Go back to the Song Dynasty as a broker

The early morning mist shrouded the gate of Qingyufang. Four or five courtesans stood by the gate of the house, looking at a carriage and a donkey cart parked outside the gate. On the donkey cart were several heavy wooden The two servants struggled to carry another wooden box out of Qingyufang.

After a while, Si Qinghu came out in a white shirt with nothing on, looking chic and calm.

Ling'er behind her hugged the pipa and followed in small steps.

The geisha looked at them, some whispering and laughing in their eyes.Some looked heavy and full of regret.

Si Qinghu walked to the carriage, looked back at the three big characters "Qingyufang" on the gate of this mansion, and there was a bit of sadness in his calm eyes after all.

She had lived in this teaching workshop for ten years, but she did not expect to leave alone in the end due to helplessness.

She has a lot of fame in Bianjing, and the news that she redeemed herself and left Qingyufang must have spread quietly among the public.In order not to let too many irrelevant people join in the fun of the moving, I deliberately chose to move out in the morning.

Although it is still unavoidable that the fellow disciples who are doing good things are gloating on the sidelines.

"Miss, let's go!" Ling'er's crisp voice interrupted Si Qinghu's melancholy.

Just as Si Qinghu was about to step into the carriage, Liu Qingmu's seductive voice came from behind him.

"Yo, a same door, Qinghu, don't tell me when you leave."

"Liu Qingmu, you are shameless!" Ling'er said fiercely at her first.

"Ling'er, don't be rude." Si Qinghu turned around and said, facing Liu Qingmu calmly.

She was right, they belonged to the same family, they were the same couples in Qingyufang, they had been competing for several years, the two really wanted to bid farewell today, to clarify their grievances and grievances.

"Liu Qingmu, now that I'm leaving, you finally got your wish," Si Qinghu said.

Liu Qingmu smiled coquettishly, her blush-painted red lips were flamboyant, "Yes, after waiting for so long, I finally hoped for you away, and I will never worry about someone robbing me of the position of head of the family."

Si Qinghu smiled indifferently, "I never thought of competing with you for the position of being the head of the family. It's just that I am sorry for Grandma Si's hard work, and I don't know if I will lose in your hands."

Grandma Si was the former head of Qingyufang and the person who adopted Si Qinghu. She passed away a few years ago, and Si Qinghu's nostalgia for Qingyufang has long since disappeared with Grandma Si's departure.So I never thought of competing with Liu Qingmu for the position of the future leader of Qingyufang, it was her wishful thinking and treating her as an imaginary enemy!

"You don't need to worry about Qingyufang! But, I kindly spoke to my aunt to match you and Mr. Liang, but you refused? If you don't know what's good, what will you do in the future?"

"Don't worry, I will never starve to death, and I will not beg in front of you when I am hungry!"

After that, Si Qinghu didn't talk nonsense with her any more, and stepped into the carriage.

Liu Qingmu watched the carriage start, and the servant drove the donkey cart, tinkling behind the carriage.With a sneer, he said to his colleagues who joined in the fun: "Did you see that? Si Qinghu is high-spirited. He doesn't want to be a concubine, but wants to be Mr. Liang's wife. If he doesn't know what's good, he won't have a good time in the future. Don't you guys?" Learn from her!"

The carriage bumped slightly, and drove from Qingyufang all the way to the outer city.Seeing Si Qinghu's sad face, Ling'er comforted her and said, "Miss, Qingyufang is no longer the old Qingyufang, and it's a good thing to come out, so you should be happy."

After hearing Linger's words, Si Qinghu also felt that it made sense, and heaved a sigh of relief.

She remembered that when she was eight years old, she ran away from home and was taken in by the former owner of Qingyufang. The former owner was also a kind person who signed her a contract of living.At that time, Qingyufang was still very peaceful, and geisha respected and cared for each other.A few years ago, after the former boss passed away, Aunt Yu took over. Aunt Yu allowed Liu Qingmu to sow discord, form cliques, grab the resources of the same sect, and viciously compete.

She and Liu Qingmu are both the double flowers of Qingyufang. Liu Qingmu is eyeing the future position of the head of Qingyufang, worrying that she will pose a threat and squeeze her out.Thinking that she would not be able to spend two hundred gold to redeem herself, she persuaded Aunt Yu to offer her a high price.

The smog has come to this, after coming out, there is no need to intrigue!

Since I decided to find a well-known geisha to cooperate with, and opened the door for Xiao's trip.Xiao Tong asked people to go out to look for several recruits, and the slightly famous ones turned their heads and left when they heard that they wanted to cooperate with Xiao Shihang.

Xiao Tong couldn't take it anymore, he drank medicine and recuperated at home for two days, and finally couldn't bear to go out.

The sky in the afternoon was dark and unclear, with large groups of dark clouds scattered everywhere, the sun was covered, and the sky was gray and filled with water vapor, as if it was about to rain before it rained.

On the quaint bluestone streets, the number of pedestrians has not decreased due to the unpredictable weather. Some walk to and fro, some stop in front of the shop stalls to discuss business, shouting, bargaining, and the rumble of carriages passing by. Sounds, mixed with each other, so lively!

