Chapter X
When he arrived in Wancheng, Yang Zhirou was worried about how to enter the city, the troubled times were predecided, and countries were afraid that there would be spies mixed into their own countries, so everyone would have a customs clearance post to prove their identity, and Yang Zhirou's customs clearance post must not be taken out now.
Yang Zhirou wondered if he should sneak in with Huzi and Xiaohe, although the checkpoints here are tight, but there is no room to drill. Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Fu Kang, who was riding on a horse, take out a jade pendant from his arms, and the guard respectfully invited them into the city gate after seeing the jade pendant.
Yang Zhirou twitched the corners of his mouth, it seems that this apprentice has received the right thing and can help him settle a lot of trouble.
After entering the city, I found an inn to live in, one for Yang Zhirou and Xiaohe, one for Huzi and Old Man Fu, and one for scholars and Geng Laohan, which was convenient to take care of.
Early the next morning, Yang Zhirou wanted to go to the street to see, he had never seen the ancient county seat, although he had been to a lot of ancient towns in his previous life, but after all, those are the cities in the middle surrounded by modern cities, and they have lost the function that they should have as a city, most of them are tourist attractions, and there are not too many people living in them.
It's different here, this is an authentic ancient town, I can't wait to go out with Xiaohe, Old Man Fu hasn't gotten up yet, and the others are left in the inn to look at the boxes of treasures they carry.
Out of the inn, saw that the street was full of people rushing to the morning market, Yang Zhirou followed the flow of people to the East Market, and after walking for a while, he saw a very magnificent restaurant, with a total of three floors, and a plaque was hung on the highest floor, which said "Bafang Building".
"Interesting, if there is an octagonal building, is there a four-sided building?" Yang Zhirou asked Xiaohe with a smile.
Xiaohe said in surprise: "Miss, do you remember?" ”
"What do you remember?" Yang Zhirou was a little puzzled.
"There are still four floors in the Bafang Building! The Bafang Building is Dongwu's, and the four-sided building is our Nanqi's! ”
"Shhh, be quiet, you're afraid that others won't know that we are from Nanqi. I don't remember, it's just that this "four directions", this building is called the Bafang Building, and I wonder if there will be four sides of the building. ”
"Oh, I see, make me happy in vain." Xiaohe pouted.
Yang Zhirou touched her head and said, "Let's go, let's go in and improve the food and see what is different in this Bafang Building." ”
As he spoke, he pulled Xiaohe and walked inside.
Xiaohe is very depressed, Miss always likes to touch her head lately, and she feels like her big sister, but she is obviously older than Miss.
As soon as Yang Zhirou walked to the door, Xiao Er, who greeted people on the first floor, walked up to them and said, "I don't know what the two of you have to do." He spoke with a deep contempt.
Yang Zhirou didn't understand why he had this question, and then when he saw the guests who were eating on the first floor, he suddenly understood, those people's clothes were basically silk, and he knew that they were rich people at a glance, and he and Xiaohe were wearing the most ordinary cotton clothes, and they were two little girls.
Yang Zhirou smiled, took out a fifty taels of silver ingot from his arms, shook it in front of Xiao'er, and said, "I want the location on the third floor, is there anything else?" ”
"Yes, yes, how can there be so many people in this early morning, please be objective." Xiao'er knew that he was looking away when he saw the silver ingot, these two girls with fine skin and tender flesh were not suffering people at first glance, and they had such a big silver ingot on their bodies, it must be that the young lady of which family stole the clothes of the next person and ran out to play, Xiao Er gave Yang Zhirou the way while giving himself a brain supplement.
Xiao He realized that Xiao Er looked down on them just now, and was so angry that he pouted and stared at Xiao Er who was walking in front.
Yang Zhirou looked at her like this, laughing so much, she was really a stupid girl, she was angry like this for irrelevant people.
On the wall next to the staircase are all kinds of calligraphy and paintings, which are supposed to be left by guests, and it seems that this is still a place where literati and scholars gathered.
Sit down in the hall on the third floor, the middle is empty, you can see the hall on the first floor, not only can you see, but the voice of the diner can also be heard, no wonder it is called Bafang Building, this is a good place to inquire about the news.
When they sat down for about ten minutes, the dishes were all ready, Yang Zhirou came here to eat those peasant dishes every day, although it was healthy, but his mouth was about to fade out of the bird, and it was necessary to change the taste occasionally.
I think the dishes here are very ordinary, and they are all stir-fried, there is no other way, and there is only one kind of soup, but Xiaohe said that this is already the best restaurant. Yang Zhirou felt the need to open a restaurant by herself, and let Xiaohe see what was the best restaurant.
I heard Xiaohe say that there were two giant merchants in the previous dynasty, Su Yao and Shang Jingchun, their business spread all over the north and south of the river, involving various fields, and later when the six heroes carved up the world, the Su family followed Li Juyuan to stay in Southern Qi, and another giant merchant followed Yun Zongwan to Eastern Wu. Among them, Su Yao is not only very good at business, but also knows how to be an official, and was named the head of the household department by Li Juyuan, in charge of the country's money. Although Shang Jingchun did not become an official, his daughter Shang Rong married Yun Zongwan and became the queen, and he became the emperor's father-in-law, and the person Yang Zhirou wanted to go to and kiss before was Shang Rong's son, Yun Zongwan's third prince Yun Zhao.
