...

Chen Xu has been in Xianyang for almost half a year, but he is absolutely not familiar with Xianyang.

In addition to Xianyang Palace, Zhangtai Palace, Royal Palace, Chaogong Hall, and more famous places inside and outside the city, we are not very clear about other Quyuan houses and Jiaodian Stations, and we basically don’t go out shopping, because the commercial operations of Daqin are almost zero. Except for the four farmers’ markets in the east, west, south and north, there are only some common shops in the city that operate grain, cloth, pottery, bamboo, wood, salt and iron knives, etc. Even these shops are extremely black and chaotic, completely different from the bright shops in later generations. Therefore, most people will never go to the shops if they don’t buy things.

The farmers' market is rich in content, including chicken, duck, pig, dog, cattle, sheep, horse, vegetables and food, but the people inside are noisy and messy, and the sewage is everywhere and smells bad. Basically, those who go to buy things are civilians or servants, and those who are a little bit of identity will never go shopping.

For top nobles like Chen Xu, who are of the marquis level, they will not go to the market.

The Qinghe Marquis Mansion now has whatever you want, even if he doesn't have it in Li Simengyi's mansion, he has it at home. It is rewarded by the emperor and will always send seven or eight cars every month. Don't be so stupid.

But because of Chen Xu's arrival, Xianyang now has a high-end and fun place, that is Qinghe Garden. In addition to the Qinghe Hotel, most people can still buy tickets to watch the show. Qinghe Theater is open on the side of the road, and the goods inside are neatly arranged, ranging from toothpaste and toothbrushes to tea and jade, Qinghe wines and exquisite porcelain. Even if ordinary people can't afford it, they can still go in and see it. The clerk will never stop him from looking at him. Instead, a group of young ladies in uniforms will greet each other with sweet smiles. Therefore, Qinghe Store has become a place where people from all walks of life like to visit. After visiting, you can also go to Liuxiang Garden opposite to watch people and fight dogs. Therefore, in Xianyang, the street where Qinghe Garden is located has become the most lively place.

The Qinghe store model is also being imitated by many merchants. As a result, many tidy and spacious shops have appeared in Xianyang City. The booth-style retail model in later generations has shown signs of slowly emerging.

Zongshan Villa is a leisure palace for the emperor. It is located in the west of the city, covering an area of ​​500 acres, with small hills, ponds, gardens and pavilions. Although it is very different from the Jiangnan gardens in later generations, in early summer, there are lush vegetation and flowers, butterflies and dragonflies flying, and fish and shrimps playing in the water. Therefore, many concubines and princesses like to come here to play.

Because Zongshan Villa is an imperial palace industry, it is under the jurisdiction of the Shaofu, and is generally only allowed to enter the royal family, so the management is very strict. There are military soldiers on duty for twelve hours outside the majestic gate, and the towering bluestone walls around it are at least patrolling the imperial guards on horseback every half an hour, so civilians generally do not get too close to this area.

But next to Zongshan Villa, there is a street called Yiguan Street, which has several large inns. These inns are different from foot houses. They are officially built and managed. They are affiliated with Dianke Mansion. They were the reception halls used by Qin to entertain the vassal states. Now the vassal states have been trampled to death by Qin, and these inns have lost their function. Some merchants with related backstage took them down and operated them and changed them to Quyuan Liangsal. The women who played the piano, sang and danced to entertain the fun were also beauties and everyone collected from the six countries.

There are also children of the princes and nobles who were implicated after the fall of their country. They were demoted to slaves and made a living by singing and laughing. Due to their identity issues, the level of these quyuan and cold houses is much nobler than that of others. Therefore, a large number of Qin officials came here to play and entertain, and gathered people with outstanding and identifiable figures. Therefore, this street is more lively every day, and the lights are brightly lit at night, and the sound of singing and dancing is endless all night. Therefore, the people of Xianyang privately call this inn street the Never Night Street.

On this day, a four-bridle carriage surrounded by a group of guards and arrived at this endless street. They immediately caused people hiding on the street to stop and watch. The people in the building on both sides were soon alarmed. Many beautiful women in cool clothes appeared in front of the window on the second floor, leaning against the window to look at it, waving their handkerchiefs and being excited.

These women used to have noble identities, but now they have become slaves and have lost their freedom. They can only rely on singing and laughing to make a living, and have to be strictly monitored. Although they look extremely glamorous on the outside, they actually live a very miserable life. Any small official from the Qin Dynasty can scold and be beaten and scolded.

Although this street has a relatively high status in the mixed houses of Quyuan in Xianyang, ordinary people cannot and dare to come to play and consume, they come here on weekdays with low-level officials. For princes and princes, they have many wives and concubines, and they also have singers, dancers and many young and beautiful servants. Naturally, they do not want to come to such places to play, so it is difficult to see a nobleman here who comes in a carriage with four bridles.

