At night, the Huancai Pavilion, lanterns, and candles are illuminated brightly and brilliantly, and the houses that are slightly farther up and down are reflected as if they are daytime.
There are even hundreds of prostitutes wearing heavy makeup, fat and thin bodies, gathering under the eaves of the main building.
They are waiting to be greeted by drinkers and passers-by, their breath turns into fragrant mist, and their embroidery is like colorful clouds, with warblers and swallows.
People can't help but touch the money in their pockets, just want to negotiate a big business between two or several people.
Rong Qingshu originally wanted to turn Huancai Pavilion into the second Wangxie Fengyue Tower in Longyin City, but he was unable to do so.
Huancai Pavilion has been expanded several times to add various entertainment places, but it has always been inferior to its competitors in terms of scale and popularity.
Especially the bumpkins who came to Longyin City for the first time almost only knew Wang Xie Fengyue Tower.
Unless you get tired of playing there, or if you have all the money in your pocket, you will come to Huancai Pavilion to take a look.
The upper class in Longyin City regard Wang Xie Fengyue Tower as the first choice place to display their wealth, entertain guests and make friends.
A place where high-ranking officials of level three or above are often seen will naturally make people flock to it.
Wang Xie Fengyue Tower also knows how to cater to these guests, and from time to time there are some romantic stories that people can talk about.
Just in the twelfth lunar month of last year, three talented scholars Lou Zangyue, Xin Wuji, and Huo Huan were competing in poems at Wangxie Fengyue Tower. In order to win the favor of Nalan Hehe, the three talents were extremely talented and frequently produced good verses.
The boy taking notes next to him actually wrote that his hands were trembling and it was difficult to hold a pen, so the hero Li Bai Su Xin, who was originally only drinking on the second floor, also joined in.
While drinking heavily, I was writing like crazy, drinking a bucket of wine and writing hundreds of poems!
The spread of such elegant things has made Nalan a great girl, and it has also been the icing on the cake for Wang Xie Fengyue Tower.
Anyone who admires the three talented men and heroes Li Bai and Su Xin will come here to pay their respects.
Some people even think that if they can be received by Miss Nalan Hehe, they will be like those three talented men who will not hesitate to spend a lot of money for it.
Rong Qingshu can be said to be jealous and hateful.
He still remembered that night in Wang Xie's Fengyue Tower, where the talented and heroic man was Fengyue Boundless. What happened in the Huancai Pavilion was that a prostitute disliked the girl's underarm odor and started a fight with the girl.
In the end, the two of them rolled down the stairs and fell into the swill bucket of the street department soldiers. The smell was so bad that the guests left one after another, and it took three days for the smell to dissipate.
Fortunately, Rong Qingshu no longer counted on Huancai Pavilion. He stood on the top of the building and looked ambitiously at Ci Shu Xianfang.
In the near future, the most enchanting Qin Tower and Chu Pavilion in Longyin City will no longer be Wang Xie Fengyue Tower, but Ci Shu Immortal Square.
Rong Qingshu turned around and saw the faint scent of smoke coming out of the rows of small pavilions behind him.
This is where his confidence lies.
In these small pavilions, there are all regular customers of Huancai Pavilion. Rong Qingshu invites them to try red poppy grass ointment on a small scale, and at the same time, they are accompanied by prostitutes to share the bliss.
Afterwards, they all lamented that the paradise on earth was in Huancai Pavilion. From then on, they were happy to miss Shu and would never go anywhere other than Huancai Pavilion.
Cishu Xianfang has arranged more small pavilions, including luxurious suites that are exclusive to distinguished guests, as well as two-, three-, and four-person bungalows for family and friends to share, and there are even separate halls.
What's a bit troublesome is that the imperial court has not yet relaxed its control over the red poppy grass ointment, so after the opening of Cishu Xianfang, it can only continue the Huancai Pavilion model for a long time.
For Rong Qingshu, this is just a matter of time. What really restricts the future profit scale of Cishu Immortal Square is the transportation route of Red Poppy Grass Ointment.
The Langya Palace has no say in the court, but outside the court, it has an influence in the world that is unmatched by the Rong family.
However, whether it is at sea or in the mountains, the various risks encountered during long-distance transportation are caused by the evil deeds of bandits.
They roared in in groups and fled in all directions after they succeeded. The government officials and agents were unable to do anything to them.
The carriages and flags of the Langya Prince's Palace are protected by Jiuzhou Palace's overt and covert guards from various places in Xinqin, which can intimidate Xiao Xiao.
"Where's Zhang Daiqing?" Rong Qingshu pushed open the nearest small pavilion and frowned as he smelled the strong smell of smoke inside.
He himself never touches this thing, lest he end up becoming a human being and a ghost.
Cui Yuangui and Song Ludao were each holding a prostitute, raising and lowering their hands. After they finished sucking the red poppy grass ointment, their energy had dissipated. Although their eyes were still a little unable to open and their vision was blurry, they were at least still awake.
"He... I was passing by on the street a few days ago. The girl who was pushing the window upstairs hit him on the head with the window pole. She was looking for compensation." Cui Yuangui couldn't help laughing and looked at the prostitute in his arms.
