Time Travel: Brothel Maid

Xiao Guoer didn't see the flirting between Tang Jingchen and the shopkeeper, nor did she say that she was selling pornographic pictures. After all, such facts were really hard to say out loud.

He just lied to avoid the main point, "I'm here to see if there are any good novels available recently."

Tang Jingchen didn't expose him, and followed her words and said, "What kind of storybooks does Xiao Guoer usually like to read?"

"I just watch it to kill time. I can't say I love it."

Xiao Guoer was too embarrassed to say out loud those extremely embarrassing words.

Besides, she was wearing men's clothes. If this elegant young man knew that a man actually read that kind of storybook, he would probably call her a pervert.

"We met twice in one day. I think we are destined to meet. Why don't we find a place to sit down and chat?"

"No, I have something else to do. Let's do it another day."

After a few more casual greetings, Xiao Guoer said goodbye and left the bookstore without noticing the loneliness in Tang Jingchen's eyes.

Tang Jingchen stared at Xiao Guoer's slender figure as she walked away, slightly distracted.

The shopkeeper saw the boy leave before coming out from the inner room to greet the young master.

But I saw that the young master looked absent-minded, and I was secretly wondering, what happened to the young master?

"Master? Master?"

The shopkeeper called out twice before Tang Jingchen came back to his senses.

"Oh, what's wrong?"

"Master, are you here to check the accounts today? I have prepared them yesterday. Please come with me."

"No hurry. The man who just left came here to sell paintings? Bring them to me."

The shopkeeper was surprised that the young master knew that the boy was here to sell paintings. He was even more surprised that the young master, who had never managed the bookstore to buy or sell any books or paintings, was concerned about such a trivial matter today.

Although it was an accident, he did not stop his actions. He took out the erotic picture album that he had just bought at a high price and handed it to the young master.

"Young Master, you don't know that pornographic paintings have never been drawn like this before. It's really amazing. I never thought that boy was a genius. In the past, he just sold some of his storybooks, and the profit was also good. But I guess those storybooks can't compare to the profit of this pornographic painting."

Tang Jingchen looked up in surprise, "She also wrote a storybook? Bring it to me and have a look."

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment. What happened to the young master? Instead of looking at the account book, he was looking at these storybooks and pornographic pictures?

He suppressed his doubts and replied, "Master, wait a moment."

Tang Jingchen opened the erotic picture in his hand and was amazed the next moment. What the shopkeeper said was true. This erotic picture was really... different from others.

But how could a girl like her draw such pornographic pictures and sell them?

What kind of family can raise a girl like this?

It's a bit too shocking!

No wonder she walks around in men's clothing. If people knew that she was a girl, wouldn't people be surprised and surprised?

After a while, the shopkeeper came back with a few storybooks.

"The notebooks that boy wrote are all here."

Tang Jingchen took it and flipped through it briefly. "The Evil Prince and the Pretty Nun", "The Fiancé Regrets After Breaking Off the Engagement", "The Legend of the Peerless Princess"...

What kind of messed up book titles are these!

Ignoring the shopkeeper who was waiting on the side, Tang Jingchen picked up a book and read it carefully with unprecedented curiosity.

As his fingers turned the pages, his brows suddenly frowned, then relaxed, and the expression on his face suddenly became solemn, then smiled.

After a while, Tang Jingchen closed the notebook after reading more than ten pages.

Oh, you can actually write like this!

It really opened my eyes.

This girl Xiao Guo'er, since the first time I met her, she was trying to be clever for a few candied snacks. Today, I saw her competing with the shopkeeper in wits and courage in order to sell more money from the erotic pictures.

I also wrote so many storybooks to make money.

Is she... short of money?

"After you make a copy of this erotic painting, please leave the original copy to me."

"Yes, Master."

Although the shopkeeper didn't know what the young master meant by doing this, he nodded in agreement.

"Please take out the account book. We can't afford to delay the important work."

The shopkeeper was finally relieved that the young master did not indulge in material things and become obsessed with any messy things.

He swiftly took out the account book and handed it to the young master.

