As the sun rises, the first ray of sunshine shines on the earth. People on the street have long been accustomed to starting a new day with the sound of roosters crowing. At the entrance of the General's Mansion, figures were standing there, bathing in the sunshine, leaning against the stone pillars of the mansion, with relaxed expressions. It was Ci Song and his friends.
"Ci Song, I've seen you again. I thought that after you were admitted to that academy, you just ignored your brothers!" Xu Shaocong walked up with a smile and held Ci Song's hand. hand, a pair of peach blossom eyes narrowed into a slit.
Ci Song smiled when he heard this, stretched out his hand and tapped Xu Shaocong's head gently, and said with a smile: "That's right, after I passed the exam, I became a noble scholar. What are you? You are a dandy!"
"Haha, Ci Song, you know how to make fun of us. We don't know your abilities yet? Although you pride yourself on being some of the most talented among us, DNA. If you can really get admitted to Yan Sheng Academy, then you will be considered a gift to us dudes. I breathed a sigh of relief." A young man in brocade clothes came forward with a hint of teasing on his face.
"Hey, you are really right. We, the dandy from Zhongzhou, can only rely on me to fight for our reputation." Ci Song joked.
"You can pull it off. Our brothers have discussed it and decided not to let you drink anymore, so as not to make a joke like last time." Xu Shaocong patted Ci Song on the shoulder and said.
A group of people also laughed.
Amid laughter, a group of people embarked on the road to the brothel. Ci Song's friends were all children of rich and powerful families. Along the way, Ci Song discovered that their speech and manners were quite different from those of the playboys Ci Song perceived.
Their quality is not too low, and there are even a few who can quote scriptures. At least in Ci Song's opinion, some of these people's conversational skills are indeed much better than his own.
Ci Song originally thought that this group of people were just arty people at best, but when he heard Xu Shaocong say that some of their playboys were planning to stop him from drinking this time, he realized that this group of people was actually a group of people. There is also some loyalty.
He is just a playboy, and he is not a good bird at heart. Although he has loyalty, it is also the kind of loyalty based on self-interest.
For example, along the way, Xu Shaocong's attitude towards Ci Song was entirely based on Ci Song's family background and his own strength. How many of them really wanted to be friends with Ci Song?
The answer is no!
Of course, this is not to be blamed on them. After all, among them, almost all of them are arrogant and arrogant. In their eyes, in this Zhongzhou City, except for the high-ranking officials and ministers and even the royal children, they are not as good as them. Others are nothing more than ants in their eyes.
In this brothel, whether it is singing, dancing or fine wine and food, ordinary people cannot enjoy it. For this group of friends, not only can they meet all kinds of strange people and things here, gain more knowledge, but more importantly, they can "relax". The group of people chatted and laughed, and soon arrived at a brothel called "Cuiyuan Building".
This Cuiyuan Road is quite exquisitely built, with cornices, brackets, carved beams and painted buildings, all showing the ingenuity of the ancients. Entering it, you will feel the fragrance of wine and the melodious sound of piano, which makes you feel relaxed and happy.
As soon as everyone entered Cuiyuan Tower, a beauty in red came forward to guide everyone. Her eyes were a bit charming, and there was a smile on her lips, which made people's hearts flutter when they saw her. Especially her graceful figure attracted the attention of everyone present.
"Hey, Master Xu, long time no see, are you still at the same place?" the beauty in red said with a smile.
"Well, it's still the same place." Xu Shaocong nodded and replied.
"Here are the gentlemen, please." The beauty in red smiled slightly and led the way.
A group of people then followed the footsteps of the beauty in red and arrived at an elegant private room. As soon as he entered the private room, a burst of fresh air rushed towards him. Compared with the outside world, the air here seemed a bit fresher.
The private room where everyone was sitting was in an excellent location, and you could just watch the Qing Dynasty performance on the first floor. They were all intoxicated, dancing gracefully, like dancing butterflies, which made people dazzled.
Everyone present seemed to be accustomed to such performances in brothels.
Ci Song had never really been to a brothel. In his original understanding, this brothel should be the kind of place where literati and elegant people came here to relax.
But when he entered the Cuiyuan Building, he realized that it was more like a social place than a place to relax.
Most of the people here are arty people. Their purpose of coming here is just to increase their knowledge and make friends.
But those who really seek pleasure are "dandy" young people like him, because their family backgrounds are prominent enough to qualify them to degenerate here and become dandies.
Ci Song looked down and saw a group of women surrounding several men in fine clothes. The men were chanting poems in unison, making the women tremble.
This is not difficult to understand. Ancient brothels were not particularly shameful places. Many literati came here. In the impression of Ci Song Dynasty, the most famous one was undoubtedly the "Little Li Du" who was called "Little Li Du" along with Li Shangyin. "Du Mu.
Du Mu's wonderful writing skills spread far and wide. In the prosperous Yangzhou, Du Mu's footsteps traveled to brothels and brothels, and he was drunk at night. Whenever the banquet was over, Du Mu, who was very drunk, would take out his pen, ink, paper and inkstone, spread them on the chests of the guests, compose impromptu poems, or write poems directly on the women's thighs, which was very romantic.
Therefore, Ci Song did not have much rejection of such places.
"Shaocong, if you two brothers are chatting, our brothers will not accompany you."
Several other dandy boys expressed their intention to enjoy their own "nightlife". Their purpose was very clear, that is, to have fun here. After joking with each other, they left the room.
Xu Shaocong didn't pay too much attention. He just called to the woman in red and said, "Matchmaker, I wonder where Miss Li Ge is now? Are you still in the building?"
"Oh? What kind of test?" Xu Shaocong picked up the wine glass, took a sip and asked.
When Ci Song heard it, he also became interested.
"It's very simple. What Miss Li Ge likes most is a talented person, so the six arts are used as the test direction. Who can write poems and songs that move her, or paint a satisfactory painting, or even play a moving song If you sing the song, you will be welcomed by Miss Li Ge."
