Following Liu's mother, everyone came to a third-floor attic.

And they went in, and sat down at separate tables.

Immediately, a maid brought tea to everyone.

"Little prince, can you serve wine and food?"

"Hmm."

"Do you need to sing and dance?"

Xiang Haoxuan looked at women like Lin Yiru and Zhang Muer.

Shaking his head, he chuckled, "No."

"Then please wait a while, the old man will come." As soon as Liu's mother said goodbye, she went out to make arrangements.

……

"This time it went well, didn't it?" Xiang Haoxuan asked with a smile.

"It's okay, it's going well."

"I received a message from Yixin, Deming is in the exam time, you better be careful, there is nothing necessary, it's better not to go out, and Brother Cao, you offended my cousin today, you have to keep a low profile recently, don't be caught by her and hurt your feet, Yixin estimates that there will be a few days left." In just a few words, Xiang Haoxuan said all the things that need to be paid attention to in the near future.

"Hehe, Xie Xiaowang is concerned." The two nodded, a little embarrassed, and there was a sense that they were a good person.

"I said it casually, too." Embarrassed to see the two, Xiang Haoxuan smiled.

"Little prince, don't worry, except for going out with my master during this time, no one else will call me." After speaking, Luo Ming deliberately glanced at the direction of Xia Haibo and others, in Lin Bibi's words, these rookies, going out with them must be extremely dangerous.

"Dead Luo Fatty, what do you mean by those eyes?" Xia Haibo scolded when he saw Luo Ming's flat eyes.

"No, that's what it means," Luo Ming looked at Zhang Mu'er beside him, and Xia Haibo's shouting was not false at all.

"There's a heads-up ......"

"Cut, heads-up is heads-up, it's not that I haven't singled out, that time in the Drunken Immortal Building...... Hey hey ......"

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the compartment.

……

Xiang Haoxuan ignored the quarrels of the others, he knew that this was helping him cover up, and asked softly, "Brother Cao, what are your plans after passing the exam?" Are you going to go somewhere? Or Kyoshi? ”

Cao Yan knew that this should be preparing to pave the way for himself in the future.

"What does the little prince think?"

"What we mean is that it's better to stay in Jingshi."

Cao Yan knew what we meant, he didn't shirk it, and nodded: "Okay!" ”

"Brother Cao, have you ever thought about serving in that department?"

"This? Let's take a look first, "Cao Yan doesn't know what kind of court he is now, and it's inconvenient to draw conclusions.

"Okay, Brother Cao will take a look at the Hanlin Academy first, and when the time comes, we will think of a way if we have a plan."

"Well, thank you, little prince."

"Brother Cao is polite."

After that, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves......

……

……

Night.

In a splendid palace.

"You mean, Yiru and Sanhuo have arrived in Beijing?" A graceful and luxurious woman asked a masked man beside her.

"Well, I arrived at noon today, and I had a conflict with Xiang Aoyun in front of Fan Lou in the evening, and Xiang Haoxuan just arrived and resolved it."

"It's fine, but aren't they too daring?"

"Hehe, that's when you didn't see him bolder."

"Oh, let's hear how bold he is?"

"I'll tell you......" The man with the mask began to talk about some of Cao Yan's past, and the woman kept chuckling.

This night, many people talked about Cao Yan and others' entry into Beijing, especially Xiang Yixin's competitors.

"Haha, she Xiang Aoyun also has today, thinking that she recruited a few people in the martial arts, she will run rampant, and now she has been slapped in the face, right?"

"Yes, it would be nice if you were here at the time, you don't know how dark her face is."

"Yes, she said at the beginning that she had to fight five games, but she was scared away by two games, and now the whole royal family doesn't know how many people are laughing at her, hehe."

"Haha, then she must be angry now?"

"That's for sure."

"So? So what would her expression be if we went to visit her now? ”

"The county lord is smart, I guess her expression will be very exciting." One of the guards shouted in fear.

"Or the county lord is smart, why didn't his subordinates think of it?" The other guard hurriedly followed with a look of sudden realization.

"Haha, let's go, let's take a look."

This is also the case in many large mansions in this area.

However, their attitudes towards Cao Yan are also different.

……

……

Until the end of the meal, all the men were very honest.

Among them, Luo Ming is even more so.

Even the lady who served the food didn't even look at it.

Always look at the nose and the nose at the heart.

A model man's style.

After eating, everyone sat down for a while, chatted a few words, and then made an appointment to go on a night tour of Beijing.

At this time, Kaifeng, the capital of Great Chu, is an unprecedented city that never sleeps in the world, and Kaifeng Night Market is the "originator" of the night market, and there is a saying that "the shops cannot be counted".

The lights are bright, the voices are boiling, the Washe hook the column, the restaurant and the teahouse, the sheng song does not stop, and the whole night is up......

