Strictly speaking, the Qinglou in the Song Dynasty was not a simple place of lust @ love, because in addition to providing a trading platform for young ladies and customers, it also carried a channel for cultural transmission.

It can be considered that most of the popular poems and songs of the Tang and Song dynasties spread from the Qinglou before becoming widely known.

Therefore, in this era, where there are some grades of Qinglou, the girls in them take the route of both color and art, and even the "color" can be slightly inferior, but the "art" must be superb.

The so-called "top brand", "Oiran" or "everyone" in the Qinglou, even if they are not as talented women as Li Qingzhao, their piano, chess, calligraphy and painting must also have certain attainments.

Only such a kiln sister can attract countless scribes and ink writers to linger, and can form the mainstream atmosphere of people in the world looking for flowers and willows.

That's right, in the Song Dynasty, it was just a romantic thing for men to visit Qinglou. And the word "merry" has only a positive meaning, not a derogatory meaning. "Only great heroes can be true to themselves, and they are true celebrities and gentlemen", this famous sentence from the Ming Dynasty interprets and summarizes the definition of "merry" behavior in ancient society.

It can even be said that visiting the Qinglou is an enviable and commendable thing. Because the high-end green buildings at that time were not accessible to ordinary people, and the top girls were not visible to ordinary people. Those who can drink tea and chat with the top brands are not well-educated and young talents, and it is not enough to be rich, but also to have an identity and talent.

However, no matter how supportive and encouraging the attitude of the Song Dynasty society was towards the Qinglou, and how enthusiastic and praised the people of the Song Dynasty were for visiting the Qinglou, there was absolutely no such thing as taking his wife to visit the Qinglou. Even if you are a wife, you can't turn a blind eye to your man's visit to the Qinglou!

To put it bluntly, it's okay for a man to go to the Qinglou, but it's not okay to take his wife with him.

There are two main reasons for this:

On the one hand, a man's going to the Qinglou itself means that he is not satisfied with his wife and concubine, and at the same time, it means that his wife is not attractive enough, or her ability is not enough, which is already an invisible condemnation of his wife and concubine;

On the other hand, if a man takes his wife to the Qinglou, it is equivalent to him wanting to insult his wife in public, and the "public" is still some kiln sisters who make a living by dealing in skin and flesh.

Women in ancient times can be roughly divided into two categories, one is a good family, the other is slavery, the wife certainly belongs to the former category, and no matter how big the kiln sister is, it can only be the latter category.

insulting his wife in front of a lowly woman, this level of insult can be described as extremely vicious, if you really do this, it is better to kill your wife.

Therefore, Bai Sheng's move today is really a bit of a disapproval of the world. Of course, it can also be said to be nice, called daring to be the first in the world.

Fortunately, Xiao Feng doesn't know much about this, plus she hasn't completely decided to marry Bai Sheng as his wife, and she is still wearing men's clothes, these three factors together invisibly avoid most of the embarrassment, but it is something that this pair of enemies never thought of.

The door of Qingyutang was closed, and no one came to open the door after knocking for a long time. Without waiting for Bai Sheng to say anything, Xiao Feng was anxious first: "Won't the people here also flee for refuge, right?" ”

Xiao Feng really thought that Bai Sheng was facing the threat of death, so he proposed this, since he wanted to save Bai Sheng's life, he would not hesitate to sacrifice his life once, but he couldn't do that kind of thing on this street.

Bai Sheng was even more moved, and couldn't help but be a little worried, how to fulfill this lie for a while? ”

He did hear footsteps inside.

Sure enough, before the words fell, the sound of twitching the latch sounded inside the door, and at the same time, a middle-aged woman's voice came out: "What are you knocking on? What are you knocking on at this time? Don't you know the rules?"

Bai Sheng can understand the complaints of the women inside, because no matter ancient or modern, Chinese and foreign, at this time of day, the ladies in this line are resting, and the opening time of this kind of place is usually after dusk every day.

The door opened, and a woman with drooping eyebrows and slightly higher cheekbones stood inside the door, looking sleepy and angry, looking like an old bustard.

The bustard glanced at Bai Sheng and Xiao Feng a few times, and when he found that both of them were handsome, the anger on his face instantly dissipated, and his tone softened a lot: "Two little brothers, the girls have just fallen asleep, how do you let me do your business?"

Bai Sheng smiled, "It's okay, you open a single room for the two of us first, and we can wait." ”

The old bustard smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid that I will have to wait for a day, and no one will serve you, only I, an old pearl yellow, even if I talk to you and drink tea, I'm afraid you won't be willing, or you will come back at night?"

Hearing this, Xiao Feng was a little anxious, looking at the development trend, Bai Sheng still wanted to do that with himself, but how to do this thing in the Qinglou?

Unexpectedly, Bai Sheng said a sentence, which stunned the two young and middle-aged women, "No need, it's just right for you to chat with me, I'm looking for you." ”

This...... What kind of fetish is this? The old bustard is stupid, Xiao Feng is also stupid, if this is left in the future life, the two of them will definitely blurt out: "Your taste is too heavy, right?"

