Chapter 54 Li Yuan
Jinxiu Pavilion, top floor, wing room: Liyuan.
Li Garden is the most luxuriously decorated room in Jinxiu Pavilion, and the price is also the most expensive. Of course, it is only open to the most special guests. Generally, people who come to buy a laugh are not eligible to sit in.
But even so, there are still a lot of people who want to sit in the Li Garden and spend money.
Because of the rules of Jinxiu Pavilion, only customers who spend in Liyuan can enjoy the most exquisite services of Jinxiu Pavilion, including enjoying the singing of "Wen Xiuyun", the fifth-rank public singer, face to face.
The singers of the old Jing Dynasty were divided into nine ranks. Different from the titles, the rank of the singers was the highest at the first rank and the lowest at the ninth rank. Among all the flower houses in Licheng, the highest-ranking singer is the fifth-rank "Gongmo".
In fact, the rank of the singer was not obtained by any yamen in the old Jing dynasty, the yamen was not so boring. It was reviewed by a folk study called "Baihuafang".
At the beginning, it was just a joke with some idle and self-proclaimed romantic book bags. It was published in a picture book that few people care about. It was basically for self-entertainment. At that time, the "Baihuafang" It just looks like a small workshop.
Later, this picture book for self-entertainment was seen by a rich businessman from the capital city, and this rich businessman happened to have a big flower house in his hand, so he turned his head and smashed the means of commercial momentum on "" "Hundred Flowers" is a picture book that no one cares about. Of course, the purpose is just to promote the singers in his flower building.
In this way, the people who were just laughing in the hook bar turned into "divas" sought after by all kinds of men, and even some romantic love stories with them as the protagonists were widely circulated.
Ridiculous enough to make one's scalp tingle.
After a long time, this kind of abnormal phenomenon has become a common practice. All over the country, as long as there are large-scale flower houses, they will go to the "Baihuafang" to rate their singers.
It is said that the grade evaluation of singers is extremely strict and costly, and it may not be successful,? !
Shen Hao would laugh out loud whenever he heard people gossip about divas, as if listening to comedy jokes.
"Zongqi, you still have enough face. When I came to book a wing room, the madam didn't let me book this "Li Yuan". But when I heard that you are the host today, I immediately nodded and asked if I would like to let you go. Wen Xiuyun has come to accompany you for a drink or two, tsk tsk."
Shen Hao smiled, took a sip from his teacup, and looked around. He had heard the name of this "Li Garden" for a long time. The decoration really took a lot of thought. It was luxurious but not exaggerated. It had a leisurely and warm atmosphere. Especially the sandalwood waving in the air smells very comfortable and relaxing.
"The environment here is still good."
"Of course, Zongqi. The cost of the wing room here is a full one thousand taels of silver, and it's only for one night. Tsk tsk, I can play with this money for half a year."
"There is a reason why you are expensive. But the price is still inflated. We'll see later whether the songstress Gong Mo is really as captivating as the rumors say."
"Hey, Zongqi, you can try to see if you can stay in Wen Xiuyun's boudoir later, I heard that she hasn't left the cabinet yet!"
"Don't dream. How much money did Jinxiu Pavilion spend on her? Wouldn't it be a shame to let someone take her away so easily? I think Jinxiu Pavilion will have to pull this Gongmo diva to make money for a few more years." , and then there will be an oiran meeting or something to sell her head. So, today we will drink and listen to music, and then talk about things, don't make trouble for me, kid."
"Hehe, don't worry, President Qi, you won't miss anything."
Wang Jian was in high spirits today. It was the first time he came to the "Li Garden" of the Jinxiu Pavilion, not to mention seeing Wen Xiuyun performing arts, so he tidied himself up and even imitated Shen Hao. Wearing ordinary clothes and wearing a bun, dreaming of the dream of "beauties fall in love with handsome men". Completely ignoring that no matter how well he dresses up, he still has nothing to do with the words "Qiao Langjun".
