Traveling through ancient times: daily life on the run

Chapter 230 A Trip to the Brothel

Besides, when Shen Huan heard the plan proposed by Luo Yu, her eyes lit up.

Could she really take on the important task of the Shen family and start a new family? However, she was more afraid that her mother and her brother, the eldest son of the Shen family, would not give her this opportunity.

Luo Yu understood her pain and smiled to comfort her: "Miss Shen, don't worry, we will take our time and start after we establish the women's academy."

Shen Huan looked at the women in the room and felt encouraged and confident.

On the second day, Qin Bingrui asked Luo Yu to go find the dandy young man Shen Yue.

This time they found out where Shen Yue was hanging out. He often went to "Qingyun Pavilion", the largest restaurant in Jiangzhou City. If they didn't know him, they would have thought it was a place where scholars drank tea and wrote poems.

Qin Bingrui and Luo Yu looked at each other, wondering if it was okay for this girl to go in.

Just as I was thinking about it, Song Si appeared out of nowhere.

"Master Zhu asked you two to follow him in, but Miss Luo Yu must dress as a man."

Qin Bingrui said "Oh" and smiled awkwardly, "That's right, your young master has the most experience. Sister Luo Yu, let's go and broaden your horizons."

Song Si's face was gloomy. She seemed to be proud of her origin as a girl from a brothel. She even wanted to teach a girl from a respectable family such lessons?

Unexpectedly, Luo Yu smiled and nodded: "I have never been to such a place. I wonder if it is the same as what you described to me before."

"Same thing, few of the sisters who come here volunteered. Of course, there are some who came here on purpose. Anyway, everyone has their own unique personality, and it's easiest to see here."

Luo Yu changed into men's clothes and followed Zhu Jinyou with Qin Bingrui.

Zhu Jinyou was dressed like a handsome young man in white. Qin Bingrui glanced at him and muttered to Luo Yu, "It's obvious that he's very experienced. His clothes are in line with the fashion of the brothels. You can see that every dandy boy in the world is dressed like this."

Zhu Jinyou glanced back at her.

Looking at Miss Luo Yu, who was dressed like a street performer, he raised his lips slightly and said, "Miss Luo Yu is dressed like this, does she think that brothels need young street performers?"

"I dress myself up as a cowherd, what's wrong with that?"

Qin Bingrui was immediately motivated when he heard this: "How about we open a gigolo club in the future?"

How could Zhu Jinyou not understand the three words "Cowherd Pavilion"? He chuckled. The good story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl was interpreted in a vulgar way by them.

Luo Yu knew what he meant by his dry laugh and pretended to be indifferent: "This cowherd even dared to steal the clothes of fairies. It's obvious that he is not a decent man. Running a cowherd parlor is indeed quite suitable for this kind of brothel."

Song Si's face turned red from choking. They really dared to say anything.

Besides, following Master Zhu into the "Qingyun Pavilion" was a big deal. It was as if the girls all knew him, and they all pushed aside other men and rushed towards them.

Qin Bingrui helped Luo Yu to block the girls' crowd, and Song Sizheng wanted to help his grandfather to block the bad peach blossoms in the sky, but Zhu Jinyou opened the fan in his hand, and the girls looked at him and stopped rushing forward.

The sharp-eyed girl called her mother over, and when her mother saw Mr. Zhu's folding fan, she immediately smiled.

Qin Bingrui felt strange. Could this fan contain any secret code?

Luo Yu whispered, "Super big customer, industry jargon. How could you not know this since you were once an insider?"

Qin Bingrui said with a grin, "I never pay attention to these things. After all, it's others who rush to see me, not me who delivers them to me, right?"

Luo Yu rolled his eyes at her. Wasn’t she proud of this?

When Zhu Jinyou heard these two people talking, he no longer had much interest in the various girls in the brothel. It would be better to listen to the two sisters laughing and joking with each other.

The mother of "Qingyun Pavilion" rushed over and immediately asked someone to invite the young masters to the largest private room.

Then, Mom brought some wonderful girls.

Qin Bingrui blinked and asked Zhu Jinyou with a smile: "Master, how do you think these girls compare to Miss Ling Hong back then?"

Zhu Jinyou: “…”

Song Si had seen Miss Ling Hong's stunning voice before. If he had known it would really be like this, he really shouldn't have spent money to listen to the music.

Qin Bingrui said jokingly: "Sir, you are experienced and knowledgeable. You must have seen a lot of good stuff. Why don't you recommend some to me?"

Luo Yu had already gotten started by then. He touched the girls' hands. They were all tender and delicate, and their skin was so fresh and beautiful. They were really at the age of blooming flowers, but it was a pity that they were doing this unpleasant job.

She casually asked the girl: "What books has Miss Clinique read?"

Clinique lowered her head shyly and said, "I've only read 'Instructions for Women' and 'The Book of Songs', but I'm best at singing."

"Not bad, as long as you can read. If there's a storybook about 'A sparrow girl accidentally landed on a tree and became the beloved wife of a marquis', would you like to read it?"

"Are there still such storybooks? I usually read about rich ladies eloping with scholars and such."

