Dressed as the teacher of the Black Lotus Emperor

As soon as Mr. Shen entered Zuixiangfang, it was like Tang Monk strayed into Pansi Cave. Butterflies flew into the flowers and walked all the way, but every girl who glanced at him would always throw a fragrant handkerchief to make fun of him.

Although Zuixiangfang is the most famous romantic place in Shengjing, the brothel is always a brothel, a place for rich people to have fun. .

Mr. Shen was inexperienced, and he really couldn't stand up to the passionate girls, so he had no choice but to pull Kong Shang behind him to stand in front of him.

"Young master?" Kong Qianhu didn't know that he was being used as a shield, so he turned his head and asked blankly.

"Don't ask too many questions, I'll let you go." Shen Qingzhuo hid behind him, and opened the folding fan with the other hand to cover that clear and beautiful face.

The three went up to the second floor, took a detour, and finally stopped in front of an elegant wing room.

"My family will live in this room, please, my lord." Xiang Lian's eyes fluttered, and Fushen invited Mr. Shen to come in.

"Okay." Shen Qingzhuo stepped into the threshold calmly.

Kong Shang was about to go in together, but was stopped by Xiang Lian, "My lord, you don't have to follow in, do you?"

"Why can't I go in?" Kong Shang was impatient and gestured his hands excitedly, "I came with my son!"

He shoulders the heavy responsibility of protecting Mr. Shen, and Mr. Shen is out of his sight. If something happens, he can't afford it!

But Xiang Lian was not afraid of him, and replied: "The girls in Zuixiangfang only receive one customer at a time, Master Confucius doesn't know this rule?"

Kong Shang: "I—"

"Just wait outside." Shen Qingzhuo turned around and ordered, "If necessary, I will call you in."

Kong Shang frowned: "My lord!"

"Or, you can also talk to a girl about Fengyue." Shen Qingzhuo said with a smile, "Mr. Yinzi will pay you, it's a treat for you."

When Kong Shang heard this, he couldn't help being moved, "Is it really possible?"

The last time he came here to meet that Chuntao girl, he couldn't forget it all the time, but Chuntao's "entry fee" was expensive, so he might not be able to get a good one.

Before Shen Qingzhuo could reply, Xiang Lian closed the door, "Master Kong, you can do whatever you want."

Shen Qingzhuo: "..."

As soon as Xiang Lian turned around, there was a soft smile on her face again, "My lord, please sit down."

Shen Qingzhuo sat down at the table, and was about to ask Xiang Lian what talent he had, when a strong smell of incense powder came over him suddenly, and it was Xiang Lian who rushed over, eager to untie his clothes.

"Hey wait!" Shen Qingzhuo was caught off guard, and quickly raised his hand to grab the skirt, "Miss Xianglian, a gentleman uses his mouth but not his hands, so speak up when you have something to say!"

"My family is a little girl, but not a gentleman." Xiang Lian gave him a coquettish look, then stretched out her hand and went down.

Shen Qingzhuo hid her hand in a little embarrassment, not to be rough on the girl, so he could only raise his voice and shout: "Xiang Lian!"

What a reincarnation, he shouldn't have ridiculed the little apprentice who was "forced by the overlord" by the two court ladies, the retribution came too soon!

"Young master?" Kong Shang, who was guarding the door, heard the movement in the room, and beat on the door anxiously, "Young master, are you alright?"

"No problem!" Shen Qingzhuo blocked Xiang Lian's attack with his jade fan, and said nicely, "Miss Xiang Lian, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."

Seeing Mr. Shen's resistance, Xiang Lian withdrew his body a little bored, "Master, do you really want to drink tea and chat with my slave?"

The guests who come to Zuixiangfang are either princes or nobles or literati and poets.Those men will indeed be arty at the beginning, pretending to listen to music and dance, and chatting with girls from poetry to philosophy of life, but in the end, it is not about the men and women who rush to the bed curtain in the end.

"Ahem..." Shen Qingzhuo cleared his throat, straightened his messy clothes, "What talent does Miss Xianglian have?"

Xiang Lian looked at the piano placed on one side, "I have a little understanding of the rhythm, what music do you want to hear, my lord?"

"Miss Xiang Lian can play whatever music she likes." Shen Qingzhuo put on a posture of listening attentively, "I try not to let the girl play the piano to the cow."

"Hehe..." Xiang Lian covered her lips and chuckled, "Young Master Shen is so funny."

The sound of the "clank" zither sounded, starting with resentment, and gradually murderous intentions spread everywhere. The rapid bass zither sound bred restlessness, and then smashed into a scene of sparks with a threatening momentum. It seems that the golden drums of war are close at hand.

Shen Qingzhuo frowned slightly, staring thoughtfully at the solemn woman playing the piano.

