Chapter 79: Looking for Fengya Lord, Fengya Pavilion
The word "brothel" originally referred to a luxurious and exquisite elegant house in the past. It was not until the previous dynasty that the two meanings of "brothel" appeared, and there were even examples of one person writing and using both meanings. For example, in the Tang Dynasty
The famous poet Wei Zhuang's "The Young Master"
": "To the east of the brothel imperial garden on the avenue, the branches of apricots on the jade fence are red", which is related to the avenue and the high gate, but has nothing to do with the pleasures and wine; and in his "Tao Lian Chapter" "the moonlight shines brightly and the candles are bright.
, the "brothel" refers to a brothel.
At this time in Daliang, anything on the market that could be called brothel was considered a romantic place.
Ling Shiqing, Li Longqian, Lu Zhengyang and the others left the inn with the guards. Such a large group of people suddenly appeared in the street, and they were led by a very outstanding-looking beauty, so they were instantly attracted.
In the eyes of the people of Yangzhou, in order not to misunderstand, Li Longqian deliberately did not let Lu Zhengyang bring his wave hammer. If he really brought it with him, he would know that he was here to have fun when he entered a brothel.
I thought they were here to cause trouble.
Lu Zhengyang was telling the truth when he said that he had never been to a brothel. Naturally, Ling Shiqing had never been to that brothel. Of the three, Li Longqian seemed to be the only one who had really been to that brothel. But even if he had been, Li Longqian had never been to that brothel.
Long Qian was also in those days when the Zuixian Tower in the town really couldn't spare any manpower, so the landlady sent Li Longqian there. After Li Longqian arrived at the Zuixian Tower,
Only then did he know what it means to be in a state of true intoxication. At that time, Li Longqian felt that the woman in the Zuixian Tower was the most beautiful woman in the world. He only regretted why he went to that small inn instead of looking for the girl in the Zuixian Tower.
After working as a waiter for three to five years, wouldn't it be possible to learn to help the lady greet the guests like the old madam?
Although Li Longqian never really squandered a lot of money in that brothel, based on those few days in Zuixian Tower, Li Longqian had a deep understanding of these so-called singers and courtesans, as well as those who came to have fun.
The young master still has a certain understanding of it, so even if he doesn't go to that brothel, drink wine and listen to the community's activities, Li Longqian is still familiar with it.
Everyone walked on the street for a while. Li Longqian suddenly stopped and looked at the palace-like building in front of him. He couldn't help but sigh. This brothel in Yangzhou is really extraordinary. It is really worthy of these ten people.
When I wake up in Yangzhou dream, I win the reputation of being a brothel.
Everyone followed Li Longqian's line of sight and saw a black golden nanmu plaque hanging on the top of the red vermilion-lacquered door, with three large characters "Fengya Pavilion" inscribed with dragons and phoenixes on it.
"Even the name is so meaningful, it's a good place." Li Longqian nodded with satisfaction.
"Is this the place?" At this time, Ling Shiqing was not in the mood to listen to those useless words Li Longqian said, so she curled her lips and asked.
"This is it, go in and take a look."
Li Longqian nodded, and then led Ling Shiqing and others directly towards Feng Ya Pavilion.
The girls outside Fengya Pavilion were already shocked when they saw such a large group of people like Li Longqian. After all, drinking flower wine is not a casual activity, even in this brothel in Shibuyi, Yangzhou.
In this area, the general young masters would come in groups of three or five, but people like Li Longqian came with more than twenty people.
, it was really the first time for the girls to see him, and there was actually a woman accompanying this young master. Just a woman, she turned out to be a woman even more beautiful than her own oiran. The girls were stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly ran towards Li Longqian to greet him.
He walked over, then patted Li Longqian's chest with a smile and asked, "Master, are you coming to play?"
"Ahem..." Ling Shiqing saw these girls behaving so wildly. She fell into Li Longqian's arms as soon as they met, frowned and coughed twice.
"Hey, why are you bringing a girl with you? Sir, our girls are still not allowed in." The girl from Feng Ya Pavilion shouted at Ling Shiqing. This is not nonsense of girls, such things as brothels.
Women really can't get in.
Li Longqian looked at the girls in front of him and smiled, then turned to look at Lu Zhengyang and said, "Reward!"
When Lu Zhengyang heard this, he quickly took out his banknotes and prepared to find some rewards for the girls. However, before he could find them, Li Longqian snatched them away and stuffed all the three or five banknotes into the girls.
On the chest, the girls were stunned for a moment after seeing the banknote. They never expected that this inconspicuous young man would be so generous. Could it be that they really met some young prince out for fun today?
"Can my wife go in now?" Li Longqian patted the girl's face and asked with a smile.
"Okay, okay..." The girls nodded quickly.
"Get out of the way."
Li Longqian replied lightly, and then walked directly into the lobby of Fengya Pavilion with Ling Shiqing and more than 20 guards. Several girls at the door looked at Li Longqian's back and only regretted that they had not just
If you behave well, if you are really attracted by this generous young master, won't you not have to do some despicable things in this brothel?
