After the unification of opinions, we dressed up a little, the purpose was to try to make ourselves look more rich and temperamental, so we hung the valuable jade pendants of the Changgui family on our bodies, and even the curled hair and jade crown were high-grade mutton fat white jade. The most important thing is to bring enough silver taels to be able to be like a fish in water in Baihuafang, so the second master and Changgui have to donate generously.

I have always adhered to the principle of "rich friends spend, no money spends friends", and shamelessly spends my buddy's money.

Changgui brought his most faithful servant, the one who learned to crow in the morning, and I heard Changgui call him "happy to come". At first glance, it doesn't sound like a personal name, and no matter how many times you hear it, it doesn't feel like a personal name.

I asked who got the name of Joy Derai, since it was so dehumanizing.

Happy: The names of the people in the house are basically decided by the son.

I think about Changgui's level of education, and I sympathize with it in my heart.

I think my name is better than everyone else's.

I said, "What, what's worse?"

Happy: There are two of the worst, one is called Thunderbolt and the other is called Nick Crackling.

Speaking of which, I thought of Changgui once mentioned the issue of naming the baby who was about to be born, he said that if it is a boy, it will be called the king of kings, and if it is a girl, it will be called Wang Xiaowan, I suspected that this was the product of Changgui's extreme boredom when he squatted in the pit, and I couldn't understand the meaning of the name with my left and right.

I said: Your name is sloppy, and the king of kings can barely accept it, and the small bowl is too nonsense.

Changgui said: Hahahahaha, I think so, her mother is a big bowl, and her daughter is a small bowl. And my father said that the name should have a meaning, I expect her to eat less, don't eat as much as her mother, girls eat too much is not good-looking.

I said, "So you mean I'm very ugly?"

Changgui said: Brother, you are different from ordinary girls in my heart.

I don't understand.

Changgui said: You are not the same type as ordinary women, you belong to "An can distinguish that I am male and female".

As soon as these words came out, Changgui was inevitably beaten, and after the beating, he was praised by me, it is hard to imagine that Changgui can think of more advanced verses in addition to this kind of vocabulary, I think, it should be under my influence that there has been progress.

What worries me is that Changgui seems to be determined to name his child Zhongwang or Xiaowan, because he feels that this is the highest embodiment of his wisdom in this life.

The night is dark and the wind is cool.

Xide came to drive the carriage, and we seemed to sit in it casually, but in fact, our hearts were full of enthusiasm. Baihuafang was built in the easternmost part of Chang'an, some distance from Changgui's house, so much so that we had to take a horse-drawn carriage. For the sake of a harmonious marriage between married women and men, we have no choice but to make up some lies against our conscience to deceive Guan'er. Although we all know that this is a white lie, deception is deception, so the second master and I often meet together to repent.

After half an hour of bumps, my blood has been half cooled by the autumn breeze in the middle of the night. Luckily, we arrived at our destination before the blood cooled down.

After we jumped off the carriage one after another, we were happy to follow the security guard of Baihuafang to find a parking space for the carriage, and the guard charged a parking management fee of three taels of silver to park our carriage in a relatively spacious position, and looked around at the carriage of the same grade as ours.

Changgui pointed to the parking space diagonally opposite and said: The carriages of the princes and nobles are parked, the horses are all high-quality sweat BMWs, and the bodies are made of high-grade wood such as rosewood or golden silk nanmu.

I said, "It's really corrupt."

Changgui said: If you have money, you will definitely be more corrupt than them.

I turned my head to look at Changgui and fell into deep thought, how did this sound so familiar.

At this time, Xi Delai had already parked the carriage and hurried back, and we saw that he was even walking and running, and our hearts were in our throats, after all, all the belongings were handed over to him for safekeeping, and at this moment Xi Delai was the richest of us, and if he fled with the money, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Changgui reprimanded him: Don't move too much, what if you accidentally shake the money away?

Happy to say: Yes, don't worry, people are in the money, and the money is still there.

After speaking, he also took out a silver ingot from the crotch of his pants and kissed it.

Happy: It's windy outside, sons, go in.

We turned around and walked towards the gate, and looked up to see a long line on the left side of the door, which was the same as the crowd at the market.

Changgui said: Come with me to this entrance.

I asked: Why, is there another entrance?

Changgui said: The queue over there are all unofficial market people, and the right side is the entrance for the powerful.

I said, "Is there still occupational discrimination in this place?"

Changgui squeezed out a helpless smile.

Baihuafang has a total of six floors and is 18 meters high, making it the tallest building in Chang'an City. This gave me the urge to fly to the eighteen-meter-high roof to look down on the night view of Chang'an, who made me have a soft spot for climbing the roof. The wonderful thing is that the eaves of each floor are hung with colorful lanterns, all of which are written by well-known talents in Chang'an. Among them, there is also a light blue lantern painted by Gu Lang, a smash hit genius of the year, and the date of the inscription is nine years ago. However, there is no place for Gu Lang in today's literary world, just like Mr. Lu, he can't be evergreen after all.

