"Brother-in-law, why do you suddenly want to buy a house? Are you planning to live in Guangling for a long time?"

Pan Long nodded: "The north is bitter and cold. In the future, after Cui Gu becomes pregnant, it is better to live in Yangzhou. It is safer for the child to grow up in Yangzhou."

Wu Jixing couldn't help laughing: "You're not even married yet, are you already thinking about these things?"

"It's nothing wrong with preparing early."

"That's right, anyway, the housing prices in Guangling City have been rising. It's better to buy early than to buy late." "Ding Laoheng, one of the two generals of Hunha under Wu Jixing, smiled. "Some time ago, the county magistrate (Guangling Prefect) even issued a special document, restricting the family from only allowing one property in Guangling City. In the past, some of them were either sold or paid heavy taxes every year... In this way, the housing prices in Guangling are still rising."

Pan Long was shocked and immediately remembered a memory from his previous life and asked: "How high is the housing prices in Guangling now?"

The short and fat "Song Xiaoha" said a number.

Pan Long frowned slightly, the housing prices were a little beyond his expectations.

It’s not that he can’t buy it, but… Guangling’s housing prices are so high that he always makes him have some bad associations.

"Are the rich people in Yangzhou flocking to Guangling?" he said to himself, "It's not necessary... Unless there are shops here to run, under normal circumstances, it's enough to send a few people to set up a spot here and get commercial news in time..."

"Brother-in-law, what are you talking about? Why does rising housing prices make you so worried?" Wu Jixing asked curiously.

Pan Long laughed dryly - of course he couldn't say that this was a psychological shadow from his youth in his previous life.

Fortunately, Wu Jixing didn't ask. Although she was not old, she had a rich experience in the world. She had already understood the truth of "everyone has his own secret".

Accompanied by her, Pan Long walked around Guangling City for an afternoon, looked at several properties, and finally finalized the contract and bought one of them.

It was a mansion with twenty-one large and small rooms, a large courtyard and a small courtyard, and could accommodate forty or fifty people.

The original owner of this room was a wealthy businessman with a weird name, named Jin San. He originally had multiple properties in Guangling City. Because he recently planned to leave Yangzhou and go to other areas to develop, he planned to take out part of it and only keep one property.

His properties, both large and small, are very good in their location. This mansion is no exception.

It is located in the north of Guangling City, and is a little distance from the city wall. There are no tall buildings nearby, and the lighting is very good. It is also a certain distance from the main road running through Guangling City - but not far away. It can not only reach the main road smoothly, but also has a certain buffer if there is a war mutiny and other things, so that it will not be affected by the fish.

Of course, as Pan Long's house, there must be few people in the world who dare to come here to cause trouble.

Both yards in the house were built into gardens, and Pan Long was quite dissatisfied with this. After buying the house, he talked with Yaxing for a while and asked Yaxing to find someone to renovate the house and convert the large yard in front into a martial arts training ground.

If there is no martial arts training ground at home, he always feels something is short.

The people at the Yass Store were puzzled and did not understand why the good garden was flattened and built into a martial arts training ground. But the rich one was the old man. Since the owner of the house was willing, of course they had no objection.

However, Wu Jixing felt it was a pity and advised Pan Long to keep the garden and change the small courtyard behind it into a martial arts training ground.

"It's too small!" Pan Long shook his head, "It's less than ten feet in a radius. He can only practice boxing, foot, guns and sticks. He can't even practice bows and arrows, let alone practice horse riding or something..."

Wu Jixing was speechless. In her thoughts, isn’t the martial arts training ground just used to practice boxing, footing, guns and sticks? Even a martial arts training ground that can practice guns and sticks is already considered relatively large, and the general martial arts training ground is just practice boxing and feet.

As a result, Pan Long opened his mouth and wanted to practice bows and arrows and even cavalry battles. Isn’t this going to flatten the garden?

She couldn't persuade Pan Long, so she could only choose the flowers and trees she liked in the big garden with regret, and asked the Yashang to find a gardener to transplant it to the Yitian Villa.

After ending this little thing, Pan Long was about to go back to the inn to rest, and by the way, let "White Tiger Star" appear and provide some guidance to his apprentice Zheng Shuang. As a result, Wu Jixing asked him enthusiastically, if he was interested in going to the pleasure boat to play?

