The dusk is getting darker, the new moon is rising, and a new round of fragrant night has begun in Shanghai's Shili Fengyue Field.
In the area of Baoshan Street, there is an exquisite and extraordinary three-story pavilion near the water called Yinxiang Building.
It is a famous teahouse with good business.
To put it bluntly, it is actually a combination of a teahouse and a brothel.
Sanxin Trading Company is the backstage of this brothel.
At that time, if a brothel wanted to have a foothold, it had to find a powerful backer in Shanghai.
Only in this way could it open and do business smoothly, and no one would dare to cause trouble.
Tonight, it was Jian Maosheng who was entertaining guests for dinner at Yinxiang House.
Jian Maosheng, a government official from Tangtang, actually chose to hold a banquet in such a public and sensitive occasion.
It was already incredible, let alone Bai's family was invited.
Mrs.
Bai looked embarrassed, and Mrs.
Jian maintained a bitter look from beginning to end.
Jian Yi also rarely remained silent.
Before Hua Ting could figure out the situation, Jian Maosheng was really taken aback by the words he spoke.
I choked on the white wine in my glass.
"At the beginning of next month, I will marry Nan Xiangyu."
The reason is that Nan Xiangyu is pregnant with the flesh and blood of their Jian family.
Hua Ting looked at Jian Yi subconsciously.
The boy's expression seemed to have known for a long time.
Nan Xiangyu is the star of this seal building.
She was sold into a brothel when she was only five years old.
Because of her good looks, she was carefully cultivated by the madam, hoping to one day become a money tree.
And Nan Xiangyu lived up to her expectations.
When she debuted at the age of twelve, even though she was just a housekeeper who only accompanied customers to "have tea", she still made more money than many prostitutes who sold meat.
When she was fifteen years old, she officially accepted clients, and the first high-profile client spent thousands of gold on her.
Over the years since then, she has been the most popular waitress in Yinxiang House, making the "tea house" a lot of money.
And this year, Nan Xiangyu is only 21 years old.
She is even more mature than Hua Ting, and Jian Maosheng actually said that he wants to marry her.
Hua Ting knows that in the Republic of China, the heyday of prostitutes was generally between the ages of fourteen and nineteen.
Only those who are young enough can bear the life of a prostitute who dances and sings every night.
After the age of twenty, things start to go downhill day by day.
Nan Xiangyu began to think about planning a way out for herself.
The career of a prostitute was only as good as Liu Meihuayan's years.
Once she gets old and loses her beauty and no one cares about her, the result will be very tragic.
She wants to find a lifelong destination for herself before that, and that person is Jian Maosheng.
When Nan Xiangyu took small and elegant steps and sat down on the empty seat specially reserved by Jian Maosheng, Hua Ting really felt that she was watching a common life drama.
But Mrs.
Jian's usual arrogance has completely disappeared today.
Since the eldest wife of the Jian family has not expressed any opinions, the Bai family is too lazy to meddle in this nosy matter.
I thought that the topic of today's dinner would be about the incident between myself and Inagaki Shihei, but looking at the current situation, Jian Maosheng is the protagonist tonight.
It can be seen from the accustomed looks of the guests at other tables that the people in Shanghai are probably accustomed to the behavior of the Bai and Jian families.
Bai Qihong was the first to raise his wine glass in celebration, followed by Mrs.
Bai's concurrence.
Jian Yi held up the wine glass quite indifferently, and Hua Ting followed suit.

Only Mrs.
Jian finished the dishes silently and looked at the table.
Turn a deaf ear to sensitive topics.
Hua Ting was impressed by Jian Maosheng's situation tonight and secretly praised her.
It's not enough to have likes.
She also admires her.
I really admire her.
This Nanxiang Jade is indeed beautiful.
No matter her frown or smile, she is full of charm.
She can definitely be called a beauty among prostitutes.
She grew up in a brothel, and she willingly cooperated with the madam's careful training, making herself the most prestigious and prestigious prostitute in Yinxiang House.
She has countless patrons, and every day there are men who come here to catch a glimpse of her beauty.
Her net worth is also incredibly high, whether she is having tea, laying flowers and wine, or being eliminated or staying.
Twice or three times that of an average prostitute.
A month's salary of an ordinary clerk is not enough for her to pay for a night of prostitution.
Even so, there were still a lot of men vying to buy her a smile.
Not only that, Nan Xiangyu is also a smart woman.
She has realized a long time ago that if she wants to become a famous prostitute, she must first have talent.
Those talented women who are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting are prostitutes, and they can always make people think highly of them.
But she lacked such talent.
She was not good at elegant things such as reciting poems, painting, and playing chess.
No matter how much the master taught her, it would not help.
