Unparalleled Double Harmony

Chapter 73

In ancient times, there were many kinds of brothels.

There are some kilns, as long as you collect enough money for whoring, no matter what your virtues are, they will accept you.

Places like that belong to the lowest level of brothels. They are usually opened in alleys, converted from several ordinary houses connected together, and there is no signboard at the door.

The women living there are extremely miserable. They are forced to open for more than eight hours almost every day. They can’t eat well, sleep well, and are especially prone to illness; because the customers who go to such places are basically poor people, Workers, performers, and even beggars. Many people even have problems with personal hygiene. It is normal to have an infectious disease on their body... So most of the women who enter that kind of kiln will not live for a year or a half.

And the places that are one notch higher than those low-level brothels are the brothels we often see in many film and television dramas-a restaurant with several floors, a single courtyard, where you can drink and eat food on the first floor, and there are also private rooms upstairs. There are more rooms and cleaner ones, and naturally there are more girls in them.

This kind of brothel is for those who have a little spare money.

Among them, most of them are scholars, especially those who have fallen into the ranks of scholars. All of them... all feel that they are talented and underappreciated.Outside, they are literati, they look down on each other, and they don't hear any good things; it's different when they go to the brothel, they are full of compliments, which make them very useful.

Of course, this kind of treatment has to be exchanged for silver...

If you have money, you are an uncle. When you run out of money, what you hear will not be the same set of words. At that time, who the hell cares about whether you are talented or not?The ugly words from the old bustard's mouth can make these sour scholars doubt their lives.

Then, there is another kind of brothel called Jiaofangsi, which can be regarded as an "official kiln". It belongs to the Ministry of Rites and is responsible for celebrations and welcoming VIPs to play music. It is also an official brothel.

Most of the women here are the female relatives of officials who committed crimes and were punished, including their wives, concubines, daughters, maids... There are also some wives and daughters of the defeated who were captured in the war, or The civil women who were raped and kidnapped during the war and so on.

Women who enter the Jiaofang Division as prostitutes will be included in the lowly status, and they will sit together for generations and be treated inhumanely; Come as a cash cow to make money and make up for the losses caused by those officials.

Such as Dong Xiaowan, Liu Rushi, Chen Yuanyuan... The well-known prostitutes who are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are basically taught by the music officials in the Jiaofang Division; in fact, there are not so many in folk brothels. Most of the talented women in the book are girls sold by poor families, and there are also women who were abducted or even robbed by human traffickers. They have no chance of even receiving education, so let’s not talk about other things.

In any case, these wandering women are miserable and helpless.

They may be married to their husbands because of an arranged marriage that they have no right to decide, or they may be sold as goods and become slaves just because of bad luck. Even the social rules are on the side of those who exploit and bully them side.

Socrates once advocated - "even if it is a bad law, it is a law that should be obeyed", and then he obeyed the trial of the nobles of Athens and took poison.

I think this philosopher has said a lot of right things in his life, but only this obsession before his death is so stupid that taking poison is not enough to cure him. He should be sent to the Jiaofang Division for a period of time , I think that will change his mind.

Of course, you can also say that he, as a negative example, has inspired the world's understanding of "evil laws and illegality".

Closer to home...

After the heavy science popularization of the flesh and blood industry in the above-mentioned period of feudal society, let’s take a look at the brothel in the martial arts world of Dazhao, a parallel universe...

Here, there is a kind of exaggerated folk brothel.

Its grade is higher than any of the three brothels mentioned above, and it is roughly a high-end club in today's terms.

Its background is unfathomable, its financial resources are strong, and black and white can take both... Although it is a place of fireworks and a place of romance, not everyone can enter it.

Qiliu Youlan is such a place.

Grandpas of rich families, well-known masters in the world, heroes with famous brands in the green forest road, or bigwigs who are inconvenient to disclose their names but who are rich and powerful at first glance, can enter.

But ordinary people... Suppose you sold out your family's ancestral property, want to come here to fight for a shot, and then die of starvation... Sorry, no reception.

