Chapter 51

Hearing the sound of arrows entering the pot, Xu Qi'an's curvature of his mouth widened uncontrollably. He pulled off the black cloth and pointed to the gold ingots and silver ingots on the stall:

"ha ha, Lao Dao, these are all mine."

The old Taoist took a look at him, collected the gold ingot and silver ingot calmly, then pointed to the top Bodhi bracelet and jade mirror, and said with a smile:

"childe, choose one of the two."

The tone of Xu Qian's discussion: "Lao Dao, I don't want these, I only want silver."

Lao Dao mercilessly refused: "rules are rules."

After a pause, he added: "these two are rare treasures. Can they be compared with the yellow and white ones? Don't be blinded by gold and silver."

No, I just want these vulgar things... Xu Qi'an asked: "treasure? What's the use? "

"I don't know. I only know that they are waiting for someone to be predestined." The old Taoist looks like a bachelor.

Xu Qian suspects that Lao Dao is cheating him, but he has no evidence. Considering his inexplicable luck, he hesitates.

If a treasure is not a treasure, who can say for sure that silver is good.

At this time, a Jiashi came up and said, "my master, please do me a favor."

Xu Qi'an turned his head and looked at the luxurious carriage not far away. "What does your master want?"

"That string of Bodhi beads." Jia Shi looked away from the booth and looked at Xu Qi'an: "my master is willing to give me sixty Liang gold."

It turns out that my European emperor should be here... Xu Qi'an's face showed a warm smile: "thank you for not giving up, deal."

He asked Jia Shi to pay a coin for three arrows.

Jia Shi said: "the master said, you can invest more times. We will pay for all the money. It doesn't matter if he fails... "

as soon as his voice falls, he sees Xu Qian blindfolded and throws an arrow.

Dong Dong Dong... Three arrows were put into the pot accurately.

The wonder of passers-by came again.

Jia Shi looked at Xu Qi'an with respect.

If one time is lucky, two times means that the other is not an ordinary person. This ordinary looking young man is dressed as a scholar, but he is absolutely a master.

Xu Qi'an was very happy. He pulled off the black cloth and just saw the curtain of the luxurious carriage fall down in the distance.

I don't know what big man is sitting in the car... He didn't dare to look at it more. He turned around and threw a fist at the Jiashi: "fortunately, it's not a disgrace."

The Jiashi saluted respectfully, then returned to the carriage, carrying a bag of money.

Xu Qi'an took the money bag, took the jade mirror from the old Taoist, and watched the carriage leave.

He took back his eyes, casually put the jade mirror into his arms, and then happily weighed the money.

It's about three or four Jin. It's too heavy to tie on the waist.

"No, I have to change it into a silver note. It's silly to carry such heavy gold with me..."

thinking of this, he couldn't help looking back, but found that the old Taoist was gone and the stall was clean.

Xu Qi'an stood on the side of the road, silent for a long time.

...

he went to the bank again and exchanged the gold for four banknotes with a face value of one hundred Liang, one with a face value of fifty Liang and three with a face value of ten Liang.

Gold is not in the monetary system, so it needs to be converted into equivalent silver, and then the bank issues a silver note.

The exchange ratio between gold and silver is 1:8, and 62 taels of gold is 482 taels of silver.

Four hundred eighty-two taels of silver is more than enough for fanning Auntie's pretty face. Why do you want to fan Auntie with a banknote every time you make money? The original owner's resentment for Auntie is too strong. In addition, it's estimated that the silver can only be bought in a small yard in the inner city. If you want to buy a big house with three entrances, you can't take it down without ten thousand taels of silver. Xu Qi'an is a little distressed.

Whether it is a different world or a previous life, house prices are a matter of despair.

"Four hundred eighty-two, it should be enough to redeem a lower grade brothel Huakui, but it's not cost-effective.

