The master's wife was gracious enough to take a few days off, and Lin Jue finally didn't have to work in the academy. Even so, the master's wife still made a request, asking Lin Jue to inquire about the craftsmen building the house. It seemed that what Fang Dunru said was true, and the master's wife had already added Tim.
The plan to build a study room was on her planning schedule.
Lin Jue felt that nine times out of ten, this matter would fall on him again. Because according to Fang Huanqiu, her mother had said privately that hiring craftsmen to build a house would cost too much money. The family was already poor, so I'm afraid it was
It’s inconvenient. The teacher’s wife said that if someone could help cut down the bamboo in the small bamboo forest and carry it over, and then move some rocks under the cliff, then the study would not be difficult.
Although he felt a little overwhelmed, Lin Jue didn't take these things to heart. He deeply cherished the close relationship with the Fang family. After becoming a disciple, the relationship with the Fang family quickly heated up, and that was also because they fell in love with each other.
Lin Jue thought that if necessary, he would still have to contribute his own efforts to build a small hut.
On the sixth day of July, Lin Jue, who finally had some free time, decided to take Lu Wu out for a stroll in the market. Lu Wu was a little bored staying at home all day long, so Lin Jue wanted to take her out to relax. Lin Hu was left to look after the house in the morning.
At midnight, Lin Jue and Lu Wu wandered along the streets and alleys to various streets in the city.
During this period of time, Lin Jue didn't notice any prying eyes when he went out. Today when he went out, Lin Jue also carefully paid attention to his surroundings, and once again found no suspicious signs.
The two of them wandered together, buying some snacks while walking. They looked here and there, leisurely and leisurely. When they reached a street intersection near Beiguanmen, suddenly a woman came from ahead.
of shouts.
"Is it my benefactor? Oh, I have met my benefactor."
Lin Jue and Lu Wu were both stunned. When they looked up, they saw two gorgeous women in front of them rushing over quickly. Both women were in their thirties, and the one in front had a plump figure and a bright smile on her face.
With a smile, he came to Lin Jue and bowed, and spoke with surprise.
"It is indeed my benefactor, but I have found my benefactor. During this time, we have been asking around, but we have not found any trace of our benefactor. Today, by coincidence, we actually met him on the street. Isn't this God's will?"
Lin Jue was a little puzzled and frowned: "You two have mistakenly admitted the wrong person. Do I know you?"
Lu Wu pulled his sleeves at the side and whispered: "Have you forgotten about the rescue at Xihu that day?"
Only then did Lin Jue suddenly realize that he recognized the two women in front of him. One of them was the madam of the Wangyue House on the red boat in the West Lake.
"Young Master, have you remembered? My family name is Xie Jian and her courtesy name is Danhong. This is Lan Niang in my building." The two women laughed playfully and saluted again.
Lin Jue smiled hurriedly and returned the courtesy: "I remember, I remember. I wonder if the one who fell into the water has recovered?"
"I'm fine now. Thank you for your concern. After that day, we went around to inquire about the identity of the young master and wanted to thank him for saving people, but we couldn't find him all over the city. My Yingying said that if we find the young master no matter what, she will thank him in person for saving his life.
Thank you for your kindness. Unexpectedly, I just went to buy some rouge, gouache and so on with Lan Niang, and I met my benefactor on the street. My benefactor came with the slave's house and went to my building to talk. Yingying was sure
I'm so happy." Xie Danhong came up and tried to pull Lin Jue's sleeve.
Lin Jue hurriedly took a step back, cupped his hands and said, "No need, I almost forgot about that. There's no need to make it so troublesome."
"That's not possible. I have to invite my benefactor to sit in the building today no matter what, even if it's for you to have a cup of tea. If Yingying knew that we met our benefactor but didn't invite you to see her, I'm afraid she would be greatly blamed.
slave family."
"No, no, I accept your offer." Lin Jue waved his hand and declined.
However, the two women refused to comply at all. They came up and pulled Lin Jue's sleeves, one on the left and the other on the right, and kept persuading. Lu Wu was pushed aside by them. She wanted to intervene but had no choice but to stomp her feet angrily.
People were passing by in the street. Two gorgeous women and a young man were chatting with each other, which immediately attracted everyone's attention. Some people had already started to stop and watch, and several passing women covered their mouths and snickered. Some idlers
Han was already cheering and gossiping.
Lin Jue was really speechless. It was really inappropriate to be flirting with women like this on the street. For now, he could only fulfill their wishes and go with them. Although it was a bit embarrassing, it was better than being such a jerk on the street.
Than the tearing of the stove.
