Chapter 81: The house was stolen due to carelessness

The profession of madam is probably familiar to everyone. In countless film and television literary works...especially martial arts works, the probability of its appearance is quite high, perhaps second only to the waiter.

Generally speaking, everyone assumes that the madam is the proprietress of the brothel.

This perception... is both correct and incorrect.

In the history we are familiar with, at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, there were indeed some big bosses of "tangzi" who were the madams themselves. But going forward, the farther away we go from now, the less this happens.

infinitely close to zero.

The actual situation is that before the Ming Dynasty, as long as there was a brothel of a certain scale, its owners, or "major shareholders" were almost always men. Sometimes there was not just one boss, but several shareholders who were jointly controlled; as for the Jiaofang

Not to mention official kilns like Si's, they were the property of the imperial court.

Therefore, in most cases, the madam is not a "proprietress", but the "general manager" who is responsible for managing the brothel. They also work for the shareholders.

Right now, the "Mother Wang" that Ding Buzhu said was one of the madams of Xinghui Tower.

Since "one" is used, it naturally means that there is more than one old bustard here, and of course this is what it should be - considering the grade, scale, and high threshold of accepting guests of this Xinghui Building, one old bustard will definitely be too busy, and eight of them will be prepared.

Never too much.

A moment later, almost when Sun Huang and others were getting a little tired of drinking tea, "Mother Wang" appeared at the right time after receiving Ding Buzu's instructions.

This madam is in her late 40s this year, and her appearance and figure are of the kind that would look good no matter how young she is 20 years old. But until five years ago, she was still the number one in a small brothel in the capital.

Just because she has a rare talent - getting to know people well.

There is a kind of people in this world. Their knowledge and knowledge are not very extensive, their conversation is not elegant or humorous, and even their appearance is ordinary, but you will hit it off with them and you can chat with them.

He is very open-minded and even talks about things that he would not normally say.

This is a talent that makes no sense, an innate intimacy, but it does exist.

You may not see many people like this, or you may have never seen them, but if I talk about another opposite example, I estimate that many people have encountered them...

Most of you will have similar memories when you were young: when you were very young, you would meet a distant relative during the holidays. You don’t know why, but as long as he/she is nearby, even if he/she is just sitting there eating melon seeds, he/she will make you laugh.

You feel scared, disgusted, and don't want to get close.

And this is a kind of natural "evil look". Maybe the person's personality is nothing, but children will notice and feel such indescribable things. Of course, this perception will fade as we grow up.

Let’s get back to the topic… This “Mama Wang” was poached by Ding Buzhu with a high salary because of her innate talent.

And she can't help but test out some "targets" as the only choice.

"Hey! You gentlemen, are you still drinking tea here? Why didn't you call me earlier?" This was what Mrs. Wang shouted as soon as she entered the room.

Hearing the sound, Sun Yixie turned around and saw an aunt coming, thinking she was the madam, but the way the madam spoke didn't seem to match the style of this place.

"Who are you?" In any case, Brother Sun still told the other party to report his family status.

"Everyone here calls me Mama Wang. Of course, you can call me something else if you want." As Mama Wang spoke, she approached the table.

Sun Yixie, Huang Donglai, Faning and Hu Wenzhi thought about it and thought, what else could they call you? Let’s call you Sister Wang? Sister Wang? Grandma Wang? It’s even more inappropriate.

"Okay." Sun Yixie curled his lips and continued, "Does Mrs. Wang finally plan to introduce some girls to us now?"

"That's not true~" Mother Wang stood nearby with a smile, raised her face a little bit, and said to Sun Yixie, "Young master, I see that you are the owner of a brothel, so I won't follow you either.

I'm beating around the bush, how many do you want?"

When Sun Yixie heard this, his face changed color, and he even murmured: "Tsk... Why do you always visit the brothels? You don't want to slander someone's innocence..."

