Chapter Two Hundred and Three: Mi Jiang and the Customs of Wei
ps: Sorry, I felt too tired just now, so I took a nap and started coding now. After today’s second update, I will continue to add more updates, and strive to have the fourth update tonight, so as to pay off the debt as soon as possible. Let’s talk about the previous few chapters I had a dream the other day. In the dream, "One monk mouthed, mouth mouth mouth; two monks mouthed, mouth mouth mouth mouth." Is there any book friends who know this sentence? I have been recalling it for the past two days, a bit care.
The following text
Because of his relationship with Mi Jiang, Zhao Hongrun went to Yifangshui Pavilion this time and only brought along Zongwei Shen Yu and Lu Mu.
After all, the Zongwei were serving as errands in the Junshui Camp a few days ago. Although it was to train them, they were drilled to death by the Quhous and Junhous of the Junshui Camp. Who is their predecessor, the General of the Junshui Camp? Bailiba secretly asked his subordinates to train these inexperienced junior clan guards hard.
Therefore, now that he has returned to Daliang, Zhao Hongrun plans to give the Zongwei a few days of temporary leave, letting the Zongwei who want to sleep in a good sleep, and letting the Zongwei who want to go out to drink in the palace to drink, as a reward for them.
Anyway, with Mi Jiang around, nothing will happen.
But despite this, Zongwei Chief Shen Yu refused to take a vacation because he kept in mind the lesson of Luo Rong's incident last time. Therefore, Zhao Hongrun could only take him and another Zongwei Lu Mu.
Speaking of which, at this time, Zhao Hongrun's token that allowed him to freely enter and exit the palace had been confiscated by Emperor Wei in the last incident involving his imperial sister. However, even without the token, he was responsible for the entrance of the palace. The guarding imperial guards and their commander Jin Ju did not dare to stop him.
Firstly, Zhao Hongrun still has the power to defeat Chu Yangcheng Lord Xiong Tuo. Secondly, anyone can guess that after His Highness Prince Su has accomplished such feats, Emperor Wei will definitely With rewards, it is only a matter of time before he leaves the pavilion and establishes a mansion.
It is uncertain that after the grand palace banquet today and tomorrow, Emperor Wei will issue an edict to officially allow Zhao Hongrun to leave the palace and open a palace, like Yong Wang Hongyu and Xiang Wang Hongjing, to live outside the palace and have his own palace, ministers and private soldiers.
No, when he learned that Zhao Hongrun had the intention to leave the palace, Jin Ju, the commander of the imperial guards, joked with His Highness King Su for a few words and ordered his imperial guards to let him go without saying a word.
This is all a favor...
Zhao Hongrun thought to himself, and then whispered to Lu Mu that when he gets his share of the generous rewards in the future, he must prepare a generous gift for the Imperial Guards. After all, among the two guards in the palace, the Imperial Guards are the most important. The relationship with Zhao Hongrun and the others is far closer than that with Lang Weijun.
Of course, the group of Lang Wei outside Wenzhao Pavilion had a good relationship with Zhao Hongrun and the others, but the number of those Lang Wei only accounted for a very small part of the Lang Wei army.
A group of four people left the palace and went straight to the side street. As the host, Zhao Hongrun did not hesitate to introduce the prosperity of their Daliang to Mi Jiang. Unfortunately, this woman didn't seem to care much about it. Her face was expressionless from beginning to end, which made her Zhao Hongrun felt a little bored.
Thinking about it, as a Wei person, Zhao Hongrun also hoped to hear some praise from Mi Jiang, a Chu person, praising the prosperity of Daliang. Unfortunately, the latter did not mean that at all.
Perhaps Mi Jiang, as the daughter of Runan Lord Xiong Hao, was used to such prosperous cities when she was a child.
But when Zhao Hongrun took her to a waterside pavilion, Mi Jiang couldn't help but show a little surprise and surprise in her eyes.
Because she saw that inside and outside the gatehouse of a waterside pavilion, there were many women wearing revealing clothes and flirting with young men who were lingering and hesitating outside the building, that is, those who wanted to enter for fun but were not brave enough.
.
"What are those women doing? Seducing men?"
With a woman's intuition, Mi Jiang vaguely guessed something, but she couldn't be sure.
"..." Zhao Hongrun opened his mouth, speechless.
Thinking about it, Mi Jiang said it so straightforwardly, and it was really hard for him to answer the question.
After thinking about it, he had to explain it vaguely as soliciting customers.
Mi Jiang's eyes showed confusion when he heard this: "A waterside pavilion... is it a place for business?"
"Well... you can understand it that way."
Zhao Hongrun answered vaguely.
Because he has been to Chu State, Zhao Hongrun knows very well that Chu State does not have brothel establishments like Yifang Waterside Pavilion, because the national classes in Chu State are too polarized: the nobles and big nobles of Chu State have countless families in their houses.
There are countless beautiful ladies who do not need to go to brothels to have fun; and the common people in Chu State are almost in a situation where they don't even have enough to eat, and how can they have the spare money to spend time with women?
Therefore, due to the restrictions of the state system, the brothel industry has not yet been formed in Chu State.
Sure enough, Mi Jiang, who was from Chu and had never been to Wei, couldn't figure out what kind of business those scantily clad women were engaged in after thinking for a long time.
"What business are they in?"
"Well... flesh and blood business."
"Father and meat business?" Confusion flashed in Mi Jiang's eyes: "A business of selling beast skins and meat?"
She couldn't understand how those seemingly weak women had the strength to do such menial work.
