When Xia Shang bought Yazhi with 100,000 gold, he thought it was the ultimate achievement. Today, everyone wants to be the guest of honor when they meet the girl for the first time, and everyone is trying their best.
This is not simply to win the favor of no one, but an opportunity to stand out among the celebrities. Not only can you catch a glimpse of the girl's beauty, but you can also become the most popular person in Suzhou at the moment.
Judging from past history, many literati gained fame and profit from such competitions. Therefore, a scene like today is an excellent opportunity for people in Suzhou to compete for fame and fortune.
At this time, the madam didn’t need to explain. Thousands of fresh roses downstairs were already being snapped up by people.
This rose is extraordinary, costing one hundred taels of silver each. Only such nobility can express the admiration in my heart when giving it to a beautiful lady.
"Gu Baihe gave fifteen roses to the girl he met for the first time."
"Qin Fangjie gave eighty roses to the girl he met for the first time."
"Xu Zhian gave Miss Gu Jian forty roses."
…
Roses were sent to the second floor in a steady stream, and the boy who took notes was writing quickly for fear of missing one. The girl at the cashier was also too busy, and the piles of banknotes turned into a small mountain in a short time. The atmosphere gradually became tense.
Under the stimulation of money, people's desire to compare with others begins to arouse. Of course, money is not the only way to express one's feelings. Talented people from all walks of life also have the opportunity to present poems and express their admiration.
But in such a hot environment with ever-increasing money, who still has the heart to sit through those mundane matters?
"Lu He gave the girl he met for the first time... one by one... a thousand roses!"
A loud shout broke through the noise, a thousand roses are one hundred thousand taels of silver!
Who is this Lu He? Is there anyone who would work so hard?
However, as soon as he finished speaking, another voice came: "Fang...Fang Fangfang...Fang Rui, Miss Fang, give me 1,500 roses to the girl I met for the first time!"
"What?!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Many people couldn't help but pick their ears, with disbelief on their faces: "Miss Fang? Is there any mistake? The girl also came to join in the fun?"
The girl next to me, who thought she was disguised as a man, raised her head proudly: "What? Who said that only you men can come to the brothel? Like other girls, I have admired the girl for the first time for a long time, so what can I do once I meet her?"
…
Compared with the hustle and bustle of Shangshangju, the Yage next door seems much deserted.
Because the two buildings are so close together, the noise from Shang Shang Ju can still be faintly heard in Miya's house.
Miya's house is very simple, but it is very clean and feels very comfortable in it.
It's just that some food such as wine and preserved fruits were missing. Xia Shang's mouth felt a little dry, but after looking at the empty wine bottle on the table, he could only endure it for now.
Miya frowned all the time. She was still a little confused. To be precise, she couldn't guess Xia Shang's thoughts.
If he is really a businessman, then he should not choose Yiju. There are so many brothels in Suzhou, which are larger in scale and better in reputation than Yiju. He has so much money, and he can make a difference no matter where he is. Why did he choose Yiju?
Selected Yiju?
"Is it because of my beauty?"
Miya shook her head thinking about it, thinking it was impossible. Although she thought she was beautiful, she was not worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, because she had a character that men did not like. She was rigid, did not know how to please, and even
It can be said that I don’t understand the style.
"What are you thinking about?" Xia Shang suddenly asked.
Miya was startled, then composed herself: "No... nothing?"
Xia Shang suddenly closed his eyes, as if listening to something.
Miya thought Xia Shang was listening to the excitement next door, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Shang Shang Ju is the number one in Suzhou, we can't compare. Now another person has become famous. If he meets a girl for the first time, his reputation will definitely spread to Suzhou and Jiangnan.
It has become a rare and famous building in the world."
Xia Shang shook his head: "Look, there seems to be a guest downstairs."
Miya was stunned again, and then she calmed down. Sure enough, she heard a man talking downstairs, and there really was a guest.
Miya stood up and asked Xia Shang: "Then shall I go and receive you?"
"No, just let your sisters go. It just so happens that I can take a look at your hospitality and see if there is really any problem with it."
Miya frowned a little uneasily, as if she was afraid of making some jokes in front of Xia Shang, and she was not very confident about her sisters.
At this time, two people came in from the downstairs of Yiju, one was dressed in brocade and jade, and the other was in coarse linen. The combination was very eye-catching. The former held his head high, hunched over, and even cursed when they walked together.
"Gang leader, what do you think that upper-class woman is? Thousands of taels of white money are thrown into her without risking anything. She doesn't even want to show her face. If it were another woman,
I don’t know how many I can buy with these few thousand taels of silver. Brothers, you can play whatever you want! The singing is pretty good, but I don’t know if it sounds good or not. Damn it! I’ll snatch her away from the gang leader another day.
The leader of the gang... the leader of the gang..."
The man in brocade clothes in front rolled his eyes and lowered his voice: "Room Thirteen!"
"Yes, yes, the concubine of the thirteenth room." The rickety man wiped his mouth with a smile. He went to the table in the hall first, pulled out a stool, wiped it with the man behind him, and turned around to smile.
He said, "Gang leader, please sit here. It's better here. There are fewer people and it's quiet. Let's never go to that damn place next to it. It's so arrogant."
As he spoke, he yelled again at the top of his lungs: "Hey, hey, is there anyone? Where is the most beautiful girl with the most water? Come out quickly and serve my gang leader."
The girls who were hiding in the back hall and watching looked happy. It was a rare visitor and they were preparing to go out to greet them.
A sister behind me pulled her and lowered her voice: "Mr. Xia is watching from upstairs. Don't mess up this business."
The girl who was about to greet him nodded: "Yes, I understand."
Soon, charming laughter came from the hall downstairs.
In the room upstairs, Xia Shang did not pay attention to the downstairs. He looked at Miya and suddenly asked: "Girl, do you have any ideals in life?"
"Ideal in life?" These four words seem a bit profound.
"What do you want the future to be like? Have you ever thought about doing a good job in Yiju? Or do you hate brothels in the first place? You are indeed different from other girls. Your sisters have said that you are a famous woman who once had a noble status and has fallen to this.
There must be a story."
Miya's brows twitched, obviously she didn't like this topic.
Xia Shang continued: "I'm not here to listen to your stories, and I don't care about your past identity. Because no matter how glorious your past is, your story will not be as exciting as mine. What I am concerned about is one issue,
Have you ever thought about making Yiju a good place?"
Miya was silent for a long time: "I don't care whether Yiju is good or bad, and it doesn't matter whether I am good or bad. I just don't want to see my sisters fall into the hands of others. I don't want them to go through what I went through." (