-

Xiao Guoer walked on the street with the banknotes in her arms, feeling at ease and satisfied.

No matter what era, making money can give her a sense of security.

Xiao Guoer calculated in her mind that with today's income and the eight hundred taels stolen from General Chen, her savings already amounted to more than one thousand seven hundred taels of silver.

According to Yingniang, Zhou Fangye had about 2,500 taels in his hand, and he got another 1,000 taels from his mother, which was enough to redeem Yingniang.

Fortunately, Yingniang is no longer a courtesan, so five thousand taels can redeem her. If she were a courtesan, the redemption money would have to be doubled.

This is also the reason why Yingniang pretended to be sick and did not compete for the title of the most beautiful woman.

If you don't consider redeeming yourself, the title of courtesan can indeed bring many benefits in Zuihualou.

But if she wants to redeem herself, even if she is an oiran, it is natural for Zuihualou to ask for more money for redemption.

But she was just a maid with a disfigured face, so the redemption fee was naturally only one tenth of Yingniang's. Only five hundred taels was needed to redeem her.

If she hadn't considered that Yingniang was alone and helpless in Zuihualou, she would have redeemed herself and fled far away long ago. Why would she have to endure the old brothel owner's anger until now?

Now the money for Yingniang's redemption is enough, but she is still short of the other five hundred taels.

Although Yingniang still had two or three hundred taels of silver in her hand, after they redeemed themselves, they still had to carry some money with them.

Only with money can you feel safe.

Even if he redeemed himself and could follow Yingniang into the Zhou family, he would be unable to take a single step if he was penniless.

What's more, Yingniang must have had a hard time surviving in a noble family as a prostitute.

Alas, Yingniang is a little woman. She feels satisfied with having love affairs with Zhou Fangye all day long. She would rather be a concubine and marry Zhou Fangye.

Although she disagreed, she could not change the deep-rooted thoughts of an ancient woman.

According to her idea, when they earn enough money to redeem themselves, they can buy or rent a small house and live their own lives. Wouldn't that be free and happy!

Forget it. It’s useless to think too much. We can only move forward step by step.

The most urgent thing is to find a way to make a few hundred more taels. Of course, the more money you make, the better.

Draw erotic pictures again? But she felt that she had run out of ideas in this area.

All the knowledge about gender that we have learned from the short videos on the modern Internet has been drawn.

Are you still writing storybooks? The money you make is a little slow.

Xiao Guoer walked slowly, frowning and thinking hard.

Oh, it would be great if there was some windfall.

Xiao Guoer paused, her eyes suddenly widened, and a smile suddenly appeared on her face.

Yes, why didn’t she think of it before!

She can open a "welfare lottery shop" in this era!

No matter what era or where, there will always be people who take shortcuts and dream of getting rich overnight.

Think about it in modern times, with bonuses of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, you can imagine how huge the profits are!

The more Xiao Guoer thought about it, the more excited he became. He wished he could open a "welfare lottery shop" right now and become a wealthy businessman of this era, reach the peak of his life, and enjoy a free life.

However, if you want to succeed in one fell swoop, you cannot fight an unprepared battle. You still need to think carefully about how to implement the operation specifically.

Xiao Guo'er was as excited as a chicken. She happily bought a bunch of sundries from the stall and went back to Zuihualou.

Yingniang watched as Xiaoguoer came back from outside with a bunch of sundries and started busying herself without even raising her head.

After watching curiously for a while, he couldn't tell what Xiao Guoer was doing, so he couldn't help asking, "What are you busy with?"

Xiao Guoer wiped the sweat off his face, raised his head and put on an unfathomable smile.

"Sister, it won't be long before I can make a lot of money, and we can be truly free."

Yingniang knew that she must have thought of some way to make money, so she said with a smile, "You don't have to work so hard. Once we enter the Zhou family, we won't have to worry about money anymore."

Xiao Guoer lowered her eyes, then lowered her head again to continue what she was doing.

"Sister, although most women rely on men to live, it is better to control your own destiny than to look at other people's faces. If one day Mr. Zhou falls in love with someone else, wouldn't our lives be miserable?"
