In ancient times, brothels and brothels were not comparable!
During the Spring and Autumn Period, Guan Zhong, a wise prime minister of the Qi State, established a brothel in order to increase wealth, pay taxes, and enrich people's livelihood.
The culture of brothels has a long history. As a place to play music and enjoy dancing, it can be said that it has blossomed everywhere in today's peaceful and prosperous age, attracting countless literati and elegant people to fall in love with it, and also gave rise to many romantic and romantic stories.
Qingyin Pavilion, where Liu Desheng placed Dongfang's grandson, was the top brothel in Huaxing County.
In other words, this Qingyin Pavilion is separated from Xia Qing's Wangbei Tower by a wall, but they are completely different.
Most of the people who come to Wangbei Tower are heroic and brave men. They have good wine and meat and are heroic, so it is a lively and noisy place.
Most of the people who came to Qingyin Pavilion were literati. They danced with Qingling and won a lot of elegance.
Liu Yi's father, Liu Quansheng, is a frequent visitor to Qingyin Pavilion.
Wangbei Tower and Qingyin Pavilion have the same idea, they are both engaged in the wine and meat business, but because of their different audiences, they are almost compatible and will not compete with each other for profit.
Although Qingyin Pavilion has always been suppressed by Wangbei Tower, it has not made any noise. Xia Qing and Xu Jian, the owner of Qingyin Pavilion, even became brothers of the opposite sex. They exchanged their knowledge and needs, and the two agreed to work together to make money!
Let me ask, who would have a mortal enemy with money?
Therefore, Qingyin Pavilion and Wangbei Tower are bustling and bustling every day. The seats are always full of guests and the glasses of wine are not empty. Together, the two families build the prosperity of this Bei City and even the entire Huaxing County.
Through win-win cooperation, the two of them made a lot of money.
...
Driven by a strong farmer, Dongfang Chunsheng's oxcart creaked and creaked. It took half an hour to arrive at Qingyin Pavilion. In front of the flower-filled door of Qingyin Pavilion, shopkeeper Xu Jian was already waiting at the door. Behind Xu Jian Within half a step, there stood Yangliu and an old man from Miaoshoufang carrying a medicine bag.
Seeing Yang Liu again, Liu Yi frowned slightly, and soon showed a sense of enlightenment. He opened his eyes wide, mechanically turned his head, and glanced at Dongfang Chunsheng. Dongfang Chunsheng happened to be squinting at Liu Yi, and the old and the young looked at each other. Looking at him, Mr. Dongfang showed an extremely helpless smile.
Liu Yi lowered his head and clenched his fists, his heart filled with anger.
Seeing this, Dongfang Chunsheng stretched out his arm with all his strength and patted Liu Yi on the shoulder, "My child, a man of great talent, with thunder in his chest and a tidal look on his face. Only by knowing how to exercise patience can he achieve what others cannot."
Liu Yi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly adjusted his mood.
...
As a clerk at Wangbei Tower, Liu Yi had known Xu Jian for a long time. Before the strong man from the farmer could approach in an ox cart, Liu Yi ran over quickly, bowed and handed over his hands, and said "Uncle Xu" smoothly. Xu Jian's belly was full. After returning the greeting with a smile, Liu Yi turned sideways and shouted at Wangbei Tower, "Boss Xia, come out quickly, the Jianghu is in danger! The Jianghu is in emergency!"
Just as Liu Yi was about to roar again, a thin figure with a big head sprang out from Wangbei Tower like a rabbit. The figure quickly came to Liu Yi's side, pointed at Liu Yi's head, and smashed chestnuts one after another. Whether it's light or not, he said as he beat me, "I told you not to close the window the day before yesterday. I told you not to close the window. The leaves blew all over the floor. I didn't open my business all day! I have to clean up the house!"
Liu Yi was not an idiot either. He ran back to the bullock cart and hid behind Dongfang Chunsheng who had been helped up by Dongfang Yu. He stuck out his tongue and retorted, "Boss Xia, what you said is wrong. As the owner of the restaurant, you naturally have to take full responsibility." As for the responsibility of running the restaurant, the windows of the restaurant were left open the day before yesterday, which delayed business. I can only blame you for your negligence, Boss Xia, but how can you blame me entirely?"
