Liu Ru is place to hold a banquet is not on the lively upstairs in front of Tianxiang Building, let alone in the Liuxiang Building where she lives, but in a five-story pavilion in the center of Tianxiang Building.

On the plaque hanging on the front of the building, the three vermilion characters of "Tianxiang Building" are written on the iron painting silver hook.

This is the real Tianxiang Building,

At this moment, Tianxiang Building is brightly lit, and the figures are longing, but it is relatively quiet, and there are not countless noises like the buildings in front, and even the sound of waves is heard from time to time.

It turns out that the girls in this building are all squirters who don't sell their bodies.

Although Tianxianglou is a green building, the real place to make money is Tianxianglou, which is concentrated.

Jinling City is extremely extravagant, and the brothels of Qinglou are not to mention, only the Qinhuai River, which stretches for more than ten miles.

The reason why Tianxianglou dominates Jinling City is not because the girls in it are beautiful and coquettish, but because the children trained by it are all proficient in chess, chess, calligraphy and painting, and are deeply loved by the upper class.

And the core competitiveness of Tianxianglou is by no means something that other Qinglou brothels can do by spending a lot of money to buy a few beautiful girls.

In addition, Tianxianglou treats Chunqi'er very preferentially, never forcing Chunqi'er to sell his body, not forcing Chunqi'er to pick up customers, and allowing redemption after reaching a certain number of years.

Therefore, Tianxianglou's Chun Er has three fates:

One is to reach the age limit, earn enough money for yourself, redeem yourself, restore your good citizenship, and freely find someone to marry.

The second is to let the man he likes spend more money to redeem them in advance. The people who ransomed their lives were basically non-staff members, scholars, and even officials. After they were ransomed, they became concubines in the side room, and it was almost impossible to become the wife and wife.

The third is that he can't resist the temptation and is willing to degenerate and sell his body. Once it was found that it was not the end of the wall, and the man who broke their body refused to redeem them, he was kicked out of the Tianxianglou building and became an ordinary Tianxianglou girl.

Ji Ning was not familiar with Tianxianglou, so Tang Xie led the way and contacted the people of Tianxianglou.

Liu Ru is banquet was held on the fifth floor of the topmost floor, Ji Ning and Tang Xie climbed all the way up, and when they reached the fifth floor, they couldn't help but gasp a little.

When he took a big breath to recover his breath, Ji Ning couldn't help but slander the ancients in his heart: It's really a shame to die and suffer a crime, the fifth floor on the top floor looks noble, but climbing up makes people tired. Isn't it nice to be on the second and third floors?

At this time, two young and pretty maids greeted her, and after Ying Ying bowed, she led Ji Ning and Tang Xie into the hall where Liu Ru set up a banquet.

In front of the entrance of the hall was a table with a maid in charge of the registration of distinguished guests.

Ji Ning didn't understand the rules of the Qinglou, and everything followed Tang Jie's actions.

I saw Tang Xie walk to the registration table, take out a silver ticket and hand it over, and said at the same time: "Ji Ning, Tang Jie." ”

The maid flipped through the roster, ticked the box, then stood up and saluted, "Welcome to Ji Gongzi and Tang Gongzi." ”

Then, she accepted Tang Jie's silver ticket.

Seeing this, Ji Ning probably understood that this was to give money.

So, he set out to take the silver taels.

However, he was immediately stopped by Tang Jie: "Brother Ji, you don't have to give it, I have already given it for you." Let's go inside. ”

With that, he pulled Ji Ning to the door of the hall.

"How does this cost you?" Ji Ning said, giving the silver two Tang explanations.

Tang Xie immediately pushed it back and said with a smile: "It's just fifty taels, it's nothing." ”

When Ji Ning was about to speak, Tang Xie interrupted him and said with a smile: "You should keep these silver taels and reward Miss Liu later." As far as I know, you haven't spent a penny on Miss Liu. People look at you so differently, don't chill the beauty's heart. ”

"Hehe, well, according to you. Thank you. "Ji Ning is not a mother-in-law, so he took Tang Xie this little favor.

There is a big gap between the rich and the poor in the Great Yong Dynasty, and fifty taels of silver is enough for three or five years for many ordinary families, but for the rich, it is just a drop in the bucket. Fifty taels of Ji Ning and Tang Xie are indeed nothing.

Tang Xie saw that Ji Ning did not refuse, regarded him as a friend, smiled happily, and pulled Ji Ning to continue walking inside.

When I entered the hall, I saw that the inside was quite spacious, at least twice as spacious as the hall I had last time in the painting boat.

In the hall, the furnishings are exquisite, luxurious and elegant.

When Ji Ning and Tang Xie came in, there were already many people in the hall first.

They either knelt down in front of the desk and drank tea and wine, or three or five people stood together and chatted and talked, and the atmosphere was relaxed and natural.

"Hey, Brother Tang is here. And Ji Gongzi! Someone with sharp eyes saw Ji Ning and Tang Xie coming in, and shouted in surprise.

When the others heard this, they turned their heads to look, and when they saw that it was Ji Ning and Tang Jie, they greeted them.

"Haha, Ji Gongzi, it's been a long time. Miss Liu wants to play a new tune, and I guess you'll come and cheer it on. ”

"Ji Gongzi, you are a metaphor for people and countries with a copper plate, and I have been thinking about it for a long time and have benefited a lot. Taught. ”

Many people greeted Ji Ning warmly.

Ji Ning didn't remember people, so he could only pretend to know and arch his hand, with a smile, and say Hello, you have been looking up for a long time and fooling the past.

After everyone dispersed, Tang Xie saw that the desk at the front was still empty, and ordinary people didn't dare to sit on it easily, so he said to Ji Ning: "Brother Ji, you go to the front and do it." ”

"No, let's just find a place to sit together." Ji Ning shook his head slightly.

He had already discovered that the seats for the banquet were not fixed in advance.

Although the seats in front of Li Liu are close to each other, you can get close to the water and get the moon first, but you are always being watched and stared at, but you are uncomfortable.

Anyway, he had already chatted directly with Liu Ru and drank and listened to music face to face, so it was not so necessary to get close to Liu Ru through a layer of gauze curtains.

Tang Xie nodded and smiled: "It's okay." It's uncomfortable to sit in front and chat. ”

So, Ji Ning and Tang Xie found two adjacent desks in the middle and sat down.

As Ji Ning and Tang Xie sat down, a young and pretty maid immediately came up to help pour tea and wine.

At this time, Zhang Linwu, who had entered Tianxiang Building with Ji Ning and Tang Jie, finally entered the hall.

When everyone saw it, many people greeted them with flattering smiles.

The son of the transfer envoy is still very flattering, especially Zhang Linwu's father, Zhang Hong, who is now in charge of Jinling City.

However, compared to Ji Ning just now, the number of people is a little less.

Zhang Linwu looked like he was good at dancing with long sleeves and spoke to the person who greeted him, and he sulked in his heart, and proudly quietly looked for Ji Ning out of the corner of his eye to see how envious Ji Ning was.

He looked at the front seat first, and found that it was empty, and he couldn't help but be proud: Hmph, you still have a little self-knowledge!

Then, he found Ji Ning, and saw that Ji Ning and Tang Xie were talking to each other sideways, not paying attention to him at all, and he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart.

After dealing with the people who came up, Zhang Linwu strode towards the front of the lower right case.

When he passed in front of Ji Ning, he couldn't help but glance at Ji Ning out of the corner of his eye, and found that Ji Ning was still chatting with Tang Jie, but he still didn't pay attention to him at all.

He couldn't help but snort coldly, and walked boringly to the front of the lower right first case and walked down.
