(additional update)

Before that, Jiang Sheng ate something to fill her stomach, and then went to a clothing store.

After a while, Jiang Sheng came out of the clothing store and put on a moon-white robe. Half of her black hair was tied up into a bun and tied with a foggy blue strip. The other half was let down and fell under her shoulders, and she also had some dots drawn on it.

The purpose of makeup is to make facial features more three-dimensional and masculine.

But Jiang Sheng was still dissatisfied after looking in the bronze mirror, so she bought a half metal mask from a stall and put it on, only exposing her eyes and the area below the tip of her nose. She nodded with satisfaction.

Jiang Sheng, who transformed into a young man from an aristocratic family, hired a carriage and headed for the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

During the day, the Xiaoxiang Pavilion was a bit deserted, with only two girls standing by the carved wooden pillars to watch the door. The facade was elegantly decorated, not like a brothel, but more like a teahouse.

Looking at it from Jiang Sheng's perspective, the large plaque had the words "Xiaoxiang Pavilion" written in small regular script with hairpin flowers. The writing was sharp and sharp, and it seemed that the owner's resolute and resolute character could be seen from it. Jiang Sheng's eyes stayed on the writing on the plaque for a few seconds.

.

Below the plaque, you can still see the jasper chimes placed on the red sandalwood stands on the left and right sides, exuding a free and elegant bookish atmosphere.

When I met Jiang Sheng, a girl asked: "Master, who are you looking for?"

When you come to Xiaoxiang Pavilion at this time, you usually make an appointment with the girls there in advance.

Jiang Sheng asked: "Is your mother here?"

The girl and the other one looked at each other: "Have you made an appointment with Mother Chu?" They did know that a young master would come to Xiaoxiang Pavilion from time to time, and Mother Chu was very respectful to him.

Jiang Sheng told a little lie and met Chu's mother in Xiaoxiang Pavilion without any hindrance.

At that time, Chu's mother was resting leisurely in her bedroom. When she heard the girl reporting that a young man wearing a mask was looking for her, she quickly put down the flower-wrapped agate lamp in her hand and stood up to greet him.

Mother Chu seemed surprised: "Why are you here at this time?"

Jiang Sheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Who is Mother Chu referring to?"

Her voice was warm but not soft, clear but not crisp. When she heard this voice, Chu's mother was stunned and realized that she had identified the wrong person: "You...are you?"

Chu's mother patted her thighs in her heart. It looked so similar, she almost recognized him! It wasn't about appearance, after all, the other person was wearing a mask, it was just a feeling.

After knowing that she had recognized the wrong person, Chu's mother adjusted her facial expression and slowly looked Jiang Sheng up and down: "What is this girl looking for me for?"

To be fair, Jiang Sheng's masculine attire is quite acceptable, she wears a mask, and her stature is considered tall among women. Ordinary people would not be suspicious after seeing her.

But who is Mother Chu? The madam of Xiaoxiang Pavilion, the No. 1 brothel. With her sharp eyes, she quickly saw that Jiang Sheng was a woman.

Mother Chu touched her chin.

The women who come to their place are only in one situation - to be captured and raped.

But this girl is interesting. When people come to catch someone, they are all servants who come in groups to make noise, but she is dressed in men's clothes and looks cool. As an old expert who has been in this area for many years, I am almost fooled by her.

Could it be that he's not the husband? He's a good friend or fiancé, and he doesn't dare to make a fuss?

"I really have something to ask you." Jiang Sheng took out a piece of silver as he spoke.

Chu's mother said she didn't dare to accept it and refused: "Hey, if you have any questions, just tell me and I will help if I can."

My boss has already said that if someone comes to ask about a matter like arrest/rape, tell the truth and there is no need to hide it.

Furthermore, Chu's mother's little gold box is enough to redeem the lives of all the girls in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, but she really doesn't like Jiang Sheng's silver ingot.

Jiang Sheng didn't feel embarrassed and asked directly: "Do you know a person named Qian Xuechao?"

Mother Chu brought Jiang Sheng into the private room, and the two sat opposite each other.

"You mean Mr. Qian?" Of course Chu's mother remembered this person.

Because of him, Xiaoxiang Pavilion dismissed several girls.

The girls in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion are all proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and song. After all, most people come here not to satisfy their desires, but to find a confidante.

Girls are trained to have both talent and appearance. They must be beautiful, considerate, versatile, able to recite poems and compose poems, play the piano and play chess...

Just cultivating a girl costs a lot of money. Having to dismiss several girls at once made Chu's mother feel distressed.

Chu’s mother asked tentatively: “Who are you, Mr. Qian?”

Jiang Sheng hesitated for a while whether to tell a long story about what happened or to make up an identity casually: "Do I have to answer?"

"ah?"

Mother Chu smiled: "Not really."

After all, there is no basis for what she says. If she wants to know, she will naturally check it out herself.

Seeing that Jiang Sheng didn't want to say anything, Chu's mother didn't care, so she didn't ask any more questions. She poured Jiang Sheng a cup of tea, took a slow sip first, and then said leisurely: "Master Qian came some time ago, but then he didn't come.

"

This is half true and half false.

This Mr. Qian was a frequent customer of Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and was later attracted by the owner... Mother Chu thought about the words used by the owner.

Oh! I've been blacklisted! Of course I can't come back again.

Jiang Sheng asked: "If he comes here, who does he usually look for?"

Mother Chu answered one by one: "Ucommia ulmoides, perilla and holly."

"Are these three girls in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion?"

"They are no longer from the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. They took the deed of betrayal and left."

Jiang Sheng turned the tea cup: "Then do you know where they are now?"

Chu's mother didn't care: "Who knows, maybe she is working as a concubine for a wealthy family, or maybe she is still waiting hard for Master Qian to come to marry her."

Mother Chu was disdainful.

She said a long time ago that the most taboo thing in their profession is heart-to-heart communication. Look, you just refused to listen to her, and now you are asking for trouble.

It's great to be in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. Even if a drunkard comes to make trouble, the sisters will help. Chu's mother has never forced the girls in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion to pick up guests. If they don't want to, at most they will earn a few less coins and won't be punished.

Jiang Sheng asked again: "Didn't these three girls come back later?"

Mother Chu's eyes rolled around: "I've come back before."

Bai Su came here and said she wanted to go back to Xiaoxiang Pavilion, but how could her employer take in someone whose heart was elsewhere? Mother Chu had never seen Eucommia ulmoides and Holly Chu.

Jiang Sheng asked a few more questions, and finally discussed with Chu's mother: "If anyone comes back next time, you can keep her until..."

She subconsciously wanted to say Zuixianlou again, but the word "zui" came to her lips and she changed her mind: "Can you come to Shanrentang and let me know?"

Mother Chu asked: "The Shan Ren Tang in Liu Langzhong?"

Jiang Sheng nodded.

Mother Chu came down and said, "Okay."

Jiang Sheng thanked her, and when she came out of the private room, she happened to see a man walking not far away who was wearing a mask somewhat similar to her own. He was wearing an indigo gown and was probably taller than her.

Their eyes met, Jiang Sheng recognized who was over there at a glance, and his heart skipped a beat.

Jiang Sheng was embarrassed, and suddenly felt like he had sneaked out to play and was caught by his elders.

Mother Chu looked at it from a distance and up close. She was a little afraid to recognize it now.

Standing not far away... is the boss, right?

Until Jiang Xian said to Jiang Sheng: "What are you doing here? Go back to the Hou Mansion, Mrs. Hou is looking for you."

The sound is clear and clear, like an ancient spring coming out of the mountains.

Mother Chu recognized it.
