Speaking of Yanjing, we have to mention the old alleys of Yanjing.

And when it comes to the old alleys of Yanjing, we have to mention the eight alleys.

The eight alleys in the old Yanjing population do not specifically refer to the eight streets and alleys. Rather, it refers to the dozens of streets and alleys crisscrossing the Dashilar outside the front door.

Do you know why it is famous? Because this was once the most famous fireworks and willow lane in Yanjing, crisscrossing dozens of streets and alleys, and there are countless brothels.

And the brothels in these eight alleys are the most well-known and are among the best existences. Hence the name.

Of course, Qianqing didn't call it that. They have an elegant name, called Goulan.

Rouge Hutong Su Family Courtyard Flower Pavilion, this museum, can have a great background. In the Ming Dynasty masterpiece "Warning the World", the story of Wang Jinglong and Su San took place in this museum.

At this moment, in the courtyard, under the old locust tree, a game of chess, a pot of wine, several wine glasses, and two ancient Taishi chairs reflect each other, forming a unique picture.

Dong Qijiang stood in front of the gate of the Flower Pavilion, looking at the ancient blue brick wall that has gone through the vicissitudes of life and the lintel that has allowed the years to flow, but still has the smell of rouge, and said with a dumb smile: "This Jiang Huan is Jiang Huan, and the places chosen are so unique." ”

The Flower Pavilion is a three-entry quadrangle, and the gate is open in Baishun Hutong. As early as the Xianfeng period, there were such sentences to describe its grand occasion: incense carts were endless, prostitutes were blazing, and the call for wine and customers was deafening all night.

Although Dong Qijiang has long heard of the reputation of the Eight Hutongs, he has never been here. At this moment, along the bluestone paved path, entering the courtyard, looking at the corridor, green bricks, green tiles, and trees that have gone through the years but still have no decadence, I can't help but feel a little distracted.

There is no precinct

There were only people, just tables and chairs, chessboards, and good wine cooked at the right temperature.

"Where is my hometown, forget unless I am drunk. When the water is lying down, it is burned, and the incense and wine are not eliminated. Dong Qijiang smelled the wine, looked at the Purple Flower Pavilion that was no longer rouge, and couldn't help but sing a poem by Li Qingzhao.

As soon as the poem fell, I heard applause coming from inside.

"Good poetry. A good sentence of fragrant and alcoholic wine has not disappeared. "The burly Jiang Huan, hugging left and right, hugged a pair of warblers and Yanyan out of it, looking uninhibited, full of swinger image.

Dong Qijiang looked at Jiang Huan, who was hugging left and right, and was still very unruly in his hand, condensed his eyebrows, and secretly said in his heart: This Jiang Huan, is it possible that I will say this verse?

"But Brother Jiang?" Dong Qijiang smiled slightly, and said with a bit of ridicule between his eyebrows: "Wine and Beauty Pavilion, you are sitting on the blessing of Qi people!"

"Brother Dong still understands me!" Jiang Huan pinched the plump buttocks of the beautiful young woman beside him, and said with a smile: "How dare Jiang Mou enjoy it exclusively, he has already prepared a famous corner for Brother Dong." ”

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Huan let go of the two beautiful young women, clapped his palms, and said loudly: "Jiao Niang, please come out!"

"Yes, Childe. A soft and intimate voice sounded.

Immediately afterwards, a group of warblers and swallows came out. Each of them is exquisite, graceful and graceful. His clothes are all satin costumes. The makeup on the face is also rouge hibiscus, which is antique.

This is contemporary Yanjing, which is completely the grand scene of Goolan in the late Qing Dynasty.

"Dong Shao!" Jiang Huan grinned, pointing to the more than a dozen graceful aunts lined up in a row

Mother, said, "Pick it." ”

Dong Qijiang secretly scolded in his heart: This Jiang Huan, don't learn the good ones, learn some of the bad deeds of the stubborn people in the capital. It's better to be famous than to meet.

