Han Xianzi seemed not too fond of watching her own performances.
But it doesn't matter, Xiao Li is known for having watched countless films, and his reserves are quite astonishing—not referring to his hard drive or browsing history.
"Ice Cube seems to prefer anime and isn't too keen on movies."
"She watched '5 Centimeters Per Second' very intently, and she also likes soda and potato chips..."
Li Mo smacked his lips as he came out of the room, the smell of potato chips had faded by now.
But he wasn't savoring the taste of potato chips.
Not long after going downstairs, he happened to see Zhong Zhenyue and Xie Xuan, who were both planning to open the Fengyue Small Building; they were now tirelessly enjoying it.
"Brother Li, you've just woken up. I saw your room was empty just now, and I thought you had gone to the Sword Furnace again."
Zhong Zhenyue couldn't help but be curious.
He had been watching these past few days; the Qianlong Assembly was over, yet Brother Li still ran to the Sword Furnace every day, working so hard it made one's scalp tingle. He couldn't even tolerate his own idleness.
If it weren't for the Fengyue Small Building earning so much.
"It's not like he's only out of his room today."
Xie Xuan chewed on a blade of grass.
The bitterness that had faded these past few days, why did it seem to resurface in his heart?
"Brother Li, forgive my bluntness, but while the beauty you face is irresistible to anyone, you cannot continue to degrade yourself like this, I tell you."
Xie Xuan's tone was full of emotion.
Li Mo: "?"
Is that your excuse for abusing your power and washing your feet several times a day?
"We were just watching a movie."
"What is a movie?"
"Alas..." freёwebnovel.com
Being looked at with a slightly pitying gaze by Xiao Li, Xie Xuan felt insulted.
Zhong Zhenyue didn't understand, full of a thirst for knowledge.
So, as they walked out, Li Mo pulled out a bag of potato chips and said:
"Uh, it's just two people, watching opera or storybooks together, and also eating some snacks, like popcorn and potato chips."
Li Mo was calm and composed, with a righteous expression.
It is well known that potato chips and popcorn can make one's fingers dirty.
But Ice Cube's delicate hands would not.
The snacks were given to Ice Cube, so he had to find something to eat, right?!
Is this reasonable? I don't care if it's reasonable or not!
"Brother Li got the top spot, and he's finally slacking off."
Zhong Zhenyue breathed a sigh of relief.
His father had been sighing at him every day recently.
From those sighs, he heard the sentiment that comparing people leads to death, that having seen other Juniors excel, the more he looked at his own foolish son, the more annoyed he became.
Old Zhong felt this couldn't go on.
"Brother Li, how about from now on I call you foster father, and you still call me brother? We'll address each other as we are."
"Huh?"
Looking at the serious Zhong Zhenyue, Li Mo didn't quite understand what Genius idea Old Zhong's little brain had come up with.
Even a Genius like him couldn't figure it out.
Xie Xuan wore a mischievous smile, his lips harder to suppress than a pig's at New Year's:
"Then Little Zhong would have to call me uncle, wouldn't he?"
Li Mo thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, it's the other way around."
"?"
"Du Lao and I swore an oath, beheading a chicken and burning yellow paper, becoming sworn brothers. Your Master's own seniority might not be enough."
"????"
Seeing Xie Xuan's bewildered expression, Li Mo decided to temporarily bury the secret in spring and not tell Manor Lord Xie what was really going on with Xie Xuan's journey of a thousand miles beginning with a single step.
Otherwise, Xie Xuan would inevitably be beaten like a grandson.
With such a big difference in seniority then, how could they still be brothers?
"This should also be an investment, and a well-intentioned one at that. Why doesn't the System count it for me?"
Li Mo followed them into the carriage.
"Brother Li, what are you doing getting in?"
"She's cultivating. I'll go to the shop with you guys to take a look."
Firstly, Xiao Li absolutely had no messy thoughts; this time, he was a true gentleman from the bottom of his heart.
The Fengyue Small Building was now one of the sources of his Power of All Living Beings and investment feedback.
And he was currently lacking both of these.
The Ruyi Golden Cudgel was still stuck in the Small World and couldn't be pulled out.
He felt that if one day his Physical Body strength became stronger, and he also wore the Golden Chainmail, Lotus Silk Buyun Boots, and phoenix-winged purple gold crown, empowered by the Power of All Living Beings.
Perhaps he could try... the Fengyue Small Building.
In a private room on the third floor, a middle-aged man wearing half a mask and dressed in merchant's clothing, looking like a wealthy businessman, was the first to go upstairs.
Behind him were Luo Yexian and a richly dressed Young Master, with a Qilin pendant hanging from his waist and a high mountain crown on his head, looking gentle and refined.
"How has this Fengyue Small Building changed?"
The Young Master seemed displeased.
"Song Gongzi has been studying the sages' books in the National Academy for a long time, oblivious to the outside world, so he doesn't know that this place has changed owners, which is why it has been altered to its current appearance."
The Hall Master of Blood Refinement adopted a very humble posture.
"Oh? They didn't even report it to the Minister of Rites. I'd like to see if this place conforms to propriety."
The Fengyue Small Building was originally the Fourth Prince's property, but all brothel-like establishments in Dijin were under the jurisdiction of the Minister of Rites.
In fact, initially, this place was directly managed by the Minister of Rites, and the wives and daughters of disgraced officials would all be sent there.
All brothels in Dijin had a common ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) backer, which was the Minister of Rites.
The Minister of Rites also had the surname Song.
"I heard it's quite proper, but it's just too proper."
Luo Yexian sighed.
Why didn't they change it into a mahjong parlor? freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
"Ultimately, it's all up to Song Gongzi. Please."
The Hall Master of Blood Refinement led the way into the third floor.
They didn't call for any girls, only ordered some pastries and wine and dishes.
Song Gongzi was a bit displeased: "Although my father is very particular about etiquette, since we're already here..."
It wasn't easy for me to get out of the academy and have some fun. Am I here to eat with you guys?
Although my father is the Minister of Rites, whether you call for girls or not is your business; I can refuse!
He had already decided that if three batches of girls weren't satisfactory, he would righteously declare that a gentleman should uphold etiquette.
What did this mean now?
The Hall Master of Blood Refinement chuckled: "Young Master, please calm down. I've invited the original courtesan of the Fengyue Small Building, who is currently getting ready."
Only then did Song Gongzi relent: "We're old friends, you should have said so earlier. What's the matter this time?"
"The promotional effect of the heavenly venerable brand instant noodles last time was good, so I'd like to make a small suggestion."
"Oh?"
"Young Master, you see, the Dragon of Hidden Potential have the Qianlong Assembly, but the buhua juese don't have a Buhua Assembly. Why don't we organize one?"
"There's no precedent for this; I'm afraid it's not in line with..."
"Think about it, these buhua juese, each one is exquisitely beautiful, captivating cities and nations. Oh, by the way, especially a certain Han Xianzi, not yet eighteen, but everyone says she has the appearance of a Heavenly Immortal, a goddess in the moon; even a empress might not compare..."
"Hiss..."
Song Gongzi held his wine glass and leaned back slightly.
He seemed to find it somewhat interesting.
Seeing his reaction, the Hall Master of Blood Refinement and Luo Yexian exchanged glances, knowing that this matter was almost certainly settled..
