#544 - Liu Yanyan
As soon as they entered Drunken Immortal Pavilion, Lu Xiaoliu specifically requested a girl to accompany him.
Anyone who didn't know better would think she was Lu Xiaoliu's old flame.
"Wait? Could she really be Mr. Lu's old flame?" Xu Ming wondered in surprise.
The more Xu Ming thought about it, the more he felt it was possible.
Because Mr. Lu was far too familiar with Xifeng City.
Especially this Drunken Immortal Pavilion; it was as if this Drunken Immortal Pavilion was Mr. Lu's home.
Not to mention that upon arriving in Xifeng City, Mr. Lu's first priority was to head straight to this brothel.
Previously, Mr. Lu had even specifically asked a passerby what the most famous brothel in Xifeng City was, but in Xu Ming's opinion, it was very likely that Mr. Lu had asked that on purpose, just to cover up the fact that he wanted to find his old flame.
Hearing that this handsome scholar was looking for Miss Yan Yan, the girls exchanged glances, their heavily made-up faces revealing embarrassed expressions.
"Um... Young master, Miss Yan Yan is the top courtesan of our Drunken Immortal Pavilion, and she has been practicing qin music recently, so I'm afraid she won't be able to accompany you."
The girl's words were very tactful.
The excuse was "practicing qin music," but the key point was actually "top courtesan of Drunken Immortal Pavilion."
As the top courtesan in the most famous brothel in Xifeng City, her status was naturally very unusual; not just anyone could meet her.
It wasn't just a matter of having money; you had to have a certain status as well.
Of course, if you were particularly rich, that wasn't out of the question either.
Otherwise, to say nothing of anything else, the top courtesan's prestige would be gone.
Lu Xiaoliu naturally understood what they meant.
To a certain extent, Lu Xiaoliu had grown up in brothels since he was a child; he often frequented brothels when he was young.
Although every brothel was different, Lu Xiaoliu was very familiar with the most basic rules of brothels.
Lu Xiaoliu wasn't annoyed; he just smiled: "I naturally know that Miss Yan Yan is very busy, but please trouble you to tell her that a poor scholar has come to see her.
I believe that as long as you relay the message truthfully, Miss Yan Yan will know who is looking for her."
As he spoke, Lu Xiaoliu took out a few medium-grade spirit stones from the storage bag Xu Ming had given him and threw them into the girls' snowy white cleavage.
The girls quickly took the spirit stones from their chests and put them into their sleeves.
Seeing how generous this scholar was, he didn't seem like a poor scholar at all.
Moreover, from his words, it sounded like this scholar knew Sister Yan Yan?
But it didn't matter; they were just doing things for money, and there was nothing wrong with just passing on a message, so Mama wouldn't blame them.
Anyway, whether or not she would see this scholar was up to her; it wasn't something they could decide.
"Sisters, hurry up and lead the two young masters to their seats." A girl in a turquoise dress greeted the girls beside her, "Young masters, please sit down, listen to a little tune, and watch the girls dance. I'll go and pass on the message for you."
"Thank you," Lu Xiaoliu nodded and bowed.
"No trouble at all; you're too kind."
The girl in the turquoise dress swayed her waist and left.
"Young masters, please sit here."
Surrounded by the girls, Lu Xiaoliu and Xu Ming sat down at a window seat on the second floor.
"Ladies, there's no need to entertain us; just bring us a pot of wine," Lu Xiaoliu said to the girls around him, "For the wine, bring your most famous peach blossom wine."
The girls exchanged glances, naturally knowing that the two guests just wanted to talk privately and didn't want anyone else present.
"Very well, please wait a moment, young masters; it will be here soon," a girl said with a smile, then led the other girls away.
The Drunken Immortal Pavilion was very lively.
The girls dancing on the stage had very good figures, soft and boneless, their dances were moving, and their snow-white skin was exposed, which was very alluring.
Xu Ming had always felt that the ancient brothels were much better than the streamers he had seen in his previous life.
Those streamers just wiggled their butts and turned on beauty filters; the only people who could touch them were the top patrons on the gift rankings, and even then, it cost more money.
In comparison, although brothels were money pits, weren't they better than those online streamers?
Their talent alone could be considered that of old artists.
"Who is this girl that Mr. Lu wants to see?"
Xu Ming asked curiously.
At first, Xu Ming thought that Mr. Lu was just lustful and wanted to go to a brothel to listen to music, but now, looking at Mr. Lu's appearance, it seemed that something was really going on.
Lu Xiaoliu's mouth curled up: "Don't worry, we'll talk about it when Miss Yan Yan wants to see us. For now, let's watch the dancing. Look at the ass of this girl from the Western Regions; it's really something! As expected of the Western Regions style; compared to it, the Central Plains always feels like it's missing something."
Xu Ming: "."
Before long, the wine was brought over.
Xu Ming just drank wine and surveyed this large brothel.
In contrast, Lu Xiaoliu watched the girls dance very seriously and attentively.
"This wine is good," Xu Ming said in surprise after drinking a cup.
"That's natural," Lu Xiaoliu smiled, "This Drunken Immortal Pavilion was originally a restaurant, but it just changed its business."
"..."
Xu Ming didn't know what to say for a moment.
Good heavens.
A restaurant changed its business to a brothel.
That's quite a leap.
But, whether it was a restaurant or a brothel, they actually had one thing in common: the profits were very high.
Just as Xu Ming had drunk half a pot of wine, and the girls on the first floor had danced two short tunes, the woman in the turquoise gauze dress walked over and bowed to Lu Xiaoliu and Xu Ming:
"Young masters, Miss Yan Yan invites you; please come with me."
Xu Ming looked at Lu Xiaoliu in surprise, not expecting that Lu Xiaoliu could really meet Miss Yan Yan.
Lu Xiaoliu's mouth curled up, he stood up, and said to Xu Ming: "Let's go, let's go and meet Miss Yan Yan together."
