Regardless of whether the young man riding the green bull has not shown up for two days in a row, Bafang Street is still Bafang Street. Although many people are very unemployed recently, after all, they don’t need to worry about money, and secondly, they don’t need to worry about taking care of their homes. , no one who lives in Bafang Street can afford a few servants, so he is even more bored. Except for the elderly people who are already very old, they still have free time. Even if they have never left the house, they can still play with some flowers and plants. The worst is to have a chat with people of similar age. This day can be considered to be a bit enjoyable. Those who are younger will go out to see the scenery, or they will take some friends to have tea and drink. After a whole day of entertainment, they will return to the mansion. Those with a stronger temper will inevitably bring down the servants below. Just a few words of scolding, if my wife is weak-tempered and meek, she will definitely bring a handsome maid with her so that she can let go of her drunkenness.
This kind of thing is already commonplace, and the servants in the mansion don't have the courage to talk about it, but every time they see the maids and maids asking the master to drag them to the back room, their faces are a little complicated for a moment, but they don't know. Either he is envious of the benefits this woman will receive, or he is sad that the rabbit dies and the fox dies, they feel sympathy for each other.
Baiqiong Tower has no free time today. Recently, the canal outside Xuanhua City has been newly repaired. Naturally, it is an excuse for young men from other places to come from well-off families to come to Bafang Street. After all, it is also an area with a great reputation. Young men who can enter Bafang Street , naturally it also brings a lot of glory to my appearance. After all, I have nothing to do all day long. No matter what I do, I always want to compete with a few acquaintances, ranging from writing, writing poems, martial arts, riding and shooting, to visiting Goulan brothels and throwing pots to make money. After some competition, now that the Yunqu Canal is newly built, it is of course necessary to take this opportunity to go for a good tour. Therefore, Bafang Street has been crowded with tourists recently, and Baiqiong Tower is naturally very busy.
But today Qiao Lan didn't see any guests. Everyone who knew him well knew that there were always a few days in every month when Qiao Lan didn't see any guests. There was no reason for that. It was Qiao Lan who went upstairs alone. Since then, he has just said that he believes in Buddhism and will spend the remaining few days of every month eating fast and chanting sutras. Even if the shopkeeper of Baiqiong Tower threatens him several times, he still does so. A well-informed person in the building said that in the end, Qiao Lan knocked on the door of the shopkeeper's bedroom twice, and actually established this rule. Three days before Wangri, Qiao Lan could freely enter and exit Baiqiong Tower, and even go out of Bafang Street. It just requires two thugs from Baiqiong Tower to follow.
Just because of this incident, Qiao Lan provoked many women in the building to speak sarcastically, saying that they were born to be inferior to the lower class, and they were not satisfied with just attracting and receiving guests, and wanted to go and serve two people. Go back to the shopkeeper to relieve your addiction.
Qiao Lan, on the other hand, never paid attention to her. Instead, she often talked about the women in the building who spoke harshly and harshly, saying that it was not easy to make a living. If she could stop others talking, she would be so aggrieved that she would fight for the ground with her head. What's more, most of them are already old. If they don't rely on their words to find some happiness, they will probably be depressed and retreat. In the end, they will be old and homeless, and end up in a miserable situation.
Today happened to be another day for Qiao Lan to eat fast and chant scriptures. Qiao Lan did not talk to anyone else, but in the early morning, he found Ting Lan who was still sleeping soundly. He explained a few words as usual, saying that he would hand over his business to Ting Lan, and then When he was about to leave, he saw Tinglan's sleepy eyes, but she got up in an instant, stood up and closed the door of the house tightly. After hearing that there was no one around, she slowly spoke.
"My sister and I have similar experiences. Since you are going to take advantage of this time to go out to eat fast and chant sutras to find out what happened in your own family, you might as well pay attention to it for me. The family members are all poor farmers, and the body and bones are naturally not abnormal. Unexpected When a serious illness occurs, people from Baiqiong Tower will come to you. After thinking about it carefully, it is really difficult to get over it."
It is rare that Ting Lan, who has always been very gentle and peaceful, speaks urgently this time. She ignores her messy hair and her current messy demeanor, and is hurriedly talking to Qiao Lan, who is already wearing a plain white dress in front of her. He said, looking very anxious.
"Just relax. Since you and I are in the same situation, of course we have to pay close attention. If you hear these letters, you must talk to your sister." Qiao Lan usually has a sharp temper, but he only talked to Ting Lan. Shijie, with gentle brows, gently smoothed the latter's messy temple hair, and then thought of something more, smiled slightly, "But you also have to promise me one thing. If you really know the secret of this matter, you are not allowed to say anything. What's more, you can't tell the people in Baiqiong Tower. Even if you think you can get along with them on weekdays, you can't reveal anything. The walls have ears. What's more, the person behind Baiqiong Tower is really too powerful. He's a little bit secretive, and his spies are all over the building. If he reveals even a little bit, he will definitely suffer a lot, and it won't help matters."
