Chapter 5

The auspicious time has come!

The autumn in Jiangnan is the most pleasant. Without the haunting of plum rain in spring, without the unbearable heat of summer, the weather is high and the air is cool, and the wind is beautiful. It is a good time.

Since Chen Shi, I have been standing at the gate of Qinlou, holding a smile on my face and greeting guests who were attending the opening ceremony from time to time. When Xiao Xiao combed my hair in the morning, he had already told me secretly that Xiaoxian said that holding a smile on his face for a day is the basic skill of a turtle man in a brothel.

My public identity is the godson of Li Liuniang, the owner of Qinlou. Of course, my name will not appear in the Qinlou partners registered in the government office. The Ming Dynasty did not allow officials to do business, but his aunts and aunts were not prohibited from doing business. The one who was on par with Liuniang's name was my concubine, Sister Yu Linglong.

There are not many guests invited to open Qinlou, but there are still bustling in front of the alley. In addition, the neighbors around watching the fun, there is a festive atmosphere for opening.

Lord Ma, you are here, please

Master Bai, please wait. I have prepared a speech for you in Cixi Hall. You will be able to read it as you go. Of course, of course, I know that you have bad eyes. I have found two well-educated girls for you to read it for you first.

...Oh, isn't this Mr. Li? You are getting younger and younger as you live. Is this your grandson? Ah? It's your son, I, I admire you so much...

Mr. Lu, hey, fuck old Lu, rub my face quickly, my fucking face hurts so much

Lu Wei and Nan Yuanzi came together. They looked me up and down for a long time, and finally couldn't help but point at me and laughed: Don't love, you, what are you wearing?

In fact, the clothes on my body are not shabby. The material is the best lake satin in Baoyuefang. It is said that just a cloth is worth ten taels of gold; and the people who cut the pieces are Sha Wuniang, known as the best-in-class master of Suzhou, but the color pattern has deviated. If I were not for my tall figure, the water-green color and the decorative flowers and plants would look like a reptile animal.

When I saw this outfit, I almost killed Gao Qi, but Gao Qi looked unfair: Brother, I thought it was me standing at the door to pick up customers, but I didn’t expect Grandma Six to ask you to stand there!

But I can't stand at the door of the brothel wearing an eighth-rank court uniform or a juren Qinglian! I can only comfort myself. The green color is quite similar to my court uniform. I just want to just hold it, but I sighed in my heart that my godson was not so easy to be.

Speaking of which, if I hadn't received news from the teacher that Liu Niang might be my master's secret concubine, I would have really turned against me. Now in my heart, Liu Niang was almost as respected as the five master's wives in Yangzhou, so I could only stand obediently at the gate of Qinlou.

Invitations and gifts, no invitations or gifts are missing! I deliberately said with a flaw

Lu Wei and Nan Yuanzi were even more angry when they heard this. Lu Wei smiled and said: Brother, I only realized that you are a funny master. Are you a gift?

Looking in the direction of his finger, it turned out that there were brothers in the No. 100 yamen. They stood in a dark place, and they were all shy and full of energy. Seeing me looking over, they suddenly shouted in unison: Hello, sir!

Thank you brothers for your hard work! I couldn't help but shout, and I still replied in one sentence to serve the adults!

The loud voice caused the guests, pedestrians and those who watched the fun stretched their necks and stopped to watch

I felt aroused. Lu Wei's gift was too great. He ignored his official future and made it clear that the inspection department would fully support Qin Lou.

Although there is no martial arts gang in Suzhou, there is never a shortage of gangsters. If those gangsters come to make trouble every day, it will be enough for me to be upset.

Once the inspection department makes its attitude clear, those gangsters will be much more restrained. After all, everyone still remembers the thunderous methods of Lu Wei when he came to Suzhou.

Nan Yuanzi smiled silly, took out a box from his arms and handed it to me, saying it was a gift for me, I frowned and said he was too disgusting. He said it was not He Qinlou, but to congratulate you on his concubine. As he said that he looked innocent, a playful smile appeared in his seemingly straight eyes.

