Nongmen Rice Flower Fragrance

Chapter 212 Charming Garden ([-])

After saying hello, Shiya asked carefully what kind of shop Li Xin wanted.

Li Xin also carefully described the type of shop he wanted to Shi Yaji.The main thing is the location!Regarding the size of the shop, Li Xin also hoped that the shop would have a residence, so that he would not have to buy a separate house in the county town.However, it also depends on the situation. If the shop is suitable, it is acceptable without a residence.

After all, it's not easy to find a shop that makes people very satisfied. Sometimes, it's just acceptable if it's not satisfactory.It's just that if the shop does not have a residence, it will be difficult to take care of the shop on weekdays.

"If Miss Li really wants to find a quiet place amidst the hustle and bustle, there really is a place, but..." Shi Yaji was a little hesitant.

"It doesn't matter if you talk about stone teeth." Li Xin said with a smile.Shiya Hesitant, that means that the place might be a bit taboo, but you can also listen to it, maybe it is really a suitable place!
"That's right! What are you doing hesitating! Let me know if it's appropriate or not. Normally, you're quite sharp-tongued." Mrs. Zheng gave Shiya a glare.

Shi Yaji thought for a while, and then said, "Since Madam and Miss Li want to listen, I'll talk about it. In fact, it's the former Meixiang Garden."

When Mrs. Zheng heard this, she flew into a rage, and her face was very ugly. "What? Since it's that kind of place? Shiya, there are still girls who haven't left the court here! You shouldn't mention such a place in the first place."

"Aunt Zheng's family, what is Meixiangyuan?" Li Xin was a little confused, hearing the name, it seemed like a brothel and Chuguan.However, since it is such a place that should not be mentioned, Shiya still mentions it.Either that place is in a hurry to sell, and if it is sold, it will give Shiya a lot of money.Or, the place is really good, Shiya said this time.

"You're a girl, don't ask these questions." Mrs. Zheng didn't explain.

"If you don't look at this place, then there is really no good place to make a move."

"Then go back and have a look, and let me know if you find something suitable." Mrs. Zheng sent Shiya out first.

Li Xin sat down for a while, then left too.Li Xin thought for a while, but still felt that he should go and see what Shi Ya said. After all, no matter whether it was really suitable or not, he had to take a look before talking.If you miss a good place, it may not be easy to find a good shop.

"Caiyun, let's go out for a while." Li Xin said after walking around the Zheng family's garden.

"Miss, what's the matter?" Caiyun asked a little strangely, if she wanted to go out, why didn't the lady come with someone else earlier?

"What can I do! Just go out for a stroll, it's rare to come to the county town! Let's go! Don't you want to go out?"

"Slaves naturally want to go out." Caiyun happily responded.The two left Zheng's house and went for a stroll outside.Speaking of which, Li Xin really didn't know where the Shiya Covenant lived. Since the Shiya Covenant had left earlier, Li Xin couldn't ask Madam Zheng.Whether Meixiangyuan is a sensitive topic, it's better not to talk about it casually.

After walking for a while, she asked people about the stone tooth peddler. The Zheng family would mainly look for the stone tooth peddler. She looked familiar with Shiya peddler and Mrs. Zheng. The stone tooth peddler must be quite famous in the county!As long as you are famous, it will be easier to find.Li Xin asked the clerk of a shop, and he actually got the address of Shi Yaji's house.

Now that he had asked for the address, Li Xin took Caiyun to Shiya's house.

"Miss also said that there is nothing to do! It's a lie." Caiyun pouted and looked at Li Xin with some grievances.

"You! We have plenty of time to go shopping. Let's finish our business first. When the shops in the county town open, you can come to live in the county town if you want." Li Xin poked Caiyun's forehead.

"But miss, haven't you already met the stone tooth swindler? Why are you looking for the stone tooth sleight of hand?" Caiyun frowned.

"Don't ask so many questions. I'll tell you when I get back. The most important thing for us now is to find the stone-toothed demon first."

The two of them walked all the way to Shiya's house. Shiya is considered a middle-level family in the county. Compared with ordinary people's homes, their lives are better, but they cannot be compared with rich families. of.The houses that lived on the same street as Shiyaji, at a glance, were all about the same size.

It seems that people who can live in this place can see their family background.

After finding the location of Shiya's house, Li Xin went up and knocked on the door.

"Who is it!" A voice answered, "Da da da..." came running to open the door.The door opened, and there was a middle-aged woman standing inside the door, not luxuriously dressed, but very neat, one could tell that she was a hardworking person.

"Excuse me, is this Shiya's house?" Li Xin asked with a smile.

