Quick Transmigration: Leisure

Feihua Pavilion, a room.

"Sister, aren't you afraid?" After drinking two cups of tea to calm her nerves, Zhou Yin was still not recovered from Pan Lan's words, which were half intimidation and half coaxing.

From her perspective, her sister's calmness stemmed not only from habit but also from a lack of understanding of the underlying meaning.

Xia Youmi didn't speak, but looked out the window. The courtyard was shaped like the Chinese character "回" (hui). All the prostitutes whose whereabouts needed to be controlled lived at the inner end, with their windows wide open. Outside were the same windows, and below was the enclosed courtyard.

To see the scenery, you have to stick your head out and strain your neck to look up, only then can you catch a glimpse of a small patch of sky.

but,

This doesn't mean they were criticized by their mothers.

Actually, this is a nice quiet place amidst the hustle and bustle.

The other accommodations were either blocked off from the street or had a lobby open to Feihua Pavilion, which was noisy and always had some clueless people who would come and disturb the pimp when he wasn't looking.

She thought she could fool a few unsuspecting sisters.

But it often turned into a joke, as the place was inhabited by burly, rough-looking men who did odd jobs.

As for the private rooms for receiving guests, they are located in a separate building facing outwards, on the other side of the lobby.

The sisters can walk through a long, enclosed corridor from their bedrooms, with guards at both ends, and two groups take turns each day.

Despite its unremarkable appearance, Feihua Pavilion is remarkably well-organized in every aspect and with the corresponding staff.

Come to think of it,

In the original text, Miya was forced to do this because she had no other choice.

otherwise,

According to her mother's plan and upbringing, even with an element of exploitation, she really has the potential to become the next madam.

Enjoy a few years of success and wealth while you're young, accumulating money and connections, and then smoothly transition to a more comfortable lifestyle once your mother retires.

Compared to prostitutes who are at the mercy of others.

Even if a madam is looked down upon, as long as she doesn't have an insatiable appetite, she can still rule this area.

Therefore,

Xia Youmi shifted her gaze to Zhou Yin. As she had said before, once the storyline of the male and female protagonists was involved, all background or original purpose had to serve the two of them first, and then seek survival from the variables.

No one's plan is guaranteed to succeed.

"Sister!" Seeing Xia Youmi in a daze, Zhou Yin's tense mood inexplicably eased. She sighed and said, "Actually, I don't believe what Mother said either. No matter what, we can still stay here."

Panlan frightened them, saying that the brothel wars were terrifying, and that if they lost, all the women in the brothel would be sold to the enemy country through special channels and imprisoned as prisoners.

Those who are good-looking can be kept, while those who are not chosen are beheaded.

always,

Those in power do not hesitate to publicize the hellish scenes in enemy countries.

Even if such a channel didn't exist, it wouldn't necessarily be such a waste of manpower.

It was obviously meant to scare the two sisters.

Either learn the succession procedures diligently, or give up.

If you suggest giving up, you'll be easily manipulated.

"younger sister."

"Don't worry, just follow along and learn," Xia Youmi said frankly. "After all, the opportunity has been presented to us."

"Indeed." Zhou Yin breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm relieved to see that you understand, sister. Also, do you remember the official we met today?"

"No."

"If he sees his sister, who knows what trouble will ensue?" Zhou Yin worried that she would be targeted after Qin Fang examined her.

Xia Youmi remained slightly silent. Dressed in a black official robe and carrying a cane, he was just one of the "Ten Generals," a minor leader among the yamen runners.

However, he was a "clerk" but not an official, and was not among the nine ranks.

At this age, one's background is likely not good. Unless one is blessed with extraordinary luck, the highest one can achieve in this life is a captain, who will be granted the lowest rank of ninth-grade martial arts after the assessment.

Unlike the male protagonist, who starts as an eighth-rank official with real power and is in charge of the security of the entire right wing area under the imperial city.

That's half of Bianjing City, which happens to be where Feihua Pavilion is located.

Judging from Pan Lan's expression this morning, Qin Fang might not be a member of the Right Army Patrol Academy, or perhaps he belongs to the faction that cannot be bribed.

The only one who was difficult to sway was the newly appointed Right Army Inspector Wen Ziji.

So,

That group of people could still appear in clusters.

Xia Youmi secretly paid more attention to Qin Fang, and decided that he should also be given the important task of observation every year.

But when he replied to Zhouyin, he remained indifferent.

"Sister, why don't we send someone to find out?"

"No need."

"Why? This is also a test from Mother, to make us familiar with the officials we encounter." Zhou Yin was not acting rashly, but was methodically preparing to start the succession plan that Pan Lan had instructed her to undertake.

Xia Youmi looked up and saw that Zhou Yin had been deliberately arranged to be exposed to sunlight since childhood.

Naturally, she is also more outgoing.

In the original text, the two women were both guided by the steward of the pavilion to familiarize themselves with the business. However, it is clear that Zhouyin's approach and habit were to first contact the outside world, whether it was purchasing or making arrangements. Her younger sister, Miya, on the other hand, dutifully explored the inner workings, listening to her sisters share their experiences, familiarizing herself with the established paths and unspoken habits, and also learning how to allocate manpower when facing conflicts.

This hit Panlan's true thoughts.

How could she possibly abdicate so soon?

Say less

They also had to exploit the sisters for more than ten years first.

She also firmly grasped all the means to deal with external affairs. If she were to easily pass them on, her united sisters might rebel before she could even retire.

Perhaps, even if she retires, she won't reveal all her true abilities for the sake of her position.

Like an emperor emeritus standing above one's head, he would never allow himself to be controlled by his own son.

then,

From the moment she started, Panlan began to subtly sow discord between the sisters.

She couldn't go too far and affect the subsequent listing and selling points, while also leading people by the nose, keeping the profits in sight, and making the sisters realize the favoritism later, so that they would each compete for favor.

Xia Youmi didn't refute Zhou Yin, after all, the other party would leave sooner or later, and if he truly realized the value of life, wouldn't the male lead have to go to Feihua Pavilion?

"Sister, there's still plenty of time. Let's see what the stewards have to say."

“That’s true.” Zhou Yin wasn’t one to delve into the truth; she usually only needed Xia Youmi to give a reply before ending the conversation.

At this time,

Someone outside the door reminded them that it was lunchtime. From now on, they would have maids to help them fetch their meals, so they wouldn't have to go out themselves anymore.

Xinrong and Xinhe readily agreed and followed them downstairs. Once the door was closed, only the two sisters remained.

"Sister, are you doing alright with your money?" Zhou Yin brought up another topic, her voice calm.

"It's okay."

"Sister, you're just being nosy. This will be very useful in the future, so don't let the maid squander it." Zhou Yin leaned closer, displaying the intimacy of sisters, and talked about how Xin Rong had decided to buy breakfast for Xia Youmi that morning.

"curious."

Xia Youmi simply explained, "I'm not going against anyone."

If you think about it carefully, this is only the second time they've officially gone out today, so it's not surprising that they're craving some outside food.

Xinrong, who had suddenly returned from outside the door, was in tears.

Her sister is protecting her.
