Jiang Li, Bai Xue and Tong'er walked into Xihua Tower.
Bai Xue was honest, and she did whatever Jiang Li asked her to do, without asking right or wrong. Tong'er felt that this was a bit inappropriate, and suspected that all this was just a dream. Think about it, how could your own girl go to a brothel? If she was serving a young master, it would make sense.
Just as they walked to the gate of the courtyard, a young lady with a smile on her face came up to me and said, "Miss, are you looking for someone?"
She looked very familiar. Speaking of which, the owner of Xihua Tower was quite creative. The men who came in from the front door and the women who greeted them were all charming and dressed in sexy clothes. However, the women who greeted them at the back door were dressed properly and looked very ‘good families’.
This was natural. The men who came from the front door were here to have fun, so of course they had to be extremely seductive. The people who greeted them at the back door were specifically for those women who came to catch rape. If they were dressed too seductively, it would make the original wife angry.
Tong'er widened her eyes and saw that the woman was not as unrestrained as the women in the brothel. She couldn't help but wonder in her heart, thinking that Jiang Li had deliberately lied to her when she said this place was a brothel, and this was just a decent restaurant.
While Tong'er was looking at the woman, the woman was also looking at them. She could tell at a glance that Jiang Li was the master, but she just didn't understand why Jiang Li, who looked like an unmarried girl, came to look for someone today? Could it be that she was looking for her fiancé?
However, people in Xihua Tower were already used to this kind of thing.
Jiang Li smiled and said, "I want to find Miss Qiongzhi."
The welcoming woman's face changed slightly, paused, and smiled politely, saying, "Miss, in our Xihua Tower, the flower card girls don't see female guests."
She saw that Jiang Li specifically asked for Qiongzhi, and thought that Jiang Li came to Qiongzhi because of her fiancé, so she naturally had to stop her.
Jiang Li smiled, took out a silver note from her sleeve, and asked Bai Xue to put it in the woman's palm. She said, "Don't worry, I'm not here to cause trouble, I have something to ask Miss Qiongzhi. It won't cause you any trouble, so please give me a favour, okay?"
The woman looked at the amount on the banknote in her hand, and her heart was beating wildly. Even the woman who greeted guests at the front door, and many of the male guests who came to play were not as generous as this lady. Jiang Li looked at her beautiful face and gentle words. Most importantly, there was no contempt in her eyes. The last sentence was inquiring, which clearly showed that she respected her very much.
The woman felt a little sentimental. There was no dignity in this line of work. She received those women who came to ‘make trouble’ at the back door. The women hated them. Even if they were dressed very ‘good’, they could not erase the disgust of those women. They said ugly words at every turn, and they had long forgotten what dignity was.
At this moment, this pampered lady seemed to treat her like an ordinary person. The woman could not say no. Even if she wanted to refuse, it would disappear immediately because of Jiang Li's generosity.
She smiled and said, "Please wait for a moment, young lady. I'll go see if there are any guests in Qiongzhi now. If there are..."
"No problem," Jiang Li smiled, "If there are, I'll wait for her here. I'll go in when she's free."
The woman was stunned, thinking that this young lady was very unusual. She didn't delay and poured a cup of tea for Jiang Li, and went inside to ask people.
