Chapter four hundred and eighty first night royal ten daughters
"Nani, the envoy of the Song Dynasty is so young, and he breaks into your mansion?"
After listening to Fujiwara Kimi's account, the face of Emperor Shirakawa, who was also in his sixties, was full of curiosity: "Hey, is it really the envoy named Ximen Qing? Is the identity correct?"
"That's right, he took the initiative to reveal his identity. He was also accompanied by the former Dazaifu young prisoner Sugawara Takachichi, who can prove his identity." Fujiwara Kimomi replied seriously, word for word, and spoke in detail.
Many of the details were learned from his concierge after Ximen Qing left.
"So?" Hiroyuki Shirakawa seemed to be a little interested. Hearing about this kind of thing suddenly in the afternoon of chatting still made people curious. He touched his bare forehead and said, "Could it be that this Sugawara Takauchika gave up on his own initiative?" Instead of serving as a young eunuch, he went to work as an interpreter for the mission? It’s kind of interesting.”
"His Majesty, the imperial edict contains that the Song Dynasty wants to discuss trade with Japan. It seems that Japan regards me as an equal." Fujiwara Kimiji expressed his worries: "This ambassador from the Ximen Imperial City Your Excellency should be the official responsible for negotiations. Let’s take a look at it.”
"The sudden rush to your residence was not just a whim, but had a profound meaning." Emperor Shirakawa said it for Fujiwara Kimiji before he could finish speaking: "I could have stayed first and then visited your residence, but I didn't expect it. But he chose to rush in suddenly, and the whole mission is not simple."
As he spoke, Emperor Baihe raised his eyebrows: "The Imperial City Envoy seems to be a false position in the Song Dynasty. This person is so young. I wonder what position he actually holds in the Song Dynasty court?"
Fujiwara Kimomi obviously also knew something about it, and replied: "Ximen Qingnai is an official of the Imperial City Division, and such a young official is unique."[
"What kind of organization is the Imperial City Department?" Emperor Baihe put down his hand and said thoughtfully: "It's no wonder that this person is a little too flamboyant. I'm afraid he was the pillar of the imperial court in the Song Dynasty."
"Then, Your Majesty, how should we deal with it next?" Fujiwara Kimimi asked.
Emperor Shirakawa looked at his face and showed a smile: "Fujiwara Dainagon, haven't you already been confident? And you still act like you want me to make up my mind? Let's talk about it, how do you want to do it?"
Mr. Fujiwara thought for a while, then whispered a few words in a low voice. Emperor Shirakawa nodded slightly: "Just use my name to do it, and no one will stop me."
"Yes." There was no emotion or anger on Mr. Fujiwara's face. He bowed respectfully and left, got on the sedan chair and went straight to the women's department.
When the sedan was halfway along, it happened to meet Emperor Toba's chariot. Fujiwara Kimimi had to order the sedan to stop and wait for the chariot to pass the intersection first.
"Isn't this Lord Quan Danyan?"
Emperor Toba recognized the sedan chair, so he actually stopped the entire procession and walked towards Fujiwara Kimimi's sedan chair accompanied by his chamberlain.
Mr. Fujiwara Mina got out of the sedan chair to salute, but asked Emperor Toba to stop him.
"Fujiwara-sama will soon be my father-in-law, why do you need to be so polite?"
Emperor Toba's enthusiastic look made Fujiwara Kimomi even more frightened.
"How can a humble minister dare to call himself that in front of His Majesty?"
Emperor Toba didn't know what he was thinking of. He looked up to the sky and sighed, waving his hands. Then he looked at the way the sedan came from, and then looked at the direction the sedan was heading in. He smiled and said: "It's already Shenshi, Dainagon. I’m going to pick up women later, maybe there’s something important going on?”
This was originally a joke made by a fourteen-year-old boy, but it made Fujiwara Kimomi a little confused. He didn't know how to answer. The Girl Recruiting Department is responsible for recruiting beauties from all over the country. Although it is nominally an internal position, in fact it has another purpose; Fujiwara It is obviously embarrassing for Mr. Gongshi to go to pick women at this time of day.
His throat rose and fell several times, but Fujiwara Kimiji still couldn't decide how to respond. It was like a son-in-law who was about to get married and met his father-in-law on the street, and caught him and asked him why he was going to Baihualou now.[
Emperor Toba chuckled, waved his sleeves and said, "I didn't expect that a joke would make Dainagon unable to step down. You came from the Emperor. I guess the Emperor has something for you to handle?"
"Yes, yes, His Majesty the Emperor has asked his ministers to go to the Female Procurement Department to select one or twenty female prostitutes to accompany the officials of the envoy from the Song Dynasty." Fujiwara Kimimi walked down the steps to get rid of the embarrassment.
"Oh? The Song Dynasty envoy has arrived?" Emperor Toba exclaimed: "Are they resting at the Honglu Hall?"
Fujiwara Kimi-san immediately regretted what he said about the envoys of the Song Dynasty. Why not just say that His Majesty the Emperor needs to accompany him? If he accidentally revealed this news, he would probably cause some trouble.
Seeing that he was silently responding to him, Emperor Toba cheered and waved his hand excitedly: "Go back to Qingliangden!"
Fujiwara Kimimi watched the imperial driver go away, and then got into the sedan, touching his forehead with regret along the way.
