In the end, the mother agreed to Jin'er's request, mainly because the girl was to her liking and her appearance was rare.

Beauty is always qualified to make conditions, and she doesn't want anything, so he comes in to earn money for nothing. This is a good thing that you can't find with a pole!

"Is there something wrong with your mind?" Yan'er asked leisurely.

She has never seen anyone take the initiative to send her to a brothel. Even though she didn't mind it very much, she was forced to come here in the first place. If she could live a good life outside, how could anyone be willing to send her to a brothel?

Came from a place like this.

"There's something wrong with your mind!" Jin'er said rudely.

"If there is nothing wrong with you, why do you come to Chunfeng Tower? Isn't it good to be outside? Then you are still free."

"What's better? At my age, I don't know anything. I found a job some time ago, washing dishes in a restaurant, which paid me twenty taels of silver a month. In the winter, the water was freezing cold, so I only worked for two days.

My fingers were frozen. Do you think this is a good job? Or do you think I can find other good jobs?" Jin'er asked.

When she saw that Yan'er had stopped talking, she continued.

"It's great to come to Chunfeng Tower. I can eat delicious food and drink spicy food. I can also wear nice clothes and apply rouge and gouache. I only need to dress myself up beautifully every day. No one has asked you to take care of me, so you don't have to."

What's wrong with being forced by life?" Jin'er asked.

"But this brothel is not as simple as you think. Mom is a nice person, but she can't allow you not to sell yourself for a long time." Yan'er said with a frown.

Apart from being a bit boring, there is really nothing bad about life here. At least the food, clothing, housing and transportation are of the highest quality. However, the disadvantages cannot be ignored. They have to receive different guests. Except for the particularly unbearable ones, the rest of them are...

Silver can come in.

She doesn't like to be competitive, but she also strives for the reputation of an oiran, that is, so that she doesn't have to accept guests that she really doesn't want to receive. The reputation of an oiran always allows her to have more choices.

"I'm different from you. I didn't sign a deed of prostitution, which means I'm still free. And if I have to sell myself, then I have the right to choose someone who pleases me, right?" Jin'er said with a smile.

"You...you are really different, and you are not afraid of those people calling you a coward behind your back? Or there are even worse words..."

Yan'er's eyes were a little dim. Although she had a free and easy temper, she had indeed been scolded by others, and those unpleasant words were really hurtful.

"What am I afraid of? I don't go out very often, and I don't have any relatives in the world anymore. Who else can I be afraid of?"

When this was mentioned, Yan'er always felt guilty. She really felt that she was wrong. After all, Zhang Li's death was still related to her.

"Your father's death, I..." Yan'er said hesitantly.

"Don't - I don't want to mention this matter again. I don't blame you, but I can't deny that this is indeed your reason, so don't mention it again." Jin'er said indifferently.

"Okay, then while you are here, I can always take care of you to a certain extent. I can also say a few words, and I will protect you to a certain extent."

"Thank you very much. I have a bad temper. Please take care of me from now on." Jin'er smiled brightly.

"Look at you, you made this brothel look like a river and lake." Yan'er also laughed.

From then on, Jin'er settled in Chunfeng Tower. She loved dancing, and her mother thought she was extremely talented, so she hired a powerful master to teach her. Jin'er also studied hard.

The mother was really smiling from ear to ear. In just two years, Jin'er became a well-known courtesan. This courtesan could charm the whole world with her dancing and her appearance was astonishingly beautiful.

When it became a household name, the neighbors naturally knew where Jin'er originally lived.

"What a sin. A good girl ended up in a brothel!"

"Isn't it? It really can't be done without my parents. This girl... it's such a pity."

Everyone around her felt embarrassed and pity, but Aunt Zhang only felt shocked and angry.

"What happened to this girl? She left without saying a word, and told me that there was a good place to go, and this was a good place to go? I had to ask her, was she abducted to that kind of place, or was she herself?

Go!"

As a neighbor, Aunt Zhang has also watched this girl grow up. She was still young when she came here, and her Zhenniang was on good terms with that girl. There was no way she would ignore her after hearing this.

Aunt Zhang had some sense of loyalty in her heart, but she spent a lot of time and some money before she met Jin'er.

"Girl Jin'er, tell Auntie how you got here! Is there something unspeakable? If you don't want to, Auntie will definitely rescue you!"

After not seeing each other for two years, Aunt Zhang almost didn't recognize Jin'er's appearance. She really didn't dare to recognize this beautiful woman.

"Thank you Aunt Zhang, but I don't have anything to hide. I came here on my own and no one forced me."

Jin'er was actually very touched. After not seeing each other for so two years, Aunt Zhang actually spent a lot of effort to find her. Unfortunately, she must be disappointed. She was not forced, she came willingly.

"You...what did you say?" Aunt Zhang said in shock.

She was really stunned. Could this girl be stupid? How could she come on her own initiative?

"It's true. No one forced me. I came here voluntarily. Auntie, please go back! From now on, there will be no such person as Jin'er..." Jin'er choked up.

"Okay, okay, you have made a difference, how can you be worthy of your mother!" Aunt Zhang said angrily.

To tell the truth, Aunt Zhang wanted to beat Jin'er until she woke up.

