Fei Wutong curled his lips and said, "Mom, do you have to pay for every penny we have? Let me tell you, we only brought a total of five taels of silver today. To be honest, the three of us scraped together this."

."

"You know that although our family has money, we don't have much money in our hands. If it weren't for the Chinese New Year, we wouldn't be able to get the money. You asked a lot of people to play, so you can get twenty or thirty taels of silver.

How are we going to pay the bill? If you go home and make a fuss again, my father will break my legs."

Fei Wudan also said with a grimace: "Yes, although I went out to drink today, my father also agreed. Speaking of scholars, you should go to such a romantic place. If you don't go to such a place, you won't know how to adapt, and your writing will be old-fashioned.

He didn't know how to adapt, so he agreed to give me a tael of silver."

"Yes, my father and my grandfather also mean the same thing. Because Mr. Qiu does a good job in articles, and I can grow up and make progress with Mr. Qiu. My father praised me for my progress in the articles I wrote during this period."

"So since the Chinese New Year is coming soon, I wanted to show my respect to my teacher and come have a drink with these two gentlemen. In total, I was given two taels of silver, not much more."

The old bustard giggled like a flower hen and said: "Let's do this, you don't have to cry in front of me. You two young masters, Mr. Qiu is visiting our brothel for the first time. I have to show my favor to the landlord, how about it?"

"

As soon as these words came out, several people were shocked, and they all turned to look at Qiu Wuhen. They thought, when did this gentleman have such a face? I have never heard that this cloud brothel entertained any scholar for free for one night.

, my eyes were opened today.

Of course they didn't know that it was Qiu Wuhen's status as a sixth-grade Baihu who frightened the old bustard. How long would it take for this kind of relationship to be established? When people come here, it's a reward, and they dare to collect money. If they can get this kind of relationship,

That's an opportunity you can't find even with a lantern.

Qiu Wuhen raised his hands and said, "This is not good."

"What's wrong? Mr. Qiu's coming here is just to put money on my face. Come on, come on, I'll accompany you. Don't worry, you are all gentlemen. I don't know any of those dirty women."

Called."

Qiu Wuhen couldn't help but smile, nodded and said, "That's good. Let's just listen to music, watch dancing, drink some wine, and talk."

"That's it. Come on, come on, please come this way."

The old bustard diligently led Qiu Wuhen and the others to the largest and most luxurious private room. Linghu Ding was still very uneasy and couldn't help but confirm again and said: "Say mom, we really only have five taels of silver. How can you do it?"

You can’t blackmail us.”

The old bustard laughed, pointed at Mr. Turtle and the maid who were following behind him, and said, "Listen, all of these people's expenses tonight are free, I'll cover them."

The turtle men and the maids and girls have never heard of the madam giving anyone a free meal. At worst, a discount is the biggest favor. After all, the madam has a very tough background.

Now I am dumbfounded when I hear this. I don’t know whether what the madam said is true or false.

Until the old bustard gave Mr. Turtle who was close to him a hard kick on the buttocks and shouted, "Didn't you hear what I said?"

Only then did they realize that what the boss said was true, and they quickly nodded and agreed.

Linghu Ding laughed loudly and said: "I didn't expect that we are here to welcome Mr. Qiu. It's really interesting. I originally wanted to invite Mr. Qiu, but instead Mr. Miao invited us, haha!"

Fei Wutong and Fei Wudan were both dumbfounded, nodding excitedly: "Yes, yes, Mr. Qiu is so respectable. If I had known, we would have brought Mr. Qiu here, hehe."

Linghu Ding said: "You are beautiful."

At this time, the madam had already called a few serving girls to serve drinks. The three of them actually didn't go in and out of the brothel very much. Firstly, they had no money, and secondly, they had no money. It was all the trouble caused by the lack of money.

However, compared to Qiu Wuhen, they came here more often and were relatively familiar with each other. When the boss called the geishas, ​​they all looked a little dumbfounded.

It's just that Qiu Wuhen feels that although these girls can be considered beautiful, they are several grades worse than the so-called brothel oirans he has seen in movies and TV series.

After all, it was an artificial beauty shot under modern high-tech and filtered shooting conditions. Her nose, chin, and facial features had all undergone plastic surgery with the golden section. Naturally, she was a hundred times more beautiful than a woman in a brothel in ancient times, so in his eyes, she was nothing.

you.

Linghu Ding was very happy and raised his glass frequently. He drank a little too much and said to Qiu Wuhen: "Sir, your article is truly the best in the world. We have benefited a lot from studying your article these days, sir.

Even myself."

Fei Wutong and Fei Wudan were even more flattering. Qiu Wuhen just waved his hand and said you're welcome. He would write two more articles tomorrow when he was free and let them think about it carefully.

At this moment, Qiu Wuhen suddenly saw a singing prostitute coming in, holding a pipa and lowering her head. She seemed familiar, and she didn't know where she had seen her before.

Linghu Ding wanted to continue flattering, but was stopped by Qiu Wuhen. He looked at the woman holding the pipa, thinking that I must have seen it somewhere, but she lowered her head and couldn't see her face clearly.

