Chen's family was a prominent clan in Jiangning. This villa, situated halfway up the mountain, was built beautifully and grandly. When Ning Yi arrived, Yunzhu and Jin'er were already there, waiting for him in the courtyard near the gate. Ning Yi appeared from behind and patted their shoulders, saying, "These two young masters are quite handsome, resembling two young ladies I met before. I wonder if you have any younger sisters at home you could introduce to me. Search: \(¨Complete¨Book¨Station¨) to read high-quality literature for free."

He ran over to crack a joke, and Yunzhu turned her head, appearing happy. "There's one named Yunzhu, would the young master like her?"

Jin'er, standing beside her, wore a displeased expression—which was her usual state anyway—that worsened upon hearing Yunzhu's words. "This young master is also handsome, resembling a young lady I once played with. Could that be your younger sister?"

Jin'er had heard lewd and vulgar words aplenty in Jin Feng Brothel, but she never spoke like that normally. Now, clearly annoyed, she spoke pointedly. After she finished, Yunzhu glanced at her, and Jin'er harrumphed and turned her face away. She was a few years younger than Yunzhu, and dressed as a boy, she looked even younger. Ning Yi couldn't help but laugh as he watched them. "What does a snot-nosed brat like you know about playing with women? By the way, I saw you arguing with Liu Qingdi earlier, what happened?"

Yunzhu looked at Jin'er. "Li Heng, don't tease her. Liu Qingdi was being annoying because of this."

"Oh?"

"Actually, it's nothing much. We came here dressed as men, so Liu Qingdi naturally recognized us. He told the girl beside him to come over and call us 'sister,' and she kept saying things to provoke us. Then Liu Qingdi and his two friends came over and said some strange things, like 'how we used to be' and 'if we were going to perform anything today...'"

She smiled gracefully as she spoke. She didn't need to act too aggrieved in front of the man before her; a few words were enough for him to understand. Ning Yi nodded. He had invited Yunzhu to come along originally to see the sights together, but in reality, the Jiangning upper class was a small circle. If Liu Qingdi could recognize Jin'er, perhaps others could as well. Although they had turned over a new leaf and had nothing to be ashamed of in their hearts, running into such things while trying to relax would still be infuriating.

"I should have come with you. I didn't think of that..."

"It's not your fault." Liu Qingdi's provocation was aimed directly at exposing their identities as women, so Jin'er was also annoyed by Ning Yi's greeting earlier. Hearing Ning Yi apologize, she turned her head and interrupted him with a frown. "It doesn't matter if we're recognized. We used to have that identity, and it can't be changed. It's enough to know that we don't anymore. It was Liu Qingdi who came looking for trouble, not you. Why should you apologize? Hmph, what kind of literary talents? Clingy and shameless! You can defeat him with poetry and make him lose face later."

"Do we have to be so harsh? Lose face... and why should I be the one to do it?"

"You already apologized..."

"But you said it wasn't my fault."

"I just said it casually." Jin'er was always a pragmatist. She kept her principles when she could, and discarded them when they got in the way. Thinking about it now, she glared at Yunzhu, annoyed. "And she has a younger sister to introduce to you..."

Hearing her say that, Ning Yi couldn't help but laugh. "Alright, alright, I give up." He smiled and said, "But why don't you defeat him yourself?"

"I want to, but I can't beat him."

"I'll teach you a few poems, and you can compete with him."

"Your poems... how can I use them?"

"Of course you can. For example, 'Last night the wind was sparse, the rain fierce, deep sleep couldn't dispel the lingering wine. I asked the one rolling up the curtain, who said the crabapples remained the same...'"

Ning Yi had worked in advertising design and planning for a while, so he wrote well in various fonts and had been exposed to a lot of poetry. He had gradually forgotten it later, but over the past two years, he had been exposed to various classical texts, so he naturally remembered more of the things he had come into contact with. Without intonation, he recited smoothly. Before he could finish the poem, Jin'er had already widened her eyes and said in a low, nervous voice, "Wait, wait, wait! I... I... I can't remember it! Let me go get paper and pen..."

Ning Yi waved his hand with a smile. "We'll talk about it later."

Yunzhu also grabbed Jin'er's hand. Although she had gotten used to Ning Yi's nonchalant personality, she naturally felt that such a thing was wrong. Jin'er hadn't remembered the previous lines, but she had a general idea of them. She blinked her eyes, savoring them for a while, and asked, "Li Heng, what's next?"

"The rest is castrated."

"Huh?" Yunzhu didn't understand and looked at him with a pure expression. Ning Yi thought for a moment. "It should be 'Do you know, do you know, it should be that the green is lush and the red is fading.'"

"This is a good poem, but it sounds like it should be written by a woman..." Yunzhu said softly.

Jin'er also nodded. "Green is lush and red is fading... this line is so beautiful..."

"Cough, when I was little, a nun passed by my door..."

Ning Yi and Yunzhu, Jin'er, were joking around. In fact, at this time, many people had already arrived at the villa. One side of the courtyard was actually a terrace near the mountainside, with railings, trees, and flower beds. This was the place with the most open view on the mountainside, with a clear view of Bailuzhou and the distant Stone City. Many wealthy merchants and scholars who arrived were chatting in the courtyards or halls, and there were also courtesans who accompanied them.

