The world of film and television starts from the flow of money

The woman walked down slowly, her figure like a willow swaying in the wind. The maid who was in charge of receiving Yi Huawei and Yu Shu hurried forward, bowed slightly, leaned close to the woman's ear, and exchanged a few words in a low voice. The maid nodded slightly, then retreated to the side respectfully, stood with her hands hanging down, and her eyes were always on the ground.

A faint fragrance quietly drifted away, like a thread, lingering in the air as if it was there and not there.

The woman moved lightly with lotus steps, and in a moment she was in front of Yi Huawei and Yu Shu. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, with a smile on her face. That smile was just right, showing both intimacy and charm. Her eyes were like a pool of autumn water, with a hint of curiosity in the shimmering light. She slowly swept her eyes from bottom to top, carefully examining Yi Huawei and Yu Shu from head to toe. Her red lips parted slightly, and her voice was like the soft singing of a nightingale, stirring the heartstrings:

"Sir, you look unfamiliar. You came quite early?"

Yi Huawei raised his head slightly and took a sip of the elegant fragrance, which made him feel happy and the smile on his lips became even stronger. He looked directly into the woman's eyes with a playful and appreciative look: "It's better to come at the right time than to come early. I don't think it's too early to come and squat in the morning to see such a beauty."

The woman couldn't help but chuckle when she heard it, her laughter was clear and pleasant, like the sound of a silver bell. She stretched out her hand, her fingers were slender and white like jade, and her slight swaying aroused people's reverie, as if there was an invisible magic that made people want to hold it. Her almond eyes turned slightly, her eyes swept over Yu Shu, her smile became even stronger, and she asked back:
"Pfft~, the guest is really good at talking. I wonder what the guest is doing here with his wife?"

"Haha, young lady, you have good eyesight!" Yi Huawei laughed loudly, looking calm: "Have you ever seen someone bring his wife to have fun together? May I ask your name, young lady?"

When Yu Shu heard this, her face turned red. She looked at Yi Huawei with a reproachful look, then reached out and pinched Yi Huawei's waist hard.

"Haha~, really not." The woman covered her mouth and chuckled again, her movements were gentle and graceful, showing her charm. She bowed slightly and said softly, "Just call me Yu Shu."

"Yu Shu? Haha, what a good name!"

Yi Huawei's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a slightly strange smile, and he looked at Yu Shu thoughtfully, as if he had sensed some subtle connection in this name. Then, he turned his gaze back to Yu Shu and continued, "Miss Yu Shu, we are new here and don't know much about this Chuxiang Pavilion. Could you introduce it to us?"

Yu Shu nodded slightly, raised her arm slightly, and made a gesture of invitation: "Sir, please come this way. Let me tell you slowly."

After saying that, she took the lead and walked forward. Yi Huawei and Yu Shu looked at each other, then followed her.

Yushu led the two through the hall and slowly walked along a corridor. On both sides of the corridor were hung exquisite paintings. As he walked, Yushu introduced: "This Chuxiang Pavilion is where the city's dignitaries and scholars gather. There are many private rooms in the pavilion, with different decorations, some quiet and elegant, some magnificent, where guests can rest, taste tea, and enjoy music."

We walked to a courtyard with a small pavilion in the middle, with a stone table and stone benches in it.

Yu Shu walked into the pavilion, motioned Yi Huawei and Yu Shu to sit down, and then continued: "We also have musicians and dancers here. The musicians are proficient in various instruments, and the dancers' dancing is even more graceful."

Yi Huawei smiled slightly and said, "Are these musicians and dancers all raised in the museum?"

Yu Shu smiled softly: "Some were taken in by the owner since they were young and carefully trained, while others came here later because of their reputation and voluntarily stayed in the academy."

Yu Shu had been silent all this time, but now she couldn't help but ask:
"Then do the women here only sell their skills and not their bodies?"

Yu Shu glanced at him with a hint of surprise in her eyes, but she quickly returned to normal: "Most women are indeed like this. They rely on their talents to gain a foothold in the academy. However, there are some exceptions, but that is when both parties are in love and follow the rules of the academy."

A waiter came over with a tea tray, placed three cups of fragrant tea on the stone table, and then left.

Yi Huawei stretched out his hand, gently grasped the teacup with his slender fingers, leaned forward slightly, and blew gently at the teacup. The slowly overflowing breath made the tea in the cup ripple slightly. Then he took a sip. Yi Huawei narrowed his eyes slightly, as if savoring the taste. After a moment, he said, "This tea is not bad. It seems that your Chuxiang Pavilion is quite particular in all aspects."