So Qiu Wuhen continued to tilt his head, tilting it lower and lower, trying to see her face clearly. But if he kept tilting it like this, his head would almost hit the floor, as if he was looking under someone else's skirt.

.

In fact, the woman's long skirt was all over the floor, and even her shoes could not be seen completely. There was no way to see what was underneath her skirt. But his move was so inelegant that Linghu Ding even coughed to remind him.

Qiu Wuhen quickly sat up, smiled sarcastically, and said, "I think I know him. I've seen him somewhere."

Linghu Ding laughed loudly and said: "If you want to see her face, that's easy. Just ask her to raise her head. Why bother to lower her head so hard."

Fei Wutong was very knowledgeable and quickly said to the woman in white: "Hurry up and raise your head. We, Mr. Linghu, want to see what you look like."

The woman then raised her head, and when Qiu Wuhen took a look, she saw that it was Bai Xue, the woman from the steamed bun shop where Qiu Wuhen went to have breakfast every morning.

Qiu Wuhen was a little embarrassed, and a sentence came to his mind, how can a beautiful woman be a thief? Yes, how could such a young and beautiful woman come to a brothel to play the pipa?

But then again, in ancient times, women who performed as entertainers but did not sell their bodies might have to go to the sea to support their families, and that was okay.

They don't do that kind of despicable things, so why look down on them.

So Qiu Wuhen smiled at her, but he suddenly realized that the woman didn't recognize him at all. Her eyes flickered at him, but she didn't recognize him at all. Her eyes didn't look like she was seeing an acquaintance.

Qiu Wuhen couldn't help but sigh in his heart, thinking that I had eaten so many steamed buns at your house, how could I be indifferent and not recognize him? This made me feel so embarrassed.

But he soon found that the snow-white woman smiled slightly at him, a little shy, and her eyes seemed to indicate that she had recognized him.

Qiu Wuhen immediately became happy. The steamed buns were not in vain. He immediately smiled at her and said, "Hello."

Miss Bai Xue also smiled sweetly at him and said, "What song do you want to hear, sir?"

Qiu Wuhen understood after hearing what she said. She didn't want to strike up a conversation at all, and she didn't want to reveal the relationship between the two. It seemed that she didn't want others to guess that she was the woman from the steamed bun shop.

After all, performing as a performer is not a particularly honorable thing, so it may still be somewhat taboo.

So Qiu Wuhen didn't expose it and said, "Just pick your best song and sing it. Anyway, today the brothel's madam is here to give you money, so just sing it."

The woman nodded slightly and began to play. It looked like her skills were really skillful, and her singing voice was melodious and charming. It was really refreshing to listen to.

Qiu Wuhen couldn't help but feel a little dumbfounded, and said to Linghu Ding: "This music should only be heard in heaven, how can such music be heard in the human world."

Linghu Ding laughed again.

After singing the song, Bai Xue stood up with her pipa in her arms and was about to leave. Qiu Wuhen immediately waved her hand and said, "Why are you leaving? I haven't heard enough yet."

The madam hurriedly came over and explained: "Miss Snow White is just a guest appearance. She sings one song in each room. You can't stay longer."

Qiu Wuhen asked in a low voice: "Isn't she the girl upstairs from you?"

"I don't have that blessing. She is here as a guest star. She pays me some of the money she earns. The long position belongs to others. So she can sing if she wants to. If they don't want to sing, I can't help it."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Wuhen realized that it was so embarrassing, so he felt embarrassed.

He said hurriedly: "Let's listen to the girl's performance again when we have the chance."

Bai Xue smiled and was about to exit.

Fei Wutong was very knowledgeable and immediately said: "We, Mr. Qiu, like to listen to your music. You can stay here tonight. Anyway, you don't just sing one song in other rooms, so why bother."

"The money you earn here and elsewhere isn't all money. I say mom, just give her some extra money and let her keep it here. It's rare that our Mr. Qiu likes it."

When the madam heard this, she thought, yes, isn't this a good time to flatter him? Just now he saw Qiu Wuhen looking at her like that and her saliva was almost drooling to the floor.

He immediately said to Bai Xue: "That is a scholar, a famous person in the Yamen. These two are also young masters, and Mr. Linghu is also a scholar. They are all top-notch literati and elegant guests in our Yunduan County."

"Tonight, I will only serve Mr. Qiu. You can sing and dance whatever he asks you to do. They will not embarrass you. They are all educated people."

Bai Xue finally nodded towards Qiu Wuhen and said, "Then it's better for Bai Xue to be respectful than to obey."

After saying that, he sat down again. Qiu Wuhen was actually a little unhappy. After all, the reason why this beauty sat down was not because of how good he was, but because of the reward. For the sake of money.

superior.

But then again, people are not here just for money, why bother talking about feelings.

It's equivalent to someone else taking a free ticket to watch a show, so Bai Xue is worthy of the double price.

Then they started singing and dancing again, and called the musicians in, playing and dancing with a pipa, which made Qiu Wuhen's eyes go straight.
