In the small courtyard, Wan Ruoqing watched Li Yi run over quickly and take away the food box in her hand. After saying "thank you", her figure flashed again and disappeared outside the door.
"What's going on?"
Her face was full of surprise. After looking at the door for a long time, she shook her head and walked to Zeng Zuimo's room.
"Miss, I … I didn't know …" Xiao Cui hugged the pillow, turned around, looked at Zeng Zuimo, and said pitifully.
Seeing her raise her hand, she immediately picked up the pillow to cover her head and quickly said, "I'm sorry, Miss, I didn't mean to. I didn't know you were changing clothes …"
"What's wrong with Xiao Cui?" Wan Ruoqing walked in from outside and saw her with the pillow on her head.
Zeng Zuimo's hand didn't fall on her head. After glaring at the girl, she said, "Nothing. Xiao Cui, you go out first. I have something to say to Sister Ruoqing."
"Oh."
The girl, who knew she had sinned deeply, responded, walked out with the pillow on her head, and didn't forget to close the door.
"Did Xiao Cui make you angry again?" Wan Ruoqing looked at her and asked with a smile.
She knew that Xiao Cui's mind was a bit muddle-headed and would often do some things that made people not know whether to laugh or cry. However, Zeng Zuimo and her were sisters in name. Most of the time, she just scared her, and in fact, she wouldn't punish her.
"Let's not talk about this." Zeng Zuimo shook her head. No matter how close she was to Wan Ruoqing, she couldn't know what just happened. She looked in the direction of the door and said mysteriously, "Come here, I'll show you something."
Seeing her take out another painting from under a few paintings like a thief, Wan Ruoqing took a look and wondered, "What is this?"
Zeng Zuimo leaned close to her ear and said a few words with a blushing face. Wan Ruoqing was stunned, and her neck was also covered with a layer of pink. She said, "You, how did you think of this? How are you going to wear this out? Isn't it …"
"Of course I won't wear it." Zeng Zuimo pouted and said, "But there are no outsiders at home. It's not like you don't know how hard it is to wear a corset all day. If this continues for a few years, it will, it will …"
"But us women … aren't we all like this?" Wan Ruoqing's face was still pink.
"Why should we women be like this?" Zeng Zuimo raised her eyebrows and said, "At that time, what kind of woman are we? It is because we are women that we need to know how to protect ourselves …"
When Zeng Zuimo began to say this, she thought that it was Li Yi who was a man who had said these words. She felt a little strange. After she repeated those words, she realized that she had been convinced by herself.
This was something that benefited all the women in the world. As a woman, what was there for her to be embarrassed about?
"This … will it really work?" Wan Ruoqing's face was a little less shy as she looked at her and asked.
"We'll know after we try." Speaking of this, Zeng Zuimo's expression was a little unnatural as she gritted her teeth.
Wan Ruoqing thought about it and said, "If you like it, then do it."
In addition to those entertainment programs, the brothel also had a lot of businesses. Although most of them were arranged by Li Yi, she had always been in control of the overall situation. She was also a little tempted by what Zeng Zuimo had said. If what she said was true, it could be imagined that this new type of underwear would be very popular, even surpassing today's perfume.
"However, who are we going to sell it to? I'm afraid the women in the capital won't accept it immediately …"
A mysterious smile appeared on Zeng Zuimo's face and she said, "You don't have to worry about this …"
The Jadeite Brothel had moved to the capital. As long as she told the brothel keeper that the girls wearing these new underwear could attract more customers, she was willing to provide a dozen pieces for free for the sake of their past friendship. Wouldn't the brothel keeper, who had always valued money more than her life, go crazy?
At that time, she could spread the news that the Jadeite Brothel had a treasure to attract customers. Those brothel keepers from the Manchun Brothel, Golden Phoenix Brothel, and Swallow's Brothel would all come knocking …
It had to be said that this kind of underwear was much more tempting to men than the underwear.
When those men who frequented brothels got used to this new type of underwear, if they knew there was such a shop in the capital, they would urge their wives and concubines to buy it … Everything else would follow naturally.
When Wan Ruoqing walked out of Zeng Zuimo's room, Xiao Cui walked into the room with a pillow in her arms. She saw Wan Ruoqing sitting at the head of the bed, folding up her favorite pink underwear and putting it in a box. Her expression was slightly stunned …
…
…
Teaching Xiao Huan how to play the flower-flipping rope was a mistake. In just one day, all the maids in the house had learned this new game.
Whenever they had free time, they would get together in twos or threes and play happily with the silk thread in their hands. The few fallen leaves in the courtyard had already been there for an hour — this was blatant laziness.
Li Yi began to reflect. Other maids, if they were just a little bit lazy, they would be beaten and scolded, and if they were serious, they would be indescribable.
Had he been too lenient with them before?
"Hehe, I won again!"
The maid named Xiao Qing had a proud expression on her face. She was now the best at playing the flower-flipping rope in the entire Count's Residence, other than Miss Xiao Huan. Just now, even Xiao He, who was the first to learn this game, was defeated by her.
"Xiao Qing is pretty good!"
The voice that came from behind made the few maids jump in fright. When they turned around and saw that it was their Lord Jue, they immediately felt relieved.
Everyone knew that in the entire residence, the strictest person was Butler Li, and the one who treated the servants the best and the most gentle was Lord Jue. Not only did he give them an increase in their allowance, he even taught them how to play the game. It was not that they were bragging, but in the entire capital, there was no other master like him.
If there was a popularity poll in the residence, Lord Jue would definitely be in first place, and Butler Li would definitely be in last place.
"Hehe, it's all because Miss Xiao Huan taught us well," the maid named Xiao Qing said with some embarrassment.
She actually knew how to use a roundabout strategy to please Xiao Huan. Li Yi smiled and said, "Since Xiao Qing's flower-flipping rope is so good, then this month's allowance …"
The maid was stunned for a moment when she heard this. Her face lit up, and her eyes immediately turned into crescent moons.
When the other servant girls saw this, they all revealed expressions of envy and regret. They were envious because Little Qing's monthly allowance was going to increase again, and regretful because if they knew that flipping flower ropes could also increase their monthly allowance, they would have worked hard to learn it …
"Since Xiao Qing's flower-flipping rope is so good, then this month's allowance — — will be reduced by half." Li Yi smiled at the maids and said, "And you guys, this month's allowance will be reduced by half. If you are so lazy next time, it will all be deducted."
"Thank …" Little Qing was halfway through her sentence when her eyes suddenly widened. She raised her head and looked at Li Yi in disbelief.
When he saw the maids' expressions freeze and stand dumbly on the spot, Li Yi walked back to his room with his hands behind his back. Although he did not like the lifeless atmosphere in the house, he still needed to maintain his dignity when necessary.
When he walked down the corridor, he coincidentally bumped into Miss.Liu who was coming out of her room.
"I'm going to the brothel. Don't wait for me for dinner," Miss.Liu said plainly and quickly walked outside.
"Wait, I'm going too." Li Yi was stunned for a moment, then he immediately turned and followed her.
Recently, Miss.Liu's behavior was extremely abnormal. She left early in the morning and returned late at night. He did not know what she was busy with outside.
The seventeen-year-old Miss.Liu was in her rebellious phase. As her half-guardian, Li Yi felt that he had the right and obligation to control the direction of her life and not let her go astray. Otherwise, he would not be able to explain to Ruyi …
After a while, Miss.Liu's figure was about to disappear. Li Yi hurriedly shouted, "Slow down, wait for me … Hey, hey, don't fly …"