Different from the lofty artistic conception and gentle tunes of traditional qin music, this piece "Guangling San" is full of swords, lights and swords, full of murderous intentions. It is both depressed and indignant, and impassioned. It is not the place of Yanliu's favorite qin music.

"Okay!" After the song, Shen Qingzhuo stroked his palm with a fan and praised, "The piano is beautiful, the music is beautiful, and people are even more beautiful."

Xiang Lian stopped her hand cleanly, and her face showed a charming look again, "Since my family is so beautiful, why isn't Young Master Shen tempted?"

"That means my master has strong determination." Shen Qingzhuo nodded to the seat opposite, "Come and sit."

Xiang Lian got up, sat down as she said, and said with a smile: "Next, Mr. Shen is going to talk about poetry, poetry, or family and country feelings with the slave family?"

"No." Shen Qingzhuo lightly shook his fan, "Master wants to ask you about a girl."

Hearing this, Xiang Lian's smile froze slightly, and then she reproached as if to cover up: "Your servant is sitting next to the young master, and the young master still has the heart to inquire about other girls?"

Shen Qingzhuo smiled but said nothing, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, "Does Miss Xiang Lian also have this sun totem?"

The smile on Xiang Lian's lips completely disappeared, "Mr. Shen has never been to Zuixiangfang, where did you see this totem?"

Shen Qingzhuo took out another piece of paper and showed her the portrait on the paper, "What about this girl, do you know Miss Xianglian?"

Xiang Lian paused, then lowered her eyes and replied: "I don't know."

"It seems that they are old acquaintances." Shen Qingzhuo was staring at her intently, naturally he would not miss every slight expression on her face, and said with affirmative tone, "Today, I have found the right person."

"Mr. Shen." Xiang Lian saw that she couldn't be easily fooled, so she said bluntly, "Except for inquiring about people and things, Xiang Lian can accompany you in whatever you want, Young Master."

Shen Qingzhuo closed his eyes slightly, and said in a calm tone: "Since Miss Xianglian can't give me what I want, then I won't force others. But under the heavy money, there must be a brave man. If Miss Xianglian refuses to speak, naturally someone is willing."

After that, he got up and walked to the door.

"Wait!" At this moment, Xiang Lian behind him suddenly stopped him, "What does Mr. Shen want to know?"

Shen Qingzhuo lowered his eyelashes, and the faint smile on the corners of his lips disappeared in a flash.

He turned around and replied: "Please also ask Miss Xianglian to tell you everything, and talk endlessly."

***

In the wing room, Shen Qingzhuo was drinking a cup of fragrant tea, and the tall and burly Kong Qianhu stood behind him with a serious face.

"Her name is Linglong, and she used to be a maid from Zuixiangfang." Xiang Lian said slowly, "Linglong has both talents and looks, and is especially famous for her graceful dancing. Some people have a crooked idea and frequently offer high prices to break her body forcibly."

Kong Shang suddenly realized: "So she is Linglong! I am in the palace—"

Shen Qingzhuo flew over with a fan, interrupting his big mouth just in time.

Kong Shang was startled, almost bit his tongue, apologized hastily: "I'm sorry, my lord! I was wrong!"

"Miss Xianglian, please continue." Shen Qingzhuo smiled slightly.

"Zuixiangfang, as long as the money is in place, there is no such thing as a pure girl in the strict sense, and my mother soon thought of asking her to sell her body." Xiang Lian seemed to be lost in memory, "At first Linglong swore to die No, I went on a hunger strike several times, but it was still useless, even though I was starving to death, I was still sent to the benefactor's bed by my mother."

Shen Qingzhuo frowned unconsciously, "And then?"

Xiang Lian: "It was also that time when Linglong met that young master surnamed Xiao."

"Young Master Xiao?" Shen Qingzhuo's heart skipped a beat, and a reasonable guess appeared in his mind.

"That Young Master Xiao is extremely mysterious, but he spends a lot of money and spends a lot of money, so he directly hired Linglong." Xiang Lian's tone revealed a trace of imperceptible envy, "From now on, Linglong will no longer be forced to sell herself."

Shen Qingzhuo: "After that, Linglong was redeemed by that Young Master Xiao?"

"That's right." Xiang Lian covered her veil and smiled softly, "That Mr. Xiao once again spent a lot of money to redeem Linglong. Since then, I have never seen her again."

Shen Qingzhuo secretly sighed, this Xianglian girl probably thought that Linglong had gone to live a good life, but she never thought that Linglong would turn into a green plum and now become a wanted murderer wanted by Beizhen Fusi.

"Our brothel girls, even if they are redeemed, are not innocent, so it is difficult to enter the front door to be the main room, but since Mr. Xiao is so generous to her, he probably won't make her suffer too much. It's much better than being in Zuixiangfang." Xiang Lian raised her eyes to look at Mr. Shen, with a worry in her tone, "But today, Mr. Shen came to ask people with her portrait, could it be that she... What's up?"

