Chapter 156: In Liuyi Lane(1/3)
. "How does this tea taste?" Wang Xian asked while drinking tea.
"Some of the bitterness can be drunk." Hong Ya frowned and said, "Maybe it's because I put too much tea."
Wang Xian said with a smile: "When I heard that the tea in Yangzhou City is all rosy and I was dissatisfied with it, so I added a little more tea to make me so bitter that I couldn't speak."
Hong Ya took a sip of tea and said hesitantly: "That Xiangmanlou may not be from the Zhou family. Don't go into the wrong place at that time."
Wang Xian smiled and said, "I have to go in and take a look before I understand this."
He relaxed his body and said, "We may not be able to see the Zhou brothers when we go to the Xiangman Building, after all, this is just a brothel they opened. It still needs to wait for a while before we can see them."
He drank the tea again and said in admiration: "Although it's a little bitter, it's really endless aftertaste."
When Hong Ya saw him standing up, she also stood up and looked outside and said, "Will we go there now?"
"It's not us, but I'm here." Wang Xian smiled and said, "After all, you are a daughter's house waiting for fireworks, so you shouldn't go there to wait for me to come back here."
Hong Ya was stunned and then said, "If you don't, I'll be responsible for protecting you. If you encounter any danger, your master will definitely blame me."
Wang Xian smiled and said, "What danger can I have if I'm not going to smash their place?"
Hong Ya just shook her head and said, "If it doesn't work, it's still too dangerous if you don't have the power to tie a chicken."
"Don't underestimate me too much." Wang Xian said solemnly at this time: "Although I don't have the ability of you, I am not as good as a scholar, so don't say anything more. Just wait for me here."
Hong Ya frowned and said, "What should you do if you encounter any danger?"
Wang Xian sighed at this time and turned to look at Hong Ya and said slowly: "Miss Hong, when I hadn't met you before, I encountered many dangers, but I still lived well."
"You mean I'm meddling in other people's business?" Hong Ya immediately changed color and said, "Then why do you ask your master to let me come and protect you?"
Wang Xian said helplessly: "Where did I say you are meddling in other people's business? I just said there is no danger in going there. You are just too careless and there is a place where fireworks are all insane, and how can you get in?"
Seeing Hong Ya's silent, he said again: "I'll be back in one hour at most, you'll sit here first. If I haven't come back in one hour, you'll go and look for me?"
Hong Ya hesitated for a moment and then nodded.
Wang Xian smiled lightly and then walked downstairs to pay the tea money first before leaving the teahouse, then walked directly towards Xiangmanlou there.
Xiangmanlou is indeed the largest brothel in Yangzhou. It is very grand and very spacious outside. As soon as Wang Xian entered, a prostitute came over and said, "Young Master, come and sit in it."
The prostitute said and was about to post it over, Wang Xian immediately flashed slightly and then said in a deep voice: "I want a good room full of wine and food to go quickly."
The prostitute listened to his voice! This book was reprinted! Literature Network! The voice was very serious and he was tactful and hurried to find the madam.
"Yeah, I think it's a guest. It turns out that it's a young master who hasn't come for a long time." At this time, a very irritating voice came over Wang Xian turned his head and saw the charming middle-aged woman walking over with a smile.
"Is there any room available here?" Wang Xian ignored what the madam said and said slowly: "Take me up."
The madam hurriedly said, "Young Master, please ask the Yalou above to prepare it for you, Mr.
Wang Xian walked up and entered a elegant room and said immediately: "Set me a banquet and find a few girls who can speak."
The madam immediately responded and went downstairs.
Wang Xian sat upstairs and leaned on the chair, looking at the scenery outside. Suddenly, he thought that when he and Zhao Wanbao arrived at Huixiangyuan, Zhao Wanbao deliberately made things difficult for the madam and then started a trouble there. Now, when he thinks about it, he is all vivid in his mind, which makes Wang Xian laugh a little.
"Young Master." With a few footsteps, Wang Xian turned around and saw a few women who were dressed very explicitly. He couldn't help but frown and said, "Do you guys sing music? Can you play the piano and zither?"
The women immediately chuckled and said, "I can sing a little song, young master, do you want to listen to it?"
Wang Xian said, "Then sing and listen."
"I dreamed of walking around Wushan and lazily headed to the front of the platform to clean my old clothes. I was so haggard that I was so embarrassed to dress up the plastic surgery in the mirror." One of the women immediately began to sing some vulgar words.
"Love the soft tongue and the east wind is more charming and charming. The dream is awakened. The mud is still fragrant. The fragrance fades from the door. The clever sound is very beautiful. The willows come and go through the flowers..."
"Okay, stop singing." Wang Xian frowned and said, "Call the madam over."
The women were already very interested in singing. At this moment, they were all surprised and at a loss when they heard this.
"Didn't you hear it?" Wang Xian coughed and said, "Do you want me to call myself?"
Those women looked at me and I looked at you and finally had to walk down.
Wang Xian smiled gently. He still clearly remembered that Zhao Wanbao made things difficult for the madam before. Now he used this method as soon as he came.
"What's wrong with Young Master Yo? Are the girls not up to your taste?" The madam quickly smiled when she climbed up and said, "Then I'll change it for you immediately."
Wang Xian waved his hand and said, "I want to hear a song that is not the duck voice, please find me who can sing it!"
