Chapter 1435: Drunken Immortal Residence, the Beauty of the World, Si Lili
Liujing Riverside is one of the most famous attractions in Kyoto during the Qing Dynasty, and it is also one of the busiest streets because there are many well-known businesses and shops here, among which brothels and tile houses are the most famous.
The best, largest, and most famous brothel in Kyoto is located on the banks of the Ryukyu River. It is also the most indispensable place for countless literati and poets. It is also the largest gold-selling cave in Kyoto.
Zhou Chen has lived for hundreds of years and traveled through dozens of worlds. He has never given up on the word sex. He is just a common person.
People who live long are very lonely and need companionship. Long-term companionship is rare, but short-term companionship is easier.
What's more, in this kind of feudal society, in a place like a brothel, it is legal and compliant, and even if the publicity is in place, it can be regarded as a romantic affair.
When he first traveled to this world, he wanted to go there and see the brothel by the Liujing River. However, safety came first at that time, so he was focused on practicing martial arts and had no time or energy to go to those places.
Now, he has become a grand master and stands at the pinnacle of martial arts in this world. How can he live up to himself if he still lives like an ascetic monk?
What's more, he accepted Haitang Duoduo's request and returned to Kyoto. If there was a chance, he could help a group of managers.
That's right, because he seemed to be a reliable person, that's why Haitang Duoduo asked him to take care of her best friend.
As a man of his word, he cannot live up to the trust of his friends.
So he had to go to the Liquid Crystal River.
When going out, Zhou Chen did not take Tong Quan with him, but took Sun Yi with him.
Although both of them are the people he trusts the most, Sun Yi talks little and Zhou Chen does whatever he says and never asks too many questions.
And Tong Quan would occasionally ask a question or two, of course, it was for his sake wholeheartedly, otherwise he would not have let Tong Quan hold the power in the house.
It was already past noon, and the streets of Kyoto were still quite lively. Zhou Chen had walked some of the roads leading to the Liujing River. He had an excellent memory, and he would have an impression of the places he walked, even if he came back again.
"Young Master, the most famous oiran by the Liujing River today is Ms. Si Lili from Zui Xianju. As a young master, it is natural that she should look for the best. Ms. Si Lili is a pure hermit, and she does not sell herself as a prostitute.
It’s suitable for drinking and listening to music with the young master.”
Sun Yi was not a lecherous person, so when he went to a brothel with Zhou Chen, he naturally had to put in some effort. Before coming, he asked many people about the affairs of Liujing Riverside, especially about courtesans.
As the young master's first subordinate, everything is centered on the young master and he must consider everything for the young master.
What is our young master's status? Even if he goes to a brothel, he must be accompanied by an oiran. Don't rely on other vulgar people.
"Then go to Zuixianju."
"Okay, Master."
"drive!"
The carriage arrived at the Liujing River. Through the carriage, Zhou Chen saw people coming and going outside. There were many talented scholars reciting poems and making jokes. There were also many scantily clad girls teasing and laughing in the pavilions, and there were also many wealthy businessmen who were arrogantly proud.
, forming a scene of joy here.
The brothels and tiles by the Liujing River are not something that ordinary people can consume. As the largest gold-producing cave in Kyoto, even the worst place is spent in silver units. There are almost no copper coins here.
And how much money can ordinary people earn in a year? The money in a year may not be enough to spend one night here.
"Sure enough, no matter what era it is in, places like brothels are always bustling with people."
The busiest time for a brothel should be at night, but it's only the afternoon now, but so many people have already gathered. It's the No. 1 gold-burning cave in Kyoto, and it deserves its reputation.
Sun Yi drove the carriage directly to Zuixianju. In fact, there were many brothels on the banks of the Liujing River that were as large as Zuixianju. However, because the most popular oiran now is Si Lili, Zuixianju became famous.
Noisy, became the most famous and profitable brothel on the Liujing River.
"Master, Zuixianju has arrived."
It's still more than an hour before it gets dark, but many people have already arrived at Zuixianju, and the girls have begun to welcome guests.
Zhou Chen got off the carriage and Sun Yi said: "Master, do you want me to accompany you in?"
"Do you want to come in?"
"No, Master, you know me."
"Yes, you are henpecked. No one in the house knows about it."
Sun Yi was not embarrassed to be teased by Zhou Chen. He was not really henpecked. The main reason was that his wife was his childhood sweetheart. He had known her since they were a few years old and had a very deep relationship. When he stayed in Uncle Anyuan's Mansion,
It was also discussed by the couple together.
"Okay, then you can go back first."
"No, young master, I will wait for you outside. Whenever you want to go back, just come out and call me."