"That's all, I'll just go. Don't pull me apart, or you will tear off my sleeves." Lin Jue shouted.
"That's great, thank you so much. It's not far ahead, at the corner of the Moon Tower." Xie Danhong won, with a smile on his face like a flower.
The two women hugged Lin Jue and walked towards the corner of the street. Lu Wu followed closely behind and rolled her eyes. Some of the spectators on the side began to disperse, while others followed them stubbornly and refused to give up.
"Isn't that Wangyuelou's mother, Xie Danhong? Why is it that Wangyuelou is now soliciting customers from all over the street? So blatantly?"
"Isn't it? How did Wangyue Tower reach such a state? Once upon a time, my famous building in the Flower World in Hangzhou was reduced to just attracting customers on the street. It's really unbelievable."
"Hey, you guys know what a fool! It's not like they don't know how to show appreciation. That Xie Yingying from Wangyue Tower refuses to sell her body, which offends many distinguished guests. She's just a brothel bitch, and she really wants to show off her skills instead of selling her body to pretend to be aloof? Who will buy them?
account?"
"You just don't understand. This is not the main reason. The key is that they offended a big shot they can't afford to offend. They wanted to take over Wangyue Tower and thank Yingying. But they didn't want to. The big shot went down in anger.
Order, no one is allowed to enter their Wangyue Tower. That’s why they are reduced to this situation."
"Oh? Really? Which big shot is he?"
"This...I don't dare to say it. If someone reports me, I won't be able to live with it."
"Fuck you, you're just here to entertain people, you just made up a story to deceive people." "Believe it or not, I have to work at the dock, and I don't have time to talk nonsense with you ignorant people."
"..."
Amidst the commotion, Lin Jue was surrounded by two women and entered the purple-red wooden building at the corner of the street. It was the Wangyue Tower, one of the top ten famous buildings in the flower world of Hangzhou.
In a clothing store not far away, two women pretending to buy floral fabrics quickly left the store and walked past Wangyue Tower pretending to be casual. After confirming that Lin Jue had indeed entered Wangyue Tower, the two met in a secluded place.
After a few words of discussion, one of them quickly turned around and left quickly.
…
Lin Jue and others entered the courtyard gate of Wangyue Tower. After passing the bluestone paved courtyard with lush flowers and trees, they entered the antique and exquisite hall of the small building. There was no one in the hall, and seven or eight exquisite palace lanterns were hung.
, but it was not lit. The whole hall gave people a deserted and dim feeling.
Lin Jue's impression of the brothel was that it was crowded, noisy and impetuous. In his last life, he had also entered a brothel with others, and the scene was definitely not like what he saw. The Wangyue Tower gave people the impression that although it looked beautiful, it was full of chaos everywhere. It looks dilapidated and old. The tables and chairs in the hall seem to be covered with a thin layer of dust, and the red paint on the wooden pillars has numerous cracks. It seems that few people maintain and clean it. This also shows from the side that this place seems There are not many guests.
But it's morning now, and this should be the quietest time of the day for brothels. Because generally speaking, the guests and brothel girls who party until late at night probably haven't gotten up yet. In the afternoon, it's time to go to bed. When visiting.
"My benefactor, sit down for a moment. Lan Niang, go make tea quickly. I'll invite Yingying to come. She will be very happy to know that my benefactor is here." Xie Danhong said with a smile.
Lin Jue smiled and nodded, and sat down on a chair next to a square table. Only then did he realize that it was not that there was a layer of dust on the table and chairs, but that it had not been painted for a long time, so it looked old and not bright enough.
Xie Danhong went upstairs from a wide wooden staircase at the back. Lin Jue sat in the hall a little bored. Lu Wu whispered: "Master, now is a good opportunity for us to go out."
Lin Jue shook his head and said: "That's not good. Once you've come, let's make peace with it. If you want to leave, do it openly. What's the point of running away secretly?"
Lu Wu stuck out her tongue and said, "Yes, it's like being a thief. But this is a brothel, and it's not advisable for the young master to stay here for a long time. Doesn't that Miss Xie Yingying want to commit herself to him?"
Lin Jue almost laughed out loud. He stretched out his hand and scratched Lu Wu's nose and said, "What are you thinking about? To say that you are simple and don't understand anything is to underestimate you. It seems that you understand everything."
Lu Wu blushed and argued in a low voice: "Isn't there a lot in the story book? I've read a lot of story books."
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Yes, yes, you know astronomy and geography from the top, but trivial matters from the bottom. People give you the nickname Jianghu Baixiaosheng, that's all."
