It turned out that unconsciously, Qiu Yizhi had taken Yiran and walked to the alley where the brothels of the Qinglou brothel gathered.

You must know that there is a green building called "Warm Fragrance Pavilion" in this alley, which once hid the holy daughter of the Tianzun Sect, and several other green buildings may not have nothing to do with the cult. Qiu Yi thought to herself: If Yiran saw that he was torn up with the Tianzun Sect after coming to Luoyang, and when the time came, he would say a few bad words in front of his father-in-law, King Youyan, then he would inevitably be punished, and he might be driven out of Youyan Palace.

Thinking of this, Qiu Yizhi hurriedly grabbed Yiran, turned around and walked back.

Yiran felt strange and asked, "Haven't we already walked around the back alleys?" I see it's very lively in front of me, so why don't you go and have a look? ”

Qiu Yizhi asked rhetorically, "Do you know what the pavilions on both sides of this alley are for?" ”

"Hey! Isn't it a green building? Yiran replied briskly, "It's not that there is nothing in Guangyang City." But I haven't been in to see it, and today I can come to Luoyang to see the world! ”

When Qiu Yizhi heard this, he frowned, and said, "What kind of clean place do you think this is?" You are a woman, you have entered the Qinglou, do you want to have a clean reputation? ”

Yiran smiled and said: "Our women in the Bohai Kingdom don't have such exquisiteness, they can go and see it if they want to, what's the big deal?" With that, he walked to the first green building at the mouth of the alley.

Qiu Yizhi saw that this green building was the "Warm Fragrance Pavilion", and he was in a panic, and hurriedly grabbed Yiran and said: "This shop building is broken, the door is small, and the plaque couplet is not conspicuous, and it is estimated that there is nothing to look at." I think the incense shop in front of me is good. If you want to go, let's go! ”

Yiran turned his head and said angrily: "You know how to do it." Believe it or not, I'm going to sue you before your stepfather? ”

Qiu Yi thought: The so-called lesser of two evils, between the two crimes of fornicating with the cult and trespassing into the Qinglou, the latter one is really much lighter, so he laughed and said: "I also have the same idea as you, and I will come here to see the world after finishing my work." It's a pity that the asking price is too high, and you know, I'm a poor ghost, and I don't have money to spend time here. Or take advantage of the generosity of His Royal Highness the County Lord today, so that I can make this trip worthwhile? ”

Yiran listened, spat Qiu Yi and said, "You also have the face to ask me for this money?" Tell you, after you go in, you can only watch, not ...... I can't even say a word more, understand? ”

Qiu Yizhi heard this, and said with a smile: "That's it." I'm a translator, the county lord doesn't speak, how can there be a place for me to speak. It's just that if this matter is known by the father-in-law, you and I will inevitably be scolded, and only you know today's affairs, okay? As he spoke, he saw Yiran nodding in agreement, and then walked into the incense hall one after the other.

The interior of this incense hall is full of lights, and the display decoration is very gaudy, far from the plain elegance of the warm incense pavilion, but it is not much different from the brothel that Qiu Yizhi imagined in his heart. At this time, it was already dinner time, and the number of people who came here to eat and drink flower wine gradually increased, and the hall was already bustling.

Seeing that there were two guests in the hall, a man and a woman, he couldn't guess what their identities were, so he took two steps, bent down and said, "This master, we have never had a rule in the incense hall to bring a girl over. Looking at this girl's appearance like this, I don't know, I thought the master was here to kick the gym! ”

"What? Can't women come here to play? Yiran asked.

