Chapter 343: High Profile
Knowing what to say, Feng Ling smiled and waved her hand: "Wait, you come with me first, Luoying, you are waiting for us here." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Luo Ying nodded in response: "Yes." "If she's not mistaken, there should be a dark room in this room. She had been watching carefully when she had just walked over. This purple bamboo house is not with other guest houses, but in the southwest of the front yard, in a lonely corner, and then to the west is only three zhang is the west corner door of the Hundred Bird Pavilion, and the closest to it in the Hundred Bird Pavilion is the west hall that can hold a poetry meeting, and there is also a distance of three zhang.
Luo Ying thought that in the past, when the Hundred Bird Pavilion was still a joy building, this location should be the legendary expensive special private room for mysterious benefactors. Some nobles and scholars don't want others to know that he is a prostitute, so they will spend a lot of money to book this kind of private room, and secretly enter and exit through the corner door after dark.
Sure enough, as Luo Ying guessed, Feng Ling walked to the table, turned over the calligraphy and painting, pressed one of the bricks with her fist, saw that the brick popped out about an inch, carefully removed, there was a knob inside, reached in and twisted, the wall next to the table actually opened a brick wall door about five feet high and two feet wide. At first glance, the space is not large, like a wardrobe, but there is a bright light coming up from below, and it can be seen that it is the entrance to an underground secret room.
Zhiruo's eyes were full of surprise, there were no gaps in this wall at all, it was amazing!
Feng Ling restored the brick under the calligraphy and painting, and then took Zhiruo into the basement and closed the door from the inside.
There are three oversized rooms in the basement, like a large study room plus a large vault for storing gold, silver, jewelry and other valuables, plus a weapons and grain storage room, which is the core of the Jiangzhou branch of Dayuanfang. From the secret passage in the large bedroom of the purple bamboo room is the large study, and there is also a secret passage at the end of the storage room.
Zhiruo's eyes lit up: "Sister, going up from here, it should be where you live, right?"
Feng Ling nodded and smiled: "Exactly, above is my study where I handle affairs." "The second master is right, the eldest girl is really very smart.
"Alright, let's go out first, and we'll come here in the middle of tonight to talk about it in detail. Feng Ling said, "The performance of the Hundred Bird Pavilion is only until the beginning of the time, except for the guests staying in the hotel, everyone else will be cleared and asked to leave. At this time, she took Qi Mubai to see the guest room, and staying too long was easy to arouse suspicion.
Zhiruo nodded: "Well, I'm going to go out for a walk in the afternoon to see what aura Haishi has brought to Guanghai?" Guanghai is not very prominent in Jiangzhou, and it is much inferior to Qingtian County. However, when she came all the way from the city gate just now, she felt that Guanghai was quite lively, and there were indeed many people who were obviously from other places.
Feng Ling pursed her lips: "What kind of aura, I think there is a demonic aura, not so much that the sea market has attracted so many people, but that someone is acting as a demon, deliberately attracting literati warlocks and strange people and righteous people." ā
"What do you mean," Zhiruo Yirin, "then there is a problem with Minzhi County?"
Feng Ling shook her head: "I did think so before, but that person from Minzhi County ...... Some are sour, some are campy, some are ambitious, and some are ...... Timid...... Cowardly. "Such a person may rely on the wealth of his wife clan to rush to use silver to smash his political achievements and get promoted, but half a year has passed, although some people come and go, the number of people who come to the sea has not decreased at all. She intuitively felt that things were not simple, and whether it was Haishi or Minzhi County, the color head was just a gimmick and a disguise.
If you know it, this is an important reason why the Jiangzhou branch of Dayuanfang is stationed in Guanghai.
"By the way, we were glued on the way to Guanghai," Zhiruo said with a smile, "She said that she was the niece of Mrs. Minzhi County, and she said that she wanted her uncle and aunt to thank me." ā
Feng Ling wrung her eyebrows as soon as she heard that someone was sticking to Zhiruo: "Niece, I've heard of this, Mrs. Min's sister and brother-in-law both died when they met bandits two years ago, and it doesn't seem that a daughter is doing very well." The girl is seventeen years old this year, and she can get rid of her filial piety at the end of the year, and Mrs. Min brought her to Guanghai this time, firstly, to pity her niece, and secondly, to say a family affair for her. ā
Is it still in the filial piety period? If you arouse a touch of ridicule, Wang Haitang was dressed in bright pink that day, but today she seems to be wearing a blue color.
"I guess that Wang Haitang is moving his mind and wants to climb up to Qi Mubai. Feng Ling looked at Zhiruo, who was dressed in men's clothes in front of her and had a cold and elegant posture, and couldn't help but tease. Nowadays, the further south you go, the more the word "Qi Mubai" is sought after by girls.
Zhiruo doesn't see it this way: "There is probing, estimating, and calculating in her eyes, but there is no love, which is my intuition when I meet her face to face." ā
Women believe in intuition very much, and the intuition of secret spies is more sensitive, so Feng Ling absolutely does not reject the word "intuition", and I have heard Liang Dahai say a lot of things that Zhiruo has done in the past year, so I pay more attention to her intuition. Therefore, she has not seen Wang Haitang yet, and Feng Ling has already paid attention and be wary of her. Years of experience in secret spies have taught her that there are no people and things that do not need to be suspected, only secret spies who are not good at finding suspicious points.
