MTL - Chastity Layman-Chapter 17 Go out with a sword, kill a man and go home

  Chapter 17 Going out with a sword, killing people and returning home

  In the Xiaoxiang Pavilion across the street from Zhangtai Pavilion, Yu Xiao is sitting on the upper floor facing the mirror to do her makeup.

   "Girl, what are you thinking about?" A young maidservant asked beside her.

  Yu Xiao smiled slightly at herself in the mirror. In the mirror was a famous school secretary in Chang'an, with beautiful eyes and pink dimples, tall figure, slender waist, quite charming. She was originally the daughter of a family of officials and officials, but later the family suffered a change and was reduced to a teaching workshop.

  In Pingkangfang, in fact, it is difficult to be the best if only appearance is the only one. In addition to appearance, one must also have talent, understand silk and bamboo orchestra, and be good at singing and dancing.

  While people are young, good-looking, good at singing and dancing, especially speaking and singing, good at poetry and prose, able to learn about the past and the present, able to maneuver, know how to create atmosphere, control the scene, and can host important banquets, but not many.

In Pingkangfang, Yuxiao is called Girl's School Book, which is an official position in the Secretary's Ministry. A prostitute can get this title because of her talent and wisdom. Yuxiao can not only play music, sing, recite poems and paint, but also Familiar with the anecdotes of ancient and modern celebrities, her conversation is elegant and interesting, and her temperament is particularly noble and elegant. When she appears on the stage, she always brings a spring breeze to the room and makes every guest full of interest.

For a while, she was sought after by countless people, but she had a special feature in hospitality. She was not very enthusiastic about those dignitaries, but she was very courteous to literati and scholars. Therefore, literati and celebrities in Chang'an flocked to her. It is an honor to participate in the wine and wine meeting hosted by her.

  The cage of Yuxiao is full of poems, calligraphy and paintings of those guests.

  However, although there are many charming guests, she has never made a promise to anyone. Only Yuxiao's personal maid knows that, in fact, Yuxiao has seen through all kinds of men since she was rolling in this world of mortals.

   Ren said it nicely, but who would really value these women.

  She just wants to save enough money to redeem herself, wash off the lead and stay away from the prosperity of Chang'an. If you can find a loyal and reliable man to marry and be a wife, with a cloth skirt to support your husband and teach your children, this life is enough.

"Girl, I didn't expect that Qin Sanlang, who came here often, rejected the daughter of the Zheng family in Xingyang. Do you think he is stupid?" The maid Luzhu said with a light smile, "I think Qin Sanlang must have taken a fancy to you, girl, so for the girl I would rather reject the daughter of the Zheng family in Xingyang."

Yuxiao just smiled slightly, "Young disciples like Qin Sanlang, some of them come to our Pingkang workshop for real reasons, but just to have fun. If you fall in love with this one today, you will fall in love with that one tomorrow. After all, you will like the new and hate the old." Yes, I am just a prostitute, so how can I compare with the high-ranking daughter of the Zheng family in Xingyang."

   While speaking, the voice of servant Xiaoyi came from outside.

   "Girl, Qin Sanlang has arrived in the workshop."

  Lvzhu giggled, "Look, girl, isn't Qin Sanlang here?" Saying that, she wanted to help Yuxiao get up to greet her.

   "Luzhu, I haven't put on my makeup yet." Yu Xiao wasn't excited, but her two willow eyebrows were slightly raised.

  Xiao Yi said, "Girl, Qin Sanlang didn't come to our Xiaoxiang Pavilion, he entered Zhangtai Pavilion.

The maidservant Luzhu immediately said, "Girl, what you said is indeed true, this man is indeed a heartless person, he has only been with our girl for a few days, and then he turned around and went to the Zhangtai Hall to find Yu Youwei, the recorder. I don't know what ecstasy trick that **** used to lure him away so quickly."

  Yu Xiao sat down, frowning slightly.

