Judging from his voice, Zhu Yan sounded like a teenager. But his tone was extremely arrogant.
Moqin reached out to push the door open, but gave Lin Mengya a warning look.
The owner was inside! Lin Mengya also became cautious. The owner behind the scenes was not as easy to deal with as Moqin and Hongyu.
As soon as the door was opened, a breeze passed through. The slightly moist air made Lin Mengya's mind clear.
The spices and smoke outside had become tasteless under the effect of the water vapor in the air. Although she didn't know how the owner did it, it was indeed a smart and good idea.
The room was not big, but it was extremely exquisite.
It was more like the study of a young master than the owner of Huichun House.
The three of them walked to the innermost part of the room, and a table full of books was placed in front of them.
Behind the table sat a man in fine white clothes. But his facial features were blocked by the books, so they couldn't see his appearance.
"Where did this silly woman come from? How can you be so ignorant of the rules? How can you look at my young master at will! "
A harsh voice suddenly came from the side. Lin Mengya didn't need to look to know that this person was the little boy who was called Lord Zhu Yan before.
He was really a child, with a round and tender face and a pair of big black eyes. He was dressed in cyan gray clothes, and with two round buns in his hair, he was really cute.
Unfortunately, his attitude was so bad, and he had no manners at all.
If it was outside, she really didn't mind teaching this little guy how to be a new man.
But now, she had to bear with it for a while.
"Please forgive me, Lord Zhu Yan. It's my fault."
Lin Mengya immediately pretended to be frightened. Hongyu and Moqin both broke into a sweat, for fear that she would have a conflict with Zhu Yan.
Seeing Lin Mengya like this, the two of them were relieved.
"Humph, it's good that you know. Seeing that you have a good attitude, I won't blame you. Don't you think so, owner? "
Zhu Yan turned his head and obediently stood beside the man whom he had addressed as' Workshop Master '.
"Well, stop it."
There was a hint of pampering in his warm and melodious voice.
Although Lin Mengya was curious about the owner's appearance, she did not dare to raise her head and look at him boldly.
After asking Moqin and Hongyu a few questions, the shopkeeper seemed to believe her identity, but Lin Mengya felt that things did not seem to be so simple.
"Raise your head."
The voice turned to her. Lin Mengya was a little nervous. Slowly, he raised his head.
At this moment, the book that concealed the owner's face had already been placed on the study table. His handsome and gentle face surprised Lin Mengya a little.
If she hadn't met him here, she wouldn't have thought of it. Such a man who looked as gentle as jade turned out to be the behind-the-scenes boss of Huichun House.
As expected, you can't judge a book by its cover.
Seeing her face, the shopkeeper's eyes flickered for a moment. However, he didn't show it on the surface. He just asked calmly,
"Where are you from in Yunzhou?"
Fortunately, Lin Mengya had prepared for this before. She answered the man's question calmly at once.
"I'm not from Yunzhou. I heard from the madam in the yard that my family is from the Capital City. But later, my family declined, so I was bought back by the madam. "Although her fake identity was from Yunzhou, she didn't know the dialect of Yunzhou at all.
Here, unlike in the caravan, she might be exposed if she was careless.
Therefore, she could only answer with a mixture of truth and lies.
"Oh? Since you grew up in Yunzhou, why do you speak in an authentic official language? There are also girls from Yunzhou in my house, but they are quite different from you. "
There was doubt in the shopkeeper's words, but his attitude was still euphemistic.
Lin Mengya couldn't figure out the temperament of the shopkeeper at the moment, so she had to treat him with caution.
"This brothel doesn't only serve locals. Moreover, the yard I stayed in is similar to Huichun House, which serves businessmen coming and going. How can I do business if I don't even know how to speak the official dialect? "
Lin Mengya said with a smile. Her ability to talk nonsense with her eyes open was very powerful.
Moreover, her attitude was so righteous that people had no choice but to follow her lead.
"Oh? So that's it. "
The shopkeeper didn't say that she believed it, nor did she say that she didn't. She just smiled and continued to ask.
"Since that's the case, you naturally have your own unique skills. The girls in my house are at least proficient in playing the zither, singing, poetry and songs. Since you were chosen by Moqin and Hongyu, you naturally have extraordinary skills. Why don't you show me? "
It turned out that the shopkeeper wanted to test her.
Lin Mengya was not stupid, and neither was the shopkeeper.
In fact, there were no big flaws in what she had said just now. However, the madams would spend a lot of money to hire a teacher to train girls like Hongyu and Moqin, who were trained since they were young.
