The madam was a woman, nicknamed "Sister Flower," who always dressed herself up in a riot of colors.
Upon hearing the news about the pimp, I thought it was an overreaction. What kind of peerless man? She's had too many men she could be with. Peerless? Just laugh.
When she saw Zhan Qin in person, her eyes widened in amazement, almost sparkling with stars. She was also captivated by the sight of the glittering silver. She floated over without touching the ground, eager to take advantage of him, and said in a coquettish voice, "Oh my, what a handsome young master!"
The group of customers, who had been attracted earlier, thought the pimps were fellow brothel owners looking for pleasure and were eager to hook up with them. But when they heard what the pimp said, they immediately understood and shouted that they should start bidding.
"I'll offer fifty taels."
"Pah! You dare to say fifty taels? I'll offer sixty taels."
"Can't you guys have any sense of propriety? Such a stunning beauty is a first-timer, how could it be worth only a few dozen taels? I'll offer a hundred taels."
"One hundred and twenty taels."
"......."
If Chu Jinjin were here, she would probably join the bidding...
My husband is so valuable! He costs over a hundred taels of silver for one night, which adds up to several thousand taels a month and tens of thousands a year. If we ever become too poor, we can take clients to support our family.
This is another great affirmation!
Jie Du ignored him, quickly took a step back as a fragrant breeze rushed towards him, and frowned: "Please, Mother, have some self-respect."
"Hehe, young master is so serious." Sister Hua wasn't angry at all; on the contrary, she was even happier. Judging from his tone and demeanor, he was definitely a young master from a noble family.
There are many handsome appearances, but excellent souls are hard to find.
She now completely agrees with the pimp's words—"absolutely stunning."
From facial features, skin, and figure to temperament, she was the best she had ever seen. Of course, it would be even better if she was outstanding in another aspect as well.
"Stop arguing, it's so annoying! This is the young master's first time here, don't scare him!" Sister Hua roared at the customer who kept raising the price.
More than a hundred taels? How is that possible?
Sister Hua led the person to her room, closed the door, and carefully examined them while making tea.
As for being vigilant, there isn't.
It happens frequently for people to come to your door to offer their services. Life is full of unexpected events, and there's nothing wrong with selling your body to make money.
After considering her options, Sister Hua asked a few simple questions and then slowly asked, "Young Master Zhan, are you planning for the short term or the long term?"
Zhan Qin wasn't familiar with the industry terminology, and politely asked, "What do you mean?"
"It's very simple. In the short term, we'll find you a wealthy and powerful client, but it might take some time. With your looks, not everyone can afford to pay that much." Sister Hua smiled gently. "As for the long term, that's easy. You heard the price just now, and if nothing unexpected happens, two hundred taels will be enough to ensure you have guests every night."
Zhan Qin understood and said calmly, "Only once. I have other plans, so I will only accept one offer."
Sister Hua blinked: "What price are you looking for, young master?"
It's a bit of a pity.
There's a commission for each transaction, but that's not surprising. Judging by his demeanor, he doesn't seem like someone who sells his body long-term.
Zhan Qin opened his palm: "Five thousand taels."
Sister Hua almost jumped up: "Are you crazy? The courtesan is only once a year. The highest price is only 1,500 yuan. Young master, money doesn't grow on trees."
She had already set her sights high enough, but the highest she dared to dream of was two thousand taels.
Five thousand taels came right away!
"I'm in charge of this family, how would my mother know if she hasn't tried it?" If it were a different occasion, Zhan Qin would like to say something, such as his well-developed chest and abdominal muscles, his sexual prowess, or his literary talent that could easily make him a top scholar.
Five thousand taels is already quite cheap.
Sister Hua stared at him through gritted teeth for a long time: "Fine, I'll give it a try, but don't get your hopes up too high, young master."
She didn't compromise or agree.
The moment she saw Zhan Qin, she knew who it was—the Black Dragon King.
To be able to open the largest brothel here, one must naturally have an extraordinary relationship with the Black Dragon King, having sent countless men to him over the years.
Based on her understanding of Black Dragon, she would definitely take a liking to it at first glance; as for whether she would pay him, that was another matter entirely.
If he were to be tied up on a ship and made a male concubine, that would be his fate, and there would be nothing she could do to help.
Zhan Qin naturally stayed here that night.
As instructed by Sister Hua, a private room was prepared for him, and he was undisturbed.
Zhan Qin glanced out the window from time to time.
He didn't know if it was because of the pregnancy, but he missed Chu Jinjin very much.
Just after lights out, the window was gently pushed open, and a human head slowly dangled down.
Zhan Qin almost burst out laughing, recalling their first meeting, which was also a similar scene that had terrified him so much that he almost thought he had seen a ghost.
Chu Jinjin nimbly flipped over and jumped in. She saw the smile on Zhan Qin's face and smiled back. Feeling warm inside, she immediately moved closer and said, "Give me a hug."
The moment their bodies touched, Chu Jinjin almost let out a satisfied moan.
She could disregard worldly opinions and others, but she couldn't disregard her family. Since that incident, the two of them continued to act secretly, let alone share a bed.
Chu Jinjin nestled in his warm, strong embrace, her voice muffled: "Well, tell me quickly."
There were too many people, and in broad daylight, she couldn't get close enough to eavesdrop. She wanted to disguise herself and come in, but the pimp said he didn't accept female customers.
When Zhan Qin said with a smile, Chu Jinjin was shocked: "Five thousand taels?"
That's too high. She was the most beautiful courtesan back then, and she only received two thousand taels.
However, you can't say things like that.
"If the madam can agree to this price, she must have connections with Black Dragon." Zhan Qin sneered. He deliberately asked for an exorbitant price to arouse Black Dragon's curiosity, but he didn't expect Sister Hua to have this idea. She was trying to sell him into a fire pit.
Chu Jinjin nodded: "After this is all over, throw her into the sea to feed the fish."
She wasn't angry about Sister Hua's plan, but rather, she was disgusted that Sister Hua would try to touch her man's chest muscles; she couldn't let that go unpunished.
Chu Jinjin described her situation: "Salt prices have indeed gone up, as have other things. It seems that Heilong has already noticed."
Zhan Qin came to entice them, and Jie Du was not idle either. Black Eagle Mountain Village often came here to purchase goods, so he was quite familiar with the prices. As a result, after asking around, he found that the prices of the least expensive items had increased by one level, and the most scarce item, salt, had increased by three levels.
In the salt industry, Heilongjiang has a monopoly.
"Yes, but he didn't expect you to be here, Jinjin." With a beauty in his arms, Zhan Qin had no mind to talk about national affairs. He tightened his embrace and whispered, "You're not leaving tonight, are you? Let's sleep together?"
If it doesn't work in Black Hawk Stronghold, and it still doesn't work here, he really can't take it anymore.
Chu Jinjin answered with her body, raising her head.
Their warm, burning lips pressed tightly together. Chu Jinjin was being honest with herself, but just as her clothes were about to be removed, she suddenly grabbed Zhan Qin's hand tightly and whispered, "I... I've started my period."
Of course he didn't come.
This was Liu's instruction.
During the early stages of pregnancy, the fetus is not stable, so it's best to avoid sexual intercourse.
For the sake of the child, I have to endure it for now.
Little did he know, Zhan Qin had the same idea, but he was at a loss for how to refuse since the die was cast. Upon hearing what Chu Jinjin said, he immediately nodded vigorously in agreement.
In the darkness, the two of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, cover your lower abdomen.
