Chapter 7: Spring Sleep Hall

[7] Spring Sleep Hall

After this poem, Sun Mao ordered the shopkeeper to take out a pen and paper, and he personally copied the poems of the four of them today.

Then the four of them drank a few more pots, Yao Fan asked Sun Maowen about the procedures for building a warehouse, Sun Maowen patted his chest and promised Yao Fan, saying that it was no problem to have him in such a trivial matter.

After the wine and food ran out, Wei Guo Fujian yƬ went to find some fun to play, Sun Maowen and Liu Ziming also said that this matter was elegant and could be done.

Yao Fan recalled the red face and smiling virtue of the wild prostitute he saw on the side of the road during the day, and he couldn't help but feel cold. But he also knows that at this time, there is absolutely no shirk for this kind of thing, and he must know that this is also the only way to befriend Qing officials. Regardless of whether you are really clear or false, you must not pretend to be overdone at this time, because you must be separated from others, and you must not do such a stupid thing at this time.

So the four of them went out of the Shijia Hotel in a row, Yao Fan settled the account in the back, and when he went out, he saw Sun Maowen and Liu Ziming on the sedan chair, Wei Guofu rode on the horse and pointed to the back and said to Yao Fan: "Brother Yao rides that horse." ā€

Although Yao Fan had never ridden a horse, he was not afraid to see that the horse was so short, he stepped on this thin and small donkey-like pony and grabbed the reins with courage, urging him to go up and walk one horse head behind Wei Guofu. This pony has an excellent temperament, and he is slow to swallow flesh and wood, and seems to be quite tame in training.

Probably thinking that he had opened up a new way of wealth, Wei Guofu really drank a lot today, he rode on the horse and said to Yao Fan with great interest: "Brother Yao is talented and wealthy, your Brother Wei is really happy with you, in the future, if the brother encounters any unsightly goods in this Jiaozhou City, just find the garrison yamen, and your brother Wei will settle with you." ā€

Yao Fan sang a promise, knowing that the promises of these officials were unreliable, and if he really wanted to do something with him in the future, he would have to spend some money at that time, but then again, it was better to have this kind of relationship than to come without affection.

The group soon came to a secluded neighborhood in the north of the city, and saw two small red lanterns hanging in front of the door, with the word "spring sleep" written on them. Yao Fan sighed secretly in his heart, feeling that the ancients were elegant, if there were brands such as Happy Shampoo Room, Happy Foot Bath City, and Beishuang Biao Song Hall here, he would inevitably spit out half of the wine he had just drunk.

Yao Fan commented with the strength of the wine: "I don't know about spring sleep, and it really meets the situation." ā€

Sun Maowen got off the sedan chair and walked in with his stomach shy, smiling proudly as he walked: "The more elegant it is, the better." I don't dare to say it elsewhere, but the women's upbringing and conversation in Chunmian Hall are not comparable to the yellow croaker pheasants on the side of the road.

Liu Ziming, the customs inspector, was stunned when he saw Yao Fan, and said with knowledge: "Brother Yao has lived overseas for a long time, and I don't know it, and the people of the Qing Dynasty call the big-footed prostitutes standing on the side of the road yellow croaker, and the rogue prostitutes who rent a house and open a sign to sell themselves are called pheasants, and those are all places where rough people go below." But...... Hehehe, some Tongji quite like that tune...... Hahaha......"

Liu Ziming smiled and finished showing off his profound knowledge, Sun Maowen picked up the conversation, and also laughed: "Lord Liu knows that heroes are not reckless? It must be known that the pheasant platform is also there. ā€

Liu Ziming laughed again when he heard this.

Yao Fan didn't know what to do, but he smiled and echoed everyone and followed closely.

Wei Guofu seemed to come and go here often, leading the three of them all the way through the Sanjin courtyard to the innermost, and along the way, the old bustard and the turtle stared like flies at the back of Wei Guofu's buttocks.

"Master Wei, you can really bear it! I want my Xiangyun daughter's daily hope, but I haven't seen you come for a few days, and I pity my daughter's little face is thin. ā€

The flesh of the old bustard's cheeks was throbbing, his buttocks were twisting vigorously, his fingers were tightly gripping the handkerchief, and he was stammering Wei Guofu with great flattery.

Wei Guofu smiled lewdly, with a satisfied face, holding his stomach and turning his head to everyone: "The big guy is going to look for a good child." ā€

Then Wei Guofu told the old bustard: "My brother Yao came back from overseas, you must find a first-class girl to serve him, don't fall into the dignity of my Great Qing Kingdom." If anyone annoys my brother, I will have to skin your and feed it to the dog. ā€

After that, Wei Guofu gestured to Yao Fan's side, and the old bustard suddenly smiled and agreed: "Master Wei's brother, that is my own uncle, I just put on my own dozens of catties, and I want to serve him comfortably." ā€

Yao Fan heard this, and his taste was extremely heavy, and his flesh was numb in an instant, and goosebumps rose all over his body.

Seeing Yao Fan's restraint, Wei Guofu smiled and squeezed his eyes at him, Yao Fan figured out what he meant to let himself go? followed a turtle into the east wing, and Sun Maowen and Liu Ziming also followed the little turtle to the north hall with a shy stomach.

