Chapter 62: Returning to the Old Business

As for the place where he temporarily lives is a brothel, Li Chen is not sure. In his impression, the brothel should not be a wooden building with several floors, and a sign will be hung on the door, saying that this place is called Yihong Courtyard, Lichun Courtyard and the like, otherwise it can be called Piaoxiang Pavilion.

Then there should be a flow of people at the door, wearing red and green to get a female "sex worker", waving a shampa to solicit guests, the fragrant breeze outside the door, the crowd inside the door, **** saw the prostitute come to the door, and stepped forward to greet him diligently, and then the bustard's mother came out, Uncle Zhang, Li Erye, you haven't been here for a long time, who misses you so much, such a greeting.

Maybe Li Chen was taught bad by those scenes in the movie, but anyway, how could it be a courtyard house that looks like an ordinary courtyard house, and it is a great courtyard house. Also, Xiaohong is a maid, so will she also become a female worker in the future?

What is the identity of the hostess she serves? Li Chen felt that there was a grip in his heart and gently teased, and he wanted to ask Xiaohong for clarification, but he was afraid of being abrupt. It is undeniable that Li Chen found that he was a little fond of Xiaohong.

This is a tsundere, but very gentle girl. Li Chen thought to himself that he was dozens of years old, and he should be about to start a family. In the home in Chang'an City, he didn't feel anything, he always felt that it was someone else's wife, another family's children, and someone else's wife. Xiaohong is the second person he seriously wants to start a family.

The first one is Wang Erniang, I don't know how she is doing? Does anyone tell a story to the second lady who loves to listen to stories?

Li Chen suddenly became sentimental, thinking that he should start a family and start a business, and there should be no hope of going back in this life. I only hope that his parents will not be sad that he is missing, as for the problem of support, his parents are in good health, he has a retired family, and he has a younger brother and a younger sister, so it should not be a problem.

As for the old lady in Chang'an, he was a little moved, during the period when he was in a coma, he could feel that she really cared about him, and he would do his filial piety for the original owner of this body. It's just that that doesn't prevent him from making a new love, right?

As for Xiaohong, she is just a maid, or even a maid of a female branch, Li Chen doesn't care about this matter, as long as she is not. As a modern person, the concept of equality has not been erased so quickly, although he has the status of a prince, but he has not had time to experience what it means to be superior.

Let's go around. It's too far away to say that other things are too far, so let's find a job first, 'Are there any temples in Xuzhou?' ''Temple? Thirteen, you have to go to Xiang'a, there are many temples in Xuzhou. Ah Xiang counted his fingers, "There are Simian Buddhist Temples on the north side of Pingshan Pass, Zhulin Temple on Camel Mountain, Baolian Temple on Pantao Mountain, Baiyun Temple on Jiuli Mountain, Zhuyu Temple on Dadong Mountain, and Baita Temple on Tongshan Mountain.... ’

'What are the mountains, what are the mountains, are there any closer?' Li Chen felt that those temples were too far away, and there was no money to donate sesame oil at present, so he could only find a closer one, hoping to go back and forth on the same day, "Yes, there is a Shengming Temple in the suburbs." ', the puppy chimed in.

Shengming Temple, out of a true silence master, in the Song Dynasty is said to be quite effective, widely received incense. The temples mentioned by Ah Xiang earlier have been passed down to modern times and have become local famous temples and tourist attractions. However, it was just a tourist attraction, and people had long since lost their faith.

The next day, after breakfast, Li Chen left Yang Er's house. Last night, he knocked on the side, and finally tried to find out that this was a brothel in the Tang Dynasty, so he was more eager to make money, start a business, and start a family.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was no wooden building with several floors high like in TV and movies, and then there were idle rooms inside, which were all places for female "sex workers" to live and where they entertained guests.

In the Tang Dynasty, brothels were not called brothels, they were usually called what they were called, each family was a courtyard house with a single family, and there were not many women in it, at most five or six, and there were also like Xiaohong who served people, and they were single-door and single-family.

Li Chen didn't have much chance to see how the prostitutes in the Tang Dynasty traded, he was very curious, how could such a small female branch entertain guests? Don't say that a small family like Yang Er's family, those with five or six staff members at the largest can not greet many people, is it so open that the Tang people don't mind a few P or something, they can go together?

Anyway, Li Chen began to observe the entertainment industry in Xuzhou, and he decided that he would continue to talk about this promising industry first, this industry doesn't need any props, just stories, which he is best at.

'Why did you come with you?' Li Chen was carrying three oil bottles behind him. When he stepped out the back door, Sanxiao followed him, and he thought that these three had been dumped by him... I didn't expect to wait for him at the back door early.

We'll show you the way. The puppy said, 'Sister Red wants us to take care of you.' Ah Xiang said confidently. Li Chen complained, I think you know, I'm going to the temple today. Li Chen regretted that he shouldn't have asked these little kids yesterday. In the end, Li Chen still took the three little ghosts and headed towards Shengming Temple.