Wearing plain clothes, Xiao Tong walked along the street alone. Looking at the bustling street scene in front of him, he was in a rare mood. The street scene of Bianliang, the capital of Song Dynasty, which he could only see in "A Picture of Shanghe During the Qingming Festival" before, is now in the Being on the scene is like turning on the 3D mode, which has a novel feeling.

This street is located in the southeast corner of the imperial city, called Dongjiaolou Street, and it is only two kilometers away from the Xiao Family Mansion.In modern times, that is to say, the Xiao family owns a mansion and a business within the first ring road.This is also the reason why my aunt has been lobbying my grandma to sell the dental shop. After all, if the income is divided between the two families, they will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.

Her pace was unhurried, clearly purposeful.

After a while, she turned around and entered the Sangjia Wazi on the south side of the street.

Wazi is a modern entertainment place, and there are dozens of large and small places in Bianjing City. There are food and fruit sellers, medicine sellers, cosmetic shops, jewelry and jade shops, fortune tellers, gambling shops, etc. It has everything that one expects to find, and it is a good place for people to spend their leisure time.

The Gou Lan in Wazili is a theater for various performances. The audience ranges from high-ranking officials and dignitaries to ordinary people. It looks like the performance lasts all night long, rain or shine.

Xiao Tong entered the Goulan under the leadership of acquaintances. If they were not acquaintances in the same industry, outsiders would have to buy tickets to enter.It's just that she is in this line of business herself, and although she can't get any business, someone will still give you the thin face of a ticket as long as she's lip serviced.

There is no theater set up in this Goulan, and the place where the performance is performed is on the ground.As soon as Xiao Tongfu stepped in, he heard tropical-style music, drums, zithers, flutes and other instruments mixed together, enthusiastic and unrestrained. Hundreds of spectators cheered and shouted along with the rhythmic music.

I saw a black-skinned elephant pacing slowly on the field. It was hung with colored strips and copper rings all over its body. There was a wooden square platform on its back. A young woman with a slender waist was twisting her waist on the square platform. Passionate dancing, dancing is a Southeast Asian style dance.

The girl was wearing a red sari dress, revealing her navel and waist. When she danced, the golden ornaments on her dress pattered and mixed with the music, interweaving fiery music, which drove the audience to climax. Wave after wave .

Xiao Tong looked at the girl on the elephant, stopped, smiled softly, and then sat down.

When the performance was over, the audience left the seat one after another, Xiao Tong closed his eyes and rested his mind, and rubbed his head with his index finger that was throbbing with pain from the noise just now.

Suddenly, she felt a flick on her face, as painful as being stabbed by several needles at the same time.Her face was distorted by the pain, and she slowly opened her eyes, a brown and yellow foreign face came into view, her big black eyes blinked, and a smile overflowed from inside.

It was the girl who had just danced on the elephant's back, her sari still in her sari.

The girl took her arm, buried her on her body, rubbed it hard, and coquettishly said in a soft voice, "You are finally here, I miss you so much!"

Xiao Tong couldn't help smiling, gently pushed the girl away, sat up straight, and said: "Jia Luo, don't make trouble."

The voice is also gentle and loving.

In the past, Yuanshen loved to visit brothels and Goulan, so he had many confidante girls, and this girl was one of them.But now she only thinks of her as a sister.

She is only 16 years old this year. She is a girl from Chenla. Xiao Tong has a bad history. I don’t know where Chenla is now. Judging by her appearance, she may be near Thailand!

Seeing Xiao Tong's refusal to make out with him, Jia Luo let go of her hand, and pursed his lips unhappily.But think about it, she can even let go of Si Qinghu, so how could she be so flirtatious with her?

When Xiao Tong was recuperating after being released from prison, Jia Luo visited her at home, and it has been more than half a month now.At this time, her eyes were firmly glued to Xiao Tong's face, and she really missed, "Why are you free to come here today?"

Xiao Tong sighed and frowned, "Want to ask you for help?"

Jia Luo was also generous, "Tell me, I will help you if I can!"

Then, Xiao Tong and Jia Luo talked about Xiao Shixing's current predicament and her idea of ​​finding a famous prostitute to cooperate with.I hope that Jia Luo can help introduce the head of Liulifang, and discuss cooperation with Liulifang's famous prostitutes.

Jia Luo is a geisha in Liulifang, lively and unrestrained, and the head of the family values ​​it very much. If she can help, then the cooperation negotiation is probably half done.

Jia Luo agreed with her idea very much, and immediately pulled her away from the Goulan and returned to Liulifang.

As soon as they arrived at the door, they saw a familiar white figure getting off the donkey cart and leading the maid into Liulifang.

Xiao Tong opened his eyes wide, wondering, "Isn't this Siqing Lake? Why did she come to Liulifang?"

Jia Luo was not surprised at all, and calmly said: "Maybe we can talk about cooperation?"

Looking at Xiao Tong's shocked pupils, Jia Luo understood that she hadn't received the news yet, so he explained: "I heard from the people in Qingyufang that Si Qinghu didn't want to be a concubine, so he paid for his own redemption. We When my aunt received the news, she invited her to come to discuss cooperation."

Xiao Tong understood, nodded, "I see."

This Si Qinghu is worthy of being a popular courtesan, he is really high-minded, he would rather pay a high price to redeem himself, give up the one he loves, than become a concubine, he is really quite proud!

With this appreciation, Xiao Tong also followed Jia Luo to Liulifang.
