Chapter 50: Bi Luo Chun and Zhang Mama

  "Ah, Prince Wang, it's been a few days since you last came. Why are you here so early today?" Just as the four of them had arrived at the entrance of the Drunken Moon Building, a clear and tender voice rang out, followed by the appearance of a woman who was dressed to the nines, with a full figure, heavily made-up face, waving a silk handkerchief in her hand, taking delicate steps to greet them, with a warm smile plastered on her face.

  "What's wrong? Auntie Zhang doesn't welcome her own son?" Wang Yun asked with feigned displeasure.

  "How could this be? Young Master Wang, you are so charming and elegant, capturing the hearts of all the girls in my brothel. If you don't come, how can those girls of mine survive?" Madam Zhang's handkerchief fluttered gently, stirring up a strong fragrance, her pale slender hands trembled as she grasped Wang Yan's shoulder, her smile vanished instantly, replaced by an expression that seemed to be on the verge of tears, her eyes gazing at Wang Yan with a deep resentment.

  Wang Yun shook his head and smiled: "Zhang Mama, the dishes at Drunken Moon Tower are really good. Today, this young master has come to drink with his brothers, so hurry up and prepare!" As he spoke, Wang Yun took out a gold ingot from his bosom and tossed it to Zhang Mama.

  Zhang's mother smiled and accepted it, her eyes filled with tears. Although she didn't have the youthful beauty of a young girl, her every move was full of mature charm that made one's heart skip a beat.

  "Oh, I wonder who this young master is? He's so handsome, it makes my heart skip a beat!" Zhang Mama's watery eyes fell on Gao Xing, filled with astonishment and curiosity.

  "Zhang's mother is really too hurtful, her eyes only have my brother's happiness." Wang Yun said with some disappointment.

  "Ah, oh, Master Wang, I was wrong, I was wrong!" As soon as she heard this, Zhang Mama's plump and soft body leaned half against Wang Yan's, her full chest squeezed into an enticing concave shape. At the same time, one of Zhang Mama's hands gently stroked his chest.

  Wang Yun smiled slyly, stroking the smooth and round chin of Zhang Mama: "Zhang Mama, your skin, tsk tsk!"

  "Disgusting!" Zhang's mother gently slapped away Wang Wei's palm, giving him a flirtatious glance that only made her more alluring.

  Wang Yongha laughed and gently patted Zhang's mother's plump buttocks with a crisp and loud sound.

  "Ah-hmm." A low hum escaped from Zhang Mama's throat, a faint pink flush appeared on her face, and a pleased yet shy expression emerged in her eyes, shining with a gentle light that seemed to melt people.

  Wang Yun laughed even more happily, his face revealing a look of extreme pleasure and satisfaction.

  Delighted, he felt a slight warmth in his lower abdomen and thought: This woman is so good at seducing people.

  Ah Da and Ah Er, standing behind Gao Xing and Wang Yan, were even more miserable. Their breathing was slightly heavy, and their eyes staring at Zhang Mama's eyes had a reddish glow.

  "Mother Zhang, hurry up and get ready to go down. In a few days, I really miss the dishes here!" Wang Yan said with a smile, his expression gentle.

  "I'm afraid it's not that I miss the food here, but rather that I miss my lovely daughter!" Zhang Mama rolled her eyes with a thousand emotions.

  Wang Yun stroked his nose, revealing a smile that men understand, and said "all have, all have". Zhang Mama hummed softly, threw a flirtatious glance at Gao Xing, then turned around to lead Gao Xing and Wang Yun into the house.

  Zhang's mother walked ahead, swaying her hips and swinging her buttocks, with a seductive gaze that left behind a trail of fragrance, making everyone's mouth dry and their hearts burn with desire. Ah Da and Ah Er stared blankly, constantly swallowing their saliva.

  "Good for nothing!" Hearing their commotion, Wang Yan suddenly felt embarrassed and turned to glare at Ah Da and Ah Er.

  A'Da and A'er both shrank their necks, not daring to look again. When Wang Yan turned his head away, they once more cast their gaze on that plump and fragrant body.

  Delighted had already understood that the Drunken Moon Building was a brothel, and this was his first time entering. Yes, in his past life he was a good baby, and at thirteen years old, he was still too young. Delighted was curious about how this place differed from those pleasure quarters of later generations, so he carefully observed everything.

  This Drunken Moon Building is indeed the most prestigious brothel in all of Ye City, not to mention its spacious grounds and grand entrance hall. The interior decorations are elegant and luxurious, making one feel delighted and at ease, without any hint that this place is actually a den of vice.

  Under the leadership of Lao Zhan's mother, the happy group arrived at a room on the third floor facing the main street.