"Yes, I don't know what the girl wants to do with the head of my family?"

"It's like this. I want to buy a shop, so I came to ask if there is any suitable one for Shiya. I don't know if Shiya is at home?"

"It's time for the girl to come. The head of my family has just returned, come in!" The woman stepped aside and let Li Xin and Caiyun walk in.The courtyard is a small courtyard with two entrances, and the outside is a patio style.The yard is very clean and tidy, and it looks like you and the dog give people a good impression.

"The head of the house, someone is looking for it." After entering the yard, the woman shouted.The woman is not stout, but her voice is not small.

"Here we come." A male voice came from the room on the left, Li Xin listened, and it was the voice of Shiya.Because I have only met Shiya Ji, I do remember Shiya Ji's voice.

The woman brought Li Xin and Caiyun into the hall, and poured tea for them.In a blink of an eye, the stone-toothed man had already walked in.When he saw Li Xin, Shi Ya was a little stunned.

"It's Ms. Li! Didn't I just meet her? Could it be that Ms. Li is doing something?" Shiya sat down on the chair, and the woman had already left.

"When I was in Zheng's house, I really didn't want to inquire about Meixiang Pavilion with Shiya. I thought about it, but I haven't visited it, and I don't know what the place is. If it is really a good place, it would be a pity to miss it. .So, I came here, and please forgive me for bothering me."

"Miss Li's words are too serious. Since Miss Li wants to know, I'll just talk to Miss Li." After drinking his saliva, Shi Yaju told Li Xin about the situation in Meixiangyuan.

Meixiangyuan is a brothel, and the brothel here is not an ordinary Qinlou Chu Pavilion, but a high-end brothel, and the women in the brothel are generally geisha.These women are generally excellent in color and art, with stunning appearance, and can recite poems, play piano and sing songs.Among these women, there are many talented poets, rap artists and opera performers.

In the era of "Women are virtuous without talent", women from good families rarely have talented women with great reputations.In the brothels, on the contrary, it is the gathering place for talented women, and those who can recite poems against literati and inkmen, and those who can sing poems in harmony, are mostly brothel women.

And brothel women are also very different from ordinary prostitutes. Generally, there is only one woman in a large garden, but there are many maids and servants serving them, and many servants guarding the courtyard.Women can choose their own guests, or if they are talented people, or have rare treasures, or spend a lot of money...

Always, as long as the woman is willing to meet the guests, the guests will naturally be able to enter the door.If you don't want to meet, you can't force your way in, or you will definitely be kicked out by the family guard.

Such a woman, apart from her low status and bad reputation, actually lived a leisurely and comfortable life, very rich.The average daughter of a small household may not be able to compare with a brothel girl in terms of material life.

The owner of Meixiangyuan is named Liu Yan, and because Liu Yan wants to marry Congliang, she is anxious to sell Meixiangyuan.The location of Meixiangyuan is very good, it is really a good place to get quiet in the midst of the hustle and bustle.

After listening to Shi Yajia finished speaking, Li Xin also became interested.In fact, it was just a brothel before, so there is nothing to be taboo about.After all, it's just a business, and the people who come here don't care about what kind of business the shop used to be.Moreover, Meixiangyuan is surrounded by houses of wealthy families, so it is not a place of flower streets and willow alleys.

"I don't know if the Shiya can take me there now to have a look?"

"If Miss Li doesn't feel any taboo, you can go and have a look."

"Then let's take a look! I always want to know what the layout of Meixiang Garden is like."

After explaining to his family members, Shiya took Li Xin and Caiyun out.Speaking of which, Li Xin really didn't know what a brothel looked like. In the TV series, it looked like they let go of Huajie and Liuxiang, but they were all ordinary brothels.

In fact, I was really curious in my heart.However, it was just a little bit of curiosity. If it was still in operation, she would definitely not want to go.

She is not like the heroines in the novels and TV dramas, because she is curious about the flower streets and willow lanes, she disguises herself as a man and goes in to have a look.To be honest, it’s okay for ordinary people not to notice such a thing as a woman disguised as a man, but how could a prostitute who always deals with men not be able to see it, so don’t insult people’s IQ casually.

If people find out, a woman's reputation will be ruined if she visits such a place.What kind of family dares to want such a woman!So, curiosity killed the cat, just be curious, don't try everything that is reliable or unreliable.
The three of them also went all the way to the location of Meixiangyuan.

It didn't take long before we arrived. On that street, there were large houses on both sides, surrounded by tall walls, and we couldn't see the scene inside.However, if you look at the scale, you can tell that those who live in this kind of place are all wealthy people!
