Washer.
Also known as Wa City.
It is equivalent to a small market, with hooks and railings arranged in an orderly manner.
When talking about Goulan, the first thing that comes to mind is Li Shishi, a famous courtesan from the Song Dynasty.
According to legend, Master Li often performed in the Goulan.
Jin An didn't know whether this was true or not. He also heard it from a friend.
"Huh?"
A few people had not yet arrived at the Goulan house that they were going to. Not long after entering the house, the old Taoist priest seemed to have seen something and suddenly let out a surprised exclamation.
"What's wrong?" Jin Anting stepped forward.
As a result, I saw that instead of answering his words, I walked towards several withered plants.
"Little brother, do you recognize what this is?"
The old Taoist priest did not answer the question at first.
Seeing Jin An, the old Taoist priest shook his head and twisted his beard and said, "You're right, little brother, if you don't know, this is called canna. However, canna is not cold-resistant or frost-resistant. It is the season of dead flowers. So generally no one can recognize it."
"Cannas only grow in a few places, and I have been lucky enough to see cannas several times over the years."
After the old Taoist priest finished speaking, he immediately frowned: "However, although the cannas here are still in the dry flower season, they have already begun to grow flower buds."
"Logically speaking, this shouldn't happen. I've seen cannas several times. Although it's the growth period of cannas after spring, they shouldn't grow so fast."
Li Yanchu on the side, after hearing what the old Taoist said, hurriedly asked: "Taoist Master Chen, is there any way or explanation here?"
The old Taoist priest looked at the canna bush again, pondered for a moment, and then said: "There are folk rumors in many places that cannas can turn into beauties, seduce scholars, woodcutter, and hunters who are passing by, and absorb the yang energy of living people. Practice. This is because canna has a strong yin energy and is most likely to attract lonely souls and wild ghosts."
Hear the words.
Jin An immediately understood the meaning of the old Taoist priest's words.
Is it possible that something dirty is hidden in the tile fence?
I didn't expect that I would get such an unexpected gain just after I came here. It was quite unexpected. Then Jin'an Yile had some evil intentions to disrupt the order of the Yang world. This can't be said to be another evil deed.
The further we go, the more canna plants begin to grow.
However, the dirt road in Waseli has long been firmly trodden by people, and there are clusters of chaotic growth here and there.
The Goulan restaurant where Li Yanchu often went to listen to music was relatively inside.
The three of them passed by several Goulan stores before arriving at the Goulan store where Li Yanchu often listened to music.
However, because the Qingming Temple Fair is approaching, there are many outsiders in Changxian County. When they arrive, there are no empty seats in Goulan, and there is no place to sit even if they let people in. Therefore, many people have been blocked from the door of Goulan.
Because there are no seats in the hook bars, there is no place to sit even if people are let in, so many people are blocked in front of each hook bar.
If Li Yanchu hadn't been a regular customer here and was from the Yamen, he was a bit thin-faced and had a few words with the strong men at the door. It happened that a few guests came out at this time and there were more empty seats. Only then were the three of them able to enter.
On the contrary, many people looked at the old Taoist priest strangely along the way, but they couldn't bear the old Taoist priest's thick skin.
…
As soon as the three of them entered Goulan, Li Yanchu started talking non-stop, introducing everything in this Goulan.
Familiar roads all the way.
"I wonder if Mr. Jin'an has ever heard of such a saying, one year for the zither, three years for the fiddle, one erhu to break the waist, a thousand years for the pipa and ten thousand years for the harp."
"What these words describe is that this Goulan family is best at entertaining people, so there is no shortage of scholars and young masters on weekdays, and these scholars and young masters are often the most generous and generous. Therefore, this Goulan family can be regarded as a tile It’s the biggest house in the house.”
Li Yanchu acted as a tour guide along the way, introducing everything on the road to Jin An and the old Taoist priest. When talking about the various ways to play in Goulanli, he felt like an old-timer.
Jin An pondered for a moment and then answered: "One year of zither, three years of fiddle, only suona will last my life. I don't know the sound of suona when I first hear it, but when I hear it again, I am already a person in a coffin?"
The old Taoist priest couldn't hold it back.
He burst out laughing, as if he farted secretly.
"Don't tell me, little brother, you are very good at rhyming. Little brother, you are really a genius." The old Taoist priest praised.
Li Yanchu: "?"
Li Yanchu: "..."
Jin An's words shocked Li Yanchu, a veteran who claimed to be an old timer. He was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to respond to Jin An's next words.
Li Yanchu felt depressed because the forest was really big and there were all kinds of birds.
He, an old bird, was eventually pecked blind by a goshawk because he had no eyesight.
Li Yanchu smiled coquettishly and quickly changed the subject: "When it comes to hooking up the fence, there are generally three ways to play."
"First, there are hundreds of operas, and several Goulan companies compete based on their abilities."
“Second, those with high skills will gain a foothold.”
"The third is to post recruitment tips. This is the most popular one. There are often many literati and rich men vying for money to choose their favorite prostitutes."
After Jin An listened for a while, he finally understood what posting tricks meant.
That is to put up promotional posters in advance, what performances will be available, and then let the literati and wealthy young men fight to their death.
Whoever pays more will name the prostitute he likes.
This is called a man's face, and it's never a small matter.
Silver or not, that is secondary.
The most important thing is to have a head start.
It's similar to the effect of "Master Zhao will pay for everyone's drinks tonight", domineering! man!
Li Yanchu continued to introduce: "As for this Goulan restaurant, the first way to play is during the day, and the third way is the most popular way to play at night."
Jin An, the old Taoist priest, and Li Yanchu instantly showed eyes that all men could understand.
The most exciting and exciting things are naturally kept at night, and those during the day are used to set off the atmosphere first.
At this time, Li Yanchu had found an empty seat and the three of them sat down.
At this time, there was the sound of guzheng on the stage.
There are several musicians playing guzheng.
However, there were only a few responses from the audience. The gentlemen and scholars were all drinking and talking, and no one paid attention to the performance on the stage.
It seems that everyone is looking forward to the most exciting performance of the evening.
"I wonder if I can see Miss Caihe during the day?" Jin An asked the real purpose of this trip.
Li Yanchu turned around and looked around, and then replied with disappointment: "Caihe sometimes goes on stage during the day and has the opportunity to play the pipa alone, and sometimes accompanies the singer at night."
Jin An understood it as soon as he heard it.
It turned out to be an accompaniment for the singer.
At this time, Li Yanchu quietly stood up and said that he would go find Caihe and asked Jin An and the old Taoist priest to wait for his return.
As a result, Jin An did not wait for Li Yanchu, but first waited for an unexpected person to appear in the hook.
It's that Monk Pu Zhi!