Feng Ling's face also became solemn: "Don't worry, girl, I will be cautious, I have a very good relationship with Mrs. Min, and Lord Min often comes to the Hundred Bird Pavilion to listen to music and watch songs and dances." A few days ago, Mrs. Min also said that when her niece came, she would bring her to watch the show together. Don't look at the fact that our Hundred Bird Pavilion has only been opened for a short time, and now everyone knows that those literati and righteous people like to come here to relax or party. What do they say, the elegant people smell the birds and the laymen look at the flowers and shake, hehe. ā
Guanghai County originally had two competing brothels, Xunhuanlou and Wanhualou, and later Xunhuanlou was sealed, originally Wanhualou was very proud, monopolizing the limelight. Unexpectedly, I met a county magistrate who was disgusted with the green building, and the real literati and fake scholars who came from other places were attracted by the novel business form of the Hundred Bird Pavilion, and felt that the Hundred Bird Pavilion was more elegant than the brothel building, and more lively and affectionate than the teahouse, which was the most suitable for them to be such tasteful gentlemen. In less than two months, the street has been full of singing tunes like "elegant people smell birds and ordinary people watch flowers shake".
Moreover, unlike Wanhualou, the customer base of Bainiao Pavilion is much larger, and both men and women can eat it. Women can also go to the Bird Pavilion to watch the show. The Bird Pavilion has private seats, curtains can be hung down, private rooms can also be selected, and there are even small special rooms that can be booked for many people, which are all suggestions from Zhiruo in the earliest planning book of the Wishing Workshop.
When the two of them walked out of the tunnel, Luoshuang had already returned, and was talking to Luoying, when they saw the secret passage door open, they ran over curiously and stretched their necks to look: "Master, what's the big deal down there?" Luoying Luoshuang The two sisters are twins, but their temperaments are completely different, Luoying is calm, and Luoshuang is lively.
Zhiruo nodded at her funny: "Won't you go down and take a look at yourself at night?" Luoshuang's temperament is somewhat similar to Rudong, of course, after all, he has been trained by secret spies, and he is much darker and more ruthless than Dong, but in front of Zhiruo, she is a frank and lovely little girl like Rudong, and Zhiruo, who was reborn in the third world, thought they were little sisters in her heart.
"Okay, okay," Luoshuang nodded, in fact, she learned to hide her true temperament before she was ten years old, and then the master's family was sold as an official slave and then trained to become a secret spy, she was even more silent, until she came to the master's side, she slowly let go of her true temperament. It was also when she got to her master's side that she felt that her life had more meaning.
The meals cooked in the kitchen of Hundred Birds Pavilion are indeed very good, and they are the most comfortable and satisfying meals that I have eaten since I went out for more than a month. She thought, maybe it was also related to her mood, and she was down-to-earth in her own territory.
After lunch, the three of them went out into the street, this time not in a carriage, but on horseback. A black brocade robe embroidered with straight green bamboo and cyan trim, and the jasper crown on the bun, coupled with the best jade jade plate on the waist, the cyan embroidered golden turtle purse, and the iconic golden fire-shaped mask on the face, perfectly set off the image of a gorgeous noble son, and will also be a little petite as a boy Qi Mubai lining more slender.
Luoshuang sighed: "Master, you came to Guanghai in such a high-profile manner, didn't you want the people who had the heart to gather the Naqi people and righteous people to also target you?"
Zhiruo glanced at her and sneered: "Since there are people who have been sticking all the way, do you still need to be high-profile to be conspicuous? Qi Mubai is a high-profile master, do you know?"
As soon as the master and servant came out of the Hundred Bird Pavilion, they went straight to the beach, acting a full set, and he Qi Mubai came to the excitement brought by the sea market and the Hundred Bird Pavilion. Qi Mubai has been like this since he was born, he loves to join in the fun, loves to be high-profile, and arrogant and uninhibited, which is another distinctive characteristic of him in addition to being fast and accurate in doing business.
Sure enough, there were a lot of people gathered on the seaside, some people were serious about poems and paintings, some people were trying to talk about the brilliant results that would be brought by going to the sea to build an island, some people talked about the way to govern the county and the country with relish, and some people seemed to be a little deceived, but they still talked about poetry and Taoism with three or two people who fell in love, and even talked about the reason for the existence of the Hundred Bird Pavilion......
As Feng Ling said, the county government actually sent someone to build a shed there, set up tables and chairs, and prepared paper and ink, and all those who felt that they belonged to the talented, righteous, and capable people could fill in their names, addresses, leave their own works, or describe their abilities on the "Haishi Wenren Record". To Zhiruo's surprise, most people went to register to keep ink, and they all said that the ancients were introverted and subtle, and it seems that Daying people are still very willing to self-recommend and look for opportunities to rise.
Feng Ling said that this kind of practice has also been practiced in other places, and there is no special purpose, but only as a record of a grand event, specifically, such a register is put together with a record of major events, as evidence to witness such a spectacle and grand event as the "sea market".
However, Zhiruo just thinks that the purpose of this roster is not simple, which has the meaning of "audition". (To be continued.) )
