Chapter 34 Buddhist brothels
The Taohuayuan is located in the western suburbs of the central and western suburbs of Beijing, with lush water and grass. The Youshuo Zen Temple was built in the Yuan Dynasty. The Youshuo Zen Temple was built by the owner of the Taohuayuan. All the statements have different opinions, and even people from the capital could not tell the truth. However, after the King of Qi entered the capital, the Taohuayuan Temple came here and made the reputation here gradually become more famous.
Today, Su Yang took a carriage and walked forward, heading straight to the western suburbs of the capital, just to participate in the flower party of the Peach Blossom Garden owner and touch the background of the capital.
On this carriage is a wreath woven by Su Yang. Even though it was the first time to do this kind of work, after Su Yang's skillful hands, the wreath was almost flawless. The only thing that was the beauty was that it was not known that the true appearance of the Peach Blossom Garden. Otherwise, on this wreath, another portrait of the Peach Blossom Garden owner would definitely be in the limelight at this flower party.
Jin Shiyu led the carriage toward the Taohuayuan.
There have been many turmoils in the capital recently, and many ordinary people have also felt something wrong in the capital, so they went outside the city to join their relatives.
Gods fight, mortals suffer.
After experiencing the arrival of King Qi in Beijing, the people are now very sensitive to the turmoil in the capital. Even if they are in Beijing, they are not only those who have to do business, but most of them rarely go out.
Su Yang sat in the carriage and closed his eyes to rest. Although he was busy in the capital recently, his practice has never been pulled down. Walking, sitting, lying down, exhaling and inhaling, all the primordial spirit in his body was circulating the vital energy of the whole body. In this continuous fortune, the primordial spirit in his body became more and more in line with the Zhoutian star spirit.
"Young Master, we're here."
Jin Shiyu shouted Su Yang in front.
Su Yang opened his eyes and walked out of the carriage. Today, Su Yang wore a black robe, with golden silk embroidered flowers on the neck of the collar and a white jade belt, and a hair tied on his head. When he arrived outside the Peach Blossom Courtyard, he was like a noble young man looking ahead, and the door wall of the Peach Blossom Courtyard was taken into consideration by Su Yang.
The essence of the Peach Blossom Courtyard is a nunnery. Looking at the temple buildings, wooden pillars, double eaves, and the corridors around the hall are integrated. It is a typical religious building of the Yuan Dynasty. However, outside, you can see a pagoda, octagonal, thirteen-story high, glazed decoration, exquisite and gorgeous railings, and lifelike animals and gods.
This is another temple pagoda that only appeared in the Ming Dynasty.
From behind the gate, there are about a few hundred houses inside, connecting the radius of several miles into a very grand manner.
There were no nuns in front of the gate to welcome guests. On the contrary, there were a row of male servants standing. Many people came in and out of here and were all dressed in gorgeous clothes. They were all dignitaries in the city. At the flower party here, they presented their own bouquets of money, which was often more than a thousand taels of silver.
Su Yang shook his head slightly. The corruption in the Daqian Dynasty became popular. The greater the official position, the more corruption it was, even if it was an official of his prince, he was not a good official who was wise and knew the truth and was just standing here, but was excluded and went to the prince's investment.
In the current Daqian Dynasty, the greater the official position, the more corruption it is. A special stolen punishment warehouse was built in the imperial treasury to store the stolen goods of officials. The imperial court has already rotted to the roots.
"Put the wreath..."
Su Yang opened his mouth and ordered Jin Shiyu to take down the wreath, but suddenly stopped Jin Shiyu's movements and turned around. He saw that at the entrance of the Taohuayuan, a man was beaten with blood and was distorted and was dragged out of the Taohuayuan.
This person is Song Fu.
“…”
Su Yang walked to Song Fu, and looked at him covered in blood and was already confused. Even if Su Yang stood beside him, Song Fu did not react at all.
"Wait a moment."
Su Yang stopped the two servants who were about to throw away Song Fu.
"What's wrong?"
Both servants are strong men, tall and wide-shouldered, and speak rudely.
"I'm also going to visit the owner of the Peach Blossom Garden. I wonder what taboo this person has violated and was beaten to this way?"
Su Yang handed over the money.
The two men got the money and immediately smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. This person came to our Taohuayuan and sent a wreath to our ward. Our ward is from the western natives. The wreath is on their side and is given to the dead. This person gave this wreath, which will naturally make our ward unhappy. The flesh and blood are a matter of course."
Really clever...
Su Yang nodded and looked at Song Fu on the ground. He was originally going to send a wreath, but it was just a disgusting person. Unexpectedly, the owner of the Peach Blossom Garden knew this. Fortunately, he met Song Fu. Song Fu had tried a wave of tests in front. Otherwise, Su Yang would probably have some trouble when he sent it.
The owner of the Peach Blossom Garden is a native of the Western Paradise... He understands wreath stalks...
Seeing Su Yang like this, the two servants thought it was Su Yang who was shocked and scared, and said, "Our lord is merciful and generous, and can tolerate some minor mistakes. Judging from the young master's appearance, he will definitely have nothing to do when he comes to the flower party, so he can just go in with peace of mind."
It's okay to see my appearance...
The owner of the Peach Blossom Courtyard also enjoys his appearance.