  Wang Yun and Gao Xing sat down, after which Zhang's mother poured them tea and left the room with a gentle gait. As she was leaving, she still managed to throw a flirtatious glance at Gao Xing.

  "This Drunken Moon Building is really not bad, it's actually using chairs." Excitedly sitting on the wide, soft-backed chair, lightly sighing. This house is very bright and spacious, just looking at the furniture inside, whether it's tables and chairs or beds, they are all the most popular ones currently in fashion, which makes High Joy happy. Other decorations and furnishings, calligraphy paintings porcelain, are quite valuable, so one can imagine how substantial the funds for this entire Drunken Moon Building must be.

  "This Drunken Moon Building is the largest brothel in Ye City, earning a fortune every day, making many people envy and covet, but no one dares to cause trouble here. It's because its background is extremely mysterious and powerful. Rumor has it that this place is an imperial property, used by the emperor to select, train and cultivate women." Wang Yan finally put down his feather fan on the table, sipping tea while speaking in a very low voice.

  Delighted, he raised an eyebrow and understood in his heart that it was impossible to operate a tavern of this scale in Ye City, the center of power for Northern Qi, without powerful backing. Just thinking about the famous Tian Shang Ren Jian throughout the country would make one understand.

  Delighted to have taken a sip of tea, but his eyebrows slightly furrowed, Wang Yan stared at him in astonishment and asked: "Gao brother, is this tea not to your taste?"

  "Delightfully said with a slight nod: 'The taste is somewhat disappointing, though!'"

  "How is that possible?" Wang Yan said somewhat uncertainly, "This Drunken Moon Building can stand out on its own, not only because of its strong backing, beautiful women, but also because the dishes here are delicious, and the tea is fragrant. This Bi Luo Chun is top-grade tea, rarely found outside."

  Bi Luo Chun is produced in Jiangsu, on the shores of Dongting Lake, within the borders of Chen Guo. The city of Ye Cheng is located in the north, and it's extremely difficult to obtain this tea. From this, we can see that Jiu Yue Lou, whether or not it dominates Ye Cheng alone, indeed has its reasons.

  "Ah, this tea is indeed Bi Luo Chun, and it's a good tea, but the flavor hasn't been fully brought out."

  In the Tang Dynasty, Lu Yu's "Tea Classics" said: "Tea originated from Shennong and began with Lu Zhou Gong." China has a long history of drinking tea, which is said to have been discovered by Shennong for medicinal purposes. Although people had been drinking tea for a long time, it was not until the Northern and Southern Dynasties that tea was used as a beverage to entertain guests.

  Tea trees originated in the southwestern region, and after the Eastern Jin Dynasty moved south, tea began to rise, replacing wine used for guests, and entered people's lives. By the Tang Dynasty, Lu Yu summarized tea culture and tea history, driving the development of tea, until the Song Dynasty, when tea culture reached its peak. However, at that time, the tea-making craftsmanship was still relatively simple and backward, naturally inferior to the advanced craftsmanship of later generations, which seemed like a waste in retrospect.

  "Huh?" Wang Yan looked at Gao Xing in surprise and puzzlement.

  Delighted, he took another sip of tea and said softly: "This tea, the craftsmanship is a bit rough, so it affects the taste of the tea."

  "Is that so." Wang Yan was taken aback, "I don't know where there's better tea, but I'd like to try some."

  "There will be opportunities later, I'm glad to have drunk Hangzhou West Lake Longjing, which is slightly better than this Bi Luo Chun. Even now, I still feel the aftertaste lingering on my lips." said Gao Xing.

  "Rumors say West Lake in Hangzhou is exceptionally beautiful, but unfortunately it's Chen Guo's territory, and I'm not allowed to go." Wang Yan said with some disappointment.

  Delighted, Wang Yun continued to ask: "Brother Gao has returned from the front line, I wonder if you can tell me about the situation at the front. Although there are rumors brought by merchants who travel south and north on the streets, they will not be clearer than what Brother Gao knows."

  He happily nodded and began to talk about the war situation on the front line, focusing on Wang Lin's condition. When he heard that Wang Lin was in danger, Wang Yan became extremely tense, clenching his fists tightly. When he heard that the siege of Yangping had been lifted, he turned bright red with excitement, his emotions fluctuating wildly as the story unfolded.

  Delighted to have just spoken of Han Changliu's journey south to Xunyang, some beautiful young women appeared, carrying exquisite delicacies and fine fish dishes in a row.

  Looking at the steaming hot dishes with bright colors, he couldn't help but move his chopsticks eagerly. At this time, he was in a period of rapid growth, and after exercising in the morning without eating breakfast, he was dragged over by Wang Yan, so he was very hungry.
