When a group of five people arrived in Qingliu Lane, they could see the woman with flowers and branches soliciting customers outside, and before it was night, the red lanterns were one after another, so it was not lively. Pedestrians are clustered, or they stare in the street to choose, or there are targets rushing by.

Outside the Yuhua Building, it is a small face, a knowing guest entertains guests at the door, and a small lantern is hung at the door.

"Here we are." Huang Lie greeted.

Han Jian looked at the door of Yuhualou, as one of the top official brothels in Luoyang, the pomp and circumstance could not be compared with large private brothels such as Qingyuefang.

Very tasteful.

Han Jian said with emotion: "It is said that there are people in the depths of the alley, and now it is the Saffron House in the depths of the alley, and there is no clear stream in the clear stream alley. ”

Han Jian's words rhymed like poetry, which surprised Huang Lie, although he was dressed as a Confucian student, the ink in his stomach was only enough to make the first limerick poem.

Yang Xi on the side said: "The metaphor of the Red Mansion is very appropriate, and the building is saffron. ”

Han Jian listened to Yang Xi's evaluation, smiled slightly, and at this time, Zhike also stepped forward.

"Huang Gongzi, bring a friend to cheer?" Zhike said with a flattering smile.

"My son can't be alone every time, right? These friends of mine are not small, and you will be rewarded for your good hospitality. Huang Lie said with a smug face.

"It's nature." Zhike saluted, "A few people, please come in." ”

A group of people entered the courtyard of Yuhualou under the greeting of the guests, the place is not spacious, the lights are not bright, and there are no guests wandering outside the house, upstairs and downstairs except for the room or the room, just faintly heard some music.

"It's better to be an official prostitute, and you don't even have to give money to enter the door." Sima said with pleasure.

Huang Lie said: "There is no need to give money here, but the cost of rewards and tea is only a lot more than that of ordinary prostitutes, as for the overnight expenses...... That's even more. A few of you don't dislike it, and today I will invite you to the next banquet, and any expenses will be counted in my account. ”

"What's so embarrassing?" Sima Yi smiled and stepped forward to pat Huang Lie on the shoulder, and he seemed to be much closer to Huang Lie. He said half of his words, and his original intention was that he was embarrassed not to accept it.

"Where, where, make a few friends below, and take care of them more in the future." Huang Lie looked very happy.

Han Jian did not comment, he guessed that this Huang Lie felt that he had no friends and no backers and could not continue to be arrogant in Luoyang City, so he wanted to get to know more people.

At this time, the bustard mother of Yuhualou had just sent a wave of guests into the room and greeted her downstairs with a smile.

Unlike the bustard mother in Qingyuefang, who is unappetizing when she looks at it, Yuhualou's bustard mother is not very old, only in her thirties, with a good appearance and elegant posture, holding a handkerchief and twisting it step by step, it is as light as boneless, a wide dress is like a nightgown, and a long belt is dragged to the ground, as if she can open her clothes with a slight pull and step.

"Is this a girl or a bustard?" Sima sighed, "The girl's words are a little older, and the bustard's words are too charming." ”

Huang Lie said with a little disappointment: "Don't think about it, this is the bustard lady Lan Niang here, I also asked before, she won't accept guests for how much silver she pays." ”

Sima smiled and said, "It varies from person to person, right?" ”

Sima Yu's words were obviously thorny, meaning that Huang Lie's charm was not enough, and someone else might be able to make Lan Niang dedicate herself. At this time, Huang Lie stepped forward and ignored what Sima Yi said.

"If you don't see each other for a day, Lan Niang is still so attractive." Huang Lie said with a shy face.

The corner of Lan Niang's eyebrows glanced at Huang Lie lightly, and said with a smile: "Huang Gongzi's mouth is really sweet, I don't know which girl will be sweetened by your honey pot tonight, obediently recommend yourself to the pillow?" ”

Han Jian looked at Lan Niang, although she spoke in a local accent, she had a bit of Jiangnan Wu Nong's soft language.

At this time, Jiangnan was the territory of the Qi people.

