Mo Shangqiu took out an ingot of silver from her bosom, causing the brothel madame's eyes to pop out. He did not expect Mo Shangqiu to be so generous, snatching the silver from Mo Shangqiu's hands as if he was afraid that Mo Shangqiu would go back on his word.
"Young Master, please come in. Miss Lan Xin will be here in a while.”The brothel madame left happily.
"Oh right, don't forget to prepare a table of food.”Mo Shangqiu then remembered that she had not eaten yet. She did not know if the food here was as good as the food in the inn.
"Young Master, please wait a moment."
Sure enough, the dishes were all served on the table in a short while. With a creak, the door opened. A woman who was as beautiful as him walked in.
The woman looked like a fairy, with a thin head and crescent eyebrows. Her eyes were filled with love as she slowly walked over with Butchie in tow. Her slender hands were holding a pipa, making people worry if they could hold the pipa.
"Greetings, Young Master." The moment the woman opened her mouth, it made one think of the term 'tender oriole chirp'.
The lotus flower is not as beautiful as the beauty's makeup, and the wind in the water hall blows the fragrance of pearls and jade.
"Greetings, Young Lady." Mo Shangqiu looked at the woman in front of her. She could be considered a beauty, but she paled in comparison to her aunt. Although Mo Shanxin was older than her, her charm was still there.
"What song does Young Master want to listen to? This little girl will play it now.”The woman slowly walked to the beaded curtain opposite the dining table and sat down, waiting for Mo Shangqiu to speak.
Mo Shangqiu was slightly startled. Listen to the song! Could it be that he was selling his skills and not his body?
"Miss is?" Mo Shangqiu's depressed appearance made people think that she had some thoughts about Lan Xin.
"This must be the first time Young Master has come to Ruyi Pavilion. Lan Xin is a performer, not a prostitute.”A smile appeared on Lan Xin's face. She did not fit the atmosphere of the brothel at all.
"Alright, Lan Xin, you can play a song at will.”Mo Shangqiu also sat down and poured herself a cup of wine, her expression indifferent. He couldn't tell what she was thinking.
As the strings were plucked, the sound of the zither rang out. Mo Shangqiu closed her eyes and quietly listened to Lan Xin playing a tune she did not know. The emotions revealed in the entire song were sad, and Lan Xin's face was covered with a layer of sadness.
Mo Shangqiu only opened his eyes after the song ended and looked at Lan Xin in a daze. She didn't expect that there would be a woman in this brothel who would reveal such a sad expression. She was different from them. If he didn't indulge in this place of fireworks, he wouldn't enjoy everything here. This kind of Lan Xin made people feel pity for her.
Mo Shangqiu handed the glass of wine that he had poured at the beginning to Lan Xin. Lan Xin was a little surprised. But he also took it.
"Miss Lan's music is very nice.”Mo Shangqiu forced a smile at her. He was already very handsome. With such a smile, who knew how many hearts she would win before she would stop. Naturally, Lan Xin was no exception.
"Get out of my way. I want to see Lan Xin.”There was a handsome man in the lobby below. He was very arrogant. Even the brothel madame couldn't do anything to him.
"Young Master Liu, Lan Xin is receiving guests. It's not convenient to receive you." The brothel madame also began to get anxious. This Liu Jianqi was a famous lecher in the capital. His family was big, and even the county government had to give in to him. That was why he was so arrogant.
"Visitor? Wasn't Lan Xin selling her body? I think she must be enjoying herself under some man now, right?”Liu Jianqi was very angry. He had been thinking about Lan Xin for a long time, but he had not succeeded.
"Young Master Liu, calm down. It's not convenient for Lan Xin to receive guests today.”The brothel madame had a headache, but she didn't dare to offend Liu Jianqi.
"I think Lan Xin pretended to be noble on the surface, but she's actually as licentious as those women.”Liu Jianqi insulted Lan Xin when he couldn't get it.
"Young Master Liu."
"Get lost." Liu Jianqi kicked away the brothel madame who was blocking his way, turned around, and ran upstairs. Today, he had to drag Lan Xin out and torture her.
" Bang…" Liu Jianqi kicked open the door to Mo Shangqiu's room.
Mo Shangqiu was sitting at the table and drinking with Lan Xin. Mo Shangqiu looked up at the culprit who had ruined the atmosphere. A trace of coldness flashed across his eyes.
"Lan Xin, I thought you didn't sell yourself? I want to see how long you can continue pretending, you hypocritical woman.”Liu Jianqi stared at Lan Xin lewdly.
"You." Lan Xin was furious and did not know what to say to refute him.
Mo Shangqiu treated Lan Xin as a close friend, so she could not bear anyone slandering her.
"You b * tch, is this enough? How about sleeping with me for a night?" Liu Jianqi took out a thousand taels of silver from his pocket and threw it into Lan Xin's arms.
"You." Lan Xin was so angry that her entire body was trembling. Tears welled up in her eyes, but they never fell.
Mo Shangqiu kicked Liu Jianqi out of the door and rolled out with him. However, Mo Shangqiu was so angry that he didn't show any mercy.
Liu Jianqi fell to the ground. He wanted to get up and see who was bold enough to hurt him. She tried her best to get up but failed.
Liu Jianqi glared at Mo Shangqiu fiercely with blood at the corner of his mouth.
"What are you staring at? I'll dig your eyes out.”Mo Shangqiu's tone was fierce, and the coldness in her eyes made one shudder.
"You." Liu Jianqi was so angry that his words were stuck in his throat. Looking at Mo Shangqiu's murderous gaze, he felt a little afraid.
