Chapter 52, Chang'an Experience

In the inner courtyard of Xu's house, Xu Hui came to the front yard next to Jiang Wei's side courtyard with the piano, which was in the front yard, at this time, nine-year-old Ruoniang was taking the lead in teaching seven-year-old Xu Lu and five-year-old Xu Qi Dan to build snowmen.

This idea was told to Ruoniang by Jiang Wei before leaving, Ruoniang listened, her eyes lit up, so she happily ran to build a snowman, and Xu Lu and Xu Qitan were curious at first and didn't know what Ruoniang was doing.

Xu Hui came to the pavilion to play the piano, and glanced at the courtyard where Jiang Wei was next to him, but after the two songs were played, he didn't see any movement in the courtyard, and he couldn't help but feel curious.

"Ruoniang, where is your brother?"

Ruo Niang's little face was flushed, and when she heard that Xu Hui was shouting about herself, she tilted her little head and opened her mouth.

"Brother? In the yard! ”

Xu Hui's fingers gently brushed his cheeks and pinned his hair behind his ears,

"Then you go and ask your brother to come out to play!"

Ruoniang nodded simply, and was thinking about letting her brother see the snowman she made, so she replied sweetly with a smile on her face,

"Okay."

After Ruoniang trotted away, Xu Hui's slender fingers pinched the white fox fur shoulders and straightened it, and then began to play her favorite song "Spring and White Snow".

Ruoniang went alone, or came back alone, Xu Hui Fuqin stopped,

"Ruoniang, doesn't your brother want to come out?"

Ruoniang shook her head in a depressed mood, and her mouth was flattened.

"Brother, he's gone."

Xu Hui was stunned for a while, and then she wanted to understand what Ruoniang meant, she looked at the qin, and her good mood suddenly became a little bad.

At this time, Jiang Wei came to the vicinity of Pingkangli in a carriage, and after getting out of the carriage, he said to the coachman,

"It's cold, don't stand outside, go into the carriage and rest and wait for me."

The coachman smiled, feeling that Jiang Wei was really a good person.

"Gongzi Xie."

Because it was still snowing heavily at this time, the streets of Chang'an City were relatively deserted, Jiang Wei was holding a paper umbrella, wearing a white Confucian robe with white hair, and his elegant posture slowly walked in a white world, with a taste of detachment from the world.

Walking on a bridge, I found two women enjoying the snow by the river on the bridge. The two women also found Jiang Wei, their faces turned red when they saw it, and they couldn't help but whisper and trot away, leaving only a pleasant chuckle.

Jiang Wei smiled and shook his head, he gradually noticed that his white hair was indeed a little too eye-catching, and it always attracted the attention of many roadside scholars or merchants.

However, Jiang Wei didn't care about this, and at this time, his attention was all attracted by this beautiful ancient scenery.

This kind of atmosphere is something that can only be enjoyed in modern times. It was the first time since he came here that he walked aimlessly on the streets, enjoying the antique scenery on the side of the street. Enjoy the atmosphere of the snowy days of the Tang Dynasty.

It's a wonderful feeling, and it gives you a real taste of a thousand years ago. Experiencing every scenery thousands of years ago, watching the women buying goods, and listening to the children chattering about you chasing me, Jiang Wei watched with relish.

"Look, that weirdo keeps an eye on that little lady shopping."

Not far away, two men dressed as literati whispered vigilantly, Jiang Wei heard better, but he still heard it vaguely, couldn't help coughing, turned around and left, didn't look at it.

I saw almost it, and I also walked to the vicinity of Pingkangli, Jiang Wei didn't stop, and patted the blackened snow stains on the robe. On snowy days, because there are more people walking, some snow is mixed with mud, and wearing such a robe is a bit of a hindrance because it is easy to get dirty.

Jiang Wei went straight to the street of Pingkangli, and the two literati not far away saw him walking into Pingkangli, and couldn't help but whisper.

"You see, this person looks like a talent, but in fact he is a perverted reincarnation, just staring at other people's little ladies, turning his head and running away from Pingkangli."

Jiang Wei didn't hear this sentence because he walked away, otherwise he would have to vomit three liters of blood.

Pingkangli, also called Pingkangfang, is located in the fifth square of the third street (from north to south) in the east district, adjacent to Dongshi in the east, adjacent to Chongrenfang across Chunming Avenue in the north, and Xuanyangfang in the south.

Because Pingkangfang is located in the north of the city, it is not far from the north gate, so it is also called "Beili". In the late Tang Dynasty, an old official, Sun Di, wrote a book called "Beili Zhi" in the fourth year of Zhonghe (884), which recorded the life of the courtesans of Pingkangfang before Huang Chao invaded Chang'an, and used it to remember the good times that would never come again.

Jiang Wei chose a company that looked the most imposing on the outside, called Zuihualou. There are no old pigeons in front of the goal, which makes him have a good impression of the place.

After entering, there were no women walking around, but men sitting together drinking tea.

What about the Qinglou? How are they all men, just when Jiang Wei felt strange, a little brother dressed as a second came over.

"Childe is here for the first time?"

Jiang Wei glanced at the man, who was in his early twenties, although he was dressed modestly, he was also clean and neat.

"Yes, it's my first time here, and I don't know the rules here."

The little brother smiled and expressed understanding,

"Is Childe going to the inner courtyard or does he want to see a girl alone? If you want to see a girl alone, you need to pay a reservation fee first, and if the girl you want to see has no guests, or if it's your turn, someone will take you there. ”

Jiang Wei nodded, he finally understood, and understood why this hall was full of men, these were all people in line. However, this little brother also said one word at the beginning, that is, the inner courtyard.

"What is the Inner Courtyard?"

The little brother was more patient and gave a detailed introduction to the inner courtyard. Only then did Jiang Wei understand what the inner courtyard was. In the form of a banquet, where all the guests can drink, watch shows, and have fun in an orderly manner, it is a relatively low-end place.

But Jiang Wei didn't have the heart to waste time waiting, and he didn't like that kind of occasion very much.

"Which girls here have fewer appointments?"

The little brother looked Jiang Wei up and down, and seemed a little uncertain,

"What do you call this son?"

"A certain surname is Jiang, and a single name is a great character."

"It turned out to be Jiang Gongzi."

Only then did the little brother confirm his thoughts,

"Please come with me here, and take my son to the appointment office first."

When he came to the appointment office, Jiang Wei looked at dozens of names written on the wall, and there were many wooden signs under the names, and the wooden signs were all written with some numbers, such as One Two Three Wu Lu Qi Jiu and so on.

A sign represents a guest who has made an appointment, and there is a woman from Fan Xuanxuan in it, but there is no sign under the name.

Jiang Wei did not hesitate to pay the reservation fee, ten times. It's really expensive, this is not a prostitution fee, but an appointment fee, and the prostitution fee is calculated by time.

Jiang Wei took a sign engraved with one word, and then followed the little brother upstairs.