Xia Qing was furious and wanted to step forward to teach Liu Yi a lesson.
Mr. Dongfang, who was guarding Liu Yi, smiled awkwardly at Xia Qing, and Xia Qing stopped.
Xia Qing, a human spirit, squinted her eyes and walked to the oxcart. She looked at Xu Jian and the doctor, and then at the old man Dongfang, who had a face full of scars. He suddenly understood something. He had just taken out a dozen money plants from his bag. , Good words, good words, and I took a good look at the morning glory man!
This morning-glory man didn't think too much. He put away the money and hurriedly disappeared from sight. It didn't matter whether he was a distinguished guest of the Liu family or a nobleman! Get the money first and then talk!
The foreign affairs have been decided, and the court is full of 'insiders'.
There were all acquaintances in front of him, and the fat Xu Jian did not say any more polite things. He took three steps forward, bowed his hands and saluted, "Senior Dongfang, my Excellency Xu Jian, whose courtesy name is Jinggan, is the shopkeeper of Qingyin Pavilion. I am entrusted by Mr. Liu today." , settled Dongfang Grandpa and grandson in a temporary residence to recuperate, now everything has been arranged, senior, please!"
Dongfang Chunsheng nodded slightly, which was regarded as tacit approval.
So, Xu Jian led the group, Dongfang Chunsheng was supported by a servant, followed closely by Dongfang Yu and the old man with the medicine bag. Xia Qing, who should not have been involved in this matter, walked at the end holding Liu Yi's ear. Yangliu has long since disappeared, presumably to set up defenses.
Qingyin Pavilion and Wangbei Tower have completely different styles. Compared with the grandeur of Wangbei Tower, the entire Qingyin Pavilion is more clever and exquisitely decorated.
I saw a pair of couplets hanging on the left and right of the main entrance of Qingyin Pavilion, drafted in eight-point script, with the sentence "Dance to clear the shadows, and the pipa will fly in the sky", which makes people think a lot after seeing it.
Stepping into the pavilion, red gauze, red silk, and red carpets come into view. The several-story Qingyin Pavilion is overflowing with peonies. Every ten steps there is a wine cart, and the fragrance of Dukang is wafting. There are seven or eight rabbit fur incense mats around the cage, and the wine is placed on it. On the table, peonies are used to surround the mats, artificially forming naturally isolated mat tables. The overall shape is chaotic and calm, and there is a hazy beauty everywhere, which is really beautiful.
Going further, there is a stage every twenty steps, each nine feet long and wide. A prostitute is dancing on the stage or playing on the side of the stage, surrounded by red gauze, dancing red silk, and spreading fragrance on the red carpet.
During the banquet, the guests drank wine, listened to music, or wrote poems. The orchids were fragrant and the leaves were fragrant, the jade saliva was fragrant, and the water and moon on the balcony were truly romantic in the world!
The group of people did not linger in the wonderful scenery. In the midst of wine and wine, they walked straight through the main building of Qingyin Pavilion, walked out of the back door, and came to the unique backyard.
Walking around the screen, everyone's eyes lit up.
I saw small bridges, flowing water, plum blossoms and small pine trees. It was light and elegant, in sharp contrast to the bright red and purple of the main building.
"Three years ago, the eldest son spent a lot of money to buy land and build a backyard, with the intention of expanding a piece of pure land and making friends. No one is allowed to enter this place without the eldest son's warrant. There are ten martial artists in the bird-repelling realm and six martial arts in the breaking wind realm. He, three tree-shaking warriors, and thirty guards are extremely safe, Senior Dongfang can rest peacefully!"
Xu Jian led the way sideways, speaking softly and in a low voice, with deep meaning in every word.