I was shocked and asked him if something happened to leave Suzhou. But I have wanted to marry Wuxia home in the past few days.

Lu Wei smiled and said: You have just come to Suzhou and don’t know Lao Nan. It has been twenty years since he was missing for a month every September, and Lao Sanwei has to be closed for a month. He will come back on the 11th day, so don’t make a fuss.

I suddenly remembered what Nan Yuanzi said yesterday. He should have gone to see his master, and he could teach such an outstanding disciple. His master should also be a well-known figure in the world. But he could let Nan Yuanzi wander around in the market. I think he was not a person who was greedy for fame.

I told the maid to lead Lu Wei and Nan Yuanzi to Aiwanlou. It was originally a place for Su Jin, but she was weak and wanted to rest. Even she could not attend the opening ceremony of Qinlou, so I used it to greet friends in the world.

As soon as they sent the two away, they saw Song Tingzhi and Li Kuanren who were walking with a smile.

The young master is really making innovations! Song Tingzhi looked at the gate of Qin Tower. The tall qi-wind lantern array on the door beam formed a big Qin character, with bright and bright tiles that were eye-catching.

At night, I'm afraid the whole street will be illuminated by your "Qin" lamp

The opening ceremony of Song Lao Jiyuezhai is unique! I smiled and said, this is not a compliment. Jiyuezhai's management methods always surprise me a little

While talking, several other big men from the business circles in the city arrived. They all participated in the auction at Jiyuezhai and were very familiar with each other. Song Tingzhi smiled and said to a wealthy businessman named Gong: Brother Gong, how about the pair of gem earrings you bought last time?

But the other person said that he hadn't seen him, and asked who he gave him to. Everyone burst into laughter.

Ah, I thought that when I was as old as a young man, I never paid any money for the night. Now I can't do it anymore, I have to use gold, silver and jewelry to please those little girls. The palace mocked himself.

Sometimes it’s not enough to make a lot of money. Just like Sun Miao, I couldn’t invite her several times, but it was not as powerful as the eldest young man. I heard that she would live in Qinlou for a long time. Isn’t that true?

So everyone talked about Sun Miaolai, not about her piano skills, but was very concerned about her chances of opening and receiving guests. However, the discussion was unanimously optimistic about me, saying that the brothel loves money and the sister loves beauty. I took both of them, and it was Sun Miao's best choice for Congliang.

I was so amused and laughed at for a moment, so I bowed and said, "You guys, please come in and invite them," and sent these old guys to Qinlou.

But someone called me behind me: Young Master, don't be fine! When I looked back, the thin body of Murong Zhongda, the butler of Murong Family, and the horse face of Han Yuanji, the head of the Libye Villa, came into my eyes.

I cried in my heart, I have never posted a post to other sects in the world, why are these two people coming? But I immediately thought of Qiu Hongsheng. He should have a convenient and fast contact channel with the Murong family, and Han Yuanji openly walked with him. Perhaps Libye Villa has reached some kind of tacit agreement with the Murong family.

Murong, Murong Zhongda and I were friends who were picked up in Yue Pavilion, so we no longer had any scruples when we spoke: Why are you doing here? Is there any invitation?... No, I'm sorry, I won't let you enter

Young Master, I am Su Jin’s agent, I don’t know if this reason is sufficient? Murong Zhongda said with a smile

Inadequate! When I mentioned Su Jin, my expression suddenly became dark: Are you fucking listening to Yuege blinds?

I cursed in my heart, but I couldn't say that there was any pain. I couldn't say that Su Jin kicked me and got along with another man, and was pregnant with that man's seed. In that way, how could I have my face?

I felt so uncomfortable that I looked at Murong Zhongda more and more disliked, but he looked confident, as if he was confident, so I had to turn my eyes to Han Won Ji on the side

Young Master, I, Old Han, came to give me something. As he said, he untied a corner of the wrapping behind his back. I had already seen that it was a girl wearing a pair of armor. The needlework was extremely complicated and detailed. I recognized it at a glance that it was sewn by Xiao Xiao's mother. Every time Xiao Xiao returned to the farewell villa, he always brought back such a gift as a pass. I really couldn't refuse.

