Chapter 10: Clever words and thieves

Another glass of wine.
Hong Wei was a little tired.
It's not tiredness, it's boredom.
These days, he has been staying in this Yuqi Building, and what he does is nothing more than eating, drinking and whore.
As one of the most advanced brothels in Hangzhou, the hardware and services of Yuqi Building are naturally not bad, but... people like Hong Wei have been to too many similar places, and his desire for wine and sex has been lifted to a very high level. Just "good" is not enough for him.
As mentioned in the previous article, Hong Wei became a flower-picking thief because he was no longer satisfied with the excitement that he could buy with money. Now he would go into this brothel, just to see how the brothels in Hangzhou are different from those he had visited in the past.
The result is no different.
So his bad thoughts started to move again...
At this moment, he was holding a wine glass in his hand and hugging the girl in his arms, but he was thinking that I would have to go out for a walk tomorrow to see if there was anything on the road that I like. If the big girl and wife of a good family couldn't meet a good wife, I would go and ask where there were ladies who could not go out of the door, or go to a nunnery to explore.
Look at his thoughts... To be honest, compared with him, the Ximen official was even worse than that.
Even he himself didn't know when he became like this. A servant who only dared to sneak a glance at women before he was twenty-five years old has now become an evil ghost in the beauty and a demon king in the flower. If the master who left his martial arts and mental skills under the valley knew that he had caused such a disaster, he would be so angry that he would crawl out of the soil.
"Enke, are today's wine and food... not to taste?"
The girls in Yuqilou are also very good at observing their expressions. Seeing the expression on Hong Wei's face, they asked tentatively.
When Hong Wei heard this, he came to his senses and smiled, and reached out to squeeze the other person's body again, "Haha... wherever there, I'm just thinking about something."
Just as they were talking, the brothel's madam just opened the door and came in.
As soon as he heard Hong Wei's words, the madam raised her voice and said, "Oh~ Mr., what are you saying..." She said, and then came to Hong Wei, "Where are the girls here here? Why are you still absent-minded when you are beautiful?"
Hong Wei glanced at her and curled the corner of his mouth, "Ha... Madam, you are here just right, I'll ask again..." He is an old client, and he won't talk nonsense around with the Madam, and said directly, "Did you... have you brought any girl I've seen?"
Coincidentally, the madam came in now and wanted to find an opportunity to tell him about this.
"Oh, uncle." But she still wanted to take the airs and put on an unhappy look. She looked at the two girls who were accompanying Hong Wei at this moment, "Why are you Cuicui Honghong? Did you offend you by saying the wrong thing? Or did you not serve me well? The girl is still in your arms, so just ask me this?"
Seeing this, Hong Wei sneered, his attitude was still calm, "They... are pretty good."
That's all his words, and he didn't say it any more.
The meaning of the words is waiting for the other party to understand it himself.
Who are the ones who can become madams? The ones who are the most powerful are all human spirits. They are the type that can definitely survive to the late stage in palace movies. Can you not understand what he means?
"You go out first." After a breath, the madam's face sank and said something to the two girls in the room, winking.
Cuicui and Honghong also leave quickly, after all, who wants to work overtime if they can get off work?
After the two of them left the house and brought them to the door, the madam took the air and moved a few steps to the side with a cold look on her face, then sat down at Hong Wei's table with a talkative attitude.
Seeing her tone, Hong Wei was not angry, but was a little happy, because he understood that the old woman was posing in this state, which meant that she was still hiding "good goods".
"Mom..." So, the next second, Hong Wei changed the other party's name and his tone became kinder, "...but what's inconvenient to say?"
"Hmph... This is convenient and inconvenient..." The madam paused when she said this, "...Isn't it still a look at you?"
When Hong Wei heard this, he became even more excited, "Oh~ I understand, I understand..."
While speaking, his right hand reached into his arms, quickly took out two ingots of silver, and put it on the table.
These two ingots are both large whole silver. He took the broken silver to find the silver smith two days ago. Yes, you read that right. The day after he collected Brother Sun's money, he went to find the silver smith. In other words, he had actually been exposed.
"Well..." The madam looked at the silver on the table with a squinted look, but didn't go to get it. She just pondered and continued, "Master, that's not what I mean."
"Oh?" Hong Wei was a little unhappy when he saw that she was still keeping him in hiding. Now he is used to being a villain, and his patience has become very poor. He often turns his back on his face after a few words, "Do you think you are too little?"
"Oh~" The madam's attitude softened again after being so fierce, "Master, please listen to me and tell you..." After saying this, she pretended to reach out and put the silver on the table into her arms, "It's really not about how much money it is..."
When Hong Wei saw that the other party had taken the money, he felt a lot in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face again, "Ha... I understand." He immediately used his experience of visiting kilns in high-intensity over the past six months to speculate a possibility, "Is there a 'high' girl who is not willing to meet guests at will?"
His inference is very reliable.
In Dazhong, there are many brothels, especially the high-end ones, who really like to do this.
Some of them are true, but more often... it is not that the girl is really unwilling to pick up customers, but that the madam deliberately created a noble character and engaged in hunger marketing to raise prices.
"Oh..." Unexpectedly, the old madam in front of her sighed, "It's not that she is unwilling to 'see guests at will', but that she doesn't see guests at all."
"Ah?" Hong Wei raised his eyebrows and said, "Mom, do you treat me as an amateur?" He paused for a moment and continued, "After entering your place, can you still let her go? As long as you think, you will not be able to force her to submit?"
He was right. Apart from the special situation like the Duke, which kiln would normally raise idle people?
If a brothel is really forced to pick up a woman, there are so many ways to do it, unless you really have the courage to kill one head and end it all... But that kind of person is a very rare person after all. If there were too many, the brothel would have gone bankrupt long ago.
