Water Margin people

Chapter 61
On the second floor, the two women smiled and asked Sun Lei whether to go to a separate room or the flower hall on the second floor.

"What's the difference between a room and a flower hall?"

Sun Lei asked the two girls curiously.

"This room is for the two of us to serve the high officials, drink and sing songs. If the high officials want to stay overnight, they have to book another room."

said the woman on the left.

"The flower hall is to serve the son to drink in the hall, and we serve the high officials to watch other girls sing and perform."

The woman on the right continued.

"Is this the first time for the high official to come to the brothel?"

The two women looked at Sun Lei curiously and asked, the question just now should not be asked by someone who often comes to the place of fireworks.

"I didn't know that there are so many rules in Tokyo. I thought the flower hall was full of flowers beside the bed. It's so artistic to go up and roll the petals."

Sun Lei smiled and squeezed the softness of the two women. In order to avoid the embarrassment of visiting a brothel for the first time, he directly spoke vulgarly.

"It's really interesting what the officials say!"

The two women were directly amused by Sun Lei's words. Brothels usually come to people with some knowledge and status. Although the purpose of coming is the same, they will pretend to be gentle. As for the vulgar ones, they will be able to tell It can be seen that there are very few people who look at Sun Lei so politely and speak directly.

"Go to the flower hall if you are interested!"

Sun Lei understood what kind of services this brothel provided, except that looking for a girl to spend the night was watching a talented performance, staying overnight was naturally going to the room, and watching talent was going to the flower hall.

After walking around to the flower hall at the back, Sun Lei realized that the flower hall was really full of flowers, and the fragrance was pleasant, and the arrangement of the flower hall was like a theater, with the empty one in the middle, and the first and second floors were filled with tables and chairs. Half a circle, you can see the performance on the stage below.

At this moment, there is a young woman playing a piece of music that Sun Lei has never heard before on the stage with a guzheng. The woman is beautiful, but she is only [-] years old, and her figure is a little young, not as plump as the two women in her arms. But the victory lies in the beauty and beauty.

"The official is so eccentric, he forgot about us when he saw the beautiful sister!"

The two women in Sun Lei's arms spoke coquettishly.

"My fair lady, is a gentleman so good? I am a high-ranking official called Boai!"

Sun Lei sat down and said with a smile.

After a while, someone brought drinks, snacks and the like.

"You guys can't do it in Zhen'an Square, it's too uncomfortable to sit and listen to a little song!"

Sun Lei said to the two women with a serious face.

"What dissatisfaction do you have with the high officials?"

The two women asked curiously.

"Look, how can you sit on this kind of chair to watch music? You should set up a bed. I will lie down as a high-ranking official, and you will serve me. It's interesting to listen to Xiaoqu in this way!"

Sun Lei patted the chair he was sitting on. It was too uncomfortable to sit on such a hard chair.

"Giggle!"

The two women covered their mouths and laughed. Sun Lei's bold idea made them blush. There are so many people in the flower hall lying down, so I don't know what the scene will be.

"Senior officer, drink!"

The two women laughed straight after being teased by Sun Lei, but they still didn't forget what to do, they kept leaning against Sun Lei to persuade them to drink.

"Is there no special talent here? Can the two sisters sing Shibamo?"

Sun Lei couldn't understand the music played below, and the flower hall was crowded and noisy, so he felt that it was not as interesting as listening to books in the afternoon teahouse.

"Eighteen?"

The two brothel girls were taken aback for a moment, they had seen Fengyuechang a lot, and had never heard of this song, but from these three words, it was definitely not a good song.

"The high officials sing for you..."

Sun Lei sang, moving around with his hands and feet, the two girls blushed as they followed the little song, like little girls who had never seen the world before, they had learned all the dirty and clear songs in this brothel However, this is the first time I've heard such explicit pornography.

After the song was over, the two women were already limp in Sun Lei's arms, and they kept shouting, "The officials are good or bad".

Sun Lei, the son of these two women, learned that there are [-] large brothels in Tokyo, which are eighteen squares. As for the small or floating ones, there are countless, but the most lively ones must be these eighteen squares. .

"And those flower boats outside?"

Sun Lei pointed to the flower boats along the Bian River outside the window, and there seemed to be the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras on them, and the sound was much better than this flower hall.

"It's not ordinary there, that flower boat is a candidate for the head of the oiran..."

The two women limply introduced this Tokyo brothel to Sun Lei.

It turns out that there are many kinds of brothel women. At first, they were specially trained, and then they were classified according to their beauty and talent before picking up customers. Some people can add money to accompany them if they look at it, but the top-notch ones only show their talents instead of their bodies. They only perform their talents at regular intervals every day. At most, they drink tea and chat with the guests who donate.

The flower boats outside are only owned by the most beautiful and talented people in the brothel. They all want to compete for the top spot of the oiran, claiming that they are also performing arts and not selling themselves, but not everyone can get on the flower boat. You have to pay a lot of money to make an appointment in advance, and some of them have to look at your identity not only for money, but if you don't have enough money, you won't be able to get in.

And this selection of the head of the oiran is even more lively, the model is to imitate the first woman selected in the imperial examination.As early as the Xining period, there had already been activities such as "Praise the Flower List".There will be poets who use pornographic words to judge the talents and appearance of these women.Over time, more and more experienced literati and poets began to compare the pros and cons of each woman in each brothel, calling it the "commentary flower list".

In addition to appearance, demeanor, and language, the selected items also include poetry, poetry, calligraphy and painting.Rankings are sometimes modeled on the imperial examinations, divided into first, second and third best, champion, second place, and third.

And once they are successfully selected, the value of these women will skyrocket immediately, and the power they possess will also increase accordingly. Not only do they have no worries about food and clothing, but they can also choose their own guests. neglect.

"That won't be the king of chickens!"

Sun Lei sighed. He knew that the fireworks industry in the Song Dynasty was prosperous, but he didn't expect it to be so prosperous.

"Your official said it right. Once you become the head of the oiran, even the princes and nobles will come to support it. It is also common to buy ten thousand gold. Generally, the head of the oiran will not only be equipped with the largest flower boat, but also have a separate building. Small buildings, our Zhen'an Square consists of fan buildings, and among them there is a small building exclusively for the chieftains to live in."

A woman spoke.

"Fan Tower? Is there a leader on it?"

Sun Lei became interested, and Li Shishi is said to be in Fanlou.

"My lord is late, and now the small building above the fan building is still empty, we have to wait for a new leader to come out from this workshop."

A woman on the other side spoke.

"So it is!"

Sun Lei nodded, the oiran head is chosen every year, serving people with color, and love to relax when the color fades, and a new oiran head is born every year, and the old age and color will naturally be forgotten.