"There's no good ending to eloping with a poor scholar. That must be all made up by the poor scholar. These storybooks of mine were written by girls. If you have time, take your sisters to the library to buy some and read them. They're really wonderful."

"Yeah, okay."

The remaining three people looked at Miss Luo Yu naturally holding the girl's hand, talking and laughing, and found that she was a regular customer.

Song Sirang asked his mother who had left to go find a girl named "Ping Qiaoer". The girl who was chatting and laughing with Miss Luo Qi raised her head, a little surprised.

Qin Bingrui asked Zhu Jinyou: "Is this Ping Qiao'er the girl that Mr. Zhu has been thinking about? Is she very beautiful? I wonder what kind of girl Mr. Zhu likes? Are they gentle and cute, but also very frivolous and green tea?"

Zhu Jinyou remained calm and glared at her.

Song Si replied, "This Ping Qiao'er is Mr. Shen's favorite girl. Mr. Shen is even thinking of redeeming her!"

"It would be good to redeem myself, so that Mr. Shen doesn't have to come to this brothel every day to give money."

Qin Bingrui picked up the apple on the table, took a bite, and said "Pooh", it was so disgusting.

Zhu Jinyou wanted to kick her out.

Luo Yu noticed that Miss Clinique looked a little strange, so he asked her, "Miss Clinique, do you know Ping Qiao'er?"

Miss Clinique shook her head and said nothing.

Luo Yu turned his gaze to Zhu Jinyou, and Zhu Jinyou immediately asked Song Si to send the other girls out.

Qin Bingrui was extremely unhappy to see how well they were doing with each other.

"Mr. Zhu, you understood what my sister meant with just one look. What do you mean?"

Zhu Jinyou was puzzled: "What do you mean?"

"Exactly, how do you know what my sister is thinking better than I do? You need to be more careful with me, okay? She is my sister, the one I want to follow my whole life."

"..."

Song Si was secretly shocked. Could it be that this Miss Qin secretly likes Miss Luo Yu?

If Qin Bingrui had thought of letting Luo Yu cling to Zhu Jinyou to realize her dream before, she now felt that it was unnecessary. Zhu Jinyou was too cautious and cunning. He would not be devoted to one woman, and he was not someone who was easy to control.

If his sister really wants to get married, Young Master Murong is the most reliable one. He has to help Young Master Murong keep a close eye on her and prevent others from interfering.

Luo Yu was too lazy to pay attention to them.

After the other girls left, she continued to ask Miss Clinique: "Miss Clinique, do you know what happened to Ping Qiaoer? You seem a little afraid of this girl."

Clinique lowered her head and dared not speak. Zhu Jinyou asked Song Si to take out a silver note and hand it to her. It was a silver note for five hundred taels, enough for her to earn for a month.

Qin Bingrui wanted to reach out to take it, but Luo Yu took it and stuffed it into Qianbi's arms, whispering: "You don't have to report this money to your mother, it's a special reward from my grandfather for you."

Only then did Miss Clinique nod and begin to talk about Ping Qiaoer.

It turned out that the brothels were also divided into factions. "Qingyun Pavilion" was one of the three major pillars and factions. Ping Qiao'er happened to be the pillar of one of the factions. All the girls under her knew how to use charm and specialized in snatching rich men from other girls.

Shen Yue, the eldest son of the Shen family, was snatched away from a girl from Clinique's faction.

Qin Bingrui was stunned: "Is Shen Yue really that handsome? How could he be snatched away so often?"

Luo Yu took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Look at how beautiful Shen Huan is. How ugly can her brother be? Even if he's not handsome, he should be a refreshing and delicate type. Girls like this kind of little milk dog type."

Qin Bingrui crossed his legs and chuckled, "If we were to open a gigolo club, we'd definitely hire Shen Yue as the headliner."

Zhu Jinyou: “…”

Song Si and Clinique lowered their heads and remained silent. These two girls were too bold.

Zhu Jinyou smiled contemptuously and said to Luo Yu: "It seems that the young lady knows a lot and can even classify men."

Luo Yu pretended to be stupid and didn't say anything.

"Then Miss Luo Yu, tell me, what type are Song Si and I?"

Wow, this is a big deal.

Luo Yu stared at Zhu Jinyou with a forced smile, but did not avoid his cold gaze.

"Song Si should be the loyal dog type, but this is only for you, Mr. Zhu. To women, he is like a ferocious wolfhound. Even young girls are afraid of him."

When Song Si heard this, he realized that it was no wonder that Miss Shen Huan looked at him and was scared to tears last night.

Zhu Jinyou had a blank expression on his face, holding the teacup, waiting for her to continue.

"Mr. Zhu looks like a teddy bear..."

Qin Bingrui laughed in silence, and Zhu Jinyou glared at her fiercely, probably knowing that this description was definitely not a good one.

Before he could question her, Luo Yu repeatedly waved his hands to deny: "You are wrong, you are wrong. Master Zhu is like a Border Collie. He is the only one who can play with others, but others can't..."

"..."

No matter how you compare them, they are all dogs.
