Chapter 112
As the twilight thickens and the new moon rises, the ten-mile wind and moon field on Shanghai Beach begins to open a new round of fragrant night.
In the area of Baoshan Street, there is a waterfront three-storey pavilion called Yinxiang Building, which is a teahouse with a very good reputation and good business, and to put it bluntly, it is actually a combination of a teahouse and a brothel. Sanxin Trading Company is the backstage of this brothel. At that time, if the brothel wanted to have a foothold, it had to find a powerful backer in Shanghai, and only in this way could it be opened smoothly and do business, and no one dared to make trouble.
And it was Jian Maosheng who invited guests to dinner in Yinxianglou tonight, he Jian Maosheng Tang Tang was a government official, and it was already an incredible thing that he chose to hold a banquet on such a public and sensitive occasion, not to mention that he also invited the Bai family.
Mrs. Bai's face was embarrassed, Mrs. Jian maintained a bitter gourd face from beginning to end, and Jian Yi was also rarely silent.
"At the beginning of next month, I will marry Nan Xiangyu."
The reason is that Nan Xiangyu is pregnant with the flesh and blood of their Jian family.
Hua Ting subconsciously looked at Jian Yi, and this kid's expression seemed to have known for a long time.
Nan Xiangyu is the countertop of this Yinxiang Building, she was sold into the Qinglou at the age of five, because she was carefully cultivated by the old bustard because of her good looks, hoping to become a cash cow one day. And Nan Xiangyu really lived up to her expectations, when she debuted at the age of twelve, although she was just a Qingqi person who only accompanied the guests to "play tea", she could make more money than many prostitutes who sold meat. When she was fifteen years old, she officially picked up customers, and the first high roller who was her **** spent thousands of gold. Since then, she has been the top brand of Yinxiang Building, making the "Tea House" earn a lot of money.
And this year's Nan Xiangyu is only 21 years old, younger than Hua Ting, this Jian Maosheng actually said that he wanted to marry her!?
Hua Ting knows that in the era of the Republic of China, the heyday of prostitutes was generally fourteen to nineteen years old. Only when you are young enough can you withstand this kind of prostitute life of singing and singing every night. After the age of twenty, it will go downhill day by day.
Nan Xiangyu began to think about planning a way out for herself. The career of a prostitute, the scenery is just the years of Liu Mei Huayan. Once old and decrepit and no one cares, the result will be very miserable, she wants to find a lifelong home for herself before this, and that person is Jian Maosheng.
When Nan Xiangyu moved her elegant little steps and sat down on the empty seat specially set aside by Jian Maosheng, Hua Ting really felt that she was watching a common TVB life drama. And Mrs. Jane's usual arrogance has dissipated without a trace today, since the eldest lady of the Jian family has not expressed any opinions, the Bai family is even more lazy to care about this matter.
I thought that today's dinner would revolve around the I had with Shihei Inagaki, but looking at the current situation, Jian Maosheng is the protagonist tonight.
It can be seen from the accustomed eyes of the guests at other tables that the people of Shanghai Tang are afraid that the style of the two families of Bai and Jian is no longer strange.
Bai Qihong took the lead in raising a wine glass to celebrate, and then Mrs. Bai echoed, Jian Yi, the kid, took the wine glass quite indifferently, and Hua Ting followed suit, only Mrs. Jian silently finished eating the dishes on the plate, and turned a deaf ear to the sensitive topics on the table.
Hua Ting made a gesture for Jian Maosheng's situation tonight, and secretly praised it!
It's not enough to praise her, she still admires! I really admire!
This Nanxiang jade is indeed beautiful, whether it is a smile or a smile, it is all full of charm, and it can definitely be called a stunner among prostitutes.
She grew up in a brothel, and she willingly cooperated with the bustard's mother's careful training, making herself the most face-saving and beautiful top celebrity in Yinxianglou.
Her benefactors are too numerous to count, and every day there are men who come to hunt for beauty who want to see her; Her worth is also surprisingly high, whether it is playing tea circles, arranging flowers and wine, or going out or living in the game, she is twice or three times that of ordinary prostitutes. A month's salary for an ordinary junior clerk is not enough for her to pay for a night's prostitution. Even so, there are still a lot of men who rush to buy her a smile.
Not only that, Nan Xiangyu is also a smart woman, she has long realized a truth, if you want to become a generation of famous prostitutes, you must first have talent to build a foundation. Those talented women who are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are prostitutes, and they can always make people look up to themselves.
But she lacks such talent, she is not good at elegant actions such as poetry, painting, and chess, and no matter how much the master teaches, it will be useless. Fortunately, she learned the pipa very well, and her singing voice was also graceful and listening, and she had a little talent in music. Moreover, although she is not full of poetry and books, she is very smart and knows how to dress up with an elegant appearance of "poetry and books in her belly".
