Chapter 499

While talking, the scholar sized up the woman in red. The woman should be about seventeen or eighteen years old, and she was also very beautiful. His personality was hotter. In addition, he was wearing a red dress. Can't help but think of a word, little pepper.

After hearing the scholar's words, the woman in red felt a little more joyful on her brows, but a sly look flashed in her eyes: "You scholar is quite good at talking, but don't think that you can say a few flattering words. , this girl will be confused by you."

As soon as the words fell, the woman in red suddenly drew out her long sword and stabbed at the scholar on the horse.

The scholar couldn't help but panicked, and fell off the horse while shaking, and let out a scream.

The scholar rubbed his sore buttocks aggrievedly, and said angrily, "Why is the girl teasing Xiaosheng like this?"

"Giggle!"

Seeing the scholar's grievance, the woman in red let out a series of crisp smiles like silver bells: "My mother said that the most deceptive people in the world are scholars like you. I will teach you a lesson today. In the future If you dare to coax a girl casually, this girl will definitely not let you go!"

As soon as the words fell, the woman in red stretched her posture and ran forward.

"Scholar, don't delay on the road. In half an hour, the city gate will be closed. Otherwise, you can wait to feed wolves in the wilderness!"

Hearing this, the scholar curled his lips disapprovingly, slapped the dust off his body casually, got on the horse, and thought to himself, this little girl is really a little pepper.

Yes, this scholar is Song Yan pretending to be.

Since the battle with the three holy masters, he has gained a lot. After half a month of retreat in the cottage, he went down the mountain alone and became a scholar to travel the world. After half a month, he left Yuezhou and came to Yanzhou territory.

In the past half month, he was robbed no less than ten times, but each time, he robbed the other party completely. Unexpectedly, this time the business was destroyed by that little pepper.

There is a prefectural city more than 20 miles ahead.

Even if the city gate was closed, Song Yan would not be able to stop him if he wanted to enter the city, but he still accelerated his horse and rushed to Fucheng.

After walking around the world for half a month, he has seen and heard a lot, and he has a more detailed understanding of this world.

In this world, although the imperial power is supreme, it cannot restrain the warriors in the world, especially the three holy lands, which are even more detached. Even the three great empires dare not easily offend them.

As for the nine major sects, they generally choose to cooperate with the empire.

Therefore, this world can also be said to be a world where imperial power and warriors coexist, unlike in the real world, where the government has an absolute advantage, and even warriors dare not do whatever they want, lest they be attacked by the government.

In less than half an hour, Song Yan urged his horse to arrive in front of Cangyang Fucheng.

Compared with Ningwu County, the city of Cangyang Prefecture is much higher, at least seven or eight feet tall, and it is difficult for even first-rate warriors to climb over.

Scholars still have a high status in this world. Therefore, Song Yan, who was dressed as a scholar, was not obstructed by the guards and easily entered the mansion through the city gate.

I found a high-end inn to stay.

The waiter in the life shop prepared to wash with bath water, changed into a Confucian robe, and had dinner in the shop. Song Yan planned to go sightseeing in the city.

This world has plenty of aura, and food is generally high-yielding, so the happiness index of ordinary people in this world is still relatively high. A high happiness index means that there are fewer rebels. Therefore, the law and order in the city is better, so naturally there is no so-called It's curfew.

Before he knew it, Song Yan walked in front of a brightly lit three-story building.

In front of the building, there are constant carriages and horses, which is very lively.

The three gold-plated characters of Tianxianglou fell into Song Yan's eyes, and immediately he knew what this place was. Isn't it a brothel in ancient times, but it is not called a brothel now, they have a more elegant name , called brothel.

With a move in his heart, Song Yansheng had the idea of ​​wanting to see it.

"My lord, please come in quickly."

As soon as he arrived at the door, he was greeted by an enthusiastic Mr. Gui.

Song Yan nodded and followed Mr. Gui into the room.

After entering the door, there is a huge screen, and the laughter of men and women is constantly coming from behind the screen.

Bypassing the screen, one can see a wide hall. The hall is divided into two halves. Dozens of wine tables are placed in each of the two halves. Nearly a hundred tables are almost full, but the wine tables are full of people hugging each other. men and women.

The men are naturally the guests who come to look for flowers and ask willows, and the women are the women in the brothel, but different from Song Yan's imagination, these women are dressed conservatively, and they don't show their chests or thighs, which is more like those women in the real world. Dressing is too far behind.

In the center of the hall, there is a wooden ladder leading to the second floor, and the sound of piano and other musical instruments can be heard faintly from the upstairs room.

"Sir, are you drinking flower wine? Or listening to music?" Mr. Gui asked with a bow.

"What's the difference between the two?" Song Yan asked curiously.

Mr. Gui replied: "Drinking flower wine is like in the hall. Let the girls in our building accompany you to eat and drink. The drinks are free. Ordinary girls get one tael of silver each time, and good-looking girls get two taels of silver each time. If you want to stay overnight, the fee will be calculated separately." .

As for listening to the music, you have to go to the private room upstairs, which costs five taels of silver per box. If the young master falls in love with the girl who will perform for you and intends to stay overnight, you will have to add another five taels. "

Song Yan nodded: "What about the third floor, what is the third floor?"

Mr. Turtle explained: "The third floor is occupied by the top cards of our Tianxiang Building. If you want to enter the third floor, you have to pay an entry fee of ten taels of silver. There are nine top cards in our Tianxiang Building. They will hang out in front of the door every day. It's a question, and only by answering the question can you be qualified to be the guest of the top girl."

"What if you can't answer?" Song Yan asked back.

Mr. Turtle smiled: "Master, you are the kind of talented person at first glance, why can't you answer the question? However, if you don't bother to answer the question, you can pay another 100 taels of fees, and you can also enter the room with the top card."

"You guys know how to do business, take me to the third floor!" Song Yan took out two ingots of silver and threw them to Mr. Gui.

Immediately, Mr. Gui's eyes lit up, these two ingots of silver were worth at least seventeen or eight taels, and after deducting the ten taels of entry fee, the remaining seven or eight taels would be divided between him and the building, at least three or eight taels of silver. , he became more enthusiastic: "Young master, please!"

All the way to the third floor, Song Yan saw nine rooms.

However, the signs of three rooms have already been removed. Obviously, there are already guests in those three rooms.

There are title boards hanging in front of the other six rooms, or write a poem according to the title, or couplets, or guess riddles.

Song Yan became interested and read all the questions on the six signs.

"My lord, the oiran Su Niang in our building lives in this room. It's a pity that her questions are too difficult. So far, there are no guests!" Gui Gong pointed to the largest room and introduced road.

Song Yan looked up, and the title given by the oiran was a couplet title, and the first couplet was: overlapping mountains and green hills overlapping.

But he said in his mouth: "Didn't you say that you can get in if you give a hundred taels of silver?"

Gui Gongdao: "Su Niang is different from the other eight top cards. You can only enter if you answer the questions correctly."

"I see."

Song Yan nodded, he was a learned man, and it was not difficult to match this couplet. At this moment, a young man dressed as a son came down to the third floor surrounded by two servants and a middle-aged scholar.

"Mr. Wang, it's up to you whether I can be the guest of the oiran tonight!" the young gentleman said to the middle-aged scholar with a look of longing.
