Heaven's Formula

Page 148

She has stayed in the Wushuang Pavilion for too long, and she has already understood some truths - don't comment on the guests publicly at any time, at least not for everyone to hear.Who knows if there is an enemy who just hates you and happens to be liked by the guests. If the extra words reach the ears of the guests and the other party is quite powerful, the next day will suffer.

"Sister Yu, you are here." Suddenly, a beautiful girl in a pink cardigan skirt lay down in front of her, "I didn't expect that Sister Hong would call you along."

Speaking of this, she suddenly covered her mouth belatedly, "Ah... sorry, I didn't mean to make fun of you..."

Yu Shuangxue shook her head indifferently, "It's okay, I know you're outspoken."

"Hey, Sister Yu is still reasonable." The other party rubbed his head in embarrassment.

The girl in the pink dress is named Xintao, she is 14 years old this year, her talent and appearance are top-notch, and it is rumored that several high-profile customers have noticed her. In the next few years, she will undoubtedly It can bring huge income to Wushuang Pavilion.A woman with a "bright future" like this should not get mixed up with an old girl who has passed away, but she just likes to lean by Yu Shuangxue's side when she has nothing to do, which Yu Shuangxue herself finds it incomprehensible.

She is now 25 years old.

25 years old is not an exaggeration to describe a woman in a brothel as dying. Even though she is still a noble woman, in everyone's eyes, she is no different from the dead branches and leaves on the treetops in winter.

Even the new girls would curiously ask why such an old girl was kept in the Wushuang Pavilion. After all, according to the usual practice, a girl who is not cared about later will either turn into a nun or become a washerwoman.Of course, this is not bad luck, if the brothel is unwilling to take in, the fate of the woman who is driven out will be miserable.

In everyone's eyes, Yu Shuangxue is obviously close to this ending.

Only a few people know that she was once the well-deserved top card in Wushuang Pavilion.

"You said... what kind of person is this strange guest?" Xintao looked up to the third floor and said curiously, "I guess he should have a strong figure with a protruding abdomen; thick fingers, There are jade rings on her knuckles; her eyebrows are thicker than the shaft of a pen, and her eyes are like copper bells."

"Why?" Yu Shuangxue raised her eyebrows.

"Don't literati all pay attention to a mood? Flowers before the moon, lonely men and widows... Only when two people are together can they taste that taste, and standing by the side is too redundant." Xin Tao analyzed clearly, "And this person once called There are so many, and you can choose like a horse on a horse, you are definitely not a literati, so naturally you have to choose the opposite of the literati. The one who can make Sister Hong cooperate so much must be a very oppressive person."

"No matter who he is, we'll see you later anyway." Yu Shuangxue picked up the cup, "Maybe you will have another follower today."

"I... don't want it anymore." Xintao embraced her chest, "I will be out of breath when such a heavy person presses on me. If he wants to do something to me, if he grabs it with a big hand, wouldn't I resist? There is no room for him? If he keeps my mouth shut..."

"Okay, stop. Pretend I didn't say anything." Yu Shuangxue interrupted with a headache. She has to say that the thinking and style of the new generation of girls is beyond her comprehension, especially after seeing the slightly reddened cheeks of the other party. . "Do you always think about such things?"

"Yeah, I have written a lot of stories, but no one has read them." Xintao chuckled, "How about Sister Yu..."

"No, thank you." Yu Shuangxue said without hesitation.

"I, I haven't said anything yet!" The little girl said with an aggrieved expression.

"Hey, Sister Yu, what do you think?" At this moment, someone suddenly brought the topic to her.

"As long as she has a chance, she should be anyone, right?"

"But that also requires others to think highly of her..."

Although these whispers were not loud, they were just enough for everyone in the lobby to hear.

There was a burst of suppressed laughter in the crowd.

"That's right, she's already 25 years old... There are so many sisters in Wushuang Pavilion, where can I get her?"

"I really don't know why Miss Hong kept her."

"She used to be the top card."

"It's fake, the top card club can't even make a red lady?"

There were more and more discussions.

"What are you talking about!" Xintao couldn't help but stood up and shouted at the crowd, "It's not that sister Yu decided to come here on her own. If you have any questions, ask the proprietress to ask!"

"Hey, where did this carrot head come from?" A woman in an emerald green robe walked up to the table for the two of them and looked down at Xintao from a high position—she was the one who led the conversation before. She is also very popular among the guests, "So it's Miss Tao. Are you afraid that you will end up like this if you help others so quickly?"

"Don't bother me, sister," Xintao said, "I just turned fourteen, and you are already twenty, no matter how you think about it, you should worry about this problem first. Are there already customers who are complaining?" Your skin is not good, and your beauty is gone? Su, Da, sister?"