  Yu Youwei in Zhangtai Pavilion is called Recorder, and Recorder is an official position. In Pingkangfang, Yu Youwei is uniquely called by this title, and Wei Tao and Wei Siniang, the head of Hongxiu Pavilion, are equivalent to her.

  The three are known as the three famous performers of Pingkangfang. Yu Xiao sat there in a daze.

   "Girl, let's go to Zhangtai Pavilion to find that **** Yu Xuanji."

  ·······

   Zhangtai Pavilion.

  The name of Zhangtai originated from the Zhangtai Palace in Chu State. In the Han Dynasty, there was Zhangtai Street in Chang’an. At that time, there were many prostitutes on Zhangtai Street.

  The head girl of Zhangtai Pavilion, Yu Xuanji, whose name is Youwei, is known as a female recorder in Chang'an. She is also a young, beautiful and talented prostitute.

  Inside the cabinet.

  The young fish Wei in Tsing Yi went downstairs to greet her.

   "Old Jiu, you really have a lot of face. Yu Xuanji, the recorder of the three famous actors in Chang'an, doesn't even give face to Qin County Captain, but wants to give face to you."

   Liu Jiu put on a cold face, "I was the one who made Yulushi popular in the first place, and even this Zhangtai Pavilion used to be my property."

   "Oh!" Wei Chang was surprised.

  Qin Lang thinks this is not a strange thing, after all, this brothel Chuguan is also a half-black business, not everyone can do it, and generally it will definitely involve some Jianghu society and the like.

   And this Liu Jiu used to be known as the hero of Chang'an, but in fact, there must be something of that nature behind him.

   "Xuanji pays homage to Jiulang."

  In the tea room upstairs, Yu Youwei was very polite to her former boss.

   "Youwei, I never thought I would come out again. Let me introduce you, this is my nobleman, Qin Sanlang."

  Yu Youwei took a look at Qin Lang, "I know, the third son of Duke Yi's mansion, unexpectedly, Shi Brown has become the county captain of Chang'an, but it seems that Qin Sanlang was kicked out of the house by Duke Yi."

  Qin Lang did not expect that Yu Xuanji was so well informed.

   "Sooner or later, I will come out and set up my own family."

   "Sanlang comes to me, isn't he afraid that the school secretary will be angry?" Yu Xuanji's eyes are big and watery, and a multicolored ribbon is wrapped around his slender waist, which is only enough to hold, but has a proud greenhouse.

   "What school book?" Qin Lang was puzzled.

  Yu Xuanji pursed his lips and smiled, "Qin Sanlang is good or bad, but I really like it."

   Downstairs.

  The bustard already knew that Liu Jiu had brought the Chang'an county captain to drink. She was surprised and didn't dare to neglect, so she hurriedly asked people to prepare a banquet, and put up a sign saying that she would no longer entertain guests tonight.

  The silk string musicians and young dancers in Zhangtai Pavilion also came on stage.

   "After I go in, the third child and the others will still cover here?" The ninth child asked.

   "Lin Sanlang and the others have been taking care of the slave family."

  Lao Jiu nodded in satisfaction, "You let Xiao Wu, that bastard, go out and pass a message to me, saying that I'm back again, and let Lao San and the others come see me."

  Lin Sanlang Lin Shirong was gambling in a gambling shop in Pingkangfang at this time, his luck was not very good today, he had already lost thousands of dollars in less time, he tore off the collar of his shirt, revealing the dark chest hair.

  Countless gamblers in the workshop are yelling and scrambling to place bets. On the gaming table, the dice are rolling, and pairs of red eyes are rolling with it.

  Xiao Wu came in panting heavily, looked around, and finally found Lin San in the crowd. He squeezed over and whispered in his ear, "Master Jiu is here, I want you to see him."

  Lin Sanyi didn't hear clearly at first, but when he came back to his senses, his eyes widened immediately, "Who are you talking about?"

