Upon hearing this, the men in the hall were immediately envious. It was evident that Miss Qin was inviting Master Guo. Seizing this excellent opportunity to become Miss Qin's honored guest, becoming part of her inner circle, was just a matter of time.
Lin Wanrong exchanged a few glances with Master Guo, and finally, the young master Guo showed some intelligence. He quickly stood up and bowed, saying, "Under Miss's command, I dare not disobey."
Miss Qin smiled and returned the gesture. Then, she looked at Lin Wanrong, a hint of shyness on her face, "As for the song, how about I sing it exclusively for Master Guo? What does Master Guo think?"
Miss Qin, with her picturesque features and a smile carrying a hint of charm, seemed shy, but her eyes remained calm as water, revealing no fluctuations.
Lin Wanrong chuckled, "I am a rough man. If the lady is in the mood, she can spend more time talking with my master. As for the song, whether it is sung or not, it makes little difference."
Miss Qin strolled to Lin Wanrong's side, her body close to him, her gaze seemingly fixated on him, with a playful expression. Remembering the tricks she had used before, Lin Wanrong moved his body slightly away.
Seeing his reaction, Qin Xian'er couldn't help but blush. Covering her lips with a gentle smile, her body trembling lightly, the waves of her bosom creating a beautiful ripple. She lightly opened her vermilion lips, saying, "Earlier, it seemed forceful, but now it's generously reserved. Could it be that Master is playing a game of cat and mouse?"
Lin Wanrong chuckled, "Miss Qin is like a celestial being. In front of you, how dare I employ such strategies? Wouldn't that be making a fool of myself?"
Hearing his mockery, Qin Xian'er, aware that her attempts to confuse him with her gaze had been exposed, sighed softly and said, "I am no celestial being. In Master's eyes, I am just a courtesan who can't even perform the 'eighteen touches.' If not for this appearance, Master wouldn't spare me a second glance."
She lightly bit her vermilion lips, her eyes filled with grievances, and her tone was faintly melancholic. To those unaware, it might seem like she was playfully acting spoiled to her lover. However, Lin Wanrong, clear-headed as ever, understood that such courtesans enjoyed playing with men. If someone mistakenly believed they were being admired, it would be a grave misunderstanding.
Seeing Qin Xian'er still pretending to be shy, Lin Wanrong found it amusing. He said, "The 'eighteen touches' is a fine song. If the lady is interested, I am somewhat familiar with it. Why don't we explore it further?"
This kind of talk was not only frivolous but had completely descended into indecency. Qin Xian'er blushed, cast a resentful glance at him, then turned and walked away, flicking her sleeve as she ascended the stairs.
As Qin Xian'er left, the Miao Yu Brothel returned to its lively atmosphere. The two ladies beside Lin Wanrong, having heard his conversation, admired him and pressed their full bodies against him.
Lin Wanrong laughed and said to Master Guo, "Young Master, Miss Qin will invite you for a talk later. I'll wait for you outside."
With Lin Wanrong's help, the young master's dream came true, making him particularly happy. He shouted, "Lin San, I didn't expect you to have such skills. If things work out with Miss Xian'er in the future, I will surely thank you profusely."
While they were chatting and laughing, the gentleman named Luo Yuan walked over, smiling and bowing to Master Guo, "This is Master Guo, right? I'm Luo Yuan. Nice to meet you, Brother Guo."
Master Guo hastily stood up and saluted, "So, it's Young Master Luo. Politeness from me, Brother Guo."
Luo Yuan smiled and said, "I felt somewhat familiar when seeing Brother Guo just now, as if I've met somewhere."
Brother Guo respectfully replied, "Last year, when the Lord Governor celebrated his birthday, my father brought me to visit your residence."
"Oh, I see. And, may I know Brother Guo's father..."
"My father is Guo Quan, the county magistrate of Ning County in Suzhou."
"Oh, Brother Guo is the son of Magistrate Guo. I see, my apologies for any offense."
"No offense taken, Young Master Luo." Although Luo Yuan called him "Brother," Brother Guo knew the difference in their status and did not dare to overstep.
Luo Yuan laughed, "I found Brother Guo somewhat familiar indeed. However, I must have forgotten. My apologies."
Brother Guo, realizing that he was just being polite, didn't mind. At this moment, Luo Yuan suddenly remembered something, "Hehe, Lin Brother, do you have any idea how Miss Qin sings the 'eighteen touches'? Is it different from the seductive performance of the brothel's Xiao Hong?"
This guy had a lustful heart but lacked the courage. Lin Wanrong found it amusing. He replied, "Luo Brother, I haven't heard Xiao Hong's performance, but Miss Qin's rendition is undoubtedly delightful."
Luo Yuan sighed, "I'm afraid I won't have that privilege. However, Brother Lin and Brother Guo might still have some hope."
Hearing Luo Yuan's sigh, Lin Wanrong chuckled and said, "Luo Brother, pursuing girls, in essence, is quite simple."
"Oh?" At the mention of this topic, Luo Yuan suddenly became interested, "Brother Lin, please share your insights with me."
Even the young master, who had been pretending to be serious, perked up, eager to hear Lin Wanrong's advice.