"You—" The emerald woman's face changed suddenly when the elder sister said, "You have sharp teeth and a sharp mouth!"

"Acceptance, acquiescence." Xintao put on a show and cupped her hands.

The former couldn't bear it anymore, she grabbed the teacup on the table and wanted to pour it on the little girl's head.

But just as the cup was raised, Yu Shuangxue had already pressed down on her wrist first.

Then there is the opportunity to pull.

Yu Shuangxue almost grabbed the opponent's hand and shattered the porcelain cup on the table.

At the same time, driven by this force, Miss Su involuntarily leaned forward and fell in front of the table, hitting the table with her face sideways, and was almost pierced by the shattered porcelain.

Looking at the small sharp fragments in front of her eyes, Miss Su trembled all over.

"Listen, it's not for any other reason why I'm here, but I've saved enough money in the past to allow me to pay to live here - and expenses like this can be maintained More than ten years, do you understand?"

"I, I heard."

"In this business, you can't do anything in your face. If you dare to pour boiling water on someone next time, I guarantee that this porcelain bowl will be broken in your face. Now, stay away from me."

As soon as Yu Shuangxue let go, the other party ran backwards rolling and crawling.

"Thank you..." Xintao cautiously let go of the hand covering her head, "...I was saved by you again."

again?Yu Shuangxue frowned slightly, have I saved you so many times?But before she could ask her questions, the door of the wing room on the third floor opened suddenly, and a group of girls came out in a file, and it seemed that none of them stayed behind.

Is the other party's eyes so high?

The last one to come out was Miss Hong.

She clapped her hands to the girls downstairs, "Now it's your turn, come up."

Chapter 297 Freedom

Yu Shuangxue had no choice but to suppress her doubts, and led by Xintao to the third floor and into the wing room.

Everyone saw the man at a glance.

He was sitting on a soft chair in the hall, flipping through a book in front of him, with a calm and focused expression.

"Hey, this man... so young." Xintao lowered her voice.

In fact, the other party is not only young, but also looks quite different from what Xintao had guessed before. He is not a wealthy businessman who is arrogant and bold, and even looks a little restrained.The facial features are well-proportioned, and the clothes are also very refreshing. It is not surprising to say that he is a fledgling son from any family, but if that is the case, it should be impossible for Hong Jie to make such a big move.

Of course, Yu Shuangxue didn't have much affection for this person.

The appearance is just a skin, she has seen too many different young masters, but they are all surprisingly similar in heart.Thinking of the other party's look like a plaything, she felt a sincere nausea in her heart.

With her impromptu performance, she has also been on the top spot that is sought after by many.There were not a few people who wanted to take her as a concubine, but she insisted on rejecting everyone's marriage promises under great pressure, and for this reason she did not hesitate to fall out with the proprietress.If it were an ordinary woman, Sister Hong would have swept her out of the house long ago, but facing the confident Yu Shuangxue, the proprietress did not dare to do so, and in the end she withheld most of the money she deserved, saying that she was just She kept it on her behalf to subsidize her usual food and clothing expenses.

So Sister Hong notified her to come here, not because of the kindness of "give her a chance, maybe the two of them will see each other", but simply because she wanted to humiliate her.

As long as she appears in this kind of occasion, she will definitely hear ridicule such as no one cares about her, and not leaving. After all, the brothel is not a place to judge seniority, and new women will always only care about the current top card, and themselves. When can climb to that position.

Sister Hong probably really wanted to see her complaining and crying.

It's a pity that her tears were shed ten years ago.

Seeing that everyone was here, the man also put down the book in his hand, and spread his right hand towards everyone, "Please sit down."

Opposite him, there were four or five rows of cushions on the floor—so many cushions, obviously gathered from other wing rooms.

"This... is too crowded, isn't it?"

"Don't talk about playing the zither, you can't even play the pipa and huqin."

"The people sitting in the back may not even be able to see their faces."

"It's rare that I'm wearing a set of clothes ordered from Jinsifang... Hey, be careful, you stepped on the corner of my clothes."

Suddenly there was a whisper in the crowd.

But the guest's request comes first. Although everyone was a little reluctant, they still squeezed and sat down according to his wishes.

Yu Shuangxue was too lazy to compete with others for the front row seat, so she simply sat in the last row.

Surprisingly, Xintao also sat beside her.

"Aren't you going to the front?"

"Not yet..." She said a little embarrassedly, "This young man seems a little thin, maybe he is not suitable for me."

