Chapter 40: Xizi Town
A day later, Xizi Town, Li House.
Xizi Town is backed by the cloudy mountain west, and the Baisha River, a tributary of Huaishui, flows through the town, with pleasant mountains and rivers and picturesque scenery.
There are all kinds of workshops, restaurants, and mansions in the town, and there are also all kinds of shops and small restaurants in the streets, and there are all kinds of people, and the whole town is a prosperous scene.
The most prestigious industries in Xizi Town are the rouge gouache and garment industry, and there are also the most workshops and shops for making these two goods. Rouge gouache is mellow and distinctive, which can meet the needs of people from different walks of life; Ready-to-wear is made because of its innovative design, the wide variety of fabrics, the fact that both men and women of all ages can find their favorite styles here, and the fact that each shop can accept the demand for customization to size, so there is a lot of ready-to-wear business here.
Both products are also sold all over the country because of their fame. Many of the businessmen who run this kind of business in Xizi Town have also made a fortune and bought a lot of mansions.
The Li family is one of them. The Li family only made cloth and garment production in Xizi Town.
As early as the Song Dynasty, the Li family was awarded a knighthood for their ancestors' military exploits. The title has been hereditary from generation to generation, and the heads of the Li family for all generations are also well-governed, and at the same time, they are also thriving in the shopping mall, so they have accumulated a lot of wealth.
By the time of the present dynasty, although the title had been lost, the wealth had increased instead of decreasing. is all because the Li family understands how to change with the times, and after abandoning the official position to engage in business, their familiarity with officialdom has made their business more smooth, and they are still in the officialdom everywhere, and they are exquisite. The Li family is huge and has a complex pedigree, although it has gone through a hundred years, each generation can produce a few shrewd and clear characters, which can not only stabilize the family business, but also find a place in the various cracks of the officialdom of the shopping mall.
As a result, the Li family's industry has also branched out and spread all over the country. In addition to the cloth and garment industry, the Li family also infiltrated into various industries such as restaurants, green houses, money villages, pharmacies, jewelry curiosities, etc., which can be described as a big business.
The Li Mansion in Xizi Town is just one of the branches of the Li family. Li Mansion is located at the foot of the west ridge of the cloudy mountain, backed by the west ridge, sitting in the north and facing south, covering an area of 100 acres. In the meantime, there are more than ten halls, green forests, rockeries and living waters, which are scattered. And the owner of this room, Li Changhe, and Li Bai's brothers are also well-known rich gentry in Xizi Town.
Li Changhe is stable and serious, and his family style is canonical, and he is the veritable head of the Li family in Xizi Town, and he is quite famous in Xizi Town, and both officials and businessmen have a little thin noodles. Although Li Baishu is full of poetry and books, he is quite romantic, playing with flowers all day long, messing with flowers and grass, and enjoying this and the other. But he is also good at making friends with righteous people, and he is bold and righteous, and he is generous, so he knows many heroes in the rivers and lakes, and he often calls himself a hero in the narrow sense, and he is like a few treasures about the affairs of the rivers and lakes.
In the back house of the Li family, there is a secret room, which is connected with the boudoir of Li Qiaojun, the young third lady of the Li family.
At this moment, there were seven women in the secret room, six of them sitting around a wooden bed lit with candles around it. These six women have different colors, but they are all slim, with vermilion lips and pink lips, all of them have a refined temperament, and they are stunning. What's even more strange is that the three girls on the right not only look dusty, peerless and gorgeous, but also have faces like goose eggs, eyebrows like the moon, beautiful eyes and noses, as if carved out of a mold, they are actually twin sisters. If it weren't for the one on the far right in a dark green shirt, the one in the middle in a pink and white shirt, and the one on the far left in a goose yellow dress, it's almost impossible to determine whether it's three people or one person.
The three on the left side of the wooden bed, dressed in light green, light blue, orange and yellow, and a silk long skirt of a water, are also all natural and beautiful, charming and charming, elegant and quiet, and have different temperaments.
On the wooden bed where the six women were sitting, there was a young girl. It's just that at the moment she is defenseless and her eyes are closed. In the glowing candlelight, this girl's carcass is fit, her legs are slender, her thighs are round, her hips are wide and her waist is thin, her breasts are towering, her skin is moist, and her face is soft. Under the candlelight, this girl is like a fairy in the moon, with a gorgeous temperament, ethereal, although her eyes are closed, it also makes people feel awe-inspiring, and she does not dare to approach, for fear that a glance will defile the fairy.
