Chapter 221: The Beginning of the Line
Baoxianglou is very famous in Yunshan Fucheng, naturally it is not difficult to find, but the place of life is not familiar, find someone on the street to ask, the man will give you a knowing look, and the woman will naturally show disgust.
Chu Huan sat in the carriage, and when he walked to the street where Baoxianglou was located, he had already felt the lively atmosphere here, the pedestrians were like clouds, the carriage was like a carp crossing the river, and the carriage that Chu Huan rode was just one of the many carriages.
There is a low wall around the outside of Baoxiang Building, flowers and trees are colorful, and there is an elegant courtyard, the gate is open, and the red lantern is hung in front of the door, revealing a lively joy.
At the head of the door is a plaque of black lacquer gold, with the words "Baoxianglou" written on it, which seems to be written by a woman, euphemistic and delicate.
Just look at the length of the low wall in front of it, you know that this Baoxiang building covers a wide area, the carriage of the guests to the door, there are turtles in the building run up and open the curtain diligently, from the carriage down, ten are rich and noble people with brocade and silk embroidery, these guests get off the carriage, the carriage will leave by itself, find a place to rest temporarily.
The carriage was like a horse, Yingren's carriage was lined up, and when he finally arrived at the door, a turtle man had already run up to help lift the curtain, Yingren and Chu Huan got off the carriage, thought about it, and ordered the other three entourages and horsemen to find a place to rest first, but let Sun Desheng and Feng Wuma also follow together.
After all, he is a noble body, and there must always be a guard by his side.
The guests of Baoxianglou tonight are all dressed in gorgeous clothes, and many of them are wearing crowns, Yingren is very unfamiliar with this kind of place for the first time, and he seems a little nervous, Feng Wuma ignores the affairs of the world, and just follows Yingren's side, and Sun Desheng is really not bold, shrinking behind Yingren, but at this moment, he can only let Chu Huan walk in front.
Chu Huan was helpless, and led a few people forward, but there was a big man standing in front of the door, the weather was still cold, but this big man didn't know if he was really in good health or pretending to be majestic here, wearing a short shirt, he actually opened his shirt, revealing his hairy chest, and when he saw Chu Huan coming over, he asked, "How many masters?" ”
Chu Huan said: "Four! ”
"One twenty taels, four eighty taels!" The strong man smiled: "Entry silver, thank you for the reward!" ”
Chu Huan was stunned, he really didn't expect to enter the building and have to collect the door silver, let alone the entry silver to be so expensive, twenty taels of silver, enough for some people to live for a year.
Yingren had already made his eyes color, Sun Desheng took out eighty taels of silver with some pain and handed it over, the strong man took the silver, bowed down, and said with a smile: "Thank you for the reward, the four masters, please come in!" ”
Chu Huan sighed in his heart, it cost eighty taels of silver to enter the door, I really don't know how much silver it will cost tonight when I enter the door, no wonder the people who came today are all dressed in fine clothes, and this ordinary person really doesn't have the financial resources to come in.
Chu Huan was the first to enter Baoxiang Building, and as soon as he entered the door, it was a large patio, and the courtyard was dang, but there were no less than fifty tables, densely packed, and the area was extremely empty, which also showed the strong financial resources of this Baoxiang Building.
The second and third floors of the patio room are a circle of small houses, each household looks not small, there are signs hanging at the door, the second and third floors add up to forty or fifty girls, and the first floor is the hall, on weekdays, the girls will be sent to the hall on the first floor, showing off the style, the guests will follow to the house with the sign, this is the most ordinary prostitution, in the backyard of this Baoxiang Building, there is another elegant courtyard of living alone, that is the real popular girl's gentle lane, the grade is much higher than the girl in the front building, and the treatment will be much higher.
In fact, the girls in this kind of building are very fierce in private, once the girl in the front yard becomes popular, she may live in the backyard at any time, and the red girl in the backyard, once the popularity disappears or begins to decline or even the body is sick, then it will soon be swept out of the backyard to make room for other girls.
For the bustard and the backstage in the building, everything is silver, any girl in the building, will be squeezed by them to the last drop of blood, when it is unprofitable, the girls will be miserable, and even the life is not as good as a dog.
Countless girls were held in the palm of Lou Zi as a baby when they were popular, but they were not red for a hundred days, and most of the girls ended up very miserable.
