Today, this brothel was booked by Xue Ne, and there were many people inside the brothel. All the dandies in the city, as well as the elders of the family who were of some importance, were here.
Xue Na is the eldest son of Xue Rengui. Although Xue Rengui is only a boy from Hedong County, he is an undisputed young general of the Tang Dynasty. He is highly regarded by the emperor. The deeds of the three arrows to set the Tianshan Mountains are still widely praised by the Chang'an court and the public.
Xue Rengui's eldest son celebrates his birthday. Although it is only eighteen years old, which sounds strange, Xue Ne has sent invitations to the dandies in advance. Who among the dandies in Chang'an City who have a normal IQ and a little knowledge of the world dare not come?
The enchanting and graceful girls are like butterflies in flowers, fluttering among the dandies. The dandies chat and laugh loudly, and gather in small groups. They are either talking about women and romance, or they are talking about state affairs and giving advice in an impassioned manner.
country.
As soon as Li Qinzai walked into the front hall of the brothel, the hall suddenly became quiet.
Everyone looked at him blankly, some with expressions of awe, some with unyielding expressions, and most of them with envy.
Li Qinzai smiled and nodded to the dandies, but was met with a cold reception. The dandies in the hall still sat in a daze, like silly roe deer who were frightened.
Li Qinzai was wondering about everyone's reaction, when Gao Qi came over and said, "Brother Jingchu is late, you will be punished with three drinks."
Reaching out to pull Gao Qi over, Li Qinzai pointed at the silly roe deer in the hall and said with a guilty look on his face: "Let me explain something first. A long time ago, I was hit in the head with a stick by my father. I fell into his plot and lost my life."
So many memories…”
Gao Qi said blankly: "What then?"
"Then I want to ask, what happened to these silly roe deer... well, these taciturn and elegant gentlemen? Why do they always look stupid when they see me? Did I get involved with their wives or concubines many years ago?"
This matter must be inquired clearly. Even though it has been a long time since he traveled back in time, Li Qinzai is not sure how many evils his predecessor has committed.
Gao Qi snorted and said, "I haven't heard that Brother Jingchu has ever touched their wives and concubines, but their reaction to seeing Brother Jingchu is normal."
"Brother Jingchu is not often in Chang'an now. I'm afraid he doesn't know that the rich and powerful in the city know Brother Jingchu's name very well. I won't talk about his deeds of dominating Chang'an back then. I'll just say that Brother Jingchu disobeyed the military order and destroyed the Japanese country. He also created
Many military weapons strengthened the military power of our Tang Dynasty, and he was the only one among the powerful children of Chang'an who was granted a title without relying on the influence of his ancestors."
"Brother Jingchu's various achievements alone are beyond the reach of these powerful children. They admire you greatly, but at the same time they are nervous and in awe. They don't know how to express it, so they are in such a state of dementia."
Li Qinzai suddenly understood and breathed a long sigh of relief.
As long as I didn't steal their wives and concubines, my chest puffed up unconsciously, my heart was no longer weak, and I was no longer short of breath. I confidently raised my head and glanced at the dandy.
"What!" Li Qinzai shouted in surprise.
All the dandies were so frightened that they did not dare to look directly at him. Some of the socially awkward people stood up and took the initiative to salute Li Qinzai and smiled ingratiatingly.
Li Qinzai also didn't expect that he would be so famous among the dandies in Chang'an City. Among the most domineering group in the entire Tang Dynasty, the moment he showed up, he would make them behave instantly. His pitiful appearance made people feel distressed.
Of course, for a distinguished guest like Li Qinzai, Xue Ne had other arrangements. Gao Qi led Li Qinzai to the pavilion.
Lifting their legs and taking steps, the dandies in the hall consciously gave way to a path. Li Qinzai passed by them, and the dandies lowered their heads one after another. This scene was like a tiger passing by among the monkeys. It was very majestic.
