Chapter 84 Qinglou meets scholars
This place is not as good as Shuzhou and Jingzhou, and compared to Yangzhou, they are a remote place.
In Taiyang City, the most prosperous street is Tianliuyuan, which is called Guangling Street.
From the girl's mouth, I learned that the most attractive thing about Tianliuyuan was not these ordinary girls, but their red-card geisha.
Geisha, as the name suggests, only sell their art and not their bodies.
Yangzhou is good water and soil, the earth is outstanding, and the girls have better skin and temperament than those in Jinyang City, which is good in temperament, a little less tacky, and a little more aura.
To use a modern term, it is "advanced".
It's also something that rich people like to play.
I heard that the girls said that one of their previous red cards was auctioned to two taels of silver on the first night of the auction, and finally they were bought home by 100,000 taels.
This is completely incomparable with Jinyang City, and the gap between this consumer class is still too big.
And their current red card Liu Xinying will hold an auction every night, and the price will be won, only selling her art and not her body, and she won 300 taels last night.
When Liu Xiao heard the news, the whole person also refreshed the three views, 300 two performances, unheard of, unseen.
Maybe this is what people call elegant, the "high-class" in the hearts of the ancients.
Liu Xiao was playing with a few girls, when he suddenly heard a person shouting from the side: "Brother Tai, do you want to have a table together?" ”
Liu Xiao looked at it, and a young man who looked like a scholar was looking at him from the side.
"Table?"
The scholar nodded, "I saw that my brother came to the stage one day, and I also came alone, wouldn't it be nice to get together at a table and play together?" ”
"Good!" Liu Xiao didn't say a word, and agreed directly, "Brother, please take a seat!" ”
The scholar boy clasped his fists and saluted, and sat down at the same table.
"Brother, you're also playing here?"
Liu Xiao nodded and said with a smile: "I live in Shuzhou, I heard that the girl from Yangzhou has eyes all over the country, so I came here to find out." ”
The scholar boy was surprised: "Shuzhou, that's four thousand miles away, it seems that Brother Tai's strength is not small." ”
The two of them chatted and became lively, it turned out that the scholar's name was Huang Chunsheng, who was from Wuzhou, and this time he came to Yangzhou to play, and he was also a person like Liu Xiao.
It's a pity that Huang Chunsheng didn't drink well, and after a few glasses, the whole person had already begun to spit out the truth after drinking, and explained all his family wealth to Liu Xiao.
This person is a disciple of Wuzhou's "Kuaidaomen", they are doing a dart business, and they happened to come to Yangzhou with a dart, so they secretly ran out to play.
Looking at his drunken appearance, Liu Xiao felt very funny, thinking about himself, how good it was that no one restrained him.
"Brother Liu, have another drink."
"Come again!"
Just when the two of them were full of wine and food, a master of ceremonies walked up.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for our Miss Liu's auction today."
As soon as the master of ceremonies finished speaking, the guests below were lined up, some applauded, and some urged the willow girl to come out.
Suddenly, there was a burst of floral fragrance, permeating the entire Tianliu Garden.
Liu Xiao knew with a kiss that this was a special pollen material, and the fragrance had been lingering for so long.
A woman slowly walked onto the stage.
After seeing this woman clearly, Liu Xiao understood what "clear water comes out of hibiscus, and it is natural to carve and decorate." ”
"Light eyebrows are like autumn water, jade skin with a light breeze."
It's not a realm of good looking, it's a unique temperament that can deeply captivate you just from the first glance. ”
Huang Chunsheng next to him was already stupid.
It stands to reason that Wuzhou and Yangzhou belong to the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Qinglou in Wuzhou will not be bad even if it is bad, why is this kid so out of shape.
Huang Chunsheng naturally wouldn't tell Liu Xiao that this was his first time coming to Qinglou, and he took the initiative to find Liu Xiao just to relieve the tension in his heart.
Even if you're drunk, you can't say it!
Liu Xiao looked up, and even the guests in the box walked out of the door and looked at Liu Xinying downstairs.
Come to think of it, some of them also want to participate in the auction.
At this time, the emcee's voice remembered again, "The starting price is 50 taels, and the minimum price increase is 10 taels each time." ”
"60 taels!" Someone in the crowd shouted.
"70 taels!"
"80 taels!"
……
"160 taels!"
The noise in the crowd was heard from the crowd.
After a while, it had been shouted to 250 taels.
"300 taels!" When everyone heard the voice, it was a man in a brocade robe and a yellow robe, shouting at the door, looking like he had just arrived.
"310 taels!" The man in the yellow robe thought that he had shocked everyone, but he didn't expect someone to continue to increase the price.
This person is none other than Huang Chunsheng next to Liu Xiao.
Although 300 taels is nothing to Liu Xiao, he doesn't think it's worth it just to drink tea and listen to a song that costs 300 taels.
"320 taels!"
The two shouted all the way, "400 taels!" ”
Liu Xiao couldn't help but remind: "Brother Huang, this price is too high, these girls next to you can call dozens of them." ”
Who knew that Huang Chunsheng said in a trembling voice: "No, such a beautiful girl, I must kiss Fang Ze up close." ”
Liu Xiao sighed and said in her heart: "It's still too young." ”
"450 taels!" As the man in the yellow robe continued to increase the price, it increased all the way to 450 taels.
The master of ceremonies said excitedly, "Distinguished guests, this has broken the record. ”
In the past, the highest auction was only 430 taels of silver, but this time it was auctioned for 450 taels.
When the yellow-robed man saw Huang Chunsheng's eyes, his disdain had turned into anger from the beginning.
He finally came to play once, but there was a kid who didn't know what to do, and he was already secretly thinking about how to teach this kid a lesson.
Liu Xiao was still quite shocked in her heart, in a place like Qinglou, some girls sell their bodies, and some sell their arts, but in addition to the dancers who are brought out by Liu Xiao, there are few girls who are beautiful and full of poetry and books.
As far as the No. 1 shop is concerned, the average girl sleeps for 15 taels overnight, the red card is 30 taels, and the geisha is similar to Reiza, and a song is 30 taels.
Ordinary geisha accompaniment is 8 taels at a time.
Looking at Yangzhou, Shuzhou is still too far behind.
In the end, the auction amount was terminated at 500 taels, and Huang Chunsheng fought to the end.
The master of ceremonies looked at Huang Chunsheng, and the whole person was very excited and excited: "Congratulations to this son for winning this auction." ”
"Brother Liu, I'll come when I go, you have to wait for me."
Seeing Liu Xiao take the lead in signaling, Huang Chunsheng got up and left.
