Chapter 469 Yunling family! (Please subscribe!)
Smelling all kinds of aromas, Zhang Twelve was indeed a little hungry.

But Zhang Twelve doesn't plan to eat these snacks, he is a carnivore, and he needs to eat some hard food to treat himself at this time!
Walking along this street, he came to a door that looked like a restaurant and a brothel. Zhang Twelve looked up at the plaque on the attic, and there were four large characters written on it:

Yunling people!

Standing here, in addition to hearing the silk and bamboo orchestra and the woman's melodious voice in the building, Zhang Twelve also vaguely heard the sound of a stream of water. In order to verify his guess, Zhang Twelve did not go into the building, but toward the Walking behind the restaurant, passing the restaurant, I saw the not-so-broad river behind!

I have long heard that when the Yunling River flows through Jinling, there are several branches in it, running through Jinling City, so it is called a water town!

And this "Yunling Family" was named "Yunling Family" precisely because it stood on the bank of a branch of the Yunling River. It was precisely because Zhang Twelve had guessed this that he ran to the back to find out!
Zhang Twelve's knowledge of ancient Jiangnan in his previous life was based on historical novels, apart from television.

Most of the descriptions of the land south of the Yangtze River in the novel focus on the West Lake, but any place next to the West Lake will always be lined with high-rise buildings and floating boats, making it a beautiful place in the south of the Yangtze River, which is extremely prosperous.

What I see today, although there is no West Lake, but the Yunling River is comparable to it. The river is sparkling, cruise ships pass by, and pedestrians are weaving along the shore. In addition to this "Yunling family", the teahouses and wine shops on the street are also doing business. prosperous.

The prosperity of Jinling is vividly displayed in this place!
The reason why I concluded that the "Yunling family" in front of me is not a restaurant but a brothel is mainly because the person standing outside the door and welcoming customers there is an elderly woman who is very coquettishly dressed. The most amazing thing is her chin. The big black mole on it was exactly the same as the image of the old bustard that Zhang Twelve had seen on TV, so Zhang Twelve concluded that this is a brothel without a doubt!
Which restaurant dares to let this kind of thing come out to welcome customers?Isn't that a self-defeating sign?

But if it's a brothel, then it's a different matter...

…………

The first thing Zhang Twelve has to solve now is the problem of eating. In that case, he should go to a regular restaurant—but thinking of his lofty ambition of "I must visit all the brothels in the Tang Dynasty", Zhang Twelve raised his legs and walked towards "Yunling family".

Based on his understanding, there are not only girls in this brothel, but wine and side dishes are also essential, so feeding your stomach shouldn't be a problem, right?

Comforting himself in this way, Zhang Twelve came to the door of "Yunling Family".

The old bustard who was there to welcome the guests saw someone walking towards him, with a bright smile on his face, he hurriedly said, "My guest, you want to—"

When she saw the appearance and clothes of the visitor, she stopped talking.

Leaving aside the incomparably ugly appearance of the man in front of him, just looking at the clothes that are not as good as a beggar - how dare he come to the "Yunling family"?

Although many of the girls in the building are engaged in flesh and blood business, as long as they give money, it is disgusting to think about doing that with such an ugly person...

Besides, seeing how shabby his clothes are, he doesn't look like a rich man!
Thinking of this, the old bustard had already made up his mind, the expression on his face became serious, and his tone suddenly changed: "Where did you come from begging? Go to another house! Don't delay my mother's business!"

"........."

Zhang Twelve looked down at his clothes, and almost forgot that he just wanted to get into the homeless people quickly, so he made his clothes into this tattered appearance. Easy to miss!
But this is not an excuse for you to look down on me!

Zhang Twelve raised his eyebrows and said, "Why, open the door for business, and drive customers out?"

When Zhang Twelve's words came out, the madam was a little dazed for a while, because she felt that what she said didn't seem to match the person's appearance. If she only listened to these words, it seemed a bit like a scholar's words, but The person in front of him - he doesn't look like that!

