For the people of this era, it can also be regarded as a safe and stable office worker, Emperor Jianwen completely abolished the slave system, whether it is a porter or a guard, even a gardener, it is just a master employment, everyone works in the same courtyard on weekdays, and they are very familiar with each other when they look down and don't look up, unless there is a little dirty between the two, they are happy to help each other.

It didn't take long for the little guy to bring a big man in a strong suit over, it was Senior Brother Xu Xiaohua.

Senior Brother Xu has a dark complexion and a simple face, and he seems to be harmless, but it is a bit stressful to match his height. Don't think that Senior Brother Xu will be very weak if he is called Xu Xiaohua, when all the senior brothers in Huashan evaluated him, they all used a word "eyes are higher than the top", in this era when the average height is less than six feet, Senior Brother Xu is seven feet tall and steadily presses everyone on the head, and his eyes are on top of everyone, so everyone calls him "Xu Da".

When he was in Huashan, the masters commented that Xu Da was a natural martial arts wizard, born with divine power and simple mind, and he would stick to one thing to the end, which was a rare quality, so Xu Da could stare at Xiyi swordsmanship all the way from the beginning to the master, even if the master said that his most suitable weapon was a gun and stick, he never wavered. Many of the junior brothers who used to have the same starting point as him were still wandering in the forging period, but he was about to touch the threshold of the middle stage of qi training, and persistence was also a very important reason in addition to talent.

Liu Ping'an has always envied Xu Da's simple-mindedness, unlike himself, as a traverser, he thinks unrealistically all day long, he wants to be called the king and emperor, he wants to be the hero of the martial arts, and even wants to be a great inventor, but the result is that he has achieved nothing, and he has not even practiced the most basic swordsmanship. And as his friendship with Xu Da deepened, he found that this kind of simplicity was actually not the stupidity that others thought was lacking in heart.

Liu Ping'an's height is already above the level, nearly six feet, that is, a height of one meter eight, is above the average in future generations, but when he sees Xu Da, he can only look up and speak, Xu Da is a head taller than Liu Ping'an!

Liu Ping'an stood up and greeted him with a smile and shouted, "Senior brother." Xu Da opened his arms and gave him a big hug, like an eagle catching a chicken, he held Liu Ping'an in his arms, and he was almost out of breath, Liu Ping'an wanted to struggle, but he couldn't move a single bit like a tight spell. Fortunately, Xu Da immediately let go of his hand.

"Second brother, you have finally come to the capital!

All the brothers and sisters call Liu Ping'an the second brother, not only because he ranks second in the family, but because their swordsmanship teaches the master and grandson to use a series of words related to the two, such as "two goods, two balls, two fools, two hammers......" and so on, it just so happens that Liu Ping'an is a little hindered when he usually practices swordsmanship, so these words are added to him most of the time, and over time, everyone thinks "second brother" came to call it, at first I thought it was a bit of a bully, but slowly Liu Ping'an himself called himself Second Brother Liu.

Liu Ping'an let out a long breath, this Xu Da is not good at this, he always fights himself with martial arts, and he is eaten to death every time, it stands to reason that every traverser has a stupid follower, but when he comes to himself, he is treated as a follower by a stupid follower, it is simply unreasonable, what kind of tiger body shocks the anger of Wang Ba has no effect at all.

"If it weren't for the swordsmanship, I would have been a six-rank person a long time ago! The last time I went to the six doors to identify it, it was the swordsmanship that was not up to par. ”

Xu Da smiled, didn't care about Liu Ping'an's defense, just turned his head to the porter to thank him, and then led Liu Ping'an out of the room, detoured outside the mansion and entered the Xie Mansion from the side door.

"Usually we all go through the side door, and we are afraid that the main door will not affect the lord well. ”

The two came to a relatively remote room, which only had a queen-size bed and a table, which was very simple, but Liu Ping'an knew that this was Xu Da'an's style.

During the conversation, Liu Ping'an basically came up with Xu Da'an's experience. The owner of this Xie Mansion is a scholar of the dynasty, and there is a dazzling family behind him, which plays a pivotal role in the court. Xu Da's father is the big housekeeper here, and he himself mainly follows the young master of the Xie family as a long-term follower, and the house is also ready to train him to be a housekeeper, after all, the ancestors have always been like this, but Xu Da's mind is too simple, not enough to deal with all kinds of complex scenes, so he only needs to take care of the safety of the young master of the Xie family.

As for Xu Da'an's personal life, it is very monotonous, usually he stays in this small room and the courtyard outside to practice martial arts, except for following the young master of the Xie family, he basically has no other communication, and he has not married a wife so far.

Hearing Xu Da's introduction to the monthly salary, Second Brother Liu's eyes lit up with stars, and he looked for so many places, except for being a cook, there was no place where the salary given was more than three taels. At the time, I thought that staying here as a guard was a stupid choice, but now I know that after changing myself, I am willing to stay stupid and not leave, the treatment is so good! It is simply five insurances and one housing fund in later generations, and all meals and lodging are included, and you only need to eat, drink and have fun with it.

