As I walked along Liu Xiang Street, I turned into an alley and suddenly found countless women with flowers in their hair. I hurried to leave, but Xi Yue said, "What's the hurry? It's not like you've never seen a woman before."
Our destination is estimated to be an inn in a remote corner of the county town.
The joy made me look aside and said: You see, these are all kilns, that is, brothels, Qinglou, do you know or not, you can't go.
I don't know why I asked: Why can't I go?
Delighted with great anger: You - then you can go.
I said: The money is all with you, how can I go?
Xi Le punched me and said: You little rascal, you actually know that when going to a brothel, it's you who gives the girl money, not the other way around. He asked, how did you know?
I said: What do I know? Now wherever you go, isn't it all about spending money? Even such a horse cost a lot of silver.
Xi Le said: That's right, in short, you can't go to a brothel, do you know that the women in the brothel are not good people.
I suddenly understood and said: In fact, they may not be, forced by circumstances, what if.
Xile said: When I was young, I also had no choice but to beg for food with my old grandfather. Why didn't you go to a brothel and become a prostitute? To make a living, anyway can make a living, cannot be like these women, gluttonous and lazy...
But - I really dare not say.
Xile said: Honestly, I won't hit you.
I said: Ha, at that time you were too young.
Xile heard it and beat me up at once.
Luxurious scenery and light music are all passing by. The size of the brothels is very large, mostly two floors or more, with red silk hanging green. How can there be so many brothels? I thought, it's really "the blue sky is not as big as the brothel". Xile said that's still small, when we arrive in Chang'an, it will definitely be even bigger and more numerous.
I asked Xile: Does the Qinglou pay taxes?
Xǐlè shuō: dōu shì shōu shuì de kāi de,shàng shénme shuì.
Translation:
Xi Le said: They are all tax-collecting openings, what kind of tax is this?
I said: This is really sinful.
Xi Le said: "You idiot, you guys are so used to it after going twice, definitely still can't get enough, how come there's only this few girls?"
I burst out laughing and said: You little brat, I suspect you sleep in the temple at night, how come you look like you sneak out every night to sleep in a world of flowers.
