Wang Han but in Tokyo, every Friday every month to Zheng Juzhong's house as a guest, Zheng Guifei is also there, one or two times in the first year of the new year there is no abnormality, waiting three times Zheng Juzhong feels that something is wrong, these two tryst choose their own home, once the matter is revealed, they will not escape the blame.

talked to Wang Han and asked Wang Han to cut off contact with the concubine, so as not to get into trouble.

Wang Han didn't like it after hearing it, but he also felt that it made sense, in the long run, it was inevitable that he would be gossiped about, but where could the concubine not go, he had many things to rely on the concubine, especially the thoughts and actions of the official family, Cai Jing put a lot of eyes and ears in the palace, and Wang Han also wanted to follow suit.

The difference is that Cai Jing used financial bribes, while Wang Han used his body to consume.

If you can't go to Zheng Juzhong's house, how can you meet the concubine? Do snitches every night? The slightest misstep can set you on fire.

Later, I agreed with the concubine that I would meet every Friday in the old house of Xiaoyu Street, where the distance from the palace was only 500 meters, a few steps away, located in a remote and quiet place, it was a good place to meet.

In order to cover people's eyes and ears, Wang Han changed the house into a study, and put a lot of calligraphy and painting in it, all of which were obtained by Li Qingzhao from the bookstall in the past, and decorated it into a manor tea ceremony.

Wang Han does not have this talent, but Li Qingzhao has, and he is very particular about the tea ceremony. In addition, Xu Yourong's comic strips sell very well, and the printing factory is located in Xiaoyu Street, and some readers who can't wait for publication will come to ask, and the concubine is also among them.

Every Friday of every month, the concubine has to come to see the story in person, so she closes her door and does not receive other guests. In fact, Wang Han wrote the script for the comic book, and he is the real Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng. He wrote the script to ask for seclusion, and everyone stayed away from it, so he hid from his wife and concubines at home.

The two of them had a better time this day, and the concubine softened half of her body, hugged Wang Han's neck and said, "It would be great if I could get along with you every day." ”

Wang Han said: "This matter is difficult, and it is not easy to enter and exit the palace. ”

The concubine said: "If you can dig a passage underground for you and me to come and go, isn't this matter simple?" ”

Digging tunnels in the palace?!

Wang Han was taken aback, this woman was not only bold, but also full of whimsical ideas. Think about it carefully, in the middle and late stages of Huizong, he often went out of the tunnel to play outside with prostitutes, where is that tunnel?

Ask the concubine, is there an authentic in the palace?

The concubine said: "There are only waterways, no tunnels." Then he laughed, "I'm just talking, digging tunnels in the palace to get outside, who would be so bold." ”

Wang Han replied: "Unless the official family is himself, others will not dare." ”

The concubine asked, "Why do the officials dig tunnels in the palace?" ”

Wang Han said: "It's convenient to come out and play at night." ”

The concubine asked again, "Why do you come out to play at night?" "Confused," aren't there enough show girls in the palace? ”

Wang Han said: "No matter how many beautiful women in the palace are, they are all flattering to him, but the women outside are different and have a different flavor." ”

The concubine's eyes rolled and smiled, "That's what you said, is it better for your wife to be someone else's?" ”

Wang Han haha, the concubine reached out and twisted his ears, "You are a thief bold, even the official family dares to entertain, I am not afraid that the official family will know and cut your tongue." ”

……

……

Tokyo is very cold in winter, and most of the heating is charcoal, ordinary people use charcoal at home, the fire is not strong, and the smell of bituminous coal is also big, so the heating in the palace is charcoal, but now it is built repeatedly, and the wood around Tokyo is almost cut down, and the charcoal has to be transported from the southern mountains and forests, which is extremely inconvenient.

Seeing that winter is approaching, this year's share of charcoal has not yet been distributed, and some show girls complained about the cold in the palace, and the official family asked the queen, why has the charcoal not been issued?

The queen replied that this year, there were 500 more show girls in the palace, the share of charcoal increased, and the stove had to be customized separately, so it would be a few days later. He added: "Now that the harem is warm, the monthly sales are three times more than in previous years." ”

The queen complained that the emperor married too many women, and the emperor thought that the emperor was frugal and asked people to hurry up and procure. It just so happened that Concubine Zheng Guifei came and took over the queen's words, "If you want to reduce expenses for heating, the concubine has a way, I heard that Zhao Lingwu's family uses a fire tunnel for heating, no charcoal is needed, it is convenient and fast, and the heat dissipation is even." ”

Heating by fire? But it was a new thing, Zhao Ji personally went to Zhao Lingwu's house to see it, and then he knew that he had dug a lot of tunnels at home, and according to the principle of the Northwest Fire Kang, he turned his home into a large Fire Kang. It is to dig a tunnel under the house, pave fire bricks, and design it into a nine-curved corridor with thirteen turns, with smoke exhaust outlets and air intakes, so that the heat passes through the underground of the house, so as to warm the house.

Zhao Ji had a meal at Zhao Lingwu's house, sweating in the heat of winter, and took off several clothes. After returning, he explained to the Ministry of Industry that the palace would also build an underground fire tunnel.

To build a fire road, only Zhao Lingwu can produce drawings, and only he understands this. Zhao Lingwu took the drawings and explained to the official family that this kind of fire path is more complicated, and the area that has been built cannot be constructed, but the newly built Yanfu Palace is feasible.

