Siheyuan: I'm not happy, don't even think about having a good life

Noticing Erniu's embarrassment, Xiaoqing, who wanted to watch the fun, tapped him on the shoulder with her folding fan and said, "Erniu, do you want to go and have some fun? Let Brother Guan pay for it."

Erniu's face flushed, "Mr. Qing, stop joking with me. This is not a place for someone like me to go."

Hong Guan showed a gratified smile and said, "You are a good kid, you are still sober. You should save more money, marry a wife, buy a few acres of land, and live a stable life."

Erniu showed a look of longing, "Master, you are right, you are all good people. I have almost saved enough money. When the time comes, I will go back to the village and marry Xiaohua."

A few people chatted and laughed as they walked to the middle of the street. A six-story building appeared. In Kaifeng, it was similar to the skyscrapers of later generations. Some traces of magic could be seen, making the whole building look magnificent.

"Master, we are here. This is Guangxian Tower. Mei Sanniang is singing in the Peony Hall. You can see that many of the guests who come here are here to listen to Mei Sanniang singing."

Hong Guan nodded, took out a small bag of silver, about fifty taels, and threw it directly to him, "Go home first, don't walk around outside, it's not safe."

Erniu bowed and said, "Thank you, sir. I'll be leaving now. Have fun."

Watching Erniu walk away, Hong Guan also had a folding fan in his hand, and clapped it a few times, "Mr. Bai, Mr. Qing, shall we walk?"

Bai Suzhen was still a little shy, but Xiaoqing was very happy. "Let's go, let's go, I've wanted to see it for a long time."

Hong Guan walked in first, and an old brothel owner came up to him. She saw that Hong Guan was dressed in black. The fabric was something she had never seen before, but it looked very expensive.

Looking at the two people behind him, they were obviously women. With a quick turn of his eyes, he understood that they were probably young men from some family who came to try something new.

"Hey, please come in, gentlemen. We don't look familiar. What would you like to play?"

Hong Guan flipped his hand and there was an extra fifty taels of silver in his hand. He casually threw it to the madam and said, "Take me to the Peony Hall. I heard that Mei Sanniang will sing today. It's a good opportunity to broaden my horizons."

But the madam looked at the silver in her hand and revealed an embarrassment. "Sir, there are indeed seats available in the Peony Hall, but if you want to find a good seat, I'm afraid your silver is not enough!"

Hong Guan touched his nose awkwardly, he had forgotten about this, this was a place where gold was spent, fifty taels of silver was indeed a lot of money.

He opened his palm and handed over a five-hundred-liang silver note. "Is that enough this time?"

The madam took the banknote, checked the anti-counterfeiting mark, and immediately smiled. "That's enough, that's enough. Please come this way, gentlemen. I will arrange a good seat for you."

The two women were a little shocked. "Brother Guan, that's all you have left, five hundred taels? Is this Mei Sanniang inlaid with gold?" Hong Guan laughed. Fortunately, she didn't say anything about driving up the price.

"We come out to have fun. What do you think is the use of us having money? If we spend it all, we can go to some bandit villages and rob the rich to help the poor. We are poor!"

The two women rolled their eyes at this, but they didn't say much. After all, Hong Guan only wanted money, and the food was distributed to the people, which was really helping the poor!

The madam brought the three of them to the Peony Hall and arranged a table for them in the second row under the stage. It was not big, just a square table about one meter long.

Hong Guan was a little shocked. This was really corruption. For 550 taels of silver, he could only sit in the second row. It was really unacceptable.

He took out a hundred taels of silver and said, "Bring me a pot of good tea and some snacks. If it's not enough, I'll have more!"

The madam took it with a smile on her face. "Okay, please wait a moment, gentlemen!"

Xiao Qing leaned against Hong Guan and said, "Brother Guan, this brothel is really gorgeous. I feel like the palace is like this. It hasn't even started yet and there are so many people. What do you think of this Mei Sanniang, how stunning is she? Is she prettier, or am I and my sister?"

Although Hong Guan is a straight man, he is not a fool. "I think they each have their own merits, but I guess she is not as pretty as you. After all, she is just a mortal."

Xiaoqing squinted her eyes and smiled, picked up a piece of snack, put it in her mouth, and ate it like a little hamster.

After waiting for a cup of tea, Mei Sanniang came onto the stage with two maids. She was dressed in pink satin and looked very elegant. The people in the audience couldn't help but applaud. She looked 80% similar to Zeng Damei.

She is indeed one of the most beautiful women in the world. She plays the pipa and her singing voice is melodious and sweet. No wonder she is the top star.

But Hong Guan's eyes were no longer on her, but looking around, and soon he saw a scholar in coarse linen clothes standing next to a potted plant at the back.

It was Wang Anxu, the scumbag in the New Liao Zhai section. He was not handsome in the traditional sense, but he was very charming, and when he smiled, he had a cynical feeling.

Moreover, this guy is very scheming. He should have set his sights on Mei Sanniang a long time ago. You know, scholars going to take exams all wear similar clothes, and they also have to pay for tickets when they come in to listen to music.

Wang Anxu's family may be very poor, but the fact that he can come here shows that he still has money. According to the situation in the play, his painting skills are very good and can attract Mei Sanniang. Even if he makes a living by selling paintings, he will not be poor.

Unfortunately, no matter how scheming he is, it is his bad luck to meet me.

