() In the dead of night, the hustle and bustle that had been bustling for a day finally subsided. Fengmanlou had a young Turtle Gong. The power structure among Fengmanlou and Turtle Gong was reshuffled, and the belongings of each girl during the day were about to be reorganized.

Lying on the bed with his arms pillowed on his head, Liu Jian thought about everything that happened today, feeling a bit like he was in the clouds. The cool breath in his body kept swirling, gradually calming his thoughts, and the flickering candlelight on the roof

Swaying shadows...

He suddenly figured out something.

Mr. Turtle, in a literary sense, is a broker, but in a popular sense, he is a pimp. What is there to be proud of being a pimp? I just came back to my senses at this time. This is not an honor to the ancestors, but a bit of a discredit to the ancestors.

It is said that the old Liu family had ancestors like Liu Bang, a sinister emperor, and ideological philosophers like Liu Yuxi. Of course, he could not find much connection between the two.

Just go on living like a turtle? It's not an option, but if you don't hang around here, where will you go?

I finally understood why I sighed as I thought about it during the day. It was a sigh that there was no other place in the world, and it was also a sadness about the destiny.

In the future, if you want to be an official in the court or have a good name in history, being born in a brothel will always be a stain; if you want to travel around the world and do chivalry, you can't describe your family name as "Fengmanlouguigong", which will make people laugh.

Everyone said that Nuan Nuan misses girls, but Liu Jian climbed to the position of Turtle Gong, and he didn't think about how to give up for a long time. After all, he wanted to be Turtle Gong just to make money, and to buy the household registration and escape from the brothel as soon as possible; but now he has already

With a faster way to make money, it doesn't really matter whether he does it or not.

According to what Master Jiu said, his "Jade Forging Technique" requires constant external stimulation. The time and place are favorable and the people are right now. If he wants to go out and explore the world, he must wait for his internal strength to be perfected and have a skill by his side.

OK.

Thinking of the inner strength, I just remembered that I had not practiced the inner strength tonight, so I got up and put on a gray guard uniform, slipped out of the yard, and rushed towards the front building in the night...

Tonight, he spent the night studying with two turtle masters. Overall, he gained something. At least he understood the basic process of how turtle masters work.

First of all, there is the roster, which contains the names, ages, and looks of the girls. These are all things that he needs to memorize by heart. If the guests like what type, they have to introduce them one by one, such as the name of the dish.

Waiter.

He doesn't know if his Hundred Flowers Book has a similar function. He has been researching it for the past few years, but has not come up with any results.

The three turtle masters each have their own division of labor, and each secretly discusses how to allocate customers to the girl. One turtle master is responsible for sixteen or seventeen girls. If he gets into trouble, he will be laughed at. The general situation in the room is

They are not locked, and the guests who are looking for fun all know the rules and will not break in. They rely on the guidance and introduction of these turtle men.

But overall, this is an easy job. Although it requires a lot of effort and brainpower, you don't have to worry about being scolded by the old lady in the backyard if you drop something.

Liu Jian is not too worried that he will remember it wrong. Each girl's incense room has a name and number, and most of them are given by him. There is no need to do any homework before officially taking up the job.

After watching it tonight, a few words of flattery made the two seniors completely wary of him. Especially after Liu Jian took the initiative to give up the "forbidden love" that originally belonged to Wang Liu, the two immediately made a promise to him that they would definitely treat him in the future.

Take good care of this young turtle.

Is it really that good? Is it possible that you are still addicted?

When Liu Jian looked at these two seniors, he always felt that they were wearing several dark green hats on their heads, and they looked like two green turtles.

Tomorrow night, he will try to help the girls attract customers. There are two turtle men on the side to give advice, so there should be no jokes.

That being said, it was the first time the eldest daughter had boarded the sedan chair. Liu Jian was so nervous that he couldn't sleep all night long.

There is internal energy running in the body. In fact, there is no need to sleep much now. A little meditation can eliminate the fatigue of the body. Even if I practiced late on the eaves last night, I was still dancing to the sound of the chicken the next day. I dressed up and ran to Miss Suisi.

's yard.

Miss Suisi did not show up yesterday, and Liu Jian was afraid that she would be angry with him. After all, this sister had high hopes for him and taught him how to dance, write, write, and play the piano and flute, not just to make him a versatile turtle man.

Sui Si, however, was the same as before, continuing to teach him what he was supposed to teach, without mentioning the change in his identity.

Qingyin and Gui Gong didn't have much involvement at all, and Sui Si had no place to use Liu Jian, so it was reasonable for her not to care.

Liu Jian didn't bother too much, but he was inevitably a little more depressed. He seemed to want Sui Si's recognition, but he was afraid of her scolding.

It's always good to be the Turtle Gong. At least I can have some say in Fengmanlou in the future, and I can take more care of Die Wu, Xiao Mosquito, Shu Ge, and those friends who have been sleeping in the same room for two years.

He was going to start making arrangements for Die Wu's redemption. He had been thinking about it every time he had free time in the past few days, and now he had some plans. The general idea was to find someone to buy a courtyard for him, and then help Die Wu redeem himself as soon as possible.

The golden house hides the beauty.

After Diewu ransomed himself, Shu Ge would buy out all the dozen girls in the same room if he had the ability.

These ideas are good, but in the final analysis they come down to one problem - money.

