The sacred building on the second floor of Goulan.
You can't just go if you want to.
The only price for tea in the Shenlou is three coins of silver.
This is already the monthly salary of an ordinary government servant like Li Yanchu.
With these three coins, wouldn't it be more comfortable to go to a brothel and order a young lady with soft jade, and have your shoulders and legs hammered for you in a pink boudoir for a night?
Moreover, these three coins are only the basic payment for tea, and do not include other additional expenses, such as ordering a few pretty and lovely little maids to rub shoulders and so on.
This is just like when you go to a nightclub to have fun, you must call a few princesses to help you enjoy yourself. You can't just eat peanuts and drink snowflakes. It's not elegant or vulgar at all.
Speaking of which, when we came to Goulan before, it was Li Yanchu who led the way.
This time, when Jin An entered the hook fence for the second time, Li Yanchu and the old Taoist priest surrounded him and walked in the front.
Not for anything else.
Just because you have money you can really do whatever you want.
Kick, kick, kick.
Jin An stepped on the wooden stairs and walked up to the second floor.
However, they found that they had been delayed outside for about half an hour, and Monk Pu Zhi was no longer at Goulan. I wonder if this was a coincidence?
Jin An's eyes were thoughtful.
After arranging the three of them to sit down, a person with a hook asked Jin An with a smile: "Mr. Jin An, are you feeling tired? Do you need me to arrange for some girls to bring tea and water, beat your legs and squeeze your shoulders?
"
He had already seen that Jin An was the leader of the three people in front of him, so after the three people sat down, he asked Jin An with a smile.
Jin An thought for a while and asked, "Can I order Miss Caihe?"
Li Yanchu: "?"
Li Yanchu: "Master Jin'an!"
Li Yanchu was delighted.
He felt that Mr. Jin'an ordered Caihe to do something good for himself and Caihe. Li Yanchu had always taken this seriously.
Li Yanchu didn't feel that he was being tricked by Mr. Jin An.
The man did not immediately reject Jin An, nor did he immediately agree to Jin An. Having dealt with customers from all walks of life all year round, he advanced and retreated in a measured manner and said: "Mr. Jin An, it will be time to post the recruitment in the evening. Mr. Jin An will be there soon."
If there is a good steward you like, you can reward him with some money to impress him."
It is said that it is to impress the poor people, but in fact it is to use money to pave the way, impress Goulan, and arrange who will perform on the stage.
This is a small episode.
The three people in Jin'an did not wait long. After the lanterns gradually lit up and the interior of Goulan was brightly lit, Goulan began to announce today's moves.
The recruitment list introduced several famous Qing shepherds.
Caihe's name is clearly on it.
Li Yanchu almost stood up excitedly. Although Caihe was well-known in Goulan, he was not qualified to be on the recruiting list. Li Yanchu understood that without the conversation that Mr. Jin An had just had with the people in Goulan, Caihe would never be able to be today.
There is a chance to appear on the recruiting list alone.
At this moment, Li Yanchu was even more grateful to Jin An.
Jin An knew very well that Li Yanchu had a deep affection for Caihe, so he decided to have an adult beauty tonight.
Then, Jin An waved to Li Yanchu and then whispered.
After hearing this, Li Yanchu looked shocked and horrified, and his eyes almost popped out of his head at Jin An's words.
He wanted to refuse.
But Jin An smiled at him and shook his head.
The beauty of adulthood.
good.
Li Yanchu looked at Jin An so gratefully that he almost expressed his loyalty with all his heart.
In the banquet room on the first floor under the sacred pavilion, before the literati and young masters competed with each other for money for the famous prostitutes they supported, someone in the sacred pavilion on the second floor said loudly: "Twelve taels of silver!"
"Tonight, I want Caihe girl to play a pipa song!"
As soon as these words came out, the literati and young men on the first floor immediately exploded.
One monk Pu Zhi is enough.
Why did someone go to the hook bar again and smash ten taels of silver to count out the waiters?
vulgar!
Rough embryo!
Disgraceful to gentlemen!
As a result, when they looked up and saw a small yamen servant handing out ten taels of silver, their eyes widened in surprise and disbelief. When could a small yamen servant afford ten taels of silver to play hook-bar and listen to music?
But soon they discovered that after shouting out the twelve silver patterns, the yamen servant actually bowed to another person next to him. Could it be that there was another master?
"Jin, Mr. Jin An!"
Someone recognized Jin An on the first floor. Jin An is now a somewhat famous person in Chang County.
Above the hook fence, there is a brothel.
Brothels are the real high-end prostitute places where scholars, wealthy and wealthy men play.
The really powerful nobles all go to brothels and throw money at them just to get a smile from the courtesans.
After all, Goulan is a lower level, a large-scale singing and dancing performance entertainment venue belonging to the civilian level. It is rare to meet a wealthy person all year round, so when you go to Goulan to listen to music, you will be generous with ten taels of silver. This incident directly alarmed the Goulan boss.
The boss of Goulan came over personally to offer a cup of tea.
He was a middle-aged man with thin cheeks, a slightly sallow complexion, and a look of depleted energy.
After the Goulan boss toasted a cup of tea, said a few auspicious words, made some friends, and then left.
However.
Just as Boss Goulan turned around and left, the old Taoist priest suddenly said to Jin An with a serious face: "Little brother, there is something wrong with Boss Goulan."
Jin An was surprised: "I thought I was wrong. The whites of Boss Goulan's eyes are the same as Brother Li's. I saw a black mark on the whites of Boss Goulan's eyes."
"So the boss of Goulan was also hit?"
"It seems that there is indeed a problem in this Goulan store."
After listening to Jin An's analysis, the old Taoist priest glanced at Jin An in surprise. He did not expect that not only did he never let down his guard, but his little brother was also so cautious and always observed the surrounding environment.
In particular, I carefully observed such a slight detail as a black mark in the white of Goulan's eyes.
"That's not right, old man."
Jin An said doubtfully: "I carefully looked at the black mark in the white of Goulan boss's eyes. It is obviously longer than Brother Li. I guess that this Goulan boss should have been hit by the car earlier than Brother Li, and even had frequent contact with him.
That evil thing, is that why it is much more serious than Brother Li?"
"But I feel something is wrong. Boss Goulan doesn't seem to be having bad luck one after another, and he looks gloomy. On the contrary, I feel that there is nothing wrong with Boss Goulan, it's just that his kidneys are slightly depleted."
The old Taoist priest thought for a while and guessed: "It should be the boss of Goulan who obtained a genuine magical weapon from somewhere, so the collision will not affect him."
"Just now, old Taoist, I noticed that Boss Goulan had a thin rope hanging around his neck. He must have obtained a consecration talisman or a Bodhisattva statue from some temple or Taoist temple, and hung it on his chest day and night."
Jin An nodded.
I think the old Taoist priest's analysis makes sense.
Li Yanchu had been listening to the conversation between Jin An and the old Taoist priest. His face was pale and his cheeks were hot. He didn't expect that Mr. Jin An and Taoist Chen were so concerned about his affairs. Since they came to Goulan Washi, they had been paying close attention to their surroundings.
Instead of being confused by so many poor people in the hook bar.
Among the three of them, he was the only one who was thinking about the little lady in the hook bar.
The more Li Yanchu thought about it, the more he felt that he, the client, had failed Mr. Jin An and Mr. Chen's kindness towards him.
So ashamed.
So Li Yanchu secretly made a decision!
Since he can't exorcise demons and ward off evil spirits, he must cherish the time he spends with Miss Caihe tonight, and must not hold back when Mr. Jin An and Chen Daozhang are exorcising evil spirits!
