The imperial capital under the control of the Gu clan gathers resources from four provinces and eight provinces, and fattens a city. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe imperial capital is prosperous, and the residents have no worries about food and clothing, wealth and tranquility. As the saying goes, the aristocratic and rich people who are full of warmth and money bags are not satisfied with the dull and tasteless life, and begin to change their ways to seek stimulation of sensory desires.

Therefore, in the imperial capital, many gold caves have been born, and the wind and moon are drunk places.

Among them, Jinling Street is the most famous.

The eight main streets of the imperial capital are the most lively and prosperous. Jinling Street is located in the southwest, bordering Weishui. The whole street concentrates more than eighty percent of the entertainment venues in the imperial capital, among which the most luxurious and magnificent is none other than the Baihualou built near the water.

Hundred flowers building, a hundred flowers blooming.

If you don't have a lot of money wrapped around your waist, don't come in the door.

This is a popular nursery rhyme in the imperial capital. Although it is a bit exaggerated, it can also be seen that the threshold of Baihualou is not ordinarily high.

In the evening, the night has not yet fallen. The Baihualou on the riverside has been lit up early, indicating that the most prosperous and lively moment of the day is coming.

Luxurious carriages gathered from all directions, and they were constantly parked on both sides of the gate of this gold cave. By the time it was punctual, it was already full.

There are three floors in the Hundred Flowers Building. The hall on the first floor entertains ordinary guests, as long as they enter the door, the minimum consumption per person is ten gold yuan.

Ten gold dollars can be exchanged for 100 silver dollars, which is enough for the living expenses of ordinary families for two or three months. However, in this Baihualou, it can only be regarded as the minimum consumption.

The second floor entertains distinguished guests. Those who are qualified to go up are all masters with a lot of money. Buying a joy overnight, the money for wine and food plus the lady who accompanies the music, it costs thousands of gold yuan!

As for the third floor, according to the rules of Baihualou, it is not possible to go up with money. Only the powerful and wealthy people with prominent families and respected status in the city are eligible to climb to the top floor of the Hundred Flowers Building, enjoy the personal service of the most beautiful Oiran, and kiss the fragrance.

Around seven o'clock. Night is falling.

A carriage came galloping in. Pedestrians on the street saw it and avoided it. The reason is simple, the car is a good car, gilded top. The cart was pulled by four black mastiffs, one of which was as strong as an ox and was extremely ferocious. The driver is a big man, wearing a warrior's uniform, majestic.

In the imperial capital, driven by capable warriors, the star beast black mastiff pulls the cart, which is either rich or expensive. Whoever doesn't get hit by it for a long time will definitely be unlucky.

Therefore, passers-by on the street consciously dodged and dodged.

The car drove along the street until it stopped at the gate of Baihualou. Subsequently, two men walked out of the car, one was an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy, wearing the most popular tuxedo in the aristocratic circle of the imperial capital, with three-inch long and short hair combed to shine brightly, and full of spirit. The other was about thirty years old, polite and polite, like a butler's attendant.

"Your guest is coming—"

A shout. From the door of Baihualou, two young people trotted over. Baihualou flying eaves flow tiles, antique, the overall architectural pattern is dominated by retro style. The person in charge of welcoming guests is also wearing an antique cyan gown, which looks very old-fashioned.

"Young master, are you coming to my Baihualou for the first time, or are you a regular guest?"

The two welcomes were very professional. One of them, with a strong driver, went to the fenced area not far from the side, so that the black mastiff pulling the cart would not startle the horses of the other guests. The other nodded at the most richly dressed boy among the visitors.

"For the first time!"

The young man smiled and said, "What is there to introduce, if you can satisfy Bao Ye, you will be rewarded!" ”

This young man is naturally Fang Xiaobao. As for the entourage, except for Zhang Biao and Ma Wenfang, plus his right-hand man, he will all be dispatched tonight.

There are six ranks of nobles: duke, marquis, uncle, son, male, and knight. The Jazz are undoubtedly at the bottom. Commoners have accumulated a certain amount of wealth, and they can spend money to buy the knighthood. But if you want to continue to be promoted, even if it is a barony to a higher level, it is not something that can be done by spending money.

Either accumulate military merits, or not be an official in politics, or inherit the hereditary. This is a prerequisite for the five nobles above the knight.