"Huafang?" Pan Long looked at Wu Jixing in surprise, feeling that his mind was a little unreal.

The so-called pleasure boat is actually a brothel built on a boat. These huge ships slowly sail on the water near Guangling City, receiving those who want to hunt for beauty but also be arty. The most important thing is that they do not want others to see their customers.

Pan Long had never been to such a place in two lives. He never dreamed that the first time he went there was when he was invited by his sister-in-law.

...It makes sense to say that your brother-in-law invites you to go there. Don’t you think it’s weird to talk about this kind of topic?

When Wu Jixing saw Pan Long's expression, he understood what he meant. He immediately blushed and immediately explained in a hurry.

It turned out that recently, Bai Yingxuan, a famous singer in Guangling City, was old and wanted to be good at practicing good things. The brothel "Chunfenglou" where she lives decided to hold a special singing and dancing performance for her to celebrate her ability to leave this flesh-and-hearted business and live a stable life.

Bai Yingxuan has been in the industry for more than ten years and has a great reputation. Many people are happy for her to be able to get on the ground smoothly. Even in Guangling literary world, many people will come to congratulate her.

Wu Jixing and Bai Yingxuan are quite familiar with each other. When Qionghua Pavilion negotiated with the Jianghu forces, they chose the negotiation location on her pleasure boat "Zuiyue Boat". Everyone has a good relationship, and now she wants to be a good person, so Wu Jixing naturally wants to support her.

Only then did Pan Long realize... it turned out that he was going to attend the celebration party for Congliang, not...hehe...

"Okay, I'll definitely arrive on time."

Of course he would not refuse, rather he was quite curious about the fact that he was also quite curious about the good.

Although storytelling books often mention women who are good at being good, in fact, this situation is rare. The bosses who run flesh and blood business are all black-hearted ghosts, so where can they release the money tree?

Unless you are really old and have no use value, you should not fantasize about becoming a good person once you become a monk.

Anyway, Pan Long has been in the world for several years, and has never heard of even a famous prostitute who succeeded in becoming a good person.

It is rare to meet, so of course he has to experience it.

That night, he changed his dress as a literati and came to the Yitian Villa early, and went to the "Drunk Moon Boat" with Wu Jixing and others to the "Drunk Moon Boat" on the Crescent Lake in the south of Guangling City.

Zuiyue Zhou is a very large ship, with a hull that is even larger than the giant passenger ship that Pan Long had seen in Tongtian River. But Pan Long could tell at a glance that the ship was large and unpredictable, and it was not fast, and it could not withstand the strong winds and waves. It could only be in a small and quiet water situation like the Crescent Lake, once it entered Tongtian River south, it would be afraid that the ship would capsize in minutes.

On the side of this big ship, lanterns were hung. Each lantern had a name, and it looked like it was all the names of women.

"These lanterns are the names of the girls who are picking up guests on the Zuiyue Boat." A tall and thin person named Ding Laoheng said, "If she has guests tonight, the lanterns will go out. If there are no guests, the lanterns will be on."

Pan Long looked at it and saw that more than twenty lanterns were all lit, which was quite spectacular.

"Stop watching, Zuiyuezhou will not do business tonight." A scholar next to him couldn't help but say, "Today is the great day for Master Yu, and of course her sisters should celebrate for her. Even if the manager of Chunfeng Tower is in charge, they should give them this face."

Pan Long nodded and smiled at the scholar.

Seeing that he was quite polite, the scholar smiled back, but seeing that his face clearly showed some nervousness, Pan Long couldn't help but wonder.

What does it have to do with this scholar if a famous prostitute is good?

Could it be that he is a fan of this prostitute, or even a guest who enters the curtain?

But this question is really hard to ask, so I can only give up.

The group got on the boat, entered the cabin from the stern, and led by the maid, they soon arrived at the hall at the top of the cabin.

The hall is built in a majestic way and doesn't look like it's on a boat at all. If it weren't for the slight ups and downs under your feet from time to time, it would even make people mistakenly think it was in a big restaurant on the shore.

As a leader of the Green Forest Power in Guangling City, the seats in Qionghua Pavilion have naturally been set long ago. In a small compartment separated by yarn.

There are two tables in the compartment, and the place is quite spacious. Pan Long and Wu Jixing sit at one table, and the two generals of Hum and Ha sit at another table, and there is also a maid guarding the door, waiting for the summons at any time.

