After that, Lion was invited by a mistress to sit on the golden position on the second floor, where all kinds of delicious drinks and food were served.
There were also many greenhouse girls who admired Lion's talents and were self-nominated to join him.
However, he politely declined the enthusiastic greenhouse girls because he had a slight obsession with cleanliness and was not interested in being touched by other women.
While enjoying the delicious food and drinks, Lion also watched the performance on the stage with excitement.
He couldn't help but exclaim in his heart that this place was truly a paradise for men, with delicious drinks, tasty food, and beautiful women with extraordinary talents and appearances as companions.
No wonder countless men longed for this place, willing to spend their fortune here!
Because this place satisfied all the desires and needs that a man could imagine!
At this moment, Lion raised his cup and toasted: "Master Trieu, please!"
The other party quickly raised their cup and responded: "As the main guest, you also have to toast!"
After drinking a cup of wine, the relationship between the two parties became closer.
Lion curiously asked, "Master Trieu, why is this place so lively?"
The other party shook their head and replied with a smile, "It's not always like this, it's just relatively lively these days!"
"Why is that?" Lion was curious.
"Because Bach Hoa Phuong's Lady Ly Su Su is preparing to choose a husband, and she will perform a show soon. As she performs, people will come to cheer her on!" Mr Trieu said with a smile.
"Miss Su Su?" Lion frowned, not understanding.
Seeing Lion's confusion, Master Trieu immediately explained, "Miss Su Su's full name is Ly Su Su. She is a woman from this area, the Green Tower district, who sells her art but not herself. She holds the beauty of flowers, the shyness of the moon, and the gracefulness of birds and fish, and is also skilled in calligraphy, painting, poetry, and various other arts. She is a famous talented woman in the capital and has many suitors."
"But a few days ago, she publicly announced that she will choose a husband soon and is looking for a man who is highly educated, has a high position, and has strong abilities. So everyone is very sad because they won't have a chance to see Miss Su Su anymore after she gets married."
"Who is she going to marry?" Lion asked curiously.
"I don't know either! But she said she's looking for a man who is highly educated, has a high position, has strong abilities, and is a suitable husband for her. So there are a lot of people here these days, hoping to impress Miss Su Su. . ."
Lion winked and said cunningly: "It seems that you, Mr Trieu, are also a member of that group!"
Mr Trieu laughed: "Who doesn't want to be intimate? Who doesn't want to embrace beauty? But it's just a matter of finding someone suitable, and the opportunity is too far away for me. So I just joined in the excitement! However, I see that you have a great chance!"
"I'm not interested in these things," Lion shook his head and laughed.
He was someone who could run away at any time, how could he get married and have children?
If he really wanted to find a wife, he would have to wait until he settled down first!
"No need to talk so much, let's drink!"
"Right! I'll toast to you, the first one official!"
. . .
At this moment, inside a quiet room, a stunningly beautiful woman was holding a pen and writing down a poem that Lion had just recited, engraving each word into her memory.
"Silent tower with no words spoken, moon like a hook, serene and deep, spreading its clear essence! Farewell without an end, a world in chaos, witnessing the separation! Parting with the most beloved, starting from the heart! ... What a beautiful poem!"
The stunning woman was lost in thought.
This poem truly portrayed her life and innermost thoughts. She couldn't help but think of her past.
In the past, due to family relationships, she had to become a courtesan in Bach Hoa Phuong. But relying on her talent and skills, she was able to protect her purity and became the top courtesan in the district, earning her the nickname "Miss Su Su" and becoming famous throughout the capital.
However, everyone sees her outer beauty, who sees her pain and suffering behind her?
If there was a choice, who would willingly be a concubine at this kind of place?
Being desired by countless men with greedy, malicious, and lustful eyes?
"Miss, just choose to marry the high-ranking scholar Lion!"
A female student in a green dress spoke actively: "Look, the new high-ranking scholar Lion is handsome and courteous, outstanding in scholarship, and has already passed the three highest imperial examinations at a young age. Moreover, there are not many people who can wear the ancient golden robe like him."
"And besides, he is still in front of the Empress Dowager, having just been promoted half a rank two days ago for his academic achievements in the Imperial Academy, and was rewarded with a luxurious mansion. He can listen to lectures every day! If you marry him, the Cao Family cannot treat you as they please!"
Before she stood the beautiful and talented Ly Su Su, the top of the Bach Hoa Phuong.
Unfortunately, she was noticed by a rich and powerful mother-in-law. Her son was a wealthy playboy who indulged in food, gambling, and women. He relied on his father's power and influence to do many evil deeds, making people angry but afraid to speak up.
In order not to be oppressed by the Cao Family, she chose to leave at this time.
She found a kind soldier to protect her and earn a living.
However, the Cao Family saw through her plans and threatened those who tried to help her. As a result, even those with higher status and positions dare not approach her, afraid of offending the Cao Family.
Therefore, during these days, she did not seek out anyone suitable for marriage.
Lion's appearance was also unexpected.
Ly Su Su sighed: "Little Thuy, you said everything is good! The Imperial Court Scholar, regardless of talent or appearance, is the best candidate, and with the emperor's favour, there is no need to fear Cao Family! Unfortunately, he is a greedy official!"
