Nightwatcher Chapter 51: Dachawei

　　 Hearing the sound of arrows entering the pot, the arc of Xu Qi'an’s mouth widened uncontrollably. He tore off the black cloth and pointed to the gold ingots on the booth:

　　 "Haha, old way, these are all mine."

　　 Old Dao glanced at him, calmly wrapped the gold ingots and silver ingots, then pointed to the top Bodhi bracelet and jade mirror, and said with a smile:

　　"Master, choose one of the two."

　　.....Xu Qi'an's negotiating tone: "Old way, I don't want these, I only want silver."

　　The old way refused mercilessly: "Rules are rules."

　　 paused, and he added: "These two are rare treasures. How can they be comparable to the yellow and white vulgar ones? Don't let the son be blinded by gold and silver."

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

　　 "The old Dao doesn't know, but they are waiting for someone who is destined." The old Daoist looks like a bachelor.

　　 Xu Qi'an suspected that the old way was lying to him, but there was no evidence. Considering his inexplicable luck, he hesitated.

　　 Treasures are not treasures, who can tell, how much money is available.

　　At this time, a soldier came over and said: "This son, my master, please do me a favor."

　　 Xu Qi'an turned his head and glanced at the luxury carriage not far away, "What do you master want?"

　　 "That string of Bodhi beads." The soldier looked away from the stall and looked at Xu Qi'an: "My master is willing to give sixty taels of gold."

　　 It turns out that my Ou Huang should be here... Xu Qi'an showed a warm smile on his face: "Thank you for not giving up, the deal."

　　He asked the soldier to pay a penny in exchange for three arrows.

　　 The armorer said: "The master said, you can make a few more shots, and the money will be paid by us. If you fail, it doesn’t hurt..."

When 　　 said Fang Luo, he saw Xu Qi'an blindfolded, throwing arrows in his hand.

　　咚咚咚... The three arrows were accurately dropped into the pot.

　　The exclamation of passersby came again.

　　Shi Jiashi looked at Xu Qi'an with respectful eyes.

　　 If once is lucky, it means that the other person is not an ordinary person twice. This ordinary-looking young man, dressed as a scholar, is definitely a master.

　　 Golden sixty taels are in hand... Xu Qi'an was very happy. He tore off the black cloth and just saw the curtain of the luxurious carriage in the distance fall.

　　....I don’t know who is sitting in the car...He didn’t dare to look more, turned around, and clasped his fists to the soldier: "Fortunately, not insulted."

　　The soldier respectfully clasped his fists in return, and then returned to the carriage. He came over with a bag of inflated money pouches.

　　 Xu Qi'an took the purse, took the jade mirror from the old road, and watched the carriage leave.

　　 He withdrew his gaze, put the jade mirror with the palm of his hand into his arms at will, and then happily weighed the inflated money pocket.

　　 is about three or four catties, and it is too heavy to tie on the waist.

　　 "No, I have to exchange it into a silver ticket. It's so stupid to carry such a heavy gold with me..."

　　 Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look back, only to find that the old Taoist priest was gone, and the stall was neatly cleaned.

　　 Xu Qi'an stood on the side of the road in silence for a long time.

　　....

　　He went to the bank again and exchanged the gold for four pieces worth one hundred taels; one piece worth fifty taels; and three silver notes worth ten taels.

　　Gold is not in the currency system, so it needs to be exchanged into equivalent silver, and then the bank issues a silver bill.

　　The exchange ratio of gold to silver is 1:8, and sixty taels of gold is 480 taels of silver.

　　 480 taels of silver is more than enough to fan auntie's pretty face.....Why do you want to fan auntie with a silver ticket every time you make money? The original owner's resentment towards auntie is too strong, right? ..... In addition, it is estimated that the silver can only buy a small yard in the inner city.....If you want to buy a three-in-one mansion, don't want to take it away if you don't want to buy it....Xu Qi'an is a little bit distressed.

　　 Regardless of whether it is a different world or a past life, housing prices are a desperate thing.

　　" Four hundred and eighty-two, it should be enough to redeem a lower-grade brothel oiran, but it's not worthwhile.

