Wanhua Tower is the top gold-selling cave in Bianjing City. As long as you have money, you can enjoy the top-notch fun here.
The most famous among them are the great courtesans, who are all stunningly beautiful in the world, and are even patronized by princes. They are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but they are not prostitutes, and their backstage is tough. Many young men can only be greedy, but they dare not be presumptuous.
Miss Lianpan is one of the top ten oirans. She has a cool and gorgeous temperament, just like a lotus flower, which cannot be desecrated when viewed from a distance, especially she plays the pipa well.
The person Wen Yao wants to meet today is this master of Lianpan.
Lian Pan has been using the rouge and gouache from the Wen family rouge shop. Some of the top-quality products are tributes, so if you want to buy them, you have to look at the Wen family's face.
Wen Yao came in person, Lian Pan couldn't offend him and came out to see her in person.
"Hello, Miss Wen, I'm wondering if you can give me any advice when you come to a dirty place like mine?"
No matter how famous Lian Pan is, she is still a brothel girl. Regardless of the fact that those young men talk better than they sing, if they are asked to marry her, they would rather marry a commoner woman than marry her.
Being a concubine is already the best destination for her.
She is already eighteen years old, which is said to be young, but in a brothel where customers are received at the age of fourteen, there are already old girls. She can live until she is twenty at most, either as a concubine and find someone to redeem herself, or to receive customers.
Fall into the mire.
No matter which outcome, Lianpan would find it difficult to accept.
She smiled gently: "I thought everyone in Lianpan was noble, talented, and didn't care about worldly etiquette. They were a generation of extraordinary women. When you say that, I think highly of you. You are not worthy of my advice."
Lian Pan's face changed. When she opened her mouth, she divided herself and Wen Yao into two types of people. She was a noble lady, and she was just a lowly prostitute.
"It's Lian Pan who's neglecting you. Don't blame Miss Wen. I've heard about Miss Wen's reputation for a long time. After seeing her today, the rumors are true. If you need anything, Miss Wen, please give me your instructions."
It's normal for someone who lives in a brothel to be a lowly child. It's never dignified. Lianpan quickly apologized.
"You are very smart. What I want you to do will only benefit you and not harm you. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, for the reward of ten thousand taels of silver, Miss Lianpan will be free in the future."
Lian Pan was instantly moved. Ten thousand taels of silver was a huge amount of money. Plus her savings, it was enough to redeem herself.
"Okay, Miss, please give me your instructions. Lianpan will do his best."
Wen Yao spoke quickly and explained clearly in a few words. Lianpan looked strange: "You don't want this marriage? Why?"
In her opinion, Yuan Zixuan is a playboy and ridiculous, but he comes from a good family. You only marry based on your family background. Men, haha, they are all like that!
"If you want it, I'll give it to you. It depends on your ability."
Wen Yao didn't say much, saying that a courtesan was not worthy of her heart, it was just a transaction.
I paid five thousand taels of silver first. Wen Yao was very cheerful. In doing business, she is the most honest person.
Wen Yao went to Xiuzhuang and the pharmacy to inspect it. As before, she returned home in the evening to greet her grandmother and mother. Instead of going back to her own yard, she went to the most remote Xikuoyuan, where the old man of the Wen family lived.
Beautiful grandfather.
Wen Tingxu was not on good terms with the old lady. He lived with an old concubine, Mrs. Jiang, and his concubine Wen Liangfeng in Xikuoyuan. Although they were in the same house, they rarely interacted with each other. Except for showing up during festivals, he was usually invisible.
.
Jiang didn't expect Wen Yao to come. She was in her early forties, docile, slightly plump, and although not pretty, she was a very comfortable woman.
"I've met the eldest lady. Please say hello to the eldest lady."
"Aunt Jiang, there is no need to be polite. You have served my grandfather well and you are also my elder. How is your grandfather doing lately?"
"Okay, that's good. Miss, please come sit down in the room."
Mr. Jiang invited her into the house, and Mr. Wen came from the study and said with a high frame: "Girl, you are getting married soon. It's hard for you to remember my old man."
"My grandfather said this. My granddaughter is ashamed. She was busy with family affairs and had no time to be filial to you. It's not your granddaughter's fault.
I came here today just to ask my grandfather to make the decision for me."
Mr. Wen looked at her deeply: "Who is the master? Do I have the right to be the master of this family?"
"Grandpa is joking. You will always be the old man of the Wen family. You just want to be quiet and really want to take care of things. Grandma has to listen to you, right?"
"tell me the story."
Housekeeper Wen Yao has never treated Mr. Jiang and his concubine harshly. He is better than the boss and his wife. Mr. Wen thinks a lot. He is alive and everything is fine. One day, when Mr. Jiang and his concubine are gone, Wen Yao will not care.
Family, they must not have a good life.
For the sake of Mr. Jiang and his youngest son, the old man is willing to help Wen Yao.
Wen Yao stayed in Xikuoyuan for half an hour, and soon the news reached Nuan Wen's ears. She was puzzled: "Eldest sister went to see that good-for-nothing grandfather. What did he do? It was definitely not about the relationship between ancestors and grandchildren. He sent someone to find out.
one time."
The maid Ziyu said: "I don't think it's important. The old master can't be the master of the house. The eldest lady is probably just pretending. After all, she has to get married and say goodbye to her elders. She has a reputation of being filial."
Wen Nuan said: "I always feel uneasy and always feel that something is going to happen."
Wen Yao's changes again and again make Nuan Nuan feel like things are out of control.
"Are you worried about Yin Niang?"
Wen Nuan unconsciously clenched the tea cup, "Is there any way to shut her up completely?"
Ziyu's eyes flashed: "Only the dead can shut up."
Wen Nuan looked up at her and said, "I'll leave it to you to do it. It must be foolproof. It's okay to spend more money. It must be safe."
"this……"
"You don't want to go?"
Ziyu didn't dare to disobey, so she could only grit her teeth and said: "Yes, I will definitely take care of it."
"Go right away. It's best to find out if Yin Niang's three sons know anything."
"Okay, I'll go find Xu San. Unfortunately, the concierge Lao Wu was punished with a cane. He has many connections outside, so it's easier to do things."
This is something Nuan Nuan is worried about again. Wu Peng is someone she can keep with great difficulty, and he has been doing things for her.
"Let's see if he can still be saved? He is still useful."
"yes."
Ziyu took two thousand taels of silver and left the house.
On a new day, Wen Yao went to greet the old lady as usual. On the way, she met her third brother Wen Yang, who was holding his arm. The two were talking and laughing, and the scene was particularly dazzling.
"Good morning, eldest sister. Third brother bought me a kite. The weather now is the most suitable for flying kites. Let's go out to the city to fly a kite in the afternoon. Eldest sister is going to marry into the county prince's palace. There must be many rules. I wonder if there will be a chance to come out.
How about playing?"
Wen Yao was a little funny. She couldn't understand what Wen Wen was thinking. She showed off a kite to herself. Did she want to tell herself that Wen Yang also liked her and didn't like him?
