Chapter 4 There is a lot of jargon in the wind and moon place
From the Forbidden City, there is a road called Taiping Street. We head west through half of Yingtian Prefecture, and then we arrive at the most famous red light district of Yingtian Prefecture, Qinhuai River!
During the Hongwu period, Daxing Jiaofangsi made the tertiary industry, which had always been in the combination of public and private, completely turned into an official business. The chief president of the tertiary industry was Emperor Ming Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang was an orderly person. When the Ming Dynasty was established, he established various systems, hoping that the descendants of the future generations could abide by these systems, hoping that the Ming Dynasty could last forever.
Regarding the dress of the brothel woman, Zhu Yuanzhang, who wanted to arrange for every family in the Ming Dynasty, issued an edict himself: "The Fangsi has a ten thousand-character turtle, a lantern, and a slutch and a slutch. He is not allowed to be with his wife."
What does it mean? It means that entertainment practitioners must wear "Wanzi" headscarf, with a special belt around their waists, and female employees in Jiaofangsi wear horn crowns and aurora vests. They cannot wear the same as those of ordinary people.
So when Zhu Di led Zhu Qi to a street next to the Qinhuai River, looking at the girl wearing a horn crown and aurora-brown vest on the banks, he immediately said in a low voice:
"Brother Third, we're here! Xiaoxiang Pavilion is right in front."
Zhu Qi looked at it and saw the little ladies upstairs walking around, occasionally some of whom had accompanied the guests. Although they were all colorful, they did not stick out half of their bodies with scarves like in the TV series, and used the attack of meat bullets to forcefully attract customers.
At this time, there is no need to attract customers. The brothels in the world are monopolized by Jiaofangsi. The money earned is flowing into Zhu Yuanzhang's pocket. There is no competition, and there is no performance appraisal. Whose family is not going to be involved?
So, as long as this industry forms a monopoly, it is easy to become like this without vitality.
I walked to the door, but there were not a group of little girls around me, hugging me, and Zhu Qi was heartbroken!
If it was like the joint venture between officials and the people in the past, you could do any kind of work.
Zhu Qi was already fifteen years old and was convinced. According to the current saying, he was an adult. As long as he didn't go to the harem, no one would stop him from entering and leaving the Forbidden City. The 14-year-old Zhu Di was naturally due to Zhu Qi's glory.
The two followed five guards and walked to an exquisite building. They saw a black golden nanmu plaque hanging from the top of the red-lacquered gate, with three large characters "Xiaoxiang Pavilion" written on it, and the red pillars on both sides were carved with plaques and jade-built carved railings, just like the golden palace of the jade building.
The madam with half of her shoulders exposed and her vest saw Zhu Qi and Zhu Di, and hurriedly came up to meet him and said with a smile:
"Are you two young men here to listen to music with a good drink or stay in the bureau?"
Zhu Qi straightened his back and looked calm. Although he couldn't understand what the other party was saying, as long as Zhu Di spoke next to him, everything would be fine.
But after waiting for a few breaths, Zhu Qi turned his head and saw Zhu Di straightening his back like him, with a calm face.
A guard behind him saw that his eyesight was good, so he took out four cents of silver from his arms and handed it to the madam, and whispered:
"Don't worry about staying in the bureau, find a few girls to have a flower wine first. This is the money for posting. If it is good, there will naturally be a silver reward."
Nowadays, one qian is one hundred cents, and ten qian is about one tael of silver, and the purchasing power is equivalent to one thousand yuan in Zhu Qi's previous life.
In other words, the guard came up and paid the guard 4,000 yuan for "post money".
The madam collected the money and immediately smiled happily. She led Zhu Qi and her group to walk in. She soon arrived at a private room. After arranging Zhu Qi and Zhu Di to sit down, she laughed and said, "I'll go to the sir right away" and then retreated.
This Xiaoxiang Pavilion is naturally luxuriously decorated and magnificent, but it is still a bit worse than the palace.
The guard also saw that the two princes Zhu Qi and Zhu Di did not understand the jargon in the brothel, and began to explain in a low voice.
When I entered the brothel at this time in the Ming Dynasty, even if I did nothing, I had to pay for it. Most people gave me a "tea circumference", which means sitting in line under the stage. Girls set up tables, pour tea and chat with each other, and ate melon seeds to touch their hands. This is only limited to this.
