Chapter 53 The ancient escort girl
Yang Fan and Zheng Jing walked together on the streets in Bianjing City. People came and went, and the traffic was crowded and bustling, which was very lively, demonstrating the stability and prosperity under the feet of the emperor.
Zheng Jing had to introduce the people and things around Yang Fan from time to time, which made Yang Fan quickly understand the customs and customs of the capital.
Yang Fan didn't know where Zheng Jing was going to take him, but he was embarrassed to ask more questions until he entered a street full of wine but with a stronger rouge powder.
This street is mainly composed of restaurants, with similar architectural styles. There is a poem that says: "The two corridors of the north and south patios are small pavilions, with bright lights and candles shining towards the evening lights and candles, and hundreds of women with heavy makeup gather in the main corridor to wait for the call of the drinkers, looking like a god."
In addition, beautiful women with long hair and long hair were either standing at the door of the restaurant, waving to the people passing by, or sitting sideways on the fence on the second floor to flirt with the people below. Their plump flesh and tender bones, small waists and necks made the passing men burst into blood, making it difficult for them to withstand such a **.
This is the most prosperous wine alley in Bianjing. A street stretches for several miles, with dozens of restaurants, large and small, but it makes people feel like they have walked into a prostitute pedestrian street.
Yang Fan came out of Bianjing and did not understand the situation. Zheng Jing explained to him.
It turned out that since the Tang Dynasty, the society became popular in the society. By the Northern Song Dynasty, the world was getting worse and worse, and the boss of the restaurant saw that the Qinlou Chuguan had earned a lot of money, so he allowed the singers to start the "three-companion" business with great fanfare.
However, the low-end three-person girls in ordinary restaurants do not know the rhythm, do not know how to sing or dance, and are only sold for pornography, that is, they are hidden in the wine hall, and guests can enjoy the joy of the clouds and rain with the wine hall.
Those high-end restaurants and restaurants have big-name singers as escorts. These girls from all directions are young and beautiful, with light body shapes, and are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and are well-versed in their hearts. They are influenced by the upper class, but they are also influenced by important figures in the upper class. Once a restaurant or restaurant has big-name singers, the dignitaries in the court and the rich businessmen, and the rich businessmen in the society, all flock to the crowd to have banquets, have fun, and have a dream of being drunk.
Entering and leaving such high-end restaurants and restaurants not only became part of the lives of dignitaries, scholars, poets, and wealthy merchants, but also became a symbol and symbol of the officialdom and family status of the Song Dynasty.
In order to adapt to the activities of escort girls to recruit business, the major restaurants not only have luxurious decorations, carved beams, painted buildings, flying eaves and brackets, but also built high-end restaurants with pavilions in front and high platforms. The platform allows escort girls to play the piano and dance. There are dozens of elegant seats in the building, which are elegantly decorated and spacious and comfortable, attracting princes, ministers, literati and poets, and often call friends to gather here.
It became fashionable to have to accompany a girl when drinking and having a dinner together in the Northern Song Dynasty, and Zheng Jing invited Yang Fan to the largest tavern, called Lingxiao Pavilion, which is a large tavern with four floors layout.
Just listening to the name makes you feel like heaven and earth, and it is so majestic, let alone a three-story large pavilion building. Looking at the entire Bianjing, there is only one, because the folk pavilion at the foot of the emperor must not be higher than the palace, and the Lingxiao Pavilion has four floors, which has exceeded the system but can still be operated, which shows how hard the backstage is.
Yang Fan exclaimed: "This place should be expensive!"
Zheng Jing also said with envy and longing: "Yes! I heard that there is no copper coins here, only silver. The most expensive table of Han and Tang chess costs 10,000 taels of silver, and it is served with a pot of peerless wine of 500 taels of silver. It is also accompanied by famous prostitutes in the capital. It is simply a fairy-like enjoyment!"
He actually only collected silver, which was indeed extraordinary.
Yang Fan glanced at Captain Zheng with a large amount of eyes. Seeing that he was dressed in an average manner and did not look like a rich man, he said, "Captain Zheng wasn't treating me to here for a drink and entertainment, right?"
Zheng Jing was dazed, and then said embarrassedly: "Brother Yang misunderstood! My salary is not enough to buy a pot of wine inside! In addition, not everyone can enter the Lingxiao Pavilion. It is above the fifth rank and the value is above 500,000 jin of yuan to be qualified to enter!"
Yang Fan would have a misunderstanding, and it would be a little embarrassed.
However, I was a little surprised to learn that the threshold of Lingxiao Pavilion was so high, but it is not surprising to think about it carefully. This world is unequal, and there are different places where there are people. Just say that in his era, ordinary users and VIP users were scored for breaking the Internet. Ordinary users gritted their teeth and upgraded to VIPs and thought they could be equal, but the original VIP users became VVIP users, and the threshold was higher.
This is reality, Yang Fan understands, but is unwilling to accept it.
The threshold will always exist, kicking it to pieces is useless, and stepping in is the kingly way.
Looking at Lingxiao Pavilion, Yang Fan swore in his heart that sooner or later he would be qualified to go in and enjoy it.
Zheng Jing took Yang Fan to a restaurant called Ruyi, which only has a second floor layout, which is far less than the size of Lingxiao Pavilion. The entertaining maids at the door were also vulgar fans.
It was obviously not the first time Zheng Jing has been here. As soon as he arrived at the door, he flirted with several entertaining maids, and he was having a lot of fun.
The restaurant owner came out quickly and welcomed: "It turned out that Zheng Touer was here. Please come to the private room on the second floor."
After the maid brought the food and drinks, a girl named Yu Niang immediately walked in. Although she was a milf, she was very feminine and had the strongest lethality to a man of Zheng Jing. She smiled charmingly and said, "Tao Zheng hasn't come some days, but is her sister-in-law watching tightly?"
Zheng Jing immediately retorted: "Nonsense, how dare she care about me? Stop talking nonsense, call Yan'er to me quickly. In addition, I, Brother Yang, have just come to the capital, so you have to find a beautiful lady to come and treat me!"
**zi saw that Yang Fan was a scholar, so he said, "It turned out to be Mr. Yang. Since he was Zheng Touer's friend, I naturally dare not neglect it. This is why the most beautiful Rouer came to serve Mr. Yang."
Yang Fan immediately said: "Sister just asks Yan'er to come and accompany Captain Zheng, and as for Rou'er, forget it!"
It was normal for Song people to drink and find a woman to accompany him. Seeing Yang Fan refuse, Zheng Jing thought he was thin-skinned, so he insisted: "**, just go and call me. I, a little brother, are thin-skinned, the first time I have been to such an occasion."
**zi was stunned when he heard Yang Fan call her sister, and then Zheng Jing explained that he suddenly realized, and laughed and said, "Young Master Yang's words are so cute. I'll call Rou'er here."
As he said that, ** twisted his waist and raised his hips and left.
Soon, the door opened, and then the fragrant wind blew over. Two young girls dressed in thin but somewhat beautiful walked in one after another, and walked in with a smile on their faces.
One of the first women sat in Zheng Jing's arms and was so excited that they thought they were old lovers.
A young woman behind her was slowly rushing, as if she was very resistant. She was pushed by the boy behind her and staggered to Yang Fan.
**zi immediately said, "Young Master Yang, this is Rou'er. Do you think you like it?"
Yang Fan looked up helplessly and saw the young woman in front of him tall and frivolous figure, which was quite white, but why did she feel like she had seen this face somewhere?
