The rise of the poor

Chapter 2294 The Brothel

After receiving Xu Hai's handwritten letter, Luo Longwen fled as if his pants were on fire. This godforsaken place caused him to suffer heavy losses every time he came, and he dared not stay any longer; he was terrified.

"Master, the brothel is over here. Let me tell you, sir, although this place in Ligang is newly built, its brothels may not be as grand as those in the capital, but the women here are far superior. The women in the capital are all coy and reserved, unlike these women. I'd have to change my pants if I took a second's look."

Two lackeys followed Luo Longwen, leading him towards the brothel. As they walked, they talked about the brothel, their faces beaming with excitement when they spoke of the girls inside.

"How old are you to still wet your pants!" Luo Longwen scoffed.

"Master, I didn't wet my pants, it's just that the woman was too unrestrained. She exposed most of her breasts and swung her buttocks around. I, I... I can't take it!" The lackey couldn't bear to think of the scene back then.

"Useless! I'll show you what true composure is." Luo Longwen snorted and walked forward confidently.

The two lackeys lagged a few steps behind, exchanged a glance, and whispered, "Master has no willpower whatsoever; he's clearly impotent."

"What are you two whispering about, 'no' what?" Luo Longwen turned to look at the two men, suspecting they were talking badly about him.

"We meant that we are not as good as the master," the two lackeys quickly retorted, trying to salvage the situation.

"That's right, you all have something to learn." Luo Longwen proudly raised his head and walked forward with a pigeon-toed gait.

"Ahem, we have no desire to learn that." The two lackeys exchanged a glance and shook their heads vigorously.

We'd rather be impotent like you! That's terrifying! Even if you paid us, we wouldn't be impotent like you.

"What are you whispering about again?!" Luo Longwen turned his head.

"Ahem, we said we don't have the master's talent, we can't learn it," the two lackeys hurriedly explained.

"Hehe, I'm glad you know your place. But with me here, even though you're incredibly dull, I still have the information to teach you a fraction of the true essence," Luo Longwen chuckled, speaking with a confident expression.

Three copies of the true teachings?! Doesn't that make you a pushover?!

Under Luo Longwen's watchful gaze, the two lackeys couldn't even refuse; their smiles were more like cries.

The three of them quickly arrived at the brothel, and Luo Longwen looked up and examined it.

The brothel's entrance was glittering and opulent, but it had a cheap, nouveau riche feel to it, lacking the elegance and refinement of those in the capital. A plaque hung above the door with the two large characters "Brothel" on it. On either side of the entrance were couplets that, while not perfectly rhymed, were undeniably provocative: "The clouds are sudden and the rain is heavy, yet the flowers are even more beautiful; though a thousand pieces of gold have been spent, the fragrance still lingers." and "On a spring night, the flowers cast a shadow; as the cherry lips fade, please taste them."

"Grandpa, come in and have some fun."

"You bad man, your eyes look like you want to devour me! Come in and have a taste, see if I suit your taste."

"My husband, my love, my dear brother, I'm so itchy! Please help me stop the itch."

The brothels were filled with women of all shapes and sizes, including locals, Japanese, and many foreigners, even those with skin as black as charcoal. They would pose provocatively at the entrance and upstairs, using seductive voices to attract customers.

Luo Longwen's eyes lit up immediately. The entrance of this brothel could not compare to that of the capital, but the girls inside were even better than those in the capital.

The black and white, the plump and the slender, it's truly an eye-opener! Even the swords that have been sealed away for many years seem to tremble slightly.

"Master, I'm here. Let me have a go at you vixens." Luo Longwen rubbed his hands together and strode inside.

"Master, wait for us!" The two lackeys, not to be outdone, quickly caught up and overtook them. "Master, we'll clear the way for you."

Luo Longwen was shocked when he entered the brothel; there were so many people inside, and the atmosphere was incredibly lively.

Inside the brothel, on a wooden platform surrounded by red silk, several curvaceous and scantily clad barbarian women were performing a belly dance that made Luo Longwen blush and feel his heart pound, captivating his gaze.

"Master, look! These barbarian women are shameless! They're dressed so scantily and dancing so provocatively. Hehe, but I like it. I love watching them."

The two lackeys, drooling and blushing, spoke to Luo Longwen.

"As expected of these barbarians from beyond the borders, they don't understand any manners at all. Humph, today I'm going to call a few more barbarian women and give them a proper lecture on the Four Books and Five Classics." Luo Longwen stroked his chin, his face full of lewdness.

"Pah, hypocrite! You don't even know the Four Books and Five Classics yourself," the two lackeys thought to themselves. "Besides, isn't this a waste of money, sir? You're impotent, you might as well give it to us."

The performances on the platform were becoming more and more exciting, but there were too many people on site, and everyone wanted to push forward, so Luo Longwen and his group couldn't squeeze in no matter how hard they tried.

"Gentlemen, fifty taels of silver can buy a pot of tea and you can sit down at the table in front to drink tea. One hundred taels of silver can get you a seat in the very front row of the private rooms."

There were vendors selling seats at the event; these seats were all in good locations in front of the stage, and you had to pay to sit in them.

"Front row seats." Luo Longwen was just regretting not being able to squeeze to the front, so he waved his hand and handed over one hundred taels of silver.

"Sir, you are quite capable." The waiter beamed and led the way, guiding Luo Longwen and his party to the front row of private seats.

Upon arriving at the private room, which was less than two meters from the platform, Luo Longwen was treated to a spectacular view and instinctively felt that the money had been well spent.

"Gentlemen, the wonderful program is about to begin. Today is a joyous day for our brothel. Do you know what day it is? Today is the day our young lady Rousi is getting married. Today, I, her mother, will find a suitable husband for my young lady Rousi and will choose one from among the gentlemen present."

After the foreign women finished their belly dance, taking advantage of the lively atmosphere, the madam reached out and grabbed a foreign woman wearing a red veil and revealing bright red silk, and shouted to the crowd.

Luo Longwen's eyes widened. No wonder she was called "Rice Noodles"—a barbarian woman who could nurse ten children with the help of two lackeys. He wondered what she ate to grow up; it was simply unbelievable and unheard of. No wonder she was called "Rice Noodles"—her name suited her perfectly. It was truly exhilarating.

"Me, me, me!" The crowd was excited, with men of all ages stretching out their arms to sign up.

"Gentlemen, you are all handsome men. It's hard for me to choose. I have no choice but to give you my heart. The money represents your heart. The one with the most heart is my shredded meat's ideal husband."

The madam pulled the red-haired barbarian woman onto the stage, making her turn around to show off her curvaceous figure and stir up the atmosphere. (End of Chapter)