Ai Wanlou! I ordered the girl angrily and turned around and ignored the two of them.

In a blink of an eye, Gao Qi stood there blankly, looking stupid, as if shocked by these rare old men on weekdays. He cursed him in secretly and kicked him up, saying: Xiao Qi, bring me some iced sour plum soup, his grandmother, this job is really not done by humans.

Gao Qi unexpectedly didn't move, and his face showed an obsessive look. Even if he saw Wuxia, Sun Miao never appeared when he saw this. I suddenly realized that Wei Rou had arrived.

Just like an invisible hand covering everyone's mouths one by one, the noisy sounds on the street gradually disappeared from east to west, until the whole street was silent, and the sound of footsteps gradually approaching was particularly clear

Murong Zhongda and Han Won-ji also seemed to notice something strange around them, and their steps stopped.

Brother Qi, Brother Gong, Brother Tang, Master Mu Chan, Fairy Wei, I have lost my wish and wish to forgive me!

I turned around and said loudly, the sound of the Buddhist lion roaring like the sound of nature, echoing for a long time in the quiet street.

The people who came were the four masters of the martial arts world and Wei Rou. The extraordinary momentum of the five people made the pedestrians on the street give way out one road, and in a blink of an eye, they had already walked five feet away from me.

Qi Xiaotian, who was walking in the front, bowed and smiled: Qin Tower has opened, we are here to congratulate the young master!

The whole street seemed to come alive, and the sound of discussion suddenly started

What a handsome person, it’s not in vain to marry such a man!

Dude, you pinch me hard... Hey, it really hurts Ah! I, I'm really not dreaming, this little lady is really a human being? She, isn't she a god?

Qin Lou is really powerful, how could he find such a fairy-like figure? No, if I want to make money, I must make money, make a lot of money...

Hey, man, you can make money, but please can you pull your stolen hands out of my pocket!

Boss, I admire you so much. You are like the shining sun, bringing light to the earth...

At some point, Mr. Shen from Songjiang stood beside me, looking ahead and muttering to myself

Did he talk about me? I think that line was said to Wei Rou no matter how much I think that line was said to him.

Just like all men, Mr. Shen's eyes fell on Wei Rou. She was dressed in white, as graceful as a terrifying geese, as gentle as a dragon, as if she was a god. She was still so calm under the eyes of everyone.

And the girls' eyes were extremely hot, as if they were about to swallow Qi Xiaotian and others alive.

But the people on the street didn’t know the origin of Qi Xiaotian, Wei Rou and others. But Murong Zhongda’s low scream came from behind me: Wei Rou? The Fourth Master of Wulin?!

Qi Xiaotian's eyes also crossed my shoulders at this moment. He smiled slightly and bowed and said: Xiaotian has met General Manager Murong, General Manager Han

Facing his almost semi-public rival, Murong Family, Qi Xiaotian showed good demeanor, but Gong Nan's face clearly showed a hint of hostility. Wei Rou and Mu Chan both smiled slightly, and Tang Sanzang said even more: The two housekeepers are so good news!

I don’t know if there is any other meaning in Tang Sanzang’s words, but since I met both times, I simply revealed my relationship with the Murong family. If it was concealed, it would make Dajiang League suspicious, and I smiled and said: Brother Tang, you don’t know. Uncle Murong is also the chief manager of Tingyue Pavilion in Yangzhou! I am old friends. This time Tingyue Pavilion deliberately gave Ji Xiaoxian to me, and I support Qinlou more!

Everyone laughed, but there was a hint of surprise hidden in their laughter. It seemed that no one expected that I would be so open and honest. Tang Sanzang narrowed his eyes and said softly: Tell the friend you made in Yue Pavilion, you are so honest.

As he said that, he glanced at Wei Rou intentionally or unintentionally

The fucking world has long described me as a thief who will be impulsive when he sees a sow. If I don’t be honest, it’s useless! I cursed in my heart, but there was a bright smile on my face. At this moment, a shout came from Youfenglaiyi Pavilion.

