I have a little bit of talent

The time spent in practice always passes quickly.

Fang Mu's soul's breakthrough seemed simple and didn't seem to take much time.

In fact, from absorbing the energy of heaven and earth to tempering the spirit with the three methods, and then to breaking through the stable state, one night passed in a flash.

When Fang Mu opened his eyes, he found that it was already bright outside.

In the past few days, Boss Xie and others also knew that Fang Mu would practice as a routine at night.

So usually no one came to disturb him in the morning, and Fang Mu had some peace and quiet.

As soon as he stepped out of the door, Fang Mu saw Boss Xie and his family strolling in the backyard.

Xie Cheng was waving a wooden sword in his hand with smooth movements that looked quite impressive.

Boss Xie and Mrs. Xie were talking to each other, but their eyes were always fixed on their son's movements with a loving look on their faces.

"Thank you, brother, sister-in-law, why do you have time to walk around in the backyard today?"

Seeing that the family of three were all there, Fang Mu was a little confused.

At this time, it has only been a week since Boss Xie and his companions returned to Huaicheng. During this time, Boss Xie has been busy selling the goods he brought back. Apart from helping Fang Mu and others inquire about the affairs of the Cangyun Chamber of Commerce, he has rarely stayed at home.

Mrs. Xie is also extremely busy on weekdays. Not only does she have to deal with all the big and small matters in Tongbao Trading Company, but she also has to manage the huge Xie family. She is even personally responsible for Xie Cheng's daily homework.

So if Fang Mu is free during this period, he will take the initiative to take Xie Cheng out to play.

When Mr. and Mrs. Xie heard Fang Mu's voice, they quickly turned around and found that Fang Mu was watching the three people not far behind them.

"Brother Fang, get up. You didn't get up as early as before."

Boss Xie smiled and said:

"I finally processed the last batch of goods yesterday, so I have completely free time today.

"Besides, I haven't been with Cheng'er for a few days, so I have to make up for it from now on."

"Once the goods are delivered, the company will not be so busy and I can have more free time." Mrs. Xie was also very happy at this time.

After all, isn't it the money we earn every day so that we can spend more time with our family in the future?

The two looked at each other, and their eyes seemed to be able to pull out threads.

Fang Mu didn't expect that just by asking a random question he would be fed a mouthful of dog food.

He rolled his eyes and came up with a good idea.

"Brother Xie, I went to Cuixiang Pavilion yesterday. There is something I want to ask you."

When they heard the name of Cuixiang Pavilion, the expressions of the couple who were originally in love with each other changed.

However, Boss Xie's expression became a little more alert. Mrs. Xie looked at Boss Xie with a bad look and a slightly suspicious expression.

"Brother Fang, you are joking. I, Xie, am a serious person. I have never been to Cuixiang Pavilion, so how can I know what is going on there?"

Boss Xie said this in a very decisive tone, and his speech speed was three times faster than usual, for fear that if he explained too slowly, it would arouse Mrs. Xie's suspicion.

"Oh, is that true?" Mrs. Xie obviously didn't believe it, and just said:

"Then why don't we ask Boss Zhou, Boss Chen and others whether they have been to Cuixiang Pavilion together?"

When Boss Xie heard this, his face darkened and he could only smile bitterly and explain.

"I only went there for social events a few times, and we just drank and talked about business, and there was absolutely no other behavior.

"Madam, you know me well, how dare I do that!"

"Humph, I guess you don't have the guts to do anything."

Seeing that her husband had admitted his mistake and confessed, Mrs. Xie did not ask any more questions and her expression finally looked a little better.

Fang Mu saw that he had achieved his goal. The couple finally stopped showing off their affection in front of him and started talking about business.

"Boss Xie, since you've been there a few times, do you know who the owner of Cuixiang Pavilion is?"

"The boss of Cuixiang Pavilion?"

Boss Xie obviously didn't expect Fang Mu to ask this. He thought for a moment and said:

"I have lived in Huai City for decades. If it were somewhere else, I might know something. But I don't know much about Cuixiang Pavilion."

"Thank you, brother. It's okay. I'm just a little curious."

“The previous owner of Cuixiang Pavilion was from Huaicheng. We merchants all know something about it, and it’s no secret.

“It’s just that the Cuixiang Pavilion changed hands ten years ago, and the owner became a woman named Yunniang.

"This Yunniang is not from Huaicheng. She is said to be from Dushancheng on the border of Yanzhou. She is quite mysterious and rarely shows up. We know very little about her.

“However, as a woman in charge of such a large brothel business, there have been no mistakes for many years, and there has been no obstruction from other forces in Huaicheng. It can be seen that Yun Niang is not an ordinary person.

"Brother Fang, I heard that Yun Niang is very beautiful, but she is quite old. After all, you are still young, or..."

Boss Xie didn't say anything extra. It was obvious that he felt that Fang Mu was still a young man, and although he had great cultivation, his experience was not that much. He was probably attracted to Yun Niang.

Fang Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry when hearing this. He just thought that Boss Xie's imagination was really outstanding. He could think of so many things just by asking.

"Brother, you are joking. I have never seen this Yun Niang before.

"It's just that when I went to Cuixiang Pavilion yesterday, I happened to see Qin Qianqian playing the piano. I heard from the spectators that she was invited by the owner of Cuixiang Pavilion, so I asked this question."

When these words came out, not only Boss Xie, but even Mrs. Xie, who originally looked unhappy, opened her mouth wide. Boss Xie hurriedly asked:

"Qin Qianqian? But is she the master Qin who is both an excellent singer and an accomplished artist?"

“They said it seemed to be so.”

"Oh, I've been so busy these past few days that I didn't even receive any messages. I missed Mr. Qin playing the piano. What a pity."

Fang Mu knew that Qin Qianqian might be quite famous, but he didn't expect her to be so famous.

Even Mrs. Xie, who despised brothels, was his fan, which shows how influential he was.

Mrs. Xie was excited. She knew that Fang Mu had listened to Qin Qianqian playing the piano in Cuixiang Pavilion yesterday, and she was very envious.

“My benefactor, you may not know that although the Qin family often plays the zither and performs in the brothel, they have always been chaste and are not comparable to ordinary prostitutes.

"He created many songs, all for women like us, praising the merits of women in our Great Zhou and opposing the harsh criticism of women by the secular world.

"That's why all the women in Yanzhou are proud of it."

"I see!" Fang Mu finally understood why even Madam Xie respected him so much.

It turns out that Qin Qianqian is not just a celebrity, but also a representative of women's rights in Yanzhou.

Although the Great Zhou Kingdom was not harsh on women, the status of women was indeed much lower than that of men. A public figure who could speak for women, even if he was a prostitute, would certainly have a high status in the hearts of other women.

"I didn't expect this woman, who looks good and has a good temperament, to be able to do such a thing. She is quite ambitious."

Fang Mu thought of Qin Qianqian's extremely cold and aloof temperament, which made people stay away from her, and he felt secretly suspicious.

"Being able to use divine thoughts to move people's emotions is indeed suitable for this kind of thing. People who engage in art are not simple."