Bai Sheng patted Xiao Feng's arm very naturally, "Don't be stunned, take the gold out, let's pay the deposit first!"

Xiao Feng Muran took off the burden on his shoulders, took out a gold ingot from it, and handed it to the same Muran's old bustard, this gold was the stolen goods of the Huangmen Mountain bandits, and Bai Sheng packed a lot.

The old bustard was stimulated by the light of the gold ingot, and suddenly woke up, his expression was extremely complicated, and a few cloudy tears rolled out of his eyes, and he said in a trembling voice: "I really didn't expect that this son would actually ...... Looks ...... me."

Speaking of this, he hurriedly turned around and ran inside, saying as he ran: "The two sons will sit in the hall for a while, and when I take a shower, change my clothes and put on makeup, I will definitely do my best, so that you can taste all the tricks and be comfortable all day......

Xiao Feng had also woken up here, and couldn't help but be so angry that tears flowed out, and he gritted his teeth in a low voice: "You...... You're like that...... Won't you follow me?"

Bai Sheng also shed tears, but he laughed. In order not to wake up the young lady and the prostitute in this green building, he resisted the urge to laugh out loud and held back his tears.

Xiao Feng pointed to Bai Sheng's face, unable to speak, and paused for a long time before he said, "You still have a smile?"

Bai Sheng finally put away his smile, grabbed Xiao Feng's arms with both hands, and said softly: "Where do you want to go? I can't care if she wants to be crooked, how can you think crooked?"

Xiao Feng broke free of Bai Sheng's hands with all his might, and said with a cold face: "You said in person that you wanted her to accompany you, could it be that she heard it wrong, and I heard it wrong?"

Bai Sheng said: "You heard it right, I just asked her to chat with me, I have something to ask her, who knows that she will go to the bath?"

Xiao Feng still didn't believe it, sat down on an embroidered stool angrily, and said, "I'll see what you argue when she comes out later." ”

Bai Sheng also sat on the side, looking at Xiao Feng with a smile, but Xiao Feng turned his face away from Bai Sheng.

I don't know how the old bustard is going to pick it up, and he hasn't been able to come out for a long time, Xiao Feng suddenly remembered something and said: "You must be lying to me, so long enough time to go to the inn, but you would rather wait here than see you die, hum!"

"Uh......" Bai Sheng really felt that he couldn't explain it, so he had to say sweetly: "Actually, as long as you stay by my side, no matter what happens, I will never die." ”

When Xiao Feng heard this, he couldn't help but feel a sweet feeling in his heart, the frost on his face had faded, but he didn't want to be so cheap Bai Sheng, and when he was about to say two cruel words to retaliate against Bai Sheng, he saw the old bustard walk out step by step, with a strong fragrant wind rushing to his nose.

"Two sons, are you coming together, or are you coming one by one?"

Bai Sheng glanced at the thick fat powder on the old bustard's face, frowned, and said, "Didn't you say it, open a private room to drink tea and chat, and serve me some snacks, don't bring meat!"

"Okay, okay, just do what the son says, the two sons, please come with me. ”

The old bustard's eyebrows were beaming, and his feet were as light as swallows, as if he had returned to his girlhood. The heart said that this is a blessing in what kind of life? There are two handsome sons and brothers who want to spoil themselves, and on weekdays, those old people who only have money and no talent don't give Ken Zheng a look at themselves.

When he got upstairs and opened a room, Xiao Feng sneered and sat on the edge of a small round table in the room, just watching how Bai Sheng and Lao Bustard performed.

Bai Sheng sat next to Xiao Feng lightly, and let the old bustard serve refreshments.

After the old bustard personally poured tea for Bai Xiao and the others, he stood behind Bai Sheng and wanted to pinch his shoulders and beat his back, Bai Sheng immediately turned around and refused, "You go over there and sit down, I didn't look for you to let you serve me, don't misunderstand." ”

When the old bustard heard this, his heart suddenly became cold, and he couldn't help but feel angry, "You didn't do that for that, what are you doing in Qinglou? It's not appropriate to talk about poetry and lyrics early in the morning, right? Is it because I am old after all?"

Speaking of this, I remembered that people had paid a deposit, so I had to make a final persuasion: "But do you know, my mother, I have a good job......! You haven't seen discipline before! I don't believe you try it, you won't regret it. ”

Xiao Feng listened to the old bustard talk about a large number of strange tricks and secret techniques, and couldn't help but think, what are these moves? This is something that is not available in "Yu Yan's Selected Extracts", if it can be learned and used in the future...... Thinking of this, he glanced at Bai Sheng, and his face suddenly became hot, but when he thought that Bai Sheng was going to follow the old bustard, he couldn't help but be angry.

"Ahem, cough ......" Bai Sheng was also itchy to hear it, it seems that the ancients still have a lot of achievements in the study of this Tao, but at this moment, they can't be distracted.

So he cleared his throat and said, "Don't say it, I'm not chatting with you for this, I just want to ask you about a girl in Jiankang City, this girl is also in your business, her name is Li Qiaonu, do you know?"
