The original name of the Imperial City was Luo City. Since the Daqian Dynasty established its capital here more than two hundred years ago, the name of Luo City was gradually forgotten by people, and instead the Imperial City became the name of the city.
However, the famous objects with a long history in the imperial city still remember the original name of the city.
For example, Luohe.
The Luo River is the only river that runs through the Imperial City. This river gave birth to the people in the Imperial City and had a decisive influence on the Imperial City.
For example, the moat, which is very important to the imperial city, was built artificially after the establishment of the Daqian Dynasty. Its water comes from the Luo River. The moat can also be regarded as a tributary of the Luo River.
The importance of Luohe is self-evident.
Because of the heavy snow, although the Luohe River has not frozen yet, you can still see clots of snow floating on the water from time to time.
For this reason, flower boats can be docked on the shore.
Under the leadership of Lin Ranyu, Ye Yan approached the flower boat.
As soon as they got close, a group of young men wearing thick gray linen clothes came forward and greeted the two of them for a while.
Taking this opportunity, Ye Yan raised his head and glanced at the door plaque at the entrance of the wooden boat, which had the three characters Huayuanfang engraved on it.
This surprised him.
Because people in ancient times were very particular about names, any kind of shop usually appeared in the streets and alleys.
It's really strange for a ship to have such a name.
The soul of the online novel author in his body activated and he became very interested in this.
This is equivalent to the world expanding and completing his novel. If he understands it, he can wait until he returns to the original world and use it.
Whether written into the original novel or starting a new book, this is valuable information.
You know, authors who write historical novels basically write about places like brothels.
With the information he obtained through personal investigation, the writing is absolutely authentic.
Thinking of the beautiful life after returning to the modern world in the future, Ye Yan couldn't help but smile.
It was at this time that Lin Ranyu completed a handover similar to the shortlisting inspection with the boys.
As the most popular flower boat in the Imperial City, Huayuanfang has no shortage of customers every day, so it has certain requirements for the quality of its customers.
Those brothels that scream along the street to attract business are the kind that can't survive.
Lin Yuanyu looked at Ye Yan with strange eyes and said, "Brother Liu, why are you laughing while looking at the door plaque of Huayuanfang alone?"
"Second Miss...Brother Lin, let me ask you something. Why did this boat get the name Huayuanfang?" Ye Yang just wanted to call him Second Miss out of habit, but fortunately he realized Lin Yuanyu's attitude toward him. Name, he was able to correct it in time.
"Brother Liu is giggling because of this?" Lin Yuyu shook his head, expressing his incomprehension.
However, she still explained: "The name Huayuanfang should have been passed down many years ago.
Not only Huayuanfang, but also the flower boats on the Luo River today, with the word "fang" behind them, are all names passed down from the past. "
As Lin Yuyu described it, a piece of history that Ye Yan didn't know about unfolded before his eyes.
Every dynasty has its own stages of development from establishment to prosperity, and then from prosperity to decline.
If in the process of turning from prosperity to decline, there is no emperor who can turn the tide, then the dynasty will come to an end.
The same is true for the Daqian Dynasty. This is Ye Yan's setting based on the real development of the dynasty, and he naturally knows it.
But what he didn't know was that this setting caused corresponding changes in the former Luo City and the current Imperial City.
In the early days of the Daqian Dynasty, Luo City had just been captured.
The founding emperor of the Daqian Dynasty plundered a lot of money from the city for the development of the dynasty, and many wealthy businessmen and aristocratic families suffered.
This caused the per capita living standard in Los Angeles to drop a lot.
The ones most affected were the brothels at that time.
The brothel failed to develop and was forced to disband, leaving the women inside to make a living alone.
But they know nothing, what else can they do except return to their old profession?
Then there was a situation in Luohe River at that time, that is, every night, small wooden boats always appeared on the river, and each wooden boat carried one or two scantily clad women.
They either pick up passengers on the boat or pick them up at the customer's designated location.
This convenient, fast and discreet way of picking up guests was suddenly welcomed by the majority of men.
So much so that those good girls also participated.
It was under this background that Flower Boat developed to what it is today.
After hearing this, Ye Yan had a complicated expression.
It turns out that real history is so heavy.
Ye Yan took a deep breath and said, "Brother Lin, let's go in."
Now he has no curiosity at all. He just wants to quickly complete the purpose of coming here and meet the girl Qingchen first before talking about anything else.
In this way, the two entered the interior of Huayuanfang.
As soon as he walked into the first floor, Ye Yan smelled the scent of rouge and gouache, which made him rub his nose uncomfortably. He was allergic to this stuff.
Among the women he came into contact with, none used too heavy rouge and gouache.
Especially Lin Xianyu, who has never been used at all.
Lin Ran used language, but it was mainly light, mainly to set off her mature temperament.
In terms of dressing up, Lin Ranyu, as a female villain, naturally has her own ideas.
Those who were not familiar with her and Lin Xianyu would definitely think that Lin Xianyu was her younger sister.
Lin Ranyu on the side saw him like this and couldn't bear to say: "Don't rub your nose, it's so red.
Come closer to me so it won't feel so bad. "
Hearing this, Ye Yan subconsciously approached Lin Ranyu, and their arms were close to each other.
Soon, the faint scent of bluegrass reached his nose.
Although this orchid grass fragrance is very light, it can firmly occupy a dominant position among other fragrances.
This really made him feel less uncomfortable.
Seeing that his condition was getting better, Lin Ranyu said: "This is the rouge gouache developed by my mother. She said it was made for an old friend who was sensitive to rouge gouache.
I didn’t expect that you also have such a physique. "
"Your mother?" Ye Yan was a little confused.
He spent a lot of writing on Lin Ranyu's mother, but why didn't he know about it.
"What's wrong, do you know her?" Lin Ranyu was a little confused when she heard Ye Yan's confused tone. She felt as if Ye Yan knew her mother.
Ye Yan noticed Lin Ranyu's probing tone, and he quickly added, "Who is your mother's old friend? There are not many people who are allergic to rouge and gouache. Maybe I know her."
Lin Ranyu sighed and shook her head: "I haven't seen it before. I just saw a painting among her belongings. She cherished that painting very much during her lifetime."
