Chapter 225 Four Courtyards
"That old man Tong Zhenye dared to invite himself to the brothel?" Ren Baqian was about to kneel down.
Ren Baqian's mind was circling. Does the empress know where it was? She definitely didn't know. Who would tell her about the brothel?
Go or not?
Is this question still necessary?
Of course!
I have never seen what brothels in this world look like. I heard that the ancient brothel women were proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so I went to see it for a long time. Even if the old man Tong Zhenye was brave, he would not arrange one for himself, right?
Ren Baqian turned his head and showed a puzzled look on his face: "What is a brothel?"
The ignorant is innocent. I don’t know where Yunyanlou is. If you want to blame him, please look for the old man.
"Let's go, Lord Shangshu can't be too late to hold a banquet." Ren Baqian greeted everyone and rushed forward in a hurry.
Everyone hurriedly followed, looking at Ren Baqian with full of admiration. I wonder what you are doing when you run so fast in brothel?
Ren Baqian didn't care what they thought, anyway, he would have something to say at that time.
Even if he knows that he can't do anything, he can go and experience it for a long time to fill his eyes.
However, he went to the brothel manager to see it, but forgot a sentence: How much sorrow can you have? It's like a group of eunuchs going to the brothel.
Although he is not a eunuch, he is probably not as good as a eunuch in a brothel. At least he can do something. Does he dare?
There is a street between Shihu District and Wudaogou District, called Jing Street, but most people are called Sidayuan Hutong.
There are very few people here during the day, but at night, the lights are bright and there are all kinds of mounts and carriages everywhere. Especially those in other countries in Lancheng love to run here for nothing, especially the envoys in Lancheng in Daxia, Gu Zicheng, who lingers here for thirty days a month and twenty days.
Jing Street is called the Four Courtyard Hutong, mainly because of the four courtyards here, namely the Baihuayuan, Blue and White Courtyard, the Moon Pavilion and the Jinyu Pavilion.
In fact, the gentle women from Daxia, Yun and Chen are very different from the ancient women. In addition to the merchants in Lancheng from various countries, many ancient people also like to linger here.
As for the ancient women, they are not only arrogant, but also know nothing about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Many of them are stronger than men, and even if they go to the mountains to hunt, they will not be able to find any ancient women in such places.
Among them, Yunyan Tower is the most famous building in Baihuayuan. Those who enter and exit this building are all people with status, and this building will not be received without a certain level. Moreover, most of the women inside are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Not only are there Daxia, Yun, Chen, and also gentle women from the immigrants of Hao Kingdom.
Ordinary people can't enter this building at all, so they have the most speculations about this building, and their reputation has become far away.
Ren Baqiance was running wildly. Under the guidance of the guards, two incense sticks were later brought to the four courtyards for contract. At this time, the sky was getting darker, and the lights on the pavilions on both sides were lit up. There were rows of lanterns hanging on the courtyard wall, and the scenery was excellent.
There are already many people coming and going on the streets, most of whom are from the other three countries with guards, and these people are very low-key. There are also some children of the big bosses in the Dayao court walking crab steps, exuding a fierce aura all over their bodies. They don’t even look at people from the other three countries, and even hit them directly. If you don’t avoid it, you will be in trouble.
Ren Baqian looked around and saw two faces, but he had a little impression of him. It seemed that he saw it while Fenghunting some time ago. When he saw other people, others could naturally see him. After all, so many guards around him were dressed as guards in the palace. Many people were shocked at first sight, thinking that it was His Holiness.
I immediately raised my mind and looked at it.
When I saw Ren Baqian surrounded by the middle, I suddenly realized that it was this guy.
Then they all stared wide, and this guy dared to come to this place? Not to mention anything else, with this courage, many people have to give a thumbs up.
In a carriage moving slowly along the side of the road, two men sat opposite each other, one handsome and the other handsome.
These two people followed Uncle Wu to the Zhang family Zhang Heqi and Zhang Heju in Lancheng.
"Is that guy?" The two of them saw Ren Baqian surrounded by the middle through the gap in the curtain and said in surprise.
"He actually dared to come to the brothel? Qi Zixiao knew?" Zhang He looked incredible.
"Three, don't call it by your name here, be careful of being heard." Zhang Heju was also surprised, but he still warned that there were many officials from Dayao here, and many of them were not low in strength. If someone heard it, the two of them would be in trouble.
Zhang Heqi shut up and then said, "Do you think Emperor Dayao know?"
"So what if you know or don't know? It has nothing to do with you and me." Zhang Heju said softly while looking at Ren Baqian who was surrounded by ten guards.
At this time, a guard close to the two of them seemed to notice that he had cast his gaze and turned his head to look.
Zhang Heju immediately put down the curtain, afraid that someone would notice it.
"We have been here for more than two months, and there is no progress at all." Zhang Heqi said jealously. If Ren Baqian was a member of the ancient tribe, he would not have been jealous and took it for granted. But he was also an outsider, but he was chosen as his husband by Qi Zixiao, and he and the two of them had made no progress in Lancheng for more than two months.
Compare it, in which aspect is not better than him in appearance and knowledge? But Qi Zixiao chose him.
How could this make him feel balanced?
Not only is he like this, but even Zhang Heju is the case. However, Zhang Heju's mind is deeper and he doesn't express many words outside.
"I heard that because he went to the Nine-Level Pavilion a few days ago, Emperor Da Yao even killed Hua Sanliu. The entire Nine-Level Pavilion was destroyed, which is really terrifying. However, it can be seen that Emperor Da Yao really values him and is even willing to take risks..."
...
Ren Baqian stopped in front of a yard, turned his head and looked around: "Here?"
"Sir, it's here." Xu Wei nodded and said.
Ren Baqian looked at the gate, and there were no signs hanging. There were two ancient tribes with swords standing at the door. This place looked like brothels, why did it look so much like a prison?
However, when you look in from the gate and walk through the yard, there is a small building, where a woman's smirk sounds come out. However, there is a rockery in the yard that blocks most of the situation inside. You can hear the sound, but you can see nothing, which makes you even more itchy.
After getting off the mount, Ren Baqian took Xu Wei and a few guards to strode in, and there were naturally someone to place the mount.
"Sir." Two ancient men at the door clasped their fists and said.
Ren Baqian guessed in his heart that this place might have been opened by a senior official in the court, otherwise the ancient clans would not have accepted employment from foreign clans, nor would they do such a job as guarding the door.
Although he didn't guess, it was not far away.
Not only Baihuayuan, but also several other yards.
Although it is not the background of the senior officials in the court, it is the background of the four Protectorate Palaces.
In addition to the Central Protectorate, the four courtyards have the background of the four major proptectorate in the north, northeast, southeast and south. A part of all the income is also used as military funds to purchase materials from various countries to supplement the military.
It is not the background of the Protectorate, but the background of the four major palaces itself.
Therefore, over the past few decades, Lancheng has always had four courtyards, and only four courtyards.
