"The king of the east is going to see his relatives, and it is inconvenient for me to accompany him more. At this point, I still want to walk around the city alone. The Empress said in a very cold tone.

Han Jian didn't expect the empress to refuse so bluntly, just now he agreed to let him lead the way, but now he said that he wanted to walk alone.

However, Han Jian also keenly felt that the empress was so volatile, because the empress herself was also very chaotic and couldn't make up her mind at all.

This just shows that his offensive is still "effective".

Han Jianxin said that this can't be taken lightly, since the empress's heart is a little messy, why don't you strike while the iron is hot?

"Since Your Majesty doesn't want to go, the minister should accompany His Majesty and visit Jiangdu City together." Han Jian said with a smile.

The empress glanced at Han Jian, and knew that Han Jian didn't have any "good intentions", but at this time, she didn't refuse, nodded slightly, and walked with Han Jian in Jiangdu City.

Along the way, Han Jian continued to introduce the customs and customs of Jiangdu, and the details were told in detail, which was also the only time in Han Jian's life.

The empress listened a little intrigued, especially when Han Jian told some folk tales, which made her feel a little novel. Different places and different customs will have different backgrounds, and she herself lives in Luoyang City, so she naturally does not understand the terroir of the Jianghuai generation.

"King Dong, why do you know so much?" The empress stared at Han Jian, as if she wanted to understand Han Jian, in her opinion, some things were comprehended through the accumulation of time, and many folk tales also needed decades of accumulation to be so vivid. And Han Jian is just a young junior, but he seems to be a knowledgeable old man. When it comes to customs, you can talk about it so methodically.

"Back to His Majesty, the minister was born in Jiangdu, and since he was four or five years old, he often ran in Jiangdu City, and after listening to it a lot, he naturally knew. It may be that the minister doesn't do his job on weekdays, and likes to focus on these. Han Jian said with a little shame on his face.

When the empress heard Han Jian say this, she couldn't help but smile and said, "I didn't expect you to have such a humble time." ”

Han Jian smiled stupidly, and said in his heart that he was originally so shy, and he was just pursuing the empress. It seems a little too rushed. Of course, he would never admit that he was a man of conspiracies. And feel like you are kind and innocent.

The two of them walked in front, followed by a little maid, and many of the people who saw the two on the road also looked sideways. Mainly because Han Jian can be said to be young and handsome, and the empress is also a little graceful in casual clothes. Han Jian is strolling leisurely. Although I know that my land is not very stable now. There could be an Assassin or something. But he was still relieved, because there were at least a hundred guards secretly protecting him.

Seeing noon, the empress suddenly looked at the sun in the sky. He said, "King Dong, I'm a little tired, I don't know where to eat?" ”

Han Jian thought to himself, just eat, and said to eat, is this out to be an ordinary person or to put on a show?

Although he also knew that the empress's "possitation" was also shown to him, and he wanted him to "stay away", he was not afraid of challenges at all.

"Back to His Majesty, there is a flower building nearby, the wine and food are good, and the minister has also tasted it." Han Jian introduced.

The empress shook her head and said, "I don't want to go to the restaurant. ”

Han Jian thought about it, is it because the empress thinks that the quality in the restaurant is complicated?

"Then there are many teahouses nearby......

Han Jian said, and the empress suddenly waved her hand to signal him not to continue.

"You Jiangdu, can you have a Qinglou Chu Pavilion?" The Empress asked suddenly.

"What did you mean by a brothel?" Han Jian asked with a slight surprise on his face.

"Yes." Han Jian said, "I want to observe the people's customs, so naturally I want to go to the ordinary people, this Qinglou Chu Pavilion can be said to be a symbol of prosperity in a place, and you Jiangdu ...... It won't be nothing, right? ”

Han Jian smiled and said: "Over the years, because Jiaci is in charge of the military and government of Jiangdu, although Jiangdu has not banned brothels, it has also been strictly censored, and human trafficking is not allowed, making Fengyue buy and sell...... Very depressed. However, there are still a few famous green buildings in Jiangdu, and there is no shortage of stories of talented and beautiful women. ”

When the empress heard this, she nodded slightly and said, "The East King is leading the way." ”

Han Jian was a little embarrassed, and said, "But Your Majesty, this prostitute ...... It doesn't seem to be very open during the day. ”

"Oh?" The Empress frowned slightly and asked, "Why is that?" ”

Han Jianxin said, is this knowingly asking or pretending to be confused? The women in the brothel all entertain guests at night, and the guests have to wait until the evening, and a few people in the daytime will seem to have nothing to do to "have fun".

"Back to Your Majesty, the people of Jiangdu are more conservative, so ...... Some things are always done at night......"

The empress understood now, glanced at Han Jian, and said with a bit of blame in her tone: "People are not big, and they will beat around the bush when they speak." Just say, do you want to take me to see it? ”

Han Jian thought about it, since the empress was so insistent on going to an "elegant place", if he stopped it, he would not know each other.

"The minister leads the way for His Majesty."

