Innocent cast of white iron

I haven't been to brothels much, the implication is that I have actually been there.

For example today.

"Little Douer, do you know where we are going today?" Zhao Qi asked.Douding chuckled, "I know~ My lord is taking me to find a girl for fun~"

The corner of Zhao Qi's mouth twitched, "Where did you hear these unscrupulous things!"

After a while, Zhao Qi led the white jade-like young master to the destination.

Yihonglou is the largest brothel in the capital, and there are countless girls of all colors in it. It is a place where officials and rich people often come to play.Now the name of the emperor is Han, and there has never been a saying in Korea that the law of nature destroys human desires. Brothels and Chu houses are everywhere, and many of them are still operated by the imperial court. These are commonly called official buildings managed by the imperial court.

Since it is the place where the imperial court does business, the imperial court will naturally not cut off its own way of making money. Not only does it not prohibit officials from prostitution, but it recommends officials to go to their own homes for consumption.

"Oh~ why are you bringing your child with you when you go out to play!" Zhao Qi and Douding had just arrived at the door, when a girl came up to make love, "Come on, young master, there is a sister-in-law who is the same age as you here, come in and play, don't worry about it." Delay the business of adults!"

Douding immediately got goosebumps all over the ground, and shrank behind Zhao Qi.

The girl was pinching a handkerchief with her slender fingers, pretending to be shy, but when she was talking to Douding, she was winking at Zhao Qi who was beside her.

Zhao Qi smiled and said to her, "Your son is thin-skinned, girl, stop teasing him. Master is here today to find Boss Hua."

Then the girl smiled and said, "Oh~ so it's Boss Hua's guest! Young master, sit inside first, and I'll call Boss Hua to come over right now!" As she spoke, she took the two of them to the private room and retreated slowly.

After a while, a graceful woman walked in.I saw her wearing a water red emerald smoked sweater, a rose red floral skirt at the hem, and a white gauze printed cloak with gold trim. When she moves, she is as graceful as the wind blowing willows; A peacock is swaying in golden steps, and a little cinnabar between her eyebrows makes this woman even more charming.

This woman is the flower boss Hua Xianxian who leans on the red building, she smiled coquettishly and bowed to Zhao Qi, her soft and boneless body fell directly into Zhao Qi's arms, her shoulder straps were half down, revealing her round shoulders, "My lord, why are you free to lean on the Red Mansion today!"

Douding was stunned as he watched from the side, his eyes fixed on Huaxianxian's exposed half of her breast.There are many good-looking maids in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but they are all dressed in tight clothes, such a scene has never been seen before.

Zhao Qi, on the other hand, stretched out his arms to wrap around Hua Xianxian's waist in a calm manner, and said with a smile, "Okay, I'm here today for business." Then he pointed at Douding, "This is Douding. Put him here, you have to watch it."

Hua Xianxian covered half of her face with a kerchief, and said with a shy smile, "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely ask the most popular girl in Yihonglou to serve the young master."

Zhao Qi smiled, "Okay, don't tease him. I want you to show him how Yihonglou works."

Hua Xianxian was taken aback, and said, "Master, are you planning to hand over Yihonglou to the young master?"

Zhao Qi nodded, "That's true. The affairs of the court are unpredictable, and we must be more cautious in the future. I can't spare the energy to take care of these trivial matters, and I will leave Yihonglou to you in the future. Douding is young and knows nothing. , but he is very clever, you have to help him."

Hua Xianxian got up quickly, knelt down and bowed, "My lord, I will do my best to help you young master."

"Well, good." Zhao Qi waved his hand, signaling her to go down first, "I still have something to explain, you go down first."

"Yes."

After Hua Xianxian went down, Douding was still in a daze, and asked stupidly, "My lord, are you the one who opened this red building?"

Zhao Qi drank his tea and squinted at him, "The future is yours."

Douding hurriedly jumped off the stool and hugged his thigh, pleading, "My lord, I don't want this, I just want to follow you! I will eat less than one bowl of rice every meal in the future, and you can support me!"

