Chapter 66: The Three Songs of the East Circle Reunite
In the evening of the same day, Li Yu took Xue An, who had returned to his home to serve as a nurse, from the south gate to Pingkangfang, and came to the vicinity of Sanqu with a familiar car.
As a wealthy child from the Hou Mansion, Li Yu is not very unfamiliar with this area.
This place is essentially still a gathering of dignitaries, but the most famous thing in the workshop is neither the princess's mansion nor the Yanghua Temple, but the Donghui Sanqu where the characteristic industry is located, where the prostitutes are located, and the people of the time called this place the place of "Merry Yazawa".
Pingkangfang from the north gate and into the east back to the three songs, that is, the place where the prostitutes live, there are Zheng Zheng among the prostitutes, mostly in the south of the song, along the wall a song for the despicable prostitutes to live, quite two songs despise it. (Excerpt from "Beili Chronicles" written by Tang Sundi)
Wang Renyu of the fifth dynasty also recorded this in "The Remains of Kaiyuan Tianbao": "Chang'an has Pingkangfang, where prostitutes live, where Kyoto heroes and young people gather, and new jinshi every year, and travel among them with red famous paper. ”
Daqian built the holy capital with the drawings of Chang'an City, and also arranged the characteristic industries in these three songs, so it became a place of drunkenness.
At this time, the lanterns are on at the beginning of the day, and the lanterns along the street are hung in the air corridor, which embellishes the whole street.
Instead of being deserted as the curfew approaches, the streets have become more and more crowded.
Heroes and heroes, dignitaries, rich businessmen and magnates from all walks of life gathered, taking advantage of the nightlife has not yet begun to enjoy singing and dancing in the vicinity, enjoy food, there are also groups of three or five together to drink tea, hang out and shop, everywhere shows a group of singing and dancing to rise to the level of the peaceful and prosperous scene.
There are no poor people in this kind of place, and almost every guest is arrogant and extraordinary, and the slave guards who follow them are all dressed in gold and silver, and they are gorgeously dressed, and they have a style that is not ordinary with the small people of the city.
The horse stopped, and the little guy who had already been prepared nodded and greeted him, helping to lead the horse away, Li Yu saw several people waiting at the door at a glance, and when he saw himself coming, he stretched his eyes and raised his eyebrows, it was the peak who had solved the fox bride case together before, Yu Liang, Fang Hong, Fan Renyong and others.
"Everyone looks good, it looks like you've recovered your spirits in the past few days off."
"Brother Guanyun said that we laughed, we didn't do much at all, and we didn't need to recuperate, so what do we need to recuperate?"
"I see, it's not that Brother Shangjin doesn't need to recuperate, but when he heard that he was going to come to this Pingkangfang to drink, he was refreshed."
"Hahahaha......"
After a few jokes, everyone happily walked towards the mansion where the fourth and fifth families in the east were located.
This place is Yang Miaoer's residence, Yang Miaoer was originally a famous prostitute in Beijing, retired as a fake mother after old age and decay, and raised four daughters at home.
The eldest daughter is called Lai'er, Yu Pengxian, and her appearance is not very good, but she is clever and witty, which can be used as a correction.
The second daughter is called Yong'er, the word Qi Qing, graceful to Lai'er, no other power, but I see pity.
The third daughter is called Ying'er, who is not only lacking in richness, but also clumsy and bantering, and has many energetic words to disagree with the guests.
The four daughters are called Gui'er, the least, but Mu Lai'er is a person, and she is more elegant than welcome.
In fact, not all of these characteristic industries in Daqian are skin and meat businesses.
On the contrary, the skin and meat business is only the lowest and lowest end of the entire industrial chain, and only the song that follows the wall near the wall of the three songs will be openly bought and sold.
Although the word prostitute is often used together, it is not a Qinglou as a template, but a high-end club.
What the dignitaries and nobles lack is not the happiness brought by the meat business, but a feeling.
A feeling similar to being in love, like being in love.
The spiritual enjoyment brought by this kind of free love is what feudal society lacks the most.
Although the daily life of high-end prostitutes is to usher in and send them, most of them are Qing people, who never stay overnight, and only accompany them to drink and listen to music, guess the order, and compose poems.
The entertainment of these literati was quite popular in the holy capital, so Li Yu chartered it to entertain a few friends for a drinking party.
After a while, everyone came inside, and the hall was quiet, the beaded curtains were falling, and the mattress and drapery were called yes, and a feast had been set up.
Yang Miaoer's family was flattering because Li Yu and others were handsome and golden, and even invited Wang Tuan'er, the first family in the west of the former song, to accompany Xiaorun, Fu Niang, and Xiaofu daughters.
After a while, the two mothers retreated, leaving their daughters to wait.
Li Yu looked around, and after Yong'er beside him poured himself a drink, he raised his glass with a smile and said, "Everyone, everything is in plain sight, we will drink this cup to the full!" ”
Everyone toasted and laughed and talked loudly.
Li Yu informed: "Although I was transferred to the secret vault, but the more important thing is that the official was promoted to the eighth level, and I was sent by a pacification envoy, and now my father is already helping me plan to confer the first general Xuanwu, transfer to the law enforcement hall, and send the deacon over there, this time it is in this name to come out to supervise the progress of the case, speaking of which, it can be regarded as the supervision of those two halls!" ”
Fang Hong said: "I will take care of the errand there first, but I don't plan to transfer it to other places. ”
Gao Feng said: "I have also been transferred to the secret vault, but it shouldn't last long, because it's almost time to go back to the Hanlin Academy." ”
Yu Liang said: "I also plan to get an errand in the Law Enforcement Hall this time, but instead of sending a team deacon like Brother Guanyun, I will go to the prison to serve as the head of the patrol team!" ”
Fan Renyong said with a faint smile: "I'm preparing to go to the Holy Capital, if I'm lucky, I should be able to find a hundred households." ”
Li Yu, Fang Hong, and the secret vault in Gao Feng's mouth is the most important place in the Lantai Institute, and the errand is to serve as a Tibetan officer, which is also a major gilded place, and in the future, as the director, the hall master and others will not lack this step.
As for the official rank, Li Yu was promoted to eight levels in a row, Fang Hong was promoted to seven levels in a row, and Gao Feng was originally born as a jinshi, and he also had a great future, and he would reach the rank of five or six officials at once.
These are all real rockets to the sky, and all at once to the end of other petty officials' lifelong pursuits.
In comparison, Yu Liang and Fan Renyong are far behind, but they are also better than ordinary petty officials.
Because the position of the town guard is subordinate to the Heavenly Prison Division, although he is only a small leader, the level of the Seven Rank General Banner, but it can be regarded as a three-level promotion in a row, and his wish has been granted.
Fan Renyong has been promoted five levels in a row, and he is finally expected to try 100 households to revive his family's reputation.
If it is operated properly, there will be a chance to do it to the real 100 households in the future.
Li Yuhao said angrily: "What else do you want to try, leave this matter to me, and I will help you find a head of the hundred households!"
But it may take a year and a half, and you first deign to continue to be your chief scribe and get some qualifications. ”
Fan Renyong was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly said: "Then it's disrespectful!" ”
Gao Feng couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Everyone gets what they want, and they all have a bright future."
Come, this cup, toast the future! ”
"Respect the future, drink to win!"