Han Jian really didn't know where to take the empress, these days, no matter where Fengyue is in, it is indispensable. Although Han Song's strict scrutiny of local prostitutions in Dongwangfu over the years, human trafficking has also been repeatedly prohibited. In addition, in these years, the river can be said to be smooth and the people are rich, and the things in the wind and moon seem to be very prosperous.

Han Jian thought about it, and then thought of the largest brothel in the city, called "Jiangnan Building".

In this Jiangnan building, it is said that they are all women from Jiangnan, Zhong Lingyuxiu's small family jasper, which makes the scholars in Jiangdu forget to return. Han Jian wanted to go and see it before, but because he was not very old, he felt that he had a heart and was powerless, and Han Song and others tried their best to prevent him from having anything to do with folk women, so he had not seen the scenery of this Jiangnan Tower before he was sixteen years old.

As soon as Han Jian told him about Jiangnan Tower, the empress couldn't help but nod and said, "This is a good place to go." ”

Han Jian thought to himself, this can also be regarded as a good place? It's just that you put on a men's dress, and now others know that you are a woman at a glance, and when a woman enters a brothel, she is either looking for a husband or seeking revenge, and when she enters a brothel in broad daylight, it is strange that the bustard girl in the brothel can let in.

"King Dong, you have enough money." The Empress asked suddenly.

Han Jian touched his chest decently and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the minister came out in a hurry, just brought a little scattered silver. ”

"Really? That's fine, I just want to go and have a look, not to go in and have a good time, and it won't cost too much silver. ”

Han Jianxin said that this really can't stop you. sighed in his heart, but he could only follow.

In fact, in order to win the favor of the empress, he brought a lot of silver tickets, in Jiangdu, the money bank business is very prosperous, and the silver tickets can be freely exchanged in the market, but not everyone can get the silver tickets. Because the value of a silver ticket is far higher than the ability of ordinary people's families to bear in these years.

Han Jian didn't know the reason why the empress wanted to go to the brothel, so he couldn't figure it out, so he could only lead the way first, and when he arrived at Jiangnan Tower, he found that Jiangnan Tower had not opened before noon.

Han Jian expected that at this time, most of the girls inside were still resting, or were busy with their own affairs, and they didn't have time to come out to entertain guests.

"陛xià...... It seems that we can only go back first. Han Jian said with a disappointed look on his face.

"It's really the wish of the king of the east." The empress glanced at Han Jian, as if she knew that Han Jian's expression was disguised, and the empress looked up at the Jiangnan Tower for a while, and suddenly said, "Go to the back door, I want to go in and have a look." ”

"Yes." Han Jian had no choice but to take the empress through the streets and alleys to the alley behind Jiangnan Tower.

In addition to the street frontage, there are also many ordinary alleys behind, and people either go out to work or are in the house on weekdays, and few people come out to walk around if they have nothing to do.

When I arrived in the back alley, the alley was a little dim because of the light blockage of the small buildings along the street. Han Jian looked at it and felt that something was wrong. In this way, the entourage who is secretly protecting does not dare to approach, and what danger may happen.

"King Dong, why don't you leave?" The Empress asked suddenly.

"Your Majesty, it's better not to go to such a complicated place." Han Jian explained.

"I came out and left, you have to accompany the East King, where are I going now, and I have to ask the East King what you mean?" The empress said coldly.

Han Jian sighed helplessly and went to the backyard gate of Jiangnan Tower with the empress. The empress signaled and asked Han Jian to go up and knock on the door.

Han Jian felt a little strange in his heart, now that he is the king of the East, he actually went to the backyard of a Qinglou Chu Pavilion to knock on the door on his own land, what kind of system is this?

However, due to the emperor's order, he could only step forward. I knocked on the door twice, and sure enough, someone actually opened the door.

But it was an old woman in her forties, who didn't seem to be a bustard, but a maid in the Jiangnan Building.

"This son...... Are you looking for someone? The old woman saw that Han Jian was dressed extraordinarily, so she guessed that if she was not rich, she would be expensive, the point was that there was a personable woman standing next to Han Jian, and she didn't quite understand what these two were here for, so she had to ask.

"This ......" Han Jian glanced back at the empress and said, "I'm here to talk to you bustard mother about something." ”

"Oh." The woman looked abrupt and had a contemptuous smile on her face.

From this smile, Han Jian read that he must have thought that he was a down-and-out son, either to sell his wife or his aunt.

"Childe, please go back, Jiangnan Building, it's not open during the day, so let's wait until the evening to come back." When the time comes, the old body will say a word to the aunt and ask her to come to the backyard to have a look. ”

Han Jian didn't want to be verbose, seeing that the old woman was a little impatient and made a gesture of driving people away, he directly took out a silver ticket from his arms, but it was a "big bill" of one hundred taels, and directly made the woman look stupid.

"This ......" the woman thought to herself, this woman who sells her sons and daughters, it is difficult to sell dozens of taels at a time, this shot is a hundred taels of silver, and it seems that there is a large stack in her arms, where is this master who is short of money?
