Calling a driver, she braved the heavy rain in a carriage, her mind in turmoil, unsure of where to go. The destination that eventually came to mind surprised even herself, for she suddenly realized that besides Bamboo Restaurant and her home with Sister Yunzhu, the only place she could think of was Golden Wind Brothel.

Qingyuan was not far from Golden Wind Brothel. After giving the destination, the carriage sped through the heavy rain. Before she could think it through or change her mind, they had arrived. However, Yuan Jin'er was a decisive person. Since she was already there and someone else was driving, she jumped out of the carriage and went through the gate.

In fact, since Bamboo Restaurant expanded, there had been some contact with Golden Wind Brothel. Jin'er would occasionally come over. But this was the first time she had come running when she felt homeless. It was still afternoon, and there were not many customers in Golden Wind Brothel. She was in a bad mood. As soon as she entered, she shouted loudly that she wanted to drink flower wine. The girls and pimps in the brothel mostly knew her, and they rushed up to greet her, calling out, "Sister Jin'er, Sister Jin'er."

By the time Madam Yang Xiuhong of Golden Wind Brothel arrived, one side of the brothel was already bustling. She thought a big spender had suddenly come, but when she heard that "Young Master Bao'er" had come and was clamoring for all the girls to accompany her, she was furious. She grabbed a feather duster and charged toward the Heavenly Room where the commotion was.

The Heavenly Room was in chaos, with the莺声笑语 of many women mixed together. Jin'er was wantonly joking with the women nearby in the room, taking a wine jar and drinking it herself, and laughing as she tried to pour wine on the women next to her, deliberately spilling the wine on their chests, wetting their clothes. The women naturally didn't mind, feigning resistance before joining in the revelry.

They were already familiar with Yuan Jin'er. Although they didn't know what medicine Jin'er had taken today, running over and saying she wanted to drink flower wine, they were much more interested in hanging out with their former sisters than entertaining the patrons. Everyone came out to relax. Some giggled, some asked Jin'er how her store was doing now and whether she wanted to buy her over, and some older ones asked Jin'er what was on her mind. Jin'er just giggled and poured them wine. When Madam Yang rushed in waving the feather duster,啪啪啪 slapping people, the women screamed and scattered like birds and beasts.

"Rebellious, rebellious... Making trouble here before it's even night, who let you out... Get back inside!"

The room was crowded with women. Madam Yang charged in from the door. Everyone wanted to escape, but the door seemed too small. Many people were slapped solidly a few times. The two women next to Jin'er got up to escape, but Jin'er grabbed them. The three of them sat down on the bench behind them, and then the bench fell, and they all fell to the ground. The two women rolled over to escape, but Jin'er rolled over and grabbed them tightly.

"Don't go, don't go, I called you here, you're not allowed to go!"

"Yuan Jin'er, are you itching for a beating, coming to wreck my place..."

"Ah... ah... ah... Jin'er, let me go..."

In the chaos, Jin'er was already a little drunk. She grabbed the skirts of the two women on the ground, not letting them go. Madam Yang had already rushed over. One of the top courtesans of Golden Wind Brothel's skirt was messed up, revealing her underpants. Jin'er grabbed and tore them off, exposing half of her white buttocks. The courtesan slapped Jin'er's hand that was grabbing her pants, crying and laughing. Madam Yang rushed over and whipped her desperately with the feather duster. The first hit landed squarely on her buttocks, and the second hit landed on Jin'er's hand. This time she escaped, pulled up her pants, adjusted her skirt, and ran away crying.

"I have money! I have money! I paid! Yang Xiuhong, you're hitting people! I'm going to... uh, sue you!"

"Where's the money! Do you know how much money it takes! You spendthrift!"

"It's here, I like to waste it! None of your business!" Jin'er fumbled in her clothes, then took out an embroidered pouch and threw it at Madam Yang, "Take it all! Take it all!"

Madam Yang caught the pouch in her hand, opened it, and saw a few scattered silver ingots inside, totaling more than ten taels, the rest were two silver notes, she looked at them in her hand, each worth five taels. Twenty-odd taels of silver was a small fortune in ordinary families, but what could it be in Golden Wind Brothel? Yang Xiuhong picked up the silver and silver notes in the pouch and slammed them all on the table: "You really came to wreck my place, twenty-odd taels... That's just the money for you to dance once, and you dare to drink... What are you looking at, all of you get out of here!"

