Chapter 75 - 64, Hongyi Lane
The embroidery building’s second floor had a total of twenty-one elegant booths, draped with white gossamer curtains cascading like waterfalls from the ceiling, surrounded by vases of freshly picked flowers, giving off an otherworldly aura.
However, the curtains of the other booths had been successively removed by the maids, only those of the Princely Heir’s three booths remained veiled.
The Princely Heir, Bai Li, Chen Ji, Liang Gou’er, and Liang Mao’er were in one booth; She Dengke, Liu Quxing, and other Jianghu figures occupied the next two.
Liang Gou’er didn’t mind; even though the curtains were not removed, maids continuously brought in food and drinks. Annoyed by the small wine cups of Qingyin Small Class, he simply switched to a bowl instead.
The Princely Heir rolled up his sleeves, sitting blankly within the veiled space, at the desk, holding his pen and racking his brains to write even a single line of poetry, to no avail.
He slowly looked towards Chen Ji, who still frowning was deeply asleep, clearly not to be counted on.
Then he slowly turned to Liang Gou’er and Liang Mao’er... forget it!
At last, he turned towards Bai Li, "Hey, Bai Li, could you write a poem? I remember you’ve written poetry before."
Bai Li replied awkwardly, "My writings were criticized as ’a complete mess’ by the masters, I can’t write, what I write would just be a joke."
Liang Gou’er chuckled and said, "This Qingyin Small Class just likes to be obscure; they clearly just want to make money but set up so many obstacles... But scholars really fall for it! If you ask me, Baiyi Lane is not as open as Hongyi Lane. That Miss Yan’er from the Golden Workshop can really hold her liquor; you drink a few cups, and she’ll match you which is truly refreshing."
Liang Mao’er grimaced, "Brother, do you really like her capacity for liquor? I wouldn’t expose you!"
