"Is this... a brothel?" Lin Chen stood at the entrance of this Qunyuyuan, a little hesitant. Although he had never been to a brothel, he also knew what kind of place it was.

Mu Jiawang seemed to see Lin Chen's hesitation, so he said to him: "Brother Lin, don't worry, these jade courtyards are Qin Buildings, not brothels, and not "filthy" places."

"Qinlou?" Lin Chen was puzzled. What is the difference between this?

Mu Jiawang explained: "It is said that a long time ago, the emperor was young, so a minister of the Ministry of Rites deceived his subordinates and accepted bribes, and tampered with the imperial examination. Later, although the emperor ordered beheading, the emperor still felt that such corruption should not be settled so easily. So a chief minister named Qin suggested to the emperor: The thief ignored etiquette and law, despised the king, and embezzled and accepted bribes. Although he had been beheaded at this moment, it was not enough to shock the rest of the people with ulterior motives. The weak minister had a plan, and the remaining female relatives in his family would be placed in a building, so that they would play music and rap and please others, so that those who dared to have strange intentions would know that if anyone committed a crime, not only would he have to be beheaded, but the wife and daughter in the family should also show their faces like the dancer, and they would be ruined from now on and become a laughing stock on the street!"

Li Xiaoran continued: "At the beginning, Qinlou refers to the rafts opened by the government, and the music girl dancers among them were all the wives and daughters of the officials who were infringed. Later, this method was continued until one time, when the court implemented the new policy reform, there were countless officials involved. A large number of wives and daughters of officials were sent to Qinlou. The court naturally could not control it. Moreover, it was under the reform of the new policy, so there was no intention to care about these trivial matters. So later, many backgrounds appeared among the people, although the government was the government, the shopkeepers were ordinary private Qinlou. Originally, the music girl dancers in Qinlou were the official's wife.

Female, so this kind of place is only open to high-ranking officials. However, later, as more and more Qin Towers among the people became more and more popular, some women with quite beautiful and skilled beauty were sold into Qin Tower, and the threshold for consumption in Qin Tower gradually lowered. Later, some Qin Towers began to gradually change their taste and began to start the "wine and meat" business. Therefore, in order to distinguish between the two, Qin Tower is still called Qin Tower, and some places also call it Qiong Tower. Whereas the "wine and meat" business is named after the homonym of the character "Qin", which is the current "bringing house". Geisha who sells skills but does not buy a body is also a vain prostitute."

Mu Jiawang smiled and said, "Qinlou actually has a hidden rule. If anyone can write a poem for a priest who will make him moved, then he can be invited to the priest's boudoir and listen to her singing and dancing. If she meets her eyes anymore, it is not really not about selling her skills or not..."

"Is the first time the three young men have come?" As soon as they entered the door, an old mother came up and asked with a smile.

"Who said that it was my first time here?" Mu Jiawang was immediately displeased and shouted: "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and arrange a private room for us, serve good wine, and let a few gentlemen come to cheer us up!"

He said, throwing a piece of silver ingot into the old mother's hand.

The old mother thought about it secretly and thought to herself: Good guy, this must be at least ten taels!

In places like Qunyuyuan, the consumption of ten taels of silver may not be a big deal. A pot of tea and a plate of melon seeds costs five taels, but there are not many people who can throw a ten tael of silver ingot out as a tip like Mu Jiawang!

Although Jingzhou City is developing rapidly now and has a vague momentum that is comparable to Jiangcheng, it is just a momentum. Although Jingzhou is already one of the most prosperous cities in Jingchu at this moment, it is not as strong as Jiangcheng after all. Everyone used to be poor, but now they are rich, and they are eager to put it away. Even if they come to visit Qinlou, they will open a gallery and watch dances and music. Even if some "rich" young masters will give some rewards, they will only give some copper coins. If they are "rich", they will give one or two liang. How can they give one or two liang?

The old mother weighed the weight of the silver ingot in her hand, and was already filled with joy. She quickly smiled and said, "Yes, yes! I'll arrange an Accord for the three young men on the third floor. Please!"

The old mother said, and took the three of them upstairs.

At the same time, the old mother was thinking in her heart, could she make more money from this young master?

Although Mu Jiawang denied it, the old mother had already seen that when the three of them walked in, they looked around with a curious look. Moreover, the young master who made a mistake also called "Arge" a "security room". No matter how they looked at it, their various actions showed that it was their first time to come to Qinlou.

However, the old mother would not be too stupid to expose it. She took Mu Jiawang and others to the third floor. The Accord on the third floor was the highest among Qunyuyuan. If she went up, it would be the residence of the Qinggong people.

There is a stage in the middle of the hall of Qunyuyuan. Looking down from the third floor, you can see the scenery of the entire hall.

After the old mother brought the three of them in the Accord, she said, "Please sit for a while, three young masters, and someone will deliver the wine later. If nothing happens, I will go and sue it first."

Mu Jiawang waved his hand and said, "Go, go!"

The old mother took a back and closed the door of the Accord.

After sending the old mother away, Mu Jiawang stood by the railing, staring at the girls dancing on the stage below, and said embarrassedly: "Actually, I'm going to tell you, this is the first time I've been here..."

Li Xiaoran smiled and said, "Brother Mu's legs shook when he entered the door, and I could see it at that time."

When Mu Jiawang heard this, he immediately became unhappy and said angrily: "How can I shake my legs? On the contrary, Brother Li, don't he call himself a "family flower clan"? Why do you look around when you enter the door?"

Lin Chen looked at them quarrel, but did not interrupt, but poured a cup of tea on his own and looked around curiously.

To be honest, he has never been to Qinlou or brothel, except for the opera tram on the street. It was the first time he walked into this group of jade courtyards today.

(In my opinion, the content of the first volume is to describe a beautiful world for everyone, but I read this kind of thing myself and found it very stiff. In the future, I can write less of this kind of content, so I try to write as little as possible... and write more interesting things.)
