20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 126 He Chun
Fengtian, Xiaoxiguan.

"Ling Chun'er! Ling Chun'er!"

It has been three or two months since "Huifangli" moved to a new store.

The street of Xiaoxiguan Street is not as spacious as Siping Street, but with the government offices taking the lead, there are many shops and regulated prostitution houses, and people gather here. In terms of liveliness, it is not much less popular.

Today's "Huifangli" has been transformed. It is no longer the wooden house of the past, but has become an authentic new Western-style building. It is three stories high, with white brick walls and exquisite reliefs. On the roof of the house, There is a glass chandelier hanging. When turned on at night, it blooms like fireworks, illuminating the room brightly.

It is indeed beautiful, but if you look up on the street, your appearance is indeed not as impressive as before.

Many people don't believe it, but in fact, the most important thing in the prostitution business is the appearance, and the girls come second.

They are all girls from the kiln. The girl sitting in the library may not be any more beautiful than the half-opened door in the ten rooms.

The so-called music, chess, calligraphy and painting are mostly just the same, and there is not much of a gap between them.The most important thing to be a kiln girl is to be able to chat. No matter how many books you read, you may not have this ability.

Remember, any good man, as long as the girl is not particularly poor, can be set on fire with just a few pulls.

Therefore, the most important thing in the brothel business is the decoration and atmosphere.

"Ling Chun'er! Ling Chun'er!"

The big teapot Fulong has called it several times.

"Oh, hurry up, I'll be late soon, Master Chang will have to scold me again!"

"Come on, come on! Why are you urging me!"

There was a sound of footsteps on the stairs. Zhao Lingchun quickly came downstairs while putting on his earrings.

The little girl was wearing a dark green jacket and a white fox fur scarf wrapped around her neck. This was given to her by Xu Ruqing, the shopkeeper, last year as a reward for calling Wang Yanzong in time to rescue Jiang Chenghai.

However, since Wang Yanzong was dismissed and investigated, he has never come to see Zhao Lingchun again. I don't know if he has a new love or because he has lost his position and feels shameless to come to her again.

But business is business, and Zhao Lingchun can't stop accepting customers just because Wang Yanzong doesn't come.

It is a common thing for sisters to change jobs.

In the past month, Zhao Lingchun has been spotted by Master Chang from the antique shop again, so of course he has to be the main attraction.

When she walked to the door, Xu Ruqing came over, helped her straighten her clothes, and said softly: "Ling Chun'er, that young master Chang has a bad temper, and he can fall out of favor faster than turning over a book. When you are with him, be careful what you say. point!"

"Sister Hong, don't worry!" Zhao Lingchun said nonchalantly, "It's not the first time I've gone back. I've already beaten him to death!"

"Silly girl, what's the use of just talking? You have to let him spend money for you!"

"You can only catch big fish by putting a long line, and you can't let the lion open its mouth as soon as it comes up. Sister Hong, this is what you taught me."

Compared with before, the relationship between the two was much closer.

At first, when Xu Ruqing saw Zhao Lingchun for the first time, he was more optimistic about this little girl just because she could read. However, after the crisis in "Woyun Tower" last year, he began to pay special attention to her.

"Okay, let's go!"

Xu Ruqing walked her to the carriage at the door and said, "Remember, if you are bullied, just call Fulong. Our carriage will stop at the door."

"Know it!"

Zhao Lingchun pouted, got into the carriage, then lifted the door curtain, waved his hand and said, "Sister Hong, I'm leaving!"

"Shopkeeper, it's cold outside, please go back."

The big teapot Fulong picked up his whip, shouted at Xu Ruqingzhi, and immediately drove the carriage to the southwest.

Xu Ruqing stood at the door. After just a few glances, she heard other guests calling her, so she had to turn around and go into the house to entertain them.

It's not that "Chuan'erhong" is sentimental, but that "Huifangli" has recently started to take on the business of "calling bureaus".

