Zheng Jia whispered: "All the brothels in Hangzhou called Shangming have flower boats floating on the lake."

Lin Yutong was not in a hurry and walked slowly along the river to watch. She only had Zheng Jia around her, and only a few people followed behind her, all arranged by Zheng Jia, so she didn't care at all.

Large ships were hung with lanterns. The lanterns were painted with beauty or the flower name of the girl who came out and hung them high. When the guests came, they would take down the lamp belonging to which girl was lit and hung at the door of the private room. There were guests who were willing to eat wine on the deck, and the lantern was hung on the side of the boat next to them. Therefore, from this perspective, there were beauty lamps everywhere, one stuffed one big, one stuffed one bright, and one stuffed one shining. The brightness could shine half of the lake.

Ships looked over, Xunfang Pavilion, Wanhua Tower, Chunfeng Tower, Baihua Tower... You can tell what you are doing at the first time you hear the name. It was interesting to see, and when you look at it from a distance, you can see a few lanterns hanging on the masts at the farthest stop. The lanterns rotated in the wind, shaped like white lotus. There are a few words on the lanterns.

It's different from being unique.

She smiled slightly, took two steps forward, and then felt something was wrong.

There are not many customers who use it, it is very rare, but it is an elegant name for a plant.

This plant is nothing else, it is lotus. People always call lotus lotus, lotus, lotus, whip lotus, water lotus, etc. These are all commonly said, but there are still some titles, and they don’t say much. For example, the buds that are not bloomed are called lotus, the flowers that are bloomed are called whip lotus, and they are also called Shuizhi, Shuiyun, Shuidan, Shuihua, etc. Xike and Yu are more rare than before. Lin Yutong thinks that just like Kong Yiji asked about the word fennel beans, the majority of people don’t know, and remembering so many people is actually quite boring.

No matter who knows, he just smiles knowingly. The Xike can be understood as the girls in their family are all out of the mud without being stained, and can also be explained as cherishing the guests and being rare. It can be said that they live alone ingeniously.

But Lin Yutong was thinking about the white lantern with lotus written on it. It was not the white lotus connected together.

I don’t know if I’m thinking too much, but Lin Yutong still plans to go and have a look.

There were small boats passing by the lake to pick up and drop off guests. Zheng Jia went over to pay five taels of silver and booked the boat all night. Then he left for the river.

The boatman is an old man and a very interesting person. He keeps saying something to persuade Lin Yutong in local dialect, such as not being addicted to women, etc.

Lin Yutong smiled: "Old man, you can't do business like this."

The old man laughed, "Why do you advise people to be kind and accumulate merits?" He asked Lin Yutong again, "I heard that the young master is not a local, is he a businessman from another place or visits relatives? I know that the young master is here, I am afraid he will be worried..."

Lin Yutong would answer the old man's question, saying, "I want to find a peaceful place to spend time, not the one who seeks pleasure..." She pointed to the flower boat in the distance, "Isn't it better to have fun?"

The old man laughed, "Young Master is really not a vulgar person..."

Lin Yutong sat on the shaking boat, hid her face in the shadows, and her eyes flashed when she looked at the old man. Why is he not a vulgar person when he went to Xikeju?

When the boat approached, a few boatwomen immediately came to pick me up on the big boat. When I turned around, I saw that the old man's ship had already been rowed. He would definitely not go far after he had packed his boat. He moved the boat away to avoid blocking the way on the boat. This is not surprising. After all, if you often do such a business in this area, you should understand the rules. But what's interesting is that when the old man left just now, these boatwomen did not give the old man a red seal. This is not in line with the rules.

Just now, I could hear the sound of boatmen talking to each other. This one said Wanhua Tower was generous today, and gave ten cents, while the other said Chunfeng Tower was also good, and gave eight cents. This should be the rule of this industry. This Xikeju should not be a place that does not understand the rules. So the identity of the old man just now should be checked.

She glanced at Zheng Jia, and Zheng Jia nodded slightly, indicating that she understood.

This kind of thought in my mind was just a moment. When I turned around, I saw a woman in her thirties walking out. She didn't think of the madam at all, but instead looked a little out of the world. She came over and smiled and greeted her, "Are you a casual guest, is it the first time you've been here?"

Another special place. This is not the first time Lin Yutong has come back to such a place. No matter where you meet a regular customer, you will say something else. Why are you here? I miss you!

This person who directly called him a young guest, which is very interesting.

It seems that every guest has a foundation in his heart.

Just as he was about to speak, another boat was approaching, a middle-aged scholar in green came up with his entourage. The boatwoman gave the boatman who was carrying the passengers a purse. The woman who was greeting him here only nodded to the guest lightly, "I won't say hello to you when you are here, you can do whatever you want."

It seems to be a regular customer.

The scholar in blue bowed his hand and looked very polite, and went inside. I don’t know which private room I went to.

The woman turned her face to look at Lin Yutong, "Are you looking for someone to accompany you, or do you want to have a leisure time?"

Lin Yutong raised her eyebrows and said, "I want to be quiet by myself."

The woman was blessed again and turned around and whispered: "Come with me."

