Ji Qingwen saw that his attitude had taken a 180-degree turn, and his heart was already proud, but he pretended to be humble and replied: "Speaking of which, I can be regarded as neighbors with you, and below, Ji Qingwen ......"

"Oh, oh!" Gu Gong exclaimed, "It turns out that you are Lord Weaving Admiral Ji!" The proprietress of the small shop has to visit the adults several times, but the adults are busy with official business, so that the proprietress has pounced several times, and she is still sullen at this time! ”

Ji Qingwen nodded and said, "Didn't I come to visit you?" Unfortunately, I didn't have enough money with me, so I had to turn around and go back. ”

The turtle man hurriedly laughed and said: "My lord, this is a pastime for me, with my identity and face, it is more than sixty taels, oh no, it is more valuable than six hundred taels or six thousand taels of silver, how dare the little one stop your big driver?" ”

As he spoke, the turtle boy tore off a towel hanging on the one in the room, dusted off Ji Qingwen's clothes, and shouted loudly into the door: "Hey! Weaving Admiral Ji is here! ”

When Ji Qingwen heard him shouting so loudly, he couldn't help frowning and said, "You kid is a little quiet, don't you know that according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, officials who solicit prostitutes will be punished?" ”

The turtle replied nonchalantly, "Your Excellency is really upright. What kind of world is this, Zhang Jiangling's old minister (Zhang Juzheng) is dead, and Lord Qingtianhai (Hai Rui) is also dead, so there are still people to take care of this little matter of officials? If you don't believe it, please go in and take a look, some of them are eunuchs. ”

When Ji Qingwen heard this, he walked into this "Qianyun Tower" suspiciously.

This Qianyun Tower is built with a unique cave.

It is not like other courtyards, which are extremely luxurious as soon as you enter the door, but when you enter the gate, it is a rather elaborate garden - surrounded by green trees, ponds and flowing water, and one or two hundred goldfish in the water.

A covered bridge was erected over the pond, and there were a few swingers on the bridge, holding a few prostitutes with heavy makeup in their arms, throwing feed and feeding the fish into the pond for fun.

Xiao Duozi had just come to this paradise-like Suzhou from Xi'an, a bitter cold land in the northwest, who had ever seen such a scene, his face suddenly swelled red, and he said to Ji Qingwen: "Young master, heaven is nothing more than that!" To be able to see the view here, you made me die now, and I deserve it. ”

Ji Qingwen smiled: "You can't be out of the way?" Anyway, it's also my follower, don't make such a fuss, okay? Look at the merits of others, isn't it much calmer than you? ”

Saying that, Ji Qingwen turned his head to look at Huang Degong's face, but saw that his pair of cowbell-like eyes were round and big, and his mouth was equally round and big, and he couldn't say half a sentence.

Such a demeanor has nothing to do with the word "calm".

So Ji Qingwen coughed twice and said, "Okay, don't look at it, you all stuff your eyeballs into my eye sockets, and when you enter the building carefully, your eyeballs can be seen to fall out."

So under the leadership of the turtle prince, everyone passed through the rainbow bridge erected on the pond and entered the atrium of the "Qianyun Tower".

This "Qianyun Building" is a three-storey building, entering the atrium is a three-storey patio with a straight air, the ground is paved with good bluestone, and a circle of tables, chairs and benches with a very delicate shape is placed by the window, which is no different from an ordinary restaurant.

And on these tables and chairs, there were already full of friends, Ji Qingwen looked at it, and sure enough, as the turtle prince said-there are really many dignitaries and dignitaries in Suzhou City-but after all, this is the place of fireworks and willow lane, and it is a little embarrassing to say hello, so Ji Qingwen can only pretend to be deaf and dumb, and find a secluded chair to sit down.

I also saw that in front of the gate, a rather large stage was set up, which should be used for performances, singing, and cross talk to make customers happy on weekdays. Behind the stage is a large wooden staircase that leads to the upper two floors of the Warm Fragrance Pavilion. The second and third floors of the pavilion have no more tricks, only a circle of rooms have been built, but the doors are all closed, and you can't see the subtlety, presumably it is where the people who seek pleasure and prostitutes are upside down.

Ji Qingwen thought that since it was a brothel in the Qinglou, it should naturally be kitsch and charming, but the curtain and tent used in this "Qianyun Building" are all in pure colors such as azure and sea blue, and the hanging banner paintings are also handwritten by famous artists, and the style is very elegant.

