They accidentally scared away four men who came to Chunfeng Tower to enjoy themselves. Seeing that another one was about to be scared away, He Yang and Yun Zhizhi had to use all their strength to calm the young man down.
He Yang pointed to the dolls on the stall whose cloth bags had just been unpacked and began enthusiastically promoting them:
"Young master, take a look at the dolls and figurines we sell here. They are so cute and unique."
"Let me tell you a secret, these dolls are all one-of-a-kind. You can't find these rare items anywhere else."
"How about buying one to play with your little ones at home? I guarantee they'll absolutely love it."
Chen Baian was indeed attracted by the colorful and exquisitely crafted dolls, but he shook his head and said, "I don't have any little babies to entertain at home."
He Yang continued his relentless sales pitch: "Why don't you buy one to tease your beautiful wife at home?"
Chen Bai'an's expression changed instantly: "I'm not going to tease her, it's too much of a waste of money!"
He Yang understood immediately.
It seems this young master and his wife don't have a very good relationship!
No wonder he would come to a brothel to have fun.
He Yang was still unwilling to give up so easily. Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed into his mind, and he began to deceive:
"Why don't you consider buying a faceless doll that looks like me and taking it home? Hanging it up is said to ward off evil spirits!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhizhi, who had been standing quietly to the side, quickly reached out and opened a cloth bag beside her with practiced and gentle movements.
She quickly and gently placed the faceless male doll, which she hadn't yet shown, on the table.
Chen Baian curiously stepped forward, first glancing at the small No-Face doll, then shifting his gaze to He Yang, who was tall and looked exactly like a huge, real-life version of No-Face.
His eyes widened in astonishment, and he exclaimed, "My goodness, sir! I must say, your makeup is absolutely perfect! It's exactly like the No-Face doll!"
However, he changed the subject, frowning and looking distressed: "I just don't know if this No-Face doll can ward off that incredibly fierce tigress in my house?"
"My husband is notoriously fierce and stern, otherwise I wouldn't have come all this way to seek comfort from a gentle, charming courtesan."
He Yang was taken aback, a hint of embarrassment flashing across his face, but he quickly regained his composure and responded with a dry laugh:
"Hehe, as for whether I can ward off the tigress, I really don't know."
"But one thing is for sure, this faceless doll should be fine for scaring people."
This guy is hilarious!
He thought it was chopping wood.
Do you really think dolls can cure everything?
When Chen Baian learned that a three-inch-long faceless male doll was priced at a whopping six taels of silver, he was quite hesitant.
However, after some consideration, I decided to buy it anyway, just to give it a try.
If you can't scare the tigress away, scaring her is a good alternative.
Yun Zhizhi never expected that the first doll she would sell on her first day of setting up her stall would be No-Face.
Just as Chen Bai'an was happily preparing to hand over the six taels of silver to He Yang, Cheng Jiaojin suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Just then, Qin's mother rushed out of the brothel and witnessed the imminent transaction.
In an instant, she exploded like a powder keg that had been lit.
This young master Chen is a regular at Chunfeng Tower; he can be considered one of their long-time customers.
However, at this moment, someone actually dared to compete with her for customers at the entrance of her own brothel. This was simply disrespectful!
"Young Master Chen, our Yunyun is still inside, eagerly waiting for you!"
Qin's mother shouted at the top of her lungs, her voice so sharp it seemed to pierce the sky.
Chen Bai'an, holding a bulging cloth bag, looked slightly embarrassed and quickly explained:
"Madam Qin, all the savings I've painstakingly accumulated these past few days are gone. I'll have to wait until I have more money before I come back to patronize you."
Before he finished speaking, he turned and left as quickly as if he had slipped on oil.
As the madam watched the retreating figure, Qin's anger grew ever stronger.
She turned her head sharply and glared fiercely at the two strange men who were openly stealing her business.
These two people were not only dressed in strange clothes, but their appearance was also extremely bizarre.
"You two ugly bastards who don't know your place have quite the nerve! You actually dare to set up a stall in front of my Chunfeng Pavilion and blatantly steal my business. Did you even ask for my permission?"
With her hands on her hips, eyes wide with rage, and spitting as she continued to roar, "Believe it or not, I'll send someone to the authorities to report this to the authorities right now, and you'll be in deep trouble!"
He Yang faced her without fear and retorted sharply, "Hmph, how dare you say that about me? You yourself are an absolute ugly duckling! Not just you, every single one of the courtesans in the entire Chunfeng Pavilion is an ugly duckling!"
Then, he straightened his back and said confidently, "What's wrong with us setting up a stall in this open space next to your brothel? We haven't broken any laws!"
"Even if you report it to the authorities, it will be in vain and won't do anything to us."
"Besides, the things we sell are real and tangible, and you can take them home. Can you take the things you sell home?"
"In short, what we sell at our stall has absolutely nothing to do with what your brothel sells. We earn our money through our own hard work, so why would we need your permission?"
Just now, he had taken in the jealous and envious look in Qin's eyes.
At that moment, I felt incredibly proud and exhilarated, absolutely thrilled.
Upon hearing these words, Qin, the madam opposite, trembled with rage, her eyes wide with fury. Just as she was about to retort, Jiang Baoxun, who was following closely behind her, stopped her in time.
Jiang Baoxun leaned forward and whispered in Qin's ear, "Mama Qin, I think you should stop arguing with them."
"You can't afford to offend these two people. Especially that petite girl; as far as I know, she is very likely the future Sixth Imperial Consort—Yun Zhizhi!"
Upon hearing this, Madam Qin was slightly taken aback, her face showing surprise and doubt. She asked in a soft voice, "Is what you're saying... really true?"
"It should be true. Look at that tall, strong man next to you. He is Zhao Wu, the Sixth Prince's personal bodyguard."
"The two of them, one fat and one thin, are probably Yun Zhizhi and He Yang."
Qin the brothel madam immediately backed down.
He didn't even dare to glare at them, and slipped into the Spring Breeze Pavilion in a flash.
