These twelve women were the famous Twelve Unique Elegant Ghosts of the Central Plains. Some of them were the children of down-and-out government officials, some were foreign beauties who were good at playing music, some were peasant girls, and some grew up in brothels and were trained by brothels to become talented women.
They had been taught the Four Books and Five Classics when they were young. They were not proficient in poetry, calligraphy, and painting, but it was enough to deal with some literati. And Rainbow Garden was the residence of some women who sold their bodies. Most of them learned all kinds of dances and seduction techniques. Rainbow Garden also had Wu Jue, Yan Jue, and the others.
Not long after, the two of them arrived at the Wan Chun Building. Unlike other brothels. There were no vulgar women at the entrance of the Wanchun Brothel trying to attract customers. But even so, the carriages in front of the Wan Chun House were still packed and occupied more than half of the street. Since ancient times, heroes loved beauties. Who said it wasn't?
From the outside, the Wan Chun Building was actually nine stories tall. It was an imposing sight. It was even more dazzling when they entered. It was already early spring, and the weather was still slightly cold. However, there was some warmth in the Wan Chun Building. The women in the building were all wearing light clothes and long skirts. They were dancing barefoot in the center of the stage. There were also silver bells tied to their feet, which was very pleasing to the ear.
The middle of the building was supported by two extremely thick white marble stones. There were also words on the white marble. On the white marble on the left, it wrote: Elegant Garden's first beauty, Zither Jue Zi Wuxia's second beauty: Flute Master Le Zhixin…
On the white marble on the right, it was written: The second most beautiful dance, Wu Mei 'er, Yan Jue, Su Xiaoxian…
The stairs were covered with mink blankets. Duan Yu was secretly surprised that a small brothel had such a big budget. As soon as Duan Yu and Wan Duxing entered, two beautiful maidservants took off their long clothes. "Young Master, do you want to watch a dance or call me Miss?" A maid in red asked in a clear voice.”
"Little girl, what's with the ranking on the white marble?" Duan Yu asked.”
"This must be the first time Young Master has come to our Wan Chun House," the maid in red chuckled. Our Wan Chun House holds a ranking every three years. That was a rare event. The girls in the building had to practice hard for their future. On this white marble was the result of last year's competition. The first place in Elegant Garden and Rainbow Garden could take their natal musical instruments as their surnames. It was a great honor for the government to agree.”
Wan Duxing was puzzled." Little Missy, don't try to trick me. Then why is the first place of Elegant Garden surnamed Zi?"”
The maid in red understood and said with a trace of jealousy,""Sister Zi, you are proud and aloof. She said that her family name was given to her by her parents, and she did not want to change her family name to make her parents sad.”
Wan Duxing nodded and nudged Duan Yu.""Big Brother Duan, I didn't expect this Zi Wuxia to be so filial.”
Duan Yu smiled slightly. This was just a means to please the crowd, this fool.
The red-clothed maidservant brought Wan Duxing and Duan Yu to the central hall and sat down. After that, she handed their clothes to the manservant who was responsible for looking after them. He took a pot of wine for the two of them and stood beside them, waiting for them at any time.
Wan Duxing couldn't help but sigh,"The boss behind this brothel doesn't seem to be an ordinary person."”
Tsk tsk, this method, this scheming. He was really meticulous. He had taken into account the needs of the guests.
Duan Yu was a little tired from sitting, and he was more interested in enjoying the Wan Chun Pavilion. He instructed Wan Duxing and slowly walked up the stairs. The stairs meandered up, and at every corner, there were famous people writing inscriptions. At the corner of the first floor, it was actually…Duan Yu was speechless. It was actually written by his cheap father, Duan Zhengchun: Drunk.
Hmph, this old pervert. It seemed like he had been to brothels like this many times. Poor mother, she went to a dojo at such a young age.
As he thought of this, Duan Yu smiled and continued to move forward with his hands behind his back. All kinds of beautiful women were seen holding wine cups as they filed in from the corridor. There was a small silver bell on both his hands and feet. Ding, ding, ding. The sound was crisp and clear.
As he thought about it, he climbed to the ninth level. At this moment, there were fewer people. Occasionally, one or two people would pass by. Basically, they were all greeting the guests downstairs.
Duan Yu was about to go downstairs when he suddenly saw a dark little staircase around the corner. Out of curiosity, Duan Yu went up the stairs. When he reached the top, he saw an open space before him. He had reached the top floor. The stars in the night sky twinkled, as if they could be reached with one hand. He looked around and saw a purple shadow standing by the railing. The purple color blended into the night. Duan Yu was shocked. He walked to the side without batting an eyelid.
Apparently, the purple shadow was also slightly stunned. The purple shadow glanced at Duan Yu and saw a beautiful youth standing in the wind. He let out a sigh of relief. Duan Yu saw a peerless beauty. Her facial features were obviously ordinary, but when combined together, they formed a delicate and shy face. Looking at his face, he looked extremely docile.
"What's wrong, Miss?" Duan Yu asked.”
The purple shadow ignored Duan Yu and took a step forward. Duan Yu was stunned. So this beautiful girl was going to jump off a building. Duan Yu couldn't help but take a step forward.
"If you take another step forward, I'll jump down," the purple shadow shouted.”
As expected, Duan Yu obediently stopped moving forward. Instead, he found a flat spot and sat down. "Young lady, I won't disturb you. If you want to dance, then dance."”
Zi Ying was even sadder. She had nothing to live for. She thought that someone had come to persuade her to come down. She did not expect that she would end up in such a state. Two streams of tears slowly dripped down. He lifted his other leg slightly. Suddenly, a gentle voice said,""Outside the station, by the broken bridge, there is no master. It's already dusk, I'm sad alone, more wind and rain. I have no intention of fighting for spring, but I let the crowd envy me. Scattered into mud and ground into dust, only the fragrance remains.”
The purple shadow's eyes instantly widened, and tears flowed down. This poem touched his heartstrings and struck him hard. Before he died, he was able to meet a confidant who understood him. It could be considered that his trip to this world was not in vain. A brilliant flower bloomed at the corner of her mouth. "It's rare to meet a confidant in life. Unfortunately, I don't have the chance to drink with a confidant.”
"Since you've taken me as your bosom friend, why do you want me dead?" Duan Yu continued.”
"What do you mean, Young Master?" Ziying asked doubtfully.”
Duan Yu stood up and said,"Miss, you're jumping off a building here. It was fine if he could not see this scene. However, the girl jumped off the building and a murder occurred. If the government comes to investigate, I won't be able to get rid of this suspicion. Besides, this beautiful lady jumped off a building in front of me. If her death was terrifying, it would be a lingering shadow. He probably wouldn't be able to sleep for the next few months.”As he spoke, Duan Yu quietly circulated his Rippling Subtle Steps.”
