Ming politicians

() The two places in Nanjing City have always been famous throughout the country.

The first place is on the edge of the Yangtze River, commonly known as Jiangdong Tenth Building, close to the Yangtze River, divided into two rows, the first row is Danfen Building, Qingyan Building, Cui Liu Building, Meiyan Building, and the second row is Lemin Building. Tower, Juxian Tower, Zuixian Tower, Heming Tower, Acura Tower, and Gufu Tower.These buildings were all built in the early years of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang meant to spend money from merchants through the luxurious consumption here.

Later, six buildings were added successively, known as the [-]th floor of Jinling in history.

The second place is the Qinhuai River, where brothels are concentrated.

These two places are both called the Selling Gold Cave.

As long as you have money, you can eat the best food in these two places and find the best girl to accompany you.

Of course, there is another place that I have to mention, that is the Fuleyuan under the jurisdiction of Yingtianfu Jiaofang Division, that is, Leji, a government-owned brothel, and this is a bigger gold selling cave.

In the eyes of everyone in the Ming Dynasty, Nanjing is not only a companion capital, but also a place of enjoyment.

The inn where I stayed was Juxian Inn.

Seeing this name, Su Tiancheng felt a little funny. The tenth floor of Jiangdong is so famous. It seems that the inn is very good at advertising. Changing a word is thinking that it will be misunderstood. Otherwise, how can the business of the inn be so good? Get well.

Maybe it's because of the long time running around, but he's used to it. After eating, Su Tiancheng's spirit is still good.

He didn't choose to live in the official post. Although he said that the government pays for food, drink and accommodation, and he doesn't need to pay, but he brought so many subordinates with him. Before he took office, he ate and drank with public funds. It is not without money.

The climate in Nanjing is hot, which is very different from Shanxi.

"Master Su, how about I accompany you for a stroll around Nanjing City."

On the road, the relationship between Su Tiancheng and Liu Zhongji has always been very casual. Seeing that Su Tiancheng has no airs and is not particular about anything, Liu Zhongji gradually got used to it.

"Oh, where do you want to go, Nanjing is so big, if you don't have a purpose, then it won't work."

"When you come to Nanjing, of course you have to visit the Qinhuai River. During the provincial examination, I heard many people say that they all choose to travel to Nanzhili, and the Qinhuai River is a must."

Su Tiancheng looked at Liu Zhongji, not knowing what to say.

The Qinhuai River is a gold-selling cave. Going there is purely burning money. If you want to talk about piaoji, go to Fuleyuan, find a girl to solve the problem, pay the money and leave, which is much cheaper.

Thinking about it, people who go to brothels these days, unless you are a pawn to satisfy your body's desire, you must pay attention to taste. This is also a style, the so-called elegant style.

Besides, there is still a typical difference between the brothels on the Qinhuai River and the brothels hundreds of years later, and the girls are not completely concerned with money, otherwise how could there be so many brothel girls who had a real love affair with scholars? He is even willing to take out all his savings, leave the brothel, and live with the scholar.

Qinhuai Bayan, how famous is she, she is a performer but not a person, she is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, in terms of knowledge, I am afraid that she is not inferior to many scholars.

After half an hour, the carriage stopped.

Su Tiancheng and Liu Zhongji took a carriage, Su Jun, Wang Dazhi and two nursing homes took a carriage, as for Su Ertong, and other nursing homes stayed at the inn.

After getting off the car, there is a huge wooden door in front of you, covered with glazed tiles, which looks very rich. This is the so-called archway.

On the archway, there are some patterns of flowers, plants, birds and animals, which are very beautiful. From the gate of the archway, there are rows of houses. These houses are different from the houses that ordinary people live in. On each house, there are hanging There are some pink tulle and small red lanterns. It is still early at this time, so the lanterns have not yet been lit.

As for the Qinhuai River, it is temporarily invisible.

"Master Su, this is the first time I have seen such a magnificent place. I heard that after dark, the Qinhuai River is a fairyland on earth."

Su Tiancheng could only smile wryly, he didn't know whether this fairyland referred to the scenery or the people.

Go in along the archway, pass through this row of houses, and finally see the Qinhuai River.

On both sides of the Qinhuai River, there are countless brothels, and the layout of these brothels is similar.

Although it is still early, the two sides of the Qinhuai River are already very lively. Looking around, there are young people walking around, and occasionally some older people can be seen walking on both sides of the Qinhuai River, and some are sitting on the river. side.

On both sides of the Qinhuai River, there are many weeping willows, which look green. This kind of scenery is indeed attractive.

It was also the first time for Su Tiancheng to come here, and followed the crowd, walking forward slowly.

