Chapter 39 Red Light District

Pei Shaoqing originally didn't want to bring Qingxuan.

What is this to cheat on a brothel with a female crown?

However, Qingxuan was extremely loyal to his duties and insisted on going.

Pei Shaoqing had no choice but to bring Qingxuan in the end.

Soon the two of them arrived at the South Gate of Changlefang.

Wu Hou who had already received Fang Zheng's advice, so he opened the door quickly.

The two of them came out of Nanfang Gate and saw that the street was empty.

Chang'an City, which had been lively for three days and nights, suddenly became quiet, especially since the lights of the Shangyuan Festival were brightly lit, and the streets suddenly became dark, which made Pei Shaoqing a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, it is the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, and the moonlight is still very bright, so you won’t be able to see the road clearly.

Otherwise, it would be embarrassing to hit the elm and locust trees on the street or simply fall into the ditch.

The two of them took advantage of the moonlight to Wangxianmen Street, and then went south. After walking in the Sanfang Land, they arrived at Pingkangfang.

"Here, the yard ahead is Pingkangfang." Qingxuan pointed ahead and said angrily, "The Nanqu you mentioned is on the east side of the North Street of Pingkangfang."

Pei Shaoqing looked around,

I saw that the direction of Pingkangfang was dark.

There wasn't even a big red lantern.

Pei Shaoqing was a little disappointed at this moment. Is this also called the red light area?

Where is the light? The red light area without big red lanterns has no soul.

Shouldn’t brothels be tall buildings with red walls and green tiles, carved beams and painted buildings?

Then there are rows of eye-catching red lanterns hanging under the eaves of the bracket, which can be seen ten miles away?

But Pingkangfang is not a tall building, and even a black lantern cannot be seen. With this row, the quality of the girl from the Yang Liu family is probably worrying.

Pei Shaoqing went to most of the time with interest.

He is still very picky about the quality of girls.

Tips below 1,000 are not considered.

But when we come, we should stay Kang Kang first.

The two of them immediately turned to the Beifang Gate of Pingkangfang.

The gate of the house is naturally closed, and Wuhou is guarding it.

Seeing that it was a small green robe official and a Taoist nun, the Wu Hou who was guarding the gate looked a little unkind.

Because there are more than a dozen states in Pingkangfang, which are the reception offices in Chang'an, there are countless officials who come and go to and from green robes and green robes that come and go every day.

But when these green robes and green robes are met, they must be respectfully treated.

If you don’t give me any benefits, you still want to enter Pingkangfang carelessly. What do you think?

It is true that officials have privileges, but not all officials have privileges. The conventional unspoken rule is that only high-ranking officials with purple or breezes above have privileges.

Small officials under the sixth rank do not enjoy privileges.

Pei Shaoqing's face collapsed, and it was so embarrassing.

Finally, Qingxuan whispered: "Don't you have a purple goldfish bag?"

Pei Shaoqing woke up like a dream and showed off the purple goldfish bag he wore around his waist.

Seeing the purple goldfish bag, the guard's face changed drastically and he quickly opened the door and let it go.

After entering the yard gate, Pei Shaoqing finally heard the sound of silk and bamboo, the woman's giggles, and finally saw the lights, and finally felt a little smell of powder.

Not long after walking, I saw a man coming up.

When I got closer, I realized that the person who came looked familiar.

"Pei Sicheng." The man stepped forward and greeted him.

Pei Shaoqing scratched his head and said, "You dare to ask what you are..."

The man smiled and said, "Little Man Wu Liu."

Pei Shaoqing suddenly said, "It turns out to be Butler Wu."

Pei Shaoqing then remembered that this person was Wu Sansi's housekeeper.

Wu Liu smiled and said, "My Alang said that Pei Sicheng should come here now, so he specially asked villains to welcome them to avoid the difficulties of those things that look down on people."

Pei Shaoqing said: "Please trouble Butler Wu."

"No trouble." Wu Liudao, "What's the matter?"

At that moment, Wu Liu led Pei Shaoqing's horse to the south.

"It's probably the first time Pei Sicheng has come to Pingkangfang, right?"

"That villain has to say to Pei Sicheng."

"Look at the row of bungalows near the wall in the north, it is called Beiqu."

"The people living in Beiqu are all cheap local prostitutes, who have no talent and are ordinary in appearance. Many prostitutes are not young anymore, and they only make some money from peddlers."

"Look at the attic in the middle again, this place is called Zhongqu."

"Most of the people living here are young ladies, and they are pretty good."

"Most of the people who come here for fun are students from the Imperial College and local officials who come to Beijing to visit."

"Look at the dozen courtyards in the south, including mountains, water, pavilions and towers. This is Nanqu."

"This Nanqu is a famous gold-selling cave in Chang'an City. If it were not for a well-educated person or a wealthy family, it would be impossible to enter Nanqu to condemn it."

Pei Shaoqing said: "A well-educated man? Do you need to have knowledge when you cheat on a brothel?"

Wu Liu said again: "Of course, you get what you pay for. When the price goes up, the service will naturally rise."

"The little girl in this Nanqu opera must not only beauties, but also talented. She must be good at playing and singing. The key is to know how to write and write poetry."

"For example, the Paner girl from the Yang Liu family."

"Not only are people beautiful, but they are also outstanding in poetry."

"Can be called Pingkangfang's beauty over the beauty of all the celebrities!"

In the story of Wu Butler, Pei Shaoqing had a rough understanding of Pingkangfang.

Generally speaking, the customs and industries of the Tang Dynasty were still in their early stages, and were basically self-employed, and had not yet evolved to the advanced stage of large-scale operations.

For example, the Yang Liu family.

With the top brand Xue Paner, there are only five girls in total.

How can this work? This way, at most one group of guests will be received in one night. If you come a few more groups of guests, you have to go to another house to find a girl to save the situation.

I soon arrived at Yang Liu's house, which was a three-bay yard.

The gate looks a little rustic, with neither towering hanging mountains nor carved beams and painted buildings.

After entering the door, the front yard was where a turtle slave came over and led Pei Shaoqing and Qingxuan's mounts into the downward room that served as stables. Wu Liu led the two of them straight into the Chuhuamen.

There are hand-papered veranda on both sides of the hanging flower door leading to the east and west wings.

But Wu Liu led the two of them straight through the courtyard.

Wu Liu stopped when he walked to the door of the main room, and Qingxuan also stopped, only Pei Shaoqing went in with great enthusiasm.

The hall was brightly lit, with a square table in the middle, some pastries, dried fruits, hot vegetables and cold dishes. Then eight or nine men and women sat around the table, talking and laughing, and it was very lively.

Wu Sansi is undoubtedly the one who lives in the opposite position.

Seeing Pei Shaoqing come in, Wu Sansi immediately got up and said with a smile: "Pei Sicheng, you are late!"

Seeing Wu Sansi get up, the little girl sitting beside Wu Sansi, and the three men and four women sitting on both sides, they also got up and turned to look at the gate.

Pei Shaoqing recognized at a glance that the three men were Yang Jiong, Lu Zhaolin and Luo Binwang.

"Oh, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Pei Shaoqing repeatedly said to a humble man, "I'm so embarrassed."