The old bustard just paused for a moment, thinking about wearing this look, how could she be a scholar?I'm afraid it's not a guy who has been begging for a long time, and even his lips have become slippery!
Then he sneered and said: "That's why we get any guests! If those guests come to our building with money to spend, they will naturally be very welcome! As for those who are penniless and want to join in the fun, hehe, there is no door!"

As he said that, he glanced at Zhang Twelve coldly. The meaning of that look couldn't be more obvious. Isn't it saying that he is penniless and just joining in the fun?
Zhang Twelve was so angry that he took out a few banknotes from his sleeve, waved them in front of the old bustard, and said with a sneer, "Penniless? Are you talking about me?"

When the old bustard saw the bank note in Zhang Twelve's hand, his eyes went straight!
Based on her observations just now, the minimum face value of those banknotes is 1000 taels, so how much does he have in his hand?
The purpose of doing the flesh and blood business is just to make money, but the old bustard has been in the flesh and blood business all his life, and he has not earned as much money as this man's money!

So the attitude took a 180-degree turn, and he said with an unusually attentive smile: "What did the uncle say? Look at the unusual aura of the uncle. How can I think that the uncle is penniless?"

It's embarrassing for the bustard, she originally wanted to say "unusual" face or clothes, but when she thought about the appearance of the person in front of her, she couldn't keep her mouth shut, so she could only say "aura" in a hurry...

Hearing this, Zhang Twelve sneered even more in his heart, this is really a model of whoever has a milk is a mother!When you hear that you are rich, don't change your attitude too quickly!

But it's meaningless to argue with such a bustard, Zhang Twelve said, "Then can I go in?"

"Of course you can! Uncle, please hurry up!"

The procuress saw that she had done that kind of business before, and her tone suddenly became flattering. It would be acceptable for a young woman to do so, but she is so old and her appearance is really not flattering, so to say so— —Zhang Twelve really feels like vomiting...

Without further entanglement, Zhang Twelve walked into the building.

…………

Perhaps it was because it was still early, and the nightlife in Jinling City hadn't started yet, and the "Yunling Family" was not as popular as Zhang Twelve's imagined.

In the hall on the first floor, there were scattered three or four tables of guests. They looked like young scholars in their attire. They were drinking wine and looking up at the direction of the second-floor platform.

And on the second floor, there is a platform for performances. At this time, there is a coquettish woman in a thin spun red dress dancing on it.

All the talented scholars in the hall applauded repeatedly whenever they saw something exciting, and they were very supportive.

Zhang Twelve looked at the woman's appearance, and it was just above average, and the make-up was too thick and gaudy, it had already covered up her original appearance, who knows what she looks like without makeup?
Zhang Twelve had seen a lot of women on the Internet. Putting on makeup was like changing her hair. Therefore, in his eyes, he would not comment on women who put on make-up.

After finding a corner, Zhang Twelve sat down.

Seeing that Zhang Twelve had been staring at the woman on the stage since entering the room, the bustard immediately smiled and said, "Master, could it be that he has taken a fancy to the little red girl upstairs? That master's eyesight is really good! Little Hong is very popular now, young and good-looking, I don’t know how many people think about us Xiaohong! If the uncle wants, the slave family can specially arrange for Xiaohong to come here for the uncle..."

As he spoke, he gave Zhang Twelve a very disgusting look, thinking that as a man, Zhang Twelve would definitely understand what she meant.

Zhang Twelve understood, but he still felt very disgusted and disdainful!
What do you mean this little red is very popular?Zhang Twelve didn't believe it!

By the way, Zhang Twelve is also a person who has seen several brothels, so he naturally knows, how can it be so easy to see the really sought-after big names?
Rare things are precious, and so are people. Exposure is necessary, but if exposed every day, the novelty will be lost.

And now is not prime time, where will the real big names come out?
Hehe, you don’t know anything about bullying me?
Zhang Twelve sneered in his heart and said, "Is there any good food in the building?"

"what?"

Hearing Zhang Twelve asked if there was any food, the bustard was a little confused for a while, and it was not her fault. Although the "Yunling family" did have food, their main business was girls, and the food was just an additional item. The guests come here for the girl, how can anyone come here for the food?
If you want to eat food, just go to the restaurant directly, why come to their brothel?
Because of this, the bustard was stunned for a while, it was the first time seeing such a strange customer!

