"My lord, who is this person? Do you know him?"
Outside Qinghefang, looking at the middle-aged man emerging from the flower house in Qinghefang, Zhang San grinned and glanced sideways at him.
Although they had been in Yingtian for some time, following Zhao Ding around these days, Zhang San had also met many dignitaries in the capital.
But he didn't recognize the person who poked his head out of the flower boat at all, and he didn't even have an impression of him.
As for falling in love at first sight.
Then take a rest.
As soon as we hit it off, I’ll treat you to a drink of flower wine.
Do you think you have blisters on your face?
Zhao Ding also glanced at the man and stood there thinking for a long time, but he had no impression at all. He shook his head and said, "I don't know him."
However, he quickly touched his chin and said, "Hmm, I seem to know him."
"Um?"
Hearing Zhao Ding's words, Zhang San frowned.
What does it mean not to know, yet it seems like we know each other.
But before he came back to his senses, he looked at Zhao Ding and walked forward with a loud laugh: "Ah, brother, you really have a keen eye. To be honest, not only did you see me, brother, I fell in love with each other at first sight, but also My little brother, when I saw Xiongtai, I felt like old friends at first sight.
What's the matter, are you here to listen to music? Tsk tsk, I wonder why magpies were chirping on the treetops in front of my house when I went out today.
Unexpectedly, I met Xiongtai here.
What a joy.
What a joy. "
Zhao Ding walked forward laughing, his face full of enthusiasm.
The corners of Zhang San's mouth twitched as he watched.
This scene seemed a bit familiar many years ago.
I remember that when my prince first arrived in Youzhou, the poor people in Youzhou were so poor that they had no choice but to go to Beiliang and Nanchen next door to fight in the autumn breeze in order to survive.
It's okay if you can find some food if you can find something to eat. If you can't find anything to eat if you can't find food, you can only go to Nancheng and Beiliang and become a mixed bag.
It was also at that time that countless wealthy businessmen from Nanchen and Beiliang became big grievances...
After hearing what Zhao Ding said, the middle-aged man with a heroic face was also a little confused.
He was originally a businessman who came to Yingtian from other places to do business. He saw that Zhao Ding's appearance was extraordinary, and the attendants behind him were not ordinary people either. At first glance, he seemed to have an extraordinary background.
Therefore, I started to think about making some connections, and maybe I would also have a network of contacts when I was doing business in Yingtian in the future.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Dingran was more enthusiastic than him.
This is really crazy.
But just when he was confused, Zhao Ding's hand was already placed on his shoulder very naturally: "Brother Zhang, right?"
What Brother Zhang?
My surname is Huangfu!
The middle-aged man with a heroic face was speechless.
But he still said with a smile on his face: "Brother, I made a mistake. Although Zhang is a common surname, my surname is not Zhang, but the compound surname, Huangfu, Mingtai. I am a person from Huanglong Taoism in Yanzhou, Daqian. My family has been in business for generations. I came to the capital today to make more connections so that I can have support when doing business in the capital in the future."
As he spoke, he took out twenty taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to the turtle slave beside him.
Very atmospheric.
Looking at it, Zhao Ding also smiled slightly.
The money for tea is saved.
But I still have to go to the palace to find someone to reimburse me later!
Otherwise, wouldn’t Zhao Ding suffer in vain?
Seeing that the turtle slave had collected the money, Zhao Ding laughed and said: "It turns out that my brother's surname is Huangfu. Why do we know him so well? What a coincidence, I am also surnamed Huangfu."
Listening to Zhao Ding's words, the expression on Huangfutai's face was almost embarrassing.
Haha, can you be more fake?
His surname is one of the few surnames in Daqian.
Most of the Huangfu clan lived in Yanzhou.
As for the capital, there is none at all.
Now Zhao Ding claimed that his surname was Huangfu. For a moment, Huangfutai felt as if his twenty taels of silver were wasted...
But looking at Zhao Ding, although his words were irrelevant, his appearance was extraordinary, and the way he raised his hands and feet revealed the aura of a superior.
