Chapter 116 Don't Live
As one of the most prestigious brothels in Pingkangfang, Yan Lai House is full of customers on weekdays. At this time of the year, the bustle is inevitably even more lively. Not to mention the front yard is filled with BMW carved cars, so I arrived a little late.
, I'm afraid there will be no place.
It had been a long time since she had finished dressing up, but the newly appointed girl, Hongluo, who was the number one in Yanlai Building, had nothing to do and was looking out the window. She was dressed elegantly, with a lazy attitude and a leisurely look on her face.
It was still early, and not long after the sun set over the city wall, there was still a dark red sunset that stretched thousands of miles in the sky, which was even more magnificent in the blue-black night.
Across the main building, she could hear the voices of the waiters taking care of the guests in the front yard. In recent days, the hustle and bustle of night came earlier and became more lively.
Hong Luo was not in a hurry. Although there were many distinguished guests in the building, there was only one top guest. She had her own reserve and aloofness.
Although the old bustard loves money, it is not enough to show off his money. He has the reputation of "showing off his skills but not his body". What he wants is the covetation and admiration of his guests. Only ordinary wealthy people who have more desires can embody the true meaning of money.
The preciousness of noble people.
Hongluo thought, I'm afraid it will be like the past few days, and I will have to wait until the second and third watch before making an appearance. Ordinary nobles will also consider their own status, and they cannot dominate the crowd, nor will they.
I am asking for trouble to ask for the company of a top star.
"Sister, mother wants you to meet guests!" A little maid, who has not yet reached the age of cardamom, hurriedly entered the door with small steps.
Hong Luo was deeply surprised. The genius had just faded and she was about to meet a guest. This was too early. Could it be that the person who came was a prince? "What is the identity of the guest?"
"They are three young men from aristocratic families!" the little maid said.
Hong Luo frowned. Most of the dandy boys were ignorant, superficial and childish, which made it difficult not to dislike them. As a top brothel proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, she hated it the most.
The young master from an aristocratic family who only knows how to make noises usually just copes with it.
"If he is just a young master from aristocratic families, in normal times, for the sake of their generosity, he might have to go see him immediately. But at this time of year, there are many real nobles with power who want to accompany him. Why would my mother be so anxious to let me go?"
Hong Luo planned to ask for more information.
The little girl remembered the conversation between the old madam and the other party, and immediately said: "They are also officials, they have power!"
Hongluo snorted coldly: "How much power can a group of young men who have just joined the officialdom have in their hands?"
The little girl tilted her head and recalled carefully, "They seem to be officials of the Duwei Mansion. By the way, that's right. I have seen one of them. He is fat. He is fatter than the fattest pig!"
Hong Luo's expression changed. The Duwei Mansion was now in full swing. She knew it, and she was in charge of the security of Yanping City. If it was the Captain of the Duwei Mansion who came, the old bustard's decision would make sense.
"Is it Captain Shi?" Hongluo asked hurriedly.
The little girl shook her head, "When mom calls them, she doesn't have the surname Shi."
Hongluo's face suddenly darkened, and she was displeased, "It's not Captain Shi, but a few petty officials who want me to accompany you? What do you think, mother?"
As she said these words, she suddenly thought of something, and her eyes lit up, "Could it be... that Mr. Zhao Qi?"
"What General Zhao Qi?" The little girl looked confused.
"It's the Zhao family's legitimate son who completely defeated the Liu family who brought a miserable woman to sue the Liu family in Jingzhao Mansion, the Liu family who preyed on the common people!" Hong Luo was excited and looking forward to it.
Looking at the little girl, eagerly waiting for the other party's answer.
"That's him?" The little girl was shocked at first.
Now the news has spread all over the city of Yanping. After Zhao's son Ning joined the Duwei Mansion, he found out about the many evil deeds of the Liu family. In anger, he found many civilians who had been killed by the Liu family and gathered them in the capital.
