Zhu Tian: The Fiery Years Begin with Taking Qin Huairu as a Concubine

Chapter 45: Talking about ideals without money
Because they don't meet Zhang Kaiwu's aesthetic standards, and they really look like...

It's really disgusting.

It was afternoon time, and many of the girls were putting on makeup and getting ready at the windows upstairs.

Maybe it is also a means to attract customers, there are girls standing at the windows everywhere.

It is easy to see the legendary brothel girls, they are everywhere.

but!

Their faces are painted white, they all look like ghosts!

Zhang Kaiwu’s eyes are very useful and look scary!
The hair is basically the same as that worn by opera singers, very complicated, with many wigs.

The headdresses they wore were also very exaggerated ones worn by opera singers. Maybe their original talent show was opera singing.

He was basically wearing thick costumes, covering his body from his neck below his chin to his feet.

Nothing can be seen.

Oh my god!

They were wearing so many clothes that Zhang Kaiwu was worried that they would get heatstroke.

There is no cheongsam that opens to the hips...

No pretty face...

No buttocks...

Without the jade hairpin as in the legend, the beauty is half-covered...

There were no leggings seen in the brothel!

There was no veil in sight either!
Zhang Kaiwu couldn't even tell what he originally looked like.

What kind of shit does that bastard Lao Liu write?
No wonder the emperor looked down on Lao Liu. He must have been fooled by Lao Liu.

I ran there excitedly, but was extremely disappointed.

Why don't you let him be an official?

If Old Liu hadn't been dead for thousands of years, Zhang Kaiwu would have to send him some razor blades.

Just a token of my gratitude!

…………

Sad.

It is true that hearing about someone is not as good as meeting him, and meeting him is not as good as hearing about him.

Damn it!

It destroys your worldview!

It ruined Zhang Kaiwu's long-cherished beautiful yearning for the brothel.

In front of us is the largest brothel, with two floors and eight rooms.

Zhang Kaiwu felt that it was the largest, perhaps because this brothel was a rare brick structure in this large alley.

It is a two-story brick and wood building with a pointed roof.

The corridor in the middle is a U-shaped staircase, and the entire brothel is in the shape of a U.

Zhang Kaiwu walked in silently. There was no mama-san collecting admission tickets?
Free! ?

Maybe he's not a regular customer?

The first floor was packed with people, and people kept shouting "good" loudly.

A woman in a costume, makeup, and high heels.

Accompanied by various traditional musical instruments, he stood on the middle stage and sang.

After watching for a while, I realized that it was indeed opera singing, but it was a woman singing.

Yiyi is singing an opera...

There aren't many songs...

Zhang Kaiwu didn't understand a word!
He knows a lot of little songs.

…………

There are seven or eight rooms on the second floor surrounding the central point for customers to watch performances, just like the booths in a disco.

Those were probably the VIP seats, and Zhang Kaiwu guessed that there would be a charge for them.

Because there were several women dressed in theatrical costumes, with heavily painted faces, accompanying the guests for dinner and drinks.

Talk about life ideals and the art of opera.

Talking about ideals doesn’t cost money.

You have to pay for food and drinks, right?

Aren’t they afraid of heatstroke?
He was wearing more clothes than the guests who paid for the meal.

So this is the brothel...

I can't even see the face or the feet, how can I just guess?! ?
Those who sing opera and those who play the piano.

Wearing costumes to eat with others.

Playing is an art.

Not as good as the dancing girls in Tik Tok, you can still see a little bit...

…………

After watching the opera for a while, someone in a private room on the second floor offered a tip. The eunuch shouted loudly: "Ma Caizi gave us a tip of ten dollars! Xiaoqing thanks you for the tip!"

The woman who was singing in the audience was so happy that she squatted down to greet Xu Caizi!
The audience began to hear loud gongs and drums, creating a very festive atmosphere!
The woman who was singing in the audience squatted and saluted!
She performed a West Chamber move and looked at Ma Caizi gracefully.

She sang and drank, "Thank you Ma Caizi for your kindness!"

…………

In another private room on the second floor of the stage, someone was not convinced.

Another customer gave a tip, it seems like he is really not convinced! ?
Still very angry!

He gave twenty dollars in one go!

The turtle slave sang excitedly: "Xu Caizi gave us a reward of twenty dollars! Xiaoqing thanks you for the reward!"

There was another round of loud gongs and drums...

The woman who was singing in the audience squatted and bowed to Xu Caizi again!
Because the money given this time was much more, Xiaoqing performed a Farewell My Concubine!
Lying on the stage, with legs lifted, she looks at the egrets' nests with seductive eyes, and draws her jade hairpin diagonally beside the lamplight...

Seeing the talent show, the freeloaders in the audience cheered wildly!

After a while, it was just like the PK on some apps or some music...

Ma Caizi and Xu Caizi kept fighting each other...

The freeloaders in the audience have already screamed until their throats are sore, and they keep shouting...

"Okay, okay, okay!"

This play is no longer sung...

Zhang Kaiwu was stunned!
That's it!

That’s how money comes! ?

No wonder there is no admission fee, even I became the background to liven up the crowd! ?

…………

An old man in his fifties or sixties, wearing a tattered gown, was stunned when he saw Zhang Kaiwu.

He smiled and asked, "Brother, is this your first time here? You look very unfamiliar. I wonder if you have opened your eyes."

"Young Master Xiaoqing's Kunqu opera is unique, and people often compete with him."

Zhang Kaiwu glanced at him with disdain. He was already so old, but he was still hanging around downstairs on this floor! ?
Just a simple talent show.

The person on the stage just threw a few flirtatious glances and struck a few awkward poses, and you almost broke your throats by shouting!

How dare you laugh at me! ?
If you picked up your phone and saw conscience and all kinds of skirting the rules, wouldn’t you want to go in and applaud? ?
The old man saw his contemptuous look, but didn't mind.

He introduced it proudly and said, "Do you know the rules of this brothel? There are eight things you are not allowed to do in a brothel. Don't talk about them!"

Zhang Kaiwu handed over a stick of Hardman incense and the two of them lit a fire.

He asked curiously: "There is such a thing, tell me about it!"

The old man proudly introduced:
“Don’t sneak away.

There are usually no more than ten girls in a brothel, and they are all trained from a young age.

No matter how big the brothel is, there will never be more than ten people performing.

Second, no hot guests are allowed.

You cannot deliberately arouse guests' interest in giving them tips, so as to avoid trouble.

Third, you are not allowed to abandon your customers.

You cannot deliberately be cold and unkind to a customer just because of his or her appearance.

4. It is not allowed to receive government guests without permission.

Because it's easy to get into trouble.

Five, you are not allowed to "live secretly".

That is to say, the girl goes to other places to perform privately.

6. It is not allowed to save private money.

7. You are not allowed to pay for popular customers.

You can’t pay for a client you have a good relationship with, no matter how handsome the young man is.

8. Do not use swear words or discouraging words.

Dragon, tiger, dream, lamp, bridge, tower, ghost, crying.

These eight words are the most taboo words for them, and girls have to use other words instead.

You can't touch these words! ?
Dragon called Sea Emperor

Tiger shouts at the sea mouth

Dream called the horn

The lamp is called Liangzi.

The bridge is called Haikongzi.

The tower is called Zuantianzi.

The ghost is called Walako.

Cry and call for help. "
