Chapter 114 Pregnancy (1)
Many girls are sent to the Sanfu troupe every day. Some of these girls are still very young, while others are already old and ugly. But once they are sent in, it means that they have almost no way out for the rest of their lives. What awaits them is deep despair and a bleak ending.
The same is true today.
Two pretty little girls were thrown in. Among the group of haggard and withered women, they were like two tender green onions, feeling out of place here.
"I don't think they need any more grooming." The mother, with her face full of flesh, gave them a critical look. "They're both pretty and tender, but I don't know how long they can last. Anyway, let's take them to the tea room."
The two little girls were already trembling with fear. They were none other than Yanmei and Shuibi, who were ordered by Ren Wanyun to be sold to a ninth-class brothel.
Yanmei and Shuibi had served Shen Qing since they were young. They were considered the most respectable of the maids, and had never suffered any hardship. Now, all they saw along the way were scenes of hell on earth, and they were already so frightened that they couldn't even cry. And their mother's words shattered their only hope. She said, "Watch them carefully, don't let them commit suicide."
If they can't commit suicide, they can only be like those low-class prostitutes, receiving customers every day. Thinking of this, Yanmei and Shuibi couldn't help but feel dizzy.
Outside the Sanfu Troupe, a young man was approaching. He looked quite young, and his demeanor didn't suggest a laborer. The girl at the door said, "Young man, have you taken the wrong road? This is the Sanfu Troupe. The buildings and pavilions are located above."
The implication was that, given his status, he wouldn't come to this place even if it meant seeking pleasure. This was a place only the poorest of people came to.
"What's the point of that?" The young man lowered his voice and asked, "Are there any new girls here?"
The woman at the door was startled, then understood. This person had probably never been to a lower-class troupe before and was looking for something new. That wasn't surprising. Rich families always had all sorts of entertainment, and the price of playing at the Sanfu Troupe was affordable, so anyone could afford it. She smiled and said, "This young man has come at the right time. Two new maids have just arrived today. They're the servants of the official family who made mistakes. They used to be with the official's daughter. They're very pretty, but the price is a bit higher."
"Take me to see it." said the man.
The leading woman took the young man into the tea room.
The reason why Sanfuban was considered the lowest-class brothel was not only because it was populated by laborers, but also because the girls were very cheap. It only took a cup of tea, and if the girls were skilled and spoke softly, they could get the customers to pay for a plate of dim sum, which was quite a feat.
But generally speaking, the guests who come here will only order a pot of tea. Firstly, the girls are unwilling to spend the effort, no matter how much money they offer, they will not share a word with them. Secondly, most of the guests who come here are stingy and are not willing to spend an extra penny.
Today, however, the young man ordered a pot of tea and a plate of dim sum, which was considered quite generous for the Sanfu troupe. The woman who led the way quickly asked someone to bring in the two little girls.
Yanmei and Shuibi were forced to change into thin gauze clothes and came to the teahouse with a feeling of humiliation. They were both shivering in the autumn weather; clothes were not enough to keep out the cold, and they were also very scared.
The woman who led the way saw the arrival of the young man and said to him in a flattering tone, "Young man, enjoy your tea. I will withdraw first." As she passed Yanmei and Shuibi, she said in a threatening tone, "Serve this master well."
