Finest Servant

Chapter 70

Chapter 70 Whos Helping Whom to Redeem? (Part 1)

Drawing from his experiences in his previous life, Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "There's nothing to it but to be bold, observant, and thick-skinned. That's my three-word mantra."

"Bold, observant, and thick-skinned?" Luo Yuan furrowed his eyebrows, "What does that mean? Brother Lin, could you elaborate?"

"Being bold, as the name suggests, means to be courageous. If you fancy a young lady, you should bravely strike up a conversation with her. It's better to make a mistake than to let an opportunity pass."

Better to make a mistake than to miss an opportunity? That was a ruthless strategy. Both Luo Yuan and Young Master Guo gave a thumbs up.

"Being observant involves paying attention to the girl's emotions. Notice when she's happy or upset, remember her birthday, know when her aunt comes to visit"

[Aunt comes to visit means having a period]

Seeing the puzzled looks on their faces, Lin San quickly explained, "Oh, by 'aunt,' I mean a relative from her family. Anyway, depending on the situation, you should present yourself differently. Be gentle, domineering, or wretched to stir up her dominating, maternal, and soft instincts. Make her feel your presence when you're around and miss you when you're not."

This was quite profound, and it was a bit too much for the two of them to comprehend. Such things could only be understood through experience, and Lin San couldn't explain it any clearer.

"As for being thick-skinned, it goes without saying. When pursuing a girl, never give up easily when faced with setbacks. Keep going, fight harder, until she's moved by your persistence."

After Lin San finished speaking in one breath, Luo Yuan and Guo Wuchang were left stunned. Such methods of pursuing girls were indeed unthinkable, but upon further reflection, they made a lot of sense.

Lin San continued to chat with Luo Yuan and found they had a lot in common. Although Luo Yuan came from a bureaucratic family, he didn't have the usual arrogance. He was young, but his conversation was refined, and his knowledge was extensive, spanning from astronomy to geography. He was fond of all kinds of oddities. His indulgence in pleasure was just a youthful inclination, driven by his rivalry with Cheng Ruinian.

Luo Yuan's interests resonated with Lin San, who was a connoisseur in these areas. When Lin San talked about astronomy, geography, and various strange matters, Luo Yuan was not only unfamiliar with them, but he hadn't even heard of them.

In a short while, Luo Yuan was bombarding Lin San with questions, growing more and more amazed and admiring of Lin San with every response. Even Young Master Guo, attracted by all the novel topics, occasionally chimed in with questions. The three of them were engaged in a lively chat, and time flew by quickly.

After a while, a maid came up to Guo Wuchang and said, "Master Guo, my Young Miss requests your presence."

Guo Wuchang, engrossed in Lin San's stories, was a bit taken aback by this and stammered, "Who's your Young Miss?"

Lin San, defeated by Guo Wuchang's oblivion, quickly stood up and said, "Please tell Miss Qin that my Young Master will be there shortly."

"Right, right," Guo Wuchang finally remembered his appointment with Miss Qin, and quickly got up, "My dear lady, I'll follow you right away."

Lin San gave a wry smile at Guo Wuchang's haste, thinking it was quite unbecoming for a man. He wondered when Guo Wuchang would ever mature.

The maid then said, "My Young Miss instructed me to ask Young Master Lin and Young Master Guo to accompany her. She said that she wants to properly express her gratitude for your valuable advice today."

Remembering that enchanting look of the young miss, Lin Wanrong felt his heart skip a beat. He put on a smile and said, "My dear miss, I shall pass. All the knowledge I shared comes from my Young Master, who is much more learned than I am."

The maid giggled and said, "My Young Miss said that if Young Master Lin doesn't come, she will pack her things and join him tonight."

"What" Lin San, Young Master Guo, and Luo Yuan all stood up in shock, their mouths wide enough to fit a large egg.

The girl is trying to trick me, was Lin Wanrong's first thought. If others heard this, they would surely gang up and kill him.

To clear his involvement, Lin Wanrong quickly said, "Miss Qin loves to joke. Since she insists on inviting me, it would be rude not to go. Young Master, shall we go together?"

Although he would love to face Miss Qin alone, Guo Wuchang knew his limits. He feared that Miss Qin would see through him and kick him out in no time. Having Lin San along would naturally make him feel more at ease. So he nodded and said, "Since Miss Qin has kindly invited us, Lin San, you should come with me."

Luo Yuan gave Lin San a suggestive look and smirked, "In that case, Brother Lin, Brother Guo, you can go at ease. I will cover for you, ha-ha."

Luo Yuan, whom they had just met, was quite decent. Lin San felt a certain affinity with him and laughed, "Then, Brother Luo, we will have a more detailed discussion when we have time."

Luo Yuan bowed his fist and said, "Brother Lin is talented. I will definitely visit you in the future."

I'm just a lowly servant, where are you going to visit me? Lin Wanrong thought amusedly. This Luo Yuan is quite interesting.

Lin Wanrong and Young Master Guo followed the maid, crossing the main hall and heading upstairs.