"ah……"
"ah……"
Song Fu, who was lying on the ground, kept screaming, with less breath and more breathing. He raised his head to look at Su Yang, but his eyes were dull. Even if Su Yang stood in front of him, he could not see Su Yang's appearance clearly.
Su Yang looked around and saw that there was no servant Song Fu on both sides. He was obviously here alone. Seeing the cold expressions of the people on both sides, he continued to let Song Fu be here. It was cold and the ground was frozen, so he was afraid that Song Fu would die in front of the door.
"Send him home."
Su Yang ordered Jin Shiyu next to him to arrange a servant.
A few days ago when Su Yang bought chrysanthemums, Jin Shiyu was beside him, knowing where the Song Fu family was located, and this person also has an official position. As long as you inquire, you will definitely be able to know where the family is.
"yes."
Jin Shiyu received the order.
"in addition……"
Su Yang leaned into Jin Shiyu's ear and whispered: "Send the wreath to him."
The owner of the Peach Blossom Courtyard does not need a wreath, but Song Fu must use it. In Su Yang's opinion, Song Fu's spirit has declined, and even if he lives, he will not live long. Moreover, he has a vague spirit, obviously he has the life of an unjust soul. Now he has no Yang Fire, which is the time when the little ghosts are easily invaded.
After asking clearly, Su Yang said goodbye to the two servants, and stopped sending flowers, and walked straight to the gate of the Peach Blossom Courtyard.
At this time, there were already many people in the Taohuayuan. There was a person in front of him recording a booklet. Who will be the one who will come here and what gifts will be given one by one.
"The Ministry of Personnel gave a golden flower and a pair of white jade..."
"Li Yu from Wenyuan Pavilion gave gold, stone and jade..."
While writing the booklet, the person who wrote the booklets was writing, he said that in the current situation of corruption, these officials came here, which were more valuable than wealth, silk, satin, gold, silver and jewelry. They were inseparable from the gifts, so they were naturally not stingy.
When Su Yang walked up, Jin Shiyu brought a small box with gold inside.
The person who recorded the gift list raised his head, looked at Su Yang, and asked, "Which company are you from?"
"It's from the Minister of Revenue Jin."
Jin Shiyu responded.
"good."
The gift list recorded all this. There was not much gold, nor was there any tricks. Among these many gifts, they could only be considered ordinary and inconspicuous.
At this time, there was already a lot of craftsmanship in the processing of gold and silver jewelry, such as lone goose holding gourds, Pisces playing with algae, peonies cleverly embedded with green and gold, cat eyes, hairpin head flame wax, full crown chiseling out of Guanghan Palace, covered temples chiseling out of Taoyuan Realm... and other jewelry, among others, there are many things, and the owner of the Peach Blossom Garden has everything on gold and silver. Only by making tricks can she be truly happy.
Su Yang walked into the Taohuayuan.
At this time, there were already many people in the Peach Blossom Courtyard. Most of the chrysanthemums were placed on the ground. The yard was fragrant and golden. Many people were in the lobby, and many people went to the inner hall. Su Yang looked around and saw that the people here were dressed in luxurious clothes, golden and purple, and they were all well-dressed. They greeted each other here. People who knew each other visited the garden together, looked at the chrysanthemums in the yard, either recited poems and essays, or talked about the world.
This is indeed a good place to go.
Su Yang saw that the front yard and the back yard were all open, and there was no prohibition, so he walked around the peach blossom yard at will.
The front hall looks like a Buddhist temple, with Buddha Tathagata, the four great Bodhisattvas, and many Western land flower decorations and Western land statues. However, there is little incense on it. Su Yang walked to the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva, ignited the incense, inserted it on the incense burner, looked at the statue, and walked away after a while.
The statues here have nothing supernatural, they are just gold and silver pieces.
When I walked into the backyard, there was a deep room and curved courtyard, with bright flowers blooming. In the garden pavilions, there were constant sounds of silk and bamboo. Many high-ranking officials and young men in gorgeous clothes were in this backyard, either in the pavilion or in the deep courtyard, and they all had their own relationships. Then look at the rockery, pools and water around the surroundings, and the boats were swimming. A beautiful Buddhist temple turned into a place of fireworks.
"Amitabha."
Su Yang sighed for the Buddhist temple.
"Hehehehehe..."
It happened that a woman from the Peach Blossom Garden was about to walk by when she heard Su Yang sigh, calling Amitabha Buddha, covering her mouth and laughing out loud.
Su Yang turned around and looked at the woman's clothes that were elegant and delicate, slender and beautiful, narrowed her eyes like crescent moons. Yili bowed to the woman and shouted, "Hello, sister."
Such a polite and restrained look was like Brother Chu's first time visiting the fireworks place.
"No one receives you?"
The woman with light makeup asked Su Yang.
Su Yang shook his head.
"Then come with me."
The woman with light makeup reached out and held Su Yang's sleeve. Su Yang quickly flicked away, making the woman with light makeup smile again, and the light in her eyes flowed. She looked at Su Yang and said, "You should follow me quickly. If someone else sees you wandering around in the yard alone, no one will accompany us, and we sisters will inevitably have a whip again."
Oh... there is oppression here too.
Su Yang followed the woman with light makeup and asked, "I dare to ask my elder sister's name."
In ancient times, women were called elder sisters, and Xu Xian called Xiaoqing.
"I'm Xiaoqin."
Xiaoqin turned her face and said to Su Yang: "There is the house in front of me."
