As night fell, Qi Xuansu, led by Song San and Wu Si, came to a brothel in Beicheng.
This is also the most high-end brothel in the North City. Although it is still far from the brothels without civilians, it is not accessible to ordinary people. Most of the people who can come here are businessmen from other places, low-level officials, and wealthy people with low status.
It must be very high, but there must be no shortage of peace money.
As for Taoist priests, they would not dare to come to such a place blatantly. Even if they wanted to come, they would have to disguise themselves.
This was also carefully selected by Song San and Wu Si. They wanted to have the word "stable" in everything. This institute has a background in Jiaofangsi and is relatively formal. It is best not to cause any trouble and let this Taoist master
Returned satisfied.
At night, red lanterns illuminate the plaque of "Chunfeng Tower".
Song San introduced Qi Xuansu: "Master, the names of first- and second-class brothels are mostly 'yuan', 'guan', 'ge' and 'yuan', and the names of third- and fourth-class brothels are mostly 'room',"
They are named "Ban'," "Lou", "Dian", and "Xiachu". This Chunfeng Building is the third class."
Qi Xuansu nodded: "Don't call me Master, you can call me Lao Wei. If anyone asks, just say that I am a newly promoted trial 100-year-old from the 7000-household office of the Qinjun Duwei Mansion. I just graduated from the Liangzhou Qianhu Office."
When I came to the Imperial Capital, I was unfamiliar with the place, so you two brought me to see the world, remember?"
Song San was startled and quickly agreed.
As soon as the three of them entered the door, the bustard of the place had already come out to greet them.
The Qingluan Guards in the Imperial City have a special characteristic. Although they work as small soldiers and have few subordinates, they are all of high rank. For example, Song San and Wu Si have the official position of trying to test hundreds of households, which is not a school.
Wei, a powerful man, was placed in a local county. He was already the second-in-command of a hundred households in one place, commanding at least dozens of people.
With these two people's identities, being placed in a first- or second-class court is nothing, but being placed in a third-class court is considered a distinguished guest, and the Madam must be careful to receive them.
Song Sanqingqingqingqingqingqingqingqingqingqingqingqingqingqingqingqingqingqingqingqingqingqingqingqingqingqingqingqingqingqingqingqingqingqingqingqingqingqingqingqingqingqingqingqingchao, said after a few words: "find two waiters, bring some wine and fruits, half yellow wine and half red wine, no white wine, as usual, keep it in the account."
The madam replied with a smile. Few people drank liquor in brothels, just because liquor was intoxicating. If you got drunk, it would have been in vain.
Under the personal guidance of the madam, the three of them came to a separate private room. The decoration was not elegant, but a bit gaudy. In fact, this had nothing to do with the taste of the brothel itself. It mainly catered to the taste of the guests, such as first and second class.
The guests received by the brothel are all well-known people, including literati and elegant people. If you act gaudy, you will not be able to impress them, and you will naturally want to go in the direction of elegance. And the guests received by the third and fourth class brothels
Not reading much,
If you follow this example, you will be rejected by others.
Soon, two Qinghuan people arrived here under the leadership of the Madam. One was holding a pipa in his arms, and the other was in charge of singing, looking gentle and weak.
After the bustard mother said a few auspicious words, she withdrew.
Qi Xuansu looked at the two servants up and down, not like a man looking at a woman, but like a police officer looking at a potential prisoner. This is how Song San and Wu Si looked at Qi Xuansu before.
Zhang Yuelu said that Qi Xuansu has murderous intent in him. Although Qi Xuansu always looks easy to talk and harmless in front of Qiniang and Zhang Yuelu, fundamentally speaking, Qi Xuansu is not a good person, let alone a person who cherishes beauty. After all, he is
When he met Li Qingnu for the first time, he almost killed Li Qingnu with a bludgeon, threw Yue Liuli into the cave of the Demon Locking Tower, and directly gave Yao Pei a bludgeon. Even when he faced Zhang Yuelu as Wei Wugui,
He also tried his best. No matter how you look at it, he has nothing to do with the four words "cherish the fragrance and pity the jade."
This can be regarded as equal treatment in a certain sense. As long as they are opponents, it doesn't matter what gender they are. Some men will not eat the cake painted by their boss because they know it is fake, but they will take a few sweet words from a woman seriously, and in the end they will end up with both money and money.
Empty, maybe even a colored hat. To put it bluntly, these men do not treat women on an equal footing, or they still hold the idea that men are stronger than women, so how can they be undefeated if they underestimate the enemy?
But Qi Xuansu suffered a big loss at the hands of Yue Liuli when he was young. Later he met Qiniang and was taught by Qiniang's words and deeds. Later he came into contact with Zhang Yuelu, Yao Pei and others, all of whom were extremely capable women.
Qi Xuansu rarely has the mentality that a strong man must be humble to a woman. Since they are equal, why should they be humble? If they are humble, how can they be equal? If they are opponents, why should they hold back? Therefore, even if he faced Zhang Yuelu, he would not
There is some thought that we can't attack Zhang Yuelu, or we don't fight. Since we are fighting, let each of them rely on their own abilities.
People like Qi Xuansu are destined to have little luck with women, and are destined to be an alien in the eyes of many people. Some people even think that he has moral flaws and does not have the gentlemanly demeanor that Westerners admire. However, it is precisely because of these reasons that he
It attracted Zhang Yuelu, who was also a different kind of person.
