Marriage of the Di Daughter

Chapter 95: Qiong Zhi

Jiang Li and Tong'er, the two people walked into Xi Hua Lou.

Bai Xue was simple and honest. Whenever Jiang Li called her to do something, she would immediately do it with no question asked. However, Tong'er felt that doing this was somewhat inappropriate and had a suspicion that everything was just her dreaming. Think about it, how could her miss visit a brothel? It's more understandable if the one she was serving was a young master.

 Just as they stepped inside the beautiful brothel's door, a smiling woman in the prime of youth welcomed them. She said: "Is Miss looking for someone?"

A superbly familiar look, to speak of, Xi Hua Lou's boss could be considered as rather clever. The men entering from the front door were greeted by amorous and flirtatious women with alluring clothes. While the women welcoming the visitors at the back door had on proper clothes, appearing very much from a "good family".

This was natural, the males coming from the main entrance seeked pleasure, naturally had to be enticed to the maximum. And the person welcoming the visitor from the back door was specially there to welcome those females coming to catch a couple in the act. If they were dressed too charmingly, they would provoke the anger of the legitimate madams.

Tong'er opened her eyes wide, saw that this woman was not licentious like a brothel's woman and couldn't help having doubts in her heart. She thought Jiang Li said just now that this place was the brothel only to deceive her when it was actually just a decent restaurant.

As Tong'er was sizing the woman up and down, the woman was also sizing them up. With a glance, she could tell that Jiang Li was the master. However, she didn't understand, Jiang Li clearly looked like an unmarried young lady, so why did this lady come to look for someone today? Could she be looking for her fiance?

But this kind of thing was a common occurrence to the people of Xi Hua Lou.

Jiang Li smilingly said: "I'm looking for Miss Qiong Zhi."

The expression on the face of the greeter changed slightly. She paused for a moment before politely showing a smile and said: "Miss, in our Xi Hua Lou, the flower girls do not see female guests."

Hearing that Jiang Li looked for Qiong Zhi by name, she thought that Jiang Li was looking for trouble because her fiance visited Qiong Zhi. So naturally she had to obstruct.

Jiang Li smiled, fished out a banknote from her sleeve, and let Bai Xue stuffed it into the woman's palm. She said: "Don't worry, I'm not coming here to look for trouble. I just have some matters to ask Miss Qiong Zhi. I will not cause problems for you, just facilitate this for me, is it okay?"

The woman looked at the banknote's amount in her hand and her heart couldn't help jumping. Even those many male benefactors who came to play were not as generous to the woman welcoming guests at the front as this young lady. She took another look at Jiang Li's delicate features and gentle speech, the most important thing was there was no disdain in her eyes. Her last sentence carried the meaning of asking, clearly respecting her very much.

The woman was somewhat emotional. Doing this kind of job undoubtedly had no dignity. She was stationed at the back door to receive those madams who came "looking for trouble". The madam inherently detested them bitterly, so although they were dressed very much like someone from a "good family", they still could not erase the loathing of those madams towards them. Those madams would say unpleasant words at every turn and they no longer knew what dignity was.

At this time, this pampered young lady seemed to be treating her like an ordinary person and the woman could not say a word of refusal. Just as she was about to reject her, she saw that Jiang Li was generous in giving, and the idea immediately vanished.
