Chapter 494

While speaking, the scholar looked at the red-clothed woman over and over. The other party should be seventeen or eighteen years old, and her appearance was extremely beautiful. At first glance, her personality seemed to be of the hotter type. I can't help but think of a word, little pepper.

The woman in red heard what the scholar said, and her brows became more joyful, but a sly look flashed in her eyes: "You scholar is quite good at talking, but don't think that you say a few words of flattery. , this girl will be confused by you."

As soon as the words fell, the woman in red suddenly drew out her long sword and stabbed the scholar on the horse.

The scholar couldn't help but look flustered, and fell off his horse while shaking his body, and let out a scream.

The scholar rubbed his buttocks that hurt from the fall, and said angrily, "Why is the girl teasing Xiaosheng like this?"

"Giggle!"

Seeing the aggrieved appearance of the scholar, the woman in red gave out a string of crunchy smiles like a silver bell: "My mother said that the most deceiving people in the world are scholars like you, I will teach you a lesson today, and I will teach you a lesson in the future. If you dare to coax a girl casually, this girl will never spare you!"

As soon as the voice fell, the woman in red spread out her movements and ran forward.

"Scholar, don't delay on the road. After half an hour, the city gate will be closed. Otherwise, you can just wait and feed the wolves in the wilderness!"

Hearing this, the scholar curled his lips in disapproval, slapped the dust on his body at will, and got on his horse, secretly thinking that this little girl is really a little pepper.

Yes, this scholar is Song Yan pretending to be.

Since the battle with the three holy masters, he has gained a lot. After half a month of retreating in the cottage, he went down the mountain alone and turned into a scholar to travel the world. After half a month, he left Yuezhou and came to Yanzhou. territory.

In the past half-month, he has been robbed no less than ten times, but each time, he robbed the other party completely. Unexpectedly, this time the business was destroyed by the little pepper.

There is a city more than twenty miles ahead.

Even if Song Yan wanted to enter the city after closing the city gate, it would not be difficult for him, but he still accelerated his horse and hurried to the Fucheng.

Walking around the world for half a month, the more he saw and heard, the more he understood the world in detail.

In this world, although the imperial power is supreme, it cannot restrain the warriors in the world, especially the three holy places, which are even more detached, and even the three major empires would not dare to offend them easily.

As for the nine major sects, they generally choose to cooperate with the empire.

Therefore, this world can also be said to be a world where imperial power and warriors coexist. Unlike in the real world, the government occupies an absolute advantage. Even warriors do not dare to arbitrarily come to avoid being attacked by the government.

In less than half an hour, Song Yan urged horses to the front of Cangyang Palace.

Compared with Ningwu County, the city of Cangyang Palace is much higher, at least seven or eight feet, even a first-class warrior is difficult to climb.

The status of scholars in this world is still quite high. Therefore, Song Yan, dressed as a scholar, did not encounter difficulties by the guards, and easily entered the mansion through the city gate.

Find a high-end hotel to stay.

He ordered the shop assistant to prepare the bath water to wash, change into a Confucian robe, and had dinner in the shop. Song Yan planned to go to the city for a tour.

The world is full of spiritual energy, and food is generally high-yield. Therefore, the happiness index of ordinary people in this world is still relatively high. A high happiness index means that there are fewer rebels. Therefore, the security in the city is relatively good, so naturally it does not matter curfew.

Unconsciously, Song Yan walked to a brightly lit three-story building.

In front of the building, there was a lot of traffic and horses, and it was very lively.

The three gilded characters in Tianxianglou fell into Song Yan's eyes. Suddenly, he knew where this place was. Wasn't it a prostitute and a court in ancient times, but it is not called a prostitute or a court now. They have a more elegant name. , called Qinglou.

With a move in his heart, Song Yan had the idea of ​​wanting to see it.

"Master, please come in quickly."

As soon as he arrived at the door, there was an enthusiastic Guigong who greeted him.

Song Yan nodded and followed Duke Gui.

After entering the door, there is a huge screen, behind which there are constantly laughter of men and women.

Going around the screen, what you can see is a wide hall. The hall is divided into two halves, and there are dozens of wine tables in each half. Nearly a hundred tables are almost full, but the wine tables are all hugging. men and women.

The men were naturally the guests who came to find flowers and ask the willows, and the women were women from the brothel. However, unlike Song Yan's imagination, these women were dressed conservatively, and did not show their chests or thighs, compared to those of the women in the real world. Dressing up is too far.

In the center of the hall, a wooden ladder leads to the second floor, and faint sounds of piano and other musical instruments come from the rooms upstairs.

"Is the son drinking flower wine? Or is he listening to music?" Duke Gui asked, bowing his body.

"What's the difference between the two?" Song Yan asked curiously.

Guigong replied: "Drinking flower wine is like in the hall, let the girls in our building accompany you to eat and drink, the drinks are free, ordinary girls are one taels of silver, and good looks are two taels. If you want to stay overnight, the cost will be charged separately. .

As for listening to the music, you need to go to the box upstairs. Each box costs 5 taels. If the young master likes the girl who performs the tune for you and plans to spend the night, you will have to add another 5 taels. "

Song Yan nodded: "What about the third floor, where is the third floor?"

Guigong explained: "The third floor is the top card of our Tianxiang Building. If you want to enter the third floor, you have to pay an entry fee of 10 taels of silver. There are nine top cards in our Tianxiang Building, and they will hang them out in front of the door every day. A question, only by answering the question can you be qualified to be the guest of honor for the top girl."

"What if you can't answer?" Song Yan asked back.

Duke Gui smiled: "You look like the kind of talented person, why can't you answer it? However, if you don't bother to answer the question, you can pay another 100 taels, or you can enter the top room."

"You guys are good at doing business, take me to the third floor!" Song Yan took out two silver coins and threw them to Duke Gui.

Immediately, Duke Gui's eyes flashed, and the two ingots of silver were at least seventeen or eighty taels. After deducting the ten taels for entering the building, the remaining seven or eight taels were divided between him and the building, at least three taels of silver. , he became more enthusiastic: "Young Master, please!"

All the way to the third floor, Song Yan really saw nine rooms.

However, the signs for three rooms have already been removed. Obviously, there are already guests in those three rooms.

In the other six rooms, there are title cards hanging in front of the doors, or write a poem based on the title, or couplet couplets, or guess riddles.

Song Yan was interested, and browsed through the topics on the six brands.

"Son, this room lives in the oiran Su Niang in our building. It's a pity that her questions are too difficult. So far, there are no guests who have entered the curtain!" Gui Gong pointed to the largest room and introduced road.

Song Yan raised his eyes and saw that the title of the courtesan was a couplet title.

He said in his mouth, "Didn't you say you can enter even if you give a hundred taels of silver?"

Gui Gong said: "Su Niang is different from the other eight top cards. Only by answering the questions correctly can you enter."

"I see."

Song Yan nodded. He has only learned a lot, but it is not difficult to identify this couplet. At this moment, a young man dressed as a son-in-law came to the third floor, surrounded by two servants and a middle-aged scholar.

"Mr. Wang, it's up to you whether this young master can be the guest of honor of the Hua Kui tonight!" The young son said eagerly to the middle-aged scholar.

The middle-aged scholar smiled proudly: "Young Master Zhou, don't worry, what students are best at is pairing, and tonight I guarantee you will be the guest of the oiran!"
