I'm a useless prince, so what if I know a little bit of chemistry?

"Me? Is that ok? Brother Lin, you'd better go by yourself."

Yang Jiannan lowered his head, feeling somewhat unconfident.

"Let's go, together."

Lin Fan smiled and was the first to board the boat.

"I... that's fine too. Thank you, Brother Lin."

Yang Jiannan made up his mind and followed Lin Fan onto the ship.

"Who is this person, and why did the Oiran take a fancy to him?"

"I don't know, maybe he's from someone's family."

"The guy next to him really got a great deal, and he's really the envy of others."

"Sir, please take me on board. I will work like a slave for you!"

"Sir, there is also me..."

The people on the shore were so envious and jealous that their teeth were about to break. Some even begged Lin Fan to take them on board.

However, Lin Fan turned a deaf ear to it.

Lin Fan also wanted to take a look at the true face of the courtesan and see how beautiful she was.

But more of the time, it's still just a show.

Just now in Yixiang Tower, the reason why Lin Fan suddenly made advances towards Qin Jiaojiao was that he sensed someone was watching him nearby.

Afterwards, Lin Fan redeemed Qin Jiaojiao, which could be considered a deal.

After leaving Yihe County, Lin Fan naturally let Qin Jiaojiao leave.

With Qin Jiaojiao's looks, it won't be a problem for her to find a good family.

The reason why Lin Fan brought Yang Jiannan along was simply because he thought this person was interesting, and Lin Fan could see that.

His family was not wealthy, and he was not a bad person, so he just did the favor.

After getting on the boat, Lin Fan seemed very calm and composed, as if he had entered his own backyard.

After all, although this place is gorgeous, Lin Fan grew up in the imperial city, and even if he is not welcomed, it is still much more gorgeous and wealthy than here.

Yang Jiannan didn't seem to be used to being on the boat. He looked very reserved and just followed Lin Fan silently.

"Gentlemen, please come in."

The woman in green smiled and walked inside with Lin Fan and Yang Jiannan.

Lin Fan patted Yang Jiannan on the shoulder and consoled him, "Brother Yang, why bother being so restrained?"

Yang Jiannan then relaxed a little, but he didn't know why, but he always felt inferior to others.

"Haha, Brother Yang, why do you have to be like this? If you have real talent and knowledge, you might become an official next year. After entering the officialdom, you can't be like this." Lin Fan continued.

"Become an official? Where can you become an official nowadays?"

Yang Jiannan smiled bitterly.

"I heard that Emperor Liang is planning to reopen the imperial examination. Wouldn't that be a good opportunity for Brother Yang to showcase his talents?" Lin Fan said to Yang Jiannan as they walked.

"Really?" Yang Jiannan suddenly raised his head and stared at Lin Fan.

"Well, how could I lie to you? Besides, I am from the capital, and someone in my family is an official, so I know some inside information."

Lin Fan smiled and made up a lie.

"But even so, I..." Yang Jiannan paused and did not continue.

"Take these for now. If you pass the exam someday, don't forget to treat me to a drink." Lin Fan stuffed a few taels of silver into Yang Jiannan's hands.

"Brother Lin, this is absolutely not allowed!

Yang Jiannan's face changed and he hurriedly wanted to return the silver to Lin Fan.

"Just take it. If your name is on the list, it's not too late to return it to me. I'll just consider it as lending it to you." Lin Fan comforted Yang Jiannan.

At this moment, a pleasant piano sound and a fragrance were heard.

"Young master, please." said the woman in green.

In front of me was an open space surrounded by silk, and the sound of the piano and the fragrance came from it.

Lin Fan stepped in.

It was found that there was a piano table, a tea table and an incense burner inside.

There was a woman in white playing the piano. When she saw Lin Fan coming, she did not stop playing the piano. Instead, she finished the song and then looked at Lin Fan.

The woman standing next to the woman in white was the woman Lin Fan met at the entrance of Yixiang Tower.

At this moment, she was also staring at Lin Fan with a strange expression.

"Haha, nice to see you again."

Lin Fan spoke with a smile and found a seat to sit down.

Yang Jiannan followed behind Lin Fan like a little follower, and Lin Fan didn't pay any attention to him and let him do whatever he wanted.

"Young master is so talented, why do you tease my maid?" said the woman in white calmly.

"You are so talented, but you don't deserve it." Lin Fan shook his head and said calmly.

"Sir, you are quite modest! When I look back, I see that person standing in the dim light. I like this sentence very much." The woman in white poured a cup of tea for Lin Fan and placed it in front of him.

Lin Fan didn't hesitate to pick up the tea and sip it.

The woman in white said he was modest, which made Lin Fan feel a little embarrassed.

After all, it was not written by Lin Fan himself, but by Xin Dacai.

"Isn't the young master a member of the Yihe family?"

The woman in white smiled, probably sensing Lin Fan's embarrassment, and took the initiative to strike up a conversation.

"I am from the capital, going to Jiangnan to visit friends." Lin Fan said calmly.

"Sir, you haven't told me your name yet."

The woman in white smiled and looked at Lin Fan.

"Didn't you tell me?" Lin Fan said with a smile.

The woman in white was extremely beautiful. Even though Lin Fan had lived through two lifetimes, he had never seen such a beautiful face as that of the woman in white.

"Why do you ask for my name right away?" the maid next to the woman in white said dissatisfiedly.

"Didn't your young lady ask me first?"

Lin Fan smiled and asked back.

The maid's face flushed, but she couldn't refute it.

After all, she just wanted to irritate Lin Fan, so she deliberately picked a fight. An ordinary man would have signed up long ago.

Where had she ever seen someone as unromantic as Lin Fan?

"Wan'er, don't be rude." The woman in white spoke up to stop him.

"My name is Chu Nian'er." said the woman in white.

"It's a nice name, too."

Lin Fan nodded.

"Lin Fan."

"Lin Fan? Young Master is not ordinary at all." Chu Nian'er said with a smile.

Her every frown and smile makes people feel uneasy.

Yang Jiannan behind him had never seen such a beautiful woman so moved. His originally fair face was now red. He lowered his head and did not dare to look at Chu Nian'er.

"Girl, it's not easy either."

Lin Fan smiled and took another sip of tea.

"Thank you for the compliment, young master." Chu Nian'er gently added tea to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan looked at Chu Nian'er and felt a little confused.

Chu Nian'er has a unique temperament.

Moreover, it is unlikely for a prostitute to be as indifferent as Chu Nian'er, even if she has been trained since childhood.

This made Lin Fan curious about Chu Nian'er's origins, so he conducted some tests.

The same was true for Chu Nian'er. She couldn't see through Lin Fan, but she felt that he was quite interesting and had literary talent.

"Miss, it's time for the poetry reading." The maid beside her reminded.

Chu Nian'er asked softly, "Sir, the poetry competition is about to begin. With your talent, you will undoubtedly win, but I would like to see more. Would you be so kind as to do me the honor?"

"In that case, I will have to cut my butt with a knife."

Lin Fan gave a sly smile.

"Knife cutting buttocks?"

Chu Nian'er was stunned. This was a vulgar remark and what did it mean?

She looked at Lin Fan.

"Of course my eyes are opened."
