Ding Tian's Ancient Life

"What kind of a scholar am I? I just know Braille." The tea shopkeeper couldn't close his mouth with a smile: "Children are ignorant, don't mind!"

He wanted to be polite, but his complacency couldn't be dissipated by a few polite words. Jing Tian also knew what he was like, so he clasped his fist very politely: "Tea shopkeeper, I've offended you. , you'd better keep it a secret."

"Don't worry, don't worry!" The tea shopkeeper was very talkative: "These boys are tight-lipped."

After finishing talking here, when he came out, Ding Tian counted the time: "It seems that this is the destination where the question was first circulated.

square? "

"That's not necessarily the case." Jing Tian told him: "The places where the news is transmitted the fastest are brothels, Chu houses, tea houses and gambling houses. I'll take you to the next place."

"Where is it?"

"You'll know when you go."

Jing Tian was also a good boy, everyone followed him to the front of a building in a daze, Ding Tian was dumbfounded.

The building is two stories high, and the gate is very grand. Before the lights are lit, there are rows of red lanterns, which let people know what is called "hanging red lanterns high".

The gate opens six times, which means "six six Dashun".

Just by standing at the door, one can smell a scent of fat and powder.

Between the first and second floors, there is a big signboard with red letters on a black background, with the boss's four words "Appreciation of Spring Flowers".

This is a brothel!

Ding Tian slammed his mouth, although he knew that there was such a place in ancient times, he only knew about it, but he had never been there.

Especially this place, in the very remote northwest corner of the city, Ding Tian has lived in Fucheng for more than two years, but he has never been here.

Very hesitant, to enter, or not to enter?

The two tortoises at the door nodded and bowed their heads: "Tian Tutou, I'll give you my greetings!"

"Yeah." Tian Jing took the lead to walk in: "Find a quieter room."

"Yes, yes!" One of the tortoises led the way, bent over and hunchbacked. At first glance, he really looked like a tortoise.

Ding Tian stood at the door and dawdled. As soon as he entered this place, he wanted to call "check" and ask people to show their ID cards one by one...

"What are you doing at the door?" Jing Tian turned to greet him, "Come in!"

Ding Tian had a bitter face, thinking in his heart: I hope His Royal Highness Ning Wang can understand the truth, he is here for the case!

Bite the bullet and come in, but he doesn't look sideways... There are already a lot of people coming and going here.

But there is no such thing as a prostitute in an open bellyband in his impression and calling "Master" while waving a handkerchief, and there is no particularly bold and unrestrained man who puts his arms around a woman and starts to chew.

Although there were men and women in the hall, they were all sitting on tables, as if they were chatting, and the women were not too dishonest, they just wore more flamboyant clothes.

They don't wear gold or silver, and the hairpins are mostly silk flowers, and the clothes are mostly light and thin, with a strong fragrance.

And what they went to was not a high-end private room, but a small flower hall. After being seated, Mr. Gui brought wine and braised meat.

But Jing Tian didn't move, Ding Tian looked at him, and waited for Mr. Gui to go out with a bow and bow, then Jing Tian told him in a low voice: "Drink less wine here, there are more or less ingredients in it, so the things here are usually not moving, so just drink it." Don't move, besides, we are here to ask questions, not for entertainment."

"Oh oh oh!" Ding Tian took a glance, and found that everyone was sitting upright, not looking sideways, and the guy who talked flirtatiously in private didn't even look at the woman walking back and forth over there at the moment.

As soon as they finished speaking, someone came over: "Oh! What wind brought you here?"

The person who came was a woman in her forties, with a lingering charm, wearing a dark red embroidered gold skirt and a very conspicuous emerald green blouse. The bright red peony and silk flowers that can be as big as a fist, when the person arrives, the fragrance from the whole body also arrives.

Ding Tian: "Ah Choo... Ah Choo... Ah Choo!"

The woman glanced at Ding Tian dissatisfied, and then withdrew the exaggerated smile on her face: "Catcher Tian, ​​are you here for fun, or do you have something to do?"

Bringing so many people here, if they come for entertainment, the woman feels that she will lose blood today.

But the other party is a headhunter, so if he came to ask about something, he could let the other party bleed.

"Thirteen Niangs, I'm here to ask questions, let all your people go out." Tian Jing sat without moving: "This matter is confidential."

"Which thing of yours is not confidential?" Saying so, Thirteen Niang still waved her hand, followed by Mr. Gui, who served the food and drinks, hurried out the door, and stood guard at the other end of the corridor to prevent people from passing, because After passing the corridor is the small flower hall.

"When did you start talking about the government exam questions?" Jing Tian asked her, "Give me an exact time when you've figured it out.

"

"About the exam questions?" Thirteen Niang shook her handkerchief and sat down at the table: "It was the night of nine days ago, but, as early as half a month ago, someone was inquiring about it."

"Oh?" Ding Tian and Jing Tian's eyes lit up.

This is the longest time they know about the government examination questions so far.

"Who was the first to inquire about the exam questions?"

"He's a very rich guest. That day, he ordered a matchmaker to accompany him!" Thirteen Niang's eyes rolled slightly. Although she was half-old and young, she must have been clever when she was young: "You May I ask the matchmaker?"

"Then ask her to come here." Jing Tian was not polite: "Because there is no one here, let's leave after we finish our questioning, otherwise, we will be detained in the yamen for interrogation, which will delay your business."

This is not an exaggeration at all, and the smile on Thirteen Niang's face became stiff: "Is it so serious?"

She was just probing for a while, but she didn't expect that Tian Tutou was not polite at all, leaving no room for her to change, no matter how good at dancing, there must be room for "dancing".