"What a shame! You've already come here, why are you so innocent~" Mother Wang was also rude. She picked up her finger and lightly tapped Brother Sun's temple. She didn't know if this was considered flirting or touching.

At that time, the four people at this table were shocked, thinking that this old woman really didn't regard herself as an outsider, and there was indeed something in this Xinghui Building.

"Mom!" Sun Yixie was somewhat annoyed by being "teased" by the other party, and he couldn't refute it. However, for some reason, he couldn't get angry at Mama Wang, so he could only raise his voice.

Gao yelled as if he was giving up on himself, "Let's not talk about it! Let your number one come over and dance for the uncle first!"

Ordinarily, Sun Yixie's two sentences were considered layman's words that would be embarrassing to say in most high-end brothels in the Great Dynasty, because in those days, it was impossible for a brothel oiran of this level to be insulted by you.

You just call her; on the contrary, you have to go over and ask to see her, and they may not be willing to see you yet. They have to observe your appearance, culture, conversation, financial resources, etc. in the dark, and then only after comprehensive consideration

It is possible to meet you and then start with elegant things such as music, chess, calligraphy and painting. If you perform well, the two parties may eventually move to some more explicit activities.

However, what I didn't expect was...

"Hey~ That's right." At this moment, Mrs. Wang responded with a smile, "I knew you were a veteran, Master. You even know that our Miss Qian is best at dancing."

"Ah?" At this time, Huang Donglai also laughed, and he immediately teased Brother Sun, "Brother Sun, have you ever come here under a pseudonym before?"

"Go away! I've never been here!" Sun Yixie denied it very quickly. After all, he had never been here.

"Actually, it doesn't matter. We are all men, so it doesn't matter if we have been here before." Faning smoothed things over at this time and continued, "But to be honest, although I haven't been here either, this star

I have heard of the name Qian Meimei, the top star of Hui Lou, who is known as 'the most beautiful woman in Jinhua'."

"What this gentleman said is absolutely true." When she finished speaking, Mrs. Wang over there took over the conversation again, "It's just..." She suddenly looked embarrassed again, "Today is indeed an unlucky day. Miss Qian happened to be ill.

, unable to see guests..."

"Come on, I understand your tricks." Sun Yixie interrupted before the other party could finish, "First he whetted my appetite, and then he pushed back and waited until I said 'add money' myself.

You bargain with me some more, and if you are satisfied with the price in the end, you can hire someone else, right?"

"Uh... Sir, you are really knowledgeable." Mother Wang was stunned for a moment, then said, "Mother Wang, I have indeed done what you said on weekdays, but... today, Miss Qian is really uncomfortable.

"

"Hey, hey, hey..." Sun Yixie waved his hands impatiently and spat, "Okay, that's it. Stop acting. Just tell me how much it will cost."

"This...is really not about money..." When Mrs. Wang replied, her whole head was tilted and she pressed down hard to show her sincerity.

"What's that?" Sun Yixie asked with an unhappy look on his face.

"It's about hemorrhoids." Mother Wang had no choice but to make it clear.

"Hmm..." When Sun Yixie heard this answer, he felt bored and couldn't hold it in for a long time.

"Um..." At this moment, Hu Wenzhi, who was relatively normal and handled things the most safely, spoke up, "...how about another girl?"

Although his words did not completely alleviate the awkward atmosphere at the scene, they were still a step down.

"Hey, that's easy to say." Mother Wang said, "How dare I ask you, how many girls do you want to accompany you?"

As soon as he said these words, the door to the room suddenly opened, and then a man came in from the outside. He was also in his early forties, quite tall, and had a very easy-going face.

Everyone knows this person, it is Yu Jianli.

As soon as Uncle Yu entered the room, he opened his mouth to follow up what Mrs. Wang had said before: "Come here, no one over 18!"

Everyone, you can tell right away that this is a regular customer. He talks no nonsense as soon as he comes in. He is served two glasses of high-definition drinks worth eighteen taels.

