Chapter 242
If it is in Chang'an, it is up to Xiang Chong, a fourth-rank military official, whether his post can be delivered to the Chu Palace, and even if it goes to the Chu Palace, Li Ke may not necessarily pay attention to the commanding army of a local military palace.

But now that Li Ke has just arrived in Yangzhou, he has not yet gained a firm foothold in the southeast. It is the time for employing people, even if it is to buy a horse bone for a thousand dollars, and the army of Danyang Prefecture invites him, Li Ke will naturally not refuse directly.

At the end of spring and the beginning of summer, night is coming, and the lively Caisi Lane is full of flowers. Li Ke, dressed in casual clothes, accompanied Wang Xuance, Xi Junmai, Qin Huaidao and a group of royal guards, and appeared at the gate of Yanyu Building as promised.

"The governor is here, please hurry up." Li Ke had just arrived, and Xiang Chong was already waiting outside the door of Yanyu Tower, and hurried up to hold Li Ke's horse rein, and said courteously.

Xiang Chong is the commander of the Danyang Mansion, and he can be regarded as a party figure on the ground, but he is like a domestic servant when he is in front of Li Ke, and he even looks like he is enjoying it.

"Xiang Tongjun, is this the largest brothel in Yangzhou City, Yanyu Building?" Before Li Ke could speak, the little father-in-law Qin Huaidao pointed to the door plaque of Yanyumeng and asked Xiang Chong.

Xiang Chong hurriedly said: "What the young master said is exactly, this is the Yanyu Tower."

When Qin Huaidao heard this, he smiled and said, "I've heard for a long time that Yangzhou women are soft and beautiful, and they are different from me in Guanzhong. Today I want to come and see."

Xiang Chong said with a smile: "Don't worry, little father-in-law, I have made arrangements, and I will make the governor and young father-in-law satisfied tonight."

Xiang Chong said, and led Li Ke, Qin Huaidao and others into the private room upstairs.

Jianghuai is rich and rich, not inferior to Guanzhong, and the importance of Jianghuai lies in Yangzhou. Yangzhou is the most important place in Jianghuai, so it is very rich. Li Ke approached the inner hall of Yanyu Tower. It is even better than the Jade Tower in Chang'an.

"it is good!"

When Li Ke entered the room, just as a piece of music was played on the Qutai in front of the inner hall, there was a burst of applause in the main hall, including the private rooms upstairs on three sides.

Li Ke also looked up, and there was a slender, beautiful young woman in Tsing Yi standing on the stage, holding a pipa and sitting upright.

Li Ke also listened to the last part of the pipa song by the girl in Tsing Yi, and it was really good. The girl in Tsing Yi didn't look past double tenth, so it's not easy to have such a foundation at this age.

But what surprised Li Ke was far more than that. After the woman in Tsing Yi finished singing, a lot of red silk and purple silk were thrown into the inner hall below the stage, including the private room upstairs. Covered with colored silk.

A foot of red silk is priced at [-] yuan, a foot of purple silk is priced at [-] yuan, and what's more, there are some who directly throw gold and silver on it. Li Ke looked at the rewards on this stage, and it might be close to [-] yuan for a song. , and this is just an ordinary music girl.

At this moment, Li Ke knew why Yin Yun said, "Wrap a hundred thousand guan in your waist, and ride a crane down to Yangzhou". Yin Yun is also a romantic person, and the patrons of Yangzhou brothels are so rich. Is it a long-term solution to have fun in Yangzhou without a hundred thousand guan money around your waist?

"I've heard for a long time that the governor is also a master in Chang'an's pink field. I don't know how my Yangzhou lady compares to Guanzhong?" Xiang Chong led Li Ke straight up to the second floor, and picked a second-floor door facing the elegant Qutaizi. In the room, he led Li Ke to sit in the private room, pointed to the girls who came in, and asked Li Ke with a smile.