Facing Mi Jiang's confused inquiry, Zhao Hongrun was vague and prevaricated, while the two clan guards beside him, Shen Yu and Lu Mu, also looked embarrassed. After all, they didn't know what to do about this kind of thing.
How to explain.
"Mr. Jiang?"
"Hey, isn't this Mr. Jiang?"
When Zhao Hongrun led Zongwei Shen Yu, Lu Mu and Mi Jiang, they arrived in front of the gatehouse of a waterside pavilion. When the girls and turtle slaves on the ground floor saw this man, they all came up to greet him.
Speaking of which, Zhao Hongrun's pseudonym "Jiang Run" can be regarded as a celebrity in this waterside pavilion. First of all, Zhao Hongrun is young, handsome and generous, and he seems to be such a wealthy and noble son.
He is the distinguished guest that many girls in the waterside pavilion most yearn to receive.
Of course, the more important reason is that the turtle slaves and girls in the building all know one thing: Mr. Jiang Runjiang, only in Cuixiaoxuan in their building, let the former noble lady Su
After spending one night with her, within a few days, Miss Su was kicked out by the owner of this waterside pavilion, and she no longer had to receive any other guests.
What does this mean? This means that this "Master Jiang Run" is definitely the son of a powerful person in Daliang City, and he is a distinguished guest that the sponsors behind their waterside pavilions want to win over or even please.
After understanding this, the turtle slaves and the girls in the waterside pavilion treated Zhao Hongrun even more enthusiastically.
"Looking at the expressions of these women, they don't look like they are planning to sell their flesh and blood to you. They seem to be eager to devour you..."
Mi Jiang whispered to Zhao Hongrun expressionlessly, with a look of doubt in his eyes, as if he was wondering whether Zhao Hongrun was lying to him.
Hehe, hehe...
Zhao Hongrun really didn't know how to explain to her, so he had to pretend not to hear.
Fortunately, those Yingying Yanyans were also self-aware and knew that Zhao Hongrun looked down on them, so they didn't try to make themselves uncomfortable by leaning too close to them, they just looked at him eagerly.
However, those turtle slaves hurriedly came forward and said with a flattering smile: "I haven't seen Young Master Jiang for a long time. Could it be that Young Master Jiang is still here for Miss Su today?"
Zhao Hongrun smiled and nodded, while using his eyes to signal to Lu Mu and the others.
After that, Zhao Hongrun pulled Mi Jiang's sleeve and quickly pulled her upstairs. After all, this woman was looking at everything in the building with an unspeakable terrifying look, especially when she saw the hall on the first floor.
Some men were drinking and having fun while being served by women in the building.
"It's not like selling flesh and blood here..."
After being dragged to the second floor by Zhao Hongrun, Mi Jiang stared at him with eyes full of suspicion, as if she wanted him to explain.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun really didn't know how to explain it, and said angrily: "I never said that the flesh business refers to the sale of fur and meat..."
"What is that?" Mi Jiang asked puzzledly.
At this moment, a small gasp suddenly came from the private room they passed by, the kind of gasp that was mixed with a man's excitement and a woman's moan.
Immediately, Mi Jiang's face turned red, she rolled her eyes at Zhao Hongrun, and uttered two words coldly: "Shameless!"
Obviously, she just didn't know the customs here in Wei State, which didn't mean she was ignorant. Of course she understood what that gasping sound meant.
"..." Zhao Hongrun rolled his eyes speechlessly.
But what surprised him was that after Mi Jiang coldly said "shameless", she said nothing more and just followed him expressionlessly.
It was only when they climbed the stairs to the third floor that she asked in a low voice: "Is your confidante someone else's concubine?"
"What?" Zhao Hongrun was a little confused when he heard this.
Mi Jiang pointed at his feet and asked puzzledly: "Isn't this waterside pavilion the residence of a noble of your Wei Kingdom? I don't understand, given your status, why don't you show your confidante to me?
Does that nobleman want to come over?"
Zhao Hongrun sighed helplessly and had to stop to explain the concept of brothel to her. At the same time, he told her that the women in brothels are not the same as the concubines raised by the nobles in Chu State. The former still have a bit of freedom, and Shang
Retaining the most basic rights and self-respect as a human being; as for the latter, haha, they are just female slaves and objects for the nobles of Chu to vent their sexual desires.
"That's it." Mi Jiang nodded as if she had a sudden realization, and concluded: "A flesh-and-blood business is a business in which a woman sleeps with a man, and the man gives the woman some money and things afterwards..."
Why do I feel so tired?
"..." Zhao Hongrun stared at Mi Jiang for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly. He knocked on the door of the private room of Cuixiao Xuan on the third floor as if he was exhausted, and at the same time whispered to Mi Jiang: "Stop talking later.
"
"Who is it?"
Inside the house, the voice of Miss Su's maid Lu'er came.
With a creaking sound, Lu'er opened the door, opened her eyes and looked at Zhao Hongrun. After a trace of joy flashed in her eyes, her face was already full of anger: "You still know how to come?!"
Is she Ji Run's confidante?
Mi Jiang looked at the pitiful little girl in front of her with strange eyes. Suddenly, she thought of Yang Yanxing who was still in the Wenzhao Pavilion of the Great Wei Palace. She seemed to understand something and nodded: "Oh..."
At that moment, Zhao Hongrun seemed to be possessed by a spirit. Even if his back was turned to Mi Jiang, he could clearly guess what this woman was thinking. He turned around and gritted his teeth to break Mi Jiang's delusion.
"Not her!"
At this moment, a gentle question came from the room. Even Mi Jiang was stunned when she heard the gentle female voice.
"Lu'er, who is it?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote on Qidian. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please read it.)
