Fuguifang in the east of Chengdu is a place with good scenery. Although the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info Song Dynasty has broken the restrictions of the fang market and knocked down the fang wall, many places have retained the name of the fang in the Tang Dynasty. The place where the mansions in the east of the city gather is the famous Fuguifang in the Tang Dynasty. During the Tang Dynasty, most of the people who lived here were either rich or expensive. Nowadays, although Fuguifang has lost the glory of the Tang Dynasty, the rich people of Chengdu, especially those merchants of the Great Song Dynasty who made their fortunes from business, like to come here to settle down and get a touch of wealth and nobility.

Lu Wende, the deputy envoy of Sichuan, has a house here, and Lu Wende came to Chengdu to live here.

Of course he knew who Li Xiang was, his brother, Lu Wenxin, the squire of the military department, had already sent a message to him, so he might as well win over this Tanhualang Li Xiang, it would definitely be of great use in the future.

What kind of person is Lu Wende, he naturally knows that a talent like Li Xiang is rare, if he can take him under his command, it will naturally be better, even if he can't, he has to be an ally, fortunately they have a common enemy, right minister Ding Daquan.

Lü Wende was a martial artist, and he was most disgusted with those literati and scholars, but Li Xiang was an exception, because Li Xiang invented artillery and rocket artillery for the Song army.

Therefore, as soon as Li Xiang arrived in Chengdu, Lu Wende sent people to closely monitor the movements of Li Xiang and Li Kang's father and son.

Knowing that Li Xiang entered the small courtyard of Yuya, the top girl of Huamanlou, and it took a long time to come out, this Lord Lu Wende laughed, he thought that there was no literati who didn't like Qinglou, but he didn't expect that this Li Tanhua was no exception.

As soon as Li Xiang returned to the official residence, he received an invitation from Lu Wende, and Lu Wende actually invited him to Huamanlou. Li Xiang didn't know what this deputy envoy meant, but he couldn't help but go, because the deputy envoy was the second-in-command of Sichuan.

Night fell, and the mirror-like moon hung in the sky, casting the light of flowing water on the earth.

The flowers were all upstairs, and Li Xiang and Lu Wende were chatting and laughing. At this moment, they are accompanied by the red girl Yuya, who is full of flowers on the floor.

Miss Yuya is wearing a light green dress today, with a purple duck hairpin obliquely in the flowing cloud bun, a thin silver tassel hanging down, and a silver butterfly hairpin in front of her forehead. Yuya girl has a gentle temperament, and her skin is like snow, her eyes are like water, and the corners of her mouth are smiling, which is more approachable. When everyone spoke, she didn't interject a sentence or two, and the atmosphere of everyone chatting was quite good.

Huamanlou is a green building, one of the four buildings in Chengdu Fengyuejie.

Speaking of the Qinglou, everyone's first impression is probably the picture in the film and television dramas of later generations: as soon as you enter the prostitute of the Qinglou, the building is full of pigeon-cage-like rooms, and the prostitutes enter the courtyard, and the old bustard howls: "The girls upstairs, come out to meet the guests!" Then a bunch of warblers and swallows poured out, and the noisy people were dizzy.

Li Xiang's impression of Qinglou also stayed in the Qinglou in film and television dramas. However, after coming, Li Xiang found that Hua Manlou was completely different from the Qinglou in his impression. After Lu Wende's explanation, Li Xiang realized that his impression and understanding of Qinglou was wrong, and he had a certain understanding of the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty in later legends.

It turned out that later generations talked about famous prostitutes in Qinglou, and they all thought that if they were crowned with a prostitute, they must be engaged in the leather and meat business. But I don't know that in this era, prostitutes and prostitutes are not separated, and they can both be called prostitutes, but their actions are very different. "A pair of jade arms and thousands of pillows, half a little red lips and ten thousand people" is a prostitute, and you are a prostitute, not a person, and the quality is much higher.

It is difficult to become popular purely by color, and it is difficult to become popular if they are in the skin and meat business, and although the real celebrities are entertaining people with color and do not serve pillow seats, it does not prevent them from gaining a high reputation. Because their fame depends on their own elegant conversation, communication skills, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, singing and dancing and other means to show their talent and wisdom, rather than just relying on the means of collapsing the wind to earn fame.

Prostitutes can't make much money just by doing the skin and meat business, but these famous prostitutes are not, most of them rely on their talents and communication skills, and they often get high remuneration among high-ranking officials and nobles.

Because when dignitaries, wealthy gentry and wealthy businessmen socialize, many things are not discussed at home, or it is inconvenient for people to see them in private, so they have to come to the Qinglou. Drinking tea and listening to music to relax, friends get together to negotiate business, such occasions have become the best place for official occasions, shopping malls, collusion, and communication.

And in this process, they may be familiar with each other, or they may be unfamiliar, maybe some things are inconvenient to say directly, or some things are inconvenient to put forward conditions in person, at this time, there must be a long-sleeved person who is good at dancing and dancing from all sides, from which to thread the needle, communicate and coordinate, alleviate contradictions, and promote political alliances and shopping mall cooperation. This person is naturally the famous and sociable prostitute of the Qinglou.

And the real means of making money for the famous prostitutes in Qinglou is to use their interpersonal relationships and anxious conversations to thread the needle for high-ranking officials, nobles, gentry and wealthy businessmen, and promote their cooperation, and get paid. And the really famous prostitutes in Qinglou, most of the people they receive are either rich or noble, these people have a very high status and cultural quality, and there is no shortage of beautiful wives and concubines at home. Not so hungry that you become a hungry ghost. There are countless beautiful wives and concubines in the family, and they want to go to the brothel to spend money. When they come to the Qinglou, most of them are drinking tea and listening to music to relax, or friends get together to negotiate business, and they leave after drinking, basically nothing to do.

The second-class prostitutes also mostly walked out of their own homes of scattered and miscellaneous dramas. A feast for the rich and powerful. There will be such a woman who is invited to bring musical instruments. Such a woman also has a skill in silk and bamboo orchestra and beautiful singing and dancing. As for those who accompany the romance and earn the capital of the head, it will be the next level, their benefactor group is the most extensive, but the income is also limited.

Li Xiang also realized that the famous prostitutes in Qinglou were all such women, and he couldn't help but have a great change in his impression of them. And Hua Manlou was able to be located in the four buildings of Chengdu Fengyue Realm, and achieved such a great reputation, and the girls in the building naturally relied on their talents and wisdom in dealing with people, rather than just relying on their faces and skin and meat business.

Of course, Miss Yuya was also shocked by Li Xiang's appearance, she didn't expect to meet Li Gongzi again, and he came with Master Lu, it seems that Lord Lu is very unusual to Li Gongzi, she can now be sure that Li Xiang is definitely not an ordinary person.

And Li Xiang didn't expect to meet Miss Yuya to accompany her, it seems that this Lu Wende is a prepared person! But he won't be confused by Yuya's beauty, because Li Xiang has two little beauties in his own family, although he is young and not as charming as Yuya's girl, but Li Xiang prefers the green Xue'er and Yu'er's Lori sister paper.

With Miss Yuya's threading and witty words, Li Xiang and Lu Wende quickly became acquainted with each other, and they talked and laughed. (To be continued.) )