Just after the beginning of the year, the door of the wing room was knocked open, and the old bustard led two burly middle-aged men through the door and walked in.
Wang Jian got up to greet him, and greeted with a smile: "Hello, Li Qianhu! Hello, Zhang Qianhu!"
The person who came also laughed, and when Wang Jian came up, he stretched out his hand and patted Wang Jian's arm vigorously, saying, "I haven't seen you for many years, boy, you are stronger!"
"Is the old man in good health?"
"Fortunately, grandpa often mentioned the two thousand households, and sometimes he would talk about the past when he fought side by side with the two thousand households at the Kunduo Pass. He always had to drink half a jar of wine before he could rest."
"Hahaha, the master's alcohol capacity is still so good? Then we must have a drink or two with the master when we have something to do here later."
"Definitely." Wang Jian responded with a smile, then turned aside to let Shen Hao behind him out, and introduced: "Gan Qianhu, Zhang Qianhu, this is Shen Zongqi from our Licheng Black Flag Camp. Shen Zongqi, These two are Gan Qianhu and Zhang Qianhu from the Qianhu Office of the Fengri City Guard."
Shen Hao also bowed his hands to the two with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "I have admired the two famous names for a long time, please sit down quickly!"
"Haha, we are the ones who have admired Zongqi Shen for a long time, and Zongqi Shen was famous in Jingxi for the big treason case before!"
"That's right, I just didn't expect Mr. Shen to be so young, he really is a young hero!"
While exchanging greetings, the guest of honor was assigned to sit down.
Gan Lin and Zhang Qian are both Deputy Qianhu of the Qianhu Office of the Fengri City Garrison. A serious soldier in the army. Thirty years ago, he served as a soldier under Wang Jian's grandfather and went to the battlefield together.
In addition, Gan Lin and Zhang Qian are both the former robes of Jiang Cheng, a thousand households of the Xuanqing Guard Thousand Households in Fengri City, and the relationship between the three is relatively close. This time, Gan and Zhang were invited by Shen Hao to ask Wang Jian to come forward to match them.
Inviting someone to come over must have a good reason, "woman" is the best reason, not to mention the fifth-rank Gong Mo Song Ji, this face can be followed.
Of course, the diva was just a pretext, and Shen Hao naturally had other purposes to get to know these two.
As soon as they were seated here, the bustard greeted them and started to serve the dishes. Regardless of the taste of the dishes, the appearance alone is excellent. It whets the appetite, coupled with the strong aroma of wine, it immediately fills the entire room with joy.
It wasn't just the food and drinks that entered the room, there were also Yingying and Yanyan who came in in groups. These are also singers, and these singers are all of high grade, but the highest is eighth grade.
These singers are the main force serving the high-end customers of Jinxiu Pavilion. As long as the customers can afford the money, they can bring these singers into the Nuan Pavilion and enter the boudoir.
After all, no matter how attractive Gong Mo Song Ji is, the store doesn’t sell them. He can only see that they can’t eat and hurt the body. Although these Yingying Yanyans are only eight or nine ranks but have a good figure and appearance, they are equivalent to “meal replacements.” ", to relieve hunger.
With Wang Jian as his companion, the funny jokes in the three-way conversation don't want to go out like money. Although they are vulgar, they suit the tastes of Gan and Zhang. The army is full of men, and they chat and fart like this in their spare time.
Each of the two singers hugged left and right, picked up vegetables, poured wine, and wrapped them all up. Even grasping and kneading was all up to preference, and the soft-spoken words were even more charming.
Of course, these are all the power of money. If you have given enough money, it is not a problem to directly raise a gun and mount a horse in this wing.
After drinking three times and eating five flavors, you know what you should know.
"This time I took the liberty to invite the two adults here mainly because I have long admired you and wanted to get acquainted, and secondly because I wanted to ask you for a favor."
