() As the big city of the Longqing Empire, Cangwu City is also very lively at night. Many people walk in the streets and alleys, making it like daytime, with people coming and going.

To say that the most famous place in this Cangwu City is the flower full building, and its grandeur is not inferior to the ordinary palace courtyard.

Compared with its grandeur, its fame is even more thunderous, not to mention this Cangwu City, and even the entire Longqing Empire, as long as there are famous big people, almost all of them have heard of Hua Manlou.

It can be said to be the largest brothel in the Longqing Empire, a man's paradise, but it is not an ordinary brothel.

The reason why it has such a big reputation is that it has many beautiful women of all kinds, just by looking at a few glances, you can feast your eyes, especially flowers.

The so-called hundred flowers are the top 100 beauties elected by Huamanlou every year, they have a more noble identity and can decide whether to pick up customers or not.

Therefore, most of the people with flowers are selling their art and not selling their bodies, if they can be favored by any dignitaries and nobles in the future, they can marry a good place, and even jump into the dragon gate and become a nobleman.

Because of this, there are many women who marry into high-ranking officials and nobles from Huamanlou, and it is said that one of the emperor's concubines was born in Huamanlou. Because they have a noble status, most of them will return to Hua Manlou, which makes Hua Manlou bigger and bigger, and it has become a famous flower building in the Longqing Empire.

And with these nobles covered, Hua Manlou has become a big force, and even the lord of a city has to give face.

Fame is like this, once it comes out, people from all over the world will come to it.

The women who come here are all consciously talented, and they often rush to compete for the annual quota of flowers. Entering it means that half a foot has stepped into the door of a rich man's house.

The men who come here are either looking for flowers and willows, or admiring beautiful women, or looking for wives...... In short, it is either rich or expensive, and ordinary people can't get in.

The above has formed a virtuous circle, it can be said that Huamanlou brings together the beauties of the world, and also brings together the rich and noble people of the world.

The annual selection of flowers is enough to be brilliant, and even more brilliant is the monthly Oiran selection.

To be able to become an Oiran is naturally to be glamorous, and all women who meet the conditions can participate, including the women in the flowers.

This makes Oiran a veritable beauty, and once chosen, it often causes all men to coax.

Due to the above reasons, Cangwu City is famous for its flowers, and also gathers a lot of dignitaries and nobles because of its flowers, especially at night, the whole Cangwu City is like resurrected, the lights are brilliant, the liveliness is not reduced during the day, and the prosperity is not inferior to the imperial city.

Ma Fangyu secretly ran out of the inn, and he looked at these pedestrians walking on the street, most of them were well-dressed, either rich or expensive, which was difficult to see in other places.

This anomaly made the already keen Ma Fangyu curious, so he followed the crowd and soon arrived in front of a magnificent high-rise building, and he could see the three big characters "Huamanlou" in the distance.

The building is full of flowers in the night, like a palace rising from the ground, the whole building is shining with brilliant brilliance, and the sound of laughter, singing and dancing instruments comes out.

At this time, the gate of the Huamanlou was overcrowded, and they were stopped by a group of guards, and they needed to go through some interrogation and inspection before those who met the conditions could enter. So came here

People, many of whom were blocked back, had to leave with a sigh of sorrow.

Seeing such a situation, Ma Fangyu swallowed his saliva, and his heart was already shocked.

He glanced at the departing crowd, then at his own clothes, and couldn't help but shake his head. Those who were expelled were already brightly dressed, and their own clothes were even more shabby than them, I wonder if they could enter smoothly?

However, everything has to be tried to know that since Ma Fangyu has the idea of going in, he will naturally not give up like this.

So, pretending to be noble, he swaggered towards the main gate, and as he approached the gate, he was stopped by four guards at the same time.

They glanced at Ma Yunfei with disdain, and the person at the head of them had a stubby beard and a fierce light in his eyes, which was not easy to provoke at first glance.

He shouted in an unkind tone: "Where did you come from, poor boy, is this where you should come?"

Sure enough, he was underestimated, Ma Fangyu felt that his clothes were much more gorgeous than ordinary people's, and he never thought that he was just a poor boy in their eyes.

However, it is no wonder that there is no harm without comparison, and the clothes of these four guards alone are more elaborate than their own. What kind of place is this, Ma Fangyu became more and more interested.

Of course, Ma Fangyu wanted to enter as an ordinary person, so naturally he would not use his vitality.

"I can't come here, so what kind of people do I need to come here?" asked Ma Fangyu.

The leader replied: "There are only two kinds of people who come here, one is a person who is powerful enough, and if you want to enter, you can take out the official seal or serve as a Wendie, and the other is a person who is rich enough, if you want to go in, please show enough wealth." ”

Hearing this, Ma Fangyu almost opened his mouth wide, feeling that it was not so difficult for him to enter the palace, but he didn't expect this Hua Manlou to have such a strange request.

