Time Travel: Brothel Maid

Zuihualou.

The largest brothel in the capital.

Colorful curtains can be seen everywhere in the pavilions and corridors, and there are many beautiful women in cool and gorgeous clothes, leaning against the door, speaking in sweet voices, and hospitably entertaining guests.

This is a place where men can indulge in lust and enjoy sensual pleasures; it is also a gentle place for men to indulge in wine and sex and forget the troubles of the world.

No matter you are a prince or a scholar, no matter you want to find a confidante or just want a one-night stand.

There are all kinds of girls in Zuihualou. As long as you are willing to spend generously, you can meet all your needs. It is guaranteed to make you happy and reluctant to leave.

This is what Mother Qin is most proud of. Through her careful management, Zuihualou has become more and more famous, and countless people come from all over the world to visit it.

Over the years, she has met countless people and experienced the world. She is accustomed to all kinds of people, high-ranking officials, and all kinds of difficult and tricky matters, and can handle them easily.

However, at this moment, the man who just stepped into the room made her feel alert.

This man was dressed in gorgeous clothes, tall and mighty, with a resolute and tough face, and a bit rough and bold. He exuded a cold and solemn aura, which made people afraid.

Judging from his appearance, this person is definitely not a good person. How can someone carry a sword when he goes to a place of entertainment? Even his followers are accompanied by swords.

With such a big scene, it was obvious that the person coming here had bad intentions! It seemed that we had to be careful in dealing with him and not cause any trouble, so as not to bring unnecessary trouble to Zuihualou.

Seeing this, Mother Qin immediately smiled and came forward to greet him enthusiastically, like a flower in full bloom in spring: "Hey, sir, you look a little unfamiliar. I guess this is your first time visiting our Zuihualou. You've come at the right time! The girls here are so beautiful, charming, and each has their own characteristics. I guarantee you will be very satisfied! Just tell me what kind of girl you like, and I guarantee you will come with joy and leave with satisfaction!"

Chen Fengyao frowned slightly, looking a little impatient. He waved his hand casually, interrupting the madam's chattering rudely.

If it weren't for the fact that this old procuress still had some looks, I would have probably spoken rudely to her.

However, for someone who has been fighting on the battlefield for a long time and is accustomed to marching and fighting, even if his tone is calm during daily conversations, he cannot completely conceal the fierce aura emanating from him.

"I heard that there is a woman in your place who is good at playing the pipa. Her name is Yingniang and her skills are unparalleled. Please ask her to come out and play a song for me!" Chen Fengyao said in a loud voice.

This man is just a military man. According to common sense, when it comes to such elegant things as playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, even if he cannot be said to be completely ignorant, he is definitely an amateur.

However, he only loved the instrument Pipa. A few years ago, there was a concubine in his house who won his favor because of her good pipa playing and was favored by him for many years.

Unfortunately, later on, as the concubines in the palace competed for favor, this concubine was framed and her hands were injured. From then on, she could no longer play the strings of the zither, and she gradually fell out of favor.

Chen Fengyao was furious and severely punished the concubine who had committed the evil act, but in the end he could only sigh and lament.

Last year, Chen Fengyao, who was guarding the frontier far away, accidentally heard that Yingniang, the top courtesan in Zuihualou, the largest brothel in Shangjing City, had unparalleled pipa skills, and everyone who heard about it was intoxicated by her.

Since then, he has been fascinated and eager to hear it with his own ears.

Unfortunately, there were frequent wars on the border, and he had to stay on the battlefield and fight bloody battles before receiving the emperor's order to return to the capital.

It was not until two months ago, when the situation on the border stabilized, that he received an imperial decree to return to Beijing.

After returning to Beijing, he was busy for several days, going to the palace every day to discuss the border situation with the emperor.

After leaving the palace, there were banquets hosted by court ministers every day, and he was too busy to get away.

As soon as I had some free time, I thought of the rumors I heard last year and made some inquiries. It turned out to be true, but the courtesan in Zuihualou had been replaced by a new one.

The Yingniang who played the pipa so skillfully is no longer as popular as she once was.

It is normal that flowers do not last forever. But he did not come to see the oiran, he came to listen to the music, whether she was the oiran or not was not important.

When Mother Qin heard this, the smile on her face froze for a moment. Yingniang's situation was a little special, and she was afraid that she would become stubborn and anger the evil spirit in front of her.

It's not that she was afraid, but the situation today was not conducive to accidents, so it was better to avoid trouble that could be avoided.

"Sir, what a coincidence! Yingniang has been feeling unwell these days and cannot serve anyone. Do you want to find someone else? I will find you another one..."

The madam was interrupted by Chen Fengyao before she could finish her words. His eyes gleamed with a sharp light, as if he could see through her excuses at a glance and tear off the hypocritical mask on her face.

