After Ji Yuan whispered this to Zhang Rui, he didn’t look back. Soon the madam behind him grabbed his fan and lifted his skirt and hurried after him. Wang Li naturally followed closely behind.
“Hey, sir, you are so strong and brisk in your steps. I can hardly catch up after just a few steps. Sir, although Miss Hongxiu is temporarily accompanying others to play the piano, the time must be almost there. I will ask you later. You go to the boat to drink tea first, hahahaha…”
Ji Yuan looked at the old woman, smiled and nodded.
“Okay, I’m sorry to bother you.”
“Hey, no trouble, no trouble!”
The madam made a smiling face and fanned herself several times faster than usual, reflecting her slightly excited mood.
Wang Lize, who was beside him, followed Ji Yuan without saying a word. After thinking about it, he must have known about what he whispered to the old bustard just now.
Of course Ji Yuan knew what Wang Li said. There was no need to guess. With his hearing, there was no way he could not hear it. However, it was considered helpful, so there was no need to expose it.
This Daxiu Building is indeed not small in terms of scale. There are many courtyards and pavilions in it, which can be regarded as the ultimate brothel business. The old madam led Ji Yuan and Wang Li all the way to the back, and in the middle of the way, he enthusiastically introduced which courtyard to Ji Yuan. What talents are the girls here good at, and which ones are good at both talent and beauty?
However, when looking at Ji Yuan, he didn’t look sideways at all, and even if he looked at it occasionally, he looked casual. The madam immediately thought that this man must be used to seeing beautiful faces, and ordinary makeup and powder would not be pleasing to the eye.
After a while, several people passed through the Daxiu Building and came to the waterside. They walked along the wooden plank road in the water on the Su River. In front of them was the Daxiu Boat in the inner courtyard.
“This gentleman, and Mr. Wang, are in front of the big show boat. The best girls in our show are all in it! Hehehe… please follow me on the boat!”
The madam waved her fan and covered her mouth gently while smiling. While leading the way, she carefully looked back at Ji Yuan. She happened to see Ji Yuan chuckle and rolled up her sleeves to follow.
This flick of his sleeve actually made the old bustard feel like he was sweeping away the dust. The bright moon in the sky was reflected in the water next to him.
To be honest, I have been in this business for a long time as a madam, and I have met countless men. This gentleman’s appearance is naturally good, and there are definitely many more handsome than him, but there is a naturalness and indifference, and a vagueness. The vicissitudes of time can be regarded as the only time she has seen in her life.
In a certain elegant room on the ship, the madam invited Wang Li and Ji Yuan to sit down and asked others to watch tea before leaving.
“You two, please sit here and enjoy tea for now. I will go to Miss Hongxiu’s attic to have a look…”
The madam stood up and left. After slowly walking out of the private room, his pace immediately quickened and he hurried towards the attic where Hongxiu was.
The elegant room is quiet, except for the guests and even the servants are just waiting outside.
Ji Yuan picked up the tea cup and smelled the tea, then drank the tea. Wang Li and Zhang Rui also sat on their knees, with the calm Sushui River outside the window.
“The smell of powder on this ship is not so offensive.”
Zhang Rui said something, then brought Wang Li’s tea cup to her nose and sniffed it, and a whiff of white air was sucked away. She was good at hiding, and with Mr. Ji’s decree, she was not afraid of the smell. Give way.
Seeing this situation, Wang Li looked at Ji Yuan Ji Yuan, took a new tea cup, poured himself a cup, and at the same time looked around at the elegant room of this big show boat.
The only time he was on the big show boat was when he was invited to write a book. After seeing the red show once, he was astonished. After talking about the book, he was toasted with a glass of wine by the red show girl and whispered to Wang Li. He said he could call her “Wan’er”.
Since then, Wang Li has become a frequent visitor to the brothel, and he thinks about Red Flower day and night. Of course, other girls in the brothel also have their own merits, and Wang Li also likes her.
“Mr. Ji…”
Wang Li said weakly, not knowing where to start.
“Mr. Wang, tell me, Ji is listening.”
Ji Yuan sipped the tea without looking at Wang Li. He reached into his sleeve with one hand and took out a book. Under this situation, Wang Li didn’t realize how awkward it was to have a book hidden in his sleeve.
“Mr. Ji, you, you say that today’s Hongxiu girl is… unclean?”
Ji Yuan turned over two pages of the book and looked for the location he saw last time. He said without looking at Wang Li.
“Whether it’s clean or not, we need to see it before we say it.”
“Mr. Ji, to tell you the truth, Wang is very attracted to Miss Hongxiu. He met Wan’er more than a year ago…After meeting Miss Hongxiu, he always felt that this woman should not live in the land of fireworks. If Miss Hongxiu is really being coerced by monsters, you…”
“I know, I know, I won’t ignore it.”
Ji Yuan said something and continued to turn the pages of the book. This is a deduction he wrote himself. Sometimes he will find it magical when he reads it again.
“Uh-huh, Wang…”
“Are you done with the surname Wang? What do you want to say? Mr. Ji, if you don’t worry, I’m already annoyed by you!”
Zhang Rui on one side choked Wang Li angrily.
Wang Li smiled awkwardly.
“Wang feels that this is actually a good opportunity to save Miss Hongxiu. A strange woman like her should have been destined to be a rich lady, but she has fallen into this…”
“Oh? Mr. Wang likes her very much?”
Ji Yuan looked at Wang Li and asked casually. The latter nodded hurriedly.
“Wang said just now that he has already fallen in love with her!”
Ji Yuan smiled, reached for the teapot and poured a cup for Wang Li, and then poured a cup for Zhang Rui, but the latter only poured out a small stream of white gas.