The second master and I stood quietly at the entrance, waiting for Changgui to register his identity.

Changgui wrote on the register: name Wang Changgui, male, female-hobby, second-generation official, father is Wang Jili, a bachelor of Hanlin.

After confirming this, the steward in charge of registration asked me and the second master about our identities slightly.

Changgui said: One is the imperial doctor, the other is my eldest cousin, and the one behind is a domestic servant.

The steward nodded and took notes, and then sent a servant to wait for us to enter.

I said: I knew that your father was an official since I was a child, but I didn't expect it to be a bachelor of Hanlin, and I thought it was a small sesame official.

The second master said: I never thought of it.

Changgui said: You have not been interested in these, and I am not interested either, and I have not mentioned it if you have not asked.

I said, "Yes, but now I can suddenly understand your father's hatred of iron and steel."

Changgui said: Huh?

I said: Your father is so educated but gave birth to such an uneducated son as you, and my heart must be very sad.

Changgui said: Don't say that I am uneducated, I just hide it deeply.

I said: Brother, don't be obsessed, it's not terrible to be uneducated, and it's really terrible to insist on naming others without culture. Think of the thunderbolt and the uproar, think of Wang Xiaowan. Don't go to harm more people, there is no end to learning.

......

Entering the hall in the midst of small talk, a strong smell of rouge hit the nostrils and ran down the throat, making people flutter all at once. The fragrance is so strong and complex that even if the sense of smell is sensitive, it is difficult to sniff out which flavor of rouge is produced by which family.

I suddenly thought that the second master still owed me a box of the same rouge as Concubine Xiao, and I was secretly looking forward to it.

The servant asked, "I wonder how many floors the sons are going to?"

The second master and I looked at Changgui in confusion.

Changgui explained: The consumption of each floor is different, and the cheapest on the first floor generally consumes more than a dozen taels of silver, only for food and drink, not for entertainment. On the second floor, there are more dances and music, and the consumption is about dozens of taels of silver. You can eat, drink and have fun above the third floor, and there is not much difference in entertainment methods, mainly because of the difference between the environment and the girl. Consumption ranged from 1,000 taels of silver to 10,000 taels of gold.

I realized that it was women who burned the most money.

I asked: What floor is the girl in the red sleeves?

The servant said: "Back to the son, the red-sleeved girl only receives distinguished guests on the sixth floor.

I said, "Oh!

Changgui immediately leaned into my ear and whispered: Brother, you actually came for the red sleeves? cough, although the red sleeves are good, they are too expensive.

I asked: So how many do you have?

Changgui said: A thousand taels of silver.

I said, "Roger."

When the servant saw that we had finished deliberating, he asked, "I wonder what floor the sons have decided?"

I said, "Just the fourth floor."

The servant said, "Yes, sons, please come with me."

The staircase of Baihuafang is very distinctive, spiraling up from the first floor to the fourth floor. The servant said that there was another passage above the fourth floor to enter, and the specific details could only be told after consumption. In other words, without the guidance of the slaves, the average customer would not be able to reach the five or six floors. Despite this, customers from different walks of life spend reasonably according to their own purses, and they still have fun.

In my opinion, consumption has always been not divided into high and low, only how much. Baihuafang has both high-level and low-level customers, and different levels have different ways of consuming, in short, what money to spend and what treatment to enjoy.

I climbed the stairs and looked around, the decoration was luxurious and elegant, and the colors were warm, which looked very good. The middle part of the building goes straight up from the first floor, so the music from the first floor can be transmitted to the whole building, and the further you go, the more ethereal the music becomes.

In the corridor on the fourth floor, the slave explained a few words to another slave, and then said to us: Please pay eight hundred taels of silver first, and then pay another one when there is consumption.

When he heard that he was going to pay the money, he rushed forward with an arrow and took out silver taels from all over his body one after another.

Another servant said, "Sons, you can come with me first, I wonder which cabinet the prince likes?"

Changgui said: Lotus Pavilion.

I asked: What is Lotus Pavilion?

The servant said, "The furnishings and girls in each cabinet are according to the name of the cabinet."

The second master said: I guess the Lotus Pavilion should be as pure and elegant as the name.

Changgui said: Not bad.

The second master said: This is very good.

I asked: What is the name of the most unclean cabinet?

The slave was stunned for a moment and said, "Hui Gongzi, it's the Agni Pavilion."

Ah, a girl like fire, a room like a fire.

I said, "Why don't you try the Flame Pavilion?"

The slave was stunned again: Is the son in good health?

I have a weak heart: it should be fine.

The second master said: Lying, obviously the body is very weak.

The servant said, "That boy should be cautious, if the body can't bear us, we can't bear the responsibility."

I hear a nosebleed, my god is so exciting.

Changgui covered my mouth and said, "Don't listen to this kid, we want Lotus Pavilion!"

The second master agreed.

I'm against it.
