In April, Mommy Chun's business had long since wilted along with her boat's flowers, which were unable to afford the expensive maintenance expenses. A lot of the girls inside had already ran away. After all, the tree had fallen and the monkeys had scattered. Naturally, those girls had no feelings for her other than money. At this time, when they saw that the Na Hong Courtyard was about to disperse, they naturally packed their bags and made other plans.

Some had taken advantage of the busy season of the flower boat to find a decent man to marry into his house, and others had found a new owner who was willing to take her in. One of them even found a flower boat from the nearby Fragrant Storey and went there to make a living.

The brothel boat of the Fragrant Pavilion was originally leaning against the bridge, but the Lady Boss and the Mommy Chun kept arguing with each other. Although there were fewer guests, it was very quiet there. to let the Mommy Chun's Na Hong Yuan and to find Lan Xiao's Spring Brothel. It was just that he did not expect Lan Xiao to be such a ruthless character. Not only did the Mommy Chun not take any advantage, she was actually unable to continue doing business.

I heard that Mommy Chun has been the brothel's Madam for many years already, so she is naturally well-known in the capital. However, she has always been such a resentful person, so her business has always been tepid and calm. When the business is good, she has always kept a large amount of silver in her pocket, and when the business is not good, she is also unwilling to share it with the girls. If he could give her enough silver, he would have to keep the girl trapped in her flower tower for the rest of her life. As a result, although Mommy Chun could still be considered as someone who spoke well and had a sweet mouth, she knew all the young masters of all the families. However, in terms of business, there was no improvement that was particularly great.

However, due to her stingy personality, she had saved up quite a bit of money. Every year, she would be able to dress up her brothel boat to earn some money. It was just that this year, she was really unlucky. If she did not do good business properly, why would she keep challenging Lan Xiao? Did she really think that there was no one in the capital that she could not afford to offend?

Mommy Chun looked around, the boat was filled with broken flowers, the brothel boat s only had a few flowers that were directly planted inside the pots, but the pots were still heavy and bulky, there were too many beautiful objects on the ship, the weight was already more than the ship's, in order to reduce the weight, they would directly decorate the brothel boat's walls with flowers that would fade, and naturally need to constantly changing flowers. Meanwhile, during the past half month, the Na Hong Yuan Family's income could not support the change of flowers for a long period of time. Many of the fallen petals fell to the ground, and there was even no one to take care of them.

It was one thing if the Mommy Chun's brothel boat did not smell good, but it actually had a faint smell of corruption … At this time, Lan Xiao, who was sitting next to the woman, took out a handkerchief and pretended to cover her nose.

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk …" "It really is a joke …"

She had originally been a bold and unrestrained person, but this time she had purposefully put on the appearance of a rich and noble lady. The word 'buried' was spoken extremely slowly and deliberately, and even dragged on in a sweet and melodious tone. It made people even angrier …

The few remaining young ladies in the Na Hong Yuan School were also helpless. It was not that they did not want to leave Mommy Chun, but it was just that the contract they had signed with the Na Hong Yuan Academy was a lifelong contract. Now that she was trapped here, she couldn't even speak.

Mommy Chun was very confident, "If you guys dare to run, not only will I have to report this to the officials, I will also have to break your legs after I catch you guys and bring you back …"

They were all young girls, and normally, being bullied to the extreme by the Mommy Chun s, they were still afraid of her. He also knew that her heart wasn't incapable of doing these things. Naturally, he still fearfully stayed on the boat of the Na Hong Yuan Institution. He would occasionally open the window and look at the red flowers and green willows on the Spring Brothel next door with extreme envy. All of them looked pitiful as they were tormented by the Mommy Chun.

"He really isn't some ordinary guy who's going to bury others …"

Lan Xiao looked at the girl on the boat who looked even skinnier, and emphasized his tone of voice once again.

