Chapter 34 Auntie, I'm so bored today
In a corner of Zhuque Street, the most prosperous street in the capital, Qiyun Pavilion is like a magnificent fairy palace with carved beams and painted buildings rising from the ground.
Between the flying eaves and brackets, the gilded phoenixes are lifelike, showing the luxury.
At this moment, the lights were on, and the lanterns in front of Qiyun Pavilion were as bright as stars, illuminating the entire street as bright as day.
Inside the building, the sounds of stringed instruments and the harmonious melody of zithers and harps blended with the laughter and chatter of the people. High-ranking officials and talented men wandered among them, toasting each other, chatting and drinking, and occasionally flirting with the girls beside them.
Those girls were all heavily made up, dressed up gorgeously, and looked extremely charming.
A tall dance pavilion was built in the center of the building. The vermilion railings were carved with exquisite flowers, birds, fish and insects. The table was paved with smooth white marble, which was so shiny that you could see your reflection in it.
Above the dance pavilion, the light gauze curtains flutter in the wind, creating a dreamlike atmosphere.
Several women, dressed in dance costumes as thin as cicada wings, with light bodies and delicate makeup, danced to the melodious sound of string music. Their sleeves drew graceful arcs in the air, sometimes spinning, sometimes jumping, their fair skin looming, attracting the men in the audience's hot gazes and cheers.
The reason why Qiyun Pavilion has become the largest place of entertainment in the capital is not just a reputation.
Although it is also a place of romance, the threshold is much higher than other places.
The women in the pavilion are not only outstanding in appearance, but also talented and proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Guests had to spend a minimum of one hundred taels of silver to enter the pavilion, and a glass of fine wine and a plate of exquisite snacks were also very valuable.
If you want to become a regular here, you must have strong financial resources and be able to spend a lot of money.
Because the people received here were either high-ranking officials or wealthy businessmen, and ordinary people could not enter at all. It was originally a place for nobles to watch dance and listen to music, and in fact, it was also a place for them to have fun.
Servants carrying wine and food were moving in and out of the crowd, their shouts rising and falling, making the place extremely lively.
At this moment, a woman in purple clothes walked into Qiyun Pavilion with a swaying figure.
But seeing her willow eyebrows like black, her nose like peach cheeks, and her pair of watery eyes that were charming and charming, the moment she entered, all the male guests' eyes lit up and looked at her intently.
The madam saw this from a distance, her eyes lit up instantly, and she twisted her waist like a gust of wind and rushed over:
"Hey, girl, look at your face and figure, you're like a fairy from heaven!"
As she spoke, she looked the purple-robed woman up and down with a scrutinizing gaze, and couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile:
"With this beauty, if you were to list your daughter in our pavilion, you would definitely be the top girl, making a fortune and enjoying endless wealth and glory!"
After hearing this, the woman raised her hand and gave the madam a loud slap in the face without saying a word:
"Bullshit! Who the hell said that women who go to a brothel are just there to sell themselves?"
The madam was beaten so hard that she saw stars and stumbled back a few steps. Her face turned red and white. She covered her beaten face, shocked and angry:
"You...you slutty bitch, if you're not here to sell yourself, what are you here for? Didn't you come here because you saw the notice outside the building recruiting dancers?"
The purple-robed woman raised a mocking smile, crossed her arms, and looked disdainful:
"Miao Wu's mother, even I feel ashamed to be your mother! I am so bored today that I want to go shopping at the medicine store. What can you do?"
The madam grew increasingly infuriated. "This... this is outrageous! Have the ways of the world changed? Young ladies are actually coming here to shop... Ugh! This is the largest Qiyun Pavilion in the capital. Anyone who comes here must be rich or noble. What nonsense are you talking about?"
The woman in purple rolled her eyes:
"It's the same old stuff, a chicken coop called a phoenix's nest! Okay, okay, I don't have time to chat with you. I'm just here to have fun! Can't I watch a play and listen to some music? There's no sign at the door saying women can't visit drugs shops! If men pay, I'll pay too!"
After saying that, he took out a gold ingot from his arms and threw it casually. The gold drew an arc in the air and hit the madam's face with a "pa" sound.
The madam was about to lose her temper when she looked down and saw that it was a bright ingot of gold. Instead of getting angry, she smiled. Her anger instantly disappeared and her face was full of smiles again:
"Look at my foul mouth, I can't speak, I'm sorry for offending you, young lady! You smoked well just now, very well! Okay, young lady, please go up to the second floor!"
The woman in purple snorted coldly, twisted her slender waist, and went straight up to the second floor under the scorching gazes of the men.
It turned out that the woman in purple was Manluo.
Xiao Nanyan, considering the great contributions made by Manluo and Xiyan in stealing the pearl, specially allowed her to rest for a few days.
Manluo, who had some free time, suddenly felt like going to Qiyun Pavilion to have some fun.
Everyone knows that Thousand-Faced Purple Demon never shows her true appearance, and no one knows which one is her real face under the human skin mask.
Today, she was in a particularly cheerful mood. It was a rare opportunity for her to take off her disguise, show her true face, and step into this red-light district.
On weekdays, she and Xiyan, as maids in the palace, always kept their heads down and hid themselves from everyone's sight. Few people knew their true identities.
At this moment, she was in Qiyun Pavilion, sitting on a bamboo chair in the elegant seat on the second floor, leisurely watching the dance and drinking tea.
Who would have thought that this woman with a graceful figure and sweet smile is actually a terrifying top killer!
