Chapter 63 On the Fan Tower in Tokyo

After staying in Lu Mansion for three days, Lu Junyi hospitalized Wang Lun, Wang Xin and others, and Xu Guanzhong occasionally talked to Wang Lun about astronomy and geography, praising and deprecating ancient and modern figures. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info met a master of guns and sticks, Wang Xin often asked Lu Junyi for advice, and occasionally learned martial arts with Yan Qing, and his experience in dealing with the enemy became more and more mature.

Lin Chong's big day was getting closer and closer, and Lu Junyi was afraid that the road would be delayed for too long, so everyone set off early. Lu Junyi thought that Lin Chong's junior brother was the head of the forbidden army's gun and stick sect, and wanted to give away a war horse and a spear. In the end, Wang Lun was dissuaded, and the weapon was not suitable as a congratulatory gift. Lu Junyi had no choice but to give up, and Li Gu, the steward of the Lu Mansion, was flexible, and helped Lu Junyi prepare a white mink skin, two brocade robes, an inkstone, and two pearls. In addition, there is a set of four seasons of regular clothes for Zhou Dong, and a two-inch six-jade longevity Buddha.

This time, Lu Junyi saw that Li Gu was doing things well, so he didn't pursue his neglect of Wang Lun. Leaving Li Gu to take care of the family's business, he took Yan Qing to Tokyo. Originally, Wang Lun wanted to say to Lu Junyi that Li Gu was unreliable, but seeing that Lu Junyi took a fancy to this person, he was afraid that Lu Junyi would misunderstand him and hold a grudge, so he didn't say much.

The Daimyo Mansion is more than 800 miles away from Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo, and the group went to the Yellow River ferry port to take a boat, and went straight to Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo through Puyang and Huazhou. After stopping on the road for two days, and walking against the water for more than ten days, on this day the group finally arrived at the Yicun ferry port on the south bank of the Yellow River in the north of Kaifeng Prefecture.

Yicun is only an hour's journey from the city of Tokyo, and the people are tired and disheveled after days of traveling. So Wang Lun proposed to rest for an hour at the Yicun ferry, wash away the dust and then go to Tokyo.

Lu Junyi also felt that this should be the case, so the group had lunch in Yicun and rested for a while before setting off.

The mountains and rivers of Kaifeng Mansion are victorious, and it is a key point of water and land, with a history of more than 2,000 years. With a circumference of more than 30 kilometers and a population of more than 1.5 million, Tokyo is a majestic and large-scale city consisting of three castles: the outer city, the inner city, and the imperial city.

Legend has it that more than 2,000 years ago, the Zhou Dynasty built a city here. The name of "Kaifeng" began in the Spring and Autumn Period, and was named after Zheng Zhuang Gong to take the meaning of "opening up the frontier". During the Warring States period, King Wei Hui moved the capital here and named it "Daliang". Then it was abandoned for a time, until five generations later, Zhu Wen, the Taizu of Liang Liang, built the capital of Kaifeng and changed its name to "Eastern Capital". The Later Han Dynasty, the Later Zhou Dynasty, and the Northern Song Dynasty were all called "Tokyo Kaifeng Mansion". After Jin destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, Tokyo was changed to "Bianjing", which gave rise to the famous poem "Straight Hangzhou as Bianzhou".

Turning around the New Song Dynasty Gate and coming to the city, Wang Lun saw that people came and went, each with their own clothes. Tea shops and wine shops, street vendors abound.

Because of the large number of people, they were afraid that Lin Chong would not be able to arrange it, so everyone first found an inn and arranged a place to stay. Then Lu Junyi sent Yan Qing to Lin Mansion to deliver the post, agreeing that he was going to visit his master and junior brother.

The inn was not far from the Lin Mansion, and after a quarter of an hour, Yan Qing returned. Xiang Lu Junyi replied: "The head of the Lin sect has never seen Master Zhou and the head of the Lin sect, there is only an old man who takes care of the house. It is explained that the head of the Lin sect is not resting, but Master Zhou can visit at home. ”

At this time, it was already afternoon, and it was not appropriate to go to Lin Mansion in the evening. Lu Junyi thought for a while and said to Wang Lun: "Then I can only visit Senior Brother Lin's house tomorrow!" ”

Wang Lun had nothing to do, and nodded in response. Seeing that everyone was fine, Wang Lun thought of the scenery and scenic spots in Tokyo and said: "Tokyo has eight major scenery such as the spring waves of the big river, the autumn rain of the blowing platform, and the morning bell of Kaibao, as well as famous places such as Fan Tower, Daxiangguo Temple, and Dongyue Temple, so we might as well go out for a walk." ”

As soon as he heard that he was going to go out to play, the little Lingguan child was excited, and Wang Xin on the side was also eager to try. In Tokyo City, Lu Junyi didn't come for the first time, but seeing that Wang Lun and others were in high spirits, he agreed.

