"May I ask where you gentlemen are from?"
"Naturally, the Imperial City."
Li Yunshang, dressed in white, held her head high and puffed out her chest.

She was disguised as a refined young master, and although her appearance had some feminine features, she possessed a heroic spirit.
Her every move carried a sense of dashing freedom, and the fan in her hand made a swishing sound as she waved it.
When the pimp heard Li Yunshang say that they were from the Imperial City, a look of fear and trepidation appeared on his face.
He bent his waist even lower and said, "Esteemed guests, please come inside!"
Li Yunshang giggled and took the lead in entering this Spring Breeze Pavilion.
Following behind was Yan Gongli, disguised as a young man, with Mo Xiang, dressed as a servant, by his side, and finally Jiang Wen.
All four of them were exceptionally handsome, and their entry into the Spring Breeze Pavilion attracted a lot of attention.
Whether it was the pleasure-seeking patrons or the charming girls offering their affections, they all stared in amazement at the four, wondering about their origins.
The madam of this Spring Breeze Pavilion, dressed in a bright red floral dress, fluttered down the stairs like a butterfly towards the four.
"Oh, my dear young masters, what a rare treat.
I've never seen you esteemed young masters before.
Have you come to Suzhou for pleasure?"
The madam said with a smile, although she was already old, one could still see her former charm.
She was about to pounce on Li Yunshang, who was in the lead, but saw Li Yunshang avoid her with disgust, using her fan to cover her face.
In the end, the madam could only stand awkwardly in front of Jiang Wen and bowed to him, saying, "Esteemed sirs, is this perhaps your first time visiting our Spring Breeze Pavilion?"
The woman, draped in clothes, sobbed with her head lowered, wiping away her tears and looking at Jiang Wen with tearful eyes, nodding while biting her lower lip.
"An official's daughter? Heh."
Jiang Wen smiled, looking at the girl, and said, "Let it be her."
"This, of course, is possible!"
The madam snatched the gold, playing with it in her hand, and the smile on her face grew even wider.
"Don't mention a private room, even ten or a hundred, we can satisfy you, young master!"
The madam lightly brushed Jiang Wen's shoulder with her handkerchief, turned around and shouted into the house.
"Girls! Come out and greet the guests!"
"Take it."
Jiang Wen threw her a silver ingot.
"My surname is Wen, and my given name is Qinghong,"
the woman replied softly.
Jiang Wen glanced over the crowd and was about to say something when Li Yunshang had already chosen a girl to accompany her.
Seeing this, he ignored her, but his expression was slightly serious.
Saying that, she hurried forward, wanting to pull the woman away.
The woman refused, and as they struggled, her sleeve tore, and the woman plunged into Jiang Wen's arms.
"My lord is…"
Wen Qinghong said softly.
"Thank you, young master, for saving my life just now."
"Wen Qinghong? What a beautiful name."
Jiang Wen said with a smile.
"My name also has the character 'Wen' in it, which is the same as yours, so meeting now can be considered fate."
His gaze swept over the women, and the women responded shyly.
Jiang Wen said gently.
"My two brothers and I have just arrived in Suzhou and would like to experience the gentle waters and fragrant flowers of Suzhou."
"What is your name?"
Jiang Wen asked.
The patrons downstairs all stood up, looking at the many women walking down with greedy expressions in their eyes.
"You old hag!"
To set up a memorial arch in this Spring Breeze Pavilion!
I paid for it, so I should enjoy it!"
The man was about to reach out and pull the woman back, but his hand was grabbed in mid-air.
Just as he was about to say something, he saw Jiang Wen looking at him calmly, and there seemed to be endless terror in those eyes.
"Oh, my! Those young masters have come to the right place!
My Spring Breeze Pavilion is a famous place for pleasure in the entire Suzhou city!
Not to mention within a hundred miles, even dignitaries far away in the Imperial City will run to my place."
The madam said with a smile, and then Jiang Wen took out a gold ingot and handed it to her.
Jiang Wen naturally ignored her and followed the madam to the private room.
Just as he was walking up the stairs, he heard a commotion not far away.
A woman with disheveled clothes and a face full of shame and anger ran out.
Behind her, a man with a naked upper body roared, "You old hag!
Stop putting on airs for me!
I must get you today!"
Then he shook his head and left, unwilling to stay for another moment.
"Okay, everything will be as you wish, young master!"
The madam said with a smile, and then stared at the girl.
"Serve the young master well, and if he is not satisfied, you can forget about having a good life in the future.
Now that you've entered my Spring Breeze Pavilion, do you still think you're a young lady from a noble family?"
The madam looked at all this, looked at the girl, and then looked at Jiang Wen, smiling obsequiously, "Young master, this girl is new to our Spring Breeze Pavilion.
She is the daughter of an official's family, and she is still a virgin, with a very strong personality.
If you dislike her, we can change her for you."
"Go."
The madam said.
The man caught it, and his expression softened a lot.
He weighed the silver ingot and glared at the woman, "Consider yourself lucky."
A shout, accompanied by countless responses from upstairs.
The Spring Breeze Pavilion was brightly lit, with red silk and satin, and flourishing flowers.
Footsteps sounded, and countless women dressed in red and green came down in succession like crucian carp.
On the other side, Li Yunshang had also chosen a girl to accompany him, and raised his eyebrows at Jiang Wen with a girl on each arm.
The madam's eyes straightened immediately, staring blankly at the gold ingot, unwilling to leave it for even half a moment.
She heard Jiang Wen's tempting voice in her ear: "Old Mama, find us a private room, the kind with a wide view, and this gold ingot will be considered a deposit."
"I paid for it!"
It is said: The beauty of the world is endless, and thousands of reds and purples come to tread on the beauty.
The madam walked to the ladies, smiled at Jiang Wen and said: "Young master, look.
These are the treasures of our Spring Breeze Pavilion, and they are all here now.
You can pick whichever one you fancy, it will be their blessing."
The few people came to the private room, and after the tea and fruit plates were served, Li Yunshang was amused by the two girls who were serving him.
As for Yan Gongli, she was drinking tea and eating snacks with Mo Xiang, looking like she had no desires.
"Oh, young master has a good eye.
This is our Spring Breeze Pavilion's top courtesan, called Cuiyu.
Since the young master is satisfied with her, let Cuiyu serve the young master well."
The madam said with a smile, pointing to the woman named Cuiyu and telling her to come out and serve.
Dozens of women stood in front of the four, each with a different demeanor, like commodities waiting to be selected.
And Jiang Wen drank wine with Cuiyu, and by the way, looked at the girl.
"It's okay, it's just a small effort."
Jiang Wen said.
He drank a glass of wine, and then looked at Wen Qinghong.
"Which family's daughter are you, girl?
And what happened that forced you to fall into this kind of place?
I observe that the girl's conversation and demeanor do not seem like an ordinary official's daughter."
When Wen Qinghong heard this, she was silent for a while before saying: "My father was once the prefect of Suzhou…"