Zhao Qi thought it was funny, reached out to help him up, and said softly, "Little Douer, I don't want you, but I just hope you can help me. You also know that I have a quarrel with the emperor now, although it is not to the point of tearing my skin apart. , but it is always necessary to plan early. Although you are young, you are very smart. I have no trustworthy people around me, so I can only rely on you."

Douding frowned rather distressed, "But, my lord, you don't have any other shops... I heard that brothels are run by bad guys, and the girls there are also very pitiful. I don't want to stay here."

Zhao Qi knew that he was innocent by nature, but he was confused about the future, and he didn't know what would happen, so he said, "Little Douer, you only know that these girls are pitiful, but you never thought about the benefits."

He also said, "Boss Hua just lost her father when she was young. A few years ago, her mother was also seriously ill and bedridden. There was no grass or food at home. If she didn't come here, her mother would die, and she herself would starve to death." Abandoned in a mass grave or reduced to slavery, life is nothing. Xiaodouer, you must remember that life is better than death."

Zhao Qi thought it was ridiculous to think of committing suicide before, and said, "Most of the girls who lean on the red building come from poor backgrounds, and their lives are extremely fortunate now. Whether they are freed by death or survived with difficulty, in the final analysis, these matters It's your choice."

When Douding saw that his whole body was hidden in a sad atmosphere when he spoke, he couldn't help but choked up and said, "I know, my lord, I will go to the mountain of swords and go down to the sea of ​​fire for my lord! I will die!"

Zhao Qi was amused by him, and couldn't help stroking his hair, "Good boy, what did you say to go up the mountain of swords and down to the sea of ​​fire, I'm here to show you the Hero Tomb!"

Douding couldn't help being puzzled, "What hero grave?"

"Hey, people say that peony flowers are dead, and ghosts are also romantic. Xiaodouer, you go up to the Fragrant Mountain of Beauty, but you go down to the Sea of ​​Love, why are you still so wronged?" Zhao Qi said.

Douding glanced at him and said speechlessly, "My lord, you are so rude! I have been led to ruin by you!"

"Haha."

*****

On New Year's Eve, the streets and alleys are decorated with lights and festoons, and the passers-by are beaming with joy and talking, and even the poor put on new clothes early today to welcome the New Year tomorrow.

There is a family going back and forth to play, couples with children, relatives and friends in small groups, or girls and young ladies walking between the pavements with their servants.This was Zhao Qi's first year since his rebirth. In previous years, he stayed in the palace with the little emperor, but this year was different. He had nothing important to do, so he took Dou Ding Cui'er and a few out for a stroll.

Tweety is sixteen or seventeen years old this year, exactly the age when girls love beauty. She ran around and bought a lot of jewelry and rouge with her savings, and she was very happy.Douding has been focusing on snacks for ten years.

Wang Fu followed Zhao Qi, as if he was not interested in these things.

Zhao Qi asked, "Uncle Fu, have you married yet?"

Wang Fu said, "I have never married a wife."

Zhao Qi stopped asking.I also know that there must be a lot of things in the house, and the girls are not of the right age.Zhao Qixin thought about not recruiting a few cooks of similar age, maybe it would be enough if they fell in love with each other after a long time.

Just thinking about it, I saw Liu Changqing waving at him from afar, "It's not a deer!"

Seeing that he went out alone this time, Zhao Qi couldn't help laughing, walked towards him, and said, "Why did you come out alone?"

Liu Changqing was wearing a blue robe with four-petal bamboo leaves embroidered on the hem and cuffs, which made him even more gentle and elegant.Liu Changqing knew that Zhao Qi was laughing at his grand posture during the Mid-Autumn Festival last time, so he couldn't help but blushed, and stammered, "I've already reflected on it last time..."

Zhao Qi smiled, "Why didn't the New Year's Eve have a reunion dinner with Dr. Liu at home, but came out alone?"

Liu Changqing said, "My father went out for a free clinic. I was bored at home so I went out for a walk. I didn't expect to meet you."

Zhao Qi nodded and said to Wang Fu, "Uncle Fu, take Cui'er and Xiao Douding to play, Master Liu and I will have a look around."

Wang Fu said yes, and left with two of them, leaving only a few guards to protect him.

