The rich man had just taken a step forward when the middle-aged servant on his left reached out to stop him. "Fourth Young Master, you can't."
The rich man raged, "That's my friend. If you embarrass him, you embarrass me. If you embarrass me, you embarrass the Zhan family!"
The middle-aged servant's expression did not change. "This man has been behaving badly, why must you stand up for him?
If the Elder Young Master finds out that you've made friends carelessly, he'll punish you. "
The rich man laughed angrily. "Very well, you're using him to pressure me again."
At this moment, a servant girl came down from the hall to feed Zhou Qingyang a Plum Fragrance Pill. Li Chengfeng frowned when he saw this. He turned to look at the attic, only to see a pretty face flash by the window. Little Bell, who was resting her elbows on the windowsill, smiled at Li Chengfeng and said, "Young Master Li is indeed loyal and loyal. You've scolded Zhou Qingyang so harshly today, this will be a great story!"
As she spoke, she suddenly stood up and pointed at Zhou Qingyang, yelling, "Hey, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and carry him down, don't dirty our Miss's place!"
Only then did the thugs at the side react. They rushed forward and carried Zhou Qingyang away.
Qiu Liansheng nudged Li Chengfeng with his shoulder and whispered, "Sigh, I think you've offended someone again!"
Li Chengfeng glanced over to see the rich man glaring at him. When he saw Li Chengfeng's gaze, the rich man glared at him before looking away.
Li Chengfeng said helplessly, "Why do I have to say 'again'?"
Qiu Liansheng laughed heartily. "Yes, why do I have to say 'again'?"
Little Bell, who was in the attic, said, "Sigh, what a disappointment. Our Miss is tired and wants to rest. Let's go our separate ways."
Everyone was greatly disappointed, and sighed sorrowfully.
The rich man looked away from Li Chengfeng and looked up at the window. "Wait!"
Little Bell turned to look at him. "What else do you want to say?"
The rich man said, "I've offended Lady Sumei with gold and silver just now, I regret it very much.
I have a treasure, if Lady Sumei is willing to meet me, I will give it to you with both hands! "
Little Bell sneered, "Why would I care?"
The man waving the fan smiled and said confidently, "Don't speak so early. Whether it's a treasure or not, we'll know once we see it!" He flipped his wrist and a small incense burner appeared in his hand.
This incense burner was extremely pocket-sized, almost the size of a toddler's fist. However, the incense burner was inlaid with various colored gems in an extremely orderly manner, and around the gems were carved intricate and strange patterns.
"Isn't it just an incense burner?
Who hadn't seen it before?
Wouldn't it be an incense burner if it was inlaid with a few gems? "
The man with the folding fan sneered, "Oh?"
As he spoke, the incense burner suddenly floated up by itself. Every gem emitted a gentle light. These lights gradually fused together, forming a five-colored light wave that constantly drifted in all directions.
Everyone in the hall felt refreshed as soon as they touched this light pattern. They couldn't help but exclaim, "So fragrant, so fragrant!"
He asked curiously, "What treasure is this?
It's so magical? "
When the man with the folding fan saw that everyone was shocked by this rare treasure, he said proudly, "What do you think?
This is the priceless Immortal Five Colours Incense. Even the ugliest person will become extremely beautiful after being bathed in this fragrance for a long time.
If a girl as beautiful as a fairy is bathed in this fragrance, she can maintain her youthful appearance for a long time! "
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall was instantly stirred. All the men stood up in unison and were dumbstruck. All of them were experienced men, so they naturally knew that if such a precious treasure were to be given to a beauty, then there would probably be no woman in the world that wouldn't be moved by it!
If it was put up for auction in the market, the famous prostitutes and noblewomen in the north would probably fight to the death for it!
If this treasure was given to a beautiful woman, no matter how famous the prostitutes were, wouldn't they be asking for it?
Even the sharp-tongued Little Bell's eyes widened as she stared at the Immortal Five Colours Incense. Even her breathing quickened.
Was there any girl in the world who did not dream of obtaining a treasure like this?
The rich man's face was full of pride. He raised his head and said, "I'll ask again, if this treasure is given to Lady Sumei, can you see her?"
Little Bell opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, no words came out. She looked back with a conflicted expression.
Everyone looked up at the pavilion. The rich man's face was full of confidence and pride. Suddenly, there was the sound of a zither, followed by a clear voice singing softly.
"The sky is white and the moon is barren, the mountains are green and the setting sun is old.
Vows are old in front of flowers, but the love is long under the moon.
Who doesn't have a day of youth, they are all young men.
Once on the bed, they rush to make promises.
When they wake up the next day, they stare blankly at the empty bed.
Abandoned like a pair of old shoes, their hearts are cold after death.
People say that a man who betrays his heart is sung.
It's easy to get treasures, but it's hard to find a lover. "
Cheng 'an City originally only had three famous courtesans. They were all the winners of the previous Courtesan Awards. Their beauty and skills were exceptional. It was only when Liu Zhixi arrived that she conquered the entire North with her superb Guqin skills. Many rich men from the surrounding cities flocked to her. Liu Zhixi became the top courtesan of the Courtesan Awards. However, a year later, when Liu Sumei arrived in Cheng' an City, Liu Zhixi was no longer the only one.
Although Liu Sumei's zither skills were not as good as Liu Zhixi's, her singing was top notch. She sang a song that lingered in the air for three days.
When this poem was recited, everyone could feel the deep sorrow and longing in the song. No one knew who was the first to yell, "Good!!" Only then did the crowd wake up from their dream and cheer thunderously.
The rich man was the only one who looked angry. "Fairy Sumei, what kind of lover in this world can compare to my precious daughter?"
The sound of a zither could be heard from the attic. Liu Sumei said leisurely, "Isn't there a lover standing downstairs who can't be exchanged for money?"
Everyone turned to look at Li Chengfeng. Liu Sumei did not say who, but they all knew who she was referring to.
Li Chengfeng's act of burying Liu Zhixi had spread throughout Cheng 'an, becoming the talk of the town. Other than Mr Moral and the infuriated Governor, everyone else was full of praise.
All eyes were on Li Chengfeng. Qiu Liansheng stood at the side with his hands on his hips, looking proud of Li Chengfeng.
The rich man glared at Li Chengfeng, his expression full of disgust. He took a deep breath and walked to Li Chengfeng, "I'll give you this Immortal Five Colours Incense. You, leave, now!"
His words were domineering, but who was Li Chengfeng?
That was a donkey!
Instead of leading, you'll retreat!
Li Chengfeng stared at the rich man for a while, then suddenly laughed, "Alright!" As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed the delicate incense burner floating in mid-air.
Everyone looked at Li Chengfeng in disdain. What kind of bullsh * t lover is he? He's just so-so!
Little Bell's eyes were wide as saucers, as if she had mistaken Li Chengfeng for her husband. Her eyebrows were raised as Li Chengfeng held the incense burner. She looked like she was about to yell at him.
However, after Li Chengfeng took the incense, he turned and passed it to Qiu Liansheng, saying sincerely, "Old Qiu, you really need this!"
Everyone looked at Qiu Liansheng, only to see his black face full of pockmarks. His face looked like a sesame cake dropped into the mud, ugly beyond belief. They all burst into laughter.
