foxy charmer

At the end of the Qixi Festival, lights and festoons are decorated everywhere in the city. Looking down from the sky, the whole city of Hangzhou is brightly lit, like shining stars.Temple fairs, night markets, river lanterns, all of these are extremely lively, and the most eye-catching is Liuqingtang. It looks like a colorful fairy stone, with a corner protruding from the water, and it is so beautiful.

In such a mixed day, Liu Lian had to watch carefully on the third floor, and could not go back to rest until after closing time.

She stared at it in the middle of the night, but after midnight, there was no sign of desertion downstairs.The new songs and dances are one after another, and the wine in the cellar is one jar after another. The laughter of the wine order and the flirtatious flirting are intertwined. Although it is tiring, it makes people happy to watch.

This shows that the business of the Banxiu Building is booming. For the goddesses in the building, the Banxiu Building is not only a place for work, but also their home. Everyone hopes that this building will continue to improve forever.

The sound of wooden clogs sounded in the depths of the corridor. Liu Lian turned her head and saw Fei Yu in a red dress. white smoke.

In order to prevent any distinguished guests from coming to ask her to accompany her, Fei Yu dressed up today.

"It looks like the harvest was good tonight." Fei Yu stood beside Liu Lian, her red lips exhaled white smoke, then she turned her head and curled her lips at Liu Lian, "It's a good job, thank you for your hard work."

This smile belongs to Liao alone, and is only made for Liao.Realizing this, Li Lian felt a numbness and warmth from her tailbone, she shook her head, her lips curved slightly, "It's not hard work, my sister has worked hard."

The smile on Fei Yu's face became softer as a result.She looked at the bustling scene below, it was noisy and chaotic, but in her eyes, it looked like a piece of supreme jade, pure and flawless.

"It would be great if it could be so lively next year."

"As long as my sister is here, every day can be so lively." Liu Lian said, "There will be a fireworks show outside later, sister, do you want to see it?"

Fei Yu waved her hand, "I like watching here."

She doesn't like to look at the fleeting beauty, she hopes that the girls in her building can be pines and cypresses, don't need to be fancy, and just grow up in the bitter cold place.

Suliao had expected this answer, she didn't force it, but instead said, "There are some things that my sister will definitely like after reading it."

Fei Yu heard the words and glanced over.

Suliao took out a stack of letters from her bosom, "I also mailed them back this year, just arrived in the morning, and Zhi Ya and Pei Yu said that they will come back to visit my sister in the Mid-Autumn Festival this year."

The Banxiu Building has been in operation for 11 years, including the two buildings that were opened later. A total of 180 goddesses and [-] maids have been accepted. Most of the women leave after receiving customers within three to five years. In order to avoid rumors, most of them stay away. Hangzhou, going to other places, the mountains are long and the roads are far away, but the letters sent back every year never decrease.

There was a momentary daze on Fei Yu's face, she had experienced a long time, she had never lost her composure, she was as enchanting as a fox turned into a spirit, sophisticated in every way.Only at this time, the joy of not knowing what to do appeared in her expression. Although she was at a loss for only a moment, Fei Yu couldn't get rid of this gaffe when she received a letter every year-it came from instinct, she couldn't hide.

"It's not easy to walk." After a long time, she only choked out this sentence, and even forgot to hide the smile on her lips.

Fei Yu put the cigarette on the railing and leaned against the pillar to open the letter.

Li Lian doesn't know how Fei Yu was before, but she has been with Fei Yu for 15 years, and the Fei Yu she sees is always charming and lazy.However, at this time, even though she was wearing a red dress full of dust, even though she was surrounded by slutty scenes, she read the letter with her head down, like an ordinary mother.

There was a soft halo around her, brimming with half-comforted happiness.

Sulfur looked down, and sometimes she couldn't tell whether she was working hard for her sister's happiness, or because...she also liked this companion building.

No matter what it is for, she hopes that in the coming year, the year after, and every year in the future, this place can be as good as it is now.

Footsteps were heard from the stairs, Liu Lian turned her head, and was taken aback when she saw someone coming, "Boss Xu."

