Hearing the sound of arrows entering the pot, the curvature of the corners of Xu Qi'an's mouth expanded uncontrollably, ripped off the black cloth, and pointed to the gold and silver ingots on the stall:

"Haha, old man, these are all mine. ”

Lao Dao glanced at him, calmly accepted the gold and silver ingots, and then pointed to the Bodhi bracelet and jade mirror at the top, and said with a smile:

"Childe, choose one of the two. ”

..... Xu Qi'an's tone of discussion: "Old Dao, I don't want these, I just want silver." ”

The old way ruthlessly refused: "The rules are the rules." ”

After a pause, he added: "These two are rare treasures, how can they be comparable to yellow and white vulgar things, and the prince should not be blinded by gold and silver." ”

No, I just want these mundane things... Xu Qi'an asked, "What is the purpose of the treasure?" ”

"I don't know, I just know that they are waiting for someone who is destined. "The old Taoist priest looks like a bachelor.

Xu Qi'an suspected that Lao Dao was lying to him, but there was no evidence, and considering his inexplicable luck, he was a little hesitant.

If the treasure is not a treasure, who can say for sure, how affordable the silver is.

At this time, a soldier came over and said, "This son, my master asks you for a favor." ”

Xu Qi'an turned his head to look at the luxury carriage not far away, "What does your master want?"

"That string of Bodhi beads. The armor man looked away from the stall and looked at Xu Qi'an: "My master is willing to give sixty taels of gold." ”

It turns out that my Emperor Ou should be here.... Xu Qi'an showed a warm smile on his face: "Thank you for not giving up, the deal." ”

He asked the armorer to pay a penny of silver in exchange for three arrows.

The soldier said, "The master said, you can cast a few more times, and we will pay for all the money." It's okay if you fail...."

As soon as the words fell, he saw Xu Qi'an, who was blindfolded, throwing arrows with his hands.

Knock knock... Three arrows were thrown into the pot with unmistakable precision.

The exclamation of passers-by came again.

The armor looked at Xu Qi'an's eyes, full of respect.

If one time is lucky, twice means that the other party is not an ordinary person, this seemingly ordinary young man, dressed as a scholar, but definitely a master.

Sixty taels of gold are in hand... Xu Qi'an was in an extremely happy mood, he tore off the black cloth, and happened to see the curtain of the luxury carriage falling in the distance.

.... I don't know what big guy is sitting in the car... He didn't dare to look at it more, turned around, and hugged his fist at the armorer: "Fortunately, I don't disgrace my life." ”

The soldier respectfully returned the salute with his fists, and then returned to the carriage, carrying a bulging bag of money.

Xu Qi'an took the money bag, took the jade mirror from Lao Dao, and watched the carriage leave.

He withdrew his gaze, casually took the palm-sized jade mirror into his arms, and then happily swelled his purse.

It's about three or four pounds, and it's too heavy to tie around your waist.

"No, I have to exchange it for a silver ticket, it's too stupid to carry such a heavy amount of gold with me...."

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look back, only to find that the old Taoist priest was gone, and the stall was cleaned up.

Xu Qi'an stood on the side of the road and was silent for a long time.

....

He went to the bankery again and exchanged the gold for four silver bills worth a hundred taels, one worth fifty taels, and three silver bills worth ten taels.

Gold is not in the monetary system, so it needs to be exchanged for the equivalent amount of silver, and then the money bank issues a silver ticket.

The ratio of gold to silver is 1:8, and sixty taels of gold is four hundred and eighty taels of silver.

Four hundred and eighty taels of silver is more than enough to slap your aunt's pretty face..... Why do you involuntarily think about using a silver ticket to fan your aunt every time you make money, and the original owner's resentment towards her aunt is too strong..... In addition, it is estimated that this silver can only buy a small courtyard in the inner city..... If you want to buy a three-entry mansion, don't want to take it down if you don't have 10,000 taels of silver.... Xu Qi'an was a little distressed.

Whether it's another world or a previous life, housing prices are a desperate thing.

"Four hundred and eighty taels, it should be enough to redeem a lower-grade Qinglou Oiran, but it's not cost-effective.

