Taiping Inn

If you follow the original route, you don’t have to pass through Shi'an County, but Li Xuandu made a temporary decision to go to Jianxiu Mountain and then go from Jianxiu Mountain to Longmen Prefecture City, Shi'an County will become a must-pass place.

After passing Shi'an County, it is Longmen Mansion City. With all the plans, there is only about one tenth of a journey left.

The yellow leaves are everywhere in autumn, which makes people feel a little melancholy. At first, the little girl would seize the time to ask Li Xuandu for some questions about her practice, but later she became taciturn when she approached the county town of Shi'an County. The little girl is still young and doesn't know how to hide her emotions. Since Taiping Inn was rescued by Li Xuandu, she has regarded Li Xuandu as her biggest support, half-father and half-brother, now she is about to separate, plus Shen Shuangmei and Yan Feiqing. Leaving, adding a little bit of separation, the little girl could not hide her loss.

Li Xuan saw it all, but he had nothing to say, so he could only let it go and let the little girl slowly adapt to it.

When Li Xuandu arrived in Shi'an County, he found that every inn was full, not to mention accommodation, there was not even a place to stay. Seeing that it was getting dark, the few people were still walking aimlessly on the streets, and they couldn't just sleep on the streets.

Hu Liang took off the "grandmaster" on his waist, placed it horizontally on his shoulders, and then put his hands on the hilt and scabbard respectively, and slowly said, "Old Li, do you know why there are so many people?"

Li Xuan shook his head.

Hu Liang showed a smile that men knew, "Because it will be the day for the courtesan to run for the courtesan."

The so-called courtesan is the leader among brothel women. Just like the selection of people in the world, it is not that you say you are the number one in the world, and you have to be recognized by the world. The same is true for brothel women. It is not enough for any building to evaluate it themselves. At most, it can only be called the "top brand" and cannot be called the courtesan. Many first-class schools need to unite the "top brand" of each company. They all gathered together and selected a woman with both talent and beauty to call her "Courtessy".

Of course, the prostitution industry cannot be compared with the martial arts world. It is impossible to gather all the prostitution women in the world into one place, mostly in the imperial capital, in the south of the Yangtze River, or in Zhongzhou. What Hu Liang said now The election courtesan refers to the courtesan in Zhongzhou.

Li Xuan is not a young man who has just entered the world. Not to mention socializing or not, Louzixingyuan has also been there, so he naturally knows what Hu Liang said and asked, "I remember it was only May and June that he ran for the courtesan. Yes, the latest one should be around the Mid-Autumn Festival, why did it delay it now?”

Hu Liang said, "It seems that something happened to the 'Tianle Taoyuan'. I heard that a fire broke out in April, burning many people to death and destroying many houses. It was not until now that the renovation was completed. , After a while, the annual selection of courtesans has been delayed to the present."

Li Xuan is not a saint. Even if he has never been involved in the dust, he has the curiosity he should have. When he first arrived at the Imperial Capital, he had been with Zhang Baigui. Zhang Baiyue also disguised himself as a man and accompanied him. After coming to the largest courtyard in the Imperial Capital, he was a nobleman who talked and laughed, and had no clothes for him. Even if there is a common man, he is a person like Li Xuandu who possesses extraordinary skills. No matter what the identity of a woman is, she is dressed up in great costumes, like beautiful flowers blooming to the extreme. In those days, the entire courtyard was decorated with lights and colorful colors. I don’t know how much wine I drank, how many poems I recited, or how many flowers I spent The atmosphere of carnival reached its peak.

During those days, the most unhappy one was probably the woman who had married a woman. Not only do you have to lose your own man, but you also have to lose money, because this also involves the selection of the courtesan.

It is actually simple to select a courtesan. No matter how famous it is, it is still among the ninth grade and you have to make money. Since ancient times, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. People in the martial arts world can only be divided into high and low levels, but it is not enough to select the courtesanthemum. As the saying goes, each flower is in his eyes. Some people like peonies, some prefer autumn chrysanthemums, and they cannot be unified. The same is true for talent. , it is difficult to distinguish the superiority, so selecting the courtesan depends on the methods of the various companions. You said that Miss Youbi in Chunbolou is the best, so how much money can you invest in Miss Youbi? It’s okay to replace it with other precious jewelry, but you have a special teacher to estimate the price, which is also called “tow wrapping”.

