The sky darkened, and then the city of Jiangning became lively, one after another painted boats, and every house was lit up. The nightlife here is naturally more than just visiting brothels. Take a look at the night view of Qinhuai, taste the pastries and snacks, sit in the teahouse and listen to the stories, but relatively speaking, visiting the brothel is indeed the most fashionable one.
The tense situation inside and outside the city, and the floods that occur every few years, cannot touch this prosperous and extravagant scene. Rich people are still rich people, and in rich places like Jiangning, Yangzhou, and Tokyo, the government's control is still powerful. After a while, even if the city gate is closed, most of the brothels, brothels and fireworks places will still be open as usual, and because the city gate is closed, the prices are higher and the charges are higher, but there are no rich people to go elsewhere. The frequency of coming over will also become higher, and this period of time will be the prime time for such entertainment venues.
When I came to Yancui Building with Li Pin, Su Wengui, Su Wenxing and others, the rest of the people who had made an appointment had already arrived. These were probably also friends of the Su family's disciples, and two of them were not very famous talents. I want to meet Ning Yi and Li Pin. This time, not only Su Wenxing, Su Wengui and Su Wentian from the second bedroom came here, but also Su Wenluo and Su Wenji from the third bedroom. Su Wending, who was close to Su Taner on weekdays, also came. In short, Su Zhongkan greeted him when he saw him. Today, he paid the money to let a group of juniors from the Su family come to play.
As Su Tan'er said, Su Zhongkan is not very sincere, and he must be interested in the position of the head of the family. But it has to be said separately, even so, there is no need for him to do some boring little tricks to Ning Yi right now. The banquet this time is just an idle pen. On the one hand, I bid Li Pin farewell in the name of the Su family. On the other hand, I really want the children in the family to have more contact with Ning Yi and Li Pin. After all, the children in the family are not very good. The talented Su Zhongkan is very clear, if it is to humiliate Ning Yi, it is probably just a slap in the face, not to mention that there is a long-sleeved dancer who will definitely stand on Ning Yi's side. Li Pin is here.
Yancui Building is not as famous as the kind of brothel that often has a few big liners and a few big courtesans. Just like the Jinfeng Building and the Ningyu Building where Qilan is located, these famous buildings are the first echelon of Jiangning's brothel, Yancui Building. Even the best category in the second echelon. The ranking is barely able to make it into the top ten in Jiangning, and the service and entertainment are actually quite thoughtful, but it may not be as elegant as Jinfeng and Ningyu, and it is purely a brand effect.
For example, if the prefect of Jiangning or the concubine Kangxian, etc., said to go to Yancuilou, it would be shameless. However, many wealthy businessmen usually like to come here to cheer. Of course, literati also came. Many people did not pay much attention to it, but not many came. After all, this place is not the first choice.
Everyone came all the way today, but no one opened his mouth to talk about poetry essays. People such as Su Wenxing, Su Wending and others also like to be talented people on weekdays, but they also have self-knowledge at this time. Ning Yi and Li Pin are both there, and it is not easy for the famous talents in Jiangning City to show their ugliness in front of them. Before, when Chen Jiwen encountered Ning Yi who did not dare to write a poem, why bother to talk about himself. thing. These people belong to the big house, the second house and the third house, and there may be some frictions in the middle of the week.
Take advantage of one's own strengths and attack the other's weaknesses. At this time, the art of war was quite harmonious. Su Wenxing, Su Wengui, and Su Wenji were all trying to manage a store at home. Along the way, Su Wenji and Ning Yi had a good chat. This kid is known as the little Mengchang of the Su family. Ning Yi thought it was quite interesting. It was good to have strengths in interpersonal relationships, but those who could really manage people must also have the ability to weigh and restrain talents. This aspect is probably the weakness.
These abilities need to be cultivated for a long time, and are also related to their own qualifications and later education. To use a talent with 100% ability, they must have at least 60% ability. It's not that it can't be cultivated, but Ning Yi naturally doesn't need to say anything about such things. On the way, listening to Su Wenji talking about this experience and some anecdotes in the shopping mall, Ning Yi naturally smiled and nodded to show that he was taught. Su Wenji was even more happy in his heart. It was rare to be able to show off in front of Ning Yi and the others, and of course he went further.
Occasionally, Su Wenxing and Su Wengui would also speak up: "Liheng, you don't understand business matters, don't listen to his nonsense, he's bluffing you, this guy Wen Ji doesn't know the problem at all about the business in Taihu Lake. Where is it?"
"Who said I didn't know!"
"You just listen to the nonsense of your shopkeeper. What do you believe in what they say..."
"I can at least tell what makes sense!"
The two sides inevitably quarreled, and Ning Yi and Li Pin on the carriage watched it interestingly. After a while, they came over and said to Ning Yi, "Why don't you go back and ask the second sister at night and see what she has to say... hum."
Although Su Tan'er is a woman, and everyone is fighting openly and secretly about the family property at this time, but honestly, no one will deny Su Tan'er's business talent. As for Ning Yi, he may be a great genius, but he naturally doesn't understand anything about doing business. Both Su Zhongkan and Su Yunfang have probably told these children what was the reason for letting Ning Yi join the family in the first place, but Xi Junyu was defeated because he was too business-oriented, there is no doubt about that.
So they showed off their experience in the shopping mall all the way. When these people tried hard to show the wonderful shopping mall to Ning Yi and Li Pin, and showed their excellence, everyone also got out of the car and met several people at the door. Meet up with invited friends. Su Wenxing entered Yancui Building first, but after a while, he met an acquaintance in front of him.
