Chapter 45: Oiran
Li Guanqi continued, "Feng Yuhua, you have done a good job in this matter. How's the other thing going? ”
"Your Majesty, rest assured." He Ziming said in a deep voice: "The minister has already asked people to keep an eye on Imperial Doctor Hu around the clock, and there is no problem." ”
"Well, be careful." As they spoke, the crowd came to the place where the horses were hidden. Li Guanqi said again: "We are out of the palace today, and we are going to Meixianglou again, and we will change our titles from now on." Don't call me anymore, no, don't call me the emperor anymore, just call me, just call me son. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." The crowd replied in unison.
"Wrong, do it all over again." Li Guanqi said angrily.
"Yes, Childe."
"That's right, get on the horse, the target - Meixianglou."
Although the weather was very bad, the light from the lanterns hanging at the entrance of Mei Xiang Lou was still as attractive as usual. The three big characters of "Meixianglou" on the lantern are even more eye-catching against the background of the dark night. This is the most famous brothel by the Qinhuai River and the entire Jingshi.
It is said that the girls of Meixianglou are all elegant and detached, with literary talents, tonal rhythm, poetry and painting, and can be said to be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. And the girl of Meixianglou is different from other families, although she is a woman in Qinglou, she has a lot of style, beautiful and moving, so it attracts the celebrities of the Beijing Division, and they flock to it. Even the officials who were forbidden by the imperial court to set foot in Fengyue were proud to be able to stay in Meixiang Building.
When Li Guanqi and his entourage arrived at Meixianglou, it was already the end of the year and the beginning of the year, and it was the most lively time of the day in Meixianglou.
There is still a stone's throw away from Meixianglou, and there is a sharp-eyed turtle Gong who saw Li Guanqi and others angry and freshly dressed, and his bearing was extraordinary, and he had already stepped forward, and said with a flattering smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, today is the birthday of the top brand of our Meixianglou, the top brand Oiran with smoke, and the banquet is being celebrated inside." The girl with the smoke sings the song herself. ”
Li Guanqi couldn't help laughing and said: "Your TMD eyes are quite poisonous, how do you know that we are going to your Meixianglou?" ”
"I can't explain it to you." The turtle man stepped forward, grabbed Li Guanqi's horse's head, and said, "Every line has its own doorway. Dissatisfied with the son, you said, doing what we do, it is this eyesight. Otherwise, wouldn't you be going to drink the northwest wind, do you say? ”
"You're a thief." Li Guanqi turned over and dismounted, and said, "Lead the way in front of the head." ”
"Okay." The turtle replied loudly. Turning around, he opened his throat and shouted, "The distinguished guest has arrived, and the one inside is welcome." ”
This is the first time Li Guanqi has entered the Qinglou in his previous life and this life, and when he entered the door, he saw a large hall, elegantly furnished, exquisite tables and chairs, not at all like Li Guanqi imagined. At this time, the hall was full, but it was not noisy, and everyone was quietly listening to a soft female voice singing: "Spring tour, apricot blossoms blow all over the head." Who is young? Foot Merry. The concubine intends to marry and rest for the rest of her life. Even if you are ruthlessly abandoned, you can't be ashamed! ”
Li Guanqi stopped, savored the sweet throat for a while, and then looked up along the singing, and saw that on the corridor on the second floor, a beautiful woman in a lotus-colored dress was half-leaning on the railing, showing her singing voice.
Li Guanqi has not seen beautiful women, every palace maid in the palace can be called beautiful, but he is still attracted by the beauty of the woman in front of him. The title of the Oiran of Mei Xianglou is really not in vain, her beauty is different from beauty in the general sense, the beauty of others can be seen and touched at a glance, and her beauty makes people a little confused how to describe it. It can be said that every man has the desire to rush forward and push her down when he sees her, but no man will bear to do so. Because she has a soul-grabbing beauty at the same time, she also has a fairy-like elegance, which makes it difficult to look up.
Li Guanqi is not a saint, he is also a normal man, and when he sees a beautiful woman, his eyes are straight, so he stays in place for a while......
Yun Niang, the owner of Meixiang Building, noticed Li Guanqi from the moment he stepped into the hall. This graceful proprietress is only thirty years old, but she has been in the Fengyue field for more than ten years, and you can see at a glance whether the guests are noble or not. She saw that the dozen or so young people around Li Guanqi were all powerful people, but all of them seemed to protect Li Guanqi, as if they were afraid that he would make a mistake, so she knew that Li Guanqi's identity must be extraordinary.
Yun Niang stepped forward with a spring breeze on her face, gave a deep gift to Li Guanqi, and said with a smile: "The distinguished guest is coming, and it is a long way to welcome." Please take a seat here. As he spoke, he led Li Guanqi into a private room separated by a screen in the corner of the living room. He Ziming glanced at the guards, and everyone understood, and mixed into the crowd in twos and threes, while He Ziming followed Li Guanqi into the private room inch by inch.
Yun Niang personally poured tea for Li Guanqi and asked, "Childe wants to come here for cigarette combing today?" ”
He Ziming didn't know what combing was, but Li Guanqi understood the euphemism that this was the first time a girl in the Qinglou picked up a guest and stayed overnight when he was in high school, and asked in surprise: "Is the girl with smoke still a virgin?" Of course he has reason to be surprised, the first prostitute in Jingshi is actually a virgin, who is not surprised?
Yun Niang saw Li Guanqi's surprised appearance, and said with a smile: "Isn't Childe a local?" But the accent doesn't sound like he's from out of town. It's just that I've never been to this Qinhuai River. ”
Li Guanqi Yunniang said this, and felt even more confused, and when she looked back and saw that He Ziming was also at a loss, she knew that he didn't know, so she had to say honestly: "It's really the first time I've come, but I don't know how you know?" "His time as emperor is not short, and he has developed the habit of not using honorific titles for others, so he only calls Yun Niang by your words.
Yun Niang is a delicate person, and seeing this situation, she affirmed the dignity of Li Guanqi's identity, so she patiently explained: "The son didn't know anything about our Meixianglou. Our Meixianglou is different from other houses, in our place, all girls under the age of eighteen are Qingqi'er, and only when they are eighteen years old will they stay overnight. Today is the eighteenth birthday of the girl with cigarettes, and it is also the day she combs up. ”
"I see." Li Guanqi couldn't help but nodded, it seems that this Meixiang Building can become the number one Qinglou in Beijing, and it is really a little different from others. After thinking about it, Li Guanqi asked again: "I, it's really different from other families, but I still don't understand it a little. ”
"Childe, please speak."
"With so many people here today, what conditions do you use to choose those who comb and smoke?" Li Guanqi asked the question in his heart. He is also very hot to the smoking girl, there are many reasons for a man to fall in love with a woman, but first of all, the first reason must be because of the woman's appearance, this is a normal reaction of a normal man, as the saying goes, love at first sight, at a glance, feelings are born, in addition to appearance, what else can it be? Could it be that you can still know the other person's past and present lives just by looking at them? Are you a god when you are a god?
