Chapter 24 Eat and drink well and suffer less

What is the entrance fee? Hehe, although it is not as good as Lin'an, it is also a sky-high price in this Baoying County. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoWhat's more, it's just the admission fee, and the supply of food and drinks there, needless to say, has increased more than ten times.

Meng Jiucheng pursed the corners of his mouth slightly, sighed in his heart, and did not speak, and followed Guo Chen and Chen Hong to the back building.

He has been to this place, but it was the loser who wasted his money here.

Now that I think about it, in this drunken place, it is just silver to pave the way. Every ceremony and procedure such as "ordering flower tea", "catching up", and "selling" needs to be expensive, and it can even be said that there is no boundary, and it is really a suitable place for local tyrants and pretends.

"Meng Lang, I haven't been here for a long time, I want to spoil the slave family." When paying the fee at the entrance of the back building, a girl patted Meng Jiucheng and pretended to be annoyed.

"This, Miss Qin, is rare." Meng Jiucheng still knows each other, and he can't help but be a little embarrassed if he has one leg and two legs.

But this embarrassment also disappeared quickly, because Guo Chen and Chen Hongjian were obviously also old drivers, laughing and greeting the girls they knew each other.

In this era, it is not shameful to visit brothels, on the contrary, it makes a lot of elegant things.

For example, this Oiran lady Tang cherishes it, whether it is self-raising or pretending to be high, it is not just spending money to be a guest of the curtain. People still pick it, you have to be a little literate, and your appearance should be about the same, you look crooked and cracked, vulgar, and you will pay a lot of money, and people may not receive you!

The most common thing is to make some piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and poetry difficult for guests, and it seems that they are educated, knowledgeable, and skilled, and ordinary people are not eye-catching. It's not like that ordinary goods, standing in a row, scratching their heads and posing, and taking the initiative to tease with their eyes.

When they came to the hall of the back building, there was a "big teapot" that ran errands to arrange tables for the three of them, and set up dishes and wine. Table by table, calling friends, there are always thirty or forty wronged leaders, sitting at more than a dozen tables.

"It's really—" Chen Hong gradually looked at these various people, and couldn't help but shake his head, with a look of disdain, obviously looking down on these three sects and nine streams.

Guo Chen stared at the big eyes, only looked upstairs, and muttered, "It's such a big shelf, can't you even see it?" ”

Meng Jiucheng rolled his eyes, and said in his heart, it is your appetite that hangs. Seeing that the wine and food were arranged, he gave in slightly, and ate and drank unceremoniously. This wine and food is more than ten times more expensive than the outside, and if you don't eat it for nothing, you won't eat it for nothing, and if you eat it, you will eat it for nothing.

"Brother Meng, this, Sven, want Sven." Guo Chen was originally a rough man, but at this time, he pretended to be pretentious, and when he saw Meng Jiucheng eating happily, he couldn't help but say: "Maybe that Oiran lady is watching from upstairs!" ”

Meng Jiucheng snorted and said, "What does it matter to me that she looks at her?" After a pause, he smiled evilly and teased: "How sincere is it to usher in laughter in the past?" Maybe the Oiran lady likes the honest man who doesn't pretend, or maybe she likes the man who is strong and undefeated. Brother Guo, the younger brother opened his clothes and let the Oiran lady see the strong body of the younger brother, okay? ”

Guo Chen was dumbfounded, laughed for a while, and said: "There is some truth in this, Brother Meng is at his own discretion, just wear short clothes." ”

"Hehe, it's just a joke. Brother Guo broke the bill today, brother, and help you eat some back. Besides, if you go upstairs and the beauty is beside you, I'm afraid I'm even more embarrassed to eat enough, right? Meng Jiucheng was just joking, and after eating with a good stomach, his speed gradually slowed down.

Hearing Meng Jiucheng say this, Guo Chen unconsciously ate a few more bites.

Chen Hong gradually smiled and said: "Brother Meng is true temperament, which makes Chen envious. ”

Several women were sitting by the windows upstairs, looking through the curtains, looking at the people downstairs.

"Sister, those people outside are so boring!" A young girl pouted and said, "It's a small place, there aren't many decent ones, it's a disappointment." ”

"That's it! Look at them like that! It is estimated that there is a lot of stinky money, and you have to pretend to be a reader, and you can see through it at a glance! Another woman said disdainfully: "Sister, let's hurry up and solve the problem, let them get out of the way, and end up clean." ”

"Mingdang, Rong'er, carry the qin out!" The person who was called her sister was Tang Xixi, she stood by the window and looked out, only to see all kinds of people sitting below, whether they were vulgar or elegant, they all pretended to be serious, which was really ridiculous.

"Alas!" Tang regretted disgust and disgust, but sighed again and said: "These people can come when they want to come, sit and sit when they want, they are really happy!" If we can have such freedom, what more can we ask for? It is better to laugh at them for being vulgar and scoundrels than to laugh at yourself for not having such a fate! ”

"Sister, when you take revenge, you are not free? Ay? Look at that person—" Rong'er suddenly discovered a novelty and said with a smile: "Dressed in official clothes, with a gourd on his waist, he eats and drinks like a starving ghost reincarnated." ”

The officials of the Southern Song Dynasty could also wear long robes, and the difference between them and the scholars was the color, and the crown and belt were also regulated. Therefore, Meng Jiucheng did not change his clothes after work, and he was recognized at a glance. In addition, the gourd is not big, it is not too small, it is inconvenient to eat and drink in the sleeve, and a piece is bulging in his arms, so he simply put the gourd into his waist, and the image is really quite alternative.

"This person is a Meng official, and he has a favor with my family, don't pay attention to him behind his back. Besides, no one should look good, and my father said that he was very knowledgeable. "Mingdang is Tang Xixi's new Yahuan in Baoying, but it is not the kind that sells his body, he is very good at learning, and he is also well-behaved, which makes Tang Xixi love it.

"Erudite, then I'll give it a try." Rong'er laughed and beckoned Mingdang to carry the qin and walked out.

Besides, everyone downstairs has no mind to eat and drink, and glances upstairs from time to time, just waiting for the beauty to appear. I was anxious, but I still pretended to be calm, and I didn't dare to expose my rudeness.

At this moment, the sound of soft footsteps sounded, and two women appeared at the entrance of the building with a light gauze and placed the piano on the table.

The hustle and bustle quieted down, and everyone looked at it, only to see a woman coming gracefully, although through the gauze tent, just looking at the posture, it was also itchy.

Tang Xi sat down, stroked the strings with his hand, and with a ding dong, burst down like a jade bead, and then stroked the piano like flowing water. The sound of the piano is sometimes graceful and sometimes exciting, sometimes it seems to flow down the mountain beam, and sometimes it is as simple and elegant as the bell of dusk.

Everyone present was either fascinated by the sound of the piano, or obsessed with the peerless face behind the light veil, until the sound of "ding dong" was stopped, as crisp as a drum, and the applause suddenly filled the entire hall.