The madam thought about it and smiled apologized: "The young master just now are the best people we sang in Xiangmanlou, this..."
"There is only such a person in Xiangmanlou?" Wang Xian was slightly surprised and then sneered: "That's really disappointing."
The madam looked embarrassed, but she immediately thought of something and said carefully: "Originally, there were a few girls in Xiangmanlou who sang very well, but because of the military masters and girls in the city, they were called over to them."
Wang Xian was stunned and said, "Are they some soldiers?"
The madam looked around and looked extremely mysterious and said in a low voice: "Those are all high-ranking officials and generals. Now all the officers and soldiers in the city are the heads of the officers and soldiers."
Wang Xian suddenly became interested and said curiously: "Do these high-ranking officials also come to look for flowers and willows?"
"Like you, young master, they came to listen to the music." The madam smiled apologized and said, "So young master, you should take care of it or we won't be able to do it."
Wang Xian waved his hand and said, "Then forget it, you go down."
The madam was relieved and was about to go downstairs, but she heard Wang Xian say again: "Wait a minute."
"Young master, do you have any other instructions?" the madam immediately asked again, "Do you want to call another girl?"
Wang Xian said with a smile: "It's not that I suddenly thought of something. Since these high-ranking officials have come, why don't the people in charge of you Xiangmanlou go to accompany you?"
The madam was stunned and then looked at Wang Xian in surprise before laughing: "What are the words of the young master and our master are already there."
Wang Xian's heart moved but said nothing, just smiled and said, "Okay, you can find a girl who can talk about Qinse. It's good even if you can't hear the music and listen to the sound of the piano."
The madam immediately responded and then said a few more words before leaving.
Wang Xian sat here and slowly thought in his mind that the high-ranking officials seemed to be led by the officers and soldiers guarding Yangzhou. The master from Xiangmanlou came over and naturally wanted to come out to accompany the guests, but he didn't know if this was the Zhou brothers.
Just as he was thinking, he saw some people coming up here but came in to hold a banquet. Not long after, the table had already been prepared with delicious food and looked extremely rich.
Wang Xian sat on the side and drank alone before seeing two women walking in and saying to Wang Xianyifu: "Young Master."
Wang Xian turned his head and saw that the two women had plain faces but no smear. Compared to the woman who came in earlier, he didn't want to make things difficult for them, so he said bluntly: "Can you two play the piano?"
Both women nodded but heard Wang Xian say, "Then play the previous song and listen to me."
One of the women walked to the roller shutter not far away and then began to pick up the strings and play them.
When Wang Xian saw another woman standing, he smiled and said, "Sit down."
The woman politely said, "Thank you, Mr.
Wang Xian smiled slightly at this time and said, "No need to restrict you. There are many things here. If you want to eat them, you can eat them well. Also, this Huadiao wine is very delicious. Do you want to drink some?"
The woman was immediately panicked and refused: "I dare not only play the piano and not drink with others."
Wang Xian laughed and said, "I'm not asking you to drink with me but just saying that you don't have to be too rigid."
He picked up the cup and took a sip of wine, then looked over there and chuckled, "The sound of the piano is elegant but it's a bit long and a bit tired of tone."
The woman said hesitantly: "This song is added with the tune of mountains and flowing water, but it is difficult to change the tune and we are not good at it, so we can only play such a piano sound."
Wang Xian turned his head and said slowly: "I came here today and wanted to listen to the song, but I just heard the madam say that the people who sang the song in Xiangmanlou have been called away to the big city! This book is reprinted! Literature Network! I wonder if the officials have sang it or not?"
The woman was stunned and nodded and said, "Yes, those girls have all passed by, you are so unfortunate."
Wang Xianyi smiled and said, "I heard that your master has gone there on purpose?"
The woman shook her head and said, "I don't know that I just play music."
Wang Xian said with a smile: "Then you should know what your master's surname is, right?"
The woman looked at Wang Xian with a puzzled look and then said, "The name I dare not say."
"Is his surname Zhou?" Wang Xian asked slowly, "There are four people in your family who call the four generals brothers, right?"
The woman laughed and said, "Since the young master already knows, he might come over to ask me."
Wang Xian waved his hand and then smiled again, "I'll ask another question where are those who sing music?"
"It seems to be in the big yard south of Liuyi Lane." The woman said hesitantly: "There are usually people who talk about books and plays gather together there, but today I saw many soldiers running over and not long after that, the sisters who sang the song also passed."
Wang Xian said "Yes" and then drank another glass of wine before laughing: "Okay, don't play anymore."
After he said that, he stood up and took out some broken silver from his clothes and threw it on the table, saying, "This is for you two."
Before the two women could react, they saw that Wang Xian had already walked down the table but the food was full of food.
"Young Master is leaving now." The madam smiled and was still holding a piece of silver in her hand and said to Wang Xian with a smile: "Young Master, remember to come often. The girls are waiting for you."
Wang Xian smiled and then walked to the original teahouse and went straight to the second floor but saw no one.
He panicked and walked downstairs to ask the shopkeeper below, but heard the shopkeeper say, "That guy has gone out."
"How long have you been out?" Wang Xian frowned slightly. Hong Ya really made her wait here for an hour. Now she has disappeared without half an hour.
"It seems like I've just been out."
Wang Xian said "Oh" and walked out immediately.
He looked around here but could only see the people coming and going Hong Ya who were coming and going.