Her body is as soft as cotton, and she can't help but give her a hug.
But it made the prostitute feel pain all over her body, but she didn't dare to say anything, so she had to endure it and squeeze out some smiles to avoid provoking the devil.
"He has fallen in love with that little lady. If the little lady doesn't obey, he will make her a widow first." Song Ludao sneered. It was purely unnecessary. Wouldn't it be better to just kidnap her and play with her for a few days? Then throw her away after playing.
If you go back, if you're afraid of trouble, just put it in a pig cage and sink it under the Nanhuai River.
"You guys can find some more people. I'm afraid that Ci Shu Xianfang will be too busy when it opens, and it will be easy to get into trouble if there are too many people mixing." Rong Qingshu didn't bother to care about them, as long as they didn't ruin his business.
Rong Qingshu actually looked down on Cui Yuangui and the other three. They were somewhat inferior to him in his eyes, but he knew very well that he must have such people around him to act as henchmen.
First of all, they have a certain degree of power, and if they encounter some troubles, they can be dealt with directly without Rong Qingshu having to use his own connections and resources.
Secondly, they are not domestic slaves after all. Once something big happens, as long as they leave them alone in time, it will be difficult for others to implicate them.
"We have enough manpower, but the problem now is..." Cui Yuangui glanced at Rong Qingshu cautiously, "No one will come from Jiuzhou Prefecture."
A business with Rong Qingshu's background is not afraid of street gangsters causing trouble, but those gangsters may not be able to sell face.
Once provoked, these people take advantage of the dark and windy night to come and go without a trace. No one knows how they will retaliate.
Invite people from the Jiuzhou Prefecture and let them know that this is a place under the care of the Jiuzhou Prefecture. These Jianghu people will restrain themselves a lot, at least they will not come here to deliberately rip you off.
"The maggots in the snow and the pretty girls in the village... they don't plan to come either." Song Ludao sneered, then waved his hand to signal the two prostitutes to go out.
The two prostitutes breathed a sigh of relief, quickly picked up their skirts, and ran out timidly next to the door.
Rong Qingshu's face already looked a little ugly.
He knows very well that this is because he did not think carefully... When he was impeaching Qin Shou'an, why did Rong Qingshu see people from the Jiuzhou Mansion, as well as people from the world like Xueli Maggot and Cunzhong Qiao?
As a result, his attempt to impeach Qin Shou'an was of no use. The Queen Mother did not make any move, but His Majesty did, and directly gave the two admonishing officials a slap in the face.
This kick did not hit Rong Qingshu, but it was almost like kicking him in the face.
Ordinary people would not think that the Rong family's reputation is not easy, but they also understand that the Langya Palace is really a holy family.
Then it is a certainty that Qin Shouan will continue to control the Jiuzhou government office.
People from Jiuzhou Prefecture, as well as thieves like "Maggot in the Snow" and "Queen in the Village" who were just investigated by Jiuzhou Prefecture, dare to stand up for Rong Qingshu?
Doesn’t that mean Qin Shou’an is not taken seriously?
Rong Qingshu relies on the Rong family and is rooted in Longyin City. He does not have much contact with people in the Jianghu, so he is not worried about how the Langya Palace will retaliate. However, in the eyes of the Jianghu people, the Langya Palace is equal to the imperial court in the Jianghu, taking life and death from everyone. p>
"You are a villain!" Rong Qingshu sneered, "When they find out that Cishu Immortal Square's business depends on the fortune of Prince Langya's palace, who knows what kind of dog-face they will look like!"
"It's a pity that Tang Zhong is dead, otherwise he would show up and be more effective than these people." Song Ludao said regretfully.
Tang Zhong didn't know what kind of stupidity he had committed, but the young prince was also really cruel and cruel, which made Song Ludao feel a little like him.
"How about... find Ming Shiyin and Wei Liangzai?" Cui Yuangui slapped his thigh suddenly, thinking of Wei Liangzai who came to Huancai Pavilion again today.
"That's right. During the last poetry gathering, I selected about twenty girls from Huancai Pavilion and sent them over. Ming Shiyin hugged them and chatted with me for a few words."
Song Ludao shook his head, came to his senses completely, and asked Rong Qingshu: "I'm going to see if they came to Huancai Pavilion today?"
"Go ahead."
After a while, Song Ludao turned around and gave Rong Qingshu a positive reply.
Rong Qingshu immediately felt at ease.
As he expected, Qin Shouan still understood what Rong Qingshu had conveyed.
Whether and how the business can continue is still open to debate, but Qin Shouan does have no intention of becoming enemies with Rong Qingshu.
Otherwise, how could Ming Shiyin contact Song Ludao without hesitation, and how could Wei Liangzai hang around Huancai Pavilion without incident?
The people of Jiuzhou Mansion, as well as those gangsters, their level of vision is too low after all. When they are at the level of themselves and the Crown Prince, how can they have a clear-cut position between friends and foes?
As long as the benefits are great enough, even feuds can be temporarily put aside, not to mention that he just let someone take part in Qin Shou'an's book, which did not cause any harm to Qin Shou'an.
