Sisi first took Lao Hei home. Firstly, to reassure her mother; secondly, to introduce the two of them; and thirdly, to let Lao Hei get acquainted with the area.
Feng Chan was a worldly person; she knew as soon as Lao Hei stood there that he was someone she couldn't afford.
Feng Chan prepared a lavish banquet for Lao Hei.
Sisi stayed home for a day, chatted with Fengchan, and then set off for her next goal.
Ten days later, Mama Yu of Xiangmanlou Restaurant in Lin'an Prefecture was greeting guests in the hall when she suddenly saw a chubby little girl walking in with her hands behind her back and a dignified gait.
Mother Yu laughed as soon as she saw her. "Oh my, whose daughter is this? She's quite the imitator of your father's walk. Does your father know you're here? If he knew, he'd be furious..."
Before Yu's mother could finish speaking, she saw Lao Hei.
Old Black was already intimidating-looking, rarely smiled, and was a former assassin...
Mrs. Yu couldn't help but take a step back. "Hello, hello, hello, what brings you here?"
Sisi gave Yu's mother a smile. "We're here to have fun. I heard there are many beautiful women here."
Mrs. Yu was at a loss for words. "Young lady, who is your father?"
Sisi glanced at her mother. "Do I have to tell you my entire family history just to come here?"
"No, no. I'm just afraid your father will find out I let you in to play and he'll smash this place up. This isn't a place for children."
"If you don't let me in to play, I'll smash this place up right now."
Yu's mother: "..." Where did this brat come from? "Our fees are quite expensive."
Sisi pulled a thousand-tael silver note from her pocket and slammed it on the table. "Is this enough?" She had run to the assassins' den not just to have more men escorting her goods.
Madam Yu really wanted to trick her into giving the thousand taels of silver into her pocket. But what kind of family would give a little kid so much pocket money? If it was a wealthy merchant, that would be fine, but if it was a powerful and influential person, that would be troublesome.
Seeing that she was still hesitating, Sisi decided to take the initiative. "Old Hei, go and invite all the girls in the building over."
Upon hearing this, Lao Hei immediately went to fetch someone.
Yu's mother wanted to stop them, but Sisi and Lao Hei were too nonchalant.
Soon, Lao Hei invited all the girls from Xiangmanlou to the main hall. The process went very smoothly. Sometimes, looking fierce can save a lot of trouble.
Sisi picked thirteen. "You few stay, the rest of you go down."
The girls all looked towards Mother Yu.
Mrs. Yu wanted to say, "Don't look at me, I don't know what to do either," but she was the one in charge here. "What are you all standing there for? Didn't you hear the young lady tell you to leave? Young lady, is there anything else you need?"
"Serve a table of good dishes, and some fruits and snacks."
"Yes. Would you like to go to a private room or stay here?"
"Let's stay here, it's lively here."
After sitting down, Sisi looked at Lao Hei. "These girls are all pretty good, pick a few."
Old Hei felt sorry for Sisi for three seconds. "I'm not good at this, you play by yourself."
"Alright then. Girls, what are you all good at?"
The girls hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"Miss, I am good at dancing."
"I am good at playing the piano."
"I'm good at playing the flute."
"I am good at singing."
...
Soon, everyone's attention was focused on Sisi and Lao Hei.
Because these two people are so strange!
They should be strolling among the flowers, standing there like a log, completely still.
Those who should be at home embroidering can touch this and kiss that.
Sisi spent more than two hours at Xiangmanlou. When she left, Sisi asked the thirteen girls if they wanted to come with her. If they did, she could redeem them from their servitude.
Unfortunately, none of the thirteen girls wanted to go with her; they all thought she was a bit strange.
Sisi didn't care.
After paying the bill, the two left Xiangmanlou.
Old Hei looked at Sisi with pity. "What sins did you commit in your past life that God punished you by making you reincarnate as a woman with memories intact?"
Sisi glanced at Lao Hei. "Who told you I was a man in my past life?"
"Didn't you say you were a high-ranking official in your past life?"
Are all high-ranking officials men?
"...You...you're a woman disguised as a man?"
"Um."
Aren't you afraid of being exposed?
"I'm not afraid."
"..." I think you're lying to me, but I have no proof. "Then what were you doing at the brothel?" He thought she was just there to satisfy her cravings.
"Fishing, huh?"
Fishing? Old Hei frowned. "The person you're trying to scam likes to frequent brothels?"
"Um."
"Can we find someone else to work with?" He didn't want to associate with people who frequented brothels.
"cannot."
Fine. I'll just ignore him. "Your behavior just now was nothing like a woman's."
"Your behavior just now was not like that of a man at all."
"I was just being chaste."
"I was just helping out their business."
"..." Who is this person he's working for? "How much longer will it take to catch that fish?"
After thinking it over, I said, "It will take at least two months."
That guy is different from Old Black.
Old Hei was sold to an assassin organization when he was a child. The assassins in the organization did nothing but practice their skills and kill people. They were very simple-minded.
That guy, however, was a seasoned veteran and wouldn't easily take the bait.
Sure enough, Sisi had already taken Lao Hei all the way from Lin'an Prefecture to Guangyuan Prefecture before the person she was waiting for finally appeared.
Between Lin'an Prefecture and Guangyuan Prefecture lies Changning Prefecture.
