Chapter 20

The stars are like broken silver, sprinkled all over the sky, the gates of the imperial city have been locked, the markets are closed, the night is quiet, and occasionally a few dogs bark can be heard. 【Reading.com】

Only the direction of Xicheng is the lanterns shining in the sky, the people are noisy, the end is the spring flowers and autumn moon, the night and night sheng songs, happy and happy like a fairy!

This brilliant Anzhenfang is built along the ancient bridge and river, the scenery is like a picture scroll, and it is a famous brothel gathering place in the imperial city.

Many years ago, Huangye had issued an order to seize this place, which led to a recession in business, until nearly three years, when the country and the people were safe and prosperous.

As the saying goes, food and color, sex too.

Whether it is a dignitary or a foreign business envoy, they all love to come here to look for flowers and ask willows, in addition to having a three-storey or four-storey river-viewing building, there are more hanging lanterns, a painting boat full of flowers.

They slowly drive on the mighty emerald river, and there is a song and zither music in the open-carved window lattice from time to time, and the aftermath is lingering, making people feel as if they are in the sky and the moon palace, and they are fascinated.

One of the most famous boats is the Liuli, which is three times the size of the other boats, and is three stories high, with a veil hanging down to the ground and a very enchanting light. There are more than 30 slender men with upper bodies pulling Liuli forward on the riverbank, and the momentum is extraordinary.

Every time I go to a port, there are richly dressed and wealthy guests, who board the sampan and go on the boat to buy fun, often spending a lot of money and squandering, of course, the grandfathers can also return happy.

Because here, not only can you choose women as companions, but also beautiful and colorful teenagers, all of whom have been trained to know how to please guests, can always squeeze the rich man's money bag to the point that there is not a single copper left, and make the old mother smile blindly.

It is true that these teenagers have a very nourishing life. Among them, the most beautiful Oiran boy is the sixteen-year-old Xiao Hong, he can still choose his own guests, those squires and tyrants who are full of fat intestines, can't get into his eyes at all.

The guests he received were all nobles with well-established backgrounds, or foreign envoys who could be received by the emperor.

At this moment, he sat boredly holding the vermilion railing, leaning his chin against his head, looking at the sparkling water reflected in the colorful lights, but it was difficult to see the brilliance of the stars, which was a little disappointing.

He yawned a lot, and he was very excited, and he didn't talk about posture, because he sat on the third floor of the highest painting boat, and the rest of the teenagers were downstairs to pick up customers, and the first floor was the place for tea.

Tea Wai, that is, to accompany the first-time guests to chat, during the indispensable drinking, boxing, hugging, and courtesan performances, is the most noisy place in the painting boat.

On the second floor is a private room, with a curtain that can only reveal the human figure, separated by a carved and gold-mounted wooden screen.

In the middle of the night, there are often guests with drunken faces, carrying the beautiful little man up to the second floor, and it is not until three o'clock in the morning the next day that he comes down in disheveled clothes.

However, this is commonplace in Zhenxiangfang, and no one will laugh at them. Before leaving the boat, there are child servants to help them take care of it, and the old mother will send the guests off the boat again, and there will be no neglect from beginning to end.

Xiaohong doesn't have to go downstairs to accompany him, the entire third floor is his territory, not only has a luxurious bed carved from pear blossom wood, but also a magnificent bronze mirror, a luxurious jade case, a sandalwood cabinet, and a large paulownia bathtub.

Even the old mother has to look at Xiao Hong's face to act, because several of his benefactors are big officials in the court, and they really can't afford to offend.

Tonight, the guests who have made an appointment are still coming, and Xiaohong can only listen to the excitement downstairs, but he can't arouse any interest.

He was about to fall asleep when suddenly, a black shadow swept across the river, and he was startled, and suddenly he was completely sleepy.

What people?! His round apricot eyes widened, and by the moonlight and the light, he saw that the man was not wearing a night robe, but a navy blue shirt, and there was a faint glint of jade around his waist. He was so good at his skill that he landed on the deck of the ship like a swallow, and a few thugs were guarding it, but he didn't realize that there was a man standing behind him.

The man in Tsing Yi easily entered the cabin, knowing that the guests who came here had to be introduced by an acquaintance.

Hehe, interesting. Xiao Hong smiled brightly, stretched out his hand and shook the bell on the jade table, the old mother came, and smiled flatteringly, Hong'er? What do you want?

I'm going to meet a guest. Xiao Hong said, whispering a few words in the ear of the old mother with a big gold ring.

Got this guest? Why haven't I seen it? The old mother looked puzzled.

Yes! Go get him. Xiao Hong urged repeatedly, and the old mother had no choice but to agree.

didn't think about it, the old mother went downstairs and really saw the man described by Xiao Hong at a glance. He was born tall and big, and at first glance he knew that he was a martial artist, and he was dressed in a nice silk robe, and most importantly - he was really handsome!

Sword eyebrows and black eyes, the bridge of the nose is high, and the lips are curved like bows, which is particularly sexy, even the old mother, who is used to seeing beautiful men, immediately wrinkled her old face and piled up a smile, squeezing out the prostitutes and young men who tried to talk to this young man in green shirts, and said enthusiastically, this son, but it is the first time to come? Who brought you here?

The man didn't speak, but just looked around, as if looking for someone.

The first time you come, you are inevitably afraid of life. The old mother is not afraid of his cold face, but is more positive, your companion must be looking for fun by himself, you don't look for him. I'm afraid the goods here won't be in your eyes, let's go, I'll take you to the room to make sure you're satisfied.

Going to the room? The man finally spoke, and his voice sounded as if water was dripping from a stalactite, and there was a sense of agility in the world.

Oh, yes! Where our Oiran lives. The old mother is more sure that the other party's background is not small, but she can't tell his identity, say it is a noble young master, there is no such squishy atmosphere at all, say it is a big official, it is not like it, he is really young.

Just relying on his handsome and tall appearance is enough to pass unhindered on this glazed painting boat, because Xiao Hong likes good-looking guests the most, which can please him.

The old mother thought in her heart and took the man in green shirt upstairs, but she didn't know that the man in green shirt was also muttering in his heart.

Could it be that my identity has been exposed? Jing Tingrui came on board to spy on intelligence, and he was ordered to investigate an envoy of the Garland Kingdom.

said that he came to Dayan to discuss a temporary truce, but the emperor suspected that the truce was false and that it was true to spy on the inside story of the military situation, so he asked Jing Tingrui to investigate secretly.

There is a way that heroes are sad to pass the beauty pass, and the same is true of this Jialan envoy, I heard that he especially likes to go to Liulifang and spend a good night with Oiran, so Jing Tingrui came here.

It's just that he has never been to the land of fireworks and willow lane, let alone how to drink flower wine, talk to Oiran, and the mission has to be carried out in secret, and he was thinking about how to approach Oiran when this old woman appeared in front of him with a thief smile.

Is it a coincidence? Or is the other party already showing up?

Maybe it's a tiger's den, and if you encounter an ambush here, even Jing Tingrui will find it tricky. Because there are many people here, his identity as the emperor's secret agent may be exposed, which will then affect the progress of the mission.

As he thought about this, the sound of the water rushed into his eardrums, and he raised his head, and the old mother retreated in acknowledgment, and a slender and extremely beautiful young man was sitting in a large square bathtub, smiling and making a splash
