Chapter 2823 Changsan Bookstore
Half an hour later, Li Yun came to the legendary Four Horse Road.
It was originally one of the four roads leading to the Huangjiang Dock, hence the name.
After Zhonghai City became a colony of foreign powers, Sima Road became a luscious flower cave, especially Huifangli, where the whole Zhonghai City, and even half of Huang Xuanguo's top women's laughter were gathered.
Countless geisha who sell their skills but do not sell their bodies, the top brands of brothels, and the most senior, beauties known as "Changsan Shuyu" gather here, attracting countless dignitaries, businessmen and dignitaries to linger here and buy a smile.
The so-called Shangsanshuyu is actually two nouns.
One, Changsan, refers to the charging rules set by the famous queen of the late Qing Dynasty, Yuexian, which is 3 yuan for accompanying wine, 3 yuan for singing, and 3 yuan for staying overnight.
Therefore, it was jokingly called Changsan by the guests at that time, and it was nicknamed after the six-point pattern of the long card in the dominoes.
Changsan is also divided into many grades, 1. Unity Two (called "Xu and X Tang" and "Xu Yingyuan", such as Fuguitang, Yihongyuan), 2. Huayanjian (the development of opium cigarette shops, the women here no talent).
As for the other taiji, bacon farm, pheasant, Tang Pai, etc., it is even worse.
The lowest-level trick girls are called nail sheds. Most of them are middle-aged women who live very poor, withered bodies and poor looks. Not only are they undressed, they even entertain guests at the pier. in the hut by the side.
Therefore it is called a nail shed.
On the surface, Changsan is called a showman, but in fact it is only arty.
The elegance attached to it is naturally the highest-level "book house" among geisha.
The women in the bookstore are not called trick girls, but are called gentlemen and school books.
The reason why the name is so elegant is because all the women in it have been taught piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since childhood, and have a little understanding of the Four Books and Five Classics. Some even read newspapers from time to time, and they are extremely proficient in national affairs.
Because of this, they can chat with the guests, introduce each other as confidants, and can truly be a joker and a showman, and they can accompany the wine and sing instead of sleeping.
"Hey, sir, do you know?" The driver mentioned the women in the study, his eyes lit up and said, "I heard that all the gentlemen can speak the authentic Suzhou dialect because they want to sing. Those Suzhou women He looks ordinary, and what he says can make one's bones go soft. If the beauties in the bookstore say this in person, and can talk with them in a room*, it will be comfortable and true to the emperor. improper!"
Li Yun laughed dumbly.
If this coachman hadn't dared to mention the emperor, Li Yun would have thought that the current era was ancient.
Laughing and performing arts do not sell one's body, accompany the wine to sing and not sleep.
It's nice to say, but in fact these gentlemen
wait, sir?
Li Yun looked embarrassed, he could no longer look directly at the three words "Mr. Li"!
"Brother, take this money."
Standing in front of Huifangli Street, Li Yun grabbed another handful of silver dollars. This time, the driver said nothing, but Li Yun still threw the silver dollars on the rickshaw seat, turned and left, letting the driver behind him one Thanks so much, the people who came and went by the side of the road also glanced at it in amazement.
Fortunately, most of the people who can come to Huifangli on Four Roads are either rich or expensive, and they have some money in their pockets, so they don't pay much attention.
Li Yun knew that the coachman was just an NPC in a fantasy world, but he was not short of money now, and he just wanted a peace of mind.
