This is what an immortal should be like

Chapter 157 The ancient times were good, the ancient times were wonderful!

Shen Qingyou walked for a long time in tension and fear, still unable to believe the reality, until he walked out of Xiangyang City.

When we got outside the city gate, we saw the broad moat surrounding the city. We also saw that there were no modern roads in the distance, only green mountains, clear waters and fields.
After being stunned for a long time, Shen Qingyou returned to the city. In the end, the feeling of tiredness and hunger forced him to contact the people here.

With a nervous mood, Shen Qingyou first entered a soup and noodle shop. He couldn't see the words on the sign clearly, or he didn't recognize them very well, but judging from the customers inside and the aroma wafting out, it should be a place to eat.

However, it seems that people are sitting relatively low. Some sit on stools, while many people basically sit on the ground. The tables are not big, so it is relatively private.

There was a purse in my arms, with copper coins and silver in it. According to the person in my dream, it should be a considerable amount.

Shen Qingyou comforted herself like this, then walked into the shop. Immediately, a servant came over to greet her.

"Hey, sir, would you like to have a meal? Come this way, please!"

Shen Qingyou forced a smile and nodded, then followed the servant to his seat. Although he was not used to not sitting on a chair, it was not a big problem. He was also very glad that he could understand what the ancients said.

"What would you like to eat?"

"Uh, don't worry, brother, do you think this money can be used?"

Shen Qingyou opened his palm, revealing the copper coins he had prepared in advance, including several five-cent coins and several one-cent coins.

The servant took a look and smiled.

"Sir, what are you talking about? Hasn't this money been used since ancient times?"

"Oh, that's great. How much does the food here cost? Give me some delicious and filling food!"

"Okay, okay, our prices are fair, and what you have is enough for an all-you-can-eat meal."

The servant was also a man of business, he talked to Shen Qingyou for a while, and finally prepared a luxurious meal for him, which was comparable to the one in their shop, including braised meat with meat patties, broth with pickled vegetables.
Shen Qingyou might be too hungry. He had never looked down upon these things before, not to mention that the cooking level here was far inferior to that of later generations. But because of hunger and the bonus brought by the abundant spiritual energy here, he ate voraciously and enjoyed it very much.

Only after he had finished everything on the table like a whirlwind did Shen Qingyou reveal a satisfied expression.

Shen Qingyou hadn't been eating or sleeping well these days, but today she had a satisfying meal and slept well.

"Oh, sir, you eat fast, but you are full. Then, hehe, the total is thirty coins!"

"I can't do without you!"

Shen Qingyou counted the money from the purse bit by bit, counted out a small pile of fives and tens, and then took out a few copper coins and gave them to the servant.

"These are for meal money, and these are rewards for you!"

"Oh, thank you very much, sir, thank you very much, sir!"

The servant was very happy, and Shen Qingyou also showed a smile for the first time since coming here. After thinking for a while, he asked another question.

"Hey, little brother, how many copper coins can you exchange for one ounce of silver?"

"silver?"

The servant thought for a moment.

"Silver is quite expensive in the market. Sir, you want to buy some silver jewelry, right? Well, although one guan of silver used to buy one tael of silver, it's been quite unstable these past few years, so silver is even more expensive. I estimate you'll need 1,300 to 1,500 wen to buy some good quality silver!"

Although silver is often circulated as currency today, ordinary people are more accustomed to using this precious item to make jewelry, and rarely spend it directly as money.

So the servant subconsciously thought that the handsome man in front of him wanted to buy silver. After all, the silver in a big city like Xiangyang would be of better quality.

"Purity? Silver with better purity is more expensive?"

Shen Qingyou asked this question, then reached into his arms and took out a small piece of silver from his purse.

"How much is this worth?"

The servant stared at the silver in the official's hand with wide eyes, looking it up and down but not daring to reach out to take it for a closer look. But just by looking at it, he could tell a lot.

"Oh, sir, your silver. This is real snowflake silver, crystal clear. It's hard to say about this small one, but it will definitely be snapped up as soon as it appears on the market. It should be no problem to sell it for more than 1,500 coins, and the price may even be higher."

"Oh, I understand." Shen Qingyou put away the silver and left the soup noodle shop. He kept counting as he left. Ten taels of silver is not a lot. If converted into money, it would only be around ten thousand or several thousand coins. It's not enough to spend!

But perhaps because he was full, his heart felt much calmer and Shen Qingyou's mind became active.

Although more than ten thousand coins are not enough to spend, it should not be a problem to spend a period of time comfortably. With my wisdom that far exceeds that of the ancients, how can I not make it?
Oh, I forgot to ask what era this is. Never mind, I’ll find a place to live first and ask someone else later.
-
Places like inns are easy to find, and the accommodation fee is cheaper than Shen Qingyou imagined. He naturally converted the copper coins into the currency of later times. According to his usual accommodation conditions when traveling, the room would cost at least a thousand yuan per night.

However, here, Shen Qingyou found that it only cost a hundred coins to stay in the so-called upper room, so he directly booked it for three days.