In the past, the brothels in Fengtian only had two businesses: serving dishes and spending the night. "Calling a bureau" was a new trick brought by Nanbang brothels, which meant sending girls out to play cards, drink, and listen to operas with the wealthy young men.This kind of business is also dangerous. What if you meet someone who is stunned and abducts the girl?
There is no way, now "Huifangli" is not as good as before. If you want to continue to gain a foothold in Fengtian, there is no other way but to keep pace with the times.

Xu Ruqing was also helpless. When there was no one around, she couldn't help but sigh.

"Alas! In this world, everything is changing!"

……

……

About two-quarters of an hour later, a series of crisp sounds of horse hooves could be heard at the back door of Master Chang's foreign house.

"Call-"

The big teapot Fulong got out of the car, lifted the curtain, helped Zhao Lingchun out of the carriage, and whispered: "Lingchun'er, my car is parked here. If you need anything, just call me."

"I know, I know, Sister Hong has said it several times."

When Zhao Lingchun spoke, white puffs of breath appeared in front of his face - it was almost winter.

Then, Fulong walked up the steps to the back door, and just as he was about to call someone, the old woman in the yard walked out first.

"Miss Zhao is here? I just said you heard some noise! ​​Come in quickly, Master Chang and the others have been waiting for a long time."

The old woman tried her best to show a warm attitude, but Zhao Lingchun had seen her inadvertent cold eyes more than once, so he didn't give her any good looks and just walked towards the yard.

Zhao Lingchun had been here three or two times and was already familiar with the layout of Changzhai. He walked through the small garden and walked straight to the east wing.

"Master Chang, it's me, Ling Chun'er!"

"Oh, come in!" came the echo from the house.

Zhao Lingchun frowned slightly. For some reason, Master Chang's voice sounded a bit dull and unpleasant today.

Could it be that the eye was opened when receiving the goods?
The Chang family's business is selling antiques. There are many ways to buy and sell this kind of business, which tests knowledge and vision, but in the final analysis, it is still close to gambling.

If you want to learn to pick up mistakes, you have to be tricked a few times first.

Even Master Chang himself would not dare to say that he would never hit someone in the eyes, let alone an ignorant and ignorant playboy like Young Master Chang?

If a guest is in a bad mood, he must be careful in his words and actions.

Zhao Lingchun stood at the door, pondered for a while, then put on that fake smile and pushed open the door.

Two people were sitting in the room, with a small square table covered with felt cloth in the middle.

He was thin and looked like a sickly man, so of course he was Master Chang. The man opposite him was about fifty years old, with a horizontal mustache on his upper lip and gray eyes. He didn't know who he was.

Zhao Lingchun also knew several close friends of Master Chang, but this person was very unfamiliar to him now.

As a kiln girl, how could she be afraid of strangers? She still smiled and said without changing her expression: "Ah! I thought it was three missing one, but it turned out to be Pai Gow! I'm not very good at this, Master Chang, please wait. You’ll have to teach me a lesson later.”

Unexpectedly, Master Chang, uncharacteristically, did not answer any questions at all. He just stood up in a panic, walked to the door with twinkling eyes, pointed randomly into the room, and said: "Lingchun'er, you... you go and accompany me." My second brother is going to play for a while!”

Zhao Lingchun didn't know why, but Master Chang's panicked look made her feel nervous.

Her instinct told her to run!

However, just as she was about to turn around, Master Chang grabbed her shoulders, pushed her into the room, and quickly locked the door from the outside.

Zhao Lingchun stood up in a hurry, looked at the calm one-character mustache on the table, and asked tremblingly: "Master, you... what are you going to do? I, I am from 'Huifangli', don't act like this!"

The Yi Zi Hu raised his eyes and whispered a casual sentence, which made Zhao Lingchun feel like he was struck by five thunders!
"He Chun, sit down and play with me for a while."

　Thanks to Dakang Wang and Xing Yan Shen Xing for their rewards and support!
　　The boss is generous and considerate!
