Cypress Boat Floating

Ever since Jiang Wanyin appeared in Chun Man Lou, it has been really lively.

No matter whether they were rich or poor, or what their social status was, as soon as night fell, almost all men in the capital would go to Chunmanlou to watch Jiang Wanyin. Although it was only one dance, people were willing to pay for her smile.

Ye Jianqing, dressed in men's clothing, sat in a private room on the second floor. Looking at the crazy men below, he couldn't help but sneer.

Men have loved beauty since ancient times, and Jiang Wanyin just grasped this mentality of men. She started hunger marketing as soon as she appeared on the stage. She first let everyone appreciate her dancing for free to whet everyone's appetite, and then announced that there would be only one show a day and the dance content would be updated frequently.

Those people spent money like crazy just to watch Jiang Wanyin dance. What's the difference between this and those people chasing stars in modern times?

Ye Jianqing has been here for five days. She came here every day, from morning to night, and ordered a pot of tea and a pot of cakes. Every time she came, she asked for Jiang Wanyin by name, but he refused to see her. However, this did not affect her at all. Anyway, she had nothing to do every day, so she just came to stare at Jiang Wanyin every day to see who this guy was.

Besides, it wasn't her own money that was being spent, but Lu Ci Qiu's money, so she didn't care at all.

The capital city is very safe now. Lu Ci Qiu follows his brother every day, fearing that his brother might be abducted by Jiang Wanyin at any time. He dares not leave for a moment. Although he is watching his brother, Lu Ci Qiu's safety is also guaranteed when he is next to Lu Zhixing. If anyone dares to hurt his brother under Lu Zhixing's nose, that would be truly courting his life.

"Young lady." Auntie Chun, the madam of Chun Man Lou, who was over 40 years old, swayed to Ye Jianqing's side and asked with a bitter face, "Young lady, how long are you going to stay here?"

Ye Jianqing's eyes stayed on Jiang Wanyin on the stage downstairs. "I came here just to be friends with Miss Jiang. My mother won't let me see her, so why won't you let me spend money here?"

Aunt Chun had a terrible headache. Although Ye Jianqing was dressed in men's clothes, anyone with good eyesight could tell that she was a woman. In addition, she did not try to conceal her identity. As a frequent visitor to red-light districts, she naturally recognized that Ye Jianqing was a woman when she came in. She wanted to stop her from entering, but she didn't expect that she would sneak in when no one was paying attention.

By the time she reacted, the man had already sat down in the private room and ordered a bunch of cakes. If she was chased away at this time, it would only give people a bad impression. Fortunately, she was just sitting there quietly watching people dancing. Nothing happened, and few people noticed her, so they just let her go.

But this woman wanted to see Jiang Wanyin every day. She bought Jiang Wanyin at a huge price so that she could keep her mystery and make more money. She had made a lot of money during this period, but it was not enough. If this person saw Jiang Wanyin and spread rumors, who would come to see Jiang Wanyin?

"Hey, young lady, what you said is right. If you want to see Miss Jiang, you see her every night. How dare I stop you?" She also knew Ye Jianqing's identity. The person who could open Chunmanlou into the number one brothel in the capital must have some means. Although the people behind Ye Jianqing did not have such great power, they had a backer. In order not to offend the backer, Aunt Chun had to smile and talk in circles, trying to get Ye Jianqing to leave honestly.

"Let's do this." After the dance was over, Jiang Wanyin also left the stage. There was nothing to see on the stage anymore. Ye Jianqing turned his head to look at her, his face full of unsatisfied feelings, as if he was really attracted to Jiang Wanyin. Aunt Chun was also constantly wondering if this man wanted to see Jiang Wanyin because he really admired her.

"Let Miss Jiang talk to me three words through the screen, and the silver will be yours." Ye Jianqing took out the largest silver ingot from her purse with a distressed look. In fact, she also had gold in it, but she was reluctant to part with it. She had many ways to see Jiang Wanyin, but she just felt that it was not polite.

Chun Man Lou is the largest brothel in the capital, and it attracts distinguished guests, and occasionally some royal relatives and nobles come. It's just a silver ingot, and Aunt Chun really doesn't care. She just gently pushes Ye Jianqing's hand back: "Miss, it's not about money, it's mainly about this Miss Jiang..."

"Mom, there's no need to say more. I'll just sit here, drink tea, and look at the beauties. There's nothing wrong with that, right? I've spent money anyway, so you won't lose out." Ye Jianqing smiled. As the saying goes, you shouldn't hit a smiling person. With her smiling face, no matter how dissatisfied Aunt Chun was, she couldn't chase her away.

"Young lady, you are being shameless." Aunt Chun became angry when she saw her like this. She was used to greeting people with a smile on her face on weekdays, but that didn't mean she didn't have a temper. Did this little girl really think that she could bully her way because she was the Eighth Prince's person?

