Chapter 132 Pretending to be a Patron
The people who were arguing heatedly suddenly stopped arguing when they saw this scene, and gathered around him to see what he was going to do.
As they watched, they seemed to be so frightened that they could fit a duck egg in their mouths.
They watched helplessly as Shen Shixu took a brush and dipped it in gouache to paint a few strokes on this side of his face, and then smeared it a few times there. His face, which had originally been stunning at first glance, suddenly became dull.
The face is still the same face, but the feeling it gives is completely different.
The original Shen Shixu had picturesque eyebrows, a high nose bridge, excellent bone structure, and a perfect fit between bones and flesh, especially those big, twinkling eyes, which made people intoxicated.
But now, those big, twinkling eyes didn't look as lively as before, and the bone structure wasn't as perfect as before, and her cheeks seemed a little sunken.
His skin also turned from white to pale, and he looked like a sickly person, but a rich sickly person, after all, he did not change his clothes.
Shen Shixu looked at their shocked eyes and said with a little complacency: "How about it, I won't be taken advantage of by others if I go in like this, right?"
After hearing what he said, Xiao Jinyi still felt uneasy about him going, but he also knew that Shen Shixu had done so much just to go in and find out for himself.
No matter how much he said, it wouldn't stop him, so he might as well go along with it.
"Of course we can, but we also want to follow you, and you should draw a picture for us as well."
Upon hearing this, Baili Xi and the others hurried over. They had found it very interesting when they watched it just now, and now it couldn't be better to experience it for themselves.
Shen Shixu spent most of an hour applying makeup to each of them to cover their appearance. They all looked the same, but compared to before, their looks were several levels lower.
After Baili Xi changed his clothes, everyone came to Shuyaxuan under the leadership of Captain Zhang. Captain Zhang pointed at Shuyaxuan, which had already started to welcome guests, and said, "That's Shuyaxuan. It just happened to start welcoming guests at this time, so I won't follow you there.
If someone recognizes me by then, it will alert the enemy. ”
Many people in Pingcheng County know Captain Zhang. Usually, he leads people to catch thieves and post notices, so many people are familiar with his face.
Shen Shixu nodded and asked him to wait here. They walked over with swagger. The person welcoming guests at the door saw how they were dressed and knew that a group of distinguished guests had arrived.
The voices welcoming them were much louder than before. Not long after Shen Shixu and the others entered, the madam came to greet them. When she saw the accessories on them, her eyes suddenly turned into the shape of money.
"Hey, these gentlemen look unfamiliar. Is this their first time here?"
Shen Shixu stood up, took out a stack of silver bills from his arms and handed them over, “Yes, this is our first time here, but we have heard of Shu Yaxuan’s name a long time ago.
I heard that the young men here are not only good-looking, but also have many talents.
Please call them all out, we want to choose carefully. Don't worry, you will get the money. ”
As he spoke, Shen Shixu handed over another gold ingot. After hearing what Shen Shixu said before, the madam knew that today's business would definitely make a lot of money.
Later, when she saw the gold ingot again, she was immediately delighted. She took the gold ingot, put it to her mouth, took a bite, and then stuffed it into her chest.
Then he waved his handkerchief and shouted to the people upstairs: "Gentlemen, why don't you come out and meet the guests?"
As soon as the madam shouted, the doors of the rooms on the second floor that were originally closed opened one by one. Men in colorful clothes walked down the stairs one after another, and then greeted them in a very orderly manner.
That scene made Shen Shixu, who was in court all day, tremble in his heart.
Shen Shixu asked the madam to arrange a room for them, and then let these young men go in one by one, asked them to introduce themselves first, and then asked a few more questions.
"When did you come to Shuyaxuan?"
“Since I was a kid.”
"Have you got any new arrivals recently?"
"There are two newcomers, one is Liu Xu and the other is Liu Ying."
"Then when you go out later, call these two people in."
After Shen Shixu gave him instructions, he rewarded him with 10 taels of silver.
Willow Catkins and Firefly came in soon, one wearing light blue clothes and the other wearing light purple clothes. Both of them had loose hair and their skin was whiter than the other.
But one is aloof and cool, while the other is glamorous.
Just by appearance, Shen Shixu and the others could tell who was the mysterious left protector.
The group of people said before that the Left Protector was a man with a feminine appearance, and the one named Liu Xu had a very cold appearance, like a bit of snow on a plum blossom.
The one called Liuying looked somewhat feminine, which fitted the description of the feminine appearance given by the group of people.
The look in her eyes when she looks at others is like a hook, and her lips are smeared with rouge, which is seductively red.
“I heard that you two are new here, and the others have grown up in the building. I’m curious as to why you are here?
Why don't you tell us about it and satisfy our curiosity? Don't worry, you won't suffer any loss. We will give you some money after you finish talking.
Liu Xu's story is short but pitiful. His family was well-off, he was loved by his parents and had some education.
But after his parents passed away, his uncle took over their family business. His uncle and aunt disliked him and actually sold him to Shu Yaxuan. Today was his first time to come out to receive customers.
If it means preserving her innocence, even if it means losing it for just one night or one day, Liu Xu doesn't mind exposing her scars.
After he finished speaking, Shen Shixu took out a silver note of one hundred taels and gave it to him.
Baili Xi saw that he had a good temper and was only fourteen or fifteen years old, so he reached out his hand, avoiding Liuying's eyes, and took his pulse.
He has a good physical foundation and is a good candidate for practicing martial arts. It just so happens that his friend wants to find an apprentice.
This person quite met his friend's requirements, so Baili Xi approached Shen Shixu and asked him to help him redeem this person.
Shen Shixu was very surprised that he wanted to buy a waiter back, and his eyes almost popped out.
Baili Xi knew that he had misunderstood, and explained in a low voice, "I will explain it to you when I get back, but it is definitely not what you think."
Shen Shixu still believed in Bailixi very much. He and Xiao Lie had such a good relationship and he would never betray Xiao Lie. He must have some plan for buying this person back.
"Hehe, I think you are really pitiful. Go find the madam and tell her that I want to redeem you and ask her to bring your indentureship to me."
