Coming out of the imperial garden, Changsun Wuji and others expressed their congratulations to Lin Xuan.
If Lin Xuan was just a marquis, they really wouldn't take it seriously.
But for a fifteen-year-old Marquis, who was about to marry Princess Changle, no one dared to underestimate him.
Lin Xuan thanked everyone one by one!
"Boy Lin, you were granted the title of Marquis at a young age. When I was that old, you didn't even have a title!" Cheng bit his palm as big as a golden bear's paw and patted Lin Xuan on the shoulder.
"Hiss~"
Lin Xuan took a breath of air and said, "Uncle Cheng, I'm about to fall apart because of you."
"Okay, I don't know about you yet, but your martial arts skills are not much worse than mine." Cheng Yaojin said with eyes wide open.
Lin Xuan chuckled and said, "I can't hide anything from Uncle Cheng."
"I'm going back to the military camp first. If you have nothing to do, go back as soon as possible. Military training is an important matter and cannot be delayed." Cheng Yaojin said.
"Yes! I have some things to do now. I will go back when I'm done." Lin Xuan said.
I haven’t planted my peppers yet, so I have to wait until the peppers are planted before going back.
He really couldn't rest assured if he left it to someone else.
…
When Lin Xuan returned home, Li Dejiang was already waiting for him at his home.
"Moral Prize, why are you here?" Lin Xuan asked a little strangely.
Li Dejiang said angrily: "You still have the nerve to say that you have all gone to the military camp. I am bored to death by myself. You don't even know to come find me when you come back."
"Hey, aren't I busy? I'll treat you to dinner today." Lin Xuan said with some embarrassment.
He really forgot about the Li De Award when he came back.
Lin Xuan and the other two said hello to Lin Dongyang and left the Lin family.
As soon as he left the house, Li Dejiang walked up to Lin Xuan and whispered: "Some beauties from the Western Regions have recently come to Yixiang Courtyard. I have already reserved a seat and will take you to see them."
Yixiangyuan?
Although he had never heard of the name, Lin Xuan already knew where it was after seeing Li Dejiao's expression and the beauty.
"Okay, let's go and have a look." Normally he might not agree, but he felt a little unreasonable when he didn't go to Li Dejiang after he came back.
In fact, he is quite curious about the beauties from the Western Regions.
Because it is a land of fireworks, the entire Pingkangfang is filled with a faint aroma.
Walking into Yixiangyuan, the steward immediately greeted them warmly.
Li Dejiang told the steward the number of the private room he had reserved, and the steward arranged for the maid to take them there.
Li Dejiang ordered some wine and some snacks and sent the maid away.
Lin Xuan was a little strange. He didn't even want a girl. Could it be that Li Dejiang has changed his gender?
But he couldn't ask this question, otherwise it would appear that he was anxious.
After the maid brought the drinks and snacks, Li Dejiang said: "Let's drink first and then look for the girl after watching the beauties from the Western Regions dance."
Lin Xuan rolled his eyes. He had thought that Li Dejiang had become a vegetarian.
The two of them were drinking when a burst of cheers suddenly sounded outside. Li Dejiang quickly put down his glass and said: "It's about to start, come here quickly!"
Lin Xuan followed Li Dejiao to the window and looked out.
I saw many people surrounding the stage in the middle of the hall, shouting: "Come out quickly!"
Not long after, five women in foreign costumes walked onto the stage.
"Aren't these beauties from the Western Regions pretty?" Li Dejiang asked with a smug look on his face.
"It's okay." Lin Xuan said a little disappointed.
These women are indeed good-looking, but they are not extremely beautiful either.
Those women from the Western Regions are relatively revealing in their clothing, covered with a layer of gauze, which makes them appear looming and particularly attractive.
When they started dancing, they caused strange screams.
Lin Xuan looked at Li Dejiao and found that his saliva was almost drooling.
Lin Xuan was speechless, can you be of some use?
When the song ended, the girl from the Western Region walked off the stage.
Li Dejiang said without finishing his thoughts: "Let's go back and have a drink."
"I see that you like those women from the Western Regions very much. Anyway, you are not short of money now, so you might as well buy them back." Lin Xuan said.
Li Dejiang sighed and said, "If I buy them back, my father will beat me to death. Besides, they won't sell them."
Lin Xuan felt that the last sentence was the key point. If people were willing to sell it, Li Dejia would have bought it back long ago.
"Why don't they sell it?" Lin Xuan asked.
In ancient times, lords and dignitaries liked to have some dancing girls in their homes. When guests came to the house, they would have them dance or something.
