Chapter 10: Clever words can seduce thieves

Another glass of wine.

Hong Wei was a little tired.

It’s not tiredness, it’s boredom.

In the past few days, he has been staying in Yuqi Building, and all he does is eat, drink and go whoring.

As one of the most high-end brothels in Hangzhou, the hardware and services of Yuqi House are naturally not bad, but...people like Hong Wei have been to too many similar places. His desire for wine and sex has been brought to a very high level. Just being "good" is not enough for him.

As mentioned earlier, Hong Wei became a flower picker because he was no longer satisfied with the excitement that money could buy. Now he would go into this brothel just to have a look. What is the difference between the brothels in Hangzhou and those he has visited in the past?

The result is no different.

So his crooked thoughts started to work again...

At this moment, he was holding a wine glass in his hand and holding the girl in his arms, but he was thinking in his heart: I can't wait until tomorrow. I have to go out for a walk and see if there are any good girls or wives from good families on the road that I like. If I can't find a good one, I will go and find out where there are the kind of ladies who stay in the house and don't go out. Or you can go to a nunnery to explore.

Look at his thoughts... To be honest, compared with him, the high-ranking Ximen official back then felt inferior.

Even he himself doesn’t know when he became like this. Before the age of twenty-five, he was a handyman who only dared to peek at women, but now he has become a evil ghost and a woman. If the master who left his martial arts skills down in the valley knew that he had created such a disaster, he would be so angry that he would crawl out of the ground.

"Thank you, today's food and wine... don't taste to your taste?"

The girl from Yuqilou is also very good at observing words and expressions. When she saw the look on Hong Wei's face, With his expression on his face, he asked tentatively.

Hearing this, Hong Wei came back to his senses and smiled, then reached out and pinched the other person again: "Haha...hehehe, I'm just thinking about something."

Just as they were talking, the madam of the brothel just opened the door and walked in.

As soon as she heard what Hong Wei said, the madam raised her voice and said, "Oh, uncle, what you said is right..." As she said this, she approached Hong Wei, " What's wrong with the girl here~ Why are you still distracted when you're so beautiful?"

Hong Wei glanced at her and raised the corner of his mouth: "Ha... Madam, you're here just in time?" , let me ask one more question..." He was an old prostitute, and he would not talk nonsense to the old man, so he said directly, "You... have you brought any girls I have seen? ?”

By coincidence, the madam came in just now, just to find a chance to talk to him about this matter.

"Hey, uncle." But she still had to put on airs, put on an unhappy look, and looked at the two girls who were accompanying Hong Wei at the moment, "This Cuicui Honghong, what's wrong with you? Did you say the wrong thing?What about you? Or was the service inconsiderate? The girl is still in your arms, why are you asking me this? "

When Hong Wei saw this, he sneered, but his attitude was still very calm: "They... are pretty good. ”

That’s all he said, and he didn’t say any more.

The implication behind the words is just waiting for the other party to understand it.

Being able to become a madam Who are these people? They are all human beings, the type who can definitely survive into the later stages of a palace fighting movie. Can you not understand what he means?

" You go out first. "After taking a breath, the old bustard's face darkened, and he said something and winked at the two girls in the room.

Cuicui and Honghong walked very fast, after all, they could Who wants to work overtime after get off work?

After the two of them left the house and closed the door, the madam took a few steps to the side with an air of air and a cold look on her face, and then talked to herself. He sat down at Hong Wei's table.

Seeing her tone, Hong Wei was not angry, but also a little happy, because he understood that the old woman was in such a state, which meant that she was in such a state. There are still "good things" hidden.

"Mom..." Therefore, the next second, Hong Wei changed his name to the other party and his tone became more friendly, "...but there are What's not convenient to say? "

"Huh...this is inconvenient..." the madam paused here, "...aren't I just looking at you? "

As soon as Hong Wei heard this, he became even more excited: "Oh~ I understand, I understand..."

As he spoke, his right hand reached into his arms. He quickly took out two ingots of silver and put them on the table.

