Chapter 80: Continuing the ten-year life of the old slave
The brothel itself is a place where rich people go to have fun and spend their time, so most of the people who can come to the brothel come for the girls in the brothel, but the Fengya Pavilion where Li Long Qianling Shiqing came today is
Otherwise, because the consumption level of this Feng Yage is unparalleled both in Yangzhou and in Daliang as a whole.
There are countless people who can come to this place for entertainment, and they will definitely not spend a lot of money on the belly of the singer, and put it in the name of appreciation. What can you appreciate in a brothel?
It's nothing more than appreciating those songs and dances that are hard to see on a daily basis and that ordinary people may find offensive.
The main reason why Fengya Pavilion stands out among the many brothels in Yangzhou, Daliang, is that Fengya Pavilion has an oiran who is said to sing like the sounds of nature and dance like a fairy. Let’s not talk about his appearance. Since it is this
The appearance of a prostitute from a brothel is definitely not too ordinary. Just talking about the oiran's singing, it is said that listening to it can make people forget about food and tea for three days and three nights.
, that dance makes people mesmerized and unable to extricate themselves after seeing it, so in this magnificent Fengya Pavilion, there were countless high-ranking officials who spent a lot of money just to take a look at the graceful dance of this oiran and listen to the sound that can make people wonder.
She dreamed of singing, and even went so far as to spend her fortune just to see what the courtesan's figure and voice would look like on that big bed.
But this oiran is also famous for his weird temper. Even if he sings and dances, there are days. On the first and fifteenth day of each month, even if the emperor comes during the remaining time, the oiran will not come out to perform. This is not a lie.
By the way, Uncle Huang, the old city lord of Le'an City, came to Yangzhou just to take a look at the graceful dancing of this oiran. But unfortunately, it happened to be seventeen that day, and it had just passed the day when other oirans came out to receive guests.
The emperor's uncle had no choice but to go to Chang'an City to interview the saint tomorrow, so he thought of paying the courtesan to come out and sing a song and dance. However, no matter how much the old emperor's uncle paid, the courtesan just refused to sing. The old bustard said that he was too arrogant.
Skin
It was almost worn out, but it still didn't work. In the end, the old uncle really didn't hear the oiran's singing. Instead, he waited for himself to come back from the interview and waited in Yangzhou City for ten and a half days before he heard the oiran's singing.
.
After listening and reading, the old uncle said calmly that the half-month wait was worth it, and then left with a reward of a thousand taels.
After this incident, the reputation of the Feng Yage Courtesan became completely famous in Daliang. For a time, it became famous for thousands of miles. Every first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, there would be countless high-ranking officials coming here to pay tribute to them.
What I want is to learn what the old uncle did and listen to the sweet voice of the oiran once. However, although this oiran has a weird temper, he is not like other famous oirans who play quip every day.
Performing arts but not selling one's body is actually nothing more than wanting to add some chips to one's own worth. Although this oiran also performs arts but does not sell one's body, what is different from others is that after every performance on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, this oiran will be in the lobby.
Choose a man, and then spend a precious moment with him that is worth thousands of dollars. If anyone is really so lucky to be noticed by this courtesan, he will really envy others.
Everyone in Yangzhou seems to know that Feng Yage, the oiran, has a very strange temper. He has a chance to sing and dance, and he does not sell his body as an artist, but he takes away a man every time, and even if he spends the spring morning together, he will not get a penny, and others will pay for it. The oiran gave away the things that didn't come to others for nothing, which really pissed off those dandy boys who wanted to see how good the oiran was in bed.
…
After the madam arranged the guards, Li Longqian, Ling Shiqing, Lu Zhengyang and the others just found a secluded place in the hall. While drinking the fine rice wine, they watched the singing and dancing birds in the hall. In fact, After Ling Shiqing came in, many people focused on Ling Shiqing. After all, Ling Shiqing's appearance was too outstanding. Even in this brothel with hundreds of flowers blooming, Ling Shiqing still looked so charming. She has the slightest feeling of standing out, so some people misunderstood that Ling Shiqing was the new top oiran of their Feng Yage. Some even took the initiative to find the old bustard and asked, since your Feng Yage has produced such a beauty, why didn't you give it to her first? I introduced her, and the madam explained helplessly that this woman was not from Fengya Pavilion. After knowing that she was not a prostitute from Fengya Pavilion, the group of people became even more curious. After all, this Li Longqian was just more handsome. , but whether it is the way he dresses or the way he talks, he is not worthy of the fairy beside him. Why is this good fairy so blind that she can fall in love with an ordinary man like Li Longqian? For a moment, Li Long Qian seemed to be surrounded by that vicious look again, but after such a long time, Li Longqian was no longer surprised by this kind of look, and had long been accustomed to it.
"Why don't you find some singers who can chat with you?" Ling Shiqing asked seemingly casually while sitting next to Li Longqian.
