Chapter 1245: The Battle of Fans (For Reading Books and Playing the Alliance Leader)
In this era of Great Qin, China formed a real unification for the first time, and peace brought about a hundred schools of thought, three religions and nine streams, culture and economy, and agricultural science and technology were all in a state of extremely active and embryonic development.
Although the brothel industry is ancient, there are no rules at all, those who can dance and dance to entertain people with singing and dancing, those who can play silk and bamboo orchestras with piano skills, and those who can't do anything to entertain people with their appearance and body, because most of these quyuan have an official background at the beginning, most of them are official prostitutes, and their identities are slaves, and they have to rely on selling their bodies and laughing to maintain their own lives, but with the change of the situation, today's quyuan has already become a kind of folk commercial behavior, and various gardens have sprung up.
Later generations called the brothel Qinglou, which is incorrect.
Qinglou originally referred to the residence of princes and even emperors, because the building was luxurious and elegant and the beauties in it were like clouds, and later generations used metaphors to describe the luxury of brothels and the beauty of prostitutes, so the name of Qinglou, which was originally very tall, became another completely opposite term.
Historically, the formal brothel began in the Qi State, and it was the female lu set up by Guan Zhong, mainly to use the women plundered by the war to sell their hue and flesh to raise money for the country, and it was for flower donations, which meant that women were used to earn taxes, and later this kind of officially opened brothel slowly spread among the princes, and slowly formed a very large and prosperous industry.
And when it comes to brothels, the names of these women who entertain people with their voices are still different and exquisite.
Prostitution, refers to a woman who sells her body for a living, the lowest status, generally a woman who needs to make a living after marriage, because she has no professional skills and expertise, so the price is naturally very low, that is, the kind of woman who stands on the street in later generations, and only says that she will come out quickly with a cigarette, belongs to the lowest level of hooligan consumption objects such as traffickers and pawns.
Prostitutes, refers to official slaves, there are also some concubines who have been sold by large families, although they are also slaves, but they are all professionally trained women who can sing, dance, play the drums and even chant poems and paint, these are the real prostitutes, they may not sell their bodies for a living, they are good at entertaining guests with singing and dancing, but in this kind of fireworks place, facing all kinds of prostitutes, in the end, they can't escape the fate of receiving customers, because in this era when most people are still struggling for food and clothing, People who can come to a high-end place like Quyuan to spend will have some money and power, and they can't afford to offend any of them, and it is common to be committed to pleasing guests, but this kind of thing is not necessarily forced or necessary.
In fact, in Chen Xu's view, Quyuan is a bit like the entertainment industry in later generations, and the prostitutes who can sing and dance in Quyuan are called singers and dancers, and visiting Quyuan is equivalent to going to a movie theater or visiting dance halls, bars, KTV, video halls and other entertainment venues.
The high-end point is a luxury private room, and the low point is the ordinary hall, most of the consumption in these places is really to drink and listen to music and friends to talk about it, and if you are interested, you can spend a little more money and have anything, but it is not necessary, after all, the introduction fee is not cheap, so it is the same as the later generations who like to drink in bars and play games in Internet cafes.
Although Chen Xu doesn't like to visit the Qu Garden, he has been there a few times, almost all of them are with Meng Yun, sometimes Meng Yun and others arrange for domestic servants to send letters to invite Chen Xu to visit the garden, Chen Xu doesn't want to go, Shui Qing, Ying Shiyan and Meng Wan have to tactfully criticize him for not associating with friends It is rude, so Chen Xu had to go to the garden with a wry smile as a prostitute.
However, every time I go to Quyuan, Chen Xu just drinks and listens to music and dances, as for the wandering wreckage who hugs the woman he doesn't know, he has no interest, and the more than 100 concubines in the family have not been touched, and Chen Xu's power is getting bigger and bigger, and the official power is too great, drop a wine glass or frown, and immediately kneel down in the house in fright and kowtow and beg for mercy, which makes Meng Yun and others have a bad time every time, and they feel that it is boring to be tied up with him, and after a few times, no one has invited Chen Xu to visit the garden, and Chen Xu is also happy to be idle.
There are also several three or four streets and alleys across the nightless street, and you can hear the sound of singing and dancing in front of you, and from time to time you can hear the sound of enthusiastic applause and coaxing from the audience.
"Haha, it's really lively, Engong go quickly, drive~"
Yu Wuya couldn't wait to clamp the horse's belly with his legs, and the black horse under his crotch immediately galloped forward honestly, and the plate-sized horse's hooves collided with the concrete floor to make a clear and pleasant sound of kicking and stomping, and Chen Xu had no choice but to speed up and follow under the escort of a group of guards.
Although it was still daytime, the road was already jammed with traffic and horses on the post house street, and the bustling crowd almost blocked the twenty-zhang wide street, and there were countless women and prostitutes on the upper floors of the Quyuan on both sides of the fence who also lay on the railing to lead their necks to visit.
Everyone tiptoed to the end of the post house street, where there was a tall wooden platform, on which a group of women in colorful skirts were singing and dancing, but it was too far away to see clearly, and all the onlookers could only hear the warm cheers in front of them, and the scene was even more crowded.
"There are too many people, take out the token and open the way." Looking at the impassable street, Yu Wuya turned around excitedly and shouted.
The leader of the guards stretched out his hand and pulled out the Taishi Mansion token on his waist before he could speak, but Chen Xu stopped him with a horsewhip, and then said with a smile: "There are too many people, I am afraid of causing a stampede, enter from the side alley!" ”
So a group of people turned their horses' heads at the intersection of Yiguan Street and walked forward dozens of zhang, along a small alley where the servants of Quyuan usually went in and out of the errands, and some of the horsemen and servants who came in and out of the carriage and horses did not dare to stop them when they saw Chen Xu and others, and all respectfully let go to the side of the road, and only dared to set off when Chen Xu's group of people passed, and at the same time they also muttered a few words to discuss which prince was the prince of the prince's mansion, and when someone exclaimed the Marquis of Qinghe, these people remembered that the young Langjun who had just passed was Chen Xu, the marquis of Qinghe, who was the imperial master and the left minister.
