Chen Yao took out the copper wire with a verdigris stain and indistinguishable pattern. He couldn't see what was wrong with it, but he still stuffed it into the gourd.

 "Thank you very much."

 "Why are you so polite, fairy?"

 "It's just false politeness." Yun Jiang complained.

 Jiu Luo didn't say anything else.

 After entering the den of brothel, everyone was surprised that there was no feeling of feasting and revelry here.

 Everything is very ordinary, like a normal family living a simple and peaceful life, prosperous and warm.

 At this time, a middle-aged woman in ordinary clothes came out. Although she was in her prime, she looked clean and exquisite.

 "Dear guests, would you like to stay in the hotel?"

 She glanced around with her beautiful eyes, passing by several women and fixing her gaze on Chen Yao's face.

 I haven't seen anyone bringing their whole family out to whorehouses these days...

 Chen Yao was also a little uncomfortable under her curious and passionate gaze, so he said, "Open a separate courtyard for us."

 "Okay. How many ladies do you want?"

 "Madam?" Chen Yao thought about it and realized that he was asking how many prostitutes he wanted.

 "Our brothel has always upheld the principle of making guests feel at home. Our girls are all virtuous and capable, both in bed and in the kitchen..."

 Bai Piao snorted, "I've never heard of a whore claiming to be virtuous."

 The proprietress was startled and forced a smile: "Young lady, you are joking. I guess you don't want your husband to come and play?"

 Chen Yao heard her talk getting more and more outrageous, so he interrupted her directly: "Just a small courtyard will be enough."

 Bai Piao crushed the hundred-liang silver with a "crack", picked up a piece in his palm and threw it to the proprietress: "Go, I want three or five young ladies to touch and suck it."

 "You?" The proprietress was even more surprised. She had never seen anyone bring their family to a brothel, and she had never seen a husband who did not have sex with his wife.

 "What?" Bai Piao raised his eyebrows.

 The proprietress nodded repeatedly: "It's okay, it's okay, guests, please come this way."

 After settling in, Lu Qing and Ling Hong clamored to go out for a walk.

 Chen Yao and Lu Dan had no choice but to go with them.

 Bai Piao was sitting in the yard drinking with a group of women who were dressed elegantly and behaved shyly.

 She was actually not as indecent as she looked. At most, she just lay on these women and let them give her a massage.

 Chen Yao saw through her at a glance that she was a coward, but without saying anything, he shook his head and left with the others.

 After leaving the brothel, Zizhulin Street is bustling with people, and there is a prosperous atmosphere of life.

 There are all kinds of shops lined up on both sides, and the sounds of shouting and hawking are everywhere.

 The final destination of several women including Ling Hong was naturally those cosmetics and jewelry shops.

 Chen Yao was impatient to go shopping with a woman who was not his woman, so he asked Ling Hong to follow Lu Dan closely, and then he went into a bookstore and browsed the books casually.

 The book owner was quite casual. When he saw a customer coming, he didn't come out to greet him. Instead, he sat on the rattan chair with his legs crossed, reading a book and sipping tea.

 Chen Yao took out a pornographic book.

 The boss glanced at it and said, "No bargaining, three hundred taels."

 Chen Yao was a little surprised: "Three hundred taels for a pornographic book?"

 The boss said without even looking up: "Look at the price! There are still some when it was only 300 taels!"

 The signature is from the owner of Mingzhai, and the handwriting is beautiful, like that of a woman.

 A woman painting pornographic pictures?

 Chen Yao didn't understand worldly affairs, nor did he know whether this person was really famous.

 Yun Jiang suddenly laughed.

 He didn't know what it meant either.

 "Boss, if you can tell me how good this book is, I'm not without three hundred taels."

 The boss grabbed the purple clay teapot, took a sip of tea, looked at Chen Yao's clothes and temperament, and then his eyelids lifted a little.

 "The owner of Mingzhai was a great artist three hundred years ago. She only painted this one set of erotic paintings in her life, yet it fetched a sky-high price. This alone is legendary enough."

 "If it's such a high price, why is it now only three hundred taels?"

 The boss looked regretful and sighed, "It's a pity that this item is not an ordinary item. Everyone who collected it died suddenly."

Chapter 345: Painted by Jiu Luo?

 "In that case, I think you might as well buy it."

 Jiu Luo spoke about trivial matters for the first time.

 Chen Yao was a little surprised and couldn't help but teasing: "Fairy, do you really hope that I will die suddenly?"

 Jiu Luo hummed, "I just saw that it would be of some benefit to you."

 "benefit?"

 Chen Yao flipped through the album and had to say that the characters in it were really lifelike and the movements were very exciting, especially the women, with their skin, figure, and voluptuousness.

 Yun Jiang was surprisingly silent. If he saw the problem, he would inevitably ridicule Jiu Luo. But it seemed that Jiu Luo's words should not be a big deal.

