Chapter 68: Heavenly and Earthly Nightclubs
A big plaque hung up. With just these four gilded typing, the value of this plaque is already immeasurable. Whose word is this? Scholar Dong! Now, in addition to some of the daily annotations, pen and ink of Dong Daxue in Taixue, there is no real work of Dong Daxue on the market. Those who possessed the treasures of Dong University's scholars, which one of them didn't carefully hide them at home?
However, only Duan Zhong knew that this plaque was actually not worth much silver, because these four big characters were written by Duan Zhong himself. If Scholar Dong knew that his beloved apprentice ran to Daliang to open a green building, then he wouldn't have to take a ring ruler and ride a carriage from Dali to Daliang to smoke a heavy ass?
Of course, these are not important to Duan Chong, and Duan Chong is used to the shameless act of putting gold on his face. So when I saw this sign hung up, a big stone in my heart finally fell to the ground. At least, the two princes Xiao Beiding are willing to attend the unveiling ceremony of "Heaven and Earth" today, at least it is already a statement, and he will not be on the bar with himself in a short period of time.
Of course, this is the moment of Emperor Liang Wendi's birthday, and no one wants to act rashly, after all, the court has been watching very closely recently, and no accidents will be allowed during this time.
After the firecrackers rang off, the door of "Heaven and Earth" was finally officially opened, and Duan Zhong stood at the door to greet the guests. On both sides of the door behind Duan Chong's body stood two girls, both wearing extremely close-fitting dresses, which completely highlighted the breasts and buttocks, this dress was made of silk, and most importantly, there was an extremely obvious opening under the dress, extending directly from the heel to the outside of the thigh, revealing a large area of snow-white skin, which was enough to make people have endless reverie. What is this? Tang costume! What are these two girls doing? Welcome!
The first to enter the hall were naturally the two highnesses, followed by Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, and behind were the young officials of the court and the magnates of the capital.
And when everyone entered the hall with the posts in turn, Duan Zhong suddenly discovered an interesting thing. Because Duan Zhong saw an extremely interesting person: Zhu Zhengming. This is the son-in-law of Prime Minister Zhu Zhenyang, when he first came to Nanjing, he once beat this noble son, and he didn't get out of bed for a month. This also caused a lot of friction between himself and the Prime Minister, and even went to Emperor Liang Wendi, and gave our Prime Minister a big "slap", presumably this feud, the Prime Minister still remembers it clearly, and Zhu Zhengming's son will not forget, but why is Zhu Zhengming's eyes so gentle and humble when he looks at Duan Zhong today?
When all the people with the posts were welcomed into the building, the "heaven and earth" was almost full. There were about five or six hundred people in the huge hall, all of whom were powerful and high-ranking officials in Beijing. If a bomb is dropped here at this moment, this Nanliang will immediately become chaotic. Luckily, there is no such thing as a bomb in this world.
———————————————————————————————————————
Needless to say, the magnificence of this "heaven and earth" is full of dazzling golden yellow. The most eye-catching thing in this lobby is a T-shaped high platform, which extends directly from the back hall to the very center of this lobby, which is about half a person high. This is somewhat similar to the drunken red mansion in Hangzhou. But at the moment, it is all surrounded by red brocade cloth, and as for what is on this platform, no one knows at present. Duan Chong was inspired by the drunken Red Mansion, so he made a transformation of the "Heaven and Earth", which was completely built according to the appearance of the nightclub in the previous life.
In addition to this table, there are several other designs in the hall that are also very conspicuous. The first place was a tall wooden cabinet on one side of the hall, on which there were about a hundred wooden pavilions, and in each cabinet were placed several jugs of wine. In front of the wooden cabinet stood two young and beautiful women, and in front of them was a long counter filled with wine glasses of all kinds. On the other side of this bar, there are dozens of wooden stools, the shape of this wooden stool is also very peculiar, the base is a disc-type wooden pier, which is supported by only a wrist-thick wooden pillar on the top, and on top is a wooden plate that can just accommodate a person's butt to sit down and laugh, with a layer of brocade on the outside, and a lot of fluff inside, which is very comfortable to sit on. What is it? Bar counter!
Naturally, this bar is for ordering wine, and the wine is counted by the glass. This "heaven and earth" consumption level is already a bit terrifying, and the one in this bar can be calculated by the cup, which is naturally three points more expensive, but the officials and nobles present today are all rich masters, and they can't lose face in front of others.