Madam Yang scolded Yuan Jin'er, then roared at the girls inside and outside the door. The women quickly closed the door and ran away. Jin'er staggered to her feet: "No money? If I don't have money, I'll just pawn myself here and go out to entertain guests!"

Before she could finish speaking, Madam Yang whipped her on the butt with the feather duster: "You, you, you... You've already left, and you still come back and say such things... You're crazy today, you took the wrong medicine!"

Yuan Jin'er swayed after being hit, standing there pursing her lips without moving. Madam Yang sat at the table and glared at her, then slammed the table hard: "What's wrong? Tell me." Her tone was a little kinder now.

Jin'er shuffled to the table and sat down, pouting for a long time before saying, "I've thought about it, I want to come back and be a prostitute—"

Before she could finish speaking, Madam Yang slapped her headlessly with the feather duster: "What prostitute! What prostitute! You think it's fun to be one! If you don't tell me what's wrong, I'll beat you to death today! You called girls to eat and drink here and dare not pay, don't you run—" Madam Yang was really playing for real, Jin'er naturally didn't dare to hold on any longer, screaming and running around the table.

"I came to spend money, you hit people... Old woman who no one will ever want..."

"I'm not someone no one wants, someone wanted me long ago... Don't run, see if I don't beat you to death..."

"Ahhhhhhhhh..."

"I told you not to go sell that whatever-it-is, you have the life of a young mistress... Later, I was happy for you when you really made some progress, and now you want to come back... You death-seeking woman, if you haven't been wanted by someone, you don't know how dangerous the world is..."

"Sister Yunzhu is getting married!"

"Uh... Ah? That's a good thing."

Jin'er cried out that sentence, and Madam Yang was slightly stunned before reacting: "Of course it's a good thing for Yunzhu to get married! Why are you reacting so strongly! You can't live without her if she gets married!"

"I like Sister Yunzhu!"

"Bullshit! Don't play this game in front of me!"

"But I only went out because of Sister Yunzhu... Sister Yunzhu is suddenly getting married, what am I going to do! Am I supposed to live alone in that small building, manage Bamboo Restaurant alone... What am I going to do when she gets married, I'm not as capable as Sister Yunzhu..."

Jin'er paused slightly after crying out these words. Madam Yang stared at her, sat down at the table, and put down the feather duster: "Come and sit... You thought Yunzhu would accompany you for the rest of your life. I told you long ago, this is a good thing, a woman should always find a suitable person to marry, you should be happy for her... Tell me, what kind of man did she find?"

Although she initially asked for money, Yang Xiuhong took the initiative to pour her a glass of wine at this time. Jin'er came over and drank the wine angrily. After a moment of silence, she finally opened her mouth and began to talk about Yunzhu and Ning Yi. Madam Yang listened, pouring wine, drinking herself, and letting Jin'er drink too. In fact, both of them had very good alcohol tolerance from mixing in such an environment. Jin'er was just emotionally agitated and not really drunk.

"Sounds like a pretty good man, it's a good thing Yunzhu has such a destiny." After she finished roughly, Madam Yang said, holding the wine cup, "You will also meet a very good man in the future, and then marry yourself off!"

"I haven't seen any good men!" Jin'er retorted decisively.

Madam Yang glanced at her, "Don't speak too soon..."

Jin'er felt that there was more to her words, but she was too lazy to delve into it at this time, drinking one cup after another. Yang Xiuhong accompanied her in drinking: "No matter what, it's always a good thing for Yunzhu to get married... I can't go to congratulate her, so let's drink here for her." Jin'er muttered and mumbled for a while, and Madam Yang said, "Have you had enough to drink?"

"Well, I'm a little drunk."

"Then get out of here quickly! Don't disturb me doing business!" Yang Xiuhong picked up the feather duster and slapped it on the table again, scaring Jin'er to jump back.

"The money for you to drink and call girls today will all be charged to Bamboo Restaurant's account. I'll send someone to collect it in a few days! Don't even think about reneging! You've already left Golden Wind Brothel, so don't think about coming back, Golden Wind Brothel doesn't have this rule! You're not welcome here! Get out!"

