The madam was old, but she was still wearing a scarlet dress and a big red flower on her head, which made her look a bit funny. She went on stage like this and really made everyone in the audience laugh.
"We want to see Miss Yuexin, who wants to see your old face?"
"That's right, that's right, blast it down, blast it down quickly!"
The madam bowed and kowtowed, smiling flatteringly, "Oh my, this old slave's face can make the nobles smile, it really is not in vain!
"Thank you all for coming to support us today. Our Miss Yuexin was also very happy when she learned that you all like her.
"Just now, Miss Yuexin has been dressing up and tuning her pipa, looking forward to coming out looking beautiful and singing for all the distinguished guests!
"If you are fond of Miss Yuexin, please give her some money, and I will buy her more clothes and jewelry. In the end, it will be more pleasing to the eyes and happier for you, right?"
She made faces as she spoke, and it was obvious that this "eye-catching" thing was not just her appearance, but that she treated Miss Yuexin as a dish and gave her away as a whole.
Someone in the audience immediately shouted, "I'll give you fifty taels of silver to buy Miss Yuexin a new dress!"
Then another person echoed, "Jiang Mou donated 88 taels of silver to give Miss Yue Xin a pair of bracelets!"
Someone took the lead, and the others, unwilling to lose face, followed suit and gave rewards.
Of course, Zhao Jincheng couldn't show weakness, so he said, "I haven't seen Miss Yuexin yet, but I have to show my sympathy. One hundred taels, I'll give you one hundred taels!"
The madam was delighted and was about to offer a few compliments when someone in the upstairs box called out, "Mr. Huang has given a reward of two hundred taels. Please invite Miss Yuexin out immediately."
The madam immediately bowed and responded, with a smile on her face like a chrysanthemum.
Zhao Jincheng felt that he had been slapped in the face by someone upstairs, and his expression became a little unhappy.
It’s bad enough that they’re trying to steal the box, but now they’re trying to steal the limelight too. They simply don’t take him seriously!
He was angry and wanted to shout a few words, but at this time, Miss Yuexin finally came out.
A woman in her twenties, with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, black hair like clouds, and upturned phoenix eyes, as if holding a pool of spring water. She walks like a willow swaying in the wind, and her waist is so slender that it can be held in one hand.
One of the customers was probably amazed and praised loudly, which startled the beauty. She pouted her cherry red lips slightly, looking three parts aggrieved and seven parts shy. This look really touched the man's heart and he couldn't pull it out.
Such a beauty is suitable to be held in your arms, coaxed and pampered slowly...
It has to be said that there are many beautiful women in the north, but most of them are bright and elegant. When it comes to being weak and helpless and making people feel pity and love, women from the south are better at it.
Look, Miss Yue Xin, who was born in the water town of Jiangnan, just appeared on the stage and without saying a word, she turned all the nobles in the audience into hungry wolves, trying hard to pretend to be elegant hungry wolves!
Zhao Jincheng's mouth was drooling, and he tugged at his long-servant's sleeve, repeatedly shouting, "This is top-notch! This is top-notch! I must get it tonight!"
The long-time attendant Zhao Guier was very proud and did not forget to take credit for it.
"Of course I did. I was so busy trying to find this exquisite beauty for my master that I almost broke my legs. As soon as my master came back, I immediately invited him over. Fortunately, I made it in time, otherwise this beauty would have been taken by someone else."
"Okay, reward, you must reward! Go home and go to the accounting office to collect ten taels of silver!" Zhao Jincheng gave generously, but his eyes were fixed on the stage without moving.
Miss Yuexin held the pipa, which covered half of her face, making her even more coveted. She spoke in the soft Wu dialect, and every word was like a feather caressing the heart, making people feel itchy!
When the song ended, everyone seemed to be immersed in the beautiful sound, and in fact, they didn't even have time to swallow their saliva secretly.
Miss Yuexin bowed while holding her pipa. She looked so weak that she seemed to be about to faint. She looked at everyone pitifully, like a cat seeking comfort.
Everyone came to their senses and applauded loudly, praising some and rewarding others, trying their best to show their faces in front of the beauty.
Finally, Miss Yuexin was coaxed into blushing, bowed down to express her gratitude, and then went back.
The madam came on stage again, her smiling face full of chrysanthemums.
"As you all know, it took me seven or eight years to raise a good girl like Yuexin. I love her like my own daughter and hope she can find a good man to rely on.
Tonight is Yuexin’s wedding night, it just depends on which of you nobles loves her more?
"A moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold. Gentlemen, please start offering your rewards. Whoever offers the highest reward will love Miss Yue Xin the most and will naturally be the groom tonight!"
Immediately, a tougong started beating the flower-passing drum, but this time it was not flowers that were passed, but silver.
There are thousands of hungry wolves but only one piece of meat, so they will definitely fight over it!
The bid started from five hundred taels of silver and went up to two thousand taels, and the competition became more and more intense.
But after all, it was just a woman, and it was just a one-night stand. When the price finally settled at two thousand five hundred taels, few people spoke anymore.
The two thousand five hundred taels were exactly what Zhao Jincheng shouted out. He looked at everyone with pride, thinking that he had won the victory and he wanted to look up at the sky with his nose raised.
The madam thought the price was about right and was about to speak happily when she heard someone shout from the upstairs box, "Three thousand taels!"
The people downstairs were in an uproar, all looking at Zhao Jincheng gloating, and curious about who was the tough guy upstairs, who would spend three thousand taels to buy a night of passion!
Zhao Jincheng felt that he had been patient twice, but he was slapped in the face the third time. The people upstairs clearly wanted to make enemies with him!
He was so angry that he jumped up and down, shouting, "Who's that upstairs? Why are you hiding? Do you have the guts to show yourself? You dare to step on my face to climb up, do you really think I'm easy to bully?"
The box upstairs was quiet for a while. Just when Zhao Jincheng thought that the people upstairs were scared and wanted to press the issue a few more times, the door of the box opened and a middle-aged scholar walked out.
The middle-aged scholar fanned himself and said nothing, but the sharp-eyed people downstairs gasped and began to speak in surprise.
"It's Mr. Liu!"
"Yes, yes, it's him! The Third Prince's retainer!"
"Why is he here? I heard that he is extremely trusted by the Third Prince and is always by his side. Could it be that the person who bid just now was the Third Prince..."
The middle-aged scholar waited until everyone had finished discussing, then loudly ordered, "Prepare the best room for the distinguished guest!"
The madam was so happy that she was trembling all over and the powder on her face was falling down.
This is the prince, the prince!
As long as tonight passes, as long as the news gets out that Yue Xin has become the prince's "bride", I'm afraid countless people will line up to favor Yue Xin, secretly hoping to become the prince's "brother-in-law".
Don't even mention any taboos. Even if the prince knew about it, he wouldn't mind this alternative "sharing fun with the people." And her brothel was about to explode in popularity, directly surpassing its competitors to become the number one in Kyoto!
