Chapter 41 Don't be greedy

Hu Diquan said with emotion: "Prosperous, this Qinlou is one of the few first-class brothels in Suzhou City, it really gathers the prosperity of the world."

"Qin Tower?" Xie Fu heard the words and looked towards the plaque, and it was written with the word "Qin Tower" flying like a dragon and a phoenix.

Hu Diquan said: "That's right, Qin Lou. I heard that there are Qin Lou in various parts of the Daguan Kingdom. I don't know who is behind them. They have such strong financial resources."

Xie Fu smiled and said: "Since it is a brothel, the owner behind it is naturally the imperial court."

Hu Diquan asked suspiciously: "Is the court? Is the brothel the same as this yamen?"

Xie Fu smiled and said: "It can be said that there are two types of brothels, official and private, and the official brothels are directly under the management of the Jiaofang Division."

Hu Diquan seemed to understand, and said: "So, this kind of place is actually an imperial court institution."

Xie Fu smiled and said: "Not necessarily, since the development of the brothel, the number of people is huge, and the Secretary of the Jiaofang can no longer manage it directly. In addition to many factors, except for routine inspections, most of the time they do not directly intervene in the affairs of the brothel. This brothel has become official. It is also private, although private is also an official, the boundary between official and private has been very general and blurred."

Hu Diquan patted his head, "I'm a little confused by what you said."

This is indeed a bit complicated, the rules are dead, but people are alive and know how to work around the cracks. Xie Fu thought about it and smiled: "If there is any difference between this brothel and a private brothel, it is probably an official license .”

Hu Diquan smiled and said: "I understand when you say that, there is the imperial court behind it."

Xie Fu smiled and said, "You can also say that."

The two squatted down and watched for a while, and suddenly heard a commotion in the hall of the Qin Building, and the guests stood up to greet each other, as if some important person had appeared, vaguely calling a name——Chen Duzhi.

Hu Diquan turned to look at Xie Fu, and asked, "Xie Fu, do you know who Chen Duzhi is?"

Xie Fu smiled and said, "You don't even know, how could I know."

Hu Diquan turned his head to the other side, and asked the two squatting big men next to him, "Brother, what is this Chen Douzhi?"

The two big men looked at Hu Diquan upon hearing the words, but did not respond, their eyes seemed to despise Hu Diquan's ignorance.

Xie Fu smiled and said: "As far as I know, it should be a kind of identity."

Hu Diquan turned his head around and asked, "What identity?"

Xie Fu said: "In the brothel, it should be the person who hosts the poetry reception, the best of the famous actors, the best of the best. Seeing how enthusiastic these guests are, this Chen Duzhi should be very popular."

At this time, a lady came out of Qin Lou in a hurry, and waved to Xie and Fu who were squatting in front of Qin Lou's gate.

Seeing that Xie Fu and Hu Diquan were motionless, the lady frowned and said, "What are you doing in a daze? Take the sedan chair."

This... making the two of them bearers?

Hu Diquan came to his senses and spit on the ground, "Bah, who do you look down on? Dogs look down on people."

The two big men beside Hu Diquan immediately got up and rushed forward, but the lady waved her hands and said, "I want a big sedan chair for four people, four people! Do you understand?"

The guests in the hall rushed to the gate, scrambling to be the first.

"Chen Duzhi, take my sedan chair—"

"Chen Duzhi, it's better to take my sedan chair. Brother Wang has a sedan chair for two people, and mine is a sedan chair for four people. It's so powerful—"

"Brother Lin, don't worry about it. Your four-person sedan chair is made of four old, weak, sick and disabled. Don't go halfway with a weak foot and knock Chen Duzhi off. Let's sit on the sedan chair. My four The bearer is young and strong, his footsteps are so fast, he flies into the air—”

"Brother Qian, didn't you see that Chen Duzhi has already drank a lot of wine? Wouldn't it make Chen Duzhi vomit too fast? My four bearers are in their prime of life. They have 20 years of experience in carrying sedan chairs. They should hurry up." Go fast, go slow, make sure Chen Duzhi sits comfortably, no different from sitting on a meat chair—"

From the dialogue of the four young princes, it can be seen that they seem to know each other, and their relationship should not be bad at ordinary times. In order to let Chen Duzhi sit in his own sedan chair, they did not hesitate to hurt each other.

A woman came out like stars holding the moon, tall and tall, wearing a lotus root skirt, black hair cloud temples, clean skin, quite British and beautiful, but at the moment her cheeks are flushed, and her autumn eyes are slightly drunk.

Several young masters rushed out of the brothel before this Chen Duzhi, stood on the street and shouted loudly.

"sedan chair--"

"The bearer—"

"Wang Meng—"

"Thank you rogue—"

……

The bearer, who was resting in the dark, heard the master's call, and immediately rushed over carrying the sedan chair.

In an instant, several sedan chairs appeared in front of Qinlou's gate, and some young masters who came by carriage and carriage sighed wistfully, why did they come by carriage without looking at the almanac when they went out today.

Hu Diquan was dumbfounded, this is a trick, how could so many sedan chairs appear out of thin air.

Several young masters surrounded Chen Duzhi, vying to be the first, "Chen Duzhi, sit in my sedan chair."

A pleasant voice came: "I'm tired, you guys don't have a sedan chair to go back, Qinglan feels uneasy, I'm afraid..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by someone: "It's okay, it's okay, I like to walk home."

……

Chen Duzhi waited until all the sons had finished explaining his reasons, and then said again, "Everyone knows that Qinglan never favors one person over another, and I don't sit in anyone's sedan chair, is it fair?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was silent, thinking that what they said was reasonable, they were afraid that others would not be convinced if they took the sedan chair, and resentment would be felt in the hearts of others if they sat in the sedan chair.

Chen Duzhi smiled and said, "Then it's settled."

"Very good, very good—"

"Chen Duzhi has always been fair, and there is no need for everyone to argue—"

……

The crowd joined in.

Seeing that everyone was happy, Chen Duzhi smiled, and walked over to Xie Fu who were squatting on the ground, and looked at them with beautiful eyes.

Hu Diquan seemed to be dreaming, suddenly petrified, and stared at it bewilderedly.

Chen Duzhi saw that the two were motionless, one was smiling, the other was silly, with a curious expression on his face, this was definitely not a normal reaction.

The two big men beside Hu Diquan reacted quickly, and immediately stepped forward slightly, "Miss, take our sedan chair."

Chen Duzhi smiled and nodded, and the two big men happily carried the sedan chair away.

The noble lady came forward and advised, "Qinglan, you've already drunk a lot, you'd better sit in a four-person sedan chair to be more stable."

Chen Duzhi responded: "Mom, don't worry, I'm used to it."

The lady said to a little maid beside Chen Duzhi, "Take good care of Miss."

Seeing Chen Duzhi get into the sedan chair of those two men and leave, Hu Diquan felt belatedly, beat his chest and stamped his feet, "So she asked me to carry the sedan chair, why didn't I realize it! It's worse than losing 100 taels of silver." It hurts!"

Xie Fu smiled and comforted, "Where did the two of us get the sedan chair?"

"That's right, we don't have a sedan chair." Hu Diquan chuckled, "I feel much more comfortable when you say that."

Xie Fu said: "It's getting late, let's go back."

Hu Diquan looked at the sedan chair going away, reluctant to go home, and murmured: "Lanning, Miss Tantai, now I like Chen Duzhi again."

Xie Fu didn't know who Lan Ning was, so he laughed loudly: "You're quite playful."

Hu Diquan let out a "cut", and asked back, "Don't you bother?"

Xie Fu narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly: "Although beauties are good, don't be greedy."