　　"Look, four hundred and eighty-two I can take turns to be lucky for many oirans for several months. And to redeem an oiran and run out of wealth, not to mention, I have to be responsible for her food and clothing. Nothing. Carefully pregnant with a baby is another big expense.

　　 And my current salary is only enough to support a regular wife, so I can't live a boring life of rich people hugging each other. Besides, I won't redeem the woman in the brothel. The bus is used privately, and the sky thunders. "

　　.....

　　 At dusk, Xu Qi'an came to the famous Jiaofang Division in the capital, which was in an alley.

At the beginning of the 　　huadeng, all kinds of carriages stopped outside the alley, and the sound of silk and bamboo orchestra came from the courtyard, and there was a clear and moving singing voice.

　　 He knew that the beautiful nightlife had begun.

　　Walking on the road extending in all directions in the alley, Xu Qi'an has in mind the cultural essence learned from Wang Coutou.

　　 A normal brothel is a two-story or three-story building, with one or two courtyards attached to it, which is quite standard.

　　Jiaofangsi does not have such a tall building, because there is no need. The courtyard in this alley is Jiaofangsi.

　　 State-owned enterprises are so rich and powerful.

　　Jiaofangsi has a threshold. Common people can’t spend here. It’s not a rule, but the basic consumption of Jiaofangsi is fifty taels of silver.

　　 This is not about sleeping girls, but table fees.

　　 Five taels of silver is equivalent to the income of ordinary people for several months, and it must be a substantial family.

　　Therefore, there are mainly three kinds of guests of Jiaofang Division:

　　一, the gentry giant.

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

　　Second, official.

　　Jiaofangsi is a place for them to have tea and meet after get off work. As long as they have socializing, they like to go to Jiaofangsi.

　　It is worth mentioning that officials of the Ministry of Etiquette can prostitute for nothing. Because the Jiaofang Division is under the control of the Ministry of Rites.

　　三, scholar.

　　 This kind of people are more gentle than the tyrants and giants, they like to chant poems, and they are not difficult to serve as officials, so they are most liked by the girls.

The girls of 　　 Jiaofang Division are also divided into three types:

　　一, the prisoner's wife.

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

　　二. Women captured in the war.

　　, let’s take the battle of Shanhaiguan 20 years ago~IndoMTL.com~Western countries and Dafeng are victorious countries. They have taken countless women from the north and south and filled them into various states and provinces. The Jiaofang Division.

　　三. A prostitute recruited by the Jiaofang Division.

　　 These women are willing to become glorious seafood merchants and contribute to Dafeng’s abalone business. Their spirits are precious.

　　 "I really live to be old, I learn to be old, Wang catches the head is my teacher..." Xu Qi'an sighed, and finally found the goal of this visit to Jiaofang Division.

　　He stopped outside a courtyard, and the plaque at the gate read: Yingmei Xiaoge

　　The gate of the courtyard is open, and two bright red lanterns are hung. Inside the courtyard are plum trees, the branches of which are dotted with blooming flower bones.

　　 A sixteen or seventeen-year-old concierge, standing by the gate of the courtyard, is looking at Xu Qi'an with a scrutinizing gaze.

　　He has another name that everyone is familiar with.

　　"In Yangling, a talented scholar in Changle County, I have long heard of the name of Fuxiang Girl, and I am here to visit." Xu Qi'an imitated a scholar and spoke to the concierge in a polite manner.

　　 Yingmei Xiaoge is the residence of Oiran Fuxiang.

　　 The table opening fee here is ten taels of silver, which is twice as expensive as an ordinary yard.

There are twelve oirans in the 　　 Jiaofang Division, and they are divided into four grades according to taste, rhyme, talent, and color.

　　The Floating Fragrant Girl belongs to the first class, and is known as the poetry and piano.

　　 "Twelve taels of silver." The concierge, who was accustomed to seeing the elder, was indifferent. After receiving Xu Qi'an's silver, he let him into the yard.

　　 Xu Qi'an was overjoyed. There was laughter and the sound of silk and bamboo in the yard, and the chasing had begun, but since the concierge let him in, it means that the yard is not a private room, but an individual.

　　 came out to play, divided into two modes, one is a charter, and the other is an individual guest.

　　If it were the former, Xu Qi'an would be destined to be in vain today.