Fei Yu raised her head when she heard this, and the woman coming up from the stairs met her gaze. It was a woman older than Fei Yu, wearing a long skirt with chrysanthemum pattern on a white background, she approached and smiled at Fei Yu, " Come here rashly, Boss Fei, please excuse me."

"Welcome from far away." Fei Yu handed the letter to Li Lian, picked up the cigarette on the railing, "Liu Lian, prepare tea."

"Don't bother." Xu Jinhuai raised his hand, "I'm here this time to bring a message for Boss Fei, and I'll leave after I finish speaking."

"Why is the news so expensive that it's worth Boss Xu's visit?" Fei Yu asked.

Xu Jinhuai smiled. She was over forty years old, but she didn't look like thirty. When she was smiling at this time, only the two fine lines at the corners of her eyes showed signs of aging.This is a dignified woman, like the mistress of an aristocratic family. Based on her appearance alone, no one would have imagined that she is the largest businessman in Hangzhou City, holding a jewelry business and all the top flower houses at the same time.

"Boss Fei has been in Hangzhou for 11 years. It's not easy for women to do business, and it's even more difficult for prostitutes to do business."

As soon as she opened her mouth, Li Lian stepped in front of Fei Yu, and she lowered her voice, "Boss Xu, please be careful when you speak."

Fei Yu fended off Li Lian, "Boss Xu has something to say."

Xu Jinhuai didn't care about the anger on Liu Lian, and continued, "When you first came to Liuqingtang, I thought Boss Fei was an ambitious woman who wanted to establish her own family and become famous all over the world, and you seem to be so. A prostitute who has no backing or a lot of capital, yet opens three brothels one after another in a prosperous city where he is not familiar, and each one is so prosperous, such a thing has never happened in Hangzhou."

She took two steps forward, approached Fei Yu, and laughed, "Boss Fei, you are really enviable."

"Boss Xu is joking, these three of mine are just ordinary small shops, and their annual income is just a drop in the bucket compared to yours." Fei Yu said, "To you, I am nothing more than an ant."

"I don't take you seriously, but someone remembers you."

Xu Jinhuai turned sideways and looked at the luxurious and wealthy people in the hall. She seemed to be looking for something, and after searching for a while, she suddenly said, "Wuxi wealthy businessman Li Sheng wants to take you as his concubine."

Lian Li was stunned, and suddenly turned to look at Fei Yu.She didn't know anything about it.

"I did receive his offer last year, but I have already rejected it." Fei Yu swallowed a cigarette, "Did Boss Xu come to remind me that he is plotting something wrong?"

"Miss understand?"

"What he earned in Jiangsu was women's money. Now that he has grown bigger, he wants to share in Zhejiang's profits. However, in Hangzhou, the most prosperous city in Zhejiang, most of the flower houses are in the hands of Boss Xu, and they are like iron buckets up and down. Normally, it is difficult for outsiders to intervene." Fei Yu naturally understood what Li Sheng meant for her, "Looking at the whole of Hangzhou, I am the only one who has no background, is a woman, and has three brothels with decent assets. For him to break through the trade routes of Hangzhou."

She said to Xu Jinhuai, "Boss Xu is right. I am indeed a prostitute with no backing, but Fei Yu has been in Hangzhou for more than ten years, and there are still a few old lovers who can help. Not the first time, I know how to deal with it."

There are quite a few people who plan to be with Li Sheng, and Fei Yu meets a few of them every year, and she has long been experienced in dismissing them.

"Since the lady knows, why are there still people living on the fourth floor?"

Fei Yu's pupils shrunk slightly, and Li Lian shouted loudly one step ahead of her, "What does Boss Xu mean?"

"On such a busy day today, all the little maids in Banxiu Building are sleeping on the fourth floor?" Xu Jinhuai turned around and faced Fei Yu, "Boss Fei, as far as I know, there are 53 maids in your hands who are not as good as Ji now." People, but only 11 people were brought back after you bought the deed of sale. The remaining 42 people don’t seem to come from very legitimate sources.”

Fei Yu's hand holding the cigarette tightened, her finger bones turned bluish with force.

This is the biggest secret of Banxiulou, a secret that cannot see a glimmer of light.

"It's been 11 years, thank you for being able to hide it for so long. These eight or nine-year-old girls, you let them clean the attic during the day, and let them go back to sleep when someone comes at night. After fifteen, they will either become goddesses or Continue to be maids until they have saved enough money, then you will send them out of Zhejiang."

