i have ten aunts

Gratefully glanced at Shen Ziqing, bowed and said: "Master Shen, you are the best customer I have ever met, I am not tired at all when I help you pull the cart, I am full of energy.

Don't worry, I will be there on time tomorrow morning."

Shen Ziqing smiled and nodded, "Thank you very much for today."

As he said that, he turned around and was about to go in. At this time, Gou Li hurriedly said: "Master Shen, don't go out if you have nothing to do at night. Yanjing City is not peaceful at night. If you want to have something to do, just let the waiter of this shop help me, and I will immediately arrive."

"OK, I remember"

Shen Ziqing still agreed with Gou Li's advice.

Especially seeing such a bloody scene in the vegetable market today, to be honest, even now, thinking about it, I feel chills and blood surging.

For this first night of the Republic of China, Shen Ziqing had no idea of ​​going out for a stroll at all.

"Then you rest, I'll go first"

After Gou Li finished speaking, he smiled honestly and pulled the rickshaw away gradually.

Looking at Gou Li's back, Shen Ziqing was very curious.

Gou Li, this guy, dragged him for a distance of more than ten kilometers today, and he would have been too tired for an ordinary person.

On the other hand, Gou Li was neither blushing nor angry, he looked high-spirited, and he didn't seem to be exerting much effort.

Do the people of the Republic of China have a good physique?

It shouldn't be, I saw a few rickshaw drivers today, they were all as tired as dead dogs.

It seems that this Gou Li should have some kung fu.

I can't figure it out, and I don't bother to think about it.

Walking into the Crescent Hotel, the doorman hurried forward.

"My lord, are you staying in a hotel or eating?"

Shen Ziqing asked doubtfully, "What? Can't you eat and stay at the hotel at the same time?"

Doorman: ...

The other doorman looked more alert and quick to respond, and hurriedly said: "Of course, my lord, please come inside."

When we arrived at the counter, the shopkeeper hurriedly smiled and said, "Master, do you want to stay or eat?"

The corner of the doorman's mouth twitched, his head was lowered in embarrassment, his face was slightly red, and he seemed to feel a little embarrassed.

Shen Ziqing was happy, and said again: "I'm staying in a hotel and eating at the same time, can't I?"

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment. Few people were serious about this issue, but the response was quick.

"My lord, what is your surname, do you live in an ordinary room, a medium room, or a superior room?"

"Oh, what's the price"

"Ordinary room costs 800 yuan a day, medium room costs 3 yuan, and superior room costs [-] yuan"

Shen Ziqing frowned slightly when he heard the chaotic sounds around him. There was no soundproof equipment in this day and age, so how could he sleep at night, so he asked, "Is there anything quieter here?"

The shopkeeper was a little surprised, and then nodded: "Yes, we have another courtyard here, but it is more expensive, ten yuan a day"

After finishing speaking, the shopkeeper took a look at Shen Ziqing, as if he wanted to see if Shen Ziqing could really come up with so much money.

These days, 20 yuan can buy a maid.

Regarding housing, Shen Ziqing was not stingy, so he directly said without thinking, "Then live in another hospital."

The shopkeeper asked suspiciously: "You are alone, are you sure you want to live in another hospital?"

Under normal circumstances, those who rent out the other courtyard are dart walkers, or high-ranking officials with a large number of entourages, and few people live alone in such a spacious courtyard.

"Don't you still have rules here?" Shen Ziqing asked doubtfully;

The shopkeeper choked when asked, he wanted to think about you, since you are not short of money, so he will not talk too much.

"Of course not, just sign your name here"

Shen Ziqing took the brush, feeling a little embarrassed, he couldn't write with a brush.

When the shopkeeper looked at Shen Ziqing's signature, the twisted and ugly characters, and even the fonts were a little different. If Shen Ziqing hadn't explained it, the shopkeeper would really have to think about it for a long time.

These days, traditional characters are used.

I also wondered in my heart, this master is not an ordinary person, why is this word so ugly?

