Then he looked at Ji Yunxi beside him.
Ji Yunxi held the teacup and looked at the stage in front of her with a calm expression.
She took a sip of the fine Mingqian Longjing tea and watched the woman on the stage singing with tears in her eyes. Her voice was filled with tears, sad and mournful, and she felt pity for her.
But even after the song was finished and someone at the table made a bid, Ji Yunxi remained unmoved.
This crucian carp and tofu soup went from steaming hot to cool, but Wu Weian never saw Ji Yunxi eat more than a few bites.
She is a picky person.
The extremely expensive crucian carp and tofu soup at Yihongyuan was just average.
And she is not only picky with her words, but also with her eyes.
The crucian carp and tofu soup was cold, so she bought three girls.
Anyone who could enter Yihongyuan was not bad in appearance and figure. But when standing on this stage, everyone's performance was different.
There were those who cried, those who sang incoherently, and those who cowered in fear. Ji Yunxi didn't want any of them.
Some have already accepted their fate, with no light in their eyes. Ji Yunxi didn't want it either.
There were those who were smug, charming and seductive. Ji Yunxi looked down upon them even more.
The three girls she bought were standing upright on the stage, just like everyone else, dancing and singing, but there was resentment and fire in their eyes.
Maybe just a handful of grass can start a prairie fire.
The last one is naturally the girl in green curtain that everyone is looking forward to.
Wu Wei'an met him in Jiangnan in his early years.
She wanders among a group of men, showing her affection and using their strength to counter theirs, yet she still manages to maintain her innocence.
He is a smart man.
But the balance will eventually be broken, and no matter how cunning the rabbit is, it will be divided up by the hunters.
Wu Weian guessed at the time that she could only last three more years at most, but he never imagined that she would actually last five years.
Five years later, she was afraid that there was no place for her in Jiangnan. However, she was smart enough to come to the capital, where she had at least a glimmer of hope.
Wu Weian looked at Ji Yunxi.
As expected, Ji Yunxi whispered something in Baofu's ear.
Qinglian is the last person, and this lively scene is about to come to an end.
Wu Weian lowered his eyes, gently put down the chopsticks in his hand, and was about to stand up when a hand suddenly reached out and grabbed his sleeve.
The five fingers of that hand were as smooth as jade, and the nails were trimmed slightly long and dyed a light yellow.
The day before yesterday, he saw with his own eyes her maids dyeing her hair, while she was lazily leaning on the beauty couch, drowsy.
After Ji Yunxi finished instructing Baofu, she turned her head and looked at him meaningfully.
Wu Weian said slowly, his tone slightly puzzled: "Yun Niang, what's wrong?"
Ji Yunxi loosened his sleeves: "It's almost over, we can go now."
Wu Wei'an hummed and stood up from the table: "Wait for me for a moment, I drank a little too much tea just now, I'll be back soon."
Ji Yunxi stood up as well: "That's perfect, let's go together. I've had quite a bit of tea too."
Wu Weian's smile froze slightly.
Ji Yunxi followed Wu Weian closely.
Even when Wu Weian went to the toilet, she would wait at the door.
The toilet in Yihong Courtyard was also magnificently decorated, but the window was locked shut, probably because they were afraid the girls in Yihong Courtyard would escape.
Finally, the two of them stepped out of the gate of Yihongyuan.
Ji Yunxi bought four girls and spent a full ten thousand taels.
Wu Wei'an treated his wife to a meal and spent a full forty-eight taels and six cents.
Ji Yunxi took the four girls to a house before returning to the Wu family.
The yard is neither big nor small, and it is also her house.
After Ji Yunxi and Wu Weian got off the car, the four newly bought girls had already gotten off the car and were waiting on the side with their heads down.
At this moment, they don’t know who their customers are, nor do they know what they will face next.
Despite this, the four of them remained relatively calm, with no tears in their eyes and no attempt to escape. Instead, they chose to wait and see.
Qinglian has experienced many ups and downs and is the oldest among the four.
She was very polite. When she heard someone get off the carriage, she bowed first and kept her eyes on the ground, not raising her head even once.
Ji Yunxi looked at them one by one, said nothing, and headed towards the door.
As she walked, her skirt fluttered and a faint scent of pine resin wafted over the air.
Everyone was stunned. Except for Qinglian, the other three looked up in surprise.
In front, Ji Yunxi climbed the stairs step by step, walking very steadily.
Wu Weian was standing beside him, touching the brocade bag around his waist from time to time, looking a little absent-minded.
As he stepped into the main hall, the absent-minded Wu Weian suddenly came back to his senses.
Inside the hall, there were four men waiting, each of them was of superior appearance, especially the one on the far left, who had a handsome face, an ethereal temperament like clouds, and his eyes were full of affection when he smiled.
At first glance, it's the look that women love most.
Although Wu Weian had never seen this person, he had heard of him.
This is on the same street as Yihongyuan. It's the famous name of the brothel at the corner of the street, Yu Yue Gongzi.
Yu Yue and the other three saluted Ji Yunxi. Their voices were clear and bright, carrying the flavor of young men: "Greetings, Third Miss."
Ji Yunxi smiled slightly: "No need to be polite."
Wu Weian suddenly looked at Ji Yunxi, his eyes full of accusations.
Ji Yunxi ignored him and turned to look at the four girls following behind her.
Qinglian also raised her head. She was extremely careful not to look directly at Ji Yunxi, but avoided her slightly, and her peripheral vision inadvertently swept over the person next to her.
She couldn't help but stare at him, her expression slightly stunned.
Wu Weian lowered his brows and played with the brocade bag on his waist without any response.
Ji Yunxi's eyebrows moved slightly, and she glanced at Wu Weian in the direction of the green curtain.
Baofu came in from outside with the indentures of eight people in her hand. She handed the indentures to Ji Yunxi.
Ji Yunxi took it, retracted her gaze, walked aside and sat down.
Wu Weian sat down as he followed. Qinglian couldn't help but follow his gaze for a while, but when he realized something, he immediately retracted his gaze.
