Wuhua Xuan, as the name suggests, takes from the meaning of "Wuhua Tianbao", is the top place in the government-run teaching workshop, from one of the eighteen gardens of the famous Pingkang Neili in Beijing in the past, and the first generation of the host Mei Jiuniang is also a strange woman in the dust.

Later, Congliang followed Xue Jingxian, who was the first in the five long histories, and it can be regarded as a good story that is only so good as Prime Minister Zheng Yuanhe and Li Wa.

According to some wild historical anecdotes, that Liang Gong hated all kinds of off-the-beaten-path methods all his life, and strictly forbade many vices such as gambling in the army, but only for the ancient industry of Fengyue, he opened his eyes to the net, and even personally guided and formulated the regulations of the operation.

Establish some kind of one-stop industrial system that specifically serves the army, from health examination to service life, retirement placement, etc.,

Therefore, many of the outstanding women in the original Fengyue Xing have found a corresponding home, compared to the families who pay attention to family and blood, the families of noble eunuchs, and the newly rising soldiers under the command of Duke Liang, they are not so picky.

Many women with ideas were also able to get rid of the top-down exploitation and redeem themselves early, and then go to the frontier or outside the territory with their private savings, and start another period in the local area with a new identity, which can be regarded as an indirect contribution to the colonial cause of expanding the territory.

For example, the clan of the royal family of the Luodu court, the ancestor of the Li Tang court, and the first generation of the mother of Li Qi, the deputy governor of Asuka Prefecture, Qixia Niangzi, was also because of the evil of the princess of Hanzhong; And the former female officer who was exiled to Pingkang Beili.

Of course

As hundreds of large and small government and private residences in Guangzhou, among the thousands of licensed mansions and private apartments, a very small number of the top deposits, even if they have a huge amount of money, do not have the corresponding identity, and they must make an appointment in advance when they want to be happy, and they need to be guaranteed and introduced. Not to mention the direct use of the venue for private receptions.

For example, as the introducer, Shang Heng, a member of the Shang clan of the Ryukyu Domain, is responsible for leading me as a veteran of the party, so as to avoid some unnecessary embarrassment and trouble.

The lights are green, the clouds and temples are gorgeous, and the beauty of the shadow is longing, compared to the kind of swaggering and showmanship I saw around the Shang Mansion, the hidden extravagance, or the delicate elegance in the middle and lower people's homes, but it is much richer.

If you don't look carefully, you think it's the house of a big family, or the location of a wealthy family, except for some things that are circumvented in rituals, there is everything in the same luxurious style. Even the Si Ying at the door is described as neat and tidy, and his chest is high, not like a fat powder eater.

It's hard to imagine that this occupies half of the entire street, and it looks like the first place of a wealthy house, but in fact it is just a place similar to a nightclub in later generations.

Here, for the first time, I saw a different kind of nightlife in this era. The men and guests who kept bowing and greeting, eagerly and enthusiastically holding the slaves and maids placed elsewhere in the carriages and horses. It feels like a natural flow.

As soon as you enter the door, you will be greeted by the hustle and bustle and heat wave, a huge hall lit with countless blazing candles, a platform surrounded by a huge powder gauze wrapped around the railing, and the stands on the upper floors are full of tables and dishes of all colors, and around everyone sitting around, there are one or several women in bright clothes, half-open-minded, intimate and leaning close to these half-drunk, half-awake, or elated. or dancing guests.

I've never eaten pork, I've seen a pig walking, and I sighed, isn't this a nightclub hall?

The smell of sweat and fat powder filled the air, and on the stage were dancers in rows, singing and dancing lightly, raising their legs around their hands, making all kinds of wonderful and vivid gestures, and with the accompanying singing and instrumental music, they were almost drowned in the surrounding laughter and harmonies......

"This outer hall is all about ordinary people, and only the rich businessmen who are vulgar and have some spare money like to make noise."

Shang Heng explained to me

"Then it's good to go back and brag to others, and I've also entered the ...... of Wuhua Xuan"

He carefully avoided the noisy crowd in the hall, walked directly into the back of the hall, and was ushered in by Gongshen.

"The place where identity and talent are needed from the back of the hall, and you can't get in without the introduction of familiar old people......

However, it is a huge Jiangnan garden-style courtyard, the flow of the pond and water pavilion is distributed like a bead and mirror, and it is naturally divided into small courtyards, which are connected together in the corridor of the small bridge in Tongguò, and during the walk, the laughter of the silk and bamboo pipes is endless, but it is more quiet and elegant than the front, stepping on the gravel and moss marks on the path, dark and clean.

"You can charter a venue here and party all night long......"

"It's also where the high rollers who like to spend a lot of money hang out for a long time."

"The degree of sleep is more meticulous and thoughtful than any other museum."

"There are also warm beds, so many foreign wealthy businessmen. I want to get a lease and use this place as a place to stay and meet guests for a long time......"