Although she is in such a Fengyue place, to put it bluntly, she is an out-and-out prostitute. But Nanxiang Yuguang doesn't look like a prostitute at all. She never wears heavy makeup or revealing clothes. She always wears light makeup and elegant clothes, has noble manners, talks elegantly, and looks dignified and demure.
Of course, Nan Xiangyu also has her own unique experience on how to become a successful famous prostitute. That is, the appearance can be as untouched as everyone's ladies, but the charm must not be missing. There is a saying that "if you are not flattering, you are not a good person". Prostitutes are actually the same, they must be charming enough to be amorous enough.
However, how to show off the style just right between the appearance of everyone's ladies and the inside of the dusty woman, there is an extremely subtle degree here. If you want to say that this degree is very difficult to grasp, it is too beautiful, and it becomes a wooden beauty; It's too dusty, and it looks a little lowly.
However, Nan Xiangyu relied on her own understanding to grasp this degree just right, thus achieving her reputation as the top brand of Yinxianglou.
Hua Ting knows that prostitutes are not as ordinary people imagine, they are forced to choose a career of flesh and skin. In fact, a red man like Nan Xiangyu, who grew up in a brothel and has been carefully cultivated as a cash cow since he was a child, has the best food and clothing. They have been tormented and devastated the least, and they have been getting the most benefits, and they have long been accustomed to this luxurious and erosive parasitic life. Let them leave the Qinglou to support themselves by working, they are not willing to live that kind of hard life.
However, as the top celebrity of Yinxianglou's infinite scenery, Nan Xiangyu has always confidently considered herself a woman who can conquer all men in the world with her beauty. In fact, she is also like this, every man who has seen her will be more or less fascinated by her, and there are countless people who surrender under the pomegranate skirt.
However, Hua Ting heard some time ago that Lu Yu, the president of Sanxin Trading Company, was the only one that Nan Xiangyu couldn't get in such a Fengyue place.
In Nan Xiangyu's many years of Fengyue career, she can't remember how many men have been fascinated by her, but she remembers the only young knife hand who was not moved by her very clearly. All her beauty and charm seemed to pass by like the wind in him, without a trace.
Nan Xiangyu is also resolute in her work, she knows that a woman should sell herself better at the best age, so not long after Lu Yu rejected her, she got involved with Jian Maosheng with lightning speed.
But for the first time, he was jealous of other women-that is, Lu Yu's current pursuit goal, Bai Huating. Before that, it had always been only other women who were jealous of her. jealous of her flower and moon appearance; Her charming; She has a lot of charm. But what's the use? No matter how many men are willing to spend money to support her, they are not the one she wants the most after all.
Hua Ting turned around, and saw Lu Yu on the third log table on the left hand, who was drinking with a few pot-bellied guests; He seemed to have been waiting for her attention for a long time, and he couldn't wait to wink at her before her eyes turned around, and his eyes swept over Nan Xiangyu, who was sitting opposite, and he also smiled unreservedly, which was regarded as a greeting.
Nan Xiangyu glanced at Hua Ting with a complicated expression.
She has been in a brothel for more than ten years, and she doesn't dare to say anything else, and her experience with men is absolutely unmatched. And Lu Yu, a man, has something special that she has never seen before. Not only did he not prostitute, gamble, or smoke opium, but he also did not even smoke or drink. In a group of muddy prostitutes, it is as refreshing as a clear spring.
Although his formal style is cruel and decisive, he reveals a bone of elegance and leisure, besides, he is still a teacher!
How can such a man appear in front of you, who is both transparent and mysterious, not to be impressed?
Except, of course, for flower listening.
As for his own destiny, Nan Xiangyu very much hopes that he can entrust it to someone like Lu Yu, although he does not act close to women, as if he is not interested in women at all. But she understands men, the more men who are not easily tempted by women, the easier it is to completely sink after being tempted, and from then on she will be unswervingly in love.
It's a pity that that person is listening to white flowers.
"This batch of goods is ...... this time" Bai Qihong slowly opened his mouth, the smile in the corner of his eyes was quite meaningful, and he turned his gaze to Hua Ting's face at the right time, "I need someone from Sanxin Trading Company." ”
Flower Ting's lips paused slightly on the edge of the glass.
Bai Qihong continued to laugh, "But I haven't dealt with Sanxin's people. ”
Isn't that what this means......
Hua Ting was also extremely cooperative, "I'll try." ”
The hostility in Nan Xiangyu's eyes deepened. (To be continued.) )