Zhaofu, beat the drums for them and finally succeeded in getting justice for the poor people. He is a good official who truly serves the people and has a good reputation!
The little girl came back to her senses and was immediately overjoyed, "Mom called one of them Mr. Zhao, and said that he would definitely become a captain one day... He must be right!"
Hongluo was overjoyed, her face flushed, and without any further delay, she hurriedly walked out and out the door. Only then did she realize that she had lost her composure, so she quickly took a deep breath and calmed down.
Hong Luo was very excited to be called by Zhao Ning to accompany her.
But this is not because she admires Zhao Ning's personality and character of making decisions for the people, and feels it is an honor to play the piano and flute for him, but because Zhao Ning is now well-known and widely praised by the market and respected by the people.
If she can have a good conversation with Zhao Ning and become a confidant, she can borrow the other person's light, which will be of great benefit to her reputation.
This is the reason why the famous Qing courtiers in brothels prefer to entertain talented scholars rather than wealthy businessmen. Only the poems and articles of scholars and scholars can make them famous and bring more and more lasting income.
Some Qingguer who are talented and proficient in poetry will also use the name of free entertainment to write poems for talented scholars, setting up many obstacles for the meeting, and in the end they will harvest many good articles.
Or create a good story about a confidante helping a poor scholar, and let some scholars use their pens to beautify it and spread it out, so that more people can read it, and thus have beautiful fantasies about brothel geishas.
All of this, in the final analysis, is to build momentum and fame for the Qing hustlers, and ultimately achieve the effect of driving up prices.
In contrast, the gimmick of "showing off one's skills but not one's body" is just a starting point.
Now that Zhao Ning, the fragrant steamed bun, is here, Hongluo is naturally very happy. She comes to the private room with great energy, intending to try her best to make Zhao Ning praise her.
But as soon as she entered the door, she was given a slap in the face. She had just greeted him with the most touching appearance, and before she could speak in the most beautiful voice, Zhao Ning ignored her affectionate eyes and pointed her hand, asking her to do the same.
There is no need to perform any talents, just go directly to accompany Chen Anzhi who is already hugging him from left to right.
This made Hong Luode's face suddenly turn pale.
"It makes my brother happy. Not to mention the gold and silver treasures, you Yan Lailou will not be disturbed by the Duwei Mansion from now on, and if you have any trouble, you can go directly to the Duwei Mansion!"
Zhao Ning saw that Hong Luo had a resentful look on her face, a little aggrieved that she couldn't speak, as if she was accusing her of not understanding the charm. He suddenly thought of Xia He, Wei Wuxian, and Chen Anzhi teasing him, and couldn't help but burst into anger.
Shen added: "If you don't do it well, you Yan Lai Lou won't have to open the door to do business in the future!"
Hong Luo failed to achieve the goal she had set when she left home, and she was still a little frustrated and dissatisfied. After all, she was also the popular Yan Lai Lou Tou brand, and she had some success.
But after hearing Zhao Ning's words, seeing Zhao Ning's face, and thinking about the strength of the Zhao family and the Duwei Mansion, I immediately panicked and was left with only fear. I quickly sat down next to Chen Anzhi in an obedient, gentle and pleasant manner.
Half of the dignity and self-restraint when facing ordinary nobles and scholars.
Chen Anzhi was in a good mood when he saw that Zhao Ning had given up the top spot to him so decisively. He laughed boldly three times, pushed a Qinghuer away, directly held Hongluo in his arms, and pinched her up and down for a while, without caring about the other party.
He smiled reluctantly because of the pain, raised his glass and yelled: "Come on, do it!"
"Fuck! Whoever falls first today will be the grandson!" Wei Wuxian shouted even louder.
After draining the wine glass, Zhao Ning didn't need to give a signal, and Qing Guer, who was kneeling next to him, took the initiative to fill it up for him.