On this point, Zhang Yuelu and Qi Xuansu have the same attitude. She believes that this kind of humility of the strong to the weak is no different from the rich giving alms to beggars. If you can't get it with your own ability, why should you rely on morality? She is no better than others.
What's the difference? If others can do it, she can do it too. Why bother?
Come and let her?
Therefore, the two people with very different identities and backgrounds are surprisingly suitable.
Qi Xuansu's attitude made the two women suddenly nervous and a little at a loss. In such places, they are used to seeing anxious people and rude people, and even fake and serious people, including women pretending to be men.
I've met a few, but I've never seen anyone like this.
If you are not interested in women, why are you in a brothel?
Qi Xuansu also realized that there was something wrong with his attitude, so he withdrew his gaze, adjusted slightly, and tried to be gentler: "You two girls, please sit down, don't be restrained, don't be nervous."
The two servants looked at each other and sat down timidly.
Qi Xuansu cleared his throat and asked, "What are the names of the two girls?"
"Replying to the guest officer, my little girl Qingmei."
"Little girl Xuemei."
Of course, this is not the real name, but the fancy name in this industry. After all, this industry relies on youth. In the future, women will become old and lose their beauty, and they will have to get married after being good. If they use their real names, it will be very difficult to find an honest man.
It's hard to say, especially for prostitutes who sell their bodies. Being a concubine is one thing, but being a wife is another matter. I'm afraid not many men are willing to be a living bastard.
"How long have you been in the industry?"
"As a guest officer, I have been in the industry for three years," Qingmei replied generously.
"This little girl has been in the industry for two years." Xuemei's voice was much softer.
Qi Xuansu joked: "To be honest with you two girls, this is my first time coming to the Imperial Capital. Country bumpkins come to the city, and country people come to the capital. Before I came to the Imperial Capital, I heard people say that the closer you are to the Emperor's feet, the stricter the laws.
Brothels and brothels are very strictly controlled, and they need to have some kind of paperwork. Let me just ask, do the two girls have that kind of paperwork?"
Xuemei covered her mouth and smiled softly: "This guest officer really loves to tell jokes. Only the shady 'ajar door' has no paperwork. People like us who open the door and do business seriously have paperwork. And they are clean.
Documents written by people are different from those of red farmers. Documents written by red farmers are more difficult to review and approve. Red farmers can do business as well as sell themselves, while Qing farmers can only sell their art. If you use the documents of Qing farmers to sell yourself, it will not work.
of."
"That's good." Qi Xuansu nodded and asked casually, "By the way, does the 'ajar door' you mentioned get a lot of business?"
"My lord, I'm sorry, but we don't know much about these things since we don't go out much." Xuemei was a little simpler, but Qingmei was much more mature and answered proactively before Xuemei could.
Qi Xuansu did not ask any more questions and signaled that the two women could start performing.
<
br> Song San flattered Qi Xuansu and poured a glass of rice wine.
Qi Xuansu took the rice wine and did not forget to thank him, which made Song San feel flattered.
Qi Xuansu was holding the rice wine, a little absent-minded. When the song was over, Qi Xuansu suddenly asked: "Why did you two get into this industry?"
Xuemei suddenly looked embarrassed, while Qingmei's expression changed slightly: "Sir, this is against the rules."
Qi Xuansu glanced at Song San: "What are the rules?"
Song San laughed dryly: "Of course it's an unwritten rule."
Qi Xuansu smiled and said, "Okay, since it's a rule, I won't ask."
Then Qi Xuansu ordered again: "The two girls are also tired. Please rest aside and find two more prostitutes to come over."
Wu Si quickly got up.
After a while, two more women in cooler clothes walked in. They were draped in vague gauze and exposed their white and bright shoulders. They didn't even need to give orders and took the initiative to lean towards Qi Xuansu - they were in this business.
, with extremely sharp eyesight, he could tell at a glance that Qi Xuansu was the person with the highest status.
However, Qi Xuansu gave in and signaled the two women to find Song San and Wu Si.
Qi Xuansu was not cold-blooded in this regard, but the other extreme. Not to mention his sensitive identity, it was difficult to leave a clue in this regard. Even if he did not have such concerns, he would not want to touch these women.
Song San and Wu Si had no scruples and held each other in their arms. Because the light in the room was dim, there was no harm in directly raising and lowering their hands, which would only encourage an ambiguous atmosphere.
However, in Qi Xuansu's opinion, this atmosphere, coupled with the influence of wine, is actually very suitable for falling asleep.
Qi Xuansu's eyes became dark, and he began to slowly activate his magic power, gradually covering the entire room.
This is the dream magic that the alchemist uses to enter the dream state. The biggest difference between supernatural power and supernatural power is that the magic power does not require additional practice of skills. After reaching the realm, it can be mastered naturally, similar to the flesh and blood derivation of a martial artist.
Logically speaking, Song San and Wu Si are both innate people and should be vigilant. However, in their opinion, this Taoist mage is either a Qi practitioner or a martial artist, otherwise he would not have such a strong body.
, without even thinking about the alchemist's side, he fell into the trap without warning.
After everyone was half asleep and half awake, Qi Xuansu put down the rice wine in his hand and began to repeat the questions he had just asked.
This time, neither the experienced Qingmei nor the two waiters who just came in made any secrets, as if they were talking in sleep and answered truthfully.