Shen Qingzhuo avoided answering, and asked again: "Master Xiao, every time he comes here, does he still meet other girls?"

"This..." Xiang Lian looked hesitant.

Shen Qingzhuo raised his hand to signal Kong Qianhu behind him.

Kong Shang understood, and took out another gold bar from his pocket and put it on the table.

"Miss Xiang Lian, don't worry, after leaving this door, there will be no fourth person to know about everything that Master Ben asked you about today." Shen Qingzhuo lightly shook the jade fan, "If Miss Xiang Lian wants to leave Zuixiangfang, You can also say it directly."

Gritting her teeth, Xiang Lian replied in a low voice, "Then Mr. Xiao will sit in Yingluo's room for a long time every time he comes."

"Yingluo?" Shen Qingzhuo turned her head slightly, "Xiao Kong, have you heard of this girl?"

Kong Shang: "Of course I've heard that, this girl Yingluo is one of the top courtesans in Zuixiangfang!"

This Yingluo girl can be called a famous prostitute in Shengjing. She is omnipotent in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, chess and embroidery, especially poetry, calligraphy and painting. endowed.

"Confucius is right. The people who come and go in Yingluo's room are the big figures in the capital." Xiang Lian glanced at Mr. Shen again, "I thought Mr. Xiao would also redeem Yingluo, but Yingluo still receives guests as usual."

"Big man?" Shen Qingzhuo tapped the handle of the fan lightly on the table, "How big is the man?"

No matter how big a person is, can he still be bigger than the Crown Prince in the Eastern Palace?

Xiang Lian leaned over and said mysteriously: "I heard in private that several high officials in the dynasty are regular guests in Ying Luo's room."

Shen Qingzhuo let out a "hiss", and asked: "That girl Yingluo, how can I meet her?"

"This is difficult." Xiang Lian sat back on the chair, "Mr. Shen came to Zuixiangfang for the first time, and I'm afraid he couldn't even touch Yingluo's door."

Shen Qingzhuo opened the fan and said slowly: "Really?"

***

After about a stick of incense, there was a Mr. Pianpian in the private seat on the second floor.

It was the time when Zuixiangfang received customers, and the guests who entered the door took their seats on the first and second floors one after another.

"My lord, just look at your face." A young man in a brocade robe came over to talk to him, "Is this your first time at Zuixiangfang?"

Shen Qingzhuo withdrew his gaze, looked back at the person, and replied with a smile: "Exactly."

The young man stared straight at him, "Is the young master from Shengjing? It stands to reason that there are such romantic figures in Shengjing as the young master, and Tan should not be unaware of them."

"Brother Tan's praise, I've only come to Shengjing not long ago." Shen Qingzhuo cupped his hands and said, "My surname is Shen."

"So it's Mr. Shen!" Tan Ruizhe smiled brightly, "Mr. Shen is here today, which girl is he here for?"

Shen Qingzhuo thought for a moment, then replied: "To tell you the truth, Brother Tan, I'm here for Miss Yingluo."

As soon as this remark came out, Tan Ruizhe raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Miss Yingluo's threshold is not low."

"Ms. Shen has admired Miss Yingluo's demeanor for a long time." Shen Qingzhuo waved the jade fan unhurriedly, "If Brother Tan has a way to let Mrs. Shen see Ms. Yingluo's beauty, Mrs. Shen will be grateful."

Tan Ruizhe thought about it, called the servant behind him, and whispered a few words in the servant's ear.

"We are destined to meet here today, so I will give it a try for Mr. Shen." Tan Ruizhe sat down beside him familiarly, and said with a smile, "But I dare not promise whether it will be successful or not."

"Brother Tan is really a straightforward person." Shen Qingzhuo curled his lips into a chuckle, "Whether it is successful or not, Shen has accepted Brother Tan's love."

When he smiled, Tan Ruizhe couldn't help being slightly distracted, staring at those slightly raised peach blossom eyes and couldn't move his eyes away.

Kong Shang was no longer surprised by this kind of obsessive gaze, while paying attention to Mr. Shen's safety, he was distracted to watch the performance off the stage.

Every night in Zuixiangfang there are girls performing arts, just to watch a song and dance performance will cost ten taels of silver.The girl on the stage tonight is performing a dance, accompanied by the melodious silk and bamboo sounds played by the musicians, and the onlookers are fascinated by watching.

Mr. Shen, on the other hand, was drinking tea absent-mindedly, chatting with Tan Ruizhe who just met across the way.

After a while, he called Kong Shang and whispered something in Kong Qianhu's ear.

