Chapter 363 Xiaoxiang Tower, Yang Rongsheng
During the free clinic, Shu He saw Baili Moqing and Xi Zhu leaving.
But why does Xizhu look so happy?
Are you happy even though you got cheated?
Seeing her serious and doubtful expression, the old man whose pulse was being felt showed some worry on his face, "Mr. Liu, is there something seriously wrong with my body?"
Shu He came back to his senses and put the matter aside for the time being.
"No, it's just a cold. The temperature difference between morning and evening is huge these days. Old sir, please remember to keep warm when you get home. Wear more clothes when it's cold, and wear less when it's hot. Don't try to save yourself the trouble by forcing yourself to wear more!"
The old man nodded, took her prescription and bowed to her in gratitude. Shu He also stood up and returned the greeting.
Looking at the long line of people, Shu He felt a little dizzy.
There are too many people here!
It seems that I need to find someone to help!
After the consultation, when Shu He returned to the second floor, he saw Zhang Zhirou looking unhappy and asked, "Why are you still unhappy after cheating me out of so much money?"
Zhang Zhirou had a strange look on his face and struggled for a long time. In the end, he just said that Baili Moqing was too difficult to deal with and he didn't get any money from him.
Shu He laughed dumbly. Is he unhappy because he lost the battle? "How much did it sell for?"
"A box of rejuvenating cream, 70,000."
"Seventy thousand isn't too bad. I sold it to Ge Sannian, the number one imperial merchant in Kyoto, for only fifty thousand. So, it's still a profit."
Zhang Zhirou was still unhappy, as if something else was bothering her.
"Sister, he's getting married! Aren't you angry?"
"It's only been a short time? He was chasing you just a few days ago, and now he wants to get married? You heartless bastard!"
Shu He didn't mind at all. He walked to the couch and stretched his aching body, then drank the pot of tea he left.
Although it is a bit cold, it has a unique flavor.
This tea is brewed really well!
"He's getting married, why are you so anxious?"
"Aren't I worried about you?"
Shu He half leaned against the wall, "It's true that the emperor is not anxious, but the eunuchs are anxious to death! Ah Rou, you should worry less! Otherwise, you will get old easily!"
"Ah?!" Zhang Zhirou's face was filled with shock. She quickly touched her face and asked, "Am I old?"
Seeing her like this, Shu He couldn't help but laugh, "Would you like me to take you to listen to some music to relieve your boredom?"
Yanshoufang, Xiaoxiang Tower.
A red building that only welcomes literati, princes and nobles.
This place often holds poetry banquets, inviting talented scholars and beautiful women to participate in the poetry. Every poetry banquet attracts countless talented people, and those who can enter the poetry banquet must be very talented.
In the past six months, many famous poems and words have come out of the Japanese poetry banquets in Kyoto. There are also people in white clothes who were recruited by important officials in Kyoto because of their good words, and their careers have soared to fame.
Therefore, with its poetry banquets, various special features of the building, and the beautiful courtesans who sold their art but not their bodies, Xiaoxiang Building quickly carved out a niche for itself in Kyoto and became a new favorite spot for aristocrats and literati.
"Mr. Xu, you said you would take me to a special place. Is this the place?"
"The woman is pretty, but unfortunately, she's dressed too conservatively! This brothel isn't very good!"
A man complained, but was mocked by the man next to him, "Hahaha, Master Liu, you haven't been to Kyoto for over half a year, right? This Xiaoxiang Tower isn't a brothel; it's Kyoto's premiere red house for pure prostitutes!"
The man disagreed and was still dissatisfied, "A prostitute? I can only look but not eat, how terrible is that?!"
"Young Master Liu, you're wrong! This place has become a symbol of status in Kyoto! People like us who have money but no power can only watch the singing and dancing in the first floor hall. Those who are willing to spend money can hire a courtesan to play music and sing to relieve their boredom."
"The second floor is for the rich and powerful, mostly the territory of officials and their families. If there is no one to lead us, people like us can't go up!"
"Besides, how could those vulgar women in a brothel be worthy of you, Mr. Liu?! But here is different. Not only can you look at beauties, but you can also make friends with celebrities. If you can get to know one or two nobles, your Liu family's business might even be able to expand to Kyoto!"
The man was surprised. "There is such an opportunity?"
At this time, two handsome young men came in from outside the door. They had red lips, white teeth and slender figures. They were even more beautiful than the prostitutes in Xiaoxiang Tower.
As soon as the two appeared, they attracted many pairs of eyes.
Among them, there was a young man in blue clothes holding a black token. When the servant at the stairs saw them, he led the two of them straight to the third floor.
Seeing this, everyone withdrew their gaze.
The young man asked, "Those two who just went up, were they women?"
So handsome, but not like a man at all.
"Stop looking! Anyone who can go up to the third floor of Xiaoxiang Building is an extraordinary person. Don't mess with them!!"
Zhang Zhirou looked from the first floor to the second floor with curiosity.
In the lobby on the first floor, the dancers danced beautifully.
The second floor is full of private rooms. There is a sign hanging on the upper right side of each room. The faint sound of stringed instruments can be heard from inside, which is very pleasant to the ears.
She really likes watching people playing the piano, and thinks it is beautiful and handsome. It's a pity that she doesn't have the talent.
The third floor also has private rooms, but they are larger, more luxuriously decorated, and even the servants are more professional.
"Sister, why did you bring me here?"
There is a private room at the end of the corridor on the third floor. The window of the private room faces the stairs to the third floor. Anyone who comes up to the third floor will be seen clearly through this window.
Shu He sat at the round table beside the bed and poured a glass of water. "Come here and sit here."
"The third floor of Xiaoxiang Pavilion entertains all the most prestigious young men and women in Kyoto. While the two lower floors are a mixed crowd, the upper floor is a haven of purity within this red building."
"Ordinary people are not qualified to come in!"
"Just wait and see. There's no shortage of noble young men in Kyoto who are well-known, handsome, and talented. If there's one you like, I'll help you find a matchmaker!"
"Sister!" Zhang Zhirou blushed and pushed Shu He's arm coquettishly. "I don't like men!"
Shu He raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "You don't like men? Could it be that you like women?"
"With your habit, I'll have to stay away from you!"
Zhang Zhirou was embarrassed and angry. She twisted her skirt and snorted at her. "I don't want to be here. I want to go home and drink!"
As soon as I stood up, I saw two people walking towards the corridor. They were both acquaintances.
When she saw them, Zhang Zhirou's face turned red as if it was dripping with blood.
"Sister, you did it on purpose!!"
This guy is not here to arrange a blind date for her, he is clearly here for serious business!
She was teasing her on purpose!
Shu He laughed out loud. This girl clearly feels guilty! !
It seems that she really needs to find a husband for her! This will save her from having to follow her around. By then, I'm afraid Zhang Zhiyi will have a problem with her, right?
"Miss Arou, long time no see!"
The woman walking in front greeted Zhang Zhirou with a smile, and her every frown and smile was full of charm.
