Section 22 Yuexiang Building

Zhu Jinglun's plan is one ring after another, and he does every step extremely carefully, because this matter is too difficult and must be cautious. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

And he has done every step of the intelligence work very meticulously, and he must not allow a little mistake, he has long been planning to get rid of Pa Xia Li, so he must have begun to secretly find out Pa Xia Li's movements.

He knew that Pashali was a very flamboyant person, a very arrogant person, especially in China, unabashedly showing the arrogance of an English nobleman, of course, he was not a nobleman now, but he might as well have regarded himself as an English nobleman in his heart.

He considered himself superior and despised all Chinese, but in front of the real British aristocracy, he could often maintain the posture of a senior, so the Chinese and British evaluated him extremely extremely, and even the French thought that Pashali was a polite, serious and energetic person, who was extremely important to the Anglo-French forces to maintain Guangzhou. The Chinese, on the other hand, are considered to be a rough robber who can do things like grab a merchant's braid and drag it backwards, and this kind of person certainly cannot be called civilized.

Zhu Jinglun didn't care about these, he carefully discovered a movement of Pa Xiali, and often went in and out of Guangzhou's largest green building, the Yuexiang Building in Dongdi.

After doing it for half an hour in a teahouse along the street of Xiaodongmen, I finally saw Pa Xia Li, and it seems that Pa Xia Li is going to look for a girl outside the city today.

Zhu Jinglun immediately followed.

Thousands of flower boats are moored along the east embankment, from Xiaodongmen to Dashatou, and it is the most distinctive red light district in Guangzhou, but since the Daoguang period, some flower boats have also begun to build museums and operate on land. And the more decent the green building, the more you need to have a building on the shore.

Yuexiang Lou is like this, the young bustard mother Zhao Yuexiang only moved ashore ten years ago, but it has developed very fast, in just ten years, the waves have washed the sand, she has become the largest green building outside Guangzhou.

Pa Xiali is thousands of miles away, and it is common to find women, and even officials from the Qing Dynasty often come to this place to play, not to mention the more open foreigners.

Some time ago, Zhu Jinglun was busy with other things, and he only knew that Pashali Market came to Qinglou, but he didn't know more about it, and seeing that other things were almost dealt with, he set his eyes on Pashali.

This is the third time he has followed Pa Xia Li out of the city, and Zhu Jinglun is not worried that Pa Xia Li will see him, he will really take care of his face, he even dares to say hello. Didn't you see the local officials in Guangzhou, when they visited the Qinglou, they even wore flower feathers? In the Great Qing Dynasty, it was expressly forbidden for officials to come to such places, and the law stipulated that the rod should be punished with sixty strokes, but those provisions had long been a dead letter. It is these civil officials who formulate the regulations, enforce the provisions and visit the green house, who will seriously implement them?

The officials all go shopping, and it is more normal for Zhu Jinglun to visit the Qinglou, anyway, it is all off work, who can control whom. Of course, these are all blind worries, even if they take a picture, Pashali will definitely not look at Zhu Jinglun, there is no Chinese in his eyes. So Zhu Jinglun didn't have anything to worry about, and he followed Ba Xiali generously.

Of course, if there is really a reassuring person, Zhu Jinglun will not do it himself, but unfortunately he can't completely rest assured of Lin Zhuang, at this time he misses Hou Jin even more, if Hou Jin is here, it may be more suitable to do this kind of thing than himself.

Qinglou is a filthy place, not that it is dirty here, but that the people here are complicated. From ancient times to the present, Qinglou and officialdom are the most filthy places, and there are no exceptions in ancient and modern China and abroad.

Therefore, the people gathered in this place are also three religions and nine streams, and the direction of this place is the rivers and lakes.

There are many idle people in front of the Yuexiang Building, for example, there is a fortune teller with a signboard on the left side of the gate, wearing a shabby yellow Taoist robe, pretending to be a Taoist.