No way, Yu Shuangxue twitched the corners of her mouth. Could it be that the image this guy imagined before was not based on reason, but out of his own preference?

"Good evening, everyone. Let me introduce myself first." The man said at this moment, "My name is Xia Fan, I am from Jinxia City, and I am currently serving as the Prime Minister of the Jinxia Privy Council. I am very happy to meet all the girls."

"Pfft..." Someone couldn't help but chuckled, "What kind of prologue is this?"

"It's too direct, isn't it?"

The whispers were kept low, but when everyone was discussing, it was equivalent to a commotion.

"I thought he was a scholar, but I didn't expect it to be girls..."

"It's rare to use 'I', shouldn't you use Xiaosheng?"

"Understood, so you like the weak type."

"But the Prime Minister of the Privy Council is an official, right? And where is Jinxia City?"

"It seems to be in the southeast of Daqi?"

Until someone said something - "I heard that the minimum requirement for a Fucheng is a hundred blades, which is equivalent to a fourth-rank official in the imperial court."

The commotion subsided instantly.

There was an eerie silence in the wing room.

No one could have imagined that this man, who looked about the same age as most of the sisters, was already in the fourth rank!

What kind of concept is that? Fourth-rank officials are either prefects or state shepherds in other places. They are all serious power holders, and they can be said to be the masters of a place.Even if there are so many officials big and small in Gyeonggi, the fourth rank is still a rare guest in the brothel, let alone such a young fourth rank!

Even if his opening remarks are uneducated, this background is enough to make everyone look sideways.

"Hello, Master Xia, the slave family is being polite."

After a moment of silence, everyone scrambled to get up and salute.Those in the back wanted to squeeze out a seat, but the front didn't want to get out of the way, and the wing room seemed a little chaotic for a while.

"Okay, you guys should sit down and talk about it." Xia Fan pressed down, "I saw someone mentioned Jinxia's problem, so I might as well introduce it here. It is the core city of Shenzhou, and it is also the beginning of the city. One of the Yancheng in China..."

"Uh... Sister Yu, is our place really a brothel?" Xintao couldn't help asking in a low voice, "Why didn't he mention poetry and folk art at all?"

Yu Shuangxue was also a little dazed, she even had the feeling that she had returned to her elementary school days, when the master taught them the outside world and Daqi's style so earnestly.However, the other party wants to explain in more detail, covering almost everything from population to business, from history to the current situation.

Half an hour later, he ended the topic—now everyone not only knew where Jin Xia was, but also became half a "Jin Xia Tong".

The problem is... this is the Wushuang Pavilion, why did he spend money here to introduce Jinxia City?

As if seeing everyone's doubts, Xia Fan stood up and hung a roll of paper on the wall behind him.

Immediately someone read the large characters on it.

"Jinxia City...a talent introduction plan?"

"That's right, this is a recruitment for the whole territory of Daqi, and you are the first batch of invitees." Xia Fan nodded, "I have written the definition and requirements of talents on the scroll. If you have any questions, you can ask me anytime.”

"Sister Yu, is he poaching a corner?" Xintao said in shock, "Could it be that Jinxia's brothel is understaffed, so they've sent all their ideas to Shangyuan City?"

No... something is not quite like it.Yu Shuangxue stared at the roll of hanging paper - in the conditions below, it was indicated that there were no restrictions on gender and age, as long as anyone could read and write, had not committed any serious crimes, and was willing to learn new knowledge.This doesn't look like a brothel's recruitment style at all, or in other words, it's the first time she's seen such a recruiting method!

But the remuneration specified next is all real. There is a salary of up to five taels of cash per month, including food and housing, and bonuses are given according to results. These remuneration alone have already been compared with some officials in Gyeonggi Not much difference.As for the words such as weekends and weekends on weekdays and paid holidays, although it is a bit of a mouthful to read, you can feel the sincerity of the recruiter-Jin Xia not only considered the salary, but also took the rest and unexpected suspension into consideration.

Such a request obviously has nothing to do with the brothel.

More than one person in the side room realized this, "Excuse me, my lord, what is Jin Xia looking to hire someone for?"

"You can do whatever you want, but the most suitable job for you right now is teacher...or teacher."

The crowd couldn't help being uproarious.

This is completely beyond everyone's imagination.

"It's impossible for Miss Hong to agree, right?"

"Master Xia must be joking, there is no reason for us to be masters."

"And it's Shenzhou, isn't it too remote?"

This is what girls care about the most.

If this happened in Shangyuan, it would be no problem to see it, but Jinxia is different.

For them, it was a foreign land that was almost completely unfamiliar.

"Jinxia City is too far away, no one would want to go there, right?"
