Following the direction of the crowd, Zhou Yu soon saw a graceful woman.
The woman was dressed in a white mink fur coat and looked elegant. The oil-paper umbrella in her hand was held a little low, and she was wearing a veil, which made people look down on her appearance.
But even so, the tourists at the scene were still very sure that this woman was the most beautiful courtesan in Pingkangfang.
After all, this figure and temperament are incomparable to those of ordinary women.
But just as the crowd of onlookers approached, they were stopped by a group of maids around the woman.
If it were placed in modern times, such an obstacle would be broken up in minutes.
However, in the Tang Dynasty, which had never seen the madness of the entertainment industry, those curious tourists actually stopped in their tracks.
"Is this really an Oiran? Why does she look a little different?"
"Have you ever seen what the courtesan in Pingkangfang looks like?"
"That's not the case. The courtesan is usually high and mighty, so how could I possibly approach her?"
"I've had the good fortune to meet her from afar. Judging from her figure and temperament, she must be an otome."
"Really? So the oiran also likes to go to temple fairs. I'm going to brag about it to my friends when I get back."
"We'll talk about going back later. I heard the curfew is lifted during the temple fair. After visiting the temple fair, let's go to Pingkangfang and have some fun together."
"Why wait until after the temple fair? Why don't we go now?"
"Haha, even in a brothel, you need to have common topics to talk about. Today's temple fair is so lively that even the most famous courtesan from Pingkangfang has come in person. If we don't find out for ourselves, how are we supposed to respond when the girls start talking about it?"
"That's quite true. We're not only going to go shopping, but we're also going to buy some new and interesting things. As gifts, I'm sure they'll be just as good as that perfume."
"Hehe~ It seems like you want to be the guest of honor..."
…
The crowd was talking one after another. Although no one attacked the courtesan, they did not give way either.
For a moment, the woman who was recognized as the most beautiful courtesan was surrounded by everyone.
Fortunately, the temple fair guards reacted quickly.
In just a short while, a team of golden-armored warriors rushed into the crowd.
Immediately afterwards, the woman who was recognized by everyone as the oiran hurried away in a luxurious carriage, escorted by warriors in golden armor.
Seeing this, countless men's faces were filled with disappointment.
It was not until someone sneaked into the temple fair that the others remembered what they had just discussed.
So, in the surprised eyes of the women, the group of men rushed to the stalls in the temple fair without hesitation, as if the silver in their hands was picked up.
In response to this, the vendors who had received training in advance did not show any sign of panic.
Not only are they skilled in collecting payments and giving change, but they also provide service with a smile from beginning to end.
This kind of shopping experience that is like being bathed in spring breeze, coupled with the fact that they are spending things that are like chips, makes these tourists unconsciously become generous.
Many people only tried to exchange some chips for the first time. After spending them, instead of stopping immediately, they ran to the exchange office to exchange them again.
This resulted in the workload at the exchange office remaining high, and even a number of staff were temporarily added during the process.
When Li Er saw the copper coins and silver piled up in bamboo baskets, his mouth almost stretched to his ears with excitement.
Just as the crowd surrounding the courtesan had dispersed, he came quietly over in casual clothes.
As soon as they met, he couldn't help but pat Zhou Yu on the shoulder and said excitedly: "Boy, we've made it, we've really made it. From the opening to now, we've already recovered all our investment."
"Haha~ Don't be anxious, let the bullets fly for a while."
Zhou Yu first used a wet tissue to wipe the candied haws from the corner of the little boy's mouth, and then answered calmly.
Upon hearing this, Li Er felt that Zhou Yu was a bit pretentious, but when he thought about the money he could potentially earn, he nodded in agreement.
He glanced around and saw that no one was paying attention. Then he came closer and asked, "When did you find the Oiran? How come I didn't even know about it?"
"Oiran? What Oiran? Who hired the Oiran?"
In response to Li Er's questioning, Zhou Yu denied it three times in a row.
Hearing this, Li Er's eyes widened immediately, "Boy, that woman just now, could it be a knockoff?"
"Who knows? We only said there would be talented men and beautiful women coming, but we didn't say there would be an Oiran. Whether that woman is the Oiran of Pingkangfang or not, it has nothing to do with us. Don't forget, our temple fair is a royal property."
Zhou Yu said this and winked at Li Er.
When Li Er heard this, his eyes almost rolled to the sky.
Good boy, isn't this the legendary "having it all"?
But the effect is really immediate.
Who would have thought that just letting a seemingly "courtesan" take a turn could make those guys spend money so crazily.
Just as Zhou Yu and Li Er were whispering, the little kid in his arms also finished eating the candied haws.
The little girl first looked at her father, then looked at Zhou Yu, and then said in a baby voice: "The oiran is so beautiful, I want to be an oiran too~"
Zhou Yu: ???
Li Er:!!!