"Master...the food, of course there are..."

In a brothel, the dishes are all small dishes, just for the sake of not being too monotonous when drinking, and the price is naturally not high. The place where the money is earned comes from the girls. There is such a big money around, but the order is the cheapest in the building. It's no wonder the bustard is anxious.

"Then serve me some hard dishes of chicken, duck and fish, it's not bad! I'm starving to death!"

Zhang Twelve waved his big hand.

"........."

The bustard is about to cry, knowing that you are not short of money, but what kind of chicken, duck and fish - we don't have any!
"Master, this is a brothel, where can we have chicken, duck and fish meat? How about I serve you some side dishes?"

After listening to the procuress, and looking at the seductive woman writhing in the stands, Zhang Twelve didn't think it was interesting, and thought that this brothel in the amorous south of the Yangtze River would have a unique style, but so, disappointed and disappointed!
They don't even have chicken, duck and fish meat, so why do you want this!
Zhang Twelve wanted to leave directly, so he might as well go to a restaurant to have a good time, but suddenly he heard the conversations of the people at the next table, and suddenly became interested, so he didn't want to leave, so he just waved his hands and said, "I just came to Jinling, and I don't like this place too much." I'm not very familiar with it, how about you go and buy me some wine and meat, this is for you!"

Seeing Zhang Twelve's action of pulling something out of his sleeve, the bustard was full of excitement, and nodded hurriedly, thinking that he had so many bank notes in his hand—couldn't he want to take one as a tip for me?
When she saw that what Zhang Twelve took out was a piece of silver from his sleeve, the disappointment on her face was particularly obvious. It is still a little too little for the bank notes.

I felt uncomfortable, but I took it anyway.

Anyway, he is a foreigner, and he doesn't know much about the prices here. After he buys it back, he deliberately said that the price of the dish is more expensive-in any case, he will extort more money...

With this in mind, the bustard went out quickly...

After she left, Zhang Twelve listened to the conversations of other people in the hall with great interest.

…………

"Brother Li, why hasn't he come today? Didn't he say yesterday that he wanted to tell us whether the monkey came out of the mountain or not?"

Someone asked.

"That's right! I thought about it all night when I went back yesterday. If monkeys are really suppressed for hundreds of years, wouldn't they be useless?"

Another person echoed.

"Hey! Brother Li is good at everything, but it's too bad not to continue every time you talk about the key points! Let us people think about it, but he doesn't know where he went..."

"Humph!"

After listening to these people's complaints, someone gave a disdainful "hum", and then said: "Then what is Li Datou capable of? He just listened to the stories told by others, and he really thinks that he is also that little gentleman, bah!"

After the man finished speaking, he even spat, showing his contempt.

When the others heard this, they immediately echoed and said, "Yes! I heard that the story of the monkey comes from a place called "Twelve Theater" in Jingzhou. There are not only stories about monkeys, but also many other stories! Hey, Blessed are those Jingzhou people!"

Speaking of this, everyone also showed envy.

Although it is far away from Jingzhou, the national capital, Jinling City is located in the south of the Yangtze River, with a suitable climate and a prosperous literary style. There are many talented scholars and beautiful ladies in the city. Even if it is not the national capital, the pride of the people here is not weaker than that of Jingzhou people!

If there is a place in the Tang Dynasty who dares to look down on Jingzhou people, it can only be Jinling people!

What is available in Jingzhou is also available in Jinling, but what is available in Jinling may not be available in Jingzhou!
To be a Jinling person is to be so proud!
However, this sense of pride was hit by a wave of shocks a few months ago, and it became more and more intense. It was all because of the story in the "Twelve Theatre", and everyone in Jinling was amazed that there is such a story in this world. ?

Although I don't want to admit it, this story is really nice!
Just like this group of scholars now, they used to come to "Yunling Family" to listen to music or find girls to have fun, but now, they just want to listen to the stories that Li Datou told them from Jingzhou!
Hey, for the first time in many years, Jinling people will have an illusion:

It's great to be a native of Jingzhou!
