The first month has not yet come out, and the night view of Chang'an City is still dazzlingly beautiful. The red lanterns hanging at the door of each house are dazzling. Standing on the street and looking around, the lanterns on both sides of the street form two red dragons. It didn't take long for the genius to get dark, and children in new clothes were laughing and playing in the street wantonly. According to the customs of the Sui Dynasty, no matter how children play in the first month, they will not be scolded by adults.
Walking on the street, you can often see women stuffing candies into the arms of children they don't know. But there is no need to worry that this is a human trafficker with evil intentions, although occasionally children are abducted and trafficked. But because the Sui Dynasty advocated filial piety and benevolence and the court's heavy code, such crimes that everyone despised rarely happened.
If you have many children, you can adopt them to others to raise them. If the two parties negotiate well, they can also spend money to buy the child. But it must be reported to the government, and the government servants will check the life of the bought child from time to time. If there is abuse, the government will force the child back to the biological parents, and the adoptive parents will be punished severely. If you go to prison, you will be sent to the frontier.
For those who steal and sell children, the government has always had only one punishment, and that is to kill without mercy.
Children with fireworks and candies in their hands ran back and forth freely on the street, lighting a firecracker from time to time and throwing it on the ground. The adults who were taken aback would not scold angrily, because it was in the minds of the people of the Sui Dynasty. The first month was originally a time for children to play wildly, but the holiday of Tai Sui Academy will be put down after the second day of February, and children can play wildly for a whole month.
The reason why it is the second day of February is because this day is the day when the dragon raises its head. In the Sui Dynasty, people regarded the second day of February as the departure of winter and the arrival of spring. The Dragon King, the god of rain who has been sleeping for a whole winter, will wake up and send the first spring rain that is as expensive as oil to the earth.
Of course, this is just a custom.
In fact, according to the records of the Qingyu Department of the Sui Astronomical Observatory over the years, only the second day of February in the fifteenth year of Shenzong had rain.
The shops were all open, and the smell of wine and meat from the restaurants wafted out into the noses of the passing people. Standing at the door, the waiter, who was neatly dressed in new clothes, warmly greeted the coming and going customers. If the business was good, they would get more money, so they were naturally happy.
Opposite this restaurant is Xinyuelou, one of the most famous brothels in Chang'an City. The reputation of this building is second only to the two brothels under the name of Wu Yidao, the richest man in the Sui Dynasty, and it can be regarded as a gold-lettered signboard in Chang'an City. Although the business of Hongxiu Zhao has made all the brothel business a lot colder, but this first month, even the most stingy Chang'an men will not be stingy with the pocket money in their hands, so the business of Xinyuelou is particularly prosperous.
Red sleeve tricks have the beauty of red sleeve tricks, and brothels have the allure of brothels.
It's not a shame for men to visit brothels in Chang'an City, unless the woman is too fierce. Standing at the gate of the Crescent Tower were four young servants in green clothes and soap boots, all of whom were young men with delicate features. The nobles of those aristocratic families have good masculinity, and the value of these servants is sometimes not lower than that of the red girl.
Fang Jie, who specially changed into brocade clothes, walked to the entrance of Xinyue Tower, and took a careful look at the four servants. I found that their standing posture was very stable, and I guess they had learned some superficial boxing skills. Before he came, he had already seen the terrain around the Crescent Tower clearly, and it was already his inherent habit to find a way out.
Fang Jie in this kind of place is not afraid of meeting some acquaintances, those adults who are really famous are afraid to show their faces. Even if they came to the brothel, they walked in quickly, and went directly to the girl they liked, anxious to Wushan Yunyu. After all, they are all dignified people. If they were played by those hard-spoken censors in the imperial censor platform in front of civil and military officials, even if the emperor just reprimanded them, they would not be able to get off the stage.
Moreover, Fang Jie changed his appearance a little bit. The mustache that Shen Qingfan carefully glued on under his nose was very realistic. It made him look a lot more mature, and the slightly tacky brocade jacket on his body was stuffed with stuff, which made his figure look a little fatter.