The girl played sings and sang on the stage, and then she wore a thin gauze dress, seducing the beautiful girls, swaying left and right on the stage and twisting her butt.
If you can't control the situation, you can find a girl to "stay in the bureau" together, which means spending a night, so naturally there will be an additional fee.
If you still want to be more elegant and private, you can "eat flower wine", just change to a special private room to make tea, and the girls just need to serve the people in that room. "Sending a post" is equivalent to a private room fee.
"Shangs" means "Shangs" to the girl.
There are some other insider words, and the guard also said one by one, with clear words and clear ideas, which made Zhu Qi sigh that talents are around him.
"May I have your name?"
Zhu Qi asked to the clever guard.
The other guards cast their eyes of envy, and the guard also looked happy and hurriedly clasped his fists and said:
"Go back to Your Highness, the villain's name is Gao Jin."
"Well, I have recorded it. From now on, I will follow you when I go out."
Zhu Qi nodded and silently wrote down the name. Gao Jin saw that he was a person who was knowledgeable and well-informed. No matter how skill was, he still needed such a person around him who was just quick to do things and speaks easily.
Gao Jin hurriedly lowered his head and said:
"yes."
After saying that, he stood by the side without saying a word, as if he was just talking about another person, and he was very particular.
At this time, the madam returned to the door and shouted in high spirits outside the door:
"Two young men, sir!"
After saying that, the door was gently pushed open and five women with white and tender skin and charming figure walked in with a smile.
These five women have moderate facial features, white skin, and young age. In total, they are the kind of level that they cannot marry without a car or a gift of millions of gifts.
Zhu Di, who was next to him, silently raised his cup and took a sip of tea.
As soon as he saw Zhu Di drinking tea, a woman hurriedly came up and said in a coquettish voice:
"Young Master, you have arrived at our Xiaoxiang Pavilion, so stop drinking tea. I will accompany you to have a drink."
Zhu Di did not refuse the woman to sit beside him, but he still looked a little restrained. He looked at Zhu Qi with an inquiring look and asked:
"Brother Third, do we want to drink?"
Zhu Qi asked:
"You can't drink enough?"
Zhu Di shook his head and said quickly:
"Not this, I'm mainly afraid that I can't control myself after drinking..."
When Zhu Qi heard this, he frowned, and his upright heart suddenly became alert and said to the madam in a deep voice:
"Hurry! Come to your Xiaoxiang Pavilion's strongest wine!"
"Ah, third brother, this is not suitable, right?"
Zhu Di was still hesitating, but Zhu Qi had already explained with a smile:
"What are you afraid of? My drinking capacity of your third brother is that you can't drink a thousand cups. If you are afraid that you can't control yourself, won't you still have me? Then you will definitely hold you down and carry you back."
After Zhu Qi said this, Zhu Di felt relieved.
Zhu Qi was not bragging. In his opinion, the degree of the wine in ancient times was only about ten degrees at most. As long as you don’t touch the wine, that’s nothing.
I had a dinner with my friends in my previous life and I directly had the amount of alcohol used for my liquor. It's a slight silly!
Besides, I have come to Daming entertainment venue to collect folk songs. How can I pick the original flavor without drinking?
I went back and made a distilled liquor, named it Guojiao 1368, and the degree was 80 degrees upwards, occupying the entire liquor market, and from then on, it reached the peak of my life.
Hiss, how do you make distilled wine?
The madam was also unambiguous and immediately went out to carry a porcelain bottle. The girls were already familiar with each other and sat on both sides of Zhu Qi and Zhu Di. There was another girl sitting on the chair opposite everyone, blinking her eyes and discharging electricity to Zhu Qi, and asked:
"Do you two young men want to play the piano or play the flute?"
Zhu Qi said:
"Let's blow first."
The girl nodded with a smile, knelt down, and blew up Xiao for Zhu Qi.
Silk and bamboo, beautiful wine, what is this called? This is called the style of successful people!
"Young Master, thank you for your hard work along the way. Let's drink a little wine to moisten your throat."
A girl came up to Zhu Qi with a wine glass as big as a palm. Zhu Qi looked at it and laughed. Just this is not enough to plug the gap between the teeth.
Without thinking, he picked up the wine glass and drank it.
As the drink fell into his throat, Zhu Qi's eyes widened, his mouth grinned, and his stomach immediately became burnt!
