Qinghefang is in Lin'an City and is famous.

The four major night markets in Lin'an City, the West Square of the City, the mouth of the official lane, the Zhong'an Bridge and the Qinghe Fang, are distributed along the Royal Street, like four bright pearls, the long Royal Street, connected into a string, every night, standing on the top of the Phoenix Mountain, looking at the brilliant city in the distance, into a brilliant light, the whole canal is shrouded in lanterns, the huge city is entrenched in the light and shadow, even if you are in it, you can't help but sigh the prosperity of Lin'an.

Although the four major night markets have the same name, they have their own merits inside.

The west square of the city is also called Yangbatou, one of the three major tiles in the south, north and middle of Lin'an City is here, alias "Wuhua Center", listen to the name to know what is the most developed business. That's right, it's a goolan brothel.

Guanxiangkou is also known as Shou'an Field, is a flower market, light street, selling flowers and lamps are extraordinarily many, gold and silver shops are also very concentrated, the big girl and the little daughter-in-law want to buy some jewelry, the preferred place to purchase is this piece.

And Zhong'an Bridge, is the place where the majority of government-run restaurants are located, basically you can see a signboard flag every few steps, the day before yesterday, Changsun Hong and others made a fuss about the spring breeze building, right here.

As for Qinghefang, where Chen Yu wants to take Changsun Hong to now, it is the most upscale venue among the four major night markets.

Qinghefang vertical and horizontal five streets, restaurants and tiles are densely distributed, much more than elsewhere, high-end restaurants are countless, with the majority of private enterprises, Lin'an is the most famous Sanyuan Building, Wujian Building, Xichun Building, Shuangfeng Building, etc. are all here, plus many top hook columns, constitute the largest gold kiln and happy nest in Lin'an City, I don't know how many prodigal sons indulge in it, and I don't know how many crazy people are born in it.

Chen Yu rode through the street and led the eldest grandson Hong to the outside of Qinghefang, which is close to a river in the city, called the City River, also called the small river, the river is not wide, not as wide as the Yanqiao River, but it can also be boated, the river water is clear, for the residents of the city to use.

There is a bridge on the river, the nearest one, called Xichun Bridge, the famous Xichun Building is built on the left side of the bridge, the three-storey building, magnificent, the hustle and bustle of the eating and drinking order and the murmur of the geisha singing a little song accompanied by the wild laughter of men and women often overflow from the building, flow to the river, and the boatmen on the river frequently look up.

The tall archway here, the three big characters of "Qinghefang" are said to have been engraved here from the time of Emperor Gaozong, and you can't ride a horse inside, because there are too many people.

The two abandoned their horses and walked, Chen Yu's entourage knew that they were waiting here, there were horse tethering stones on the side of the road, and there were already many horses tied here.

"Brother Eldest Sun is the first time to come back to Lin'an, right?" Chen Yu took the eldest grandson Hong, walking on the street, walking forward in the bustling flow of people, Sanyuanlou was in front, and he wanted to bypass Xichun Tower, there were many people, and he walked very slowly, so Chen Yu talked while walking: "How is it?" There is no place for such fireworks to flourish, right? ”

Changsun Hong nodded, and watched a group of chattering women in ancient costumes pass by as he walked, the smell of rouge that came with the wind almost made him hold his breath, the rouge of this era is really rouge, the kind of rouge that can be eaten, the taste is very strong, he covered his nose and replied: "Yes, I have never seen such a big city." ”

Chen Yu listened to his muffled voice, turned his head strangely, looked at his appearance, couldn't help laughing, stroked his palms and said: "Changsun Hong really fell in love with me, they are all men who don't know how to love amorous customs, I don't know how to pick flowers and cherish leaves, hahaha, I still have to cover my nose when I walk here, I'm afraid it's only you and me." ”

He leaned closer and said mysteriously: "The first time I came here, I was also stimulated by the smell of women, and I twisted my nose for a while before I got used to it." ”

The eldest grandson Hong felt a little embarrassed, so he put his hand down and dealt with it perfunctorily.

The two continued to move forward, walked ten steps, and saw a tall restaurant towering in front of them, the same three-story wooden building, but built more chic than the Xichun Building, the front door of the building is like a city, and the little two who welcome the guests are very busy.

"Here it is." Chen Yu walked over and said to Xiao Er, who was smiling like a spring flower: "Where is my pavilion?" ”

The little two know Chen Yu, the primary quality of this profession is to recognize people accurately, and never forget, Chen Yu seems to come here often, the little two familiar mouth "uncle, uncle" diligently shouted, led the two to a pavilion on the second floor.

