After Yang Xu crossed, he had been staying in Yangjiazhai, and the current Jinyang City was the first time he saw the city in this world.

The walls of Jinyang City are tall and wide, with a radius of nearly 30 miles and a population of more than 200,000, which belongs to a large city in the north of Zhao State.

More than 100 miles to the north of Jinyang City, across a Jin River, is the same powerful Beihu as the Zhao State.

The Jin River is shallow, and when it is dry in summer, it can be crossed by horses, so every summer season, it is the peak period for spies on both sides to spy on each other's enemy situation.

On the south bank of the Jin River, there are a small number of garrisons in several camps on the side of the Zhao State.

The task of these garrisons is to monitor the Beihu army, and once they find any changes on the north bank, they will immediately send a message to Pegasus, so that the garrisons inside and outside Jinyang City are ready to defend against the enemy.

For decades of Zhao Guoguo, the Beihu army repeatedly crossed the river and invaded the border, and hit the city of Jinyang several times, but in the end, because the city wall of Jinyang City was strong, it could not be broken, and the soldiers were defeated, and they had to return in a huff.

Therefore, both the defenders and the people in the city firmly believe that the Beihu army will not be able to break through the majestic city of Jinyang.

For many years, it has not suffered from the war and military disasters, and all industries in Jinyang City are prosperous, the people are rich, and the song and dance are peaceful.

After Yang Xu and others entered Jinyang City, they found that the streets in the city were already crowded with people, and its prosperous and lively scene greatly exceeded Yang Xu's imagination, as if it was a Zhao Guo's version of the Qingming Riverside map.

The villagers of Yangjiazhai kept looking east and west, and they were all excited.

But they didn't forget their mission, and went to a nearby street market, set up their stalls, and began to shout and sell.

In the eyes of the villagers of Yangjiazhai, Yang Xu is a scholar with a noble identity, so it is naturally impossible to participate in their business.

So after entering the city, Yang Hongyu signaled Yang Fugui to accompany Yang Xu to walk around the city and appreciate the customs of Zhao Kingdom.

As for Yang Hongyu herself, she took some women in the village to purchase the needs of the Moon Festival.

Yang Fugui is burly and has amazing divine power, with him accompanying Yang Xu, even if something happens in the city, he can protect Yang Xu thoroughly.

Yang Xu's main purpose in coming to Jinyang City was to find a business to do in the future, and he didn't have the heart to accompany Yang Xing and others to shout and sell.

After he took Yang Fugui and separated from Yang Hongyu and others, he walked around the streets and alleys of Jinyang City.

People in the world are inseparable from the four words of clothing, food, housing and transportation, especially food, so there is a saying that people take food as the sky.

So Yang Xu's idea also hit the food.

He paid close attention to the large and small restaurants in Jinyang City, and chatted with the nearby merchants and vendors from time to time, and then he felt a little more calculating.

Yang Fugui followed behind Yang Xu, stopped walking, kept scratching his head, and secretly wondered in his heart, thinking that if Mr. Yang was hungry, he could go in and have a meal, and pull others to ask questions, what did he want to do?

Yang Fugui is simple-minded and doesn't want to think about it, anyway, the owner of the village told him to protect Mr. Yang well, and he can fulfill his responsibilities.

When he arrived in the northern part of the city, Yang Xu found that many passers-by were hurrying and converging in one direction, most of which were literati.

"Brother Tai, what's going on ahead?"

Yang Xu grabbed a passer-by and asked.

After earning some money some time ago, Yang Xu asked Yang Xing to customize two sets of shirts and robes in Jinyang City, but usually when he was in Yangjiazhai, he was still dressed in short brown.

He has a tall figure, handsome facial features, and looks quite good, and after putting on the shirt, he is a suave literati image, and even wears a hat, otherwise the short hair is too eye-catching.

The passer-by saw that he had an extraordinary bearing, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly said: "Today, the four major Oiran are swimming in the Yishui River by boat, and I don't know, brother?" ”

"When I first arrived in Jinyang City, I lived two lives, and I didn't know it."