“Which girls does Mr. Wang usually come to Daxiulou with?”
“Uh… there are more Xiaolan and Chunfang… there will also be Xiaoya…”
“Oh…that’s it…”
Ji Yuan looks at him.
“What is it about these girls that attracts you?”
Wang Li looked agitated, and his words were somewhat hesitant.
“Just…just…very gentle…and also talented…”
“Didn’t you say Qingxin Hongxiu?”
Zhang Rui sneered from the side and Wang Li hesitated.
“This, this is different…”
Ji Yuan sighed, shook his head and looked at Wang Li. This was the first time Wang Li could really see Ji Yuan’s eyes clearly tonight.
“Mr. Wang, that’s not called love, it’s food and sex. You are just lustful…”
“Chi…”
Zhang Rui couldn’t help laughing and breathed out a breath of tea. Wang Li was stunned for a moment, so embarrassed that he hurriedly drank tea.
After waiting for more than a quarter of an hour, footsteps sounded in the boat channel outside the private room, and the madam opened the door, and the attentive voice came in impatiently.
“Hey, I kept you two waiting for a long time. Miss Hongxiu is touching up her makeup and will be here soon… uh…”
The madam walked into the room and saw that there were three cups of tea, but after thinking about it, she couldn’t figure out the reason, so she didn’t ask much, but took a soft cushion and knelt down by the tea table.
“As a courtesy, Miss Hongxiu will definitely touch up her makeup before meeting new customers. I heard that such a handsome gentleman like Mr. comes here because of her reputation. Miss Hongxiu is also looking forward to it. Oh, of course, Mr. Wang’s We already know the talent…”
Ji Yuan didn’t reply. He took a teacup, put it down, and personally poured a cup of hot tea for the old woman.
This move not only did not make the madam feel that Ji Yuan had lowered his status, but instead made him feel flattered.
“Thank you sir!”
Ji Yuan just nodded and continued to turn the pages of the book, but at this moment, his hand suddenly stopped moving.
“Huh?”
“Mr. Ji, what’s wrong?”
“Mr. Big, what’s wrong?”
Zhang Rui and the Madam asked Ji Yuan almost at the same time. The latter frowned, shook his head, and looked at the Madam.
“Miss Hongxiu is touching up her makeup?”
“Yes, yes!”
At this moment, the madam finally saw Ji Yuan’s eyes clearly. When they were half-opened, they turned out to be a pair of blue eyes. There was no sense of turbidity, and they were clear and smooth, like an ancient well, without any ripples.
“Sir, can you give me some advice?”
The madam asked subconsciously.
“It’s okay!”
Ji Yuan smiled and turned the page again to read. Just now, the extremely special demonic aura was rapidly fading. Now, it has become vague and almost inaudible.
You must know that Ji Yuan’s sense of hearing, smell, and some aspects of vision are all extraordinary. He can detect human colors and smell dust. At such a close distance, he appears in front of someone else. This kind of change can be regarded as the first time.
Soon after, the light footsteps outside started again, and a particularly fresh fragrance floated into the house. A pair of soft white hands moved the door, and there was an inaudible pause when the door was opened a third of the way. For a moment.
“The little girl Duan Muwan has met these two gentlemen. Mom, my daughter is a little late!”
The Hongxiu girl entered the room and gave everyone a blessing. She walked to the table and looked at Ji Yuan and Wang Li with gentle eyes. Zhang Rui was beside Ji Yuan, but this red Xiu couldn’t seem to see her.
“Then you guys have a good chat and I’ll go out first?”
The madam asked with a smile, and after seeing Ji Yuan nod, he walked towards the door.
“Mom, walk slowly!”
Hong Xiu also said something obediently to the madam, who nodded and secretly winked at her, asking her to serve her carefully.
When the sliding door outside was closed again, the Hongxiu girl had already served Ji Yuan and Wang Li a cup of tea.
“Two gentlemen, before the little girl came, there were only three people including mother. Why were there four cups of tea? Is it reserved for the little girl?”
Hong Xiu pointed to the empty seat next to Ji Yuan and asked doubtfully.
“As expected of a popular girl, she has excellent psychological quality.”
Ji Yuan said lightly, and his blue eyes met Hongxiu’s puzzled eyes. Even the surprise when he saw the color of his eyes was very natural.
Ji Yuan opened his eyes and looked at Hongxiu calmly.
“Girl, your makeup is very good!”
Hongxiu touched her face in confusion.
“Sir, you are so complimentary… We and other prostitutes, no matter how talented they are, can’t escape the same look…”
Ji Yuan nodded, took another cup, and poured a cup of tea for the woman. The latter thanked him, covered the cup with his sleeve and drank.
“How did the Young Master Xiao know you? And why did you help him steal the news?”
Hongxiu’s hand holding the cup trembled slightly, she drank the tea and put down the cup and said in surprise.
“Sir, I know Mr. Xiao. I’m looking for Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com. He hasn’t come to see Wan’er for a long time. Although the capital is far away, but…”
“Miss Hongxiu, did Ji ever say that you are Mr. Xiao from the capital?”
Ji Yuan sneered, causing the woman in front of him to stop talking.
“Because this is Mr. Xiao that Hongxiu knows, I thought he was the one he was talking about…”
“Hehehehehe…”
Ji Yuan suddenly laughed.
“Ji once heard a friend say that there are very few people in the world who know how to paint skin. They take the lead in the way of change. Their miraculousness is worthy of scrutiny. When I saw him today, he was indeed outstanding.”
Hong Xiu clutched the cup tightly, glanced at Zhang Rui casually, and then looked at Ji Yuan with a cold look on her face.
“Who are you!”