"You see, four hundred and eighty taels I can take turns in many Oirans for several months. And to redeem herself for an Oiran, not to mention exhausting her family wealth, she has to be responsible for her food and clothing. Accidentally getting pregnant with a cub is another big expense.

And my current salary is only enough to support a wife, and I can't afford to live the boring life of rich people. Besides, I won't ransom the Qinglou woman, the bus is used for private use, and the sky is thundering. ”

.....

At dusk, Xu Qi'an came to the famous Jiaofang Division in the capital, which was in an alley.

At the beginning of the lanterns, all kinds of carriages stopped outside the alley, and the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras came from the courtyard, and the moving singing voice of Qingyue came.

He knew that the beautiful nightlife began.

Walking on the road that extends in all directions in the hutongs, Xu Qi'an came up with the essence of culture that Wang Zhutou learned there.

A normal Qinglou is a two- or three-story building, with one or two annexes to it, which is quite a specification.

There is no such high-rise building in the Teaching Workshop Division, because there is no need for it, and the courtyard in the alley is the Teaching Workshop Division.

State-owned enterprises are so wealthy.

There is a threshold for the Teaching Division, and ordinary people cannot consume here, which is not a regulation, but the basic consumption of the Teaching Workshop Division is five taels of silver.

It's not about sleeping girls, it's about table fees.

Five taels of silver is equivalent to the income of ordinary people for several months, and it must be a solid family.

Therefore, there are three main types of customers of the Teaching Workshop Division:

First, the gentry giants.

This kind of guest is the most willing to spend money, because they have a low social status on weekdays, and they have a fanatical attachment to sleeping with the officials and their daughters.

Second, officials.

For them, the Teaching Department is a place for tea parties after work, and as long as there is entertainment, they like to go to the Teaching Division.

It is worth mentioning that officials of the Ministry of Rites can prostitute for nothing. Because the Department of Religion is under the control of the Ministry of Rites.

Three, readers.

This kind of person is more gentle than the gentry and giants, likes to recite poems against them, and is not difficult to serve as an official, so he is most liked by the girls of the Teaching Workshop.

There are also three types of girls in the Teaching Division:

First, the wife of the offender.

This kind of woman is the worst, forced to fall into the dust and be humiliated.

2. Girls taken captive during the war.

Not to mention far away, take the Battle of Shanhaiguan 20 years ago, when the Western countries and Dafeng were the victorious powers, and countless women were taken away from the north and south Xinjiang and filled into the sectarian departments of various states and provinces.

3. Prostitutes recruited by the Department of Corrections.

Such women are willing to become glorious seafood merchants, contributing to Dafeng's abalone business, and their spirit is valuable.

"It's really to live and learn, Wang Zhutou is my teacher...."Xu Qi'an sighed with emotion, and finally found the goal of this visit to the Teaching Division.

He stopped outside a courtyard with a plaque at the gate that read: Yingmei Pavilion

The courtyard gate is open, two red lanterns are hanging, and the courtyard is a plum tree, the branches are dotted with blooming flower bones.

A sixteen or seventeen-year-old porter boy was guarding the gate of the courtyard, looking at Xu Qi'an with scrutinizing eyes.

He is also known by another familiar name.

"In Yang Ling, a talented person in Xia Changle County, I have heard the name of the floating fragrance girl for a long time, and I came to visit. Xu Qi'an imitated the reader and spoke politely to the porter.

Kagemei Kokaku is the residence of Oiran Ukika.

The opening fee here costs ten taels of silver, which is twice as expensive as an ordinary courtyard.

There are a total of 12 Oirans in the Teaching Division, which are divided into four categories according to quality, rhyme, talent, and color.

The floating fragrance girl belongs to the first class and is known as the poetry and piano.

"Ten taels of silver. "The concierge guy who was used to seeing the eldest lord had a cold attitude, and after accepting Xu Qi'an's silver, he let him enter the courtyard.

Xu Qi'an was overjoyed, the sound of laughter and silk and bamboo in the courtyard came, and the tea circle had already begun, but since the porter boy let him in, it meant that the courtyard was not a charter, but a casual guest.

There are two modes for those who come out to play, one is a chartered venue, and the other is an individual customer.

If it is the former, Xu Qi'an is destined to be in vain today.
