"Hey, gentlemen, please come in~"
Seeing this group of well-dressed young men walking to the door, the madam of Bailiyuan immediately came to greet them. But when she got closer, she found that several of them were obviously women.
"Oh, this..."
"Mom, we're here to spend money, too, you know!"
Fengming took out a gold leaf and shook it in his hand. The brothel owner naturally swallowed the next words back into his stomach obediently, took the gold leaf with a smile on his face, and wanted to go up and hold Fengming's hand, but was blocked by Tunan. The brothel owner did not care and still greeted him warmly with a smile.
"Oh, what do these gentlemen want to see today? Our girls are good at singing, dancing, playing the piano, reciting poems and composing essays."
This wasn't the first time the brothel owner had received female guests. There were always young ladies from prominent families who were curious about places like theirs and liked to disguise themselves as men to enjoy the experience. Usually, if she saw someone who didn't know any better, she would persuade them to leave. But if she encountered someone as sensible as Fengming and the others, who were protected by young men, she would play along. Furthermore, the girls in her building actually preferred to serve these female guests. Female guests were generally generous and wouldn't be as uncivilized and touchy as the male guests. As women themselves, these female guests were often more compassionate towards their female guests.
Now that she saw that Fengming was not only accompanied by male guests but also generous with his money, the mother was naturally very happy and introduced Fengming to the girls in her building with great enthusiasm.
Feng Ming was holding Feng Yuyun on his left, and Xin Wu, who was looking around hoping to see Xin Wei, on his right. He smiled and ordered, "Call the most beautiful girls in your building and prepare a room for us..." Looking around at the layout of the entire Baili Courtyard, it was somewhat similar to the teahouse they had been to. There was a stage and small tables on the first floor. It was already very lively at this time. Dongyao had a curfew at night, so going to a brothel during the day became a legitimate thing, and it was already bustling in the morning.
The second floor had a corridor with private rooms behind it. If someone wanted to see what was happening, they would have to go up to the corridor, which would expose their identities. Only the two rooms on either side of the corridor had windows facing the lobby downstairs, so they could open the windows and see the scene outside.
"Prepare your room in the corner of the corridor for me."
"Oh, Miss... Sir, unfortunately, both rooms have been reserved by other guests. How about we change you to another Tianzi room?"
"Why, your room is so pretty?"
The brothel owner was embarrassed when she heard Fengming's request. She was afraid that Fengming, the wealthy sponsor, would be angry, so she hurried to explain.
"Young Master, you may not know that those two rooms are usually not popular with guests, but for some reason they have been treated with great favor these past two days. First, a guest came yesterday and insisted on booking the room on the left corridor. He even arranged for a young guest to stay there permanently."
A few people exchanged glances. This means that Xin Wei must be in the room at the end of the left corridor.
The brothel owner didn't notice the expressions of the few people. She continued to explain while leading the way to the second floor.
"And the one on the right, you've come at a very unfortunate time. It was just booked by a distinguished guest."
"Then we can pay extra and talk to that distinguished guest about changing rooms. We'll cover his expenses too!"
Feng Xiyun generously offered the conditions, and the brothel owner was tempted when she heard it. However, thinking of the identity of the guest on the right, she still resisted the temptation of the golden leaves and had no choice but to refuse: "Alas, it is really not that I am deliberately trying to manipulate you, but it is really that I cannot afford to offend that guest." After observing the surroundings vigilantly, the brothel owner made an expression of "I am telling you quietly" and whispered to them, "That is our Second Prince of Dongyao, His Royal Highness Changqi Dajun."
Everyone: "..."
Love is the protagonist of a lively moment, why are you joining in the fun here and even stealing their room.
"Ah, I should have called that Third Young Master along earlier."
Feng Yuyun was talking about the third prince, who did not come with them to Bailiyuan. Because of his weak health, he had to rely on a wheelchair to travel. Therefore, he usually did not like to appear in front of people, let alone come to such a place of fireworks. He decided to just wait for news there.
If he were with them, they could naturally go to the room that was more convenient for watching the show, but now...
"Well, okay, then you can arrange the best room for us, one that can overlook the downstairs. I heard that this is the best place for dance performances in Mingcheng, so don't let us down."
Seeing that the brothel owner had become interested in the Third Young Master whom Feng Yuyun had subconsciously complained about, Feng Ming raised his voice to draw the brothel owner's attention back to himself.
I think if things get really noisy soon, everyone in the room will come out to watch, and they won't be noticed by anyone if they are drowned in the crowd.
"Hey, alright, gentlemen, please follow me."
The madam was originally worried that she would have to pester her to negotiate a room change, which would put her in a difficult position. However, Feng Ming and the others actually agreed to the arrangement of another room generously, and greeted everyone happily, and went to a room that was probably in the most central location on the second floor.
"Dear guests, please come this way. This room is the largest and most luxurious in my Baili Courtyard. I guarantee you will be satisfied."
The madam thought that if she praised the house more, the guests might be satisfied. However, in the eyes of these people who were used to living in all kinds of luxurious houses, this house was just ordinary and casual. Anyway, their main purpose was to watch the fun.
"Okay, this one will do. Bring us some snacks and tea, and ask a few of the prettiest girls to keep us company."
After Xin Wu finished making the arrangements, he handed several more gold leaves to the brothel owner. The brothel owner was so happy that she smiled from ear to ear and said politely, "Thank you for your expense. I hope you will give me more rewards." However, she quickly put the gold leaves into her sleeves.
"Okay, go and make the arrangements."
Su Wei's words clearly meant he was driving everyone away. The brothel owner knew what was going on and tactfully left the room, closing the door behind her. Everyone then dispersed and sat down. Soon, a pimp from the shop brought something in, and several other women came in, all with different but good looks.
"The humble ladies Xiaoxiao, Panpan, Lily, Haitang, and Qianwan greet all the gentlemen."
These women were all prostitutes carefully selected by the brothel owner. They were all top girls who only sold their skills and not their bodies. Each of them had a unique skill: Xiaoxiao was good at playing the flute, Panpan was good at dancing, Baihe was good at playing the piano, Haitang was good at singing, and Qianwan was good at playing the pipa. When they started performing, the atmosphere in the room became very lively.
