Qin Shi Huang: Swordsmanship begins with picking up Xiao Meng

Chapter 107 Ripples in Nongyu's Heart, Liu Yi Causes Trouble

Zilanxuan!
"Young master arrived much later than usual, keeping us waiting quite a while."

The woman in purple walked gracefully to greet him, her beautiful eyes still filled with melancholy, which evoked pity in people.

As Jiang Yu followed Zi Nu upstairs, she said:
"There's nothing I can do. I finally managed to get something from Miss Zi Nu last night, so I had to go back and think about it carefully. And once I started thinking about it, I lost track of time."

Zi Nu would be a fool to believe that, but she still followed up with her inquiry:
"Has the young master thought of what he wants them to do?"

The sooner this matter is resolved, the better, so that Jiang Yu won't use it to manipulate me.

"No, it's difficult to find something that I want and that Miss Zi Nu can agree to."

Jiang Yu's words conveyed great distress.

Zi Nu really wanted to punch him when she saw this.

at the same time!

"Brother Jiang!"

As expected, Jiang Yu, who was going upstairs, saw someone: Han Fei, who came out of the private room to greet her.

"Brother Han!"

Jiang Yu responded, then glanced into the private room. Needless to say, it was another room with a deep white coat facing the window.

Jiang Yu, having withdrawn her gaze, finally smiled and said:
"Coming to Zilan Pavilion to find a man, Brother Han, you're truly one of a kind."

Seeing Wei Zhuang's lack of reaction, his forehead twitched.

"Oh, hahaha!"

Han Fei scratched his head and chuckled, then invited:

"Shall we go inside and sit for a while?"

"No, someone doesn't welcome me."

Jiang Yu had no interest in listening to Han Fei and Wei Zhuang's riddles.

“Ninth Young Master, they are not like you.”

Zi Nu, who was standing to the side, chimed in at the opportune moment.

"I forgot."

Han Fei slapped his forehead. He came to Zilan Pavilion to find a man, while Jiang Yu always came to Zilan Pavilion to find Nongyu.

"Then I won't bother Brother Jiang any longer."

Han Fei winked and said something, then immediately slipped back to his room, making sure to close the door behind him.

The remaining Jiang Yu and Zi Nu did not go far before arriving at another private room, where faint, intermittent music could be heard.

"Nongyu, the person you wanted to see has been invited by your sister."

Zi Nu greeted them and then pushed open the door to enter.

The music in the room stopped abruptly, and Nongyu, who was practicing, stood up and bowed to Jiang Yu:
"Son!"

"I've kept Miss Nongyu waiting!"

Jiang Yu said something, and at the same time skillfully put down the sword in his hand and sat down in the main seat.

"No, no, it is Nongyu who has disturbed you, young master."

Nongyu shook her head slightly and continued:

“A few days ago, Nongyu was unaware of the value of the young master’s gift and hastily accepted it. When she wanted to tell the young master about it in person, he had already left. So Nongyu dared to ask Sister Zinu to invite the young master again so that she could thank him in person for his great kindness.”

Although it wasn't as exaggerated as Zi Nu had previously described, Nong Yu did indeed want to see Jiang Yu this time.

"Miss Nongyu, you flatter me."

Jiang Yu waved his hand dismissively, figuring that Nongyu would be one of his own anyway, so he wouldn't lose out no matter what.

"Young master really only has eyes for Nongyu, sending her flowers and lavish gifts."

Zi Nu, who was pouring wine for Jiang Yu, couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy:
"Unlike other people, they didn't even offer a pitiful 'sorry for keeping you waiting'."

"elder sister!"

The thin-skinned Nongyu couldn't stand Zinu's teasing, but compared to before, Nongyu's calm heart was gradually becoming turbulent.

Given Nongyu's beauty, it was not uncommon for her to encounter customers who would spend lavishly on her at Zilan Pavilion. Therefore, Jiang Yu's previous attempt to redeem her at an exorbitant price was already commonplace for Nongyu.

What truly made Nongyu look at Jiang Yu differently was that Jiang Yu could genuinely understand her music.

The meeting of Bo Ya and Zi Qi is the dream of every musician in this era. As Nong Yu returned to her zither and sat down, her delicate hands plucked the strings, and beautiful melodies filled the air.

This time, no longer obsessed with breakthroughs, Jiang Yu was completely immersed in the music, and thus experienced scenery she had never seen before.

Wildflower-covered meadows, tranquil forests, and deep, secluded lakes...

And there's that poignant sadness that lingers in the music.

Unfortunately, a sudden, abrupt sound broke the ambiance of the music.

"Get him here right now, quick!"

"Do you know who I am? I am the Left Sima, who dares to mess with me?"

……

"elder sister!"

A maid from Zilan Pavilion ran over in a panic.

"what happened?"

Zi Nu asked, her expression suggesting she already understood something.

"It's Lord Liu. He's drunk and wants to take Nongyu over. No matter how the sisters try to persuade him, it's no use."

The maid reported back.

"I'll be there right away."

Zi Nu shook her head slightly. Sure enough, this kind of thing happened all too often in Zi Lan Xuan, and Zi Nu handled it with great ease.

Therefore, he only said one sentence to Nongyu:
"Don't worry about entertaining the young master, little sister. I'll handle this matter."

"Thank you for your trouble, sister."

Nongyu responded and then continued to play the zither for Jiang Yu.

"Liu Yi, the Left Sima?"

Jiang Yu, who had been admiring the zither with her eyes closed, now opened them and gently swirled the wine in her cup, saying:
"I heard he married the daughter of the former Lord of Fire and Rain?"

"good."

Upon hearing this, Zi Nu stopped in her tracks, glanced briefly at the Fire Rain Agate at Nong Yu's waist, and recalled what Jiang Yu had said earlier.

Said:

"After Huoyu Manor was wiped out by bandits, Huoyu Gong's two daughters, the younger sister entered the palace and became the current Consort Hu, while the older sister married Liu Yi."

"Boom!"

Jiang Yu put down her wine glass, stood up, and said with a smile:
"Oh dear, I'll go take a look then, and maybe I can get to know this Zuo Sima."

It wouldn't be bad to experience being a spoiled brat for once!

"Young Master really dotes on Sister Nongyu,"

Zi Nu was all too familiar with this scene—a drama of jealousy and rivalry over a woman.

Having grown accustomed to Zi Nu's teasing, Nong Yu ignored it and said to Jiang Yu:

“Young master, this is a matter of Zilan Pavilion. How could we trouble you, lest Nongyu tarnish your reputation?”

Regardless of whether Jiang Yu stands up for her or not, once this matter gets out, it will only be associated with jealousy and rivalry among courtesans, which is not a good reputation.

"Don't worry, Miss Nongyu. It's just Liu Yi; it's nothing serious."

Aside from being somewhat playful, Jiang Yu was also revisiting the foreshadowing he had given Nongyu about the Fire Rain Agate.

"Little sister, you're already worried? Don't worry, young master is even more capable than you think."

Zi Nu covered her mouth and chuckled, then, led by a maid, walked towards Liu Yi's private room.

On the way!

"Young master, you should take it easy. This little shop doesn't want to close down tomorrow."

Zi Nu knew that Jiang Yu couldn't simply be standing up for Nong Yu; there must be a deeper meaning behind it.

Given Jiang Yu's character, it's not impossible that Zilanxuan will close down because of this incident.

"Don't worry, Miss Zi Nu, our business isn't finished yet."

Just when the business was about to start making money, if Zilanxuan were to fail at this point, Jiang Yu's money-making plan would be greatly delayed.
