    If it weren't for Zhao Laojiu's guidance, and if it weren't for the five big characters on the plaque on the high-rise building, Liu Wenyang would have been unimaginable that this quaint and elegant palace-like building in front of him was actually the famous Gold Sales Cave.  .  .  No matter how you look at it, this high-rise building looks like a feng shui treasure for celebrities and elegant people. All the gentlemen come in and out, and there is no sleazy person coming in or out. There are no red sleeves waving in the attic, but there are waves of harp and fairy music floating in the air, which makes you  When you close your eyes, you feel like you are in a beautiful building or a jade sky, high in the sky.  Seemingly seeing Liu Wenyang's doubts, Zhao Laojiu said: "Brother Liu, don't you think it's the same? Haha, anyone who sees this Chunfeng Tower for the first time will think so To be honest, this is not a place where ordinary people can do whatever they want.  Those who come in and out are not those you can just come and go casually if you have money. This building only attracts celebrities and wealthy relatives. There are many famous people who come in and out of it. I heard that even His Highness Prince Ning who was stationed in the north once visited this spring breeze.  "Lou" "Prince Ning?" Liu Wenyang couldn't help but be startled.  Zhu Quan, King of Ning, was said to be good at planning in Ming Dynasty. He had "80,000 men with armor and 8,000 soldiers with troops." When he was in Daning, he governed more than 90 cities and made great achievements in politics. His military ability was on par with Zhu Di's.  Help Zhu Di conquer the world.  His political and military capabilities are both extremely outstanding.  It is precisely because of this that Zhu Di later became emperor, and Prince Ning changed the title to Nanchang. Since then, this area of ??Jiangxi has been hereditary and can be said to be the number one royal family in the south.  But Liu Wenyang immediately wondered: "According to the imperial decree, the vassal king cannot move around casually. Why isn't Prince Ning afraid?" You know, the laws in the early Ming Dynasty were strict.  The vassal kings did not have an edict from Zhu Laoba.  You are not allowed to leave the fiefdom without permission.  In particular, you cannot go to Kyoto or other feudal princes' fiefdoms, otherwise you will be suspected of colluding with ministers and liaising with brothers.  To put it bluntly, the vassal king cannot move around casually. If you want to carry moon cakes to visit relatives on August 15th, that is forbidden!  Unless you report to Zhu Laoba and get his approval, you can travel freely with mooncakes in your arms.  Zhao Laojiu laughed and said: "Brother, you don't know something now. Ning Wang Zhu Quan is known as the 'rich and idle man'. Although he guards the north, he likes singing, dancing and entertainment the most. And because he once made great military exploits for the imperial court, His Majesty the Emperor  As a special gift, he can go to Jiangnan every year" "Hey, there are such good things!" Liu Wenyang said what was strange was that the things Zhu Hongwu gave his son were so weird that they could even be used as royal gifts when going out to play.  "Okay, brother, there's not much else to say. Today, I also benefit from your glory. Let's go to the Chunfeng Tower to see it!" Zhao Laojiu said with a smile, and he and Liu Wenyang went to the gate of the Chunfeng Tower.  .  That's the doorway.  There was a beautiful maid waiting to welcome the guests. Her appearance was gorgeous and her temperament was refined. She was not at all like the man in the moonlight, but she was as elegant as a lady.  Liu Wenyang walked over, clasped his fists and said, "Girl, please tell me, and an old friend named Liu will come to meet you!"  It must be Liu Wenyang, Mr. Liu. My master said that if you come, I will lead you up. You can come with me!" Liu Wenyang couldn't help but be startled and thought to himself, how could the Chun Shisanniang know that she is coming today?  , and he said hello to this girl and wanted to lead him up?  !  Could it be that she is also proficient in arithmetic and can pinch and count?  !  Seeing that Liu Wenyang was about to follow the maid into the Chunfeng Tower, Zhao Laojiu also wanted to follow him, but the maid turned around and said: "Mr. Zhao, there is no need. My master has told me that Mr. Liu is the only one in sight.  " Zhao Laojiu is embarrassed. His legs are neither stepping out nor retracting.  Fortunately, Liu Wenyang said: "Brother Zhao, don't worry, I will explain everything when I see Chun Shisanniang later." Zhao Laojiu then smiled calmly, cupped his fists and said, "Then I'll help you, brother!" Liu Wenyang nodded.  He turned his head and said to the little boy Mingyue: "You should wait outside for a while. I will come out after I finish my work." Mingyue responded obediently, and then said: "Don't worry, young master, I will take care of myself!" After the explanation!  