The Transmigrated Li Jin's Daily Farming Life (Translated With Mtl)

Chapter 67

Because there were only more than 300 people left in the fourth exam, the chances of meeting acquaintances were a little higher at this time.

Li Jin and Chen Xiran bumped into Huang Yiling.

Huang Yiling saw them and immediately greeted them, saying, "Thanks to Li Jin and Brother Chen's help, I didn't miss the prefect's book."

"You're welcome."

Huang Yiling asked where they were staying. Upon hearing that they were staying in an inn 200 meters away, he said with regret, "The three of us arrived earlier and stayed at the inn diagonally opposite the county government. We wanted to review our homework together before, but we realized that there were too many candidates and it was impossible to find anyone."

Chen Xiran said, "Yes, Mr. Song said that at that time, the maximum number of people participating in the county test was only around a hundred."

Xu Zifan had participated in a county test before and had done some research on this.

"There are advantages to having many people. As far as I know, the number of people who pass the county test is approximately one-tenth of the number of participants. This year, we should have around fifty people pass."

They have to thank those young people who came to "experience the atmosphere of the examination room" because otherwise the number of successful candidates would have to decrease.

As the evening grew late, the group didn't have much time for further conversation. They could only agree that after completing the final exam the next day, everyone would gather to go to the brothel for a drink.

But Li Jin did not agree with this.

Even though he has an easygoing personality and can quickly get along with his classmates, he still has his own principles to uphold.

However, the ancient "qinglou" (brothel) is different from a regular brothel. Qinglous are divided into different grades, with the lowest grade referred to as a "jilou" (brothel), where women mostly sell their bodies.

Piaoxiangyuan in town is of this lower grade.

Slightly higher up the ranks, the girls in the building are divided into two groups. Some of the top-notch girls sell their talents rather than their bodies, but if the price is high, they may also accompany clients.

As you go up further, the skills of the girls in the qinglou become even more outstanding.

Liu Rushi, who was considered the foremost among the "Eight Beauties of Qinhuai," had talent comparable to men. Unfortunately, she ended up in a qinglou, faced unfortunate circumstances, and ultimately died with resentment.

The brothels in the county probably divided the girls into two categories, one for selling themselves and the other for selling their artistic skills without selling themselves.

Li Jin thought that regardless of the situation, the brothel was a place where literati and artists sought pleasure. He had a husband and children, so he naturally didn't plan to go in.

He could disregard the evaluation of his classmates, whether it be pedantic or stereotypical, Li Jin had firmly decided not to go to the brothel.

Because once he went in the first time, if others invited him again, he wouldn't have the position to refuse.

If he went in and drank too much and got carried away, he might end up doing something else...

Li Jin thought that although he firmly believed he wouldn't do anything that would betray his youth, rather than testing his willpower again and again in the future, it would be better to extinguish these "possibilities" one by one early on.
