Back then, Zui Le Fang first came to the capital to participate in the capital's oiran competition.
After Zhao Nishang won, Liu Qiaoer handed over the management of Zui Le Fang to Shaoyao.
Originally they were all Lu Yunzheng's men, but they knew nothing about business.
Zhao Nishang is aloof and arrogant, and she loves Lu Yunzheng wholeheartedly, and is unwilling to flatter other men.
But she forgot that this was a brothel. If it weren't for the support of someone who was good at playing both sides, Zui Le Fang would have been kicked out long ago.
Liu Qiaoer had a keen eye and chose Shaoyao. Shaoyao was of humble origin and her only concern was making money.
Lu Yunzheng was busy with his own things, so Zui Le Fang was left to Liu Qiaoer to take care of. After a while, Liu Qiaoer stopped coming because of some other matters.
After Liu Qiaoer went to Mobei, the women of Zuiyuefang in the capital were handed over to Shaoyao for full management.
Later, when war broke out, Liu Qiaoer wrote a letter asking Shaoyao to take the women and temporarily retire, and gave them some money and arranged a place for them to hide.
After hiding for three years, Liu Qiaoer allowed them to come out again after Zhao Ziyu became emperor.
Later, Liu Qiaoer went to the secret realm, and Shaoyao took her sisters to revive Zuiyuefang.
She didn't know what happened during that time. When Lu Yunqing gave her the account book, she found that Zui Le Fang was transferring money into her account from time to time.
However, one year, it was heard that Zui Le Fang had offended someone and spent a large sum of money. When Shaoyao was at her wits' end, she found Lu Yunqing.
Lu Yunqing gave her the money again.
After getting over this hurdle, Zui Le Fang became better and better. In the past three or four years, it has even become a place for leisure for the dignitaries in Beijing.
The Lu family actually has a close connection with Zui Le Fang, but many people don't know it.
Yun Zheng stretched out a finger and said that to enter the flower boat of Zuiyuefang, it would cost a total of one thousand taels of gold.
So far, the only person who has entered Zuiyuefang is Lu Yunqing, the richest man in Beijing.
Of course, there are also powerful people in the capital, but they just don’t tell the outside world.
After all, the imperial court stipulated that officials above the third rank were not allowed to attend such romantic occasions.
In private, there would definitely be people who would go there, and Zuiyuefang also became a place for them to gather, but the chips given by the officials were only silver.
After Liu Qiaoer came back, she also heard some of what Lu Yunqing said, but she didn't know the details.
Bringing Yun Zheng to the riverside, Liu Qiaoer blew a whistle when she saw the Zui Le Fang boat.
It was just that there was singing and dancing at Zuiyuefang, and there wasn't much reaction.
Liu Qiaoer waited for a while, put one hand to her mouth, and sang a cheerful song.
"Hey... what are you doing somersaults on the water? Hey, hey, hey, what are you building tall buildings on the water? Hey, hey, what are you holding parasols on the water? What are you getting older on the water..."
The tone is melodious, crisp, and cheerful with a sense of spirituality.
Yun Zheng didn't understand why Liu Qiaoer suddenly started singing.
He didn't understand how Zui Le Fang would react to this tune that he had never heard before.
"What are you doing?"
Liu Qiaoer smiled awkwardly: "Of course I am looking for someone, but I don't know if anyone will respond to me after such a long time..."
Yun Zheng suddenly felt that Liu Qiaoer was so unreliable and regretted agreeing to her.
"If that doesn't work, we..."
Before Yun Zheng finished speaking, Liu Qiaoer sang it again...
Just when Yun Zheng thought that there was a high probability that he would not be able to enter Zui Le Fang, suddenly, he saw the Zui Le Fang boat turn around.
Slowly rowing towards them.
And the other side also sang the same tune, a melodious song, but the lyrics were different.
Like answering her question.