There was no one around all the way, but as soon as they reached the depths, a silhouette suddenly appeared on the side of the corridor. They saw the man in loose clothes and a carefree appearance, leaning on the corridor to drink wine. Liu Yi and Xia Qing stood silently. Suddenly, Liu Yi shouted, " father!"
The man turned around slowly, his eyes wandering and confused. He was wearing a black cloth robe and a hemp rope around his waist. He had big eyebrows and big eyes, a straight nose and a slightly flat nose. He had a wide mouth and thin lips, broad shoulders and a thin back. He was eight feet tall. He had wine on his left hand and a book on his right hand. , eyes slightly narrowed, head tilted slightly, looking at the group of people.
Suddenly, the man's pupils were dilated and he was very excited. He put down the wine and threw the book, and trotted towards Dongfang Chunsheng. There was a rustling sound in the small pine forest. Xu Jian waved his hand, and the pine forest became silent again.
Three feet away from Dongfang Chunsheng, the man stood breathless, with his clothes tied up and his hair tied up, and he performed the apprenticeship ceremony, "Student Liu Quansheng, worship the teacher! The six rituals are bound to be practiced, and you will never forget them. The teacher's teachings will be used for life!"
That man was Xia Qing's eldest brother, Liu Yi's father, Liu Quansheng, the third son of the Liu family in Lingyuan.
Everyone knows that Liu Quansheng studied under the Confucian Xianda Academy, but how could he be related to Dongfang Chunsheng of the same family?
Therefore, the group of people had different expressions, Xu Jian was suspicious, Liu Yi was surprised, Xia Qing was steady, only Dongfang Chunsheng, who was breathing heavily, had mixed emotions on his face, as if he had mixed feelings.
After a few breaths, Mr. Dongfang raised his right hand slightly, pointed at Liu Quansheng and trembled wildly, raised his nose to the sky and sighed, "That's all, get up, you are a good boy!"
Then, Dongfang Chunsheng turned to look at Liu Yi, grinned sincerely and said, "Are you Quan Sheng's son? You are also a good boy!"
After a brief exchange of greetings, Dongfang Chunsheng continued to move forward with the support of Liu Quansheng and the guidance of Xu Jian.
The courtyard at the back is not big, and a few people quickly walked to the end of the road. Here, there is a two-story hut. The hut is surrounded by water on the outside and forest on the inside. Once inside, there is nothing to play with, only the smell of books and ink. Showing elegance, it seems that Liu Desheng has really put a lot of thought into Dongfang Chunsheng's visit!
After another round of pleasantries, Xu Jian and Xia Qing returned together. They smiled and said they wanted to try out the newly arrived prostitute from the big brothel in Nancheng!
The old man from Miaoshoufang gave Dongfang Chunsheng a massage to invigorate his blood. After prescribing the medicine, he took the bag and left together with the maid from Qingyin Pavilion who delivered the meal. The slightly crowded hut became spacious.
On the soft couch in the hut, Dongfang Chunsheng improved slightly. Dongfang Yu was feeding him rice and cooking medicine, while Liu Quansheng and Liu Yi sat on the floor. Liu Yi sat casually, while Liu Quansheng kept his eyes straight and looked serious.
Liu Yi looked at Liu Quansheng's respectful and restrained look, and was unavoidably surprised: Dad has always been unconventional and unrestrained, and he didn't have this kind of virtue when he was worshiping his ancestors. Could it be that Grandpa Dongfang is the immortal who descended from the mortal world? How could he control a madman like dad!
Dongfang Chunsheng slanted his body and looked at Liu Quansheng with empty eyes. His face was calm and his body was motionless, standing there like an old monk in meditation.
Seeing him like this, Liu Quansheng wanted to speak but stopped, so he had to stay there quietly.
After a long time, the old man came back to his senses and asked in a low voice, "Quan Sheng, do you know when the county annals were revised?"
Liu Quansheng lowered his eyebrows and cupped his hands, and replied respectfully, "Teacher, ten years will create a county, fifteen years will create a county, twenty years will create a state, and thirty years will create a country!"