Jin'er looked at her aggrievedly, looking like she was about to cry. Yang Xiuhong stood there and didn't know what to do. Then Jin'er came over and hugged her gently, burying her head in her arms. Yang Xiuhong patted her shoulder, finally retracting her fierce expression: "You can come back and walk around if you feel bored, talk to me, but don't call girls again..."

"Madam Yang..." Jin'er said softly, "How can you not have a man with such big breasts..."

"You're courting death—" A loud shout suddenly came from Golden Wind Brothel, and then Jin'er, with tears in her eyes, ran madly out of the building, laughing. Yang Xiuhong chased after her with the feather duster, until she ran out of the gate, she stood in the rain and provoked Yang Xiuhong. After a while, the carriage came, she got into the carriage, and the provocative look on her face disappeared. She was soaked, but it was unclear whether the water on her face was water or tears. The throbbing in her heart had calmed down slightly, but it was only at this time that she suddenly understood that she had always thought she was protecting Sister Yunzhu, supporting Sister Yunzhu from behind, but in fact she had always been relying on Sister Yunzhu, watching how she lived and living, how she worked hard and working hard. Once Sister Yunzhu got married, she had no goal. She understood this, and then suddenly cried.

The carriage gradually moved away. At the entrance of Golden Wind Brothel, Madam Yang waved the feather duster in her hand and sighed: "I'm just listening to what you said... If you think he's very bad, how can I think he's good... Really like a pig..."

Jin'er couldn't hear these words anymore. When she returned to Qingyuan, the rain had lessened a lot. Jin'er tidied herself up a bit and went to find Sister Yunzhu. After inquiring, she learned that Ning Yi had just left not long ago. She went to the accounting room and gently pushed open the door. She saw Sister Yunzhu leaning against the bedside, thinking about something. Seeing her come in, her face was flushed and she smiled slightly.

There was a slight lingering scent in the room. Jin'er had stayed in Golden Wind Brothel for so long, and she smelled it as soon as she entered. She stopped at the door, watching as a piece had been cut from the bed sheet over there. The cloth was now being held in Sister Yunzhu's hand, with spots of crimson on it, like winter plum blossoms blooming.

"Sister Yunzhu... You... You..."

Yunzhu nodded. Jin'er's nose soured: "You... are you really getting married?"

"No..." She shook her head, then smiled, "I've already given myself to him, and then... maybe I should leave. Jin'er, haven't you always said you wanted to see my hometown? We'll... go there in the future."

Jin'er was stunned for a long time, then suddenly reacted and nodded: "Okay! That's great!"

The difficult problem that had been lingering in her heart was suddenly resolved. Although such a development was indeed puzzling, Jin'er was happy and naturally wouldn't ask more questions at this time. It would be best if Sister Yunzhu decided to leave, far away from that Ning Yi. She didn't want Bamboo Restaurant either, she didn't want anything. It didn't matter, with her following, everything would still be the same as before.

They returned home together. The rain stopped in the evening, and the air was crisp and cold. Jin'er hummed a song and packed things at home. Yunzhu packed the cloth at the bottom of the package, then sat quietly on the outdoor terrace to watch the water. When Jin'er went over, the dim yellow lantern on the terrace swayed gently, illuminating Yunzhu's thin figure sitting there. She was humming something softly in the darkness. When Jin'er looked over, she could see her gentle, lingering smile.

Having been together for so long, Jin'er naturally understood that Sister Yunzhu was thinking about Ning Yi. On this terrace, they had sat here together many times, sang songs, danced, chased and fought and made noise. Ning Yi even kissed Sister Yunzhu on this terrace. She understood Sister Yunzhu's character, and that was why she couldn't understand her decision to leave. If she really left, would Sister Yunzhu be happy... and Ning Yi...

This matter lingered in her heart and became a new trouble for a while, but she did not ask that night. The next morning, Jiangning was foggy. Since Yunzhu's maid, Hetao, had already married, she didn't plan to take her with her this time. She only left a letter at home, asking the couple to take care of Bamboo Restaurant temporarily. Preparing to leave were only Yunzhu, Jin'er, and Jin'er's maid, Kou'er. (To be continued.) Please vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
