Xu Guanzhong was in front, Wang Lun and others were behind, and they walked two or three miles. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Xu Guanzhong stopped, stretched out his hand and introduced: "This is the famous Cuiyun Tower on the top of the Daimyo Mansion!" ”

Wang Lun and the others looked up and saw a tall building towering in front of them, four or five feet high. Flying eaves fire tile, bucket arch staggered, yellow tile roof. The building is three floors high, upstairs and downstairs, and there are 100 pavilions in size.

The hearts of the people are so exquisite and magnificent, I am afraid that they are not under the Fan Lou of the No. 1 Restaurant in Bianliang, Tokyo. In front of the door, it was very lively, and there were many high-ranking officials and nobles.

The little spirit official was small and short, raised his head and looked up, and saw a plaque hanging on the outer wall of the second floor, with three big characters of "Cuiyun Building" dancing with dragons and phoenixes. Said innocently: "This building is even more luxurious than our drunken immortal building!" ”

Wang Lun touched the head of the little spirit official, looked at Cuiyun Building and said: "This building is famous in Hebei, it has been twenty or thirty years ago, which is comparable to the Drunken Immortal Building." ”

Xiao Lingguan's eyes were bright, and he didn't think about it: "In another ten years, the Drunken Immortal Building will definitely surpass the Cuiyun Building."

Xu Guanzhong listened to the conversation between Xiao Lingguan and Wang Lun, and asked curiously: "Is Drunken Immortal Mansion Brother Wang's restaurant business?" ”

There is nothing to hide about this, Wang Lun nodded and said: "Exactly, it has only been in business for more than three months." ”

Xu Guanzhong clapped his hands and smiled, and said: "A few days ago, someone was a guest in Cuiyun Building, and compared Drunken Immortal Building with it, but I didn't expect it to be Brother Wang's industry!" After listening to it, Xu Guanzhong said again. Lu Yuanwai also said that he must go and see it if he has time! ”

After listening to Xu Guanzhong's words, Wang Lun asked, "Is Lu Yuanwai a Hebei Jade Qilin?" ”

led Wang Lun and others into Cuiyun Building, Xu Guanzhong said: "Exactly, this Cuiyun Building is his industry."

Xu Guanzhong greeted at the counter, saying that a distinguished guest was here, and asked the shopkeeper to go to Lu Mansion to invite Lu Junyi here. Knowing that his master and Mr. Xu were on good terms, the shopkeeper was busy arranging up a guy to invite someone.

Xu Guanzhong took Wang Lun and others to the third floor, he insisted on being the east, but Wang Lun shirked but had to agree. Because Lu Junyi was coming, Wang Lun and Xu Guanzhong sat at a table alone, and Wang Xin, Du Qian, Jiao Ting, Han Bolong and Xiao Lingguan sat at a table. Several side dishes are Hebei specialties, including golden lion fish, purse loin, golden and silver swallow vegetables, crystal chicken slices, sauce tile fish, etc.

Seeing that Xu Guanzhong met for the first time, he had a big feast, and Wang Lun was very grateful for treating himself, and he had to raise a glass to thank him. "Thank you Brother Xu for your hospitality, and I will remember Wang Lun in this regard."

Xu Guanzhong also raised his glass and replied: "It's fate to see Brother Wang today. Dry! ”

At the moment, the two of them pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and drank a few glasses.

Thinking of Xu Guanzhong's many travels in various places, Wang Lun humbly asked about the people's livelihood and people's conditions, mountains and rivers geography. Xu Guanzhong is also well-informed, from Sichuan, Shaanxi, Yongliang to Yan, Zhao and Luyu, and from Jianghe Huaiji to Huaheng Huangtai.

There are many places where Wang Lun has only heard of it in later generations and has not been there, and at this time, listening to Xu Guanzhong's head is the Tao as if he had come to it himself.

After drinking another glass of wine, Wang Lun asked, "Brother Xu, do you know why my dynasty is going to open the capital?" Wang Lun's question also has the meaning of teaching.

Throughout the ages, all dynasties have regarded Dingdu as a top priority, involving the continuation and inheritance of the dynasty. There are also many famous capitals in previous dynasties, such as Chang'an, Luoyang, Nanjing, Bianzhou and so on.

Xu Guan likes to talk about the past and the present with people, and when he saw Wang Lun today, he was not an ordinary person, and he was excited. In a trance, I had the illusion that I was pointing out the country with Wang Lun and dividing the world.

