Chapter 7 The most famous green building in Pingkangfang
The morning light slowly kicked off, and the fresh air rushed in with the light of the early sun.
Gu Yuanxi paced back and forth in the courtyard early in the morning. Although this was the third day of his arrival in the Tang Dynasty, he was still very confused and at a loss.
In fact, when ordinary people arrive in a strange place and have never set foot in a strange place, most of them will inevitably feel lonely, and the mood of traveling from one time to another is not comparable to the transformation of space. He has not yet developed a sense of belonging to this era.
He was thinking about the poetry competition all morning, and he thought of an incident in history: during the Tianbao period, Tang Xuanzong once begged the world's scholars that as long as they were proficient in one art, they could go to Chang'an for alternatives. Because Li Linfu was worried that some scholars would accuse him of his treacherous behavior in countermeasures, he suggested that the county magistrates should first select the scholars, and send the outstanding ones to Beijing for re-examination by Shangshu Province. In the end, the scholars who were sent to Beijing were tested for poetry, fu, and theory, but none of them passed. Li Linfu congratulated Xuanzong, saying that there were no more talents left in the people. This is the so-called "wild and unsparing" conspiracy in history. Du Fu, Yuan Jie and a number of well-educated people participated in the Beijing examination in this subject, and because of the traitorous ministers' manipulation, they were given a cold reception, and the door to enter the official was blocked, and Li Linfu's power has risen to a higher level.
"It's just that this Beijing test is actually combined with the Poetry Competition." Gu Yuanxi was depressed, could it be that history had changed because of himself? Will Du Fu and others embark on a completely different path from history because of this? The thought of this gave him a headache.
"Gu San." Gu Yuanxi was pondering, when he heard someone shouting, he couldn't help but be shocked, and turned around in surprise. But I found that a few Chinese boys and brothers came to each other, talking and laughing, looking very happy.
"Is that you?" Gu Yuanxi was surprised. He knew these people, Gu Yuanxi's fox friends and dog friends in the past, and it was these buddies who encouraged him to participate in the poetry competition.
"Gu San, why haven't I seen you for the past few days. Our brother was afraid that something would happen to you, so he came to your house to look for you. It was a big fat man who spoke, and the fat on his face kept shaking as he spoke, which made him a little funny.
"Fat four. Why did you come to my house early in the morning and make a noise? Gu Yuanxi recognized that this fat boy was the fourth son of the crown prince Zhongyun Pei Chunqing, and his uncle was Pei Yaoqing, the famous minister of the Kaiyuan Dynasty. His surname is Pei Minghui, and he ranks fourth in the family, so he is called "Pei Si", but because he is extremely obese, a group of them call him "Fat Si". ”
"And you, what are you doing here?" Gu Yuanxi's eyes swept over, and when he saw that this group of fox friends and dog friends who encouraged him to sign up for the poetry competition were gathered here, he couldn't help but feel a little angry.
In addition to Pei Si, the others are Li Qi, Yuan Zhen, Huo Ru, and Changsun Yuan, these people are either the sons of officials, or they are from wealthy merchant families, and like Gu Yuanxi in the past, they are all well-known sons of gentlemen in Chang'an.
"I said Gu San, why haven't I seen you with this attitude for a few days." Pei Si said with a displeased face: "Say." Have you forgotten our old love when you have a new love? ”
"Poof~" Gu Yuanxi only felt that a stream of hot blood was about to erupt from his chest, and he said angrily: "I'm a pure master, not a, don't say this kind of thing to me." ”
Pei Si said disapprehantly: "I heard that there is a new beauty in Pingkangfang Miaoyu Building. People who have seen her say that she is the best in heaven and earth. No, the brothers asked you to go over and appreciate it together. ”
Gu Yuanxi was speechless, and said in his heart: "Isn't it just a new **, is it worth so much trouble?" He coughed lightly a few times, and Zhengse said, "Brothers, we are all people with status. You are either the sons of officials, or you are rich families. Our every move represents the image of the young generation in Chang'an, how can we indulge in these Qinglou restaurants like those ordinary people? My generation is young, and it is right that we should read more sages and strive to serve the country. For a vulgar Qinglou woman, you are rushing to go like a wild bee and a butterfly, aren't you worthy of shame? ”
Pei Si and the others were dumbfounded when they heard this, and looked at him with unbelievable eyes. After a long time, there was a burst of laughter.
"I said Gu San, you don't have to pretend like this. We don't know who you are? Pei Si smiled and stepped forward to hold his shoulder and said, "Dude knows that you fought with a man in Wanhualou for a girl a few days ago, but you were swept out of the house, and you can't get over your face, so you said this." What does reading the books of the sages and serving the country have to do with you? ”
A few people next to him also walked up, their eyes glowing with golden light, and they sneered: "How is it, Third Young Master Gu, are you interested?" ”
Gu Yuanxi was about to speak, but Pei Si had already pulled him out of the door by holding his shoulders.