Fan Lou is the first of the 72 restaurants in Tokyo in the Northern Song Dynasty, and it is a must-go for Wang Lun and others.

Fan Lou is located at the north end of the Royal Street, the building is also the northern style, gray tiles and blue bricks, carved beams and painted buildings, simple and elegant. There are only two floors of the restaurant next to it, while the Fan building is three stories high, and the fifth floor is facing each other, each with a flying bridge to communicate, gorgeous and magnificent. It is said that there are more than 1,000 daily customers.

When Lu Junyi and others arrived at Fanlou, it was already evening, and they saw the railing of the flying bridge in Fanlou, which was connected with light and dark, embroidered curtains on the forehead, and lights and candles were shining. There are no less than hundreds of singers and dancers in the two corridors of the patio on the outer floor, gathering on the eaves, waiting for the call of the drinkers, looking at it like a fairy.

Don't say that Wang Xin and Xiao Lingguan were surprised, even Wang Lun was a little stunned. Wang Lun couldn't help but wonder if this was the earliest version of "City Will Play".

When I arrived at the door of Fan Lou, a bartender had already greeted me. "A few dignitaries came just in time, and there is a wonderful program tonight!"

Enthusiastically introduced Wang Lun, Lu Junyi and others into the restaurant, and the bartender asked with a smile: "How many guest officers want to go to the small pavilion to play?"

The small pavilion is where the singer stays, Lu Junyi has long known it, and Wang Lun also guessed it when he saw the bartender's appearance.

Wang Lun's face turned straight and said, "Don't talk nonsense!" It's just downstairs. ”

A few people found a seat and sat down, Yan Qing and Lu Junyi had come to Fan Lou and knew the characteristics of Fan Lou, so they instructed the bartender and said: "Pig and sheep purse, roast dried pork, jade plate and piggy, flower shy chestnut, and dried papaya will each have a copy first." ”

Yan Qing was generous and handed the bartender ten taels of silver directly. Seeing that Yan Qing was bold, the bartender did everything he could to entertain Wang Lun and others. "What kind of wine do you drink?" Fanlou's self-produced liquor, there are two kinds of Meishou and Zhi, "Meishou" represents health and longevity, and "Hezhi" is mellow and luscious.

A group of six people can drink except for the little spirit official, so they ordered a pound of "and purpose" and a pound of flower carving.

After a while, the food and wine were ready, and there were also singers and dancers downstairs to help the fun. They were gorgeously dressed, bright and moving, either chanting and singing, or dancing. There are those who are bold, and they also surround the customers and make them linger.

There are also a few tables of guests next to Wang Lun and others, and their costumes are also high-ranking officials and nobles.

One of them saw his companion looking at the dancing girls intently, and said mysteriously: "Brother, don't you have a heart of admiration, brother can help you find a few!" ”

Without waiting for the man to reply, the other said, "What is there to see these vulgar fans? I heard that Grandma Li will bring her righteous daughter over in a while, and that Nizi is the best in the world. Ha ha! The man couldn't help but laugh when he said something proud.

Wang Lun could hear it clearly, and he frowned for fear of bringing the little spirit official and Wang Xin to it.

At this moment, a rich boy came in from outside the door, wearing a purple and gold crown, a blue brocade robe, a jade belt around his waist, and a gold-painted folding fan in his hand. There are family members and bartenders around him, and his face is full of stuttering.

This person came to the hall of Fan Lou, swept his eyes, and said angrily: "Where is Boss Fan? Come out for me, why didn't you see the teacher? ”

Seeing that the man lost his temper, the bartender made a series of rebukes, so that he could take the man upstairs to the private room.

As soon as the man left, there was a buzz downstairs. Buzzed the people on the table next to him, and some recognized this person, and said, "I didn't expect this Tianwang Laozi to also come!" ”

When others saw him call that man by his nickname, they all spoke out to discourage him. "Don't make a sound, this Cai Wulang is the most domineering! Annoyed him, but it's a bad thing! ”
