Long Aixi’s face turned stern, and she didn’t say whom she wanted to choose, only gazing at Xia Dabao.
Xia Dabao, paying no heed, was only looking at the ladies around him, pinching a face here, squeezing a waist there, taking full advantage of the situation.
Long Aixi’s plexion turned dark.
Fortunately, at this moment, the old madam arrived. Naturally, she was someone who opened up at the sight of money. Seeing Xia Dabao holding money, her face bloomed into a smile, “Young master, you’ve really e to the right place today. Here at Xianglan Courtyard, and I’m not boasting, the ladies are several times more beautiful than those at any other places like Yihong Courtyard or Xiangman Building. I wonder which lady or ladies the masters wish to pick? I can arrange an excellent room for the master, where you can enjoy drinks and music.”
Xia Dabao stood up with a smile, visiting this kind of venue for the first time, intrigued by everything. He said, “Good, then prepare a room for me first. As for the lady, I’ve heard you have a top courtesan called Yuelian?”
“Yuelian?” Upon hearing this, the old madam’s face changed slightly, “Yuelian went through some things last night, her chastity was taken, and now her mood might not be so good, I fear she may not serve the young master well. How about choosing another lady?”
“No, I want Yuelian,” said Xia Dabao, “Before ing here, I heard that Lady Yuelian only sells her art and not her body. I don’t want her body, just to listen to her play a few tunes.”
“This… Well, alright, I will make the arrangements. It’s been so long, Yuelian should have e to terms with it by now,” the old madam said with a smile.
Then, the old madam turned to Long Aixi, “And this young master… Which lady would you like to choose? Look, Honghong and Taotao are so enamored with you, why don’t you pick these two?”
Long Aixi, however, was looking at Xia Dabao, “I came here with him, if we’re going to enjoy ourselves, naturally we all do it together. Either I’ll join him to watch the top courtesan sing, or he’ll join me to have fun with Honghong and Taotao.”
“This… Although most guests at our place enjoy separately, there are a few who enjoy together. Since the two young masters have such a hobby, then…” the old madam looked towards Xia Dabao, for it was usually the person with the most money who made the decisions.
Xia Dabao, looking at Long Aixi with a smug smile, said, “Then, I will begrudgingly take him to see the top courtesan!”
After the two went upstairs, the ladies behind them began to whisper amongst themselves, “How perverted!”
“Look at how those two were making eyes at each other just now, they must be involved.”
“Yuelian is one who sells her principle but not her chastity. Having had her chastity taken last night, now she has to face these two oddities, it’s really pitiful.”
“Pitiful or not, in our line of work, it’s only about serving well.”
“…”
Not long after Xia Dabao and Long Aixi reached the room, the old madam came in with Yuelian, who was holding a pipa, and attendants brought in wine and other drinks. Xia Dabao was very generous and gave the old madam a 20-wen tip.
Long Aixi smiled at Xia Dabao’s earnestness, finding it somewhat amusing. She seemed more professional than the average client, yet it was unclear where she had learned this from.
“Take your time, gentlemen, and if you need anything, just call us,” the old madam, having received the tip from Xia Dabao, had an even better attitude, almost ready to call Xia Dabao ’Daddy.’
“Good, you can leave now. I want to listen to Lady Yuelian play a few tunes,” Xia Dabao said, and then started pouring the drinks, casually pouring one for Long Aixi as well.
She was aware of her own limit with alcohol, so naturally she didn’t dare to drink excessively. However, she kept holding the cup, occasionally sipping a little, appearing very professional.
