Chapter 11: Wonderful
It turns out that this place of fireworks and "flowers" is also divided into three, six, nine and so on. The inferior is a prostitution hall. Ordinary peddlers and pawns can vent with a little silver on their "flowers".
The best in the land of fireworks "flowers" is the square or courtyard, mostly in the name of the painting workshop academy to show people, among them, the "female" children are all posture "color" superior, and all are "fine" in the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and songs.
Literati and writers mostly appreciate themselves, and it is quite comfortable to talk with the 'flower' about some poetry, but if you go to this Xiangquan Fang, I am afraid that you can only drink wine in the front hall and watch the opera.
(I learned that there was a cousin named Cang in the East, that is, in the name of the teacher, he 'mixed' in the Chinese entertainment industry. Such a "debauched" person can become popular in China. It also shows that the Chinese entertainment industry is a place to hide dirt and dirt. You don't see those 'doors'.
After listening to the detailed explanation of the broom, Da Kui couldn't help sighing, and immediately took the dog, the stone, the broom, the dustpan, and the bench to the Xiangquanfang.
Da Kui swaggered into the 'door', and the five people of the dog left, the stone, the broom, the dustpan, and the bench arrived in front of the 'door', but were stopped outside the 'door' by the four strong men who stood in front of the 'door'.
Da Kui walked up to the 'door' and couldn't help asking, "They are my attendants.
One of the drunken nosed men laughed and said: "Guest officer, you must be a rich and noble person, you can naturally come and go at will, but they are inferior.
Da Kui couldn't help but curse in his heart: "The gathering place of the sages and scholars, this is really both a ** and a memorial arch." As he spoke, Da Kui took out five taels of silver from his bosom and handed it over.
Na Cheng thought that the rosacea man didn't accept it, and blindly refused: "Guest officer, the little one knows that you are not short of silver, but the little one can't break the rules because of your reward."
Da Kui sighed when he heard this, "That's the case, I'm leaving." As he spoke, he took the silver ingot and walked out of the door.
Goolan Qinglou opened the 'door' to do business, and naturally there was no reason to push the guests out. Seeing that Da Kui was leaving, the rosacea man hurriedly apologized and said: "Forgive the guest officer. As he spoke, he slapped himself lightly in the face twice.
Seeing this, Da Kui couldn't help but stop and asked, "I specially brought a few followers to see the world today.
The rosacea man smiled and said, "Where is this the guest officer, please listen to the villain's words, the guest officer may wish to ask a few of your entourages to change their clothes and come again.
Hearing this, Da Kui couldn't help frowning and said, "It's night at the moment, but where are you going to change your clothes?"
The rosacea man stretched out his hand to the left side of the street and said, "There's a ready-to-wear shop across the street, and it's not only custom-made, but you can also rent it, no matter what kind of robe, there's everything."
Da Kui couldn't help but be dumbfounded.what.And rented.
Curious, Da Kui said, "So I'll take them to change their clothes. As he spoke, he went out of the 'door' and went down the street with five of his subordinates.
It's no wonder that people don't let people in, but all the turtles in Qinglou are like this. As the saying goes: Respect Luo Yi first and then respect people.
There is also a saying that describes the hot and cold state of the world very appropriately, that is: the car and boat shop foot horse, innocent should be killed. Why do you say that? The car and boat shop foot horse is a summary of the five trades; it is said that the coachman who drives the carriage in the family of the official and noble, is mostly a bully, the boatman who crosses the river 'privately', most of them are the people who fall into the well, and the country taverns and inns that are not opened in the market town and the state capital are mostly black shops. Whenever you pull feet for others, there will always be people who forget their righteousness and forget their righteousness, and this horse is the turtle in front of the "door" of the hook fence.
Da Kui took the dog, the stone, the broom, the dustpan, the bench, and a group of six people to the "door" of the ready-to-wear shop.
It turns out that all the state capitals and counties have fireworks 'flowers' places, and if the Qinglou Goolan is scattered everywhere, it is unseemly, so the successive dynasties have made these Goolan brothels gather in one place, so there is a saying that the place where the Goolan brothels gather is a street, or an area.
The six people of Da Kui entered the 'fireworks' and the 'street silk shop', and the shopkeeper saw that the employer hurriedly came forward.
Da Kui asked with a smile: "Shopkeeper, you are the only garment shop on this street."
The shopkeeper of this fireworks 'flower' street silk shop is a middle-aged man in his forties who is not 'confused'. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "Yes, the craftsmanship of this shop can be called a unique in this Raozhou.