There are also those who are disheveled, smelly, and look sick... These people don't do business either; you know, the girls in this brothel are all precious, in case What disease did you contract, who would the madam pay for?

In short, this is a place for "respectable people".

Today, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai cleaned up very decently; therefore, as soon as they walked to the street where Qiliu Youlan was located, the old bustard sitting by the railing on the second floor of the brothel stared at them.

The eyes of the madam in this brothel are so poisonous, she looked at the faces of the two people, they were clean and tidy, and their faces were flushed, and when she looked at their eyes, it was already night, and she didn't show any signs of tiredness; she understood now—— —The living conditions of these two must be very good, and they are by no means the kind of masters who have to work hard during the day.

Looking further down, the clothes of the two are also not bad, and they both hold a paper fan in their hands. This outfit alone is worth a year's income of a poor family.

Also, the way they walk, they seem to be swaggering, strolling in the garden, not in a hurry, which is also the characteristic of rich people.

The old bustard just looked them up and down, and she was [-]% sure that these two must be sons and sisters who had seen them before; This kind of people can come and go frequently in places with their consumption level.

Ever since, when Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai strolled to the door of Qiliu Youlan, the two hadn't stepped through the threshold, the old bustard came out like a hungry tiger.

"Ouch--"

Accompanied by a howl that sounded like a pig being killed, the bustard with heavy make-up flashed in front of Sun and Huang with one stride: "Young masters! Why did you come here!"

The voice was loud and the tone was affectionate. I'm afraid she wouldn't be so enthusiastic when her relatives ancestors came.

I don't know if I got the signal from Mama Sang. Upon hearing the roar, four women rushed out of the lobby on the first floor of the brothel. The clothes on their bodies are also wrapped in silk gauze with white flowers on the neck... No woman on the street would wear this kind of clothes that can see the shoulders, arms and even the collarbone through the gauze, but in this brothel here is different.

"Come, come, why are you being polite? Inside, please~" When the bustard said this, the women had already pushed and dragged Brother Sun and Brother Huang into the gate as if they were holding hostages.

The two of them only felt that their arms on both sides were surrounded by people, and they were wrapped and rubbed by some fleshy things, and they were dragged into the lobby of this brothel as soon as they lost their minds.

The lobby on the first floor of Qiliu Youlan does not welcome guests, except for some expensive screen decorations, it is basically an open space connected by stairs everywhere.

Most of the guests who come here don't want to share a room with other guests they don't know, let alone be disturbed, so they go directly to sit in the private room upstairs.

This private room is naturally divided into grades, but it is not arranged according to "heaven", "earth", "xuan" and "yellow" like most places. As I said before, all the people who come here are decent people. , if you arrange it like that, everyone will choose the "heaven" character, and no one will even enter the "earth" character, let alone Xuan Huang...

Therefore, each of the private rooms in Qiliu Youlan has its own name, and they are all named with four characters. ", there is also one called "Chaoyun Muyu"... Today, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai were pulled into a room called "Le Bu Si Shu".

The private rooms with the above four-letter names are all considered to be of the same class, and the interior furnishings, as well as the specifications of the food and drinks served are all the same; in addition, there is another class, generally only those who are really big shots or regular customers Only those who are eligible to enter, there are only four private rooms of that kind in total, and they are all named with one character, which are "spring", "summer", "autumn" and "winter", corresponding to the most prestigious among the seven willows. The four beauties are Chunyu, Xiayang, Qiuye, and Chuxue.

These four are undoubtedly beauties who are as beautiful as celestial beings, with excellent color and art skills, and the top card among them is Miss Chuxue.

Don't look at Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai who have just arrived, in fact, they already know all the above information - because Dong Wan told them all before coming.

As the so-called county magistrate is not as good as the present, although Dong Wan is just a small headhunter, but in this Xuzhou boundary, who can't give him a little face?Besides, he is also a respectable person, and the head catcher is also very rich. Although his gray income is not as good as that of the county magistrate, it is still a lot. Maybe he is a little richer than Zheng Mukai and Ge Shi; Both Zheng and Ge can become regular customers of Qiliu Youlan, so naturally Dong Wan can too.