What? You ask, why can something like a high broken piece be sold for eighteen taels?

It's very simple, because the tea here is all incredibly expensive, so isn't the price of the high-quality tea made from those incredibly expensive minced tea leaves?

"Eh? Isn't this uncle (note that what Mother Wang calls is uncle, not uncle, the pronunciation and meaning of these three words are different when telling my storyteller)? How do you..." Mother Wang didn't know what was happening before her.

These four people are just getting away from each other, so they are also a little confused.

"It's okay, these are all my buddies." Yu Jianli was not polite and took a seat by himself.

As we said before, he is a "big friend" in Taoism, and he is quite like Meng Chang, so this operation can be said to be very familiar. Anyway, as long as he finally buys the order, no one will do it.

Mind.

Furthermore, Yu Jianli and Faning have known each other for a long time, and their friendship with Shuangxie has been through life and death together. They can indeed be considered buddies.

"Long time no see, everyone, haha... Hiccuper..." When Uncle Yu sat down, several people turned to look at him and found that his face was already a bit drunk. It seemed that he was late today, and he was probably in another place.

I was drinking with someone somewhere and couldn't get out in time.

"Hey, who is this?" However, Yu Jianli's drinking capacity was not limited. Even though he was slightly tipsy, he quickly determined that there was someone at this table whom he did not recognize.

"This is Mr. Hu Wenzhi Hu." Huang Donglai introduced him.

"Oh... Nice to meet you. I'm Yu Jianli." Yu Jianli hesitated for a moment and realized that he had never heard of this name, so he used "Nice to meet you" instead of "Jiu Yang".

"Long-term admiration." But Hu Wenzhi could use "Long-term admiration" for Jianli, because just before Uncle Yu came, he had heard the name "Prostitution Saint" from three other people, and he respected the nickname on the spot.

.

"So... you guys." Seeing that they were "sharing the table" on their own, Mrs. Wang stopped talking and asked, "Should I buy tea for Uncle Yu first, or..."

"Do you still want tea?" Sun Yixie didn't understand the true meaning of Yu Jianli's "Come here" just now, so when he heard that Mrs. Wang mentioned tea again, he almost jumped up and bit.

"Is this a brothel or a teahouse? It's endless, isn't it? Didn't Mr. Renyu just say that? He wants two! We want them too!"

"No, no, no..." Unexpectedly, Faning intervened again at this moment, "Brother Sun, it's better not to 'ask' for now. Since Mr. Yu is here, let me finish the matter with him first."

After a pause, he added, "If you are really anxious, let them bring the food and wine first, and have a few sips to suppress the evil fire."

"Damn it! Why do you think I'm the only one who's so anxious when you say this?" Sun Yixie became more and more annoyed. He looked at Huang Donglai at that time and said, "Brother Huang, please say something."

The next second, Huang Donglai stood up immediately.

Everyone thought that when he suddenly stood up, he would make a speech. However, he quickly walked up to Mother Wang and muttered in a low voice: "Oh shit, I suddenly have a stomachache. Where is the toilet?"

…………

After a stick of incense, the next room.

Ding Bu Zhu was observing the scene in Shuang Xie's house through the peephole hidden behind the calligraphy and painting on the wall.

This is his habit - he is used to letting his subordinates get in touch with others before he goes to meet them in person, while he observes in secret.

Only in this way can he establish a first impression of the other party from the perspective of a bystander rather than the person involved, and thus formulate a set of strategies for dealing with the other party.

Only when he has made these preparations will he formally meet the other party.

Today is no exception.

But... At this moment, Ding Buzhu observed the conversation between Shuangxi and others and Mother Wang in the dark for a long time, and after eavesdropping on the "business" of Faning and Yu Jianli's conversation for a while, he came to the conclusion that these days

It doesn’t matter if people are missing.

There was no other reason than that Ding Buzhu didn't see what was so special about the famous "Eastern Harmony and Western Poison" in the world.

