……

Chen Xu has been in Xianyang for almost half a year, but he is definitely not familiar with Xianyang.

In addition to the Xianyang Palace, Zhangtai Palace, Imperial Palace, Chaoyi Hall and the more famous places inside and outside the city, I don't know much about other Quyuan miscellaneous houses, foot shop stations, and even basically don't go out shopping, because Daqin's commercial operation is almost zero, in addition to the four farmers' markets in the east, west, north and south, there are only some common shops in the city that deal in grain and cloth pottery, bamboo and woodware, salt and iron knives, and even these shops are all black and messy, and the bright shops of later generations are completely different, Therefore, most people do not buy anything and never go to the store.

The farmers' market is rich in content, chickens, ducks, pigs, dogs, cattle, sheep, horses, vegetables, and grains, but the people inside are noisy and messy, and the smell of sewage is terrible.

For a top noble at the level of a marquis like Chen Xu, he will not go to the market.

And what does the Qinghe Marquis Mansion want now, even if it is not in Li Simengyi's mansion, he has it in his family, it is all rewarded by the emperor, and seven or eight cars will always be sent every month, don't pay it back.

But also because of Chen Xu's arrival, now Xianyang has a high-end and fun place, that is, Qinghe Garden, in addition to the Qinghe Hotel ordinary people can't afford to spend, most of the people in Qinghe Theater can still buy tickets to watch the play, and the Qinghe store is open on the side of the road, the goods inside are neatly placed and dazzling, from toothpaste and toothbrush to tea and jade, Qinghe wine and exquisite porcelain are available, ordinary people can still go in and see even if they can't afford it, and the clerk will definitely not look down on people. On the contrary, a group of little ladies in uniform will greet each other with sweet words and smiles, so Qinghe store has become a place where people from all walks of life like to visit, and after shopping, you can also go to the opposite Liuxiang Garden to watch people bow and fight dogs, so today's Xianyang, the street where Qinghe Garden is located has become the most lively place.

The model of Qinghe store is also being imitated by many merchants, so there are many neat and spacious shops in Xianyang City, and the retail model of the booth in later generations has slowly emerged.

Zongshan Courtyard, is a leisure palace of the emperor, just in the west of the city, covers an area of 500 acres, there are small hills, ponds, gardens and pavilions, although there is a big difference with the Jiangnan garden of later generations, but now in early summer, it is also lush and flowery, butterflies and dragonflies are flying, and the fish and shrimp are frolicking in the winding water, so many concubines and princesses like to come here to play.

Because the Zongshan Palace is an imperial property, it is under the jurisdiction of the Shaofu, and it is generally only allowed to enter the royal family, so the management is very strict, and the imposing gate is guarded by soldiers for twelve hours, and the towering bluestone walls around it are patrolled by forbidden troops on horses at least every half an hour, so the common people generally do not get too close to this area.

But there is a street called Post House Street next to Zongshan Villa, which has several large post houses, these post houses are different from the foot house, they are officially built and managed, belong to the Pawn Mansion, and are the reception halls used by the Qin State to entertain the vassal states, and now the vassal states are trampled to death by the Qin State, and these post houses have lost their effect, and some businessmen who have a relationship with the background will take them down and operate them, and they will be changed to Quyuan Cool House, and the women who play the piano and sing and dance to help the fun are also the beauties and everyone collected from the six countries. Among them, there are not the children of the princes and grandsons who were implicated after the death of the country, and were relegated to slavery to sing and laugh here for a living, because of the identity problem, so the level of these Quyuan Liangsha is also much more noble than elsewhere, so it also attracts a large number of Qin officials to come here to play and entertain, and the people who gather are all characters with heads and faces and identities, so this street is also more lively every day, and the lights are bright at night, and the sound of singing and dancing is endless all night, so Xianyang people privately call this post house street the night street.

On this day, a four-bridled carriage came to this nightless street surrounded by a group of guards, and suddenly provoked the people who were mixed in the street to stop and watch, and the people in the buildings on both sides were soon also alarmed, and many beautiful women in cool clothes appeared in front of the window on the second floor, leaning on the window to see, waving handkerchiefs one by one and excited.

These women used to be noble, but now they have been reduced to slavery and lost their freedom, and they can only rely on singing and laughing to make a living, and they must be strictly monitored.

And although this street has a relatively high status in the Xianyang Quyuan miscellaneous house, ordinary people can't and dare not come to play and consume, but they are also some low-level officials who come on weekdays, for the princes and princesses, their own wives and concubines are in groups, and there are singers and dancers and many young and beautiful servants, naturally they disdain to come to this kind of place to play, so it is difficult to see a nobleman who comes in a four-bridle carriage here.

And these women also hope that one day they can be looked at by a prince and princess-level noble, and then buy a concubine at home, although the status is still low, but it is much better than serving all kinds of men here all day long.

Therefore, the arrival of this carriage soon provoked the women of the whole street to go crazy, and the gates and windows on the second floor on both sides of the street were crowded with all kinds of women, all of whom looked at the carriage with their eyes.