"None of your business." Take a good look at your boat. Do you think it's okay to have more people on board? "Be careful of the sinking …"

Although Mommy Chun was flustered and exasperated and still had that uncontrollable temper of her, she was still afraid of Lan Xiao … After all, Lan Xiao not only had a violent temper, but she could also get people on the ship whenever she wanted. She even threw her into the river last time.

Although no one died, Mommy Chun was fat, and did not sink, only gulping down a few mouthfuls of the river water. Adding to the fact that she lost the shore, he could stand up straight from the river. So she didn't really want to risk her life with her, she just wanted to humiliate her.

That time, the people around him talked about it with relish for quite a few days, and even now, the Mommy Chun still held a grudge. However, she did not have anyone with the same amount of money as Lan Xiao and she did not have the power to force him. Although she hated that woman to the bones, she could only swear to herself that if she had the chance, Lan Xiao would definitely take it all off.

Compared to the situation at the Spring Pavilion, the situation here was much better … Business was booming, and flowers were dazzling. Now it was the most attractive flowerboat on the river. Xiao Cui'er woke up early in the morning to watch the gardener replacing the withered flowers with fresh ones.

The first and second floor were no longer filled with the color and flower from before. Only the third floor and Du Yueyao's place was still filled with the first floor's apricots, and Du Yueyao had never felt tired of them either. Fortunately, the apricot blooming period was also long, from March to May. There had always been fresh and good apricot flowers.

The reputation of the Spring Brothel's apricot brothel boat and the Du Yueyao on the boat naturally became even more famous. Not only in the capital, but many people from other places had come to watch the show as well. They had given away precious jade and gold …

He said she was the wife of an apricot, or perhaps the goddess of the apricot, the Hundred Flowers Fairy … They could say anything. He had the perfect zither skill. It made people unable to stop. Almost no one was able to resist her magic, and her face was even more powerful than that of a Heavenly Immortal …

Those who were able to see her were pitifully few in number. Whether they saw her or not all depended on her mood. If she was in a good mood, she would ask Lan Xiao to arrange a table of wine, and she would accompany the guests and chat merrily. When the wine was drunk, it would play two songs to cheer them up. If she were to act rashly, she would refuse all those who came to see her. She would sleep on her apricot brothel boat without the slightest bit of affection, until the sun shined down on her three legs … He gradually went out and thought about his own matters, like a young girl in a pavilion.

Lan Xiao was not like the old procuress from Mommy Chun. She was an extremely casual person, and was extremely harmonious with a person as casual as Du Yueyao.

After all, she was still young. In this world, her happiness was of the utmost importance.

The girls stayed on the boat all day, naturally feeling depressed and flustered. Occasionally, they would travel together and stroll around the streets. Take a look at the new spring dresses, or the new jewellery from Cloud Square. Their eyes and hearts were firmly attracted by the small objects scattered across the street. They would not be able to come back until closing time. Only Du Yueyao seemed to have grown up on a boat … The sisters in the boat wouldn't be willing to go out to persuade her against it …

If Xiao Cui'er was depressed, Du Yueyao would let him follow the other sisters out. She woke up as usual, or slept until the sun had set.

However, she was still interested in the little things that Xiao Cui'er had brought back.

Lan Xiao did not care, as though she had already seen through her. She just kept bringing the good wine and meat jewelry to her to choose. With such a willful master, Xiao Cui'er was naturally trapped on the ship, busy doing what she needed to do. Everyone on board the ship could see her busy figure shuttling back and forth between Du Yueyao's room and the ground floor. Send different things, pass on messages for everyone. It was like a spinning top...

She is a diligent and likeable little girl. Even someone like Lan Xiao, who disliked children, did not reject her.

As time passed, not only did the people in the capital know about Du Yueyao's good fortune, they also knew about her servant, Xiao Cui'er. She was the one who had the most contact with the legendary woman, if she wanted to meet Du Yueyao, she would have to pass on the message to him.

In the morning, Xiao Cui'er went down to the deck, and saw that there were already many people waiting there.

