Chapter 357: Exotic brothel

Wu Wencai sat alone for a moment without thinking, licked his shriveled lips with a serious expression, and said in a deep voice: "In addition to the people of Liao, has the Jin Kingdom also sent someone to monitor us?"

Chen Ao sighed, and the heavy snow was shining outside the window in his eyes. He shook his head and said, "The Jin people would not be so blatant. The only possibility is that these two groups of people who monitor us are Khitans. Yelu Dashi should not be possible. He is deeply trusted by the Lord of Liao and is in charge of Nanjing's defense. There is no need to do such a thing. As for others, I am afraid that they do not have such great ability. This makes people unable to understand, but we don't have to worry, act according to the opportunity."

Wu Wencai smiled bitterly and said, "The Liao people have repeatedly come to urge us to exchange letters of the country. Does the Master Chen plan to continue to delay?"

Chen Ao smiled and said, "Drag, why not drag? The initiative lies with me. The more I delay, the lower the bottom line of the Liao people will be."

He continued to rest for a few days, and the Liao envoy came to summon him several times, but Chen Ao only refused on the grounds of physical discomfort.

Chen Ao's body was "unhappy", but he responded to Yeluding's invitation to go to Nanjing for fun. The two of them sat on horses together and swam across the city under the encirclement of the imperial guards and entourages. The people of Nanjing along the way rarely saw the Song army's outfits, and they looked blankly at it for a while. Some even shook their heads with regret, with tears in their eyes.

Another year after looking at the king's army in the south, the memory of Fan Yanghau has long faded into the memory. When I saw the Liao people and the Song envoys talking to each other, I felt very sad.

Nanjing, also known as Xijin Prefecture, is an important political and economic center of the Liao people. Before the Khitan fled south, it was the seat of the King of Nanyuan. Its prosperity was even more than that of the capital of the Liao Kingdom, Linhuang Prefecture. It is located in the east city of Nanjing. The Liao people followed Bianjing and also set up a night market here. On the banks of the Frozen Water River, the noble families on both sides lived in. When the lights were just down, the beakers and swallows were emitting a few noises like a vent. Only here can you feel the vitality with rouge and water powder, which completely forgets the cruel war.

Chen Ao stood by the river and felt a lot of emotion. Seeing this, he couldn't help but think of the Bian River. It was on the banks of the Bian River that he met Zhenzhen. Looking around, the banks of the two rivers became even more lively, with rich people gathering, brothels and leisurely boats. The ancient sites, gardens, pleasure boats, and markets gathered together, making people feel the illusion of being in the south of the Yangtze River.

Chen Ao and Yeluding were both wearing casual clothes. When they saw the river, Chen Ao asked Yeluding: "I don't know what river is called?"

Yelu Ding said: "This river is called Gaolianghe. Brother Chen. How about the prosperity here compared to the Bianhe River? "

Gorgon River? This is a scam! Chen Ao's interest has been greatly reduced. When a literati travels, he talks about the word "elegant". Chen Ao is now a top literary youth with a lot of heart and thick-skinned one. However, when he heard the word "Gorgon", he couldn't help but shout in his heart that the Liao people were indeed extraordinary, and even the amusement place was named such a simple name.

The two of them wandered along the riverside for a moment. Suddenly, fireworks in the sky were everywhere. Chen Ao raised his eyes and looked at it. The fireworks were colorful, splashing in the air, illuminating the night sky. It was beautiful. Yeluding was excited and said, "Master Chen, go to a fun place with me."

The two of them turned several bends, and in an open space near the river, there was a gorgeous pavilion standing in the distance, four floors high, colorful flags fluttering and lanterns hanging high, bright and magnificent. Before they got close, they could hear the laughter of men and the giggles of women.

Yeluding is a regular visitor here, laughing and said, "This is the most famous Qinglefang in Nanjing. Chen Ao. Today, let you see the style of my Great Liao."

Chen Ao sneered in his heart, the style of the Great Liao Dynasty has been the territory of my Song Dynasty since ancient times. When did it become your Khitan people? He said with a smile on his face: "Brother Yelu, please."

The two of them went in one after another, and the entourage outside had to take the wind outside and first entered the bright hall. The enthusiastic madam twisted her fat figure and came to Yeluding and laughed loudly. Her charming eyes made Chen Ao very uncomfortable.

Yeluding waved his hand in disgust and told the madam to retreat, acting like a stranger is not close to him. Then he said to Chen Ao: "Master Chen, please go up to the third floor."

Although it was just beginning to night, there were many guests coming to Qinglefang. The building was full of funerals and guests, and their white chests and thighs made people's eyes hurt.

Chen Ao looked around and found that the girls here had many high noses and blue eyes. After looking at the signs on the wall, such as Baruzaza and Iberlulu, he found it rare when he saw this foreign name.

However, the price of such Xibei goods is a bit higher, the price is 500 cents a night, and the price is no less. However, when I think about it, I feel relieved. People travel thousands of miles to contribute to the ***, isn’t it worth this price? The so-called rare things are precious, and gold-inlaid is different.

