The twentieth time settled in Pingkangfang

On Suzaku Street, Mei Sanniang wore an ankle-length curtain fence and walked like the wind. Qin Ying lowered her eyebrows and followed her.

At first glance, others will only think that this is an ordinary master and servant.

They walked for half a moment and arrived at the Suzaku Gate in the inner city of Chang'an. Chang'an is divided into two cities, inner and outer city, with two city walls.

The common people and dignitaries lived in the outer city, and the royal family lived in the inner city palace.

Mei Sanniang looked at the exposed corner of the white wall of the inner city, and was secretly surprised-this is Pingkangfang?

Before she could come back to her senses, Qin Ying had already given Mei Sanniang a look and signaled to turn east at this street entrance.

After passing through the Yudao Fang and the Wuben Fang, the rich fat powder floats sweetly in the air.

"Ahead is Pingkangfang. When you get there, don't open your mouth lightly. Just hand it over to me. ”

Hearing Qin Ying's words, I don't know why, Mei Sanniang faintly had a bad premonition. Soon her feelings came true.

To the north of Pingkang Fang is a neat low wall of gray tiles, and every house is tightly closed.

Walking around the corner, they heard a noise coming from inside the house. It's different from normal speech, but a more tortuous muffled moan.

Qin Ying knew where this unusual voice came from, but she didn't take the initiative to tell Mei Sanniang. Just took the other party around a few cross streets and hurried into the south.

The south is a bit more magnificent than the north, with rows of pavilions lining the streets.

Colorful ribbons and bronze bells hang on the eaves, attracting the eyes and ears of passers-by.

On the left and right of the Zhu Gate, there are expressionless strong men, which makes people dare not approach lightly.

Looking up, I saw a slender woman faintly revealing under the gauze tent hanging in the attic.

Looking at the people walking on the street, most of them are children with guards and jade wear.

Combined with what she saw and heard along the way, Mei Sanniang had already guessed that this Pingkangfang was the dense area of Flower Street and Willow Lane.

Thinking so, she pinched the corner of her tent.

raised his legs and wanted to turn around and leave, but listened to Qin Yingdao, who was walking side by side:

"The south of Pingkangfang is the most elegant place for fireworks in Chang'an City. As displaced people, you and I are hiding here, so that we will not be caught by the officers and soldiers who check the household registration. ”

Mei Sanniang glared at Qin Ying with an unkind color and said, "-Why?"

She now has the urge to cut off her robe with this person if she can't explain it clearly.

Qin Ying was not frightened by her eyes, but said with a smile: "The bustard mothers who run the Spring Pavilion are generally people with clear wrists, and they have close ties with the household department and the teaching workshop behind them.

"The most dangerous is also the safest. If you have the bustard's mother as a backing, what are you afraid of patrolling? Don't worry, I'll be hiding with you. She squinted triumphantly.

Mei Sanniang was confused when she heard it. She raised her hand and straightened her scattered sideburns, stopped and said, "You have a degree of free entry and exit across states and counties, why do you want to be my companion?"

"The master asked me to go down the mountain and go through the red dust before going back. In order to recover my life as soon as possible, of course I have to go to the dusty and sandy Spring Pavilion to roll around. ”

Qin Ying surpassed Mei Sanniang and walked in front without looking back.

The sun was warm, and Qin Ying's chic shadow was shining on the bluestone road.

Nanli is the most prosperous area of Pingkangfang, and the three streets in Nanli have advantages and disadvantages, and the middle street wins.

On the middle street, there will be a few red lanterns hanging in the eaves of each pavilion. The lantern is inscribed with the stage name of the official prostitute invited by the family.

Just look at the number of lanterns to know if the building is running properly.

Official prostitutes are not something that any spring pavilion can afford. Official prostitutes bring more income, and their own expenses are correspondingly high.

The status of official prostitutes is higher than that of domestic prostitutes, camp prostitutes, and private prostitutes. They were allowed to go in and out of various official residences and attend different high-class banquets.

Prominent official prostitutes are registered separately in the household register. Compared with the inferior singing and dancing voices, there is an extra layer of personal security.

