Chapter 21 Furong Pavilion Oiran
Xu Shao knew his friend very well, and knew that Wang Yue was very passionate about fame and always wanted to be an official.
However, the imperial court's official position has always been controlled by eunuchs and slander officials. Even if Wang Yue has excellent swordsmanship, he still has no way to seek an official position.
Now there is an opportunity to become a minister of the Dragon before him. Even if the opportunity is small, Wang Yue will try hard, and he is afraid that he will not be able to persuade him.
Wang Yue asked Xu Shao very seriously: "Zi Jiang, tell me, who is the Greedy Wolf in that troubled time?"
Xu Shao smiled bitterly and said, "You know this person, you are also familiar with him. He is Yuan Shu, the famous Yuan family's legitimate son of Luoyang City."
Wang Yue was shocked when he heard this:
"Yuan Shu? It's the famously dissolute son Yuan Shu? Zi Jiang, you won't make a mistake, right?"
Yuan Shu's prodigality is famous throughout Luoyang. Many people feel sorry for the Yuan family's trash, but they didn't expect that he could be a turbulent wolf in troubled times.
Could it be that Xu Shao didn't want me to serve, so he deliberately said that such a prodigal son was to perfunctory me?
Xu Shao saw Wang Yue’s doubts and said sincerely to Wang Yue:
"Brother, you want to join that greedy wolf, but it's not what I want.
But I have been with you and I for several years, and I know my brothers.
If I don't want to say it, I can choose not to tell you and will never make up lies and deceive you.
Yuan Shu was indeed a turbulent wolf in troubled times. He usually showed himself as a playboy and almost hid Shao."
After hearing Xu Shao's words, Wang Yue not only did not think that Yuan Shu was too insidious, but instead said happily:
"Those who accomplish great things do not care about the details. This is my lord, and I should go and help him in person!"
After saying that, he stood up and was about to leave.
Seeing Wang Yue's anxious look, Xu Shao shouted:
"Hey, brother, why are you so anxious? Do you know where Yuan Shu is now?"
Wang Yue answered without looking back:
"We must be in a hurry to serve the wise master. My disciple Shi A will find out the location of Yuan Shu."
...
At the hour of You, Yuan Shu and Xi Zhicai were happily shopping in the commercial street in Luoyang.
At this time, I suddenly found that there were lights in front of me, which was very lively.
Yuan Shu asked the servant beside him (Yuan An had already gone to purchase at this time, and he had other managers of the Yuan family who temporarily replaced him):
"There is so lively ahead, you can go and see what's going on."
"Yes, young master." The servant responded and hurried forward to investigate.
After a while, the servant came back to report to Yuan Shu:
"Reporting to the young master, it seems that a new courtesan has arrived in Furong Pavilion in front of him, and the ceremony is being held. Everyone wants to see the courtesan's face, so it is lively."
Yuan Shu smiled at Xi Zhicai and said:
"The courtesan, it seems very interesting. Why don't we go and have a look?"
Xi Zhicai responded:
"Since the lord has such a good mood, I will naturally be happy to accompany you."
Xi Zhicai is also a romantic and unruly person. There is no pressure on him to visit brothels and drink flowers and wine.
"Give it and give it and give it, Young Master Yuan Shu is here!" The servants beside him shouted at the top of their voices, driving away the crowd next to him and opening a way for Yuan Shu and Xi Zhicai.
Yuan Shu's reputation is still very useful in Luoyang City.
Of course, it is a bad reputation. Even if ordinary children of aristocratic families hear Yuan Shu's name, they will give in a little.
Especially this morning, after receiving the evaluation of "Luoyang's evil wolf, the fierce ghost in the road", it added a bit of fierceness to Yuan Shu's reputation.
The few servants didn't spend much effort, and most of them subconsciously began to move away from Yuan Shu's name after hearing about Yuan Shu.
When the waiter at the entrance of Furong Pavilion saw Yuan Shu, he smiled like a flower on his face. This prodigal son who is famous in Luoyang is definitely a big customer of entertainment venues like them!
He quickly walked up attentively and said to Yuan Shu and Xi Zhicai:
"Two young masters, there is a new courtesan in Furong Pavilion today. It can be said that he is more beautiful than the other people. It's really time for the two young masters to come. The courtesan will take the stage to perform in person later."
Yuan Shu nodded and winked at the servant next to him.
The servant immediately understood and stood up and said to the waiter in Furong Pavilion:
"Do you know who is coming? This is Mr. Yuan Shu from our Yuan family! Hurry up and arrange the best position for us, and money will definitely be indispensable to you."
The waiter in Furong Pavilion nodded and said:
"Yes, yes, who doesn't know about Mr. Yuan Shu's name? Please rest assured, this manager, and you will definitely provide Mr. Yuan with the best service."
Then he turned sideways and made a gesture to the few people and said:
"Two young men, the elegant seat at the core of the upstairs has been prepared for you!"
The two sat in the center of the upper floor, and several servants were waiting beside them.
Yuan Shu looked around for a week, but the waiter did not lie to them. The view of this place was indeed the best in the audience.
In ancient times, brothels were different from restaurants. Restaurants mainly drank and ate vegetables.
This brothel is mainly about drinking and watching performances. Yuan Shu looked at the entertainment model and consumption level of this place, which was a bit similar to the bars in later generations.
This kind of place is a gold-selling cave, and ordinary people dare not walk in at all.
Drink a bottle of wine casually and you will lose your income in a month, let alone ask two girls to accompany you.
Therefore, all those who can come here are high-ranking officials and nobles. The most suitable one is a prodigal son like Yuan Shu who takes his family as his career.
When they came in, there were already dancers performing on the stage, all of whom were beautiful women of 28 years old, which feasted the audience's eyes and thoughts a lot.
Yuan Shu's servant stood aside and said to the waiter of Furong Pavilion: "Give us two bottles of your best wine, and then give us a few special snacks."
The waiter walked on as he accepted the wine and a wide variety of snacks came out soon.
Yuan Shu chose two randomly and put them in his mouth to taste them. The taste was quite good. If it was put into it now, it was also a distinctive ancient style bar. It would probably attract many people who like ancient style and the second dimension.
Yuan Shu took a sip of wine and smiled at Xi Zhicai, "Sir, how do you feel?"
"It feels pretty good. In fact, Zhong really likes this kind of atmosphere, but he is short of money on weekdays and comes less." Xi Zhicai replied with a smile, not feeling restrained at all.
Just as the two were chatting, the dancers on the stage suddenly changed their positions and spread to the side. A woman in white with a veil flew down from the upper floor.
Her figure is slim and her movements are soft, and she dances in the air.
"Miss Rong is here!" Someone from the audience shouted, and everyone's eyes began to focus on the woman in white.
Yuan Shu also carefully observed the woman in white and found that the reason why she could fly down from the air was because two white silk was wrapped around her body.
Did the ancients also play hang wires?
