Section 242: Tian Yuan Tower
Zhou Yu did have two moments, and Guan Yan thought in his heart: Can you leave Zhou Yu behind?
Zhou Yu and Sun Wu are inextricably linked, first of all, the two are self-reliant, and they become brothers with different surnames, secondly, the two have similar aspirations, but the last important point of working together is also something that has not happened yet: the two are brothers-in-law! With these three points, the fate of Zhou Yu and the Sun family must be closely linked.
But at present, the relationship between the two is only maintained at the stage of "hair small", can Zhou Yu be pulled to his side? Looking at the generals, the brave ones are like Wei Ma Chao, and the wise ones are like Xi Zhicai, Chen Deng, and Fu Zhu, but there is no one who is both wise and brave, and the generals who lead the army.
"Good! Gong Jin's thoughts are new! Guan Yan praised. Zhou Yu's thoughts have shown that he is not only a commander of the army, but also a capable minister of governance!
Zhou Yu has only shocked the township since he was a child, but the prodigy is a "child" after all, and others praise him, which does not mean that he is recognized. Like before, when Zhou Yu put forward his opinions with Sun Jian, he was laughed at by Sun Jian and did not adopt them. Seeing Guan Yan say this, Zhou Yu thought that Guan Yan was sneering at his remarks, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The hussar general thinks that Yu is exaggerating and imagining?" ”
Hearing this tone, Guan Yan knew that Zhou Yu had misunderstood, and hurriedly said, "Definitely!" Gong Jin's remarks Yan Shen thought so! If he has the opportunity, Guan will definitely make Gongjin useful! ”
This means that Zhou Yu looked at Guan Yan and didn't know how to talk, and Guan Yan didn't continue, which can be regarded as giving Zhou Yu a preventive shot, and scaring others when he "pursues" in the future.
This question is over at the point, it is useless to talk more at this stage, Guan Yan is not expecting Zhou Yu to have any answer, the time is not yet ripe, don't be like Zhao Yun, rashly "confess", the gains outweigh the losses!
Guan Yan looked up at the sky and continued to walk: "It's almost noon, I'll find a good store first, and have a good meal!" ”
Finding a good restaurant in Luoyang, the imperial capital, was extremely simple, but out of politeness, Guan Yan still chose the more famous "Tianyuan Tower" in Luoyang City to entertain Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.
The name "Tianyuan Building" is really level: from ancient times to the popular game of Go, the point of the center of Go is called "Tian Yuan".
Luoyang is the imperial capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, naturally the heart of the Han Dynasty, "Tianyuan Building" self-named Tianyuan, one is to use the momentum of Luoyang to highlight the prestige of Luoyang, and the second is to raise oneself to a certain status in the world's restaurants.
If it is placed in the later feudal era, let alone the name "Tianyuan", even if you say some vague language that offends the imperial power, you can be convicted of a crime of "rebellion", such as Guanyin in the Tang Dynasty because of Li Shimin and Guanyin referred to as Guanyin, and the "word prison" between Kangxi and Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, all of which illustrate the inviolability of imperial power.
However, in the current Han Dynasty, the taboo of imperial power is not so deep, and some of the folk titles are not so restricted, and this "Tianyuan Building" often has some dignitaries who come here to cheer, so the name is very loud, and it is not an exaggeration to call it the first restaurant of the Han Dynasty.
Guan Yan came to this era and has been in a state of fighting in the east and west, living in a state of no fixed place, and the largest restaurant he has ever been to is also the "Wanghai Tower" in Xuzhou. After coming to Luoyang, Guan Yan first traveled between Emperor Ling, He Jin, and Yuan Kui, and then fought with Dong Zhuo, after Dong Zhuo's death, and then with Wang Yun and Lu Bu, he has been busy and has never been to this "No. 1 restaurant in the world"
Standing outside the door and looking at it, although this Tianyuan Tower and Wanghai Tower are three stories high, this scale is obviously much larger than Wanghai Tower.
However, after coming to this world for so long and experiencing so many things, Guan Yan is no longer the kid who went to Xuzhou to borrow grain. Guan Yan looked at it slightly, then walked into Tianyuan Tower with his hands behind him, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce glanced at each other and entered with their steps.
This Tianyuan Building deserves to be called "the first floor in the world", the outside of the building is magnificent, it is a carved beam painting building, the magnificent wall is full of landscape calligraphy and paintings, a look is a celebrity's handwriting, tables, chairs, benches, dark red oil, presumably are made of precious mahogany, and then look at all kinds of porcelain vase furnishings, tea bowls and dinner plates, all exquisite and beautiful, a series of decorations make Guan Yan, who often goes in and out of the palace, can not help but sigh.
As soon as the shopkeeper saw that there were guests, he was busy smiling and greeting: "Please be objective inside"
At the moment of welcome, the shopkeeper had already looked at Guan Yan and the three of them: these three people were born, and they must have never been to Tianyuanlou, although the leader was only wearing a simple green robe, but his eyes were like stars, his breath was calm, and he could know that he was not an ordinary scholar and then looked at the two people behind him, one was handsome, and the other was heroic, and the shopkeeper had already made a judgment in an instant: these three people must be the official eunuchs and the children of the scholar clan outside Jingzhao!
As the "No. 1 restaurant in the world" in Luoyang City, dignitaries, giants and wealthy businessmen are all high-ranking businessmen, and the shopkeepers in it have already exercised a pair of fiery eyes, who is noble, who is rich, who is poor, who is cheap, at a glance, there is a chance that seven or eight out of ten will not be mistaken.
With a firm heart, the shopkeeper greeted him diligently: "Three guest buildings, please!" ”
There are actually seats on the first floor of this Tianyuan Building, but according to the concept of "although the businessmen are rich and cheap" in this era, the businessmen can only sit on the first floor no matter how rich they are.
And at a glance to determine whether Guan Yan and others are businessmen, the shopkeeper has already figured out his own set of experience:
In the eighth year of Han Gaozu, he ordered: "Jia people do not have splendid clothes." "Merchants were not allowed to wear clothes made of fine silk and arrowroot with patterns, in other words, they could only wear low-quality clothes without patterns.
And the businessmen have made a lot of money, but they can't show it blatantly, which can make these businessmen on the rich side anxious to death. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, buying and selling officials were rampant, and a lot of businessmen went to great lengths to buy an official and a half-job not to make money, but more importantly, to be able to get rid of the identity of "businessmen" and enjoy the long-awaited "glory", such as: wear silk and satin that can be bought but cannot be worn, and eat to the second or even third floor of Tianyuan Building
But those who can take the road of buying officials are all businessmen's giants, and most businessmen still can't get rid of the "businessman's lowly status". These merchants could not wear their clothes well, so they made gold and jade ornaments to decorate their whole bodies, in order to cover up the coarse cloth clothes.
Although Guan Yan and his entourage are dressed simply, the fabrics are exquisite, and they are all extraordinary, so the shopkeeper is sure that the two of them are not businessmen on the second floor.
Guan Yan didn't know that there would be such a big reason for this simple second-floor meal, as Guan Yan and his party slowly walked to the second floor, the guests downstairs who were drinking around the table and dressed gorgeously couldn't help but cast jealous glances
