If you just look at these virtues, Xu Erfu is indeed a shining star of tomorrow!
Born into a prestigious family with many officials, educated, handsome. Even the emperor, likely has the impulse to marry his daughter to him.
Indeed, the emperor was impressed by Xu Erfu's brilliance and even contemplated marrying a princess to him.
However, after hearing about some of Xu Erfu's exploits, the emperor secretly abandoned the idea and felt grateful he hadn't mentioned it to Xu Zhongliang.
Because this little guy...is quite the womanizer!
Since the age of seven, he was peeking at his maids bathing, sneaking into brothels at eight, and at nine, he had bought the freedom of a courtesan, seven years his senior... these incidents and more are too numerous to count.
The incident with the most popular courtesan at the time caused a great commotion.
No brothel owner would happily part with their top courtesan. Yet, Xu Erfu almost tore the place down!
