Chapter 45: Check Tianxiang Tower
Lin Luoling and Biyou looked at the painted curtain together.
Hualian answered readily, "Miss, don't you remember? Isn't this the street next to Tianxiang Tower? Three years ago, on the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Miss went to Dangui Haitangzhai to buy her favorite osmanthus cake for her wife.
At that time, a child was running around holding a candied haws and was almost hit by our carriage. The lady was afraid that the child would be frightened, so she got off the carriage and comforted the child for a long time, and bought a candy man for the child on the street.
As she spoke, Hualian pointed at the painting on the table and said, "Miss, look at this child, isn't he holding a candied haws in one hand and a candy man in the other?
The painter just didn't draw us and the carriage, but drew almost everything else."
So, three years ago, when she went to buy osmanthus cake for her mother, this scene was seen by Prince An?
What was the meaning of Prince An giving her such a painting?
Lin Luoling waved to Biyou, indicating Biyou to go down first. She pinched her brows and stared at the painting on the table, lost in thought.
Upon seeing this, Hualian tactfully withdrew and did not disturb them any further.
After a long time, Lin Luoling closed his eyes and thought about what happened that day three years ago several times, but still had no clue.
She tapped the table with her fingers and her eyes fell on the painting. Tianxiang Tower was located right in the center of the T-junction.
That day, she went to Dangui Haitangzhai to buy osmanthus cake for her mother. She bypassed Tianxianglou and bought the cake from the southern streets.
The distance between Dangui Haitang Zhai and Tianxiang Tower is less than ten feet.
She has always wondered why such a delicious pastry shop like "Dangui Haitangzhai" was opened on the street next to Tianxianglou?
Correct!
Why?
Lin Luoling's eyes suddenly lit up, and she ordered Hualian to send someone to harness the carriage. She also called Biyou and Bizhi to go with her, saying that she was going to "Dangui Haitangzhai" to buy osmanthus cake.
Hualian was a quick and nimble person, and by the time Lin Luoling arrived at the gate of the Lin Mansion, the carriage was already ready.
"Dan Gui Hai Tang Zhai" is quite far from the Lin residence. This time, Lin Luo Ling deliberately did not let the coachman take a detour. When passing by Tian Xiang Lou, she deliberately opened the side curtain of the carriage a little.
The first time she looked at Tianxiang Tower seriously, Lin Luoling was startled for a moment.
The three-story building is a magnificent building with jade and red pavilions. The glazed tiles on the roof are like a layer of Milky Way, shining with bright light. At a glance, all the restaurants and teahouses on the whole street have lost all their color in comparison with this three-story building.
There was a golden plaque hanging above the first floor door, with three large characters written on it: Tianxiang Tower.
This brothel is no different from any other.
In normal brothels and theaters, there would be a few older prostitutes with some good looks standing at the door to solicit customers.
This is also the case even in broad daylight. As the sky gradually darkens and the red lights come on, more prostitutes come out to greet customers.
However, Lin Luoling saw two burly men standing on both sides of the gate of Tianxiang Tower. They were wearing dark grey brocade robes, with an air of inviolability flowing between their brows, and they had upright postures and looked majestic and awe-inspiring.
How does this look like a brothel?
Lin Luoling thought so!
Before he could think about it, the carriage had already stopped in front of the "Dan Gui Hai Tang Zhai".
With the help of Hualian, Lin Luoling got off the carriage and entered the "Dangui Haitang Zhai".
The shopkeeper of 'Dan Gui Hai Tang Zhai' came up to greet her and said with a smile, "Miss Lin hasn't been here for a while."
The shopkeeper of "Dangui Haitangzhai" is a woman in her early thirties. Her husband's surname is Chen, so everyone calls her Chen Sao. Therefore, her name seems to have been completely forgotten.
Lin Luoling nodded and said, "Mrs. Chen, make me some osmanthus cake."
"Okay!" Mrs. Chen was a hot-tempered person. She threw the clean cloth in her hand over her shoulder, took out a dozen pieces of osmanthus cake and placed them neatly on the oil paper.
"Is this enough to eat?" Mrs. Chen looked up and asked.