After everyone entered the gentle town where gold and silver flowed, whether it was Li Longqian, Ling Shiqing or others, they probably sighed in their hearts that the luxury of this lobby seemed a bit excessive.
Beams, crystal jade as lamps, pearls as curtains, Fan Jin as the pillar foundation, and in the middle of the lobby, a huge bright star hangs.
The moon beads are shining like the bright moon. Looking further down, the lobby floor is covered with white jade, embedded with golden beads, and the ground is carved into a lotus, which looks like five lotus flowers. The petals are fresh and exquisite, and even the stamens are delicate and discernible.
, you can only feel the warmth when you step on it with bare feet. It is actually made of warm jade from Lantian. It is as straight as a jade lotus growing step by step. It is comparable to the extravagance of Pan Yuer stepping on the golden lotus.
"I don't know how many people in the world don't even have food to eat, yet here we are so drunken and lavish." Lu Zhengyang couldn't help but sigh.
"It has nothing to do with you not being able to eat. It's just for today that you're so drunk." Li Longqian whispered back, then turned to look at Ling Shiqing and said, "Please."
Ling Shiqing looked at this extravagant place and was a little surprised, because in Ling Shiqing's eyes, this brothel was nothing more than a place where women with heavy makeup and those slutty young men did some shameful things, but
Looking at Feng Ya Pavilion again, it is completely different from what Ling Shiqing imagined.
There were also girls receiving guests, but most of them were drinking and listening to music in the lobby, just like listening to books in the restaurant. It was not as dirty as Ling Shiqing thought.
The difference is that there are several pretty girls sitting around these people to accompany them with wine, but they are just accompanying them with wine.
"The people who can come to this place are all rich. The rich must be more particular about things. They like artistic conception more, so the people here must be different from the people in Le'an City." Li Longqian saw it.
Ling Shiqing was confused and explained in a low voice.
"You understand quite a lot." Ling Shiqing calmed down and rolled her eyes at Li Longqian.
A young man of seventeen or eighteen years old stood at the door of Fengya Pavilion. When he saw Li Longqian and others coming in, he quickly shouted: "Wang Ma, we have a visitor."
Li Longqian knew that this was the call hall of a brothel, the one who greeted guests, so he casually took some broken silver from Lu Zhengyang's hand without saying a word, and then threw it next to the young man. When the young boy saw the silver, he quickly shouted thank you.
Master, then he started to bend down to pick up the silver.
While the boy was picking up the money, a bustle who was more mature and charming than an actress came towards Li Longqian and others with a smile on her face. Li Longqian knew at a glance that this bustard was probably also famous for her beauty back then.
Even though he is older, his appearance is still a bit higher than that of ordinary people.
"Hey, whose young master is this? Why did you give this girl to..."
Before the madam could say anything, Li Longqian stretched out his hand to find a banknote and stuffed it into the old madam's collar. Then he looked at the madam and said, "I'm so happy that I've brought my ladies with me. Is that convenient?"
"Oh, what's the inconvenience of this?" The old madam looked at the banknotes at her collar and smiled coquettishly, and then continued: "Young master is really lucky to find such a reasonable wife."
"I..." Ling Shiqing opened her mouth to explain after hearing this, but was stopped by Li Longqian. Then Li Longqian looked at the madam with a bright smile and said, "Have you seen these people behind me?"
"I've seen it, I've seen it, sir, don't worry, the girls here are so young, I guarantee you a hundred satisfaction." The old madam patted Li Longqian's chest and replied.
Li Longqian chuckled, then pointed at the guards behind him and said: "Then please find some gents who can dance and dance for my brothers, and then choose a secluded place and let them have fun on their own.
, this girl and I can just drink tea casually."
"Master, why don't you find some girls to accompany us? We have a few new ones here, and we can't find out their looks." The madam looked at Li Longqian and asked.
"How do you compare with me?" Li Longqian stretched out his hand and hugged Ling Shiqing, then looked at the madam and asked.
Ling Shiqing glared at Li Longqian. Although she was disgusted in her heart, she had no choice but to say that Lu Zhengyang and the guards behind him were watching, so she couldn't say anything.
The madam raised her head and glanced at Ling Shiqing, then smiled awkwardly. She knew that her girl was definitely incomparable to the fairy in front of her, so she didn't dare to say anything more and just asked Li Longqian to wait.
People rushed towards the seats in the lobby.
"From now on, you can each play your own way. You must rush back to the inn before midnight." Li Longqian let go of Ling Shiqing's shoulders, turned around and shouted.
"Okay." Everyone agreed, and then started to find their own fun.
"Madam, why don't we go and listen to a little song?" After everyone dispersed, Li Long looked at Ling Shiqing with a smile and asked.
"If you dare to touch me again, I will kill you!" Ling Shiqing replied with a biting voice.