"Master Hou, we're here!"

The carriage stopped, and the accompanying guards hurriedly drew the curtain, and after a while, a young man in a brocade robe, sixteen or seventeen years old, with red lips and white teeth, and his hair neatly combed behind his head, stood in the middle of the street and looked at both sides after getting out of the car.

"Ah, isn't this the Marquis of Qinghe?" There was a scream of extreme excitement from the window on the second floor.

"It's Hou Ye, it's Hou Ye, it's really Qinghe Hou!" In an instant, more women recognized the young Hou Ye, who is now famous all over the world, and they covered their mouths and chests with red faces and began to wave vigorously.

At this time, several men in exquisite clothes hurriedly crowded over from all around, and under the obstruction of the guards, their faces were excited, and they rushed to salute.

"Master Hou, come to my Qi Garden to play, our Qi Garden is a gentle little lady in the land of Wu Yue, and she is the best at singing and dancing."

"Master Hou, come to my Chu Garden to play, our Chu Garden is all talented and beautiful little ladies in Chu Land......"

"Master Hou, come to my Wei Garden, the mountains and rivers of Wei are beautiful, and the dancers are all carefully selected, not only can sing and dance, but also serve men......"

"Master Hou, come to Hanyuan ......"

"Master Hou, Yan Yuan, the little lady of Yan Yuan can ...... anything"

Chen Xu: ......

The brothel street really lives up to its name, and the posture of these turtle men pimping is no less than that of the old bustard on the bank of the Qinhuai River, and they are very enthusiastic!

However, Chen Xu was not interested in these pimped turtles, so he turned his head and quickly looked at the Quyuan mansions on the street called Qi Chu, Han Yan, Zhao Wei and other names side by side, and finally chose a pavilion called Yinyue Pavilion, and walked in under the escort of several tiger-backed guards.

"Alas~~" Seeing that the enthusiasm was lost, the group of men who had just come up all returned to their own territory with a depressed expression, and the women waving handkerchiefs all over the street also turned around with disappointed faces, but many of them were still lying by the window looking at the door of the Silver Moon Pavilion, with a look of hope in their eyes.

After Chen Xu walked into the Silver Moon Pavilion, a group of beautiful women with warblers and swallows and flowers immediately rushed up.

These women are excited and their faces are red, some are young girls who are only fifteen or sixteen years old, some are young women in their twenties, and some look more than thirty, but their bodies are plump and white-skinned and beautiful, like peaches, they are middle-aged who still have charm, all of them are cool and thin, with large areas of snow-white skin exposed, and you can vaguely see the full snow mounds.

"Old bustard...... Well, your stewards are available? Chen Xu asked with a smile.

"Master Hou, the steward has gone out, and the villain is in charge here!" A middle-aged man in his thirties scolded and drove a group of women away, and then walked up and respectfully clasped his fists and saluted, his face still excited.

Yinyue Pavilion has a small reputation on this sleepless street, and the officials who come every day do not have much power in Xianyang, but today, the Qinghe Marquis who is famous in Xianyang and even the whole world actually chose Yinyue Pavilion, this honor is not unprosperous, maybe after today, Yinyue Pavilion will also soar.

"I heard that you have a singer named Wanwan here, who can be called a double masterpiece of singing and dancing, I want to come and see it, I don't know if I can arrange it!" Chen Xu nodded and said.

"Can I ~" The acting steward quickly nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice.

Singing and dancing are all boasting of this kind of thing, each hall will promote the little lady of their own hall in order to attract more dignitaries to come to play, and the real singing and dancing double has long been bought by the prince and princess to be a concubine in the house, how can it be the turn to stay here to make a living by laughing, but despite this, each building still has its own top brand, but the quality is slightly worse than a little two or three points.

Therefore, the steward was a little worried, I don't know if the Hou Ye will set the fire to the Yinyue Pavilion in anger when he sees the singing and dancing, and the bride of the Marquis of Qinghe almost the entire Xianyang City knows that she is definitely a great beauty who is beautiful and fragrant.

"Okay, arrange a quiet room for me, and bring Wanwan to see Ben Hou!"

"Yes, yes, Master Hou, please upstairs!" The steward hurriedly nodded and led the way, and under the escort of several guards, Chen Xu followed him to the second floor and entered a spacious and quiet room.

The room is quite luxurious, the coffee table table and chairs, the screen and the couch, the piano and flute are neatly placed, and there are a few pots of green plants and flowers in the corner, the furnishings are somewhat similar to the Qinghe Hotel, which is obviously learned from the Qinghe Garden.

Please Chen Xu sat down, a few guards guarded outside the door, the steward arranged for the maid to serve tea and hurried away, and soon brought over a woman dressed in a colorful group, about twenty years old, the figure is slightly weak, and the appearance is not pretty, very ordinary, but the makeup is neat and looks beautiful, and after seeing Chen Xu, he bowed down with a trace of apprehension and anxiety.
