The light in the field dimmed, and then the city of Jiangning became lively, with boats and boats and brothels brightly lit. The nightlife here is naturally more than just visiting brothels. Looking at the night view of Qinhuai, you often sit in the teahouse with pastries and snacks.
Listen to stories and songs, but relatively speaking, visiting a brothel is indeed the most fashionable one.
The tense situation inside and outside the city, and the floods that occur once every few years cannot touch this prosperous and luxurious scene. The rich will always be rich, and in wealthy places like Jiangning, Yangzhou, and Tokyo, the government's control is still strong
Yes. Even if the city gates are closed after a while, most of the brothels, prostitutes, and smokehouses will still be open for business as usual. Moreover, because the city gates are closed, prices and charges will be higher, but there is no other place to go.
The frequency of rich people coming here will also become higher." This period of time is actually the prime time for such entertainment venues.
When I arrived in front of Yancui Tower with Li Pin, Su Wengui, Su Wenxing and others, the other people who had made an appointment had already arrived. These were probably friends of the Su family's children, and two of them were talented people with little reputation.
I want to come and meet Ning Yi and Li Pin. This time, not only Su Wenxing, Su Wengui, and Su Wentian from the second bedroom came here, but also Su Wenluo and Su Wenji from the third bedroom. Su Wending, who is usually closer to Su Taner, also came over. In short, it was Su Zhong
I greeted him as soon as I saw him. He was the one who paid for a group of juniors from the Su family to come and play today.
As Su Tan'er said, Su Zhongkan is not very sincere, and he must be interested in the position of the head of the family. But what he said is too cliche. Even so, there is no need for him to use any boring tricks against Ning Yi right now.
.This banquet is just a joke. On the one hand, it is to say goodbye to Li Pin in the name of the Su family. On the other hand, I really want the children in the family to have more contact with Ning Yi and Li Pin. After all, the children in the family are not very good.
Su Zhongkan knew clearly that if it was to humiliate Ning Yi, it would probably be just a slap in the face. What's more, there is also Li Pin, who is good at dancing and will definitely side with Ning Yi.
The Yancui Building is not as famous as the brothels that often produce several famous celebrities. Like the Jinfeng Building, the Ningyu Building where Qilan is located is considered the first echelon of Jiangning brothels. The Yancui Building
Even if it is the best category in the second tier, it can barely make it into the top ten in Jiangning. The service and entertainment are actually quite considerate, but it may not be as elegant as Jinfeng and Ningyu. It is purely a brand effect.
For example, if someone like the prefect of Jiangning or Ma Kangxian is hosting a banquet, it would be shameless to go to Yancui Tower. However, many wealthy businessmen still like to come here to support themselves. Of course, literati also come, and many people are not so particular, but
I don’t come here often, so this is not my first choice.
Today, no one talked about poetry and essays when we came all the way. People like Su Wenxing, Su Wending and others usually love today's talented people, but they also have self-awareness at this time. Ning Yi and Li Pin are both here, and they are well-known in Jiangning City.
It’s not good for talented people to show their shame in front of them. Before, Chen Jiwen encountered Ning Yi who dared not write a poem, so why bother talking about something that is just asking for trouble. These people belong to the second, third, and middle houses of the big house. On weekdays,
Maybe there were some frictions and quarrels." But at this time, we were like-minded and only talked about business, not poetry.
Use your own strengths to attack the other's weaknesses. At this time, Su Wenxing, Su Wengui, and Su Wenji all tried to manage a store at home. Along the way, Su Wenji and Ning Yi got to know each other better.
The boy said that Xiao Mengchang of the Su family was not very capable, but he knew how to employ people. He also had a relatively low-key attitude and was modest in speech. Ning Yi found it quite interesting. It is good to have strengths in interpersonal relationships, but people who can really manage people are not as good as talents.
You must also have the ability to weigh constraints, which is probably a weakness.
"These abilities need to be cultivated for a long time." It is also related to one's own qualifications and subsequent education. To use a talent with 100% ability, one must have at least 60% ability. It is not that it cannot be cultivated, but this kind of thing Ning Yi
Naturally, there was no need to say anything. On the way, he heard Su Wenji talk about his experience in this regard and some anecdotes about the shopping mall. Ning Yi naturally smiled and nodded to show that he was taught. Su Wenji felt even more happy. It was rare to be able to behave in front of people like Ning Yi.
Of course, he went into more depth. Occasionally, Su Wenxing and Su Wengui would interject: "Li Heng, you don't understand things like doing business. Don't listen to his nonsense. He's bluffing you about the Taihu deal."
Business, this guy Wen Ji doesn’t even know what the problem is.”
"Who said I didn't know!"
"You just listen to the nonsense of your shopkeepers. You believe whatever they say..."
"I can at least tell what makes sense!"
The two sides inevitably quarreled, and Ning Yi and Li Pin watched it interestingly on the carriage. After a while, they came over and said to Ning Yi: "Why don't you go back and ask the second sister tonight and see what she says... Hum
.”
Although Su Tan'er is a woman, and everyone is fighting over the family property at this time, but honestly speaking, no one will deny Su Tan'er's business talent. As for Ning Yi, "he may be a great talent, but he is naturally not interested in things like business."
They don't understand at all. Both Su Zhongkan and Su Yunfang have probably told these children what the reason was for Ning Yi to marry in the first place. There is no doubt that Xi Junyu lost the election because he was too talented.
So they showed off their experiences in the mall all the way. While these people were trying hard to show the excitement of the mall to Ning Yi and Li Pin, and to show off their own excellence, everyone also got out of the car and met with a few people at the door.
We met with friends who had been invited. Su Wenxing entered Yancui Building first." After a while, he met an acquaintance in front.
