"Don't talk nonsense. I'm going to visit friends, why not visit a brothel? How can I be a eunuch and visit a brothel?"
Long Chen denied it flatly.
Xiang Ning giggled and said, "Sir, stop pretending, they are not here, and I won't sue you."
"You only need to worry about the princess alone. If she comes to check your bed, you will be doomed."
Zhang Qian and others went to Nanda Camp to train cavalry. They were not in Qiuxing Hall and could not control Long Chen.
The only danger is Di Luoxi checking her bed.
"If the princess comes, do you know what to say?"
Long Chen pinched Xiang Ning's little nose.
"Know."
Xiang Ning pretended to be angry.
"Really know? Are you so smart?"
"You must have learned wisely after following the adults for so long."
Xiang Ning was a little proud.
Long Chen patted the money bag on his waist and sighed: "I don't have any rice in my hand, and I don't even come when I call. A man has no money and no dignity."
I was despised by an old madam in Jinyu Garden last time. It was really embarrassing. I will make sure to bring good money when I go out from now on.
"By the way, bring me my little box."
Long Chen pointed to a small box on the table.
Xiang Ning took it over, smelled it, and there was a fragrant smell, and asked, "Did you bring anything to eat?"
Long Chen smiled and said nothing, holding a folding fan, Long Chen rode out of the palace.
The terrifying shadow of the flower-picking devil dissipated, and the streets returned to their former liveliness.
Walking through Long Shuai's Mansion, hundreds of craftsmen continued construction, while the supervisors were watching.
Long Chen walked around and looked at the flowers, and arrived at a mansion with a sign written on it: He Mansion.
After knocking on the door, a boy opened the door and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Long Chen smiled and said: "I came to see Brother He Wenbai and told him that I am Long Chengen."
When the boy heard that it was Long Chengen, he immediately opened the door to greet him: "It turns out to be General Feilong. Please, I will report to the young master."
Before the boy could go in, He Wenbai came out, pulled Long Chen, and said like a thief: "General Long, let's talk in another place."
Long Chen felt strange and asked, "Why?"
He Wenbai smiled sheepishly and said, "Sorry, I'm really sorry."
After the two of them left the He Mansion and went outside, He Wenbai said, "I'm really sorry, my father is inside. He hates visiting brothels. If he knows about it, I will lose my skin."
Long Chen felt strange and asked: "Then you often stay up late at night and visit brothels, and your father didn't notice?"
He Wenbai chuckled and said, "I always tell dad that I'm looking for my cousin."
Hu Zhiheng is He Wenbai's cousin.
"Does your father believe such nonsense?"
"To be honest, General Long, my father is relatively honest. He will believe whatever I say."
Long Chen was stunned and speechless, is this sincerity? This is so stupid! Why would Gongsun Yun marry his daughter to such a bastard?
While talking, the two of them arrived at a teahouse, where Hu Zhiheng booked a private room.
After entering the box, Hu Zhiheng said with a smile: "General Long, it's rare that you have so many things to do all day long, but you are actually free to ask us out today."
Long Chen secretly laughed: How do you know that I am managing thousands of ladies in the harem?
"I'm always busy with trivial matters, so I have to take some time off today."
Long Chen sat down, and He Wenbai diligently helped pour tea.
Hu Zhiheng asked: "General Long, I heard that cousin Linglong wants to fight with you?"
He Wenbai sat down and said in surprise: "Why didn't I know? Doesn't Sister Linglong only like blacksmithing?"
Long Chen smiled and said: "I don't know either. What happened a few days ago was entrusted by Lao Zhuguo, so I can only agree."
Hu Zhiheng kindly reminded: "Cousin Linglong has a bad temper, please be careful, she knows how to beat people up, she really knows how to beat people up."
This hammer is a literal hammer, a physical attack.
Long Chen felt a little embarrassed when he heard that these two cousins were really good at causing trouble.
"Thank you both for your generous donation last time, and I will pay you back in full today."
Long Chen took out the gold coins and returned them to the two people.
The two laughed and said, "General Long is too polite, but there is actually no need to return the favor."
The two quickly put the gold coins into the bag, and said that the friendship between gentlemen is like water, and talking about money hurts feelings.
"Do you have any idea what I'm asking you to help me with?"
Long Chen asked.
Hu Zhiheng said: "Yes, we helped General Long find the best one in the capital, which is in Rouge Lane."
He Wenbai smiled and said: "The boss lady is also a first-class beauty, but she is not easy to see. We don't have the ability."
Hu Zhiheng chuckled and said, "We still have to see what General Long can do tonight. If we go in and get a glimpse of the landlady's beauty, it will be worth it."
Long Chen smiled and said, "Okay, I'll just wait until dark before leaving."
The three of them bragged and spanked in the teahouse until it got dark, and then the three of them rode horses slowly towards Rouge Lane.
....
At the beginning of the lanterns in Rouge Lane, men and women entered in cars and horses. The bustling crowd, singing and dancing with silk and bamboo, and laughter came one after another, and it was like singing and dancing to bring peace.
He Wenbai led the way, while Long Chen rode a horse and sat leisurely on the street. A little girl flashed through the crowd, holding a bunch of snacks in her hand, her mouth bulging, just like a little hamster.
"is her..."
This little girl is the flower seller Ya'er.
Long Chen wanted to step forward and say a few words to her, but a candy vendor not far away passed by, and Ya'er immediately slipped over to buy the candy.
"Snack food..."
Long Chen shook his head and smiled.