These two ingots were larger pieces of silver that he had exchanged with the silversmith two days ago. ——Yes, you read that right. The day after he collected Brother Sun’s money, he went to see the silversmith. In other words, he had actually been exposed.

“Well. ..." The madam looked sideways at the silver on the table, but did not take it. He just groaned and continued, "Master, that's not what I meant. ”

“Oh? "Seeing that she was still trying to pass things off, Hong Wei was a little unhappy. He was used to being a bad person now, and his patience had become very bad. He would often fall out after just a few words, "Are you too young? "

"Hey~" After being treated so harshly, the Madam's attitude softened again, "Master, please listen to what I tell you..." After saying this, she pretended to stretch out her hand and The money on the table was put into his arms, "It really doesn't matter how much money you have..."

As soon as Hong Wei saw that the other party had taken the money, he felt a lot more at ease, and his face also changed. A smile appeared again: "Ah... I understand. " He immediately speculated on a possibility based on his experience of intensive visits to brothels in the past six months, "Are there some kind of 'noble' girls who are not willing to meet customers casually? ”

His inference is very reliable.

In Dashu, there are many brothels, especially the high-end ones, and thieves like to do this.

"Alas..." Unexpectedly, the madam in front of her sighed, "It's not that she's not willing to 'meet guests casually', it's that she doesn't see guests at all."

"Ah?" Hong Wei raised his eyebrows and said, "Mom, do you think I'm a layman?" He paused for half a second and then continued, "Can she still let her enter your place? As long as you want, Is there any way to force her to submit? "

He is right, except for the special situation like the concubine, normally speaking, what kind of brothel will raise idle people?

If a brothel owner really wants to force a woman to pick up a client, there are many ways, unless you really have the guts to hit her to death and kill her... But those kind of people are very few after all. If there are many, That brothel has already closed down.

"Sir, you don't know something about this." The old madam said, and picked up a glass of wine on the table that the girl just drank, took a sip, and then said, "This is not an ordinary thing. I've been in this business for decades, and this is the first time I've seen a 'skinny horse' in such good condition..."

"Wait a minute, wait a minute," she said. As soon as she got up, Hong Wei interrupted her, "We've been making trouble for a long time, and it's just a 'skinny horse'?"

It's normal for him to have this reaction.

What is a thin horse? To put it bluntly, she is a girl raised by a trafficker who specializes in "skinny horse trading".

This kind of human traffickers usually do not steal, but directly pay to buy good-looking girls from poor families. After buying them back, they teach them singing, dancing, music, chess, calligraphy and painting, etc., and wait for the girls to grow up. After they grow up, the traffickers divide them into several grades according to their appearance and talents. The "high-grade" ones are sold to the rich as concubines, the "middle-class" ones are sold as servants or maids, and the "lower-grade" ones are sold as concubines. Sold to Qinlou Chuguan and Yanhualiuxiang.

Therefore, when Hong Wei heard the word "skinny horse" at this moment, his first reaction was that he must be a low-class product to enter a brothel, so he was a little disappointed.

"Don't worry, just listen to me." The old bustard was not angry, curled his lips and continued, "Although he is a 'skinny horse', he was not sold because of his inferiority. There is a reason for what we have here."

"What reason?" Hong Wei responded with the attitude of letting it go.

The old bustard then spoke eloquently: "This girl was originally bought with a lot of money and was intended to be given to Mr. Wan, the right servant of the Ministry of Revenue, as a concubine; who would have thought...she has not yet passed the family. Then, she was caught by the servant's wife. When she saw how beautiful she was, how could she allow her to stay? But she was afraid that she would be sent back if she was sent back in the future, so she secretly sent her out of the house. , she was sold far away again, and then she was transferred to me." She said and took another sip of wine. "Don't think she is a 'skinny horse'. I bought her for a full two hundred taels... At this price, I feel like I got a bargain... Not to mention you guys, I'm tempted by this girl."

