Chapter 1083: Chapter 318: Feng Zhaoyang Arc (Part 1)_4
Second, it’s for the civilian and military officials, who feel embarrassed to wander around. Therefore, there are designated spaces for them.
Next, within the large families are those called "maids," although these differ from the usual maids as they primarily entertain guests. The Wei Family doesn’t have these types of household maids, but other families do. Sometimes they’re given to guests, other times they’re used themselves, and their fate is usually quite tragic.
Following that are regular brothels, accessible to anyone with money.
The most pitiful are those who are forced, taken during battles between two armies, and made to serve military officers and soldiers, ending in particularly tragic outcomes.
In this era, the most tragic captured women still exist, household maids still exist, brothels still exist, but the civilian and military officials and the emperor no longer participate; these two groups are now served by the Courtesan. It seems the Courtesan desires to elevate her status even higher.
Hmm, understandable.
Whether men or women, growing up makes one feel the overwhelming malice of this world, quite cruel. This is a cannibalistic world, so it’s understandable to want to protect oneself.
"Once the Queen Courtesan succeeds, won’t she stop receiving ordinary folks like us?" Yuchi asked with a smile.
"This young girl doesn’t know. I’m still a Courtesan myself," she replied.
While speaking, the woman temporarily left Yuchi’s side and approached a tea cabinet. Inside were various tea leaves, clearly indicating she was attentive to Yuchi, as he had barely tasted and was obviously dissatisfied with the tea.
To ensure the return of guests, catering to the client’s happiness is paramount, since they pay to come here. Thus, even if Yuchi hadn’t explicitly expressed his dislike, she still needed to offer another type of tea.
This is called professionalism, an immaculate service, where spending money isn’t regrettable.
Then she brought a small wooden box to Yuchi, placing the teapot aside and taking out another clay pot. After rinsing the teapot with warm water, she began to meticulously prepare the tea. Finally, she smiled, moved Yuchi’s unfinished cup to her own face, lightly covered her lips, and drank it clean.
She then placed the empty cup back in front of Yuchi, cheeks brimming with smiles, and gracefully said: "Let brother be amused."
With that, she poured Yuchi a fresh cup of tea.
Yin Shuang: She’s really capable!
Yuchi: She’s truly capable!
Dammit, a professional does professional things. This entire operation was so comfortable, even more touching than mere physical interactions. Feeling embarrassed to decline the tea again, Yuchi delightfully finished the new cup in one drink.
Thus, Yuchi and the Courtesan exchanged smiles: "There’s another small matter, as I’ve just arrived at the state capital, I wonder if there are any ways to earn money here?"
Ways to earn money? The Courtesan pondered: "The state capital is filled with ways to earn money; it depends on your own ideas. Are you planning on conducting business or completing tasks in the state capital? I’ll try to provide reliable advice."
Afterwards, Yuchi chatted with the Courtesan for a long time. Honestly, it’s Yuchi’s first time engaging with the Courtesan for a whole hour, without any wasted time. Clearly, the Courtesan is exceptional.
In the end, though Yuchi spent money, it was high-end spending, far superior to the mere physical encounters, which are filled with hurried, pushy service, essentially chasing money. Yet these are superficial experiences, feigning elegance.
There was no service attitude at all. Was this the distortion of the world or the loneliness of human nature? Yuchi strolled to the outside of the Yunxiang Pavilion.
Yin Shuang exclaimed excitedly: "Brother Chi, she’s so clever. No matter what questions you asked, she excellently answered. As a girl, I felt incredibly healed by her responses!"
Yuchi smiled: "She’s a professional. Don’t underestimate such skills, as they demand extensive harsh training. Human nature is inherently free-spirited, so confining it requires significant support through training."
Perhaps as Yin Shuang understood, Yuchi further explained: "For instance, Yin Shuang, Shuang’Er, you often nibble on my fingers and hit me, displaying your fundamental character."
"Laugh when happy, cry when sad, curse when dissatisfied. It’s quite different from the Courtesans."
"They must have faced many difficult guests, but no matter how challenging, they had to suppress their emotions to a certain extent, which is quite difficult."
