The young man pursed his lips and smiled. Intentionally or unintentionally, he moved closer to the Young Master with the Saber. After being gently avoided, the young man felt a bit regretful. It seemed that the Young Master did not know the pleasure of the bed, but the young man did not care too much about it. As for why the elegant gentleman with a saber would bring a little girl to visit the brothel, he had seen too many unimaginable strange things, so he was too lazy to think about it. In the brothel, there were many dirty things and jokes. For example, some young masters did not like beautiful women, but instead fell in love with those old and fat women. Or some frightening burly men who liked to be whipped by the girls and dripped candles on them. There were even rich merchants who brought along their wives who dressed up as men to play with one dragon and two phoenixes. It was a bizarre and variegated life. How could he, a young man who sold his skin at a young age, understand clearly? He was already too busy earning money and building connections, so why would he think about these trivial things?
Xu Fengnian lowered his head and looked at Tao Manwu. The little girl had the demeanor of a great general. As expected of Tao Qianzhi's daughter, her face was calm and tranquil. However, Xu Fengnian knew that her palms were sweaty, so he said to the young man, "Enter through the side door."
The young man knew that some people would be reserved when visiting a brothel. He wanted to explain that the Guanghan Brothel was elegant and quiet. Even if you walked in from the front door, you would not see many faces. However, seeing the firm eyes of the Young Master with the Saber, he did not insist on such details. In addition to the four-story main building, there were two separate courtyards, which were occupied by the top courtesans of the brothel. Hsu Fengnian went up to the second floor and looked through the window. There was a courtyard behind the building that was brightly lit. Many nobles and scholars in brocade robes were sitting on the ground. The sound of the zither lingered in the air. A plump woman with an icicle face was playing the zither leisurely. She was wearing a small sleeved long skirt and beautiful gold embroidery. Sitting next to her was a rough warrior with a marten tail. He sat cross-legged and wore a pair of black leather boots. It was obvious that he was arrogant. He was dressed like the scholars of the Liyang Dynasty and enjoyed the music with his eyes closed. Only the rough warrior's eyes were fixed on the fair chest of the courtesan who was playing the zither. Every time she touched it, it would cause a ripple and the man's eyes would become hotter.
When they arrived at an elegant tea room, the young man slightly bowed his head and said goodbye, "I will go and report to the nanny. Please wait a moment."
After he left, Tao Manwu asked carefully, "Is it sister?"
Hsu Fengnian smiled and nodded.
Not long after, the young man walked into the tearoom with a charming woman in light makeup. She carried a jar of yellow wine sealed in mud and said with a smile, "Yunzi left in a hurry just now and didn't pour tea for you. It was out of kindness that I wanted you to meet a girl you like as soon as possible. Please don't take offense. My name is Xiyi and I brought you a jar of our Flying Fox City's Three Flavors Old Yellow Wine as an apology on behalf of Yunzi. Yunzi, warm the wine for you. I will go and inform Miss Wei. If Qiao 'er is free, I will come and invite you again. "
The young man had just taken the yellow wine when the sound of hurried footsteps came from the door. The young man who was called Yunzi was flustered, but the woman who called herself Xiyi was much calmer. She looked at the door and saw a group of people rushing into the tea room aggressively. There were two strong trainers who worked as hired thugs for the brothel and a beautiful young man who was more beautiful than Yunzi. The leader of the group was a woman wearing a pair of soft-soled brocade hooked boots that were popular in the old West Shu Palace. Her long sleeves trailed on the ground. The handsome young man bowed and bent his knees as he trotted over. Looking at her aura and attire, although the woman Xiyi had some status in the brothel, she was far inferior to the woman who was wearing heavy makeup. Sure enough, the woman who had practiced Fiery Golden Eyes only glanced at the Young Master with the Saber and completely lost her scruples. She stretched out her index finger and pointed at Xiyi. She sneered and said, "You Xiyi, do you know the rules of the Guanghan Tower? How dare you privately take in a guest? Miss Anyang's courtyard has no seats. You dare to skip Miss Qing's courtyard and directly send her to Wei Qingwan's Embroidered Ball Pavilion? Xiyi, who gave you the courage?! "
Xiyi was worried and worried. She forced a smile and said, "Sister Cui, I just saw that Miss Qing's courtyard was crowded, so I didn't want to disturb you."
