Qi Shaorong was watching full of interest at Qi Shaofu who was sitting besides Qi Shaokang. Qi Shaokang was a handsome guy, so in contrast, Qi Shaofu looked rather ordinary. With a round face, from the moment they sat down, Qi Shaorong never once saw Qi Shaofu's mouth stop moving. You could tell with one look that he wasn't the eloquent kind.

"Third Young Master Qi really has a good appet.i.te."

When Qi Shaofu heard Qi Shaorong's words, he awkwardly wiped his mouth, saying, "I, I didn't eat breakfast……"

Qi Shaorong, "……" You didn't eat breakfast, but instead ran over to an entertainment house to eat.

"You must be Ghost Doctor qianbei? I have an aunt that admires you very much. She was extremely excited when she heard you were coming!" Qi Shaofu was very eager as he said this.

Qi Shaorong slightly smiled, "Oh really? I'm honored."

"Ghost Doctor qianbei, please try these pastries from Luo Hua Pavilion, the pastries from Luo Hua Pavilion are a must have," offered Qi Shaofu.

"Thank you."

Zhuang Hao looked over at Qi Shaofu and said, "Shaofu, now that I look closely, you don't seem to have made any progress!"

Qi Shaofu awkwardly scratched his head, then said, "Don't worry, either way there would be someone will build me a foundation."

Zhuang Hao frowned and said disapprovingly, "You can't let yourself degenerate like this just because that will be someone who builds a foundation for you ah!"

Qi Shaofu knitted his brows and pouted, "Hao ge, can you not scold me every time you see me? Oh yeah, I never thought that you would also come to this kind of place Hao ge. You're in luck today Hao ge, that number one qin player in the world, Bi Liuyun, from Luo Hua Pavilion will be coming out to play a song today. You look at all these people here, most of them came today for Bi Liuyun."

Zhuang Hao nodded, finally comprehended the situation, "So it was like that, I was wondering why there were so many people here today."

Qi Shaorong looked Qi Shaofu up and down, then chimed in, "Third Young Master Qi, you seemed to be a bit overweight."

Qi Shaofu scratched his head again and hesitantly asked, "Ghost Doctor qianbei, are you persuading me to do liposuction?"

"No need, two cups of detoxifying tea will do," said Qi Shaorong.

"I heard that Ghost Doctor qianbei's fees are very high?" Qi Shaofu carefully asked.

Qi Shaorong shook his head, "It's not that high. Two detoxifying tea, two thousand gold coins."

Qi Shaofu's face turned a bit awkward, "My pocket money is only two hundred gold coins each month."

"Oh, so it's like that! Then you should properly save your money, but Qi family is actually one of the four major families ah, your pocket money is so pitiful," Qi Shaorong tsked.

Qi Shaofu awkwardly rubbed his nose and said, "The Qi family distribute the pocket money base on performances."

Qi Shaorong nodded in full understanding and comforted him, "Don't worry, there's someone who will build you a foundation."

Qi Shaofu, "……"

Qi Shaofu frowned and spoke, "I thought that qianbei is supposed to say you will give me a discount?"

"You can say that, but most have never heard of my nickname," said Qi Shaorong.

Qi Shaofu somewhat curiously asked, "What nickname?"

"Wants money to death."

Zhuang Qian suddenly slightly spurted before quickly gulping down his tea.

The whole table was silent, for a time it seemed like the only sound was coming from Zhuang Qian drinking water which sounded abnormally clear.

Zhuang Qian couldn't help but feel a bit embarra.s.sed, however, at this time, a faintly discernible sound of the qin rang out in Luo Hua Pavilion, and a moon white gauze veil was released down. After the veil was down, a man dressed in white came out.

The appearance of Bi Liuyun finally saved Zhuang Qian from his embarra.s.sment.

A sound that could move people flowed out from Bi Liuyun's fingertips.

Qi Shaorong held his chin as he praised, "Bi Liuyun really is a great beauty ah!"

Zhuang Hao smiled and explained, "Bi Liuyun appeared three years ago here in Luo Hua Pavilion. When he came, Luo Hua Pavilion couldn't even be considered as one of the top ten entertainment houses in the capital. But after he came, he started rehearsing new dances and trained new people making Luo Hua Pavilion's ranking rise rapidly. There are some that suspect that there's some kind of relations.h.i.+p between him and the owner of Allure Cosmetics."

Allure Cosmetics was a cosmetic store that appeared five years ago. This cosmetic store rapidly expanded within those five years and opened up countless branches, attracting countless customers.

Allure Cosmetics would sell a limited edition of 100 sets of high-end cosmetics every season valuing at 1,000 gold. Even with this many cosmetics being released, every time they come out it would result in those imperial consorts from the palace, princesses, n.o.ble ladies and young misses from the big clans quickly rus.h.i.+ng to s.n.a.t.c.h them up.

"Ghost Doctor-qianbei, do you know that while your fees are black, but Allure Cosmetics' owner is even more black-hearted than you?" Asked Qi Shaofu.

Qi Shaorong quickly blinked, "Allure Cosmetics' owner is extremely black-hearted?"

"Of course! You don't know but he sells a box of ordinary facial masks for 200 gold coins. My monthly pocket money is just barely enough to buy a box. Now I'm afraid to go find any better ones, least that once I find a lover, I would be dragged to Allure Cosmetics," Qi Shaofu was full of resentment as he complained.

Qi Shaorong patted Qi Shaofu's shoulder and said, "You know, there are a lot of people in this world that don't like good things and would only like expensive things. Inexpensive things can not demonstrate their worth and status. Allure Cosmetics is undoubtedly the gospel of these people, so rather than Allure Cosmetics' owner complaining, he might as well make some more money."

Qi Shaokang creased his brows and agreed, "What Ghost Doctor-qianbei said is correct, actually many people are looking for the owner behind Allure Cosmetics for cooperation, however, this person is extremely mysterious and has never shown his face."

Qi Shaorong grinned, "Perhaps they're just fairly low-key."

"I say that he may be more afraid to death. After making that much black money, he would definitely always have nightmares at night," said Qi Shaofu.

Qin – More commonly known as guqin, it's a traditional Chinese seven-stringed zither. Qin was what it was traditionally called, but now, qin can also means any other kind of stringed instrument, so the gu [古 – ancient] was added for clarification  

Black – Black can mean an one of things in Chinese besides the color but I think exorbitant captures it nicely here

Black-hearted – Lacking in conscience

Of course! You don't know but he sells a box of ordinary facial masks for 200 gold coins. My monthly pocket money is just barely enough to buy a box. Now I'm afraid to go find any better ones, least that once I find a lover, I would be dragged to Allure Cosmetics

Aconyte:  this is also a bit awkward, I don't quite get it, why would he be dragged there once he finds a lover. Cause he's not handsome enough with the ordinary pack, so the lover will drag him there to buy better ones which he cannot afford?

…then it occurs to me that the lover most likely be female… *minds full of BL* so it might mean, he's afraid to find better ones because he's afraid the girl will also want it and he can't afford it?

Vian: Ah, no, you got it right. For anyone else confused,  he doesn't want to see the prices of the better ones because if he ever gets a lover, they will probably drag him out and have him buy it of them which he can't afford
