After arranging Lu Hu to Juehui to collect funds, Li Zaixing was preparing to go to the martial arts court to start the deployment of monk training. Du Fu grabbed him: "Brother, didn't you say you wanted to drink flower wine?"

Li Zaixing was confused and looked at the sky: "No way, go in the morning?"

"Of course not." Du Fu smiled bitterly: "Of course you have to go in the afternoon when you drink flower wine, but don't you make some preparations?"

Li Zaixing didn't understand. Not to mention that he had never drunk flower wine in his life, he had no experience in his previous life. He had to ask Du Fu humbly for advice. Du Fu didn't find it strange. Li Zaixing grew up in the mountains and was the first time he came to Chang'an. He didn't know the rules for drinking flower wine.

Du Fu explained that flower wine is not something you can drink just by wanting it. Pingkangfang’s prostitutes are not open to welcome guests from all directions. They not only need to be taken by acquaintances, but also to be seen as prostitutes. If you dress too poorly, you will have no money at first sight, and I am afraid you won’t even be able to enter the door of others. Therefore, if you want to drink flower wine, you must make yourself look rich, not a scoundrel who eats tycoon wine.

What kind of person looks like a rich man? First of all, of course, dress well; secondly, you must have a good horse, riding a donkey, or even walking, which will be laughed at; secondly, you must have servants, whether male servants or maids, you must be well-designed and dressed beautifully. These three are essential equipment, and Li Zaixing now only has two. He has a good horse and a handsome servant, but his clothes are really unbearable and unavoidable.

When Du Fu said this, Li Zaixing understood. Du Fu was not only reminding him, but also talking about himself. Don’t forget that Du Fu is riding a donkey now, but also a thin donkey.

"Where can I buy clothes and horses?" Li Zaixing thought for a while and said, "I have to buy a maid. I can't let Ahu wash my clothes every day."

"That's right." Du Fu smiled: "My brother, come with me. I'm more familiar with the situation in Xishi."

Li Zaixing nodded and then said, "Why go to West City? Isn't East City the next to you?"

Du Fu blushed: "The items in the East City are expensive, and the same things are at least 20% or 30% more expensive."

Seeing that Li Zaixing was puzzled, Du Fu further explained that there is a saying in Chang'an City that is "The East is noble and the West is rich". The northeast corner is the place with the most noble people in Chang'an City. The palaces and kings' houses are all here, and high-ranking officials also live here, so the prices here are very high. There are many Hu people in the west, so there are many rich people, but the overall level is still much worse than the East - after all, rich businessmen are a minority, and those with richer people are rarer than those with high-ranking officials - so the prices are generally cheaper.

Li Zaixing suddenly realized. When he entered the city, he already knew that the south of the city was the place where poor people lived. Now he realized that the north of the city was divided into different places, and the east of the city was not evenly balanced. The richest man in the Tang Dynasty was in the east of the city. No wonder the prostitutes in Pingkangfang were the most famous in the Tang Dynasty.

After understanding this truth, Li Zaixing did not dare to neglect any more. He went out with Du Fu, Lu Hu and A Duan followed him and headed straight to Xicheng.

...

After leaving the south gate of Pingkangfang, Lu Hu grabbed Tellephi and prevented it from moving. Li Zaixing was surprised and saw a long train coming from the north, with dozens of knights clearing the road in front. Behind the knights, a group of white-faced and beardless men walked towards him, looking like eunuchs. Behind them, there were dozens of palace maids, some carrying flower blue in their hands, some holding incense burners, surrounding a luxurious carriage.

"This is Yang Guifei's car driver." Du Fu said in surprise: "Why did she go home alone to visit her relatives?"

"Yang Guifei?" Li Zaixing was also surprised. He saw Yang Guifei, one of the four beauties so soon. However, he immediately remembered the shocking scene on Zhuque Street yesterday, and shook his head with lingering fear. Huan Feiyan Skinny, this great beauty Yang is not a meat ball, right? Alas, I really have no blessing to the beauties of the Tang Dynasty.

"Yes, the imperial concubine's private life is in Qinrenfang not far ahead." Du Fu pointed to the south: "Her brother Yang Zhao lives in Xuanyangfang, and her three sisters live in Xuanyangfang and Anyifang."

"Brother Du is very familiar with the residence of the Yang brothers and sisters."

"Uh..." Du Fu smacked his lips awkwardly: "For the sake of livelihood, he once went to write poems and essays."

“What’s the result?”

Li Zaixing regretted it as soon as he said that if Du Fu's writing was useful, would he still live in Bodhi Temple?

Sure enough, Du Fu looked embarrassed and speechless. Li Zaixing immediately changed the subject: "Will the imperial concubine come home to visit her relatives? Is it so popular?"

Du Fu did not say anything. He said "Huh" and whispered: "The situation is not right. In the past, the imperial concubines always traveled with the emperor. Even if they went home to visit their relatives, they would walk through the imperial road in the middle. How could they walk on the road today?"

Li Zaixing looked carefully and then realized that the road Yang Guifei was walking on was the west side of the middle, not the imperial road in the middle. Is there a difference? He looked at Du Fu, but Du Fu said nothing, but just watched the convoy pass by silently. Sure enough, the convoy stopped at the place in Qinrenfang in front. The car Yang Guifei was riding and the palace maids who accompanied her entered Qinrenfang. The knights guided the front and back rolled up the flags and went back and forth.

"My brother, wait," Du Fu said, urging the skinny donkey, approached the team, shouted a few words, and then came back. He ran sweaty, panting like the skinny donkey under his crotch, but his face was full of excitement.

