Chang'an night watchman

Chapter 18 Wonderful Nightlife
The night is getting darker.

Jiaofangsi is located in a hutong in the inner city, but don’t get me wrong, as the official venue of the capital, it is not as simple as a pavilion or a courtyard.

The entire hutong belongs to the Jiaofang Division!

The oiran picks up customers in different courtyards, and even has a special listening area. For example, the girls here can play the pipa, and the girls there are better at playing the flute and the piano.

In short, professional!

When it comes to the women in the Jiaofang Division, many of them are female relatives of criminal officials. All of them are fair-skinned and beautiful, and they are so tender that they can almost squeeze out the water.

Some people are just fine with it!
Therefore, many officials also like to come here for entertainment. After talking about the matter, everyone finds a newspaper girl to cuddle and sleep for a night. After returning, they talk to the lady at home to talk about business affairs, and they have a wonderful life.

However, the consumption here is also terribly expensive. It takes a few taels of silver to start a table, and the poor are really not qualified to indulge.

At the moment, there are many carriages parked in front of Jiaofangsi, and many carriages can be seen at a glance as belonging to the families of dignitaries. The alley is decorated with lights and festoons, and the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras is heard, and the atmosphere is quite good.

"I heard that there are ten oiran in the Jiaofang Division. It was originally a scene of splendid beauty, but a red fish who was born out of nowhere and did not sell himself was stole the limelight. Do you know?"

Deng Feng opened the chat box.

"Girl Hongyu is a pair of qin and dancers. It is said that a song is intoxicating, a dance can be a city, and the appearance fee will cost a thousand taels of silver!"

"What the hell? It's so expensive?" Jing Yang opened his mouth, feeling a little more fearful of the Beijing Jiaofang Division's unreasonable cause.

Mu He scratched his head and expressed his confusion: "A woman who has never shown her face is worth so much money?"

Deng Feng smiled and shook his head: "You don't understand this. Although the appearance of a girl from the Jiaofang Division is important, her talent is indispensable. The girl's piano and dance skills overwhelm everyone, this is one of them!"

"anything else?"

Several people gathered around at the same time, and it was hard for men not to be interested in this topic, even the most honest Mu He.

"Secondly, Miss Hongyu has an extraordinary temperament! Especially those charming and affectionate peach eyes, who doesn't want to conquer her? It's so addicting!"

Under this description, several young boys have already started to fantasize.

Only Lu Changge was bored and stood aside, thinking that if you don't even enter the door, will you be satisfied just by standing here?
"Thirdly, Miss Hongyu is a cultivator! Some of her dances are like a fairy in the world, and it is not something ordinary people can do, so she is so sought after."

"Brother Deng, do you know that you are so careful, have you seen the red fish girl dancing?"

Probably finally waiting for this question, Deng Feng couldn't wait to reply: "Of course I have seen it!"

"Tell us about it, how did you meet?"

Jingyang smiled and said: "It's not a whore for nothing, maybe I paid for it myself! Others spent money to invite Miss Hongyu out. If I'm lucky, I'll rub it with you, right?"

Deng Feng, who was about to appear holy in front of others, was disturbed and looked at the boy who had just arrived in the capital.

"You may not believe it when you say it, but Lady Red Fish did a dance for me."

As soon as Lu Changge opened his mouth, everyone looked at him, stunned in place, as if time had stopped.

"Hahahaha, you said that the red fish girl danced for you?"

"Lu Changge, you haven't dreamed, have you?"

"Even though today's princes are not treated like this, I also said that Lady Red Fish warmed the bed for me!"

"Don't talk nonsense, Lady Red Fish served me to bed last night."

"Hahahahaha!"

Lu Changge shrugged without arguing. He looked towards the deepest part of the alley and said, "The innermost building is the Tiannv Pavilion where Lady Hongyu is located, why don't we try our luck."

"How do you know? Came here secretly?"

"Guess."

Of course, Lu Changge wouldn't say that he had visited in his dreams, and by the way, he had a friendly relationship with a certain girl here.

Definitely not whoring, because he didn't give money at all.

"Okay, brother, I will spend one time today and take you to the Tiannv Pavilion to see the world!"

