Quite a few people noticed the Spring Brothel s at the side after they heard that person's words. Logically speaking, whoever the brothel boat opened the door were fighting to get it, hoping to be ahead. However, this fellow was extremely patient, and had not made a move even now.
The most eye-catching thing about the brothel was that there was an unwritten tradition of brothel boat being dressed in a hundred flowers at the same time. But the third floor of this Spring Brothel brothel boat was filled with pink apricot flowers. Amongst a group of colorful brothel boat, it was exceptionally eye-catching.
Speaking of this Spring Brothel, even though it had been rooted in the capital for quite a few years, it was not warm at all. It was as if there had never been any famous girls, and no brothel boat had appeared during the first two years. This year's appearance was particularly special, and it was even more eye-catching than the two beautiful ladies at the side.
"He didn't oversleep, did he?"
"How can I oversleep when it's such a big thing to open the door to welcome guests?"
When the spectators were discussing amongst themselves, the Spring Brothel's door finally opened. A bawd walked out of the house and pulled a little girl who was still skipping out.
He didn't say anything though. He cleaned up the area in front of the brothel boat, then placed a stool on the deck and sat on it.
The two brothel boat s on both sides were trying their best to recommend their young lady because of their business, causing the Mommy Chun's throat to turn hoarse. However, the Spring Brothel beside them had obviously woken up late, and their reputation was not as big as the two previous families, but they still lazily ignored them, as though they were carrying on with their business. Who wouldn't be angry?
The old procuress seemed to be very young, at most in her early thirties. She was different from the Mommy Chun, who seemed to be leaning on the deck chair, and did not even raise her head compared to the numerous onlookers on the pier. She tidied up a pot of lilies in front of him. She instructed the girl beside him.
"Bring me a bowl of brine pig's feet …"
"Huh?" The little girl was called Xiao Cui'er. After just a few days, her mother had passed away, and the only other father was now seriously ill, so she had no choice but to sell herself. She changed some money so that his father could keep some for treatment.
However, even though she was too young and had gone to several wealthy families to look for work, no one was willing to take her. Said she was too young to do any work.
No one paid any attention to her, even though she kept saying that she had been caring for her sick father for years and that she could do anything. She later heard that someone wanted her to go to the brothel and give it a try. The girls there can work there at all ages.
It was the most bustling street in the east side of the city, where many brothels were densely packed. It was the first time for a young lady to visit such a place, but she was already frightened senseless the moment she stepped onto the street.
"Uncle Li, you haven't come to the Flower Fragrance Market to see the clouds for some time." Have you forgotten about me? " A red-clothed female was originally only standing upright at the store's entrance. As if she had suddenly seen something, Xiao Cui'er only felt a red cloud float past her eyes. Although its color was beautiful, its speed and explosiveness was like a tornado that swept past. It quickly and accurately attached itself to a chubby man in the middle of the street.
The man's eyes were extremely small, and it seemed like he had to work hard to see who the person in front of him was.
"Oh, so it's Yunyun. I still have some matters to attend to today, so I'll come to see you in two days. "
The man said that he had business to attend to. While pushing the woman in red out, his other head was already moving in all directions. From afar, he could see a girl dressed in yellow standing at the top of Fragrant Pavilion. The man laughed until his eyes became slits.
Obviously, the two of them had agreed to meet.
Even a blind person could tell, how could the woman in red not know? However, she did not let go of the man, and continued to cling onto his body like an octopus. As he pouted, he changed from his previous valiant attitude to the one that sounded so sweet that it almost melted one's heart.
"Master Li ~"
That ending sound trembled as it dragged on for an extremely long time. If one could use a ruler to measure it, it was likely that the length would be able to create several new sets of clothes. Xiao Cui'er trembled, and clearly felt goosebumps all over the ground.
"Master Li!" She called out a few times, but her hands weren't idle either. She began to wrap her arms around the man's neck, and her lips were so close that they almost touched his face. The man was instantly stunned. His gaze no longer wandered around but gradually gathered on the woman called Yun Yun in front of him. Then, as if a spell had been cast, she was lured into the woman in red's workshop.
When the yellow-clothed woman from the Fragrant Pavilion saw this scene, she ruthlessly stomped her feet. She seemed to think that the ground was the face of the red-clothed girl and cursed a few times.
"Stealing my business, you really are quite capable, just you wait …"
Xiao Cui'er was far away, of course she wouldn't be able to hear what she had said, she could only see her beautiful face revealing a ferocious expression, and was completely shocked.
Just as he stepped into the Flower Street, he ran out in fright.
But as soon as she left the room, she stopped again … Daddy is still lying on the sickbed. If I don't sell myself for some money, what will daddy do?
As she thought of this, she felt her heart tighten uncomfortably. Tears began to fall from her eyes.
"Little girl, did you lose yourself or get lost?"
