Xu Xingyin had met Xiao Anzi before. He nodded and returned the greeting, then told Xiao Anzi the whole story.

Xiao Anzi smiled when he heard this and said, "Miss Xu Qi came at an inopportune time. It is the time for the court session and His Highness is not at home."

"It doesn't matter."

Xu Xingyin had no intention of meeting Jing Zhichen. "I wonder if you could trouble Eunuch An to pass it on for me."

Xiao Anzi naturally agreed without hesitation, said a few polite words, and personally escorted Xu Xingyin and his servant to the carriage.

After dealing with Jing Zhichen's matter, Xu Xingyin did not delay any longer. After entrusting Dan Feng to Tian Tian, ​​he went to Lu Xu's house alone.

The one who welcomed Xu Xingyin into the mansion was Lu Xu's personal servant Zheng Ye. The two of them turned around the corridor and entered the main hall. As soon as they entered the door, they saw a woman in a green dress.

Although her appearance is not stunning, her tall figure is probably the envy of many men.

Lu Xu is really great. He has only been an official for a few days, and I haven't seen him handle many cases to eliminate harm for the people, but he has mastered the skill of keeping a beautiful woman in a golden house.

This Lu Xu's taste is also strange, he actually likes this...

A woman who feels quite safe, but why does she seem strangely familiar to me?

The woman turned her head when she heard the noise and saw Xu Xingyin staring at her with a mocking look on his face. She immediately yelled in anger:

"What are you looking at! If it wasn't for you, would I dress like this?"

"puff--"

It would be fine if this person didn't speak, but when he spoke, his rough tone of a big man was mixed with the soft tones of Wu dialect, and you could tell that there was no one else but that person.

Not to mention, Lu Xu's figure looks quite good in women's clothing...

Unique hahaha.

Xu Xingyin's unbridled laughter made Lu Xu's face look even worse. He angrily grabbed the clothes from the tray beside him and threw them directly at Xu Xingyin.

"Funny, huh? Then I guess we don't have to go to the Gray Market."

The originally cheerful laughter stopped abruptly. Xu Xingyin took off the clothes on his head and said seriously:

"How can I not go? I'm not laughing at you, I'm just envious!"

"Oh, what are you envious of?"

"I envy Master Lu's tall and straight figure!"

Xu Xingyin spoke without blushing or beating her heart, "I only knew that Master Lu was so charming and graceful, but I didn't expect that even in women's clothing he could look so fresh and refined. Fortunately, you are not a woman, otherwise my mother would be worried that I would not be able to get married."

Lu Xu was used to Xu Xingyin's nonsense, so he didn't find it strange and retorted with a curled lip.

"You can't marry me if I'm not a woman."

"If I can't get married, then I won't." Xu Xingyin shrugged and didn't care. After replying this, she followed the servant into the backyard to change clothes.

Xu Xingyin's outfit was different from Lu Xu's. It was a moon-white Liuxian dress with extremely complicated decorations. It took her a while to put it together.

After changing clothes, Xu Xingyin started complaining as soon as he went out.

"Why aren't our clothes the same? This one is so troublesome!"

"My clothes are those of a maid, and yours are those of a musician, so they are naturally different."

"Maidmaid?"

Xu Xingyin stared at Lu Xu suspiciously, "How dare you pretend to be a maid if you can serve others?"

When talking about this, Lu Xu's face darkened even more, and he looked a little gnashed-teethed.

"Have you ever seen such a tall dancer?"

"..."

Xu Xingyin tried his best to suppress his smile, and acted as if he had just been enlightened, "Master Xiao Lu, what a good plan!"

Even though the compliment was not sincere, Lu Xu still appreciated it very much and hummed lightly before explaining.

"The piece of music played is 'Three Variations on Plum Blossoms'. Remember to practice it."

"okay!"

……

At night, the river is covered with mist.

The gorgeous cruise ship with carved railings and jade walls was moving smoothly in the river. The light yellow curtains were blown up by the river breeze, and the graceful dancers in the boat could be vaguely seen singing and dancing to the sound of stringed instruments. It must have been as happy as being in a fairyland on earth.

Xu Xingyin was sitting among a group of dancers in a white dress, her face covered with a white veil, her fingertips moving quickly on the strings of the piano.

The piece “Three Variations on Plum Blossoms” is ethereal and delicate, and the playing techniques change freely, which shows that the artist has put in a lot of hard work in practicing the piano.

However, in such a place of debauchery, no matter how well the piano is played, it is only a foil; the graceful dancers in the front are the protagonists.

Xu Xingyin was very satisfied with this situation, and willingly acted as a background board with Lu Xu who was standing next to the pillar.

What they didn't know was that among the group of spectators, there was a pair of eyes fixed on Xu Xingyin.

Only when the last note fell did Xu Xingyin breathe a sigh of relief.

He stood up and bowed to the other dancers. Just as he was about to leave, he saw a woman who looked like a brothel owner walking in with great grace. The dancers stepped back and stood in two rows.

Xu Xingyin was stunned, and quickly followed everyone else's example and stood over, sitting at the edge, right next to Lu Xu.

The madam smiled in a flattering manner, "Gentlemen, the most exciting moment of the night is about to begin!"

Xu Xingyin and Lu Xu looked at each other, both of them had confused expressions, but the spectators below all showed expectant expressions.

The two were wondering when they heard the brothel owner speak again.

"All the girls on the field tonight are available for you to choose. According to the usual practice, the highest bidder wins. Cash payment is accepted. No credit is accepted."

Xu Xingyin was so angry that he almost slapped Lu Xu in the face. However, due to the situation, he could only stare at Lu Xu with his eyes wide open, asking questions.

"Why didn't you tell me this before?"

"God is my witness. I didn't know this was going to happen!"

Lu Xu complained with a bitter face, paused and whispered: "But you and I are just foils, how can we be as lovable as these girls in front who are dressed lightly and good at dancing? I don't think anything will happen to you, so just relax."

Although there is some truth in what he said, why does Xu Xingyin want to beat Lu Xu even more?

However, things were exactly as Lu Xu said. The girls selected by the distinguished guests were all the graceful dancers in front. The two people who were huddled in the corner like quails were not noticed at all.

The living girl stood there like a commodity, waiting to be sold at any price, ranging from fifty taels to five hundred taels.

Xu Xingyin watched coldly, feeling angry unconsciously.

The two were secretly rejoicing when they saw the man sitting in the middle speaking with a smile.

"I think the musician at the back is more interesting."

The man guessed that the person must be of a very noble status, and as soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of flattery.

"Mr. Liang really has good taste! The dance is beautiful, but it is incomplete without the sound of the piano. The musician is the finishing touch of this dance!"

"That's right. I've seen this gorgeous beauty many times, and I want to try something new from time to time. This girl has a pretty face and doesn't look like an ordinary person. It turns out that Master Liang is good at digging out rough jade!"