The two walked for a while and stopped at the same place. There were many paintings on the pavement, but none of them had lyrics. The boss was probably a literati. If you buy a painting, you need to charge ten taels of silver.

Zhao Qi felt that doing business like this was really interesting, and the boss really had an idea, so he went up to ask, "Did you draw this painting yourself?"

The boss replied, "Exactly."

Zhao Qi asked, "It's just an ordinary painting. It's not made by a famous artist, and it's not made of good paper or ink. Why do you ask for ten taels of silver?"

The boss replied, "Young master, this painting is free, but if the husband ruins it, he will naturally have to compensate the villain for his psychological loss. Although this painting is worthless, the villain has spent a lot of effort."

Liu Changqing said, "If you fill it out well, but you insist on saying it's not good, what should you do?"

The boss replied, "Young master, you are joking. There are so many pairs of eyes looking at you. The villain dare not lie! The villain seems to have a plan in mind when he sees the adults. Why don't you give it a try? It is not impolite to send relatives and friends."

Liu Changqing nodded, said hello, picked a freehand landscape painting from the paintings on the table, and filled in the blank space with words.

Sorrow on the branch, worry on the branch, secretly send love to the willow tip.

Partridges don't know their grievances in life, and the wind and rain are full of flowers.

Zhao Qi secretly laughed in his heart, this number one scholar actually has someone he likes?Or crush?Isn't that what the song Xiaoxiang God means?

The boss was a literati, so of course he knew the meaning of the melancholy on the branch, he glanced at Liu Changqing again, and said, "Young master has good words and sentences, but it has nothing to do with my landscape painting."

Liu Changqing smiled and didn't speak, dipped the brush in his hand and ink, and there was a figure standing on the top of the mountain amidst the flamboyant and phoenix dancing.The side of this person facing the mountain seems to be waiting for the return of his lover, and there is a bleak autumn wind, which is the meaning of loneliness and resentment.

The boss didn't expect his landscape painting to become a boudoir's grievance, so he couldn't help being dumbfounded and dumbfounded, "Young master can draw!" He sighed again, "Young master is only five cars rich, if that's the case, I'll give this painting to you !"

Liu Changqing's painting scroll insisted on giving a few taels of silver, and then he followed Zhao Qi happily.

Zhao Qi felt puzzled, so he asked, "Changqing, since you can paint, why did you accept him?"

Liu Changqing said, "You don't know Feilu. The man just now is Zhuge Ming, the head of the four great talents in the capital. His paintings are outstanding, and those who collect them can't buy them for a hundred gold. I made it this time. Write an inscription for him!"

Zhao Qi never knew painting, so he asked, "If that's the case, why did he give the painting for free?"

Liu Changqing said, "Zhuge Ming's paintings are good, but his people are weird, and he doesn't often interact with people, so most people only know paintings but not people. I only met him once by chance. But not all literati have The problem with friends in poetry and painting? I think he must be looking for a confidant."

"You want to win him over?" Zhao Qi asked.

Liu Changqing shook his head, looked straight at Zhao Qi with water-colored eyes, and said firmly, "Feilu, I'm helping you win him over."

Zhao Qi was stunned for a moment, "Why do I recruit a painter?"

Liu Changqing shook his head and said with a smile, "Is this Zhuge Ming only good at painting? This man is full of knowledge and proficient in the method of arranging troops, he must be useful."

"In this case, why do you write that you are not looking for talents and thirsty, but you are complaining about your girlfriend?" Zhao Qi asked with a smile.

Liu Changqing blushed, but did not answer.

Knowing that he was embarrassed to say so, Zhao Qi asked again, "Since he is so famous, why haven't I heard of him?"

Only then did Liu Changqing bend his eyebrows and smile at him, "Then it's because you're short-sighted and ignorant of others."

"Oh, how dare you scold me?" Zhao Qi was dazzled by his smile, and said after a while, "Okay, it's too late for this, I'll send some guards to take you back home. .”

Liu Changqing seemed to have more to say, frowned but didn't say anything, just nodded, "I see."

Zhao Qi ordered one person behind him to escort Liu Changqing back, and another person to look for Wang Fu.