"You see, four hundred eighty-two, I can take turns to be lucky for many Huakui, as long as several months. To redeem herself for a Huakui, I have to be responsible for her food and clothing. It's a big expense to have a baby accidentally.

And my current salary is only enough to support a wife. I can't afford the boring life of the rich. Besides, I'm not going to redeem a brothel woman. It's for the private use of a bus

...

at dusk, Xu Qi'an came to the famous jiaofangsi in the capital, which was in an alley.

At the beginning of the Lantern Festival, all kinds of carriages stop outside the Hutong, and the sound of string and string and the moving voice of Qingyue come from the courtyard.

He knew that the beautiful nightlife had begun.

Walking on the road of hutongs extending in all directions, Xu Qi'an came up with the cultural essence learned by Constable Wang.A normal brothel is a two-story or three story building with one or two courtyards.

Jiaofangsi doesn't have such a high-rise building, because it doesn't need to be. The courtyard in the alley is jiaofangsi.

State owned enterprises are so rich and powerful.

Jiaofangsi has a threshold. The common people can't spend here. It's not a rule. It's just that jiaofangsi's basic consumption is five Liang silver.

It's not about sleeping girls, it's about opening a table.

Five liang of silver is equivalent to the income of ordinary people for several months, and it has to be a rich family.

Therefore, there are three main types of guests in the Department: first, the gentry and the tycoons.

This kind of guests are most willing to spend money, because they usually have low social status, and they have a fanatical attachment to sleeping criminals.

2、 Officials.

For them, jiaofangsi is a place for tea parties after work. As long as they have social activities, they like to go to jiaofangsi.

It is worth mentioning that officials of the Ministry of rites can go whoring for nothing. Because the Department of rites is in charge of the Department of rites.

3、 A scholar.

This kind of people are more gentle than the gentry and tycoons. They like to recite poems and make friends with each other, and they are not difficult to serve as officials. Therefore, they are most liked by the teachers.

There are also three kinds of girls in Jiaofang Department: first, they commit crimes against officials and their wives.

This kind of woman is the most miserable, forced to fall into the dust and be bullied.

2、 Women captured in the war.

In the battle of Shanhaiguan 20 years ago, the western countries and Dafeng were the victors. They abducted countless women from the north and south of Xinjiang and filled the Department of the state.

3、 A prostitute recruited by the Department of the church.

This kind of woman is willing to become a glorious seafood merchant and contribute to the abalone business of Dafeng. Her spirit is valuable.

"It's never too old to learn. Constable Wang is my teacher..." Xu Qi'an sighed and finally found the goal of this visit.

He stopped outside a courtyard, and the plaque on the gate of the courtyard said: Yingmei Pavilion

the gate of the courtyard is open, two red lanterns are hanging, and there are plum trees in the courtyard, and the branches are dotted with blooming flowers.

A 16-year-old Porter, guarding the gate of the hospital, is looking at Xu Qi'an with a scanning eye.

He has another familiar name.

"I'm Yang Ling, a scholar in Changle County. I've heard about Miss Fuxiang for a long time, so I'm here to visit her." Xu Qi'an imitates the scholar's bow and talks with the porter politely.

Yingmei Pavilion is the residence of Huakui Fuxiang.

It costs ten Liang silver to open a table here, which is twice as expensive as an ordinary courtyard.

There are 12 Huakui in Jiaofang department, which can be divided into four grades according to taste, rhyme, talent and color.

Fuxiang girl belongs to the first class, and is known as the unique poet and lute.

"Ten Liang silver." Seeing that the porter, who is used to the master, has a cold attitude, and after receiving Xu Qi'an's money, he is allowed to enter the yard.

Xu Qi'an was very happy. Laughter and the sound of silk and bamboo came from the yard. The tea party had already started. But since the porter let him in, it showed that the yard was not a private shop, but an individual.

Come out to play, divided into two modes, one is private, the other is individual.

If it is the former, Xu Qi'an is doomed to be in vain today.
