1388 Broth
The nights in Yanjing City are now not bad compared to Lin'an City, especially for some people who have not lived in both cities at the same time, they are more willing to compare these two cities that have become the capital of the Song Dynasty one after another. Some people even prefer to believe that with the continuous expansion of the territory of the Song Dynasty, Yanjing is now the most prosperous city in the entire Song Dynasty.
Of course, in the eyes of some people who have lived at the same time, Yanjing City is still a little different from Lin'an. Although these gaps are not obvious now, no matter what, Lin'an has been operated by the Song court as the capital for many years. Although Yanjing City is indeed very large, there is still a big gap with Lin'an in many aspects.
However, for Tuo Lei, who had been from Yanjing in the first time from the grassland, the Yanjing City in front of him was already dazzling, so it was naturally even harder to imagine what kind of scene would be Lin'an, which was even more prosperous than Yanjing City in Ye Wuque's mouth.
The two of them were full of wine and food and walked out of the noisy first-floor lobby. There were still many pedestrians on the brightly lit streets. The carriages and sedan chairs were passing through. Following the direction guided by the friend, the two gave up on the carriage and chose to walk to the Jinfeng Tower not far ahead.
As the two walked along the street, carriages and sedan chairs passed by each other from time to time. Tolei was a little confused and said, "Don't they...don't they sleep at night?"
"Night? For them, the night is a day's life just started." Ye Wuque said with a smile. Although he had never lived such a lush nightlife, he had never eaten pork and had he seen a pig run?
Although Yanjing City is not as smoky and streets as Lin'an, some romantic stories, including romantic stories between literati and brothel prostitutes, are often heard, in order to attract more romantic scholars to these places, Yanjing is the capital of the Song people today. After all, the romantic and customs of the Song people will naturally be transplanted here as the court moves the capital.
So even though Ye Wuque had never been to these places, he had heard some rumors about brothels and literati and scholars.
When these legendary and colorful romantic events often spread among the people, more people will yearn for brothels and other places, especially some literati are more willing to look forward to some romantic and elegant events on themselves. Talented men and beautiful women are after all, and they are also things that people are more willing to inquire and talk about.
But whether these romantic and elegant things that countless people yearn for, or the literati and poet had a story that made people talk about with the woman in the brothel, in the eyes of Ye Wuque, the nerd, were simply naked tricks and intrigues, and there was no truth at all.
Although he had never been to brothels and other places, Ye Wuque, a nerd, saw through the essence and tricks of these brothels at a glance. In his eyes, the various love affairs of men and women circulating in the market were news released by brothels themselves, and they were simply hoped to use these love and love to attract more literati and scholars to their brothels.
Of course, he would also be curious whether the amazing brothel women who were rumored to be in the market were really beautiful and talented, which made some literati and scholars finally say that they had found their life-long confidante when they talked to them.
Ye Wuque was not clear about this, so he disdained to come to such a place because in his opinion, it would be fine to come to such a place to have fun, but if he came because of the rumors in the market, he would be stupid and stupid, and he would be fooled by the brothel.
But today is different. Tuo Lei is full of curiosity about it. Ye Wuque also feels that he likes Tuo Lei very much and can be regarded as a confidant who doesn't care about his ugly words, so he naturally has to go and have a look with him.
Turning around the corner, red lanterns almost filled the entire street in front of you, carriages and sedan chairs shuttled through it, and the bluestone road under your feet seemed to suddenly become mysterious and poetic.
The sound of the coachman driving and the chatter of the sedan chairmen were completely covered up in this street by the sound of orioles and swallows. Young boys, middle-aged men and even some gray-bearded old men poked their heads out of the carriage and sedan chairs, and were then greeted by women dressed up in colorful and heavily made-up.
Then, no matter whether it is a teenager, middle-aged or old man, when facing these gorgeous and rich makeup women, most of them will have a mature and persistent aura without losing their identity.