Well, it's been upgraded to a high-end VIP private club, I complained.

Passing through these places, there is a large garden, and the small buildings hidden in the shadow of flowers and trees, the lights are bright, and the air is filled with the smell of high-grade fat powder and spices, and even the maids who carry pots and lamps are in good shape and good looks.

"This is a person with a little status, a place to attract guests and friends, and you can also sign the table sent by the guests to catch the meeting, but the price will naturally have to be doubled several times."

"Each floor has a corresponding girl and acquaintance guests, who are more or less known for their talents or skills, and the hospitality is relatively free...... It is also the most redeemed. ”

"Each building has its own style and characteristics...... From the Fusang style and Silla style in the eastern region to the Tianzhu style and Daqin style in the outer regions, and even the fashion of the Kunlun kingdoms are all ......"

He glanced at my expression before he spoke.

"And then the back, is one person occupies a small pavilion, they are the real money tree of the courtyard, you can choose your own guests, and the eldest lady of a large family has servants waiting for the place, usually come to the front to respond to the scene, want to enter their boudoir, even if you are the master of a lot of money, you may not be able to get what you want......"

"Whether it is touting or helping, they have a bit of the shadow of the minister behind them, and ordinary people don't dare to be rude......

"Legend has it that there are still a few people in the town, but if you want to meet them, it's an unavoidable thing...... They have always been very mysterious, and in fact, there are not many people who can see their faces...... It's all about having a big history."

"If we did, it would be a few months of conversation......

I responded to what I saw in front of me,

Although she is only a lowest-ranking maid, she is also quite distinctively dressed, with a half-breasted waist, which is seductive but not very exposed, and has colorful floral floral pleated skirts such as lotus, dense color, flesh color, and bright color

And with the improvement of style, and the level is gradual, but not aesthetic fatigue, obviously the details are quite careful, and even attract guests to wear quite decent home clothes skirts, which makes people feel warm at home.

I even vaguely saw things like maid outfits and cheongsam. Okay, Senior, you're really haunted.

"These waiters who can be selected during the period are also of the level of middle and upper appearance......"

Seeing that I looked at it a few more times, he said very intimately and inquisitively

"It's mainly here to help broaden your horizons...... Also some kind of new blood and alternate,"

"There are also examples of being a blockbuster in the foil......"

"It depends on whether there is a big background of the benefactor, and the ...... is touted by spending a lot of money on the wallet."

Although each building has its own characteristics, the largest of them, the Wuhua Building, was arranged as a place to entertain guests with the high economic system.

Wuhua Tower, it is said that originated from the strongest era of the Southern Zhao Kingdom in ancient times, by the king Pi Luo Pavilion to commemorate the unification of the six edicts and three small edicts, and specially built the palace.

The whole palace room is made of giant wood as the beam and pillar, the shape resembles the pagoda stacked on top of each other, towering five floors, the bottom floor hall is claimed to be able to accommodate 10,000 people to stand, the beam corners are all set up with gold and bronze statues, burn with fish fat, do not extinguish all night, the shape is like the lamp mountain, known as a great wonder on the shore of Cangshan and Erhai Lake.

Later, with the capture of the royal city by the Tang army and burned down, this magnificent Wuhua Tower, also in the flames of the self-immolation of the last lonely ministers of Nanzhao, with the short-lived name of the Nanzhao Mongolian State, in its heyday, turned into the dust of history.

It's just that Liang Gong directly named these conquered and destroyed enemy palaces for Fengyue Place, which is not another way of domineering leakage. It is said that in the past, one of the eighteen gardens in Pingkangneli, there is also a place named after the city of a thousand forts - Hongshan Palace, which is in the middle of the Luoshu River on the Tibetan Plateau.

In addition to the golden Jialu bird on the top seat of the upper floor, and the half-human and half-bird Jialing Lingjia (Miaoyin Bird) decoration that can be seen everywhere, this Wuhua Building has nothing to do with Nanzhao at all.

In the middle of the building, it is the time of the palm lamp, hanging on the large mural of the picture of the heavens and stars, those decorated with tassels, the signs with the names of the residents in the building, have been turned over by half, indicating that they have been occupied by the guests who came first.

Here, the style of the maid's clothing has also become a kind of flying style of Luo belt fluttering, short sleeves and narrow body, showing the navel and open legs, walking around with skirts and fluttering, graceful and looming, there is a kind of charm, as if entering another world described in the Dunhuang murals.

led the two of me into the vestibule, along the corridor around the shadow wall, in front of a courtyard of bright flowers, with the moisture of the waterwheel aggressively clear, the petals flew down in the wind, lined with the moss gravel,

After passing the bright lights in the front building, I suddenly felt elegant and elegant. Refreshed. In front of the main hall, two drooping girls opened the carved wooden door low, and a tactful singing voice poured out.

The song I sang made me sweat, and it was an ancient folk tune "Hair Like Snow".

Well, this traverser once again despises the malicious taste of a certain senior.
