Xiao Qingwan's ears twitched and she asked Qin Ming:
"Sir, isn't the Zuixianju that the old man mentioned is in Pingkangfang? Should we go there and have a look? By the way, bring a letter to the old man?"
Qin Ming was stunned for a moment when he heard this.
Yes, if Wan'er hadn't reminded him, he would have almost forgotten to reply to his grandfather.
Fortunately, I had already written the reply yesterday, but I just never thought about sending it out.
Thinking of this, he nodded and said:
"Okay, then let's go to Zuixianju in Pingkangfang."
Xiong Daxiong and Xiong Er felt happy when they heard this. The main reason why they came to Qin Ming today was to take him to Pingkangfang to participate in the poetry competition.
You must know that tonight's poetry competition is very different from the past. The winner can not only spend the night with the courtesans in the brothel, but more importantly, everything is free.
To put it bluntly, you can P for free.
Some people may ask, what does Qin Ming's victory in the poetry competition have to do with the Cheng Chumo brothers?
Of course, because Zheng Chu'er from Baihua Pavilion promised Cheng Chumo that as long as Cheng Chumo could invite Qin Ming over tonight, she would let Hua Niang accompany him alone in the future.
How could Cheng Chumo resist such temptation? Thinking of Hua Niang's soft body, he agreed almost without hesitation.
As for Cheng Chuliang, he just wanted to show off to his friends and see if he could make another fortune from Changsun Chong.
At this time, Xiao Changxi was only thinking about returning to Xingdaofang to see if she could see her long-lost family tonight.
Moreover, she also roughly guessed the purpose of the two young masters of the Cheng family wanting to take Qin Ming to Pingkangfang.
It would obviously not be appropriate for people like me to follow him.
So she hesitated for a moment, then walked up to Qin Ming and said:
"Sir, it's getting late now, so Xi and Zijun won't go to Pingkangfang."
Qin Ming frowned when he heard this, thinking that Xiao Changxi might have misunderstood.
So he explained:
"Today is the Lantern Festival. Everyone finally came out to play. Chang Xi, why are you in a hurry to go back? We are just going to Zuixianju to deliver a message and we will be back soon."
Xiao Changxi shook her head and said:
"Sir, don't get me wrong, Xi is just a little tired and wants to go back home early to rest."
Yang Zijun probably guessed what her mother was thinking. She hesitated for a moment, then walked to Qin Ming and said:
"Sir, you haven't walked such a long way for a long time, and you are a little tired. I think my mother is too, so why don't we go back first."
"Sir, Wan'er is a little tired too, why don't we go back home first?"
Qin Ming thought about it and said:
"Then I will send you back to the house first, and then go to Pingkangfang to deliver the letter to the old man."
Xiao Changxi shook her head when she heard this and said:
"Sir, it's faster for you to go directly to Pingkang from here. We'll have Si Snake and Mao Rabbit here to accompany you back home."
After hearing this, Qin Ming thought for a while and waved to the ugly cow on the side.
This time when he came to Chang'an, Qin Ming brought two team captains, Zi Shu and Chou Niu.
Just now Zi Shu was arranged by Qin Ming to get rice, and now the only guard leader Chou Niu is left with him.
As for Mao Rabbit and Si Snake, although they are also very skilled, they are women after all.
With their looks, I don't know how many people were fascinated by them when they walked on Zhuque Street.
Along the way, there were often men who just looked at them and bumped into trees on the roadside.
Qin Ming would be really worried if a group of these women were asked to go back.
"Chou Niu, you will take your team with you to escort Butler Xiao and the others back to their home. Please pay more attention to safety on the way, do you understand?"
Chou Niu nodded when he heard this and said:
"Sir, don't worry, I, the ugly cow, will be here to protect Butler Xiao and the others."
Xiao Changxi frowned when she heard this, glanced at Qin Ming worriedly and said:
"Sir, if Chou Niu escorts us back, who will protect you?"
