It might not only be that he has seen it, but also performed in it.
The Cold Fairy doesn’t seem to like watching the plays she has acted in.
But it’s fine, Little Ke claims to have watched hundreds of films, and he has an impressive collection—not referring to his hard drives and browsing history.
“Ice Chunk prefers watching anime and isn’t too interested in movies.”
“She watched ‘5 Centimeters per Second’ very seriously, enjoyed drinking cola, and eating potato chips…”
Ke Mo came out of the room with a mouthful of potato chips, the taste already fading.
But he wasn’t savoring the taste of the chips.
Just a short while ago, he happened to see Zhong Zhenyue and Xie Xuan, who were planning to open the door at the Wind Moon Small Residence, as they seemed to enjoy doing endlessly.
“Brother Ke, you just woke up. I saw no one was in your room earlier, so I thought you had gone to the Sword Furnace again.”
Zhong Zhenyue couldn’t help but be curious.
These past few days, he had been observing, and even after the Qianlong Conference ended, Brother Ke still went to the Sword Furnace every day, which made him feel overwhelmed and unable to tolerate his own laziness.
If it weren’t for the fact that the Wind Moon Small Residence made too much money.
“He isn’t only absent from his room some days.”
Xie Xuan chewed on a blade of grass.
Why does the bitterness that had faded seem to resurface in my heart again?
“Brother Ke, I must speak frankly. Even though you face beauty that no one can resist, you can’t keep falling into such decadence.”
Xie Xuan’s tone was full of emotion.
Ke Mo: “?”
Is this why you ab*se your authority and wash your feet several times a day?
“We’re just watching a movie.”
“What’s a movie?”
“Oh…”
Seeing the slightly pitiful look from Little Ke, Xie Xuan felt insulted.
Zhong Zhenyue didn’t understand, filled with curiosity.
So, as they walked out, Ke Mo took out some potato chips and said:
“It’s when two people watch plays or storybooks together, and they eat snacks like popcorn and chips.”
Ke Mo spoke lightly, looking upright.
As everyone knows, potato chips and popcorn easily make your fingers dirty.
But Ice Chunk’s hands wouldn’t get dirty.
If he gave the snacks to Ice Chunk, what should he eat then?!
Is that reasonable? I don’t care if it’s reasonable!
“Brother Ke got the top spot, but he eventually became slack,” Zhong Zhenyue sighed in relief.
His father had been sighing every day lately.
That sigh made him realize that comparing himself to others made him feel inferior, and seeing other younger talents excel made him angrier.
Lao Zhong felt this couldn’t continue.
“Brother Ke, how about I call you Uncle from now on, and you still call me brother? We’ll each handle our own.”
“Huh?”
Looking at Zhong Zhenyue seriously, Ke Mo wondered what genius idea was brewing in Lao Zhong’s head.
Even someone as brilliant as him couldn’t figure it out.
Xie Xuan smiled wickedly, with a grin harder to suppress than a pig at the New Year.
“Then Xiao Zhong wouldn’t call me uncle?”
Ke Mo thought for a moment and shook his head. “No, it’s reversed.”
“What?”
“Dumu and I cut chickens’ heads off, burned yellow paper, and swore brotherhood. Your master’s seniority might not be enough.”
“What?”
Seeing Xie Xuan looking confused, Ke Mo decided to temporarily bury the secret until spring, not telling Xie Zhuang. The thousand-mile journey of Xie Xuan started with a single step, but he didn’t know what was going on.
Otherwise, Xie Xuan would inevitably be beaten like a grandson.
If there was such a big difference in seniority, how could they be brothers?
—
“I should also count this as an investment, a thoughtful one. Why won’t they include it?”
Li Mo followed him onto the carriage.
“Brother Li, what are you doing here?”
“She is practicing her skills. I came here to check the shop with you all.”
Firstly, Little Li has absolutely no inappropriate thoughts; he is genuinely a gentleman this time.
The Wind Moon Small Residence is one of the sources of his collective power and investment returns.
Currently, he lacks both.
The Golden Hoop Bar is still stuck in the small world, unable to be pulled out.
He feels that if his physical strength increases one day and he wears golden chainmail, lotus silk cloud shoes, and phoenix wing purple gold crown, he might be able to wield the collective power.
Perhaps he could give it a try.
…
Wind Moon Small Residence.
On the third floor, a middle-aged man wearing half a mask and dressed like a merchant was the first to ascend the stairs.
Behind him were Luo Yexian and a noble-looking young man, wearing a qilin pendant and a high mountain hat, looking gentle and refined.
“Why has the Wind Moon Small Residence changed?”
The young man seemed dissatisfied.
“Master Song has long been studying in the Guozijian, oblivious to the outside world, so he may not know that the owner has changed, hence the new appearance.”
Xueliantang is being humble.
“Oh? It hasn’t been reported to the Ministry of Rites. I want to see if it complies with the rites.”
Originally, the Wind Moon Small Residence belonged to the Fourth Prince, but all brothels in the Imperial Capital were under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites.
In fact, initially, the Ministry of Rites took over the management of this place, placing the wives and daughters of officials who had been punished inside.
All brothels in the Imperial Capital had a common backer—the Ministry of Rites.
The Minister of Rites also surnamed Song.
“I heard it is quite proper, but it is too proper.”
Luo Yexian sighed.
Why not turn it into a mahjong parlor?
“Ultimately, it depends on what Master Song says. Please.”
Xueliantang led the way into the third floor.
They didn’t call any courtesans but ordered some pastries and wine.
Master Song was somewhat displeased: “Although my father values propriety, we are already here.”
I barely escaped the academy to indulge, am I here to eat with you?
Although my father is the Minister of Rites, whether you call them or not is up to you. I can refuse!
He had thought about it. If they didn’t change after three rounds, he would sternly state that a gentleman should adhere to propriety.
What’s the meaning of this now?
Xueliantang smiled. “Sir, please calm down. I invited the original courtesan of the Wind Moon Small Residence, who is currently getting ready.”
Master Song acquiesced. “We are old friends. Why didn’t you say so earlier? What is it this time?”
“The promotional effect of the Tianzun brand instant noodles was good, so I have a small suggestion.”
“Oh?”
“Look, the Qianlong Conference has the Qianlong Talents. But there is no conference for the Hundred Flowers Beauty. Why don’t we organize one?”
“This has never been done before and may not be appropriate…”
“Think about it, each of the Hundred Flowers Beauties is beautiful, stunning, and unparalleled. Especially the Cold Fairy, who is not yet eighteen, yet is said to be a celestial being, a goddess of the moon. Even the empress cannot compare…”
“Sigh…”
Master Song held his cup and leaned back slightly.
It seemed somewhat interesting.
Seeing this, Xueliantang and Luo Yexian exchanged glances, knowing that this matter was almost certain.