"Grandpa, I am not someone who can be fooled easily! As long as she is still alive, let her come out to meet guests! Just because a prostitute can play a few pieces of pipa, does that mean she is precious? She dares to put on airs when she is not feeling comfortable at all. Is she being squeamish? Or is it that you, Zuihualou, are bullying customers and don't take me seriously?"

Chen Fengyao sneered as he spoke. Could it be that because he didn't reveal his identity, even a brothel owner dared to bully him?

He already had a ferocious look on his face, and with his cruelty, he became even more frightening.

Seeing this, Mother Qin forced a smile and said flatteringly, "Hey, Master, please don't be angry! How dare I neglect you in the slightest! Please be patient and rest in the elegant room for a while. I will go and call Yingniang to serve you."

After saying that, Mother Qin's expression changed drastically. She turned to the elf slave standing aside waiting for instructions and shouted, "Da Zhuang, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and respectfully lead this distinguished guest to the elegant room!"

The elf slave named Da Zhuang immediately nodded and bowed, raised his right arm in front of him to make a please gesture, and said to Chen Fengyao respectfully: "Master, please come in."

Chen Fengyao relaxed the stern expression on his face and walked forward in the direction guided by the turtle slave.

As Chen Fengyao's back gradually walked away, the fake smile on Qin's mother's face gradually disappeared.

She twisted her still charming body, threw her handkerchief, and stepped onto the stairs in her beautifully embroidered shoes, making a very fast "thump thump" sound, cursing and complaining under her breath.

"Yingniang, you little bitch, you dare to cause trouble for me. I will skin you alive this time!"

Mother Qin stopped at the third room on the right side of the second floor and knocked on the door.

I only heard a delicate female voice coming from the room, "Please come in."

Mother Qin's unfriendly expression disappeared, she put on a smile again, and then pushed open the door.

"Yingniang, there is a guest downstairs, who specifically asked to see you. He said that he has admired you for a long time and wanted to hear you play a piece of pipa music. I think the guest has an extraordinary demeanor and is a person of high status. You should go and meet him quickly."

Yingniang kept wiping her pipa's hands, and her posture of sitting sideways facing the door did not change. She just spoke lightly.

"Mom, I don't want to offend you, but you know my situation. I don't want to meet other guests. If you force me to go, I will annoy the guests and you will be unhappy again."

"I know you're waiting for Lord Zhou to redeem you. But he hasn't redeemed you yet! Mom is not trying to throw cold water on you. I have done everything I can to help you. Whenever someone comes to see you, I always make an excuse that you are not feeling well. But today this guest insists on seeing you, so go and play a song. If Lord Zhou can't redeem you, you can always find someone else to rely on, right?"

Yingniang finally put down the pipa in her hand, turned around and faced Mother Qin. Her face was expressionless, making it hard to guess what she was thinking.

Mother Qin cursed inwardly, "You little troublemaker, a real troublemaker! If you have the guts, ask Master Zhou to redeem you early and bring you into the Zhou family in a sedan chair, so you don't have to stay here and cause trouble for her!"

Mother Qin sat beside Yingniang and advised her gently, "People like us will be held hostage every day if we don't leave this place. Doesn't Lord Zhou know? If he cared about you, he should have taken you away earlier. How could he let you stay pure for him in a place like this?"

Yingniang's face was pale, her head drooped, and she opened her mouth, her voice full of sadness, "He also had no choice, and there were many difficulties..."

Mother Qin curled her lips, patted her swollen chest with a handkerchief, and complained with an embarrassed look on her face.

"Mom, I have no choice. I am in a lot of trouble! Please have pity on me. If you don't go to meet the guests, the evil star will probably destroy my Zuihualou!"

Yingniang tightened her slender hands around the handkerchief, but still kept her head down and said nothing.

Mother Qin's lips drooped, her eyes turned, and she asked casually.

"Where has this little rascal, Xiao Guo'er, gone to be lazy again? Instead of staying here to serve the young lady, he just runs around all day."

Mother Qin's tone suddenly took a sharp turn. Unlike the gentle tone when she spoke to Yingniang, it was now filled with a sharp rebuke.

"When she comes back later, I'll take her to the punishment room and give her a good beating. I'll see if she doesn't learn her lesson!"

There is a punishment room in Zuihualou, which is specially used to punish disobedient girls or maids who have made mistakes.

Zuihualou is different from other places, and its method of punishing people is also unique. They do not use punishments that will leave obvious scars on the body to treat these women.

How can girls serve customers if they have scary injuries on their faces or bodies?

Zuihualou has its own way of torturing people, which can not only avoid leaving scars on the girls' skin, but also make their lives worse than death.

In Zuihualou, apart from the girls who were forced to become men's playthings voluntarily due to financial difficulties, some were sold there, and even worse, some were forced there because their families were convicted of crimes.
