The Female Assistant of Wei Yuyan Shuangfei

Yizhou has been a transit point for merchants since ancient times. In addition to connecting the two major foreign countries of Baiyue and Dali, it is also the only way to go north to Luzhou.

The prosperous business also boosted Yizhou's tax revenue, so much so that the curfew was delayed by one hour compared to ordinary towns.

The sounds of hawking can be heard one after another on the streets, car lights are flashing, and the bustling downtown area displays an endless sense of fireworks.

"When you walk, you should take bigger steps. You are acting like a scholar, so you should use the Wenchang Step... Hey, hey, hey, why are you using the Lotus Step again?"

The young man, dressed in green, blushed and said with a hint of anger: "Speak softly, I'm afraid others won't hear you."

"If I hadn't warned you, you would have been noticed before you even entered the door."

Seeing that the young man in blue had already started to adjust his pace, the man in white was slightly relieved and said, "Yes! You should show your presence. After all, you are a lady of an official family. Just change your manners."

The two were Xie Shuting and Li Shixian, who were dressed as men. After all, Xie Shuting's identity made it difficult for her to come to a place like Huanqing Building.

As soon as the two of them stood at the entrance of the Celebration Building, a waiter came up to them and asked flatteringly, "Is this your first time here, gentlemen?"

"This is my first time. Do you have any good stuff?" Li Shixian asked loudly, fiddling with the folding fan in his hand.

Upon hearing this, the waiter's eyes turned and he looked at the two of them briefly and said, "I wonder if you two are opening the market or looking for someone to get out?"

Xie Shuting was stunned when she heard this. She was not unfamiliar with these words, whether in her past life or this life, but it sounded different when they came out of the waiter's mouth.

Fortunately, Li Shixian was a frequent visitor to various brothels. After all, such a mixed place was the most convenient way to get information.

She knew that the waiter was testing her, so she waved her folding fan and said, "Open the market, and find a few capable girls who are good at poetry."

Without waiting for the waiter's reaction, Li Shixian took out a silver ingot from his arms and threw it out, then led Xie Shuting slowly into the Celebration Building.

After entering the building, she finally understood why men liked to come to this kind of place. Not to mention the beautiful women surrounding them, just the way they were dressed was enough to make the eyes burn.

The waiter at the door came back to his senses, followed them happily, and said in a loud voice: "Dear guests, Lanyuan is open for business, welcome guests, ladies."

As soon as the waiter finished speaking, he led the two men up to the attic and said, "Two gentlemen, please!"

By the time Xie Shuting no longer heard the sounds of sweet love, the three of them had already arrived outside an elegant attic.

Li Shixian glanced at the attic, picked up a chair and felt at ease. He nodded slightly and said, "It's okay."

The waiter smiled innocently and said, "This Orchid Garden is our hotel's top-class room. Please wait a moment, I will go and arrange for someone."

The waiter said, and just as he was about to turn around and leave, Li Shixian stopped him with a folding fan and said, "I wonder if the courtesan in your building is available to receive guests?"

The waiter's eyes turned, and after thinking for a moment, he begged for mercy: "My two distinguished guests, I am very sorry. The Oiran has been unwell these days, so I refuse to entertain you. Please forgive me."

"I just want him to drink tea and listen to music with us. Is that difficult?"

"Sir, this is not a difficult matter, it's just..."

Before the waiter finished speaking, he saw another silver ingot fall into his hand. Just by weighing it, he knew it was not light.

Immediately! He said with an apologetic smile: "I will go and ask the maid, so as not to spoil the young master's interest. You two will wait a moment."

This time, the waiter left Orchid Garden without any hindrance, and as soon as he returned to the hall, he was stopped by a strong old woman.

"Dog! Why were you yelling just now? It's just the opening. As for the ..."

The old woman looked at the silver ingot handed over by the dog, swallowed her saliva subconsciously and asked: "Who gave this to you?"

"Two gentlemen upstairs."

When Gou'er said this, he took a step forward, leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Mammy, they specifically asked Miss Xiyi to accompany them. I'm afraid it's not easy to fool them!"

As Gou'er spoke, he pointed at the silver in the old woman's hand and reminded her that, after all, those who could afford silver in the Song Dynasty were people of status.

Ordinary people usually used copper coins, while the slightly richer ones used silver notes. However, the silver ingots in the old woman's hand were not of a quality that could be circulated among ordinary people.

The old woman calmed down, gritted her teeth and said, "I'll do this, you just serve the people for me. If anything goes wrong, I'll skin you alive."

"No need to worry, no need to worry, Ma'am, please go quickly!" Gou'er urged repeatedly, and then led several maids and some snacks back to Lanyuan.

In a guest room on the top floor of the Celebration Building, a woman with a slightly graceful figure was gently tying her hair in front of a bronze mirror, her eyes full of sadness.

I saw her frowning slightly, her red lips parted but no words came out. After a sigh, she put down the comb.

Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door. The waiting maid glanced at the girl and then opened the door.

When she saw who it was, the maid leaned forward and said, "Greetings, Madam."

The old woman ignored the maid and walked straight to the dressing table. She said to the girl with a smile: "Xiyi! You must help Madam today. Go downstairs..."

Before the old woman could speak, the young girl interrupted her, saying, "Mammy! If I remember correctly, it's been a month since I redeemed myself. It seems that the time has not come yet!"

The so-called self-redemption means to bear the expenses of entertaining guests for one month. Most brothel girls would never do this, as it is a losing business.

Some capable people would get together with some rich men or become mistresses, which would save them money and stabilize their income.

How could the old woman not know, but through that ingot of silver, she could judge that the two young masters of Lanyuan must be of some status.

People like them who sell their bodies and smiles and are of low status have no qualifications or ability to challenge the other side.

The old lady was determined in her heart, so she could only smile and play the emotional card, "Xiyi! It's not that Mammy doesn't pity you, but we are in this line of work and we have no choice. You have to understand Mammy's painstaking efforts."

"Painful?"

The girl couldn't help but sneer, "Madam, you only care about money. You never care about us sisters. If you say that you have put in a lot of effort, I've never seen it."

The old woman suppressed the anger in her heart. She didn't dare to touch Xiyi at the moment. If she got hurt, she would be in trouble. She could only bear the pain and take drastic measures.

"If you go, Mammy, I will allow you to redeem yourself in one month."

The girl's hand stroking her hair paused for a second after hearing this, but she returned to normal in an instant and murmured, "Mammy, you should know the rules of self-redemption."

"Understand."

The old woman gnashed her teeth with a hint of anger and said, "The two young masters are in Lanyuan, and the opening order may have some elegant names."

"Please remember your promise, Mammy."

The girl put away her thoughts as she spoke, looked at her face in the bronze mirror and said, "Jade! Help me change my clothes."

"Yes!~" the maid responded repeatedly and quickly stepped forward to help the girl tidy up her clothes and makeup.
