Bra on the Runway, Models in a Brothel ( Part 1 )

"So," he said, "I'll hum the rhythm and you write it down. Let's practice it first to see what tune it is. I can't quite remember it myself."

Bian Yujing, Gu Meisheng, and Kou Baimen immediately went to their rooms and fetched their guzheng, pipa, and jade flute. After humming the melody a few times, Mu Linfeng listened to the three musicians practice it repeatedly until they played it perfectly. Although it lacked the feeling of modern music, it had a unique flavor.

Seizing the opportunity, Mu Linfeng immediately had the girls and the three musicians rehearse it together. It was quite decent, like an amateur model team. Mu Linfeng couldn't help but secretly praise himself as a genius, admiring the girls' reactions and talents. He thought that these people could leave behind stories in the late Ming Dynasty, and that people would sing their praises endlessly, which was not a coincidence.

Mu Linfeng supervised the girls' repeated practice, not because he was afraid of stage fright at night, and this was not a special press conference. Even if there were some small mistakes, it would not be a big deal. But Mu Linfeng was a typical perfectionist and wanted to meet his own requirements.

Mu Linfeng felt a little uncomfortable seeing the girls wearing embroidered bras on their upper bodies and Kun pants on their lower bodies, but he couldn't quite put his finger on why. He couldn't possibly ask them to wear triangle panties or thongs now. Mu Linfeng thought to himself, "I have to let these people adapt for a while, and then gradually develop other things."

After monitoring the girls' runway and catwalk for a while, and listening to Bian Yujing, Kou Baimen, and Gu Meisheng play the music once more, Mu Linfeng finally came downstairs to supervise the stage construction.

It was almost noon when Xu Erniang sent up food and drinks, and invited Mu Linfeng and the brothers to dine with the girls of Chunxiang Tower.

After the meal, Mu Linfeng asked one of the brothers to go back and tell Wu Xing, Chen Yuanyuan, and Zheng Lianxiang that he was busy with business outside, instructing him not to say that he was in a brothel, especially not to let Su Duxiu know.

The entire afternoon, Mu Linfeng stayed in the Chunxiang Tower, supervising the rehearsal and stage construction on both floors. By four in the afternoon, the stage was completed, extending from the half-platform of the stairs to the entrance of the lobby, five meters away. Mu Linfeng asked Xu Erniang to bring a red carpet to cover the entire stage, all the way to the door of the dressing room on the second floor, which had already been designated as the makeup room. To avoid disrupting business in the evening, Mu Linfeng also instructed Xu Erniang to clean up a small staircase that had already been closed off, so that guests could go up and down the stairs at night. He also had lanterns hung above the stage, intending to focus all the lighting in the lobby on the stage.

On both sides of the stairs, at the half-platform, Mu Linfeng set up a seat on each side for the so-called notary public to attend when someone calls for bids at night. He also placed neat chairs on both sides of the stage for the clients to sit on. In front of these chairs, closest to the stage, he set up a row of tables and chairs on each side, intended for the wealthy and rich merchants.

Xu Erniang saw that Mu Linfeng was working diligently, personally directing everything in the field, and couldn't help but doubt whether he was really the young master of the Mu Mansion. Although the Mu Mansion was not as rich as the royal family, it was still a local power. She found it strange that she had never heard of these things that he had organized, let alone seen them.

Xu Erniang transformed the entire Chunxiang Tower and was a little worried whether she had entrusted Mu Linfeng with full responsibility at the beginning. If the effect turned out to be counterproductive at night, it would be a complete loss. However, it seemed that Mu Linfeng had done a good job of creating new and strange things, and the business was likely to be good. Even the clients wearing chest tattoos felt like they were back to their younger days, more than ten years ago.

After everything was prepared, Mu Linfeng ordered all his brothers to leave to avoid overcrowding at Chunxianglou and unnecessary trouble. The brothers were disappointed because they had planned to monitor the situation in the evening.

In the evening, Mu Linfeng finished his meal at Chunxianglou and instructed Xu Erniang to hang a sign at the door, announcing a big discount for the night. He also asked the girls to wear embroidered bras and put on makeup, and wait in the dressing room. In addition, he arranged several tables and chairs on both sides of the stairs from the main hall to the second floor, with guzheng, pipa, and jade flute for the three girls to perform later.

In the evening, Mu Linfeng heard the noise at the door of Chunxianglou and realized that many guests had become impatient waiting. He immediately asked Xu Erniang to prepare to open the door and welcome the guests.

As soon as the door opened, the guests outside rushed in, shoulder to shoulder. Xu Erniang stood on the stage and shouted, "Everyone has a seat, no need to crowd."

Xu Erniang had been running her brothel for more than ten years, but had never seen such a rush before. Although there were many guests before, it was not as crowded as it was now.

Xu Erniang ordered her staff to serve the guests, and at that moment, a group of people rushed in, pushing the other three guests aside. Mu Linfeng leaned over the railing on the second floor and saw clearly, thinking, "This must be an important person."

Indeed, it was. Xu Erniang immediately stepped down from the stage and stood at the door, waiting. The noisy atmosphere in the lobby suddenly became serious. Just then, a man walked in from the door, dressed in fine clothes and looking very noble and handsome. Xu Erniang immediately smiled and said, "Little Prince, you've come."

Mu Linfeng's heart trembled when he heard this and he stood up straight, thinking, "Could this be Zhu Yousong?"

He heard the man chuckle and put his arm around Xu Erniang's shoulder. "Erniang, I heard that there is a wonderful performance in the Spring Fragrance Tower today, and I came to see it specially."

It seemed that this man was familiar with Xu Erniang. She immediately led him to the VIP seat, let him sit down, and said with a smile, "You've come at the right time, Xiao Wangye. Just wait and see."

The man smiled and said nothing. He whispered a few words to someone behind him, and that person immediately walked to the door and said to the people who were blocking the way, "Xiao Wangye wants you to wait outside." As soon as he finished speaking, the group of people immediately left the lobby.

At this moment, three people walked in through the door. The first one was surprisingly Kong Wu, followed by a middle-aged man who was Mr. Feng, and another young man whom Mu Linfeng recognized but couldn't remember where he had seen him before. As soon as Mr. Feng entered the door, Xu Erniang had already greeted him and brought him to Zhu Youzong's side. Mr. Feng bowed to Zhu Youzong and said, "I didn't expect Xiao Wangye to be so interested today?"