There is a poem that says: "Wuling is young and scrambled, and I don't know how to count the song of red silk." In the end, if any girl receives the most "scrambled heads", she is the "Courtess" of this year. Those who lose can only admit defeat. After all, it is a contest of real money, so no one can say that anyone is making a fool behind the scenes.

Of course, what should some poor people who are short of money or those who are strong wives in their families want to participate in such a grand event? It's also simple. Talent or famous. One of them is enough. A famous person can just make a tea circumference with the girl. If you are literary, if you can write a poem to praise the girl, you will not only not have to spend money. , and there is also a free gift for the pen. This is to create momentum. Of course, if you are rich, talented, famous, and have a good face, let alone spending money, you may be willing to recommend yourself to the pillow mat.

In the final analysis, fighting for the courtesan is like a woman fighting with a woman, but in fact it is also a man fighting. It depends on the friendship, financial support, and kind guest behind each other. Who can be better and make the woman you like show your face and your own face. There is light on it too.

In previous years, there were also many financial owners who were really angry because of the battle of their will. They started to use money to suppress people with tens of thousands of taels of silver, or even tens of thousands of taels of silver, and they were given overnight. He went out and brought the woman he supported to the courtesan position, which also won praise from all the guests.

Hu Liang is a lively person, and he is always indispensable in this kind of thing. Although he cannot spend a lot of money like some powerful children, when the atmosphere comes, he usually throws out some money. When it is too much, he can get about a few hundred peaceful money. At that time, there were more than a dozen people who went out with real money, and they received the girls' thanks for Mr. Hu.

Is it worth it?

Li Xuan even felt it was not worth it, but Hu Liang felt satisfied.

Li Xuan went to such things once, and after he opened his eyes, he stopped participating. Hu Liang often paid attention to them and participated if he had free time.

Li Xuan has never been to "Tianle Taoyuan", but he has been famous for a long time. It is reasonable to win the selection of courtesans in Zhongzhou from this place.

Hu Liang hung the "grandmaster" back to his waist and lowered his voice, "Old Li, since we have encountered such a good thing, why don't we join in the fun?"

Li Xuandu looked back at the little girl with a confused face beside him and hesitated: "With Shuning, I'm afraid it's not good, right?"

Hu Liang disagreed and said, "What's wrong with it? Didn't the Zhang girl go there too? Besides, this is a selection of courtesans, not a visit to the kilns, but all of them are piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, songs, etc., all of which are elegant. What's wrong with that?”

Li Xuan was still a little hesitant.

Hu Liang then bewitched: "Old Li, people often say that raising a son should be raised in poverty, and raising a daughter should be raised in wealth. A son who is raised in poverty knows that it is hard to come by, so he will not lose his family. A daughter who is raised in wealth has seen the world since he was a child. , when you grow up, you will not be deceived by a man in a few words. So, it is better to let Shuning open his eyes. To see what these so-called literary talents are, they will not be able to grow up. I will be deceived by those scholars with a lot of sluts."

After saying this, Li Xuan was a little moved. In the past four years, he has read some unofficial history notes in his spare time. One of the stories is about the private meeting between the lady in the boudoir and the scholar. Do you want to say that the scholar is outstanding? Not entirely, if it is truly a dragon and a phoenix among people, it will never be so miserable. But the woman has been kept in the boudoir since she was a child. Apart from her father and brother, she has never contacted several men. The one she has most contact with on weekdays is the maid next to her. The scholar first hooked up with the maid and asked for the maid's body. Then he borrowed the maid to steal it into the boudoir, and then he stole it into the lady.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, it is a drama of a talented man and a beautiful woman, but in Li Xuandu's opinion, it is the lady who is ignorant and the scholar who is not good at it. If this matter is a big deal, then the lady will have only two consequences, either marry the scholar. , or it will be dead. No matter how you look at it, it is the scholar who takes advantage of it.

Li Xuan really regarded the little girl as his own girl. He didn't want the little girl to walk around the world in the future and was plotted like this. He looked at her and climbed up the high branches of the Xuannv Sect or came to make a relationship with him. So It is nothing wrong to let the little girl see some human nature earlier.