The door from the bow of the boat was pushed open, and it was very bright when you entered. First there was a hall, then a passage went straight to the inside, with private rooms on both sides. Through the long corridor, the other side was the stairs, and up the stairs, there was the hall on the second floor. There were a few people sitting leisurely in the hall, some playing chess, some fighting tea, and some gathering together and muttering and wondering what to say. There were two young girls standing next to them. These girls were not frivolous and served in a regular manner. Even if new guests came, they didn't look up.

When these guests saw the woman, they nodded and nodded in greetings, and whispered to Sanniang.

The woman named Sanniang also greeted her one by one, but she kept walking with Lin Yutong inside. There were two rows of private rooms. When she reached the middle, she gently pushed open a door with pomegranate painting and asked Lin Yutong to come in.

The place inside is not big, but it is very exquisite and unique. There is a couch next to the window, and there is a small table on the couch, which can be eaten and played chess. There are ready-made ones on the table. There are also small bookshelfs next to it, and there are various travel notes on the shelves, which seem to be for people to make time.

Before she could figure it out, Sanniang brought two more girls in, "Master, let's ask these two to serve you."

As he said that, he retreated without waiting for Lin Yutong to answer.

It's very interesting. If you don't ask who your surname is or who you are, you won't ask anything. This will inevitably make many people feel good about it.

Very clever way to do it.

She was stunned and the two girls who came in, one knelt beside the side and started making tea, the other went to the screen, and when the tea fragrance came, the sound of the lingering piano sounded.

Such a pastime is filled with elegance!

The tea was handed over and smelled of a lotus fragrance. "This should be lotus tea, right?" she asked.

The tea girl responded softly, then lowered her head and refused to answer. She looked very regular.

Lin Yutong first smelled it, then sent it to her lips for a taste. The temperature was just right, and she pretended to be casual, "I just don't know if this is white lotus tea or red lotus tea?"

The tea-producing girl slapped her hands slightly, "I don't know very well. The lotus tea must be made in a lotus bag. Who knows whether it is a white lotus or a red lotus?"

Some flower buds are pink, but the flowers blooming are white. That's why I say this.

Lin Yutong smiled, but did not ask again, and chatted with the girl in a good mood, "...How old is it? What's the name? Why did it fall here?"

This girl seemed to have memorized her, and her tone was very smooth, "It's fifteenth, Ya, my father and mother remarry, and it's easier to live by selling herself."

Lin Yutong didn't ask any questions, these people couldn't ask anything.

She waved her hand, "You all go down. I want to see the night view alone."

The sound of the piano came to an abrupt end, and then the two girls quietly retreated.

"Young Master..." Zheng Jia hurriedly called.

Lin Yutong turned his face and looked at him. Zheng Jia quickly silenced and stood quietly against the door, ensuring that no one would push the door in without permission. Lin Yutong then observed the entire private room, which was long, wide and high, and the area was so large, and there were places where there were hidden people. As we walked along the way, we met not many people, far from other places. But the guests here had a characteristic, all of them were people with status. This identity may be officials, gentry, gentry, or literati leaders, and these people were not eager people. Such places just like their preferences. These people had such identities, and if they were just poetry, wine, tea, it was just a joke. In such places, it was actually OK to talk about secret matters. So, she wanted to see if there was a secret room here.

I calculated silently in my heart, and Lin Yutong shook her head. There was indeed no such place. But this is wrong!

She waved her hand and called Zheng Jiarongyi, and then went straight out of the door. She walked slowly along the way, but she didn't hear any sound coming from the private room. The sound insulation effect was too good.

She walked out of the corridor, but no one came to stop her, as if she was walking freely inside. She did not go down from the second floor, but stopped in the hall on the second floor. She quietly walked to the tables of the two old men and watched them play chess.

The two of them only looked up at Lin Yutong and didn't care. An old man pointed to the chair next to her and asked her to sit on it.

Since she came, she was at ease and sat down. Seeing the two old men coming to kill me, Lin Yutong felt energetic. It was not until she picked up the tea cup again without realizing it that she was shocked. If she remembered correctly, she had already drunk the second cup of tea. But for so long, she never noticed that someone around her poured tea for herself. The first time she didn't show up, and the second time she didn't show up. If she hadn't remembered that her tea seemed to be over, this time it was full, she wouldn't have realized something was wrong.

Who poured tea at the time? I was completely unconscious!

If you can't even feel it, what about the others? You will only feel that you are serving here carefully.

But it is not easy to train everyone to this level, nor is it a matter of one day or one night. Even if you serve in the palace, there are not many people who can do this.

If this is the case, then there is no need to eavesdrop. Those who serve here think they are all clear-headed.

Lin Yutong simply stood up quietly and took Zheng Jia downstairs.

The Sanniang stood at the stairs, "Are you leaving?"

"I looked at the night view of West Lake, and it's time to go back." Lin Yutong was very polite. "I still have family members at home, so I won't bother you."

Sanniang took Lin Yutong out, "Then you go slowly."

When they arrived at the hall, Lin Yutong pointed Zheng Jia with the fan in his hand. Zheng Jia took out his purse and put it on the table, "Buy flowers for the lady's door."

The smile on Sanniang's face stretched out two more points. Lin Yutong understood that it was not for money, but for respect. It was not always good to give her money. For example, Sanniang, I am afraid that she never regarded herself as a kiln sister.

The boatwoman shook a few times with the lantern, and the old boatman came over with the boat. Lin Yutong was not in a mood to chat with him when she was not here, and closed her eyes until the shore.
Chapter completed!