Seeing that Yiran's appearance was extraordinary, the turtle prince didn't dare to make a mistake, rubbing his hands and saying: "The little one is less knowledgeable, and I have never heard of a girl and daughter-in-law from any family come to play with us." ”

Qiu Yizhi was afraid that Yiran would quarrel with this turtle prince, and interjected: "You don't have to say a few words." We're from out of town, so let's just come and have a look. As he spoke, he threw him a piece of silver, "Choose an elegant seat in the corner for us, and just bring up the good wine and food, and don't bother again." ”

Who doesn't love money when working in this brothel doesn't love money? The turtle man took the silver, shook it in his hand, and immediately changed his flattering expression: "It's easy to say." This rule is dead, but man is alive. Come with me, you two, there is a vacant seat by the window here. After that, he led Qiu Yizhi and Yiran to a table of eight immortals by the window, and said, "Since the two of you are from other places, I am afraid that we have not tasted the specialty dishes of our Xiangxiang Pavilion." It's a little self-made, so it's okay to serve the two of you? ”

Qiu Yizhi smiled: "You have a good mouth." It's a grievance to be a runner here. There are only two of us here, you pick up a few exquisite and rare dishes, and there are too many of them, we can't eat them, but we want you to go around. ”

Listening to Qiu Yizhi's words, the turtle prince didn't seem to be a good person, so he had to retreat resignedly.

As he spoke, the hall was already full of guests, and the sounds of pushing cups and changing lamps and staggering were intertwined.

The speed of serving food in this incense restaurant was not satisfied, but not long after, it was still the turtle who ran the hall just now, holding a food plate in his hand, and serving a squirrel osmanthus fish, a plate of carp lips, a plate of steamed deer tail, several other side dishes and a pot of wine on the table.

Qiu Yizhi saw that these dishes were cooked very exquisitely, and the ingredients were all rare and delicious among the people, even compared with what Zhou Cijing invited him to eat in Guangyang City that day, he did not fall behind, so he asked with a smile: "You are doing a good job selling the dishes of the Xiangguan, I don't know, I thought I entered a restaurant." ”

The turtle prince glanced at Yiran, who was sitting on the side, and smiled at Qiu Yizhi: "Master, you want to meet the girl in our hall, right?" Don't worry, it'll be there in a moment. ”

Before the words fell, the sound of silk and bamboo in the hall was loud, and a team of fireworks women dressed in various light gauze silk skirts and holding fans walked down the stairs, throwing flattering glances at acquaintances while shuttling left and right in the hall. The entire incense hall was suddenly filled with warblers, songs, swallows, dances, obscene words, jokes, and conversations, and people couldn't help but blush. Most of the people who were sitting at the wine table or chatting happily or whispering were also pulled past the pleasing girl, hugged them left and right, and raised their hands up and down, which looked unsightly for a while.

Qiu Yizhi was already a little shy when he saw this scene, but when he saw that Yiran's eyes widened and he couldn't see it, he also looked around. But I saw that these fireworks women were just vulgar fans, and they were naturally different from the beautiful and refined Wen Lingjiao, and they were 108,000 miles worse than the memory in front of them, and even the lotus in front of Wen Lingjiao was several times stronger than them.

So Qiu Yizhi put away his gaze and asked Yiran, "How is it?" There's nothing special in this green building, right? ”

Yi Ran still saw the gods, and said: "You Han people in the Central Plains are really strange. What is written in the book and what is said in the mouth is all sanctimonious, but in private, it is all dirty and dirty, which is really boring. ”

Yiran's sentence wiped out all the Han people, including Qiu Yizhi, but he said that he said that the human feelings were not bad at all, so he had no way to refute for a while, so he had to pick up chopsticks, pick up delicious dishes and send them to his mouth.

At this moment, three people dressed very gorgeously came from nowhere, walked up to the table of Qiu Yizhi, and asked with a big grin: "A few of us are late, and there are still two empty seats here, can you let us sit down?" ”

Qiu Yizhi saw that these people were all frivolous, and knew that they were all uninvited guests, so he lied: "There are still a few friends coming here, and the three of them are going to sit here, I'm afraid it's a little inconvenient." ”

The man in the lead looked like he was no more than twenty-five or sixteen years old, his eyes bulged out to show that he was overly drunk, and he shook his folding fan and said, "Where did you come from?" It's coming, can we just let it go when the time comes? ”

Seeing that these people seemed to be finding fault, Qiu Yizhi sighed and said softly: "Since a few people like this seat, then I'll give it to you." After that, he got up and asked Yiran to leave together.

