20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 54 Chuanerhong

When it comes to Fengtian Fengyuechang, let’s take a look at the list and rank it. “Huifangli” on Siping Street must be at the top!

Not to mention how charming the girls there are, but just talking about the decoration of the store, three-story buildings are connected along the edge, which occupies half of the street. Every time it falls, the place is decorated with red and colorful lights, and it is very lively.The sky is dark and the singing and dancing never stops.

When I walked in, I saw people who were reciting poems and writing poems, bragging and heckling, punching and drinking, and being frivolous. They all had three kinds of teachings and nine kinds of writings. Who cares who you are?As long as you have enough money in your pocket, even a beggar can make the final decision.

The shopkeeper of "Huifangli" is named Xu Ruqing.

When it comes to Xu Ruqing, not much is known about her, but when it comes to her nickname - "Cuan'er Hong" - the juniors in the street, no matter how capable they are, have to call her "Sister Hong".

The origin of this nickname is related to Xu Ruqing's business.

"Chuan'erhong" is a kind of herbaceous plant. As the name suggests, it is bright red all over and has more than ten flowers per plant. At first glance, it looks like a bunch of whips. It is the most rare thing for half-year-old children. Pluck off the red flowers, gather them into a small handful, and pop them into your mouth—it’s so sweet!
The prostitutes use this metaphor to say that the girls under Xu Ruqing are not only numerous and handsome, but also all of them are sweeter than honey.

Shopkeeper Xu is in his early thirties, with willow-leaf eyebrows, red-and-phoenix eyes, affectionate manners, and graceful appearance.

Even though she is a woman, she has a huge capacity for drinking. She drank down three or five men without blushing or gasping for breath.

In this business, the shopkeeper has to be very versatile. No matter what the identity of the visitor is, Xu Ruqing will always give him all the respect he deserves.

However, guests should not just follow the pole and dig into their noses and faces. She would never tolerate it if they got drunk, acted like a fool, or even had lustful thoughts towards Xu Ruqing.

I once heard that a prostitute tried to seduce her, but Xu Ruqing refused.

The prostitute then scolded: "What the hell are you pretending to be! Whoever's madam has never sold anything before, I'm going to order you today. Do you know who I am? Everyone has to give in to me, how dare you not agree?"

Don't tell me, Xu Ruqing is really brave!
Call someone on the spot to drive the prostitute out.

It is said that after the prostitute was kicked out, he stood at the door and cursed the street all night long. His words were as vulgar as they could be, and he said a lot of harsh words.Everyone has long forgotten what he was talking about. Anyway, there is no follow-up.

Later, after a friend reminded her that Chuan'erhong was the third sister of Hai Lao Owl, the prostitute never showed up in Fengtian again.

People who knew a little bit about the world laughed at him and said, "I'm afraid that I would be so virtuous if I brought 'Owl' out. Wouldn't it scare me if I told him that 'Chuan'erhong' is Zhou Yunfu's goddaughter?"

Not bad!

How could "Huifangli" be so prosperous without a backer?

If you only think of Xu Ruqing as an old madam who twists and shakes her hips, you must be blinded by her coquettish look!
Xu Ruqing is not only the third sister of "Hai Lao Owl", but also one of the "Four Liangs" under Fengtian Zhou Yunfu. She is called Jiang Cheng Haiyi Ge, which means she knows how to behave.In fact, the two are evenly matched. The second oldest, Li Tianwei, is older, so he has to call her "Sister Hong" as usual.

However, a woman in her thirties who only knew how to open a brothel would not be put to such great use by the old man.

Although Xu Ruqing is the shopkeeper of "Huifangli", she is not from a kiln sister. In fact, she is also a good player in the Eight Dark Sects.

Among the four gates of "Bee Ma Yanque", the gate with the word "bee" and the gate with the word "swallow", she has long been playing with proficiency.

A few years ago, Xu Ruqing often followed Jiang Chenghai and traveled around the world. Not only did he earn a lot of rice for Zhou Yunfu, but he also formed a life-and-death friendship with Jiang Chenghai.

On weekdays, at night when the lights are on, Xu Ruqing will sit firmly in the lobby, busy with everything, for fear of neglecting any guest.

But today, she opened a private room on the third floor early and prepared a table of wine and food. No matter who came to call her, she would not give face.

The guests downstairs were also puzzled and muttered: "What happened to Sister Hong today? Is she sick? Who provoked her?"

The big teapot then leaned over and said with a smile: "Mr. Wei, please bear with me. This is not to blame you, but because the 'Owl' returns to Fengtian today. We, the shopkeeper, have been waiting all day."

When the guest heard this, he didn't dare to ask for a gift, and said hurriedly: "I understand, I understand, they have a deep relationship as brothers and sisters. Bring me a jug of good wine and bring it to me later. It will be a blessing for Brother Jiang." "Mr. Wei is too polite. Come on, come on, please come this way!”

Pick up a guest and see off a gentleman.

"Huifangli" is full of people coming and going, the girls are singing little songs, the men are bragging, and the laughter is endless.

Until the first watch of the day, a gust of wind suddenly blew at the door.

Everyone in the lobby seemed to have been immobilized, and there was silence for an instant.

The men and women looked sideways, and saw six men standing at the door, leading a half-year-old child.

The leader, who looked to be in his fifties, had strong arms and some gray braids, was standing there with his sleeves wrapped up, smiling silly.

"Everyone! Have fun!"

After finishing speaking, there was a "boom", and all the men present stood up and clasped their fists, shouting almost in unison: "Brother Hai, thank you for your hard work!"

"Thank you for your hard work!" Jiang Chenghai still had a simple and honest smile, "You guys are having fun while our brothers go upstairs to see my third sister."

After he finished speaking, the lively atmosphere returned to the lobby.

Jiang Xiaodao, who was standing aside, had never seen this battle before. He had only heard that his father was somewhat famous in the world, but seeing it was worse than hearing it. The sight before him really calmed him down.

Seeing the surprised look on his face, Guan Wei couldn't help but leaned down and said in his ear: "Xiaodao, you didn't expect that your father is so cute!"

Jiang Xiaodao nodded blankly, he really didn't expect it!

"Let's go upstairs!" Guan Wei pushed Xiaodao's shoulder and reminded, "When you meet, remember to call me aunt!"

"Auntie?" Jiang Xiaodao asked doubtfully, "Isn't it third sister? How do you call me auntie?"

Guan Wei smiled and said: "Third sister, I got the argument from others, so you have to be called aunt. You have a sweet mouth. Your aunt has a lot of money!"

"How about I give her a piece of treasure?"

"Stop showing off! Go upstairs quickly!"

Everyone followed Jiang Chenghai and climbed up the stairs to a private room on the third floor.

Without waiting for the knock on the door, Xu Ruqing opened the door from the inside, with a rare and sincere smile on her face, one that was both happy and slightly worried.

"Brother, you're back! Come in quickly, the food is still hot!" Xu Ruqing hugged Jiang Chenghai's arm, "If you are later, the wine sent by the guests will turn this room into a wine cellar! "

Jiang Xiaodao followed and squeezed into the room. This time he was obedient and did not wait for his father to introduce him. When he saw the person, he immediately approached Xu Ruqing and saluted with a smile.

"Auntie!"
