Chapter 140 Persian Woman
Chapter 140: Persian Woman
If Zhang Quandan hadn't thought that he had already made friends with Ye Xuan, he wouldn't have dared to rashly bring Ye Xuan to such a den of brothel.

When she heard that Ye Xuan was just a Confucian scholar from outside the province and that his family wasn't an official, Sister Hua's enthusiasm instantly dropped a lot.

But after all, he was brought here by the son of the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Works, so Sister Hua did not show too much indifference.

At Zhang Quandan's request, Sister Hua found a seat for the two of them near the window.

As soon as he sat down, Zhang Quandan shouted, "Sister Hua, where is this young lady from? Why haven't I seen her before?"

Sister Hua tapped Zhang Quandan's forehead charmingly and said with a smile, "This is a fresh product from Persia. We haven't received any customers yet!"

"If you are interested, Master Zhang, I will bring her to see you in a moment. But let's make it clear first, this Persian girl has a strange temper! If she likes you, you don't need money, but if she doesn't, no matter how much money you offer, it won't work!"

Zhang Quandan waved his hand impatiently and said, "Okay, okay, bring this young lady over here later. I will naturally have plenty of ways to make her willing to accompany me. Now quickly bring a few girls to serve my friend!"

Sister Hua didn't get angry and just walked away with a wry smile.

Soon, two good-looking ladies from the Ming Dynasty leisurely sat down next to Ye Xuan and Zhang Quandan respectively.

Although these two Ming Dynasty women were quite good-looking, they were still far inferior to the Persian women on the stage.

Especially those rich young men on the flower boats, all of them are frequent visitors to brothels.

Ordinary women are already tired of playing around and have been drooling over Persian women.

Everyone was clamoring for the Persian woman to come down and have fun with them.

Listening to these young men around me making a Persian woman, then another Persian woman.

Ye Xuan shook his head secretly. As far as he knew, the real Persian Empire had already perished during the Hongwu period.

Today's Persian region should be a place where multiple regimes coexist. Among them, the Ilkhanate, one of the branches of the Chagatai Khanate, is the most powerful, ruling over later Iran, Iraq and a small part of Central Asia.

After a while, the music stopped.

The madam, Sister Hua, walked off the stage holding the Persian woman's fair little hand and began to toast each table one by one.

Although many rich young men were annoyed that Sister Hua did not bring the Persian woman directly to her room and was still showing off here, they also understood that this was a way for the flower boat to attract customers.

When Sister Hua finally came to Ye Xuan's table with the Persian woman, Zhang Quandan had long been impatient and directly picked up two glasses of wine, one for each of them, and said, "Little beauty, let's have a drink. How about you stay and accompany us tonight?"

After that, he glanced at Ye Xuan and said reluctantly: "As long as you can make my friend happy, the amount of money is not a problem."

Because the Persian woman couldn't understand him, Zhang Quandan didn't beat around the bush. Sister Hua would naturally embellish her words when translating.

Unexpectedly, the Persian woman actually spoke the official language of the Ming Dynasty. "Sir, please don't be anxious. Let's start as friends first, okay?"

Not only Zhang Quandan was shocked, but Ye Xuan was also slightly surprised.

You should know that the official language of the Ming Dynasty was developed based on the Nanjing dialect. Strictly speaking, it is a dialect. Moreover, the degree of promotion of the official language at that time was far less than that of Mandarin in later generations, and it was much more difficult to learn than the national language in later generations.

But I didn't expect that this foreign woman in front of me could speak quite fluently.

Zhang Quandan was very excited. A Persian woman who could understand human language was much more interesting than a foreign barbarian who couldn't. Hearing this, he hurriedly pulled the Persian woman's hand and said, "Okay, okay, why don't you wait in the room? After my friend and you become good friends, I will have a long talk with you!"

The Persian woman was smart. Seeing Zhang Quandan's lustful appearance, she immediately turned to Ye Xuan, who had been acting very calm, and put her hands on Ye Xuan's shoulders and said, "Sir, my name is Farah, what's your name?"

Ye Xuan had watched some foreign TV dramas in his previous life and happened to know the meaning of this name. Hearing this, he couldn't help but say, "Faraah, what a good name. It means happiness and joy in Persian."

Upon hearing this, Farah opened his eyes wide in surprise and exclaimed, "Oh, young master, how do you understand our language!"

Ye Xuan just shook his head and chuckled, without answering.

You can't tell Farah that he saw this on TV.

However, this aroused Farah's great interest, and he sat down next to a guest for the first time.

This surprised Sister Hua who had been standing aside. You know, after Farah had just toasted a circle of people, so many rich young men, some offered high prices, some pretended to be noble, and some simply revealed their identities and threatened that as long as Farah was willing, she could immediately become the wife of an official of the Ming Dynasty.

But Farah just perfunctorily responded. She had never been so intimate with that man before.

Ye Xuan is not Liu Xiahui who can remain calm when a beautiful woman sits on his lap. If a beautiful woman sticks close to you and keeps talking to you in an ambiguous way, even a true gentleman would not be able to help but have a long conversation with her.

What's more, Farah is a prostitute and a relatively open-minded foreign woman, so her passion is naturally like fire.

Soon the two of them started chatting together. Ye Xuan talked about his understanding of Persia, Iranian folk customs, and even talked about the Koran.

The two of them were laughing and having a great time.

This scene not only made Zhang Quandan feel jealous, but even the young masters who were watching were filled with indignation.

They are all powerful young men from influential families, and they all think highly of themselves.

Seeing that the woman he had shown kindness to but received no return was actually smiling sweetly at an ordinary man, he immediately lost control of his temper.

After a while, someone stood up and pointed at Sister Hua and said, "Sister Hua, all of us here are big customers of your family. It's really disheartening to be so partial to some!"

When the others saw someone taking the lead, they also started clamoring.

"This is not the way to entertain guests!"

"Why should that Persian beauty be allowed to accompany that guy?"

"Stop talking nonsense, just name your price!"

Although she had incurred public anger, Sister Hua was not panicked.

This is a common tactic used by flower boats, using beauty to arouse the guests' desire to win. Sometimes even the natives from Java can be sold at a high price.

Seeing someone disrupting the place, Zhang Quandan was the first to stand up.

However, when he saw clearly who was causing trouble, he was stunned.