"Ducks do somersaults on the water, large ships build tall buildings on the water, lotus leaves hold up parasols on the water, and mandarin ducks grow old together on the water."
When Liu Qiaoer heard the music, she said happily, "Look, they're here."
This is the secret code between Liu Qiaoer, Shaoyao, Zui Le Fang and others.
No matter how many years have passed, once the secret code matches, the woman singing the folk song is a member of Zuiyuefang.
This song can only be sung by the heads of the twelve fringe blocks of Zui Le Fang. Most women who have just come in or have low status cannot sing it.
Because the tune is simple and easy to learn, but the lyrics are difficult. This folk song has three sections. As long as you can sing one of them, it proves that you are one of them. If you can sing all three sections correctly, then you are the owner of Zuiyuefang.
It was not easy for Zuilefang's three-story ship to sail over.
The most spectacular thing is that so many women sing a song together.
In the first paragraph, Liu Qiaoer sang the lyrics, and the woman on the boat sang the second paragraph.
Liu Qiaoer also wanted to sing a response. Then came the third stanza, and Liu Qiaoer also sang it. The women in Zuiyuefang were even more curious, and they all ran out to sing with her.
This spectacular scene immediately attracted many people.
The people around were also curious about who could make all the girls from Zui Le Fang come out in full force to perform together.
Yun Zheng was also stunned. He watched as Zui Le Fang approached the shore and their housekeeper, Shaoyao, walked out quickly.
According to the time calculation, Shaoyao is about 40 years old this year. She has been well maintained and still has charm. In addition, she is the manager of Zuiyuefang, and many people know her.
It can be seen that she is so anxious and excited.
Everyone knows that there is a powerful force behind Zui Le Fang, and the nanny in charge is very versatile, but no one knows how powerful the force behind it is.
The women from Zuiyuefang were seen standing on both sides of the boat, respectfully saluting Shaoyao.
Shaoyao walked past everyone without even looking at them and went straight to a young man.
She looked carefully, again and again, but still couldn't recognize the person.
"Excuse me, are you the one who just sang the mountain song?"
Liu Qiao'er chuckled: "Peony, how are you? I'm back."
Shaoyao showed an incredible look: "You, you are..."
She wanted to recognize Liu Qiaoer, but she didn't look like her. How could a girl not age for decades and her appearance change
The cautious Shaoyao looked at Liu Qiaoer vigilantly, and suddenly attacked Liu Qiaoer.
Liu Qiaoer was caught off guard, and even Yun Zheng who was beside her was not alert, as the other party actually took action.
However, Shaoyao knew that no one could hurt Liu Qiaoer because she had a very powerful guard by her side.
Sure enough, her wrist was grabbed by someone, and Long Batian appeared in front of her out of thin air.
"presumptuous."
Not only has Liu Qiaoer still looked young after more than 20 years, her guards have not changed at all and are still as young as ever.
Shaoyao finally recognized him this time, and she knelt on the ground and kowtowed obediently.
"Peony welcomes the master."
Shaoyao knelt down, and then the others knelt down one after another. All the women from Zuiyuefang on the boat knelt down.
"Welcome to the master."
Liu Qiaoer smiled slightly: "Get up quickly, you know, I hate you kneeling down the most, we are all equals."
Same tune, same theory, same guard.
Even if Liu Qiaoer's appearance has changed, she is still the same person.
Shaoyao's eyes were red. "Where have you been all these years? Sister Nishang and I are very worried about you. All of us sisters are also very worried about you."
Liu Qiaoer wiped her tears with her sleeve: "Why are you crying? I'm back now."
The new women in Zui Le Fang naturally did not understand Shaoyao's feelings for Liu Qiaoer.
If it weren't for Liu Qiaoer, they would still be bullied in the small county town of Fengxin County.
It was Liu Qiaoer who changed the business model of Zuiyuefang and told them that women could only sell their art and not their bodies.
And he brought them to the capital, where they became artists, rather than just women who were trampled upon in brothels.