He nodded and greeted the women with the majesty he imagined out of thin air. Then, Ye Wuque saw the most real suppleness on his cheeks, which seemed to be expressionless.
Look, this woman surrounds me, which is enough to show my identity.
An inexplicable sense of accomplishment and nobility arises naturally when surrounded by those colorful women. The feeling of superiority is instantly entering the magnificent Golden Phoenix Tower, and it is even more noble by those women who are as thin as cicadas' wings.
The madam's flattering laughter and the humble whisper of the house's men undoubtedly made too many people find the sense of accomplishment and dignity that they cannot find in their daily lives. Naturally, it is more of a good place to vent their deepest dark emotions in their hearts.
Seeing what happened on the street, Ye Wuque began to feel a little nervous and weak, while Tuolei looked curious with stars. Especially when he saw those women with colorful makeup and heavy makeup styling facing the man in front of him, his heart instantly became itchy, as if some kind of wildness was instantly hooked up and began to slowly resurrect in his heart.
"This Golden Phoenix Tower is so big, you're about to catch up with the palace?" Now Ye Wuque is more like a local bun.
Tuo Lei shook his head and said, "No, the palace is much bigger than here, and it is still incomparable to the palace. Today, the King of Yan took me to the palace..."
"I'm just making an example, but I don't really compare this place to a palace." Ye Wuque said angrily: "Besides, if I compare this place to a palace, wouldn't the current emperor cause trouble for me?"
"Let's go in too." The wildness deep in Tuole's heart had been completely resurrected. He was impatient to look at Ye Wuque, who was still hesitating and actually wanted to retreat.
Ye Wuque, who was still stuck in the Tang Book on his back, looked at the magnificent Golden Phoenix Tower at the gate where people came and went, swallowed unconsciously and said honestly: "But...but how can you get in? I think those women are walking in surrounded by them, but we... no one is looking for us. We just walked in like this, doesn't it seem a bit abrupt?"
"It's not abrupt. When you go in, you just say we want to find a girl, right?" Tuolei said straightforwardly.
Ye Wuque frowned and glared at Tolei: "This is Yanjing. Even this brothel... should be a place that pays attention to etiquette. It is not like your grassland that eats raw meat and drinks blood. Let's take a look."
"Don't you dare to go in? You're as timid as a mouse." Tuo Lei was not stupid either. He just didn't understand it for the first time, but looking at Ye Wuque who was no longer as calm as before, he could naturally guess a few things Ye Wuque thoughts.
"I haven't. This is called not fighting unprepared battles. This is called knowing yourself and the others, and you don't understand." Ye Wuque said with a tough forehead.
Tuo Lei looked at the night sky above his head speechlessly, as if the night sky in Yanjing City was more swaying than the night sky on the grassland.
Just when the two of them were hesitating and didn't know what to do, the madam who rarely walked out of the Jinfeng Tower welcomed a middle-aged man into the building with a smile, Yu Guang quickly noticed the two curious boys not far away.
The madam Hua Niang, who was planning to ignore it, was welcomed by the middle-aged man into the Jinfeng Tower and was about to greet other guests, but suddenly stopped. Then she looked at the other guests on the floor waiting for her to greet him. Then she walked out of the door by a stranger and walked towards the two curious boys.
"Here's coming, come, come." Tuolei looked at the woman who twisted her waist, as if she was about to shake his heart, and hurriedly pulled Ye Wuque's sleeve.
"Be calm, be more steady, don't show it. I didn't see those people just now holding... that kind of spirit? We have to do that too. I tell you, don't do it randomly after entering, don't embarrass me." Ye Wuque said this, but his legs were urged to retreat.
"Don't worry, I'll listen to you after I go in." Tuole hurriedly said hurriedly before the woman could come to the front.
Although only one woman came to greet them, unlike several women who were holding the moon, for them, having one is better than not. At least in this way, wouldn’t you be able to enter!
"I have paid tribute to the two young men." The madam twisted the waist of the water snake and walked in a lotus step, especially when she noticed that when she walked into the two young men, one of them was one of them.