Dongfang Chunsheng slowly relaxed and laughed, "There is a tragic wind outside the Great Wall. If nothing changes, decades later, Lingyuan County will finally record a note in the annals: Lingyuan Liu's eldest son, Jingtian Shunde, died at the west gate of Lingyuan. Kowtowing to the famous elders is actually a courtesy to the virtuous and corporal people. If the person who compiles the county annals is interested, he may even tell me, haha, I, the Dongfang Chunsheng commoner grass root, can continue a good story with the Liu family of Huaxing! I am lucky in my three lives. , three lifetimes of luck!"
Dongfang Chunsheng made some sarcastic remarks, and then shook his head in self-mockery, with dissatisfaction and helplessness towards the bullying party in his eyes.
Dongfang Yu finished tinkering with the firewood, built a fire wall behind the screen, arranged the bedding for Dongfang Chunsheng, pouted, stuffed his head into the blanket, and with a cry, started crying again!
Dongfang Chunsheng laughed loudly, stroked his beard with his hand, and said boldly, "Don't cry, don't cry. He has no name in the history of thousands of years. It doesn't matter whether he has a good name or a bad name. Just leave his name. Just leave his name!"
Dongfang Yu suddenly got out of the blanket and looked at Dongfang Chunsheng with a pout. His beautiful eyes were full of warmth and unwillingness, and he said bitterly, "I'm not afraid of grandpa's bad reputation. I just hate that grandpa has not vented his bad breath." The second son of the Liu family He comes out to beat people, and the boss of the Liu family comes out to use both soft and hard tactics, so what? All the good guys and bad guys call him the Liu family?"
Dongfang Chunsheng laughed, "Hahaha! The days are long! Come on, come on, Quan Sheng, come forward, I have something to say."
Liu Quansheng stood up and approached, kneeling down in front of Dongfang Chunsheng's couch. Dongfang Yu ran to the second floor knowingly. When he passed by Liu Yi, he gently tugged on his clothes and motioned for Liu Yi to go upstairs with him.
Liu Yi showed his white teeth and shook his head at Dongfang Yu. Dongfang Yu turned around and left with angrily.
Dongfang Chunsheng looked at Liu Yi, then slowly turned his gaze to Liu Quansheng, and asked softly, "Who is this child?"
Liu Quansheng nodded slightly, "Yes!"
Dongfang Chunsheng's eyes gradually flashed with light, and he showed an expression as if he was thinking about breaking the formation after hearing the drums. Then he laughed loudly and his laughter lasted for a long time.
"The mountains and rivers have great relics, and the descendants will come again. The group of birds in Xingming Villa were noisy day and night. It was very noisy. I was so irritated that I took my precious granddaughter out to see the world. My grandfather and grandson were the first to go through this journey. Guilin, look at the spirit of the young Liu An family, who escaped into the ruined city with a sword at a young age; then enter Mingzhou, look at the Jin brothers by the Yin and Yang Lake, who are amazingly talented and invincible in mental arithmetic; in the wilderness of Wuling County, the unknown scholar Chang Can He vowed to write a book that will be passed down through the ages; outside the White Horse Temple, the Buddha's light shines everywhere and all dharma is empty; in the Qiguang Taoist Mansion, Ji Dun and Wang Xizhi were the leaders of their time in painting and calligraphy; at the foot of Wudang Mountain, Xiao Xie Yun's magical skills and incomparable agility... . In my opinion, these people are expected to gain a glimpse of the secrets of heaven, cultivate the realm of the Mysterious God, become immortals and ascend in this life, and they are young, so great!"
After saying this, Dongfang Chunsheng closed his eyes and grinned, stretched his body, and was immersed in the joy of traveling.
"Fifteen years ago, your Majesty reorganized the nine states. At that time, I was still serving in the court. Your Majesty took me to Quzhou to observe the local customs, observe people, and recommend virtuous people. At that time, there was a talented man in Lingyuan County, Ruqie. Like studying, like polishing, you are as talented as I was when I was young!"
The old man smiled proudly, and Liu Quansheng grinned in embarrassment, "Teacher, you are overrated."