The knighthood is easy to obtain, but the five nobles are hard to find. In the eyes of the common people, Sir belonged to the ranks of the aristocracy. But in the eyes of the five nobles, Jazz is a bunch of nouveau riche pseudo-aristocrats, difficult to get into the hall of elegance, and disdain to intersect.

Therefore, except under special conditions, it is difficult for Jazz to break into the real aristocratic circle. This is also the main reason why Goldkin's connections stop at Jazz.

Of course, his master was a real nobleman, and a great nobleman. The head of the Gao family is a hereditary marquis. The children will become viscounts when they reach adulthood, and they will also receive royal rewards when they start a family in the future, inherit the title, and inherit the title.

But even if Fang Xiaobao wants to expand his connections, he will not take Gao Yue's path. For this eldest lady of the Gao family, he didn't want to have any intersection.

Of course, even if he wanted to, the other party would not agree.

Because of this, Gao Dejin came up with a second solution, which was to suggest that Fang Xiaobao come to Baihualou for fun. The reason is very simple, Baihualou is the most famous gold cave in the imperial capital, and the aristocratic and wealthy merchants are concentrated. If you have nothing to do, if you're lucky, you might be able to make friends with one or two real nobles.

Fang Xiaobao adopted the other party's suggestion. A few days later, I came to Baihualou tonight with my right-hand man. I plan to see what the famous gold cave of the imperial capital is.

Since it came with a purpose, the preparation was sufficient. Fang Xiaobao's own behavior is not to mention, Zhang Puma Wenfang, the two right-hand men, have been carefully dressed up tonight and have a good appearance.

The subordinates are still like this, as the master. Of course, Fang Xiaobao is full of aura, which makes people feel extraordinary at a glance.

The guy in charge of welcoming the guests was obviously shocked, and said respectfully: "Young master, do you know that my Baihualou has three uniques?" ”

"Oh, let's hear it!" Fang Xiaobao nodded with interest. Ma Wenfang, who was standing beside him, immediately took out a money bag. I checked it in my hand, and the money bag 'rattled', and there were at least hundreds of gold dollars in it.

The welcome man's eyes lit up. He had a hunch that the young master in front of him was definitely a generous high-roller. Subsequently, he hurriedly introduced.

"The first must, my Baihualou's unique secret Baihua Aging."

The welcome guy was articulate and gushed out: "This wine collects hundreds of flowers, dries them with adult wine, and stores them in the cellar for three years. ”

Gimmick!

Fang Xiaobao didn't think so, and then asked, "What about the second one?" ”

The welcome guy pointed to the top floor, and said with a smile on his face: "Climb the tall building, lean on the window and look at the night view of Weishui, the bright moon in the heart of the river, the water and the sky are the same color, the beautiful scenery is wonderful, it is a must-have!" ”

Those who come to visit the kiln don't look at the girl to see the scenery, it's another gimmick!

Fang Xiaobao continued to give bad reviews, and then asked: "What about this third master?" ”

"The third absolute?"

The welcome man said with a thief on his face, "Hundred flowers are blooming in the Hundred Flowers Building, and the beauties are like clouds, among which the four most famous Oiran, all of them have the appearance of a closed flower and a shy moon, which is the third must!" ”

Look at this guy's eyebrows fluttering, his face is cheap, and he talks well, which makes people feel unspeakably weird. Fang Xiaobao didn't think much about it, and blurted out the final evaluation: "A kiln is a kiln!" With so many gimmicks, what kind of bird is there!"

Belch! As soon as the man heard such vulgar words, it actually came from the mouth of the young master in front of him, who looked very aristocratic, and he was suddenly like eating a fly, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

"Reward!"

Fang Xiaobao gave a look. Ma Wenfang, who was standing beside him, immediately threw the money bag in his hand to the welcome guy.

"Thank you, young master! Thank you, young master! ”

The dude is a veteran. Take the money bag and count the amount. At least a hundred gold yuan reward, which he can't touch once in a few years. For the vulgar words of the high-roller in front of him, he had long been forgotten, bent over his knees, and thanked him with a sneering smile on his face.

"Meaningless! If you can make you happy tonight, there will be a big reward! ”

Fang Xiaobao is full of pride. Mouthed at this guy Nunu and motioned for the other party to lead the way.

The man was overjoyed, nodded and stretched out his hand: "Young master, please ...... here You can rest assured, the little one will be waiting for you tonight, and you will be satisfied! ”
