There was only one young gentleman sitting at this table, and three seats were vacant, but in places like brothels, it is not common to share tables.
There were two men in green clothes standing behind the young master. Seeing this, they frowned and took a step forward. Just as they were about to speak, the young man waved his hand at them, then turned around and said with a smile, "Why not?"
"Thank you!" Li Xuan cupped his hands to him, and after sitting down, he looked back at him and said, "Thank you, brother, this meal is mine!"
"Then it's time to say thank you..." The young man smiled, raised the wine glass in front of him, and gestured to the two of them.
Li Yi looked around and found that even the layout here was similar to the Qunyu Courtyard in Qing'an Mansion. It didn't feel special when he was in Qing'an Mansion, but now it looks very friendly.
When I looked to the side, I realized something was missing, and asked doubtfully, "Where is Lao Fang?"
When he went out just now, Lao Fang followed him all the time, why did he disappear in the blink of an eye
One of Li Xuan's guards also said suspiciously: "The one who was here just now..."
"Forget it." Li Yi waved his hand, he can't lose it even though he's such an adult, don't look at his honest face, but he's as smart as a ghost in his heart, maybe he should find an old friend of his.
Places like brothels and brothels are actually rarely relocated, especially if they move hundreds of miles away, it is even rarer.
Having gained fame in a certain place, the girls in the building also have regular patrons. Changing another place means starting a new business and starting anew. No one knows what the result will be. Not all procuresses have such courage.
However, Qunyuyuan is different.
"If you don't meet in Qunyuyuan, you will meet in Yaotai under the moon." When these two lines of poems spread throughout Jingguo with the reputation of Luoshui Goddess, a brothel named Qunyuyuan in Qing'an Mansion also frequently appeared. Appeared in the ears of everyone.
The brothel was originally a place where talented scholars and literati hang out. If there is anything more famous than a classic poem that everyone is eager to sing, it will be more than a dozen.
When it was discovered that Qunyuyuan was already popular in Jingguo, the old bustard of Qunyuyuan decisively formulated the next three-year plan, that is, within three years, Qunyuyuan should become one of the most famous buildings in the capital.
This is a dream she had when she was still able to pick up customers on the platform. One day, she will show those so-called oirans who look down on her that my mother's skills are not limited to her bed!
In addition to other regular services and facilities, a spacious and bright room is specially opened in the building. There are portraits of the goddess of Luoshui posted in the room, including but not limited to "Fu of Luoshen" and "Qingping Diao" to praise the goddess of Luoshui. , Poems that have long been circulated among literati and officials for people to watch.
Of course, the madam tried so hard to get the original manuscript of the poem - he couldn't buy it from Zeng Zuimo. Even so, the price she paid made her feel distressed.
For this reason, the old bustard didn't murmur behind that unconscionable goddess.
Strange to say, since those things were posted, some inexplicable people stopped in front of those rubbings every day, and it seemed like a whole day, neither eating nor drinking, and not letting the girls accompany them...
Although these people have seriously affected the order of the brothel, they are generous. Even if she offered a price of ten taels of silver, the other party would just throw out the money bag without even looking at her. Their eyes seemed to grow on the wall. .
As time goes by, the old bustard just let them go, as long as they give money, they can watch it for as long as they want...
"Who is the Goddess of Luoshui?" Li Xuan heard this name no less than ten times in the short quarter of an hour since he stepped into the Qunyu Academy, and asked suspiciously: "When did the Qunyu Academy have a goddess of Luoshui?" gone?"
When the title of Goddess of Luoshui was first added to Zeng Zuimo, Li Xuan was no longer in Qing'an Mansion. Although her fame spread to Kyoto later, it was not as influential as in Qing'an Mansion. Therefore, the name of Goddess of Luoshui This is the first time Li Xuan has heard of the name.
The young master on the opposite side asked with a little surprise: "Brother seems to be quite familiar with this group of jade courtyards, but why doesn't he know the Goddess of Luoshui?"
"No." Li Xuan shook his head, and said: "What Luoshui Goddess, is it the new top card of the Qunyu Academy, where is the drunken girl?"
When Li Xuan said the second half of his sentence, he looked at Li Yi.
"Redemption." Li Yi said casually.
"What?" Li Xuan was taken aback, and even stood up directly from his seat, and said, "Who redeemed it, you redeemed it? Your wife agrees? Your second lady agrees? No, it's not at your house either. Seeing her, could it be that you secretly redeemed her and raised her in Qing'an Mansion? That's not right, didn't your family go back a while ago, you probably don't have the guts... "
The young man on the opposite side was slightly stunned, thinking that since the person on the opposite side knew the girl Zui Mo, he didn't know that she was the Goddess of Luoshui. It was really strange, and he was even more confused about what he just said.
Li Yi buried his head in his food and occasionally glanced at the dancing posture of the young woman on the stage. At this time, ignoring Li Xuan was the right choice.
Seeing Li Yi's silent and dejected look, Li Xuan seemed to have thought of something, sighed, and said: "When I was in Qing'an Mansion, I said that you should have acted earlier. It's always difficult for women to open their mouths about this kind of thing, and the girl Zuimo looks weak, but her temper is actually very strong... Now it's all right, it's too late to regret it..."
"She redeemed herself." Li Yi finally couldn't take it anymore, put down his chopsticks, and explained.
"Ah, you redeemed it yourself?" The expression on Li Xuan's face was stunned, preconceived that the woman in the brothel must be redeemed by someone to take back the house, and she was still feeling sorry for Li Yi, when she heard this sentence suddenly , A lot of comforting words were swallowed back.
A little surprise appeared on the young man's face. He had been in the capital for several months, and he had heard the name of the Goddess of Luoshui many times. However, although this group of jade courtyards became famous because of the Goddess of Luoshui, no one had ever seen her. The legendary woman, listening to the words of the two nobles in front of her, they seem to know her and have a close relationship with her.
Crash!
Li Xuan was about to ask for more details when a girl who was serving dishes in front of her tripped accidentally, and the tray in her hand came out, and then there was a sound of shattering dishes.
There was a guest who was caught on his head by a dish, and his whole body was covered with juice. He was in a mess, and even the young man sitting across from them had some vegetable juice on his body.
"Xiao Hong, you are a dead girl, you can't watch the way with your feet, hurry up and apologize to the guests!" A brothel manager immediately came over and reprimanded loudly.
"Damn, court death!"
The unfortunate man who got caught was stunned for a moment, realized what had happened, and immediately jumped up from his seat. He didn't pay attention to what the steward said just now, looked at the girl standing there at a loss, cursed, and slapped her He slapped her face hard.
A trace of panic flashed across the face of the girl named Xiaohong, but she didn't dodge it, she just closed her eyes tightly.
The man's slap did not fall on the girl's face in the end, a young man grabbed his wrist, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't slap it down.
