Eight alleys have been known since ancient times, and they are Baishun Stone City in Shaanxi.

Hanjiatan is full of string songs, and Wang Guangxie Street is brightly lit.

The front of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple is full of cars, and the two camps are vertical and horizontal.

How much do you know about the mink Qiu high rollers, and the clusters of rouge slopes go up.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, in the large and small alleys south of the Dashilar business district outside the front gate of the old Beijing city, there were hundreds of brothels of different sizes and different heights, up to the "Qingyin small class" where officials and dignitaries, literati and ink writers lingered, down to the "kilns" that the peddlers and pawns and the general public could also enjoy, plus there was the largest Qianmenwai railway station in the country, and there were many passengers coming and going from the south to the north, and it inadvertently developed here to become the world's first Fengyue place. And because most of the first-class and second-class brothels in this fireworks land are concentrated in the eight alleys north of Xizhu Shikou Street and south of Tieshu Xiejie, there is a resounding title of "Eight Hutongs" here, and the opening section contains these eight alleys: Baishun Hutong, Rouge Hutong, Hanjiatan, Shaanxi Lane, Stone Hutong, Wang Guangfu Xiejie, Zhujia Hutong, and Li Shamao Hutong.

Of course, at this time, the Bada Hutong has long been out of the low-level stage of purely selling meat to make a living, and the opera gardens, teahouses, and restaurants inside and outside the Eight Hutongs echo with the high-end green buildings such as "Qingyin Xiaoban" and "Tea Room", forming a good place for dignitaries and dignitaries, literati and scholars to make friends and meet guests to talk with each other. In particular, he had to drag the public in the yamen to do things, and he didn't invite people to visit the Bada Hutong, and he was really not kind to speak. Talking about business in the Qinglou is also a scene of this era.

"Big news, Suncheon Times big news!"

"Hunan General Tang Qianming declared independence!"

"Zhang Huaizhi is the general of Jiwu, supervising the military affairs of Shandong!"

"Sir, sir, buy this young lady a flower!"

………

At the end of May of the fifth year of the Republic of China, the lanterns were on, and the Shaanxi alley at the head of the eight alleys was crowded with people, tourists, flowers, and bright lights, and the male newsboys in shabby clothes and the little girls who bought flowers shuttled through the crowd and shouted hard.

"Doodoo"

The 1915 red Dodge carefully separated the crowd and squirmed forward, and from time to time a newsboy leaned up and asked cautiously, "Sir, have a newspaper!" The latest Suncheon Times, only five cents. ”

"Sorry, I've already bought it." Whenever this happens, Tang Zhidao, who is sitting in the front passenger seat, will be sorry to raise the newspaper he has bought in his hand, and the newspaper song in later generations makes him feel a sense of kinship every time he sees the newsboy.

"It's here, it's here, you go first, I'll be there later!" Just as Tang Zhidao was bored and looked around, Zeng Lu parked the car at the mouth of a small alley on the side of the road.

"Adjutant Lei, please!" Tang Zhidao jumped out of the car and opened the door of the rear compartment, and a middle-aged man with a big belly staggered down. Chen Congyi opened the car door by himself and walked down from the other side.

"Brother Ruoshui, you are too polite!" Looking up, the three gilded characters of "Xianlin Pavilion" were shining under the illumination of the lights, Lei Bingkun's face was immediately full of smiles, and he patted Tang Zhidao's shoulder enthusiastically and said, "Brother yourself, why are you so formal." ”

It is said that when he was the section chief of the Ordnance Department, Adjutant Lei was also a frequent visitor here, and he could name many girls, and after he was transferred to the Military Justice Department, he could only go to the second-level "tea room".

The Qinglou Annexes inside and outside the entire Bada Hutong can be divided into four levels according to the elegance of the decoration and the talent and quality of the women. "Qing Yin small class" is the first of the four levels, such fireworks women are good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, chanting poems against each other, their autumn waves are bright, and the smile is deep, which often makes celebrities and gentry, powerful and rich businessmen flock to it. The "tea room" is a second-class dust gathering place next to the small class, and the tea room is also a more noble weathering place, and the interior decoration, carving and dyeing are quite exquisite. The warbler Yanyan of this level in the tea room, who is good at painting and singing, although not as high as the quality of the small class artist, is still young and beautiful, literate and artistic. The "lower place" of the third class does not have the beauty of the first two buildings, the interior decoration is simple, and the fireworks woman is relatively older and has an average appearance. As for the most inferior, commonly known as the "kiln", the house is extremely simple, and there is no Qing Yin small class or the tea room in the inner room often have the case, the eight immortal tables and all kinds of cylinder bottle paintings, generally only the simple table to spread the kang, and most of the people who come are porters, turners and coolies. …,

Xianlin Pavilion is a very famous "Qingyin small class" in Shaanxi Lane and even the entire Bada Hutong, and the famous champion lady Sai Jinhua in the late Qing Dynasty was once listed here for business. Since the Republic of China, the Xianlin Pavilion has always been the first hall in Shaanxi Lane, until last year, Yunjiban relied on the lingering and moving love story between Xiaofengxian and General Cai Yi and the pair left by General Cai when he slept in the open. There are very few people here, and its people are like fairy dew pearls. The couplet became famous, overshadowing the Xianlin Pavilion.