When the main force entered the gate of Yancui Building, they had already seen Su Wenxing and Xue Jin of the Xue family taunting each other there. Next to Xue Jin was his elder brother, Xue Yan of the younger generation of the Xue family. It is said that this is the future of the Xue family. The owner of the house, and some friends and guests also gathered when they saw more than a dozen people suddenly come in from the Su family. Seeing that the situation was not good, Yancuilou's mother and Guinu hurried over to say good things and settle things.
Qinglou Chuguan is easy to get angry because of jealousy, but at this time it was just a few quarrels, and everyone has their own identities, so it's not really a quarrel. Both sides looked interesting, but when Xue Jin saw Ning Yi, his face was a little bad. After "Taoist recited two poems", he basically didn't dare to write poems, and always felt that he was being mocked. At this time, there was a lot of noise on both sides. Xue Yan, Su Wengui and others smiled and said hello. Mother intervened in the middle. Xue Jin and Su Wenxing taunted a few words, still thinking about Ning Yi's words. Instead, he greeted someone on the opposite side.
"Brother Qingdi, you are here too."
"Brother Dexin, it's a pleasure to meet you."
There is also a talented man named Liu Qingdi, who is also famous as Li Pin, Cao Guan and others. After greeting him, Xue Jin also raised his head and introduced: "This is my brother's friend, Liu Yan and Liu Qingdi. Here is a long look, Xue Jin stared at Ning Yi, Ning Yi turned to look at the layout of the brothel.
There were only Xue Jin and Su Wenxing just now, and it was just a quarrel and anger. At this time, when there were many people, it seemed a little harmonious. Greeting each other a few words, and the honey belly sword secretly satirizes a few words. Xue Yan smiled and said: "The special feature of Yancui Building is that it is comfortable to sit in the lobby. We are watching the performance in the lobby today. How are you all?"
Here Su Wengui smiled and said, "Brother Xue's eyes are on Jiang Ning, who knows. Since Brother Xue is here tonight, we will naturally sit in the lobby... Let's go to the second floor."
Generally speaking, the structure of the first and second floors of the outer building of the brothel is similar. It basically revolves around the front stage like a theater. There are also private rooms here. Under the circumstances, it is naturally impossible to do too much for the accompanying women. No one comes here to watch a play or anything. If you really want to act like a prostitute and develop further, you still have to change rooms. Ning Yi followed him upstairs, turned his head and asked Channel Li, "How are these guys going to be jealous?"
Li Pin laughed: "The performances in the outer hall of Yancuilou are also quite a lot of effort. For example, popular women such as Lu Xia are sometimes not invited in advance. They perform in the outer hall. A glass of wine, and then I will enter the inner hall to accompany you. Oh, a glass of wine ordered by the public, this matter is quite a face, businessmen, talents, everyone is good, and they all like this kind of plot to win the beauties by various means. "
Ning Yi nodded: "Speaking of which, if you want to see someone, you probably still have to spend money."
"It's natural." Li Pin smiled, "Of course it's not just that simple. For example, if you are a good old friend, or if you can write a good poem for her, she will naturally come over to toast you. In short It’s nothing more than such a number of ways, if you want to be in the limelight, you have to work hard.”
"Oh, is Brother Li going to write a song to win the beauty back later?"
"It's a bit difficult, that Liu Qingdi's poetic talent is not inferior to mine, not to mention Xue Yan's expressions, they are clearly regulars here, they're sure to win. Of course, your brothers probably know this too. So I have confidence because I see you and I are both here. If it's just me writing poems later, even if I lose, Lu Xia will have to come up to say hello, but if Liheng, you also write the first one. The name of a talented person and a ghost, plus your brothers' silver bullet offensive, the outcome of this matter is really unknown."
"Oh, it's very nice anyway..."
"Haha, just for the sake of face..."
When they walked to the private room on the second floor where they could watch the performance, the two laughed. In fact, Li Pin is still quite interested in this kind of thing. Even if Ning Yi doesn't write it, he will probably write the previous one to take on Liu Qingdi's challenge. Ning Yi looked back and saw that in the lobby below, the scholar named Liu Qingdi seemed to be looking over here, smiling and waving his hand in a very friendly manner. However, Ning Yi's gaze passed, because suddenly, the scene of a room window on the side of the stage attracted him.
The window of the room didn't seem to be eye-catching, because it was on the side of the stage, and it was probably not a place for banquets. Ning Yi would notice that it was because the mother who had just tried to persuade was going in there at this time, and then... Ning Yi saw it. The face that appeared there was actually Nie Yunzhu.
This woman didn't know how long she watched in that room. At this time, Ning Yi's eyes looked over, she suddenly laughed and waved her hand gently. When Ning Yi also smiled and waved, another figure appeared from the side of the window. When she came out, it was also a woman. She looked at Nie Yunzhu's expression with some curiosity, and then searched the hall for acquaintances. When she saw Ning Yi, her eyes blinked and her whole face wrinkled. This is Yuan Jin'er.
Feeling, these two guys came over to sell preserved eggs...
As she was thinking, that Yuan Jin'er didn't know what to say, Nie Yunzhu glared at her angrily with a smile, and spoke in defense. Afterwards, the two of them were fighting, and Yuan Jin'er pushed Nie Yunzhu away from the window. A second later, she leaned back again, stuck her tongue out at Ning Yi and made a face, as if she had taken over her sister Yunzhu, and slammed the window shut.
Ning Yi laughed funny...