 "Although I don't see any benefit, this artist's painting skills are indeed very good. You can tell at a glance that he has touched countless exquisite beauties..."

 Before he could finish his words, Jiu Luo coughed a few times for some reason.

 "Stop talking nonsense, pay the money and leave here. I don't like this store."

 Jiuluo urged.

 The boss next to them was still drinking tea and couldn't hear their conversation.

 "If you're scared, you might as well put the book back. I'm asking for three hundred taels. Firstly, it's worth it, and secondly, it's to prevent anyone from getting hurt."

 Chen Yao looked at him and asked, "Boss, aren't you afraid of keeping this thing?"

 The boss stroked his beard and said, "I am upright and have never done anything immoral, nor do I have the habit of looking for prostitutes based on pictures..."

 "..."

 Chen Yao didn't know how to respond. He flipped through the album and took out three hundred taels: "I want this album."

 The boss then raised his eyebrows and glanced at Chen Yao: "Little brother, you are so generous. I hope you won't use it too hard. Young man, you should abstain from sex..."

 As Chen Yao was about to go out, he stumbled.

 "Fairy, what is the benefit of this album?"

 Chen Yao flipped through the pages.

 Jiu Luo said: "Let me see the booklet."

 "Hmph, what good can it do? It's just the old maid's lustful feelings..."

 Yun Jiang sneered.

 Jiuluo ignored her.

 Chen Yao had no choice but to stuff the album into the gourd.

 After waiting for a long time, Jiuluo did not respond at all.

 "Fairy?"

 Jiu Luo ignored it.

 "Fairy, could it be that Yun Jiang is really right?"

 Chen Yao was half joking and half skeptical.

 Jiuluo then snorted lazily to show his protest.

 "What did you tell me to do?"

 Chen Yao was even more confused. Why was she pretending to be stupid?

 "Fairy, picture album."

 Jiu Luo waited a moment before asking in a calm voice, "What album? I've never seen one."

 Denial, this is blatant denial.

 Is it really necessary to have a pornographic book...

 Chen Yao suddenly had an idea. The name of the erotic painter was... the owner of Mingzhai, a woman.

 Mingzhai, Ming Yangzong...

 "Fairy, the owner of this painting, could it be you?"

 Jiu Luo didn't answer.

 Chen Yao couldn't help laughing, and Yun Jiang also laughed.

 "I think there's more to it than that. If it's just because she painted it, she wouldn't necessarily lie to you. Perhaps, there's a secret hidden in this painting!"

 Yun Jiang lost no time in sowing discord.

 “No secrets.”

 Jiu Luo's voice was calm, but the fact that she recovered so promptly showed that she was a little anxious.

 Chen Yao frowned: "Then why did the fairy keep it? If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have thought that this painting was yours."

 "This painting has already caused great harm to others, so I must keep it..."

 Yun Jiang caught the loophole in her words again: "Then why did you draw such a harmful painting? It seems that the leader of the righteous sect is not a serious person..."

 Jiu Luo snorted: "Can't the leader of the righteous path kill time by playing Danqing?"

 "Of course I can, but the fairy's painting is a little too interesting..."

 Chen Yao couldn't help but tease Yun Jiang, which finally angered Jiu Luo.

 "Chen Yao!"

 Jiu Luo scolded in a delicate voice.

 But Chen Yao and Yun Jiang still couldn't stop laughing.

 Lu Dan and Ling Hong said that Lu Qing still had some things to buy, so they suggested that the three of them go back to the gold-selling den first.

 After strolling for a long time, plus walking for a long time in the morning, Ling Hong fell asleep on Lu Dan's shoulder.

 After returning to the den of brothel, Bai Piao was still drinking in the yard and chatting about life with the prostitutes.

 Lu Dan went to take care of Ling Hong.

 Chen Yao was a little bored, so he went to sit on the corridor outside the yard.

 Not long after, light footsteps were heard at the end of the corridor.

 Chen Yao looked up and saw Lu Qing eating a candied haws and walking towards him briskly.

 At this time, the setting sun, the surroundings are hazy, the lights are just coming on, and the figure of the girl in the corridor has a somewhat dreamy feeling.

 Lu Qing came three feet away from Chen Yao, stopped, and looked at him with a smile.

 There is no trace of the stubbornness and arrogance that he had before.

 Chen Yao didn't have a good impression of her: "What's wrong?"

 Lu Qing handed Chen Yao a half-eaten candied haws and asked, "Want to eat?"

 The voice is very charming.

 Chen Yao looked at the dimly lit candy coating and shook his head: "I don't like sweets."

 Lu Qing sighed: "That's a shame, the candied haws here are big and sour and sweet."

 She opened her mouth and picked up one, biting it with her cheek puffed up, and sat down casually next to Chen Yao.

 The girl's fragrance and body temperature came from beside Chen Yao.
