Were they busy or just indifferent to other things? Ah Qing stood there for a long time, thinking it must be the latter.
"So this is a red courtesan."
Those who sell their art are artiste-courtesans.
Those who sell both art and body are red courtesans.
In Beisang City, there are many women, and not everyone can receive Zhu Pingniang's protection, so... unlike the girls who sell art without selling their bodies, where there are artiste-courtesans, naturally, there are also red courtesans.
Relying on themselves to make a living, without stealing or robbing, Ah Qing watched the women coming and going in the deep night and thought that there was nothing shameful about it.
Because Ah Qing could see that there was no trace of bitterness in the eyes of these red courtesans, only the weariness of mundane work, and when they were in twos and threes, there were even smiles.
Feeling tired of their work and finding a stable life here to be good are not contradictory.
