Zhao Yan returned to the inn with doubts, of course Li Xun had not returned, Liu Jing, Qian Liangcai, and Zhang Wenyuan were sitting in the lobby of the inn drinking, and there were pen, ink, paper, and inkstones on the table.

Liu Jing's face was red, obviously he had drunk a lot, but he seemed to be quite clear, he saw Zhao Yan smiled and beckoned, pointed to the piece of paper on the table and said: "Brother Zhao Xian, you can be counted as back, just now I talked about the last time you came out of the upper link on the Shenzhou Shiyun Building, but one of you thought of a lower link, you come and see." ”

The last time Zhao Yan gave Qian Liangcai the upper link was 'think about it before and after, read the left biography, and turn the book to the right', now more than a month has passed, I didn't expect a few people to remember, and each person wrote a pair of lower couplets.

Zhao Yan picked up the paper and looked at it, only to see that his own pair of upper links was written on the paper first, and then three lower links were written below.

One of them is 'sit in the north and face south, eat watermelon, and throw the skin to the east', and a character is written on the back, which should be made by Zhang Wenyuan. The second is 'stroke up and down, go through the back door, and touch forward with your hand', which is made by Liu Jing. The third is 'wintering to spring, saying summer lotus, and children ending in autumn', which is naturally made by Qian Liangcai.

Zhao Yan couldn't help laughing after reading it, if he said the best right, he would naturally take Zhang Wenyuan as the most, followed by Qian Liangcai, and finally Liu Jing, but the most interesting of them is naturally made by Liu Jing, this Liu Dagongzi is unruly, and now that he has left home, he is becoming more and more '*****.

Seeing Zhao Yan's expression, Liu Jing smiled and said to Qian Liangcai: "Brother Qian, how is it?" I said that Brother Zhao Xian is a member of my generation, otherwise how can I understand my next link. ”

Zhang Wenyuan next to him is an honest child, although he is engaged but not yet married, and has not been in contact with women, he was ignorant when he heard this, and asked blankly: "What is the meaning of Brother Liu's next link?" ”

Liu Jing smiled meaningfully: "Brother Zhang Xian, in this couplet, the most meaningful thing in this couplet is the word 'go through the back door', now that the government test is imminent, I won't talk to you today, so as not to distract you." After the government tried, the foolish brother will explain a thing or two to the virtuous brother. ”

"Brother Liu, you are a misguided child." Qian Liangcai said with a smile on the side.

The allusion to going through the back door comes from "You Ling Zhen Opera" in "Yi Jianzhi", which is related to Cai Jing, the traitor of the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhang Wenyuan has read a wide range of books, so he naturally knows it, but the 'going through the back door' in Liu Jing's words seems to have ulterior motives, but this is not something that the honest boy Zhang Wenyuan can understand.

At the end of Shen Shi, Li Xun finally came back, and at this time, there was still an hour and a half before the curfew closed the city gate, and several people just wanted to see and see, and there was no idea of staying overnight, so there was enough time.

Liu Jing led the way in front, walked out of the inn for about a quarter of an hour, and then came to a richly decorated house, the plaque at the door is 'Spring Pavilion' three big characters, although it is not night, there are already people in front of the door in twos and threes in twos and threes.

At this time, the brothels of Qinglou were also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and had their own rules.

Let's talk about the name first, the name of the Qinglou actually corresponds to its 'star' level.

The name of the first- and second-class Qinglou brothels sounds a little elegant, called 'courtyard', 'pavilion', or 'pavilion', just like the most famous 'Chunman Pavilion' in the city in front of you, most of the 'girls' in it have a skill, or can play the piano and dance, or know poetry and songs, or have a good reputation, although in fact their work is to sleep with people, but the cost is much higher than the 'girls' in the third and fourth class brothels.

The third and fourth class brothels are much more cold, called 'room', 'class', 'shop', and even 'lower place', and most of the 'girls' here are the poor and angry masters, they sell laughter day and night to pick up customers, even if they are sick and infected, they are not spared, the slightest disobedience, the light ones are beaten, scolded and punished, they are not given food, and the heavy ones are beaten and beaten badly, and then sold in the countryside.

In addition, the 'rules and precepts' in the Qinglou are basically the same, such as: one is not allowed to escape, two is not allowed to hot customers, three is not allowed to dump customers, four is not allowed to receive officialdom and kiln skins, five is not allowed to steal live, six is not allowed to hide money privately, seven is not allowed to post hot customers, and eight is not allowed to say frustrating words.

In addition to this, there are many other rules, such as not speaking before breakfast with the words dragon, tiger, dream, lamp, bridge, tower, ghost, crying, etc., if you violate these precepts, no matter how popular you are, you will be punished.

"A few sons, please come inside." A big teapot came over with a smile, and while stretching out his hand to lure Liu Jing and a few others, he asked carelessly: "I wonder if a few sons have a favorite girl?" If not, the little one will call the girls down and let a few sons pick and choose. ”

Liu Jing shook the folding fan in his hand and said, "Very good, let's call it out first." ”

The big teapot waited for a few people to sit in the hall, poured a few cups of tea for a few people, and then straightened up, and shouted loudly: "Girls, see guests." ”

After the words fell for a while, I saw a few doors open on the second floor, and the 'girls' inside came out in a row, lining up to stand in the hall.