"Master, you don't know anything about this." The madam said, and picked up a glass of leftover wine on the table that the girl had just drunk, took a sip, and said, "This is not an ordinary woman. I have been in this business for decades. I'm the first time I see you like a 'skinny horse' like a good quality..."
"Wait." As soon as she started, Hong Wei interrupted her, "After a long time of trouble, she was just a 'skinny horse'?"
It is normal for him to react like this.
What is a thin horse? To put it bluntly, it is a girl raised by a human trafficker who specializes in "slim horse trading".
This kind of human trafficker usually does not steal, but directly pays to buy girls with good looks from poor people's families. After buying them back, they teach them singing, dancing, piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, etc. When the girl grows up, the human traffickers divide them into several levels according to their appearance and talent. The "highest" ones will be sold as concubines with the rich, the "middle" ones will be used as servants or maids, and the "lowest" ones will be sold into Chu Pavilion, Fireworks and Willow Lane.
Therefore, when Hong Wei heard the word "skinny horse", his first reaction was that he would definitely be inferior to the brothel, so he was a little disappointed.
"Don't worry, listen to me." The madam was not angry, and then curled her lips and continued, "Although it is a 'skinny horse', it is not because of the bad situation that it was sold to us. There is a reason."
"What's the reason?" Hong Wei also responded with the mentality of listening to it for now.
Then the madam said, "This girl was bought by someone with a large sum of money and wanted to give it to Mr. Wan, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Who would have thought that... she was caught by the wife of the minister before she could pass the door. When the lady saw that she was amazingly beautiful, how could she allow her to stay? But she was afraid that she would be sent back in the future, so she secretly sent someone to send her out of the mansion and sell it away again, and then she moved to me." She said this and drank another sip of wine, "Don't think she is a 'skinny horse'. I bought her for a full 200 taels... At this price, I still think I've picked up a bargain... Not to mention you guys, this girl, I was moved when I saw it."
Hearing this, Hong Wei's heart became restless. He didn't care about his identity as a guest, so he picked up the wine pot and poured a glass of wine for the madam. "Mom, do you think this is serious? Is she that beautiful?"
"Look at what you said." The madam was confident in his attitude, "Can I lie to you? If it is fake, will you lose the problem after taking a look?"
"Yes, yes..." Hong Wei's smile was almost unable to hold back, "Then... what happened when you said she didn't accept customers?"
"Oh... isn't that the case..." The madam responded unhappily, "The girl said that although she was born as a thin horse, she is still a virgin... Originally, she recognized her as a concubine with the minister, but now she has been wandering to me and ruined her wealth.
"She is a smart person. She knows that she wants to marry into a good family in the future and cannot pick up customers from me. So she discussed with me and said that she would not see customers, but she would not let my old woman raise her for nothing. As long as someone is willing to redeem her, she would just go with others. All the money she redeems belongs to me, and she doesn't want to pay any penny.
"I'm thinking about it... Even if I have a way to force her to surrender once, I won't make that much money for two hundred taels. If she gets angry the next day, she throws a plate and wipes her neck with porcelain, then I'll lose a lot, so..."
The madam said this, but the meaning was almost the same, and Hong Wei didn't care about the others.
"Mom, this girl... is really the eldest daughter of a yellow flower?" After hearing the whole lot, Hong Wei's attention was nothing more than this sentence.
"Ha...why am I lying to you?" said the madam, "Is that true? If you and her really succeed, wouldn't you see it yourself?"
"Oh..." Hong Wei nodded, "Okay, okay..." He muttered twice, and suddenly remembered something, "Eh? Then when will I see her?"
"Well..." said the madam, "It's not okay to let her see you directly. She said she wouldn't see the guests, but... I can let you take a look at her secretly."
"Secretly take a look?" Hong Wei thought, "How do you think?"
"That's easy." The madam replied, "It's too late today. I'll find a moment to find a moment tomorrow and call her while delivering food to her. Then you'll take a look outside the room." She said this, showing a confident look, "It's not that my old woman boasted, this girl... Just this time, you'll never be able to pull it out after you've seen it."
"Wow~" Hong Wei smiled, "Then I really need to take a good look."
"But, Master..." said the madam, "If you're satisfied with this, she raised her hand and made a gesture of rubbing money, "How much are you planning to redeem her?"
"Well..." Hong Wei thought for a while, "How much do you think is suitable?"
"Ah..." Hearing this question, the madam immediately began to look at her nails in a pretentious manner, and her tone became pretentious. "If this girl is willing to pick up customers, she is a money tree... Don't think that she has spent 200 taels of money, with her appearance, she will probably earn it back in half a year. After that, even if she gets older, her appearance fades and her body loosens... she can still be more prosperous for ten or eight years, and she will have to earn a thousand or eight hundred taels."
"Haha..." Hong Wei smiled, "It's hard to say what happened in ten or eight years. I'm touching this eye... I haven't seen anyone yet, so I can't say the price to death. However, when I see it tomorrow, if I think it's good, then I will at least count it..." As he spoke, he stretched out five fingers, "...I wonder what my mother wants?"
When the madam heard this, her eyes turned, "Well... let me think about it too."
"Okay." Hong Wei continued, "We all think about it..."
When the two of them said this, they seemed to have reached a tacit understanding, and each raised their glasses and had a drink.
In fact, Hong Wei will not "think again". He has already thought about it and will go directly to "picking flowers" tonight. As for the money, he will not give a penny. Now that he can count it, he just wants to stabilize the other party.
"Ah" Hong Wei sighed happily, and then said, "By the way, I said that for so long, what is the name of that girl, how old this year, and where she lives in... You haven't told me yet."
