Chapter 92 Huifangli

Fengtian, Huifangli.

The ice melts and the snow melts, and spring warms up in April.When the breeze blows, it's neither cold nor hot, just right.

When the lights are turned on, the music is loud and the shop gradually starts to fill up.

Xu Ruqing changed into a lotus leaf green cheongsam and was chatting and laughing in the lobby as usual.The big teapot Fulong put a handkerchief on his shoulders and nodded and bowed to greet guests and see off guests. Naturally, he was not idle.The orchestra on the stage was playing music, surrounded by a girl in the middle, holding a mandarin duck board in her left hand and a drum and arrow in her right hand, humming the Fengtian drum.

Although there are still people coming and going at the door, which seems to never stop, the "Huifangli" today is much deserted than in previous years, and there are empty tables from time to time.

how?
It turns out that Zhou Yunfu's business has not been going well in recent years, not only due to pressure from the government, but also from other places.

Since the end of the Russo-Japanese War and the opening of Fengtian as a port, business has flourished, and more and more outsiders have come here to make a living. Competition in all walks of life is fierce, and even the prostitution business is not immune.

In the early years, most of the prostitutes in Fengtian were mediocre. Their business activities were "opening plates" and "drawing notes". The little songs sung in them were all in the tune of drums and bangzi. Those who could sing Xipi Erhuang were not Most of the girls are from Beijing, Tianjin, Shandong and other places, and there are few indigenous people.

That person said: Why are girls outside the customs so noble?

The people who are talking about this are the same people, so there is no such big difference. There are certainly many earthen kilns with cornfields and half-opened doors outside the pass.

However, since this brothel is a business, it naturally has its own secrets. It is by no means just relying on looks and selling meat to make it prosperous.

Although Fengtian has stood up in the past few years, the lights and wires have been connected, and it looks great, but compared with the wealthy places such as Jingcheng and Jiangzuo that have been prosperous for hundreds of years, it lacks a little bit of background, and some businesses are not as good as before. Silly and stunned, he didn't use his strength less, but he didn't make much money.

Take a prostitute as an example. How much money can you make if you only know how to "open dishes" and "draw money"?You have to do "calling the bureau", "going out to make notes", "flower wine", and "playing games". You have to do a little bit of everything, and then ask a few kiln ladies to go out regularly to "walk around" and advertise your home, so that you can do business. big.

Xu Ruqing was able to take the lead and run "Huifangli" into the only prostitution house in Fengtian precisely because of his background and broad knowledge.

However, since the end of Guangxu, especially in the past few years, more and more people have come from Fengtian to the south. Women from the water town are gentle, elegant and have a unique charm, which naturally attracts many guests.

As a result, Fengtian prostitutes gradually divided into two gangs, the North and the South.

That’s not all. Large and small “Mao-Russian brothels”, “Oriental brothels” and even “Korean brothels” appeared one after another in the city. In addition, in order to facilitate management, the government gradually concentrated prostitutes in the city into small brothels. The area near Xiguan attracted a lot of passengers, causing "Huifangli" to suffer heavy losses.

Being poor means wanting to change, so Zhou Yunfu finally decided to open another location in Xiaoxiguan and build a foreign-style building. When it was completed, he would ask Xu Ruqing to move there and open the business.

Fortunately, Chuan'erhong is in charge. In this period of transition between the old and the new, although the business of "Huifangli" has been affected to some extent, it still maintains its former glory thanks to the regular customers accumulated over the years.

Not to mention others, Wang Yanzong, the patrol camp manager, visited regularly and never failed to visit.

Every time when the pay day comes, Wang Yanzong will definitely come to "Huifangli", say hello to Xu Ruqing, and go straight to the private room on the second floor - for no other reason than to come to Zhao Lingchun!
In a few years, Zhao Lingchun became slim and graceful. Not only was his skin white and beautiful, his hair was like smoke, but he also followed Xu Ruqing's example and gradually became eloquent.

It's a pity that the scar on her eyebrow made her destined not to be the number one.