The boy at the door greeted Fang Jie enthusiastically, and asked if there was any girl he knew. Fang Jie smiled and shook his head, and generously rewarded some loose silver. The servant who got the money worked even harder, leading Fang Xie in, and introducing the beautiful maidens in the building who loved flowers every time they saw them. Fang Jie pretended to be absorbed in listening, and looked around to see if there was anyone he knew.
"Young master, it's probably the first time you've come to our Xinyue building, and I don't know what type of girl you like. Is it lively or gentle? The girls in our building not only come from Jiangnan, but also come from A foreign race from the Western Regions. If you are willing to spend more money, you can still have peerless beauties from the Beiliao people serving you."
The young man said while pointing to the upstairs: "Your status is noble, why don't you go upstairs to find a private room and then slowly choose girls? I will ask my mother to lead the girls to the private room to meet you, and whoever is selected will be fine." Stay here to serve you. I'm not bragging. All the girls in our building are very capable. They are proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. They are very elegant in reciting poems and playing flute. If you want to listen to music, you can also come to me at your fingertips .”
Fang Jie nodded and said, "Okay, you can lead the way upstairs."
The young man knew that he had attracted another benefactor, so he quickly led him up to the second floor, and yelled in a clear voice as he went upstairs: "Your guest, listen to Yuxuan, mother welcomes you!"
This is the first time that Fang Jie has entered a brothel, whether in his previous life or this life. In his previous life, he always yearned to enter this kind of place but didn't have the guts. Now that he finally walks in, Fang Xie always feels a little strange. Perhaps it was the thinking of the previous life that made him feel like a thief in his heart.
The second floor is full of private rooms, and the sound of singing and laughing can be heard from the door from time to time when passing by. Fang Jie listened carefully to see if there were any familiar voices.
Just when he was paying attention to these things, the boy in front stopped: "Master, this is Ting Yuxuan, please come in."
…
…
Pushing open the door and entering, Fang Xie found that the layout of the room was very elegant without any kitsch. There are clothes racks and washbasin racks at the entrance, where guests take off their robes and wash their hands. There was a fire in the room, and the temperature was right. In order not to let the guests feel that the smell of charcoal fire in the room is too strong, sandalwood is specially ordered.
Fang Jie didn't take off his robe, because there were still things hidden inside.
He strolled inside and found that the space behind the screen was not very large. An exquisite mahogany bed, a table and two chairs, and nothing else. The landscape painting hanging on the wall is obviously a copy, and the painting style is a little rough.
Fang Jiexin said that it was no wonder that when passing by the door, the voices of the people inside could be heard. It turns out that the layout of each room is so small.
He just sat down when the hot dressed old bustard walked in with a smile. Hush and warm, as if Fang Jie is a relative she hasn't seen for many years. Fang Jie was a little uncomfortable with this attitude, but deliberately looked relaxed. The old bustards are people with extremely poisonous eyes, so it is natural to see that this handsome young man with a mustache must not come to this kind of place often.
She smiled coquettishly and said a few polite words, then stuck to Fang Jie's shoulder and asked, "Sir, give me a general direction, so I can choose a suitable girl for you."
"Do you have… "
Fang Jie thought for a while, then lowered his voice and said, "Pure and well-behaved? She can do whatever I say. She's better if she has a slim figure. That... it's better not to have big breasts, you understand?"
He found that he really wasn't suitable for this kind of place, he was obviously acting, but when he said these words, his voice trembled slightly, as if he was guilty of guilt. The madam likes this kind of slightly shy guests the most. Generally speaking, this kind of customers don't have any excessive demands, and they are generous.
The old bustard covered her mouth and said with a coquettish smile: "Master, you really know how to enjoy yourself. I understand what you mean. You are just looking for tender ones, right? If you are willing to pay a good price, there are still a few beautiful and delicate ones in the building who are not open yet. A budding young lady. At fourteen or fifteen years old, it is a good time to be like a bud. The body is delicate and soft, and the most ecstasy."