Yeluding took Chen Ao directly to the third floor. The third floor was a quiet wing room, three floors inside and three floors outside, with bead curtains hanging on each floor. At this time, it was the time when the lights were first on, and there were more and more guests on the third floor, which was very lively. Chen Ao and Yeluding picked up a seat and sat down. Chen Ao knew in his heart that the show was about to begin. He looked at the uncontrollable expressions of the guests around him. There were merchants, scholars, and a monk. The monk was erect and had a bald head thorn. He was very cunning under the light, with an ugly face, and a bit of a glare of the Vajra.

Chen Ao couldn't help but look at the monk, thinking to himself, monks are also human beings, others can go, why can't monks go? He was quite curious. What are you waiting for when so many people gather here?

Suddenly, a series of steps slowly walked behind the pearl curtain, and the noisy noise in the building stopped, and a pair of hungry eyes looked behind the pearl curtain.

The pearl curtain hangs quietly, as if a chair is placed behind the pearl curtain. Looking faintly, there was a wonderful figure sitting behind the pearl curtain. There was no one seen or the sound was heard. Only such a vague graceful figure made people sigh.

Yelu Ding whispered in Shen Ao's ear: "This lady is called Xuan Lan'er. She is the child of a criminal. She is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is beautiful and beautiful. Now she is the signboard of Qinglefang. I don't know how many people dream of having a love for a lover, but... haha..." Yelu Ding laughed ambiguously, laughed, and deliberately wanted to keep her back.

Chen Ao said indifferently: "Stat the official, what is the official?"

Yelu Ding paused and said, "His father was my right prime minister of the Great Liao Dynasty. His father treated him with kindness as much as a mountain, but he dared to be in touch with foreign countries and collude with the thieves. After the matter was exposed, he confiscated her house and incorporated her into a prostitute."

Chen Ao said: "With Brother Yelu's status, isn't it easy to ask her to accompany her? With just one sentence, Qinglefang will send people obediently? Why do you need to do this and come here in person?"

Yelu Ding shook his head and said solemnly: "Can Mr. Chen know who is behind Qinglefang? This person is Li Chuwen, the prime minister of the Great Liao Dynasty. Li Chuwen has made great contributions to establishing it and has a great influence in the court. One with Yelu Dashi, one with the government affairs and the other with military power, is not underestimated. Even if he is a person, he dare not act rashly when he sees Li Chuwen."

Li Chuwen and Chen Ao wrote down this name. He vaguely remembered that since he was staying at the Wanguo Pavilion, there were countless noble ministers from Liao Kingdom who came to visit, from Yelu Dashi to Duke and Bozi, one by one, they all rushed to the forefront. Chen Ao certainly understood the thoughts of these people. The country was about to be destroyed, and Chen Ao was like the last life-saving grass. On the other hand, they could also leave a way out for themselves. Once the Jin army entered the pass, as long as they curry favor with this favorite minister of the Song Dynasty and then they would have at least a place to stay.

However, none of these people was named Li Chuwen. According to Li Chuwen's status, he was indifferent to himself. What was the reason behind this?

Chen Ao fell into silence for a moment. He didn't care about the famous prostitute at all. All the four wives in the family were all beautiful. What's so good about this prostitute? To put it bluntly, it's just a commodity. If the commodity wants to raise the price, it has to be hyped and used hype to attract people's attention. This is actually the same as the so-called stars in later generations, but the way of selling is different.

"Dear masters, the young master is so grateful to you. Why don't you ask Lan'er to play a song for everyone? How about you?" Behind the pearl curtain, the delicate voice came out crisply, her voice was clear and gentle and beautiful.

The people in the room applauded and the atmosphere gradually became stronger.

At this moment, the monk sitting next to him suddenly shouted like thunder, which made many people feel unhappy. The monk looked at the beauty behind the pearl curtain in a daze and said, "The Sha family has heard of Xuan Lan'er's name for a long time. This time, he came from Tokyo to give Miss Lan'er a gift."

Giving gifts? Many people showed disdain. Who is Xuanlaner? What kind of rare treasures have you seen before. Seeing this monk's simple clothes, he may not have any background. What is the rare gifts of his.

The spinning railing behind the pearl curtain seemed to hesitate for a moment and whispered: "Do you dare to ask what gift did the master give?"

The monk laughed and said, "I have heard that Miss Lan'er is the best for playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She sprinkled ink by her family. It took her three days and three nights to draw a picture of a lady, and asked her to accept it with a smile." Everyone was even more dissatisfied. What was this monk? He wanted to win the favor of Xuan Lan'er with this painting. It was really a toad that wanted to eat swan meat.

Xuan Lan'er said with interest: "The master's painting must be excellent."

The monk's face piled up with a pile of flesh and smiled proudly, "Naturally, this is nature." Then he took off the painting tube on his waist, took out the painting tube, and said seriously, "I'm afraid I can't see it clearly after the bead curtain, so why don't you ask the lady to move here to watch?"