Ji Qingwen was observing left and right, up and down, inside and out, but the turtle boy greeted him more than a dozen times and asked, "Lord Ji, it's almost noon, do you want to order a few refreshing side dishes unique to the small shop?" How many more girls will come over to accompany you? ”

Ji Qingwen's eyes narrowed, and he asked, "Looking at the furnishings of your store, you know that the wine and food and the girl are not cheap." How? I don't have any money with me today, aren't you afraid that I will pay for it? ”

Turtle Gong hurriedly laughed and said, "Lord Ji is joking with the little one again." Lord Ji is so rich, how can he owe us money for eating? Even if you owe it, it is a small shop to honor your old man. ”

As he spoke, the turtle boy beat a thousand children and went down.

After a while, the turtle man held a plate, served seven or eight kinds of hot and cold side dishes, set up a whole table in front of Ji Qingwen, and invited three prostitutes with heavy makeup to sit down next to Ji Qingwen, Huang Degong, and Xiao Duozi.

Ji Qingwen saw that although these prostitutes were dressed very carefully, they had a bad appearance, and they still couldn't get rid of the temperament of vulgar fans, not to mention Zhou Xiuying of the White Lotus Sect, Shen Shenbi of the Suzhou Chamber of Commerce, and Liu Ruyi, who was dressed as a woman, even compared to Ji Qingwen's concubine Xing'er, it was quite insufficient.

So Ji Qingwen waved his hand and repelled a prostitute who came to accompany him.

I saw that she had lost the opportunity to make the famous Suzhou weaving admiral set, and an expression of loss and disappointment suddenly appeared on her face, and she walked away with lazy steps.

But Ji Qingwen's little duozi and Huang Degong couldn't withstand such temptation, and they had already talked and laughed with the prostitutes around them, especially Huang Degong, who had already forgotten his old mother's teachings to the clouds, and his mouth, which was originally extremely clumsy, suddenly became clever.

Ji Qingwen didn't care about them, seeing that although this "Qianyun Building" was well decorated and the food was quite delicious, there was nothing too attractive, so he picked up the chopsticks and picked up the vegetables to eat, thinking that he would hurry up to dinner, and then he would go back to the yamen to continue to do business.

Unexpectedly, someone in the atrium shouted: "Hey, what's delicious about this wine and food?" Why don't you ask Miss Liu Ru to come out and sing a song to everyone. She wants to show up, no matter how much money she has, I can afford it! ”

As soon as Ji Qingwen heard the words "Liu Ru is", he suddenly came to his senses, stretched out his hand and beckoned the turtle who was waiting on the side, and asked in a low voice, "What?" Liu Ru is a girl, and she is also in your store? ”

The turtle man smiled a little proudly: "It turns out that the adults don't know yet!" Miss Liu originally lived on the edge of the Qinhuai River in Nanjing. But in recent months, she said that she had lived there for a long time, and she was too sullen, and she wanted to change places and come to Suzhou to live. No, the proprietress loves Miss Liu, so she bought this dilapidated restaurant a month ago, renovated it, and let Miss Liu live in it......"

Ji Qingwen said: "Your boss lady is also generous, Liu Ru is girl can spend so much money to build another brothel in Suzhou." ”

"Not really!" Gui Gong replied, "The famous prostitute in Nanjing City is known as Qin Huai Bayan. Liu Ru is girl is also the leader in this 'Bayan', and only the new Chen Yuanyuan girl can compete with her. How many rich children in Nanjing City have emptied the gold and silver mountains, and they can't get it if they want to listen to Miss Liu sing a song alone! ”

Ji Qingwen smiled: "I see. However, I have a few encounters with Miss Liu, and the girl helped me a little at the beginning. Can you arrange it, I want to thank Miss Liu Ru in person. ”

With a smile on his face, Gu Gong said, "I'm not afraid that Lord Ji will blame me for not being able to speak." Eight out of ten guests here said that they were related to Miss Liu. If the villains are arranged one by one, they must not be arranged to go to the Year of the Monkey and the Horse Month? You'd better rest first......"

Ji Qingwen was very unkind when he heard what he said, raised his hand and slapped the table, and scolded: "You, you tell me clearly, what do you mean by this?" If I'm not happy about it, believe it or not, I'll send troops to tear down your place! ”