"Ugh." Gu Yuanxi wailed while being pulled: "Go to the vulgar Qinglou land in broad daylight." It's really a bad world, bad morals~ bad morals~ Hey, remember to bring more money and call a few more girls~"

The Tang Dynasty's "Pingkangli" is located in Danfeng Street, Chang'an City, Tang Dynasty, which is the place where brothels gather, also known as "Pingkangfang". Because the place is close to the north gate, it is also called "North Li". Pingkangfang is located in the fifth square of the third street of the eastern district, adjacent to Dongshi in the east, adjacent to Chongrenfang across Chunming Avenue in the north, and Xuanyangfang in the south. And the Shangshu Provincial Government Office is located in the east of the imperial city, so the nearby Zhufang has become a gathering place for the people, the election and the officials of the state and county in Beijing and the people from all over the country who enter Beijing. Therefore, it is conceivable that Pingkangfang has become a gathering place for prostitutes.
According to the second volume of "Kaiyuan Tianbao Relics": "Chang'an has Pingkangfang, ** where he lives, Kyoto is rare, and he is gathered here. At the time, people called this workshop a merry Yazawa. "So Pingkangfang is the first red light district in China. There are countless Qinlou Yan Pavilions and wine shops in the Fang; Within the four gates, there are red candles shining high, singing and dancing. Countless dignitaries, princes and grandsons, and children of rich families are all up all night in the Qinglou to have fun. The mansion of Li Linfu, the most powerful Duke of Jin and the right minister and the left servant of Shangshu, is also located in Pingkangfang.
"This is the Mandarin Duck Building, the Red Apricot Building, the Drunken Flower Building, and the Hundred Flowers Building; That's the Spring Breeze Pavilion, the Fengming Pavilion, and the Qunfang Pavilion; That is the Xiaoxiang Pavilion and the Flower Pavilion; This is Piaoxiang-in, Baili-in; And this, this is the red sleeve trick with Lin Chunyuan. Gu Yuanxi and a few people strode into the workshop, pointing at each building and courtyard. Although it was morning, the road was still full of traffic, and the lights were bright and green, and there was a drunken gold fan.
"Pei Si, where are you guys talking about Miaoyulou?" Although Gu Yuanxi's predecessor was a frequent visitor to Pingkangfang, the current Gu Yuanxi came to this era for the first time to visit the kiln and had no experience.
"Huh?" Pei Si was surprised for a while, and asked blankly: "I said Third Brother Gu, you don't come to Pingkangfang on weekdays, why don't you even know where Miaoyulou is?" ”
"I think the third brother wants to pretend to be a pure man in front of the girls." Li Qi next to him laughed lewdly.
Gu Yuanxi was speechless. Although Gu Yuanxi used to visit the kiln often, Gu Yuanxi couldn't find these memories in his mind at all, and he didn't know if the memories of these kilns were automatically mosaic. So the current Gu Yuanxi is indeed inexperienced, and he is completely a "junior brother".
Pei Si laughed a few times, waved his hand at a pavilion in the distance and said, "Do you see the tallest and most gorgeous building?" That is Miaoyu Tower, the most famous green building in the imperial capital. ”
Looking in the direction of Pei Sizhi, there is a magnificent pavilion in the distance, about six stories high, with colorful flags fluttering everywhere and lanterns blooming. In fact, judging from the height of the pavilion, the six-storey green building is also unique in the world.
"Yo. Isn't this Pei Gongzi and Li Gongzi, you are here. As soon as he arrived at the door of the building, the extremely enthusiastic ** waved a cloth towel, and his body swayed left and right to come to Gu Yuanxi and the others and said with a loud laugh.
Pei Si smiled and touched the buttocks of the ** and said, "Isn't this Sister Lin, you want to kill me." ”
"Ouch, my brother Pei, why haven't you come to see my sister for so long. My sister wants you to die. Sister Lin replied with a smile.
"Dare to love these two people, are they old friends?" Gu Yuanxi followed the triumphant Pei Si and the others into the Miaoyu Building. At a glance, the building was full of warblers and Yanyan and the guests were playing, and Bai Huahua's chest and thighs dazzled Gu Yuanxi.
Miaoyu Building has six floors, and there are private rooms above the third floor. As soon as a few people walked up to the second floor, they suddenly saw white jade bricks covering the entire hall. In the middle of the hall was a five-foot stage, on which several young orchids were writhing and dancing, dressed in robes, the lightest fabric of silk, whose skin was as beautiful as white jade. They danced the Western Regions Hu Dance, dancing gracefully, with affection, and the dancers frequently watched the autumn waves to the audience, which made people feel emotional.
"Ugh." Gu Yuanxi sighed: "You people in the city really know how to play." He looked at the song and dance, and when he looked back, he found that Pei Si and the others were already hugging each other, and the gaze in his eyes was indescribably obscene.
"Lewd!" He raised his middle finger, and deeply despised these fox friends countless times in his heart, and then took a breath, his eyes suddenly spurted out the same brilliance as Pei Si and the others, and laughed in a trembling voice: "Beauty~ Little sisters, you Gu Third Brother and I will come~"
