Modern people who traveled through the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 105

Zhao Han was looking forward to what the ancient brothel would look like.But when he came to the brothel, Zhao Han was a little disappointed.

Now Zhao Han has the urge to turn around and go back, but seeing that Li Chengqian has also come down, Zhao Han didn't take his face off, so he just came here for a tour, and he can go in and have a look, anyway, he has nothing to do.

Li Chengqian got off the sedan chair, and said to Zhao Han: "How is brother-in-law? This is your first time? Come on, I'll take you in and have fun."

Li Chengqian pulled Zhao Han and walked inside. As soon as he reached the door, a woman in her 30s came out. The fan made Zhao Han feel like vomiting.

The old bustard twisted her bucket waist, ran quickly to Li Chengqian, and said obsequiously: "Oh, you haven't come for a long time, prince, please come inside, the prince and the others are already waiting."

After finishing speaking, the old bustard approached Li Chengqian and whispered: "Prince, we have a girl who came to Zuihonglou recently. You are absolutely satisfied with her beauty. I never let her come out to meet guests. I just wait for you to come and see, Prince." .”

Li Chengqian saw that the old bustard was so good at doing things, he nodded in satisfaction, then turned to the little eunuch beside him and said, "Give the old bustard 50 taels of silver."

When the old bustard heard that the prince wanted to reward her, she smiled, and the powder that she put on fell down. Zhao Han's stomach churned, and Zhao Han suppressed his urge to vomit. Because Li Chengqian pulled Zhao Han, the bustard didn't treat Zhao Han as a real person.

The old bustard asked Zhao Han with a smile on his face: "I wonder which house this young master is from? The redeemer's family has poor eyesight."

Zhao Han's stomach is still hurting now, so he doesn't have time to answer her, even if he did, Zhao Han doesn't want to talk to her, because his face is too ugly.

Seeing that Zhao Han did not speak, Li Chengqian thought that Zhao Han was embarrassed to come here for the first time, so Li Chengqian replied for Zhao Han: "This is Uncle Lan Tian, ​​and he is also the son-in-law who was just recruited by my father. Entertain my brother-in-law, as long as my brother-in-law is satisfied, the crown prince will definitely not miss your reward."

The bustard heard that this is the mysterious son-in-law from Chang'an recently?The old bustard looked at Zhao Han carefully, then smiled and said to Zhao Han: "It turns out that the son-in-law is here. It's really an honor for the servants. Please come in, both of you."

The old bustard dragged Zhao Han and Li Chengqian into the drunk red building, and then ordered the maid beside her to let Qing'er come out to pick up the guests, saying that the crown prince was here. The old bustard looked around when Zhao Han came in, but Li Chengqian didn't pay attention to himself, and the old bustard approached. The maid whispered in her ear: "Go and tell Qing'er, if she doesn't come to pick up the guests today, my old lady will make her never see her father and brother."

The servant girl heard what the old bustard said, and ran to the backyard quickly, fearing that she would be punished for being late, and Zhao Han also heard what the old bustard said. Although Zhao Han looked around as soon as he entered the drunken red building, since he practiced internal strength, his senses were stronger than usual. The improvement was more than ten times. Although the old bustard didn't speak loudly, he also heard her orders to the maid. Zhao Han thought, wouldn't he be able to see the ancient prostitutes as soon as he came?
But Zhao Han didn't say anything more. There were too many things like this in ancient times, and I couldn't manage them. In ancient times, the status of a woman was sometimes not as expensive as a cow. Even if she was a princess, she couldn't escape this fate. It was still a bargaining chip used by the emperor to fight for his interests, so Zhao Han didn't intend to meddle in his own business.

The old bustard brought Zhao Han and Li Chengqian to the door of a box on the second floor. The old bustard smiled at Li Chengqian: "The prince, the prince and the others are waiting for you inside. The slaves will not go in. The slaves will tell the kitchen I'll serve you good wine and good food, if you have any orders, the crown prince, just let the servants come over and call the slave's house, I hope the crown prince and the son-in-law will have a good time."

The old bustard backed away after finishing speaking, Li Chengqian pushed the door and walked inside, Zhao Han followed Li Chengqian into the box, and as soon as Zhao Han entered the box, he saw a dozen people inside who looked like scholars, sitting on the table Not sure what you're talking about?And beside them, there was a brothel woman pouring wine for them and interjecting a few words from time to time, and several women were playing the piano and dancing, which was different from the picture Zhao Han thought of.

Zhao Han thought to himself, shouldn't it be a few women hugging the women and laughing, molesting the women in the brothel while drinking?How could this be the case?

Li Chengqian saw Zhao Han's doubts, approached Zhao Han with a smile, and said in Zhao Han's ear: "Brother-in-law, are you thinking that what you see is different from what you imagined? Haha, let me tell you, not everyone on the second floor Those who can enter, the people who come to the second floor are literati and court officials. They come to exchange poems and songs, and those women are also performing arts but not selling themselves. Other things happened to them, and they were all official prostitutes, that is to say, their family members were all officials before, but they were sent out for breaking the law, and the female relatives of officials would be used as official prostitutes, except for those who could be official prostitutes In addition to their beauty, they all know a little bit of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so these literati and officials like to come to this kind of place to discuss literature, how is it? Doesn’t it feel good?”

Zhao Han curled his lips. To put it bluntly, a group of nerds pretended to be aggressive in front of a group of official prostitutes, just to satisfy their own vanity. However, the women on the second floor are much better than those outside, but they are only much stronger. I haven't found a woman who is considered a beauty.

When Li Chengqian explained to Zhao Han, the scholars inside also saw Li Chengqian coming, and there was a son behind him. They thought it was Li Chengqian's new scholar, and they all stood up from their seats to salute Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian waved his hands to everyone and said: "Everyone is here today to exchange piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so you don't need to salute like this. Let me introduce to you. This is Uncle Lan Tian, ​​who was in the fire in Chang'an recently, that is, my brother-in-law. I brought him here today." play."

When everyone heard this, it turned out that this was Uncle Lan Tian, ​​whom everyone in Chang'an was talking about recently. They saluted Zhao Han, but they were not too polite. After all, they also knew that Zhao Han did not learn the ways of Confucius and Mencius, so they were not very interested in Zhao Han.

After everyone was seated, a man in his early twenties said to Li Chengqian: "Prince, you haven't been here for a long time. You must have brought a lot of new poems you created when you came here today? Tell us all, so that we Let's open our eyes."

Li Chengqian was satisfied when he heard that everyone praised him like this, and said to everyone with a smile: "Don't praise me, everyone, it's just my leisure work, just don't laugh at me."
