Chapter 79: Man's Happiness

Lin Zhiqing and Lin Yangyang sat in the teahouse opposite, observing quietly.

This Qianjin Pavilion was very different from the brothels Lin Zhiqing knew. There were no flamboyant women waving handkerchiefs at the door, and no one was shouting at the top of their lungs, "Sir, would you like to play?"

Even when Lin Shian entered the room, it was very quiet, with only a servant coming out to greet him.

"Is it so quiet?" Lin Zhiqing murmured to himself.

My cousin shook her head carelessly. "Only the East Market would be so serious and pay attention to elegance. If it were the West Market, Shi'an would have been drowned in women by now."

Lin Zhiqing rolled his eyes and asked, "Cousin, have you ever been to a brothel in Xishi before?"

Lin Yangyang touched his nose. "Isn't this just curiosity? Haven't you seen a pig run before you've eaten pork? The last time I went there, I was taken out as soon as I stepped through the door."

"They said I was too skinny and small, and that I might be trying to sneak in disguised as a man to catch someone having an affair. They refused to let me in no matter what."

Lin Zhiqing was amused by her. To be honest, if they had not been together for a long time, she really would not have believed that Lin Yangyang was Lin Congli's daughter.

Lin Congli is old-fashioned and strict. In his eyes, rules are more important than human life.

But Lin Yangyang is bold, lively, and likes to challenge new things.

This father and daughter have completely different temperaments.

But this is also a good thing, otherwise she would be the only one sitting here today.

"Sister Qing, should we wait for the manager of the farm to come before going in?" Lin Yangyang looked around.

Lin Zhiqing took a piece of cake and started eating: "Yes, they are almost here."

……

Lin Shian had just been led into a private room when the madam came in with a row of scantily clad women.

"Oh, who was it? It turns out to be the young master of the Lin family!" The madam didn't look very old and had a bit of the temperament of a "middle-aged woman".

She sat down opposite Lin Shian, revealing her smooth shoulders and neck.

Lin Shian's body tensed up and he averted his eyes stiffly. He had an idea in his mind. Lin Zhiqing was right. This brothel owner knew him!

He had never been to Qianjin Pavilion before and was not well-known in Shengjing City. It was impossible for a small brothel to recognize him at first sight.

Seeing that Lin Shian's eyes were not on her, the madam's smile faded a little and she pulled up her clothes: "Master Lin, come and have a look. The girls here are all very beautiful and proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. I guarantee that your visit will not be in vain."

Lin Shian's hands were clenched tightly under the table. He looked up and saw that the white skin was really dazzling.

But thinking about what Lin Zhiqing had told him, he could only bite the bullet and point to a woman at random.

Soon, the room that was a little crowded just now became empty.

Lin Shian refused the woman's approach and just let her play the piano beside him.

The melodious sound of the piano soon spread out. When the madam at the door heard the sound of the piano, the smile on her face completely disappeared.

She waved her hand, and immediately a man dressed as a servant with shifty eyes came over: "Go tell the boss that someone from the Lin family is coming."

At the same time, three middle-aged men in brocade clothes got off the carriage and headed straight for Qianjin Pavilion.

Lin Zhiqing in the teahouse narrowed his eyes and patted his cousin on the shoulder.

Seeing the three managers enter Qianjin Pavilion, Lin Zhiqing and Lin Yangyang also slowly walked out of the teahouse and stepped into the gate of Qianjin Pavilion.

As soon as they entered the door, a handsome servant came forward and asked, "Gentlemen, would you like to sit in the lobby or..."

"I want a room upstairs." Lin Zhiqing took out a silver ingot and threw it into the servant's hand. The servant's eyes lit up. It had been a long time since he met such a generous guest. The smile on his face became even brighter: "Hey, this way, please!"

Lin Yangyang looked at the silver ingot and felt her heart bleeding.

Lin Zhiqing didn't pay much attention to the servant, but stared closely at the managers who had just entered.

Seeing that they were led to a room on the right side of the third floor, she knew what was going on and followed the servant.

The servant took them to the upper room at the innermost end of the second floor. As soon as they entered, the madam came over after smelling the scent.

As soon as the girls came in, Lin Yangyang's eyes were glued to them and she couldn't move them away.

Even before the madam spoke, she couldn't wait to pick out two girls, touching one's little hand and pinching another's little face, feeling so happy.

If Lin Zhiqing hadn't known that this was his cousin, he would have really regarded her as a playboy.

When the madam saw this, she left without staying for long.

Seeing this, Lin Zhiqing winked at Lin Yangyang, who was feeding the beauty wine, then stood up and walked out.

This series of processes went so fast that Lin Zhiqing only found the opportunity to observe the Qianjin Pavilion from the corridor on the second floor.

In the middle of the lobby where they had just entered, there was a stage that could accommodate more than ten people performing, and women in white were dancing gracefully on the stage.

There were several low tables in front of the stage, and some people were drinking and hugging each other, looking very happy.

As Lin Zhiqing watched, he began to understand the happiness of men.

After observing around, she found that except for the few managers just now, no ordinary guests had ever gone up to the third floor of Qianjin Pavilion.

Not to mention the guests, even the servants and thugs showed no signs of approaching the third floor.

Just as she was trying to find a way to get in, a familiar figure walked in from the gate.

He is tall and thin, with dark eyes and a gaunt face. This is the youngest child of the Lin family, Lin Jiusi.

The servant greeted him as usual, just like treating an ordinary guest.

But Lin Zhiqing clearly saw the servant subconsciously wipe his hands on his clothes, slightly bend his back, and take the silver from Lin Jiusi's hand familiarly, but without any joy in his expression.

Lin Zhiqing could tell at a glance that the two were acting, and Lin Jiusi was just going through the motions.

Soon, Lin Jiusi was taken to the upper room on the leftmost side of the second floor. While going upstairs, he glanced in the direction of Lin Zhiqing.

Lin Zhiqing looked at him briefly for a second, and then he looked away and walked into the room.

Why aren’t you going to the third floor... Lin Zhiqing narrowed his eyes, feeling that something was wrong.

When she returned to the room, Lin Yangyang was already hanging out with several women and was having a great time.

Lin Zhiqing stood still like a mountain and sat for a cup of tea before going out again under the pretext of going to the toilet.

This time, her target was the room that Lin Jiusi entered.

Since he pretended not to know anyone from Qianjin Pavilion from the beginning, Lin Zhiqing was sure that Lin Jiusi would not go to the third floor so blatantly.

If that's the case, there must be something wrong with the last room he entered!
Lin Zhiqing walked lightly, pretending to be lost, and moved towards the upper room on the left.

But as soon as she got closer, she saw two strong men walking back and forth inside, observing the surroundings.

Lin Zhiqing frowned, things were getting a little troublesome.
