Chapter 1105: Chapter 322: Feng Zhaoyang Arc (5)
If we can settle this on the spot, let’s not delay until tomorrow, as the idea is impulsive consumption. Don’t give the customer a chance to think rationally; otherwise, if Yuchi goes home, sleeps for a night, and wakes up uninterested the next day, isn’t that a wasted opportunity for making money?
She gently pressed her hands on Yuchi’s shoulders as he prepared to leave: "Please wait here for a moment; I’ll help you communicate with Miss Qingyun."
"Is this alright? She seems quite tired," Yuchi said, feeling a bit reluctant.
"It’s fine; being tired is good!" The young lady winked at Yuchi and then cheerfully ran over to Miss Qingyun.
Yuchi’s face turned bright red, looking like someone inexperienced, an embarrassed singleton, sipping tea nervously.
Of course, Miss Qingyun’s appearance was a good thing; otherwise, the young lady might have fed him alcohol instead. This unique way of serving warm wine he couldn’t handle; you’re not my Song the Beauty, nor are you Changyi the Beauty, and Yuchi didn’t want to be taken advantage of. Mr. Yuchi is still quite gentlemanly.
In his gaze, Miss Qingyun simply communicated with the young lady. Indeed, she was a bit weary. To be honest, for a girl reaching the status of a Courtesan, she was very reluctant to develop further relationships with customers because it’s very bothersome. Some male customers are quite sensible, knowing that it’s just "playacting" without genuine emotions, but some customers are different.
There can be a strange sense of possessiveness.
When this possessiveness appears around a courtesan, it’s very annoying, especially if a courtesan becomes too good with a certain customer. After such a relationship occurs, that customer might view the courtesan as their precious treasure, like a prized chicken wing.
It’s very bothersome.
Then the customer might conflict with other incoming guests, putting the courtesan in a difficult position, which is quite uncomfortable.
Therefore, today Miss Qingyun had chatted with guests continuously for four hours, which is eight hours. For those who don’t know courtesans, they might think these four hours are just sitting and chatting without losing a piece of meat. But for the courtesan herself, it was a high-intensity mental labor.
Knowing which customer has what personality, what personality requires what method of handling, what method is best, and how to remember each guest, it all required long periods of mental exertion, causing Miss Qingyun to feel drowsy.
She planned to eat her beautifying supper and then go to rest.
"Sister Qingyun, this customer has already been here once today. He’s quite a good guest; just now, while drinking tea with our sisters, he was very calm. So it’s better if you receive him finally, as a favor to the sisters. Please?"
The young lady pleaded softly.
Miss Qingyun sighed inwardly.
Although Yunxiang Pavilion is a small place, it’s already a world of adults, and these social dynamics still need dealing with. Even if Miss Qingyun didn’t want to receive guests now, would she actually come into conflict with the young lady in the hall?
Otherwise, when others have guests in the future, they’ll leisurely introduce them to other courtesans, leaving her behind, which would be very troublesome. So once this situation arises, whether she accepts or not, she still has to accept it, hence it becomes a dead end. Naturally, there’s no need to put on a sulky face.
Miss Qingyun didn’t answer the young lady’s question. She simply finished the lotus seed soup in one sip and, amidst the young lady’s gratitude, smiled and nodded, then walked towards where Yuchi was. When she appeared before Yuchi, she whispered softly, bending over: "Sir, I greatly appreciate your recognition!"
"It’s already quite cold in January; please come upstairs with me. The upstairs rooms are very warm."
Yuchi, still looking like a bashful young man, nodded in embarrassment amidst the smiling young ladies beside him and shyly said: "Miss Qingyun, from the moment I saw you, I felt you are the presence from my dreams. So I’m really disturbing your rest."
Miss Qingyun had heard countless such cheesy words. Men, they love saying such sweet things to deceive women, though they don’t believe these words themselves. Only young girls get swept away by such deceit. Experienced hands like her have seen countless similar situations.
"It won’t be!"
"Please come!"
"We’ll talk all night!"
Then Yuchi was led upstairs by Miss Qingyun.
Day rules differ from night rules. Once midnight passes, all courtesans must finish with their current customer and go soak in the flower bath. Miss Qingyun did the same as she led Yuchi into a room upstairs, explaining what she would do afterward.