Another special design is that Duan Zhong introduced the concept of "sofa". A long, wide, wide, and insignificant wooden bench, with armrests attached to both sides, is first wrapped in cowhide, covered with a layer of satin, and finally fluffy between the cowhide and satin, and it is very comfortable to sit on. And a sofa can sit three or four people. Of course, Duan Zhong did not forget to design the single sofa. Two couches and two single sofas surround a somewhat low rectangular table, which is a table of wine.
And this "heaven and earth" has no bustards and turtles that have been shouting all year round, but instead there are slim maids wearing cheongsams and holding plates. Duan Chong told Zhu Siwen that this waiter must choose a girl!
And in the right corner of this hall, there is also a vacant lot, covered with a golden blanket from Persia, surrounded by a large circle, the ground is concave downward, if this circle is squeezed, at least a hundred people can stand. And above this large man is a high ceiling, on which hangs a sculpture of a strange shape made of crystal. And Duan Zhong's explanation is: this is a dance floor!
Therefore, in view of this shocking decoration style, all the officials and nobles did not immediately pick up the table and sit down after entering the building, but swayed back and forth in this hall to see the freshness, so for a while, the hall was full of people, so it was not lively, and even the usual etiquette was forgotten. I couldn't sit still for half a day. Therefore, the opening event of this "heaven and earth" has not been able to start.
Finally, when everyone had seen all the new things in the "heaven and earth", touched enough, and the beauties had seen enough, they each found a place to sit down.
All the tables carry the same dishes and wines, and there is no distinction between dignity and inferiority, just pick up a seat and sit down. You may just be a wealthy merchant in Kyoto, but the person at your table may be a high-ranking official in the court.
Duan Zhong has been accompanying Xiao Beiping back and forth to look at the freshness, in this short period of time, Xiao Beiping doesn't know how many times he has been amazed, and his eyes have also been dazzled. When everyone was almost seated, they sat down in a more remote corner. Low-key, Duan Zhong has always pursued the principle, after all, the master of this "heaven and earth" is Ji impermanence. And Duan Zhong also promised to give him the title of "the world's first turtle * male".
Sitting on the sofa and chatting with Xiao Beiping for a while, I saw the son of the official secretary walking towards this side, followed by an official lord, there is no doubt that this is the dignified official secretary Wang Junpeng. This Wang Zhikun is naturally coming at Duan Chong, after all, Duan Chong has the title of Professor Taixue, and Wang Zhikun is indeed Duan Chong's disciple. There is no age limit for this knowledge, and Duan Zhong is deeply touched.
This upright and upright official Shangshu has always been unique in the court, and he has never formed a party for personal gain, and it is precisely because of his integrity that he can always sit down peacefully in the court. But he is also a lonely minister, after all, this Shangshu who has never participated in partisan disputes does not have any officials who are good friends in the court, with his temperament, there is no official in the court who has not been participated in by him, and other extremely Shangshu or Prime Minister want to promote extremely cronies to the top, and they have also been beaten back countless times by this Lord Wang Junpeng, so there are not many friends, but there are many people who have offended.
As for Duan Chong, Lord Wang Junpeng admires it very much. From Duan Chong's fearlessness of the powerful and violent beating of the prime minister's son, to his generous statement in Taixue, the Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials was impressed by this young man. If it weren't for Duan Chong's identity as the prince of Dali, no matter what Lord Shangshu said, he would have to be pulled under the door.
After the four of them sat down at the wine table and exchanged pleasantries, the restlessness in the hall finally quieted down. Duan Chong glanced at it a few times, but saw that the second prince was also sitting not far away and drinking leisurely, and there were several other people sitting on the table, one Duan Chong knew, it was Zhu Zhengming, the son of the Prime Minister's family, and there was a certain squire who seemed to be from the Ministry of War, Duan Chong had some impressions, but he didn't know Duan Chong next to him, this man was about thirty or forty years old, his body was quite strong, and his face looked a little hideous and scary, if Duan Chong guessed correctly, it should be a person in the army.
Noticing Duan Chong's gaze, Xiao Beiping looked over and helped explain: "This is Lord Xu Yunwei, the admiral of the Yangzhou Water Division, who came back to Beijing to celebrate his father's birthday. ”
Duan nodded his head, looked at the second prince, and then at the Admiral of the Yangzhou Water Division, and threw Xiao Beiping an extremely puzzled look. Meaning: They're all in a gang? And Xiao Beiping naturally understood and nodded.
Duan Zhong let out a long sigh.
