Chapter 19: You're Insane...
Yuntianlou, into the clouds, a table of wine, three years, three or two real gold hands shake, the waist is wrapped in thousands of into the building...
This is a famous nursery rhyme in Yangzhou Mansion, which is about the famous Yuntianlou. Yuntianlou is famous for its high and noble Yangzhou Mansion, it is the highest building in Yangzhou Mansion, with seven floors, and the roof of the building seems to be in the clouds; Yuntianlou is very expensive, it takes three years of savings for ordinary people to eat a table of wine in it, and when the money in Yuntianlou is small, it will be spent with a slight shake of the hand, so only the nobles with thousands of dollars are eligible to enter the building.
Each floor of the Sky Tower is supported by several gilded columns, which are carved with white tigers and phoenix unicorns, showing a luxurious atmosphere; Sandalwood tables and chairs are placed around the window, overlooking the beautiful scenery of Yangzhou City, with an unobstructed view. The center of each floor is built with a high platform with a railing, and there are often beautiful dances to entertain the nobles.
No one knows who the boss behind Yuntianlou is, and there have been dignitaries who have stretched out their hands to Yuntianlou, but there has been no movement after a few days, leaving a mysterious color for the people who eat melons, and leaving the nobles deeply jealous. Moreover, Yuntianlou has its own rules, no one is allowed to do anything in Yuntianlou, and anyone who is worthy of the pair left by the boss can eat in Yuntianlou for a month.
So since the opening of the building, no one dared to make trouble in Yuntianlou, however, no one was able to eat in Yuntianlou for free for a month.
Yuntianlou brings together all kinds of cuisines, fish and shrimp in the river, birds in the sky, and animals in the mountains. On the east side of the third floor, a table of delicacies from the mountains and seas ate Cao Wei to his heart's content, and the corners of Grandpa Xu's mouth twitched. I have never seen such a brazen person, the wine and food are all expensive points, and what do you say only choose the expensive ones, not the right ones, a meal costs nearly a thousand taels of silver, and Grandpa Xu feels distressed when he thinks about it.
"Pengju, look at it, this is the South China Sea lobster, the meat is delicious, tender and delicious, the price is not expensive, only fifty taels of silver, cost-effective! I asked for a total of three, I have two, and one gently......" Cao Wei explained the ingredients to the little grandfather while eating delicious food.
Not expensive? Feelings don't cost you money! Young Grandpa Xu secretly felt sorry for himself, he would be a fool if he invited this person to dinner again, or a fool who took one road and fell into the pit twice.
Mei looked at Xu Peng's painful appearance and secretly felt funny, no wonder Brother Pan Fu said that drinking with his senior brother would be ruined, and he couldn't help blushing when he thought of what he had just eaten... Mei Yushi is an honest official, and the family does not have much property, so it can only be regarded as a small rich family, where can Mei Qingrou eat these delicacies at home.
"Which girl is this, the place is so marked, how about having a glass of wine with my son?" The three of them looked up and saw two men, one wearing a gray brocade robe and holding a folding fan, and the other was wearing a white robe, looking at Mei Qingrou unscrupulously, his eyes were lustful, and his tone was very light.
Mei Qingrou was visibly frightened by such a light words and gaze, and fidgeted.
Cao Wei's face suddenly became gloomy, and he was about to speak, when he heard Xu Pengju say lightly: "Where did the two wild dogs come from, barking so wildly, is there no master to discipline them?" ”
The two men suddenly changed color, and the man in the white robe was about to make a move, but was stopped by the man in gray.
"Brother Zhou, this is Yuntianlou, it's not appropriate to do it, when you get out of here, it's not a matter of killing anyone." The man in gray did not lower his voice, and the warning became more and more obvious.
Watching the two men leave, Xu Pengju said lazily: "After all, we are out of interest, and listening to the words, we will still be chased and bitten." ”
Cao Wei sneered: "Kill or bury!" ”
…………
Cao Wei and the three of them went out of Yuntianlou, only to see a team of officials surround them, and one of the leaders shouted: "After being reported, these three people are Jiangyang thieves, and they are specially captured today." ”
Xu Pengju stopped the bodyguard who was about to make a move, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect it to come so quickly, it seems that this official mansion was opened by their family, since this is the case, we have to go and have a fun."
Uncle Zhang and Uncle Wang, the two of you took my father's token and went to the prefect's yamen to ask Zhou Bin if there was any royal law in Yangzhou Mansion. After Xu Pengju finished speaking, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, although there was a smile on his face, anyone could hear the chill in his words.
When the official led by Xu Pengju heard Xu Pengju call the prefect by his name, he knew that the young master was probably kicked to the iron plate this time, but now it is difficult to ride a tiger and have to arrest people.
Half an hour later, Cao Wei and the others were taken to the prefect's cell, and they were not even interrogated. Soon after, a hurried footsteps were heard, and the prefect ran to the cell panting, and knelt down on the spot after seeing Xu Pengju, and said: "I've seen the little grandfather, the subordinates of the lower officials have caught the wrong person, and I hope that the little grandfather Haihan." ”
Zhou Bin also wanted to die, and when he heard that his son sent someone to arrest Xu Guogong's son in prison, he almost jumped off the chair, this is the original pit father, and when this happens, he must hang that unfilial son and beat him, otherwise sooner or later he will really kill himself.
Xu Pengju heard Zhou Bin say this, and sneered: "Zhou Zhifu's sentence caught the wrong person, so he wanted to send the master away?" ”
When Zhou Bin heard Xu Pengju say this, cold sweat flowed out, and he hurriedly kowtowed: "After the official goes back, he will strictly discipline the son, and I hope that the little grandfather will be gracious." ”
"Brother Cao, how do you say this matter should be resolved?" Xu Pengju asked Cao Weidao.
Cao Wei walked up to Zhou Bin and asked with a smile, "Does Governor Zhou recognize me?" ”
Zhou Bin looked up, then shook his head and said, "Forgive me for being stupid and not knowing nobles." ”
"My name is Cao Wei, and the prefect naturally doesn't recognize me, but my teacher, the prefect must have heard of it. He's just coming to supervise the imperial history Mei Yushi.,Ah,Did you see that girl?,That's the baby daughter of the supervising imperial history.。 ”
When Zhou Bin heard Cao Wei say this, he broke out in a cold sweat even more, which of these three people he could afford to provoke? Mei Yushi knew that he had arrested his student and daughter, and he had to take off his shoes and slap my face, that evil obstacle was going to kill my father...
Cao Wei saw that Zhou Bin didn't speak, and said to himself: "This time I came to the cell as a guest, the three of us have suffered a lot of losses, especially Grandpa Xu, who has always been in bad spirits, if it develops into a neuropathy, can you afford it?" So at least there has to be some compensation, don't you say, Zhou Governor? ”
Zhou Bin breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, since it could be solved with money, it would not be a problem, and immediately said: "The lower official is willing to offer three thousand ...... of silver."
"Huh? Three thousand taels? ”
"Five thousand, five thousand taels, talk about your heart, and I hope you will accept it." After Zhou Bin finished speaking, he wiped the sweat on his forehead again, but fortunately he changed his words in time...
After a pillar of incense, Cao Wei and the three of them left the prefect's yamen under the congratulations of the Zhou prefect.
"Brother Cao, what kind of disease is neurosis?" Xu Pengju was puzzled.
"Neuropathy is a very high disease, and the person who gets the disease must be noble and elegant, sometimes he feels a faint sadness, and sometimes he has an inexplicable joy..."
"Then I'm insane." Xu Pengju said excitedly: "Really, I often feel this way. ”
"yes, you're insane..."
