Chapter 65

Fang Jingzhe tucked the note into his belt, opened the door and called the waiter over.

"Young man, what are your orders?"

"Bring me a pot of hot tea and a pot of hot water. By the way, my friend said that he will be here in a few days. When I am away during the day, will anyone come to look for me?"

The waiter in the shop thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Young Xia, the people who go up to the second floor are all hotel guests, and I haven't seen anyone looking for anyone today."

"Oh." Fang Jingzhe nodded, and sighed again: "Then I think it's a delay. That's enough, you go down."

After sending the waiter away, Fang Jingzhe took out the note again.

While burning the note on the candle, he pondered what the waiter said.

If the clerk in the store is not lying, it means that the person who came in to put the note while he was not in the room must also be a resident on the second floor.

As long as I check the check-in booklet, I might be able to find clues...

But Fang Jingzhe quickly denied this idea.

The other party may not have thought of this, maybe that person no longer lives here at this time.

Of course, staying here does not mean that the other party has checked out the room. After all, there are people everywhere waiting to watch the "Oiran Contest", so checking out at this time will be very conspicuous.

Therefore, the person who left the note just needs to pretend nothing happened.

Firstly, you can continue to hide your identity, and secondly, you can observe Fang Jingzhe's every move up close.

It seems that he must go to this appointment.

Just let yourself go to Chunmanlou when you are young, what are you going to do?

You can't invite yourself to visit the brothel!

According to the big data analysis of the martial arts film and television dramas he has watched, Fang Jingzhe feels that he probably has another identity, maybe he is a killer or a shadow.

In short, if you don't handle it well, it might affect your clearance of this dungeon.

What a hassle!

Fang Jingzhe's hand unconsciously tapped on the table of the Eight Immortals, recalling the news about Chunfenglou that he heard from a few dudes in the restaurant today.

Like the Red Pavilion and the Qunyu Courtyard, the Spring Breeze Building is one of the eight brothels in Jinling Mansion.

The oiran candidate they launched this year is named Xia Zijin.

This person's name comes from four sentences in "The Book of Songs": Qingqing Zijin, caress my heart, even if I don't go, Zining doesn't listen?

The original poem is about a girl who misses her lover, which means: Your green collar is deeply lingering in my heart, although I can't find you, why don't you take the initiative to send me a message?

The clothes of many academies around the world are mainly blue. It can be said that Chunfenglou chose this name for her very cleverly.

And this Xia Zijin's appearance is outstanding, and she is quite proficient in poetry, so since she was listed in Chunfenglou, she has been sought after by countless literati.

But if you want to see her, gold and silver are not enough, you have to win the tea circle with other people before you can enter the building.

The content of Xia Zijin's tea circle is also unusual.

Every time, she has to come up with a question and ask the guests to compose a poem impromptu. Only the person whose poem is approved by her on that day is the winner of the tea circle.

So so far, there are very few guests who have seen Xia Zijin, but every one of them is a master in the literary world, and they all admire Xia Zijin.

The most important thing is that these people met Xia Zijin only to drink tea and write poems with her, which is really extremely elegant.

As a result, if anyone said that he wanted to be Xia Zijin's guest in the curtain, he would be sneered at by these people and dismissed as a mud leg with no elegance.

Therefore, among the current oiran candidates in Jinling Mansion.

This Xia Zijin is the only one who is noble.

……

Fang Jingzhe didn't think about going to Chunfeng Building until Zishi, it seemed too deliberate.

The business hours of the brothel here are from Shenshi to Chenshi the next day (converted to modern time, it opens at [-]:[-] pm and continues until [-]:[-] the next morning).

Of course, if the guests do not want to leave, they can continue to stay in the building.

As long as the money is available, guests can stay as long as they like.

Fang Jingzhe chose a time that was neither up nor down - Xu time.

This point is also the busiest time for the brothel, most people will choose to go to the brothel for entertainment after they are drunk and full.

At night, the lights come on.

Fang Jingzhe was dressed in a brocade robe, and stood at the entrance of Chunfeng Tower with the freshly exchanged 100 taels of silver in his pocket.

Chunfeng Tower is not a painting boat, but it is also close to the bank of the Qinhuai River. It is presumably chosen for the sake of enjoying the scenery of the Qinhuai River.

At the entrance of Chunfeng Building, there is no scantily clad young lady in Fang Jingzhe's imagination to solicit business along the street.

On the contrary, it looks like a mansion of a wealthy family, with several red lanterns hanging in front of the gate, and under the lanterns is Qing Yishui, a young servant in gray bunt clothes standing beside him,
When a guest comes to the door, the servant will greet him with a smile on his face, and then lead the guest into the building.

Fang Jingzhe glanced briefly, and found that these people must be either rich or noble.

Most of them came in their own carriages, and besides the coachman, they also brought one or two attendants, and the expenses of these people would all be counted on the head of the master.

In fact, according to the "Yue Shi Bian" records, many brothels in ancient times were just places of entertainment for literati to sing music, play the piano, and recite poems. They were very high-end places, not the kind of places that modern people imagined. .

Of course, there were quite a few people who came on foot like Fang Jingzhe, and the boy at the door didn't treat them differently because of this.

"This guest, you haven't been here for a long time. My sisters have missed you, so I'll take you in." The young man in gray was eloquent, bent slightly, and led the way.

Fang Jingzhe said in his heart: It's my first time here, what do you mean I haven't been here for a long time, could it be that this guy with this identity often comes here?No wonder he couldn't find a single coin on his body.

"My first time here."

Hearing Fang Jingzhe's reply, the servant wasn't embarrassed, he still smiled and said: "The guest officer is so kind, but when I was young, I made a mistake. I will ask my mother to come and pick a good one for the guest officer later."

After talking, the two arrived at the banquet hall of Chunfeng Building.

There are dozens of tables, large and small, and half of them are already filled with guests and beautiful ladies.

In front of the hall, there is a vermilion platform with a size of twenty steps. Behind the platform is covered with tulle, and people inside can be seen carrying Yueqin, flute, zither and other musical instruments.

I think there should be musicians there, and this stage is mostly used for singing and dancing.

I really complied with the sentence: "Go to the bar and listen to the music."

"Guest, what do you think of this location? This is facing the high platform, and you will be able to see the singing and dancing performances in a while."

The servant brought Fang Jingzhe to a table farthest from the stage.

Fang Jingzhe knew with his toes that those really good seats were probably reserved for regular customers. For a first-time guest like him, unless he paid two ingots of silver, he could only sit here.

Two ingots of silver are ten taels, which is too extravagant to reward, and besides, he really didn't come here to visit brothels.

"It's fine here."

"Then guest officer, please sit down slowly, and the younger one will go and call mother."

After the gray-clothed boy left, Fang Jingzhe heard someone whispering something in the curtained seat next to him.

If it weren't for his amazing hearing, he really wouldn't be able to hear.