These women also hope that one day they can be favored by a nobleman of the level of princes and princes, and then buy them as concubines at home. Although their status is still low, it is much better than serving all kinds of men here all day long.

Therefore, the arrival of this carriage quickly caused the women on the street to go crazy. The gates and windows on both sides of the street were filled with all kinds of women, all looking at the carriage.

"Mr. Marquis, we're here!"

The carriage stopped, and the guards accompanying him quickly opened the curtain. After a while, a young man with brocade robe got out of the car. He was sixteen or seventeen years old, and his lips were red and white, and his hair was neatly combed behind his head. After getting off the car, he stood in the middle of the street and watched on both sides.

"Ah, isn't this Qinghe Hou?" An extremely excited scream came from the window on the second floor.

"It's the Marquis, it's the Marquis, it's the Marquis of Qinghe!" In an instant, more women recognized the young Marquis who are now famous all over the world, and they covered their mouths and chests with red faces and began to wave hard.

At this time, several men in exquisite clothes quickly squeezed over from all around, and with excitement as the guards stopped them, they all saluted with excitement.

"Mr. Marquis, come to my Qiyuan to play. Our Qiyuan is a gentle little lady from the Wuyue land, and she is best at singing and dancing."

"Mr. Marquis, come to my Chuyuan to play. Our Chuyuan is all the young ladies from Chu.com, handsome and beautiful..."

"Mr. Marquis, come to my Wei Garden. The Wei land is beautiful and the dancers are also carefully selected. They can not only sing and dance, but also serve men..."

"Mr. Marquis, come to Hanyuan..."

"Mr. Marquis, Yanyuan, the little lady in Yanyuan can do everything..."

Chen Xu:...

The brothel street is indeed well-known. These turtle men are no less pimp than the old madams on the Qinhuai River. They are very enthusiastic!

However, Chen Xu was not interested in these pimped turtle men. He turned his head and quickly looked at the Qi, Chu, Han, Yan, Zhao, Wei, and Quyuan Building Hall with other names on the street. Finally, he chose a building called Yinyue Pavilion and walked in under the escort of several guards with tiger backs and bear waists.

"Alas~~" Looking at the enthusiasm that drifted, the group of men who had just surrounded him all returned to their territory with a depressed expression, and the women waving their handkerchiefs all over the street turned around with disappointment, but many of them were still lying by the window and looking at the gate of Yinyue Pavilion, with a look of hope in their eyes.

After Chen Xu walked into Yinyue Pavilion, a group of beautiful women waving up.

The women all had a bright red face. Some were young girls only in their fifteen or sixteen years old, some were young women in their twenties, and some looked over thirty years old, but they were plump and fair-looking, like peaches, and they were middle-aged mature women with charm. They were all cool and thin clothes, exposed with large snow-white skin, and they could vaguely see the plump snow hills. Chen Xu was shaking and only saw the dry mouth and tongue, and his heart kept shaking.

"Madam...well, is your manager here?" Chen Xu asked with a smile.

"Mr. Marquis, the manager is out. The villain is responsible here!" A middle-aged man in his thirties scolded and drove a group of women away, then walked up and bowed respectfully, with his fists respectfully, and his face was still very excited.

Yinyue Pavilion is not very famous on this ever-night sky street, and the officials who come from the daily life do not have much power in Xianyang. However, today, Qinghe Hou, who is famous in Xianyang and even the whole world, actually chose Yinyue Pavilion. This honor is great. Perhaps after today, Yinyue Pavilion will also become a success.

"I heard that you have a singer named Wanwan here, who is a master of singing and dancing. I want to come and see it, but I don't know if I can arrange it!" Chen Xu nodded and said.

"Non-One~" The agent quickly pointed his head like a chicken pecking at rice.

They boast about singing and dancing. Every museum will promote the little lady in their own museum to attract more dignitaries to play. The real ones who are singing and dancing have already been bought by kings, princes and ministers to be concubines in the mansion, so how could they stay here to make a living by laughing? However, despite this, each museum still has its own top brands, but the quality is slightly worse than that.

Therefore, the manager was quite nervous. I wonder if the Marquis would be angry when he saw Wanwan, who was both singing and dancing. The bride of the Marquis of Qinghe Marquis knew that he was definitely a beautiful woman with a beautiful country and a beautiful country.

"Okay, arrange a quiet room for me and bring Wanwan to see this marquis!"

"Yes, please come upstairs by the Marquis!" The manager quickly nodded and led the way. Under the escort of several guards, Chen Xu followed him to the second floor and entered a spacious and quiet room.

The room is quite luxuriously decorated, with coffee tables, chairs, screens, and flutes neatly arranged, and there are several pots of green plants and flowers in the corner of the wall. The decorations are somewhat similar to Qinghe Hotel, and they are obviously learned from Qinghe Garden.