"The subordinates are also entrusted by others, and they just borrow flowers to offer Buddha" Tang Zhidao also politely agreed, he didn't care about dealing with this kind of drunken people, but this Adjutant Lei in the Military Justice Department spoke the most effective.

"Three masters, please come in!" As soon as the three of them walked to the gate, the old bustard of the of the Xianlin Pavilion walked out shaking the waist of the water snake and waving a square scarf, accompanied by a pungent smell of fat powder.

"Hey, this isn't Adjutant Lei!" The old bustard recognized Lei Bingkun at a glance.

"Mother Yang's demeanor is still the same!" Lei Bingkun smiled on his face, and also leaned over and touched the old bustard's round ass with his fat big hand.

"Adjutant Lei, you haven't been here for a long time!" Mother Yang smiled and took Lei Bingkun's hand and said, "Are you looking at the girl in another building?" ”

"Mother Yang laughed, I'm not here to take care of your business today!" Lei Bingkun is really a middle-aged veteran, and he changes his method to rub oil on the bustard.

"These two little brothers are very angry, let's come to our Xianlin Pavilion for the first time!" Mother Yang is not willing to be taken advantage of by nothing, so naturally she is not very kind to see Lei Bingkun, who has not much money and is difficult to deal with. Seeing him followed by two men with faces facing him, he leaned in.

"Especially this little brother is so handsome, it's really a waste of this good figure if you don't come to visit our Xianlin Pavilion!" Mother Yang saw that Tang Daodao was extraordinary, so she couldn't wait to post it.

"Mother Yang said she was laughing!" Being pressed against Mother Yang's plump breasts, Tang Zhidao was more embarrassed, and it was the first time for him to visit this kind of Fengyue place in two lifetimes.

"Little brother is still a chick!" Probably feeling Tang Zhidao's embarrassment, Mother Yang smiled more and more: "Let the girl here open meat for you!" ”

"Mother Yang, this is the hospitality of the Xianlin Pavilion!" Zeng Lu parked the car and rushed over, just seeing Tang Zhidao's predicament. Zeng Dashao is a frequent visitor to the Xianlin Pavilion, and he is very familiar with the door.

"Hey, it turns out that they are all friends of Zeng Gongzi!" As soon as she saw Zeng Lu, Mother Yang gave up the incomprehensible Tang Road and went straight to the past.

"Why don't you let my friend in!" Zeng Lu waved his big hand and said with a sophisticated voice: "Call out all the good girls!" ”

"Please, please, please!" Mother Yang realized that the guests were still outside the gate, so she hurriedly let the four of them in, and after turning around, she shouted: "The girls are not coming to pick up the guests!" ”

"It's coming"

More than a dozen girls with heavy makeup and light makeup immediately came out from the second floor, and for a while, the warbler Yanyan in the hall on the first floor surrounded Tang Zhidao, Zeng Lu and others.

"Adjutant Lei, you haven't been here for a long time!" An older woman threw herself directly into Lei Bingkun's arms and said coquettishly: "Did you forget about others!" Lei Bingkun touched his hands up and down, his eyes still staring at the half-exposed breasts of other women and the white and tender thighs under the high open cheongsam.

"Young Master Zeng, you haven't been a slave for five days, you see that the slave family's breasts are small!" A girl in red vigorously put Zeng Lu's hand on her plump tits.

"Zeng Gongzi, you said that you would go to the slave's room for the night tonight!" Not to be outdone, another small and delicate woman said.

"It's the first time this boy has come to the Immortal Forest Pavilion!" A girl who looked relatively fresh and elegant whispered to Tang Zhidao: "How about coming to me to listen to the song?" ”…,

"This uncle, come with me!" Chen Congyi's side has been pulled by a strong woman.

"And business!" Tang Zhidao put aside the Yingying Yanyan beside him, walked to Zeng Lu's side and whispered: "The matter is over, you are messing around again!" ”

"It's all scattered, it's all scattered!" Zeng Lu saw that Tang Zhidao was a little angry, and hurriedly shouted loudly, and the warbler Yanyan in the hall quickly retreated.

"Zeng Gongzi, not satisfied?" Mother Yang ran over again, it is normal for customers to be dissatisfied at first, and the store will not pull out the good goods at the beginning, so there is no way out.

"We've booked a private room, and we'll call the girls to the room later." Zeng Lu took out a few pieces of ocean and stuffed them into Yang's mother's hand.

"The private room on the second floor of the backyard!" Mother Yang was very satisfied, and took Dayang to her waist and shouted upstairs: "Hu San, quickly lead the guests over!" ”

The four of them followed the turtle of the Xianlin Pavilion through a garden dozens of squares to the back building of the Xianlin Pavilion, and sure enough, it was another style, which was not much worse than the best restaurants in the capital.

This Xianlin Pavilion has long been a one-stop shop, drink and play, and the old mansion in the backyard has also been converted into a tea room and restaurant to meet the needs of different guests. Some anxious guests came to the Xianlin Pavilion to pull a good-looking girl and went upstairs to do that; Some guests like to listen to small songs and chat before going to bed; Some guests like to take Sister Yao out for a long time and then come back to do that; There are also guests who come here to invite a few ladies for dinner, purely to enliven the atmosphere ......, in short, now the tastes of the guests are becoming more and more diversified, and the Xianlin Pavilion has made a lot of changes with the times in order to stand tall among the flowers.
