Chapter 149. Taboo(1/2)
After helping out in the kitchen, the boy and everyone in the kitchen had a sumptuous lunch.
In the afternoon, Lan Ji seemed to have nothing to do. She gave the boy a haircut herself, then asked him to take a bath, and then took the boy to a tailor shop to order a suit of clothes.
When the boy walked to the fitting mirror in the store and saw the person in the mirror, he was surprised.
He is no longer a messy hedgehog, but has simple and neat short hair with a few bangs on his forehead. He is wearing a black robe with long hem and narrow sleeves. Coupled with the young man's slightly melancholy and hesitant expression, he really looks like a gentle and elegant noble son.
.
The young man admitted that from an objective perspective, the man in the mirror was quite handsome.
"Is it completely new?"
Lan Ji stood behind the boy, putting one hand on his shoulder and touching the top of his head with the other, with a gentle smile on her face.
"Indeed, you can't tell at all that this is me."
Lanji's delicate palms were rubbing the boy's head with gentle force. The boy didn't like being treated as a child, but the current feeling was indeed not unpleasant either.
"Are you satisfied?" Lanji asked.
"Of course I'm satisfied."
Is this still dissatisfying? The young man couldn't think of any other answer.
"That's great. It's worth my busy afternoon."
Lan Ji smiled happily and straightened out the boy's messy hairstyle.
"Speaking of which, Miss Lanji, you really know a lot of things!"
The boy sighed, the musical instrument in the morning was taught by Lan Ji, the pastry for lunch was made by Lan Ji, his hair was cut by Lan Ji herself in the afternoon, and although the clothes he was wearing were not made by Lan Ji,
She also selected it and had it altered by the tailor according to her wishes.
Can one person be so omnipotent?
It was really the first time for the boy to see him.
"I...for some reasons, I have been learning without stopping, and I have learned a lot of things without even realizing it."
Lan Ji's tone was a little low at this time, as if recalling that reason would make her mood worse.
"Ah, that's really amazing. I have nothing to do and just want to go to bed."
Ever since, the young man wanted to change the topic.
"Of course I always have something going on, which prevents me from getting a good night's sleep and makes me feel extremely uncomfortable."
"Did you have a good sleep? I slept fairly well, but for a short period of time."
"How long do you sleep a day?"
"Three or four hours, right?"
Lan Ji gave an answer that surprised the young man. Logically speaking, a person can have sufficient energy by sleeping one-third of the time, but Lan Ji only had half of the rest time. This is not a good habit.
And looking at the meaning of Lan Ji's words, it seems that she has been maintaining this kind of lifestyle for a long time.
"Uh, um... aren't you tired?"
It was hard for the young man to imagine how such a weak woman could hold on.
"It's fine, don't worry about me."
Lan Ji smiled again. She took the boy to the counter to check out, and then returned to Huansha Spring together.
"Who is this kid?"
"never seen it."
"It's strange, who's the young master? Miss Lanji actually received him personally."
...
Obviously, the young man's current appearance is almost equivalent to a change of appearance. The regular customers and prostitutes in the hall have obviously seen him, but none of them recognized him now.
"Haha, it looks like the effect is very good."
Lan Ji was also very satisfied with everyone's reaction. She led the boy to the upper floor and said:
"The following is the etiquette class, but the class will be held in my private room."
"ah?"
I was actually lucky enough to go to Lanji's boudoir?
This kind of treatment was something the young man never expected.
"What? Do you have any concerns?"
"No, no."
If you have any worries, just go.
The young man quickened his pace and followed closely behind Lan Ji.
The independent room on the top floor of the brothel is Lanji's living room. The young man was still daydreaming before entering. After entering, he found that there was a scene that he had never imagined.
In this large room, there are rows of bookshelves filled with books, many strange specimens of small animals, a spherical map and a high-power astronomical mirror... etc., if things were not placed very neatly,
It was neat and tidy, and the boy thought it was another divination parlor run by Mayena.
This kind of room, which almost only belongs to scholars, is actually Lan Ji's living room. It is indeed something that the young man has never thought of.
"Why are you surprised?"
"Uh, yes, a little bit."
In fact, more than a little bit, the appearance here was completely beyond my expectation.
The young man put his hand on the round map and looked at the huge Pomta continent above and several small pieces of land around it. The Iron Feather City where he was now was just a very small one on the Pomta continent.
Point, even the Noah Empire and the entire human territory are not a vast area on this continent.
The young man couldn't help but lament his own insignificance in this world. The huge map in front of him made him understand why many people admired explorers who claimed to have traveled around the world.
Traveling around this world may be a really great thing.
Lanji walked to the window and opened the curtains to make the dark room brighter. At the same time, she explained to the boy: "I think learning new knowledge is a wonderful thing, and I got so many gadgets without knowing it."
"Speaking of which, what is the relationship between Mayena and you?"
The boy was very curious. Mayena and Lan Ji had a close relationship. They must have known each other for many years.
Lan Ji paused for a moment and then said: "She is my sister. Of course she can also be said to be my mentor, right? I ask her for advice on many things."
Is that so? The young man understood. No wonder he felt that the layout of this room was very similar to Mayena's divination parlor. It turned out that there was such a relationship between them.
"Miss Lanji, are you always in this room?"
"Pretty much, except for making a day's worth of pastries and doing a little bit of business in the brothel, I spent the rest of the time in this room."
Lan Ji talked about her daily life. Of course, the "a little" in her words meant how much workload the young man could not estimate.
"By the way, do you think I'm busy every day?"
"Uh? No?"
"No, it's not. Katniss is in charge of the front of the house, Scarlett is in charge of the kitchen, and other specific tasks are also done by others. I actually have a lot of free time."
"I see, so you spend the rest of your time studying? What do you mainly study?"
After all, Lan Ji is the owner of the brothel, and she really doesn’t need to do the entire business herself. I’m more curious about how broad Lan Ji’s knowledge is than this boy. I always feel that she should know more than that in many aspects.
There are more high elves of any age.
"The content I study is very complicated. If you want to know, you can look at the books on the bookshelf. I have basically read them all."
"Uh, let me take a look..."
The young man went to the bookshelf to look at the titles of the books, and was immediately dizzy by the dazzling titles.
""Aesthetics", "Getting Started to Mastering Makeup", "Cake Cooking", "The Relationship between Wealth and Business Acumen", "Astronomy and Astrology", "Pompei Pharmacology"..."
The young man read these various book titles. Just looking at the titles made him feel dizzy. These books were different from Mayena's collection of books. Mayena's collection of books were all historical classics, biographies and legends, while Lan Ji's
The books are basically reference books that directly teach skills, and they are all more theoretical.
Even if you throw these books to yourself, you may not be able to finish them even if you bite the bullet.
""Noah's Customs and Etiquette", "Emotional Management"...um, and this book is called..."
Bed what?
The characters were too small and the boy couldn't read them clearly at first glance.
"Well, okay, it's time to teach you basic etiquette."
However, Lanji immediately put away the thin book, coughed dryly, and returned to the topic.
"Okay, how to get here?"
"Catch this."
