Zhu Qiuyu didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He had never been to a brothel before and had never thought about it before, but since his fifth junior brother mentioned it, they could go and take a look together.

"Let's invite Xi Chen and Chu Mo too, we can't leave them out." If there's something fun to do, we should all do it together. How can we let just the two of them go quietly?

"Third Senior Brother should be able to go. Fourth Senior Brother is already setting up his fortune-telling stall; he'll probably be there all day." Actually, when he came over earlier, he first saw Zhu Chumo's fortune-telling stall and went to ask him. The other party said he was busy and had to set up his stall to tell fortunes for those who were destined to meet him.

So the three senior brothers met at the entrance of the brothel and were about to go in when Zhu Changge and Zhu Qingruo bumped into them. The two girls rushed over and stopped the three of them.

"Well, you actually try to patronize brothels like those shady men, trying to steal a bite without even looking at them. How can you three be so vulgar?" Zhu Qingruo berated the three of them without saying a word.

"What nonsense are you talking about? We're just going in to see what it's like." Zhu Yueran retorted with righteous indignation, but unfortunately, his explanation seemed unconvincing standing at the entrance of the brothel.

“You can’t just go in like this,” Zhu Changge frowned. “We’ve never been in before either. Please wait a moment, my junior sister and I will be there soon.”

Then the two teleported away, and soon reappeared dressed in men's clothing, each holding a folding fan, looking like handsome and refined young men.

The five men swaggered into the brothel. As soon as they entered, the madam greeted them. Judging from their clothes, she assumed they were young masters from some noble family, visiting the brothel together for the first time. The madam was especially enthusiastic.

"Bring me your most beautiful courtesan, a fine room, and a few skilled dancers to serve me." Zhu Qingruo waved her folding fan with a lecherous look.

The madam cursed inwardly, "Pah! They didn't even get a tip when they came in, and now they're talking about wanting the top courtesan? Is the top courtesan so easy to choose?"

The wealthy and powerful gentlemen all vied to have the courtesans serve them, but there were only three. The top courtesan was the most sought-after, followed by the second and third ranked courtesans. However, all three of them had been taken by the rich and powerful lord and were currently serving him in his room. They had no time to serve these five handsome but stingy strangers.

Being handsome is useless; you need to be rich.

Hearing that the courtesan was unavailable, Zhu Qiuyu and the others didn't care. Their junior sister had just been showing off; they didn't really need to order the courtesan. They just wanted to see what she looked like, which wasn't very meaningful.

He then casually called a few girls into a room. The group sat at the table, neither drinking nor eating, and simply told the girls not to serve them, but to play the zither and dance for them.

The courtesans thought to themselves, "These young men are really strange. They come to the brothel but don't drink or ask the girls to accompany them. They just want to watch them sing and dance. They might as well go to a music hall, since the girls there are much more skilled than us. What this brothel is good at is sleeping."

"It's really awful. What kind of dance is that? A striptease? It's boring." Zhu Qingruo shook her head, clearly disappointed.

"It's really not good, quite boring. Let's go." Zhu Qiuyu and the others agreed. It seems that brothels aren't a place of gentle fragrance for every man, at least not for them.

Upon entering, the room was filled with a strong, pungent smell of cosmetics and perfume. I sat there for less than half an hour, and while I hadn't heard anything useful, I did overhear some of the private affairs of officials' private quarters—it was truly tedious.
