Hu Diquan smiled and said: "Do you know why the lights are not on here? If you can see clearly, you will not get started. You must be firmer when you refuse. You will be pulled in after a little hesitation. Next time you will do it yourself. If you come here alone, remember."
Xie Fu laughed dumbly, as if he was thinking about this place very much.
After a while, Hu Diquan led Xie Fu into a tile house. The lights in the tile house were brighter than those in the courtyard. A middle-aged woman in her forties or fifties came forward to greet her. She was dressed very ordinary, unlike Xie Fu. In my impression, the brothel mother looks like a matchmaker.
"Uncle Hu is here again."
Hu Diquan laughed and liked being called uncle, and asked: "Mom, is Guixiang here?"
The old bustard smiled and said, "Guixiang is busy."
Hu Diquan frowned and said, "Aren't you free? I'm running after her."
The old bustard smiled and said: "Why are you in a hurry? It will take a while and you will be free soon."
Hu Diquan smiled and said, "That's good, that's good."
The madam glanced at Fu Xie, "This gentleman is quite handsome..." As he spoke, he suddenly slapped himself in the mouth, "Look at my mouth, this young man is quite handsome."
Hu Diquan said: "I almost forgot to introduce you. This is my brother, his name is..."
Xie Fu interrupted: "My surname is Xie, my mother is good." If the word Xie Fu spreads from here to the Xie Mansion in Yangzhou, both of his legs will have to be broken. Although it is unlikely, he has to guard against it.
The old bustard said "Wow", "Master Xie is so sweet-tongued, young and handsome. Damn it. Among my daughters, I don't know who will suffer tonight."
Fu Xie had heard these flattering words so many times in Yangzhou brothels that he couldn't take them seriously. He didn't expect that the people in Washi and brothels were the same.
Hu Diquan said: "Mom, I will ask you to take care of this brother of mine." As he spoke, he leaned close and whispered in the old madam's ear.
"Guixiang and Hong'er are the two best girls here, and the price is also the highest. Your friend is really willing to spend a lot of money."
The old bustard led Xie Fu to a room, "Hong'er, the guests have arrived." When Xie Fu walked in, he smiled and said, "Master Xie, have a good time." After saying that, he closed the door and left.
The room is not big and simple, with only one bed, one couch, and one table. As for calligraphy and painting, there is nothing elegant. A woman in red is sitting on the couch, with her back to Xie Fu, wearing a thin dress. , the belt was not fastened, and the dress slipped down as soon as her hands moved.
When Xie Fu saw the snow-white skin on her shoulders and back, his face immediately turned red, and he quickly said: "No need to undress, I'll sit for a while and leave when the time is up."
It's not that Xie Fu has never had close contact with women. He is the kind of person who blushes when he sees a woman. It's just that he is so direct, but this is the first time he has met her. Moreover, he and the brothel woman have always been friends through literature. That kind of thing, don't do this kind of thing.
The woman turned back out of curiosity and was surprised when she saw Fu Xie's young and delicate appearance. She probably didn't expect that such people would come here. When she saw that Fu Xie looked restrained, she didn't dare to look at her, but she showed a faint look of disdain, "Don't It’s a waste of time, once it’s fresh, it’s the second time it’s familiar, when it’s over, I’ll give you a bonus.”
Xie Fu said: "You put your clothes on first." The other party was half naked, but it made him very uncomfortable.
The woman smiled contemptuously and said, "It's up to you." She lit half of the incense and said, "This half of the incense has been burned, and you have to leave if you don't want to."
Xie Fu waited for the woman to put on her shirt and skirt, and then looked at her. Her facial features were not weak, but she was no longer young.
The woman noticed that Xie Fu was looking at her and said with a smile: "Have you thought clearly?"
"Don't think about it, I'll come with my friends and leave when the time is up."
The woman looked like she had seen many men playing tricks, with a look of disdain on her face, a cold expression, and a laziness in her voice: "Then just wait."
Xie Fu is the kind of person who can endure loneliness and silence. Ever since the girl in red put on her clothes, he has returned to his natural state. There is a man and a woman in the room, and they are silent. The atmosphere is weird. He is not cramped. Look there, look, you can see the wall, you can see the ground, you can see the windows, you can see the roof, you can see the lampstand, you can see the clothes on the girl, you can see the shoes...
Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. This is an experience, just like reading. If you read to death, you can only be a nerd. When people read books, they must eventually return to real life.
After a while, the woman in red seemed to be tired from sitting on the couch, so she lay down on the couch and fell asleep on her side with her back to Mr. The red skirt seemed to be as weak as her owner, hanging on the ground along the edge of the couch.
This is just an ordinary and cheap bamboo couch, but it seems that the woman in red has also become soft and moving. The beauty and softness of the scenery at this moment does not lie in the objects, but in the people.
Silently, the half stick of incense was quickly burned, and Xie Fu stood up, wanting to leave something behind, but he was penniless and had nothing valuable on him.
So she left the hairpin in her bun, tied her hair back up with a scarf, gently opened the door and walked out, then gently closed the door, as if she had never been here before.
There was a faint sound of opening and closing the door, as if the sleeping woman in red realized it later, opened her eyes, with a hint of surprise on her face, glanced at the closed door, and then her eyes fell on the men's hairpin on the table.
Hu Diquan was shocked and waited outside. Although he was sweating profusely, his face was refreshed. When he saw Xie Fu, he said: "I didn't expect you kid to be able to persist for such a long time."
Xie Fu smiled and responded.
Hu Diquan asked again: "How do you feel? Although this Hong'er is more beautiful, but cold, I don't like it. Guixiang is different, passionate. I heard that this Hong'er used to be a brothel lady, so this is also Maybe it’s because she’s arrogant and cold.” As she said that, she suddenly changed the subject: “Bah, you’re so old and you still think you’re a green onion.”
Xie Fu didn't make any comments. Everyone has their own life, and everyone has their own story. To him, Hong'er was just a passerby, no different from the passers-by he met on the street.
The two of them left this dark place. Xu Shi had not yet passed. For Qixiangjiufang, it was still early. Xie Fu said he wanted to take a look at Panmen.
Hu Diquan said with a smile: "You want to see these luxury boats parked on the Suzhou River and the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal."
Xie Fu responded with a smile: "Just take it as such."
Hu Diquan said with emotion: "The boats over there are much bigger, and they are not comparable to the small boats on the river."
…
Two women, a master and a maid, were walking on the alley of the Seven Lanes and Nine Lanes.
The young lady has a fairy-like face, she is nine years old, her skin is as smooth as snow, and her eyes are as clear as spring water, as if she were a woman who came out of a dream.
This woman's name is Gu Xianting, and she is the daughter of the Gu family in Huizhou. The Gu family in Huizhou and the Gu family in Wuzhong are of the same clan and lineage. Although they are not as famous as the Gu family in Wuzhong, their wealth is better than that of the Gu family in Wuzhong.
Two months ago, Gu Xianting passed through Wuxi County. At that time, famine and plague broke out. Xie Fu went to Wuxi County under the pseudonym Li Shaoming and pretended to be the county magistrate to treat the epidemic.
During this period, Gu Xianting contracted cholera and was sent to the quarantine facility. His life was in critical condition. It was Xie Fu who used special methods to save Gu Xianting's life.
