Chapter 12 Looking at the river upstairs and looking at the river
Getting a silver ticket of 10,000 taels again, Doudou couldn't believe his eyes, and looked at Yu Yu a little 'confused', feeling like he was dreaming. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Well, if it's a dream, it's also a beautiful dream, but don't wake up from this dream!
After everyone in the audience knew that the countryman on the stage had earned 20,000 taels of silver with just two words, the fire of jealousy in his eyes could almost ignite the entire Liyang Street.
Rou Ori was also embarrassed when she heard about it, I don't know which lady made such a big shot, but the Holy City is a place of flowing gold, and under the circumstances at that time, it was worth the title of Holy City if she took out 10,000 taels of silver because of her anger.
Before leaving, the man in white looked at Yu Yu and asked seriously, "That person, how did you know that I was a 'woman' pretending to be a man?"
"One, you have 'holes' in both ears. As far as I know, I don't have the habit of wearing earrings as a Yanguo man, at least I haven't seen them."
"Two, you don't have an Adam's apple, although your age doesn't seem to be very old, but by this age of a young man, the Adam's apple has already risen, and you are not alone, and your skin is too delicate. ”
"Three, you have a faint fragrance on you. Of course, it's not uncommon for men to have scents on their bodies, but there are none. ”
"That's why I think you're a 'girl'!"
"You're amazing!" dropped a sentence, and the young 'girl' in white left on her own.
When Rou Weaving warmly invited Yu Yu and the two to Wangjiang Tower as guests, Yu Yu was reluctant to agree, after all, Doudou was a 'girl' child, and he was reluctant to let her come into contact with this kind of fireworks' place, but Doudou didn't care and showed great interest in Wangjiang Tower. Of course, Yu Yu knew that what interested Doudou was the "thin gift" promised by Rou Weaving!
Wangjiang Tower is not far from Saishitai, a group of people soon came to Wangjiang Tower's big 'door', looking at the luxurious decoration, the magnificent building, Yu Yu couldn't help but sigh, this kind of gold cave, really not ordinary people can come.
After coming to Ningyue Tower, Mama Sang met Yu Yu for the first time. This is a 'female' person about forty years old, different from Yu Yu's imagination, not an old bustard with an abominable face and a vicious spirit, but a 'female' person who looks extremely tactful and virtuous, if he didn't know her identity, Yu Yu would even treat her as a noble 'woman' raised in the palace.
The woman's face was extremely calm, with a little powder, willow leaves and bent eyebrows, and a slight fat face with an indescribable depth and quietness. There is a hint of heroism in the charming, and there seems to be some weakness in the heroism.
In short, Yu Yu's first feeling is that the 'female' person in front of him is a person with a story!
When she saw Yu Yu, she didn't show any surprise, nor did she express confusion about Yu Yu's countryman dress. Without too many pleasantries, after thanking Yu Yu for the couplet, Ning Yue asked, "Where does the prince come from, come to the Holy City to study, to be an official or a businessman, or to visit relatives and friends?"
"For learning!" Yu Yu replied honestly.
"Oh, Guozijian or?"
"Qianzheng Academy!" Yu Yu replied honestly.
"Qianzheng Academy?" Ning Yue raised her eyebrows slightly, "Which subject?"
Yu Yu was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that this 'female' person knew a lot more about the Qianzheng Academy than he did, he hadn't known these things yet, and he didn't know that the Qianzheng School was actually divided into subjects. Shaking his head, he said, "It's not a secret, I don't know myself, there are still about two months before I enter the school, and I went to the ya'men for the record' some time ago, and I heard that I will only get the exam notice after a month, and then I will know which subject I want to take at that time!"
"Oh, then how did you get the qualification for the Qianzheng Academy entrance exam?" asked Lord Ning Yue.
"I was tested by the school's assessment teacher in Mocheng to get the entrance exam qualification!" Yu Yu replied.
"Do you have a field source?" Ning Yue's face changed again, and she looked a little surprised, but soon changed back to normal, "It's good to have a field source, it's good to have a field source." In the future, if you are bored, you can come to Wangjianglou more. But don't indulge in this, you are still young, and it is serious to put your 'essence' on learning first. I heard that your calligraphy is very good, and the words of the girl are still good, and I heard that she admires your words very much, and it must be good. ”
After Ning Yue heard that Yu Yu was a student of Qianzheng Academy, and that she had a field source, her tone suddenly changed, as if the elders were talking to the juniors, and Yu Yu even felt that she was chatting with her children and nephews. I can't help but be surprised!