Zhu Jinglun didn't have this kind of character in his eyes, he just saw Pa Xiali walk into the Yuexiang Building, just wait for a while, he will also go in, and then test which girl Pa Xiali came into contact with and what he did every day. But he was suddenly stopped by the fortune teller, or not, Zhu Jinglun was trying to be more natural, so he talked to the fortune teller.

"I look at Mr. very human! There is a heroic spirit between the eyebrows. He will soar to the sky one day. Dare to ask Mr. to give me a look. ”

The fortune teller's usual opening statement.

Zhu Jinglun smiled and wrote down a Zhu character with a pen.

The fortune teller said, "What does the gentleman want to measure?" ”

Zhu Jinglun thought for a while and said, "Test marriage!" ”

Testing marriage in front of the Qinglou is quite interesting, and he is playing.

The fortune teller also smiled and put on a make-up.

"The head of the Zhu character is a person, but there is no word, there is indeed a lack of one person in the husband's family, and he has not yet married."

Zhu Jinglun is not surprised that the fortune teller can see that he is not married, this kind of person knows how to observe words and emotions too well.

But he still raised the bar and said: "How does Mr. know that I have never been married, and when I came down here, I just fell in love with a girl in the building and wanted to ask for a roommate." ”

Jing people are square, the room refers to the concubine, when Ximen Qing buried Li Bei'er, he wanted to write about Jing women, but after being dissuaded, he wrote about the room, but he was still buried according to the rites of the wife.

The fortune teller said, "Sir is joking, Mr. did not marry a wife. ”

Zhu Jinglun curled his eyes and quipped, "Can you really literally see that I am not married?" ”

The fortune teller was not timid: "This is a heavenly opportunity!" ”

The two looked at each other, and Zhu Jinglun laughed: "I don't know if you can see it, but I can see that if you don't open it today, your stomach will starve." ”

The fortune teller's face is slender and his skin is yellow, and the most important thing is that the mechanical body in Zhu Jinglun's body is extremely sensitive to the breath of life, so that Zhu Jinglun can clearly feel that this fortune teller is extremely malnourished.

The time was almost up, and Zhu Jinglun casually threw out a piece of broken silver, which looked like one or two were insufficient.

"Take it to dinner. I'm going to see the girl next. ”

After speaking, he threw his sleeves and walked into the Qinglou, indescribably free and easy.

He didn't know that the fortune teller was staring at him behind his back for a long time.

There are many rules for green houses, and the more high-end green houses are, the more so, and the same is true in ancient and modern times.

When I entered the door, there was a person wearing a brocade dress and jade clothes, but he looked cheap, nodded and bowed, and greeted the prince with cheap words written on his face.

If you want to see the top girl in a high-end green building like Yuexiang Building, you really have to pass five levels and kill six generals.

First of all, you have to go step by step, which are divided into "front door", "promotion", "ascending", "entering the palace", "sitting" and "making love", all of which are indispensable. As long as you are willing to spend money, you can see the girl as soon as possible, but the red card girl can't be saved, this is the identity.

This "front door" is to welcome the public in, and then grind with you, and introduce you to the girls and benefits in the building, you have to take care of these Guigong first, and they will take you further; To take care of the procedures of returning to the public, it is called Dachawei in the north, and the Qinglou in the south is also called Dashuiwei, which means to give a few tea money to the public. The next step of upgrading generally refers to going upstairs, Yuexiang Building is really a building, and there is no building is another arrangement. You can't enter the lobby when you go upstairs, you still have to do it, and you can enter some compartments when you get it, this is the hall, and you can listen to the ordinary girls playing the piano and singing in the lobby to pass the time.

Jin Xuan is really entering the boudoir of the red girl, at this time the girl will invite you to sit down, or play the piano and sing music, or talk about poetry and love, and the conversation is almost over. You also like the girl, call it love, at this time the girl will pour you tea, don't think that this is for you to drink, you have to put silver on the tea tray, called plate money.