Da Kui nodded and said, "In that case, you can tailor a few sets of clothes for a few of my entourage.
The shopkeeper hurriedly replied: "This guest officer can rest assured, my clothing craftsmanship here is naturally not said." The shopkeeper said that Da Kui and the others were let to the inner room, and it turned out that this ready-to-wear shop was convenient for the guests to wait.
After Da Kui sat down, the shopkeeper served tea, and Da Kui couldn't help asking, "How much silver does it cost for each of my entourages to make a set of clothes?" Da Kui said and picked up the teacup and sniffed it carefully, and couldn't help but praise: "Well, good tea."
The shopkeeper did a rough calculation before saying, "If all five of them do, they will need thirty taels of silver."
"What." Da Kui's voice suddenly raised, exclaimed, this can't be blamed for Da Kui's fuss, in Lin'an, Da Kui had been to the silk village to make clothes, a good robe is only one or two cents of silver, although most of the silk in Raozhou is transported from the hinterland of Lin'an, Longping, and Jiangnan, even if the craftsmanship of this shop is good, it will not cost six taels of silver for a piece of clothing.
The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Don't blame the guest officer, our store has a rule, the daytime ready-to-wear is half the price of the night-time ready-to-wear, and the customer's clothes can be stored in the store, and the clothes can be taken and used." The shopkeeper smiled and said, "There is another thing that needs to be explained to the guest officer: the owner of this ready-to-wear shop is opened by the third sister of Xiangquanfang."
Da Kui couldn't help asking, "Which one is the third sister?"
The shopkeeper replied with a smile: "The third sister is the bustard's mother of Xiangquanfang.
Da Kui heard the words and thought about the words of this store, and immediately knew in his heart.Ready-to-wear is cheap during the day because the guests have other places to go.At night, the ready-to-wear clothes are mostly urgent.Therefore, it is expensive.Some people come here to avoid suspicion.So they store their clothes here.When they go out of the 'door', they are dressed in coarse linen.
There are endless situations in the world.Da Kui can't help but be amazed.But then he can't help but feel troubled when he thinks about it.Dog leftover.Stone.broom.dustpan.The five people on the bench are all military men.If it is reasonable to buy a strong suit.But if a long robe, it is a little inappropriate.Gou Yu and the others are embarrassed to see Da Kui.But they really want to go to Xiangquanfang to see it.Gou Yu couldn't help but lean over and reminded softly: "My lord.Isn't it possible to rent here.You might as well rent one."
When Da Kui heard this, he said: "In this case, you can rent a set of robes for each of you here, and then I will buy clothes and accessories for you when I return to Longping." Da Kui got the 5,000 taels of silver specially approved by King Wu, so he naturally had to 'spend' a little worse, but he couldn't 'spend' money indiscriminately. Da Kui was born in poverty, so he naturally knew the value of silver money.
When the shopkeeper heard this, he smiled and said: "To rent a robe, you need to 'pay' a mortgage of twenty taels of silver, and a string of money per piece of rent per day."
"What." Da Kui exclaimed again, but then slowed down and asked, "Why is it so expensive?"
The shopkeeper said: "The clothes will wear out when they are rented out of the 'door', and if they are worn out after three or two years, the clothes will naturally be worn out. But the shopkeeper said to the dogs, stones, brooms, dustpans, and benches, "If there is any damage in the robe, you must compensate according to the price."
Da Kui knew that this shopkeeper was really a black-hearted businessman, but he had nothing to do, so he had to 'hand' over twenty taels of silver and ask the shopkeeper to give the dog leftovers, stones, brooms, dustpans, and benches, and the five people each prepared a luxurious robe.
Dog leftover, stone, broom, dustpan, bench five people are their own personal companions, but also need to be taken care of like brothers, think of Xu Yuan and Dong Hu, Da Kui can't help but regret, the two have always been humble with himself before his death, but because of the protection of himself tragically died, but before his death, he never saw the glory of the world with himself.
When the five people on the dog were left, the stones, the brooms, the dustpans, and the benches were dressed up, Da Kui couldn't help but be very satisfied, and the stones couldn't help urging: "My lord, it's not too early, let's go quickly."
Da Kui smiled and said, "Hehehe, let's go, you and I will go together today to have a good time."
Dogs, stones, brooms, dustpans, and benches couldn't help but happily follow Da Kui out of the ready-to-wear shop and walked towards Xiangquanfang again.