At this moment, the six women sat around the bed, dignified and solemn, their waists and abdomen tightened, their eyebrows and eyes lowered, motionless, their hands clasped on the dantian, as if they were performing some kind of ritual.
And the naked fairy on the bed, breathing evenly, but under the candlelight, her skin was slightly red in the white, and it seemed to be steaming slightly. As the moisture decreases, the skin slowly returns to normal.
I don't know how long the six girls have been here, but as the girl in bed slowly recovered, the six girls began to relax. A moment later, the candlelight flickered, and the girl suddenly opened her eyes and sat up suddenly.
Seeing this scene, the six women under the bed immediately bowed down and said solemnly: "Holy Daughter Sect disciples, Yue Qingru, Yue Colorful, Yue Wanwan, Li Qiaojun, Qin Qu, Xu Hualei, welcome the Holy Maiden!" ”
The six girls each signed up, and they called the girl on the bed a saint, and they were respectful.
The naked girl ignored their prostrations, her eyes flashed slightly, and with a wave of her hands, the candle flame was extinguished.
"He's coming!" The girl whispered.
On the banks of the Baisha River, Donghai Restaurant.
Xizi Town is prosperous in business, with frequent exchanges of merchants and countless people, so the restaurant is a business with rolling financial resources. Although the town is not large, there are hundreds of large and small taverns and restaurants. If you want to say that the most representative of Xizi Town, it must be the Donghai Restaurant.
Donghai Restaurant is located on the side of the Baisha River, the building is five floors high, mahogany and green tiles, carved railings and jade, standing upstairs overlooking the Baisha River, vast and vast, the scenery is unique, all kinds of flavor and special wine and dishes in the restaurant, everything is available, and guests from all walks of life can eat a favorite delicacy here. Locals say that when you come to Xizi Town, you must see the East China Sea, climb the East China Sea, and eat the East China Sea in order to be worthy of this trip.
What is even more commendable is the service and extraordinary layout design of the restaurant. Generally, if a restaurant can provide delicious meals with a little distinctiveness, it can maintain its capital and stand tall. Donghai Restaurant is not ordinary.
The restaurant has five floors. The first floor is the same as the public restaurant, with tables, chairs and benches, seating halls, people coming and going, drinking and eating meat, lively and extraordinary, and consumption is also ordinary. On the second floor, there is a private room with dedicated service, and the wine and dishes are gradually becoming more refined. The box opens the window, and the street flow of people is unobstructed. Of course, consumption is also slightly higher. Starting from the third floor, the box is larger, and the service staff are all pretty women, with sharp teeth, warblers and swallows, which is very interesting. To the fourth floor, there are only four private rooms, each box is individually designed with unique decoration, spring, summer, autumn and winter, plum orchid, bamboo chrysanthemum, each with its own characteristics, and the box is set up separately with a stove chef, while eating, cooking. The service staff is more beautiful and gentle, and can even play the piano and sing songs, and the entertainment flavor is varied. And to the fifth floor, which is the roof. The whole field is transparent, unobstructed, unobstructed, and only carved fences are set up around it. Standing on the top, looking at the railing, the scenery of the entire Baisha River, the panoramic view of Xiling, take in the bottom of the eye, make people feel wide chest and body, dazzling and intoxicated. In addition to enjoying the chef's on-site cooking characteristics, you can also have the most prestigious Fan Yue Lou Oiran in Xizi Town to accompany the wine and sing.
Since the third floor, consumption is bullish, a hundred taels of silver is the lowest, the higher the up, the higher the consumption, so the ordinary gentry can go up to the second floor of the elegant seat has been satisfied, three floors and above, must be a dignitary or dignitary to afford to consume. Of course, if you are shy in your pocket, but you have both cultural relics, you can also try the civil and military exam questions set up on each floor. Simply complete the exam questions and enjoy free food and wine.
However, since the opening of the restaurant, no one has ever entered the third floor, let alone the fourth and fifth floors, for completing the exam questions. The so-called literate lacks martial arts, and those who can write less literate, and the exam questions at each level must be broken in both civil and military to pass, and the degree of difficulty can be imagined. For a long time, those who can go up still rely on their money bags to speak, and there are also so-called talented people who come to admire them, but they all return in vain.
In the afternoon, as soon as the time arrived, the lights of the Donghai Restaurant were lit up as usual. In the restaurant, it has long been full of people and overcrowded, and the hall on the first floor has long been hard to find.
Four young men dressed in ordinary clothes but with extraordinary equipment had just stepped into the restaurant, looking at the bustling crowd, stunned, and with a wry smile on their faces.