"Mom, don't be angry. Look at you. It's not right for me to spend money here, right?" Before coming, Lu Ci Qiu had told Ye Jianqing to be careful. Chun Manlou is involved in a lot of things. Many people in the court like to come here. The madam has a rich network of contacts, so she must not offend anyone.

"What do you want, young lady?" Aunt Chun couldn't even laugh now.

"I didn't have any idea. I just wanted to meet Miss Jiang. But since mother didn't agree, I have no choice but to leave first. But mother probably knows who sent me after all these days. Well, it will be difficult to explain if I leave like this when I go back." Ye Jianqing looked embarrassed and sighed. He said let's go, but his feet did not move.

Although she lowered her head and kicked her feet, she did not miss the embarrassment on the old procuress's face when she said someone sent her. It seemed that this trick was effective.

Although she did not disclose her identity publicly, she did not conceal it either. If the madam wanted to find out, she would be able to find out. She must be thinking about whether she should agree to her request.

"You can meet me once, but I can let you say three words and give you a gold ingot. You are not allowed to bother me again in the future." Aunt Chun was straightforward and said the agreement with gritted teeth. Although Ye Jianqing was happy in his heart and felt that he finally had the opportunity to meet Jiang Wanyin, he still had to show it on his face.

"Isn't it too little to say only three sentences with this ingot of gold?"

Aunt Chun clenched her back teeth and raised her palm: "Five sentences."

"Okay then, let's make a deal." Ye Jianqing agreed immediately and took out a gold ingot from her purse. This budget was within her expectations and it was not a loss. Moreover, she believed that after she met Jiang Wanyin, Jiang Wanyin would definitely meet her next time she came.

"Hold on."

Aunt Chun took the money and left angrily, and went to arrange for Ye Jianqing to meet with Jiang Wanyin. Ye Jianqing, on the other hand, sat happily in the private room eating and drinking. After meeting Jiang Wanyin today, her mission would be mostly completed, and she would not have to come here to spend money anymore.

She came here every day these days, doing nothing and spending a lot of money. Although the money was not hers, she felt bad. And the brothel always allowed her to see a lot of things that were not suitable for her age. She felt that her eyes were dirty.

Aunt Chun didn't know how she persuaded Jiang Wanyin to come to Ye Jianqing's private room in person. Since she didn't want to see Ye Jianqing, the unlucky guy, she naturally didn't come. She asked other people to bring Jiang Wanyin with her, and also to act as a surveillance camera.

Jiang Wanyin off stage is completely different from her on stage.

She was charming and seductive on the stage, exuding an alluring aura from head to toe. Even her every breath could be seen as pink. Her every move was like holding a person's heart in her hand, beating to her rhythm.

Off the stage, she removed her heavy makeup and changed her dance costume. Without the veil on her face, her beauty could be seen more clearly. Her beauty was very aggressive, with big eyes, a straight nose, small lips, and an exotic figure.

If her face is extremely aggressive, then her voice is completely inconsistent with her face. Her voice is sweet, sticky, and coquettish, like a child, but this is her normal speaking tone, without any specialness. It makes people feel comfortable listening to it, and want to protect her.

"I don't know why the young lady is so persistent in wanting to see me." Jiang Wanyin spoke the first sentence. As long as Ye Jianqing didn't speak, the other five sentences would continue.

Jiang Wanyin stood opposite Ye Jianqing, with no expression on her face, but her big eyes were full of hostility when she looked at him.

Ye Jianqing laughed out loud, which made her even more dissatisfied.

"I thought about it and decided to exchange secret codes with you first, so that you can know where I come from."

Ye Jianqing's words left Jiang Wanyin confused. He frowned and looked at her in confusion.

"I don't know whether you are from the north or the south, so I'll just tell you two things. One is the Imperial Jade Liquor, and the other is that odd things change but even things remain the same." After Ye Jianqing finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Wanyin with a smile, and sure enough, he saw an expression of surprise on Jiang Wanyin's face.

She broke defense.

Jiang Wanyin opened his lips slightly, pointed at Ye Jianqing and couldn't utter a word for a long time. All the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat and couldn't come out for a long time.

A tear fell from the corner of her eye, and Jiang Wanyin's coldness disappeared. She staggered towards Ye Jianqing. When she got closer, her legs went limp as if the strength was suddenly taken away, and she almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Ye Jianqing supported her in time.

"You...who are you?" Jiang Wanyin asked her with a sob.

"You have to give me the secret code first. I spent a gold bar to buy these five sentences. You can't let me lose." Ye Jianqing smiled and patted her back to comfort her.

"Palace Jade Liquor, one hundred and eighty per cup, odd numbers change but even numbers remain the same, the sign depends on the quadrant." Jiang Wanyin swallowed, forced himself to calm down, and then gave the secret code that Ye Jianqing wanted.

"My dearest ones!!!" After seeing Ye Jianqing nod her head with a smile to confirm, Jiang Wanyin threw herself into her arms, hugged her and started crying, making the people around him look at a loss, and they quickly asked someone to call Aunt Chun over.
