Chapter 34 Brother Mo's Courtesy Part 4
"No." Gao Auntie replied, "She was born to the Third Young Master's concubine. She is five years old this year."
Concubine? I married my first wife four years ago, and my concubine already had a son at that time? This is intriguing.
Mo Zi asked: "How many concubines does the Third Young Master have?"
"There are several, but there is only one. The girl who has been serving the Third Young Master since childhood is two years older than the Third Young Master, and her name is Jinsi." Aunt Gao even knows her name.
Why not call her Canary? Mo Zi felt uncomfortable hearing this name and felt extremely disgusted, "The Third Young Master dotes on her?"
"Well, how could you not favor him? The two wives he married were like that. Not only did Jinsi serve him since childhood, but they also gave birth to children for him. If it weren't for the fact that their status was really incompatible, they wouldn't have been raised as wives.
There are those scandalous things." Gao Auntie herself is an ordinary citizen, and her words tend to be gold-plated.
"Have you ever seen the Third Young Master and Jinsi?" Mo Zi took advantage of the situation and asked.
"I just went back to the Prince's Mansion and talked with the old princess. The third young master came with gold silk and a pair of children to say hello and take a look. It's a couple made in heaven, plus two beautiful children.
, making others envious. The princess didn't like Jinsi's low status, so she asked her to go back to her courtyard after greeting her, leaving only the Third Young Master talking to the two grandchildren. I think Jinsi is a sensible person. Princess Ban
She had a stern face, but she was not angry, she was smiling and doing all the etiquette, and her advances and retreats were very measured." Aunt Gao didn't realize that the more she talked, the more she was getting biased.
"After all, he is the legitimate son of the palace. It's okay to take a concubine, but the wife cannot do as she pleases." Mo Zi didn't have that kind of idea. It was based on the values of the entire society.
"Who says it's not the case? But the way the Third Young Master looks at Jinsi, there is no room for anyone else in his eyes. My face turns red when I look at him. I heard that the Third Young Master took over Jinsi when he was sixteen.
After giving birth to a son, I took a concubine. It has been seven or eight years, and the relationship is so good that it is airtight." Aunt Gao looked at Mo Zi again, "Actually, even if I have heard those rumors, the truth or falsehood has nothing to do with us outsiders. I advise
Your young lady has thought carefully about it, and is really afraid that she will be wronged if she gets married. You said that you are the apple of your parents' eye at home, who can bear to marry her, and your husband-in-law loves his concubine even more than you?"
It turned out that Aunt Gao could see clearly.
"Auntie, what you said makes sense." Mo Zi nodded in agreement. It's hard to say whether the divorce was due to the elder resenting the younger, so they used different methods to fight against it, or whether the younger was beaten down.
But one thing is certain, the Third Young Master trusts Canary very much and will always stand by her no matter what.
"Brother Mo, one more thing, I have to advise you not to get married. If your lady wants to marry so far away, you will definitely have to accompany her. Then it will be difficult to meet her." Aunt Gao said this, her eyes narrowed with smiles.
.
"It's not a formal matchmaking proposal. What you told me, I have to tell the girl and let her make her own decision." Mo Zi looked at the sky, Heiyo stood up with his hands on his legs, "I've been bothering you for a long time, I have to leave.
Already."
"Have lunch and then leave." Gao Auntie asked her to stay.
"No, thank you for telling me this, otherwise it would be all nonsense." Mo Zi walked towards the gate of the Gao family.
"You're welcome. Because the third young master divorced his second wife, the old princess is still angry with him. She keeps a straight face and doesn't speak to him when they meet. No matter how much you try to coax the third young master, it's no use. I heard the princess say to wait for the new daughter-in-law to come in.
Grandma forgave him. He was looking for someone to come to Luozhou." Aunt Gao opened the door for Mo Zi.
Mo Zi looked at the people in the alley and joked, "Now that we've divorced each other in Xanadu, no one dares to marry anymore because we're so scared, so we have no choice but to develop outwards?"
Aunt Gao cried out, "Good boy."
When Mo Zi reached the entrance of the alley, he looked back at her, leaning on the threshold and waving to himself, laughing so hard.
After leaving the Gao family, Mo Zi did not go back to Cinian Temple, but went to another place. The purpose was the same, to find out about Young Master Xiao. It was not that she did not believe what Aunt Gao said, but the two paragraphs about divorcing his wife
Rumors, I still want to know more. Besides, now that I have left the house, there is no reason to go back so soon.
Mo Zi walked through the civilian area and arrived at Qingqiufang, the most prosperous area in Dongcheng.
Qingqiufang houses Wangqiu Tower, the best restaurant in Luozhou. Wangqiu Tower has the famous three beauties - fine wine, delicious food, and beauties. Of course, beauty is the most attractive to businessmen and dignitaries. It is fundamentally different from ordinary brothels.
, in Wangqiu Tower, you can also invite beauties to accompany you during the day. You can accompany them to compose poems, sing music, and play chess, pour wine and listen to the guests at the same table, and even play cards, embroider, and have an impromptu little show. Both male and female guests can do it.
Accompany, as long as you can afford the money in the box. The quality of the beauties is much higher than that of prostitutes. They do not sell their bodies, and they sign an annual contract with the restaurant. The beauties are divided into four levels: dancers, singers, piano players, and sitters.
, there is a first-level price, and the seat holder is the highest, because only those who can sing, dance, and play the piano can sit down. The restaurant owner takes a 70% commission to pay for the clothing and daily expenses. But the beauties get tips from the guests, and the boss owns them.
No matter. After the contract expires, the option rights of both parties are the same.
The outer hall of Wangqiu Tower is the same as that of ordinary restaurants. At most, it is more spacious and brighter. If you want to eat in the inner hall, private rooms, or even pavilions and pavilions in the garden, the price will be different. There are high platforms in the garden, and those
New singing and dancing piano players have a certain number of performances every day, which not only allows them to practice their talents, but also allows the guests to enjoy them. Killing two birds with one stone.
As soon as Mo Zi entered the outer hall, the second brother came to ask where he would eat.
"Inner Hall." There were many people talking in the outer hall, and there was no stage to divert people's attention.
The waiter saw that Mo Zi was not dressed well, but he did not dare to look down on the guest. He led her into the inner hall, handed her over to the people inside, and then left. There was a strict division of labor inside and outside. None of the waiters inside looked like waiters.
Wearing the same blue shirt and white silk trousers, and a purse with his name embroidered on his waist, he was full of energy.
"Dingzi, this is a guest going to the private room. You go look after the other tables and I'll lead you upstairs." A man in his thirties wearing a blue robe stepped forward and said to the waiter leading Mo Zi.
His purse was embroidered with the word Zhao Liang.
"Zhao Zhang, yes." Ding Zi went to give someone some tea.
"Follow me." Manager Zhao went up the central staircase and opened the door of the southernmost wing. "Please wait a moment. Someone will come to take your order."
"Excuse me." Mo Zi walked in and looked at the menu on the table, which became more and more exquisite.
Manager Zhao closed the door and left.
Mo Zi opened a fan, facing the high platform. There were three young piano players, playing the sound of mountains and flowing water. Their skills were not deep, and their skills could only be called proficient, not exquisite. But the wonderful thing was that the three of them were united, and they could actually play the music.
Every note was perfect, as if they were one. After finishing the song, I could hear cheers from downstairs. It seemed that it really attracted the guests.
Suddenly, a gust of breeze tickled Mo Zi's cheeks. When she turned around, she couldn't help but smile when she saw the middle-aged man wearing a bright green brocade robe despite his short stature.
