Chang 'an was undoubtedly deserted at night.
Other than the occasional patrolling soldiers and night watchmen, it was difficult to see a third type of people on the quiet streets.
Even the carriages driven by the palace servants were repeatedly interrogated and inspected after encountering the patrolling soldiers. They were not allowed to pass without hindrance because of the palace flag hanging on the carriage.
There is a saying: Six streets beat the drum to rest pedestrians, nine streets vast empty moon!
Once it was night time, even the Prime Minister and Generals were not allowed to walk on the streets without special orders, let alone ordinary people.
Sima Qian in Xu Yan's previous life had written about this in the Records of the Historian: "Flying General Li Guang drank until very late. On his way back, he walked to Baling Pavilion and was stopped by Baling Commandant.
Li Guang introduced himself, and the Baling Commandant said," Even the Great General doesn't allow people to travel at night, let alone you?'
When Li Guang heard this, he didn't dare to say anything and could only stay in the pavilion for the night.”
From this, one could see how strict the curfew was in this era. Even those with high status and power could not exceed the rules.
The palace servant drove Dongfang Shuo to the bus station, then drove Xu Yan back to Xiaoxiang Restaurant, and finally drove back.
At this moment, the manager of Xiaoxiang Restaurant was still awake.
When he saw Xu Yan return, he could not help but heave a sigh of relief. He hurriedly opened the door and let him in. He heaved a sigh of relief and said,"Master, you're back!"
That's right.
The Xiaoxiang Restaurant, which was famous throughout Chang 'an City and known as the number one female inn in Chang' an, was actually Xu Yan's own property.
This was the reason why he could eat and sleep in Xiaoxiang Restaurant without spending a single cent.
It wasn't because the courtesan of Xiaoxiang Restaurant saw that he was handsome and talented, so she kept him.
As everyone knew, in this era, the place with the fastest and most sources of information in the world.
One was the tavern.
The other one was the Nü Lu House.
Every transmigrator knew the importance of information channels.
Therefore, it was not strange for Xu Yan to set up dozens of restaurants and women's brothels as a source of information after transmigrating for so many years.
Not to mention that he had mastered the knowledge of cooking in iron pots and various entertainment projects in the future.
This allowed him to develop the Western Han Dynasty's food culture and entertainment culture more smoothly.
Of course, as a transmigrator with a proper outlook on life, Xu Yan's brothel would not be like other brothels in this era, bullying and forcing some young girls to do some dirty things that they were unwilling to do.
The women's brothels that he opened were all high-end clubs of the later generations. They paid attention to the mutual consent of both parties. There were both honest officials and red officials.
In fact, if there were honest and honest officials who earned enough money or found a good person, they would not be willing to engage in such services.
He would also let them go directly and would not force them to do anything they were unwilling to do.
It was also for this reason that the women's brothel under Xu Yan had an excellent reputation and was praised as a conscientious enterprise by the women's brothel practitioners.
In addition, before the Song Dynasty, the status of women in ancient times was still very high.
Especially during the Qin and Han Dynasties, everyone was very open-minded in certain aspects. They would not look down on women just because they remarried or became prostitutes.
For example, the current Empress Dowager, the mother of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, was a second wife.
Speaking of this empress dowager, she was also a legend.
The Empress Dowager was also a descendant of a prestigious family.
His father was an ordinary person, but his mother, Zang 'er, was the descendant of a famous family in the early Han Dynasty.
When the Overlord Xiang Yu was enfeoffing the 18 dukedoms, he had once conferred the title of King of Yan, Zang Tu, and Zang 'er was Zang Tu's granddaughter.
Although she was the granddaughter of the King of Yan, by the time Zang 'er reached adulthood, the Zang family had already fallen.
Later, Zang 'er married a commoner from Huai Li, Wang Zhong, and gave birth to a son named Wang Xin. He also had two daughters, the eldest daughter Wang Xi and the second daughter Wang Xi Xi.
After the death of Wang Zhong, Zang 'er remarried to Changling Tian and gave birth to two sons, Tian Wei and Tian Sheng.
When Wang He had just come of age, under the supervision of his mother, Zang 'er, he married into the family of an ordinary farmer's family. Not long after, Wang He gave birth to his eldest daughter, Jin Su.
When Wang He's mother, Zang 'er, asked Yao Weng, a fortune-teller, to read the faces of her children, Yao Weng told Zang' er,""Wang He is a noble person and will give birth to the Son of Heaven.”
Zang 'er was very happy after hearing this. Wang He also expressed that he would try his best.
Thus, Zang 'er forcefully brought Wang He back from Jin Wangsun's house and used many connections to send Wang He to the Crown Prince's Palace.
Later, Wang Wei gave birth to three daughters and one son for Liu Qi, Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty. His son was Liu Che, Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty.
Naturally, Wang He became the Empress Dowager.
Think about it, after Wang Ping's death, Wang He's mother, Zang 'er, remarried to the Tian family of Changling and gave birth to two sons, Tian He and Tian Sheng.
Princess Ping Yang, the elder sister of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, married Cao Shou first, then Xiahou Po, and finally General Wei Qing.
When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, found out that he had a half-sister, Jin Su, he personally brought her into the palace and conferred her the title of Lord Xiucheng.
Everyone would know how tolerant women were during the Western Han Dynasty.
There was no such thing as reputation, chastity, and so on. It was not as particular as the later dynasties, and there was also a certain amount of inheritance rights.
The degree of tolerance was comparable to the 21st century before Xu Yan transmigrated.
Therefore, it was not a big deal for Xu Yan to open a women's brothel in this era. He would not be despised by others and his reputation would not be damaged.
After all, the founder of Nvlu House was Guan Zhong, one of the sages of the Hundred Schools of Philosophy during the Spring and Autumn Period!
Guan Zhong was Guan Zhong, a native of Yingshang. He was a famous ancient Chinese mathematician, politician, philosopher, and military strategist.
At the same time, he was also the representative of Legalism during the Spring and Autumn Period. Later generations called him the Master of Legalism, the number one minister in China, the Master of Sages, and one of the indispensable sages among the hundreds of philosophers.
With Guan Zi, the Sage of the Hundred Schools of Philosophy, on his back.
What was Xu Yan afraid of?
Soon, he opened dozens of female brothels, which did not affect him from continuing to walk the path of sages of the ancient philosophers.
Of course, Xu Yan had made great contributions to the entertainment industry of this era.
However, he was a low-profile person.
Therefore, not many people knew that Xu Yan was the real owner of Xiaoxiang Restaurant.
Most people thought that he was a multi-talented man who was being kept by the Courtesan Belle of Xiaoxiang Restaurant.
He had no choice.
Who asked him to be handsome!