Dozens of tables are densely arranged, and there are two circles of chairs under the porch, which can accommodate people.
There are red lanterns hanging all around the building, and the whole courtyard is illuminated red, and the layout inside is also very gorgeous, but no matter how gorgeous the decoration, it is not as good as the women here.
On the railing on the second and third floors, a group of girls leaned on the railing, showing flowers and branches, competing for beauty, making people dizzy, these girls can only stay in front of their respective rooms today, leaning on the railing to watch, warblers and swallows, safflower and willows, swallows thin and fat, it is really heaven on earth.
In a vacant lot in the patio, a platform has been erected, decorated very fancy, this is the "flower selection table", there is a long table on the left and right of the flower selection table, and behind the table are a row of chairs, but they are all empty for the time being.
After Chu Huan and the four of them came in, a young woman in a light purple shirt twisted her waist to greet her, in her forties, her skin was white and tender, although there were some slight wrinkles on her face, but a pair of flexible charming eyes rippled in autumn, and she still had a touching charm.
The woman greeted her with a smile, and shook her handkerchief, "Yo, a few masters, look at the face, I haven't seen it before, I recognize a face today, and I will often move around in the future, the slave family is the begonia spring of the Qingqiu Pavilion, and a few masters will have a good time here tonight, and the slave family is now here to say congratulations to a few masters, congratulations to a few masters for being able to hold the Oiran!" ”
Chu Huan arched his hand and smiled faintly, Haitang Chun had already asked with a smile, "Where are the masters going to sit?" ”
"Naturally, it's a table!" Sun Desheng couldn't help but say.
Looking at the situation in front of them, some people are sitting on the edge of the table, and some people are sitting on chairs under the corridor around them, but the table is prepared with melons, fruits, snacks and tea.
Haitang Chun said with a smile: "Okay, how many masters are going to charter a table?" ”
Yingren heard the taste and asked, "Haitang Chun, do you mean that you still need silver to sit on the edge of the table?" ”
A trace of displeasure crossed the depths of Haitangchun's eyes, although she called herself "Haitangchun", but according to the rules, guests can only call her "Hai Mama", so calling her by her name is a bit rude.
But what kind of person she is, she still has a flattering smile on her face, Qiubo looked at Yingren ripplingly, and said with a smile: "Look at what this master said, you have also seen it, there are more monks and less porridge, and there are many guests who come tonight, but the seats are limited, and you can't favor one over the other, so you can only come up with this way, and you can sit on the edge of the table with silver, in fact, there are only a few scattered silver, and the four masters can just wrap a table, but it's only forty taels of silver!" ”
Chu Huan sighed again, forty taels of silver, then I don't know how many tables I can buy, sell the gold cave, sell the gold cave, this is really true.
He actually understands in his heart that Qinglou is a place to hold gold, and it is a good time to hold gold when it coincides with the annual Oiran election in the Fengyue world, for ordinary people, dozens of taels of silver is a large amount, but for these rich people, dozens of taels of silver is not a big deal.
Sun Desheng took out another forty taels of silver at Yingren's signal, and Haitang Chun smiled and led the four of them to sit down at a table, and then went to greet the other guests.
Chu Huan noticed that there were no girls shuttling back and forth between the tables and chairs, but a few young women who were dressed very charmingly, counted them, there were six of them, one of them was familiar, and it was suddenly the Saihua fragrance of the Furong Pavilion, not long ago, it was the Saihua and her Ning Yu who ruthlessly rectified Lu Shixun.
In this way, it is the old bustards of Yunshan Liubao who are greeting the guests, each of them is coquettish, they are very familiar with the guests, many guests are familiar with these bustards, after coming in, they are talking and laughing, flirting, some of the guests are obviously old guests, but also hugging the old bustard, pinching the big butt and touching the white flower chest deliberately exposed by the bustard, flirting and scolding, it is really boundless.
Chu Huan picked up the teapot, poured tea for everyone, looked around, felt that it was still early for the opening, and asked in a low voice: "Young Master Xu, what do you mean by the big line?" ”
He heard Fat Liu and Yingren say the term Daxingshou successively, but he was really puzzled.
Yingren was stunned and said strangely: "You don't understand? ”
Chu Huan shook his head.