When Mei Sanniang finished her song, everyone started to applaud, including Xiaoqing and Bai Suzhen. There were only two exceptions, one was Hong Guan and the other was Wang Anxu.

This move should also be to attract Mei Sanniang. Everyone applauded, but you, Wang Anxu, were the only one who was special. Wouldn't that make you stand out from the crowd?

Hong Guan did not applaud, not to learn from Wang Anxu, but to cast a spell, the art of a great curse.

The treatment for paronychia, intestinal loss, large hemorrhoids, tongue rot and testicular pain!

Wang Anxu, who was originally smiling and posing, suddenly changed his expression and his facial features became twisted. He held his stomach and walked towards the toilet.

But after taking just two steps, the pain from paronychia and testicular pain caused him to stumble and fall to the ground in a dog-eating-shit posture. The people around him exclaimed, attracting all eyes.

It turned out that it was the intestinal loss of control, coupled with the fall, that turned Wang Anxu into a jet fighter. The most important thing was that his thing also exploded, and blood was spurting out. Coupled with the "Oli Gei", everyone around him retreated away.

Wang Anxu wanted to explain, but as soon as he opened his mouth, his tongue hurt, and he held back what he wanted to say.

He stood up and wanted to leave, but the pain in his toes and the things on the ground made him slip again, which made the man more painful. He was directly controlled by the ball pain technique.

He couldn't leave, but the people in the Peony Hall couldn't stand it. The smell was so unbearable that some people even vomited.

The two pimps, along with the people who were there to keep the peace, suppressed their nausea as they grabbed Wang Anxu's clothes and dragged him to the back door. They originally wanted to beat him up, but when they saw how disgusting he was, they each spat and quickly left.

The owner of Guangxianlou reacted quickly. He invited everyone from the Peony Hall to the Lotus Hall on the fifth floor and also provided them with a lot of refreshments. Only then was the matter suppressed.

Mei Sanniang sang three more songs. To be honest, Hong Guan had no appreciation for these humming songs. But the two snakes, Qing and Bai, listened to them with great gusto.

At this time, an old procuress in gorgeous clothes walked onto the stage and said, "Gentlemen, thank you for coming to support Sanniang. Sanniang is shy, so let me speak. Please write a poem. The one who is chosen by Sanniang can drink with her alone!"

The madam obviously had not told Mei Sanniang this, and her face looked grim at this moment.

The reason is very simple. There won't always be prostitutes in a brothel. They are just waiting for a suitable price. What happened today is obviously a sign. Maybe someone has set their sights on Mei Sanniang and can no longer suppress her.

It is estimated that if this happens two or three more times, someone will become her lover, and may even redeem her and take her into the mansion to become a concubine. To put it bluntly, she will become a singer in the mansion.

If someone of higher status takes a fancy to her, she will be sent away. This is the tragedy of ancient times. Don't think that it is only women who are like this, men are not immune to this either.

Mei Sanniang was very clear about this, but she had signed a contract to sell herself, so even if she was unwilling, she couldn't say anything!

The people in the hall became excited. This was Mei Sanniang. Even if they couldn't get close to her, they could drink with her, and it would be a very face-saving thing if they could tell others about it.

Hong Guan smiled secretly, this gave him a chance to show off, writing poems alone was not enough, he also wanted to paint. Among the masters behind the scenes, there were also those who had painting skills, although they were not peerless masters, but they were enough to deal with these people.

The maids brought up the rice paper one by one. The two snakes, Qing and Bai, were a little confused. "Brother Guan, we don't know how to do this. Can you do it? If you succeed, can we have a drink with Mei Sanniang?"

Hong Guan gave Xiao Qing a slap on the face. "We're meeting, so why don't you make such a lewd expression? Who did you learn this from?"

Xiao Qing rubbed her head a little aggrieved, "I learned this from the guests here. I saw them teasing the maids just now, and that's what they did!"

Bai Suzhen rolled her eyes at Xiaoqing, and Hong Guan also had a frown on his face. He ignored Xiaoqing and gave Bai Suzhen a look, and she then tacitly began to grind ink for Hong Guan.

Hong Guan picked up the brush and drew lines on the rice paper. Soon, the figure of a woman appeared on the paper. She was standing on a huge rock, her clothes fluttering, looking at the bright moon in the sky.

After finishing the painting, Hong Guan inscribed the following words beside it: "The clouds resemble clothes, the flowers resemble faces, the spring breeze blows through the threshold and the dew is gorgeous. If we had not met on the top of the Jade Mountain, we would have met under the moon on the Jade Terrace."

When Hong Guan was chatting with Ning Caichen, he discovered that there was no Li Bai in this world. It was perfect for him to show off.

Most people were still scratching their heads, but Hong Guan used the blood of the evil dragon to speed up the evaporation of the water in the ink. After it was completely dry, he called the maid, handed the painting to her, and asked her to give it to Mei Sanniang.

Mei Sanniang had already read more than a dozen poems at this time, which were simply unbearable to look at, and her brows were already furrowed. When she saw Hong Guan's painting and the poem next to it, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth.

After asking the maid, she pointed to Hong Guan's location. She saw the green and white snakes beside Hong Guan, and also discovered that they were women disguised as men.

Thinking that it was Hong Guan's bad taste and that he took him as a dandy young man, he frowned again, but still put the painting aside.
