Hearing the sound of arrows entering the pot, the arc of Xu Qi'an's mouth widened uncontrollably. He tore off the black cloth and pointed to the gold and silver ingots on the booth:
"Haha, old man, these are all mine now."
The old Taoist glanced at him, calmly packed the gold and silver ingots, then pointed to the bodhi bracelet and small jade mirror at the top, and said with a smile:
"Young master, choose one of the two."
Xu Qi'an's tone of discussion: "Old Taoist, I don't want these, I just want money."
The old man ruthlessly refused: "Rules are rules."
After a pause, he added: "These two are rare treasures, how can they be compared with yellow and white vulgar objects, son, don't be blinded by gold and silver."
No, I just want these vulgar thingsXu Qi'an asked: "Treasures? What's the use."
"I don't know, I just know that they are waiting for someone who is destined." The old Taoist looked like a bachelor.
Xu Qi'an suspected that the old man was lying to him, but there was no evidence. Considering his inexplicable luck, he hesitated.
Treasures are not treasures, who can say for sure, silver is more affordable.
At this time, a soldier came over and said, "Young master, my master asks you to do me a favor."
Xu Qi'an turned his head and glanced at the luxurious carriage not far away, "What does your master want?"
"That string of bodhi beads." The soldier looked away from the booth and looked at Xu Qi'an: "My master is willing to give sixty taels of gold."
So it turns out that my Ou Huang Ying is hereXu Qi'an showed a warm smile on his face: "Thanks to you, we will make a deal."
He asked the soldier to pay a coin in exchange for three arrows.
The soldier said: "The master said, you can cast more times, and we will pay all the money. It doesn't matter if you fail"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Xu Qi'an who was blindfolded throwing arrows casually.
Boom, boom, boom The three arrows were thrown into the pot with precision.
The exclamation of passers-by came again.
The soldiers looked at Xu Qi'an with respectful eyes.
If once is lucky, twice means that the other party is not an ordinary person. This ordinary-looking young man is dressed as a scholar, but he is definitely a master.
The gold sixty taels is in handXu Qi'an was in an extremely happy mood. He tore off the black cloth, just in time to see the curtain of the luxurious carriage fall in the distance
I don't know what big man is sitting in the car He didn't dare to look more, turned around, and cupped his fists at the soldier: "Fortunately, it's not a disgrace."
The soldier respectfully clasped his fists in return, and then returned to the carriage. In a short time, he came over with a swollen bag of money.
Xu Qi'an took the money bag, took the jade mirror from the old Taoist, and watched the carriage leave.
He withdrew his gaze, casually put the palm-sized jade mirror into his pocket, and weighed it happily to inflate his wallet.
It weighs about three or four catties, and it is too heavy to tie around the waist.
"No, I have to exchange it for a bank note. It's too stupid to carry such a heavy gold with me"
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look back, only to find that the old Taoist priest was gone, and the booth was also cleaned up.
Xu Qi'an stood by the side of the road in silence for a long time
He went to the bank again and exchanged the gold into four bills worth one hundred taels; one bill worth fifty taels; and three silver bills worth ten taels.
Gold is not in the monetary system, so it needs to be exchanged for equivalent silver, and then the bank will issue silver notes.
The exchange ratio between gold and silver is 1:8, sixty taels of gold equals four hundred and eighty taels of silver.
Four hundred and eighty taels of silver is more than enough to slap Auntie's pretty facewhy every time I make money I can't help thinking of using silver bills to slap Auntie, the original owner's resentment towards Auntie is too strong In addition, the money can only buy a small yard in the inner city If you want to buy a big house with three entrances, don't even think about getting it if you don't have ten thousand taels of silver Xu Qi'an is a little distressed.
Regardless of whether it is a different world or a previous life, housing prices are a desperate thing.
"Four hundred and eighty taels, it should be enough to redeem a lower-grade brothel oiran, but it's not worth it.
"You see, for four hundred and eighty taels, I can take turns to visit many oirans for several months. But to redeem one oiran, not to mention exhausting the family's wealth, I have to be responsible for her food and clothing. I accidentally got pregnant Cub, another big expense.