A soft, yet warm voice rang in her ear. She slowly raised her head. There was a woman in front of her. Her figure was graceful and her voice was young, but her face was covered by a pink veil, making it hard to see what she looked like.
Lost or lost? These two questions seem to be pretty much the same...
"I, am fine, I can find my home." Although he felt that the woman wasn't a bad person, he still felt a little wary of strangers.
"Why are you crying here if you can find a home?" Did you have a fight with your parents at home? "
Even though she was concerned about him, but Xiao Cui'er felt terrible listening to her. Her father was lying on the sickbed, and he didn't even have the strength to talk anymore.
As for his mother … She hadn't even seen her mother before …
Thinking of this, her tears couldn't help but fall onto the ground.
"Don't cry, aiya …"
When the woman saw that the child was crying even harder, she began to worry. She felt around for a handkerchief. In the midst of the panic, the gentle breeze blew her veil up slightly. Naturally, Xiao Cui'er was able to see her appearance under the veil, and his mouth instantly gaped wide, as though she couldn't close it …
She had never seen such a beautiful woman before. For a moment, a thought popped into her mind: "Is this woman a human?" How can a human be so good-looking? They must be deities, right?
He didn't feel like he had shouted it out while he was in a daze …
"Elder sister goddess …"
The woman finally found a handkerchief and stuffed it into Xiao Cui'er's hands …
It was a soft and soft silk that Xiao Cui'er had never touched before. There were two fine flowers embroidered on it, it was extremely beautiful. In that instant, she had an extremely powerful feeling. She wanted to see what the figure under the veil looked like, but the wind had already stopped.
"If you quarrel with your family, then go home and explain yourself." If you have any more difficulties, tell me, I will definitely help you. "
Xiao Cui'er was still hesitating in her heart. How could she be so good?
The woman just held her hand and walked home, talking to her as they walked.
"My father is sick. I don't know how to save him …" Under her questioning, she finally managed to carefully speak out her inner thoughts.
The lady seemed to agree with him and nodded, she started to rummage through her pockets, and after a while she pulled out a hairpin, and handed it over to Xiao Cui'er.
"I don't have any money for now, but I can exchange for some." She spoke extremely happily, as if she did not consider the Chai Zi to be a hair ornament that could make her look beautiful. Just how much silver?
Xiao Cui'er held the bamboo shoot in her hand and looked it over. The workmanship was extremely exquisite, it was small and silver, with a round and bright pearl inlaid on top. It should be worth a lot of money, but for Xiao Cui'er, she had never seen so much money …
For a moment, she felt that the hairpin in her hand was a bit hot and she quickly shoved it into the woman's hand.
"It's too, too precious. My father can't afford to spend that much money to treat patients …"
That woman actually laughed lowly at her appearance.
"Then take it as well. This illness is like a landslide, and going away is like drawing silk, understand? Your father will need to rest for a long time after he finishes his treatment, so you should treat this chaste as a treat, change some money, and buy him some delicious food. "You should eat some too. You look so small, so you should grow some meat as soon as possible …"
Only then did Xiao Cui'er put the hairpin back in her arms, and once again, she raised her head to ask the big sister.
"Elder sister, what's your name?" But where? It will be easier for me to return the money back to you. "
The woman laughed again when she heard this
"Don't, if you don't have enough money, you can come find me. I've been living in the Spring Brothel, my name is Du Yueyao …"
Du Yueyao... Xiao Cui'er silently recited these words, firmly memorizing them in her heart.
She already felt less sad. It was as if her life wasn't always filled with disasters, poverty, and hardships. After all, she had met a godlike elder sister …
Half a month later, a tiny figure appeared outside the Spring Brothel. The old procuress Lan Xiao asked her what was the matter and she was initially afraid when she passed through a whole flower street and saw the girls fighting for the right to be rid of each other. However, when she arrived at the Spring Brothel of a brothel, she suddenly felt calm in her heart.
The old procuress, Lanxiao, was not a good-natured owner. She was in her thirties and originally had a boyish personality. She was also the daughter of a wealthy family in Suzhou. However, she was naturally lively and loved to mingle with boys. The Suzhou woman was gentle as water, but she had a fiery temper every day and loved to hang out outside. The young miss of the Lan family had a bad temper … The news spread like wildfire. It was as if a drop of clear oil had dripped into a bowl of clear water and quickly spread out. that made her twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old and a real old maid.
Thus, she decided to just leave it at that. She threw all kinds of things in her room and swore in front of her father.
"I'm not marrying, I'm not serving …"
He quickly carried the bundle on his back and left. After sneaking to the capital, he had no intentions of staying here any longer. One day, he suddenly had a strange idea and placed the Spring Brothel.
She had a toothpick in her mouth and was extremely impatient with the weak voice of the young girl in front of her …
"To whom?"
At this moment, the little girl suddenly spoke clearly to her with great courage …
"I'm looking for Du Yueyao!"