He is now a marquis after all, and it doesn't make sense that his family doesn't even have a dancer.
"I don't know. I asked, but they said they won't sell it. I can't rob it by force," Li Dejiang said.
Since they don't want to sell it, Lin Xuan doesn't plan to talk about it.
Although there are few dancing girls from the Western Regions, they are not impossible to buy.
Li Dejiang called the maid and asked her to find two top names from Yixiangyuan to come and drink with her.
"I thought you were just here to watch those dancing girls from the Western Regions dance," Lin Xuan said.
Li Dejiang chuckled and said, "It's not okay to come to a brothel without a girl. If word spreads, others will think we can't afford it!"
What you said makes so much sense, I am speechless.
Not long after, the maid came in with two girls.
Li Dejiang sent the maid down and said to Lin Xuan: "You choose one first."
Lin Xuan was not very interested in these and chose a woman in purple at random.
With a gust of fragrance, the woman in purple clothes sat next to Lin Xuan, picked up the jug and helped Lin Xuan pour wine.
The scent of the woman in purple was so strong that Lin Xuan couldn't help but frown.
"The slave's name is Ziyi, I wonder what you call me?" Ziyi didn't notice anything unusual about Lin Xuan and said with a smile.
Lin Xuan said calmly: "My surname is Lin!"
Ziyi said with a smile: "Master Lin looks very nice, it must be your first time here, right?"
"Well, this is my first time coming to Yixiangyuan." Lin Xuan said.
"Then the young master will have to come more often!" Ziyi said.
Lin Xuan finished the wine in the glass and said with a smile: "There is such a beauty as the girl in purple. Come back at one o'clock later."
Ziyi said softly: "How can the slave family be so beautiful?"
After saying that, he took the jug and poured wine for Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan grabbed Zi Yi's hand and said with a smile: "It's a pity that the girl in Zi Yi has such hands to pour wine!"
As he said that, he took Zi Yi's hand in his.
Ziyi's face turned red with embarrassment, she pulled her hand back and gave Lin Xuan a strange look.
Lin Xuan smiled faintly and didn't do anything.
…
When Lin Xuan and Li Dejiao left Yixiangyuan, they were already a little tipsy.
"Lin Xuan, I see that you like that girl named Ziyi, why don't you buy her back?" Li Dejiang said with an ambiguous look.
The drunkenness on Lin Xuan's face disappeared and he said seriously: "This is not the place to talk. Let's go to Zuixian Tower to talk."
Seeing Lin Xuan's expression, Li Dejiang realized that something must have happened and didn't ask any more questions.
The two got on their horses and, under the protection of their own soldiers, arrived at Zuixian Tower.
Arriving at the room on the second floor, Lin Xuan ordered Liu Da to guard outside and not allow anyone to approach.
"Can we talk now? What happened?" Li Dejiang asked hurriedly.
Lin Xuan said solemnly: "There is something wrong with that Ziyi."
"Is there a problem? What's the problem?" Li Dejiang was stunned.
"I didn't pay attention at first, but when she sat next to me, I smelled the rouge aroma on her body that was very strong!" Lin Xuan said.
Li Dejiang asked in confusion: "Isn't it normal for a woman to have the scent of rouge? Let alone a woman from a brothel."
He felt that Lin Xuan was making a fuss. Some men would put on rouge. Isn't it normal for a woman to smell of rouge?
"I was just a little surprised at first, so I touched her hand! I found calluses on the palm of her hand," Lin Xuan said.
"Is there any problem with this?" Li Dejia still didn't understand.
There are calluses on his hands, which may have been caused by his previous heavy work. He really couldn't see any problem.
"In high-end brothels like Mingyue Pavilion and Yixiangyuan, the women in them are all raised from childhood. How can they have calluses on their hands? Don't you think it's strange?" Lin Xuan asked.
Those women in high-end brothels were all bought from childhood.
We usually teach them music, chess, calligraphy and painting, so how can we make them do heavy work?
"What you said is indeed a bit strange." Li Dejiang also noticed something was wrong.
Lin Xuan said: "When we were leaving, I specifically observed Ziyi's walking posture and found that she had bow-legged legs."
"What are bow legs?" Li Dejiang asked.
"The nomadic people on the grassland grew up on horses. Because they were riding horses since they were young, their legs are splayed out, which is what I call bow-legged." Lin Xuan explained.
Li Dejiang suddenly stood up and exclaimed: "You said that Ziyi is from the prairie?"
"Although I'm not sure, I'm pretty close." Lin Xuan nodded.
