Chapter 387: Chapter 388: Bring Me the Best Goods_1 Chapter 387: Chapter 388: Bring Me the Best Goods_1 Zhong Yulang exclaimed in astonishment, “Find a real woman? Lady, since when do we actors have women among us?!”

Muniang snorted, “Starting from now, we will.”

Zhong Yulang could never have imagined that such arrogant words would come from a woman’s mouth. Muniang’s eyes were steadfast, showing no sign of jest. Only then did Zhong Yulang realize that he truly was not the equal of a woman.

At least in terms of courage.

Qiao Muniang’s innovative approach to acting was already a significant challenge, yet now she could easily declare her intention to use a woman as an actor. Zhong Yulang began to inexplicably believe that whatever she said could be achieved.

“I will take care of this matter myself, you don’t need to worry too much, I will have my ways,” Muniang said directly, to prevent Zhong Yulang from starting to ask all sorts of questions. Because she had already been considering a new candidate for the female lead by the time she learned that Yun Guan’er was unavailable. In truth, she had always wanted to boldly try this, and now was an opportunity.

Zhong Yulang nodded, “Yes.”

Just as Muniang was about to dismiss Zhong Yulang, she paused, “By the way, are you familiar with the brothels in Chatu Town?”

Zhong Yulang was stunned. Qiao Muniang really had a knack for saying things that could scare the life out of people.

“Not very familiar.”

Muniang waved her hand dismissively, “Never mind then, if you’re not familiar, you’re not. Hurry up and get ready, you’re coming with me.”

“Where to?” Zhong Yulang was utterly bewildered.

“Where do you think? To a brothel!” Muniang glared at him and turned to leave, “Get me a set of Shen Dong’s clothes.”

Only then did Zhong Yulang realize that the Lady was preparing to find someone in a brothel.

Indeed, actors were originally of a very low status, so no decent woman would willingly join them, and if they were to find a woman willing to act, it was only natural to choose from an even lower status.

In the end, Zhong Yulang found Muniang a light blue robe. Muniang simply tied up her hair, thickened her eyebrows a bit, and transformed into an elegant young gentleman. Although she was a bit short, it was no big deal; Muniang purposely added a few “height-enhancing pads” inside her boots.

The boots of ancient times were big and bulky, and adding something inside was not noticeable. It even impressed Zhong Yulang slightly. He had only known men to be more charming than women, like Yun Guan’er, but he had never known a woman could appear more dashing than a man.

Muniang strode confidently into a brothel called the “Hundred Flower Building” and stepped inside. It was dusk at that time, not yet completely dark nor late at night, so the brothel wasn’t crowded.

As soon as Muniang entered, an old procuress greeted them with a smile, “Two sirs, you’ve come early. I see unfamiliar faces; is this your first time here? Our girls here are all very exquisite, you’ll surely be satisfied by the end!”

Muniang smirked casually and took out two silver ingots from her waist and threw them to the procuress, “Bring me your best, and don’t hold back anything!”

Zhong Yulang twitched the corner of his mouth. She really did have the mannerisms down pat.

Muniang had learned this from playing **** on TV in the past, and it seemed to work quite well.

Seeing the silver, the old procuress’s eyes lit up with joy. Today was indeed her lucky day; they had just opened and already two wealthy customers had arrived. This time she would make a good profit!

“Rest assured, I will send you our very best girls,” the procuress assured them. “Please come this way. I will take you to the private room on the second floor to wait.”

Having said that, she turned to the small maid beside her and instructed, “Quickly go and invite our top courtesans over here, don’t keep the gentleman waiting too long!”

Since the guests had yet to arrive and the ladies were free, it was the perfect opportunity for this gentleman to choose. Should he find someone suitable, it would result in a hefty amount of silver.

The old procuress was gleeful and hastily sent someone in.

After Muniang entered the room, the serving girls brought in the tea and then left.

Muniang seized the moment of solitude to address Zhong Yulang, “When the time comes, you’d better help me choose carefully and see if there’s a suitable girl.”

It was only with reluctance that Zhong Yulang agreed. He had always been the one others spent on, never having come to such a place as a consumer himself, and the role reversal was a bit too much for him to accept at the moment.

Seeing his displeased expression, Muniang thought he might have some other concerns and teased him, “Of course, if you fancy any of the girls, I wouldn’t mind spending some silver for a night of bliss on your behalf.”

Zhong Yulang’s face turned immediately red. “No need!”

Muniang gave him a curious look—he had already been through this many times, hadn’t he? Why was he acting like a shy virgin?

However, Muniang only thought about this for a moment. Soon, a bevy of beautiful girls filed into the room and curtsied slightly towards Muniang and Zhong Yulang, “How do you do, sirs.”

Upon seeing the two’s appearance, they were all taken aback, having only heard from the old procuress about the arrival of two wealthy guests without realizing they were also so attractive! The ladies’ eyes shone brightly at the prospect of such a fortunate opportunity.

Muniang spoke playfully, “Are you the best courtesans of the Hundred Flower Building?”

“Indeed,” they replied in a voice so sweet it almost dripped with honey.

Muniang knew this was most likely an act.

“I don’t like contrived delicacy. Whoever can show her strong, independent side is whom I will select as my companion for the night,” Muniang said with a smile.

The courtesans looked at each other, never having encountered a customer with such particular tastes before.

“No takers?” Muniang shook the silver note of a hundred taels in her hand, “Then I truly don’t know whether to give this silver or not.”

The ladies quickly nodded in response, “Certainly! Certainly!”

Muniang stood up, approached them, and her gaze suddenly turned icy and stubborn. She pointed the folded fan in her hand at one of the women’s necks, and all the women turned pale with fright—how had the amiable young master suddenly changed so…

But then they heard Muniang’s crisp, decisive voice.

“If you ever betray me in the future, I won’t wish for you to be struck by heavenly thunder; I would rather pierce you through with a sword myself.”

Only then did Muniang retract her hand and immediately returned to her nonchalant demeanor, “The one who best mimics what I just demonstrated gets to keep this silver note. How about it? Who’s willing to try?”

The group of women stood there dumbfounded, realizing she was setting an example for them.

But why did her words sound so chilling? What kind of woman would dare say such a thing to a man? However, looking at the silver note in Muniang’s hand, they were all ready to take the risk. It didn’t matter if other men liked it or not, as long as this gentleman appreciated it!
