Chapter 004: Oiran of the Past
There are more than a dozen paintings hanging on the west wall of the hall of drunken red faces, and each scroll depicts a stunning woman. Some of the scrolls look new, but some seem to be some years old.
Ordinary people come to the brothel for fun, if you want to see paintings, it is better to go to the calligraphy and painting workshop. Although the woman in the painting is beautiful, how can she compare to the pretty woman who is knowledgeable and interesting?
Qin Fei followed Cheng Xin's gaze and saw a picture scroll hanging in the northernmost position, on which was a handsome woman holding a paper fan and wearing a white dress and a red dress.
I don't know if the woman is too beautiful, or if the painter's standard is too high. The woman in the painting is lifelike, and this scroll makes people reluctant to look away.
But Qin Fei and Cheng Xin were not shocked by the stunning beauty of the woman in the painting, the two glanced at each other in surprise, and blurted out almost in unison: "It's my mother." ”
Qin Fei remembers very well that the woman who raised herself, although she had two serious burns on her face and was almost completely disfigured, he and Cheng Xin believed since childhood that when her mother was not injured on her face, she was definitely a stunning beauty. The eyes, eyebrows, lips, face shape, figure, and even the demeanor of the woman holding a paper fan in the painting are exactly the same as those of her mother.
Qin Fei's two thick black eyebrows were tightly twisted together, and he didn't know what to say for a while. My mother never told the brothers about their history, but silently raised the two brothers until they died. But suddenly saw the portrait of his adoptive mother in a brothel, how could Qin Fei accept it?
"The two officials are nervous, it must be the first time to come to us to get drunk, right? The slave family found a few beautiful and lovely daughters for the two officials to accompany them, and the officials thought it was good? ”
A sweet and greasy voice sounded beside Qin Fei. Qin Fei looked sideways, and the first thing that caught his eye was a piece of red, a fiery red, and the gorgeous red dress was worn on the bustard mother, who was already not young at that age, and it did not look funny, but it made her charm still exist.
Qin Fei smiled lightly, shook his head, and asked in a low voice, "Who is the oldest girl in your building?" Is it convenient to accompany customers? ”
The bustard's mother was mixed up from the wind and moon field, and since she entered the industry at the age of eleven, what kind of man has she never seen? It is not surprising that the two young men in front of him may like older women. In this industry, it is not uncommon for even women to disguise themselves as men to prostitute turtle slaves.
She smiled and raised her sleeves to cover her mouth, and her greasy voice sounded again: "It turns out that the two officials like this mouthful." The oldest in this building is the slave family. Twenty years ago, the slave family was also in the ...... However, the slave family has not accompanied guests for many years. ”
Seeing Qin Fei's somewhat disappointed appearance, she couldn't help but laugh: "How can you laugh if you don't say it?" Although the slave family doesn't accept guests, there is still a Ping girl in the building who can accompany the escort. ”
She was close to Qin Fei's ear, her plump red lips biting Qin Fei's earlobe and saying, "Miss Ping is knowledgeable and interesting, and officials can do whatever they want." ”
Qin Fei's ears were warm, and the itching was unbearable, and he tilted his head slightly and said, "That's her." ”
The bustard mother chuckled and said, "What about this little official? ”
"Him?" Qin Fei looked at Cheng Xin, who was still a little depressed, and said lightly: "No need, take us to Miss Ping's room together." ”
The bustard's mother was taken aback, and secretly worried about Miss Ping. Seeing that these two sturdy young men are both seventeen or eighteen, this is the time to eat the marrow and know the taste. The two dragon spirits and fierce boys tossed all night, will Miss Ping still be able to get out of bed tomorrow?
Just as he was about to open his mouth to persuade him, Qin Fei had already taken out a small piece of silver from his arms, ready to reward the bustard's mother.
Halfway through the handing of the silver, suddenly, a large hand reached out like lightning and snatched the silver away, and then, the other big hand, pinched a copper plate with two fingers in the middle of the food and stuffed it into the hand of the bustard mother.
The bustard's mother looked up in surprise, only to see Cheng Xin's painful face, and angrily reprimanded Qin Fei: "Loser, I don't know how to be arrogant if you have a little money?" Is it very small to reward a copper plate? Go to the flour booth at the intersection and buy two fritters. ”
The bustard's pupils contracted suddenly, and the crow's feet that couldn't be concealed by the fat powder at the corners of her eyes showed strong anger, and she held the copper plate with her backhand. Prostitute, no wonder it's only called a middle-aged*.
Such a poor sour goods, he couldn't afford to find two girls. Anyway, Miss Ping hasn't opened for a long time, that's it! Just let them go.
The bustard mother coldly called the turtle slave and led the two of them upstairs, the girl upstairs was laughing and playing, and there was a faint heavy gasp and ecstatic moaning from the closed room.
And in the most remote corner, a small room with a hidden door is surprisingly quiet.
The turtle slave led the two to the door and shouted, "Miss Ping, there is a guest." ”
He pushed open the door, sent Qin Feichengxin and the two in, and then closed the door with his backhand.
In the room, a woman in a light makeup and blue dress came over to greet her in a bit of a panic. As soon as she saw that it were two young men, there seemed to be a mocking look on her face, and then she disappeared without a trace. With his hands on his waist, he bowed his body to say goodbye, and beckoned Qin Fei and Cheng Xin to sit down.
