Bailu Tower, also called Fan Tower, is located in the north of the Royal Street in the center of Bianliang. This building is a landmark building in Bianliang City, three floors high, but not one, but five, including a high-altitude flying bridge, which is the first of the 72 famous buildings in Bianliang. Later, the tryst between Song Huizong and the famous prostitute Li Shishi was here.

The reason why it is called alum building is because it was not a hotel originally, but a place where merchants sell alum, and then it was rebuilt into a hotel.

It is very close to the Donghua Gate of Jinshi's list, and the reason why there are 72 famous restaurants in Tokyo is because the Song Dynasty requires the approval of the government to make wine, and there are exactly 72 shops in Bianliang City, Tokyo, where there are government approvals to make wine.

The reason why Bai Alum Tower is the first is also because their home-brewed wine is the best in Bianliang City.

Today, Zhao Zongshi's wine banquet is in the alum building, this is also the first time Gan Qi came to the alum building, five high-rise buildings, there are ordinary wine shops, there are reception halls, there are oiran boudoirs, as well as the floor for watching acrobatics, the hall for singing and dancing, everything.

In the inner city of Bianliang, this is the place where the real dignitaries gather for entertainment and consumption.

At night in the alum building, the lights are bright, and the singing and dancing are noisy.

Sister Zhao introduced Zhao Zongshi to Gan Qi with a smile, and the two exchanged greetings a few times.

Gan Qi also looked Zhao Zongshi up and down, with a round face, two mustaches, a goatee under his chin, and a strong sideburns on the side of his face, he looked like an honest man.

Obviously, this shape has been carefully trimmed, if it is not trimmed, Zhao Zongshi will definitely have a beard with a beard. If that's the case, Zhao Zongshi should look a little fierce.

When the wine and food came up, the dancing girl danced in front of her head, and the band played and sang.

Zhao Zongshi, who looks like an honest man, smiled and looked even more honest, and said with a smile: "I have admired the name for a long time, and when I see it today, the young man is romantic, and his reputation is well deserved." ”

Gan Qi also replied: "The general is falsely praised, and when you see the general below, you are heroic!" ”

The reason why Gan Qi called Zhao Zongshi "General" is because Zhao Zongshi has an official position, the general of the right guard, of course, this is just a fictitious position.

At this time, Sister Zhao on the side kept giving Zhao Zongshi a look, Zhao Zongshi received the look, and said: "I see that Mr. Gan is so young and promising, I don't know if there is a marriage match?" ”

When Gan Qi heard this, he thought to himself: It's coming, it's finally here, and it's time to get to the point. This eldest sister Zhao is really ruthless, even Zhao Zongshi, who has been in the palace since he was a child, has moved out.

I heard Gan Qi reply seriously: "If a man's great cause is established, why should he be a family!" ”

"Oh? I don't know what Mr. Gan means by men's great cause? Zhao Zongshi asked again.

"If you can't sing outside the Donghua Gate and can't serve the country, isn't it a mediocre life and nothing to do?" Ganchi replied.

Zhao Zongshi nodded again and again when he heard this, he very much agreed with this word, not only he agreed, but the literati of the entire Great Song Dynasty would definitely agree. So Zhao Zongshi said: "This is a great word, a man should have great ambitions, and the love of children is nothing compared to the major affairs of the family and the country." ”

When Sister Zhao heard this, she was so anxious that she hurriedly spoke: "Ahem...... Ahem......"

Zhao Zongshi looked embarrassed, and said, "But what...... Right...... As the old saying goes, if you start a family and start a business, you can start a family first, that is, you don't have to worry about the future, and then you can start a business, and you can seek it wholeheartedly. ”

At this time, Sister Zhao smiled again and nodded slowly.

Gan Qi looked at Sister Zhao, he didn't know what to think in his heart, and then looked at Zhao Zongshi, but he could only nod: "The general said very much." ”

"Hmm." Zhao Zongshi nodded, organized some words, and said: "If you can match such a talented person as Mr. Gan, you should also have a daughter with both talent and morality, eldest sister, which family in Bianliang City has a daughter with both talent and virtue, you might as well find one or two for Mr. Gan." ”

This time it's really here, Gan Qi is bitter in his heart, and his face is not very good-looking, and he can't even pretend to be smiling. This General Zhao is really a little offended, how to escape from this encounter, Gan Qi has already thought about breaking his head.

There was also Zhao Zonghan on the side who smiled silently, waiting to watch the play, Zhao Zongshi is Zhao Zonghan's brother.

Sister Zhao had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, but she still pretended to think about it, thought about it, and replied: "In Bianliang City, it is difficult to find a daughter with both talent and virtue, but it is a pity. ”

Zhao Zongshi sighed when he heard this: "Alas...... There are many virtuous women, talented women are rare, both talented and virtuous, that is rare, rare in the world. Mr. Gan, it's a pity. ”

Gan Qi looked at the sister and brother for a while, but did not speak, and knew that it would be a pity to follow.

Sure enough, Sister Zhao spoke again: "My brother is right, a daughter with both talent and virtue is rare, but my old Zhao family is the home of dragons and phoenixes, and there are few of them. It's just that Xiaomei has always had a very high vision, but with a talent like Mr. Gan, maybe Xiaomei is willing to think about it. ”

"Yes, the eldest sister didn't say it, I forgot it, our little sister is really the best in Bianliang City, and her talent is not inferior to that of a man, so you can consider it." Zhao Zongshi is actually really an honest man, a real honest man, and today's acting skills are really embarrassing for him.

Gan Qi also knew that the play was over, and it was his turn to speak, so he replied: "If you sing a big name outside the Donghua Gate, you are qualified to talk about this, otherwise you will live in the world and dare not delay the beauty." ”

Zhao Zongshi looked at Gan Qi's righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, liked it from the bottom of his heart, nodded and asked, "Is Mr. Gan confident in his ability to try this time?" ”

"Nope." Gan Qi replied categorically, and said: "There are many talents in the world, and there are countless people who are rich and rich. ”

Zhao Zongshi only thought that Gan Qi was humbling, waved his hand and smiled: "Young people are not necessarily shallow, that day in the palace, even Bachelor Ouyang also praised Mr. Gan. ”

Gan Qi still replied: "In the imperial imperial examination, it is not possible to get a few poems and articles, and it is normal to fail the examination. ”

At this time, Sister Zhao was already ugly, and when she heard Gan Qi say it, her face became more and more ugly.

Suddenly, Sister Zhao stood up and asked, "Gan Qi, you have good intentions, you dare to deceive people, who can't deceive you, and you even deceived me." ”

"I don't know what the eldest sister means?" Gan Qi knew it was bad.

Sure enough, Sister Zhao said angrily: "I have sent someone to Kaifeng Mansion to ask, I wanted to inquire about your township exam, but I didn't expect that you didn't even take the township exam, how can you take the exam?" You are so cunning, how can the court use it? When my brother enters the palace and the official family knows, you will not be able to sing the name for the rest of your life. ”

This! Caught Ganchi off guard.

Zhao Zongshi also frowned, and asked, "Mr. Gan didn't take the township test?" ”
