The well-oiled man walked around the venue for a while and then quickly disappeared to the side.

I frowned, but before I could say anything to Bai Xuan, I heard a burst of music. And the maids gathered up the gauze curtains on the stage one by one. From behind the screen, a man in light green clothes came walking gently.

Young woman in gauze dress.

This one is probably the green-faced oiran.

As expected.

The moment this woman came on stage, there were many cheers and applause, occasionally mixed with shouts from men, who seemed to be looking forward to it.

I took out a piece of broken silver from my pocket and put it on the table with a "clack".

The next moment, the maid waiting at the side came over quickly:

"Master, may I ask if you have any orders?"

She looked no older than Daxiang, and her face was light and pink at the moment, looking pretty and cute.

Xiao Lian laughed wildly next to her: "Yu Xin, you are really good at using this blind trick. How come you were not discovered, and that neglected trick was destroyed by people's desire for money?"

Is it any wonder that money can make the devil turn around? I asked in a low voice: "How often does the green-faced girl dance?"

The maid chuckled softly: "Young Master must be a new guest. Our green-faced girl only performs once a month. You see, our red-sleeved house is full of guests, all just to see the green-faced girl's beauty!"

oh?

It can attract so many people once a month. Is this green girl's dance really so good?

When the maid heard my question, she smiled confidently:

"Young master is joking, the palm of the green-faced girl dances like a flying swallow, so small that no one can find anything wrong with it."

"If it weren't for her beautiful dancing, how could our building be so lively!"

The brittle voice of the little maid came, and I looked towards the stage, only to see that the green girl had a gauze on her face, which seemed not to be there at all, only revealing a pair of delicate eyebrows and an increasingly attractive red mole on her forehead.

Her eyes were moist and full of emotion, and when she looked at the audience, it seemed as if everyone was being held in their hearts, and she couldn't help but feel very happy.

The maid saw me staring at the stage without saying a word. She was silent for a while, and then asked softly: "Thank you for the reward, sir... but do you have any other instructions?"

Xiaolian pulled my sleeve, and the lantern moved on the table without leaving any trace. In addition, I was also curious, so I asked again: "Then if I want to ask the green-faced girl to talk, please

How to do it?”

The maid smiled slightly, as if she was used to answering this kind of questions. At this moment, she pointed at the flowers on both sides of the stage:

"Young master, you can buy flowers and reward them as much as you like. If you reward enough, the green-faced girl will come to express your gratitude in person. Then you can have a cup of tea and chat with the girl."

Okay!

This red-sleeved trick is really good at making money.

In a public place, asking these men who come to have fun to fight for rewards and two glasses of wine, how can they not be top-notch?

"Then..." I thought for a while and then asked: "What if I want to talk to the green-faced girl all night long?"

The maid chuckled softly: "Young master, you are joking. Our green-faced girl is so pretty that even gods will fall in love with her when she sees her. Why do you bother to do this, Liu Xiahui?"

"If you want to be our green-faced girl's one-night husband, you only need to pay a thousand taels of silver registration fee, and then ask the green-faced girl to choose for herself."

Thousand taels of silver!

I gasped.

After more than ten years of hard work, Mr. Qian managed to save just how much gold?

Nowadays, just having a night of love with an oiran requires you to pay this price, and you still have to be chosen...

I really don't understand the life of rich people.

"What if you can't choose?"

"Don't worry, sir," the maid poured me another cup of tea: "If we can't pick it up, we will refund the money in full."

As soon as the maid left, Xiao Lian and Lantern both shouted: "One thousand taels of silver is just for signing up? Is the boss of Hong Xiu Zhao crazy about money? Will anyone really be willing to give it up?"

"Why not."

According to what the maid said: If someone is selected tonight, the whole hall will have a roll call to let people know who it is. For them, their own face is more important than the sky, so what does a mere thousand taels of silver mean?

What's more, the boss of this red-sleeved tactic is quite skillful. He charges sky-high registration fees, but he will refund them if he is not selected.

Not to mention that those who are not short of money will not refund it at all. Even if the money is refunded, can they still take the money and walk away?

In the end, the money is still spent on the building.

There is only one oiran in this red-sleeved move, and that is the green face.

The remaining ones are all inferior in appearance, but the advantage is that there are many people, and they can always empty out the wealth.

I don't understand these.

Just listening to Bai Xuan's explanation as it was, Xiaolian and Lantern also started shouting.

But Xiao Lian was confused and said: "It is said that women in brothels are forced to have no choice, but I see that the green-faced girl on the stage is very popular, her eyebrows are affectionate, and she does not look sad." Bai Xuan sighed.

: "You still don't know enough."

I can roughly guess: "Her happy look must have been trained in the building. It's just..."

From what Bai Xuan meant, could there be something else hidden?

"It's not that simple." Bai Xuan sighed:

"From the day we bought the girls from the brothel, there was a special nurturing mother in the brothel who sorted them into different grades."

No matter which class they are in, the first thing they have to do is to laugh. Only when they have this loving look with their guests engraved into their bones can they be regarded as being able to meet people.

What's more, now that the green face is sought after by thousands of people and looks so glamorous, little do they know how short the life span of an oiran is?

"Even though she is still young, her patrons are tired of her. She can only stay fresh on stage for a year at most, and then there will be a new oiran in the building."

But when the courtesan loses her popularity, the swan falls into the mud, and the fairy falls into the human world, what they attract is not care and goodwill, but everyone wants to step on them.

She was demoted from an oiran to an ordinary concubine. How could she miss this opportunity now that she had been so sought after when she couldn't get it before?

And if at this time, I could have more money to flatter the mother in the building, I might be able to avoid some guests, live longer, and have an easier life.

Where does the money come from?

Naturally, he relied on the rewards from these patrons when he was now famous.

Generally, in order to maintain the courtesan's affectionate appearance, brothels will not easily confiscate the jewels and jade hairpin rings specially given by their benefactors.

This is why they are working so hard now.

I sighed secretly in my heart.

Probably because I was a woman, Bai Xuan failed to explain many of his words thoroughly and clearly, let alone the unspeakable tragic plight of those women.

But I have come along the way and now I understand in my heart.