However, thinking of the nearly 100,000 taels of gold in his Qinglong jade pendant, he should have reached the condition of being rich enough.

So, Ma Fangyu smiled, put his hand into his sleeve, and then took out two ingots of gold, displayed them in front of the guards, and said, "I don't know if this is enough?"

The person at the head didn't look at it, shook his head and said: "Just this little bit of gold, I want to enter the Huamanlou, and do your spring and autumn dreams." ”

In desperation, Ma Fangyu reached into his sleeve with his other hand, then took out two more ingots of gold, and asked, "What about this?"

Seeing this, the four guards looked a little surprised, they didn't think that the other party didn't look good, and they could actually take out four ingots of gold from themselves casually. However, it is not enough to meet the conditions for entering Huamanlou.

The leader shook his head again, but he no longer underestimated Ma Fangyu, and did not say anything unpleasant.

Ma Fangyu didn't expect that four ingots of gold were not enough, so he couldn't help but ask: "Just say it clearly, how much gold do you have to take out to be enough?"

The leader stretched out ten fingers and said, "At least one hundred taels of gold, that is, ten ingots of gold." ”

Hearing this, Ma Fangyu was taken aback, thinking that this place is really a place to burn gold, but fortunately, it is just a display now, and when it will enter it, as long as you don't consume it, you can be an audience.

So, Ma Fangyu's face turned ruthless, and his two hands reached into his chest at the same time, although the action was unsightly, but when he took out ten ingots of gold with both hands,

Stunned all four guards.

Ma Fangyu shook the gold in front of the guards and said, "How about it, I can go in now, right?"

"That's nature!" The leader showed a smirk on his face, bowed his head, and continued: "But to enter inside, you must first hand over the ticket of twenty taels of gold. ”

When these words reached Ma Fangyu's ears, he suddenly felt a heartache, although twenty taels is a small amount compared to one hundred thousand taels, but for a person who is used to living a hard life, even if it is a baht, it is also a matter of consideration.

It's just that there is no way now, Ma Fangyu had to endure the pain and cut his love, and handed over the two ingots of gold to the person who led them, and they let Ma Fangyu in.

Entering inside, Ma Fangyu suddenly felt that the lights were dazzling, and his front suddenly became open.

It turned out that this first floor was a large stage, and at this time there were several seductive and beautiful women dancing, and all the customers who came in were placed upstairs.

Further up, there were ten floors, and the attic on each floor was crowded with people sitting near the railing, drinking and enjoying the dance below.

At this time, a small servant walked in front of Ma Fangyu and said with a smile: "Guest officer, welcome to Huamanlou, your next matters will be arranged by the small one." ”

Ma Fangyu looked at the little guy in front of him, although he looked groveling and sending people under the fence, but his gorgeous clothes were better than many rich children outside.

It seems that being able to come here, even if it is to do the lowest work, can be regarded as a fat difference.

Ma Fangyu nodded and said, "It's my first time here, so you can introduce it to me." ”

The smile on the little guy's face did not decrease, and he said: "Haole, the little one knows at a glance that you are definitely not a thing in the pool, you must be a rich and noble person." ”

Do you still need to see this? Who came here is not rich and noble? I think this little guy is also patting his own ass, doing his job, this should belong to the basic skills, right?

Ma Fangyu thought about it, but heard the little girl say: "Our Huamanlou is divided into ten floors, the first floor is a big stage, and the second to tenth floors are the places where customers are placed. Of course, from low to high, the price is different, the lower the floor, the closer to the big stage, the more expensive the price. Someone with status like you wants to settle in this second floor, right?"

Hearing this, Ma Fangyu was taken aback, and then realized that he had fallen into the wolf's den, and it seemed that he was going to put a lot of blood today.

Ma Fangyu knew that the little maid must want to choose the second floor by himself, which would undoubtedly increase the income of Hua Manlou, and I am afraid that he would also receive some commissions, right?

However, to disappoint him, in line with the purpose of saving money, he will naturally choose the tenth floor without hesitation, anyway, with his keen vision, he can look at the big stage clearly.

"You can take me to the tenth floor!" Ma Fangyu said lightly.

Hearing the tenth floor, a trace of displeasure flashed on the little girl's face, and he quickly hid it, so he led Ma Fangyu to the direction of the staircase, and said, "To stay on the tenth floor, you need to charge twenty taels of gold!"

It was another twenty taels of gold, and Ma Fangyu felt a pain in his heart, but when he saw the little guy stretching out his hand, he had to reluctantly hand over the two ingots of gold to him.

After getting the gold, the little maid looked happy, and actively took Ma Fangyu upstairs and walked towards the tenth floor.
