Chapter 56 I'm only Interest in My Wife's Music Dao
Until Gu Lan was led upstairs by Miss Lan, entering the small boudoir that thousands of men yearned for, the city's young masters, still holding silver bills, had not yet recovered from their petrified state!
Of course, there were also the dumbfounded Langzhou scholars sitting by the table!
After a long time!
They, quite tacitly, all sat down, sourly looking at the third-floor courtesan's boudoir, eyes full of envy, jealousy, and hatred!
"Brother, are you Langzhou scholars? The Gu Lan young master who just went up, is he the top scholar from your place?"
"Yes! I didn't expect that talent could really move a lady's heart... I really regret not studying well in the past; otherwise, it might have been me now!"
"Don't be too sad, gentlemen. Think about the young master from the Wu family; he's not better off than us, right?"
"I feel that Miss Fei might just be curious about this Gu Lan young master. We're all poor scholars; Miss Fei wouldn't really give herself to him!"
"Exactly! Let's wait; Master Gu will surely come down soon."
...
Dotted with the fragrance of flowers in the boudoir.
Gu Lan scrutinized the courtesan who had invited him upstairs.
Miss Fei'er had a plump figure, skin as fair as snow, delicate and small features. Between her frowns and smiles, there was a charming and flirtatious allure, especially as she looked at him with evident interest.
Such captivating eyes would likely be irresistible to any man.
However!
At this moment, Gu Lan's gaze towards her was not enthusiastic; in fact, it was somewhat indifferent!
Because the moment one entered the courtesan's room, whether or not anything happened, it was certain to attract resentment. This courtesan seemed to have not considered his feelings.
"Miss Fei, may I know the reason for summoning me?"
Gu Lan asked, looking into her eyes.
"Young master really knows how to jest. I am a woman from Dulcet Pavilion, and you are a guest here for flower wine. What other reason could there be?" Xiao Fei'er charmingly smiled while also assessing Gu Lan.
Although she flirted and teased young gentlemen with her mouth, in her heart, she was quite surprised.
This guy's indifferent gaze and this arrogant attitude... doesn't it seem like an act?
Genuine disinterest and a disdainful attitude, she could discern that.
"I don't have the money those young masters presented with the tokens."
Gu Lan chuckled.
"Huh?"
"... Is it that, in the eyes of young master, my pure body can be measured by vulgar gold and silver?"
As the conversation dropped, everyone looked at each other with bitter expressions.
"Oh no, is it possible that our city's number one beauty is really moved?"
"Didn't they say Gu Lan would come down soon?"
"No!! This question is too difficult; I can't solve it!"
...
Listening to "Tears of a Beauty," their hearts shattered into pieces.
Little did they know, Gu Lan in the boudoir was already drifting off into a drowsy slumber!
After a while, Xiao Fei'er finished playing the tune, a smile playing on her lips as she looked at Gu Lan.
She thought even if he wasn't attracted by appearances, he would surely be captivated by the stunning talent displayed in the melody...
However, to her surprise, he propped his head with his hand, eyes slightly closed, seemingly on the verge of dozing off at the table!
"Damn it!"
Xiao Fei'er was infuriated. Since the age of sixteen, when she became the capital's top musician, she had never suffered such humiliation! Not even from His Majesty's husband!
"Master Gu, my music..."
"Very well played!" Gu Lan interrupted her, smiling, and offered his evaluation, "Like flowing clouds and stopping at high mountains, very pleasant... um, very pleasant."
This tone was, of course, perfunctory. Xiao Fei'er clenched her fists at his response!
However, what she didn't know was that, as a transmigrator, Gu Lan had heard countless excellent tunes and songs in his previous life. Even in the realm of ancient qin melodies, this world couldn't compare! Just reciting "Guangling San" would immediately surpass her!
Perhaps he could even impress the courtesan as in novels, making her look at him differently, and eventually making waves of fame in the capital...
But Gu Lan didn't want to do that! He only wrote and showed off for his wife.
As for your musical skills, I'm not interested!
At this moment, Gu Lan gestured with his hand, "The music is done. Miss Fei, is there anything else?"
Implicitly stating, if there's nothing, I'll take my leave.
"Don't be in a hurry, Master!"
"Since Master has appreciated my musical skills, I've long admired your reputation as the top scholar. I would like to witness your literary talents. Do I have the honor?"
Xiao Fei'er's beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of anticipation.
Hmph, even if you truly have no interest in music, when it comes to your expertise, you can't keep hiding it, can you? I've stayed up all night reading your novels!
And she had heard from Liu Yexi.
Gu Lan could turn spoken words into poetry, and his writings were filled with timeless verses.
With such talent, which woman wouldn't be eager to witness it?