The men in the hall knew that these two were favored by Miss Qin and were going to visit her. Perhaps one of them would even become the favored guest of this pure and elegant courtesan. They were filled with envy.

Cheng Ruinian watched their retreating figures, frustrated. However, his rival Luo Yuan seemed to have made friends with them, leaving him with no immediate solution.

"What shall we do, Miss?" Xiu He asked her master.

The beautiful young master bit her lip and said, "Follow them, let's find out what Miss Qin is up to."

Lin San and Young Master Guo followed the maid into a large room on the second floor. The room was clean and serene, with the scent of sandalwood wafting through the air, invigorating the spirit.

There were calligraphies and paintings hanging on the wall. Lin Wanrong couldn't tell who the authors were, but Young Master Guo was taken aback. These were the works of renowned scholars of their time. Although he seldom studied, he still recognized the names. He knew that Miss Qin was famous for her beauty, but he hadn't expected her to have connections with so many distinguished people. Young Master Guo felt somewhat inferior.

Seeing Young Master Guo's dejected expression, Lin San hurriedly asked, "Young Master, what's the matter?"

Young Master Guo sighed and said, "These calligraphies and paintings are made by the most famous artists of our time. The gap between Miss Qin and me is truly vast."

Lin San thought, At least he has some self-awareness. However, Young Master Guo had been kind to him, so he wouldn't kick him while he was down. He smiled and said, "Young Master, people have different destinies. There's no need to envy them. Although this room is full of famous paintings, I don't see Miss Qin attaching great importance to them. I guess her interactions with these people are rather superficial. Knowing everyone in the world, but not having a single close friend, Miss Qin is actually quite pitiful."

This conversation highlighted the difference between Young Master Guo and Lin Wanrong. Facing the same situation and both not understanding calligraphy and painting, Young Master Guo felt self-pity, while Lin Wanrong managed to perceive the host's mindset.

After sitting in the room for a while, a maid came and invited Young Master Guo, saying, "Master Guo, please follow me."

Lin Wanrong also wanted to follow, but the maid stopped him, saying, "My young miss asked Young Master Lin to wait here for a while."

Although Lin Wanrong's original intention was to facilitate for Young Master Guo, he felt somewhat disgruntled when Miss Qin showed no respect. He thought, What's she showing off for? I will make her sing "Eighteen Touches" later.

When Young Master Guo was around, they could chat. But now that he was gone, Lin Wanrong felt a bit bored sitting alone.

After sipping some of the fragrant pine nut tea served by the maid, he was about to move around when he heard a woman's voice from inside the room, "Knowing everyone in the world, yet having no close friends. Young Master Lin, is this how you see me?"

The bead curtain was lifted, and a graceful figure walked out from the inner room. It was the stunningly beautiful Miss Qin.

She seemed to have just taken a bath, her hair hanging loosely, her face blushed, her eyes twinkling with a hint of a smile, and a faint jasmine fragrance emanating from her body. This simple and elegant appearance made her beauty even more extraordinary.

"So, the young miss was hiding in the room listening to me talk. I'm really flattered." Lin Wanrong said with a smile.

"I wasn't eavesdropping. I live in this room, and Young Master Lin spoke a bit too loud, so I happened to hear that sentence," Miss Qin replied with a charming laugh.

"So, can I be considered as a guest in Miss Qin's boudoir then?" Lin Wanrong joked.

"Only just barely," Miss Qin's smile became even more radiant.

So, it turned out that this room was Miss Qin's private chamber. No wonder the outer room was decorated so elegantly.

Suddenly, Lin Wanrong remembered something. The maid had led Young Master Guo out earlier, presumably not to see Miss Qin. Damn, if Young Master Guo isn't careful, those maids might gang up on him.

Miss Qin's eyes sparkled, as if she knew what he was thinking. She covered her lips and giggled, "You're quite a smooth talker, but you also have some loyalty. Don't worry, your Young Master will be well taken care of."

Since she said so, Lin Wanrong felt relieved and laughed, "He is my Young Master, of course I should care. But Miss Qin, why did you come to me instead of seeing my Young Master?"

Miss Qin gave him a glance and snorted, "Hmph, don't think I don't know. Those words were all fabricated by you, trying to tarnish Young Master Guo. I won't fall for your tricks."

She frowned slightly, looking a bit annoyed but also amused, like an innocent young girl who was endearing. From these few sentences, it was hard to tell which were true and which were false.

Lin Wanrong wasn't fooled by her. He laughed, "Miss Qin, don't mind who said it, just tell me whether the words were right or not."

Miss Qin said with a fit of feigned anger, "There's some truth in it, but how could I admit it in front of so many people? I'm a lady after all."

Miss Qin pouted, her beautiful eyes glanced slightly, her face showing a hint of annoyance and shyness, truly a captivating beauty.

Lin Wanrong knew himself well. Miss Qin's act in front of him wasn't because she had taken a liking to him, but she must have some kind of plan. Recognizing this, Lin Wanrong felt no apprehension and laughed, "Let's put all that aside. Miss Qin, have you learned the little tune I wanted to hear?"