Yu Shu had been smiling, quietly watching Yi Huawei's actions. When she heard his praise, her smile became even wider: "Excuse me, sir. This tea was specially found by the owner of the restaurant, so it is naturally of high quality."

After a pause, Yu Shu continued, "Since this is your first time visiting our Chuxiang Pavilion, you must experience the special features of our pavilion."

After saying this, Yu Shu clapped his hands lightly.

Soon, several dancers came in gracefully. They were wearing colorful yet elegant dance costumes made of thin materials, which fluttered gently with their steps, as if colorful clouds were flowing. The leading dancer had a beautiful face, eyebrows like distant black, bright and spirited eyes, a straight nose, and cherry lips. Her hair was tied into an exquisite bun, with several hairpins inlaid with gems, which sparkled charmingly under the lights. The other dancers also had their own styles, some were gentle and soft, and some were smart and playful.

Behind the dancer, several female musicians slowly came over, holding their respective instruments.

The musicians were all dressed in plain robes and had elegant temperaments. One of the musicians played the zither and gently placed it on the zither stand beside the stone table. He sat in a dignified posture, adjusted the strings, and gently plucked it. The clear sound of the zither instantly echoed in the pavilion.

There was also a musician playing the flute, holding a bamboo flute, the body of which was emerald green and transparent, as if it was carved from a whole piece of jade. He put the flute to his lips and tried to play a few notes. The melodious sound of the flute was like the chirping of birds in the forest, clear and melodious.

The dancers came to the center of the pavilion, bowed slightly, and then began to dance.

The dancing posture is graceful and light, and the movements are smooth and natural. The leading dancer waved her long sleeves and danced lightly, sometimes spinning and sometimes jumping, and every movement was just right. The other dancers surrounded her, either echoing each other or dancing in a staggered manner.

The fingers of the musician danced quickly on the strings, playing beautiful melodies like flowing clouds and water. The sound of the piano was sometimes soothing, like a trickle; sometimes passionate, like a rushing river. The sound of the flute and the piano blended with each other, adding more agility and joy to the dance.

Yi Huawei said no more. His eyes were attracted by the dancers' dancing. He tilted his head slightly, and his eyes followed the dancers' bodies.

Yu Shu watched from the side, feeling a sour feeling in her heart, like a small stone thrown into a calm heart lake, causing ripples. She bit her lower lip lightly, a trace of anger flashed in her eyes, and she couldn't help but reach out from under the table, and gently pinched a small handful of the fabric around Yi Huawei's waist with her fingers, pinching it with three parts of annoyance and seven parts of shyness.

"Haha~"

Yi Huawei smiled softly at this sudden little action. He turned his head and looked at Yu Shu, who was pouting slightly and whose eyes were full of shyness and dissatisfaction. Without saying a word, he stretched out his arm and gently pulled Yu Shu. Yu Shu's body involuntarily fell towards him and fell steadily into his arms.

Yu Shu's face instantly turned red, all the way to her ears. Her eyes were wide open, full of panic and shyness, and her eyes wandered around in panic, not daring to look Yi Huawei in the face. She subconsciously put her hands on Yi Huawei's chest, trying to push him away, but she had no strength. The hairpin on her head was knocked off, and fell to the ground with a "ding" sound. Her black satin-like hair spread out and fell on her shoulders like a waterfall. The dancers who were dancing saw this scene, and were stunned at first, and then they realized. It turned out to be a man dressed as a woman...

Yu Shu struggled a few more times, her cheeks burning and her heart beating like a drum. But Yi Huawei did not let go, he lowered his head slightly, put his lips gently close to Yu Shu's ear, his warm breath brushed past her ear, and whispered a few words.

After hearing this, Yu Shu's panic calmed down a little. Then she thought that no one here knew her anyway, so she slowly relaxed and let Yi Huawei go.

Quietly nestling in Yi Huawei's arms, her eyes still had a hint of shyness, but more of a different kind of sweetness. From time to time, Yi Huawei would pick up the fruit on the table, bring it to his lips, take a bite, and then pass the fruit to Yu Shu's lips.

Yu Shu narrowed her eyes slightly, with a hint of shyness, gently opened her mouth, and took a small bite of the fruit. The fresh flesh spread the sweet juice between her lips and teeth, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose slightly.

The music became more passionate. Yi Huawei's hand gently rested on Yu Shu's waist, and his fingers tapped lightly to the rhythm of the music.