When the large army entered the gate of Yancui Tower, they already saw Su Wenxing and Xue Jin of the Xue family, tit-for-tat and sarcastic. Next to Xue Jin was his elder brother, now the younger generation of the Xue family, Xue Yan. It is said that this is the future of the Xue family.
The head of the house was chosen, and there were also some friends and guests. Seeing the sudden entry of more than ten people from the Su family, they also gathered together. Seeing that the situation was not going well, Gui Nu, the mother of Yancuilou, hurriedly came over to say good things and smooth things over.
It was easy to get angry due to jealousy in the brothel, but at this time it was just a few squabbles, and everyone had their own identities, so it didn't really lead to a quarrel. Both sides looked interesting, but Xue Jin looked a little unhappy when he saw Ning Yi.
Okay. "The Taoist recited two poems." After that, he basically didn't dare to write poems. He always felt that he was being ridiculed. At this time, both sides were a little noisy. Xue Yan, Su Wengui and others smiled and said hello, with their mother in the middle.
Mediation, Xue Jin and Su Wenxing taunted a few words. "While still thinking about what to say to Ning Yi, Li Pin next to Ning Yi said hello to the person opposite.
"Brother Qingdi, you are here too."
"Brother Dexin, nice to meet you."
There was also a talented scholar there, named Liu Qingdi, who had a similar reputation as Li Pin, Cao Guan and others. After greeting him, Xue Jin also raised his head and introduced: "This is my brother's friend, Liu Yan Liu Qingdi.
"Here is a long look, Xue Jin stared at Ning Yi." Ning Yi turned to look at the layout of the brothel.
Just now, there were only Xue Jin and Su Wenxing, and they were quarreling and angry. Now that there are more people, they seem to be a little harmonious. They greet each other a few words, and they are secretly sarcastic. Xue Yan said with a smile: ", the characteristics of Yancui Tower
"After all, it's more comfortable to sit here in the lobby. Let's watch the performance here in the lobby today. What do you think?"
Su Wengui said with a smile: "Brother Xue has a keen eye on Jiangning. Who knows, since Brother Xue is here tonight, we will naturally sit in the lobby... Let's go to the second floor." Generally speaking, the outer building of a brothel has two floors, one and two.
The structure is similar, basically a theater-like structure surrounding the stage in front. "Of course there are private rooms here, and you can also meet prostitutes and drink wine." However, the performances on the stage are more popular, and in public, "naturally, it is impossible to treat the accompanying women."
He made too much moves. Whoever comes here is not here to watch a show or something. If you really want to go further with a prostitute, you still have to change rooms. Ning Yi followed him all the way upstairs. He turned around and asked Li Channel: "These guys
How do you plan to be jealous?"
Li Pin laughed: "The performances in the outer hall of Yancui Tower are also very skillful. For example, popular women like Lu Xia are sometimes not invited in advance. They perform in the outer hall. If they like someone, they come off the stage to pay tribute.
A glass of wine, and then they will go into the inner hall to keep company. Oh, a glass of wine in front of everyone. "This thing is quite honorable. Businessmen, talented people, everyone is good, and they all like this plot of using their own methods to win the beauty."
Ning Yi nodded: "Speaking of which, whoever you choose will probably cost you some money."
"Of course." Li Pin said with a smile, "Of course it's not just that simple. For example, it's okay if you are an old friend, or you can just write a good poem for her, and she will naturally come over and toast you with the wine. In short
It’s just like this: “If you want to stand out, you have to put in some effort.”
"Oh, brother Li is planning to write a song later to win the beauty home?"
"This is a bit difficult. Liu Qingdi's poetic talent is not inferior to mine. Besides, look at the expressions on Xue Yan's and the others' faces. They are clearly frequent visitors here. They are sure to win. Of course, your brothers may also know this."
So I have confidence that it is nothing more than seeing you and I both here. If I am the only one writing a poem later, even if I lose, Lu Xia will have to come up and say hello. "But if Liheng, you can also write a poem, Chapter 1
With a talented man, a reputation as a genius, and the silver bullet offensive of your brothers, the outcome of this matter is really unknown."
"Oh" it's very respectable anyway..."
"Haha, it's just for the sake of face..." The two of them started talking and laughing as they walked towards the private room on the second floor where they could watch the performance. In fact, Li Pin was quite interested in this kind of thing. Even if Ning Yi didn't write about it, he probably would.
Write a poem and accept Liu Qingdi's challenge. Ning Yi looked back and saw that in the lobby below, the scholar named Liu Qingdi seemed to be looking over here, smiling and waving his hand.
He looked friendly. But Ning Yi's gaze passed because suddenly, the scene from the window of a room on the side of the stage attracted him.
The window of the room seemed inconspicuous, because it was on the side of the stage, and it was probably not a place used for banquets. Ning Yi would notice it because the mother who had just stopped the fight was going in that way. Then, Ning Yi saw
The face exposed there turned out to be Nie Yunzhu.
This woman didn't know how long she had been looking in that room. At this time, Ning Yi looked over. She suddenly laughed and waved lightly towards this side. When Ning Yi also smiled and waved, another figure came from the side of the window.
She looked out and found that she was also a woman. She looked at Nie Yunzhu's expression curiously, and then searched for acquaintances in the hall. When she saw Ning Yi, she blinked and her whole face wrinkled. This was Yuan Yunzhu.
Jiner.
Are these two guys here to sell preserved eggs?
She was thinking about what Yuan Jin'er said, and Nie Yunzhu smiled and glared at her angrily, speaking in defense. Then they saw the two of them having a fight, and Yuan Jin'er pushed Nie Yunzhu away from the window for a second.
After a while, she leaned back again, stuck out her tongue and made a face towards Ning Yi, as if she had occupied her sister Yunzhu, and closed the window with a snap.