After drinking a glass of wine, Xu Guanzhong said slowly: "After Taizu inherited Zhou Zhengshuo, this capital city also remains unchanged, with historical inertia and the role of the bureaucracy. Second, Kaifeng is located in the middle of the world, the southeast of the Bianqu Canal into the Tongji Canal with the Jianghuai, the east into the Wuzhang River and Qilu, the south into the Cai River to connect Chen Ying, the river network extending in all directions ensures the transportation of materials. Third, Kaifeng has been operating for a hundred years, and the large population is beyond the reach of Chang'an Luoyang at that time. At the end of the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Chang'an and Luoyang were basically abandoned, and the population was seriously drained. ”

Xu Guanzhong recalled Song Taizu's measures to set the capital, as well as the gains and losses of previous dynasties, and added another sentence. "Everyone thinks that Kaifeng is a flat river, and there is no danger to defend, but in fact, our dynasty is guarding the inside and outside, and taking the soldiers as the risk."

After speaking, Xu Guanzhong looked at Wang Lun and asked, "What does Brother Wang think?" ”

Wang Lun clapped his hands and exclaimed: "Brother Xu's last sentence is similar to the fact that the country is solid in virtue and not in danger!" ”

Seeing Wang Lun praising himself, Xu Guanzhong was proud for a while, but Wang Lun's words changed over there. "But what Brother Xu said is not perfect."

This was unexpected, and he asked, "Brother Wang, please speak!" ”

Wang Lun was confident, and he had already encountered this theory, and said confidently: "First, Beijing and Nanjing were not in our territory at that time, and Chang'an was close to the enemy country, and second, Taizu unfortunately died prematurely at that time. ”

Wang Lun's words can be said to be right or wrong, but these are indeed things that he didn't expect. Because Song Taizu did have plans to move the capital at that time, but was blocked by Emperor Taizong, who was still the king of Jin at the time, otherwise he might really move the capital.

Xu Guanzhong raised his glass again and invited Wang Lun to drink together, and said: "Brother Wang's insights are incisive and unique, Xu is not as good." Xu Guanzhong's words are honest and sincere, from the bottom of his heart.

Wang Lun was also very happy to be recognized by Xu Guanzhong, and he befriended Xu Guanzhong in the future, and he could recruit or ask for advice. Youdao is a good man, three gangs, and it is better to have capable people to help each other than to fight alone.

After a glass of wine, Xu Guanzhong talked about the characteristics of the remote places he had visited. For example, Tibetan delicacies of the Tibetan tribe, barley wine, butter tea, hada and horse racing programs to entertain guests. The Hezhe people in the northeast region wear clothes embroidered with cloud-side characteristics, and folk poets offer poems and tell stories to people.

As he spoke, someone from outside came in. One of the current people laughed and said, "Which is the hero of Jeju, Lu came to see him." ”

Wang Lun, Xu Guanzhong, Wang Xin, Du Qian and others stood up together, and the two sides saluted.

Xu Guanzhong introduced to Lu Junyi: "This is the Jeju Wang Lun brothers, first-class capable people. ”

After introducing Wang Lun, Xu Guanzhong introduced Lu Junyi to Wang Lun. "This is the Jade Qilin of the Daimyo Mansion, Lu Junyi, and Lu Yuanwai."

Wang Lun only saw Lu Junyi, with bright eyes, eyebrows divided into eight characters, and a body nine feet like silver. Majestic, dignified. The brown jacket is full of brocade lining, and the rich scarf is full of gold. Plain brocade embroidered flowers wrapped in the belly, white crotch Su practice waist. Three strands of thin hair covered the mouth, and the jade ring on the head shone brightly. Xindao Hebei Lu Junyi is worthy of his name!

There is another person behind Lu Junyi, and Xu Guanzhong was also introduced to Wang Lun. "This is Xiao Yi, Brother Yanqing often walks around Lu Yuanwai."

Wang Lun had long guessed that the person behind Lu Junyi was Yan Qing, and he saw that Yan Qing was more than six feet tall, about twenty years old, with red lips and white teeth, and a thin waist and broad shoulders. Wear a papaya heart top turban, wear a white shirt with a silver silk yarn collar, tie a spider spot red line to press the waist, and wear a pair of earthy yellow leather oil shoulder boots. A pair of gold rings on the back of the head, a Xiangluo handkerchief to protect the neck, a celebrity fan obliquely inserted around the waist, and a hairpin with four seasons flowers on the sideburns. What a romantic prodigal son Yan Qing!
