I want to be innocent, but they don't allow me

Chapter 709 Silence.

Yujing Pavilion is not the largest brothel in the capital, but it has the most powerful background.

The attic has four floors, and the roof is exactly level with the palace wall.

If it was an inch higher, it would be beyond the rules, and ordinary businessmen would never dare to do this.

But Yujing Pavilion is an exception.

It is said that this place was built by the prince of the previous dynasty, and the cost of it was astronomical.

For a long time, this place was the playground of the prince of the previous dynasty.

The whole attic is in the shape of an octagonal diamond.

In the middle is a platform slightly higher than the second floor, where the oiran dancers perform.

There is a square table on the first floor, an octagonal table on the second floor, soft seats separated by screens on the third floor, and a relatively private room on the fourth floor.

Each layer represents a relative class.

It is said that this place was like this in the previous dynasty, and the owner who bought this place at the time was tempted by the opportunity and did not make any changes.

Unexpectedly, this arrangement became even more popular.

Many people are proud to enter the private room on the fourth floor.

The fat guard specially arranged for Ying Yu and the other two to go out for fun during this period.

Although Yin Huanping complained about them always going out at night, in fact, she cared more about it than anyone else.

The black gold token that Liu Mingyan gave to Ying Yu today.

In fact, the fat guard already had one in his hand.

During this period, the fat guard was in charge of all the arrangements for the three of them when they went out. It was obvious that he had the potential to be the eldest lady's special assistant.

In the private room in the corner of the top floor.

Ying Yu stood on the beauty couch with her delicate little feet bare, looking through the window in front of her at the singer dancing on the platform with displeasure.

"How dare the courtesan to offend the princess?"

Ying Yu pressed his hands on the window sill, until his knuckles turned white.

Back then in Lingyin Pavilion, the sixteen courtesans could choose whoever they wanted, but they didn't expect to hit a wall today.

In the corner, a fat guard named Niu Juanjuan sat with his legs crossed on a kneeling cushion.

In front of him was a two-meter-wide low table, filled with food and drinks, almost as much as on the main table.

Niu Juanjuan held the wine glass in one hand, and before she could swallow the wine in her mouth, she responded,

"Commander, this is the best place in the capital after all. It is different from our Yanshan."

"I heard from the servant just now that Madam Nichang will perform on the high stage later, and then she will auction off the chance for her solo performance tonight."

"Another auction?" Ying Yu widened his eyes and looked at the guard who was concentrating on eating.

During this period of time, the few of them often ate out in the capital.

But Niu Juanjuan refused to sit at the table no matter what, and indicated that she would just eat some food.

As a result, what she meant by "just eating" was that she ate the same amount of food as Ying Yu and three other people.

Niu Juanjuan took a sip of wine, made a comfortable sound, and then continued,

"Don't worry, Commander. I just inquired and the final price in the past few days is only three to five hundred taels. I will invite the person over later."

"How much, how much?"

Ying Yu's mouth opened into a "O" shape, and her big eyes were full of shock.

"Three, three or five hundred taels, what's wrong with that, Commander?"

Niu Juanjuan was a little confused. During this period of time, Ying Yu and the other two had to make arrangements in advance whenever they went out, and they didn't know how much money they had spent.

If they had not come to South City today and the decision had not been made suddenly, she would definitely not have allowed their leader to come to this private room in the corner.

At first, Niu Juanjuan was a little nervous when spending the money, but Yin Huanping opened her mouth and said that anything that could be settled with money would be a small matter.

As a result, Niu Juanjuan has become quite arrogant.

Many wealthy businessmen and gentry in the capital would address Niu Juanjuan as "Mrs. Niu" when they saw her.

Ying Yu looked at Niu Juanjuan's appearance, and thought of the black gold token in his arms that could be exchanged for one million taels, and felt that his performance was a bit timid.

Things are different now, her son has plenty of money.

Ying Yu stopped disturbing Niu Juanjuan from eating. He leaned on the window sill with his chin supported by his hands and said casually,

"It's great to have you, young master. During this time, we have visited all the Lefang restaurants that we didn't dare to go to back then."

“Looking at it now, I don’t find it that interesting.”

At the wine table, Lu Jianjia and Li Ling'er both sat very dignified.

Hearing this, they looked at each other, as if recalling the past.

Although the Prince of Yan's Mansion was not poor at that time, the Prince of Yan, who was originally a butcher, would not let Li Linger spend lavishly even if he became a king of a different surname.

Not to mention the education in the Prime Minister's Office.

Among the three, the richest is Ying Yu, who receives monthly allowance.

Lu Jianjia couldn't go to these more expensive restaurants because of her illness or because the cost was too high, and if she went there she would most likely be scolded by Mrs. Lu.

Li Ling'er seemed to realize something, she tilted her head to look at Lu Jianjia, pursed her lips and smiled,

"I'm sorry, Ling'er was always ignorant when she was little."

Li Ling'er remembers that she was like a country bumpkin at first, wanting to go everywhere she saw.

result.

When she was going to the crowded restaurant, Lu Jianjia would take her to the woods to hunt rabbits.

She wanted to go into the brothel to watch the beautiful sisters dance, so Lu Jianjia took him to catch fish by a stream in the mountains.

It's okay if it happens once or twice, but it's hard to fool if it happens too many times, so Li Ling'er often gets angry with Lu Jianjia.

She suddenly realized that every time Lu Jianjia suggested going to a place during this period, it was the place she had insisted on visiting when she was a child.

Many of them were just spur of the moment, and she herself can hardly remember them.

Unexpectedly, Lu Jianjia remembered everything.

Lu Jianjia pinched Li Linger's chubby face like she did when she was a child and said with a smile,

"After today, I have done everything I promised you. Don't get angry with your sister anymore."

When saying this, Lu Jianjia felt a little embarrassed.

Although Ying Yu acted silly, she was not stupid. She knew that the three of them had spent a lot of money from the mansion recently.

But she didn't feel guilty, she just wanted to owe Li Mu.

Maybe that bad guy, knowing that I spent so much of his money, would still think of me occasionally.

Even if you just jump up and down and curse the spendthrift woman, it's fine.

Li Linger squinted her eyes, and was as obedient as a kitten. She had a silly smile on her face, and her tone was slightly shy.

"Don't, don't say any more. Ling'er knows she's wrong. Ling'er, let me toast you, sister."

"Sister Xiaoyu?"

Ying Yu didn't look back, but picked up the wine glass beside him, shook it backwards, and then drank it all in one gulp.

Her eyes were always fixed on the dancing singers on the platform, never moving away.

Lu Jianjia clinked her glasses lightly and drank it as well.

If Li Ling'er depends on her, then she also depends on Ying Yu, her sister who is actually fourteen years older than her.

When I first met Ying Yu, she always hid herself behind a mask.

He only speaks using ventriloquism.

I didn't expect that it would be like this when we met again.

This kind of look of letting down all defenses was something she had never seen before.

She thought that Li Ling'er might be able to make Ying Yu open up to her and reveal her true self.

But I didn't expect that Li Mu could make Ying Yu treat everyone equally. After experiencing that kind of thing, this was almost impossible.

Li Ling'er looked at the two of them strangely, lowered her eyes to look at the wine glass, and drank it as well.

Obviously, among the four people in the room, only Niu Juanjuan was really happy to eat.

The other three girls each had their own thoughts, but they could no longer talk to each other like they did when they were children. Silence was actually the first thing that growing up taught them.