Xu Jinhuai looked at Fei Yu firmly, "Abducting other people's domestic slaves is a felony, if such a huge number is exposed, your old lovers will not be able to protect you."

Liu Lian protects Fei Yu, "It's just a few orphans adopted, boss Xu will take care of it?"

"The origins of this group of girls can be described as diverse. There are refugees who have lost their father and mother, beggars, and young prostitutes who are about to be sold. Some of them can't even find out the details. It ran out of the boss's hands."

Xu Jinhuai smiled and sighed, "The number of the latter is indeed small, but who knows. Because of the unknown origin, Li Sheng can of course bribe a few wealthy businessmen to pretend to be the owner, and sue you for abducting domestic slaves. It’s true that they can’t come up with their deeds of sale, let alone some of them are genuine slaves of other families.”

Fei Yu raised her eyes, "Boss Xu knows it all."

"In the past, only I knew, but now Li Sheng knows." Xu Jinhuai looked at Fei Yu inquiringly, "It's not easy for women to be in business, so you have to be careful. But Boss Fei is so bold that he knows the law and breaks it. I don't understand, but I found out after a recent investigation," she paused, "Boss Fei is originally from Wuxi."

Fei Yu let out a puff of smoke, "It's nothing unreasonable. I'm a prostitute, and my mother is also a prostitute."

The fingertips of her clinging to the smoke were icy blue and white.Fei Yu turned sideways, she didn't look at Xu Jinhuai, she got closer to Liu Lian, and also closer to the goddesses downstairs.

"When I was six years old, my mother sold me to a man as a young prostitute," she said. "He had to be a young girl. When I was 12 years old, I was sold to a brothel to continue to be a prostitute. I was in a brothel. After earning enough money, I came to this piece of Liuqingtang.”

Sulfur's breathing was stagnant.

This was the first time she heard Fei Yuming explain her life experience plainly.

No wonder she bought herself 15 years ago;

No wonder since the opening of Banxiulou, my sister always brings back young girls from outside;

No wonder she was so persistent in treating the women in the building as her daughters.

Tear off the red dress on Fei Yu's body, underneath her body are blood scabs that are redder and darker than the skirt, and spread all over her body, not an inch of her skin can be seen.

The six-year-old girl was sold to a man by her mother, and lived in the man's house for the next six years.Li Lian recalled when she asked Fei Yu——

"15 years old?"

"Why, I don't look like it?" She nodded as she said, "I shouldn't, I've been a woman for a long time."

She has been a woman for a long time, since she was six years old.

Xu Jinhuai walked towards Fei Yu, "I didn't come here on a special trip to expose Boss Fei's scars today, but I just wanted to make a deal with you. Time is tight, so I won't make any detours."

She said succinctly, "Ten ships have already parked behind Banxiulou, and the city gate is closed now, but I can help you send these girls out of Hangzhou immediately. In exchange, I want a third of Banxiulou's profits."

After hearing this, Fei Yu sighed for a moment and let out a wisp of smoke.

"Boss Xu is kind, but I'm afraid it's too late."

She turned sideways and saw a group of red-clothed policemen with knives breaking into the building and driving the crowd away.The gate was cleared to open an empty road, and for a moment, hearty laughter sounded from outside:

"Where is Fei Yu? I, Li Sheng, have come to propose marriage."

The author has something to say: I had an idea for this story in 18. At the end of 19, I bought a copy of Wang Shunu's "History of Chinese Prostitutes. Prostitutes" before I started writing.

The lives of some prostitutes are much more comfortable than we imagined, and some are much more miserable than we imagined.Let me take a look at two quotes from the book:

1. (Tang Dynasty) The descendants competed for the petite and exquisite young prostitutes.

2. Girls who have not been combed (underage) are called Mr. Xiao, and those who have lost their virginity without combing are called Mr. Jian.The old bustards are greedy for profit, so they use Mr. Jian as a little Mr. to sell again and again.

Fei Yu is an ordinary member, even a relatively lucky one. She was not sold again and again during the period from the age of 6 to 12, and she was "lucky" in a stable state.
