Chen Xi wanted to break free, but he was not as strong as the old man, so he couldn't get it. After the old man found Chen Xi's impatient, he relaxed his hand consciously.

If the shopkeeper pursues him and disturbs the customers, he will not think of coming here again to play Sanxian to earn rewards.

On the other hand, Su Tong and others were surprised. This blind old man didn't look for anyone else, but just grabbed Chen Xi, which was very magical.

Su Tong asked: "How is the old man serious?"

The old man saw that there is still a market for this trick, so he quickly added: "I'm going to hide it from you, I know some tricks of geography and mysterious air. This young man should not be old, his future is bright, and his future is bright."

Su Tong praised: "The old man really has two wise eyes, but he is smart. This brother Shen passed the county examination and the prefecture examination at a young age, and he also got the head of the prefecture examination. People in the world said that he has the top scorer. There are still a few cents here. If you have the chance, you can ask Brother Shen's family to take him to your place to visit and let you calculate Brother Shen's fate."

The old man was overjoyed. He had only a few words and had to give a few more money to reward. The money was a bit too easy to make. Chen Xi glanced at him and shook his head helplessly. How could he say that the warlock in the martial arts world can be considered a 360-odd profession. Didn’t he deceive his family and said that he was studying because he was appreciated by an old Taoist priest?

After coming out of the wine shop, Su Tong was still talking about the strange stories just now, and specially reminded: "Brother Shen should ask some experts in the martial arts world to calculate fortunes, which may be helpful to the future."

Chenxi has not yet made any reservations, and the pedestrians have arrived at the Jiaofang.

If you want to talk about a brothel like a brothel, you must have a name, which is to make it easier for customers to remember and you can visit it frequently in the future. However, these days, the teaching halls are all run by the government, so it is inappropriate to name them. It has a big door, but there is not even a serious signboard.

It was not the first time Su Tong came to Jiaofang, and he was familiar with the passage and led everyone in the door.

As soon as I passed the door, a guest came to salute and guided the way for the pedestrians.

This sect house is not as smoky as the brothel and Chu Pavilion, and it seems quiet and elegant. Chen Xi looks around. Except for the wise guests, it seems that the people in the sect house have not come out of the house. Generally speaking, the people assigned by the government to manage may be the eunuchs in the palace who were old and weak and sent back to their hometown, or the artists who are musicians themselves, who are all those who are old and have a few words but are powerless towards women.

Or, it is a woman who comes from a sect but is older and is usually called a madam or a madam.

"Brother Shen. There are many rules here. Don't say a word for it for a while, just sit and enjoy it. Everything is arranged by your brother. This banquet does not require you to pay money. You are only responsible for eating the banquet and listening to music. After the meal, you will send you back to me."

Chen Xi nodded, saying that Su Tong was considerate to be entertained. In fact, Su Tong was also an invitee today, but his performance seemed to be the host of the banquet everywhere.

When I entered the door of the Jiaofang, there was a patio inside. There were two-story buildings on all sides, and there were a few red and green umbrellas in the middle. It was said that this May day, there was a lot of rain in Fujian. But these umbrellas were more like decoration.

There are several moon gates connected to the backyard in the patio. Behind the moon gate, you can see a corridor with carved beams and painted buildings, and even a light green spot in the lotus pond. The banquet hall is upstairs around the surrounding building, and the backyard connected to the corridor is where girls and maids live here.

Chen Xi thought that the church house in Tingzhou Prefecture had been built for several years. The place was very ordinary, without red and green, and even looked a little dilapidated.

There is no glitz and dazzling described in the outside, but the courtyard that looks clean and tidy.

Finally, I arrived at the second floor. The guest opened the door and entered the room, but there were no tall tables and chairs. They were all floor mats. After entering the door, they had to take off their shoes first, then barefoot or socks to a few small square tables in the center of the banquet living room, and kneel around the small square table.

A square table can be seated for two or three people, and eight people can sit around three small tables.

As soon as the man sat down, a maid came in, holding a tea stool in his hand, with a good fragrant tea on it. The maid was young, only thirteen or fourteen years old, and she looked pretty and charming. She lowered her head and poured tea for the guests.

Chen Xi thought that if Lin Dai did not escape with her mother back then, she might also serve tea and water in a certain teaching house today, and learn skills and then come out to perform and cheer people up after adulthood.

As Zhike and the maid who delivered tea left, footsteps came from the door. A woman in her thirties, wearing a clean white dress, opened the door slowly and entered inside.

"Yu Niang, it's been a long time since."

When Su Tong saw this woman, he couldn't help but smile and greet him.

The status of the madam in the Jiaofangsi is really not high. Even if Su Tong greets her, he does not get up or bow. Instead, the woman called "Yu Niang" came over and bowed down and knelt on the ground to salute: "Young Master Su, you all, you guys."

After straightening up, her beautiful eyes looked around everyone present. This was also her professional habit. First, she had to understand the taste of the guests' clothes. In the Jiaofang, people who first respected silk clothes and then respected people were very common. Her eyes finally settled on Shen Xi, and her face became more surprised. This Jiaofang had never received guests as old as Chen Xi.

