Cui Huan glanced at the rider, knowing that he was a knight-errant who was looming in Chang'an City, and he didn't want to cause trouble, so he quickly pulled Jiao Qing, signaling him not to worry about it.

The three of them did not bring their servants with them when they went out, they only wanted to have fun and peace, and they didn't want to cause trouble.

Zhang Xuan smiled and said nothing, but looked forward.I saw the young man with the hip sword pinched the horse's belly with his legs, and the white horse let out a long neigh and stopped instantly, then turned the horse's head and galloped towards the way it came.

This is the legendary Tang chivalrous man written by Li Bai, "the silver saddle shines on the white horse, and it rustles like a shooting star; killing a man in ten steps, he will not stay for a thousand miles"?
If the most embodying the political significance of Chang'an is the high-ranking emperor and the officials of Eguanbo, the most embodying its cultural significance is the eloquent poetry and essays of the disciples, which best embodies its commercial significance. Most of them are merchants and merchants, and what can best embody the meaning of vanity are the decorations, singing and dancing prostitutes active in the neighborhood, and all kinds of vagabonds. Then, what can best embody the heroic style of Chang'an is the ranger who comes and goes without a shadow. Called knights.

The young man returned on horseback, Cui Huan's expression changed, and he dragged Jiao Qing and Zhang Xuan to the side of the street.

In Cui Huan's eyes, this kind of person does not stick to etiquette and refuses to obey Wang Hua. Once provoked, there will be a lot of right and wrong.

In a flash of thought, the young man had already arrived.

The white horse stopped spinning silently, while the man turned over like a gust of wind, got off the horse and fell to the ground, shooting at the three of them with bright eyes.

However, to the surprise of Cui Huan and Jiao Qing, the man suddenly bowed to Jiao Qing, and said calmly, "A certain family has something on their minds, and they are in a hurry, so they didn't intend to bump into this young master. If you offend me, please forgive me." Forgive me."

This man speaks elegantly and has a calm demeanor, which makes people feel a little good.

Jiao Qing waved his hands in embarrassment, "Forget it, I'm fine. It was not intentional, so there's no need to be polite."

The man nodded, and without a word of nonsense since then, he landed on the horse in a blink of an eye, and galloped away neatly, blowing a gust of wind.

The three of Zhang Xuan stared in surprise at the man and the horse who disappeared at the corner of the street in that moment, and secretly clicked their tongues.

Cui Huan sighed, "Jiao Qing, you almost got into trouble today unintentionally. This kind of chivalrous person acts recklessly and disrespects the king. It's really shocking to see this way of disappearing without a trace!"

"A true chivalrous man will never bully the weak. Second brother, don't try to scare yourself. I think this man is very energetic and upright, so he must be a heroic man." Zhang Xuan interrupted with a smile.

……

……

The three of them quickened their pace, and within a short time, they walked into the largest and highest-grade brothel in Pingkang Fang—Yi Xin Yuan among the crowd of scholars and bureaucrats.

The prostitutes in the Tang Dynasty had many names.The first is "palace prostitute", the second is "official prostitute", the third is "business prostitute", the fourth is "domestic prostitute", and the fifth is "private prostitute" (city prostitute).Taken together, there are no more than three types of court prostitutes, official prostitutes, and private prostitutes (including domestic prostitutes).

"Gong prostitutes" are enjoyed by the emperor alone. Scholars and bureaucrats are mostly registered official prostitutes affiliated to the Jiaofang Division, while those in the market or ordinary merchants are mostly cheaper private prostitutes, similar to Zhang Xuan's previous life The standing street warbler.

Cui Huan entered the door with ease, and went down to a pre-booked private room under the guidance of the old bustard. There are many such private rooms on each floor, and the room fee alone costs half a penny a night. The cost of lodging and banquets can be described as extremely expensive if there is no three to five pennies of money.

However, this money is nothing to the children of aristocratic families like Cui Huan or Zhang Xuan.

In fact, Zhang Xuan is no stranger to this place, and the former prodigal son is also a frequent visitor here.

After entering the door, the three of them sat down as guests and hosts.Cui Huan smiled slightly, waved his hand to the maid who was waiting by his side, and said, "Have a banquet. Go invite Miss Su Su to play the piano and sing for us."

The maid respectfully took the order and left.

Li Susu is the most popular actress in Yixin Garden, and she claims to be a showman rather than a person.He has excellent singing skills, talent and appearance, and is well-known in Chang'an City.

Divas who have both talent, appearance, and affection are often the objects pursued by scholars, and divas also need to rely on their contacts with scholars to increase their social status.Cui Huan is Li Susu's frequent visitor, and also an elegant guest, who only listens to the piano and does not stay overnight. What Li Susu likes to receive is Cui Huan, a dignified and elegant family member.

"Brother Bowen, this Miss Susu is famous for a while, she is both talented and beautiful. It is said that she has a very high style. Ordinary people will not pick up guests at will no matter how much money they give. This old bustard does not force her and spoils her. Brother Bowen is really big Jiao Qing is really envious of being able to make an appointment with Ms. Su Su in advance for today's pleasure."

Jiao Qing chuckled, "Look, Brother Bowen, wouldn't it be great if Brother Bowen asked someone to take off Miss Susu's music and bring her home to be a bedside concubine? You love a game."

Zhang Xuan smiled slightly at the side, without interjecting.

Cui Huan laughed when he heard the words, "You don't want to talk nonsense. The reason Cui loves to come to Yixin Garden is nothing more than that he likes to listen to Miss Su Su playing the piano. Love, Cui has already heard about it."

"Besides, the Cui family's family style is very strict, so if I want to bring a singing girl home, won't my father want to drive me out of the house?"

"If it wasn't for Susu's beautiful piano sound, I definitely wouldn't be in this Pingkangfang..." Cui Huan sighed a few times with a melancholy expression, and suddenly turned his head to look at Zhang Xuan, but there was a strange twitch at the corner of his mouth Smiling, "Third brother, as a brother, I want to remind you. Yinger dislikes prostitutes and banquets the most in her life. If you marry Yinger... Hehe, I am afraid that I will come to Pingkangfang less in the future." .”

Zhang Xuan was taken aback, then smiled and didn't answer.

Cui Ying has a strong personality, and Cui Huan's words are in line with Cui Ying's temperament.Of course, it is a social custom for scholars and literati to engage in sex with prostitutes. Zhang Xuan insists on this, and Cui Ying has nothing to do, but the relationship between husband and wife must be greatly affected.

While the three of them were talking, they waited for a cup of tea, but Li Susu hadn't come over yet.Cui Huan couldn't help being a little annoyed, so he got up and went out to reprimand the turtle man in Yixinyuan.

The maid in charge of this private room ran over from the other end of the corridor with an embarrassed expression on her face, leaned over and whispered something to Mr. Gui.

Cui Huan said in a deep voice, "What's the matter? Why hasn't Ms. Su Su arrived yet? My son paid the deposit in advance."

Mr. Gui knew Cui Huan. He was a wealthy young master from a high-ranking family in Chang'an City, a son of a powerful family, and a well-known talent, so he didn't dare to neglect him. He stepped forward to please him awkwardly, "Mr. Cui, Su Miss Su was entangled and blocked on the way, the little one will go there, and Su Su must come over earlier to serve the young master."

Cui Huan snorted coldly, turned his head and went back to the room.