Kong Shang got the order, and immediately went downstairs to find the tea girl on the side of the stage who was in charge of counting the rewards.

After a while, the tea girl shouted loudly: "Young Master Shen in the private seat on the second floor, spend a hundred gold!"

The audience was in an uproar, and all the guests searched around, looking for the big brother.

This Zuixiangfang is like a large-scale live broadcast room. When the girls perform their talents, they accept rewards from the audience. If the reward is enough, the tea hostess will manually broadcast to thank the rewarders.

After a performance, the last big brother will get some extra rewards, such as being invited into the room alone by the girls, drinking tea and chatting, etc. As for staying overnight, that is another price.

After a burst of commotion, Zuixiangfang gradually returned to calm.

"Mr. Shen, didn't you come here for Miss Yingluo?" Tan Ruizhe didn't understand, "Why..."

"It doesn't matter." Shen Qingzhuo replied lightly, "This small amount of money can be regarded as a little respect for the girl performing tonight."

To be honest, the gold, silver and jewels he had saved in the palace in the Year of the Fleeing Little Fragrant Pig would not be used up by ordinary people in a few lifetimes.Save money for a thousand days, use it for a while, and make a move when it's time to make a move.

Seeing the change in his eyes, Tan Ruizhe tentatively asked, "Dare to ask Mr. Shen, how high are you now?"

"I'm not alone." Shen Qingzhuo replied half-truthfully, "I just have a little money at home."

While the two were talking, a sharp female voice sounded: "Yo, this is Young Master Shen, right?"

Shen Qingzhuo raised his eyes, and a woman over half a century old came into view with heavy makeup and gorgeous clothes.

Despite the heavy makeup, it still couldn't hide the fine lines on the woman's face, and she looked at Mr. Shen with a smile on her face, as if she was looking at a big fish waiting to be slaughtered.

Shen Qingzhuo: "Are you the proprietress of Zuixiangfang?"

"Mr. Shen has good eyesight!" The proprietress deliberately flattered her, "Mr. Shen is satisfied with the dance under the stage?"

"It's average." Shen Qingzhuo closed the jade fan, and said in a casual tone, "I came here especially for the name, but now I took a look, but it's nothing."

The proprietress's smile froze, and soon she smiled again and said: "It seems that Mr. Shen is also a picky person, but since Zuixiangfang is well-known, it must be more than that."

Shen Qingzhuo glanced at her: "How do you say that?"

The proprietress clapped her hands, "Master Shen, why don't you take a closer look?"

After a while, dozens of girls came out from upstairs.

These girls are fat, swallows and thin, each with their own merits, and they are all dressed in red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue and purple, which makes people dazzled.

Shen Qingzhuo turned his face slightly, covered his lips with a fan, and asked in a low voice: "Is there her among them?"

Kong Shang looked carefully for several times, and suddenly remembered: "My lord, I haven't seen it before!"

Shen Qingzhuo: "..."

It should be absent, how can the top oiran show his face so easily?

"Mr. Shen, all the girls who are free tonight are here. Do you think there is anyone you like?" The proprietress said in a courteous tone, and then pulled the girl next to her around, "Girl Eighteen from Zuixiangfang He is proficient in all kinds of martial arts, only you, Mr. Shen, can't think of it, and there is nothing Zuixiangfang can't provide."

Shen Qingzhuo stepped forward slowly, knocking on the jade fan and pretending to look at the girls, but thought to himself, no matter how you look at this scene, it looks like you are choosing a concubine?

"Ah!" With a scream, the girl standing on the farthest side tilted her ankle and fell towards the railing uncontrollably.

The railing is not high, so it's easy to fall directly, Shen Qingzhuo didn't have time to think about it, and caught her quickly, "Miss, be careful!"

The proprietress didn't care about the girl's life or death at all, and said while the iron was hot: "How about it, which girl's boudoir does Mr. Shen want to have a long talk with?"

Shen Qingzhuo smiled, but before he could speak out his appeal, he suddenly heard a very sad voice from behind: "Sir..."

Mr. Shen was struck by lightning in an instant, he subconsciously let go of his hands, and the girl who was staring at him shyly in his arms fell to the ground unexpectedly.

At the same time, Kong Shang shouted in surprise: "Qiqiqi, Qidian—"

"It turns out that this is what the master said..." Xiao Shen stood alone at the entrance of the second floor, his dark and gloomy phoenix eyes were bottomless, and he paused every word, "Incense making workshop?"

Shen Qingzhuo: "!"

The author has something to say:

Mr. Shen: Xiao Qi!Listen to Mr. Sophistry first!

Little Wolf Cub: Don't listen, I won't listen!Mr. deceived my pure and young heart!I'm going to make a big fuss!

Girl from Zuixiangfang: Lift me up and abandon me...

Wait, the Shura field is not over yet hahahaha!