Since it was a spring outing, the fixed itinerary would naturally not be at the current villa. The mountain forest behind the villa was also Chen's property. After everyone gathered, they would have to climb the mountain together. At this time, the people who came arrived one after another. Ning Yi also saw Liu Qingdi, Cao Guan, and even Qi Lan, Luo Miaomiao. The woman who was with Liu Qingdi earlier spoke with Qi Lan for a while, pointing towards Ning Yi. Qi Lan smiled shyly at Ning Yi, and the woman smiled embarrassedly and gave a small bow. Ning Yi and Jin'er were gossiping about this in the attitude of two men.

"This woman clearly has a good impression of me."

"Conceited. I used to greet people like that too."

"But I'm different. I'm Ning Liheng. Qi Lan admires me so much. She must have told her just now. When she heard it, and compared me with Liu Qingdi, she should think that it's better to hook up with me... hey, I think we can use the method of stealing his girl to get revenge on Liu Qingdi."

"Steal his girl?" Jin'er didn't quite understand.

"Yeah, it's digging his foundation."

"It seems... is that okay?" Jin'er thought about it, feeling a little expectant.

"It should be no problem. Anyway, I'm a celebrity..."

"Yeah, steal her, then abandon her, start with chaos and end with abandonment!"

"Why are you so evil..."

In fact, Ning Yi was not so shallow. Speaking of this was just to tease Jin'er, who recently planned to seduce Yunzhu. Jin'er had been troubled recently because she didn't know how to get her hands on Sister Yunzhu—how should a woman like a woman? She had no clue. She didn't know how to start. After all, they were close enough, sleeping together every night. Coming out of the brothel, she actually understood some things that could be done between two women, but that was only physical. She didn't know how to start spiritually.

In fact, if they were really homosexual, there always had to be one who should have some truly masculine ideas. But on Jin'er's side, she regarded Sister Yunzhu as a woman who needed to be cared for. As for herself, she also regarded herself as an unreserved woman. Even if she dressed as a man, it was just for fun, and she would never think of herself as a man in her heart. Therefore, her feelings for Yunzhu were just a feeling of admiration, love, and respect mixed together. But in any case, at this time, hearing Ning Yi talk about picking up girls, she became interested and discussed with Ning Yi with the attitude of learning from experience.

Yunzhu looked helplessly at the two who were not serious. She could naturally see that Ning Yi was joking, but Jin'er might have taken it seriously. She occasionally rolled her eyes at Ning Yi. When Ning Yi gave her a "rest assured" look, she turned her mind to the side and carefully understood the words of green is lush and red is fading. Then, she sang a few sentences in a low voice. When someone came over, she stopped.

Coming over was Qin Shaoqian with a big beard, followed by a little loli of thirteen or fourteen years old, followed by his follower Xu Xiaohu. Judging from the clothes on the loli girl, this was also a courtesan. He only returned the day before yesterday, and immediately brought a loli with him. He could really be called very resourceful. When introducing, Qin Shaoqian didn't care, and said, "This is Miss Xiaolü."

That Miss Xiaolü looked at Yuan Jin'er, probably recognizing her: "You are... Sister Jin'er?"

Jin'er looked strange, looked at Xiaolü, looked at Qin Shaoqian, arched her hands, and said absently, "I am not Yuan Jin'er, I am Yuan Jin'er's brother, Yuan Bao'er." Obviously because she was recognized, she didn't want to hide too much.

That Xiaolü bowed: "Brother Bao'er is good."

Ning Yi was also looking at Xiaolü and Qin Shaoqian at this time. After a while, Qin Shaoqian reacted: "Oh, Xiaolü ah, it's like this, she's only fourteen years old this year. I went to Mingcui Tower last night, and they were going to give her a makeover and hang her sign. Isn't this a sin? So I bought her, thinking that she could be a concubine for Xiaohu, but Xiaohu is afraid of his wife and refuses to take her, so I can only bring her..."

Xu Xiaohu, who was behind him, scratched his eyebrows a little embarrassedly. Qin Shaoqian looked open-minded, as if there was nothing he couldn't tell others. Ning Yi thought that this guy only returned home the day before yesterday, and went to the brothel to buy a girl yesterday. This was really bold enough.

Since Qin Shaoqian came, Qin Shaohe had actually arrived, but with his identity, Chen Luoyuan personally went to greet him. At this time, he should be talking in the courtyard on the side. It is said that in addition to Qin Shaohe, the prince consort Kang Xian also came today. It seems that since a group of literati and scholars are going to compete in literary talent, with swords drawn and bows bent, then the great Confucian scholars who can rely on the old and sell the old as referees must also come. Kang Xian has always been healthy and likes to join in the fun, and rarely misses such grand events.

He can go over and say hello to them later, and let Kang Xian and Qin Shaohe give Liu Qingdi a hard time.

Thinking like this in his heart, Chen Luoyuan and others had already come out towards this side from the courtyard on the side. Then, Zhou Bangyan, Li Shishi, and others finally followed and appeared. It seems that people have arrived almost, and the next thing is to go out and play. As for the anger that will be stepped out on the way of this outing, it is a common fixed program, just depending on how much...
