(Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, the whole family is reunited, and lovers are finally married!)

"Oh, Lord Liu is here." Chen Man's eyes were sharp and he saw Liu Jun coming with a few in person.

Hu Guang quickly turned his head and looked at it, and he smiled. On the street ahead, a handsome young man with a height of more than six feet, a bee-waisted and ape's arms, thick eyebrows and big eyes strode. He walked very hard and strongly. Every time he stepped forward, his legs and feet seemed to kick hard. Hu Guang even felt that he could hear the sound of the legs and feet breaking out.

"This young master Liu really looks brave and the rumors are true." Hu Guang thought in his heart, and then thought, "The Liu Jun he imagined is indeed like this, a young man who will show his sharpness." Thinking of this, Hu Guang greeted him with a smile and shouted, "Mr. Liu, Hu has been waiting here for a long time."

"Master Hu invited someone to come, I wonder if I can save you?" Liu Jun looked at Hu Guang and said politely. In fact, before coming, Liu Jun had already conducted a survey on Hu Guang. During this period, there were not too many people who invited Liu Jun to have a meal, drink and go to the banquet, and Liu Jun could not agree.

Hu Guang had never heard of the name beforehand, so after receiving the invitation, he became a little curious and sent someone to search carefully. He found that Hu Guang was quite famous. He was actually a foreign manager of the Andong Palace, and he also specialized in the transportation and sales of official salt in one prefecture, one prefecture and eight counties of Qihuang.

Liu Jun searched for the salt business again and had a basic understanding of the business of this industry. After analyzing it, he almost knew what the purpose of Manager Hu was to find him.

Salt was a profitable industry in the late Ming Dynasty, and it was not easy to have anything to do with salt.

Liu Jun did not refuse the invitation and went to the appointment with ease. He is really not short of money now, but he has no source of wealth. If he has a chance, he wants to try it.

"Mr. Liu, Manager Hu, the private room in the elegant hall has been prepared upstairs. Please don't stand here to chat." Chen Man appeared at the right time, and while speaking, he approached Liu Jun a little. Suddenly, a fragrance came to his nose. Liu Jun turned his head and smiled slightly at the beautiful and graceful boss of Hongxiufang, nodded, "Then please let Mrs. Chen lead us in front of us."

Seeing Liu Jun so kind, Chen Man couldn't help but smile like a flower.

Enter the building, go straight to the third floor, and Shen Man takes advantage of several seats.

Liu Jun and Hu Guanghan chatted with each other. Chen Man, as a famous prostitute on the Qinhuai River, was quite good at socializing. He laughed between the two and acted as an introducer and introduced both of them. When introducing Hu Guang, he said that he was the manager of King Andong. When introducing Liu Jun, he added a lot of praise for posthumous titles, and praised Liu Jun very well.

"Mr. Liu, thank you for your appreciation today. You are willing to condescend to the old building to come to the banquet." Chen Man said while pouring tea for Liu Jun.

Liu Jun looked at Chen Man and said with a smile, "Miss Chen is busy with business. I heard that the elegant seats upstairs have to book three days in advance to have a seat. Today, I can have to accompany Mrs. Chen, it is my blessing to me, Mr. Liu."

Liu Jun has no prejudice, especially women like Chen Man, who are actually more of socialite roles, and are even equivalent to entertainment stars in later generations, with high value. According to Liu Jun's understanding, in the Ming Dynasty, there were actually many types of prostitutes.

In general, it can be divided into two categories: geisha and erotica, but it can be divided into five categories. Geisha relies more on art to make a living, that is, those who often watch the arts and do not sell themselves in film and television novels. They mainly rely on skill performances. These prostitutes are versatile, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but more proficient in communication, acting as middle-level referees, and even adjusting the atmosphere at some parties.

Such women often deal with those nobles and celebrities. They are extremely valuable. They choose customers, not customers. It is difficult to get them just because they are rich and powerful. They also have to be talented, famous or even good-looking.

The latter type of prostitute mainly relies on selling her lust. Earlier, prostitutes mostly referred to geishas, ​​while those who sell her lust were mostly called prostitutes.

After subdividing it, it is also divided into palace prostitutes, camp prostitutes, official prostitutes, family prostitutes and civil prostitutes.

Palace prostitutes are specially used to serve the emperor in the palace, camp prostitutes serve the army, official prostitutes belong to the official organization and are controlled by the government, and their freedom is controlled by the government, and it is difficult to get rid of their ancestry and get married. Family prostitutes are privately kept. The most familiar ones generally refer to civil prostitutes.

Chen Man is a folk prostitute, and she is also a relatively famous Yangzhou thin horse in the Ming Dynasty.