Ning Yue continued: "Some of the girls in Fengyue Field are also talented. Weaving the girl's words, even the masters of the court praised them endlessly, and there are not many calligraphers who can make her admire. However, after all, this is the land of wind and moon, the land of fireworks and flowers, you can come and sit when you are bored, but you can't really do anything to these girls, remember my words!
As she spoke, Ning Yue was about to get up and leave, when she suddenly found Yu Yu's spear with a cloth cover placed at the entrance of the 'door' and asked, "Is this your weapon, is it a gun?"
"Yes, it's a gun!" Yu Yu replied.
"Gun...... Gun ......" Ning Yue looked 'confused', as if she was recalling something, muttering to herself, Yu Yu and Doudou looked at her stupidly, completely unaware of what was going on.
"Go to Rou Weaving, I'm tired!" Ning Yue said after turning to leave.
Yu Yu was stunned!
After coming to Rou Ori's boudoir, Doudou looked around enviously, and Rou Ori took Doudou's hand and asked her to sit down next to her. Doudou smiled at her, 'exposed' the two white little tiger teeth, and Rou Weaving was very happy.
At this time, the soft weaving seemed to have completely eased from the morbidity, had changed into a new clothes, and the person had also refreshed, at this time, the soft weaving was radiant, and the white "flower" and "flower" in front of the "chest" were a piece, and Yu Yu was a little dizzy, so he had to not look at him. Juori smiled coquettishly in her eyes.
Yu Yu's name was already known on the Saishi stage, and he was already familiar with it at this time.
"I don't know what to give to my son, I'm not as rich as Lord Ning Yue, I can only give some small gifts, and I hope that my son won't laugh!" As she spoke, Ning Yue took out a gold bracelet carved with a 'fine' pattern from the 'drawer', the bracelet didn't look very heavy, Yu Yu could see that what was valuable was not the amount of gold, but the pattern on it. Although he doesn't know anything about this kind of thing, it should be a good thing to look at.
"This was given to me by Lord Ning Yue back then, and I will now transfer it to Doudou, I hope my sister will not dislike it, this thing is clean!"
Doudou looked at Yu Yu, and Yu Yu nodded. Doudou happily took the gold bracelet, put it on his hand for the first time, smiled happily at Yu Yu, and 'exposed' two white little tiger teeth, Yu Yu's heart was hot. Thank you to Yuori!
"I don't know if Childe can enjoy his face and accompany the slave family to have a meal, I'll give Childe a glass of water and wine!" After sending something, Rou Weaving said to Yu Yu with a smile.
Yu Yu smiled and said, "Don't hide it, today I took my Doudou out for a big meal!"
When Rou Ori heard this, she giggled and laughed to herself, "I didn't expect Childe to be so funny"
"Girl, you don't have to call me Childe, you can also see what kind of Childe I have, just call my name, Childe sounds awkward!" Yu Yu was disgusted by this sour name.
During the day, the Qinglou is generally closed for business, and the girls are resting. As a token of appreciation, Rouori gathered a sumptuous meal for the master and servant, and the meal was opened on the top floor of the Wangjiang Tower, overlooking the holy city. When he came to the top floor, Yu Yu knew why this green building was called Wangjiang Tower.
Standing here, you can clearly see the Liyang River flowing through the center of the holy city! The holy city is built along the river, divided into two cities, north and south, its real name is Liyang, and the origin of the name is this endless Liyang River!
Standing upstairs and looking ahead, my heart was much more open. It's no wonder that the soft weave will give birth to the feeling of "looking at the river upstairs and looking at the river". Looking to the south, on Tongzheng Street, the magnificent mansion of the Li family is in full view!
The urban construction of the Holy City is different from that of the general imperial city and the capital city. This is not a fully enclosed city because it is built on the riverside. The Yangjiang River runs from west to east, and the holy city is built on the valley of the Yangjiang River. Liyangjiang is the first Yangtze River in Yanguo, with a wide water surface and a stretch of about 20,000 miles. It originates in the western part of the Fengqu Mountains and flows east into the sea.
The holy city is about 100 miles long from east to west, and is divided into two parts, north and south. The imperial city was built in the open north city. Therefore, all the princes and nobles gathered in the northern city, and almost all the mansions of the official eunuchs in the holy city were built in the northern city. At the same time, the North City is also the most prosperous place in the Holy City, where the rich gather.
