Yu Shuangxue had no choice but to suppress her doubts and, guided by Xin Tao, climbed to the third floor and walked into the wing.
Everyone saw the man at a glance.
He was sitting on a soft chair in the hall, flipping through a book in front of him, his expression calm and focused.
"Hey, this guy... is so young." Xintao said in a low voice.
In fact, not only was the other party young, but his appearance was also very different from what Xintao had guessed before. He was not a wealthy businessman with a big, bold personality, and he even looked a little reserved. His facial features are well-proportioned and his clothes are also very fresh. It would not be surprising to say that he is a young master from any aristocratic family. However, if he is just like this, it should be impossible for Sister Hong to make such a big move.
Of course, Yu Shuangxue didn't have much favorable impressions of this person.
The appearance is just a skin, but she has seen too many different kinds of handsome young men, and they are all surprisingly similar on the inside. When she thought of the other person's look like he was treating him like a plaything, she felt sincerely nauseated in her heart.
Relying on her performance that suits every occasion, she has also reached the top position that is sought after by everyone. There were many people who wanted to take her as their concubine, but she resisted the huge pressure and refused everyone's offers of marriage, even falling out with the landlady. If she were an ordinary woman, Sister Hong would have kicked her out long ago, but facing the confident Yu Shuangxue, the landlady did not dare to do so. In the end, she deducted most of the money she deserved, and claimed that she was just Keep it on your behalf to subsidize her daily expenses for food and clothing.
So Sister Hong notified her to come over, not out of the kindness of "give her a chance, maybe the two of them will fall in love", but simply because she wanted to humiliate her.
As long as she appears in this kind of situation, she will definitely hear ridicules such as being ignored and refusing to leave. After all, brothels are not a place where seniority is judged. New women in the industry will always only care about the current number one and how they are. Time to climb to that position.
Sister Hong probably really wanted to see her feeling sorry for herself and crying.
It's a pity that her tears ran out ten years ago.
When everyone arrived, the man put down the book in his hand and spread his right hand to everyone, "Please sit down."
Opposite him, there were four or five rows of cushions on the ground—so many cushions that they were obviously brought from other rooms.
"Isn't this... too crowded?"
"Not to mention playing the zither, I can't even play the pipa and huqin."
"I'm afraid it's hard to even see the faces of the people sitting in the back."
"It's rare that I'm wearing a suit of clothes customized from a gold silk shop... Hey, be careful, you stepped on the corner of my clothes."
There was a sudden murmur among the crowd.
But the guest's request came first. Although everyone was a little reluctant, they still crowded and sat down according to his wishes.
Yu Shuangxue was too lazy to compete with others for a front row seat and simply sat in the last row.
Surprisingly, Xintao also sat next to her.
"Aren't you going to the front?"
"It still doesn't work..." She said with some embarrassment, "This young man looks a bit thin and may not be suitable for me."
No way, Yu Shuangxue twitched the corner of her mouth. Could it be that the image this guy had imagined before was not based on reason, but out of his own preferences
"Good evening everyone, let me introduce myself first." The man said at this time, "My name is Xia Fan. I come from Jinxia City. I am currently the Prime Minister of Jinxia Privy Council. I am very happy to meet you ladies."
"Pfft..." Someone couldn't help but chuckle, "What kind of opening remarks is this?"
"Isn't it too direct?"
The whispering was very low, but when everyone was talking, it was equivalent to a burst of excitement.
"I thought he was a scholar, but I didn't expect that it would be all the girls who opened his mouth..."
"It's rare to use 'I'. Shouldn't I use Xiaosheng?"
"I understand, it turns out you like the weak type."
"But the Prime Minister of the Privy Council is an official, right? And where is this Jinxia City?"
"It seems to be northeast of Daqi?"
Until someone said - "I heard that the minimum requirement for a Fu Cheng is a hundred swords, which is equivalent to a fourth-rank official in the imperial court."
The sound of sex subsided instantly.
There was a strange silence in the wing room.
