After only two or three pinches, Hanmei put down her hand, and looked at Chen Feng's blushing face and laughed so hard that she couldn't stand upright for a while.
On the other side, among the women sitting there, one of the women in red brocade seemed to be unable to stand it any longer. She stood up and came to Hanmei's side, pinching her waist directly.
"You little girl, you are entertaining guests."
He glared at Hanmei, then turned around and looked at Chen Feng and the others with apologetic eyes.
"Young masters, I'm really sorry. Hanmei is naughty by nature. Please forgive me for any offence."
Hanmei seemed to know that she was too rash, so she quickly put aside her pretense and saluted and apologized to Chen Feng and the others.
"It doesn't matter. Since today is the Oiran Competition you mentioned, we three brothers have nothing to do, so let's go in and have a look."
Chen Feng waved his hand. The Oiran Competition was written about in many novels. He had long been curious about it. Now that he had the opportunity, he would go and see what the girls who won the championship were really like.
After saying this, Chen Feng was about to walk in, but found that the woman in brocade clothes in front of him did not give way.
"Master, because there are so many people who want to enter Qingyan Building today, we have set some rules in Qingyan Building. Everyone who wants to enter must pay one or two silver coins."
The woman in red brocade had an apologetic smile, and the few big men guarding the room also turned their heads. If Chen Feng and the others tried to enter without paying the money, they would be thrown out.
But when Chen Feng heard this, he was stunned. One tael of silver? Not bad, not much, and he didn't feel bad about it.
He took out three pieces of broken silver from his arms. Chen Feng weighed it when he was bored in the Huashan sect. Most of the broken silver was one tael, so these three pieces of broken silver happened to be the tickets for the three of them.
The woman in red brocade took the broken silver and handed it to Hanmei, asking him to weigh it.
After Hanmei finished weighing, she nodded, and then the woman in red brocade gave a gentle smile and moved out of the way.
Chen Feng nodded to the woman in red brocade clothes and walked in with Linghu Chong and the others.
After their figures disappeared, they heard a sigh coming from the small attic.
The woman in red brocade clothes turned her head, only to see Han Mei standing in front of her, looking dreamily in the direction where Chen Feng and others were leaving.
The woman in red shook her head helplessly.
"Little girl, are you tempted? She looks so entranced that everyone has already left."
Walking to Hanmei's side, he raised his hand and waved it in front of her eyes.
"It doesn't matter if you are tempted, the difference in status is like an abyss."
Hanmei smiled bitterly, she was self-aware that she was just a prostitute, and she was not worthy of a rich boy like that young master.
"Just understand and forget about it."
...
But what Hanmei and the others didn't know was that Chen Feng and others from a wealthy family in their eyes felt sorry for these three taels of silver.
"Junior brother, the entrance fee to Qingyan Tower is too expensive, only three taels of silver."
Linghu Chong swallowed a sip of saliva and looked at the small attic with some fear.
"Three taels of silver, that's okay. It's not very expensive."
Chen Feng gave Linghu Chong a strange look. All his belongings plus the ten taels of gold he won from the Five Mountains Conference were equivalent to two to three hundred taels of silver. (In this world, 1 tael of gold = 10 taels of silver = 10 taels of silver.
Copper coins = 10,000 copper coins.)
So Chen Feng didn't feel too distressed. It was equivalent to the fact that in the original world, you had two or three hundred dollars, and you spent three dollars. Do you feel distressed?
But then Linghu Chong's words made Chen Feng's heart begin to ache.
"Junior brother, you have a lot of money, but think about it, an ordinary person's monthly salary is only about two taels of silver. You have spent one and a half months' salary in one go. This time, the master and the wife gave it to us.
Five taels of silver, do you think it’s expensive?”
“Why is silver worth so much?”
Chen Feng took a breath and said, if I throw it away, in the original world, it would be equivalent to throwing thousands of dollars directly to others?
Chen Feng stopped. He spread out the palm of his left hand and stared closely at the prodigal's left hand. It turned out that this is what chopping his hand feels like.
He looked at Linghu Chong with a wry smile on his face, his eyes full of resentment.
"Senior Brother, there are some things that you just know in your heart. Why do you say them out loud?"
"Uh...hehe"
Linghu Chong also had a wry smile on his face. He was about to remind him, but this junior brother had already handed over the money to someone else.
"Junior brother, we will return the money to you."
Linghu Chong took out two pieces of broken silver from his arms and handed them to Chen Feng.
"???"
Chen Feng looked at Linghu Chong's extended hand, his face darkened.
"Elder brother, who are you looking down on? Are you making things difficult for me, Fat Tiger?"
He glared at Linghu Chong and walked directly into the depths of the garden without touching Linghu Chong's money.
I, Fat Tiger, oh no, I, Chen Feng, need your money? Although I threw away a few thousand, I still have hundreds of thousands, so what are you afraid of!
"Fat Tiger? Who is Fat Tiger?"
Linghu Chong and Linghu Chong looked at each other in confusion again, and then quickly followed Chen Feng as he walked away.
On the path on the lake, Chen Feng, Linghu Chong and the others looked around at the surrounding scene.
However, I found that at this time, everyone on the path or in the pavilion was hurriedly walking towards the large attic in the center of the garden, as if something was attracting them.
Chen Feng and the other three were very curious, so they followed them towards the big attic.
"Hurry up, hurry up. I heard that the oiran selection competition is about to start. I don't know who can win the oiran in the end."
"Needless to say? It must be Yu Tangchun. I was lucky enough to see her once in the capital. She really looks like a fairy."
"Hahaha, I don't necessarily know, it could be Yunsu who has just become famous recently. Her talent and beauty are no different from Yu Tangchun."
"Stop making noises, just go in and take a look and you'll find out."
"Let's go, let's go."
Listening to the conversations of several people nearby, Chen Feng was shocked.
Yu Tangchun knew that this was a famous prostitute of a generation. I heard that she was so obsessed with the son of a generation of virtuous ministers that she moved her family to a brothel. As a result, in less than a year, she lost all 30,000 taels of silver.
.
It shows that she does have something.
However, Yutangchun's experience after the virtuous minister's son spent all his money was very miserable. It was not until the virtuous minister's son finally got fame and came back to marry her that things got better.
Nowadays, this Yu Tangchun is still a famous prostitute in a brothel, and she probably hasn't met the son of that virtuous minister yet.
In addition, I also heard from another person that there is a man named Yunsu who is not as talented and beautiful as Yu Tangchun?
Then this is something to see.
Along with the crowd, Chen Feng and the other three walked into the large attic.
Looking at the scene in the large attic, Chen Feng's eyes widened. There were three floors in this attic.
Most people on the first floor were standing or sitting in the hall seats.
The second and third floors are all separate private rooms.
Chen Feng estimated that there were about a hundred people on the single floor alone, and including the second and third floors, there were almost more than three hundred people.
Although the number of people may not sound large, you must know that the people who can come here are either rich or noble.
In other words, probably most of the wealthy families in the entire Chang'an City gathered in this Qingyan Tower.
