Inside Xunhuanju, Gu Jue and Jiang Mu were sitting in the room.
Gu Jue was dressed in white, with an elegant demeanor and a cold face, but his appearance was completely different from his original appearance.
Xue Teng taught him the art of disguise, and at this moment Gu Jue looked completely different. Although he was still good-looking, he was much more serious and cold than himself, and he no longer had the aura of a gentle and noble man.
Jiang Mu still likes him the way he is.
Jiang Mu also changed her appearance today, but Gu Jue was surprised when he saw her.
Because she disguised herself into another person.
In fact, it wasn't really a disguise. Jiang Mu just put on some delicate makeup and didn't use the disguise technique taught by Xue Teng.
However, modern makeup technology, in ancient times, is indeed similar to disguise, because the eyes become bigger, the facial features become more three-dimensional, the face becomes smaller, and a teardrop mole is added under the corner of the eye, making it gorgeous and charming.
The face was already beautiful enough, and now just one look at it makes people's heart beat faster and make them fall in love with it.
The two men sat opposite each other, but Gu Jue's eyes were not on Jiang Mu's face.
Even he felt that Jiang Mu was too charming at this moment, and her every frown and smile seemed to be able to seduce people's souls away.
She wore a skirt that she had modified herself. It was coquettish but not wild, charming yet a little pure. Her makeup focused on her eyes, and her lips were indeed a light pink, making people dare not look into her eyes.
But if you look at her lips, your heart will be distracted.
"Okay, it's time for you to go out." Jiang Mu said with a smile.
Gu Jue took a deep breath.
He didn't know whether he should regret agreeing to Jiang Mu, but now that he was here, he couldn't go back on his word.
When Gu Jue stood up, he used almost all his strength.
When he walked out of here, he would no longer be Master Gu, one of the two most outstanding people in the capital, but the manager of Xunhuanju.
Yes, that's what Jiang Mu said. He said he was the manager, Jiang Mu was the master behind the scenes, and the part-time head of the courtesan.
When Gu Jue heard this, the self-control and composure he had maintained for more than twenty years almost disappeared. His face turned pale, and he argued with Jiang Mu for a long time, but was always retorted by Jiang Mu.
It was because he agreed before. Now that he has returned to the capital, it is no use saying he is unwilling.
…..
Li Zaoji arrived at the door of Xunhuanju.
He didn't expect that there would be a long queue of people lining up at the door.
The guard was stunned and said, "Is business so good?"
A fat man nearby heard this and said, "Isn't it? I heard that the four most beautiful courtesans will perform on the same stage tonight. Yanzhi from Zuiyan Tower, Xia Xiaolou from Hanxiang Tower, and Su Zhizhi from Yunxiang Tower are all stunning beauties. It's hard to see even one of them, let alone all three of them."
The guard asked, "The four most beautiful courtesans? What about the other one?"
"There is another one whose name is not mentioned. She is not Xu Mengniang from Liuyun Pavilion, but she is said to be more beautiful than the other three courtesans. No one has ever seen her."
"Yes, yes, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people lining up. It's worth the fifty taels of silver to be able to see the three most beautiful courtesans at once. I wonder what the prettier one looks like."
The guard frowned: "What? Fifty taels?"
"Yes, you don't know. The admission ticket to Xun Huan Ju tonight is fifty taels per person."
Li Zaoji smiled lightly when he heard this. This Xunhuanju is interesting.
Fifty taels per person, and with so many people that night, I'm afraid there would be over a thousand taels.
The guard whispered to Li Zaoji, "Why don't you just rob it? Fifty taels is too much."
Li Zaoji smiled and shook his head. "It's a lot, but the more it is, the more people are curious about what is in this Xunhuan Building that is worth the fifty taels entrance fee. However, this trick will only be used once on the opening night."
Guard: "Sir, shall we go in?"
"Come in, why not? I also want to see how beautiful these four courtesans are. Don't men spend a fortune on beauties? Not to mention the four beauties." Li Zaoji looked up at the third floor of Xunhuanju. There was a window that was open, and a figure with a slim figure was standing in front of the window.
At this time, another group of people came from not far away.
And Murong Yan was among them.
Murong Yan looked at the surging crowd in front of him and whispered to the man beside him, "Brother, do you really want to go in?"
"Go, why not? I went on a secret visit today and didn't expect to encounter such an interesting thing." Murong Heng smiled faintly, "Why? You don't want to go in?"
Murong Yan said: "If my royal brother wants to go, I will naturally accompany him."
Murong Heng patted his shoulder with a fan and said, "Didn't I tell you not to call me like that outside?"
Murong Yan: "Second brother."
"That's right, fourth brother, let's go." Murong Heng walked forward with a smile, and the guards beside him opened a path for him.
Murong Yan hurriedly followed.
The two of them stood in the crowd and soon became the focus. Murong Heng looked here and there, nudged Murong Yan, and whispered, "Look, isn't that the son of the Minister of Rites?"
Murong Yan took a look and said, "Yes."
"Hey, and that one, isn't it Guanglu Dafu and Shangshu Zhusi Shilang?"
Murong Yan wiped the sweat off his face and said, "Yes."
Murong Heng nodded thoughtfully.
"You can enter now."
Someone up ahead struck a gong and shouted.
The crowd quickly rushed forward, and soon it was Murong Yan and Murong Heng's turn.
After entering, Murong Yan showed the token of Prince Cheng's Mansion, and the two were taken to a private room on the second floor.
Jiang Mu also got the news at the first time.
She didn't expect to see Murong Yan on the first night.
He couldn't have come alone. After hearing someone describe the appearance of the person who was traveling with him, Jiang Mu was stunned and thought of someone, but she couldn't be sure.
No way, is it so exciting?
Jiang Mu suddenly became full of anticipation for the performance soon.
She didn't know whether Murong Yan could recognize her. She asked Xue Teng, and Xue Teng said she couldn't recognize her. She also felt that even if she looked familiar, Murong Yan would never have thought that his wife would appear here.
Jiang Mu stood up and looked at herself in the mirror, then picked up a veil and covered her face, leaving only her eyes exposed. The veil was very transparent, and her appearance could be vaguely seen. In this way, the focus would be on her eyes.
Those charming eyes are enough to make people indulge.
At this time, the door of Xunhuanju was closed.
This is the rule set by Jiang Mu. He will only entertain so many people every day, and will not accept any more guests when the time comes.
Li Zaoji was one of the last few people to come in.
There were no seats left on the second floor, so he could only sit in the corner of the first floor with the guards.
The first floor was much noisier than the second floor, as everyone was discussing who was the most beautiful courtesan tonight.
Those sitting on the second floor were either rich or noble. Murong Heng looked at the audience leisurely, unlike Murong Yan, who was wondering when he could go back.
He had promised Huanruo to have dinner with her, but now he was going to break his promise.