   "Jiuye, Jiuye is here, he is in the museum right now, I want you to go see him immediately."

"Brother Jiu escaped from prison?" Lin San was the first to reflect that Liu Jiu was a death row prisoner locked up in a dungeon. Normally, they couldn't see each other even if they wanted to. less than.

   "You will know when you go, you didn't escape from prison."

  Lin San didn't care about gambling any more, and grabbed the chips on the gaming table into Xiao Wu's hands, "You guys play a few games for me. If you lose, it's mine. If you win, it's yours. I'll go first."

   At this time, the night has ended, and the gate of Pingkangfang is completely closed.

  Pedestrians have been banned in the streets outside the square, but they can walk inside the square, that is, they can no longer enter and leave the square gate.

Because there are Sanqu prostitutes in Pingkangfang, the night here is actually more lively. Brothels and gambling houses have attracted countless Chang'an chivalrous men and scoundrels. The nightlife is more lively.

  Lin San walked like flying, and soon arrived at Zhangtai Pavilion.

  He used to be a ranger, but it wasn't Chang'an Xia Shao, but a border city, also known as a frontier ranger.

Generally speaking, the Tang Dynasty has a strong atmosphere of being a chivalrous man. The group of knight-errants is also divided into three categories. One is the powerful young knight-errants represented by the children of the nobles and nobles in the capital, such as Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, Chai Shao, Shi Wanbao, etc. in the Sui Dynasty. They were all once the representatives of powerful young knight-errants. They were the most prominent type of knight-errants, sons of so-called famous fathers.

These people are pampered, have status, power and wealth. They like to gain fame through acts of bravery, despise wealth, and making friends with heroes. Ren Xia is regarded as a fashion symbol.

The second type of knight-errants is the young knight-errants of the rich. Their families are rich in wealth, and most of them are the sons of rich people in the market or local people. They are miscellaneous businessmen in the Tang Dynasty. He is not qualified for the imperial examination, so he can only eat and wait to die, wandering as a chivalrous man.

These people are represented by Wuling Xiashao around Chang'an. Since the Han Dynasty, there have been many imperial tombs around Chang'an, and all dynasties have liked to forcefully relocate some powerful local landlords to the mausoleum areas around Chang'an to strengthen their lives. control.

  These Wuling youths have a lot of wealth but a low status, so they gradually become the main representatives of Chang'an rangers, and they are very active in Chang'an.

  Compared to the magnificence of the powerful rangers, and the rich and powerful of the Wuling rangers, the frontier rangers are brave and fierce.

  Go out with a sword, the lonely city is surrounded, kill people on the Liao River, and return to the sun on horseback.

Most of these frontier rangers are the children of the frontier soldiers, and there are also many evil youths recruited by the frontier army. Most of the evil youths on the frontier are willing to enlist in the army. .

  As some frontier soldiers were transferred back to Beijing, many frontier rangers who were children of the frontier soldiers also returned to Chang'an, and they became a special group among the three ranger groups in Chang'an.

  Of course, there is actually another type of ranger in Chang'an City, known as the evil youth in the workshop.

  Also known as unworthy sons or idlers by Changan people, these people like to get tattoos, do evil in leisure, steal, rob and set up gambling. In short, these people have no chivalry, only evil deeds.

  Lin San entered Zhangtai Pavilion through the back door. As soon as he entered, he found that several brothers had arrived earlier. They nodded to themselves and said excitedly, "Brother Ninth is up there."

   Lin San nodded and went upstairs, he knocked on the door.

   "Is it the third child?" The familiar voice came from the room.

   "Ninth brother, I'm the third child." Lin San said excitedly.

"come in."

  Lin San pushed open the door and saw a familiar brother sitting there, but a young official in official robes and a saber was sitting next to him, and immediately reached out to touch the saber.

   "Third brother, this is my benefactor, why don't you come over to see me." Liu Jiu stopped him.
