Chapter 22: The Iron Pestle is Ground into a Needle
Before he knew it, they had already exited the East Avenue intersection. Walking a short distance forward, there was a wine tower, Yue Lai Wine Tower.
Long Qingyue and Long Qingyu entered the backyard of Yue Lai Wine House. The carved beams and painted rafters, winding corridors and courtyards, glittering with gold and jade, were not like those in ordinary small wine houses at all. Inside, it was a different world. After turning several long corridors, they arrived at a spacious and bright room. They saw people crowded together, various shouts and calls rising and falling, shouting "press big" and "press small". On the side, beautiful maids dressed in pink dresses were carrying wine, water and pastries back and forth...
It turns out that Jinxi Hall is actually a casino!
This is indeed the 'den of luxury' worthy of a noble young master. The entire courtyard looks ordinary from the outside, but inside it's resplendent with gold and jade, a scene of extravagance.
A young servant dressed in attire walked up to the side of Long Qingyue and the other three, with a respectful expression he said to Long Qingyue: "Young Master Wu is in the rear hall, Young Master Long please follow me."
As the young servant arrived at the back hall, unlike the hustle and bustle outside, it was quiet here, with a faint scent of sandalwood in the air, extremely pleasant to smell, making people involuntarily think of temples on high mountains, and originally tense hearts would also involuntarily slowly relax.
On the soft couch in front, a handsome young man was half-reclining, with an air of nonchalance. On either side of his feet stood a beautiful woman, one feeding him grapes and the other massaging his feet.
This man was Wu Changkuan, the eldest son of the Ministry of War.
Under the soft couch, another young man sat on a taishi chair, with a gentle and delicate appearance. This young man was also surrounded by two beautiful women. He was a collateral disciple of the Grand Preceptor's Manor, named Shen Cheng.
Long Qing's eyes narrowed slightly, she was quite good at enjoying herself! However, whoever dared to plot against her brother or scheme against the General's Manor, she would show no mercy!
Wu Changkuan couldn't help but sneer when he saw Long Qingyu and his sister: "Young Master Long is really enthusiastic, even bringing his younger sister along. It's been a few days since I've seen her, and it seems like she's become prettier." He looked up at Long Qingyue and said, "Why haven't you been chasing after the Third Prince and Zhong Shizi lately? Haha..."
A cold glint flashed in Long Qingyue's eyes, like a shooting star that vanished instantly. Her fist clenched beneath her sleeve. Beside her, Long Qingyu's face turned icy, on the verge of an outburst, when a soft and slender hand grasped his sleeve. Turning back, he met Long Qingyue's calm and serene face.
Before Long Qingyu could speak, Long Qingyue had already taken a few steps forward, smiling slightly, "Wu Gongzi is indeed a romantic, with beautiful women in his arms, fine food and wine, living like an immortal. On one hand, he indulges in music and desire, on the other hand, he cultivates his spirit and practices martial arts. He's truly a young genius! I believe that as long as Wu Gongzi works hard, he can definitely turn an iron rod into a needle!"
Wu Changkuan was tall and large in stature, but his complexion was sallow and his eyes were dim, the muscles on his body were slack, at a glance he looked like a stallion that had been overindulged.
Wu Changkuan did not understand the meaning of Long Qingyue's words, thinking that the other was just praising himself, and couldn't help but show a self-satisfied expression. Shen Cheng, who was beside him, didn't forget to flatter and fawn.
Long Qingyu was taken aback at first, then her face turned red, and she secretly wondered how Xiaoyue could say such a thing - wasn't she a girl?! However, when he saw Wu Changkuan and Shen Cheng's idiotically pleased expressions, he couldn't help but laugh again.
In the adjacent room, only a wall away from the main hall, a man in a crimson robe like blood, holding a cup of tea in his hand, when he heard what Long Qingyue said in the main hall, his lips involuntarily curled up into a beautiful arc. What an interesting woman, yet so shameless. But rumor has it that Long Qingyue is a fool, how could she say such words with hidden sarcasm?