The girls in the brothel were also stunned by this scene. Although they had no impression of Li Qinzai, it was certain that this handsome young man was different from other dandies. Just by looking at his calm and unhurried demeanor, you could tell that his weight was higher than that of Li Qinzai.
All the dandies are heavy together.
The beautiful eyes of the girls all turned to the pavilion where Li Qinzai walked in, and each of them made up his mind. If they could have a chance encounter with this handsome young man, they would have found a supporter in the huge city of Chang'an. If they were lucky, they would even be attracted by him.
If you take her as a concubine, you will be out of the sea of misery in this life...
However, just as the girls were planning how to sneak into the pavilion, Li Qinzai had already walked in. The door of the pavilion was closed, and two burly men with fierce faces were guarding the door with swords across their chests.
The girls immediately sighed in disappointment.
After the door of the pavilion was closed, Li Qinzai sat cross-legged in front of the low table, poured himself a glass of wine and drank it all, saying: "Liu Xingzhou's son Liu... um, who is Liu?"
Gao Qi hurriedly said: "Liu Shanwang."
"Yes, Liu Shanwang, did Shenyan send him an invitation?"
Gao Qi smiled and said: "Today's scene was just for Liu Shanwang. How could Xue Ne miss him? He sent an invitation to him early in the morning and also arranged an eyeliner at his door. If he goes out, someone will report him immediately.
Come."
Li Qinzai nodded and said in a deep voice: "Be cautious and don't trick others instead of yourself. That would be a joke."
Gao Qi smiled evilly and said, "Don't worry, we have done this kind of trick many times before, and we are very skilled at it."
Li Qinzai sighed and said: "Our current atmosphere really makes me uncomfortable. It's like a gentleman accidentally walking into a den of thieves. Brother Gao Xian, can you be more upright?"
Gao Qi said in astonishment: "Brother Jingchu, you are the one who wants to do this, and it was you who came up with the idea..."
"Yes, it was my idea, but... if your expression was more just, my mood might be happier, you understand?"
…………
Liu Shanwang got off the carriage in front of the brothel, with a look of joy and excitement on his face.
Chang'an is a tough place. If a brick is thrown, it will hit at least seven or eight county magistrates and so on.
Liu Shanwang's father, however, came from a poor family. He worked hard in the officialdom for more than ten years and is now only a seventh-rank censor. Speaking of father-in-law, Liu Shanwang is incompatible with the powerful children of Chang'an City.
But he still struggled to integrate into this group.
Therefore, he has been very good at studying since he was a child, and it did not stop him from hanging out with the powerful children of Chang'an City.
He is trying hard to please, he is climbing desperately, and he wants to reach the highest step by step.
However, there is a threshold for the dandy circle in Chang'an. The sons and grandsons of county lords and princes can enter, but it is not so easy for the sons of seventh-rank censors to enter.
As a result, Liu Shanwang became a follower in the eyes of the dandies. His background was that he could only be a follower.
Liu Shanwang didn't mind. He knew his origin very well, but he was also sure that his future would be bright. If he could pass the high school entrance exam in three years, he would be able to enter the court and stand on an equal footing with those dudes.
.
Who are the dandies he is trying to please now? Apart from being born well and having a great grandfather or father, what else do they have?
If I were to be named on the gold medal list in the future, these dandies who rely on the ancestor's shadow and have no intention of making progress will be rubbish.
After getting off the carriage, Liu Shanwang looked up at the lintel of the brothel with a trace of disdain in his eyes.
Inadvertently seeing Xue Ne standing outside the door, looking at him quietly, Liu Shan was startled, and his expression immediately became flattering and humble. Without saying anything, he saluted Xue Ne with a smile on his face.
"Be careful when talking about my brother's birthday. Foolish brother is late and should be punished."
Xue Ne's eyes flashed with coldness, and he caught the disdain in Liu Shan's eyes just now.
Oh, in his eyes, are all the children of powerful people just losers, full of inadequacy and conspiracy?
It doesn't matter, he will soon know that so-called talent is nothing in the face of power.
