Tongzhuang

When the shopkeeper walked into the kitchen again, I beat him and said, "You don't have to say anything!"

The shopkeeper first smiled mysteriously, and then looked embarrassed: "The guest said that he wants to see you."

"Don't go!" I have learned from the past, so I don't care about him.

The shopkeeper stroked his beard leisurely, "The guests this time are different from last time."

"Not Qi Feng?"

"No."

"Not from Tongzhuang either?"

"No."

"Really not?" I really had enough of his tricks.

"I promise."

You promise to be a fart!But I was still shaken.After all, the shopkeeper treats me well, what kind of pretensions should I use to talk about the conditions?We should do our best for Piaoxianglou! "I'll go. Wait, I'll wash my face first!" After the last time, this time I don't want to disgust the guests with my dirty face.

"You feel very smart, kid!" The shopkeeper suddenly smiled at me ambiguously. "I know it's a woman this time."

woman?After washing my face, I walked upstairs suspiciously, only to hear the shopkeeper say in a courteous tone I had never heard before: "Miss Ruige, he is here!"

My eyes lit up.A glamorous girl turned to me and smiled generously at me.Miss Ji is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, and the girl in front of me is not far behind.She is very beautiful, that kind of beauty is completely different from Ji Liang.Miss Ji is like a lotus in the water, beautiful and quiet, and she can only be watched from a distance; while she is like a rhododendron in full bloom, bright and enthusiastic.

"Are you Han Chun?" The clear and pleasant voice sounded brightly.

I have heard this sentence no less than a hundred times, to the point of vomiting.However, judging from her tone of voice, it was not annoying at all.

"Oh, I'm just..."

"This is Miss Ruige from Zhanchun Tower!" The shopkeeper's face was full of spring, with a smile on his face, and he introduced enthusiastically, "Ms. Ruige is famous all over Jianghuai. The song moved Yingzhou City, and at the age of 12, she became an oiran that no one knew!... Although the girl Ruige came from a worldly background, she was pure and pure. She was only willing to drink and play the piano, and she always guarded herself like a jade..."

"The shopkeeper Qin knows Miss Ruige very well, so careful!" A guest laughed at the table.

"That's right, do you often go shopping in Zhanchun Building?" Someone continued to laugh.

The shopkeeper's old face turned red, he flicked his sleeves, and went on talking nonsense.

I know that Zhanchun Tower is the largest brothel in Yingzhou City. At this moment, facing the beauty of the oiran, I feel a little at a loss, "Miss Ruige, come to me..."

"I've wanted to see you for a long time!" She didn't hide her excitement, "It's a pity that I went to Mr. Liu's residence to perform and celebrate my birthday last month, and I just came back now!"

I was flattered and confused, and was about to ask again, when she looked around: "... Is there a private room here? I have something to tell you."

I followed her gaze, only to realize that the eyes of all the men in the room were glued to her, several pairs of chopsticks were caught empty, and many dishes fell on their clothes.

We are full every day, private rooms are available, they are already full, I thought about it, "There is no one in the backyard, it is very clean."

"Okay, let's go!"

I said embarrassedly: "But... there is no place to sit, I am so wronged girl..."

"It's okay, just go to the backyard!" Rui Ge said cheerfully.

I have a good impression of Rui Ge, she is a high-ranking oiran, she is straightforward, and she doesn't look down on others.If she doesn't dislike me as a poor boy, I will definitely make her my friend.

"Miss Ruige," the backyard was in a mess, I was afraid she couldn't bear it, and was about to discuss changing the place, Ruige said: "Don't be a girl, call me Ruige! By the way, Brother Han," her beautiful black Eyes slightly fixed, thoughtful, "Tongzhuang... Uh, didn't the master of Tongzhuang make things difficult for you?"

How not!She's asking where it hurts!I said vaguely: "After all, it took some trouble."

I don't want her to say directly: "You rejected the beauty, how will they deal with you?"

I was taken aback, how did she know so clearly?I haven't even talked about the shopkeeper's experience in Tongzhuang. Where did Ruige know about it?

She looked at me expectantly, and I didn't hide anything, but with embarrassment, I told what happened in Tongzhuang.During the process, Rui Ge was not surprised, but nodded from time to time.

At the end, she suddenly asked: "Brother Han, if they want to kill you, is it worth dying for a mere few dozen taels of silver? If you really die, don't you regret it?"

Speaking of it, I was really scared, maybe I just couldn’t swallow that breath at the time, if it is now... "If I really die, I will definitely regret it. But, haha," I smiled, "I don’t believe they dare to kill people, Murder is a capital crime." It is not worth it for them to be charged with murder for dozens of taels!

Rui Ge smiled and shook his head: "The law of Daning does not allow cheating. If you don't believe Brother Han, you will suffer more times."

She continued: "To be honest, I know something about Tongzhuang. I went to Tongzhuang...to help them." At this point, she blushed, and her clear voice became quieter. "Tongzhuang will hire some women to approach debtors. Many girls in our building have been there. Tongzhuang will pay us a lot for doing this, and we won't be taken advantage of... As long as those creditors dare to touch their hands , people who have ambushed in the village will appear, and then they will catch the thieves..."

I opened my mouth and couldn't speak.Such a beautiful and generous girl is actually Tong Zhuang's accomplice! "Miss Ruige, you..."

Ruige was anxious, and quickly explained: "Brother Han, I know it's not good to do this... But our sisters come from rich backgrounds, acting in a play is better than receiving guests, and you don't have to be angry with your mother..."

