Zhuang Renquan saw that the more Qi Shaorong talked the more outrageous he became and couldn't help but clear his throat as he said, "Ghost Doctor gexia, could we start talking about more proper business."
Qi Shaorong nodded and agreed, "Of course, as you wish. Third Master Zhuang, when are you going to pay the remaining cost?"
Zhuang Renquan, "…"
Zhuang Hao pushed open the door and walked in when he said, "Third Uncle, why didn't you ask me to come as well if you are coming to visit Ghost Doctor qianbei."
Qi Shaorong tilted his head as he sized up Zhuang Hao and with a smile that's not like a smile said, "Young Master Zhuang, you've been here for a while now?"
"No, I've just arrived," said Zhuang Hao.
"Oh, really? So Young Master Zhuang just arrived," Qi Shaorong coldly smiled with a look that said 'I don't believe you.'
Zhuang Qian fidgeted about in the chair and didn't look very comfortable.
Qi Shaorong looked at Zhuang Qian and asked, "Is the chair uncomfortable?"
Zhuang Qian hurriedly waved his hand and replied, "No, no, it's very comfortable, no problem at all."
"Really? I would have thought there were nails on the chair," said Qi Shaorong
Zhuang Qian, "……"
"This should be Ghost Doctor qianbei's first time in the Imperial Capital. Why don't you let me act as the host for a bit and bring Ghost Doctor qianbei around to play for a while," said Zhuang Hao.
Qi Shaorong nodded and said, "Sure! I'll have to thank Young Master Zhuang for the trouble."
"Where does Ghost Doctor qianbei want to go?" Zhuang Hao asked.
"Actually, I am very interested in the places where the Imperial Capital beauties gather. Why don't we go to the number two place in the Imperial Capital that has the most beauties."
"There are many places in the Imperial Capital were there are many beauties. It's hard to say which has the second most," Zhuang Hao scrunched up his eyebrows.
Qi Shaorong looked at Zhuang Hao and shook his head. He heavily sighed as he said, "Young Master Zhuang, you've really lived so purely in the Imperial Capital for so long. Everybody knows, the number one place with beauties in the Imperial Capital is the Imperial Palace; the monarch has countless harem beauties. As for the number two——the pleasure houses!"
Zhuang Hao, "……"
Zhuang Qian, "……"
Zhuang Renquan lightly coughed twice. Qi Shaorong looked at Zhuang Renquan and said, "Could it be that Third Master also wants to go? You're still recovering from an illness and need to rest. It's better not to go to that kind of place."
Zhuang Renquan, "…I didn't want to go. I just think that it's not very good to go to that kind of place."
Qi Shaorong swept a glance at Zhuang Hao and said, "For Young Master Zhuang to go, it really isn't good. Other people would go to that place to take advantage of the others, but if Young Master Hao runs over there, one really wouldn't know who is taking advantage of who."
Zhuang Qian, "…"
Zhuang Hao took a deep breath and said, "If Ghost Doctor gexia wants to go, then I ought to keep you company."
"Oh, Young Master Hao agrees?"
"Isn't it just a pleasure house, it's not like it's any big deal," said Zhuang Hao.
Qi Shaorong grinned and said, "It is no big deal, however Young Master Hao is like an innocent and pure little boy. For Young Master Hao to agree so easily made me felt it was somewhat unexpected."
Zhuang Qian's pair of eyes brightened and blurted out, "I also want to go!"
Zhuang Hao casted a sideway glance at Zhuang Qian and a bit unhappily said, "How is everything about you."
Zhuang Qian was dissatisfied as he pouted, "Dage, you can't favour one and discriminate against the other ah!"
Zhuang Hao, "…"
Qi Shaorong stood up and said, "Let's go."
Qi Shaorong looked over at Zhuang Renquan, Zhuang Renquan also stood up and said, "Please don't mind me, you two go play. Young people should go play outside every so often and see the world."
Qi Shaorong smile and said, "many thanks, Third Master."
Zhuang Qian followed at Qi Shaorong's side and was somewhat excitedly asked, "Ghost Doctor qianbei, we're really going to go to a pleasure house?"
Qi Shaorong grinned as he teased him, "Yes ah! What, afraid now?"
Zhuang Qian choked for a moment then exclaimed, "What is there to be afraid of! My courage isn't that small!"
"That's it! If men don't walk around the pleasure houses at least once, then you're really being a man in vain."
"Dage doesn't go to pleasure houses nor does he let me go there."
"What a foolish boy. Your big brother must have secretly went and simply hid it from you. I have seen many men like your big brother," Qi Shaorong folded his arms and airily said.
Qi Shaorong faced Zhuang Hao and asked: "Young Master Hao, have you been to a pleasure house before ah!"
"No."
"You can tell just by one look that he's an unhonest scoundrel. Your brother is already at this age, how could he have not been to a pleasure house?" Qi Shaorong turned towards Zhuang Qian with his face grinning from ear to ear.
Zhuang Qian rubbed his nose, "If I may so bold to ask, Ghost Doctor-qianbei, how old are you? You seem to be very knowledgeable about this ah!"
"I… I'm almost seventy already," Qi Shaorong answered without giving it much thought.
"That's very old!" Zhuang Qian exclaimed.
Qi Shaorong nodded his head, "That's right ah! Old enough to be your father."
Zhuang Qian, "…"
Zhuang Qian peeked over at Zhuang Hao, seeing that the other's face was still calm and unhurried, he gulped and continued, "You really do not look like you are seventy years old."
"Who said I am? I'm forever eighteen," said Qi Shaorong.