When the boy kept staring at her, the madam was very proud, as if she had returned to her peak years.
"Xiaosheng...Xiaosheng...This...This is polite..." Ye Wuque, who is usually polite, is now as if his tongue is tied up by someone, and his words are not smooth.
Tuo Lei looked at Ye Wuque in surprise, then looked at the madam who was stuttering with tempting fragrance after approaching them, straightened her chest and raised her chin and said, "We are here to find a girl."
The nerd Ye Wuque was no longer a nerd at this time. He hurriedly reached out to cover Tolei's mouth. Under the madam's shocked expression, he squeezed out a smile and said, "Yes, yes, he is right... No, we mean..."
When the madam was hitting the middle-aged man, her smart eyes quickly swept through the details of the two people. At this moment, she could not hold back the smile on her face when she heard the two teenagers' words. However, she just lowered her head and picked up her sleeves to cover her laughter, and then raised her head with a smile and said, "No matter what the two teenagers do or what they look for, both teenagers can rest assured that we have everything in our Golden Phoenix Tower, as long as the two teenagers can say it."
"Of course it's the best." Ye Wuque once again wanted to learn from the people who had just entered the Golden Phoenix Tower, but it always made him feel awkward, so he had to learn from the dialogue in the book and said.
The madam Hua Niang lowered her head and raised her sleeve to cover her smile. After coughing twice, she invited Ye Wuque and Tuolei to go to the Jinfeng Tower.
Within a short distance, Toulei was looking around in novelty. Ye Wuque didn't want to show that he had never seen the world like Toulei, but he couldn't help but be curious, and he secretly glanced at everything in the Golden Phoenix Tower like a thief.
Of course, the two of them spent most of their time on those thin and gorgeous young women.
"Are the two young men in the private room or... here..." Even after entering the Golden Phoenix Tower, the old madam still seemed very enthusiastic and did not even ask others to greet the two rookies.
Ye Wuque had no idea since he came in. In addition, the madam's tone was extremely ambiguous, which made people immediately understand: the meaning of the private room and the hall is the enjoyment of the two worlds.
While hesitating, Tuo Lei's recklessness at this time seemed more like experience: "Since he is here to look for a girl... it is naturally..."
"The Elegant Room and the Elegant Room." Ye Wuque also reacted at this time. If there was a woman next to him in public and they had so few clothes on them, it would seem unruly. It would be better to be in the Elegant Room.
The madam understood the wrong meaning, but the two of them were going to do something earth-shaking today. After all, because they were still the same..., I felt a little embarrassed. I smiled and said nothing. Then I greeted a woman who could cover her body and took them to the second floor.
It was fresh everywhere, especially when they saw these women dressed as thin as cicadas, their eyes were full of curiosity. When they walked into a decorated, poetic and picturesque elegant room, a carriage stopped at the door again, and looking at the formation, it was obvious that the person coming was either rich or noble.
The madam Hua Niang couldn't help but tidy up her clothes, and then followed the shopkeeper of Jinfenglou to stand in front of the door. Then, two middle-aged men, chatting and laughing, walked out of a carriage.
"I dare not say Lin'an City, but in Yanjing... I'm afraid you haven't been to these places yet? The entire Yanjing City is comparable to that of Xiyu Tower. We will go there another day." King Zhao Shichun of Wu pointed to the three words Jinfeng Tower and said.
The shopkeeper, the madam Hua Niang not far away, and even the few friends behind him, did not even come forward to welcome the guests. Instead, they stood there quietly waiting, and then moved forward after they finished speaking.
"I've never been here. I should be the most familiar with this Yanjing city, but I have the real taste... Haha, of course you know it." Another middle-aged man seemed extremely relaxed in front of King Zhao Shichun of Wu, and even dared to pat Zhao Shichun on the shoulder casually.
This made the shopkeeper and the madam Jinfenglou who were originally in front of the door even more frightened to see it. For a moment, they kept guessing in their hearts who this strange man was!