The most famous ones in the Ming Dynasty were the Datong Lady in the north and the Yangzhou Skinny Horse in the south of the Yangtze River. The most famous thing about Yangzhou Skinny Horse is the skills. Most of them bought girls with excellent conditions since childhood and trained their skills. In this way, when the girls grow up, they will have all their colors and skills and are extremely valuable.

Concubine Tian, ​​the most beloved by the current emperor Chongzhen, was born in Yangzhou Skinny Horse.

Although Chen Man was not trained since childhood, he had a good foundation and was beautiful, and had learned poetry, painting, piano and chess. After selling himself, he became a gentleman with good sex and art.

Liu Jun even found out that when Chen Man first officially picked up the customer, the night fee was 500 taels of silver. Although she had not worked for too long on the Qinhuai River in Beijing, she made a lot of money because of this. When she was popular, she married as an official concubine and successfully retired. Unfortunately, although the man she married was good, she was too old and had a jealous woman at home. When the official died, she was driven out of the house.

Liu Jun still conducted a careful investigation of the young and beautiful boss who opened a brothel on his territory. Although he was surprised by Chen Man's youthfulness and the story behind it, since there was no threat, Liu Jun let it go.

Speaking of which, this is the first time he has come to Hongxiufang today.

Chen Man liked Liu Jun a little from the bottom of his heart, young and handsome, and kind to others. When talking to him, he didn't have that lustful look in his eyes, nor did he look down on him. "I have to thank Lord Liu for letting me stay here and give me a bite of food. In fact, I always wanted to invite Lord Liu to come here, but it was not easy to disturb me, I was afraid that you would not want to give me a visit."

"Sanniang was joking. You opened a store here, but in fact you helped me. There are thousands of bachelors here, and they still have this demand, otherwise they will always be in trouble, hahaha."

Whether it is a brothel or a casino, Liu Jun did not object. He wanted to open a shop on his territory to make money. He just wanted to follow his rules. His rules were that he could not be too dark. Those who opened brothels could not force good men to become prostitutes, and they had to be hygienic. The girls had to be clean, and in addition, they had to pay him money. In this way, everyone made money. At the same time, so many bachelors and even soldiers in the town had a physical solution, which was clean.

It’s okay to open a casino, but you can’t cheat, you can’t set up a thousand situations, or you can’t put high profits or loans.

In short, as long as you abide by his Liu Jun's rules, everything will be easy.

"Mr. Liu is rarely here to enjoy the glory today, so why do I ask my family to call our two best girls to accompany you?"

"What good girl is there for Mr. Chen to call me here quickly, so you can't neglect Lord Liu." Hu Guang said with a smile.

Liu Jun did not object, and he still understood how to act in social occasions.

Chen Man called two girls, which were her signature here. It turned out that the relationship between the Qinhuai River was found. A northern part of Rouge was the famous Datong woman. It is said that there were three great masters in the north, including the Xuanfu schoolyard, the Datong woman and the city wall of Jizhen. It is said that there were beautiful women in Datong. During the Zhengde period, Emperor Zhu Houzhao all visited and visited privately in private, and even created a non-historical journey to the dragon and phoenix.

Chen Man's top lady Datong is famous in the town and has not been here for a long time, but she is already well-known. Even Liu Jun has heard of it. It is said that this girl had spent a full three hundred taels of silver when she received a customer from Wuchang for the first time. And ten taels of silver every night. And ten taels of silver cannot be just a kiss. You have to queue up first, give gifts first, invite tea first, etc. In short, you have to spend about ten taels before spending the night, and then sleep ten taels a night, at least twenty taels a day. If you want to book her place or ask her out, it will be thirty taels a day, which is amazingly expensive.

This Datong woman was just sixteen, and she wrapped herself in a pair of three-inch golden lotus, and also had a very interesting name, Li Fengjie. It was the one who was caught by the emperor at first sight and forced to tease her. Then her brother asked the general to send troops to come. As a result, the emperor showed his identity and directly attacked the king.

This Li Fengjie is really beautiful, tall and has white skin, especially because she is very good at dressing up. She is not just like those crooked prostitutes who only have white-pink faces, but is really well-dressed, especially the clothes and headwear on her body are quite trendy, and she speaks softly, and she clearly feels that she has a good cultural foundation. It would be strange if such a woman is not popular.

Another Yangzhou thin horse was a bit charming, with an amazingly thin waist. With a snatch, her chest was flat, which was not Liu Jun's favorite, but the look that I felt pity could probably inspire some people to protect. Moreover, this girl played the piano very well and had a great voice. She sang the tunes in a cappella, which was really beautiful, just like the sound of nature. Liu Jun didn't know where Chen Man found such two top brands.

However, Datong's wife has a pair of small feet, and Yangzhou thin horse has flat breasts. Although both are good, Liu Jun only appreciates them, and is not his dish. However, Chen Man, in her twenties, is mature and beautiful, and she is rare without small feet. She speaks funny and likes them more.