Yu Shu could feel every subtle movement of Yi Huawei. Her body was slightly stiff, but she didn't want to destroy this rare warm atmosphere. She occasionally looked at the stage, watching the graceful dance of the dancers, and gently twisted her body in Yi Huawei's arms, wanting to see more clearly.

After a while, a maid came hurriedly. Her steps were quick but she tried to keep them light. She walked to Yushu's side, bent down slightly, and whispered a few words in Yushu's ear.

Yu Shu's smiling face changed slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. But he quickly regained his composure, slowly stood up, and bowed slightly to Yi Huawei, with a hint of apology on his face: "Sir, I'm really sorry, there are some matters in the museum that need my attention, I apologize first, and I will leave for a while."

After saying this, she quickly followed the maid out of the courtyard.

Yu Shu walked up the carved wooden staircase of Chuxiang Pavilion and slowly climbed up to the third floor. When he came to a door, he gently raised his hand, grasped the bronze door handle, slowly opened the door and walked in.

Inside the house, several candles flickered and illuminated the entire room. Several elegant ink paintings hung on the walls, adding a touch of bookishness to the room. In the center of the room stood a carved sandalwood table, on which stood exquisite tea sets.

Yi Xiaochuan stood in front of the window, his figure seemed a little lonely in the bright light, his black robe fluttering gently in the wind. His hair was casually tied behind his head, with a few strands of hair falling on both sides of his cheeks, making his face look even more stern.

Looking at Yi Xiaochuan, Yu Shu's eyes instantly flashed with an excitement that was difficult to conceal. She moved lightly with lotus steps and bowed gracefully: "This servant greets you, sir!"

"Long time no see! ...You are late."

Yi Xiaochuan's voice was cold, low, and a little hoarse, as if it had been polished by sandpaper. He turned slowly, and his cold eyes looked directly at Yu Shu.

"I didn't know you were coming. Please forgive me. Two interesting guests just came outside. It's interesting that he brought his wife with him."

Yu Shu seemed to have long been accustomed to Yi Xiaochuan's tone of voice, and did not care about Yi Xiaochuan's cold attitude. She walked to the low couch on the side of the room. She bent her legs and knelt down, reached out to pick up the teapot on the table, and gently lifted it. The golden tea poured out like silk and fell into the cup. Holding the teacup with both hands, her face lost some of the charm she had in front of others, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

"Here with his wife? Who is she?"

Yi Xiaochuan raised his head slightly, raised his eyebrows slightly, and showed a little surprise on his face. Bringing his wife to visit a brothel? This is really a rare thing.

"I don't know. The only thing I can be sure of is that he is definitely not from Tuan County. He is dressed very simply, just ordinary coarse cloth, but his temperament is different from others. He doesn't speak in a domineering way like those nobles, nor does he speak with a sharp edge like those martial artists. He has an ordinary appearance, nothing special about him, and is about thirty years old. However, he is very rich, and he spends money in gold coins without any hesitation."

Yu Shu paused for a moment, then continued, "However, although his wife is dressed as a woman, I can see that she is also stunningly beautiful, probably not inferior to me. ... The strange thing is that I have never seen her before, but I feel that she looks familiar."

"oh?!"

Yi Xiaochuan was a little surprised, but he only raised his eyes briefly and soon returned to his indifferent expression. Whether a woman is beautiful or not is no longer important to him now, it is just a passing cloud.

After a moment of silence, he raised his head again, looked at Yu Shu and asked, "Has there been any abnormality in Prince Tuan's Mansion recently?"

"No, King Tuan has not been back in the past few years. There are only a few old servants maintaining the mansion, and everything seems very peaceful."

Yu Shu shook his head slightly, and suddenly seemed to remember something important, and said:

"But it seems that an army came to Tuan County today? I was just looking for a chance to ask Magistrate Li."

"An army is coming?"

Yi Xiaochuan's brows, which were already slightly furrowed, were now tightly knitted together, and his eyes revealed a hint of uneasiness. After pondering for a moment, he said in a serious tone: "Go and find out why an army came here for no reason?"

"I was just thinking about it. Isn't the young master here?" Yu Shu smiled softly, with a hint of coquettishness in her smile, and her eyes seemed to be full of amorous feelings. "The young master has finally come here. Do you want me to ask someone to serve you?"

"No…"

Yi Xiaochuan shook his head without hesitation. He walked to the table, reached out to pick up a cup of tea, brought it to his mouth, drank it all, then placed the cup heavily on the table, making a crisp sound.
