"This kind of story has been performed on TV many times, Lin Wanrong said disdainfully: "Young master, to be honest with you, I despise these courtesans the most. They call themselves 'flower queens', but in fact, they are just pretending to be something they're not. What's a flower queen, what's a grass queen? The green building is just a place for us men to have fun, if you don't sell your body, you'll just put on a pretty face and try to deceive people, treating us men like fools! Just looking at that face is enough, it's better to go home and appreciate a good painting of a beauty instead, what's the point of spending money on this?"

  "Oh, oh, Lin San, may I ask, what is meant by 'acting cool'?"

  "Putting on airs is like... to put it simply, something that's clearly meant for people to sleep in, but instead has some courtesan pretending to be high-class and saying things like 'I sell my art, not my body', this is what's called putting on airs."

  "It makes sense, it makes sense." Young Master Lin suddenly felt a sense of camaraderie: "Lin San, I didn't expect you to be so sentimental. How is it that you used to frequent brothels?"

  "No, no." Lin Wanrong hastily humbled himself and said: "It's just that I've heard so many stories about these courtesans who sell their art but not their bodies, and I've become a bit numb to it. I was thinking, when you enter the brothel, shouldn't you be selling your body? Otherwise, what's the point of being in a brothel? And then there are those young masters who pretend to appreciate the courtesans' talents, but behind their backs, they're actually quite different. We men all know this clearly. Only Master Biao, you are pure and natural, a true jade from heaven, that is what it means to be a truly talented and outstanding person."

  Young Master's eyes gleamed with gold, and he tightly grasped Lin Wanrong's hand, saying: "Lin San, your words have truly struck a chord in my heart. This is twenty taels of silver, it's Young Master rewarding you. Tonight, follow me and enjoy yourself thoroughly."

  "Thank you, Master Xie." Lin Wanrong put the silver into his hand, with a look of "gratitude" on his face. With a few words, twenty taels of silver were added to his account, and he was overjoyed.

  "Lin San, since you're so capable, can you help me with another small favor?" Seeing Lin Wan Rong receive the silver, the young master's face lit up like a flower, and he spoke in a flattering tone.

  "But there is a young master's order, Lin San will not disobey." Lin Wanrong said with a proud tone, considering the face of the silver.

  "Lin San, is there any way to let me get closer to this courtesan?" asked the young master with a hint of shyness, but his question was quite direct.

  "This, this, young master, aren't you afraid that the second and third misses will have opinions?" Lin Wanrong's forehead was sweating coldly. This taboos young master really had a kind of audacity, to actually make such a request.

  Young Master sighed and said, "This is just like the two dishes on the table. One dish tastes great but can't be eaten at all, while the other dish doesn't taste bad and still has hope of being eaten. Lin San, if you were me, which one would you choose?"

  "It goes without saying that we should eat the dish that can be eaten first." Lin Wanrong said, suppressing her smile. Although this young master was a bit foolish, this metaphor did make some sense.

  "That's right, that's the principle. First eat what can be eaten, then slowly plot those that cannot be eaten, and finally turn what cannot be eaten into something that can be eaten." Upon hearing Lin Wanrong agreeing with him, Young Master immediately became excited, but inadvertently exposed his wolfish ambitions.

  It's really true that the bigger the person, the more land they have, this young master may be a bit of a bumpkin, but who would have thought he had such grand ambitions, it's really making Lin Wanrong admire his thick skin.

  "What's wrong, aren't you going to agree?" Young Master Tai hastily pulled out another twenty taels of silver and placed them in Lin Wanrong's hand, anxiously saying.

  "It's not that I don't want to agree, but, young master, you're overestimating me, Lin San. I haven't even seen the appearance of that courtesan, nor do I know her name, so how can I be of any help?"

  "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Lin San, you are clever and resourceful, you will definitely have a way. That courtesan is called Qin Xian'er, she is as beautiful as a national treasure, unparalleled in beauty, you'll know when you see her. I don't have any other requests, as long as that courtesan Miss Qin can glance at me a few more times, and chat with me for a bit, I will be satisfied."

  As soon as he mentioned Huakui Qin, Young Master seemed a bit dazed, as if he had recalled Miss Qin's beautiful appearance.

  Lin Wanrong said strangely: "Is this Qin Huakui even more beautiful than Eldest Miss?"

  "No, no." Young Master hastily said: "Just like I just said, one can only be looked at and the other can be eaten. Which one would you want first?"

  This young master really thought he was something, seeing his infatuated look, Lin Wanrong secretly smiled and put the 40 taels of silver ticket in her pocket, saying: "Then I'll think of a way to let Miss Qin take a good look at Young Master and have a few more words with him."

  Lin Wanrong agreed, and Master Xiao was overjoyed. He had a hunch that with this housekeeper's outstanding performance, Qin Xiaojie would definitely look at him in a different light.

  Qinhuai River, also known as Huai Water in ancient times. It is said that during the Qin Shi Huang period, a canal was dug through Fangshan Mountain to divert Huai Water, which runs across the city of Jinling, hence the name Qinhuai River.

  After Xiang Yu established the Great Chu Dynasty, it lasted for thousands of years and continued to thrive until now. With the development of economy and culture, the Qinhuai River area became even more prosperous than usual.

  Ten miles of Qinhuai River, both banks are inhabited by noble families, literati and scholars gather, it is indeed a paradise for book lovers.

  The scenery of Qinhuai River is most famous for its lantern boats. At night, the boats on the river are all decorated with colorful lanterns, and people who come to visit Qinhuai River must take a lantern boat ride.

  Lin Wanrong stood by the Qinhuai River, with a thousand emotions. The Qinhuai River in front of him was crowded with wealthy merchants, lined with green buildings, painted boats floating on the water, and had become a beautiful place in Jiangnan. Ancient ruins, gardens, painted boats, and streets were all gathered together, exceptionally prosperous.

  "Master, where is this Miaoyu Fang you mentioned?" This was Lin Wanrong's first time strolling through the brothels in this world, so it was only natural that he would act a bit like an "inexperienced young master". How could he possibly steal the spotlight from Master?

  As expected, Master Guo Wuchang was extremely pleased with a wave of his hand, pointing to a distant building and saying: "Look, isn't it just there?"

  Following the direction of Master Shao's pointing hand, a magnificent building stood in the distance, with four floors high, colorful flags fluttering, lanterns hanging high, shining brightly, and grandly. Before even approaching, one could hear the men's laughter and the girls' giggles.

  Guo Wuchang seemed to be a regular here and didn't need Lin Wanrong to lead the way, so he strode past him and rushed straight to the entrance of Miaoyu's courtyard.

  "Master Guo, you've finally arrived." The enthusiastic madam, twisting her plump figure, approached Master Lin with a loud laugh and said, her charming eyes almost making Lin Wanrong spit out his food.

  The mama-sans of this era are far different from those of her time. Compared to the pleasure quarters she had experienced, Lin Wanrong thought that the mama-sans in this Myo Yu Fang were of a higher class, with more refined features and figures. However, in this era, it's already impressive for a brothel of such scale and popularity to exist on the banks of Qinhuai River, making it one of the best among its kind.

  Guo Wuchang also unscrupulously reached out and patted the old prostitute's buttocks, saying: "Sister Han, you must have thought of me to death."

  "Hey, my Guo Gongzi, how come you haven't come to see your sister for such a long time?" Hua Sister replied with a smile.