However, it was not a place for merchants to gather, because Yan Guo stipulated that merchants were not allowed to live in Beicheng. Therefore, although the rich side is on the one side, those merchants still have no way to live with the emperor of the dynasty, so they can only build a home in the southern city. The southern city is a place where fish and dragons 'mingle', where there are countless black markets, gangs, and various forces are intertwined, which is more complicated than the northern city.
This section of the Yangjiang River flowing through the holy city is not gentle, on the contrary, the river is very fast, the water surface is quite open, the narrowest place is about 4 thousand meters, and the widest part is about 10 kilometers wide. In addition, the current is very fast, so there are not too many passing ships on the Yangjiang River before. However, this situation was soon broken, and it was thought that the inconvenience of 'communication' between the north and south of the city would inevitably seriously affect the development of public security, economy, and culture in the holy city.
Therefore, after thousands of years of development, there are more than a dozen long iron cable bridges on the Yangjiang River today. Each bridge is made of 'fine' iron, and the specifications vary, but each bridge is made of twelve iron chains, three on each side and six at the bottom. It is said that the weight of each chain cannot be weighed. Because these long iron bridges were built by schools, mortals could not do anything about it.
In addition to the chain bridge, there are more than 20 individual iron cables on the Yangjiang River. Because the holy city is too prosperous, the dozen or so chain bridges can no longer meet the needs of the north and south cities, so the water is particularly important, but the current of the Yangjiang River is turbulent, and ordinary boatmen are neither able to build large boats, nor dare to ferry when the water is very fast.
Therefore, at the invitation of the imperial court, the school built more than 20 individual iron cables to cross the Yangjiang River. These iron cables are not the same thing as "iron ropes across the river". Because when the iron cable was built, it was demonstrated by the school's 'fine' heart, and the position was very high. It is erected on the Liyang River. A kind of coat is made of a special material on each iron cable to cover the iron cable. The boats below are attached to a long iron chain, which is connected to the iron cables above, so that they will not be swept away by the wind and waves. North-south traffic is smooth.
It's like crossing a river with a rope tied around your waist, so that even if you are not good at water, you won't drown quickly.
At the same time, because the iron cable is very high, there will be no restrictions on the movement of ships from east to west.
Wangjiang Tower was built twenty miles away from Yangjiang. It stands to reason that standing on such a building, it is difficult to see the river water from Yangjiang clearly, but in the holy city, there are too few high-rise buildings similar to Wangjiang Tower, so standing on the top of the building, Yu Yu looked down and saw it at a glance, which means that he could see all the mountains at a glance. Therefore, Yu Yu can see the rushing river.
During the banquet, Doudou was a little embarrassed at first, but with Yu Yu's encouragement, he gave up chopsticks and ate with his small hands instead. This is her habit, every time Yu Yu takes her out for a big meal, Doudou is used to holding the 'chicken', 'leg' or elbow or everything else she is interested in, and it is not easy to eat with chopsticks. Standing next to them, Xiaohong, who poured them wine, looked horrified, and whispered to Doudou again and again to eat slowly.
This girl saw that Doudou was thin and weak, and her face was sallow, as if she was malnourished, and she actually had a taste of closeness and pity. Doudou just smiled at her!
At the dinner table, Rou Ori smiled more than she ate.
"By the way, Miss Rouzhi, does Lord Ning Yue have something to do with the Qianzheng Academy? she seems to know the Qianzheng Academy very well" During the banquet, Yu Yu couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know about Lord Ning Yue, none of us know. However, the sisters here know each other very well, because many of our students here are regular visitors!" Rou Ori said with a smile.
"Oh" Yu Yu nodded!
"Sister, how old are you, call you little brother, don't you mind" Rou Wei looked at Yu Yu with a smile and asked.
"Don't mind, don't mind, how can it" Yu Yu smiled. Doudou raised his head and looked at Rou Weaving, then at Yu Yu, and then lowered his head again to continue his meal plan.
Rou Ori continued: "Little brother, I admire your words sister, I didn't expect you to have such attainments at such a young age, sister, I have really lived for so many years in vain." After entering the academy in the future, don't forget my sister and me, but I just heard Xiaohong say that Lord Ning Yue has ordered you to come down, and you are not allowed to entertain you......"
Rou Ori covered her mouth and smiled: "Sister, I can't repay you!"
Yu Yu smiled bitterly!
At this moment, I could only hear the sound of the stairs kicking, and a voice like a bell rang, which shocked everyone's ears a little numb, "Rou Weaving, you want to be the governor of Bendu!"