Fang Jie wanted to refuse at first, the purpose of visiting the brothel was to do business, if he harmed another young girl who hadn't bloomed, wouldn't it be a crime. But after thinking about it, even if he didn't do this, who knew that girl would be taken advantage of by that rude and barbaric guy. And if he refuses, it's obvious that the play is a bit fake.
"That's fine, let mom arrange it."
Fang Jie took out a bank note from his cuff and handed it over. The bustard lowered his head to see that the amount on the bank note was satisfactory, then turned around with a few polite words, and ordered someone to bring some rare fruits and some delicate snacks. . These fruits are not from the local area, they should have been trafficked from the sea by merchants from Eastern Chu. Ordinary people are reluctant to buy and eat. The price of a plate of fruit is enough to feed a family for half a month.
After the bustard went out, Fang Xie felt a little more at ease. The conversation before was actually more tiring than Prince He Yi's fighting. He couldn't help laughing at himself, and said to himself that he had been in this world for almost seventeen years, how could he still be so uncomfortable. He remembered Shen Qingfan's teasing eyes before, and his face flushed slightly. Xin said that even Shen Qingfan could see that he was timid, and that he really failed in this respect.
He pinched a piece of fruit and put it in his mouth. He knew that this thing was called a musk fruit, and it was about the size of a grape, but he had never seen it in his previous life. It is fragrant and fragrant, and if it is well preserved, it can even be stored for several months without spoiling. The taste is slightly sweet but not greasy. Because of its special aroma, it is called musk fruit by Sui people.
After putting two into his mouth, the bustard led a little girl with reddish cheeks into the room with a smile.
"Hurry up, I have met the young master. He is your benefactor tonight. You should take good care of him. If the young master is kind, your first experience will be easier, and maybe you will be comfortable again. If you are not good at serving, You have to suffer for being rude, young master."
The little girl looked fifteen or sixteen years old, about the same age as Wu Yinyu. She is petite and only reaches Fang Jie's shoulders. It looks a little thin and thin, but the thin but round shoulders make people like it, especially the slender waist is really full of grip. Although the breasts are not too small, they are only like steamed buns, barely holding up the clothes. Because she is thinner, her buttocks are not as plump and round as the woman's. But it looks very tasteful, it is this kind of slightly green that is the most lovable.
She lowered her head, not daring to look into Fang Xie's eyes, blushing and humming to Fang Xie. With willow-leaf curved eyebrows, big eyes, slightly pointed chin, and a straight nose, she is indeed a beauty.
The old bustard said that the young man should be more sympathetic to our girl, but don't let the girl faint from the pain, and then left with a smile. Before going out, he did not forget to give Fang Jie a wink.
As soon as the old bustard left, Fang Jie seemed even more cramped than the young lady. He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say, so he smiled awkwardly.
Although this young man is young, he has been trained in the Crescent Building for many years. Naturally, he could tell at a glance that Fang Jie was not that kind of villain, so he was a little relieved. Those like them were sold into brothels when they were very young, and they were specially kept because of their beautiful appearance. They were taught piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and how to please men, so that they could be sold for a good price when they grew up. She knew that she would not be able to pass this test sooner or later, she just hoped that she would meet a gentler man for the first time.
Seeing Fang Jie's delicate features, he seemed even more shy than her. She knew that she was lucky, if she met someone with a rough personality, she might have come up to tear her clothes at this time.
"Why don't I sing a song for you first?"
The little girl hesitated and asked.
Fang Jie, who was already at a loss, nodded immediately when he heard this sentence: "It's okay...then let's sing a song first."
He subconsciously wiped the sweat from his forehead, and his back was also wet.
"It's so hot in this room..."
He said something embarrassingly.
"hot?"
The little girl has been specially trained for so many years, and she knows the hints in the words of many guests. Generally speaking, when it comes to heat, it is time to get down to business. She thought to herself that this person was so strange, and then she said that she couldn't help being impatient after listening to Qu'er? So she blushed and moved forward a few steps, knelt down in front of Fang Jie and said softly, "Then I will undress you first..."
"ah!"
Fang Jie's face turned pale with fright, and he jumped up in fright.
"Isn't it a rap song? Why are you taking off your clothes again?"