Over the years, Ding has seen many so-called "heroes" who have a reputation that is difficult to live up to. In fact, there may be more such people than real heroes, so over time, he has taken a liking to some of them.

I don’t want to see him anymore.

Furthermore, he immediately became interested when he heard Shuangxi's name today. The main reason was not because he wanted to get to know these two juniors so much, but because about half a month ago, his intelligence agency learned from a colleague from Green Forest Road.

A piece of information was intercepted at "Tingfeng Tower", the content of which was - the legendary "Silkworm Hunting Ring" that had disappeared for decades had reappeared in the world a few months ago, and the person who held it at that time was Sun Yi

Harmony.

So, Ding couldn't help but immediately went to check Shuang Xie's whereabouts, but after learning that the two went to Japan, he could only put it aside for the time being.

Until...tonight.

Tonight, Sun Yixie was not wearing that silver wrench on his hand. After all, after returning to the Central Plains, he no longer needed something to carry with him at all times to maintain any translation spells, and he and Huang Donglai were completely different.

Knowing the legend behind this ring, he casually placed it in his luggage at the inn.

Ding couldn't help but hide in the dark and watch these two boys. He felt that they were nothing special, and he didn't find the "Silkworm Seeking Ring" in their hands, so he felt bored.

Then, he listened to what Fan Ning and Yu Jianli were going to talk about, and it turned out that the matter was actually... Yu Jianli asked Fan Ning to help repair weapons, and that was it.

It turned out that Yu Jianli's "silver sword" was bought from Faning back then. The sword was damaged in the capital last autumn. Yu Jianli went to find Faning and asked him to find a way to repair it...

Everyone knows about the efficiency of doing things in ancient times. If you ask someone to do something that you don't know how to do, you should reserve a few months for him. In addition, communication and transportation were not very convenient at that time. It happened that these two

People have no fixed place to live, so they used the classic "where will we meet on the first day of the month in a few months" approach to meet again, which led to today's meeting.

Ding couldn't help hearing it, it turned out that this was their main business?

Although these two weapons, the "Golden Knife and the Silver Sword", are quite famous in the world, it doesn't matter how powerful these two weapons are.

The Silver Sword is indeed a good sword, it is not comparable to iron, and it can also be regarded as a strange weapon. But in terms of sharpness, there are too many swords that can compare with it. Back then, swords of this level in Wujian Villa could be weighed by a pound.

wholesale.

As for the golden sword, it's a bit interesting... To some extent, the popularity of the silver sword is due to its juxtaposition with the golden sword.

Of course, the interesting thing about the golden sword is not that it improves the user's combat power to the level of a precious weapon, but that it is really a "golden sword" - its handle, grid, blade and scabbard are all mixed with...

It is made of a certain proportion of real gold and mixed with other metals using superb craftsmanship to increase its strength. Its final appearance is extremely gorgeous, so in addition to being a good weapon, it is also a piece of jewelry with high value.

Of course, this golden sword is no longer with Jianli, it is no longer even in the world, but was bought and collected by a rich man.

In short, even if these two things appeared here, they would not catch his eye, so in his opinion, Faning was not a person worthy of attention or friendship.

As for Yu Jianli... As I said, he is a frequent visitor here. Ding Buzhu has met him before, but it was just an acquaintance and we had no contact with him.

As for Hu Wenzhi, he has not been in the Central Plains for twenty years, and he was not very famous twenty years ago. Ding Buzhu has no information about him, so he can only be treated as a nobody.

After settling the accounts in his mind, Ding couldn't help but want to back out and go back to his room to drink and take a nap.

However, he is a person who is good at seizing opportunities. Although he felt that the chance of success was very small, he still thought of and ordered the implementation of an idea that could be tried temporarily and there would not be much danger if it failed - he sent

Several men, while Sun Huang was at Xinghui Tower, secretly went to the inn where Sun Huang was staying to search their luggage...