Huangfutai still laughed sarcastically, "Ah, it turns out to be a clan brother. My Huangfu clan is originally a small Xicui clan with a small population, but I didn't expect that today I met a brother of the same clan in Yingtian. It's really gratifying. Congratulations.
What a joy. "
Huangfutai laughed.
Zhao Ding's mouth was straightened.
While shouting that his Huangfu clan belongs to the Xicui clan, he also shouts that he is a brother of the same clan.
Tsk tsk tsk.
This person is not easy to fool...
But it doesn't matter, Zhao Ding has already sneaked in with Zhang San anyway.
By the way, I also saved two people twenty taels of tea money.
Just wait for the person arranged by Zhao Chongyuan to come over and connect later.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ding couldn't help but glance at Huangfu Qi beside him, but seeing the latter walking in front with Gui Nu, he couldn't speak.
It didn't take long for the group of people to be taken to a hall where wealthy businessmen and nobles gathered.
In fact, it is said to be the hall, but in fact it is the cabin of this flower boat.
The length and width are about three to four feet each.
It may not be anything in future generations, but in today's era, with a few modifications, it can still be considered a good warship.
But one thing I have to say is that it is a place for [prostitutes], not [prostitutes].
That little tune is really elegant.
Even Zhao Ding... Bah!
If you say something wrong, try again.
Even Zhang San’s favorite thing is that the uncle is coming to play.
Ever since, after entering the hall, Zhao Ding became bored and looked around.
Huangfutai on the side was also discussing things with Gui Nu, and seemed to want to ask for a private room.
But there was no talk for a while.
So there was no time to take care of Zhao Ding.
Although Qinghefang is a place for prostitutes, it is actually a kind of brothel.
It's just much higher quality than those fireworks in Liuxiang.
It can be understood as "that grand feast" and "that world", a place of entertainment for people.
It is divided into four floors above and below.
There are three different types of prostitutes living there.
The floor below the deck is occupied by turtle slaves, or the maids who serve the study apartment and belong to the logistics department.
The deck on the first floor is mainly occupied by Yao Er. They belong to the "civilian" consumption who can come here. They can be understood as those women in Fireworks Willow Lane, but the [skills] are much better. If they are roughly classified, they belong to the "thin" Dog Business”
The second floor is the relatively high-end Chang San. It performs both as an entertainer and as a prostitute, but it does not accept ordinary guests. It only accepts distinguished guests. It specializes in providing "VIP" services. Generally, each Chang San only corresponds to one guest. It belongs to those who are raised by dignitaries. The "concubine" in the brothel.
Although the number of these Chang Sans is not large, they create most of the GDP in Qinghefang, so they can be classified as "Golden Bull Customers"
As for the study apartment on the top floor, that's incredible.
That is the sign of the brothel, the highest level, the true artist does not sell oneself.
Young and beautiful, elegant temperament, proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
The competition between different brothels depends on the standard of brothels, which is a "symbol of industry status".
Shuyu sat on it, with jade fingers flying lightly or red sleeves fluttering, while the guests sat around, drinking and enjoying themselves, supporting the party. ,
It's a pity that the bookstore in Qinghefang didn't seem to be here today. When Zhao Ding and the others took their seats in the hall, they didn't show up. They were playing and singing, which was a bit unsatisfactory.
However, it is also possible that Zhao Ding's free prostitution money is not enough to take a look at the study apartment in Hefang.
After all, it is necessary to create a signature and star effect.
Otherwise, how could these wealthy businessmen and gentry be willing to spend huge sums of money?
After another long while, Huangfutai, who had been talking to Gui Nu and the mothers of Qinghefang, came over. Seeing Zhao Ding, he said with a pity on his face: "Oh, today brother...it seems like you and my brother are here. It's not the day, Miss Su Luo seems to be busy today, so she doesn't have the opportunity to go to the third floor to take a look at the lady's beauty in Qinghefang Shuyu.
However, I finally managed to get a jade plate from another lady in Qinghefang.
Would you like me, brother, to come up with me and take a look? "
Huangfutai looked at Zhao Ding with a smile.
Zhao Ding glanced at Huangfu Terrace with squinted eyes, and asked tentatively: "The king of heaven overshadows the tiger of the earth?"
