Xiao Tao said slowly: "The second story, last year, two officials in Huangzhou fought for an official prostitute, which alarmed the imperial court, and the emperor demoted the two of them by three levels and fined them for one year. "Let's just look at Fu Yin Dao." The workshop is a lowly place, a place that adults look down on but can't leave. The girls in the workshop are as thin as paper and as cheap as firewood, but the adults who come here are either rich or expensive, and they are all pillars of the imperial court. Adults are not exempt from responsibility. After all, Nanchang Mansion is the land of adults. ”

"How dare you talk to this official like that?!" Fu Yin snorted vigorously, looking at Xiao Tao's face a little red, but he had to admit that Xiao Tao was right. The workshop is a place where officials gather, and no one looks good when something happens.

"Don't dare." Xiao Tao's voice was faint, "It's just that now the teaching workshop in Nanchang Mansion has made Huai Sleeve have to speak." The management is chaotic, there is no distinction between prostitutes, and the girls of the prostitute and the singers and dancers are mixed together. The guests who came also lost their rules, prostitutes were used as prostitutes, and prostitutes were also used as prostitutes, didn't this force good people to become prostitutes? Besides, the officials can come, the squires can come, and in a few days, will the ordinary people also come? Are official prostitutes secret, and everyone serves? If the emperor knew about this. I don't know how earth-shattering. ”

Fu Yin's brows furrowed, it was not that he didn't know these things, but he didn't think it was a big deal, but what Xiao Tao said before seemed to be reasonable. A few official prostitutes had a good time. Can it still make Long Yan angry? Jaytuba.

Xiao Tao saw that Fu Yin didn't speak. continued: "This thing doesn't seem like a big deal, I just said that the workshop is a lowly place, but if it is not well managed, it will cause a lawsuit sooner or later, and it will not be a black veil that can afford it." ”

Fu Yin frowned and thought for a while, and asked, "Then according to the girl's opinion, what should I do?" "The voice is much less disrespectful than before. Xiao Tao's words penetrated into it, even if he didn't understand the doorway of the workshop. I also heard the stakes. I also have to admire Xiao Tao's eloquence.

Xiao Tao looked at Fu Yin and said sincerely: "Since I was appointed by His Majesty to teach the Sanpin Palm Dance of the Sect, and I have arrived in Nanchang Mansion, I naturally have to do my part well." The teaching workshop in Nanchang Mansion must be changed. The courtyard should be trimmed, prostitutes should be separated, and the front and back yards should be strictly distinguished. In addition, those who enter and exit must bring an official's fish bag or handwritten letter to enter. Therefore, there are two things that Huai Sleeve asks for adults, one is money and the other is people. ”

"How?" Fu Yin asked further.

"The silver for repairing the courtyard is about 1,000 taels, and it is good if it can be transferred from the house, and if the adults are in difficulty, Huai Sleeve will write to the court and transfer some silver to the emperor; As for people, there must always be a few priests in the brothel, and now there are no more priests left in the brothel in Nanchang Mansion, and adults need to help deploy or recruit some. As for the expenses of the brothel, the brothel will be responsible. Xiao Tao took out a folded piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Fu Yin.

Fu Yin opened it and looked at it, and couldn't help but gasp, the fine and dense words on the paper had already listed the detailed payments, there was a basis for listing, and the amount was also written after the price inspection of Nanchang Mansion, it was really meticulous that I couldn't find a little fault, and the most amazing thing about Fu Yin's case was the handwriting on the paper, which was really beautiful, and the iron painting and silver hook looked like a man's penmanship, Fu Yin couldn't help asking: "Who is the girl looking for to write such a good word?" ”

Xiao Tao smiled: "The adult has won the prize." I can't put this on the table. ”

When Fu Yin heard this, he was even more impressed with Xiao Tao. Reluctantly read Xiao Tao's words again, and gave Xiao Tao a rare smile: "The silver taels and guards that the girl needs will be sent one by one in a few days." Rest assured, girl. "It's just a thousand taels, and if Xiao Tao is asked to report to the court again, it will be too ugly.

Xiao Tao bowed her head and thanked Lord Yin again, and then left without hurrying. Looking at Xiao Tao's back, Fu Yin checked the paper in his hand again, and couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips.

In less than ten days, Fu Yin sent ten priests to Xiao Tao, two of whom were sent from the government office, and the remaining eight were recruited. And the amount of silver needed to repair the courtyard was to be paid from the accounts of the officials, not limited to one thousand taels.

Xiao Tao began to trim in a big way. With the ready-made model of Huayuefang, Xiao Tao almost didn't need to think about it, and she could divide the courtyard into regional functions, and what methods the girls used to manage them, all of which were all a belly of experience. Xiao Tao couldn't help but smile bitterly at this moment, although she didn't want to be an official prostitute, she really practiced the ability to be an official prostitute.

Xiao Tao named the brothel here "Red Sleeve Move", and the west side is a prostitution door, with an independent courtyard and independent management. Prostitutes are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and they are priced one by one. On the east side is a brothel, three or four times larger than the west side, the front hall is a place for performances, eating, and drinking, and the back two courtyards are a place for overnight and long-term stays. Guests entering and exiting for the first time must bring a fish bag or a handwritten letter stamped with the official's seal to enter.