Zhou Chen nodded, said nothing, took steps, and walked straight towards Zuixianju.
"Master, you are here, please come inside, please come inside."
When the boy waiting outside the door saw Zhou Chen coming, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he smiled happily and said good and auspicious words to Zhou Chen.
When he was welcomed and sent off at Zuixianju, he naturally developed a pair of smart eyes. When he saw Zhou Chen, he knew that he was either rich or noble, and his attitude was naturally very good.
Zhou Chen casually threw him a small piece of silver, which made the young man overjoyed and welcomed Zhou Chen into Zuixianju with great enthusiasm.
The interior of Zuixianju is luxurious and grand. Girls are walking upstairs and downstairs. At this time, there are many guests inside, drinking wine, listening to music, wiping oil up and down, and playing with shiny powder. It's a great time.
"Oh, what a handsome young man."
A gust of fragrant wind came, and I saw a woman in colorful clothes walking over. The woman looked to be about thirty, a bit older than the girls in the brothel, but she still looked charming.
Like a ripe peach.
The woman is the steward of Zuixian Juli, commonly known as the Madam.
"Young Master looks strange. Is this your first time in our Zuixianju?"
The old bustard looked at Zhou Chen with all kinds of charm and beautiful flowers, but he didn't touch Zhou Chen. Instead, he smiled and was very polite.
Zhou Chen's eyes flashed with admiration, right? A high-end club must look like a high-end club. If they are all that coquettish and pure butchers, how can they be on the stage?
"This is indeed my first time here. I heard that Zuixianju is now the most famous brothel on the Liujing River, so I decided to come and take a look."
"Young Master is really good at talking. I have welcomed and escorted so many guests, but I have never seen such a handsome and prosperous Young Master. Is there any girl you know?"
The madam was very enthusiastic. On the one hand, Zhou Chen's appearance was really excellent. On the other hand, it was also because he was dressed in an unusual manner. At first glance, he looked like a young master from a wealthy family.
Zhou Chen said calmly: "I agree with what my guard said very much. When you come to a brothel, you should look for the best. I heard that the best girl in Zuixianju is the oiran Si Lili, so I asked Si Lili.
Come drink wine and listen to music with me."
The old madam's smile suddenly stopped: "Sir, I'm sorry, Miss Si Lili is the court servant and the top oiran of our Zuixianju. She rarely accepts guests. Even if she does, she has to do it herself.
You have to agree, I am not qualified to make the decision; how about I introduce some girls to you, and I guarantee that you will not disappoint the young master."
?????55.?????
"No, I'm just here because of Si Lili's name. Go tell him that my surname is Zhou and I come from Uncle Anyuan's Mansion. I believe she will agree."
Zhou Chen smiled at the Madam, but when this smile fell in the eyes of the Madam, he felt extremely terrifying. The body that was still twisting just now seemed to be rusty, and it was so stiff that it could no longer move.
The brothel is definitely one of the places where news spreads the fastest and most widely. After two days of spreading the news about Zhou Chen's massacre of Huang Mawei's family, not only everyone knows about it, but at least everyone and the powerful people who have the news know it.
Well, there is a big shot in Kyoto who cannot be messed with.
As the largest brothel, Zui Xianju naturally paid attention to the news in Kyoto, so he knew Zhou Chen's name.
Zhou Chen stood in front of her, and she couldn't recognize him, but Zhou Chen said that his surname was Zhou and that he was from Uncle Anyuan's Mansion. How could she not react?
After she came back to her senses, her attitude changed dramatically. She put away her charm and became very respectful.
"Sir, please come with me."
With that said, she took Zhou Chen directly to the third floor and respectfully sent Zhou Chen into the best private room.
"Sir, please wait a moment. I will call Miss Lili now."
This time, there were no polite words for meeting guests. The Grand Master came to visit in person. Not to mention her, even the boss behind Zuixianju couldn’t afford to offend him. Si Lili didn’t dare to show off to the Grand Master no matter how much he put on airs.
Put on airs in front of you.
"Uncle Anyuan's house, surnamed Zhou, no, is that really that person?"
When Si Lili learned that the great master had come to the brothel and asked her to accompany him by name, he was also confused.
Her manager is well-known in Kyoto, but she is a lowly girl from a brothel after all. That person is a great master and will soon inherit the title of Earl of Anyuan. His status is so noble. What kind of woman can't be found? How can he look at it?
Can she be as good as a mere courtesan?
"I'm not sure, but judging from his age, extraordinary bearing, and handsome appearance, it seems to be consistent with the rumors."
"The great master also visits brothels?"
Si Lili really found it strange. Shouldn't the Grand Master be a person who is aloof, has no desires, and pursues the pinnacle of martial arts?
