In ancient times, brothels had several levels.

To be precise, brothels are not brothels, nor are they some clubs with "princesses", nor are they bathing centers with special services, but places similar to celebrity meetings.

Although brothels also operate in flesh and blood business, they are not limited to this. The brothels that mainly engage in flesh and blood business are actually "lao" and tile houses.

The original meaning of the Lao is to break the grass house, because most girls who do this kind of business live in poverty and do not have the ability to rely on themselves, and the layout of the business premises is also very simple.

Some dormitories are broken and torn houses with half-closed doors, and some even randomly built rag sheds. The least they can do is to dig a hole like a kiln on the earthen bag. Therefore, "door" is also called "kiln", and the girls inside are called "Kilnjie'er".

Most of the kiln sisters are not good-looking, they are the most ordinary and have little culture. They have very low status and are also called "prostitutes", so they are also called "prostitutes" "prostitutes".

A brothel that is more advanced than "liao" is a brothel. The brothel is similar to a KTV with special services in later generations. It can eat, drink and listen to music. Although it is also a flesh-and-skinned business, the girls here look much more elegant, more cultural and more interesting.

Then there is the brothel.

The girls here have learned piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and human nature since they were young. They are all talents and speak nicely. The best girls are called "Courtesses". They are women with excellent appearance, temperament, literary and wise nature, and are more than a little better than female stars in later generations.

Because the marriage model in ancient times was very rigid, the first meeting between the bride and groom was likely to be in the bridal chamber, so in addition to being able to make love, they basically cannot get love.

Going to the brothel to meet the "female star", that is, the courtesan, has become one of the few ways for the ancients to obtain love.

Because the courtesan has been taught how to please men on a spiritual level since childhood, every frown and smile is the shape of loving you, so can't you be fascinated by people?

Therefore, as female celebrities, the courtesans basically don’t have to sell their bodies or worry about being strong. They just need to provide spiritual love.

Moreover, they have a lot of fans and have a great influence in all walks of life. In addition, the brothels (similar to female celebrity agents) who run brothels also have some strong social backgrounds, and the social status of the courtesans has increased.

However, it is not easy to meet the guikui Benkui.

Because, you need to have money, a lot of money, very, very much money!

First, you have to "order flower tea", that is, spend money to buy tea; then go upstairs to "spend wine", which is another amount of money; then go to the private room to have a meal and spend another amount of money.

If you go on three steps, there will be no 10 or 20 taels, and even more, it will cost hundreds or thousands of taels.

You should know that in the early years of the Song Dynasty, a family of three who could earn twenty taels of silver in half a year was already relatively wealthy, and this amount of money was just a prerequisite for meeting the courtesans in brothels.

Brothels are definitely a big gold-selling cave.

But even so, you will not be able to see the courtesan.

You also have to "make tea circumference" with other guests at the place where you eat. Making tea circumference is actually a process of competing with guests for talent. For example, competing with poems, making couples, and making wine orders, the courtesan will secretly choose the most talented guest, and sometimes the courtesan will also give questions.

Finally, the courtesan selected the person. The successfully promoted guests were invited to the courtesan’s house for personal fan meetings. Those who failed were invited to go out, or those who were slightly more beautiful girls around the courtesan for body fluid communication.

As for the fan meeting, it will not be a friend of Guan and Bao. At most, the courtesan will talk to you about a chat, play a small song, and talk about poems.

How can big stars be so easy to get started? Those who are easy to get started will not be so valuable.

...

As night fell, Li Yi walked towards the middle city alone.

Li Yi felt that the girl with excellent temperament was probably the courtesan. If you want to see her, you would probably have to go to a brothel. The location where the brothel was opened was usually in the most prosperous street in the city.

Pingji County has five areas, including southeast, west, north, and middle, only Dongcheng and Zhongcheng are relatively prosperous. Li Yi didn’t know much about local brothels. After asking and being tacitly looked at several men, he learned that there was a "Miaoyu Pavilion" in Zhongcheng, which is the highest-standard brothel in the county.

So Li Yi walked straight to Zhongcheng. Interestingly, halfway through the way, he met Chen Zhuo who had returned from the yamen.

Chen Zhuo had detained the yellow-faced man and his accomplices to the yamen before. At this time, he returned and was ordered by the county magistrate to find Li Yi.

"Brother Li! I finally found you." Chen Zhuo was delighted when he saw Li Yi.

Li Yiqi said: "What are you asking for me?"

Chen Zhuo said: "When I returned to the yamen, the county magistrate said that he suddenly remembered that a courtesan from Shu came to Miaoyu Pavilion in Zhongcheng. If you could see her, you might know what the four words on the bracelet meant through her.

So, the lord immediately asked me to come to you and also gave me twenty taels of public silver."

After saying that, Chen Zhuo handed over a silver bag and blinked at Li Yi meaningfully.

Li Yi was fucked by the silver bag, his eyes were subtle. The emperor was not short of hungry soldiers, so Zhao County Wei was quite good at being a human being.

However, it is not enough to want to be his captain with this.

Orcs will never be slaves!

...

Farewell to Chen Zhuo, Li Yi came to Miaoyu Pavilion alone.