"Miss Cui Er, may I ask if your young miss has time?"

"Miss Cui Er, may I trouble you to inform her that our young master came from Hangzhou to meet her." I just hope to be able to see Miss Yueyao at the first possible moment … "

"Miss Cui Er, does your young miss like the pearls of the East Sea? This was dug out by our young master from a clam shell in the East China Sea to express his sincerity towards this girl.

Ever since the brothel boat s started operating, Xiao Cui'er had long since gotten used to this scene. There were too many people who wanted to see Big Sister Yue Yao. Du Yueyao merely sat quietly amidst the apricot brothel boat, but the men outside seemed to have all been poisoned by her.

In the end, Xiao Cui'er was still somewhat frightened by this battle, and did not know how to respond in that moment. She busied herself with her own matters, went downstairs to get some water, and then returned to the third floor, and poured some for the beautiful flowers. She didn't notice that Du Yueyao had opened the window and was leaning on her forehead as she looked at her.

The protagonist of the incident, Du Yueyao, had woken up not too late today and was blinking her eyes. She looked at the flowers by the window. Those apricot flowers were still in full bloom, beautiful to the point of almost dripping water under Xiao Cui'er's meticulous care.

She sighed for no reason.

"It's already April …"

Xiao Cui'er, who was working very hard, did not expect that she had already woken up. She jumped in shock, and immediately dropped the wooden ladle that was filled with water from the third floor onto the deck. With a "pa" sound, he fell to the ground and bounced back up. Using the round side to walk around on the ground.

"Elder Sister Yueyu, you're awake?"

She remembered what Du Yueyao had said and quickly replied.

"In mid-April, sister."

Du Yueyao acknowledged. Ye Zichen couldn't tell if she was in a good mood or bad mood, but she just continued to support her forehead lazily.

"The apricot blossoms can still bloom for a few more days. By the time they wilt in May, the brothel boat's business will also come to an end …"

Xiao Cui'er listened seriously, but she did not know why Du Yueyao would mention this all of the sudden. Every year, the brothel boat business would run from March to May. When May came, it would close, and the girls would start their own businesses in their brothels.

"May …" Du Yueyao seemed to be muttering to herself, and then, she spoke in a low voice that only she could hear.

"When these apricot flowers wilt, I also want to regain my Su Zhou …"

Not long after, Lan Xiao brought up a top-quality brocade box. The brocade box was not very big, and there were some cloud flower engravings on it, making it look extremely exquisite.

It was sent up by a young master downstairs. Presumably, it was also a piece of jewellery or something similar, but he still lazily opened it up to take a look.

Du Yueyao opened the box. It was a wooden comb …

It couldn't be considered to be exquisite, but it was made of an exceptionally high quality wood. It was a top-quality fragrant wood. A clear and serene aura could be felt from it …

The comb was naturally carved with a few apricot flowers … In other words, it was more than coquettish.

Recently, the children who were able to speak all knew that there was a woman with apricot flowers in the capital. If people wanted to see her, the best gift was something related to apricots that she liked. The craftsmen in the capital had always carved peonies and Yulan … As the demand for these apricot items increased, they were all working on their own new apricot products. At first, the craftsmen only knew that the number of customers who needed to decorate the apricot flowers had increased rapidly, so they started to design new styles and designs. They didn't know why, but could it be that this year's apricot flowers were especially blooming?

Later on, he realized that all of these accessories were designed for a woman who liked apricot flowers.

All the artefacts with apricot blossoms would go up high … People couldn't help but admire this Apricot Flower Fairy's charisma.

The carving of the apricot flower in front of him was not particularly exquisite. There were not many carvings on the comb, so a single apricot flower quietly bloomed on the back of the comb. Du Yueyao was completely captivated by it.

She didn't like this comb, but it seemed like she was just staring at it …

It was as if he was captivated by the scent of the comb … But that taste isn't anything special?

After a long while, Du Yueyao regained her senses …

" "Who gave this comb to you?"
