Chapter 51 Tea Circle

3days ago Xuanhuan Novels 7
Hearing the sound of arrows entering the pot, Xu Qi'an's mouth expanded uncontrollably. He pulled off the black cloth and pointed at the gold and silver ingots on the stall:

Haha, old man, these are mine.

The old Taoist looked at him, calmly wrapped the gold and silver ingots, then pointed to the Bodhi bracelet and jade mirror at the top, and said with a smile:

Young Master, choose one of two.

...Xu Qi'an's discussion tone: Old man, I don't want these, I just want money.

The old Taoist ruthlessly rejected: Rules are rules.

After a pause, he added: These two are rare treasures, and they are not comparable to those of yellow and white things. Young Master, don’t be blinded by gold and silver.

No, I just want these common things... Xu Qi'an asked: Treasure?What's the function?

The old Taoist doesn’t know, they only know that they are waiting for those who are destined to be.The old Taoist priest looked like a bachelor.

Xu Qian suspected that the old Taoist was lying to him, but there was no evidence. Considering his inexplicable luck, he was a little hesitant.

Who can say whether the treasure is not a treasure is accurate? The money is more affordable.

At this time, a soldier came over and said: This young master, my master would like to help you.

Xu Qi'an turned his head and looked at the luxurious carriage not far away. What do you master want?

The string of Bodhi beads.The soldier's eyes moved away from the stall and looked at Xu Qi'an: My master is willing to pay 60 taels of gold.

It turns out that my European Emperor should be here... Xu Qi'an showed a warm smile on his face: Thank you for your promise, make a deal.

He asked the soldier to pay a penny for three arrows.

The Master said: The master said, you can invest a few more times, and we will pay the money.It doesn't matter if it fails...

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Xu Qi'an blindfolded and threw an arrow with no means of his own hands.

Dongdongdongdongdong...Three arrows were accurately put into the pot.

The passers-by's surprise came again.

The soldiers looked at Xu Qi'an with respect.

If one is lucky, twice means that the other party is not an ordinary person. This young man who looks ordinary is dressed in a scholarly manner, but he is definitely a master.

The 60 taels of gold was received... Xu Qi'an was incredibly happy. He pulled off the black cloth and happened to see the curtain of the luxurious carriage falling down in the distance.

...I don't know what big man was sitting in the car... He didn't dare to look at it anymore, so he turned around and clasped his fists at the soldier: Fortunately, he did not humiliate his fate.

The soldier respectfully bowed his fists and returned to the carriage. After a while, he came over with a bag of bloated money bags.

Xu Qi'an took the money bag, took the jade mirror from the old Taoist, and watched the carriage leave.

He withdrew his gaze, put the jade mirror as big as a palm into his arms, and then he happily weighed the money bag.

It looks like three or four pounds, and it is too heavy to tie it around your waist.

No, I have to exchange it for silver notes. It's so stupid to carry such a heavy gold...

Thinking of this, he couldn't help looking back, but found that the old Taoist priest was missing and the stall was clean.

Xu Qi'an stood by the roadside and was silent for a long time.

……

He went to the money shop again and exchanged the gold into four silver notes with a face value of one hundred taels; one with a face value of fifty taels; and three silver notes with a face value of ten taels.

Gold is not in the monetary system, so it needs to be exchanged for equivalent silver, and then the money bank issues silver notes.

The exchange ratio between gold and silver is 1:8, and sixty taels of gold is 480 taels of silver.

If there are 480 taels of silver, it is more than enough to use my pretty face to fan my aunt... Why can't I help but think about using silver bills to fan my aunt every time I make money? The original owner's resentment towards my aunt is too strong... In addition, this money can only be bought in a small yard in the inner city... I want to buy a house that can be bought for three, but I can't take it down if I don't have ten thousand taels of silver... Xu Qi'an was a little worried.

Whether it is in another world or in the past life, housing prices are a desperate thing.

Four hundred and eighty taels, it should be enough to redeem a brothel with a lower grade, but it is not worth it.

