Chapter 1137 There is no woman you are not worthy of
Rich people often have different interests and hobbies.
Some of the dignitaries in the imperial capital loved literary affairs, and liked to dance, write, recite poems and paint.
There are also those who like martial arts, like to wield swords and guns, and raise a group of practitioners to fight with each other.
The civil and military sides naturally look down on each other. The most they usually meet is a few token polite words, and it is impossible for them to get along.
There is only one place, but it is the common favorite of both parties.
Only here can men who have never interacted with each other or even dislike each other be able to talk over wine and be truly honest with each other.
This magical place is called "Yichun Courtyard".
Just by listening to the name, you gentlemen and gentlemen must have been able to guess what kind of place this is.
In the Daqian Empire, not only were brothels not illegal, but they were very popular. Even the Li family itself ran several brothels.
Which one of them has the most famous reputation is undoubtedly Yichun Courtyard.
The business area is almost comparable to that of the palace, the splendid and gorgeous decoration, and the fine wines and delicacies that rival the royal banquets are all far beyond comparison with other places.
According to rumors, every dish in Yichun Yuan is added with "Sai Shenxian", which is truly comparable to the delicacies of gods. Even those wealthy people from the imperial capital who spend a lot of money come here and are reluctant to leave if they can't finish the meal. Most people would cover their faces with their hands and shout out "pack" in shame.
Therefore, such scenes as wine and meat stinking in Zhumen, and bones freezing to death on the road are absolutely impossible to happen in Yichun Courtyard.
Of course, what really attracts men to come here is not the beautiful scenery and delicious food, but the beautiful young girls in Yichun Courtyard who are both beautiful and beautiful.
Even the maids who serve tea and water in Yichun Courtyard would not lose to the rich girls in appearance, talent and knowledge if placed outside.
This was the evaluation of Yichun Courtyard by Sun Jian, the Prime Minister at that time, which shows how outstanding and charming the girls here are.
"The beauty has long thought about it, and her heart is sad about it.
Climb the strips to capture the spring scenery and send it far away..."
At this time, on the raised platform in front of the lobby on the ground floor of Yichun Court, a woman in red with delicate features and about 20 years old was strumming the strings with her bare hands, playing and singing a beautiful tune. Although her voice could not be called It's a natural sound, but it's also crisp, sweet, soft and melodious.
Objectively speaking, the woman in red was considered beautiful, but most of the men in the audience were drinking and chatting by themselves, and did not pay much attention to her.
If you listen carefully, you can even tell that many of them are impatiently waiting for the woman in red to step off the stage so that the next girl can perform.
Obviously, this girl in red is not highly regarded in Yichun Court, and she is not considered a top-notch singer.
"Senior Brother Zhang, how many days has it been?"
At the wine table in the corner of the lobby, Shi Xiaolong begged Zhang Bangbang with a sad face, "If you don't express your feelings to that girl, I'm afraid my wallet won't be able to support it anymore."
"Don't be hasty, don't be hasty."
Zhang Bangbang took a bite of the chicken leg in his hand, wiped the shiny corner of his mouth with his sleeve, and replied vaguely, "After I finish this roast chicken, I will go up and talk to her."
I believe you as a ghost!
What kind of roast chicken is this?
Looking at Zhang Bangbang who was devouring his food, Shi Xiaolong scratched his hair hard and managed to hold back from swearing.
At first, he was so moved by Zhang Bangbang's persistence and deep affection that he took the initiative to accompany him to the imperial capital, and even paid for it out of his own pocket, intending to help Senior Brother Zhang gain love.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Bangbang vowed to confess his love every time, but when the critical moment came, he felt timid and hesitant. He watched the girl in red finish singing the song and leave with the piano in her arms, but he never dared to reveal his true feelings.
At the beginning, Shi Xiaolong was very active in giving him advice and encouragement, but more than twenty days passed in an instant, and Zhang Bangbang still looked like a coward, making no progress at all. Even with his good temper, he couldn't help but feel anxious.
Got up.
How can the consumption of the most luxurious brothel in the imperial capital be comparable?
With a roast chicken and a pot of fine wine every day, Shi Xiaolong watched helplessly as his money bag became more and more deflated, his anger became more and more intense, and his mood finally almost collapsed.
"Senior Brother Zhang!"
He patted Zhang Bangbang's shoulder heavily and said with a serious face, "I suddenly remembered that there are some important things to deal with in the door, so I can't stay with you any longer. You should do your best and take care of yourself!"
After saying that, he stood up suddenly, turned around and walked out of the building.
"Junior Brother Shi, don't leave!"