"The imperial concubine seemed to have angered the emperor and was driven back to her private life and reflected on herself."

Li Zaixing was puzzled: "The imperial concubine angered the emperor and went home to reflect on herself. Why did Brother Du be so excited?"

Du Fu said happily: "Oh, I think, when the imperial concubine comes home to reflect on herself, the emperor will have time to manage the government. If I offer tribute at this time, I might have the chance to be seen by the emperor."

Li Zaixing almost didn't come up in one breath. It turned out that not only the poets are officials, but also the poets are officials. He actually wanted to take advantage of the couple - no, they should be old, it was not right. It seemed that Yang Guifei was not old yet. Alas, no matter how much, it was the couple - who was in conflict with him. This guy was a bit unkind.

The team passed, Li Zaixing and Du Fu got on the road again and walked west along the straight street. Du Fu had been thinking about offering tribute and seeking official positions, so he was a little absent-minded in his speech. Li Zaixing said he was speechless.

When he arrived in the western market, Du Fu was indeed familiar with the family. He took Li Zaixing to the horse shop first and picked up a horse. It was not the best horse, about 8,000 yuan, or ordinary horses for Du Fu to ride. He sold Du Fu's skinny donkey at a low price, bought two strong donkeys for Lu Hu and A Duan to carry. Then he went to the silk shop. Li Zaixing bought two sets of clothes himself, bought a set for Du Fu, and bought some fabrics, and went back to make clothes for Yang and Du Zongwen. He bought another car. It was normal for women from the Tang Dynasty to ride horses out, but Yang was born into a family and was still used to riding a car.

After walking around, he spent a total of 31,700 people. Du Fu looked at the horse and then looked at the new clothes, and was very embarrassed. Lu Hu didn't say anything. First, he was just a servant and was not qualified to say anything. Second, the money was given by Juehui, and it would be fine if he didn't spend it. Why should he save money for Juehui, which made Li Zaixing unhappy.

Everything was right. They threw the things they bought on the horse's back, led the horse, and walked towards the slaves. As soon as they entered the door, a middle-aged Hu man with a big beard and a deep nose came up. With a swept of his small eyes, he confirmed that Li Zaixing was the financial backer among the group. He greeted enthusiastically: "This master looks pretty. I think it's his first time to come. I wonder if he wants to buy someone or sell someone?"

"Buy people."

"Buy a healthy slave or a beautiful maid?"

Li Zaixing really didn't understand these differences and scratched his head: "I just wanted to find a maid who can do laundry, cook and do some chores, and there were no too many requirements."

"Master, there is still a difference here." The middle-aged Hu man looked at Li Zaixing up and down, and his smile became brighter: "Look at his handsomeness, dragon walking and tiger walking, I think he is a hero with high martial arts skills. If you buy a maid and can follow you out to hunt, you have to buy a strong Turkic maid or Khitan maid with flexible hands and feet, and first-class riding skills. If you are a man, you will not disappoint you. If you want to buy a sing and dancing and charming person to warm the bed, then buy a Silla maid, with a soft voice and good kung fu, so that you can serve him comfortably. If you like the Western Regions style and exotic style, then buy a Persian maid. If you have a different taste and a darker color, we also have the best Kunlun female slaves here..."

Li Zaixing was completely distraught by him. He just bought a maid who was washing clothes and cooking. Is it necessary to make it so complicated? Moreover... There are so many kinds of female slaves in the Tang Dynasty, which is worthy of being an international metropolis. He was suppressed by the middle-aged man and felt too uncomfortable. He immediately interrupted the introduction of the middle-aged man: "You don't have to say so much, I just bought a maid who was washing clothes and cooking. You talked for a long time, why are there all barbarians? Don't tell me that there are no Tang people here."

A hint of annoyance flashed through the middle-aged Hu people's eyes, and the smile on his round face became stronger. He said carefully: "This master is in a small business and he dare not do these things." As he said, he came over, took out a handful of money from his sleeve and stuffed it into Li Zaixing's hand: "Thank you for your hard work, a little money is not worthy of respect. I will take it to drink a glass of wine to relieve my fatigue."

Li Zaixing looked at him for no reason and then looked at the money in his hand: "What do you mean? Send the beggar?"

The middle-aged Hu Ren was almost crying, and his lips twitched. He turned around and winked at the Hu servant standing beside him, and smiled and said, "Master, wait a moment, I will arrange the wine and food now, please give me a look."

Li Zaixing was even more puzzled. Why were the merchants in the Tang Dynasty so polite, not only did they not want money, but they also had to give money?

Du Fu walked over and coughed: "You misunderstood. We are not here to fight Qiufeng. We really want to buy a maid who washes and cooks. You don't have to look too good, just work hard and endure hardship. You can find a few suitable ones for us to see, and don't arrange any wine and food."

"Take it seriously?" The middle-aged Hu Shang was overjoyed and looked at Du Fu up and down. Seeing that although Du Fu was dressed simply, he was gentle and had no arrogant look on his face, he believed it and quickly turned around to arrange it.

Du Fu turned around and whispered to Li Zaixing: "Brother, you scared him. It is normal for these Hu merchants to buy and sell slaves, but no one dares to buy and sell Tang people. Once they meet escaped slaves, they will get involved in a lawsuit."

Li Zaixing was puzzled: "If there is no, there is no, why bother so nervous?"

"My brother is majestic." Du Fu wanted to laugh but didn't laugh: "We dressed simply again, and he probably regarded us as a ranger who beats Qiufeng."

"Ranker?" Li Zaixing suddenly realized, and then he couldn't laugh or cry: "It's still the one who beat Qiufeng, am I very fierce?"