"Cai Nu? What is Cai Nu?"
Ximen Qing looked at the Japanese women who came in in two lines. There were a total of eighteen Japanese women. One was young and beautiful, and the other had low eyebrows. This scene seemed to be a legendary prostitution holy land, where girls lined up for you to choose. , makes you feel happy spending money, and you are no longer a virgin, but an uncle.
Ximen Qing's question was directed at Sugawara Takauchi. If anyone in this place knew what was going on, I'm afraid this nerd was the only one.
Sugawara Takashi's face turned a little red, he coughed and whispered a few words into Ximen Qing's ear, making the latter burst out laughing.
As expected, prostitutes are official "prostitutes". Japan is specially responsible for receiving important people, especially envoys from various countries. The reception is to sleep with them.
However, it was quite acceptable for Japan to keep these prostitutes in the prostitute department of the Emperor's Imperial Palace. This kind of thing could not be done in the Song Dynasty. Brothels were good, but they could not be kept in their own yards.
Who is the emperor? Isn't this Sang Sanniang's colleague and the owner of a brothel?
However, things still needed to be clarified. Ximen Qing called the chamberlain who brought these girls in and asked, "Who asked them to come?"
The waiter obviously knew little about Chinese, so Sugawara Takauchika had no choice but to translate.
"It's His Majesty's order."
Hearing this reply, Ximen Qingxiao bent down: "Your Majesty? His Majesty the Toba Emperor who is only fourteen years old this year?"
This laughter made the chamberlain feel puzzled. It was indeed His Majesty's order. What's so funny about such a normal thing?
Of course, Ximen Kei's words could not be translated directly, so Sugawara Takauchika had no choice but to say to the chamberlain: "I would like to thank His Majesty Emperor Toba on behalf of Ximen-sama."
The chamberlain became serious after hearing these words: "His Majesty the Emperor Shirakawa ordered us to go to the customs."
Sugawara Takachi suddenly understood and hurriedly told Ximen Kei. The latter touched his chin and replied slowly: "Then thank you, His Majesty the Emperor."
The waiter bowed and left in a hurry. Ximen Qing squinted at the two rows of prostitutes, not knowing what he was planning. Sugawara Takashi was at the side and didn't know what to say. The three gangsters Li Jun and Tong Wei and Tongmeng next to them said something. The sound of "tsk tsk tsk", I don't know whether it is appreciation or salivation.
"Wow, where do so many Japanese women come from?" Xueer noticed it drunkenly. She tried to get up and stumbled over to watch: "Master, can you do it?"
Sang Sanniang and Serena also slowly got up and walked over to watch the excitement.
"Nonsense!" Ximen Qing pretended to be angry and yelled: "You talk nonsense when you drink too much! Your master, I can stay with ten women at most every night."
Xue'er laughed wildly, Serena smiled in response, but Sang Sanniang blushed suddenly, not knowing what she thought of.
"Sanniang, come here." Ximen Qing suddenly looked over and said, "I want you to take a look at these girls first."
"What do you want to see first?" Sang Sanniang didn't understand what she meant before Xue'er and Serena came over and bumped into Ximen Qing. She hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to look at Ximen Qing's provocative eyes.
"You don't believe it if you try to steal business from me, but I can't do the brothel business."
Ximen Qing's voice became serious at some point: "Sanniang, take a closer look. If these young girls go to Bianliang, will they be able to compete? I mean at Baihua Tower or Japanese Style Museum?"
“It turns out it’s business”
Sang Sanniang felt greatly relaxed, but she felt a little disappointed for some reason. She raised her head and looked at it carefully with an expert's eye.
"It may not be very clear here, but you can go up and take a closer look."
Seeing that Sang Sanniang was also serious, Ximen Qing reminded him smoothly.
Sang Sanniang really stepped forward and looked carefully at each one from head to toe, and "touched" some parts a few times, as if to measure whether it was up to standard.
The girls didn't understand which song this song was about, but as long as the guests from the Song Dynasty were happy, they were willing to cooperate.
This fiddling made all the men in the envoy except the prodigal Yan Qing and An Daoquan look at it with saliva. They all commented and seemed to be participating in the beauty contest. Ximen Qing even saw Xiao Rang, the master scholar who usually looked like a Taoist teacher, at this moment. He also looks like a pig brother.
Judging from this response, it seems that there is no need to worry about whether the Ximen Group Brothel Industrial Japanese Style Museum will become popular after it opens in Bianliang.
Borrowing seeds? To spy on information? First make enough money for my brother!
A more detailed and actionable plan was formed in Ximen Qing's mind. Ever since he set foot on this land, the plan has been going very well.
It took a while for Sang Sanniang to finish looking and "touching", and then came back and said to Ximen Qing: "The basic conditions are OK, but I am a bit short."
"Don't worry about this, I have a solution." Ximen Qing chuckled: "Come on, how about we go to the room and talk in detail? The other brothers can't help it anymore, right?"
Sang Sanniang's face was like a piece of red cloth. After Ximen Qing hugged her in, the whole scene got completely out of control. All eighteen prostitutes were robbed, and even Sugawara Takauchi, a nerd, was not polite and took one.
Early the next morning, an unexpected guest came to Honglu Pavilion.