As a shopkeeper, I still have the minimum self-cultivation, suppressing the doubts in my heart and saying again:

"A room in the Xinyue Courtyard, take Master Shen to rest"

The waiter led Shen Ziqing through the corridor, and what came into view was a courtyard in the south of the Yangtze River.

Rockery, lotus, corridors, pavilions, bamboo and screen walls are elegant and quiet, I have to say that it is worth the money.

The shop waiter pushed open the door and said with a smile: "Mr. Shen, this is your residence, and guests who live in Xinyue Courtyard can go to the second floor to listen to the opera for free, and the meals are also free, and someone will come over soon serve you"

Before the words were finished, two small footsteps came.

I saw two antique women in light blue cheongsams walking slowly and lightly.

Fair skin and beautiful, tall and tall, without makeup, but looks sweet and very pleasant, not an ordinary school girl.

I have to say that the pure natural look is seductive.

Shen Ziqing didn't believe it when he heard that there were so many beauties in the Republic of China before, but now he believes it again.

The soft curves, against the backdrop of the cheongsam, are even more exquisite.

Sure enough, the cheongsam is the most beautiful display of the figure.

The two girls smiled slightly at Shen Ziqing, then clasped their fists together, bent down and saluted Shen Ziqing.

Shen Ziqing was a little surprised, this kind of ceremony was only seen in Qing palace dramas, and he didn't expect someone to show it to him today.

"Master Shen"

"Xiao Er, who are they?"

The waiter at the side hurriedly explained: "These two are Dong Ge and Qiu Ju. They were both draft girls before, but they were accepted by the Crescent Hotel after being rejected in the end. They are all trained in court etiquette, and they specialize in entertaining distinguished guests.

These two days, let the two of them serve your food and daily life, it is completely an emperor-level enjoyment. "

Shen Ziqing looked at Dong Ge and Qiu Ju's charming and beautiful appearances, and joked: "If the emperor is still here, you dare to use court ladies, and you won't be afraid of the little emperor, saying that you are rebellious."

The waiter immediately said disdainfully: "I'm not afraid of your jokes, the little emperor now has no rights at all, who knows when his life will be lost, only soldiers have power in this day and age.

Alright, don't disturb your rest"

Dong Ge and Qiu Ju hurried forward to help Shen Ziqing undress.

Shen Ziqing was not used to being served like this for a while, so she hurriedly waved her hands.

"No, no, I'll do it myself"

Seeing Shen Ziqing's distressed look, Dong Ge and Qiu Ju pursed their lips and started laughing.

Dong Ge said with a smile: "Master Shen, then you sit down first, we will fetch water for you and take a bath for you"

Before Shen Ziqing refused, Dong Ge and Qiu Ju left in a hurry, leaving only a faint fragrance in the room.

This fragrance seemed to have a kind of magical power, which made all kinds of messy thoughts in Shen Ziqing's mind come to him.

It seemed that his concentration was getting worse and worse, Shen Ziqing blushed, and secretly scolded himself for being worthless, have you never seen a woman?

I have to say, the value of these ten big ocean flowers.

As if feeling that he was about to fall, Shen Ziqing couldn't help feeling sad, and couldn't help crying.

'This evil feudal capitalism is still corrupted by it, Anima is so fragrant! '.

Chapter 8 auction?

Without keeping Shen Ziqing waiting, Dong Ge and Qiu Ju filled up the hot water in about 10 minutes.

Dong Ge blushed slightly and smiled, "Master Shen, let us take a bath for you."

Although Shen Ziqing had taken a bath before, he was really not used to being served like this. He could only feel that this evil feudal society was really depressing.

"No, no, you guys go to rest, I'll do it by myself," Shen Ziqing waved his hands quickly;

Although he really wanted to experience it, Shen Ziqing still felt that he couldn't get rid of it.

Without further ado, Qiu Ju came up to help Shen Ziqing undress.

"Master Shen, you are a distinguished guest of the Crescent Hotel, it is our honor to serve you," Dong Ge explained with a smile;

Shen Ziqing pretended to evade it a few times, and enjoyed it logically.

We don't call it bullying, we spent money, and if I don't enjoy it, others will enjoy it.

Thinking about it this way, Shen Ziqing felt much less guilty.

