Chapter 458 You Dare to Go to the Brothel
Lin Dasheng's face flushed red from the crowd's ridicule, and he shouted at the top of his voice, "Who said I'm no longer capable?"
At this moment, a woman with a figure as delicate as a willow swaying in the wind walked up to him and said in a voice so gentle that water could drip out of it: "Brother, don't be angry. I will drink with you to calm you down."
As she spoke, she leaned gently against him and stretched out her delicate hand to pour wine for him.
A girl in a pink silk dress also came over with lotus steps, her eyes moving with a bit of charm: "Brother, I'm here! I will definitely make you happy."
At first, there was a hint of resistance in Lin Dasheng's eyes, his gaze was evasive, and his body unconsciously shrank back.
But after a few drinks, he started to get drunk, his eyes started to become blurry, and his originally tense nerves slowly relaxed.
His hands began to move out of control, gradually wandering freely on the body of the woman beside him, with an intoxicated expression on his face.
The sound of stringed instruments rang out slowly, and in this charming atmosphere, everyone was toasting each other, laughing and having fun.
Lin Dasheng was completely immersed in it, enjoying the highest-level service in the brothel, forgetting all his worries and indulging himself.
It was not until the next day that Lin Dasheng woke up slowly, feeling dizzy and the hangover headache made him groan.
Hualou's mother had been waiting by the side for a long time. When she saw him wake up, she immediately smiled and said in a shrill voice:
"Oh, Mr. Lin, you're awake! You really enjoyed your stay with us last night!
The total cost for this evening is two thousand taels of silver. Would you like to pay the bill now?"
When Lin Dasheng heard the number 2000 taels, he felt dizzy and the blood drained from his face in an instant, turning it as pale as paper.
His lips trembled slightly, and he stammered, "What? How much? 2000 taels? I... I just ordered two girls, there's no way this price can be that high, right?"
The madam had a half-smile on her face, her eyes shrewd and calculating, and she said slowly:
"Last night, you guys were so lively that you ordered more than 20 girls!
He ordered a few bottles of my best wine, which are all fine wines shipped from the Western Regions and not available to ordinary people.
We even specially invited a group of musicians to perform for you. With so much money added up, how could it not be worth the price?
Since you come here so often, I even gave you a small discount!"
Lin Dasheng subconsciously touched his pocket, his voice becoming weaker: "I don't have that much money on me."
My mother still had that seemingly kind smile on her face, but her tone was unquestionable: "Then we'll go back with you to get it. It's only 2000 taels of silver. Looking at your style, I believe you can definitely come up with it."
After saying that, he waved his hand, and several strong men surrounded him and stood beside Lin Dasheng, with the intention of escorting him.
Lin Dasheng's face turned pale when he thought about taking the people from the brothel home to get the money and thought about Bai Qian's reaction after she knew about it.
But the madam didn't care about his inner torment at all and had someone carry him to the Bai family.
As soon as I reached the door of my house, I heard Bai Qian angrily cursing in the house:
"I just scolded him a few times yesterday, but he didn't even come home today. This Lin Dasheng is such a loser!
Do you still have this home in your eyes? "
Ding Xiang next to her also echoed:
"That's right, no matter what, I have to tell you if I'm not going home!
I don't know where he went to fool around. It's really unexpected. My son-in-law usually looks quite honest."
Lin Dasheng walked into the house with a stiff upper lip. He coughed unnaturally twice and said, "My wife, please quickly give me 2000 taels of silver. I was negotiating business with someone last night and accidentally spent a little too much."
Bai Qian stood up suddenly, clenched her hands into fists, and screamed:
"Lin Dasheng, are you crazy? Who are you talking to about business? Where does it cost 2000 taels of silver to talk about business?
Do you know what 2000 taels of silver means? I just spent over 5 taels of silver on you yesterday.
My family is almost broke, and you're asking me to take out 2000 taels today. How am I supposed to get it together?"
The people standing nearby in the brothel became impatient.
The leader crossed his arms over his chest with a sneer on his face, and behind him, a dozen burly men were staring at him covetously.
The leader said viciously:
“If we don’t get the money today, we won’t leave.
We at Hua Man Lou have never had such a thing as eating and dodging meals. Don't even think about cheating. It's absolutely impossible!"
When Bai Qian heard the word "Flower House", her blood immediately surged.
She turned her head and gritted her teeth:
"How dare you go to a brothel! You...what do you think of this family? What do you think of me?
I work so hard for this family, but you're just living a life of luxury and squandering money! Are you being worthy of me?"
The leader, with a face full of flesh, shouted in a hoarse voice:
"Are you going to pay me back? If you don't, I'll destroy your house today.
And your wife is so beautiful, if she were to be sold to our brothel as a courtesan, we would definitely make a lot of money!"
In this chaotic moment, Bai Nian walked in from the door, and before he could react, he was hugged by a strong man.
The strong man showed an obscene smile on his face and shouted:
"Hey, this is the young master of the family, right?
If you don't have money, you can use this young master to pay off your debts."
Bai Nian was so scared that his face turned pale, his eyes were filled with tears, and he struggled desperately.
Bai Qian was struck by lightning when she saw this scene. She could only grit her teeth and shout at the top of her lungs, "I don't have any money, but I only have a farm, and that farm is definitely worth 2000 taels of silver!"
After saying that, she staggered into the house and took out the land deed of the manor, her hands shaking so much that she could hardly hold it.
The man from the brothel snatched the deed away, glanced at it briefly, and after confirming that it was correct, he walked away laughing.
Bai Qian looked at their departing backs, her legs went limp, and she collapsed to the ground. A mouthful of blood spurted out of her mouth, splashing onto the ground, a shocking sight.
When Huangmao heard the news, he told Mrs. Bai everything.
Madam Bai slowly shook her head and murmured to herself:
“I used to think Lin Dasheng was a coward who didn’t know how to protect his wife and children.
But now, this person seems wrong no matter how you look at him, Qiaoniang! What the Lin family did to you before doesn't seem to be a bad thing.
Let you escape from the sea of suffering sooner."
Zhao Qiaoniang patted her chest and said, "This man's behavior is indeed bad. I don't know how he became like this now."
Mrs. Bai said thoughtfully:
"As the saying goes, a dazzling array of flowers dazzles the eyes. Lin Dasheng had always lived in that remote place and had never seen the prosperity of Bianjing.
Now that he has arrived in this dazzling and glamorous Bianjing, the people, things, and objects he encounters are completely different, and the temptations are numerous, so his state of mind will naturally change."
She shook her head slightly, a trace of emotion on her face.
"What's more, he has little knowledge. It's inevitable that he will lose himself when he suddenly steps into the bustling and noisy Bianjing.
Not only will it change, but it will probably become increasingly out of control in the future.
Just wait and see! I’m afraid his changes will be even greater in the future.”
