If there is any place where there is joy and laughter all year round, it must be Hualou.
The brilliance of the flower building almost meets the most direct needs of ordinary people for "desire". Especially after she achieved the level of a singer, she turned what was essentially a flesh-and-blood business into a "romantic affair" and could even be judged on the stage.
Don't think that all the people visiting the flower house are men. There are also female customers here, but the number is much smaller than the number of male customers. And they usually don't enter through the main entrance of the lobby, but through the back door. There will be a special room for female customers. Play in the open side hall. As for what they were doing, it was the same as what the men were doing in the lobby, except that the priorities of the two parties had changed.
When she arrived at the door, the madam still looked the same. The wrinkles on her face when she smiled could catch flies. It was said that she had also been an oiran when she was young.
"Hey! Master Shen, Master Zhang, Master Gan! Please come in quickly!"
Shen Hao is also a frequent visitor to Hong'en Courtyard. His first impression is that there seem to be a lot more people at the door today than usual. There are especially many young people dressed in simple scholar's clothes. They look around excitedly and anxiously, as if they are expecting. What are you wearing? There are quite a few people like this, surrounding the entrance of Hong'en Courtyard.
Out of professional habit, Shen Hao glanced at these people a few more times, and was pulled by Gan Lin beside him: "Stop looking and go in."
"Who are those people?"
"Poor."
"Huh?" Shen Hao didn't understand at all what connection the people outside the door had with poverty and looking around at the door.
"Those are the poor and stupid people who are waiting for Ning Ziyi. They have no money to come in, so they can only wander outside, hoping to catch a glimpse of Ning Ziyi from a distance. They are all stunned."
Shen Hao thought about it before he understood it. He secretly thought that Ning Ziyi was quite popular. Sometimes there are places in the two worlds that coincide with each other, making Shen Hao smile knowingly.
The old bustard was leading the way sideways, talking non-stop and complimenting her, which probably meant that Hong'en Courtyard had been looking forward to Shen Hao's visit for a long time. This time when Ning Ziyi came over, they even reserved the best box for Shen Hao, and Lianxiang will also come to accompany you soon. Finally, he added, "It would be great if Mr. Shen could keep another calligraphy treasure today."
Shen Hao smiled and did not answer the Madam's words. Although his poems are not really composed by himself, but are inherited from his ancestors in another world, it does not matter who wants to give them, it depends on his mood.
After entering Hong'en Courtyard, the Madam took Shen Hao and the three of them directly upstairs. It's not the top-floor hot pavilion, because it's not convenient to watch the show in the lobby later. Therefore, the wing room arranged for Shen Hao and the others was on the second floor, facing a slightly off-center position.
This location is not the best, but it is definitely very good. When you open the door to the wing and walk inside, you can see the stage downstairs.
As soon as we sat down here, attendants came to settle down. Tea, dried fruits, and a pair of dominoes in a very interesting way.
"Come on, brother Shen, let's do some tricks." Gan Lin grabbed the dominoes in one go, and made the pile of dominoes clatter with flying fingers.
"Brother Gan, my current level of cultivation is higher than yours. Are you not afraid of losing again when you try to make money with me?"
"You're so scared! Look what is this, kid?" Gan Lin proudly took out a palm-sized Dharma plate and placed it on the table with a snap.
"Is this...a sensing disk? It's for checking true energy?"
"Good eyesight!" Gan Lin laughed and said: "With this thing, let's see how you can cheat! Come on, come on, do some tricks before the dishes are served!"
Next to him, Zhang Qian was also eager to give it a try.
Only Shen Hao was amused and didn't say much. He just nodded and started playing along. It is true that he cannot avoid the induction of the Dharma Disk, but as long as he gets the card and covers the card with his true energy to prevent it from leaking out, the Dharma Disk will not be able to detect anything strange. Of course, this method has very strict requirements on the use of Qi, but if others can't do it, it doesn't mean that Shen Hao can't do it.
Therefore, after half an hour, Gan Lin and Zhang Qian's faces became numb.
Lost again!
Fortunately, it didn't take long, and Zhang Qian and Gan Lin lost a total of more than 2,000 points to Shen Hao. However, this result was really depressing, because in this little half hour, neither of them won a single game, and they all lost. !
"You cheated!"
"How is that possible?" Shen Hao first stuffed the banknote into his storage bag, then took a sip of the tea on the table.
"You definitely cheated! Otherwise, with your poker skills, you wouldn't have been able to defeat two dozen of us!"
Shen Hao just laughed and said nothing. Of course he cheated, but you can't feel it yourself, nor can the Dharma wheel sense it. I warned these two people in advance that they were going to lose, but you didn't believe it. Now that you have won more than two thousand for a small amount, you are already showing mercy.
Gan Lin was very angry after losing money, but Zhang Qian was okay with it. Shen Hao, who laughed and scolded him, then firmly said that he would not play with Shen Hao for money in the future. He also joked that if the money was not enough when he left later, Shen Hao would have to make up for it. Who let him win the money?
But Shen Hao ignored it.
As soon as the food was served, the fragrant breeze blew in from outside the door, and Yingying and Yanyan found their places to sit down.
She has a fresh face, she is the "new sister" Zhang Qian said before coming here. Shen Hao took a look and wondered if he had not been around Fengyue for a long time and the standards in Hongen Courtyard had changed.
In the past, it seemed that Hongenyuan always followed the slim route, but now these two new ladies are really plump and fat, and they are very capable at first glance. The key is that there is that kind of desire in their eyes, and they are also Don't tell me, just the appearance is more straightforward.
"Haha, Brother Shen, you have to wait. It will take a while for Miss Lianxiang to come down. Why don't you have a bowl of rice first?" Gan Lin hugged the young lady and teased Shen Hao happily.
Shen Hao was really not in a hurry. He picked up his chopsticks and started eating. He was really hungry.
On the other hand, the two new singers who were waiting for Zhang Qian and Gan Lin carefully peeked at Shen Hao who was sitting in the front seat. Before they came, they felt quite relieved when they learned that there was the powerful Shen Shaxing on the table. Uneasy, but also very curious. Now I can't see anything except handsome and young. I heard that this man is a great talent. If he can win favor, can he also compose a song for me?
We still have to have dreams, what if they come true?
But when Lianxiang walked in wearing a long white dress and light makeup, the two new girls who loved to dream had to wake up from their dreams.
"You haven't been here for a long time, what's the matter? Are you tired of the old?" Lianxiang walked straight to Shen Hao and sat down next to him, her little mouth pouted slightly, as if she was dissatisfied.
"You haven't even put it in your mouth yet. How can you get tired of it? Why don't you give me a taste first?"
"Hmph, you haven't tasted it yet? I think you came here just to admire Sister Ziyi!"
Shen Hao laughed and said no, and then continued to cook rice, while Lianxiang served him food with a smile, while talking quietly, the atmosphere was strange but harmonious, and the two couples across the table were already blushing for some reason. no the same.