In the observation hall of Pan Long, he saw eight such compartments. In addition, there were general seats. Many scholars and merchants dressed in general seats were waiting in the general seats, looking forward to it.

More than one person had a look of regret on his face. It seemed that Bai Yingxuan, the famous prostitute called "Rain Master", was indeed very popular.

His eyes looked up again and noticed that there were many colorful silks hanging down from the roof of the hall. Except for a piece of white silk, other colorful silks had names on them.

"What's the matter with the names on those colorful silk?" he asked.

"That was the courtesan of this pleasure boat in the past." Ding Laoheng explained, "The color of the colorful silk represents their final outcome. White silk and green silk are good; red silk and yellow silk die prematurely; purple silk and blue silk remain in this line and finally become the manager."

Pan Long looked at it and saw that among the fourteen colorful silks, there were only two white silk, two green silk, one purple silk, one blue silk, and the rest were all red and yellow. He couldn't help but sigh.

There were fourteen famous prostitutes who could be called courtesans in front of and behind this ship, but among these fourteen famous prostitutes, not to mention going ashore to become good, there were only six who could live until old age. On the contrary, eight died young.

"It's true that it's a personal cannibalism!" He couldn't help but sigh.

Wu Jixing also shook his head, but said nothing.

If you say that people can eat people, isn’t it the green forest?

As a Green Forest, if she sighs this like a decent hero, Pan Long, it would be a bit pretentious and false.

Pan Long's eyes swept through the same compartments as them. With his eyesight, the thin gauze naturally could not block his sight. He saw tables in each compartment, including vegetables, fruits, wine and vegetables, and it was obvious that there were guests.

But maybe it was because they came early, except for theirs, there were only two compartments.

There were several scholars in a compartment, and they were discussing something with smiles. Pan Long listened carefully, but was discussing writing poems for Bai Yingxuan to celebrate her coming ashore and becoming a good person.

In another compartment is a burly man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and his appearance is even more ferocious. He is the type of person who walks at the city gate and makes the soldiers unsheathed their swords as if they are facing a great enemy.

The big man hugged the maid in his arms and took advantage of it while drinking. The scene was really unbearable. But looking at the maid's expression, he was not very unhappy. Pan Long guessed that both sides probably knew each other, and maybe the big man was a regular guest of the maid.

After a while, people came from all the compartments one after another. Pan Long noticed that the man who sat in the compartment had a serious expression, and his eyes were filled with the power that naturally arised from his long-term leadership position. He looked like a person with a high status.

This man's behavior was quite correct. He and a man who seemed to be a bodyguard were sitting at the same table, but he didn't speak, just drank tea silently.

There is also a person in the compartment that is worth mentioning. He was a fat man with a round face. His clothes were all golden, and there were also many golden leaves sewn on the clothes. It looked golden, as if he had written the four words "I am very rich" on his body.

When going out wearing this outfit, it really makes me feel a little robbed. This man dares to wear this, and doesn't even bring a bodyguard, so he must be very good at it.

Unfortunately, there are too many people in the hall and many people know martial arts. So many people gathered together, disrupting the flow of the heaven and earth's vitality, making Pan Long unable to judge this person's skills from the flow of the heaven and earth's vitality.

When all the guests in the eight compartments arrived, several singers came on stage to play the piano and sing. Pan Long's attainment in music was very average, that is, he could tell whether he was out of tune or not. At least to him, these singers played the piano and sang well. If they participated in talent shows in their previous life, at least they would not lose to others.

...The premise is that their competitors do not perform big stones on their chests.

I remember that when someone performed a single palm broken brick and a big stone on his chest during a talent show. The style was very wrong - and he even won.

After a few songs, a fat middle-aged man with a smile on his face came on stage and said a polite word, roughly thanking everyone for their conversation with Bai Yingxuan and his care for Chunfeng Tower for so many years, wishing Bai Yingxuan a smooth life and peace after he got on the shore... and so on.

At the beginning, these nonsense could get everyone's nod and applause. Soon some people began to be dissatisfied and shouted that the ugly man would get out and ask everyone to go on stage to sing.

The fat man was not embarrassed either. He laughed and got off the stage. Then a woman in blue and white clothes walked onto the stage with two maids.
