The Anxiang Tower was built on the former site of Pingkangfang. Changsheng knew where the Anxiang Tower was, so they came to the street where the Anxiang Tower was located during the watch.
Anxiang Tower is not the only place for fireworks here. The whole street is full of similar pavilions and houses, just like the fake Fireworks Willow Alley. At this time, night has fallen, and the whole street is brightly lit, and people looking for flowers and willows can Rubbing shoulders and heels.
Just standing on the street, you can already smell the fragrance of powder in the air. The fragrance of these powders is varied, most of them are various floral fragrances, and there are also some special spices from the Western Regions. For ordinary men, this fragrance has a lot of influence. A strong temptation, but for Changsheng who is used to the smell of incense, these smells are a bit pungent, not unpleasant, but compared with the sandalwood of the God of Ceremony, these scents are less spiritual and a bit more vulgar.
Changsheng and Datou came to Anxiang Tower without stopping on the street. They went directly to the door of Anxiang Tower. This street runs north-south. Anxiang Tower is located in the middle area on the west side, and the door opens to the east. .
Most of the other flower buildings had young women standing in front of them and on the balconies, posing and soliciting customers, but there was not a single woman in front of the door or on the balcony of Anxiang Building. The color tone of the whole building was mainly solemn gray. Like other flower buildings, it is painted with brightly colored vermilion paint.
There is also a pair of door couplets with black characters on a white background hanging on the left and right sides of the door of Anxiang Tower. The upper couplet reads, "Xuanxiao Dantai gathers talents from all over the world," and the second couplet reads, "The high hills of Wushan hide beauties from all over the world." There is also a couplet written on the door. Hengbiao, "morning and evening."
While Chang Sheng was looking at the couplet, Da Tou was doing the same thing. When he saw the words "Xuanxiao Dantai" on the couplet, Da Tou was disdainful, "A kiln that harbors evil and evil practices actually calls itself the Nine Heavens Wonderland. It's really shameless." .”
Chang Sheng smiled and did not answer.
The big head pointed to the second line and said, "A group of kiln sisters who can do nothing but claim to be the goddess of Wushan. Who gives them the confidence?"
Seeing a waiter coming out of Anxiang Building, Chang Sheng hurriedly waved his hand to stop him, "Don't talk nonsense."
Previously, the first floor of Pingkangfang was a huge hall, but there was a screen placed inside the door of Anxiang Building. The situation inside could not be seen from the outside. The waiter came to the door and bowed his hands to the two of them, then smiled and said, " The two uncles are very discerning, our Anxiang Building is different from ordinary flower buildings, and it is rare for ordinary people to come in, so you two should go elsewhere."
Seeing that the waiter came out to chase people away, he raised his eyebrows and sneered, "Who is not an ordinary person?"
The waiter smiled and said, "Anxiang Tower only entertains dignitaries and talented people. Capital verification is required upon entry. Anyone with more than two thousand taels is not allowed to enter."
Changsheng and Datou smiled at each other after hearing this. Changsheng was in charge of the household department, while Datou had been responsible for calculating the profits of the Ni family's industry recently. Both of them were people who had seen money, so a mere two thousand taels naturally couldn't stop them. .
"I left in a hurry today and didn't bring that much silver with me." Datou took out a house deed from his pocket and handed it to the boy, "Do you think this house is worth two thousand taels?"
The house deed that Datou took out was for the house given to him by Changsheng. The size and location of the house were clearly written on the house deed. The guy was not an uninformed person. He took the deed and took a look at it, and immediately changed his face. , "I'm joking, your house is worth at least ten thousand taels of silver."
"Oh, you do know a lot about the market," Datou curled his lips and waved his hand, "Don't be nagging, just take us in quickly."
"Wait a minute, you two." The guy turned around and ran in.
Just as the two of them were looking at each other, the man ran out, holding two bamboo hats in his hands. These two bamboo hats were covered with black gauze. After wearing them, they could see clearly and cover their faces.
"What is this?" Datou was confused.
"Dignified guests come here for fun, and most of them don't want to see acquaintances," the waiter explained with a smile. "You only wear it for a moment, and you can take it off when you walk through the corridor and into the room."
Seeing Changsheng taking the bamboo hat, Datou stopped saying anything and took the bamboo hat and put it on his head.