A penny can't help a hero, but with the way of establishing a foothold in the world taught by the wine master, there is no need to worry about money. It's just that he needs to be more agile in doing this kind of thing, and he needs more time to prepare and overcome the magnanimous mentality of a gentleman.

obstacle……

He is familiar with the family and has a close relationship with himself, so his target must be the Xiao family, a big family in the city.

These are all plans for the future. Things need to be done slowly and step by step. There are still more than three years before Diewu's hair extension, which is enough for him to arrange everything.

But tonight, he had to pass the first hurdle of receiving guests safely.

"Every day near Xu, when our Fengmanlou opens, we will stand at the door and shout like that at the top of our lungs."

'Senior' Duan An told Liu Jian about the errands he had to do in half an hour. It is a common problem for people to rely on their old people and sell them. If there are new people, wouldn't it be a waste of resources if they don't use them? "Brother Hao and I haven't been eating well these past few days, and our throats are sore.

It hurts. If you shout loudly enough, it will also affect our Fengmanlou business."

"Then what should I shout?"

"You can shout whatever you want, but you need to let the customers passing by know that Fengmanlou is open for business."

Liu Jian nodded in understanding, frowning and thinking for a while. When he looked up, he saw Duan An strolling leisurely to the second floor with his hands behind his back, probably to catch up with his sweetheart.

They are red-card girls with good looks, and the third floor is a temporary wing, which is used by girls with less good looks in turn.

After all, the number of rooms in the front building is limited, and there are more than a hundred girls in Fengmanlou receiving guests in the front. These girls all have flower households issued by the government, and they belong to prostitutes or not.

The hall in the front building is very spacious, with more than a dozen red-painted wooden pillars divided into four rows, and there are soft chairs here and there for guests to rest. There are some flowers and plants placed in the hall, and many pictures of ladies are hung on the walls in the corners.

The gauze curtains are decorated with ambiguous colors.

The main entrance is made up of eight brightly carved wooden doors, with a total of four courtyards.

Not far from the main entrance, there is a small pool. There are several golden scales in the pool, which are treasures used to stimulate Feng Shui. Behind the pool is a thick red carpet, leading directly to the wide and bright stairs.

There are two flower stands next to the stairs. At this time, singers and dancers have been sitting on them one after another, playing musical instruments and arranging their flowing skirts. These are all pure women who do not sell their bodies. Among them, the outstanding ones are

It's the clear chanting in the backyard.

There were no less than fifty lanterns and candles on the top of the hall. At this time, several nurses stood on high chairs and carried bundles of red wax. They lit the lanterns one by one in the dusk light and shadow, and then carefully lit them.

Hang it back to its original position.

One after another, the flower girls who were in charge of soliciting customers gathered around Liu Jian and kneaded him for a while.

These flower girls are eloquent, and their words are charming and charming. They are all ready to be picked by anyone. Liu Jian couldn't resist after teasing a few words. Amidst the silly laughter of the flower girls, he hid with a blushing face.

Admiring the calligraphy and paintings on the side, waiting for the opening later.

The girls on the third floor also began to gather in the lobby. Dozens of girls were sitting on chairs talking, stretching their arms and legs to do some warm-up exercises, ready to start a tiring night.

Liu Jian felt a little nervous again. In order to relieve the pressure caused by his first day of work, he forced himself to appreciate the calligraphy and paintings on the wall. This painting was very beautiful. It was different from the pictures of ladies around him. There were a few strokes of clear peaks and a few dots of flying birds.

The charm of the landscape brought out is quite moving.

The scent of powder in the air began to get stronger. When Liu Jian looked at the calligraphy and paintings for a while and then turned around, he saw that all the girls in the front hall had gathered. There were also more than a dozen girls standing at the railing on the second floor, preparing to watch the new turtle's inauguration ceremony.

It won't be any fun.

More than a dozen girls were surrounding him but did not dare to come close, whispering these things. Liu Jian smiled at a few of them, with an inexplicable greenness in his smile... Brother, "A girl was so bold.

Taking a few steps forward, he held the silk handkerchief in his hand and asked, "Can the door be opened now?"

"Is it time yet?" Liu Jian asked, looking out at the sky, only to see that it was already nightfall.

"It's still a while away, but there's no need to worry about it," the girl explained with a smile. "The rules of our business are that as long as the sun goes down, we can open the door to welcome guests."

"Is that so? Then prepare to open the door and everything is properly arranged?"

"It's done, it's done," several flower girls greeted in unison, "Now I'm just waiting for you to shout, there are customers waiting outside."

"Then open the door!"

Liu Jian swung the hem of his long coat and strode towards the ajar front door. The girls made way and followed him with smiles.

The several nurses who had been prepared laughed and saw Liu Jian coming over, so they each opened the two wooden doors.

The big red lantern at the door illuminated the street, and more than a dozen flower girls above the main entrance were already ready, posing and posing in front of the more than 20 regular customers already standing on the street.

Liu Jian took the first few steps out of the main entrance, with several flower ladies lined up behind him. They were quite imposing this time.

He cupped his hands to the guests outside and shouted out the words he had been brewing in his voice. Worried that it was not loud enough, he even mobilized some inner breath to support him.

"Girls! Come out to pick up the guests!"

"Hey, here it comes!"