Lin Luoling took a look and said deliberately: "Make it a whole!"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chen smiled happily and took out a few more pieces of osmanthus cake and placed them on the oil paper.
Lin Luoling pretended to chat casually and said, "I remember that Mrs. Chen's store has been open for four or five years, right?"
As Mrs. Chen wrapped the osmanthus cake, she said, "Of course! It's been almost five years."
“Before Tianxianglou was not here, it was convenient for me to come here. Now I have to take a detour every time I come here. Doesn’t Mrs. Chen plan to change the place of business?
Your sweet-scented osmanthus cake is very delicious. You are located on the south side of Tianxiang Tower. I guess because of your reputation, fewer ladies and ladies come to buy sweet-scented osmanthus cake, right?" Lin Luoling asked.
Mrs. Chen tied the osmanthus cake with a hemp rope and replied with a smile: "Miss Lin, you don't know that the madam of Tianxianglou saved my life, and it was me who suggested that she open Tianxianglou here.
In the past, when I made osmanthus cakes, there would be some left over every day. But now it’s different. The girls in Tianxianglou all love to eat them. They ask me to deliver a hundred or eighty of them every day to feed them.
Haha... those girls love to eat it, and the guests who come and go will inevitably have a taste of it. After coming out of Tianxianglou, many customers will come to my shop to buy some osmanthus cake to take home.
Every day before midnight, I make as many osmanthus cakes as I can and sell them. Some customers can’t afford them and have to make reservations.”
Could it be that Prince An gave her the painting because he knew about the relationship between Chen Sao and the madam of Tianxiang Tower? He deliberately lured her in to find out the truth?
Lin Luoling said, "I see." He gave Hualian a look, indicating that she should pay.
Then, Lin Luoling smiled and said, "In the past two years, the courtesan of Tianxiang Tower has become very famous. Even though I am a woman who lives in seclusion in the boudoir, I can hear people talking about her when I go out occasionally. They say that she is both talented and beautiful."
Mrs. Chen smiled and said, "Miss Lin is right. The courtesan of Tianxiang Tower is named Fengying. She is a maid that the madam of Tianxiang Tower has carefully trained for many years. Fengying has been pretty since she was a child."
Just as Lin Luoling was about to ask more questions, the door of the shop was pushed open, and a man dressed as a servant came in and said, "Mrs. Chen, I'm here to pick up the osmanthus cake I ordered last night."
After that, customers came one after another to buy osmanthus cake. Lin Luoling could no longer talk to Mrs. Chen, so she had to say goodbye and leave.
After getting on the carriage, Lin Luoling looked at Tianxiang Tower again along the side curtain of the carriage. It happened that a window on the third floor was half open, and a woman in a pink dress could be seen vaguely, who seemed to be looking down in the direction of their carriage.
As they were quite far away, Lin Luoling could not see the woman's face clearly. As the carriage moved slowly, Lin Luoling withdrew his gaze, took out the painting from his sleeve pocket, and looked at it carefully again, thinking:
The madam of Tianxiang Tower was Chen Sao's savior. From Chen Sao's words, she learned that Chen Sao and the madam had known each other for many years and had even seen Fengying when she was young.
Therefore, if one wants to investigate the secrets of Tianxianglou's madam and Fengying, Mrs. Chen is a breakthrough.
There was just one thing that Lin Luoling couldn't understand. Since Mrs. Chen had seen Fengying when she was young, how could she not know that Fengying was a boy?
Lin Luoling pinched her brows. She felt that Prince An must know what was going on. Why did he draw a picture and let her guess? Wouldn't it be better to just tell her the truth directly?
"Ah..."
Prince An rubbed his suddenly itchy nose, pinched a piece of paper, put it on the red candle and lit it, and laughed: "This girl is really interesting. She has fallen into the thorns of Yongning Marquis's Mansion, but she still has the mind to remind me to be careful of Liu Bo."
"Hehe..." Feng Ying, who was wearing a pink dress with a tulle cover, smiled with her eyes slightly raised, "The interesting person that His Royal Highness Prince An mentioned is actually checking my subordinates!"
Feng Ying, who looked like a fairy, spoke in a masculine voice.