Baiqiong Building also has a side building with eight or nine floors in the main building. In the side building, only a few of the building's handymen and thugs live. In order to avoid danger, they built a new building and divided the floor between the women in the building and the handymen and thugs. daily life. The business of Baiqiong Building is huge. Even in the whole world outside Bafang Street, there are branch buildings everywhere, but the business is the largest here. Many people speculate that the owner behind Baiqiong Building is probably the one with mysterious methods. Bafang Street Street Master, apart from the fact that the original poster has never shown up for many years, and moreover, he is the only Bafang Street Street Master who often takes the time to come here, so it suddenly becomes more interesting. For such a huge business, it is natural to hire a lot of handymen. Even if they are not very skilled, at least there are people who come to pick fights and cause trouble. Looking at dozens of strong thugs, the confidence is naturally two points weaker. Since it is doing Of course, people in this profession are indispensable. According to a rough calculation, the monthly income of thugs is much richer than those of those who work as escorts and escorts all day long.
No wonder people all say that if you have a prostitute and a few skilled men, you can make the brothel business prosperous. Over the years, the number of shops in Bafang Street has changed countless times, but Baiqiong Tower is the only one. The family has always been prosperous and the business has been prosperous, and there has never been any sign of failure.
Knowing that Qiao Lan had to go out today, she went to the temple to burn incense and chant Buddha's name. Naturally, there were two or three people in the side building. The rest of the busy people were all stationed around the Baiqiong Tower to avoid any trouble. Most of them were She hugged her arms and exposed a red handkerchief on her shoulders. This was a common rule in every brothel. It was better to mess with a high-ranking person than a red-shouldered girl. Firstly, most of these thugs have very strong backings. Secondly, these thugs come from the martial arts world, and their hands are black. The lively and high-ranking young men may only get beaten up once, but if they are upstairs, If you cause trouble, you may be beaten by the thugs, and then you will have to lie down alive for two or three months, which is already regarded as being left alone.
Rumor has it that there used to be a brothel in Xuanhua City, and the thugs hired were all those who had practiced dark power for decades. In addition, rogues like this often came to the door to pick fights and cause trouble. The tallest master among them once lightly handed out a palm and knocked out a girl. The meridians all over the Dandy's body were almost shattered. It took two or three years of searching for famous doctors everywhere before he could properly maintain his body and bones. Since he was neither reasonable nor able to suppress the brothel owner based on his family background, he had no choice but to suffer from depression until he was almost 40 years old. Whenever it rained continuously, he would lie down on the bed and moan for a long time. The orifices are connected to the joints, like a swarm of ants seeing honey, and the itching is unbearable. After this incident, the high-ranking young men who went to the brothel to have fun, even if they had a high profile, had to restrain themselves a little. At least when they saw the thug holding his arms and looking at him coldly, his heart inevitably skipped a beat. Restrain your actions.
The same is true today. Most of the thugs went to Baiqiong Tower to protect them, but there were only a few masters who no longer needed to go to do such a job. Firstly, they had been in Baiqiong Tower for a long time, and secondly, they were skilled. Excellent, it is no longer the turn of these few to come forward for such ordinary chores, so I invited two of these masters to accompany Qiao Lan. They thought it was just to relax their minds. They are quite good at it. of leisure time.
"This little girl is very arrogant. Even if the owner of Baiqiong Tower comes here, we don't have to go to accompany you. Such a young lady who is waiting for the guests, but she wants me to accompany you and go to chant some birds. "Jing, although we can take advantage of this to go out and take a look at the scene, we really don't have the thought."
Before walking out of the side building, a lean man complained about the short stature of the man next to him. He was very impatient, wiped his face with his calloused right hand, curled his lips and muttered, "Brother Zhu is really good-tempered. If If it were the younger brother, he might have already been kicked out when he came to invite people. No matter how he chanted sutras and chanted Buddha, Xuanhua City was not small, but if the girl from Baiqiong Tower was secretly thrown out, I'm afraid it would be the city gate. They may not be able to get out, so they will be brought back and suffer physical and flesh pain for nothing. But any master who has never had a donkey poke his forehead knows how to behave, so why do you and I need to go and guard it?"
Zhu Kuai, a short-lived man, always had a dull expression and was famous for being taciturn. He was in the side building and practiced martial arts in the backyard every day. He was still as good as the best in the world. Hard Kung Fu, a single palm shake using an unknown amount of kilograms of strength, splitting stone monuments, uprooting weeping willows and breaking green bricks, has long been commonplace. Since he first arrived, his skill has been the highest in Baiqiong Tower. Even Gao Yong, a lean man, has little ability to resist. After so many years, no one can predict that this man has no hobbies all day long and only knows how to shut up. No one dared to compete with the martial arts masters, no one dared to compete with them. Only Gao Yong went to compete once. When he went out, he shook his head repeatedly, saying that the ducks and geese in ordinary people's homes were definitely no match for the swans in the sky. , it’s better to give up the idea as soon as possible, so as not to feel uncomfortable coming forward.
But Zhu Kuai had a rare smile at the moment and pointed outside Baiqiong Tower.
"This is to let you and I get a huge advantage. If you are not happy, you might as well find someone else."
The lean and elegant man looked back, licked his lips, wiped the corners of his mouth, and kept smiling.
"I won't change it, I won't change it. Brother Zhu, don't mention it. The sky outside is just right. It's time to go out for a walk. Just look at the clouds in the sky. They are so big and white."