Lin Mengya quickly collected some of her specialties in her mind. However, she instantly found that she had no specialties except for medical skills.
Uh … it seemed that she was not qualified to be a prostitute nowadays.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly. She smiled charmingly, winked at the shopkeeper, and said in a sweet voice,
"Our brothel is a small place, so the madam naturally won't hire a teacher to teach us. However, compared with these two sisters, my greatest strength is that I know how to please men. Moreover, running a brothel is just to do business, not to select a female scholar. Aren't you tired of knowing so many things? "
After Lin Mengya finished speaking, she deliberately poked the table with her hands. He winked suggestively and put on an extremely frivolous look.
In addition, the dancing dress she was wearing today was also very attractive. In addition, she deliberately stroked her hair coquettishly. Any man would at least be a little impulsive.
However, the shopkeeper might have seen too many beauties. Therefore, he just glanced at her indifferently and frowned slightly.
"Well, you can leave. Zhu Yan, you can take them away. "
If Lin Mengya was right, she was despised when she showed off her coquettishness for the first time.
Huh? After all, she could be considered a beauty. Although she was not at the level of a stunning beauty, she was at least a little purple.
She was wearing a low-cut dress and twisting in front of a man. Shouldn't the man be eager to throw himself on her? Then, she could easily reach out her hand and the man would let her do whatever she wanted?
But now, the shopkeeper's eyes were full of disgust for her!
God! This was simply an insult to her dignity as a woman.
Just when she was about to imitate the charming posture of the heroine lying on the table in the movies. Moqin and Hongyu, however, held her back together.
After bowing, they pulled the girl who was twisting like a big meat worm and rushed out of the shopkeeper's room.
"Let go of me. I'll fight with him today!"
Zhu Yan walked in front of them complacently. After hearing Lin Mengya's low roar behind him, he laughed even more.
Moqin and Hongyu didn't expect that this girl was so bold.
For fear of being heard by Zhu Yan, they could only whisper in her ear,
"Don't try to use any crooked ideas. I've been in this place for more than ten years, but I've never seen the shopkeeper doting on any flower lady. Moreover, don't think that the shopkeeper is easy to talk to because he didn't get angry. There are many girls in this place who want to get out of the abyss of suffering by pleasing the shopkeeper. In the end, they either die or go crazy. "
Die or go crazy? Or go crazy? Lin Mengya instantly quieted down.
This shouldn't be the case. The shopkeeper didn't look like a cruel and merciless person. But thinking about it carefully, Huichun House was no less than hell on earth for girls.
Could it be that this fellow was a two-faced person?
When she was about to ask more questions, she suddenly remembered that the little lackey named Zhu Yan was still in front of them.
If he heard it, it would be enough for them to suffer.
She didn't know what was going on between this guy and the shopkeeper. Such a conceited and arrogant kid was not likable at all.
Could it be that Zhu Yan was the shopkeeper's illegitimate son?
Of course, Lin Mengya didn't intend to continue to inquire about this gossip. The three of them followed Zhu Yan down the stairs and arrived at a row of places that looked like guest rooms.
After pushing open a room at random, he said with his nose in the air,
"From today on, you'll stay here. Remember, although you're the flower ladies in the house, you can't walk around at will. If you disturb the distinguished guests, the three of you won't be able to pay for it. "
Moqin and Hongyu immediately agreed. Although Lin Mengya didn't act as respectfully as the two of them, she pretended to be submissive.
Now they were in someone else's territory. She didn't want to stir up any trouble.
Zhu Yan turned around and left with satisfaction. Moqin immediately closed the door. At this moment, her little face was full of joy.
"Fortunately, the shopkeeper is in a good mood today. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so easy to talk to."
As soon as Zhu Yan left, the atmosphere between the three of them became a little awkward.
After all, Hongyu and Moqin had lied to Lin Mengya before. She didn't feel it when they fought against others together. Now that there were only three of them left, they didn't know how to get along.
"I want to go out and have a look. Who wants to go with me?"
After thinking for a while, Lin Mengya decided to take the initiative to ease the current atmosphere.
Although she was also angry at being cheated. But no matter what, she blamed herself for this matter because she was careless.
Since they were here, it was a little unrealistic to find out who was at fault.
Even if Hongyu and Moqin admitted their mistakes, so what? It was her idea to save Xiu.
"I'll go!"
Moqin and Hongyu said at the same time. After looking at each other, they still refused to go.
It seemed that they also knew that going out with Lin Mengya at this time was the best chance to get her forgiveness.
