Walking in the hazy before night, with a slight cold wind, Su Xiaolou and his party arrived at Fengxianju, the largest brothel in Yangzhou City.
"Let's go! Let's go in and check it out!"
The blind man rubbed his hands obscenely: "Boss! Which girl's bottom should I touch? Under her skirt or..."
Su Xiaolou slapped the blind man on the head, which was full of yellow paint: "Of course I want to touch the salt merchant. The only thing on my mind is the girl all day long. I think you are really going to be useless."
"Shouldn't you go to the salt shop to learn about salt merchants? Boss!"
"You can't see the real salt merchants behind the scenes even if you go to a salt shop. As the saying goes, salt merchants make so much money when they are full of food and wine, what do they do?"
"Oh! Boss is wise!"
"I wonder why the boss is dressed like this today..." The fat man instantly remembered the words 'peacock in full bloom'! But he didn't dare say it for fear of getting beaten.
"What is that?" Su Xiaolou asked.
The fat man suffered the loss of being uneducated and was so anxious that he broke into a cold sweat. He couldn't think of a single word. The blind man took over the words and said: "Suave, handsome, tall and handsome, five to six, gentle..."
"..." Nine people can't make up one educated person, it's useless!
When Su Xiaolou stepped into the door of Fengxian Residence, the smell of powder came to his face. It was full of orioles, swallows, and rouge powder. He didn't take a fancy to any of them. The few people inside were fascinated by the drunkenness, laughter, and teasing. Some were agitated, while Lu Datong looked bitter and resentful.
"Oh! What a handsome young man!" A cooing voice was soft and gentle to the bone. Su Xiaolou felt a weak and boneless hand across his face, and turned to look at a lively and charming face. This woman was round and pretty, and she held Su Xiaolou's arm when she came up and looked at Su Xiaolou with a smile.
"The slave fell in love with the young master at first sight. The young master is willing to sit down and have a drink with the slave and share a moment of happiness!" The woman got closer and closer, and her whole body was almost pressed against Su Xiaolou's body.
Su Xiaolou felt the softness on his arms. This girl was a beauty, but it was a pity that her face was not even as good as his little dynamite bag! There was no way he could compare to Yue Qingyan, how could he be so fond of her.
Su Xiaolou took out his arm and called the good guy card to the girl: "My dearest lady, Naihe is uncomfortable with me. I deeply apologize!"
"you……"
The woman put her hands on her hips and glared at Su Xiaolou with a layer of anger in her bright eyes: "Poor man! I'm not too rich to serve you!" The woman turned and left to find the next target.
"Boss! You have such a small face, a small waist, and a big bun, but you are not attracted to it. Don't give it to me!"
"Our boss might prefer eating steamed buns!"
Su Xiaolou hit Xiong Er on the head with a fan: "We have forgotten that we are here to find out. Can you be more dedicated and learn from us, Captain Lu? Even in a romantic place, we are still concerned about salt affairs. We look cynical. Look like that." Lu Datong rolled his eyes and almost rolled his eyes to the sky.
Everyone walked inside. The entire Fengxian Residence was a three-way polyarchitecture pavilion that was symmetrical about the central axis. The roof had green eaves and green tiles. The interior of the house was twists and turns. The layout was exquisite and meticulous. The top beams and pillars were all made of fine mahogany. The pillars were hung with fine red silk, and red lanterns were hung high on the roof, illuminating the whole room.
After leaving the front hall, rockeries and rocks were lined up in the courtyard, and the chirping of frogs and birds echoed among the flowers and plants. Everyone walked through a corridor and arrived at the back courtyard.
The guard at the courtyard gate stopped Su Xiaolou and his party: "Show me the jade slip!"
Su Xiaolou was stunned: "What jade slip?"
"You need jade slips to enter the back courtyard." Seeing the two guards at the door who were eager to get out of the house and wanted to be beaten, Su Xiaolou knew that the happiest place must be in the back courtyard, where a gate could separate the poor and the rich. People are separated.
"How can I get the jade slips?"
"The front room spends one hundred taels or more."
One hundred taels! Everyone's eyes widened. Is this Yangzhou city already extremely rich? They didn't use the same currency unit. Even Su Xiaolou and Lu Datong, who had seen the world, couldn't help but be surprised.
"Farewell!"
Su Xiaolou turned around to leave, only to hear the guard continue to say: "If you don't have enough money, you can also buy a one-time red sticker."
"How much does the red sticker cost?"
"Fifty taels of silver." It was exactly a month's salary for a captain. Su Xiaolou could barely accept it, so he took out his wallet and paid the money.
Others began to have difficulties. None of the eight people could spare five taels of silver. They were so poor that their grandma’s family was so poor! Everyone looked at Su Xiaolou eagerly, saying that they also wanted to go in.
"You guys can figure it out on your own!" Su Xiaolou ignored them and walked in with a red sticker. If you listen carefully, you can hear the complaints behind him:
"Boss is so unscrupulous!"
"Then what do we do?"
"What else can we do? Go to the front hall! That girl I fucked the boss with just now was great! I like it!"
…
Su Xiaolou went up to the attic in the back courtyard, and was dazzled by everything in front of him for a moment. If the front courtyard can be described as luxurious and luxurious, the back courtyard is simply rich and charming. The attic has a patio-like layout, with large and small things in all directions. In the two-story wing room, there is a gorgeous giant stage in the middle. Red silk hangs high above the stage, and hundreds of hydrangea are hanging down.
A beautiful figure sits in a giant golden cage in the middle of the stage. Strips of red gauze pour down from the top of the cage, covering the surface of the cage. The appearance of the person in the cage cannot be seen clearly, which arouses endless reverie.
The woman is playing the piano, and the sound of the piano is melodious and graceful, just like a beautiful lady whispering in your ear, which makes people have endless aftertaste.
Su Xiaolou was invited into a private room on the first floor by the waiter. There were fruits, pastries, and fine wine on the table. He sat on the soft cushions and listened with his eyes closed for a while. He played the song "Feng Qiu Huang" really well. The joyful expectation is mixed with the fear of disappointment. This girl might already have a sweetheart!
Romantic affairs are about mutual consent. When he learned that this girl already had a sweetheart, Su Xiaolou immediately lost interest. He looked around and found that the private rooms on the second floor were generally larger and more luxurious than those on the first floor. The view is also better. The really rich people should be on the second floor. Maybe there are big salt merchants inside. They don't bother to make friends with people on the first floor. They have to find a way to get to the second floor.
Su Xiaolou called the boy and asked, "How can I get to the second floor?"
"Only customers with jade slips can go to the second floor." The waiter stopped Su Xiaolou's thoughts with one sentence. This store is really shady. Those modern membership-based operations are probably the legacy of feudal dross. .
Su Xiaolou showed Jin Yiwei's waist badge and asked, "Can this person go to the second floor?"
The boy looked embarrassed: "This...isn't this embarrassing my guest?"
"What if I have to embarrass you?" There was a hint of threat in Su Xiaolou's eyes.
The boy hesitated and said again and again: "Sir, please wait a moment. Let me go and ask the person in charge for instructions."
