Chapter 17: Guests
Next.
He Lan was about to leave early in the morning. Bai Mingyue wanted to send her to the foot of the mountain, but He Lan didn't want to trouble her, and she was also worried about her safety on the road. So she was only allowed to send her outside the house.
At this moment, He Lan took Bai Mingyue's hand at the door outside the mansion and took the trouble to explain it over and over again. Let her stay at home and take good care of herself.
Bai Mingyue responded to her words one by one.
"Mother, you can go with confidence! There are so many people in the family! You're afraid they won't be able to take care of me! Bai Mingyue said helplessly.
"You! Mother is not worried that you are playful, and the people in the house can't control you. ”
"No, no, mother, don't worry, I will wait for you to come back at home." Bai Mingyue said, helping He Lan to the side of the carriage, "Mother, go quickly!" It's a long way to go, go early and arrive early. ”
"Okay, okay, mother, let's go. You kid.... He Lan got into the carriage, then lifted the curtain and waved her hand at Bai Mingyue, "Go back!" Take care of yourself at home. ”
"Hmm!" Bai Mingyue nodded with a smile and waved goodbye.
It wasn't until He Lan's carriage was far away that Bai Mingyue withdrew her gaze. Although she and He Lan didn't have much deep affection, watching her leave, her mood was inexplicably a little low.
"Miss, let's go back!" I don't know how long she stood until Xi'er reminded her to come back to her senses.
"Okay, let's go!" Bai Mingyue said and walked into the mansion.
In this huge Bai Mansion, there is now only one master left for Bai Mingyue. Inexplicably, she suddenly felt quite sad.
But on the other hand, this is not a good thing for her. In the future, she has no scruples about what she wants to do.
Back in the room, Bai Mingyue sent Xi'er away and locked a person in the room. Xi'er thought she was upset by Ho Lan's departure, so she didn't bother her.
……
At this time, on the street.
A short, handsome boy dressed in white satin, holding a folding fan, walked casually down the street.
This son is Bai Mingyue after some makeup. In order to come out on this trip by herself, she can be described as painstaking. Not only did he have to avoid Xi'er's sight, but he also had to climb over the wall.
Although the process was a little embarrassing, fortunately she escaped.
When she went out this time, Bai Mingyue's purpose was obvious. That is to go to another brothel opposite the Spring Flower Courtyard, called Beauty House.
Beauty House is not as good as Spring Flower Garden, with few guests and depression in front of the door. It's not easy to hold on until now.
And the reason why Bai Mingyue is eyeing the beauty house is because she found that in this era, it is better to make money from brothels. Just look at the Spring Flower Temple.
However, since she already has a spring flower courtyard, if she opens another brothel, I'm afraid it won't be so easy.
Bai Mingyue was thinking about it, so she planned to go to the Beauty Courtyard to find out the details first.
Bai Mingyue walked into the beauty courtyard, and there were almost no guests inside. A few girls sat together with nothing to do and talked about family life. An elderly lady swept around carelessly with a feather duster.
When Bai Mingyue walked in, the people inside all looked at her with surprised expressions.
After reacting, the eldest lady directly threw away the feather duster, and glanced at the girls while facing Bai Mingyue.
"Childe, hurry up inside, please." The eldest lady enthusiastically pulled Bai Mingyue's arm, as if she was afraid that she would run away. "Girls, come and serve your son."
Those girls seemed to have just reacted, and they all got up and ran towards Bai Mingyue. Bai Mingyue was really startled when she saw this formation. Suddenly I felt the urge to escape.
"Wait!" Bai Mingyue forcibly held back the discomfort in her heart, and said with a cold face: "I will leave myself." ”
The girls may have not picked up customers for too long, and the business is rusty. And it's rare for a guest to come, and they can't scare them away.
So after listening to Bai Mingyue's words, they were all much calmer, but they just surrounded Bai Mingyue in the middle, but they didn't dare to touch her.
Bai Mingyue was relieved to see that they were no longer leaning on her. Then he walked inside. I found a place to sit down.
She sat down, and the girls sat down beside her, waiting for her command.
However, Bai Mingyue didn't look at them at all, but stared at the eldest lady for a long time. The eldest lady was blushing when she saw it.
"You're the one in charge here?" Bai Mingyue asked suddenly.
The eldest lady didn't know why Bai Mingyue asked this, but she still nodded truthfully: "Yes, I don't know what the son commands?" ”
Bai Mingyue nodded knowingly. He looked around, then shook his head and said, "Your business here is not good!" ”
The eldest lady was stunned for a moment, and her face was a little embarrassed.
It's really not good for her business, but being pointed out to her face like this makes her feel a little uncomfortable.
"Childe, that's because those people don't have vision. All of our girls here are good girls, which one do you need to serve you? The eldest lady didn't care about Bai Mingyue, and said directly.
Hearing the eldest lady's straightforward words, the corners of Bai Mingyue's mouth twitched. But he looked at the girl next to him seriously.
The eldest lady is right, her girls are all very smart. And it seems to be quite obedient, not as annoying as the girl over there in the Spring Flower Garden.
When the girls saw Bai Mingyue looking at them, they all raised their heads and chests, showing their best side.
Bai Mingyue was really funny when she saw this. But seeing them work so hard to show themselves in front of her, she was embarrassed to break their hearts. So he said, "Our girls are really good. So be it! How about you all stay and talk to me? ”
The girls were dumbfounded when they heard this, and they all blushed as if they thought of something.
But that lady didn't think about it so much, seeing that Bai Mingyue ordered so many girls at once, she was happy in her heart.
"That's a good dare! Childe, don't worry, our girls are not only beautiful, but also versatile, they will definitely serve you comfortably. The eldest lady said meaningfully.
Bai Mingyue nodded with satisfaction, "Then aunt, can you leave first?" Ben Gongzi wants to have a good chat with these girls. ”
The eldest lady was slightly stunned, "Here?" ”
"Or else?" Bai Mingyue said disappreciatively.
The eldest lady showed a smile on her face and said, "Okay, listen to the son." Girls, serve the good son. ”
With that, the eldest lady went upstairs. When I left, I also broke up the guys who were doing chores in the store.
At this moment, only Bai Mingyue and those girls were left.
Bai Mingyue didn't make any mistakes, and took out a certain amount of silver and put it on the table. said: "This son has a few questions, as long as you answer them well, the silver is yours." ”
When the girls saw the silver, their eyes straightened. His eyes were fixed on the silver, and he nodded unconsciously.
"If Childe has anything to say, just ask."
When Bai Mingyue saw them looking greedy for money, she suddenly regretted it. I don't know if they can provide her with favorable news.
