Chapter 24: Calyx Tower
"Isn't that difficult? Isn't it just seven words? ”
"Isn't it difficult?" Gao Fushuai was speechless, and patiently explained to him: "This pair seems simple, but it is actually extremely difficult!" Look at these seven words, the words are embedded with the same side, the meaning is smooth and through, like a stroke of genius, how can it be so easy to match? ”
"Oh......" Su Yi's face showed a sudden expression, thought for a while, and said: "It's still not difficult, why, just this pair, the genius of the capital can't get it right?" ”
"Isn't that difficult?" Gao Fu was handsome, but said: "You said it's not difficult, then you're right!" Su Yi, it's not me talking about you, you are just too arrogant, and people will get angry when they look at it...... These words, you will blow in front of me, and when you get to the calyx building, you can be more restrained. Although our father is said to be a captain, but on the ground in the capital, the captain is not the biggest, so don't be too arrogant! ”
"Hehe......" Su Yi smiled and said, "Okay, listen to you!" By the way, what did you just say you wanted me to help with? To this pair? Do you want to marry Cui Niangzi? ”
"Eh," Gao Fushuai waved his hand and said, "This pair is so difficult, and you can't match it." Besides, although Cui Niangzi is wealthy, she is more than ten years older than me, I don't like it. What I want to ask you for is something else. ”
"Well, you say."
"This Cui Niangzi has a suitor, who is the grandson of Prime Minister Cai Jing, named Cai Tong. He was fascinated by Cui Niangzi, and squatted in the calyx building all day long and didn't go home. In order to match Cui Niangzi's pair, I found no less than 50 famous bachelors to help me before and after, and that's it, if you like Cui Niangzi, you work hard. But he is still cautious, he is afraid that others will be against the pair, and he will intimidate anyone who tries to match the pair. ”
As he spoke, Gao Fushuai became angry and said, "Last month, I went to Calyx Tower with a few friends to listen to music. After drinking a little wine during the feast, he boasted that I could match this pair, and it happened that he heard it, and he came to humiliate me. Let me face the pair in public, of course I can't. He said that he couldn't do it, but he said that he couldn't do it right, but he could write poems and lyrics, and he had a good calligraphy handed down by his family, which was hundreds of times stronger than me, and made a poem praising Cui Niangzi on the spot, and asked me to make a song to respond to it, if I could make it, he would apologize to me in public, if I couldn't do it, I would no longer be able to listen to Cui Niangzi sing music in the future! ”
Gao Fushuai said, his eyes were red, and he pursed his lips tightly and couldn't speak. Su Yi couldn't bear to look at him from the side, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Needless to say, I understand, brother and I will bring you back today!" ”
Gao Fushuai looked at him with tears in his eyes: "Are you confident?" ”
"It's necessary, don't say a poem, it's that pair, I'll match her today!"
Gao Fushuai didn't dare to think about it, so many talented people in the capital couldn't be right, how could Su Yi be right. But he pondered that Su Yi also had the reputation of a talented man after all, and it should be okay to compose a poem. As long as you can make a poem to make up for your face, it will not be in vain today.
Thinking of this, Gao Fushuai turned his heart sideways, grabbed Su Yi's hand, and said sincerely: "Since my brother said so, then I will believe it." If it doesn't work out then, we can be embarrassed together! ”
"Don't worry, it's on me!"
……
Money Alley, as the name suggests, doesn't work here without money.
Here there are three steps and a green building, five steps and a gambling hall, and there are more rare treasures, rare antiques, gold and silver jewelry, silk and satin...... As long as you have money, there's almost nothing you can't buy!
The point is that Money Lane is very honest in doing business. As long as the price is marked and you spend the money, it will never be shoddy and fake. The price may be more, but you can rest assured that you will be able to buy something.
In short, Money Alley is a place dedicated to serving the wealthy in Beijing, where as long as you are willing to pay, you can enjoy the most comfortable and ironing service!
In this alley, there is naturally more than one green building. But Calyx House is the undisputed first. Other Qinglou is completely incomparable with it, not on the same order of magnitude.
Calyx Tower, named after the famous 'Calyx Xianghui Building' in the Tang Dynasty. Speaking of this calyx Xianghui building has a great history, in the Tang Dynasty, the calyx Xianghui building ranks before the four famous buildings, enjoys the reputation of "the first building in the world", is the cultural and artistic center of large-scale entertainment activities in Chang'an City, and is also the place where Xuanzong, the son of heaven of the Tang Dynasty, has fun and exchanges with all the people. It's a pity that the war in the late Tang Dynasty destroyed the first floor in the world, which is a pity.
After the Great Song Dynasty ruled the world and set the capital Bianliang. In this money alley, a building that is exactly the same as the calyx Xianghui Building of the previous dynasty was built. It's just that in terms of scale, it is much smaller, which is equivalent to shrinking in equal proportions. Even so, the calyx building is already the most in the capital, looking at the capital, you can no longer find such a high-rise building.
The first floor of the world in the previous dynasty was reduced to the Qinglou Chu Pavilion, which means that it is really ironic.
When I came to the entrance of the alley, there was a crowd of people in front of me, rubbing shoulders, and the carriage was unstoppable. The two got down from the carriage, and on both sides of the alley, there was a special place to park the carriage and feed the horses. Su Yi observed it and found that there were also services for brushing horses and wiping cars, and he couldn't help but be surprised. In Suzhou, he has never seen this industry, in the end it is the capital, and the sense of service is different.
"Brother Xian, where is the Calyx Tower you are talking about?" The calyx building is taller than all the buildings, and it can be seen at a glance, Su Yi deliberately asked this way, in order to give Gao Fushuai a chance to perform.
Sure enough, Gao Fushuai waved his hand very happily, pointed to a pavilion in the distance and said, "Look at it, isn't it there?" The tallest one, you can see it at a glance! ”
Su Yi looked in the direction of his finger, there was a gorgeous pavilion standing in the distance, colorful flags fluttering, lanterns hanging high, bright and bright, magnificent, across the distance, you can see the girls walking on the corridor, it really responds to the four words "beautiful".
"How's that, high? It's a hundred feet! You've never seen such a tall building, have you? ”
"Mmmm, it's really an eye-opener." In his previous life, Su Yi was used to seeing high-rise buildings, the calyx building was a hundred feet high, and it was more than thirty meters, in his eyes, it was not a high-rise building. But compared to the buildings he had seen in this life, the Calyx Tower was indeed the tallest he had ever seen.
"Let's go, take you in style!" Gao Fushuai threw the burden of money to Lu Qian to carry, and out of nowhere he conjured a fan, brushed the ground and opened it, and walked gently into the alley. Su Yi has opened his eyes, although the winter in Bianliang is not cold, but the operation of shaking the fan in the cold winter still makes him refreshed, and sure enough, the young master of the capital is different!
