The girl who came forward had a pair of red phoenix eyes, and her face was smeared with thick rouge and gouache, but it did not look gaudy, but added a bit of charm.
It seemed like she was meant to be dressed like this, any more would be too much, and any less would be too little.
Just right.
She was wearing a long red dress that looked like a cheongsam, but the hem was only slit up to her calf. The white greasy that was looming from time to time when walking made people even more eye-catching.
But judging from her appearance, this girl is probably even more beautiful than the oiran from Yunyang County back then.
"Such a young bustard is rare." Lin Ji raised his eyebrows slightly.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the girl covered her mouth and chuckled twice, and said with a slight smile: "It is indeed the first time for our guests to come here. There is no madam in Qunfang Garden. The girls present all accept guests according to their abilities. "
"Oh?" Lin Ji was a little surprised, what kind of rule is this.
"Xiang Ling from the Nu family, I wonder if your guest would like to have a drink with the Nu family?"
Xiang Ling had obviously seen that Lin Ji was taking the lead between Lin Ji and Wang Zheng. She put her hand on Lin Ji's arm and looked at Wang Zheng at the same time.
"There are many other sisters in Xiangling who are idle at the moment. How about calling one more to accompany this guest?"
Wang Zheng's face was already flushed, and he looked like he had never seen such a scene before. His whole person became a little dull, and he couldn't even reply for a while.
Seeing this scene, Lin Ji shook his head and laughed.
"When we first come here, it's all arranged by the girl."
"Easy to say."
After a while, Lin Ji and Wang Zheng were led by Xiang Ling to sit down in a corner of the garden. Xiang Ling invited another sister to follow Wang Zheng.
There were already prepared melon and fruit snacks on the table, as well as two wine bottles that looked valuable.
Xiangling first filled Lin Ji with a glass, then picked it up and wanted to feed it to Lin Ji's mouth.
"No, I can do it myself." Lin Ji shook his head and declined, took the wine glass from Xiang Ling's hand, and drank it down in one gulp.
After putting down the wine glass, Lin Ji's eyes scanned the entire garden.
There were more than a dozen tables like theirs in the garden, and most of them had customers.
Many people seemed to have an extraordinary temperament, and some of them Lin Ji had met before, and he had met them in the court hall the only time he went to court.
"Why is your guest so absent-minded?" Xiang Ling said with a bit of complaint when she saw Lin Ji running away without knowing what he was thinking.
Lin Ji came back to his senses and said with a smile: "I'm just curious about the background of your Qunfang Garden. How dare you make such a big show in the east of the city."
As he spoke, Lin Ji pointed to the open door behind him.
"I see that there are many important officials from the imperial court among the guests. With the door open like this, is there really no taboo at all?"
Hearing this, Xiang Ling smiled and rolled her eyes: "Your Majesty, you are thinking too much. The guests who come here are here to have fun, there is nothing shameful about it."
"After all, a brothel is not a good place to go. Come and come back, but you always have to worry about your face."
"Doing business with the door open, there is nothing to hide." Xiang Ling replied.
Seeing that Lin Ji didn't say anything anymore, Xiang Ling smiled again and said: "The guest seems not to be very interested in talking. I know some music, why don't you sing a little song for the guest?"
"No need, I'm just here to gain some knowledge." Lin Ji shook his head slightly and declined.
When Wang Zheng mentioned this group of Fang Yuans before, he was a little curious, but now that they really came, he was a little disappointed.
If you have a girl by your side to drink and chat with you, if you become more promiscuous, it will be nothing more than touching.
If this was really the case, how could this group of Fang Yuans win the hearts of these dignitaries in the capital in such a short period of time?
Just when Lin Ji wanted to explore, his eyes suddenly glanced at another arch in the garden. There seemed to be a cave behind that arch.
Just as he was about to ask, he suddenly saw a familiar figure walking out of the arch.
That is Mu Kai, the son of Right Prime Minister Mu Hanfei.
"Huh? That's a coincidence." Lin Ji raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking about whether to go up and provoke him.
But suddenly, he saw Mu Kai bowing slightly and facing a man dressed as a scholar coming out of the arch behind him.
The two of them came to sit down at a table in the garden, and no girl came forward to chat with them.
"Who is that young man who deserves Uncle Guo's careful attention?" Lin Ji looked at Xiang Ling curiously.
Hearing Lin Ji's words, Xiang Ling was also a little surprised.
"Does your guest recognize Mr. Mu?"
"It's a bit festive." Lin Ji said bluntly.
Hearing this, Xiang Ling took a deep look at Lin Ji, and she realized that she seemed to have made a mistake.
At first, Lin Ji just thought that Lin Ji was an ordinary guest who came here because of the famous name of Qunfang Garden. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to wait at the door for a long time.
Originally, she only thought it was Lin Ji Luqie, but now she heard that this guest officer had a problem with Uncle Guo. It was obvious that this guest officer was not a simple person.
Thinking of this, Xiang Ling asked with some inquiry: "I haven't asked the guest officer's name yet."
"Surname Lin."
"What's the problem between Mr. Lin and Mr. Mu? If there is just a slight misunderstanding, the slave family may be able to mediate in it."
"Thank you for your kindness, girl. It's just our holiday and I'm afraid you can't mediate." Lin Ji smiled and didn't explain, "The girl hasn't told me yet who the person next to Mu Kai is."
"Can't say." Xiang Ling smiled, as if to get back at Lin Ji for looking down on her, as if she knew it but didn't tell you.
At this moment, Wang Zheng stood up suddenly with the girl beside him.
"Mr. Lin Da."
"What?" Lin Ji turned around.
Wang Zheng was hesitating and speechless. The girl next to him covered her mouth and chuckled, but did not speak.
On the contrary, Xiangling said: "They are going to the back to have fun... Xiaoli, entertain them well."
"Don't worry, Sister Xiangling."
After the words fell, the woman named Lili took Wang Zheng to the direction of the arch, and soon disappeared.
Seeing this scene, Lin Ji suddenly said: "So the place behind the arch is a convenient place for guests to do business?"
"If your guest is curious, why don't you come with me? I can also serve you personally." Xiangling said with some deep meaning in her eyes, "Qunfang Garden can gain great fame in a short period of time, and it can't just be the garden." These are ordinary means."
Hearing this, Lin Ji also became somewhat interested.
"Oh? If you don't satisfy me, I won't give you the money."
"From princes and ministers to wealthy businessmen, no one has been dissatisfied since the opening of Qunfang Garden, and of course no one has failed to pay the bills."
Lin Ji stood up and walked behind the arch.
"You've said so. If I don't go, wouldn't I be denying you face?"
Xiangling smiled and took two steps to hold Lin Ji's arm.
"Sir, please walk more slowly, I won't even be able to keep up."