However, the maid next to her reminded her: "Girl, this new Grand Master is a young man who has not yet been crowned. Visiting a brothel should be normal, right?"
This sentence awakened Si Lili. Yes, she was so shocked by the title of Grand Master that she even ignored Zhou Chen's true age.
The old bustard also said excitedly: "Yes, girl, if the news of the great master coming to Zuixianju spreads, it will be the best publicity for the girl and Zuixianju."
Since it was possible that the Grand Master was requesting company, Si Lili naturally had no room to refuse.
But she couldn't help but think of the legend about Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen had been to Shangjing in Northern Qi, and she didn't know what was happening to her friends in Northern Qi.
Si Lili came to the private room and knocked gently on the door. After getting Zhou Chen's answer, he pushed the door open and entered.
"The manager of the slave family has met Mr. Zhou."
"No need to be polite, come and sit."
Si Lili came to sit across from Zhou Chen and then raised her head to look at Zhou Chen. In the past two days, she had heard Zhou Chen's name and actions many times. She also heard about the fifth great master in the world.
Full of curiosity.
It's rare to see it, so naturally I want to satisfy my curiosity.
Zhou Chen's first impression on her was very good. Just like when a man looks at a woman, when a woman looks at a man, appearance is the first factor. With Zhou Chen's name, her senses will naturally be even better.
Zhou Chen was also sizing up Si Lili. If Si Lili could become the number one courtesan on the Liujing River, he would certainly live up to his reputation.
Si Lili looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, which is the age when a girl is most beautiful. With a delicate and beautiful face, a charming temperament, and a round figure, she is a real beauty in the world.
As an oiran, her appearance definitely deserves the title of oiran, but to be the number one oiran on the Liquid Crystal River, she is not just about looks, she is also the best singer.
"By the Liujing River, the girl is worthy of being the famous courtesan in Kyoto."
"Young master, you are so complimentary. The little name of the slave family is not as good as the misfortune of the master. Being able to accompany the master is the blessing that the slave family has cultivated for three lifetimes."
In front of Zhou Chen, she couldn't show any arrogance and kept her posture very low.
"Sir, I would like to present you a song."
Zhou Chen nodded and signaled Si Lili to perform. Although he came to see Si Lili at the request of Haitang Duoduo, it did not prevent him from listening to the music.
Naturally, Si Lili would not sing a cappella by herself. She quickly found a pure-looking girl with clear water and hibiscus. The girl held the pipa in her arms and sat down carefully in the private room, not daring to look directly at Zhou.
Chen, just playing with his pipa.
The pipa played and Si Lili's singing also started. Zhou Chen drank wine and listened to Si Lili's singing.
Although there was only pipa accompaniment, Si Lili's voice was very nice. What surprised him the most was that Si Lili could change several tones, which could be either pure or charming. Listening to her singing, it was so pure.
kind of enjoyment.
After singing the song, Zhou Chen generously gave his own applause.
"You sing well. You are worthy of being a famous oiran. Not only is you handsome, you are also very talented. You also play the pipa well. What is your name?"
The girl playing the pipa immediately stood up and respectfully replied: "Young Master, I am Sang Wen."
"Sangwen?"
Zhou Chen was a little surprised. Sang Wen was also a well-known supporting role in Qing Yu Nian, and later became Fan Xian's right-hand man. He didn't expect that he just came to see Si Lili and actually met Sang Wen.
But he didn't show anything strange.
"Come here and show me Pipa."
Seeing Sang Wen playing the pipa, he couldn't help but think of Song Yinzhang in the world of Menghualu. The two were somewhat similar.
Sang Wen didn't understand why Zhou Chen wanted the pipa, but she didn't dare to disobey him. Even Si Lili respected the guest, how could she dare not to disrespect him, so she carefully gave the pipa to him.
Zhou Chen took the pipa and played it gently a few times.
"Pipa is good."
With the pipa in his hand, he thought of old friends he would never see again. His mood suddenly became a little depressed, and he couldn't help but start playing with both hands.
As Zhou Chen played, a pipa song full of exotic customs, fierce fighting, and murderous spirit echoed in the private room.
As a pipa master, Sang Wen was immersed in Zhou Chen's pipa music the moment Zhou Chen played it, and his expression fluctuated with the ups and downs of the music.
Si Lili was not as intoxicated as Sang Wen, but he was also surprised by the pipa music played by Zhou Chen.
Looking at Zhou Chen's playing technique, as well as the smoothness and momentum of this piece, this is by no means an ordinary piece of music, and Zhou Chen's pipa skills are definitely also extraordinary.
After the song ended, Sang Wen still had some unfinished thoughts and asked excitedly: "Sir, what song is this?"
