"Sister, look at her trying to persuade her brother-in-law to go to a brothel!"
Xiao'e pointed at Qing Mulan and said angrily: "I'm just saying that I want to be your sister. Next time you come to our house for dinner, don't let her in!"
"Little girl, what do you know?"
Qing Mulan rubbed Xiao'e's hair: "What's wrong with the old man going to a brothel? I'm not letting your brother-in-law go to a brothel."
"Who says I don't understand? I heard Brother Tiezi and others say that you go to brothels to find those bad women!"
Xiao'e said unconvinced.
Even Guan Xiaorou cast a look of distrust.
She didn't object to Jin Feng taking concubines, but she didn't want Jin Feng to go to those messy places.
But Jin Feng understood what Qing Mulan meant.
In ancient times, entertainment methods were scarce. Some high-quality brothels were not only engaged in flesh and blood business, but were also one of the main places for literati to socialize.
From time to time, stories about talented men and beautiful women would come out from the brothels and be talked about by the people.
"What are you thinking about?"
Qing Mulan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Chunfeng Tower is qualified to run for oiran, which means that it is a high-class brothel, different from the low-class brothels in Jinchuan County. They not only do skin and flesh business, but it is normal for scholars in the city to go and listen to music."
."
When Guan Xiaorou heard this, her expression relaxed.
But Xiao'e was still full of doubts: "Sister, she must be lying to you."
"Miss Mu Lan didn't lie."
Tang Dongdong walked in: "It is indeed normal for scholars in the county to go to brothels. If you don't go there, you will be laughed at for not seeing the world."
"Dongdong, didn't I let you rest? Why are you here again?"
Guan Xiaorou quickly moved a chair to Tang Dongdong.
"Xiao Bei still doesn't know what's going on, how can I sleep?"
Tang Dongdong looked up at Guan Xiaorou and said: "Sister Xiaorou, Chunfeng Tower is one of the best brothels in the county. It's okay to go there and listen to the music.
Xiaobei is my only relative, sister Xiaorou must help me..."
"Dongdong, please stop talking. I didn't say not to let the boss go."
Guan Xiaorou was soft-hearted, and Tang Dongdong was her best friend. She immediately turned to help Tang Dongdong and said, "Master, just go and think of a solution."
"I will definitely take care of Dongdong's affairs."
Jin Feng looked at Qing Mulan: "Is there anything you can do?"
"It's easy to talk about other things, but if my brother knew that I wanted to ransom a brothel girl, he would definitely take me back without saying a word." Qing Mulan said helplessly.
She likes to wield swords and guns, and there are already rumors in Xichuan that she has a good taste for food. Her brother is already very dissatisfied, and it will be even more difficult to explain if she continues to get entangled with the brothel girl.
Qing Mulan couldn't count on it, so Jin Feng could only look at Tang Dongdong: "It's definitely not appropriate to go to a brothel so early in the morning. You can first tell me what it's like to run for oiran."
"The selection of courtesans is held once a year. Including the government-run Jiaofang Division, there are six brothels in the county and city that are eligible to participate. Each brothel can send four girls."
Tang Dongdong said: "On the day of the election, supporters can go to the site to buy flowers. The girl who gets the most flowers will be the oiran of that year."
"Doesn't that mean that if a wealthy businessman falls in love with a certain girl, he can make her a courtesan?"
"Yes, three years ago, a young man from a salt merchant in Bianjing spent 170,000 taels of silver in order to win over Ziyan girl from Jinyue Pavilion. This caused a sensation in Bianjing and Ziyan girl's worth doubled.
, just look at it from afar and get a hundred taels of silver!"
Qing Mulan sighed: "My cousin spent more than three thousand taels of silver just to have a meal with this Ziyan girl. My uncle was so angry that he was banned for three months."
"Does Lord Qing still have this romantic past?"
Jin Feng was surprised.
"It's not brother Qinghuai, he's an incompetent eldest cousin. He only knows how to eat, drink and have fun all day long. He can't even lift a finger from brother Qinghuai."
Qing Mulan muttered: "If it weren't for the legitimate eldest son, my uncle would have expelled him long ago. There is also the second brother, who is not a good thing. The eldest brother was banned, so he went to hook up with Zi Yan, but because he didn't have enough money, he spent
It was more than a thousand taels, and I only had a cup of tea with him."
"Look at a hundred taels of silver, drink a cup of tea with a thousand taels, and have a meal with more than three thousand taels?"
Guan Xiaorou covered her mouth and said, "Is Miss Ziyan a fairy descending to earth?"
Jin Feng killed several groups of bandits one after another, and the trophies plus the government bounty also made him a lot of money. He can be said to be one of the richest people in Jinchuan County, but Jin Feng's total wealth does not amount to ten thousand taels of silver.
.
In other words, Jin Feng's entire family property combined was only enough to treat this Ziyan girl to two or three meals.
"What's this? I heard that twenty years ago there was a girl named Bifu in the Bianjing Jiaofang Division. She started out with at least ten thousand taels of silver for a meal."
Qing Mulan said: "Even so, there are so many noble gentlemen who come from all over the country to meet her that they can't even queue up."
"Are they all crazy?"
Guan Xiaorou felt that her three views had been shattered.
"The young men from Wuling are quarreling over their heads, singing red silk for countless songs."
Jin Feng sighed: "There are too many rich people in this world. Ten thousand taels of silver may seem like an astronomical figure to us, but in the eyes of rich people, it may not be worth mentioning."
This situation was also very common in the past life. Some people spent a lot of money in order to become a star.
"Sir is right."
Qing Mulan nodded in agreement: "Miss Bifu is one of the best in the world. In the eyes of those young men, spending some money to have a meal with her will give you more to talk about when you brag with your friends. It is much more cost-effective than ten thousand taels of silver."
.”
"With ten thousand taels of silver, you can sell enough grain to feed our entire village for how many years. Why do you want to treat someone to a meal so that you can brag about it later?"
Guan Xiaorou still couldn't understand.
"The wealthy families are stinking of wine and meat, and the roads are frozen to death. The rich don't care how hard the poor live, they only care about themselves," Jin Feng said.
"A trip to a brothel is so expensive. Master, do we have enough money?"
Guan Xiaorou started to worry again.
This time they came with three thousand taels of silver notes. In addition to buying domestic slaves, Jin Feng also wanted to go to the craftsman's workshop to buy iron-making materials.
According to the original plan, the money is definitely enough.
But now I heard Qing Mulan say that it would cost so much money to treat a girl to a brothel, and I felt unsure again.
"What we just talked about is the most famous girl in Bianjing City. Guangyuan is just a county in Xichuan. No matter how big the red card is, it won't cost much as long as it doesn't stay overnight."
Qing Mulan smiled and said: "Besides, if I don't have to spend money, sir, I can make money back."
"What do you mean?" Jin Feng took two steps back, "I won't betray my appearance!"
"All the brothels are male customers. If you want to sell sex, you have to have someone to buy it."
Qing Mulan curled her lips and said, "Don't you know how to write poems? As long as you write a few good poems to praise the girls in Chunfeng Tower, Chunfeng Tower will definitely treat you as a guest. There is no chance that there will be girls who are willing to recommend themselves as pillows and create a good story.
