In the midst of music, a high-ranking pet in a gorgeous costume appeared, and there was no longer the kind of distress and anxiety that I had seen in the Military Supervision Hall, hidden under confidence and calmness, and his face was filled with a smile and enthusiasm that made people feel like a spring breeze.

He followed up with some kind of testimonial, announcing some news on the spot.

Including the imperial court has judged that his handling of the port city is appropriate, not only to curb the deterioration of the situation, but also to save many soldiers and civilians, which can be called meritorious.

The corresponding person who sued him also received all kinds of substantive or disguised punishments, and someone had to bear the responsibility of changing generals in battle and delaying military aircraft.

But even if it is the mistake of the imperial court, it is impossible to let him go back to Anyuan Prefecture, so I don't have to worry about returning to the hot and humid battlefield quagmire for a while.

His next place will be the local counterinsurgency of the Dongdan Road General Association, which is a beautiful shortcoming, especially for a veteran like him with rich experience and achievements, it can also be said that the dynasty has a compromise for him and the people behind him in disguise.

Therefore, the guests present are specially selected, except for a few friends who are usually good friends, or colleagues and cronies, most of the remaining guests have contributed or helped, so they have received some kind of reward, or hope to be able to become a foil under his entourage.

However, I was also in the tenth place in a group of congratulatory guests, and a few words of thanks and friendship were enough to focus on a lot of admiration and amazement, as well as some inexplicable envy and jealousy.

As for his promise to ask me to take my subordinates with me, at least to recommend it to the envoy of the army or the deputy envoy of defense, it is better to regard it as some kind of politeness and temptation.

It's one thing to be able to help get married, and it's another thing to make up your mind to switch to the family.

However, it was Du Ciza, who I met by chance at the banquet, who vaguely revealed to me the news that the new appointment, which was delayed because of the right and wrong involved in the chaos in Hong Kong City, would also have some results.

"Maybe we'll have a chance to meet......

He finally left this puzzling sentence and walked away in greeting.

At this time, the music suddenly changed, and the silk curtain was provoked by the silver branch wrapped around the peony, and then a group of women came in, which made people's eyes shine. The first thing I saw was the wide skirt embroidered with flowers and birds that swayed in the wind, and the snow-white and greasy calves hidden in it.

The accessories are all really expensive goods, not cheap silk goods or gold and silver decorations, but from the head flower to the sesame oil, each detail of the dress has been deliberately pondered and exquisite, carefully looking at the same style, put it on everyone, and have a different feeling, there will be no aesthetic fatigue. After the seats were assigned to each table according to the brand, each person had a maid on call to wait outside the door.

These women are delicate and well-trained, every step and every action, are so pleasing to the eye, and talk properly, well-informed, can always influence the source of the topic and enthusiasm, maintain not cold, chant lightly and smile at the end, follow the guests' temperament and mood, just the right amount of lubrication and adjust the atmosphere, coquettish and happy, even if you are redivided, but also quickly get acquainted with each other, as if many years of old friends. Even if you are depressed and depressed, you will be comforted by the gentle words of your mother and sister, which is quite a sense of chicken soup for the soul.

Whether it is a more fragrant and charming cup chest, or a relatively light poetry singing, harmony singing, or pure playful Caopu leaf opera chess and cards, there are people who can accompany them, even if they are drunk, some people are sent home, or arrange a quiet room to rest.

Relying on the soft body, to accompany this night, it is probably necessary to pay in advance for a month's food and clothing of a medium-sized family, not counting the tips such as those ornaments, although no matter how much is given. They will all accept it with a smile and a groan, and even if they don't give it, they won't give the guests a face, but in most cases, out of the man's nature to compare with female creatures, he is afraid that he will give more.

And then if you spend the night, you have to pay more extra, most of the time. New faces will be introduced to the sisters in the building or the outer courtyard, and a family Fangze must first spend enough effort to cultivate the mood and atmosphere to become a regular customer. In this case, youth and beauty have become a secondary factor for the public, and only those with good temperament and more skills are worth more money.

Although I know that it is a means of acting on the spot, I really can't feel evil, and I feel that I am well-behaved and caring, and the cost is worth it.

"Actually, most people don't stay overnight......"

