Qinlan Tower
As the capital of an empire with a population of one million,
Brothels and brothels were countless.
There were ten most famous Brothels in the Capital, collectively known as the Ten Towers of Jinghua.
The lights remained on after dusk, and every day high-ranking officials, nobles, and scions of the Aristocratic Clan rode up to the scene.
The main road was blocked by carriages and horses, and the music of stringed instruments never stopped, day and night.
High-ranking officials and dignitaries hold banquets and social gatherings here, while young masters and noblemen indulge in revelry and drunkenness. The beautiful women inside are skilled in poetry and dance, and one must spend a fortune to even see one.
As the saying goes, "Young men from the Five Mausoleums vied to shower her with gifts, and countless bolts of red silk were given for a single song."
Each of the Ten Towers of Jinghua has a top courtesan.
They were also known as the Ten Beauties of Jinghua.
Qinlan Tower is one of them.
These were all introduced by Zhang Qingyan. When he spoke, he was beaming with excitement and spoke fluently, truly befitting the White Dragon in the Waves of the Waves who had spent years indulging in pleasure.
Gao Yunyi listened from the side.
I feel like I've gained a lot more useless knowledge.
Unfortunately,
They came at the wrong time.
It's only just past noon, and Qinlan Tower is practically empty.
It wasn't the idyllic scene of singing, dancing, and beautiful women that Zhang Qingyan described.
"Brother Gao, please don't be in such a hurry. Although brothels are most lively at night, the real connoisseurs come early in the morning. It's like buying fish; fish are freshest in the morning, and by evening, they've all gone bad."
Perhaps sensing the disappointment of the Immortal beside him, Zhang Qingyan quickly offered an explanation.
Gao Yunyi: "..."
When the hell did I say I was in a hurry?
I came here to appreciate the ancient charm, not to actually solicit prostitutes.
Besides,
What this guy said actually makes some sense.
All right.
Another amount of useless knowledge has been added.
The Xiaobai is just the Xiaobai, always roaming the waves.
Gao Yunyi quite impressed with him.
"Where are you all? Can't you see I'm here? Hurry up and come out to greet this guest!"
As Zhang Qingyan entered Qinlan Tower, he acted as if he were back home, shouting loudly at the empty lobby.
"They're here, they're here."
A response came from upstairs, and then a still-attractive woman walked out, waving a round fan and swaying her graceful waist.
"Oh, it's Young Master Zhang! You haven't come for several days. I thought you'd forgotten about me."
Upon seeing that the visitor was Zhang Qingyan, the beautiful woman's eyes immediately lit up, and her sickeningly sweet voice made the man's body go weak.
"Red Mama, even if I forget my parents, I will never forget you. It's just that my dad has been confining me to the house these past few days, and it's almost driving me crazy."
Zhang Qingyan poured out her grievances as if she were seeing a family member.
"Alas... So Young Master Zhang is in the same boat. Ever since the Immortal came to the Capital, business at my Qinlan Tower has plummeted. All those young masters and nobles have been locked up at home. If this continues, I'm afraid we'll have to close down."
As her face was full of worry, Red Mama went downstairs, waving her fan and sighing.
But these words nearly scared Zhang Qingyan out of his wits.
My dear Red Mama.
Some things you shouldn't say carelessly; be careful what you say!
Those who don't know the situation might think you're blaming the Immortals.
And,
The Immortals are right here.
Zhang Qingyan glanced cautiously at the Immortal, and only breathed a slight sigh of relief after finding no displeasure on the Immortal's face.
Fortunately, the Immortal wasn't petty.
Otherwise, after today, Qinlan Tower will probably disappear from the Capital.
But why do I still feel a chill down my back?
Zhang Qingyan turned her head and looked.
Holy crap!!
Why did that chief eunuch also come in?
She was staring at him with that look of utter disbelief.
Nima,
I didn't say that, why are you looking at me like that?
Perhaps seeing the panicked expression on the face of the usually fearless Young Master Zhang, Red Mama covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Look how scared you are! I'm just saying this here; the Immortals won't hear me. Do you think Immortals, who don't partake in worldly affairs, would come to my Qinlan Tower to seek pleasure? Hehehe..."
Eldest sister,
Please stop talking.
You're risking your life, but I do.
Feeling threatened, Zhang Qingyan was so frightened that he almost physically covered Red Mama's mouth.
"Hmm... this young master looks unfamiliar. Is this your first time visiting Qinlan Tower?"
However, before Zhang Qingyan could even make a move...
Red Mama then shifted her attention to Gao Yunyi.
Simply because the other party is so special.
Although a silver mask concealed her true face, the aura she exuded was still as striking as a firefly in the night.
"This is my first time here."
Gao Yunyi replied with a smile.
Red Mama is over thirty years old and has spent half her life in the world of entertainment, so she has a keen eye and has seen it all.
But he couldn't see through this unfamiliar young man in front of him.
The other party is like a fog.
Mysterious and unpredictable.
The more you try to see clearly, the more you get caught up in it.
Then he could never get out again.
"Mommy... Mommy... Red Mama..."
Seeing Red Mama standing motionless in front of the Immortal, Zhang Qingyan shouted loudly, her face filled with anxiety and tension.
This person is Immortal!
How dare you look directly at a goddess's face? Do you have a death wish?
Zhang Qingyan suddenly regretted her decision today, feeling as if she were teetering on a tightrope, and that the slightest misstep would result in her being reduced to ashes.
"Ah???"
Fortunately, Zhang Qingyan's voice pulled Red Mama back from her daze.
"What's wrong with me? Why is my heart beating so fast?"
Red Mama came to her senses.
Then his face showed embarrassment and shame.
It felt like I had suddenly returned to my innocent and naive teenage years, and then met the Perfect lover I would entrust my life to at first sight.
This feeling,
Strange and shameful.
Even though I've calmed down now, my legs are still weak and I can't stand up.
"Red Mama, why are you crossing your legs like that?"
Zhang Qingyan asked with a curious expression.
"I... I still have some things to do. Please have a seat, I'll be right back."
After stammering out his sentence,
Red Mama turned and left like a gust of wind.
"Wangcai, first take Young Master Zhang and the others to the Warm Fragrance Pavilion. Serve them with fine wine and food, then have the girls come out to greet the guests."
"Okay."
"What's wrong with Red Mama? She's acting all flustered, which is different from usual."
Zhang Qingyan scratched his head, looking puzzled.
"Brother Gao, did you smell something strange just now?"
"No."
Gao Yunyi replied calmly.
"Could it be that my nose is malfunctioning? Never mind, I'd better eat something first, I'm starving."
Zhang Qingyan quickly put this trivial matter out of her mind and then respectfully led Gao Yunyi up to the third floor.