"If I find it, won't you be jealous?" Li Longqian asked, playing with the wine glass in his hand and looking at Ling Shiqing with a smile.
When Ling Shiqing heard this, she instinctively froze for a moment, glanced at Lu Zhengyang beside her, and then said softly: "If you dare to look for her, I dare not be angry."
"Haha, forget it, I'm not good at this." Li Longqian waved his hands slightly and shamelessly said that he was not good at this. If Li Longqian was not good at this, then probably no one in the world would be good at this. Li Longqian looked Ling Shiqing continued without saying anything: "If you really have the leisure, you should find two for Leader Lu. After all, it is quite disturbing for him to sit here."
"It's okay, it's okay." Lu Zhengyang waved his hands quickly when he heard this. Although Lu Zhengyang also wanted to have a hearty meal of wine like the guards, but Li Long Qianling and Shi Qing had no choice. There couldn't be anyone around him, so Lu Zhengyang endured the loneliness in his heart and followed these two people to sit in the lobby.
"Go ahead, I think you feel uncomfortable." They were both men. How could Li Longqian not know what Lu Zhengyang was thinking right now, so he waved his hand casually.
"Sir, this..." Lu Zhengyang still looked a little embarrassed.
"Go if you are told, Miss Ling, don't you think so?" Li Longqian knew that Ling Shiqing was silent and Lu Zhengyang still didn't dare to leave, so he looked at Ling Shiqing with a smile and asked.
"Well, Chief Lu, there is no need to waste this great time on the two of us." Ling Shiqing nodded considerately.
"Then..." Lu Zhengyang scratched his head in embarrassment, but did not say the second half of the sentence.
"Let's go, let's go, gentlemen, mother-in-law and mother-in-law." Li Longqian cursed irritably.
Lu Zhengyang smiled, saluted Ling Shiqing, and then ran towards where the guards were.
Ling Shi watched Lu Zhengyang leave with a smile, then curled her lips and asked, "Are you men all of the same virtue?"
"Why don't I just sit here and not move?" Li Long replied with a slight smile.
Ling Shiqing glared at Li Longqian and said angrily: "If you continue to squander like this, I'm afraid we won't have enough money."
"If it's not enough, then don't spend it." Li Longqian stretched out and continued with a smile: "Even if it's not enough, the money that should be spent in this brothel is still indispensable."
"Why?" Ling Shiqing asked.
"In this world, men only have these few hobbies, good wine and beautiful women. If they are reluctant to spend money on these two things, then what's the point of living?"
"But you spent my money." Ling Shiqing bit her silver teeth and shouted in a low voice.
"You are my wife, and what is yours is mine."
"Who said that, we have broken off our engagement."
"Others don't know."
"You are a scoundrel."
"It's not too late for you to know now."
"You!" Ling Shiqing pointed at Li Longqian, then turned around with eyes wide open, not wanting to talk to Li Longqian any more.
Li Longqian saw Ling Shiqing getting angry and smiled helplessly, then squinted at the Yingge Yanwu under the pearl in the lobby, but after meeting Ling Shiqinglan Aoxue, Li Longqian looked at this again
The singers and dancers in Fengya Pavilion are inevitably a bit boring. Although these people are all good-looking, they are still a little vulgar compared to fairies like Ling Shiqinglan Aoxue. Li Longqian can't even mention them.
This interest is also natural.
"Today is the first day of the new year. I heard that Mrs. Qing will come out."
Just when Ling Shiqing and Li Longqian were silent, the conversation of the guests next to them reached Li Longqian's ears.
"Yes, after I listened to Mrs. Qing's singing last time, I couldn't fall asleep the whole night when I got home. It was really haunting."
"I don't know who will be favored by Madam Qing today. If it happens to me, I would rather trade these five years of my life for it."
"Then I'm willing to work for ten years."
"Ha ha."
The two looked at each other and smiled, then continued drinking and watching singing and dancing.
After Ling Shiqing heard this conversation, she couldn't help but curled her lips and said in a low voice: "I really don't know what you men are thinking, that you would give up ten years of your life just for the love of an oiran.
, it’s really ridiculous.”
"Everyone has his own merits. There are some things that you just can't get in exchange for ten years of your life." Li Longqian replied in a low voice.
Ling Shiqing turned to look at Li Longqian and asked curiously: "If I gave you a chance and gave you ten years of your life, what would you exchange for it?"
"I am willing to use my ten years of life to extend this old slave's ten years of life." Li Longqian almost blurted out.
Ling Shiqing was stunned when she heard this.
"What about you?" Li Longqian looked at Ling Shiqing and asked.
"If it's really possible, I would trade ten years of my life for ten years of my mother's life. If it doesn't take ten years, I'll accept five years." Ling Shiqing's expression was a little sad.
Li Longqian glanced at Ling Shiqing, and then whispered: "But God will not do this deal after all."