In her previous life, when Qin Ying met Mei Sanniang, she was already a hot official prostitute in Chang'an.

In this life, Qin Ying will personally send her to the position of an official prostitute.

Qin Ying knew that if a weak woman who had no power to restrain her chickens wanted to live in Chang'an without relatives for a long time, in addition to going into the mansions of large families to be servants and maids, she would sell wine and food in the east and west markets, or go to Pingkangfang to sell colors.

For ordinary people, Pingkang Fang is the next choice. If you are not cornered, you will never go there to abuse yourself.

However, Pingkangfang is Mei Sanniang's best place to return.

Mei Sanniang is pure, she can't deal with the battle of the big family's house, and when she enters the back house, she enters the ghost gate with one foot.

And she is not sociable, she can't deal with the gangsters in the East and West markets, and she is teased and bullied when she enters the wine shop.

Thinking about these hurdles, Qin Ying made a careful choice for her.

I once heard Mei Sanniang say that she learned several musical instruments during the music camp, and Di and Xiao were the most proficient.

This strengthened Qin Ying's determination to bring her into Pingkangfang.

With Mei Sanniang's appearance and appearance, it won't be long before she can be valued by the discerning bustard mother.

At that time, the bustard's mother will use all kinds of methods to compile Mei Sanniang's name into the official book.

In this way, Mei Sanniang has a new identity as an official prostitute.

The Spring Pavilion is judged by the number of official prostitutes, and when there are more official prostitutes, it is more comfortable for the bustard's mother to collect money.

Qin Ying didn't believe that the bustard mother would bury the best pearls under the sand, and it would be a barrier to the broad financial route.

Chang'an Pingkangfang, Nanli Middle Street, Zhonglu Pavilion.

Under this Zhumen Bitile, there are two large lanterns hung, the one on the right is written "Moxiang", and the left is written "Zhaotan".

Qin Ying recognized these words effortlessly, and said in her heart that the official prostitutes here were still the same as in her previous life.

Two large teapots are waiting for guests outside the door. The large teapot in charge of the handyman or thug is the northern name, and the south has a less elegant name: the turtle slave.

Qin Ying first gave a deep bow to the big teapot, and then said: "The boy Qin Ying and the third lady of my family are from Yizhou, and they came to Chang'an after the family was ruined, and they want to make a living here. Please pass it on to the bustard's mother. ”

The big teapot didn't answer her immediately, and glanced behind Qin Ying before turning around and entering the door.

Even if Mei Sanniang was wearing a curtain fence covering her head, she was furious by this look.

They waited silently for a moment, and the bustard mother shook her handkerchief and stood in front of Qin Ying.

"--Please come in." The middle-aged bustard's mother, who was wearing a thick layer of makeup, said with a smile.

Beckoning Qin Ying and the others to sit on the cushion in the center of the front hall, the bustard mother raised her hand and pinched the orchid finger, poured herself a cup of tea, and said leisurely:

"You have no one to rely on in Chang'an, so you want to settle here?" She flicked the celadon cup and smiled at Qin Ying, "But...... I, Zhong Lu Pavilion, have no shortage of two little guys. ”

Qin Ying saw that the bustard's mother despised them, and replied indifferently: "My lady's eight characters are unspeakably expensive, and they are not the life of the little girl."

The bustard mother pulled the corner of her mouth and smiled: "Hah." The little lady with the curtain opened the tent and let me see. Qin Ying's words successfully aroused her curiosity.

She wanted to see - what kind of little lady has an indescribably expensive eight characters, and she has reached the point of entering Pingkangfang to make a living?

Mei Sanniang didn't want to pay attention to the bustard's mother's request. I saw Qin Ying signaling her to act obediently with her eyes.

"It's not a country or a city, but it's still amazing." Mother Bustard nodded, clearly pleased with her bare makeup.

She asked Mei Sanniang about it again. Including what her name is, how old she is, whether she has learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, singing, dancing, music and poetry.

The tea soup on the stove boiled twice, and the lady who knelt next to the small case to make tea poured a full cup for the bustard mother.

The two of them were almost finished answering questions, and the bustard mother said to the tea lady who lowered her eyebrows: "Abi, send the two new people to the backyard."