As soon as Yang Xu heard what kind of Oiran was swimming in the river, he immediately lost interest, thinking that there was something to see in Oiran, and with this time, it was better to continue shopping and see what business could be done.

He was about to leave, only to hear the passer-by say: "Today's Moon Festival, the four major Oirans set a few questions on their own flower boats to test the knowledge of literati from all walks of life. It is said that those who can answer all the questions will not only be invited into the flower boat by the four Oiran to drink together, but each flower charm will also receive a hundred taels of silver......"

Among the scholars of this Jinyang City, there are not a few poor and sour, and the four Oiran are given two gifts of silver, which can be used as a ritual for them to enter Beijing to catch the examination in the future, and if they can get fame in the future, there may be a good relationship between the Oiran who gave silver.

In the entire Zhao Kingdom, there are not a few examples of Qinglou women giving silver taels to scholars, in order to find another way out for their future.

Yang Xu's figure was stunned, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Eat and drink for nothing, and still have silver to take?" Is there such a good thing? ”

The passer-by saw Yang Xu rubbing his hands excitedly, and said with a smile: "Brother Tai should not underestimate the four Oiran, they are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting...... Especially Yan Feixue Yan of Meixianglou, a well-read girl, is only eight buckets high, if she is a man, it is not difficult to take the Jinshi exam...... How can their questions be so easy to answer? ”

Although Yang Xu was not interested in the Oiran, he would not get along with the silver, worried that if he went late, the silver would be obtained by others, so he urged the passer-by: "Let's go!" Brother Tai leads the way, let's go over and take a look! ”

He and Yang Fugui followed the passer-by, blended into the crowd, and hurried towards the Yishui River in the north of the city.

Yishui River is a small tributary of Jinyang River, passes through the city from the north of Jinyang City, carved beams and painted buildings on both sides of the river, buildings stand in a forest, its prosperous and lively place, better than other areas in the city.

On both sides of the Yishui River, it is the gathering place of brothels in Jinyang City, and the four most famous flower buildings in the city are all from this.

When Yang Xu and Yang Fugui arrived at the Yishui River, they found that many ordinary people and literati had gathered on the embankment by the river, and four beautifully decorated double-decker boats were moored side by side.

The news that the four popular Oirans of the four major flower buildings in Jinyang City were swimming in the Yishui River together had come out a few days ago.

Some of the literati of Jinyang City who got the news rushed to the river early this morning, just to find the best position to see the Oiran.

In Jinyang City, from the dignitaries to the beggars, they all know that the four major oirans are all beautiful women with both talent and beauty, and if anyone is lucky enough to be the guest of any of them, it will undoubtedly achieve a romantic story.

"Fugui, let's squeeze to the front and grab the silver!"

Yang Xu saw the inner and outer three layers surrounded by the crowd, patted Yang Fugui's shoulder, and whispered.

As soon as Yang Fugui heard the word silver, he suddenly came to his senses, and with a "hey" sound, he inserted his hands into the crowd in front of him, and forcefully divided them to both sides, forcing a passage in the crowd.

He took a step forward, Yang Xu followed closely, and after only a few breaths, the two of them had already squeezed to the front of the crowd.

Ignoring the scolding behind him, Yang Xu's gaze had already fallen on the four flower boats by the river.

Among the four flower boats, there are bursts of melodious piano sounds from time to time.

Accompanied by the sound of the piano, there are melodious and tactful, crisp and beautiful songs, which make people feel refreshed and happy.

From time to time, a few young maids dressed in fancy clothes ran out of the flower boat and frolicked on the bow deck.

There are also timid and shy maidservants, hiding in the flower boat and not daring to show their heads, only occasionally quietly lifting the curtains of the small windows on the boat to watch the scenery of the characters outside the boat.

Some of the people who arrived early and were already a little impatient to wait, after seeing a few maidservants on the flower boat, their resentment suddenly disappeared.

Those handmaidens are all beautiful and have delicate figures.

As a handmaid, it is still like this, you can imagine how their masters, the four major Oirans of Jinyang City, should be so beautiful and charming.