"Brother Jiang......" Dong Qijiang smiled elegantly and said: "I'm really sorry, although I, Dong, don't live in virtue, but I don't feel anything about this beauty, I hope to forgive me." ”

"Oh, Dong Shao is so sentimental?" Jiang Huan smiled and said, "However, since you have come to the land of Goolan, you have to follow the rules of Goolan ". How can there be a beautiful woman who doesn't come here. If you don't, I'll order it for you. ”

"Not really. Dong Qijiang frowned and said: "The Dong family has always been very strict, and Dong has always been self-disciplined, and he also invited Brother Jiang Haihan." ”

"Haihan?" Jiang Huan, who was still smiling just now, instantly changed color and said: "What, just because the Dong family's style is very strict, my Jiang family can't support the wall with mud? Otherwise, Lin Luo's matter, don't talk about it!"

Jiang Huan's face changed faster than the sky, which suddenly made Dong Qijiang's face a little unbearable.

"Jiang Huan," Dong Qijiang's face sank and said: "Don't speculate for more than half a sentence, since that's the case, don't pass it over." ”

He turned and walked out the door.

At this time, Jiang Huan's body moved, but he arrived in front of Dong Qijiang in an instant.

"Shrink the ground into inches!" Dong Qijiang frowned, and as soon as his body moved, he immediately performed the technique of shrinking the ground into inches and disappeared in place.

But at the moment when he moved, Jiang Huan moved again, blocking his way again.

"What?" Dong Qijiang stood still, wrinkled his eyebrows, stared at Jiang Huan and said, "What do you mean? Is it difficult to let you go?

"Dong Shao, it's boring for you to say this. Jiang Huan's face changed again, and he smiled again: "You see, I am sincere." Wouldn't it be in vain for you to turn around and leave? ”

Dong Qijiang put his hands behind his back, looked at the dozen beauties not far away, frowned, and said, "It's okay to drink, but it's not okay to be beautiful." Brother Jiang will look at it!"

"You, why are you so puzzled by Fengyue? If you can say the poems that have not disappeared from the incense and wine, how can you be regarded as a fellow practitioner. Jiang Huan said with a smile.

That's not true. Dong Qijiang raised his eyebrows and said: "Li Qingzhao said this, what he said is that the cigarettes in the incense burner have burned out, and the smell of alcohol has not subsided. I'm just saying this. ”

"Oh, is it? What incense burner doesn't burn. Incense, beauty also. Could it be that the beauty in front of you is not fragrant?" Jiang Huan strode forward, put one hand on Dong Qijiang's shoulder, and said with a smile: "What, look down on the beauty of Goolan ? It will not damage Brother Dong's family style. ”

Looking at Dong Qijiang's frowning, Jiang Huan continued: "The two of me, Amorous and Wanyue, are not the beauties of the Flower Pavilion. I brought it from outside. You see, although the appearance is good, there are many kinds of style, which can be different from them. ”

Dong Qijiang swept his eyebrows, and sure enough, he found that the two women Jiang Huan was sitting on just now were obviously different from the other dozen or so women standing in a row.

These two daughters have all kinds of charms, and at first glance they are people who have been fighting on the battlefield for a long time. A smile and a smile are all flattering. People can't help but indulge in it.

The corners of Dong Qijiang's mouth curled slightly, and he chuckled: "

I can't imagine that there is such a mystery in this. Since this is the case, then I will not sweep Brother Jiang's Yaxing. ”

"Please!" Jiang Huan bowed slightly and made a gesture of please.

Dong Qijiang glanced at the women, raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't know your sisters, but there are people who are good at playing the guzheng." ”

An innocent woman with the posture of a sinking fish and a goose took a step forward, gave a salute, and lightly opened her lips and said: "Little girl Zhaojun, I know a little bit about it, I don't know what kind of music the son plays?"