Huang Lie smiled: "If you can choose, I wish I would give you Lan Niang a sweet pour, and I won't do what he asks." ”

"How can a slave get such a blessing......"

Lan Niang smiled and joked, and put on an attitude as if Huang Lie was a good old man, but Han Jian could feel that this woman's perfunctory ability was very high, and she didn't need to be taken advantage of, just by a smile and a few words, she could turn Huang Lie into a fascination with a lustful ghost.

"How many people, are you going to the private room, or the big room upstairs?" After perfunctory work with Huang Lie, Lan Niang smiled and looked at the few people in front of her who had been silent.

Lan Niang's last eyes stayed on Han Jian, because Han Jian's waist saber was extraordinary, but at this time, Han Jian looked cautious and righteous Ling Ran, which was regarded by Lan Niang as the expression of the "first brother" who was first involved in the party.

"What's the point?" Han Jian asked.

Lan Niang said with a smile: "The big room upstairs is prepared for today's performance, and in a while, Xiliu, Miss He and a few girls with good voices will come over to perform, you can have a sneak peek." However, if you want to find an elegant place to drink, taste tea, sing poetry, and find a few good girls to accompany you, you should go to the private room. The private room is quiet. ”

"Then let's go upstairs." Han Jian said.

Han Jian thought, anyway, the main purpose of coming here today is to find "Xiliu", as for whether this Xiliu is a big Xiliu or a small Xiliu or an irrelevant person, he can only know if he has seen it. As for coming here to spend the night, he didn't want to, so he had to go to Gu Mansion to see Gu Xin'er the next day, which was his main course.

The large room of Yuhualou is a spacious room, several rooms are connected together, and there are some seats for people to drink between the carved railings and painting pavilions, and the seats are separated by flowers and birds or the screens of the Spring Palace. Han Jian thought that they would come early before nightfall, but in fact, there were very few empty seats in Oma, and at the current seat closest to the front performance stage, Han Jian saw several familiar figures, the third prince Yang Yu and the criminal department squire Li Wei, in addition to a few court officials, they were drinking and chatting in civilian clothes and did not pay attention to the door, obviously they had been here for a while.

"It's the third brother, I'll go over to say hello." Yang Xi said.

Han Jian grabbed him and motioned to the table to speak, and when the group sat in front of the seat and Yang Yu's table was separated by two zhang and a screen, Han Jian said: "Today, I just came to find a Yaxing, and I don't need to let your brother know." ”

Yang Xi looked puzzled, but he still nodded, he still couldn't understand why he couldn't go over to greet Yang Yu.

Han Jian's heart is transparent, since the behind-the-scenes owner here is Li Wei, and Li Wei is here to accompany Yang Yu today, and it is logical that the daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Jiang family, as well as the "Miss He" and even Xiliu, happen to come over today, because Li Wei wants to flatter Yang Yu, and the first step is to offer a woman to Yang Yu, and I don't know which Yang Yu is better, so I have to eat meat and vegetarian dishes. At this time, Yang Xi went over uninterestingly, so that Li Wei, Yang Yu and others knew that they were here, and they were in vain to provoke right and wrong, so it was better to watch the scene from a distance and see what kind of tricks Li Wei would play.

Han Jian also realized that if "Xiliu" was really the big and small Xiliu he knew, then the purpose of Xiliu coming over was not simple, and it was likely to be another assassination plan.

Yang Xi tilted his head and looked at Yang Yu's side, muttering, "Li Shilang is actually here, what are they doing?" ”

"What else can be done?" Sima said, "I said that the surname Li is the proprietor here, so why don't you send a woman to your third brother with the surname Li or something?" ”

Yang Xi's face turned a little red and said, "You...... Don't talk nonsense, my third brother is married, and the third sister-in-law is knowledgeable and virtuous, and the little niece is now two years old. ”

"Don't get excited, I'm just talking about it." Sima smiled apologetically.

Han Jian said on the side: "Maybe your third brother is like us, just come over to drink and meet friends, and watch the performance by the way." ”

Yang Xi nodded and said, "Hmm." It must be so. ”
