I saw my brother reaching out his hand to me. Without hesitation, I grabbed it. My brother led me on a trot and we ended up in front of a small, sumptuously decorated building. I noticed that the men going in and out of the entrance were either drunk or wearing looks of great satisfaction. I thought it was just an ordinary tavern, but I soon found I was wrong once I stepped inside.
As soon as I entered, I saw that in the hall, every man sitting at the tables had a beautiful woman in his arms. Soft whispers and charming laughter filled the air.
I couldn't help but tug at my brother fearfully and then asked, "What place is this? Why does the atmosphere feel so strange?"
My brother looked calm. "It's okay. I'll ask someone to get a private room later. Then you won't find it strange."
Just as he was speaking, a foppish young servant stepped forward politely and said, "Young sirs, this is not a place for you."
My brother casually took out a silver ingot and said, "With this, we can come anytime, right?"
At this moment, a rather plump woman sashayed over. Covering her mouth with a silk scarf, she gave us a coquettish smile. "Oh, these two young sirs are so handsome. You must be brothers. I'm Su Yanran. How can I serve you two?"
Su Yanran? When I heard this name, the first thing that came to mind was the plaque "Yanran Pavilion" I saw before entering...
Hearing this, my brother immediately bowed with a smile. "So it's Mama Su. I've long heard of your great name. It's really a pleasure to meet you today. You're as charming as ever."
When I heard this, I almost choked. My brother's ass - kissing skills were still as good as ever.
Mama Su was extremely happy. Her face beamed with joy as she said, "Xin Liu, hurry up and lead these two young sirs to a private room upstairs."
The young servant from before quickly forced a smile. "This way, please!"
This made me even more curious about what kind of place this was.
The private room Mama Su took us to was very nice. As soon as we sat down, someone brought a pot of "Xia Sha Ren Xiang" tea. Mama Su took out a picture album from somewhere and handed it to my brother, smiling. "Young sir, these are the best girls in our place. Take a look."
Seeing this, I couldn't help but lean over, but my brother pushed my head away. "What are you looking at? Go drink your tea and cool off..."
I was instantly speechless. What was this all about? Why was he being so secretive about a picture album?
Seeing this, Mama Su quickly stepped forward to console me. "Young sir, you don't have to look at the picture album. It's better to see the girls in person later..."
"Okay, okay..." I replied casually. I couldn't hold it in and sneezed because of the strong fragrance on her. "Achoo!" Mama Su immediately took a step back, looking embarrassed. My brother glanced at us and immediately said, "Mama Su, I'll choose her..."
Seeing this, Mama Su immediately returned to my brother's side, putting on a smiling face. "Oh, this young sir has really good taste. Although Bixia is not as passionate as Hongqin, her waist is extremely supple. She dances very beautifully. I'll go call her for you right away!"
My brother quickly nodded with a smile and waved for her to leave.
Mama Su left with a smile.
As soon as the door closed, my brother leaned over and asked me, "What's wrong, Xi He? Do you find Mama Su's scent unpleasant?"
I rubbed my nose and shook my head. "You know, I don't like such strong perfume."
My brother laughed and then said, "Later, I'll let you see what a charming and boneless dance is like."
Finally, I had the chance to ask my question. "Brother, what kind of place is this exactly?"
My brother said disdainfully, "It's a brothel."
My heart skipped a beat. "What?"
My brother said again, "It's a brothel."
I went crazy on the spot. I grabbed my brother and shook him wildly. "What did you say! You bastard! How could you bring me here!"
A brothel was something I had only read about in books. I never thought I would actually come to one. I thought brothels were full of countless vulgar women standing in front to solicit customers, and once you entered, the madam would grab you and show you a group of half - naked women to choose from. But here, it was completely different. The entrance was beautifully decorated, there were no disorderly women, and it was quite clean. Although the madam's perfume was too strong, she was still polite. And most importantly, the customers chose the women using a picture album! I suddenly felt that the books had really deceived me!
After being shaken by me for a while, my brother held me down and made a soothing gesture. "Calm down. A brothel and a whorehouse are different. There's a difference in class."
But just as he finished saying this, the door was suddenly slammed open by a man, which immediately made us feel that this place was different.
The man staggered in. When he saw my brother and me, he walked unsteadily towards us and said, "Hey, Mama Su actually hid two beauties here without telling me..."
My brother and I were both stunned. The man walked straight towards my brother, lifted his chin with one hand and said, "Such a beauty. It's Yanran's fault that I couldn't get close to you earlier."
After saying that, he leaned in to kiss him. My brother's face turned all sorts of colors. He kicked the man in the knee, pulled me back two steps. After making sure I was safe, he rushed forward and punched the man violently.
Seeing this, I quickly stopped him and said to my brother, "Don't cause trouble here. Let me handle it!"
My brother was stunned for a second, then he saw me step forward and stomp on the man who had already fallen to the ground. He couldn't help but cheer.
Just then, Mama Su appeared with the girls. Seeing my wild side, she immediately exclaimed, "Oh, my little ancestor. Why did you beat up Young Master Liu..." Then she stepped forward to pull me. The Young Master Liu's face distorted. He said to Mama Su, "Mama, you'd better explain this to me. You hid two little beauties and let them beat me. What's going on!"
Hearing this, Mama Su turned pale with fright. "Oh, Young Master Liu. These two are our guests. Don't get it wrong!"
The young master was slowly helped up by Mama Su. Hearing this, he got even angrier. "I don't care about guests or boys. Anyone who beats me won't get away. Someone! Catch these two and strip them naked!"
When my brother and I heard the word "strip", our faces turned pale instantly. Taking advantage of the fact that his assistants hadn't come in yet, we immediately ran towards the door. Mama Su shouted, "Oh, come back! Come back! You haven't paid for the tea yet!"
My brother and I didn't care about that at all. We pushed aside the people blocking our way and ran, not caring if there were a group of servants with red faces, swords, and clubs shouting and chasing after us.
Well, as my brother and I were being chased through the streets by a group of servants, I had to admit that this Young Master Liu was really something. He even brought so many servants with him when he came to the brothel. He must be from a wealthy family...
"Xi He, hurry up. Run that way. Let's find our carriage and go back to the palace!"
I said, "But the guards may not be there. If those people find out our identities, won't it be even more troublesome?"
"What should we do then?" My brother was out of breath from running while pulling me.
"I don't know either..." Just as I was speaking, I suddenly bumped into someone in front of me. The person was startled when he saw me and shouted, "Xi He!"