The old bustard in the courtyard put his arm around Yao Fan's arm and said affectionately: "I said why didn't I see Gongzi's braids, it turns out that Gongzi is a state guest from overseas, disrespectful!" Disrespectful! Now that Master Wei said it, then I must choose a good girl to serve my son, but the old slave doesn't know what my son likes? Is there any attention to fat, thin, tall and short? Do you like to talk about it? ā€

Yao Fan's face was embarrassed, and he quickly replied: "Just find someone who can chat." ā€

The old bustard smiled: "Then it must be for the third sister to serve the young master." ā€

The old bustard said to the little turtle next to him, "Take Yao Gongzi to the third sister's house." ā€

Yao Fan entered the room and saw that the room was still clean, so he sat down at the round table. The third sister gave him a deep blessing, and when she saw him sit down, she got up elegantly, sat down lightly on the round stool beside Yao Fan, raised her eyes and asked Yao Fan: "How many plates do you want?" ā€

Yao Fan knew that the income of these high-level prostitutes basically depended on fruit plates and tea, and the money from selling meat generally went to the brothels, so he said: "You can do it, make a pot of your best tea here, and we will talk about it at will." ā€

Yao Fan looked at the third sister, and saw that she was wearing a water-green lake silk single dress, with a graceful figure, a white and tender face with a pointed chin, a bright big eyes that were quite expressive, and a little fat powder painted with light makeup, which was really beautiful and dignified.

She listened to Yao Fan's explanation, so she instructed the little turtle waiting on the side: "You go and ask your mother to send four fruit plates, to be sent today, choose the freshest, and then take the new Ming Qian Shanghao Longjing, I soaked it with my son to taste." ā€

The little turtle didn't leave, Yao Fan understood, and threw him a piece of broken silver about a tael, the little turtle smiled and thanked him, and hurriedly ran away in a panic, and after a while, when he turned back, he had a vermilion lacquered wooden plate in his hand, on which were placed four small fruit plates, which contained melon seeds, plums, pickled winter melon strips and a few snacks that didn't know what stuffing. Putting down the plate, the little turtle ran again, this time holding a fist-sized small black pottery teapot in his left hand and a white porcelain teapot with boiling water in his right hand.

The third sister took it and began to make tea for Yao Fan with the white porcelain teacup buckled in the tea tray on the table.

The little turtle thoughtfully closed the door, leaving only Yao Fan and the third sister alone.

So Yao Fan relaxed, looked around at the furnishings in the house, and saw that there were beauty painting scrolls hanging on the four walls of the room, and other decorative objects such as vases and other decorative objects looked like ordinary imitations, so he turned his attention back to the third sister.

"Childe, you taste the Longjing tea before the Ming Dynasty, I heard the guests say that in Jiaozhou, the tea in our Chunmian Hall tastes good, and it is better than the one in the teahouse."

Yao Fan sniffed it slightly, it was a little sweet, and he felt that this tea was indeed okay, so he nodded in approval.

"The third sister saw that the son did not have braids, could the son be religious? I don't think you have braids, but you're still very handsome. The third sister stammered and complimented Yao Fan.

Yao Fan ignored the third sister's words, and resumed the topic: "Third sister, how long have you been living in Jiaozhou?" ā€

The third sister calmly responded: "The slave family has been in Jiaozhou for five years. ā€

Yao Fan asked: "What did I say about the pheasant platform when I heard Sun Zhou's judgment?" What is this allusion? DID YOU KNOW? ā€

The third sister laughed, knocked a melon seed with some jerky movements, peeled it off with her fingernails, took Ren'er and sent it to Yao Fan's mouth, Yao Fan ate it hard.

The third sister saw that Yao Van Gogh was handsome, with a straight nose bridge and starry eyes and bright teeth, and she was quite in love with her.

"Lord Sun is not an arranger, I heard that in Jimo County, on the edge of Jiaozhou, the former surname of Lord Zhao of the county was Liu, who was originally a businessman in Nanjing, because he liked a prostitute named Osmanthus and rented a house with a sign, and he married a family after coming and going. The pheasant became a lady, so naturally he picked up the brand and no longer came out to sell, but just asked Lord Liu to donate an official. Lord Liu said that although he knew half a basket of words, he couldn't understand how to be an official when he started an article. ā€

Yao Fan nodded and said, "That's not the reason." ā€

The third sister smiled: "But this prostitute called osmanthus has to ask Lord Liu to donate officials, Lord Liu has no choice, so he had to go to Beijing with this osmanthus, I never thought that this osmanthus is really a person with a way, she asked someone to spend three thousand taels, and donated a four-grade Taoist platform to Lord Liu, but you also know that our Great Qing Kingdom, there are many donors like cow hair, as the saying goes, the candidate road for 10,000 years, 10,000 years can not be arranged." That's it. ā€

Yao Fan asked: "Then how did this Lord Liu become the judge of Shangzhou?" ā€

The third sister said: "I want the ordinary squire to donate to the official, it is nothing more than to ask for a glorious ancestor, and in the future, walking around the township, it is more decent to have an official body." But I never thought that this prostitute had a way, and he actually found a letter from a prince in Beijing and handed it to the governor of Shandong. It turns out that this prostitute's mother is the wet nurse who the prince is now favoring. ā€

Yao Fan smiled: "Then the prince has not been weaned yet, how can he write a letter?" ā€

The third sister covered her mouth and smiled: "Since you are the prince, even if you have a lot of beard and want to eat milk, you can always eat it." ā€

Yao Fan felt that this matter was starting to be ridiculous, and asked, "Then Lord Liu became an official later?" ā€