The four of them walked out of the city gate and walked all the way to Shengming Temple. To say, Li Chen's money is gone, but the place is still there? Of course not, in fact, there is such a thing as the city gate, which is tight on the outside and loose on the inside, like Li Chen, who brought a few children out of the city, what do you need to test.

As for going back, Li Chen probably knows these days, in fact, the city gate is not so tight, if you look tired and dusty, it is obvious that you have come from afar, of course, you have to pass the inspection, like Li Chen, it looks like a person in the city, in fact, it is not necessary to test, just give some money when you clear the customs.

'It's here, hurry up, hurry up, Li Shisan, you're so slow. Xiaohu urged Li Chen to leave quickly, "Alas, I said, you kid, you don't take a certain seriously anymore." Li Chen knocked Xiaohu on the head and quickened his pace.

Shengming Temple is worthy of being a big temple, and you can see a theater in the distance.

It's almost as tall as a wooden building for more than one person in the world, if you have ever gone to see a wild stage opera, it's probably like that, what's the use? As long as you see the people cheering below, you will know it, and you will know it by listening to the name, this is the place to perform.

When you get it in the Longevity Temple, it is probably the New Year's Festival, and it is more lively, so you will set up a theater. Because it was at that time that there would be artists performing in the Longevity Temple. However, the theater in Shengming Temple is fixed, and Xuzhou is relatively prosperous and economical, which is enough to support a long-term maintenance of a theater, where artists will perform every day, and monks will also hold vulgar lectures. Of course, it will be more lively during the New Year's holidays.

Actually, it's pretty much the same. Li Chen took a look at it and found that there was nothing special, although it was very lively here, but the performance was generally similar to that seen in Changshou Temple.

'Xiaohu, do you usually go to see any other performances?' 'Watching a show?' No, don't you always come to the temple to see a show? "Yes, like some wine houses, there will be singing, there will be beautiful orchids dancing. The puppy chimed in, 'What about talking?' Has anyone been talking in the Mansion? ’。

'Well...', the puppy thought for a moment, 'It's nothing, I remember a while ago there was a restaurant that did this, and invited two to talk, but after a while there was no more. It's almost the same as in Cangfang Town, Li Chensi paid it.

Li Chen recalled that he had gained historical knowledge, Vasher, a term specifically mentioned in history textbooks, said to be an entertainment venue in the Song Dynasty, which was quite developed. As long as the history is not very bad, it should not be forgotten. Because, Chinese history, from ancient times to the Tang and Song dynasties, is also such an entertainment occasion is specially mentioned.

It seems to say that this arose in the Song Dynasty, which was quite common and extensive, and there was no one in the previous dynasty, and its great significance is enough to be particularly mentioned. It can be specially mentioned in history textbooks, which shows how much significance this has, and how much space has Qin Shi Huang written in the same text and on the same track?

When he arrived in the Tang Dynasty, he first saw that only temples had attached entertainment venues. I didn't see any special entertainment venues in Cangfang Town. One is drinking, and the second is to find someone to sing when drinking..., he didn't have that wine shop, and there were people in other wine shops who sang songs.

He didn't know if this was the norm, because Cangfang Town was too small, so there was no entertainment, except for drinking and listening to people singing, and they just occasionally marched together on the streets, otherwise they could only look forward to the temple fair. As a result, when he arrived in Xuzhou, he determined that the people of the Tang Dynasty really had no entertainment venues, except for temples, otherwise it would be the XX family.

(Okay, let's do this.) Li Chen has a plan, but it's Vashe, why wait until the Song Dynasty, let him blossom and bear fruit in the Tang Dynasty.

However, if you really want to get a wattle, I'm afraid it's not a few dollars that can be solved, if you really want to rent a shop, you have to get decoration, and if you want to get wine, I'm afraid you can't get it, although the details of how much money you have to go to actuarial calculations, but he still has no money now.

'If so-and-so also wants to speak here, who are you looking for?' Can you just take a place and start talking? Li Chen asked the little dog who seemed to be more clever, "I want to find an old monk from Shengming Temple." The puppy must have said, 'If you don't give money, you'll be driven away, and I've seen people get chased away by the pigs' heads in the temple.' ’

'Pig's head.... It's not that you don't have to say that, right? 'Once, we wanted to find various places in the neighborhood to let Ah Xiang sing and make some money, but we were driven away by the monks in the monastery, and they said, "We must pay the money first, otherwise we can't sing here." It turned out that he was really driven away.

'You say Ah Xiang sings?' Can Ah Xiang sing? Li Chen asked, "I just listened to my aunt sing a few times and learned a little." Ah Xiang said with a blushing face. Auntie, it should be Xiaohong's master.

'Okay, I got it. Li Chen clapped his hands and said, "I'm hungry, I borrowed some money from Xiaohong, let's eat something around here, and then go back after eating." ’

Li Chen made up his mind, how to make up the first pot of gold already has a belly case, just three hours busy watching the play, but he took a good turn in this Shengming Temple and found something interesting, just enough to come in handy.