Fortunately, she learned the pipa very well, and her singing voice was melodious, so she had some talent in folk arts.
Moreover, although she is not full of poems and books, she is smart enough to know how to look elegant and "full of poems and books".
Although she is in such a romantic place, to put it bluntly, she is an out-and-out prostitute.
But Nan Xiang Yuguang doesn't look like a prostitute at all.
She never wears heavy makeup or scantily clad clothes.
She always wears light makeup and elegant clothes, has a noble manner, speaks elegantly, and looks like a dignified and quiet lady.
Of course, Nan Xiangyu also has her own unique ideas on how to become a successful courtesan.
That is, the appearance can be as unfashionable as that of a lady, but the charm must not be lacking.
There is a saying that "if you are naive but not flattering, you are not a good person."
In fact, the same goes for prostitutes, they must be charming enough to be charming enough.
However, there is an extremely delicate balance between how to show off the coquettishness just right between the appearance of a lady and the interior of a promiscuous woman.
It is difficult to control this degree.
If it is too girly, it will become a wooden beauty, too frivolous, and it seems a bit lowly.
However, Nan Xiangyu relied on her own understanding to get this degree just right, thus achieving her everlasting reputation as a popular actress in Yinxiang Loutou.
Hua Ting knew that prostitutes were not forced to choose a life of flesh and blood as most people imagined.
In fact, a prostitute like Nan Xiangyu, who grew up in a brothel and was carefully cultivated as a cash cow since childhood, has the best food and clothing.
They suffered the least torture and the most benefits, and they have long been accustomed to this luxurious and corrupt parasitic life.
Let them leave the brothel to support themselves by working.
They are not willing to live such a hard life.
However, as the most famous beauties in Yinxiang Tower, Nan Xiangyu has always confidently believed that she is a woman who can conquer all the men in the world with her beauty.
In fact, she is indeed like this.
Every man who meets her will be more or less fascinated by her, and there are countless people who surrender under her pomegranate skirt.
However, Hua Ting had heard some time ago that Lu Yu, the president of Sanxin Trading Company, was the only one Nan Xiangyu could not get in such a romantic place.

During Nan Xiangyu's many years of romantic career, she couldn't remember exactly how many men had been fascinated by her, but she could clearly remember the only young swordsman who was not moved by her.
All her beauty and charm seemed to him like the wind, leaving no trace behind.
Nan Xiangyu also acted vigorously and resolutely.
She knew that a woman should sell herself better at her best age.
Therefore, not long after Lu Yu rejected her, she had sex with Jian Maosheng at lightning speed. together.
But because of this, he became jealous for the first time of another woman, Lu Yu's current target, Bai Huating.
Before that, it was only other women who were jealous of her.
Jealous of her beauty, her beauty, her charms.
But what's the use?
No matter how many men are willing to spend money to flatter her, after all, they are not the ones she wants most.
Hua Ting turned around and saw Lu Yu, who was toasting and drinking with several potbellied guests at the third round wooden table on the left.
It seemed that he had been waiting for her attention for a long time, and he couldn't wait before her eyes turned around.
He blinked at her, and his eyes glanced at Nan Xiangyu, who was sitting opposite, and he smiled without restraint as a greeting.
Nan Xiangyu glanced at Hua Ting with a complicated expression.
She has been in a brothel for more than ten years, and she has no other knowledge.
Her experience with men is absolutely unparalleled.
And this man, Lu Yu, was special in a way that she had never seen before.
Not only did he not engage in prostitution, gambling or opium, but he also did not smoke or drink.
Among a group of prostitutes who are as messy as mud, it is as refreshing as a clear spring.
Although his style of formality is cruel and decisive, he still reveals an underlying sense of elegance and leisure.
Besides, he is also a teacher.
Such a man appears in front of you.
He is both transparent and mysterious.
How can you not be moved?
Except of course.
Regarding her destiny, Nan Xiangyu very much hoped that she could entrust it to someone like Lu Yu, even though he didn't behave like a woman, as if he was not interested in women at all.
But she understood men.
The more men are not easily tempted by women, the easier it is for them to fall completely after being tempted, and their love will never waver from now on.
It's a pity that that person is Bai Huating.
"This batch of goods is leaving this time."
Bai Qihong slowly opened his mouth, with a meaningful smile in the corners of his eyes.
He turned his attention to Hua Ting's face at the right time, "I need people from Sanxin Trading Company. ” Hua Ting's lips paused slightly on the edge of the wine glass.
Bai Qihong continued to laugh, "But I have never dealt with anyone from Sanxin."
Isn’t this the implication?
Hua Ting was also extremely cooperative, "I'll try."
The hostility in Nan Xiangyu's eyes deepened.
To be continued.