You see, I can take turns to visit many courtesans for several months.Not only does it take away her family’s wealth, but she has to be responsible for her food, clothing and expenses.If you accidentally get pregnant, it will be another big expense.

My current salary is only enough to raise a wife, and I can't afford to live a boring life with rich people.Besides, I won’t redeem the brothel women. I’m using the public bus for personal use, and it’s thunder.

……

At dusk, Xu Qi'an came to the famous Jiaofangsi in the capital, which was in an alley.

As the lights came on, various carriages were parked outside the alley, and the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras came from the yard, and the beautiful singing voice came from the clear and moving voice.

He knew that the beautiful nightlife had begun.

Walking on the road of all directions, Xu Qi'an's mind showed the cultural essence learned from Captain Wang.

A normal brothel is a two-story or three-story building, and it is quite specifications with one or two villas.

Jiaofangsi does not have such high-rise buildings, because there is no need, all the courtyards in the alley are Jiaofangsi.

State-owned enterprises are so rich and generous.

Jiaofangsi has a threshold. It is not a rule that ordinary people cannot consume here. Instead, Jiaofangsi's basic consumption is five taels of silver.

This is not about sleeping girls, but about opening a table.

Five taels of silver are equivalent to the income of ordinary people for several months, and they still have to be wealthy families.

Therefore, there are three main types of customers in Jiaofangsi:

1. A gentry and a tycoon.

This type of customer is most willing to spend money because they have low social status on weekdays and are fanatical and persistent in sleeping prisoners and female relatives.

2. Officials.

For them, Jiaofangsi is a place to have tea and party after get off work. As long as there are social engagements, they like to walk to Jiaofangsi.

It is worth mentioning that officials from the Ministry of Rites can get free jobs.Because the Jiaofangsi is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites.

3. Scholars.

This type of people are more gentle than the gentry and tycoons. They like to recite poems and make mistakes, but they are not as difficult as being an official, so they are most loved by the girls of Jiaofangsi.

There are three types of girls in the Jiaofangsi:

1. The offender of the female family.

This type of woman is the worst, she is forced to fall into the world and be bullied.

2. The woman captured in the war.

Not to mention the distant future, take the Shanhaiguan Battle twenty years ago, where the Western countries and Dafeng were victorious countries, abducting countless women from the north and southern borders and filling them into the Jiaofangsi of each state and prefecture.

3. Prostitutes recruited by the Jiaofangsi.

It’s really about living and learning, Captain Wang is my teacher... Xu Qi'an sighed and finally found the goal of visiting the Education Office.

He stopped outside a yard, and the plaque at the gate reads: Yingmei Pavilion.

The gate of the courtyard is open, and two bright red lanterns are hanging. In the courtyard are plum trees, with branches dotted with blooming buds.

A young concierge, who was sixteen or seventeen years old, was guarding the gate of the yard, looking at Xu Qi'an with a scrutiny look.

He has another familiar name.

In Xiachangle County scholar Yang Ling, I have heard of the name of Fuxiang Girl, and I came to visit me for a long time.Xu Qi'an imitated the scholar and bowed, and spoke politely to the doorman.

Yingmei Pavilion is the residence of the courtesan Fuxiang.

The table opening fee here costs ten taels of silver, which is twice as expensive as an ordinary yard.

There are twelve courtesans in the Jiaofangsi, and they are divided into four levels according to their quality, rhyme, talent and color.

The Fuxiang Girl is the first class and is known as the best in poetry and piano.

Ten taels of silver.The young man who was used to seeing the master's concierge was cold and after taking Xu Qi'an's money, he allowed him to enter the yard.

Xu Qi'an was delighted. The laughter and the sound of silk and bamboo in the yard came. The tea circumference had already begun, but since the young man in the custodian asked him to go in, it means that the yard was not a reserved venue, but an individual customer.

There are two modes for playing, one is to book a venue and the other is to individual customers.

If it were the former, Xu Qi'an would be destined to be futile today.