When he looked at Chen Anzhi, he saw Yan Lailou's leader forcing a smile on his face and not behaving well. He almost reprimanded him on the spot. At least he took Chen Anzhi's feelings into consideration and kept silent.
A bitch is ruthless and an actor is ruthless. Zhao Ning knew these geishas clearly in his previous life.
Only ignorant teenagers can have beautiful fantasies about them. Such stupid young people will only need to go in and out of brothels and brothels a few times to realize how wrong they are. Treating them tenderly will only empty their pockets.
, and was despised from head to toe by the cold hearts beneath their smiling faces.
There are two types of people in this world who are the most unmoral in their hearts. One is the officials and dignitaries who are at the top of their power and wealth, and the second is the prostitute who can have sex with any ugly fat pig.
It doesn't mean that there are definitely no chivalrous people among prostitutes, but it's just that such people only exist in stories in books, and you will never see them in your lifetime.
After three rounds of drinking, Zhao Ning and others gradually got into the mood. Chen An was indeed a hero who threatened to knock them down. He felt that the wine glass was too small, so he asked someone to change the wine bowl. In the end, he felt that the wine bowl was not enough, so he simply held it.
He poured wine directly from the jar, and soon his face turned frighteningly white and his eyes became frighteningly red.
Wei Wuxian was once again impressed by Chen Anzhi's rudeness, and exclaimed: "From the first time the three of us secretly bought wine, hid in a tree and drank it secretly, and got choked and fell off, until now, I have never seen you like this.
Too fierce... The Ministry of Rites trains people's drinking capacity like this? It shouldn't be."
Chen Anzhi held the wine jar and burped. He waved his hand and said boldly: "If you can't drink enough, call me grandpa. It's too late to flatter me now..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly vomited, covered his mouth, and finally gagged, got up and ran to the latrine.
Wei Wuxian laughed heartily: "I knew that if you drink like this, this guy would be the first to lose his ability and make his face look fat. I..."
He said "I" twice, his face changed drastically, and he couldn't hold it back, so he covered his mouth and ran out.
After a while, Chen Anzhi came back in high spirits. He looked around the room with a look of eagerness. His momentum increased instead of decreasing, as if he had put an extra stomach in his stomach when he went out.
If you vomit the first time, you will soon have the second and third time.
In less than two hours, Chen Anzhi had already run out six or seven times, and Wei Wuxian was about the same. Zhao Ning, who was never drunk, could not withstand Chen Anzhi's suicidal drinking style, so he also ran away a few times.
When he came back for the last time, Chen Anzhi almost crawled through the door. He no longer had the air of disdain that he was as high as the mountain. He waved all the geishas out and just lay down on the carpet in the center of the room, humming.
There were only three brothers left in the room. Chen Anzhi looked at the beams with his arms and legs. He was obviously so drunk that he didn't even have the strength to sit up, but his eyes were abnormally bright and scary, as if there was his bright and glorious future on the beams.
.
He suddenly said word by word: "Xu Xiang came to the house the day before yesterday and talked with his grandfather until dawn. I don't know what they said, but my father told me yesterday that from now on, the Chen family and the Xu family will
No longer an enemy, please let me pay more attention. And I... also want to leave the Ministry of Rites and work abroad, and take up a real official position."
According to common sense, Chen Anzhi had to practice in the Ministry of Rites for two years, and it was absolutely impossible for him to be released so quickly and take up a real official position - just like the top three in the new department, he had to stay in the Hanlin Academy for two or three years.
But Tang Xing and Zhou Junchen entered Jingzhao Mansion early, and Chen Anzhi's early promotion and transfer are not necessarily unreasonable. However, this kind of abnormal arrangement will only happen in extraordinary times.
Zhao Ning frowned slightly.
The current situation in the court is changing, and it is indeed an extraordinary time. The fate of many people has been changed by the tide of the times. There will inevitably be joys and sorrows, separation and separation, we are in the same boat, and we are going in opposite directions. It is destined that some people will be happy and some will be sad.
