Turbulent Times Chapter 468: The embarrassing trip to the brothel

(Thank you very much for the generous support and monthly ticket support of "Reed flute wolf smoke".)

The box that the bustard mentioned was a relatively spacious room of more than 100 square meters, facing the street. The floor was covered with clean carpets, and there was a spacious space in the middle for dancing and singing. After the old bustard led the three of them to sit down inside, she pleaded guilty and went to work.

There was a low table in front of the three of them, on which there were many dried fruits, fruits and various dishes. Pei Yuanqing and Wang Junlin sat cross-legged on the spot, and Nie Xiaoyu also sat like them.

Pei Yuanqing glanced at Nie Xiaoyu, and said sincerely: "I have been to this place before, but I always eat, drink and listen to music like today. I never stay overnight here."

Nie Xiaoyu glanced at Pei Yuanqing expressionlessly, and did not speak, but both Wang Junlin and Pei Yuanqing could feel the meaning of "explain these words to me", so there was a weird smile on Wang Junlin's face, Pei Yuanqing, on the other hand, looked embarrassed, using a smirk to cover up his embarrassment.

Fortunately at this time, several graceful figures walked in, and after saluting the three of them, they began to sing and dance.

Seeing the revealing clothes worn by these dancers, Pei Yuanqing secretly scolded the old bustard for his lack of wink, and at the same time looked at Nie Xiaoyu with some concern, and saw that the latter did not frown or show any displeasure, but instead looked curious. He watched with great interest the girls in the brothel who had already started to dance. After a while, a girl playing the piano next to her made a beautiful voice and floated out of the box.

"The slender fog makes a girl, the flying clouds express love, and the golden girl travels secretly... When the jade wind and the golden dew meet again, they will win but there are countless fairylands..."

The singing is not bad, but for Wang Junlin, who has been baptized by various wonderful performances in later generations, such singing and dancing are not very attractive. On the contrary, Nie Xiaoyu watched the whole thing very curiously and seriously singing and dancing.

At this time, under normal circumstances, it is natural to ask the girl to have fun, but with Nie Xiaoyu here, Pei Yuanqing doesn't want to, and he won't do it, but just eating and sitting is not enough!

"Please, just let me in and find a business! I promise not to affect your business. My granddaughter and I haven't eaten for a day. If we don't make any more money, we will starve to death. "

"Go and go, don't even look at this place, there are girls singing in our building, so there's no need for you to sing."

While Pei Yuanqing was wondering whether to end today's embarrassing trip to the brothel, suddenly an old man begged for mercy from outside the window, Wang Junlin turned his head and glanced through the window, but it was an old man with a girl Holding a guqin, he wanted to enter the Chunnv Building to find business, but was stopped by the servant at the entrance of the Chunnv Building.

Seeing that Nie Xiaoyu seemed to be interested in the combination of the old man and the girl, Pei Yuanqing immediately called the bustard to give some instructions, and soon the old man and the girl singing outside the downstairs door were led to their boxes.

This is a pair of grandparents who sing, the old man is dressed like an old scholar, wearing an old scholar's shirt, holding a guqin in his arms, with a vicissitudes of life on his face.

The granddaughter is about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a beautiful appearance and a little childishness. The distance between her eyes is a bit wide, and she looks a little clumsy and cute.

However, although the two people's clothes are very old and even have patches on them, they are washed extremely clean just like their people.

There was gratitude and caution in the old man's expression, but the beautiful girl showed timidity or self-pity. The two saluted silently. Performance.

The grandfather and grandson suppressed the ecstasy in their hearts, and after thanking Pei Yuanqing, they put away the money, sat quietly in the middle, raised their heads slightly, and began to perform.

A crisp and moving piano sound sounded from the old scholar's fingers, and then it continued, gurgling like running water.

What followed was the little girl's singing voice. The little girl's voice is very nice, but the pronunciation is a bit special. At the end of the sound, the tip of the tongue will roll up slightly, as if to swallow part of the syllable, but it is not disturbing. It feels ambiguous, and it won't make people feel bored and boring, but like a peerless beauty behind a half-rolled bead curtain.

Nie Xiaoyu was still expressionless, no one could see what she was thinking, but Wang Junlin and Pei Yuanqing looked at each other, neither of them expected that the grandpa and grandson who were called over at random could sing so well. Especially Pei Yuanqing has lived in Kyoto for a long time, and he has heard many famous songs, but such good songs are not rare, but they are rare. Surprised, he immersed himself in it unexpectedly, temporarily forgetting Nie Xiaoyu next to him.

Just one song, the box was quiet for a long time before the applause and admiration of Wang Junlin and Pei Yuanqing resounded. This time it was Wang Junlin who threw a silver indigo. The grandfather and grandson hurriedly got up to return the gift, and then put away the silver. The old man adjusted the strings of the piano and sang another song with the little girl before leaving.

Not long after the old man and the little girl left, the three of them also left the Chunnv Building. This was the first time that Pei Yuanqing did not spend the night here in the countless times he came to the Chunnv Building.

The three of them didn't go far when they went out, when they saw a few hooligans blocking the old man and the girl who were singing just now.

"Old man Sun, it's time to pay the protection fee."

Looking at these big men, the girl's face turned pale, and she quickly ran behind the old man in fright.

The old man's face was pale, he looked at the big man, and said in a trembling voice: "Third Master, didn't you just pay the protection fee yesterday, why..."

"Stop **** nonsense!" The big man waved his hand impatiently and said, "This is my territory. I can accept it whenever I want, and as many times as I want. If you are looking for business here, just give me money! Of course, if you don’t want to pay protection fees, you can also let your granddaughter be my concubine.”

Looking at this scene, Wang Junlin was not surprised. Even in the later generations of the so-called legal society, protection fees were collected in some places with poor public order, let alone in this feudal era where the public order was far from good.

The old man said with a bitter expression: "Third Master, it's really gone. You took all the money away yesterday, and you didn't make much money today..."

"No money, I just saw you coming out of the Chunnv Building, let me see!" The big man named San Ye forcibly grabbed the old man and started a body search.

Pei Yuanqing glanced at Nie Xiaoyu, frowned, and was about to walk over, when he saw a street patrol officer walking not far away, he stopped again, thinking that this kind of matter should be handled by the officer More appropriate.

"Mr. Zhang, what are you doing?"

Seeing the guard approaching from a distance, the man temporarily stopped what he was doing, shook his hand, and said, "Brother Ang, it's okay, you're busy with your work, I'll treat you to a drink tonight!"