The bustards of several brothels have long noticed Su Tiancheng, but there is no one else, because Su Tiancheng's temperament is too prominent, and there are four servants behind him, who seem to be rich masters.

Walking to the door of a brothel named Wangfenglou, the bustard took the initiative to welcome her out.

"Hey, two gentlemen, come in and have a seat, the girl will accompany you to enjoy the scenery, recite poems and paint pictures."

Liu Zhongji looked at Su Tiancheng, this look was noticed by the bustard.

"You two, we have a girl who came here last year. She is very good. She has everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting."

Su Tiancheng nodded, and the bustard hurriedly led the crowd into the brothel.

Naturally, Su Tiancheng and Liu Zhongji went to the private room upstairs, while the rest were sitting downstairs.

The private room is very large, and it has a feeling of resplendent and magnificent.

"I don't know what the two young masters want from girls. All the girls here are very good..."

"Didn't mother say that a very nice girl came last year?"

The madam had a smile on her face, but she didn't leave immediately.

Su Tiancheng smiled, market economy.

"Mom, tell me, what rules does this girl from Wangfenglou have?"

The bustard looked at Su Tiancheng and smiled. This is the sign of a rich man.

"There are two types of girls here, one is for performing arts but not for sale, and the other is for serving young masters. I don't know what kind of young masters you two need."

Su Tiancheng looked at Liu Zhongji, Liu Zhongji was very knowledgeable and did not speak.

"Mom, don't say any more. What's the situation with the girl you mentioned just now?"

The bawd's face turned into a flower with a smile.

"Young master is talking about Miss Yinglian. Miss Yinglian is a performer but not herself. If you want to listen to Miss Yinglian singing, you need 50 taels of silver. There is only one hour. Miss Yinglian has another rule, that is, it depends on your mood." Now, if you are in a good mood, you can drink with the two young masters, if you are in a bad mood, please forgive me."

Su Tiancheng has been looking at the madam. The madam is too smart. After introducing Miss Ying Lian, she stopped talking. Damn, she just sings a few songs and costs 50 taels of silver for an hour. money.

At this time, even though my heart is bleeding, I can only pretend to be fat with a swollen face.

"What mother said is that it's not too expensive. It's just that this girl Yinglian has some skills. If we are not satisfied, the money will not be happy to pay."

"Young master, you are joking. This building is supported by Miss Yinglian. I don't know how many masters want to meet you. Miss Yinglian is top-notch in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Slaves say something We have arrived here, the two young masters just happened to come here early today, if you come an hour later, don't expect to see Miss Yinglian, you will introduce Miss Yinglian because you admire the talents of the two young masters."

When the madam was talking, her face was already a little ugly. Su Tian had thought that the madam was only thinking about making money, but unexpectedly she was able to get angry. Could it be that this Yinglian girl is really that extraordinary.

"Since mother said so, if we don't believe it, it would seem ignorant, so please invite Miss Yinglian to sing. Do you have to pay mother in advance for this money?"

"No, no, just give it to Miss Ying Lian. You two young masters, I have to say a few more words. Miss Ying Lian has a bit of a temper. If you are satisfied, maybe you don't want money. If you don't Satisfied, maybe 50 taels or even a hundred taels of silver, that's not unusual, if the two sons feel wronged, don't lose your temper with Miss Ying Lian, everything will be handled by slaves."

Su Tiancheng narrowed his eyes, what kind of woman, such a big name, the guests came to the brothel to have fun, but now it's good, they're going to take advantage of the girl, what's the point of this, isn't it just asking for guilt Accept, but the previous words have already been spoken, and it is impossible to go back on it.

The food and wine were served quickly, each dish was exquisite, the combination of meat and vegetables was very good, and the quantity was quite large, two people simply couldn't eat that much, the wine from Xinghua Village, this wine is from Shanxi. Wine, the price is not low.

Liu Zhongji probably had never experienced such a standard, he was a little dazed and speechless, in fact Su Tiancheng had never experienced it either, but before crossing, he hadn't seen any kind of banquet, so after seeing these dishes, he wouldn't be surprised.

"Master Su, isn't it too wasteful to spend so much money?"

Su Tiancheng felt that there was a breath of anger, and there was no place to let it out. This Liu Zhongji really didn't understand Fengyue. He came here, and the food and wine were already on the table. Why would he say such meaningless things? Wouldn't he lose his self-worth? Someone was eavesdropping outside, and I don't know what kind of ridicule will be provoked.

Besides, when I came to the brothel and called myself my lord, wouldn't this tell everyone that I was an official of the imperial court?

"Brother Liu, don't say these words. If you have wine today, you will be drunk today. Now that you are here, don't think about anything. You will call me Brother Su later."

Liu Zhongji's face turned red, of course he understood the meaning of Su Tiancheng's words.