And with Sun and Huang's cautious character, they want to squeeze out all the information about this brothel that Dong Wan has before they are willing to give up. I almost said all the postures I have used...

In short, Shuangxie came here tonight completely prepared, and its main purpose was to find out from Chuxue the secrets before and after the duel between Zheng Mukai and Ge Shi.

…………

Not long after, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai were already seated in the room of "Happy to Think of Shu", and the food and drinks were quickly served.

However, the four girls who came to greet them at the beginning had already left. Presumably those four were responsible for welcoming guests, sent the guests into the private room and then went back to the first floor.

"Second gentlemen, forgive me for my poor eyesight..." After the guests sat down, the procuress stopped speaking so exaggeratedly, and just said in a normal voice, "I think you two are a bit unfamiliar, could it be... come back to us play here?"

"Hehehe..." Sun Yixie didn't have any stage fright here, and immediately opened the scene with a lewd smile, his mouth as sweet as honey, "Sister has good eyesight, we are the first to come back."

"Hey~look at this young man, he is so good at talking, hehe..." The old bustard said so on the surface, but he said in his heart, "I can't see that you are still a veteran. Come to a place like this."

"Sister, don't make fun of me. I'm very stupid. The brother Huang next to me is a talented man with a lot of knowledge and eloquence." Sun Yixie turned his face away and pushed his brother out.

"Really! That's great, the girls here like wits the most, Mr. Huang will definitely have a good time tonight." The old bustard also followed his words and praised there.

Huang Donglai looked a little silly when he saw the two singing together, he didn't care about the presence of the bustard, and immediately complained to Sun Yixie: "Brother Sun, you look like a fish in water, you can see that you have a life."

"Ah? Ah...hahaha." Sun Yixie didn't respond to this, but just slapped him and walked over, and kicked Huang Donglai under the table, telling him to "shut up" with body language.

"Then... I don't know, two young masters, do you have any particulars about the girl? Sister, I can arrange it for you..." On the other hand, the old bustard started to get down to business, maybe she was brought up by Sun Yixie The shameless atmosphere was contagious, and from this sentence, she really called herself a sister.

"Heh...that's easy to say." Sun Yixie said with a smile, "Sister, how many girls are there in your house who are not accompanying the guests, call them all to me first, let me have a look..." He paused, "Oh, by the way, the four at the door don't need to come, I've already seen it."

When the old bustard heard this, she felt a little displeased. She thought to herself, "What's the matter? You have a big appetite, don't you? Any girl from my place will be able to compete with the top card in other places. You You still want to call them all, to pick and choose for you? Where did you take my Qiliu Youlan? Do you think it’s the messy brothels you used to visit?”

I think so in my heart, but I won't turn my face because of this. After all, people also said that they are turning heads, and it is normal to not understand the rules.

"Hey, Mr. Sun, you don't know something..." A few seconds later, the old bustard deliberately showed embarrassment, and said euphemistically, "The girls here are very delicate, and my heart as a mother Soft, reluctant to discipline them, so that they are all in this size now...the shelves are all up, let them walk around, just push three times and four things, want this or that..."

This is no longer a hint, but an explicit statement. If you still don't understand it, and you have to ask "what do you mean", then it will be meaningless.

The rule of Qiliu Youlan is: even if you only ask the girl to come over to show you, you don't need her to accompany you after you finish watching. If you choose someone else, you have to spend money, and you can't let them go for nothing.

"Oh~ I understand, I understand." Can Sun Yixie not understand these words, he took out an ingot of gold from his body, and put it in front of the old bustard, "Sister, you really know how to treat people, no It's easy...haha, come on, this is my meeting gift, don't think it too little, use it to buy some delicious food for the girls to make up your body."

Usually, the amount of money given out at this time can roughly tell the customer's financial resources or the degree of generosity, but Brother Sun's move immediately made him judged by the bustard as the highest rank.

"Hey, my lord is too out of touch, giggling..." The old bustard was overjoyed when he saw the gold, he giggled on the spot, grabbed the ingot of gold and walked out of the house, "Wait a minute, I'll go right away Call the girls."