A slightly older woman with still charm came out of nowhere, and the big teapot was quite respectful when she saw her, and bowed down and called 'Liu Erniang', presumably the bustard mother of this Spring Pavilion.

Liu Erniang twisted her waist and swung her hips to the front, although she was tightly covered, but the 'waves' on her chest were quite good, I saw her waving her hand to send the big teapot away, and then said to a few people in a greasy voice: "Yo, a few sons look at the face, it must be the first time to come to our Spring Pavilion." At this time, it is still early, and some girls have not gotten up, if these vulgar powders in front of them can't get into the eyes of a few sons, you might as well wait for a while, and the slave family will go and take down those lazy goods to a few sons. ”

"It's okay, let me pick these two virtuous brothers first." Liu Jing smiled faintly, turned his head to Zhao Yan and Zhang Wenyuan and said, "Brother Zhao Xian, Brother Zhang Xian, is there a girl you two like?" ”

Liu Jingnai is a veteran of the party, Qian Liangcai and Li Xun are not inferior, only Zhao Yan and Zhang Wenyuan are the first time to come to this Fengyue place.

Zhao Yan said that he came from a later life, and his voice was definitely much more advanced than that of this era, and he came here just to feel the atmosphere of an ancient brothel, and he never thought of leaving the 'first time', so he just smiled faintly and shook his head.

Zhang Wenyuan didn't do it, he didn't even hold the hands of such a girl, and the dozen or so girls in front of him stood there, and he was dizzy and fascinated when he saw it, and he only remembered not to look at it, not to listen to a few words, and he didn't know where to put his hand.

Seeing this, Liu Jing smiled and said, "That's it." Liu Erniang, let these vulgar fans go down, I just came here today to make the wind and the moon, just call a few girls who know how to sing poetry and sing to accompany me. So saying, he took a piece of silver out of his purse and threw it over.

As the saying goes, 'the mother loves pretty, the bustard loves money', and the bustard's mother recognizes silver. Liu Erniang took the silver and weighed it slightly, and immediately repelled the dozen or so 'low-level girls' with a smile, and then ordered someone to lead Liu Jing and a few people to a private room upstairs.

After a while, a little maid brought a few pastries and tea and wine, and Liu Erniang led five girls to the room.

"A few sons, these are all the Qing people in our Spring Pavilion, singing, dancing, playing and singing everything, poetry and songs, and please have mercy on a few sons." After Liu Erniang finished speaking, she told the girls a few words to serve a few sons well, and then turned around and walked out.

Qing people refer to the 'geisha' who only sell their art and do not sell their bodies, most of them are beautiful and refined in appearance, and they are all trained to be 'talented women' who can read, write, recite poetry and paint, so as to attract those pretentious literati and wealthy merchants, and generally stay until the time is ripe, they are either bought back at a high price for confinement, or they are sold at a high price for the 'first time' by a brothel, called 'combing' is also.

The five girls looked like the youngest was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and the oldest was only sixteen or seventeen years old, unlike those low-level girls, these Qingqi people were dressed relatively plainly, and they were not stage frightened, and after Liu Erniang left, they lined up and saluted Liu Jing and others: "I've seen a few sons." ”

Liu Jing beckoned to a Qingqi person, and while reaching out to hold her hand, he asked with a smile: "What will the girls do?" ”

The Qing man had already been 'tested for a long time', and skillfully raised his hand to stroke his hair to avoid Liu Jing's 'salty pig hand', and then said with a smile: "Childe, the little girl is a child, she can stroke the piano and blow the flute, and several sisters also know more musical instruments. ”

Liu Jing was flashed and didn't go to his heart, wanting to refuse and welcome is the norm for these fireworks women, and Liu Dagongzi has long understood the means in it.

"The cicada is poignant, the long pavilion is late, and the showers are at the beginning...... Affectionate parting since ancient times, and even more so that can be snubbed the Qingqiu Festival...... Even though there are a thousand kinds of customs, who can I talk to......"

Zhao Yan really has no interest in these glamorous sounds, and he can't taste them, and his mind is mostly on Li Xun, so he just learns from the rest of the brothers, making a look of squinting and patting his thighs.

finally finished singing a song, and when the wine was hot, the hands and feet of several party veterans were a little dishonest. Zhao Yan saw that the Qing people were full of embarrassment, and he could take care of the top but couldn't take care of the bottom, and took the opportunity to be eaten a lot of tofu by Liu Jing, Qian Liangcai, and Li Xun, although he felt pity for these girls in his heart, he could only control his own hands, but he couldn't say anything.

The Qingqi man named Li'er was touched by Liu Jing's buttocks, and secretly scolded in his heart, but he couldn't scold because of the rules, so he thought of a reason to take a few steps back and said, "Liu Gongzi, why don't we make a game." ”

"Okay, I wonder what game Miss Li'er wants to make?" Liu Jing took a sip of wine, and while reminiscing about the smooth and soft touch on Fang Cai's hand, he said: "If you only play games, it will be a little boring, and you have to add some color." ”