The official said: "It is enough for Yanfu Palace to have a fire channel, mainly because the harem concubines are afraid of the cold, and the hundred officials can use the brazier in the court." ”

Zhao Lingwu also said that although geothermal heat is convenient, but there are also potential safety hazards, once a fire occurs, the harem is flammable, and it is difficult to fight fires. That is, dig a tunnel to the outside moat.

In addition, just in case, there must be an escape tunnel, in case the fire cannot be controlled, people can enter and exit through the tunnel. And the most convenient place of the secret passage is where the official family is located.

All kinds of tunnels, twists and turns, Zhao Ji was dazzled, and only let Wang Han decide for himself. It was during this period of time that the Tokyo Alum Tower held an Oiran competition, and the literati and all went to cheer, among which the confidante supported by Zhou Bangyan of Dasheng Mansion overwhelmed the crowd and won the first place.

The woman's name is Li Shishi, just fourteen, born with a good voice, singing Zhou Bangyan's noun "Youth Swimming and Knife Like Water", which was famous in Tokyo for a while.

It happened that the official family was promoted to the Pinglou to give a banquet, Zhao Lingwu praised in public, how beautiful and talented Master Li is, this woman is only in the sky, it is rare to see it a few times in the world, one more is fat, and one less is thin. The peony flower died, and it was a pity that he couldn't compose lyrics, but if he had a little bit of literary talent, he would also go to the alum building to play a trick and taste the taste of Master Li.

Zhao Lingwu is a well-known native bun in the capital, he said that he has no literary talent, but all he sings in the tile hook column are his songs, what sister sits on the bow of the boat, above the moon, the temptation of Lang, the passionate desert, once you, etc., etc., it can be said that Zhao Lingwu has led the current fashion wave in Tokyo and has become the sought after object of the streets and alleys.

However, those who pursued him were uneducated peddlers and pawns, and those who were literary and could write poetry looked down on him, thinking that his lyrics were straightforward and vulgar, and the tunes were strange and not beautiful enough.

Therefore, the upper class people in Tokyo say that he is a vassal and elegant, and he is a strong culture, but in fact, he is only a crooked talent. Everyone didn't appreciate Zhao Lingwu's literary brilliance, but when it came to women, they all admired him, saying that he was the first person in the ages and the best at playing.

Zhao Lingwu can play more?

He asked hundreds of women in the brothel to stand in a row, blindfolded themselves, and touched them one by one with their hands, just by touching the size and softness, he could know who the owner's name was, and the game was named Blind Man Touching the Elephant. The other is to smell the fragrance and know the woman, and know who the woman is by the smell. There are also some vulgar and shameless people who can't speak, all of them despise him, but they all yearn for him.

Despise his vulgarity and yearn for his daring.

Even if it was in front of the official, he made no secret of it, talking about the beauty of the famous Oiran in the alum building, what a line of sky, camel toes, small pepper meat, listening to Zhao Ji in the clouds, calling him over, chatting carefully, sure enough, Zhao Ji's curiosity was aroused, and he wanted to visit the alum building.

As soon as Zhao Ji went, he fell in love with Master Li and could never forget it, especially her innocence, which was completely different from the women in the palace.

Zhao Ji asked around, can you bring this person back to the harem?

Liang Shicheng said that the official family wants it, but it is not simple.

Wang Han snorted twice and objected, "Master Li is the signboard of Alum Tower, and the official family wants it, but I'm afraid the price is not low." ”

Zhao Ji asked how much.

Liang Shicheng estimated, "100,000 should be enough." ”

Wang Han glanced at Liang Shicheng, "Two million." ”

Zhao Ji listened to a clever voice: "So expensive? A woman can support me with an army. ”

Liang Shicheng was not convinced, "General Zhao's words are bad, no matter how good the beauty is, it is only ten years of youth, why is it so sky-high?" General Zhao said that she was so noble, couldn't it be...... What does it matter? ”

said, "I've heard that Master Li's long-sleeved dance comes from the Xuannu." ”

Zhao Ji immediately glared at Wang Han.

Wang Han replied: "There is a dancing girl in my family who is also from Alum Tower, I taught her some movements to flatter the guests, and the dancing girl thought it was good, so she taught it to the teacher." As for me, I have nothing to do with her. ”

Liang Shicheng thought about it, and said in a strange manner: "Since the official family wants it, shouldn't General Zhao relieve your worries?" ”

Zhao Ji also said: "That's right, if you want to talk about other national affairs, I may ask others to solve it, but beauty is related, it seems that only the Lingwu brothers in the whole Tokyo can be called the top." ”

This is ridiculing Wang Han, saying that he once drowned people in a pit in order to rob women. Since Wang Han has this ability, he wants a woman, isn't it a minute?

Wang Han was angry, and he didn't look at Liang Shicheng, he just pretended to think, and then said, "There is a way, but it is more troublesome, let me tell my brother in private." ”

Zhao Ji only thought it was a good idea, but the result was that while the harem was building a fire road, it was better to dig a tunnel and go straight to Wang Han's house on Xiaoyu Street, change his clothes at night, and go outside to sleep for prostitution.

Think about it, no matter how good this Master Li is, once he enters the palace, he will inevitably be the same as other women, serving with a servile face and knees, and losing his original vitality and brilliance, so what is the difference between other women?

As the saying goes, wow, the house flower has the fragrance of wild flowers, and it is more comfortable to play with a woman as a civilian. Zhao Ji thought about it for a while and agreed.

It's just that you have to go down the dark road, you have to have a confidant around you, and you have to plan this matter well.