This set of procedures go down, the red girl does not have a dozen taels of silver can not be taken down, as for the top girl, I am afraid that a hundred taels may not be able to please move, compared to the prices of this era and the income of the people in this era, it is really high consumption here, the ancients said that the gold cave is honest and does not deceive me.

Zhu Jinglun has not yet reached the last step, it's not that he is reluctant to spend money, on the contrary, he has already thrown out three taels of silver, which is nothing, but it is just in the lobby, listening to Gui Gong's "front door" story, it is quite generous. The reason why he is not in a hurry is because he is not suitable to go to the girl at this time, once he is in front of the girl, then whether you sleep or not, whether you spend the night or not. You don't sleep with a girl, and you don't stay overnight, but you just ask questions and ask questions, it's strange if others don't suspect it, the people in the Qinglou are all good at observing words and feelings, and it is a place where the three religions and nine streams gather, so the news will leak out if you can't guarantee it.

Therefore, Zhu Jinglun patiently asked Guigong to tell him the rules and stories of the Qinglou, and listened to the girl behind the gauze tent sing a song and drank a few bowls of tea in the lobby.

But the first two times I drank the stories I should have heard and the tea I should have drunk, and if this time it was still like this, it would not be normal. Don't think that there are many people in the Qinglou, no one knows Zhu Jinglun, the people here are very good, and those who have met can't keep remembering it, not to mention that Zhu Jinglun has already come twice. So the acting is enough, this time Zhu Jinglun had to go to the last step and meet the red girl of Yuexianglou.

Guigong didn't recognize Zhu Jinglun this time, and pulled him enthusiastically, wanting to introduce him to the girl from Yuexianglou, that is, he wanted Zhu Jinglun to play tea.

"Three jumpers, do you have eyesight?"

Guigong didn't recognize Zhu Jinglun, but Zhu Jinglun pointed it out.

The three jumps are not a good name, and they will not have a good name when they return to the public, the so-called three jumps are the meaning of one bounce and three jumps.

Sandianzi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly patted his head: "Oh, master, don't be surprised, my pig brain is so busy that I forgot the real guest." Deserve to be punished, deserve to be punished! ”

As he spoke, he slapped two mouths hard in his face.

Zhu Jinglun has been here before, he has been in the tea party, according to the rules, he should go to the next trip to say hello, unless Zhu Jinglun himself is unwilling.

"Out of the way, I can see the girls today, right?"

Zhu Jinglun said with a smile.

Sandianzi said: "Zhu Gongzi, what are you talking about, you are a distinguished guest, even if you are not free, the small one has to give you Zhang Luo Perfection." ”

I was still calling the master just now, and I changed my mouth to Zhu Gongzi, and in a short time, I remembered who Zhu Jinglun was, and it was really a human spirit, and the pair of eyes that I practiced in the Qinglou were indeed not bad, which was also the reason why Zhu Jinglun was cautious.

Sandianzi said again: "I don't know which girl Zhu Gongzi met?" The eight girls are waiting for you today! ”

Four red and four emeralds are the eight top girls of Yuexiang Building, and they are extremely valuable!

Zhu Jinglun was not in a hurry, pretended to think for a while, and shook his head and couldn't make up his mind.

Then he asked casually: "I just saw that the foreigner in the yamen also came here, I don't know what kind of girl this foreigner likes?" ”

"You mean the ghost, right?"

Gui Gong showed a look of disdain.

Even the return of the Qinglou looked down on foreigners at this time. There are not a few people in Guangzhou who know Pa Xia Li, and there are not a few people who call him Ba Ghost, and even Bai Gui wrote a letter to a friend, he also called Ba Xia Li by Ba Ghost. This era is still an era of arrogance in which Chinese pretend that "either I am a barbarian".

Zhu Jinglun smiled: "That's right, it's the devil in the yamen!" Do you know him? ”

Zhu Jinglun was interested in hearing more news from Gui Gong's mouth.

I saw justice: "That baba, I don't have much knowledge, I like old girls!" This will be, in Miss Moqin's room. ”