Hearing this.Inside, Hong Wei became restless. Regardless of his status as a guest, he picked up the jug and poured a glass of wine for the madam: "Mom, are you serious about this? Is she really that beautiful?"

"Look at what you said." The old madam's attitude was very confident, "Can I lie to you? If it is false, won't you tell me after just one look?"

"Yes, yes..." The smile on Hong Wei's face was almost unbearable, "Then... you said she didn't accept guests, so what's the matter?"

"Alas... ...Isn't that what it is..." The old madam replied with an unhappy look on her face, "That girl said that although she was born as a thin horse, she is still a virgin... Originally, she could marry the minister as a concubine. She accepted it, but now she lives with me, which ruined her fortune.

“She is a smart person. She knows that she wants to marry into a good family in the future, so she can’t accept guests here. , so she discussed with me, saying that she would not see guests, but she would not let my old lady support her in vain. As long as someone was willing to redeem her life, she would go directly with them, and all the money for the redemption would belong to me, and she would not take any of it.

"I'm thinking about it...She's like this. Even if I have a way to force her to submit, I won't be able to earn as much as two hundred taels that time. What if she loses her temper the next day? , I threw a plate and wiped my neck with porcelain, then I will suffer a big loss, so..."

At this point, the old madam's words are almost the same, and Hong Wei doesn't care about the rest.

"Mom, is this girl... really still a Huanghuaer eldest daughter?" Hong Wei listened to a lot of things, and finally his attention fell on this sentence.

"Huh...why am I lying to you?" The old bustard said, "That's right. If you and her could really get married, wouldn't you see it yourself?"

"Well..." the madam said, "It's not okay to let her see you directly. She said she won't meet guests, but...I can let you take a sneak peek at her."

"A sneak peek. ?" Hong Wei thought, "What's the best way?"

"That's easy," the madam replied, "It's too late today, I'll find a good time to give it to her tomorrow. Call her during dinner, and then you can take a look outside the room." She said with a confident look on her face, "I'm not boasting, this girl... Just this one glance, you will definitely finish it. I can't pull it out."

"Oh~" Hong Wei said with a smile, "Then I really want to take a closer look."

"But, Master... "The madam said, "After seeing this, if you are satisfied..." She raised her hand and made a gesture of rubbing money, "How much do you plan to pay to redeem her life?"

"This? Well..." Hong Wei thought for a while, "How much do you think is appropriate?"

"Ah..." Upon hearing this question, the madam immediately began to pretend to look at her nails.The tone of her speech also became pretentious, "If this girl is willing to accept guests, she will be a money tree... Don't look at the cost of two hundred taels, with her beauty, she can earn it for me in half a year, and then Even if she gets older, her beauty fades, and her body becomes looser... she can still be famous for another ten or eight years, but she still has to earn a thousand and eight hundred taels no matter what."

"Haha. ..." Hong Wei said with a smile on his face, "It's hard to say what happened ten or eight years ago. I'm so close to the eyes... I haven't seen the person yet, and I can't say anything about the price; but, wait until I see it tomorrow. , if I think it is good, then I will at least give this number..." As he spoke, he held out five fingers and said, "...I wonder what mom wants?"

When the old bustard heard this, his eyes rolled. Turn: "Well... let me think about it too."

"Okay." Hong Wei continued, "Let's all think about it..."

The two of them said this , as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding, each raised his glass and drank a toast.

Actually, Hong Wei will not "think about it again", he has already thought about it - he will go directly to "pick flowers" tonight; as for the money, he will not give another penny. Yes, right now, all I have to say is to stabilize the other party.

“Ah——” After the liquor passed down his throat, Hong Wei let out a hearty breath, and then said, “By the way, after talking for so long, what is the girl’s name, how old is she, and where does she live? "Fang... you haven't told me yet."

"Oh~ That's easy to say." The madam has been waiting for this question for a long time. This is the most important answer she needs to answer here today, "She I don’t have a name, so I’m just called ‘Zhi’er. I’m eighteen this year and live in the west wing of the second floor.”