"There are three masters waiting inside, two of them please." Xiao Er bowed his waist, knocked respectfully on the door of a pavilion, and asked, "The pavilion next door, the uncle is used to sit and sing the girl, do you want to call her up now?" ”

"There's no hurry." Chen Yu smiled: "I heard that your restaurant will have the top card of Longshan tile coming over tonight, right?" ”

Xiao'er suddenly laughed, with an indescribable lewdness in his philistine's smile, he nodded and said, "Where did the uncle get the wind?" The news is really well-informed, the uncle is right, Tang An'an, the top girl of Longshan Wa, will come to the town building tonight, and the guests who know the news are waiting for her. ”

"If you are not well-informed, how can you just order your family's pavilion?" Chen Yu showed a smug smile on his face: "Let them not wait, wait for Miss An An to come, and bring it directly to me." ”

Xiao'er froze for a moment and said, "This ...... Official, the price of An An's girl chartering is not cheap. ”

"Is the uncle like a man who is short of money?" Chen Yu became impatient, he couldn't lose face in front of Changsun Hong, so he immediately took out a small piece of something the size of a fly from his purse and threw it to Xiao Er: "Reward you, you must let Miss An An come over later!" ”

Xiao Er took it, and immediately smiled, it turned out to be a small piece of silver, about a few cents, but when converted into copper coins, it was a lot. Moreover, there was very little silver in the Song Dynasty, and most of the copper coins circulated in the market, so of course Xiao Er was happy to get a tip of a piece of silver.

"Okay, don't worry, uncle!" Xiao Er put the silver in his pocket: "The little one will go down and make arrangements, and Miss An An will definitely come to your pavilion later!" No one can grab it. ”

"That's right." Seeing the little fart going downstairs, Chen Yu pushed the door, turned around and led Changsun Hong into the private room.

The pavilion is not large, there is a round table with good food and wine on the table, scrolls of calligraphy and paintings hung on the wall, there are high candlesticks in the four corners, and the sarong candles are lit, and a window is open outside, and the breeze from the river outside the window blows gently, raising the soft curtains by the window.

There were three people sitting at the edge of the table, with the seat of the head empty, chatting, listening to the sound of the door, and looking at it together.

"Heh, it's finally here!" A tall, sturdy man in his thirties stood up and shouted, "We thought you were dragged in and couldn't get out by the girl from Xichun Tower, and we were about to go out to look for you!" ”

"Hahaha, exactly, if you don't come again, we will report to the official, saying that the first prodigal son in the two Huai armies was kidnapped by a girl in Lin'an City, and asked me to wait for the army to take the money to ransom people." Another man, also in his thirties, slightly shorter and more urbane, chimed in, turning his head to the first person to speak.

"Brother Lu, I'm waiting for the big soldiers, and I have no money to redeem, so what can I do?"

The first person waved his hand and said in a loud voice: "I had to go with him, and after two days, the girls squeezed him dry, and naturally let him come back!" ”

"Hahaha!"

The three people in the room laughed together, beat their chests and stomped their feet, and were overjoyed.

Chen Yu's face was flushed, obviously he was said to be helpless, but he did make people wait for a long time, froze for a moment, and had to act together, and said with a wry smile: "Three brothers, don't laugh at me, I'm late to take over Brother Sun, just admit punishment." ”

"Oh?" The last of the three was dressed as a scribe, and when he heard the sound, he stopped laughing, glanced at Chen Yu's back, and said, "Could it be that this is Xichuan Changsun Hong?" ”

Changsun Hong was actually standing at the door, and he had already looked at the people in the house.

He was excited.

This room is equivalent to sitting on half of the sky in the Southern Song Dynasty.

He clenched his hands, his brain was running at high speed, thinking about what to say and how to do it in order to make these three gods impress him.

The person dressed as a scribe asked a question, saving Chen Yu from the embarrassing situation, he hurriedly pulled Changsun Hong, and introduced Zhengse: "Brothers, this is what I often mention, the heroes of Wenwu Zhen Sichuan, the eldest grandson Hong, the eldest grandson." ”

He pointed to the three people opposite him and introduced them one by one.

"This person who looks the oldest is the Fuzhou Observation Envoy, the Deputy Commander of the Guards and the Ma Army, the outstanding general in our two Huai armies, the talent that Zhao Kui and Zhao Xiang are trying to promote, Lord Lu Wende Lu."

"This is the Jinshi who has been in Shaoding for five years, knows Huai Yangdao, and knows the Lord Xiang Shibi of Anqing, he is a civil official and a military officer, don't look at him shorter than Brother Lu, but his strength is the biggest among us."

"This is the eldest son of Lord Du Gao Du, Si Nong Cheng of the Imperial Court, Zhizhen Prefecture and Huaidong Criminal Officer, Lord Du Shudu, his tiger father has no dogs, he is capable, and he is the most outstanding in writing."

With his introduction, Changsun Hong bowed his hand to the three of them one by one, and a pair of eyes kept moving from one person to another, his eyes were warm and hot, as if he had seen three living treasures.