Cheng Chumo patted his chest when he heard this and said:
"Don't worry, Butler Xiao. With our brothers here, everything will be fine."
Xiong Er on the side also jumped out, put his arm on Qin Ming’s shoulder and said:
"Yes, Butler Xiao, just don't worry."
When Xiao Changxi heard the assurances from the two Cheng brothers, she thought about it and felt that she was worrying too much.
So soon everyone was divided into two groups. Xiao Changxi led the girls in the house back, escorted by Chou Niu.
Qin Ming, on the other hand, walked shoulder to shoulder with the Cheng brothers and headed towards Pingkangfang.
.......
In the time of Xu, there was Pingkangfang and Baihua Pavilion.
At this time, Pingkangfang was more lively than before.
Especially the famous flower streets in Chang'an City are even more crowded.
The reason is very simple. Today, in order to attract guests, all major Qinlou and Chu restaurants in Chang'an City have set up stages at their doorsteps.
Let the girls in the brothel perform on stage one by one.
Many tourists stopped to watch.
When Qin Ming came to Pingkangfang, he saw this scene.
Some readers may want to ask, isn't Qin Ming going to Zuixianju? Why did you come to Flower Street?
It's a coincidence that Zuixianjun's location happens to be on the flower street with the most brothels in Pingkangfang.
What's even more coincidental is that opposite Zuixianju is Baihua Pavilion, one of the most famous brothels in Chang'an City.
Qin Ming stood on the long street, looked at Zui Xianjun on the left, then looked at Baihua Pavilion on the right, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
The last time he came here, he only remembered that there was a restaurant here, but he really didn't pay attention to the name of the restaurant.
Thinking of this, Qin Ming took Cheng Chumo and the two of them into Zuixianju.
Baihua Pavilion is one of the largest brothels in Chang'an City, so the stage tonight is naturally extremely gorgeous.
In order to attract customers, the brothel proprietress Zheng Chuer even stood on the stage in person, always watching the number of people below.
Whenever she finds that there are fewer customers, she will send the top waiters in the building to perform on stage.
Of course, in addition to the above reasons, there is another more important reason why Zheng Chuer is standing here as the boss is to wait for others.
It’s self-evident as to who to wait for.
Ever since Qin Ming wrote "The Theory of Love of Lotus" in Baihua Pavilion on the night of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Baihua Pavilion suddenly became famous in Chang'an City.
Many literati and scholars came one after another, and even many literati came from Luoyang, all in order to see the authentic work of "The Theory of Love and Lotus".
Since then, Baihua Pavilion's poetry competition every night has attracted the participation of many literati.
Among them were students who participated in this year's Spring Festival, as well as prestigious scribes from Chang'an, and even occasionally ministers from the court.
This makes Baihua Pavilion's poetry competitions these days, and good poetry and prose continue to appear.
As a veteran in the brothel industry, Zheng Chuer immediately sensed business opportunities.
In order to capture this wave of traffic, she framed the first essays from the poetry competition every night and hung them in the lobby of Baihua Pavilion.
This move instantly raised the level of Baihua Pavilion by several levels.
Baihua Pavilion's business is getting more and more prosperous.
However, as the popularity of "Shuo Ai Lian" gradually passed away, there were no new poems and essays comparable to "Shuo Ai Lian".
Zheng Chuer also found that the number of guests has been decreasing every day in recent days.
This also made her feel a little anxious, so she hoped that Qin Ming could come to Baihua Pavilion if he could write another poem like "The Love of Lotus".
Baihua Pavilion can use this to secure its position as the number one brothel in Chang'an City.
For this reason, Zheng Chuer sent many people to find Qin Ming's whereabouts during this period.
After several unsuccessful searches, Zheng Chuer set her sights on Young Master Cheng.
I hope that with the attractiveness of this flower girl, Cheng Chumo can bring Qin Ming.
When she stood on the stage and saw Qin Ming and Xiong Daxiong Er appearing on the street together, her whole body trembled with excitement.
