In the evening, rain that had been brewing for nearly a day was pouring down.

The shops have closed the stalls that are usually placed outside, and many stores have closed their doors. After all, few people are willing to go out for shopping in such weather.

Peony Tower is an exception. At present, this bad weather will not only not affect their business, but will instead attract more passenger flow.

There is no way, because the night market has closed stalls due to heavy rain, and the people in the city have fewer places to go to, so they will naturally think of this place that can both shelter from the rain and enjoy.

Not long after the rain started, the madam at Mudan Tower brought a few subordinates out from the main entrance and twisted a handkerchief to cover her nose, as if she couldn't stand the smell of earth outside. When she saw the deserted appearance on the street, she couldn't help but be happy.

"Why are you standing there? Put up the awning quickly. The platform on the second floor should be opened, so that the girls can sing and jump up!"

He glanced at the few running halls standing beside him, rolled his eyes and scolded.

As one of the best brothels in Qingding City, Peony Tower will not build those shabby bamboo sheds outside the building, which is really too expensive.

With the order from the madam, two metal pillars immediately came to the back of the metal pillars outside the door, opened the iron box hanging on the top, and turned the switch inside. A "Kera~" chain tugged sound came from the entire column. Under the platform on the second floor, a metal plate wrapped in a satin cloth printed on the outside was immediately pushed out.

Extending to two or three meters outside the building, the iron plates on both sides began to move down again, showing an arched shape on the street.

If someone stands below and looks up, he will see a peach blossom forest, and his feet will be covered with straw red carpets in advance. As for the platform on the second floor, it was originally closed to prevent dust, but now it is all opened. It is specially asked a few girls with good dancing skills to dance a few songs to attract guests around.

When Lu Jiu and Zhou Ze walked to the entrance of the Peony Tower with an umbrella, they saw this lively scene that was completely different from the surrounding shops.

"I've said a long time ago that the Peony Tower is different from other places. The more this kind of weather is, the more interesting it is here."

I put away the umbrella, threw it dry outside and placed it in a bamboo tube with a dedicated guard. Zhou Ze, who had been here many times, stepped in the door.

"Oh~ Isn't this Young Master Zhou? Why did you have time to visit the Peony Tower today? I couldn't even invite you in the past."

The madam obviously knew Zhou Ze. As soon as she saw him, she came up with a smile on her face, took his hand and walked into the building.

The entire Peony Tower does not have the luxurious scene of the wine pond and meat forest that Lu Jiu imagined.

On the contrary, from the decoration of the first floor lobby alone, it actually prefers a simple and elegant style. People who are holding each other and sloppy can see a few, but not many.

More of them are young people waving paper fans and talking big or middle-aged people waving wine while talking about business.

Most of these people came here together, and undoubtedly regarded the Peony Tower as a relatively relaxed place of socializing.

"This time I brought my friends to play, prepared a private room for me, and prepared all the good wine and dishes."

The two discussed on the way and wanted to ask about the strange rumors in the Peony Building. They must have been asking questions about the madam. Even if she knew, she would not be able to discredit her own store. She could only find a quiet room first and then find other opportunities.

"Okay, Taohong, come and take Young Master Zhou up."

The charge for a separate room is undoubtedly one level higher than the table seats in the first floor lobby, so you dare not neglect such a guest madam.

Although she couldn't walk away at the door, it didn't prevent her from immediately calling a girl to lead the way for Zhou Ze and Lu Jiu.

"This Peony Building is not bad, right?"

Walking along the corridor on the right side of the hall towards the stairs leading to the second floor, Zhou Ze saw Lu Jiu looking around and looking at the surrounding environment, and couldn't help but ask.

"It's really good. It seems that I'm going to benefit you this time."

While answering with a smile, Lu Jiu's eyes kept wandering around the corners of the Peony Tower. Compared with fine wine and delicacies, he now has a more urgent need for special blood.

Stepping up the red carpet on the stairs, heading to the corner of the stairs between the second and third floors, the girl named Taohong was still leading the way, but Lu Jiu suddenly stopped.

Since drinking the blood of the gray-feathered crow in the alley the night before yesterday, and being merged into the body by the flowing light transformed from the black falcon with ice-blue tail feathers, Lu Jiu could clearly feel that he became very sensitive to certain special smells, especially the gray-feathered crow and the blood in the bamboo tube.

There is no girl in the Peony Building who is not dressed up. In addition, the aroma of the aroma and the aroma of wine and food in the corners make the smell in the whole building very mixed. However, in this environment, Lu Jiu still smells or passively receives the special smell that exists in the current environment.

It has no obvious smell, but it is particularly prominent in the smell that Lu Jiu smells.

Coincidentally, Lu Jiu also smelled a similar smell when he was parading in the inn last night. However, the people were mixed at that time, and he couldn't tell the source of the smell. He thought the source was in the crowd on the street, but he didn't expect to appear again in the Peony Tower.

Following the source of this smell, Lu Jiu's gaze couldn't help but turn to the third floor. The room there seemed to be better decoration than the second floor. There were exquisite lanterns hanging at the door and lights were on in the room, but no one came out.

"That's where several beauties in Peony Building live. It costs a lot of money to go up... But today's weather, there may be temporary activities later, so you may be able to see your beauty. Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk

Zhou Ze noticed Lu Jiu's gaze and also looked at the room on the third floor, and there was a feeling of anticipation on his face.

The so-called "beauty" can be said to be the "senior technician" in the Peony Building, so naturally he would not show up casually, while the courtesan who Lu Jiu met last night was even higher.

"So that's the case. No wonder the rooms on the third floor are decorated differently from other places."

Lu Jiu temporarily suppressed the doubts in his mind. Even though he was a little concerned about the sudden smell, the situation was not suitable for further investigation.

Under the leadership of the Taohong girl, they walked into the room on the second floor. At first, they were completely like a "serious" customer. They ordered a few dishes and then found two girls to come in to perform singing and dancing. When the wine and food were all in hand, the girl's talent was also performed. Zhou Ze and Lu Jiu began to ignite or unintentionally and citing the topic of recent rumors about the Peony Tower.

Perhaps because the madam had warned everyone in advance, they only wanted to change the topic at first. When Zhou Ze and Lu Jiu cooperated to deliberately show an unhappy expression, they reluctantly told the story of the hair being pulled out by the guests who were sleeping overnight at Mudan Tower.