After everything, Liu Wenyang turned around and followed the beautiful maid towards the Chunfeng Tower. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????)  But I saw a huge moon bead hanging on the roof of the lobby, shining like a bright moon.  The ground is covered with white jade, embedded with golden beads. The ground is carved into a lotus shape, and it looks like five lotus flowers. The petals are fresh and exquisite, and even the stamens are delicate and discernible. The antique carved jade railings around it are posted with pictures of four beauties.  Compared with the coquettish and gaudy pictures of ordinary Qinglou, these pictures of beauties are dignified and beautiful, but the eyes of those beauties are outlined with a few traces of lingering thoughts.  Such a work is definitely the work of a master of painting.  But for Liu Wenyang, he doesn't know how to appreciate these?In his opinion, this Chunfeng Tower was really strange, and it was completely different from the Qing Tower he had in mind.  In Liu Wenyang's impression, every time a building is cleared, prostitutes are drinking and having fun, and there is a lot of people, just like the Li Chun Courtyard in "The Deer and the Cauldron", where the turtle man is constantly shouting, the girls are constantly rushing to the party, and the guests are throwing money.  The whole scene was dissolute.  But in front of him, he saw several guests sitting around drinking tea and talking and laughing, while a beautiful woman was playing the flute - Liu Wenyang shook his head, but felt that these wealthy men had money and nowhere to spend it, but they were listening here.  If you really want to listen to the flute, you can just spend two dollars to buy a few musicians and go back. Why spend money here. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Winding up the stairs.  Liu Wenyang followed the beautiful maid to the second floor.  Looking at this floor, several noble-looking guests are pointing at a painting, and the person in charge of painting is a young woman with her hair loosened, like a waterfall draped over her shoulders.  At this moment, she was holding a pen in one hand and was actually doing exquisite meticulous paintings. On the wall, she sketched the beautiful peonies and the thrushes lifelike Liu Wenyang shook his head again, wondering whether this was a house clearance or an art academy?  !  Fortunately, when he went up to the third floor, a table of men and women making drinks broke his suspicions.  But I saw the pretty beauties nestling in the arms of the guests, holding up their wine glasses and teasing them in every possible way.  Those customers were not good birds, and they rubbed their hands all over the beautiful woman's body.  There were constant obscene sounds and words.  "That's right! You're obviously here to have fun. But you have to do it in such a noble manner!" Liu Wenyang breathed a sigh of relief.  Just now I was ashamed of my low-grade thoughts and dirty taste, but now I feel better, and I can be considered a like-minded person.  But Liu Wenyang immediately felt that something was wrong, because he suddenly discovered that those pretty women with wild looks were actually men disguised as women!  There is an Adam's apple on the neck.  There are big feet under the skirt.  And this laughter is too rough.  ¡°That¡¯s right, according to Liu Wenyang¡¯s ability to observe faces, he also has the power to see people.  It's enough to conclude that these guys who look like women are all the same - "pseudo-mothers"!  Liu Wenyang had just praised these guests as "like-minded", but now he felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.  You can also play here, the taste is indeed high!  In fact, Liu Wenyang didn¡¯t know that the taste of ¡°masculine style¡± was really ¡°high¡± and not something that ordinary people could afford.  In fact, since the Qin and Han Dynasties, male sex has been a special hobby of the kings and nobles. However, in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, this style gradually became popular among scholar-bureaucrats and the public, and there were many songs praising it.  During the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, the trend of male sex gradually declined.  But it flourished again in the Song Dynasty, and men openly engaged in prostitution.  Gathered at Fengyue Workshop to solicit business.  The trend of male sex declined in the Yuan Dynasty, but became popular again in the early Ming Dynasty, and was called "Hanlin Fengyue" by readers. If the local dialects are different: people in the north call it "Chao Ruru"; people in the south call it "Chao Ruru".  