Time Travel: Brothel Maid

Fu Yaoning glanced coldly at her brother. Although she knew that her brother had always been like this and always acted foolishly, she didn't expect him to become even more outrageous. She thought that he must have made some shady friends recently, which made him so ignorant of right and wrong!

She is still as beautiful as a flower, and she looks delicate and pretty when she gets angry, her voice is crisp with a hint of anger.

"Brother! What are you talking about! Since ancient times, marriage has been decided by parents and matchmakers. How can we mess around with this? Besides, the person my parents like must be good. I just need to listen to them."

Fu Qi'an quickly advised, "Of course, our parents' choice is not bad, but you are the one who will get married. My sister is still young and doesn't understand the relationship between men and women. It's hard to say about this relationship. If the two of you have different temperaments or don't like each other, even if the family has power and wealth and has everything they need, life will be boring. But if the two of you have a mutual understanding and love each other, life will be as sweet as honey, not to mention how beautiful it is."

Fu Yaoning was, after all, a little girl who had been raised in seclusion. After hearing what her brother said, she couldn't help but feel a little shaken.

Seeing his sister's hesitant expression, Fu Qi'an struck while the iron was hot, "Silly sister, can your brother still harm you? Isn't your aunt a living example? Although your uncle is good in every way, he and your aunt are just not in harmony. You don't want to live a life like your aunt in the future, do you?"

Fu Yaoning's already unsteady mind became even more precarious at this moment. She looked at her brother hesitantly, "Then according to your opinion, what should I do?"

Fu Qi'an said sincerely, "Brother has some good young men from noble families. You can take a look at them first. If there is one that suits your taste, I will try to bring you together. Then you can ask parents for help. Parents will love you, and this marriage will be successful."

Fu Yaoning looked at her brother suspiciously. She knew her brother's character very well. He was a frequent visitor to brothels, and his friends were probably of the same kind.

She doesn't want to marry a playboy like her brother!

"Your friend?"

"What's that look in your eyes? Can I find someone bad to marry you? Don't worry, I will definitely find someone with high moral character!"

Fu Qian'an felt a little unhappy. Is he that bad?

Then he thought that Zhou Fangye was indeed more decent than him, and he only looked for Yingniang when he went to the brothel. It seemed that he was indeed more loyal than him?

Tsk, when he finds the woman he really likes, she might be even more loyal than him!

However, Fu Yaoning still felt that something was wrong. How could a girl choose her husband on her own?

However, when a young girl is in love, she always dreams about love between men and women. She also fantasizes that her future husband is a young and talented man who is young, promising, handsome, and loyal to her.

So Fu Yaoning was a little worried and a little excited. Why not just follow her brother's advice and take a look first? She might not necessarily like the one he likes, right?

If she doesn't have it, then let mother decide. If she really has outstanding looks, talent, and character, then she can go and ask mother. I think mother loves her the most and will definitely agree to her request.

Since the lottery shop officially opened, business has been booming, and Xiao Guoer and Tang Xi have been busy all day long.

Time passes quickly in this extreme busyness, happiness and satisfaction.

Before we knew it, we had entered the lively month of May.

On this day, the Dragon Boat Festival, the sky was clear and the air was crisp.

It was a prosperous time in the Li Dynasty, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. The emperor loved the people like his own children and wanted to share the joys with them, so he invited several princes and kings to the Qingshui River in Shangjing City to watch the dragon boat race with the people.

Dozens of long boats had already been parked on the bank of the Qingshui River. The boats were painted in bright colors such as red, silver, and blue, and were eye-catching.

The boat was already full of sturdy and agile rowers. Under the sun, the exposed arm muscles glowed with bronze, and they looked strong and powerful.

There was a long row of awnings on the shore, crowded with men, women, old and young who had come from the capital to watch the excitement, their colorful clothes fluttering and their fans flying.

It was noisy and lively.

There was a place in the crowded shed where only a few people were sitting, which made it feel a little cooler than other places.

In the pavilion, Chen Fengyao bowed to the person in front of him and said, "Eighth Prince."

Zhao Yunrong raised his hand and said, "General Chen, please don't be polite."

"It has been a while since General Chen returned to the capital to report on his work. Has he adapted to life in the capital?"

Chen Fengyao replied respectfully, "Thank you for your concern, Eighth Prince. I am a humble man, and I can adapt to the bitter cold land of the northwest, let alone this rich Shangjing City."

Zhao Yunrong smiled slightly, "General Chen is a pillar of the country, the right-hand man of the emperor, and has been stationed at the border for many years, serving the country. It is really hard. This time, why don't you stay in Shangjing City for a few more days and experience the customs and people of Shangjing City."

Chen Fengyao declined, "I am a crude person, accustomed to the gravel of the northwest. I have been away for a long time, but I miss it very much."

Zhao Yunrong was not surprised by the attitude of keeping people at a distance. "The Northwest is vast and it is a good place to be free."

The two of them lowered their heads and smiled, each hiding the complicated thoughts in their hearts.

The quiet atmosphere was suddenly broken by a loud noise coming from a distant shed, causing everyone in the shed to look in that direction one by one.

I saw a sea of ​​people gathered together, and I didn't know what they were doing.

Zhao Yunrong frowned slightly and looked at Shen Jing who was standing behind him with puzzled eyes.

Shen Jing understood and whispered in the prince's ear.

After hearing this, Zhao Yunrong was speechless. "They are truly businessmen obsessed with money. They are trying every possible way to make money even from such an elegant event as dragon boat racing."

As he said this, he looked at the person next to him, only to see Chen Fengyao staring fixedly at the crowd gathered together, with a dazed look on his face.

Zhao Yunrong was puzzled and looked at the crowd carefully again. He could vaguely see a boy with a scar on his face among the people in the crowd. Before he could frown and wonder why it was this person again, he saw a beautiful woman standing next to the boy.

She was Yingniang, the former courtesan of Zuihualou.

Zhao Yunrong's heart moved, he withdrew his gaze, and looked at Chen Fengyao beside him, only to see that he was still in a daze, staring in Yingniang's direction in silence.

Could it be that Fu Qian'an was really right?

Is it true that Chen Fengyao is still obsessed with Yingniang?

A moment later, a man in a hurry came quietly from a distance and whispered in Shen Jing's ear.

Shen Jing was shocked when he heard this, and quickly walked to Zhao Yunrong and whispered the important news to him.

Zhao Yunrong hid the strange look in his eyes and smiled at Chen Fengyao, "General Chen, please enjoy your trip. I have some personal matters to take care of. Please excuse me."

"Your Majesty, do as you please."

Zhao Yunrong turned and walked away. The smile on his face disappeared instantly. His dark pupils were deep and unfathomable. He said to Shen Jing who was following him calmly, "Find a remote place with no one around and bring that person here."

Shen Jing accepted the order.

Inside the pergola, Xiao Guoer and Tang Xi were busy and sweating, but they were very happy. They collected money and greeted customers.

Xiao Guoer shouted to the crowd, "Bet on whichever dragon boat you like. If the boat you bet on wins, we will give you five times the odds. This opportunity only comes once a year, so hurry up and place your bet. Don't hesitate, don't linger, because hesitating and lingering is a waste of time."
