Chapter 404 Visiting the Brothel (Please Subscribe!)

...

Liang Yuan's singing and dancing are full of flair, fine wine is like a knife to relieve sorrow, recalling the joys of youth, and lighting up the building late at night.

Fanlou was originally called Baifanlou, because Nanjing vendors sold aluman here, it was later changed to a restaurant, and the name gradually changed to Fanlou.

The Fan Building is composed of five buildings in the east, west, south, north and middle. The three floors are high and the fifth floor faces each other. The flying bridge sill communicates light and shade.

Although Li Yan once obtained a beautiful woman, millions of starting funds, and a jade seal from the palace, to be honest, Li Yan has never been to the top of the 72 restaurants in Tokyo.

Under the leadership of Yan Qing, a group of people paid an entrance fee of more than 1000 yuan to enter the building.

The carved beams and painted buildings are beautiful, the ingenuity is amazing, and the extravagance is spiritual. Li Yan, who is used to the prosperity of later generations, is an eye-opener.

When he came to a screen wall, Yan Qing stopped everyone and said: "It's troublesome, you have to write a good poem before you can enter."

Li Yan said differently: "To visit a brothel, you must also be able to write poetry?"

Yan Qing said: "Ordinary brothels are of course not used. This is the first building in the world, and there really is such a rule... Don't worry about the officials, there must be some poetry sellers nearby, and the villain will buy more than a dozen of his poems to guarantee us These people can go in."

How can there be so many who can write poems? Many young masters can't even write doggerel.

But these people still want to be arty.

How to do?
Where there is demand, there is naturally a market, and gradually, some people sell poems in brothels—they charge money according to the quality, and the best ones can even sell for ten thousand gold.

In fact, these poetry sellers also colluded with brothels.

In other words, this is also one of the incomes of the brothel.

really!

It was useless for Yan Qing to look for it, and soon someone took the initiative to find it and said, "How many people, do you want a good poem?"

A person brought by Yan Qing quickly negotiated with that person and bought a poem for Li Yan and others.

However, when the man was about to pay, Li Yan said: "Buy one less." Then he picked up the brush and wrote four lines of poems "shua, shua, shua".

Live as a hero, and die as a ghost.

So far, Xiang Xiangyu refused to cross Jiangdong.

Putting down the pen, Li Yan stepped inside.

Li Yan had an extraordinary bearing, and he wrote four lines of poems in one breath, but the guards didn't dare to stop them, so they let Li Yan in.

When Lu Junyi and others saw each other, they were in a hurry!
Yan Qing quickly took out two gold garlic sticks and gave them to the poetry seller, then whispered a few words to the poetry seller.

The poetry seller put away the gold, then whispered something to the gatekeeper, and the gatekeeper let Lu Junyi, Yan Qing and others in.

After entering, Lu Junyi and others secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Li Yan did not go far away, but stood at the door and looked inside, obviously waiting for them.

Chai Jin and Yan Qing came to Li Yan, and then introduced and explained the fun to Li Yan.

Not long after, a young man came forward.

Yan Qing talked to the young man, and the young man led Li Yan and others to the third table in the front row, and quickly filled them with good tea, good wine, pastries, fruits, and candied fruit.

Yanqing took out two more garlic sticks and gave them to the boy.

Chai Jin explained to Li Yan: "This is called a tea circle, also called a tea party. Tasting tea, appreciating paintings, talking about poetry, fighting IQ, you can also talk about jokes and current affairs. Ladies will watch through the curtain. If you can be caught by them, you will be invited by them to talk and listen to music."

Wu Lin couldn't help but said, "It's just a visit to a kiln, so much attention?"

Yan Qing said with a smile: "This is not an ordinary brothel. If you have money, you may not be able to get the girl's favor. See, there are many times when men in a room compete for a lady, and many people spend a lot of money but they can't even see the lady's face. And even if they do, most of them can only chat with the young lady and listen to the young lady playing the piano and singing."

Wu Lin said, "What's the point of that?"

Chai Jin said: "This is the process, otherwise how can you show your romance?"

Chai Jin and Yan Qing were talking to Wu Lin on the surface, but in fact they were spreading knowledge about brothels to Li Yan.

After Chai Jin finished speaking, Yan Qing said again: "Don't look at those of us who have spent thousands of guan, but we probably won't see any of those famous ladies."

Wu Lin didn't believe it: "Spent thousands of money, and you can't even see each other?"

Yan Qing said: "Have you noticed the people on the other tables?"

Wu Lin looked around and found that those people were all talking, and what they talked about the most was Li Yan's going north to recover Liaoxijing.

Wu Lin asked: "You mean, they are talking about the governor going north to recover Liaoxi capital?"

Yan Qing shook her head and said: "They are showing themselves. Only those who are outstanding among them can be invited in by the ladies. We people, sitting here without saying a word, it is impossible to be invited by those ladies. Those who went in." After a pause, Yan Qing said again: "Those who were invited by the lady, in fact, just to see the lady, have to come to participate in the "Huashan Discussion of Swords" again, and compare all other people, so that they can have the opportunity to compete with them. Let's go further, miss."

Wu Lin said: "Then the girls here can't be touched?"

Yan Qing said: "It depends on your ability, if you can win the lady's heart, you can do whatever you want."

Chai Jin took over the conversation and said: "Xiao Yi is right. Under normal circumstances, it is absolutely impossible to see the real face of the lady if you don't come for three or five days in a row. It was Zhao... the official family. After he came to the tower with Gao Qiu, his thoughts flowed like a spring, he wrote several good poems, and wrote unparalleled calligraphy. Hurry up, but it was already Yin time at that time, Zhao Guan's family waited outside the door until dawn before seeing Li Xingshou come out, and then Li Xingshou only played a piece of music before going back, Zhao Guan's family couldn't even talk to Li Xing Say the last sentence first."

Chai Jin's words made Lu Junyi, Shi Wengong, Du Po and others startled. Today's officials have to wait at the door of a prostitute, and when they meet, they can't even say a word. Prostitutes must be praised too highly. Wu Lin, Yang Zaixing, Yao Xing and others couldn't understand why these literati made such a simple thing so complicated. As for Li Yan, after listening to Chai Jin talking about Li Shishi and Zhao Ji, It is somewhat embarrassing, but also a little complacent!

Yan Qing said conclusively: "So, let's just see it today."

Taking a peek at Li Yan, Yan Qing went on to say: "That Hua Xiangrong we met during the day has righteousness in her heart, and it's a pity to live in prostitution, sir, please show mercy and help her redeem herself later. "

Yan Qing is not the only one who is smart, Li Zhu and Fang Xuedu have already seen that Li Yan is very interested in Hua Xiangrong, and guessed that Li Yan probably came here for Hua Xiangrong this time.

therefore--

Li Zhu said: "That little lady shouldn't spend her whole life in this dusty place, the high officials should show this mercy."

Fang Xuedu said: "Your Majesty, you still lack a clever maid, Xiao Ke sees that little lady named Hua Xiangrong is quite suitable."

Yan Qing, Li Zhu, and Fang Xuedu sang together like this, and the others were not stupid, so how could they not know what was going on?What's more, Li Yan has never stopped redeeming Hua Xiangrong's body.
