Chapter 96
Liu She paused, and his expression turned odd . After a short while, he said, "Men who love the pleasures of Langlang Alley usually come from well-off families . They often have a few wives and mistresses, yet they still come here . Why do you think? It's not because the ladies here are gorgeous . It's because they have talents . "

In ancient times, there were not many women who could read and speak well . A girl who was good with words and could understand people was even rarer .
Many men did not have much in common with their wives at home, and they could hardly hold a conversation with them . Therefore, they visited Langlang Alley to find a close female friend in the brothels who they could have fun chatting about literary works with .
Liu She thought this was reasonable, but when he had told Gu Min that, she had rebutted him .
"Mother was such an insightful lady," Jiang Pengji agreed .
"If that's the case, I guess Langlang Alley's atmosphere is much quieter . Why aren't we headed there?"
"You like excitement, and I don't think you would like it there," Liu She replied .
Jiang Pengji: " . . . "
Buding Bushi Buding: "Your dad understands you . I'm giving your father a Like . "
Xiyan: "Eh, the host's dad is still quite cute . Whenever they interact, there's this peaceful feeling . Especially when her dad teases her . I can tell that the host has no energy to roast him . "
Zhaozhao Mumu: "Hahaha! She has finally met her match!"
Nao: "Wooaahhh… . I'll bet a chili that the host's thoughts right now is definitely 'sh*t'"

Liu She picked a place called Yingchun Lou that was much bigger and had more guests .
Liu She had left Hejian County for many years . Though no one remembered what he looked like, he was dressed elegantly and wore an intricately made leather cloak, so he was easy to spot in a crowd .
The female brothel keeper noticed him and eagerly stepped forward to welcome them . Jiang Pengji could not help but be reminded of the slave trader .
"Please enter . "
The keeper waved a handkerchief that had fragrance wafting from it . Liu She frowned and took a step back, dodging the keeper's purposeful hand .
"Find your brothel's most beautiful girls and give us a private room . Don't be too noisy . "
Liu She's cold expression let the keeper know that he was not here for fun . Then she noticed Jiang Pengji .
She gave smiled radiantly when she realized that the Jiang Pengji was the one who was here for the girls .
"Don't worry . Everyone knows that our girls are the best . Our young Langjun here will have lots of fun . "
The keeper turned around and yelled to a skinny girl dressed in green to show the two guests to a private room .
The brothel keeper looked to be around thirty years old . In that era, she was considered a middle-aged woman . As she walked away, she had a grace that no younger woman could mimic . Jiang Pengji could not tear her eyes away from the keeper .

Liu She bowed his head as he studied Jiang Pengji . Something was not right .
Jiang Pengji opened her sandalwood fan and used it to cover her face . Her eyes were curved up like crescent moons from her smile .
"That keeper… The way she walks made me think of a word: 'Sashay . '"
Liu She's lips twitched before giving in and humming an agreement .
He still felt like something was really not right .
"Please follow me . " The girl in green looked to be around ten years old, but she seemed more mature because she had worked at the brothel for many years .
There was lots of incessant chatter and other sounds that made Jiang Pengji frown . She quietly tried to suppress her senses and felt marginally better .
The private room was not small . When the girl in green pushed open the doors, a simple yet elegant sight greeted them .
"A beautiful private room . Please prepare some light vegetables and two bottles of rice wine," Jiang Pengji ordered as she studied the room . She sat in front of a square table and leaned her body against a side table . Her posture was relaxed, and she looked like she was enjoying herself . "By the way, do you have any girls who can sing?"
Buding Bushi Buding: "Bet a chili that the host is definitely a veteran at this . Look at her father's face . That hopeless expression . "
That viewer had accurately described Liu She's thoughts . After seeing his daughter behave as though she knew what she was doing, he panicked . Was she already a frequent customer at this brothel?
Liu She's peace was broken .
Jiang Pengji noticed Liu She's expression and guessed his thoughts . She flipped a cup over on the table and poured herself some tea .
"Father, don't think too much . This is my first time here . "
Liu She: " . . . "
A cover-up only makes matters worse!
Before they could talk about it, someone outside the doors announced that the girls had arrived .
"Enter!" Jiang Pengji replied generously .
At her reply, the doors opened to reveal two 17-year-old girls . They were clad in beautiful clothes that were made from expensive fabric . Behind them, there were four other girls carrying musical instruments .
The first two walked straight towards Liu She and Jiang Pengji . One was charming and sweet, while the other was bright and bubbly . The other four were solemn and went to sit in a corner of the room .
Host V: "Do you guys want any songs?"
In a split second, the screen was filled with indecent song titles .
Jiang Pengji glanced at one of the titles and turned to the other four girls . "Do you know how to sing the 'Shibamo'?"
"Pu—"
Liu She lost his composure and sprayed out half a mouthful of tea .
The four girls looked toward one another as their faces turned red .
Even though it was a place of pleasure, the girls were not accustomed to seeing men like Jiang Pengji and Liu She . They looked like honest men . Jiang Pengji was still young, and Liu She was in his prime and oozed manliness . Just looking at them caused the girls to blush .
Singing such an indecent song in front of them felt wrong and shameful .
"Go serve him . I don't need anyone . " Liu She quickly regained himself and tidied his appearance . He was still grimacing .
He was sure that this was definitely not the first time his daughter had visited a brothel . He felt that he had failed as a father because he had not provided her with proper guidance .