Zhang Zeduan's "Qingming Riverside Map" depicts a corner of the Kaifeng market, at a crossroads, the upper left is the incense medicine shop "Liu's family coloring Shen Tan neem", the upper right is a storytelling stall, a mutton shop, a snack stall, a flower stall, the hotel "Sun Yangzheng Store" at the bottom left is "Jieku" (similar to a pawnshop), and at the bottom right is the hotel "Jiuzhu Wang Yuanwaijia" and "Xiangyinzi" (drink) stalls.

There are two red gauze gardenia lamps hanging under the eaves on both sides of the gate of the hotel's "Sun Yang Zheng Store", and there are three light box signboards on the ground, all of which show the prosperity of the night business.

And few people know that such a prosperous place is not in the capital, but in the East Water Gate, Yangzhou Gate, Hongqiao Road, not in the city, just at the foot of the wall outside the city, but it is so prosperous.

The city's most famous night markets, Mahang Street Night Market and Zhouqiao Night Market, are even more prosperous.

Zhouqiao Night Market has everything you need, and the price is good. According to the seasonal solar terms, frying, boiling, steaming, and cold dressing have their own characteristics.

Mahang Street Night Market is a hundred times more prosperous than Zhouqiao Night Market, the candle oil burned all night, smoked so that the whole street and alley can not even see a mosquito, Donghua Bream sold by Wei's Fish Shop, a snack bar outside Donghua Gate, was once used as a big dish at the imperial banquet, and the poet Mei Yaochen also wrote the poem "Guests come down from the capital, and leave Donghua Bream far away".

However, its most lively area is still the area of Daxiangguo Temple.

At this time, Xiangguo Temple is a bit like the Wanda Plaza in later generations, and it is the only one in the country and even the world.

It is a temple covering an area of more than 540 acres, with 64 Zen and Vinaya institutes, supporting more than 1,000 monks; The atrium and west corridor of the temple also have a large square that can accommodate more than 10,000 people.

On the first day, the eighth day, the fifteenth, the eighteenth, and the twenty-eighth day of each month, the Great Xiangguo Temple will hold a grand temple market.

You know, this is the only regular department store market in the capital, and customers and merchants rush to buy and sell on the day it opens.

Entering from the outermost gate of Daxiangguo Temple, it is a place where birds and cats and dogs, rare birds and beasts are sold, and to put it simply, it is a pet trading area.

Further inside, near the area of the second three-gate, sells "use and sundries". What do you mean? Probably just groceries and some pet supplies.

This is really thoughtful, selling pets in the front, and sending pet supplies and groceries to the front of the back, it is difficult not to chop hands, Cao Yan just wants to say that this routine is really slippery.

After passing through the second three-gate, you will come to the atrium of the temple. That's right, it's a large square that claims to be able to accommodate 10,000 people.

And the things sold in this basically include the items of the whole world.

The merchants selling things in the atrium have set up storefronts called "color curtains, open houses, and charity shops", which are similar to the stalls of later generations, selling items such as mats, screens, and curtains, as well as selling weapons such as bows and arrows, and selling food such as seasonal fruits and bacon.

Passing through the atrium, close to the Maitreya Hall, is the calligraphy and painting area, where you can buy calligraphy and painting utensils made by famous artists, such as Zhao Wenxiu pen and Pan Gumo.

There is also a well-known restaurant that has entered the mess: Mengjia Taoist Wang Daoren Honey Fried, look, even the cultivators with good skills have come to do business.

Walk through the Maitreya Hall and look at the corridors on both sides, selling women's ornaments, which are mostly made by the nuns in the capital: embroidery (embroidery handicrafts), clothes and flowers, beaded heads, special crowns, hats, gold jewelry...... The whole nine yards.

Not to mention, there are many nuns who make embroidery. There is even an embroidery alley in the south of the temple, which is full of nuns making embroidery products.

And the most famous thing here is that the monk sells roast pork, you read that right, it is roasted by the monk.

It was a monk named Hui Ming, and the monastery where he opened his door to do business was called "Roast Zhu Yuan", and because of his famous roasted pork (roast pork), people called it "Roast Pig Temple".

This Taoist priest, monk, nun, none of them are idle, they are all used!

When I heard these people talk about these things, Cao Yan was like five thunders capped, and the sky was thundering, Cao Yan originally wanted to go over to taste the monk's roast pork, but there were too many people in line, so he gave up.

Finally, there is the courtyard in front of the Zisheng Pavilion, which is a special area for calligraphy and painting, books, incense, and local products.

And the corridor behind the Zisheng Pavilion, here is full of divination Taoists, giving fortune tellers and criticizing eight characters.

Out of Xiangguo Temple, Cao Yan sighed a little, this one-stop shopping, Daxiangguo Temple is worthy of being the overlord of this era!

After that, everyone walked along Bianhe Street, played all the way, enjoyed the lanterns, and enjoyed the scenery until the second half of the night. ()
