Winter is not a good season to say goodbye. After the Spring Festival, there will be no snowflakes. Otherwise, you can copy the poems for the occasion and send them to him. The moon is snowing...
"I'm leaving tomorrow. Qunyuyuan invites you to drink tonight. If you don't get drunk, you won't return!" Li Xuan waved his hand and said very simply.
Li Yi didn't understand at all how his feelings for Qunyuyuan came from. He went to Qunyuyuan to listen to music, went to Qunyuyuan to eat, and went to Qunyuyuan to drink. The strange thing is that he never went there. serious business...
"Forget it in Qunyuyuan, the old rules, go to Ruyifang..." It's okay to be drunk at home, nothing out of the ordinary will happen, and in the brothel—Li Yi is really worried about his chastity.
"Mother-in-law, if there is anything good in Ruyifang, go to Qunyuyuan!"
Li Xuan took the lead, and the two guards supported the reluctant Li Yi, who quickly disappeared under Yang Liuqing's surprised eyes.

Night is always the busiest time for brothels, especially on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, the day when major brothels are competing for the oiran, and famous prostitutes from all walks of life try their best to win a top ranking.
This is of great help to increase their fame and social status. If they can enter the top ten oirans, they will be sought after by countless people in the next year, and they will earn both money and fame.
For the sake of their own girls, all the brothels are actively cooperating with the publicity. The rare ladies and gentlemen who are rarely seen on weekdays come on stage to perform, which naturally attracts the attention of wolves. Comparable to the ten days and a half months before...
To run for the oiran, only the nobles are qualified to do so. A broken flower and a willow will not attract the attention of those nobles. If one of the top ten oirans can settle in their own family, then the financial resources in the coming year will definitely come in. Every oiran , are the cash cows of the brothels to which they belong.
In the Qunyu Courtyard, passing through the winding corridors, isolating the noise from the outside, in a quiet room somewhere, a woman stood quietly at the table, moving her wrists slowly, tracing something on the paper.
"Zui Mo, you can't stop going out to meet guests all the time. The oiran contest has already started, and mother can rely on you to make us look good." The old bustard of Qunyu Court stood beside her and urged.
"Isn't there still Xiangxiang and Miaomiao?" The woman added a few strokes on the paper and said casually.
The old bustard turned bitter-melon-colored, and said, "Oh, my aunt, how can they compare with you? Just listen to your mother's advice and go out to show your face, even if it's just playing a song or singing a few times. In other words, how many sons and brothers want to see you by name. Mom, this is for your own good. If you don’t choose the oiran this year, your life will be sad in the future. If you lose your fame, mom can’t stop you Those nobles."
"Got it..." the woman sighed helplessly.
"That's good, mom will go get ready now." A smile appeared on the old bustard's face immediately, and she hurriedly retreated.
The maid Xiao Cui supported her chin with one hand, and murmured: "Miss, I heard that this year's leaders, Lu Qiaoqiao from Yichun Building and Liu Yiyi from Jinfengyuan are the most popular, and many famous talents have written poems to praise them , Mr. Su gave Liu Yiyi three thousand taels of silver, and many people were envious. Yang Yanzhou wrote a poem for Lu Qiaoqiao, and those who supported her immediately overwhelmed Liu Yiyi. Shang Huakui, what should I do?"
The little maid's worry is not unreasonable. The election of the oiran is of course based on popularity. A nobleman spends a lot of money for a certain girl, or a talented person makes a masterpiece for it, which can greatly increase popularity. The oiran is naturally the focus of attention. , There will be countless men fighting for it, if you meet someone you like, nod your head, and your life's event will be settled.
If you are not selected as an oiran, your reputation will naturally be greatly reduced. Without your reputation, those nobles don't care whether you are a nobleman or not. Sometimes they even use some tough methods, and no one will stop them.
Those who have lost their bodies are naturally no longer nobles, and will eventually be reduced to the same as most prostitutes, making a living by trading flesh and blood.
Xiaocui was still muttering to herself, Zeng Zuimo looked up at the sky outside the window from the cage-like room, a trace of longing appeared in her beautiful eyes, but it soon turned into helplessness.
"Xiao Cui."
The girl talking to herself raised her head.
"Prepare hot water, I want to take a shower..."
…
…
"good!"
Li Xuan drank a glass of wine, stared at the stage, and clapped his hands vigorously.
After Li Xuan's guards offered two pieces of silver ingots, the woman wearing a gauze dress with her belly button exposed danced even more vigorously.
There were almost no empty seats in the lobby. When the two came here just now, there were actually no seats. After Li Xuan's guard hugged a fat man's neck and said a few words intimately, the fat man gave up with a smile. his position.
Following the twisting of the woman's waist, there was a burst of applause from the audience from time to time. No matter whether it was a tall man or a gentle talent, they all looked at the stage without blinking, as if they wanted to see Sha The clothes are the same. Others stared at people's navels and drooled, and Li Yi even saw a guy in the corner with his hands in his crotch, wondering what he was doing...
They're all a bunch of worthless guys, and they've been teased like this by showing their navel and twisting them casually. Have you ever seen a striptease or a pole dance? Although he hasn't seen it himself, his vision is ahead of them. For more than a thousand years, it has not been so unbearable.
At this time, he was concentrating on the delicious food in front of him. I have to say that the dishes here also have merits. Aside from those bells and whistles, the taste is actually not very good. I don’t know what kind of side dish is mixed with it, it’s delicious, and it goes very well with rice.
"Pfft, young master, look at him, he looks like he hasn't eaten for several days..."
A chuckle came from the side, Li Yi turned his head and saw two young masters sitting there.
At this time, one of the younger ones was pointing at Li Yi with his finger, and his smiling eyes could barely open.
Inwardly, he groaned inwardly, and turned his head away from looking again.
A big man, he actually covered his mouth when he laughed, maybe he has some special habit, if he looks at him twice, he won't be able to eat anymore.
"Don't be rude." Seeing another handsome young man gently open his hand, and the big man's gesture was full of coquettishness, Li Yi felt even more chilled, and moved a little to the side involuntarily, so as not to The appetite was affected by the two pseudo-mothers.
