Pingkangfang, also known as Beili, is located between Hanlin Academy and Dongshi. It is one of the most prosperous areas in Chang'an City. Even though Chang'an has gone through wars, it has not reduced the prosperity here. It can even be said that the more wars Chang'an goes through, the more As the capital of the country, Pingkangfang has never declined.
Moreover, the women in Pingkangfang have all been registered with the government, because their main clients are nobles, officials, scientific scholars, wealthy businessmen, etc.
The prostitutes in Pingkangfang have all been trained since childhood. After training in poetry, writing, music performance, etc., how else can they serve those dignitaries? It can be said that the prostitutes here are all versatile people. These women can follow The stumbled women of later generations were very different.
Of course, many of the women trained by Pingkangfang are the children of rebellious officials and officials. Of course, there are also girls who have been bought and sold. These people should be regarded as the main source of women in Pingkangfang.
Of course, the huge Chang'an City does not only have Pingkangfang, a fireworks willow lane. Opposite Pingkangfang, there is the beautiful Furong Garden in the southeast corner, far away from the busy city. There are also many famous prostitutes in Beijing here. Many dignitaries, after getting tired of the feasting and entertainment in Pingkangfang, would come to Furong Garden for an arty retreat.
Lian Xiude saw that Lu Chen didn't seem to know much about Pingkangfang, so he quietly explained what Pingkangfang was next to Lu Chen.
"Oh!" After listening to Lian Xiude's brief introduction, Lu Chen also knew what Pingkangfang was for. "It's just a place to find flowers and ask willows. How could Peng Zun be beaten? Besides, With Peng Zun's skills, how can an ordinary person be his opponent?" Lu Chen walked towards the mansion in confusion and asked Lian Xiude.
"It's okay for us people to mount their horses and kill the enemy, but sir, you have to know that the people who go to Pingkangfang are all high-ranking officials!" Lian Xiude said with a troubled face, "Sir, where do you go in and out? They are all people with more noble status than us, so naturally we dare not offend them!" When Lian Xiude said this, he looked aggrieved.
"I want to ask you, did Peng Zun get beaten because of himself, or was someone deliberately looking for trouble?" Lu Chen turned to look at Lian Xiude and asked seriously, what if Peng Zun was jealous of others in the place where he slept among flowers and willows? If there was a dispute and he was beaten, Lu Chen would never say anything. He might even kick Peng Zun in person, or even kick him out of Lujiazhuang. After all, he asked Peng Zun to go to that place to solve the problem. The physiological problem does not mean that he should be jealous of others; of course, if someone deliberately finds trouble with Peng Zun, it means not giving him the face of Chang'an County. Lu Chen has to lead people to get the situation back. Even I, Lu Chen, If anyone dares to bully me, will I, Lu Chen, be able to hang out in the future?
What kind of gentleman wants to take revenge? Ten years is never too late. Damn it, if you wait ten years, maybe you don’t need to take revenge. The enemy will be dead. Lu Chen has always believed that revenge should be avenged on the spot. Lu Chen But I never think of myself as a gentleman, and of course I won't be a villain. I'm just a layman, and I like to protect others.
"How is that possible!" After hearing Lu Chen say that Peng Zun brought the blame on himself, Lian Xiude immediately began to feel sorry for Peng Zun, "Sir, you know Peng Zun, could he be jealous of others? This is really not strange. Peng Zun!”
While talking, Lu Chen had already brought Lian Xiude and others to the military camp of Beiwei Army. Inside the camp, Peng Zunzheng was sitting on the bed with his arms hanging. His face was bruised and bruised, and there were many broken skin. , the clothes should have been changed after coming back, after all, the gray clothes are very neat at this time.
"Sir!" Seeing Lu Chen come in, Peng Zun stood up and prepared to salute Lu Chen. However, this adult's shout was somewhat full of grievances. After all, Peng Zun had never felt so aggrieved as he did today.
"Don't get up!" Looking at Peng Zun's bruised and swollen face, and then at his hanging arm, Lu Chen's expression darkened, "First of all, is there a cure?" Compared to Lu Chen was more worried about Peng Zun's internal injuries than external injuries. After all, Sun Simiao had said that if Peng Zun's evil fire didn't leak out, it would be easy for the old Peng family to be wiped out.
Hearing Lu Chen's question, Peng Zun shook his head. As soon as Lu Chen saw Peng Zun shaking his head, he knew that this guy had both external and internal injuries.
"Tell me! What's going on?" Lu Chen sat on the main seat. Liu Jing served tea to Lu Chen. Lu Chen picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. Looking at Peng Zun who looked miserable on the hospital bed, he didn't expect that Chicheng The tough man on the battlefield was actually beaten to a black and blue face in Chang'an City.
"Sir, I went to Pingkangfang today on your order to take a vacation..." Peng Zun directly began to tell the story of how he was beaten.
The charges in Pingkangfang are not low, but a banquet in Pingkangfang costs more than a penny. What do you mean, just having a meal will cost at least more than a thousand pence. If it is the first time for students to come here, Guests, the price has to be doubled. This is just for meals. If you have someone to accompany you or find a musician to sing, you have to pay extra. Even if you have a company, you have to pay two cents, and the musician also has to have two cents. That's it, they are just accompanying you. It's the price of a pair of candles. If the candles burn out and you want to continue, I'm sorry, you have to add more money, double the amount!