"Zhaojun?" Dong Qijiang was slightly stunned, and said with a smile: "Could it be that in addition to Zhaojun, among the others, there are Diao Chan, Xi Shi and Yuhuan?"

Jiang Huan immediately gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Dong Shao is really unparalleled in wisdom, and he can figure it out when he thinks about it." ”

He hurriedly pointed his finger at the women, and pointed in turn: "These four are Zhaojun, Diao Chan, Xi Shi and Yang Yuhuan in order. And a few here are Su Xiaoxiao, Li Shishi, Dong Xiaowan, Li Xiangjun, Chen Yuanyuan, Rushi and Luzhu and so on. ”

After listening to the introduction, Dong Qijiang couldn't help but say with a slight expression: "It turned out to be four beauties and ten famous prostitutes, and this flower hall really lives up to its name." It's a pity that I, Dong, am a rough man and don't understand this elegant thing. Okay, if you are annoying Miss Zhaojun, let's play a song "Zhaojun Out of the Plug" for us!"

Dong Qijiang straightened his clothes and walked straight to the eight-sided table under the old locust tree.

"Brother Jiang!" Dong Qijiang sat on the Taishi chair, looked at the chessboard, and smiled: "I don't know what to pay attention to in this chess and wine?"

"It's a big deal. Jiang Huan walked up quickly, also pulled out a chair and sat down, pointed to the chess on the chessboard, and said with a smile: "I didn't dare to play Go, I'm afraid you don't understand!"

The corners of Dong Qijiang's mouth twitched

twitched, and wanted to kill Jiang Huan. What do you mean by being afraid that you don't understand? Is it difficult, is it difficult to play Go?

On the contrary, Jiang Huan said it seriously, as if he was thinking about Dong Qijiang wholeheartedly. But how could Dong Qijiang not know the meaning of Jiang Huan's tone that was derogatory to him.

"The way of Go is broad and profound. It's really not suitable to take it out and get an axe. However, the art of chess, if you want to master it, is not easy. Dong Qijiang had something to say, and replied: "I, Dong, know a little bit about it, if I lose, please be merciful to Brother Jiang." ”

"If you lose, it's very simple!" Jiang Huan thought that he had already calculated, and said with a smile: "You lose, answer me a question." I lost, answer you a question. How?"

"Okay!" Dong Qijiang's expression froze, and he had already picked up the chess pieces on the chessboard: "Hongzi goes first, and I, Dong, will take it personally." ”

A head cannon rests in the center.

"At the beginning of the martial chess game, the first to win. Jiang Huan smiled, and also put the cannon in the middle.

Fight cannons with cannons.

When the first cannon layout is regarded as martial chess, while the flying elephant game and the immortal guide opening game are regarded as literary chess. Martial chess is vigorous, and literary chess is weak. At the beginning of the general martial arts, it already has a certain advantage.

And this way of playing chess, if it is playing chess with the elderly or elders, it is regarded as impolite behavior.

But among the younger generation, those who understand this chess etiquette know very little. Therefore, almost no one knows about martial chess and literary chess.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Huan knew this very well.

It can be seen from this that his chess attainments must not be bad.

When Dong Qijiang heard Jiang Huan say this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he picked up the wine glass, and looked at Jiang Huan carefully.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Huan hehe

said with a smile: "In terms of the upbringing of the Dong family, Dong Shao won't know about martial arts and chess, right? It's just that your Dong family, for hundreds of years, has respected my Jiang family." Is there a faux pas with a martial chess layout?"

Although he smiled and smiled, there was a kind of sharpness in his tone.

Boom! Dong Qijiang suddenly changed color, Huo Ran got up and said: "Jiang Huan, Dong Jiang Wang Xie, Yanjing Simen, when is there a difference between high and low? You must apologize for this sentence, otherwise, don't blame me Dong Qijiang for turning his face and not recognizing people!"