This man!There are only blessings that cannot be enjoyed, and there are no sins that cannot be endured!
How can there be so many painful scenes involving beatings and scolding?
Zhao Lingchun was given to Xu Ruqing by Mrs. Feng and entered "Huifangli". As time passed, no one needed to force her to do anything. Unknowingly, she accepted the situation and followed her into the sea and became a kiln sister.

Only in the dead of night, when she was taking off her makeup in front of the mirror, would she suddenly freeze as if she had lost her soul, and suddenly remember that her name was He Chun.

The world is tough and everyone has a hard time.

You say you were born in a miserable life, how do you know that others must have everything they want?

If you talk too much, you will only be criticized as hypocritical.

As time goes by, no matter how much pain you have, you can only swallow it in your heart, frowning all day long, showing it to whom, and who cares?

So, Zhao Lingchun simply changed his mind and pretended to be cheerful and lively in front of outsiders, laughing and joking all day long, even a little crazy.

Unexpectedly, the more she behaves like this, the better her business will be.It turns out that the kiln sisters from the southern gang pay attention to being shy, affectionate, affectionate, and lovable; but the kiln sisters from the northern gang, especially those from Fengtian, always beat and scold their guests.

The men in Kanto are really good at this!
The girl bowed her head in shame and remained silent. The client was not happy to see him and thought he looked down on him. If he had to say a few words to him, he would hit him on the arm and scold him, "It's shameless." Then he became beautiful. He thought it was a girl kissing him.

Especially this Wang Yanzong, who usually yells at his subordinates and seems to be quite the same, but as soon as he met Zhao Lingchun, he immediately became a fool. He would hold people's little hands when nothing happened, with a big face.

"Chun'er! How about I redeem it for you? Then come with me!"

As soon as he heard this, Zhao Lingchun knew that Wang Yanzong was drunk again.

"You're teasing me here again!" Zhao Lingchun pinched his arm, "You don't have a straight mouth!"

"Hit me?" Wang Yanzong played with the wine glass on the table and said, "Brother, I sincerely want to marry you, not to make trouble with you!"

Zhao Lingchun picked up the jug and poured wine for him: "Everyone says the same thing, but I haven't seen anyone who is serious about it."

"I'm different from them!"

"What's the difference?"

"Bang!"

Wang Yanzong, under the influence of alcohol, slapped the gun at his waist on the table and said, "Just because of this, I am different from them!"

Zhao Lingchun was not frightened. He was used to it, so he instinctively followed the smile and flattered him.

"Of course it's good to have this. If you go up two more levels, you probably won't have to redeem me. Sister Hong can give me to you directly."

"Really?"

"almost."

Zhao Lingchun was not telling lies.

In the past two years, Xu Ruqing has been trying to please the upper management of the patrol camp, and Zhao Lingchun is not a big name. If Wang Yanzong really becomes a task, she will certainly be happy to send this favor.

When Wang Yanzong heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he saw hope.

Although he has some power, he is just a warrior after all. Compared with those wealthy businessmen, his pockets are really poor. If he really wants to use money to redeem Zhao Lingchun, there is probably no chance. However, it is not possible to use power for personal gain based on his own status. Maybe it can be done.

When he was so excited, Wang Yanzong immediately patted his chest and said, "This matter is easy to handle! Just tell Sister Hong and ask her to wait for me to pick up someone!"

This may seem like bragging and not drafting, but in fact, it is not wishful thinking.

In troubled times, the military attache is at the top!
You have a gun in your hand, but if you follow the right person, you can get a cheap deal and get promoted.

After all, who would have thought that Wang Yanzong, who was just a beard who blocked roads and robbed people a few years ago, would now be in charge of the first battalion and receive a salary from the court.

Zhao Lingchun couldn't help but ask: "You always talk about fighting, fighting, don't you worry about what might happen?"

"Afraid?" Wang Yanzong snorted coldly, "If I'm afraid, I won't do this. When I was a beard, who didn't fight against the imperial court, the Japanese, and Maozi? War on the mountain top was a common occurrence! When have I ever been afraid of your brother? "

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a loud bang downstairs, followed by screams!