Hearing Liu Ping'an's current embarrassment, Xu Da said very generously: "If you have any problems with funds, just look for me! If you are also willing to come here on an errand, I will go to the commander to be accommodating." After hesitating, he whispered, "But your martial arts are really a bit low, and we must have at least a six-grade certificate to accept people in our house." ”

Liu Ping'an showed a little embarrassment on his face, and hurriedly said: "It's okay, I'll look for it myself, there are still a lot of job opportunities in the capital." ”

The two of them didn't stay in the room for long, when suddenly the door opened, and a voice came in before a person could enter.

"Xiaohua, come with me to the Red Sleeve Building. As he spoke, a young man walked in, dressed in white and spotless, and was a little surprised to see Second Brother Liu, "Hey, there are guests?"

Xu Da quickly stood up and shouted to the young master, "This is my junior brother Liu Ping'an, who has just arrived in the capital." ”

Liu Ping'an also quickly stood up and said, "Hello Young Master Xie!", this is the senior brother's food and clothing, if it is because of his inconsiderate heart, it will not be good for the senior brother and the master to feel guilty.

The young master of the Xie family looked very hearty, didn't care about the extra person, and said: "I always thought that you didn't have any friends besides that sword, but I didn't expect it to really be." Let's go, let's go to the Red Sleeve Building, let your junior brother go with you, you can't have a treat here. ”

He turned around and walked out, and threw another sentence: "Today, the iris girl is out of the pavilion and will take you to a long experience!"

After coming to the capital for so long, Liu Ping'an has never been to the Qinglou, and on the day he first came, he walked around a Qinglou and wanted to go in for dinner, but after asking about the market, he turned around and found a small shop on the street to ask for a bowl of miscellaneous sauce noodles for ten cents.

Let's wait until it's developed! When the time comes, I'll go to dinner every day.

Young Master Xie went out in a carriage, which was very spacious and atmospheric. Xu Da is both a guard and a groom, and he is busy driving a horse alone, and it is obviously not the first time to look at this skillful appearance.

Liu Ping'an followed Xu Da to sit outside and drive a horse, because it was inconvenient for the young master of the Xie family to talk about more personal issues when he sat in the carriage, so there was a scene of pulling on both sides. The red sleeve building enters the third in the Xiushui Hutong of Sichengfang, although it is not the largest green building in the capital, but it is very famous among the upper class, the three-story attic is decorated with golden brilliance, and the pieces of emerald green tassels exude the atmosphere of drunken gold in the twilight. Behind two large red lanterns hangs a long doorway.

"There are beautiful mountains and rivers here, beautiful winds and beautiful moons, and there are also beautiful people and good things, adding a thousand autumn stories. There are many infatuated men and women in the world, infatuated with dreams, and infatuated with infatuation, and they are several generations of infatuated people. ”

Although Liu Ping'an understands these text-like things, he doesn't have a strong sense of substitution. If you have the kung fu to study this, it is better to secretly observe the girl who is showing off the flowers on the window on the second floor, his face is a little red when he visits the Qinglou for the first time, and most of his past and present lives add up to most of his life, and it is really the first time he has entered the brothel of the Qinglou.

Before entering the door, I felt the thoughtful service, and there were already small guys who came to take the bridge and lead the horse, which was very enthusiastic.

Liu Ping'an consciously walked into the building side by side with Xu Da and the young master of the Xie family, although he was not a guard, it was obvious that only this role was suitable for him, and everything in the red-sleeved building was very novel and dazzling to him.

It is a three-story layout in the shape of a "hui", with a hall on the first floor and a red stage on the left, covered with curtains and ribbons. Presumably, this is where the performances of talents such as singing and dancing are held here. The three sides of the stage are surrounded by a slip of tables and chairs, dozens of them, all neatly placed, among which there are scattered sitting guests, warriors with swords, and literati wearing long robes.

My mother had already greeted her, but I heard the young master of the Xie family call her "Jade Niang", a charming in her thirties, with a huge purple flower on her head.

"Gongzi Xie, you're here! But I haven't come to play for a while, and the girls miss it very much. Yu Niang had a smiling expression on her face, this son who was a scholar of the dynasty was a frequent visitor to the Red Sleeve Building, and his character and poetry were excellent, and the girls were even willing to post it upside down when they encountered such a guest, not to mention that this one was also very generous.

"Zhang Gongzi and Li Gongzi are in Furong Pavilion, are you together?"

Young Master Xie replied casually, and then arranged for Xu Da, "Today, you can just take your junior brother to sit in a random place below." Have a good treat, order what you want to eat, and settle the bill together at that time. After speaking, he followed Yu Niang to the second floor.

The second floor is a cloister, with a row of windows facing the stage, all of which are private rooms. The seats are not as open as the first floor, more private, and suitable for big people who pay attention to their identity. The third floor is used as the roof, and you don't have to guess to know that it must be the girls' boudoir.
