Chapter 011: Alum Tower
Maybe it was the influence of the one in his previous life, Yang Lin still felt a little kind about An Junnan, especially he also felt that the other party cared about his friend very much, in his words, after all, everyone was brothers who grew up together, and along the way he talked about some recent events in Beijing.
I have to say that it is good to have an official father in the family, and many lace news in the court can always be known for the first time, there are no newspapers and no Weibo in these years, and a thing always has to ferment for a long time before it reaches the ears of ordinary people. Just like the matter of Lin Jiaotou, there are even rumors outside that he cuckolded Gao Yanei and made the belly of other people's concubines bigger...... For Yang Lin, who is familiar with this history, such a rumor is really a bit outrageous, and the head of the Lin sect is also the sixth good man in Liangshan later, and he will not destroy his reputation for a woman.
From An Junnan's mouth, I learned that Lin Chong had been rescued on the way to Cangzhou, and the shot was Luda under the jurisdiction of Weizhou Jinglufu, nicknamed Monk Hua, who killed the bully Zhen Guanxi with three punches because of his injustice, and became a monk in order to avoid arrest by the government, and his legal name was Zhishen.
Well, it seems that the scene of 'making trouble in the wild boar forest' has been staged as scheduled, and history is finally on the right track after some twists and turns, in the foreseeable future, Liangshan Juyi, the imperial court Zhao'an, and the Fangla uprising should also follow, but I don't know how long this empire, which is already in turmoil, can hold on to this torrent of the times.
The store has been replaced with a new shopkeeper, who was sent by the old lady to take over the situation, who is shrewd and sophisticated, and it can be seen at a glance that Yang Lin and the two are not here to buy medicine at all, so they immediately became cautious, there have been several groups of people in the past few days, some Kaifeng Mansion came to check and collect evidence, and there are also outsiders who deliberately came to make trouble, looking for some people to squat at the door, and not let the store open normally.
The two young men behaved very well, especially the thin man in a cyan robe and who looked like a scholar, speaking softly, but with a clear organization and clear thinking, and asked about the purchase of some pharmacies, the price of medicinal materials, the closing time and other questions, which did not seem to have any connection with the previous case.
The shopkeeper is an old man who has followed the old lady for many years, and he has participated in the happy event of the second miss of the Shen family, and he vaguely remembers the appearance of the son-in-law who came to the door, and it feels a little similar to the back of the person who left just now......
Along the way, An Junnan was a little speechless, and when he was about to reach the alum tower, he finally couldn't help but speak: "I have also heard people talk about those things in the Shen family...... It's about Brother Lin's wife's room, I naturally won't sit idly by, and I have begged my father about this, but he always says that I am too impulsive, so I ......"
Yang Lin was slightly stunned when he heard this, and immediately understood what he meant, shook his head and smiled: "Don't worry about this matter, listen to your father's words." If you want to go far in the officialdom in the future, you will have to offend less people, there is no big problem with the Shen family, it is just a matter of losing more money, it is really going to make a big fuss, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, it is not easy for the Bianjing Mansion to show who to favor. ”
The little fat man touched his head awkwardly and said, "That's what my dad really said." ”
Yang Lin snorted, patted the little fat man's shoulder, and said, "Your father is an understanding person, study hard." ”
"By the way, Brother Lin, why did you ask those words when you went to the pharmacy just now?" The little fat man suddenly asked curiously.
"Well, people obviously don't believe us, so it's useless to ask anything else." Yang Lin said casually.
The little fat man obviously looked disbelieving and said, "Then why don't you tell people about your uncle's identity?" ”
"You're stupid, that person won't believe you anymore, you don't stay at home alone, your eggs hurt when you're full, you came to ask about this."
"I've only heard that I'm full of lust/lust, and it hurts when I'm full, hahaha, what kind of metaphor is this?"
“……”
"Brother Lin, I feel that you have changed a lot and become more thoughtful." The little fat man thought for a moment and said.
"Pretty pedantic before?"
"It's not pedantic, it's just a little tendony, my father said, it's like that if you read too many books."
"So that's why you don't study?"
"Hahaha, it's good to be like this anyway."
The two talked and laughed, and it didn't take long for them to come to the door of the alum tower.
For this famous restaurant in history, Yang Lin's initial impression of it is still a tryst between the merry emperor Song Huizong and the famous prostitute Li Shishi in Kyoto, of course, the talented man Zhou Bangyan who likes to listen to the bottom of the bed, the story of the three is still talked about by people thousands of years later, but in this era, the scandal has not spread until now, and there should be something wrong.
The emperor is still the merry emperor, and Zhou Bangyan is also a well-known talent, but the woman named Li Shishi doesn't seem to have appeared, or at this time she is just a little-known prostitute in the alum building.
The really famous people in the alum building are still those women who compete for the Oiran every year, such as the last Oiran 'Ting Zhi Girl', who was amazed by her pipa music skills in one hand, and after winning the championship, she married Lord Zhou as a concubine of the country's sacrificial wine, and since then she has lived incognito and lived a stable life.
But those who fell into the Qinglou as prostitutes, most of them are also poor women, who can win a good place through talent or hue, which is already the best result, many times there is a matter of being deceived and cheated of money, they can only endure, even if they sue the official, it is not very useful, and in a few years, they will be old and decrepit, poor and sick, and no one will ask anymore.
This year's Oiran Contest has not yet begun, but there are already several popular candidates for the championship, and several venues have also opened gambling markets one after another, and began to canvass for their respective candidates, such as the little fat man's good 'smoke', which is one of them, but compared to other famous prostitutes, the popularity is still slightly inferior, of course, it is also because she has a sweetheart, and plans to leave her nationality for good, no longer competing for fame and fortune.
When the two walked into the door, a woman dressed in fancy clothes took the initiative to greet them: "Gongzi An is coming, and the alum tower is full of flowers." ”
Well, it's a truth that you're a handsome guy and a beautiful woman when you talk to your descendants, but the little fat man is obviously very useful.
"This is my brother Lin, the first time I came, I remember to arrange a few young and sensible girls."
"No wonder it looks a little raw, but once it is born and twice cooked, this Lin Gongzi is please!" The woman was polite again, and led the two of them inside: "By the way, Gongzi An, the girl with smoke is already waiting on the second floor." ”
In order not to disturb the meeting of the young couple, Yang Lin found a corner to sit down alone, anyway, he just came over to see it, and he didn't need to be accompanied.