Yang Zhirou snorted coldly when she heard this, how could she allow others to snore under the couch, if it weren't for the emperor who needed money, these two people might have been raided a long time ago, just like Shen Wansan in the previous life, the rich and rival family has never had a good end, except for being the emperor himself.
However, this Su Yao is a bit interesting, he did not send his daughter to the palace as a bargaining chip, but became an official himself, which can be seen from this point that this person is very courageous.
This Bafang Building is the merchant's industry, in the previous dynasty, in fact, there were only four sides of the Su family, the merchant has always wanted to insert a foot in the restaurant, but the emperor of Daqi at that time preferred the Su family, and helped the Su family to suppress the merchant, the merchant has been holding his breath, and so on until the merchant followed Yun Zongwan to Dongwu, and then settled in Yizhou, the merchant took Yizhou as the base and began his own expansion plan, including this Bafang Lou. Called this name clearly to want to work against the Su family, but never thought that as soon as this name was called, the story of the merchant and the Su family spread to everyone in the north and south, from how the two families made enemies to how they pinched each other, etc., etc., can be written into a book, the result is that not only the Bafang Building is on fire, but the four buildings are also more popular.
When Yang Zhirou heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched, who said that the ancients didn't know how to do marketing, she was in a hurry. What's the difference between this and stirring up a topic on **, I wonder if those who talk about the rights and wrongs of the two families on the street are sent out by themselves. Then I wondered if I wanted to open a restaurant.
Just thinking about it, he heard a person at the next table lower his voice and asked his companion: "Alas, do you know that the king of Yingchuan has come to our Dongwu?" ”
The person next to him asked in surprise, "Isn't he dead?" ”
"Who told you that he is dead, people are alive and well, I heard that the Emperor of Nanqi sent him to congratulate our emperor on his birthday, and he is about to arrive in Lin'an, why don't we go to Lin'an to join in the fun and see what that evil star looks like." As he spoke, he elbowed the person next to him.
"If you don't go, you can't see him, you can't see him if you go, people are going to congratulate the emperor on his birthday and won't be dragged on the street, where are you going to see him."
"That's right." The man replied boredly, and then stopped talking.
Yang Zhirou just wanted to ask Xiaohe a question. Then he heard the man next door talking again.
"Hey, you said that this Emperor of Nanqi is really good, the person he sent to make peace with his relatives was just found in the wilderness, he didn't even ask, and then he sent his son to congratulate him on his birthday." The contempt between the words was unmistakable.
"That's right, but I heard that the Yang family in Lishan Academy didn't react much, and we went back after our Dongwu collected the body, and there was no movement after the funeral was hastily done, but I heard that the eldest daughter of their family who had married out was seriously ill and almost went with her." He shook his head sympathetically as he spoke.
Xiao He, who was sitting opposite Yang Zhirou, looked at himself with his mouth wide open when he heard this.
I asked Xiao Er to settle the bill, and then walked out of the Bafang Building with Xiao He.
"Miss, sir, they..."
"My father and eldest brother must have known that I was not dead, so they didn't make a noise, and hastily held the funeral, and the eldest sister should not know the specific situation because she was not at home, so she was sick. Xiaohe, I ask you questions now, and you answer truthfully. Yang Zhirou looked at Xiaohe seriously and said.
Seeing Yang Zhirou's serious expression, Xiaohe didn't dare to slack off, and said seriously: "Miss, you ask, I know everything and I will tell you."
"Do you know which son-in-law in Nanqi is named Qiyan and Jinyu?"
Xiaohe didn't think about it and said: "I know, Prince Qiyan is the only nephew of Concubine Lu, his name is Lu Ji, Qiyan is his word, and Gongzi Jinyu is the master of the four-sided building we just talked about, he is the eldest young master of the Su family, the only son of Master Su, the name Su Yong, the word Jinyu." ”
"What about the one named Lizhi?"
"Standing? I don't know about this. Miss, why are you asking this? “
"Are that Lu Ji and Su Yong very famous, you even know their font size so well." Yang Zhirou looked at her funny.
Xiaohe blushed and said, "Oh, miss, you make fun of me." As long as everyone in Daqi knows, these two sons have been friends with the king of Yingchuan since they were children, and once they burned down the courtyard of the prince together, you know, as long as it is about the king of Yingchuan, everyone is curious, and everything is rumored to be miraculous, and these two sons have been following the king of Yingchuan, I know that they are not unusual. ”
When Yang Zhirou heard this, he thought to himself: Is the king of Yingchuan, it's almost the same as he guessed, those people are really not simple, after all, not everyone can go out with the army.
"Let's go, go back and pack your things."
"Packing up? Miss, where are we going? ”
"Lin'an!"