Facing the lively pavilion with red bricks and green tiles and big red lanterns hanging high, Li Yi's heart was beating faster.

"We are here legally and do not violate discipline."

Li Yi was a little nervous. In fact, if the courtesan is very satisfied with the guests, it is not impossible to recommend the pillow mat. As long as her reputation is pure and clean, it would be great that other guests would not know about it.

So, if the courtesan covet my beauty, did I follow her, or... what should I follow her?

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Li Yi pondered for a while, thinking that if the courtesan was too forced, he would have to give up half of it. What if someone thought he looked down on her and was sad to seek suspicion, wouldn’t it be a life of harm?

Alas, I'm just too noble.

The world is in a cool and cool situation, and the world is getting worse. There are not many people like me who have noble sentiments, are free from low-level interests and are willing to consider girls...

After observing outside Miaoyu Pavilion for a while, Li Yi found that the servant invited someone at the door invited several rich young men in luxurious clothes. As long as he was interested in looking into Miaoyu Pavilion, the servant would try to invite him.

But after watching outside for so long, the servant seemed to have not seen him at all. Li Yi looked down at his rough and simple clothes, and sighed inwardly, looking down at the person with a dog's eyes.

There was no choice but to go up by himself without asking someone.

However, before he could enter the door, the servant reached out to stop him.

The servant glanced at Li Yi, pointed to the signboard in front of the door, and snorted contemptuously.

So Li Yi looked at the sign and saw two eight characters lined up on the sign: Not like Tao Qian, it is unique.

Li Yi was puzzled, and he looked up and asked, "Why don't you stop others when they come in, but you want to stop me when I go in? This seems to be not the reason to open the door to do business."

The servant rolled his eyes at Li Yi and said in a sharp voice: "Others? Hehe, they are regular customers, so they naturally don't have to be tested. You are so poor that you have to be tested to confirm whether you are qualified to enter, right?"

In fact, this test is not for all new customers. If the customers are dressed luxuriously, the servants don’t need to test them.

But if the people who come here are poor scholars, sour scholars, or rough men, and those who obviously cannot afford to pay for prostitution, then just use this sign to make things difficult for them and not let them in directly, so as to save some time when they "order flower tea" and "support wine".

After all, brothels are not tile houses, and they are not places where even cats and dogs can enter.

"Then tell me, what are you going to test me?" Li Yi naturally saw through the servant's thoughts and asked without hesitation.

The servant raised his head: "It's the eight big words on this sign. If you can understand the true meaning of these eight big words, I will let you in."

After the servant said this, he laughed again.

Just kidding, since he used this sign to guard the gate, no one guessed the true meaning of this sign. As long as he lifted this sign to the people he looked down on, he could 100% stop those ordinary people.

With this "Ace", the gate of Miaoyu Pavilion seemed to be dominated by him. Anyone who did not want to enter would have no chance of entering! He was like the King of Growth who guarded the Nantian Gate, and was extremely majestic!

He didn't believe that anyone could see the true meaning of this sign. It would be even more impossible for Li Yi to look like he was ready to see Li Yi running away with his tail between his legs.

"Not like Tao Qian, it's unique."

At first glance, Li Yi is indeed a little confused about these eight words.

Tao Qian is Tao Yuanming who resolutely resigned from office and was born after "not bowing his waist for five dou of rice". Not like Tao Qian, is it because he praises Tao Yuanming who is born with noble ambition and unparalleled in the world?

But what does this have to do with whether you can enter the door?

Maybe... I have to think differently.

After thinking for a while, a sudden light of inspiration flashed, Li Yi's eyes as dark as night suddenly lit up. He took out the silver bag given by Zhao County Magistrate, took out five taels of silver and slapped it hard on the servant's hand.

"Now, can I go in?" Li Yi looked at the servant with a funny look.

The servant widened his eyes, and his two dog eyes that were low, almost burst out from his sockets. He trembled with his hands that were numbed, his lips trembled, and said with a humble kneeling: "Enter, enter, uncle, please inside..."

Li Yi was very funny. He patted the servant on the shoulder and said earnestly: "I still like your unruly look before."

The servant swallowed, and no longer dared to look down on Li Yi, who easily broke his "trump card", and repeatedly said "not dared".

Seeing Li Yi entering the room from afar, the servant trembled and wiped his cold sweat. He looked at the five taels of silver in his hand tremblingly, and still said: "How did he know this question so difficult? How did he know?!!"

Li Yi disagreed. Although this question seems difficult, it is just that. If he hadn't met Gan Ci, he might have been stumped.

Not like Tao Qian’s birth, wouldn’t he just want to enter the world (in the house)?

Unique, isn’t it just a moment of indifference (one room, five taels)?

If you connect, wouldn’t it be five taels to enter the room?

Wouldn’t it be enough to pay the admission ticket for five taels?

Thanks to what Gan Ci said before, "Young Master Li may have thought the problem complicated, but instead was spared."

If Li Yi really thought about complimenting Tao Yuanming according to the title, he would have really fallen into a misunderstanding. Analyzing directly from the literal meaning is the key to solving this problem!

Isn’t this the case in many things in the world?