At the same time, I also learned from the inn that this is Xiangyang and it is now the 15th year of Taiyuan in the Great Jin Dynasty.

Shen Qingyou knew the name Xiangyang, but had no idea about the rest. He knew about the Qin, Han, Tang and Song dynasties, but when was the fifteenth year of Taiyuan in the Jin Dynasty?

Shen Qingyou didn't dwell on this question. He at least understood that survival was his top priority. In his mind, he could naturally stand out with his wisdom, surpassing even the ancients, and thrive here. Of course, he also needed to settle down first and take steady steps.
Well, at least that’s what Shen Qingyou thought.

But that night, Shen Qingyou temporarily put aside the so-called calmness and steady progress.

At the end of the street diagonally opposite the inn, red lanterns were hung in the evening. Shen Qingyou, who originally couldn't stand the food in the inn, was naturally attracted here when she came here to look for food.

Although they were in an unfamiliar ancient time, the fragrance wafting from the building and the girls upstairs and downstairs looking at him with seductive eyes would make any normal man understand what this place was, and Shen Qingyou was no exception.

Regardless of how these women in ancient costumes look, almost all of them have graceful figures, and their light gauze shirts give Shen Qingyou a fatal sense of freshness and temptation.

When a tall and handsome man like Shen Qingyou stopped in front of the building, almost all the women who saw him fell in love with him secretly and wanted him to come in. Some of them were even bolder and came out directly to hold Shen Qingyou's arm.

At that time, Shen Qingyou only felt her scalp tingling. The girls' underwear was extremely thin, and they were brought into the brothel half-heartedly.

Shen Qingyou is not a rookie, but as a popular idol who debuted in an idol drama and benefited from the popularity of female fans, she is in the rising stage of her career. Her private life is extremely strictly controlled, and she is not allowed to have any scandals.

Not to mention going to brothels, Shen Qingyou hasn't had a real girlfriend for two or three years.

How can the occasional opportunity for release compare to the display of affection by groups of women in ancient costumes?
Of course Shen Qingyou also wanted to force herself to calm down, mainly because after entering the building, things seemed a little different from what she had expected, with mostly wine, food, singing and dancing.

But it was obvious that Shen Qingyou's initial guess was correct. The first half was full of wine, food, singing and dancing, but in the second half, some male guests took the women away and lived alone in the same room.

The discomfort here was just that, and Shen Qingyou's ears were particularly good at this time. Even with the interference of the music, she could still hear the screams of pain and excitement coming from many directions.
-
The music in the brothel gradually turned into the continuous sound of stringed instruments, and the number of people performing singing and dancing in the lobby gradually decreased.

Shen Qingyou was still sitting at the table with nervousness and excitement. She had already eaten her fill regardless of whether the food tasted good or not.

The remaining women had already performed many shows, such as dancing, singing, and playing musical instruments. They seemed to be the best in the building. Many guests had come to approach them but they were all turned down. It was obvious that they all had a certain degree of autonomy.

Shen Qingyou even vaguely understood that these beautiful and charming women were waiting for him, waiting for him to speak.

Being handsome does have its advantages!
Indeed, Shen Qingyou does have capital to be proud of. He made his debut in idol dramas relying on his face and figure. His costumes and makeup are also the masterpiece of the big crew. Everything makes him look handsome and elegant. Combined with his fair skin, the girls in the brothels naturally feel amorous.

Sometimes there is no choice, but if you can choose, who wouldn’t want it!
Finally, a woman couldn't help it, and then she danced again to get closer to Shen Qingyou, deliberately fell next to him, and fell into his arms, whispering something as an exception.

"Sir, are you going to stay here all night listening to music and watching dancing?"

Shen Qingyou couldn't bear it any longer and asked with her head down.

"which room?"

The woman smiled tenderly, raised her hand and pointed to a corner of the building not far away.

"what!"

The next moment, Shen Qingyou suddenly stood up while holding the woman, as if the weight on his body was insignificant. This caused the woman to scream. Then he carried her straight to the stairs and put her down there.

Seeing this scene, some of the women below him bit their lips, some clenched their fists, and some stamped their feet in anger. They thought that the young man liked pure and lovely girls, but they didn't know that he would take the lead after being pointed out directly!
However, Shen Qingyou also saw this scene. As if possessed by some mysterious force, he pulled the woman next to him and turned back a few steps, reaching out and grabbing the hand of the other woman, and pulled the two of them upstairs together.
Anyway, it was unlikely that Shen Qingyou would go back to the inn to sleep that night. At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind:
The ancient times were great, they were simply wonderful!
-
Shen Qingyou's excited voice and the gentle voices of the two women beside him seemed to be transmitted directly from the brothel to the outside.

There were no pedestrians on the street at this moment, and the occasional people who appeared were most likely going here.

Somewhere on the street corner, the outline of an umbrella appeared faintly, as if someone was standing in the shadow with an umbrella, and the person seemed to be looking up at the brothel.

"Humph!"

After a cold snort, the umbrella and the person faded into the shadows again.