As my exclusive escort today, Shang Heng gently pushed away the woman who was almost attached to him, and explained a few times, but the other party didn't show how angry. He smiled and walked to the side of the wine stove, but he was just too far to speak, obviously he was a regular customer here.

"Why ......"

I humbly asked.

"Because they are mainly here for social purposes, and the purposes are many and complex...... Some of the young people mainly come to see the world's families, and the people who come and go here are of all colors, from Zhu Zi Gongqing, literati and scholars, celebrities and celebrities, down to high-rollers in the rivers and lakes, and incognito strangers...... I've been mixed for a long time, and I can have a long experience...

"This is also a good place to inquire about the news, and some Shangguan likes it on weekdays. Some private anecdotes of adults, the movements of officialdom, and the deliberations of the DPRK and China can all be heard here......"

He took a sip of light wine and continued

"Of course, if you want to get something more definite, you need to look at the means and capital of each party...... If you don't have money, you just need to be handsome, some girls like this tune, and some men who are good at it also rely on this ...... to eat."

Well, I nodded slightly. In the relaxed and hearty entertainment, people's vigilance and mental defense will also be minimized, at this time something leaked out, only God knows, and is not afraid of people to trace the source, there is also a great demand for the market.

Of course, because of the evolution and prosperity of a certain society, it is said that there are very few such things as forced prostitutes in the slightly more upscale courts.

No matter why, no matter what era there will never be a shortage of poor people who sell their children and daughters, and there is no shortage of women who hope to change the senior environment.

It took decades for New China to eliminate prostitutes, and then immediately after the reform and opening up, with the inertia of lust and lust, there was a resurgence of the ashes, and a group of feminists who were poisoned by the West created more new varieties of strange things under the guise of physical and mental liberation, which is just a little bit of human nature in the so-called spiral and tortuous development of society

Not to mention the thriving feudal slave business in the Southern Dynasties, so as long as the price is very small, you can obtain sufficient sources, and you can't afford to risk being raised and sued for a small profit, causing greater loss of money and reputation.

Moreover, those women belong to property that can be appreciated, and the loss of value caused by killing and maiming will never be done. And those guys who have been training women for many years have their own means, and they will never leave long-term hidden dangers and obvious injuries to damage the potential value of the commodity.

But on the other hand, these practitioners use the coercion and temptation of the treatment of all kinds of fine clothes and food and the reality contrast of spiritual materials to carry out the gradual transformation of the warm boiled frog, so that these women who have entered the industry gradually fall into the various vain and prosperous atmosphere created by the short-term youth and beauty and cannot extricate themselves.

When they woke up, they were already disgusted by the old people and had to disappear gloomily, and poverty and illness were their most common fate. In this kind of place, it's hard to tell their true and false feelings

However, having said that, I was a little surprised, why did he talk to me so much, but suddenly remembered the Shang family's mansions and maintained private apartments all over the city, or what he was hinting at, but suddenly it became clear, it seems that the Shang family, the nouveau riche in the sea domain, is not so simple.

In the city of Guangfu, Shang has always played the role of a broker of some kind of upper social class, a provider of private places, and perhaps an intermediary in the exchange and sale of information on similar occasions.

Could it be that I am now qualified to be part of the range of potential customers they are looking for?

"I don't know if there are any martial arts sellers."

I took a few more sips and said half-drunk

"Yes, but most of them are scattered awards below the rank of general, and there are those generals, other generals, and captains."

He replied without hesitation

"The problem is that the best sellers are still the cloud knights, although the grade is lower, the name is good, and they can stay in Beijing."

Suddenly said something to the woman next to him, and invited an aunt to whisper twice.

"These people say that some people have been saying recently that they can get errands for people to get the Counselor's Office."

"Counsellor's House."

I was speechless, and thought of another thing, could it be that the identity I encountered on the street before came to be.

"What the hell is it......"

"I'm not sure yet......"

"Do you really believe in luck......

"It's just an ancestral precept that has been handed down丨"

"Let us prepare for this possibility for generations to ......"

"There are luck and chances, and there are many different characters from childhood, ......"

"But only he came back from the north, not ......"

Above the pavilion, an inconspicuous small window temporarily serves as a kind of observation platform, a finely crafted clairvoyant mirror, following the every move of a certain figure, and then reverting to a kind of synchronous conversation with lip descriptions.