The woman let out a long and sinister 'oh'. She stared at Xiyi for a while and smiled, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I've been friends with Xiyi for so many years and I know that she's always reliable. It must be this damned Yunzi who acted on her own initiative. Men, drag her out and beat her with twenty sticks. According to the rules, don't miss one stick, but also don't miss one stick. If she is beaten to death, the Guanghan Tower will lose hundreds of taels of silver. I can't afford this sin. "
The young man's hand trembled and a jar of yellow wine fell to the ground. It was about to hit the foot of the Young Master with the Saber.
Hsu Fengnian stretched out his arm and caught it. He put it on the table and didn't say anything.
It was obvious that the second most popular girl of the Guanghan Tower, Miss Qing Nu, who had a good reputation, and the rising star Miss Qing with the surname Wei. The two of them had a conflict. Behind them, the Nannies who shared the honor and disgrace of their respective courtesans were scheming against each other. Looking at the situation, it was unknown why Qing Nu, who had a good reputation for rolling embroidered balls, lost her popularity. Qing Nu's courtyard was crowded, but her Embroidered Ball Pavilion was deserted. It was probably because the young Yunzi was closer to Qing Nu and the Nannies, so she wanted to catch a foreign guest and see if she could solve the urgent problem. She didn't expect that what she was afraid of would happen.
Xiyi didn't care about the noise behind her. She squeezed out a smile and said, "Sister Cui, don't be angry. Today's matter really has nothing to do with Yunzi. Xiyi was blinded by lard and took the job without permission. Sister Cui caught me in the act. I accept the punishment."
The woman surnamed Cui made it clear that she didn't care about the owner. She sneered and said, "Sister Xiyi, you are kind, but rules are rules. Why do you want to be punished for a little bitch who doesn't understand? I can't bear to see you humiliate yourself like this. What are you looking at? Drag Yunzi out and beat her twenty times. "
The young man with the skirt smiled and repeated, "Drag her out and beat her twenty times."
Xiyi turned to Hsu Fengnian for help. She was a woman with some status in the Guanghan Tower, but at this time, she was all alone and looked miserable.
Yunzi knelt down and whispered, "Young Master, save me!"
Hsu Fengnian was indifferent.
Xiyi restrained her sadness and turned to the arrogant woman and said coldly, "Sister Cui, this young master is a distinguished guest of our Guanghan Tower for the first time. Don't you care about his feelings? Aren't you afraid that the Flying Fox City will laugh at you? "
Hsu Fengnian frowned and thought, "You still want to drag me down?"
The woman covered her mouth and smiled. She was very happy. Seeing that the two instructors remembered their old friendship and didn't want to drag the sweet and well-behaved Yunzi away, her face became gloomy.
Cut the weeds and dig up the roots. This was what the officials and military men said, but she was very clear about it. When dealing with some enemies, if she did not push them to the brink of death, they would really rise again when the spring breeze blew. Back then, didn't she make a wrong move and lose to this Xiyi and almost couldn't get up? Now the tables had turned. Xiyi's life was miserable and she wanted to make a comeback with the help of the little bitch surnamed Wei? No way!
The woman pushed Xiyi away and grabbed Yunzi's hair and pulled. The young man who didn't dare to resist fell to the ground. She stepped on him fiercely and smiled again. She didn't look ferocious at all. She had the charm of a big family's first wife teaching a servant.
Xiyi bit her lips and covered her arm with one hand.
The weather was cold like spring and the heart was cold like autumn.
The woman had stepped enough and looked at the Young Master with the saber. She smiled and said, "Dear guest, do you dare to tell anyone about what you saw today?"
Hsu Fengnian couldn't help but laugh.
Tao Manwu was a little nervous when facing Yunzi and Xiyi, but he was still calm. After seeing the woman, he subconsciously hid behind Hsu Fengnian.
Hsu Fengnian took out two hundred taels of silver and said calmly, "I came to Guanghan House to get familiar with Miss Wei so that I can visit often in the future. In fact, I have a selfish intention to get close to Sister Xiyi. I'm not interested in Anyang or Qing Nu. To be honest, Sister Xiyi is more interesting. Women at this age are better at serving people, aren't they? As for you, a woman in your fifties, get lost and go home to your grandson. I'm too full for dinner and don't want to waste food. "
Xiyi was stunned and her eyes turned red.
That was a huge honor given to him.
It was more warm than thousands of words of love and a thousand taels of silver.