"Oh my God, this brothel might as well go and grab money." Cheng Xin grabbed the menu on the table, his eyes widened, and he shouted in a stack: "A pot of wine costs two taels of silver, and a plate of melon seeds also costs one tael." You know what? I went to the vegetable market street to buy melon seeds for one or two silver, and I couldn't finish it in a year. ”
"What kind of drinks and snacks do the two officials want to order?" Miss Ping asked cautiously.
She is not young, she has not had a business for a long time, if she hadn't helped the brothel do some chores, and she and the bustard's mother were sisters who debuted at the same time, I was afraid that she would be sold by the brothel to the Biansai garrison as a camp prostitute at a low price.
"No need." Qin Fei hesitated, and hadn't figured out how to ask her.
Unexpectedly, Miss Ping had already walked to the bedside, opened the drawer, took out a bottle of honey oil from it, found a few sheep intestine sleeves and came out, sat on the edge of the bed, and asked in a low voice, "That...... Which of the two officials came first? ”
Qin Fei couldn't help but be stunned, so he simply took out a big ingot of ten taels of silver from his arms, and immediately covered Cheng Xin's mouth with his left hand, and forcibly blocked his sentence of 'ruined son' in his mouth. With his right hand, he slapped the silver on the table, and said lightly: "I ask you some questions, if you answer me, you don't need to accompany the guest, and the ten taels of silver are yours." ”
"What does Ping'er, a dusty woman, know?" Miss Ping looked at Qin Fei, who was dressed in a patrol uniform, and didn't understand his intentions, so she said cautiously.
"There are more than ten paintings hanging on the west wall of the lobby downstairs, what is the origin of those paintings?" Qin Fei asked clearly, as if the inspection was interrogating a suspect.
Miss Ping breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and walked to Qin Fei's side, and replied softly, "Those paintings are portraits of the previous Oirans of Drunken Hongyan. Although Drunken Hongyan is not the best building in the Eastern Capital, it has also been beautiful in the early years, and more than ten years ago, the reputation of the most beautiful Oiran in the Eastern Capital for four consecutive years fell on Drunken Hongyan. Therefore, the building draws the Oiran of the year every year, which is one of the signs of drunken beauty. ”
Qin Fei immediately asked: "Do you know that there is a painting in which a woman is holding a paper fan and wearing a white dress and a red dress. Who is she? ”
Miss Ping raised her head slightly, as if she was remembering something, and only after a moment did she speak: "Well, there is such a sister. I was only twelve years old at the time, and I had just come to the building. She was the Oiran of the year, and she was very famous in Drunken Hongyan. It seems to be a remnant of the Tang Kingdom, who has just been sold to a drunken red face, and before he can accept customers, he won the Oiran of the year with his stunning appearance. But after taking the Oiran, it was bought by an unknown nobleman. It's the best life in the previous Oiran, and I didn't lose my body in this filthy and filthy place. ”
Qin Fei couldn't help but glance at Cheng Xin, who was able to open a green building in the Eastern Capital, there were people behind the scenes. Like the brothel that was drunk and red at that time, it was one of the brothels in the eastern capital, and the boss behind the scenes was definitely not a small person. The Oiran is a pillar of money, and if you want to redeem the Oiran, it is impossible to be rich alone......
"What's her name?" Cheng Xin's voice was already a little trembling.
Ping'er thought hard for a while, and then replied, "At that time, we all called her Sister Tilting Moon." However, the officials also knew that the women in this place had long forgotten their names, and they used the names given in the building. ”
Qin Fei and Cheng were shocked beyond words, and their faces had changed. On the adoptive mother's household registration, it is the word 'Qin Yue' that is written. And Qin Fei's name was taken by his adoptive mother with her surname. Qin Yue, Tilting Moon...... This......
"How much more do you know about her?" Qin Fei held the piece of silver, stuffed it into Miss Ping's hand, and asked hopefully, "How much do you know, I will reward you heavily." ”
Miss Ping smiled indifferently: "If I lie to the officials, it must be difficult for the officials to tell the difference." Although Ping'er has fallen into the dust, she doesn't want to tell lies, that's all I know. It's really a bad official! ”
"Thank you, girl." Qin Fei looked at this somewhat shabby room, and said slowly, "There is a reluctant invitation below." Please also ask the girl to help. ”
Miss Ping smiled dumbly: "The official is serious, Ping'er is just a woman, what can help the official?" ”
Qin Fei said seriously: "I'll sit in this room for an hour and leave, according to the night, how much I should pay, I will pay." I'll give you another five taels of silver, and I hope the girl will spread it everywhere, so I will say that Qin Fei from the Caishi Street Branch of the Inspection Bureau came to get drunk and spend the night. The sooner the better, please, girl. ”
Ping'er's bright eyes stared at Qin Fei carefully for a long time, and said with a self-deprecating smile: "If an official wants to destroy his reputation, why should he make such a move?" ”
"It's not enough to destroy your reputation, it's too normal for men to play and have fun on the spot." Qin Fei said seriously: "After so many years in the party, I haven't seen any kind of man in Miss Ping. No matter what age they are, whether they are officials or scholars, or even peddlers and pawns, how many people have come to the brothel? It's just that the propaganda that I have been to the brothel has helped me somewhat. ”
"Since that's the case, with such a good amount of money, there's no reason why I shouldn't make it." Miss Ping smiled softly: "Then let the slave family make a pot of tea and chat with the two officials." ”