Li Ke looked at the few women who walked in lightly, and their appearance was considered good, but there was a fairy lady in front of her who was shocked by heaven and man. If these women were amazing, they would not be able to talk about it. Li Ke just smiled and said: "Women are very How can we underestimate good or bad things, it all depends on the individual.”

Li Ke's words did not set high or low, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that Li Ke was not very interested in them.

Firstly, Li Ke is well-informed. In Li Ke's eyes, these women are at most average. Secondly, Li Ke has not been in Yangzhou for a long time, and the situation has not yet opened, so he is not thinking about having fun. He is naturally interested in these things. missing,

However, Li Ke's reaction fell into the eyes of others, and there were some other meanings there.

There are rumors in Yangzhou that Li Ke has fallen in love with Immortal Lady Qin Ji in Yanyu Tower since the first encounter in the canal. At first, Xiang Chong thought that this statement might not be credible in Li Ke's identity, but seeing Li Ke's current situation, he believed it eighty percent. If this is not the case, why can't Li Ke, who is known as a romantic man, have the slightest interest in the beautiful woman in front of him?
But thinking about it, Li Ke was born in the palace, and he is a prince, so he must be used to seeing beauties like clouds, how can ordinary women catch his eyes.

Xiang Chong looked at Li Ke's indifferent face, and said with a smile: "The governor is well-informed and knowledgeable, and his vision is beyond my reach, but what I said to a certain person is not right, but"

Xiang Chong got up, poured a glass of wine for Li Ke himself, and said, "It's only a stick of incense, and it should be the time for the fairy maiden of Yanyu Tower to perform her art. At that time, His Highness will be able to feast his eyes and ears."

Xianniang is the oiran of Yanyulou, a famous beauty in Yangzhou. Of course, Li Ke also praised her very much at Li Ke's reception banquet, so Xiang Chong said this.

Listening to Xiang Chong's words, Li Ke couldn't help but think of the elegant girl in the long purple gauze dress on the canal that day.The fairy lady seemed to come into the world lightly, the fairy who fell into the dust, she was three points cold, with a touch of human fireworks, but she didn't look gaudy, giving Li Ke the feeling that she was different from other women.

Qin Huaidao had heard the name of Immortal Lady of Yanyulou for a long time. He could not sit still anymore after hearing Xiang Chongzhi's words. Qin Huaidao asked: "Why do we have to wait for such a long time? Why don't you just invite Immortal Lady over here."

Xiang Chong said with embarrassment: "This fairy is the head of the flowers in the Yanyu Tower. There has always been a rule that she only plays two songs every day at Xu time, and one of them is in this song. on the stage, and the other song is for the highest bidder."

After listening to Xiang Chong's words, Li Ke had a smile on his face.

Li Ke said: "Oh? There is such a thing?"

Xiang Chong said: "Since Xianniang first presented music in Yanyu Building a year ago, it has been such a rule, and it has rarely been broken since then."

Qin Huai said: "What kind of rule is this? Is it possible that the governor is here, and it is not worth her making an exception?"

Xiang Chong said: "If the governor wants to make an exception, it's just a matter of one sentence. It's just that the governor has something to say, and there's no need to say anything about this trip, so I haven't informed the owner of the Yanyu Building. I don't know if the governor will go. Let me know?"

Since Li Ke came here pretending to be casual, he naturally didn't want to make a fuss. Li Ke waved his hands and said, "That's not necessary. As the saying goes, guests do as they please. Since we have come to Yanyu Tower, we have followed the rules here, so what can we do? It's nothing, just wait."

As Li Ke said this, Xiang Chong's guess about himself became more and more certain.

If Li Ke hadn't been interested in Xianniang, in his capacity, why should he abide by the rules here and wait for a long time for no reason.

Xiang Chong didn't know why the owner of Yanyu Building wanted to see Li Ke, but it was also a matter of great importance to Xiang Chong to make friends with Li Ke.
