Fengyue Tower has been mostly open during the day these past few days, leaving male customers who come to listen to music and have fun at night with nowhere to go.
The male customers, who were being stared at by men, paled in comparison to the ladies with their considerable spending power.
If you have a brain, you'll know which one to choose.
At first, some of the wives' husbands objected.
He said: This goes against the way a wife and mother should act.
The magistrate's wife heard these
During the banquet hosted by Magistrate Wang, he jokingly said...
"What should a wife be like? What should a mother be like? These things are not determined by women, but by you men. Anyway, my husband doesn't care about me. He just wants me to be happy and have something to do. Haven't you gentlemen noticed that things have been much more peaceful at home lately?"
Upon hearing this, everyone present
Too
After the person at home has something to do
They don't care about taking concubines anymore.
They're just not allowed to visit brothels anymore.
Isn't it much more comfortable to have all those complicated and messy affairs in the inner quarters right in front of you?
Besides, even if I don't let my wife go...
Will they just stay home obediently?
The lady was in charge of all the household affairs.
They hardened their hearts
Even her own man's source of income was cut off.
Several wealthy families had their concubines and wives quarreling together.
She even scratched several red marks on her own husband's face.
Thinking of this scene
never mind
Go if you want
Logically speaking, without the competition from Fengyuelou, Fanghualou, one of only two establishments in the county, should have a much better business.
But no, it was certainly better than before, but those wealthy gentlemen who were willing to spend lavishly still didn't come.
The madam of Fanghua Tower was furious. She had been burning aphrodisiac incense in the tower, so that any man who came would never leave her tower, but no one came at all.
People
Whenever jealousy arises
It will become unrecognizable
"Fanghua, I heard that a young master from a wealthy family has come to the capital. He also has an official position and is currently staying at the home of the prefect of the border town. Why don't you go and try your luck there?"
If we compare Chunying, the courtesan of Fengyue Tower, to a peony in full bloom in summer, or a red fox in a silver field in winter, then Fanghua, the courtesan of Fanghua Tower, is like a datura in a miasma forest, or a green snake demon in a dark and dangerous place.
"I'll do whatever my mother tells me to do."
Did she have the right to resist? The girls in Fanghua Brothel could no longer be called human beings; they were just a bunch of walking corpses, a bunch of things that only knew how to please men and sleep with them.
I really envy the cherry blossoms.
We all have the same fate.
Why can she?
Smiling so brightly
Why should I?!
Anyone can become vicious, if you've ever experienced what jealousy is.
"My dear daughter, remember to speak highly of Pingyang County to that important person! Not everyone is as magnanimous as your mother, who not only lives well herself but also remembers to travel with others."
Fanghua nodded
Fanghua Tower is not named after her name, Fanghua, but because of who was the most beautiful courtesan, and who was named Fanghua.
Here, you can't even have your own name.
"I won't forget the sisters at the brothel. I'll definitely put in a good word for that young master. Don't worry, Mother."
And so, on a dark night with no moon in sight...
Fanghua embarked on her journey to the border town.
It was cold inside the carriage.
Even though the stove has been lit
Even though she was already wearing a lot of clothes
She lifted the cotton curtain and looked back towards the direction of the brothel.
They must be asleep by now.
"Oh"
People won't always be lucky.
I don't believe it.
May you always smile so brightly
—Inside the Fengyue Tower
The magistrate's wife and Cen Ang sat facing each other.
"If it weren't for all the ladies flocking to your place these days, I really wouldn't be able to come here openly."
Mrs. Cen poured a cup of tea for her old friend and said...
Even if you don't come, your Wang Zheng will deliver a letter for you every two weeks.
Yes
The county magistrate would come to the brothel every two weeks to sit for a while and chat with Mother Cen for half an hour.
"What does he know? He can't even convey a proper message. He just wants to ask how you're doing, and every time he comes home he says you're fine."
"I'm really fine, can't you tell from my expression?"
Madam Hua ignored her. Just a few months ago, when they bumped into each other on the street, her face was as pale as hell, but today she looked much better and younger.
"Dr. Gu said the poison has been neutralized?"
"Um"
Having inquired about her old friend's health, it was time to get down to business. Madam Hua put down her teacup and said seriously.
"People have been sent from the capital."
"oh?"
"Wei Ci, the son of the Minister of Rites"
"Is that Wei Ci, the good-for-nothing who abducted a woman and got his leg broken by his master?"
"Um"
"Come in vain?"
"Oh"
Madam Hua scoffed.
"How could that be? His Majesty has granted me an official position."
Mrs. Cen frowned, looking wary.
"Why did His Majesty send him here?"
Madam Hua glanced around, then leaned down and whispered in Cen's mother's ear.
"I heard that the young master is missing. News from the Southwest Prince's Mansion says that the young master is heading towards the border town."
—Click
Cen Ang crushed the teacup in his hand into powder.
"Are all the men in the Southwest Prince's Mansion useless? They can't even keep an eye on their own young master?"
Madam Hua also looked worried.
“A few years ago, the old King of the Southwest was seriously ill. The people in the manor must have been dissatisfied with the heir. Logically speaking, the position of heir should not have fallen to the young master, but…”
Mother Cen slowly exhaled a breath of stale air and said...
"Luan'er, go back and have Wang Zheng keep an eye on things. If Wei Ci makes any move, send me a message immediately."
After saying that, she arranged for a young woman to come in and apply a facial treatment to the magistrate's wife.