It's the first time to take a bath in a wooden barrel, let alone really comfortable.

Especially on the shoulders, two pairs of spring green hands, the intensity of the massage is just right, it is really not suitable for a god.

Shen Ziqing was still curious about the identities of the two women.

So, he couldn't help but said: "The little girl just said that you were selected as a show girl in the palace before?"

Dong Ge and Qiu Ju nodded, and Dong Ge said: "It's not that we were banned, but it happened 5 years ago, we were only 13 years old, and the Changchun Palace we were originally assigned was to serve the Empress Dowager Yulong.

In 1911, when the Qing emperor abdicated, the Empress Dowager Yulong felt uneasy, depressed, and eventually fell ill

When the Empress Dowager Yulong passed away three years ago, Yuan Shikai kicked us out on the grounds of saving money. "

Having said this, the two women seemed to be sad when they talked about it, their eyes turned red, and their faces were also dull.

Shen Ziqing asked doubtfully, "Then why did you come to the Crescent Hotel?"

Dong Ge lowered his eyebrows and said with a look of pity: "Our family all died when the 8-nation coalition invaded, and we were kicked out of the palace later, and we didn't have any money with us. If it wasn't for Xinyue With the help of the young lady of the hotel, we estimate that they have become the top names in Yihong Courtyard."

In Shen Ziqing's heart, she expressed sympathy for the tragic experience of women in this era, the inexplicable filthiness in her heart disappeared, and her mind became clear.

Why!Still too soft-hearted, this disease can be cured.

Shen Ziqing said, "Yin Xinyue, the eldest lady of the New Moon Hotel?"

Dong Ge shook his head and explained: "Yin Xinyue is the daughter of Yin Nanfeng, the owner of the New Moon Hotel. The eldest lady we are talking about is Yin Nanfeng's younger sister, Yin Nanxue, and she is also one of the owners of the New Moon Hotel. run all over the country"

Hearing this, Shen Ziqing thought to himself, the old Nine Sects all came from tomb robbers, so could it be that Yin Nanxue often went to tomb robbers?

At the same time, Shen Ziqing became curious about the background of the Crescent Hotel.

"Then do you know the background of the owner of the Crescent Hotel?"

Suddenly, Shen Ziqing felt a coldness.

Dong Ge and Qiu Ju, who were still warm and pleasant, turned serious.

Qiu Ju said coldly with no expression on her face: "What is the purpose of Mr. Shen coming here?"

Shen Ziqing also noticed the subtlety of the atmosphere, and then smiled and said: "You don't need to be so nervous, I'm just curious about why the Crescent Hotel can stand in the capital, if it's not convenient, just say so."

Qiu Ju and Dong Ge looked at Shen Ziqing, and the two women suddenly put their hands on Shen Ziqing's back. Half a day later, when they realized that Shen Ziqing was indeed an ordinary person, the two women breathed a sigh of relief and looked at each other to let go of their vigilance. .

Dong Ge laughed again and said, "This is related to the secrets of the Crescent Hotel, and it is not easy for us to tell unless we have the approval of the boss or the young lady."

Shen Ziqing didn't expect that the two women would still be so secretive about the Crescent Hotel.

Since he didn't want to talk about it, Shen Ziqing didn't bother to ask.

After bathing, Dong Ge said with a smile: "Master Shen, there will be another special auction in a while. If you are interested, you can go and have a look. Maybe there is something you like."

"Oh, when will the auction start?" Shen Ziqing asked curiously;

"Eight o'clock in the evening, but if you want to participate in the auction, you need an introduction from an acquaintance," Dong Ge said;

Shen Ziqing was speechless for a while, "If you say that, isn't it impossible for me to go?"

Dong Ge shook his head and said with a smile: "That's not necessary, you live in Xinyue Courtyard, you are a VIP, of course you don't need to be introduced by acquaintances."

The so-called acquaintance introduction, the key is to see if you have money. If you don't have money, even if someone introduces you, it's useless.

From the perspective of the Crescent Hotel, anyone who can spend ten yuan a night is a master who is not short of money, and there is no need for an introduction from an acquaintance.