"Auntie, you think I'm dead. I covet this glory and wealth and don't want to suffer outside..." Jin'er said, biting her lip.

Aunt Zhang left angrily in the end, and said that she would not be like Jin'er in the future and would not come to see her again.

Jin'er only thinks it's good. She is in Chunfeng Tower, and the people who have contact with her must feel embarrassed. Aunt Zhang'er and her family should have no contact with her.

Zhenniang learned about this from her mother. She was surprised and a little curious. She wanted to go see Jin'er.

As a girl, she didn't have the courage to go to a brothel. It wasn't until a year later that Jin'er had enough money to buy a house in the town. When she had nothing to do, she would stay there for a few days. Anyway, she was very relaxed and comfortable.

.

Zhenniang also found out by chance, so she mustered up the courage to meet Jin'er.

But when they met, Zhenniang felt that Jin'er was glamorous and did not have the frivolity of a brothel girl. Moreover, Zhenniang did not look down on Jin'er at all, but felt a little envious in her heart. Such a carefree life was really interesting!

Jin'er didn't have many playmates, and she didn't say anything about Zhenniang's occasional visits. As long as it didn't affect her reputation, it didn't matter.

But Zhenniang was still discovered by Aunt Zhang, who scolded her severely and forbade her to go to Jin'er again, lest Zhenniang, a girl who had not yet left the court, would become a bad example.

After that, Zhenniang didn't go there very much. She was also afraid that if she saw too much or listened too much, she would not be able to control her own thoughts.

Now that she encounters such a difficult situation, the first person she thinks of is Jin'er.

After staying in the brothel for so many years, she must have learned everything she should learn. Now that she encounters such a thing, she must not be able to tell others, so she can only come up with ideas.

Jin'er only went by occasionally, so Zhenniang kept an eye on her, and when Jin'er passed by, she went to look for her.

"Hey, what a rare visitor!" Jin'er said with a smile.

It is indeed a rare visitor. She has not seen Zhen Niang a few times in the past two years. She can understand it. After all, she is an innocent girl and it is difficult to associate with a brothel girl like her.

"Don't laugh at me. How are you doing during this time?" Zhenniang asked.

"Of course it's good, how about you? How are you doing? You are also sixteen this year. Have you discussed getting married?" Jin'er asked.

It is definitely impossible for her to get married, but ordinary girls are almost married when they are sixteen or seventeen years old, but seeing that Zhenniang is still a girl with a bun, that means she is not married.

"I'm doing well, and I haven't discussed marriage yet..."

When it came to discussing the marriage, Zhenniang was a little hesitant. Jin'er had been in Chunfeng Tower for so many years and had learned a lot about observing people's emotions.

"What? Are you having a problem with the marriage proposal? If you don't mind, you can tell me. One more person will always give you more ideas." Jin'er said.

"I didn't mind. I wanted to ask you originally. It's not that there was a problem with the marriage proposal, but that I didn't want to discuss the marriage at all." Zhenniang said, biting her lip.

Jin'er looked at Zhenniang's expression and knew it, and smiled.

"Do you have a husband you like? Whose family?" Jin'er asked.

She may not know anything else, but she still knows a little about the men in this town, unless they are people with no reputation at all.

"I...I fell in love with a teacher. His name is Liu Yu'an, a teacher from Xitou Academy." Zhen Niang said with her head lowered.

It would have been impossible for her to say it to anyone else, but Jin'er was different, maybe because of her status, or maybe because Zhenniang was her only childhood friend, so it wasn't difficult to say it.

"I really know something about this person. He was a graduate a few years ago. I heard he got a good ranking. He went to the capital to be an official, but he came back two years ago and opened a school. It's quite strange.

"A person, you're talking about him, right?" Jin'er asked.

Sometimes when she was drinking with guests, she would hear some gossip, and it was quite secret gossip. She couldn't remember all of it, but she still knew about Liu Yu'an. Firstly, it was because he resigned from his job and came back to work.

A teacher, and what's more, he is a well-known and good-looking man in the town.

Others may not know it, but the sisters in Chunfeng Tower all know it, in this town! There is a ranking list, one for women, and one for men, and they are also based on family background, knowledge and appearance, so

Appearance must come first.

Liu Yu's name is very high in the list. One is that he is knowledgeable, and the other is that he has outstanding appearance.

"It's him..." Zhenniang nodded and admitted.

"You have good taste, so if you like it, go for it! Or do you have any other questions?" Jin'er asked.

"No matter our family background, status, or even appearance... I am not worthy of him..." Zhen Niang said in a low voice.

"Hey! What's the reason? If you are a man, it would be a little difficult to marry such a woman, but you want to marry him, so what does it matter? You are also very good, there is nothing unworthy of him

." Jin'er comforted.

"Actually, I worked hard for it and thought I could get it. After all, he lives very close to my home. It's okay to get the first-come-first-served position if you're close to the water or the terrace..."

"Yes, isn't it right to think so? So what? Did you encounter any problems?" Jin'er asked.

"I accidentally discovered that he has never gotten married because he has a woman he likes, and that woman is a married woman!" Zhen Niang said through gritted teeth.
