396 The scapegoat (2)

Ming Yan blushed and sneaked a glance at Xu Qi ‘an.

Xu Qi ‘an laughed with his eyes covered. no, no. The top prize is too little. I want all of you.

The courtesans weren’t afraid at all and replied with a smile, “”I’m afraid that Lord Xu will have to support himself against the wall to go to the Yamen tomorrow.”

A loud ‘boom’ rang out, like the laughter of a beautiful lady.

“Number three tactfully rejected my proposal. He looks like a decent person who never goes to the Imperial Academy, but this big brother of his is the exact opposite.”

Chu Yuanxi sighed in her heart. This Xu Qi ‘an was indeed a dissolute person. He was like a fish in water in the Imperial Academy and could let go of himself more than any scholar.

The education workshop and the brothels were more of a place for the scholars to socialize with their colleagues and classmates. Restaurants were places only for commoners, and the first choice for those with real status was always the education workshop.

Having a talented courtesan as a head official, and having a delicate and obedient servant girl serve him with wine, this was what honor was.

However, the scholars cared about their reputation and would not be too unrestrained, but Xu Qi ‘an was different.

“Even if you die under a peony flower, you’ll still be a ghost!” Xu Qi ‘an put her arm around Fu Xiang’s waist.

The sudden golden sentence made everyone present secretly exclaim in admiration. How could this person’s talent be so terrifying? good sentences and good poems came out of his mouth.

If this person were to study, he would definitely become a great scholar.

Xu Pingzhi didn’t want to be his son.

“BOOM!”

An arrow was accurately shot into the barnacle, interrupting everyone’s scattered thoughts and returning their attention to their positions.

“Brother Chu, it’s starting,” Xu Qi ‘an said with a smile.

“Alright!” Chu Yuanqi replied indifferently.

As he spoke, he casually threw an arrow behind him and hit the target accurately.

“Waa …”

Ming Yan cried out in surprise and widened his eyes.

Thump thump thump …

Xu Qi ‘an and Chu Yuanyou each shot an arrow. Every time they shot an arrow, the courtesans would exclaim in surprise, feeling that their horizons had been broadened.

Pitch-pot was just a small game, but the two of them had managed to play it in a different way.

One by one, when Xu Qi ‘an had thrown in the tenth, Chu Yuanyou had already thrown in 13, leaving only seven in her hands.

When Xu Qi ‘an had five left, Chu Yuanqian only had two.

It seemed like the outcome was already decided.

Fu Xiang, Ming Yan, and a few other courtesans who supported Xu Qi ‘an looked disappointed.

The courtesans who supported Chu Yuanyu applauded in advance for the top scholar of the 27th year of yuanjing.

The surrounding officials seemed to have expected this result, and their smiles were the faintest.

Chu Yuanyang was a legendary figure. When he was still a student, he had already stood out among his classmates. His talent and appearance were outstanding, but he later gave up on literature to cultivate Dao. No one was optimistic about him, and a good friend of his was so angry that he cut off all ties with him.

Who would have thought that in just a few years, he would soar to the sky and challenge Zhang Kaitai? even though he lost, he was still honored and was praised as the number one swordsman in the capital by Wei Yuan.

In their eyes, such a peerless genius was naturally much more outstanding than Xu Qi ‘an, who was good at investigating cases.

At this time, Chu Yuanyou had already thrown the second last arrow, which accurately entered the pot.

Fu Xiang pursed her lips and looked away from the barnacles. She glanced at Xu Qi. an and was surprised to see the corners of the man’s mouth slightly raised … She was very familiar with this expression. Every time Xu Qi ‘an was proud of himself, the corners of his mouth would curl up slightly.

He was confident?

Just as the thought came to her mind, Fu Xiang saw an absurd scene. Xu Qi ‘an threw the five arrows in his hand at the same time. They drew a neat arc in the air and entered the pot perfectly.

The five arrows only had one sound-Dong!

The hall instantly fell silent, and everyone’s eyes widened.

This works too?

“Ah …” Ming Yan cheered and jumped into Xu Qi ‘an’s arms excitedly. “Lord Xu, your servant loves you to death.”

Fu Xiang frowned.

“What a marvelous skill.” An imperial censor sighed in praise.

“So pitch-pot can be played like this, this is eye-opening.” Another official chimed in with a smile.

The courtesans looked at Xu Qi ‘an with admiration.

Chu Yuanxi took off her scarf and smiled. you’re amazing.

The tea-making circle lasted until the early Haishi (9 p.m.) Before it ended. The courtesans yawned repeatedly and got up to bid farewell. Their skirts fluttered in the wind, and their postures were light.

Although they were a little tired, the beauties were still not satisfied. They felt that the banquet with Xu Qi ‘an and the number one swordsman in the capital was very interesting. Unfortunately, they could not meet such high-quality guests every day.

Ming Yan had secretly written on Xu Qi ‘an’s palm to lure him to his own Blue Pond court, but Fu Xiang had indifferently said a few words and then driven him away.

Chu Yuanxi didn’t stay the night at the teaching workshop and left. Xu Qi ‘an personally sent him out of the hospital.

Number four was too carefree, and she had the character of a scholar … I can’t find an opportunity to cause a social death … Xu Qi ‘an looked at the green-robed swordsman’s back and felt very regretful.

However, scholars had their own weaknesses, such as poetry.

He would hide the second part for now and bring it out when the time was right.

Leaving the maidservants behind to clean up the mess, Fu Xiang held Xu Qi ‘an’s arm and entered the bedroom. Xu Qi’ an was sitting at the table drinking tea when he heard Zhong Li’s voice transmission.

He turned his head to look at the screen. The candlelight reflected her lithe shadow on the screen. She was taking off her dress one by one and changing into a thin gauze dress.

While taking a bath, Xu Qi ‘an suddenly said, ”

“I’ll redeem you in a few days.”

Fu Xiang was stunned for a moment. A complicated look flashed in her eyes, but she quickly calmed down and chuckled, “”Mr. Xu has just become a Viscount. It’s not good for your reputation to have a concubine now.”

“That’s fine.” Xu Qi ‘an said with a smile, her arms around her smooth waist.
