"I am Lady Six and welcome to Jiangxi casino's flower ceremony" The lady said smiling. She wore a half veil that covered half of her face leaving only her eyes visible.
"Lady Six" the rawdy crowd on the ground floor shouted loudly.
"you know how we have always done this gentlemnn. the first order of business is to pick the flower fairy for this month" Lady Six said smiling coyly and flexing her waist.
"ohhh lady Six is our everlasting flower Goddess" a man shouted from the front.
"hmm you flatter me Master Chi. you should know am saving myself for love" Lady Six said acting shy.
"Ahh" the crowd chorused
"I love you lady Six" a voice shouted.
"let's get down to business the Madam's are going to come out one after the other and show their talents while everyone votes" Lady Six said.
"Yesssss" the crowd chorused
"Good starting with last months flower fairy Madam Jiao" Lady Six said and a beauty dressed in purple danced out of the behind the curtain in Front of the stage.
"We shall began gentlemen, a servant will go around after every performance and collect your flowers all dressed similar to the madams. You are to place a flower while indicating your price in the basket of whatever basket you like. the highest bidder books the madam for the month" Lady Six said smiling after which the she left the stage and the Madam's began to perform.
Back at Zhongshan Shuang private room.
"Who is that ? Zhongshan Huang asked
"Eh Elder brother do you like her" Zhongshan Shuang said jokenly. This cousin of his was very difficult to read, he has known him for many years but he could never tell who his cousin liked. Zhongshan Huang had always been very loyal to Great Wei everything he did was beneficial to Wei Empire. He was never selfish, even in matters of the heart. This was why Zhongshan Huang was the only person that was worthy of being the Emperor. As expected his cousin didn't bother to reply him.
"am only kidding. Elder brother Huang shouldn't take it to heart" Zhongshan Shuang said.
"Father Emperor is looking for a volunteer that will help lead the group to provide food and medicine to the villages that were plagued by flood why don't I recommend you to lead the group since you have a lot of free time in your hands. I think it's a good idea making you the co lead of the group. Conferred Princess Yan has already volunteered to do so and father Emperor has agreed.The both of you are basically engaged this will be a good way for the both of you to cultivate a relationship that isn't bickering at euch other" Zhongshan Huang said in low tones finally turning and looking at Zhongshan Shuang with a smile.
As soon as Zhongshan Shuang saw Zhongshan Huang's smile he could already tell that he was done for. Zhongshan Huang wasn't known as 'The Smiling Dragon' for nothing. He had better start packing his bags.
"This is Lady Six. No one has ever seen her face but she is rumored to be a beauty. She is the main Female Host of the casino but unlike the others she doesn't attend to guests and is off limits" Zhongshan Shuang said.
"mmn" Zhongshan Huang replied raising his cup of wine to his lips.
"Yes, No one has ever seen the owner of the Jiangxi casino not even the staff. everyone receives orders from Madam Z the proprietress of the casino" Zhongshan Shuang continued.
""and this flower ceremony, what does it entail. Lei Yongliang said finally asking the question that was in everyone's mind except for Zhongshan Huang who had already been informed of the event by the Lu family.
"The flower ceremony is an event that occurs every month. It is a ceremony to pick the flower fairy for the month but that is just a cover for the secret that occurs much later. In order to participate in the auction you have to buy a ticket and thanks to Elder brother Huang I bought a ticket for everyone" Zhongshan Shuang said happily.
"You wouldn't even be able to afford to maintain a private room in this casino if it were left to me" Zhongshan Huang said.
"Ai yo Elder brother Huang can't I have a hobby" Zhongshan Shuang replied.
"Having entails that there is something useful to life that you do other than spending your days in brothels and gambling houses" Zhongshan Huang said once again coursioning his cousin. His imperial mother and father were already worried about him
"But I am doing something to help the people of great Wei" Zhongshan Shuang replied. Zhongshan Huang waited to hear what His cousin would say next. He was expecting something that would at least leave him a little convinced that His cousin was worth saving when he heard Zhongshan Shuang next statement
"I am distributing the Imperial funds to the working class"
"Prostitutes and Gamblers are not members of the working class" Zhang Shirong replied angrily.
"Oh I don't lose my money to Gamblers or spend them on prostitutes" Zhongshan Shuang said.
"Really then where do you spend your money" Zhang Shirong replied with a frown he had never liked Zhongshan Shuang.
"I don't need to explain myself to you, young master Zhang. Those that should know already knows" Zhongshan Shuang said finally looking right at Zhang Shirong. He was already aware that Zhang Shirong didn't like him and luckily the feeling was mutual. Zhongshan Shuang had never liked self righteous people, he always found them pretentious.
"The results are in and this month flower fairy is Madam Bai and she has been booked by Master Lan for the month" Lady Six announced draw everyone attentions back to the stage and putting an end to the conversation.
Madam Bai accepted the flowers and sat next to Master Lan at his table and the rest of the madam walked back and sat at the tables of their usual customers.
"Unlike the usual I have a treat for you all today I have decided to pick my life partner" Lady Six announced.