Yingren laughed and said, "It turns out that there are also things you don't understand." He said in a low voice: "Actually, I didn't understand it before, this was all inquired about by Sun Desheng." He said to Sun Desheng: "Sun Desheng, tell me, what is the head of the line!" ”
Sun Desheng explained to Chu Huan in a low voice, and Chu Huan suddenly realized.
The maidens of Great Qin are roughly divided into three categories.
One is an official prostitute, as the name suggests, usually after the official is raided and questioned, the female dependents are beaten into official prostitutes; The second is a domestic prostitute, similar to a maidservant, who can sing and dance, play and sing everything, and belong to private storage, which can be used to entertain guests, usually high-ranking officials and nobles spend a lot of money to store; The third type is the private prostitutes in Qinglou, this situation is a bit complicated, some only sell their bodies and do not sell their bodies, some only sell their bodies and do not sell their bodies, and some sell their bodies at the same time.
However, in such a famous and well-known field as Baoxianglou, the girls in it have been selected, and they have been specially trained, such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, backgammon, dance and singing skills, and they will also train their skills in bed.
In a building like this, once there is a red girl in those buildings with small scale and weak background, they will soon be dug up by the building, carefully packaged, and will soon become a cash cow.
As for the head of the line, not all girls have a chance.
Before becoming the head of the line, the girl not only has more talent and beauty than ordinary people, but also must be a virgin, the building will be specifically looking for such a girl, from a young age to train and cultivate, before reaching the age of selection, the building will spend a lot of money to care, will not receive any guests, usually, such a girl will have five or six in the building, and when they reach the age of selection, they will first let these girls compete in their own building, from the selection of the building Oiran, and then on behalf of the building.
The representative girls of each building will have a fierce competition, and the top three will be selected in the end, which will become the head of the big line, the head of the second line and the head of the small line.
And being able to be elected as the head of the line is the highest level in the Fengyue Realm, they will get the treatment that other girls dream of, they will have their own special residences, they will have their own band servants, and because of their high value, they will not be able to fall into the situation of thousands of people riding and touching thousands of people, most of them are just performances, and there are only a few who can make a lot of money.
Moreover, some dignitaries and nobles hold banquets, and will specially post to the head of the line to perform in the past, and the remuneration is extremely high, most of which belong to the building, but the head of the line himself can also get a good remuneration, the greater the fame, the stronger and more luxurious his music team, then the more times he is invited, and the more generous the salary he gets.
Although the redemption silver of the head of the line is a heavenly amount, the very popular head of the line can usually collect his redemption silver within five or six years, so as to get rid of the sea of suffering.
Although it will never be washed once you enter the Qinglou, but after the head of the line gets out, if he is still very popular, he can continue to use his team to participate in various banquets, and many of the head of the line can even become the concubines of high-ranking officials and nobles, which is much happier than ordinary prostitutes.
However, although there are many girls who are elected as the head of the line, but the flowers are not red for a hundred days, many times the red disappears after three or two years, and the redemption money cannot be repaid, so they can only slowly degenerate into ordinary prostitutes.
The difference between the head of the big bank, the head of the second line and the head of the small line lies in the final exit price, and the price of the head of the big bank is naturally the highest, and the amount of silver earned is naturally the most.
The big bank leader is lucky enough to earn enough money to redeem himself in five years, while the small bank leader needs ten years or eight years, so the big bank leader may have a chance to get out of the sea of suffering, but the possibility of the small bank head is almost none.
The only way out is to hope that at the banquet of the dignitaries, he can be seen by the nobles and pay a lot of money to redeem himself.
But paying a huge amount of silver to redeem a fireworks woman, although this kind of thing is not impossible, but the probability is pitiful.
If a certain building can have a head of the building, it is equivalent to having a real cash cow, and the silver earned from the head of the house will occupy an important part of the income in the building.
After listening to Sun Desheng's explanation, Chu Huan sighed in his heart, he didn't expect that there would be such a way in this industry, and he thought of that Mo Lingshuang, would her final fate be very miserable?
Although Yingren has the intention to help Mo Lingshuang, with his identity, it is impossible to use his strength to help in the light, and even in the dark, he must be cautious, so as not to be caught by someone with a heart.
Can he really save Mo Lingshuang from fire and water?