"Who knew that I would become an old drunkard!"
Dongfang Chunsheng said this sentence in a tall tone, blowing his beard and glaring at Liu Quansheng.
"Quan Sheng has lived up to his teacher's high expectations. Quan Sheng had a dissolute temperament since he was a child and was not good at dealing with officialdom. Now he has inherited the cuteness of his ancestor. He has to drink fine wine all day long and meet close friends. In his spare time, he has to write a few love poems. During the day, I have to teach a few students. I don’t regret where I went, I just regret that I was in such a hurry, that’s all.”
Liu Quansheng was sincere in his heart and outward in form, but the excitement in his eyes when he first saw Dongfang Chunsheng gradually faded away, and he regained his clarity.
"What kind of bird fart is that brat? How many dung balls can you poop when you stick your butt out? I still don't understand, old man? Back then, you abandoned high-ranking officials and returned to Lingyuan City alone from Chang'an, Gyeonggi Province, overnight. There was a deep meaning in it that others couldn't see through. I still don't know. Can't you see through it? That's it, that's it! Don't mention the past again, my child, just be honest about what you have done. You have to remember that nothing in this world can be forced. If the day comes when the end of everything comes, find A small island to live in seclusion with this child for the rest of his life is a good choice."
Dongfang Chunsheng regained some strength, his voice was a little louder, but his expression was slightly unwilling.
Liu Quansheng nodded, with gentleness in his eyes, and spoke the truth, "Over the years, students seem to have been caught in a tangled thread, trying to cut and cut, but they can't figure it out. But students believe that as time goes by and the current situation changes, , one day, the student union will unravel the mess and make clear arrangements for what happened back then and what happened after this child's death."
"Heavy snow weighs heavily on the green pine trees, and their branches are not even touching the mud. Once the red sun rises, it is still level with the sky." A little poem slowly flowed out of the old man's mouth.
After saying this, Liu Quansheng lowered his head and said nothing, and Dongfang Chunsheng also lowered his head and said nothing.
Liu Yi was confused when he heard it, but he didn't study it carefully.
After half a cup of tea, Dongfang Yu came downstairs chatting away. When he saw the silence in the house, he squatted beside the medicine stove, just poking firewood and keeping silent!
The scene seemed a little awkward.
In the awkward expressions of Liu Quansheng and Liu Yi, the old man began to brag again, "Quansheng, you have a good son! This child is righteous, kind, and as talented as I am!"
Liu Yi couldn't help laughing in his heart and joked, "Teacher, you are a reciter, how talented are you?"
Dongfang Chunsheng sat cross-legged and said seriously, "Come on, little Liu Yi, today you relied on outsmarting and saved my grandson's life from Liu Bu. This kind of kindness should be greatly appreciated, but my grandson is penniless." , the family's wealth should not be taken so frivolously. I will ask you a question, and if you answer it satisfactorily, I will give it to you as a big gift."
Liu Yi is a young man with a young heart. When he heard that there were still gifts available, his eyes lit up and his head nodded like a rattle.
Dongfang Chunsheng became energetic, "You should be aware of the changes in my expression on the bullock cart today. Fear, surprise, doubt, anger, and worry all accounted for some of it. Do you know what this anger is?"
Liu Yi rolled his eyes, then quickly stood up, cupped his hands and said, "The "Han Code: City Defense Chapter" says that anyone who secretly closes the city gate will be killed regardless of his superiority or inferiority. Liu Desheng publicly apologized to Grandpa Dongfang today in front of everyone with a junior ceremony. , this move is just a small favor to Grandpa Dongfang, but according to the national law, it is a crime worthy of death. However, everyone present is in the same situation and cannot find out. The reason why Grandpa is angry is because of this. ?”
Liu Quansheng looked sideways at his son, with a strange look on his face, surprise and a touch of anxiety.
Dongfang Chunsheng looked pleased and laughed! He took out something from his pocket.
"The most precious treasure of heaven and earth should be given to the young man of heaven and earth."