Moreover, the women in Pingkangfang are also divided into different categories. Sun Qi of the Tang Dynasty mentioned Pingkangfang in his "Beili Zhi" and described the situation of the prostitutes in Pingkangfang in detail: "Pingkangli, Entering the north gate and returning to Sanqu in the east, it is where all the prostitutes live. Among the prostitutes, there are those who are jingzheng, mostly in Nanqu and Zhongqu. They follow the wall of Yiqu, which is where the despicable prostitutes live, and they are looked down upon by Erqu. The one in the southern part of the song has a cross street in front of it, and many people who come to the pavilion for the first time take a sneak peek here. The houses in the second part of the song all have spacious and quiet halls, each with three halls, flowers planted in the front and back, or strange stone basins. The left and right are facing each other. The small hall has curtains, mattresses, curtains and the like. All the prostitutes have their own private property."
According to Sun Qi's description, it can be seen that Pingkangfang is divided into three parts. Beiqu is the residence of relatively low-level brothel women, and Zhongqu and Nanqu are both inhabited by extremely elegant brothel women. They are all excellent in poetry, music, calligraphy and painting. And they have a separate attic to live in. Women of their style are not something you can see only if you have money. They rely more on their skills to survive. They are a rare sight in Pingkangfang.
This is not the first time Peng Zun has come to Pingkangfang. To be honest, Peng Zun also has a very opportunistic Chinese opera girl named Gu Qing here. Every time Peng Zun returns to Chang'an, he will definitely come to meet with Gu Qing. When they met, Peng Zun was a bachelor, and he and Gu Qing were in love. Unfortunately, even if Peng Zun had the position of military attaché, he would also receive salary and rewards, but if he wanted to get Gu Qing out of here, then Peng Zun It really can't be done.
However, since Lian Xiude and Peng Zun came to Lujiazhuang with three thousand Weijia reserve troops, Peng Zun has never left Lujiazhuang due to Lu Chen's military regulations. It is also difficult to meet Gu Qing. , of course, they also have days to rest, but it is impossible for Peng Zun to go to Pingkangfang every time he wants to rest, because the funds do not allow it.
And this time Peng Zun came to Pingkangfang because Lu Chen specially granted him leave to come out for treatment, and also gave him a lot of money. After all, although Peng Zun didn't listen to Lu Chen's reminder, he took the deer on the table. The meat was cooked, but Lu Chen also felt sorry for his soldiers, so he gave Peng Zun a lot of money as a "medical treatment" fee.
Peng Zun naturally happily came to Pingkangfang with all his money to find Gu Qing. Don't think that just giving money to the brothel girls like Zhongqu and Nanqu in Pingkangfang, although these brothel girls are in the world of prostitution. Land, but they are also versatile people. If you want to enter their Qingluo Luan tent, if you don’t have some skills, you really can’t get into their eyes. If you give them money, they may just sing a song with you and chant. For a poem, just make it right and that's it. If you want to have a romantic night, I'm sorry, you have to impress others.
This Gu Qing wants to say that she is beautiful, or that she is the most beautiful person in the country, but she is not. At most, she is above average in appearance, and she is also quite talented. The reason why she is still middle-class is because she doesn’t know what happened, but since the first time After meeting Peng Zun, the two of them were like bastards looking at mung beans - they made eye contact.
Is Peng Zun illiterate? Literacy, but that's just literacy. After all, during the Sui Dynasty, Peng Zun's family was relatively wealthy, and Peng Zun also went to private school for several years, so it was okay to be literate, but you asked him to recite poems and compose Yes, arty and so on. Sorry, that means knowing nine out of ten things - not knowing anything at all.
But this guy has one good thing, he can do it. Naturally, he told Lu Qing about some of his great achievements on the battlefield. Of course, many people who were honest and moral were also attracted by him. When he saw a beauty, he had to encourage him. Take a look at yourself, it was Lian Xiude who accompanied Peng Zun at that time. He looked at Peng Zun who had taken over all his achievements and was talking happily, and Gu Qing's eyes were shining when he looked at Peng Zun. If there was The special effect is that there are little stars in the eyes!
Peng Zun boasted about his bravery on the battlefield, and Lu Qing immediately admired Peng Zun for being such a heroic and beautiful woman, and there was a bit of "love at first sight" between them. In fact, Peng Zun was not ugly, but he said He couldn't be described as handsome, but he had a look of determination on his face. The two people immediately "talked happily", and even later Lian Xiude knew enough to leave early, leaving Peng Zun and Gu Qing to "bend the candle at night" Talked about it for a while.
From then on, whenever Peng Zun returned to Chang'an, he would definitely come here to find Gu Qing. Of course, Peng Zun also mentioned the matter of redeeming Gu Qing's life. After all, Peng Zun was Gu Qing's first man, but every time the two of them came together When talking about this topic, everyone frowns. After all, this is not a place like those brothels outside. It is simply too difficult to get people to redeem themselves from here!