Seeing that Liu Jun was easy to speak, Hu Guang's words became a little straightforward and explicit after a while.

"Mr. Liu, it is rumored that there are often people in the women in Datong Prefecture, Shanxi. Today, you can try it yourself."

Decisively Chinese culture, talk about things at the dinner table, and then you will definitely talk dirty words. Liu Jun experienced many such scenes in his previous life, but he was used to becoming natural, "Oh, what's the difference?"

"It is said that there are differences between the two families and the other." Hu Guang laughed very lewdly, looking like you know.

Chen Man felt a little displeased when he saw Hu Guang's words becoming more and more rude. He saw Liu Jun just smiled and did not show a voluptuous look, and he couldn't help but feel more and more favorable to this young man.

Hu Guang continued to say with a gaze there, "I have been to Datong Mansion several times. I have heard of this legend, so I want to test the difference. Unfortunately, I have tried many Datong wives, but they are ordinary and have not encountered any difference. However, since there are all such rumors, I guess there is something happening. There is another one here today, so I'll try it out in person later."

Liu Jun glanced at Li Fengjie sitting aside. This girl was not vulgar and did not stick to her body directly. Instead, she had the style of a lady of a noble family and sat very well. However, Liu Jun couldn't help but look at her three-inch small feet and a pair of pointed bow shoes. When he thought of the deformed small feet inside, he had nothing left.

"When it comes to the overlapping doors, I remembered several couplets, which were about the special features of Datong's wife. It's better to give me the first couplet. Everyone comes to give me the second couplet. If I don't match it, I'll just drink a drink." Hu Guang said with a smile.

Liu Jun sat there, seeing that Hu Guang had never mentioned serious matters, he was calm and did not speak first. Since he wanted to negotiate business and cooperate, a good party who could not stay calm would definitely be at a disadvantage in the negotiations.

"Oh, okay, I'm afraid that everyone here will be more talented than a certain person, and you have to let some of them later."

"I've heard my first couplet, birds sleep in the trees beside the forest!" Hu Guang sent the first couplet.

Before Liu Jun could think about it, Li Fengjie blurted out and answered the second couplet, "The monk knocked on the door under the moon."

And the thin horse in Yangzhou was not showing any weakness at all, and immediately followed, "There is a different world!"

Liu Jun applauded. These two top cards are indeed not simple. This is not only a couplet, but also a secret meaning of the different things that Hu Guang said about the benefits of Datong’s wife. And this couplet, birds sleeping in trees by the forest, monks knocking on the door under the moon, and there is a unique world. This is really a perfect match. Especially the obscure meaning implied by this couplet and the horizontal banner is the most interesting.

"I'm convinced, I accept the punishment for drinking." Liu Jun said with a smile.

"Wait, the third lady didn't meet her, you both have to drink, just now, just have to drink a glass of wine!" Hu Guang said with a big smile.

Chen Man looked at Liu Jun and poured two glasses of wine directly.

Liu Jun was not the kind of person who destroyed the atmosphere, so he took a glass of wine and drank the glass of wine hand in hand.

"Good!" Hu Guang clapped his hands and shouted.

Chen Man put down the wine glass, and half of his face turned red.

"Let's come back, listen, my second door couplet is that there is no way out at the end of the road."

"There is another village with dark willows and flowers!" This time, Yangzhou Shou Chuchu answered first. This was an extremely easy couplet. Seeing that she took the lead, Li Fengjie quickly said the plaque, "It's getting better!"

Liu Jun spread his hands, these people were indeed powerful, and he and Shen Man lost again.

"If you don't drink a cup of wine this time, you have to use a leather cup." Hu Guang laughed.

The so-called leather cup is that Chen Man holds wine in her mouth, and pours mouth-to-mouth into Liu Jun's mouth, which is very erotic and tempting. Liu Jun wanted to refuse, but when he looked at Chen Man, she had no intention of objection, and even had spring in her eyebrows. Liu Jun smiled and nodded.

Chen Man showed a little excitement, but she was afraid that Liu Jun would refuse and dislike her.

Chen Man took the entire cup into his mouth in one mouthful, then came to Liu Jun, lowered his head, and put his tempting red lips like a rose on Liu Jun's lips. The lips met. Liu Jun opened his mouth, and Chen Man also slightly opened his red lips. The wine poured into Liu Jun's mouth with the smell of beauty.

It took a long time for Chen Man to let go of his lips with a little unfulfilled desire.

"Okay, now it's the couplet of the third door. The first couplet is unintentional and comes out of the mountains."

Chen Man glanced at Liu Jun and said the second couplet first, "The bird flew away and knew it would return."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Jun also thought of a plaque and smiled, "The extreme depths!"

"The two are so tacit understanding, Hu admires it." Hu Guang laughed loudly, and Li Fengjie and Chu Chu chuckled together.
Chapter completed!