Any lip service will be useless when confronted with absolute strength.

Thirteen Niang went to call the matchmaker in a muffled voice.

"Who is the matchmaker?" Ding Tian felt that he had traveled to "The Romance of the West Chamber", otherwise how could there be a character "The Matchmaker"? "The matchmaker is the oiran in this building. She only needs two taels of silver for a meeting. She only serves you a cup of tea without even saying a word. If you want to chat and talk about the wind and moon, at least 20 taels of silver is not enough. I will definitely choose you; and it will only be for an hour, after the time, the next one will be." Tian Jing curled his lips: "I heard that he is still a nobleman, but he is about to sign up. Once a nobleman becomes a celebrity , at least for ten or eight years, after ten or eight years, people like us can kiss Fangze."

Ding Tian couldn't hear it: "Why bother? Good girl..."

"Don't talk nonsense." Jing Tian said: "Girls here can also be redeemed. A young lady who is an oiran is a good person and can speak well. Later, before she was listed, she was redeemed by a passing businessman and became that woman. The merchant's stepwife, although a merchant, is a serious and serious family, so he also left this pit of fire."

"She's smart." Ding Tian liked such a self-improving woman.

Finding a chance of survival in adversity is not something everyone can do.

"What are you smart about?" Jing Tian laughed: "Young lady can bend her waist, lower her head, and never look down on any guest.

People, don't show anyone's face, the matchmaker can't do it, what's the use of reciting poems and fighting against those people all day long?Those people's words are sweeter than honey, but when it's time to pay for the money, they all become iron cocks. What's wrong with the young lady trying to please the businessman?She left this heated kang and became a serious wife, and she became a good one!Like the matchmaker, Little Pepper, she looks down on peddlers, hates philistine businessmen even more, and likes quiet and elegant students. Can those students really marry her as a kiln sister?Dreaming! "

Ding Tian was hit hard: "She...why doesn't she face the reality?"

"Who knows?" Jing Tian curled his lips: "Maybe you don't know your head?"

Ding Tian: "...!!!"

It seems that Jin Buhuan learned this sentence from him, but later... Track and field learned it from Jin Buhuan.

At this time, Thirteen Niang has brought Hong Niang over.

As soon as the matchmaker appeared, it immediately caused a little commotion, after all, she was too "dazzling".

Big red embroidered shoes, half of the shoes are exposed, with red pompoms dotted on the top, trembling when walking.

A bright red gauze skirt, with large blooming peonies embroidered with peony red silk thread.

The red coat is embroidered with dancing colorful butterflies. There are double buns on the head, with a big red peony silk flower in the middle, a peony beaded sterling silver walker on one side of the head, and gold earrings in the ears. A string of pearl necklaces around the neck.

On the wrists were two pairs of gold bracelets set with rubies.

The painting is also flaming red lips, and the eyeballs are lifted, like a blooming peony flower, which is full of various styles and a little dignified.

When he entered the door, he was still holding a silk peony round fan in his hand.

He still half covered his face: "Little lady matchmaker, I have met Tian Butou."

They didn't know Ding Tian, ​​so they all saw Tian Butou, and Tian Butou was not interested in introducing them to each other, Ding Tian is a good guy

My son, the future is bright, it is better to have less contact with these Ziyao sisters; besides, this group of people has nothing to do with the Sir.

So Tian Tuotou saved the effort of the introduction, and just opened his mouth and said: "Don't pretend to be a lady with me, that fan

put it down! "

The matchmaker's hand trembled, and she took off the fan, and the aura she had just pretended was gone, but Xiaojiali's true colors were immediately exposed: "Tian catcher, tell me, what's the matter? As long as my matchmaker can do it Yes, I will definitely do it for you."

"The tone is quite loud, let me ask you, nine days ago, someone told you about the exam questions of this government exam?" Jing Tian looked at the matchmaker coldly, as if looking at a dead thing, not a beauty.

"I pick up so many customers a day, and I have too many topics to talk to. How do I know what it is? The government test? This is what I talk about the most these days." The matchmaker complained without taking a break. Leo: "The people who come to me are all young talents.

Jun, the topics they talk about are not poetry and songs, but piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. They recite poems and make pairs every day, with boundless elegance! "

Then he glanced at Ding Tian and the others: "They talked too much, I just said... Do you understand?" Very contemptuous tone, very proud eyes.

Ding Tian understood, this woman is a woman with water in her head and princess disease.

In this place, what ideals of life are still being talked about?

While you are still young, when you are popular, why don't you quickly find someone to fish yourself out of the building, and what are you doing with those poor scholars?

"Whether you understand or not is our business." Tian Jing said bluntly: "Or do you want to go to the government office?"

"You!" The matchmaker's eyes were red with grievance, her white teeth lightly pursed her red lips, and I looked pitiful: "Officials can bully people!"

? ”

Go to the government office?

This is not the past. In the past, the magistrate was the number one benefactor in each brothel and Chu hall, and he was their biggest backer.But after Du Zhifu came, he has always kept himself clean, never set foot in the brothel Chu Pavilion, and he is constantly busy every day.And don't want the money they take the initiative to send to the door, just need them to do business safely, every girl's background is clear, definitely not forging household registration, forcing girls into prostitution.

It is also stipulated that the girls in the building have to redeem themselves, and they have to make people do good.

As a result, many girls are tempted to redeem themselves and become good, who doesn't want to be good?

Some people are tempted, and some people break their cans and smash their hearts. After they are rehabilitated, where else can people like them go?What are you doing?In short, during that period of time, the Qinglou Chuguan suffered a lot.