I understand what Rui Ge said, I sympathize with those girls who are forced to make ends meet, but... "Didn't you not accept customers?" I asked boldly.I remember that she was a showman but not a person.

I asked abruptly, but Rui Ge was not angry, he just pouted his mouth, "I don't accept guests, but it's also annoying to accompany drinks with a forced face... Besides, I'm also curious, so I promised once... Han Brother, are you angry? When we came to Tongzhuang, we only showed our loyalty, Tongzhuang did the rest, besides, those lecherous people are not good things!" She looked into my eyes.

Facing her eloquence, I couldn't help stammering, eager to explain the truth: "But, but, you do such a thing...you are helping Tongzhuang to harm people! You..." I am too wronged to be framed. Clear.

Ruige blushed, and said dissatisfied: "Where did I hurt someone? Don't talk nonsense! Think about it, even if we didn't plot against him, shouldn't they beat the girl? It's okay to say they are thieves What's wrong!"

Hearing the word "scheming", I was even more angry, and said angrily: "Miss Tongzhuang can deceive others by herself, Qi Feng doesn't even care about her own sister, such a despicable person, you still go help him!"

Rui Ge was taken aback, looked at me, "What sister?"

"That's what I met that night!" The more I said, the more irritable I became. "The owner's younger sister came to plead in person. In order to make people feel sorry for her, she didn't care about her identity! She didn't care about the difference between men and women!"

Rigo burst out laughing. "Brother Han, that's not Master Qi's sister..." She took out her silk handkerchief and covered her mouth with a smile for a long time, until she bent down, and then said to me, "Xiao Luan is a sister in our building. I want to be nice, and she told me all about it. You made her very angry that night!"

"She—is she also a girl hired by Tongzhuang?"

"Of course. Qi Feng doesn't have a younger sister at all. Most of the women hired by Tongzhuang come from the land of fireworks... By the way, although Xiaoluan is angry, she admires you very much. She said that after meeting so many times, you are the first one to reject her." Her man..." Rui Ge glanced at me with black and white eyes.

"Beauty tricks are just one of them. People in the world are greedy for money and lust. In the past, most of the people who failed to pay their debts were either greedy for the jewels placed by Tongzhuang, or they couldn't resist the women in front of them. There are people who don't like money and sex, that is Very few, to deal with such a person..."

"How?" I asked hastily.

"Fate." Rui Ge said decisively. "Although money is attractive, it is something outside of the body after all, but you only have one life. What is mere money in front of life? Who would do such a thing if you lose your life just to pay for it?" She glanced at me again.

My face became hot, and I thought she probably thought I was so stupid that it was unreasonable.

"Of course there are people who are not afraid of death." She continued, "But those hard bones have another weakness, they need face. This kind of person, if you want him to die, he is not afraid; but if his face is scratched, or even castrated as eunuchs, Destroying their manly dignity is more terrifying to them than death." Rui Ge said bluntly, and his clear and beautiful voice said those embarrassing words with great calmness.I was embarrassed to hear it, after all, it was in front of a big girl!

I suddenly thought of one thing. "How did Tongzhuang take them down?" There must be many powerful people who came to ask for the account. I remember that there was a disciple of Shaolin last time.

Rigo smiled slightly. "Of course there is a way. For those who are skilled in martial arts, Tong Zhuang will light a special spice in their room in advance. After inhaling it, it will make their menstrual flow difficult... true qi stagnation or something... I don't know how to say it, in short, it is to make them unable to use their skills!"

"...Despicable!" I squeezed out two words between my teeth.

At this time, I was puzzled again, "Why is Miss Ji from Biyao Palace all right?" I remember that Miss Ji would rather die than submit, but taught the other party a lesson.

"Really?" Rui Ge frowned and shook his head, "...Then I don't know."

"Anyway, wealth, sex, fame, and fate will always be ruined by someone, and no one can escape, so in the past, people who went to Tongzhuang to ask for debts all returned empty-handed. If there is such a person, nothing can be trapped He, I really want to see him, what will he look like... Xiaoluan still laughed at me, saying that I was whimsical, but I believe there will be!" She looked at me with shining eyes, "I came back last night to get the news , came here today, I must see you!"

……

After Ruige left, I went back to the building, and the shopkeeper smiled ambiguously: "The beauty is not shallow!"

"Stop talking nonsense, old man!"

"Still talking hard! Miss Ruige is so arrogant that she doesn't even take a second look at the dignitaries. She condescends to come here today, and still says it's not a good fortune? You must have died laughing in your heart!"

"Yes yes yes, Yanfu Yanfu!" I had no choice but to agree with him.How many catties and taels do I have, can I be worthy of Miss Ruige?I have been fortunate enough to have her as a friend.Qi Feng didn't come to the door today, I made another friend, today is really a good day!

"Hey..." The shopkeeper caught up and grabbed me mysteriously, "You have to find a way to get Miss Ruige to come to our Zhongyi Building more often."

When I heard the words Zhongyilou, I couldn't help frowning. "Why?"

"I'm always out of my mind!" He gave me a reproachful look, "Didn't you see that when Miss Ruige came, there were more guests in the building, and the threshold was almost broken this afternoon, so I spent a lot of money to drink plain water I have to sit, just to see her beauty..." His small eyes were shining with excitement.

Once again I resisted the urge to slap the towel over my shoulders in his face.