No one could have imagined that a man of this age who looked almost the same as most of his sisters would actually be in the fourth rank!
What is the concept? When the fourth-rank officials are sent to other places, they are either prefects or state shepherds. They are all serious people in power. They can be said to be the masters of a place. Even if there are countless officials, big and small, in the capital, the fourth rank is still considered a rare guest in a brothel, not to mention such a young fourth rank!
Even if his opening remarks were uneducated, his life experience was enough to make everyone look at him.
"Hello, Mr. Xia, I'm so polite here."
After a moment of silence, everyone stood up and saluted. The people in the back wanted to squeeze out a seat, but the people in the front didn't want to get out of the way. The room seemed a little chaotic for a while.
"Okay, you'd better sit down and talk." Xia Fan pressed down, "I saw someone mentioned the issue of Jinxia, so I might as well introduce it here. It is the core city of Shenzhou and also the Qi One of the Yancheng cities in China…”
"Uh... Sister Yu, is this really a brothel here?" After listening, Xintao couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Why doesn't he mention poetry and folk art at all?"
Yu Shuangxue was also in a daze. She even felt like she was back in elementary school. At that time, the Master taught them the outside world and the style of Daqi seriously. However, the other party wanted to go into more detail, covering almost everything from population to commerce, history to current situation.
After half an hour, he ended the topic - now everyone not only knew where Jinxia was, but also became half "Jinxiatong".
The problem is... This is Wushuang Pavilion. What is he trying to do by spending money to introduce Jinxia City here
As if he saw everyone's doubts, Xia Fan stood up and hung a piece of paper on the wall behind him.
Someone immediately read the large characters above.
"Jinxia City... talent introduction plan?"
"That's right, this is a recruitment for the whole territory of Daqi, and you are the first batch of invitees." Xia Fan nodded, "I have written the definition and requirements of talents on the paper. If there is any If you have any questions, you can ask me at any time."
"Sister Yu, is he poaching?" Xintao said in shock, "Is it possible that Jinxia's brothel is short of manpower and has taken all the ideas to Shangyuan City?"
No...something doesn't look like it. Yu Shuangxue stared at the roll of hanging paper - the conditions below stated that there was no limit on male or female, no age limit, as long as anyone could read and write, had not committed any serious crimes, and was willing to learn new knowledge. This was completely unlike the style of recruiting people in a brothel. In other words, this was the first time she had seen such a recruitment method!
But the benefits mentioned next are all real. There is a monthly salary of up to five taels of cash, including food and accommodation, and bonuses based on results. These remunerations alone have already reached the level of some officials in Gyeonggi Province. Not much different. As for words such as double breaks during working days and paid holidays, although it is a bit awkward to read, you can feel the sincerity of the recruiter - Jin Xia not only considered the remuneration, but also took into consideration the rest and unexpected suspension.
Such a request obviously has nothing to do with the brothel.
More than one person in the wing realized this, "Excuse me, sir, what is Jin Xia recruiting people for?"
"You can do whatever you want, but the most suitable position for you right now is probably a teacher... or a master."
The crowd couldn't help but roar.
This is completely beyond everyone's imagination.
"It's impossible for Sister Hong to agree, right?"
"Master Xia must be joking. There is no reason for us to be masters."
"And that's Shenzhou. Isn't it a little too remote?"
This is also what girls care about most.
If this happened in Shangyuan, there would be no problem in seeing it, but Jinxia is different.
For them, it was an almost completely unfamiliar foreign land.
"Jinxia City is too far away, so no one would be willing to go, right?"
"Yeah... unless there are some irreplaceable benefits."
"Such as marrying Mr. Fu Cheng as a concubine?"
"This is worth considering."
Although it was a low-pitched teasing between women, Xia Fan seemed to hear it clearly. He looked directly at the place where the conversation was taking place and said loudly, "Jinxia City has irreplaceable benefits."
He paused at this point, "You can be free there."
Yu Shuangxue's heart was shocked.
