Husband, Be A Gentleman

Chapter 26

Chapter Twenty-Six

Pei Jin and Yan Shi Ning stood in front of Fu Qing's three entrances.

Fu Qing was separated into three terraces and each terrace had three floors.

'Why does Fu Qing have more than one entrance?' Yan Shi Ning asked. 'Which entrance do we walk through?'

'Wife, which entrance do you want to walk through?' Pei Jin asked.

Yan Shi Ning heard lively songs and the sounds of instruments from the left terrace. 'I want to walk through the left entrance.'

'Wife, it's not suitable for you to walk through the left entrance,' Pei Jin said.

'Why?' Yan Shi Ning asked.

Pei Jin whispered something in Yan Shi Ning's ear and she blushed. 'That kind of place exists?'

Pei Jin nodded his head innocently like he heard that place existed but never been inside.

'What about the middle entrance?' Yan Shi Ning asked.

'It's where proper food is served,' Pei Jin said.

Yan Shi Ning looked at the right door and she smiled playfully. 'Then there must be handsome food behind the right entrance.'

Pei Jin had a strange feeling.

Indeed Pei Jin followed Yan Shi Ning through the right entrance. He silently asked the heavens to not let him meet anyone that knew him. If people found out gentle ninth prince visited those kind of places, he feared everyone would be shocked enough for their chins to fall.

'I'm here to play with handsome beauties,' Yan Shi Ning said.

A man dressed in black clothes embroidered with flowers greeted Yan Shi Ning and Pei Jin then the man escorted them to the stairs.

Yan Shi Ning was happy to be surrounded by beauties. The beauties were all young men who had pink lips, white teeth and were friendly.

Pei Jin pinched Yan Shi Ning's waist. 'Have you leered enough?'

Yan Shi Ning glared at Pei Jin, pulled out a fan and she waved it in front of her face. 'Of course I haven't.'

Yan Shi Ning looked at her surroundings and she noticed most of the guests walked to the second floor. So she walked to the second floor too.

A man who greeted guests on the second floor thought Yan Shi Ning was a regular guest by the way Yan Shi Ning confidently walked to the second floor.

'Master, are you looking for someone familiar?' the man asked.

Yan Shi Ning thought the handsome man looked about thirty years old who had a soothing voice.

'Someone familiar?' Yan Shi Ning asked.

The man saw Yan Shi Ning looked confusedly at Pei Jin. He realised they were new guests and assumed Pei Jin was the guest who carried a heavy pouch.

Pei Jin draped an arm over Yan Shi Ning's shoulder.

'No need, take us to a free room,' Pei Jin said.

A guest interrupted them and passed the man a paper note worth fifty silver taels. 'Gentleman Chen, tonight I want Yue Feng to serve me.'

Gentleman Chen accepted the paper note and gave the guest Yue Feng's plaque.

Yan Shi Ning saw the guest and Gentleman Chen's exchange and she understood what someone familiar meant.

Yan Shi Ning took out one of the ten paper notes worth one hundred silver taels that she exchanged earlier at a pawn shop and gave it to Gentleman Chen. 'I... we... Gentleman Chen make arrangements for us.'
