They were thoroughly enjoying their tea over there; this tea room was no ordinary tea room.

There were storytellers, musicians, opera singers, and opera singers.

Moreover, this is not an ordinary tune; it is a pop song composed by Zhou Wanwan.

Now, not only in Xin'an County, but also in Yanmen Pass, wherever there are teahouses, you can hear these folk songs.

The storytellers' books were also a favorite in all the teahouses.

Because they are all the latest cultivation and fantasy novels.

Inside the teahouse, the recent War God's Tomb was also being discussed incessantly.

"Hey! Did you guys hear? Yesterday, a treasure chest was opened in the War God's Tomb, and it was full of gold and silver jewels."

"Really? What's inside?"

"I heard it's a pile of gold and silver jewelry, including hundreds of gold leaves, 500 taels of gold, several luminous pearls, and a bunch of Mingzhu and precious stones."

"Holy crap, who found it?"

"It was a poor scholar who found it in a corner; he was incredibly lucky."

People from all dynasties are very interested in the idea of getting rich overnight.

Everyone looked on with envy.

However, some people questioned, "I think this is fake. How could gold and silver jewelry be found?"

"Pshaw, it's true! That scholar lives in our academy, and he bought a house overnight. Look, isn't that him?"

Then a scholar dressed in a brocade robe walked in, and everyone looked at him.

Someone asked, "Zhang Sheng, did you really find gold and silver yesterday?"

Zhang Sheng smiled and nodded, saying:

"Yes, but it's not as exaggerated as people say, just a few hundred taels of gold."

Adding some jewelry, I bought just enough for a small house.

Everyone's faces lit up with anticipation. "So there really is something in the War God's Tomb!"

"I heard that someone found a precious sword inside. That sword could cut through iron like mud, and it sold for over ten thousand taels of silver at an auction."

"Really? Oh dear! I should have gone to the War God's Tomb and tried my luck too."

The first level of the War God's Tomb only had a small corner opened, yet quite a few things had already been found, which is similar to the setting in cultivation novels.

Everyone was incredibly excited.

The cousins whispered, "It seems this God of War God's Tomb 'War God's Tomb is something special! Let's go check it out tomorrow."

What's so interesting about a grave?

"What do you know? There are tons of good stuff in the War God's Tomb. If we find something, we'll be rich."

"Someone pried a few Mingzhu off the wall and became rich overnight!"

Greed gleamed in everyone's eyes.

Cui Wenyuan said calmly:

"How could there be such a good thing? This is simply a windfall."

I don't believe this kind of thing. Even if there really were such a thing, it's not certain that we'd get it.

"Since we have a day off tomorrow, let's take this opportunity to get to know each other better!"

How could those cousins possibly let Cui Wenyuan off the hook?

Cui Wenyuan said helplessly, "We'll see when the time comes!"

He actually didn't want to associate with these people at all.

These people don't have a very good reputation.

Unfortunately, they just happened to like surrounding Cui Wenyuan.

After finishing their tea, the cousins listened to a cultivation novel for a while, then took Cui Wenyuan to a brothel.

Cui Wenyuan frowned and said, "We are all scholars; is it inappropriate for us to come here?"

The cousins' expressions changed:

"What's wrong with it? It's just a brothel."

"It's just a place to drink tea, what kind of place did you expect it to be?"

"Wenyuan! You are a scholar too, you should participate in more occasions like this in the future."

"Since your aunt sent us to keep you company, we naturally want to broaden your horizons. Come on, let's go inside and take a look."

Cui Wenyuan looked at Zhou Wanwan, and the others jeered, "Why are you listening to him? Is this child yours?"

Cui Wenyuan quickly waved his hand and said, "He's only ten years old. Where would I get a child that big?"

Everyone laughed heartily and said, "Isn't that settled then? We'll just drink some wine, eat some food, watch some beautiful women dance, and relax a bit."

A group of people surrounded Cui Wenyuan, Cui Wenyuan could only be ushered inside.

Upon arriving at the brothel, the place instantly transformed, filled with the fragrance of cosmetics.

This brothel was incredibly grand, with a stunningly beautiful woman leading a group of dancers in a graceful and enchanting dance. Their long sleeves fluttered as they moved with captivating grace.

The cousins stared wide-eyed. "So beautiful! It's like a dream!"

One of my cousins swallowed hard and exclaimed, "So beautiful! Her figure is so graceful, her skin as white as snow, she's like a fairy!"

The madam inside looked at them and said, "Gentlemen, please come in. Would you like to go to a private room or the main hall?"

The cousins looked at Cui Wenyuan and said, "Of course we're going to a private room. How much is a private room here per night?"

The madam smiled and said, "It's not expensive, only ten taels of silver."

This price is acceptable.

Soon, they went to a private room, which naturally had a pleasant environment.

Moreover, this private room offers a view of the dance performance outside.

They had just sat down when they saw the Flying Apsaras Dance. A group of dancers flew down from the sky, and some of them gave the young men a flirtatious look.

My cousins' eyes widened in amazement. "Wow, that dancer is so beautiful! She has such a great figure, and such a slim waist!"

How much do the dancers cost per night here?

The madam smiled and said, "Our dancers here sell their art, not their bodies. As long as they're willing to go with you, they won't take a single penny."

The cousins were overjoyed, waving their hands and shouting, "Girl, look at me! Look at me!"

"Girl, I have money. Why don't you come with me? Be my concubine, and I'll give you a hundred taels a month."

The madam's lips twitched slightly. "The girls here charge twenty taels for a night's appearance. You're offering far too little!"

The cousins were dumbfounded.

The madam continued:

"However, you can give these girls tips or buy them jewelry."

"Look at all this jewelry; it's perfect as a gift for your beloved girl."

This is what live-streaming e-commerce is all about!

Cui Wenyuan, who was standing nearby, said:

"I wonder who owns this brothel, it's amazing!"

With these jewels displayed here, those young masters will definitely be unable to resist buying them!

It's just about constantly giving tips.

These cousins could no longer contain themselves and all went to buy jewelry.

"These two gold hairpins are for the girl in number 3; I think she's absolutely gorgeous."

"These beaded flowers are for girl number 1."

"I like the girl in number 18, so I'll give these jade bracelets to her!"

Then suddenly, fresh flowers were scattered throughout the hall, and someone announced, "This young master has purchased a pair of jade bracelets worth 1888 taels each as a gift for Miss Zhaozhao."

A young nobleman bought a set of jade jewelry worth 8,888 taels of silver and gave it to the girl he admired.

The entire brothel erupted in excitement.

The cousins exchanged glances and said, "Cui Wenyuan, you're already here, aren't you going to do something? Which girl have you taken a fancy to?"

Cui Wenyuan quickly waved his hand and said, "I'm only ten years old, I don't understand any of this."

"So what if I'm only ten? I was ten too, and I still frequented brothels and drank with women."

"You come here and you're not even willing to spend money? That's so stingy!"

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "I think that top courtesan is quite good; she directly bought 18,888 taels of top-quality Hotan mutton fat jade."

Cui Wenyuan stared in disbelief and said, "Master, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

We've spent too much money; won't that Old Madam Cui go crazy?

Zhou Wanwan said calmly, "You'd be crazy not to spend her money!"

Old Madam Cui's hands trembled as she looked at the bills. "He spent so much money on a night at a brothel! That spendthrift! Call him back right now!"

The old woman beside him comforted him:

He was about to go to the gambling den; once inside, all he had to do was sign and put his fingerprint on the document.

"When he loses, he'll have to pay it all back himself; that's when the real show begins."