Su Tong smiled and introduced the people present. In fact, many scholars among them had been here for a long time, and Su Tong did not need Su Tong's introduction. Every time he introduced the person, Yu Niang would bend down to salute. Finally, Su Tong introduced Chen Xi: "This is the youngest son of the Shen family. Yu Niang did not look at the young master Chen, but his talent was extraordinary. He had passed the county and prefecture examinations at the age of ten, and was likely to become the youngest scholar in Tingzhou Prefecture's history."

Yu Niang said in surprise: "This is Chen Xi, who was sharpened by the sword in the undergraduate examination, and the fragrance of plum blossoms came from the bitter cold, and the head of the desk was obtained by the head of the desk, Mr. Chen?"

This question is about asking Chen Xi, but Chen Xi is not easy to answer. While hesitating, Su Tong had already replied on behalf of him: "That's it."

Yu Niang smiled and said, "No wonder, no wonder, no matter which guest comes these days, they are talking about Mr. Chen's poem. The girls are still guessing how this Mr. Chen is a romantic talent. It turns out that he is, but in the future he will be a handsome young man."

Yi's words caused laughter from those present.

As the girl spoke, she was charming, which not only praised people, but also looked playful and natural. Although she was a little older, she was very sure of a man's mentality, which made everyone itchy.

Chen Xi had no experience in visiting Fengyue places, and at this time he showed a slight embarrassment at the right time. Seeing that a child could not bear these tricks of dealing with men, Yu Niang no longer asked more about Chen Xi, but focused on Su Tong.

The Su family is a well-known gentry family in Tingzhou Prefecture. Now, Su Tong is the head of the Yi family at only twenty years old, with a huge industry in his hands. In addition, he likes to seek flowers and ask about the moon, this sect has become a frequent visitor by Su Tong and is a big customer, so Yu Niang is not worried about it.

"Mr. Su doesn't know which girls to come to accompany you today? But she said that the last time Miss Xier and Mr. Su met, she still often talked about it."

After hearing this, Su Tong looked a little satisfied: "Then let Miss Xier come over. It's best to ask Miss Yunliu, I have never had the fate to meet each other a few times. I wonder if I can see you today?"

Yu Niang smiled and said, "Mr. Su wants to see Yunliu, will you ask when you come alone next time? In such a crowded occasion, I'm afraid Miss Yunliu is not suitable for meeting!"

Su Tong nodded with a smile. He naturally regarded Yu Niang's words as a hint: "Next time you come alone, you will definitely see Yunliu." But Chen Xi thought about this. Yu Niang just said, "You come alone and invite him next time, or you will have a chance."

Just a speaking skill, I grasped the mentality of Su Tongba’s hope to see the girl Yunliu. This is also the way of management of the sect. It can manage this huge sect and deal with many men. Yu Niang is indeed a capable woman.

This time, eight people came to have a banquet. It was obviously not enough for only one girl to accompany her. Su Tong asked again: "Miss Yunliu has the best piano skills, but I don't know who else can play the piano well? He invited me out. Our young master Chen is quite eager for the music of the piano."

"Then Su'er and Xiuyue. They have good piano skills, and even the masters who teach piano praise them." Yu Niang recommended, "Their appearance and figure are also very good. They can also dance to help the wine. In addition, a girl from Nanjing has not seen a guest yet, and her piano skills are also good. Why not let Mr. Su and Mr. Chen take a palm or a few?"

Su Tong heard the bright eyes in front of him and nodded, "It's great, please bother Yu Niang's arrangement."

Yu Niang smiled and pursed her lips, stood up respectfully and retreated to the door before turning around and leaving.

The smiles and the movements of the frowns and smiles all look elegant and moving.

Su Tong sighed, "But it is said that this Yu Niang is also a concubine of an official family. Unfortunately, her husband's family was punished and she was sent to the church. There was a lack of a beautiful woman in the world, but it also added some fun to us."

Everyone present should be, and it can be seen that they admire Yu Niang quite a bit.

If you are a general customer who comes to the Jiaofang, you have to send the money to the account in advance, otherwise you don’t know if you are here to cheat food and drink. The money for entering the door, the money for tea, the money for wine, and the rewards for the informant and the maid are all essential. But Su Tong is an old customer, and Yu Niang is very familiar with him, so you can wait for the final settlement before paying these expenses.

When Yu Niang left the door, a maid started to deliver snacks and dried fruits inside.

Su Tong smiled and explained to Chen Xi: "Many of the girls in this place were once spoiled by the officials, not only knowledgeable and etiquette, but also talented. This girl who just came from Nanjing Prefecture has no reputation, but she may also be a talented person with excellent looks. When I come back in the future, I may have to be very arrogant, and it is even more difficult to spend as much money to meet and have a cup of tea."

Chen Xi nodded, and he understood Su Tong's meaning.

The reason why Yu Niang said that there were new girls who wanted them to appreciate them was mainly because the girl was not famous when she first arrived, so she needed Su Tong and others to help promote her so that she could raise her value. You must know that even if the girls here are outstanding in appearance and talent, they still need packaging and publicity. Otherwise, why would others listen to your name? They didn’t even see anyone, and they just spent a few taels of silver or even dozens of taels of silver just to meet and have a cup of tea?

Young Master Zheng smiled beside him and said, "Everyone, maybe my mother will ask us to paint the new girl later. If the painting is good, or the money for this banquet will be saved, haha, I don't know if you have this ability."