Xiao Tao is very dedicated to the choreography of singing and dancing, whether it is lyrics or movements, she personally supervises them. Xiao Tao also improved it in addition, and for many days in a row, there were silk fans, sachets, and so on. As a result, guests flock to it.

Xiao Tao sometimes leaned on the door of the red sleeve move, and couldn't help but want to laugh at herself, so she couldn't help but grin, laugh and laugh, tears couldn't help but fall, and her heart was empty and painful. Over the years, from Yunwan Village to Jinling to Kaifeng to Nanchang Mansion, nothing has accompanied her for a long time, except for her dancing skills and the skills of an official prostitute.

Xiao Tao's prestige in the red sleeves is also very high, the girls and the priest needless to say, only obey, the old woman who was in charge of the work also ended up idle, no longer worry about everything, only hide in the backyard and play the leaf card to get by. Xiao Tao has no other requirements for the girls, so that she is not afraid of temper, but her kung fu must be solid, whether it is singing, dancing, or musical instruments, she must be able to handle it. These skills are close to each other, and wherever they go, they have food to eat.

Xiao Tao found that from the perspective of being in charge, it was indeed very different from being a girl, who was not good at looking at people's faces and flattering and smiling, but now she is also very familiar, and not only is she skilled, but she can also teach the girls. Xiao Tao was a little helpless about her changes. But there is one thing, in the red sleeves, no guest is allowed to force the girl to do something unacceptable. This also made the girls grateful.

Xiao Tao spread the news that the brothel was thriving in Nanchang Mansion to Li Yu's ears, and he couldn't help but admire, such a woman can live like a prairie fire wherever she puts it.

The days passed quickly, and the first month of the third year of Qiande soon arrived. The New Year in Nanchang Mansion is also very lively, and the business of the red sleeves is also very good. Xiao Tao can only rest when he is busy every day. When I returned to the house, I pounded my sore waist, looked at the peach blossoms on my neck that had faded in color, and opened the box, only to find that the paint had run out. Xiao Tao knocked the box and sighed.

There was a laugh at the door: "This gift is called a coincidence." ”

Xiao Tao turned her head to see that she was holding a box and was leaning against the door to look at Xiao Tao with a hearty smile. Xiao Tao was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly stood up and ran over: "Why did you say that you came suddenly?" ”

The statement walked in and handed the box to Xiao Tao: "It's not a token for you." ”

Xiao Tao's face turned red, and when she opened the box, it was still bright rouge cream. Xiao Tao put the rouge paste aside, hurriedly asked the statement to sit down, and ordered someone to serve tea and snacks, and asked carefully if the statement went smoothly.

After chatting for a while, Xiao Tao asked, "Is Gongzi Qi okay?" ”

The statement glanced at Xiao Tao and said, "You finally asked about the subject." Eh, I found that you have changed, you used to ask him if he was okay when you saw me in the first sentence, why did you talk to me for a long time today before asking? ”

Have it? Xiao Tao was a little stunned, she didn't pay attention to this. I just think that Mr. Qi should be good. Xiao Tao pursed her lips and smiled: "If he was not good, you must have said it earlier." ”

"Qubble." The statement looked at Xiao Tao and pouted, "You're not as hot as you used to be for Zisuke." Did you change your mind? Say. The statement quipped.

"Nope!" Xiao Tao subconsciously retorted, but then her heart ached, hot? She was long past her fiery age. And for Qi Gongzi, is it useful to be hot? It's not that I haven't heard from you for years after I wait. She's used to it, too. Xiao Tao smiled: "I'm already this age, how can I still be hot?" Besides, has Qi Gongzi asked you about me? ”

"That's different. He "stated that although Qi Zhengxiu did not inquire about Xiao Tao from anyone, he wrote a letter to Nanchang Mansion Yin to explain that he would not have counted the silver if it had not fallen so quickly; He had also come to Nanchang Mansion in person, but the red sleeves made him look at the familiar Qing Yuwei outside only a few times from a distance and hurried back. I wanted to say everything about the statement, but Qi Zhengxiu repeatedly told him not to say it, and the statement was held back for a long time before he spit out a sentence: "If he doesn't inquire, it doesn't mean that he doesn't care about you." ”

"You're the quibble." Xiao Tao smiled indifferently, "But Mr. Qi has something to do, I can understand." I'm grateful for remembering to make rouge cream for me. She said it sincerely. The statement could not be answered at the moment. I just chatted with Xiao Tao for a long time.

Xiao Tao arranged a side room for him in the backyard, and said with a smile: "Do you need to find a girl to serve you?" He gritted his teeth angrily. Xiao Tao smiled and ran away.

The Southern Tang Dynasty, which had been in Qiande for three years, was still calm. But for Hou Shu and the Great Song Dynasty, it was not like that. The Great Song Dynasty began to gradually encroach along the southwest direction of the territory, and after swallowing Jingnan and Hunan in the first two years, the first month of the month wiped out Houshu in the south of Jinghu. Later Shu Emperor Meng Chang and a group of concubines were escorted to Kaifeng Mansion. As a result, only the Southern Tang, Wu Yue and Southern Han were left.