Deng Feng took the lead, "However, I can remind you that it is very likely that you will not even see half of the people."

When a group of people came to Tiannv Pavilion, each person had to pay two taels of silver.

The pavilion is cylindrical and has three floors. There is a round platform in the center of the courtyard, which is separated by a circular pool. There are many beautiful fish in the pool.

"There are so many people!"

Even if they knew they couldn't see the red fish here, there were still many people willing to wait here, many of them literati and noblemen.

Fortunately, even if Red Fish doesn't come, there are other little maids who will come here to serve everyone, serve tea and wine, and occasionally accompany Rang to rub his thighs, otherwise the money would be wasted.

A few people just found a place to sit down, and immediately a maid in a skirt came up to deliver the wine.

Deng Feng drank a cup beautifully, shaking the nectar and jade liquid in the cup, shaking his head, looking like he couldn't stop.

"I have to say, the wine here is more delicious than outside."

"It's purely psychological."

Lu Changge also poured himself a glass with a smile, and drank it leisurely. It's good to have such a leisurely life occasionally.

"Hey, look, why is there a literati with a pen there, looking like he's thinking about something."

"It's so normal."

Deng Feng explained: "A lot of scholars came to the Tiannv Pavilion specially for no other reason than hoping to come up with a shocking poem and ask Miss Hongyu to come out for a dance instead of money."

Jingyang continued: "When it comes to poetry, do you know that you can ask Qingtian for wine?"

"I have heard of it, but I don't know which great genius wrote it."

"It is said that even the second prince is willing to bow down! It seems that the capital's literary world is about to stir up a storm."

Listening to the brothers bragging about themselves crazily, Lu Changge was in a pretty good mood.

The little maid next to her, probably looking at the handsome young man, blinked her eyes vigorously, and Lu Changge took the initiative to hold her little hand, but she had to say "hate" again.

Sao and very saucy, to make you refuse, really!
"Brother Jiang?!"

Suddenly, a young man wearing a dark wide-sleeved robe came up to Lu Changge and stared at him with a shocked face.

Several colleagues came to look over. Does this kid still have acquaintances?And look at this dress is a noble boy.

"You recognized the wrong person." Lu Changge was very unfamiliar with the face in front of him.

"How can I admit my mistake, how can I admit my mistake!"

The man leaned over with a flattering face, "Brother Jiang's words are truly a masterpiece that has been handed down from generation to generation. Not only did he overpower the second prince, but he also asked Hongyu girl to take the initiative to dance. It was amazing!"

Kekekeke, don't lick me like that, just keep a low profile.
Lu Changge immediately understood that this guy was one of the witnesses present that day, and mistook himself for the Jiang family son.

"What, what is a masterpiece handed down from ancient times?" Jingyang subconsciously picked out his ears, expressing that he didn't understand.

"Suppress the second prince? And let the red fish perform a dance?"

Deng Feng smiled and shook his head, "Brother Lu, you didn't ask me to fool us, did you? Haha, Brother Jiang, I forgot my name."

Mu He was also laughing dryly, but Jing Yang's eyes became extremely strange. He suddenly remembered what Lu Changge said when they met at the inn: You may not believe it, this is my work.

Wait, he said that the relative's house he lives in seems to be surnamed Jiang too?
While thinking about it, a high-pitched chant came from the courtyard.

"When will the bright moon be there, ask Qingtian for the wine! I don't know what year it is in the palace in the sky."

The loud chants immediately attracted the rest of the people in the pavilion, and the noisy courtyard immediately fell silent, and everyone turned their attention to the man standing on the bluestone, dressed as a scholar, with a pretty face.

I saw him looking up at the third floor, and continued to sing: "I want to go home by wind, but I'm afraid of Qionglou Yuyu, and the heights will be too cold."

"Dancing clear shadow, like in the world."

After singing, he let out a long sigh.

"I came here every day for half a month, and I have spent more than thirty taels of silver. Now I have no money. If I can't but wish, I am afraid it will be a lifetime regret!"

The scholar's face was full of sincerity, and he said loudly: "Miss Hongyu, although this word is not made by me, but it is very suitable for a peerless beauty like you, can you come out and see it?"