People in Huizhou call it "Tai Tofu"; people in Jiangxi call it "casting a brazier"; people in Ningbo call it "Shan Shan"; people in Longyou call it "Nong Ruo Cong"; people in Cixi call it "Playing with shrimps and toads"; people in Suzhou call it "playing with shrimps and toads".  "Mr. Jie" Although the words are different, the meaning is the same.  Nowadays, in the southern region of the Ming Dynasty, if the children of private families are handsome, someone will be hired by the twelfth and thirteenth emperors, and they will marry into the family and be known as "supporting the father-in-law". It can be seen that this "state" is normal, but Liu Wenyang himself has some thoughts.  Too many.  After looking at these three floors, Liu Wenyang felt that Chunfeng Yixiao Building was simply like those "high-end clubs" or "private clubs" in his previous life. No matter the decoration, facilities, or services, it was very high-end and classy.  Just when Liu Wenyang was thinking wildly, the beautiful maid who was leading the way turned back with a smile and said: "The master's room is in front, Mr. Liu can just go in by himself."  outside the dormitory.  This dormitory is located on the fourth floor of Chunfeng Building. When you open the window, you can see the clear blue lake outside and the weeping willows sprouting buds on the bank. Although there is still winter snow on the river bank, it lets you know that spring has returned to the earth.  , it¡¯s already ten minutes in early spring.  Of course, Liu Wenyang had no time to enjoy the beautiful scenery outside the window at this moment. Instead, after the beautiful maid retired, he gently opened the door of Chun Shisanniang's bedroom.  Liu Wenyang didn¡¯t understand why Chun Shisanniang wanted to meet him here. It seemed that this kind of place was not the place to discuss business.  Fortunately, Liu Wenyang has been in and out of the girl's boudoir several times, and there is not much emotional interference. It is not like what is described in those story novels, where the poor scholar first entered the daughter's boudoir and said: "I am here."  My child is trembling, my heart is trembling, I saw the big red mandarin duck making the bed.? It¡¯s hard to sleep alone with a pair of embroidered pillows!  " Of course, in Liu Wenyang's opinion, the bedroom of a big-name brand like Chun Shisanniang would never be so vulgar, with big red mandarin ducks and mandarin duck embroidered pillows. Looking around, he saw that the beams in the bedroom were made of cloud top sandalwood.  Crystal jade is used as a lamp, and pearls are used as curtains. A six-foot-wide agarwood bed is hung with a crocodile gauze tent, which is embroidered with beads and silver threads and begonia flowers. When the wind blows, it looks like a magical sea falling into the clouds.  Ordinary. There is a sapphire pillow on the couch, covered with soft silkworm ice quilt, and jade belts and quilts. At this moment, Chun Shisanniang is sitting on the couch with her maid Shiqin, and there is a table in front of them.  The chessboard had clear black and white pieces, but he was playing Go. Liu Wenyang didn't know whether he should disturb the opponent, so he crept over and coughed lightly next to Chun Shisanniang. The content was: "I."  Coming!  " Chun Shisanniang's beautiful eyes were fixed on the chessboard, holding her cheek in one jade hand without looking at him. After a moment, she picked up a chess piece with her fingers and gently placed it on the space on the chessboard.  Only then did he say "hmm" in a low voice, which meant: "I understand.  " Liu Wenyang is very depressed at the moment. He is neither standing nor sitting. Nor is it to say anything. Not to be silent is not Seeing that Chun Shisanniang is such a big name, she ignores him as if she is nothing. Liu Wenyang can't help but feel angry secretly.  , so I wandered around the room with my hands behind my back, walking and walking, looking here and there, occasionally touching here and knocking there, not thinking that I was an outsider at all.  . But she was annoyed by him wandering around, so she said: "Can you please stop wandering around?  Liu Wenyang thought to himself, you can talk, I thought you were mute, he smiled and said, "I'm just curious!"  " Chun Shisanniang said: "What are you curious about? Have you never seen a woman's boudoir?  " It was quite annoying to speak, but Liu Wenyang had long been accustomed to this girl's attitude, so he laughed and said: "I have seen it before, but I have never seen such a big, luxurious and beautiful one!  "It's okay to flatter him occasionally." Chun Shisanniang glared at him. Then she placed another piece on the chessboard and changed the subject: "Wait a moment."  Wait until I finish this game of chess.  " Liu Wenyang didn't have time to wait for this, so he moved the bench and grabbed the plate on the table. There were candied fruits for the tooth beating ceremony on the plate. He came to them, stuffed something in his mouth, and said vaguely: "You guys  Come on, I'll watch.  "With a pop, the chewed candied fruit in your mouth sprayed on the chessboard. "How can I play this?! "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"  I didn't mean it!  Liu Wenyang hurriedly cleaned it up with his sleeves. Chun Shisanniang said angrily: "You did it on purpose!"  I was going to win this game of chess!  Shi Qin also said: "Master is right, but my chess skills are not as good as yours!"  Liu Wenyang smiled and said, "How about you singing and acting?"  !  " Chun Shisanniang glanced at him with her beautiful eyes and said, "Who is acting with you?  The playful smile is nothing serious!  Liu Wenyang said: "I didn't come all the way here to be scolded Can we still talk about business?"  " Chun Shisanniang brushed the hair beside her ears with her hands, let out a chuckle like a silver bell, and said: "Talk, how can we not talk.  I originally thought that when you came here, I would need to do more things for you to improve your reputation, but I didn't expect that when you first came to the county, you killed the old master with one divination. It was really sharp!  " Liu Wenyang couldn't help being surprised and said: "How do you know?  "You have to know that this happened not long ago, how could the Chun Shisanniang know so quickly?! Are you a monster? Can you pinch her? Liu Wenyang even felt that someone had been following her, otherwise how would she know?  I have so many things going on?! Seeing Liu Wenyang¡¯s eyes widened with surprise on his face, Chun Shisanniang couldn¡¯t help but smile proudly, turned around and looked at Liu Wenyang with affectionate eyes: ¡°Don¡¯t be so beautiful.  , I will not be so concerned about you, and send people to monitor you just because there are spies from my Chunfeng Tower inside and outside this county. Wherever you go, someone will tip me off, so I  Only then do you know so much.  Liu Wenyang said with emotion: "Now I really doubt whether your Chunfeng Building is a clean building or a detailed construction camp. How can you be so well-informed?"  !  " A glimmer of light flashed in Chun Shisanniang's eyes. She didn't know whether Liu Wenyang said this casually or whether she was suspicious, so she walked to Liu Wenyang charmingly and put her jade hand gently on his shoulder.  She smiled charmingly and said: "No matter what it is, from now on you will be from our Chunfeng Tower. You do your business, and as long as I protect you, no one in Poyang County will dare to bully you!"  ¡± Liu Wenyang didn¡¯t expect Chun Shisanniang to be soHe is so worthy of me that he actually wants to accept me as his "little brother". Damn, he really thinks of himself as the thirteenth sister of Hongxing!  It's a pity that I'm not a little boy!  "Haha, Thirteenth Niang is really good at joking! I'm here to do business with you, so I'm equal, so why do I need you to take care of me?!" Chun Thirteenth Niang chuckled: "Is a 30-70 split considered equal?" Liu Wenyang  The old man's face turned red, and he felt that there was nothing these girls could not do, "Sooner or later I will ask for five-five!" Chun Shisanniang: "Then wait until you are qualified to make such a request!" Liu Wenyang: "No words.  Just a little speculation Where is my place? " Chun Shisanniang: "I will ask someone to take you there, but I hope you remember clearly that since you have come to Poyang County, you are a member of our Chunfeng Tower.  We have to think about our face before doing anything" Liu Wenyang was angry, "Don't worry, I'm afraid you Chunfeng Tower will do something wrong and destroy my golden sign!" Chun Shisanniang chuckled, "After all, we are young people.  , so uncontrollable." Liu Wenyang: "Don't laugh, you are not much older than me!" Chun Shisanniang suddenly showed a sharp look on her face, "You know, no one dares to talk to me like this.  The end is good, the lighter ones will be crippled, and the worst ones will be killed!" Liu Wenyang: "You're scaring me" But he took a step back because he suddenly felt a murderous aura coming from the other party.  Seeing Liu Wenyang's sudden vigilance, Chun Shisanniang chuckled, and the fierceness on her face suddenly turned into a charming one, and said with a smile: "I was just joking with you, to see how scared you are!" Liu Wenyang also felt that his actions just now seemed  It's a little weird, but the feeling is really scary.  It was as if the woman in front of him had turned into a monster in an instant, and now she had changed back again.  Liu Wenyang suspected that he was too sensitive, so he could only sneer and say: "Why am I afraid? I just I just have other things to discuss with you, but I don't know whether I should say it" "Other things? Giggles  "What else do you want to tell me?" Chun Shisanniang behaved herself and looked at Liu Wenyang with a smile.  Liu Wenyang waved his sleeve, okay, here comes the drama, I will discuss a serious business deal with you!  (To be continued)