" Hurry up and scram…" Mo Shangqiu's expression was even uglier than before. Liu Jianqi was slightly slower. Mo Shangqiu was probably going to kill him. She had plenty of ways to torture him and make him wish he was dead.
"Just you wait." Liu Jianqi stumbled up from the ground and limped downstairs.
"Are you alright?" Mo Shangqiu turned around and looked at Lan Xin, a trace of pity flashing in his eyes.
Lan Xin's face had already recovered, but it was still pale and colorless. No one could bear to hurt such a fragile woman. However, people who did not know what was good for them had to do something they regretted.
"Thank you for saving me, Young Master." Lan Xin bowed slightly, her expression dimming. There was a deep sadness between his brows.
"Miss Lan, you don't have to be so polite. You can go out first and call mother over. I have something to discuss with her.”Mo Shangqiu picked up the wine glass on the table and played with it.
In a daze, the brothel madame pushed open the door and entered. His face was full of smiles.
"Mom, quickly sit down." Mo Shangqiu passionately pulled the brothel madame to sit at the table.
"Young Master, what business do you have with me?" The brothel madame smiled brightly.
"How many years has Mom been managing the Ru Yi Restaurant?”The corners of Mo Shangqiu's mouth curled up slightly, looking mischievous.
"It's been almost ten years. The brothel opposite us would challenge us from time to time. Mother was old, and who knew how many decades she would still have to run the Ruyi Brothel.”The brothel madame's expression darkened a little. She had spent all her life's effort on Ruyi Pavilion. If she died one day, she didn't know who to hand this to. Mo Shangqiu was secretly delighted when she heard the brothel madame's words. It seemed that her intentions were really fulfilled.
"Then does Mom have any plans?”Mo Shangqiu stood up and looked at the scenery downstairs. A ripple rose in her heart.
"Plan! Sigh, Young Master, I can't find a suitable person to entrust this Ruyi Pavilion to.”The brothel madame's face was covered in tears, and a layer of sadness appeared on her face.
"Then how about this, Mom? How about you sell this Ruyi Restaurant to me? Sell it to me and let you help me manage it until you're unwilling to help me anymore, okay?”Mo Shangqiu stated his conditions.
"This." The brothel madame covered her mouth in shock.
"I'll give you fifty thousand taels.”Mo Shangqiu poured a glass of wine for the brothel madame.
"Alright, but Young Master must promise me that you will make the business of Ruyi Pavilion better and better.”This was the only wish of the brothel madame.
"Alright, I promise you. He would definitely make this Ruyi Pavilion unrivaled.”The determination in Mo Shangqiu's eyes made one have no choice but to believe her.
"Then I'll bring the silver tomorrow." After Mo Shangqiu finished speaking, she waved her paper fan and strode out.
Before a window, a heart followed the footsteps.
Mo Shangqiu returned to the inn and lay on her bed, thinking about how to change the appearance of Ruyi Pavilion. It seemed that everything had to be changed. She had another purpose for buying the brothel. A palace must be built on that land.
The next day, Mo Shangqiu took the 50,000 taels and went to Ruyi Restaurant. Lan Xin saw that she had appeared again and felt an indescribable joy in her heart.
It was in the same room where Mo Shangqiu had handed the fifty thousand taels to the brothel madame. The brothel madame was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.
"Mom, since you want me to manage the Ru Yi Restaurant well, then I want to reorganize the Ru Yi Restaurant from inside out. What do you think? The Ruyi Pavilion will not receive any customers for three days. What do you think?”Mo Shangqiu waved his paper fan. The sunlight shone on his body, making him look like a dream. People couldn't take their eyes off him.
Following that, the Ruyi Pavilion temporarily stopped receiving guests and would open its doors to receive guests three days later. This made the people who frequented the Ruyi Pavilion extremely curious. They all wanted to see what they were up to.
The first thing was that the Ruyi Pavilion's signboard had been changed to Drunken Life and Dream Death. It had a more poetic name, and the interior was completely renovated.
The stage that used to be used for dancing had been reconstructed. There was a round stage outside, and there was a secret passage in the middle of the stage that led to a room behind it. This place was called the dressing room. There was a swing hidden on the beam above the stage, and the rope of the swing was covered with flowers. In the middle of the stage, there was a curtain that looked like a flower. It was filled with petals and was covered with a very thin thread. Glass lamps of various sizes were hung on the silk threads. This place was like a starry sky, and as far as the eye could see, it was filled with sparkling stars. The stairs leading to the second floor had also been changed to spiral stairs, and the tables in the lobby had been replaced with round tables. There was a wall full of signs with the names of the women in the brothel. Below the names was an exquisite vase. In the future, there would be a rule in Drunken Life, Dreams, and Death, which was that mortals must have a flower in their hands. Whoever they thought was the best for that night would be thrown into the corresponding woman's vase.
As a result, that place became a unique place. There was another major change. In the future, the drunk girls would willingly sell their bodies and sell their skills. They would only need to hand over half of the silver they were rewarded with.
Every month, there would be a competition for the top courtesan. The winner of the competition would not only be rewarded, but they might also earn more money and become more famous. The competition for the Courtesan Belle was voted by the guests. These rules made the business of Drunken Life and Dream Death extremely popular in the future, causing the girls from other buildings to jump ship and come here.
Three days later, the sound of firecrackers rang out as soon as the sky turned dark. Drunken Life in Dreams was surrounded by a crowd. They finally knew what had happened in the Ruyi Pavilion during the past three days.