The waiter raised his hand to invite the guests, and naturally he would not leave first. He turned sideways and asked Changsheng to go first. After Changsheng entered the door, he followed, "Hey, little brother, let me ask you something. There is a monk who often runs here recently. Who is that monk?" Our friend, where is he now?"
"Forgive me, sir," the waiter shook his head and said, "We at Anxiang Tower have our own rules. As long as guests enter the Anxiang Tower, their identity and place of origin will be kept confidential."
Hearing the boy's words, he raised his head and looked at Changsheng. Seeing that Changsheng didn't respond, he didn't continue to ask.
The waiter led the two of them around the screen, and there was actually a partition wall inside. Outside the partition wall was a counter, and inside the counter sat two old men who looked like gentlemen, and two strong men.
The clerk brought the two men to the counter and explained the rules to them. These two old gentlemen were both senior servants of the pawnshop and were responsible for valuing the property brought by the customers. After the valuation, the property brought by the customers should be valued. If you leave them on the counter, Anxianglou will exchange them for guests into round wood chips of different sizes. These wood chips are painted yellow and white and come in different sizes. They are divided into five types from small to large, representing one tael of gold and silver respectively. , five taels of gold and silver, ten taels of gold and silver, twenty taels of gold and silver, one hundred taels of gold and silver. The largest wood piece is the size of a plate. The silver one represents one hundred taels of silver, and the yellow one represents one hundred taels of gold, which is equivalent to one tael of silver. Thousand taels.
According to the waiter, every room in Anxiang Building is provided with wine, food, fruit and snacks. If the guest has no additional expenses after entering, all the silver will be refunded when leaving, and only 5 taels of wine, food and fruit will be charged.
Hearing what the waiter said, Datou felt relieved. The two of them were not here to molest prostitutes, and the five taels of silver were not wasted. They just wanted to see the world and have a drink.
Da Tou left the deed to the house, and a burly man helped carry the bag containing the wood chips. The man led the way from the front and led the two of them into the interior of Anxiang Building.
After entering the interior, the two of them were dumbfounded. There was no hall at all, it was just a circle of rooms. The clerk walked in front and explained, saying that although Anxiang Building looks very tall from the outside, it is actually very big inside. There are only two floors, and one hundred rooms are arranged in a ring, with the stage located in the center of these rooms.
The two of them became more and more confused as they listened, but it was inconvenient to ask questions.
While the guy was talking, he led the two of them to the window of a room. This room was huge and scary. The windows were made of transparent glass made of the same material as the banquet building. There were many young and beautiful women scattered inside. Different areas, whether lying or sitting, have different postures.
Both Zhang Mo and Ni Chenyi are stunningly beautiful in the world, and Changsheng is also a person who has seen the world, so they will not make a fuss. But to be fair, these women are indeed not vulgar, and they all have the appearance of a country.
"Why are there still people from the Western Regions?" Big Head pointed at one of the blond and blue-eyed young women and stared in shock.
The waiter nodded proudly, "These twenty beauties come from all over the world."
"With so many women, I'm afraid I'll make a fuss. We don't need so many." Datou felt a little embarrassed.
"My guest has misunderstood. This is not your room." The waiter shook his head.
"It's not our room, why did you bring us here?" Da Tou was displeased.
"Please choose one of these women," the waiter said.
Naturally, Datou would not choose, but turned to look at Changsheng.
Changsheng glanced casually and saw musical instruments placed beside several of the young women. He pointed at them and said, "Let her go over and play a piece for us."
"Please come with me, sir." The waiter turned around and left with the two of them, and continued to talk while walking, "Each woman can only have a maximum of five distinguished guests every night, and the man with the most rewards can spend the night with her. "
"Why isn't it our own?" Datou was confused.
"No, you two need to compete with the other four distinguished guests. At this time, the two of you can sit together. If you win the first prize, only one of you can spend the night with the beautiful lady." The waiter brought the two of them in as he spoke A room.
This room is located on the west side of Anxiang Building. There is a huge transparent window on the east side. Outside the window is a huge stage, which is divided into twenty areas of equal size.
"What are you doing?" Datou was confused.
Changsheng didn't know why, "We'll find out later..."