Yiran sat upright in his seat and did not move, his eyes were still observing up and down the incense hall, and he said lightly: "This is the seat we have set, why should we go?" ”

Qiu Yizhi only remembered that he didn't know the reason, and was searching his stomach to explain to her.

The young man who found fault laughed a few times: "It's still this little lady who is sensible." I just saw the little lady looking beautiful outside the window, but I didn't know that I was following such a wreck. Before I could show my real skills, I scared him away. After that, he picked up the wine jug on the table, poured himself a glass, poured another glass of wine for Yiran, and said, "That kid wants to go, so let him go." I'm here to have a drink with the little lady! ”

Qiu Yizhi heard that they said that he was a "wreck", and an anger had risen from his heart, and he thought: If this is in Guangyang City, you don't need to do it yourself, and reporting your name can scare these people to the point of urine; If the elder brother Chi Lianghong was by his side, as long as he moved his little finger, he could knock them to the ground immediately; If she was in the Nuanxiang Pavilion, with her friendship with the old bustard Gu Erniang, maybe she could secretly put some strange poison to make these people make a fool of themselves on the spot......

But he thought about it again, the Bohai County Lord he knew was not such a reluctant character, and he must have come up with some way to trick these people. Thinking of this, but he was afraid that he would make some big moves and not end well, so he raised his voice slightly and said, "Okay, what's so much entangled with these people?" Let's just change places. ”

Before Yi Ran could answer, he provoked the young man who took the lead, only to see him shouting at the top of his throat: "Go away!" What's going on with you here? While shouting, he held a folding fan in his hand and smashed it on the door of Qiu Yi's head.

Qiu Yi's hand was quick, flashed sideways, and grabbed the man's right hand holding the fan. Although Qiu Yizhi has been in the army for a long time, his martial arts are actually ordinary, much worse than the ordinary sergeants of Youyan Dao, but he didn't expect that he would pinch this troublesome young man to scream "wow" with a gentle hand.

Seeing this, the two people who followed the young man immediately pushed Qiu Yizhi away, supported the young man and said, "You are so bold, do you know who this young master is?" Speak out and scare your guts! ”

Qiu Yizhi had already heard that this presumptuous young man was the yamen of an adult in the capital, and thought: If this matter is caused by the government, although it will not suffer by virtue of remembering the identity of the county lord of Bohai Kingdom, or by carrying out the name of the prince of Youyan; But the place where the incident happened was in the Qinglou, after all, it was a little undignified.

Qiu Yizhi was searching for a way to get out, but he said faintly: "I heard that here, men invite women to drink, but they want to give money, right?" ”

When the young man heard her say this, he suddenly came to his senses again, rubbed his wrist that was pinched and painful, and said, "That's it." The girl in this incense hall can get a reward of silver for drinking a glass of wine in a small cup like this. I'm in a good mood today, how about giving you a tenfold multiplier, a cup of silver or two? ”

At this time, there were not half a hundred but twenty or thirty people around the wine table who came up to see the excitement, and when they heard this young man's generosity, they said "oh" in unison.

The young man was coaxed by the spectators, and when he was complacent, he heard Yiran say, "What if I want to invite you to drink?" ”

The young man was stunned for a moment, rolled his eyes, and said, "There are too many people who want to invite me to drink, and if ordinary people wait, I will ignore them." Since it is a little lady who is invited, then I will give you face today, and it is also a glass of wine with one or two silvers, and Tong Su is not bullied! ”

Yiran listened, the corners of his mouth raised, he slowly stood up from his seat, took out an object from his arms, slammed it on the table, and asked, "Then how much silver do you think such a thing is worth?" How many glasses of wine are enough for you? ”