The auspicious time has come!

close the door!

I finally got to the end. With my silence, the heavy vermilion gate of Qinlou closed with a loud sound, and suddenly turned Qinlou into a paradise isolated from the world.

Amid the deafening sound of firecrackers, I took Qi Xiaotian, Wei Rou and others to Aiwanlou with me, and I walked towards Aiwanlou.

After I tried to persuade and Gong Nan, I showed off my skills in my inner family, reluctantly went to Youfenglaiyi Pavilion. There, even his total of forty-six guests were enjoying the service of forty-six flower-like girls. Each guest drew a number when entering Youfenglaiyi Pavilion, and the number owner's first night power was also given to this guest by Qin Lou.

It’s time for the Prison Bai to celebrate his greetings. At the same time as Qinlou opened, Keci Hall, a charity under Liuniang and my name, also opened. So Prison Bai came to Qinlou with peace of mind. He could explain everything he could to support public welfare undertakings.

Don’t you go to the front to take a look? Gong Nan asked me curiously while walking

To be honest, I have always been annoyed by these complicated rituals. If you can, just run away. Anyway, there is a godmother over there. If Brother Gong is interested, you can go and take a look. Moreover, my building has special hospitality for guests entering Fenglaiyi Pavilion.

Seeing me showing an ambiguous smile, Gong Nan knew that it was not a good thing, so he stopped asking. However, Tang Sanzang was interested and asked what special hospitality was. I said it was the girl's first night right, so he smiled.

Murong Zhongda and Han Yuanji are both old friends, so they are not surprised and feel interesting. They smiled knowingly, but the other four frowned. Qi Xiaotian said: "You are moving, I shouldn't say something bad about the opening of Qinlou, but I always feel that this move is inappropriate. Those girls are already pitiful enough to sell their smiles. Why do they still use their most precious things to trade?

I know that although Dajiang League started out by selling private salt, it accumulated virtue and did a lot of good things. However, Qi Xiaotian's question made me vaguely confused. Is he so uncommon? Is he a natural compassion for the world or acting in front of Wei Rou?

Brother Qi, I don’t like “there are wine and meat, and the road is frozen to death”, but this is the case in the world. You and I don’t have the power to change when a person’s life is threatened by death at any time, who cares whether the first night or the first night?

Life and death are small, but loss of fortune is big. Mu Chan suddenly said, Qi Xiaotian, the palace is difficult, Tang Sanzang nodded, and even Murong Zhongda and Han Yuanji seemed to agree with Mu Chan's statement. Only Wei Rou frowned slightly, and his eyes moved to the flower trees on the roadside

When discussing women's ethics in a brothel, I think it's funny. Actually, I agree with Mu Chan's words, but everyone has their own standards. Wuxia has been raped twice. Is this also considered a loss of morality?

If it were according to the popular standards of ritual preservation, Wuxia should have committed suicide long ago, but in my heart, she was as pure as an angel, but Su Jin was like a prostitute. Although she was a prostitute, it should be considered a loss of ritual for me!

If a woman has no object to keep her chastity and faces life and death, she still regards life and death as the most important thing. If she is unwilling to lose her chastity or is unable to maintain her chastity, then as a man, you must have a tolerant attitude.

I smiled and said: What is the difference between the first and the 100th time for women who are ready to sell their bodies? The so-called first night power is just a gimmick of the prostitute making a few taels of silver. If Brother Qi thinks those women are pitiful, no problem, a woman's Qin Lou costs 1,200 taels, and you can buy them home if you add 100 taels.

Haven't you become a human trafficker? Seeing that Qi Xiaotian was not easy to answer, Gong Nan interrupted the road. Qi Xiaotian also said with the flow: These girls are really pitiful, but if you buy them all, you will buy new people again. Even if you don't open Qinlou, another Qinlou will appear. You are finally a kind-hearted person. In your hands, these girls may suffer less!
