Chapter 396 (1/2)



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.