"It's here!"
A group of people walked forward for half a mile, and the sound of singing, dancing and cheering through the layers of houses could be heard more clearly, Chen Xu smiled and pointed to the back door of a garden with blue bricks and black walls, and then turned over and dismounted, Wukong also jumped down and landed on Chen Xu's shoulder.
"Engong is very familiar with this post house street, is he a frequent visitor?" Yu Wuya led Wu Hu and followed Chen Xu into the courtyard.
"It's not a regular visitor, I came to the last Oiran competition, and I was afraid of misunderstanding because I watched it from the upper floor of this garden, and this Qi Garden was also the main participant in this Oiran competition, and I was familiar with the girl Wanwan......"
The backyard was very quiet, but there were still a few servants in burlap clothes who were carrying goods under the command of a man, and when they saw Chen Xu and others swaggering in, the man did not dare to stop them, so he could only salute respectfully.
"Take care of these horses, and reward you!" Chen Xu flicked his fingers, and a finger-sized yellow, orange and orange gold cake flew in front of the man.
"Huh?! Thank you, thank you Lang Jun, rest assured, these horses are definitely optimistic! The man grabbed the golden cake, nodded excitedly, and watched Chen Xu and the others leave through the arch in the backyard, and then scolded a few servants to take more than a dozen tall horses to the stables to feed some forage and water to take care of them.
"Visiting the garden with monkeys, this gentleman is so generous and strange......" A servant looked at the back of Chen Xu and the others with hot eyes.
"Hey, how can you not bring monkeys when you go to the garden, I heard that Liu Shilang of the household department takes his own fighting every time he visits the garden, and a few days ago I heard that someone is holding a fairy beast and a giant panda to help the fun...... "The steward couldn't help pouting.
"Wow, this horse is so strong!" There was a servant who went to lead the horse, and he couldn't help but exclaim when he looked at the black horse.
"Hey, really, no, no, this horse is so familiar, it seems that I have seen it somewhere?" The steward looked at it a few times and felt a little familiar, and after a while, he suddenly jumped eight feet high and exclaimed, "God, this is the black horse of the Marquis of Qinghe, could it be the Hou Ye who just went in?" ”
"It turned out to be the Marquis of Qinghe, no wonder I also looked at this horse so well, Wu Hu is the name given by the emperor, I didn't expect that we could help take care of it today......"
"Go to the silo and get some concentrate, I'll go to the supervisor, quickly close the back door, no one is allowed to enter or leave!" After arranging a few words, the steward went to find the supervisor in the backyard to report the matter.
And when the supervisor in the backyard hurriedly came to the stable to watch the black house, Chen Xu, Yu Wuya and others had already come to the front yard and entered the lobby of Yanyuan, and then climbed up the stairs to the second floor under the greeting of a few helpers.
There were still few people on the second floor, but a few rooms on the side of the street were bustling with people crowded around the windows and railings to watch the Oiran race.
"Hiss~, this little lady's figure is wonderful, weak and boneless, too seductive!"
"It's okay, it's a lot worse than the top brand Jade Bird of Liufeng Pavilion, and the body is beautiful, but it always feels too soft to jump!"
"Fart, that jade finch is full of pockmarks, and it's unappetizing to look at!"
"Enter your mother, Jade Bird is the best jumper, and my son's favorite is also the freckles on her face......"
"Where did Xiao Yeyu come from, he dared to scold the old man, do you know who the old man is......"
"Bang~"
"Oops...... The old man's nose ......"
"Hmph, since you dare to contradict this son, I don't care who you are, today, this Qi Yuan son has been covered, and no one can come!"
"The old man is the seventh rank of the household, you dare to hit the old man's nose......"
"Well, it turned out to be the Tobe Lingzan, it seems that this son is indeed ...... It's a light ......."
"Bang~" A T-shirt and trousers, a belt around the waist, a windbreaker and sunglasses The young man punched and smashed in the face of a half-pulled old man, the old man screamed and stumbled and covered his face and escaped from the crowd, just when he was about to jump and insult, he suddenly saw Yun Danfeng walking in with a light hand in the brocade robe, and there was a monkey head squatting on his shoulder, and he was suddenly frightened and quickly covered his mouth, and a pair of eyes bulged out a lot.
"Bang~" Behind the old man, the young man chased out a big foot and kicked the old man's buttocks, the old man was caught off guard, and a dog gnawed shit and pounced in front of Chen Xu.
"A mere Lingzan dares to scold this son, and he will be beaten to death next time he meets him!" The young man held his sunglasses contemptuously, then glanced at Chen Xu and turned around, but the moment he turned around, his body suddenly trembled violently, and then he slowly turned his head, and the clear grinding sound of his neck bones could be heard.
"Hou ...... Master Hou, you ...... How do you get here...... Here it is......" The young man took off his sunglasses, his face twisted like a bitter melon.
"I said who dared to beat the seven-rank official of the imperial court so boldly, it turned out to be the second son of the Changjun Hou family!" Chen Xupi looked at the young man with a smile and said.
"Don't dare, Master Hou, don't dare anymore, please spare your life!" The young man was instantly frightened and sweated down, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Chen Xu.
"The lower official household department ordered Zancao Xi to see the left minister!" The old man got up from the ground in embarrassment, and he bowed his head and didn't dare to look at Chen Xu.