He Wenbai thought that Long Chen had met an acquaintance, and asked, "Brother Tian, have you met your old friend?"
Long Chen smiled and said: "I have an old friend, don't talk nonsense."
The three of them arrived in front of a building that read: Xiu Pavilion.
"Sir, this is it."
Hu Zhiheng said.
Xiu Pavilion is not big, with only two floors and three entrances to the courtyard. The location is also a bit remote, in the north corner.
"I thought it was a big place."
"Brother Tim, this place is not big, but it is very famous. This landlady is famous all over the world."
Long Chen gently shook the folding fan and said with a smile: "Let's go in and take a look."
There are two lanterns hanging at the door, and the embroidery on the outer cover is very delicate.
Walking further inside, I saw a parrot standing on a shelf.
"Brother Tim, that's it."
He Wenbai pointed at the parrot and said.
Long Chen looked carefully and saw that it was a red-headed parrot. The fur on its body was very thick and it looked a bit like a thief.
Hu Zhiheng explained: "This is the boss's favorite pet. Whether it can enter the embroidery pavilion depends on whether it allows it."
Long Chen walked up to the parrot and said with a smile, "We want to meet the boss lady."
The parrot tilted its head and glanced at He Wenbai and Hu Zhiheng, then shouted in a loud voice: "You ugly monster, don't come in, don't come in!"
He Wenbai and Hu Zhiheng said with dark faces: "Brother Tim, the proprietress of this embroidery pavilion is particularly picky about her appearance. Regardless of gender, she must first be able to see this parrot before she can go in."
"The two of us... although we are also first-class handsome men in other places, we are a bit worse here."
The two of them actually looked good, but the parrot looked down on them, and they were very annoyed.
Long Chen took out a box from his sleeve, and the parrot immediately shook his head and stared at Long Chen.
Opening the box, it was Long Chen's special meatballs, which were mixed with sesame seeds, beans, and sesame oil.
"Do you want to eat?"
Long Chen chuckled.
The parrot opened its mouth and pecked, quickly finishing the meatballs.
"How are they two?"
After the parrot ate something, he immediately changed his mind and said, "Three handsome guys, please come inside! Please come inside!"
He Wenbai smiled and said: "The saying is true, cannibals are short-mouthed, this little beast."
Long Chen led the two of them into the embroidered pavilion, and came face to face with a pretty woman, wearing mink velvet clothes, with a red plum blossom visible on her neck.
Yes, this embroidery pavilion is a place for tattoos.
"General Long has such good tricks, he actually deceived Xiaoying."
Xiaoying is that parrot.
"The Xiu Pavilion is difficult to enter. There is no way."
Long Chen chuckled.
"My wife is upstairs. General, please go upstairs on your own."
"Two gentlemen, follow me."
Long Chen went upstairs, and He Wenbai and the two followed the woman to the backyard.
After walking up the wooden stairs to the second floor, there was no one at the door of the room. Long Chen knocked and a sweet voice came from inside: "Please come in."
Pushing the door open and walking in, I saw a woman wearing a white dress, a bun, and a bun on her head.
He is about 35 years old, with peach blossom eyes, willow eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, and two shallow dimples on his face.
This person is the proprietress of Xiu Pavilion, and outsiders call her Xiu Niang.
The embroiderer is leaning on the desk and painting. There are many paintings hanging around the room, including flowers, birds, insects, fish, gods, Buddhas, monsters.
Long Chen walked over and saluted: "Long Chengen, I met the Pavilion Master."
Xiu Niang is the host and Long Chen is the guest, so basic etiquette is still required.
The most important thing is that this big sister is so beautiful.
The embroiderer raised her head, looked at Long Chen carefully with her eyes, stood up and bowed, "The slave family has met General Long."
The embroiderer bowed her head, her figure soft and charming.
Young women have the beauty of young women, and mature women have the charm of mature women. They know better what men like.
"It is said that the master of the pavilion is the most beautiful woman in the world. When I saw him today, he turned out to be one of the gods."
Long Chen first paid some compliments.
The embroiderer straightened her long sleeves and giggled: "I've heard that General Long is among the flowers. He is the best at talking sweet words and wins the favor of women. I saw him today and it's true."
Long Chen smiled and said: "I'm just telling the truth, the Pavilion Master has a peerless appearance."
The master of the pavilion smiled and asked Long Chen to sit next to him. He poured the tea himself and asked, "I wonder why General Long comes to my embroidered pavilion?"
Long Chenshi said: "To be honest, one of my generals was injured and had a long scar on his heart. She was very concerned about it."
"I want to learn tattooing from the Pavilion Master and turn her scars into embroidery."
The Pavilion Master smiled brightly: "General Long has several beautiful generals under his command. Can you tell me which one they are?"
Everyone knew it, and there was no need for Long Chen to hide it.
"Bai Tingting."
The Pavilion Master smiled and said: "I met her once. She likes to dress up as a man. She is prettier than me."
Long Chen chuckled and didn't make any comments.
At this time, it’s wrong to call anyone beautiful, so let’s just not say it.
"Does General Long mind her scar, or does she mind it herself?"
The pavilion master's flirtatious look made Long Chen feel a little moved.
Mature women are very good at it, especially how to seduce men.
"The wound was left for me. Why would I mind? It's just that she cares about it and I don't want her to be unhappy."
Long Chen really didn't care.
The master of the pavilion smiled and said: "I envy Miss Bai for being able to win General Long's sincerity, but I'm not very good at tattooing. Why don't I tattoo a pattern for Miss Bai?"