And my current salary is only enough to support a regular wife, and I can't afford the boring life of rich people hugging each other. Besides, I will not redeem the body of a brothel girl, use the bus for private use, and be struck by lightning. "
At dusk, Xu Qi'an came to the famous Jiaofangsi in the capital, which was located in an alley.
When the lights came on, all kinds of carriages were parked outside the alley, the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras came from the yard, and there was a clear and moving singing voice.
He knew that the beautiful nightlife had begun.
Walking along the alleyway extending in all directions, the essence of culture that Xu Qi'an learned from Wang Butou emerged in Xu Qi'an's mind.
A normal brothel is a two- or three-story building, and it is quite standard with one or two other courtyards attached.
Jiaofangsi does not have this kind of high-rise building, because it is not needed, and the courtyards in this part of the alley are all Jiaofangsi.
State-owned enterprises are so rich and powerful.
There is a threshold for the Jiaofang Division, and it is not a rule that ordinary people cannot consume here, but the basic consumption of the Jiaofang Division is five taels of silver.
This is not about the sleeping girl, but the opening fee.
Five taels of silver is equivalent to the income of ordinary people for several months, and it must be a wealthy family.
Therefore, there are mainly three types of guests of Jiaofang Division:
One, wealthy gentry.
This kind of guests are the most willing to spend money, because they are of low social status on weekdays, and they have a fanatical obsession with sleeping with the female family members of prisoners.
Second, officials.
For them, the Jiaofang Division is a place for drinking tea and gatherings after get off work. As long as there is entertainment, they like to go to the Jiaofang Division.
It is worth mentioning that officials of the Ministry of Rites can prostitute themselves for nothing. Because the director of the teaching workshop is under the management of the Ministry of Rites.
Three, scholars.
This kind of person is more refined than the wealthy gentry, likes to recite poems and fight against others, and is not as difficult to serve as an official, so they are most liked by Jiaofangsi girls.
There are also three types of girls in the Jiaofang Division:
One, the female relatives of the prisoner.
This kind of woman is the worst, forced to be reduced to prostitution and bullied by others.
2. Women captured in the war.
Leaving aside, let¡¯s take the Battle of Shanhaiguan 20 years ago. Western countries and Dafeng were the victors, and they took countless women from the northern and southern borders, and filled them into the teaching workshops of various states and governments.
3. Prostitutes recruited by the Jiaofang Division.
This kind of woman volunteered to become a glorious seafood merchant, contributing to Dafeng's abalone business, and her spirit is precious.
"It's true that I live and learn forever, and Wang Butou is my teacher" Xu Qi'an sighed with emotion, and finally found the goal of this visit to the Jiaofang Division.
He stopped outside a courtyard, and the plaque on the gate read: Yingmei Xiaoge
The gate of the courtyard is open, and two bright red lanterns are hung. Inside the courtyard are plum trees with branches dotted with blooming flowers.
A sixteen or seventeen-year-old porter boy was guarding the gate of the courtyard, looking at Xu Qi'an with scrutiny.
He also has another title that everyone is familiar with.
"Yang Ling, a talented scholar in Changle County, has heard the name of Miss Fuxiang for a long time, so I came here to visit." Xu Qi'an imitated a scholar's bow, and spoke politely to the porter.
Yingmei Xiaoge is the residence of the oiran Fuxiang.
The table opening fee here is ten taels of silver, which is twice as expensive as that of ordinary yards.
There are a total of twelve oirans in Jiaofang Division, who are divided into four grades according to character, rhyme, talent and color.
Girl Fuxiang belongs to the first class, and is known as the best of poetry and qin.
"Ten taels of silver." The concierge boy who was used to seeing the old man had a cold attitude, and after collecting Xu Qi'an's money, he let him enter the yard.
Xu Qi'an was overjoyed, laughter and the sound of silk and bamboo came from the yard, and the tea play had already begun, but since the concierge guy let him in, it meant that the yard was not reserved, but individual visitors.
There are two modes for those who come out to play, one is private, and the other is individual visitors.
If it is the former, Xu Qi'an is destined to be in vain today. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