Seeing him trying to leave, Zhang Bangbang finally panicked, dropped the drumstick with his dirty right hand, grabbed his sleeve and said, "You, you're not here, I, I don't know what to do."
"Senior Brother Zhang."
Being rubbed by his greasy palms, Shi Xiaolong was not angry, but said seriously, "If this continues, it will be impossible to succeed even after three years. That girl has already reached the age to get married. Could it be that she
Will I keep waiting for you?"
"I, I also know that this won't work."
Zhang Bangbang scratched his hair again with his greasy left hand and said dejectedly, "But when I saw that girl, I was so nervous that I couldn't even speak. I always felt that I was not good enough for her."
"Senior Brother Zhang, how many times have I told you this?"
Shi Xiaolong held his shoulders, looked directly into his eyes, and said solemnly, "You are a disciple of the gods. With this status alone, there is no woman in the world who is not worthy of you!"
"No?" Zhang Bangbang perked up and said in a loud voice, "I can marry whoever I want to marry?"
"this……"
Shi Xiaolong realized that he had exaggerated, and quickly corrected him, "Of course, Master's women must not be provoked."
"Junior Brother Shi, you are right, I will go right away!"
Zhang Bangbang's expression was gloomy and uncertain. After a long while, his eyes gradually brightened up and he said firmly, "Wait for my good news!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around decisively, took long steps, and headed straight in the direction of the woman in red.
Why don't you wait until they finish singing!
Shi Xiaolong opened his mouth to dissuade him, but when the words reached his lips, he swallowed them alive.
Forget it, senior brother finally made up his mind.
If we attack him at this time, it will be unsightly if he follows his heart again.
Watching Zhang Bangbang's broad back getting further and further away, Shi Xiaolong's eyes flashed softly, with a blessing smile on his face.
However, as Zhang Bangbang was about to approach the ledge, his steps suddenly slowed down, and for some reason, most of the momentum he had just accumulated seemed to have dissipated.
What the hell...
Shi Xiaolong's heart skipped a beat, knowing that Zhang Bangbang was about to back down again. He immediately frowned and said the words "Mom, sell it" were stuck in his throat and he couldn't spit it out.
"Damn it! What kind of thing can this little girl sing!"
Just at this moment, at the wine table closest to the girl in red, a drunken man in white suddenly cursed, "How dare you come out to show your shame at this level? Why don't you get out of here and let girl Qingqing come up instead!"
The originally noisy lobby suddenly fell silent, and many people around him were disturbed and cast reproachful glances at him.
Even the girl in red stopped playing and singing and looked at the speaker in panic, her fair face showing fear and helplessness.
"What are you looking at?"
The man was obviously very drunk, and he yelled and cursed, "Don't you understand what people are saying? Why don't you get out of here?"
As he spoke, he grabbed the long-mouthed wine bottle next to him and threw it in the direction of the woman in red.
The girl in red had never experienced such a battle before. She stayed on the spot for a while, not knowing what to do. She could only watch the sparkling wine pot getting closer and closer to her, with wine spraying out from the spout from time to time.
Splattering in all directions.
Seeing that she was about to suffer disaster, a figure suddenly flashed through the air and stood firmly in front of her. He reached forward with his right hand and grabbed the wine bottle with a movement as fast as the wind.
Needless to say, it was Zhang Bangbang who acted bravely and acted heroically to save the beauty.
"what are you doing?"
He threw the wine bottle on the ground with a crisp sound, then raised his head and glared at the scolding person, and asked loudly, "Why did you hit her with something?"
"You, what are you?"
The man looked at him drunkenly and cursed to himself, "How dare you interfere in my business?"
"My name is Zhang Bangbang, and I am a barber!"
Zhang Bangbang used the most sonorous tone and said the most unflattering line, "As long as I am here, no one can hurt her!"
"Shaving, barber?"
Even the man who threw the flagon couldn't help but be a little stunned after hearing his self-introduction. He couldn't help but turn to his companion and asked, "Did I hear correctly? He said he was a barber?"
"Yes, Mr. Li did not hear wrongly."
The man next to him smiled and said, "This silly boy did say that he is a barber."
"Ha, ha, ha, ha! The barber, a little barber!"
The man who was called "Master Li" immediately laughed wildly, "You actually dare to interfere with my Li Hua's business!"
Several other people at the same table couldn't help but echoed in unison and laughed loudly, seeming to follow his lead.
It turned out that this man who lost his temper after drinking and behaved vulgarly was actually one of Coral's former blind dates, Li Hua, the son of General Chang Yuan Li Zhiyong.
Not to mention the side of the General's Mansion, even the girl in red who was rescued by Zhang Bangbang couldn't help but darken her eyes when she heard the three words "barber", and her face showed disappointment unconsciously.
