"Oh, it's okay, it's okay, the Yang family is not extinct", Zhao Xing breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and asked again: "That Gong's ...... I mean, where has Yang Zuren lived in the past few years, you said that he came to the capital to take the imperial examination, does he live in another place! ”

"Of course, Yang Longtu (Yang Jin) once served as a prisoner in Hedong, Jingxi, and Huainan, and saved some money to buy a cottage in Yangzhou. After Yang Longtu died, Gong lived in Yangzhou with his children, and raised them with the help of his aunt and uncle Zhang Jingru. ”

It turned out that the real Yang family Tianbo Mansion ...... No, the Yang family's mansion is in Yangzhou.

So, how will the Yang family come out? Could it be that the Tianbo Yang Mansion of the Great Song Dynasty was built by the Ming Dynasty? Could it be that the commentary "Yang Jiajiang" is an ancient fantasy, and the characters in it are all descended from Mars?

History is so humorous!

"Forget it, I'm just curious, don't bother Brother Meicheng", Zhao Xing said embarrassedly.

After knowing that Su Dongpo was going to stay in the palace tonight, the Zhou brothers got up to say goodbye after chatting a few more words. At this time, there was no male host in Su Shi's house, and Mrs. Wang did not keep him, the two were about to leave, but Qin Guan stopped each other and asked very affectionately: "Meicheng (Zhou Bangyan), Nanbo (Zhou Bangshi), what are your activities tonight?" ”

After receiving a negative answer, Qin Guan reflexively picked up a bunch of notebooks from the table and handed them to the two brothers who were at a loss: "Brother Meicheng (Zhou Bangyan) has lived in the capital for a long time. Help me see if there are any places worth visiting in these posts? ”

Zhou Bangyan took the name cards and compared them very seriously, and his attitude was no less cautious than the prudence shown by modern people when buying houses. Zhao Xing was confused, picked up a post discarded by Zhou Bangyan, and looked at it on the side.

This is a post where a student invited him to dinner, and the post has been crossed by Qin Guan with a pen. Seemingly. Zhou Bangyan's view is similar to his, but why is that? Is it because the inviter's official position is too small?

Zhao Xing curiously picked up a few posts in a row, all of which were crossed, and at this time, Zhou Bangyan was holding three posts and comparing them back and forth. There was a look of regret on his face, and it seemed that none of the three posts was very satisfying to him, so he had a hard time making a choice. Qin Guan was also contemplative, as if he was weighing the weight of the three posts.

There was a knock on the door, and Mrs. Wang appeared at the door with hot tea, she wanted to make sure about the arrangements of these people tonight. The sound of footsteps alarmed Qin Guan. He looked up and found that Zhao Xing was looking at the post he threw down, so he sighed and said, "Why is there no good place to go!" …… Brother Liren, I advise you not to look at those discarded things, if you are interested, why don't you help me make a staff officer These three posts, well, where should I go? ”

Zhao Xing was very curious, and he flipped through the place name post in Qin Guan's hand. Immediately disappointed: "Who are they?" Nobody, I thought you were bothered about something. It was invited by some unknown person. ”

As soon as Qin Guan saw it, he knew that Zhao Xing didn't understand the mystery here, he pouted at first, but seeing that Mrs. Wang looked very good at Zhao Xing, he took a big breath. Explained: "It seems that the virtuous brother rarely goes to play with the hook. So I don't know what the truth is here......"

Mrs. Wang scolded: "Hugh has to teach bad people!" ”

"It's okay, sooner or later, you have to know about these officialdom entertainment. Listen to me......"

Qin Guan is a prodigal son, and yesterday at the banquet, Huang Tingjian and Su Shi both criticized Qin Guan's abusive behavior. Qin Guan has written countless lyrics, and each word contains an anagram, and the riddle is the name of a singer. During the time when he wrote that song, Qin Guan did fall in love with the singer for a short time, and then, he turned around and wrote lyrics for other singers, so Qin Guan was known as "the second lucky man in the Qinglou" after Liu Yong.

When people read Qin Guan's poems, they all think that this prodigal son is very young, but in fact, Qin Guan is a child who does not grow up, he is now 3 years old, and he is still full of impulsiveness towards Goulanwasher. Perhaps, twenty years of grass life has made him accumulate too much "love", and once he succeeds, his indiscriminate love flourishes.

The old prodigal son Qin Guan was the most familiar with the matter of wandering around the Gou Lang banquet, and he patiently explained to Zhao Xing: "Scholars travel the world to study, and when they first arrive in a certain place, they are first invited to a banquet in what hotel, which means that you are accepted by someone.

You must know that officialdom is a daily thing, and the seats in the restaurant are limited, and it takes a long time to cook a table of dishes, so the restaurant receives so many guests every day......"

Qin Guan didn't need to say it, Zhao Xing already understood. He remembered that in modern times, sometimes he went to a restaurant with a booming business, and it took a long time to wait for the food, so in ancient times when there was no gas and no electrification, the time spent cooking a table of dishes can be imagined.

In ancient times, the reception capacity of hotels was limited, and over time, competition made them automatically move towards the routine of making reservations. There are more booked guests, the reception capacity of the restaurant is saturated, and other people come naturally "will not be accepted". As a result, each restaurant has its own regular customer base, and they have reserved a seat at a particular restaurant for many years in order to receive surprise guests.

This is the only way for hotels to compete, and perhaps it is also the reason for the origin of ancient clubs.

Because of the competition, the hotel is automatically divided into three, six, nine and so on, and it is clear what level of hotel entertains what type of guests. Because people don't treat guests every day, if you want to treat you temporarily, you can't book a hotel seat that suits your identity at all - this is why Su Shi has the behavior of booking a seat at home.

Then, the hotel guests also automatically chose the club-based social mode: do not charter a table at home, eat in the hotel, wait for others to schedule to invite you as a guest, I don't know what year and month, so, most of the time, people with the same identity will be fixed in a restaurant activities, they will tell each other: they haunt a hotel on a certain day, and then you go to the door to find a seat, at that time, although the friend and themselves are not at the same table of banquet, but still in the same restaurant, string each other, naturally meet.

This kind of temporary seat search is not uncommon. Some guest posts may not be able to invite guests to the door, and the vacant seats left by these occasional absences have become the object of everyone's camp, or they have also become the mobile seats for the host to temporarily solicit customers.

This kind of post is a social opportunity, and your choice is a sign of your future social status. Choose a "high society" haunted hotel. This type of person is the one you make friends with, otherwise, you wait for it.

The place where Qin Guan wants to go is a big store like Panlou and Yang Lou, and at least he has to go to a newly rising famous store like Hele Lou, so as to make friends with some high-ranking officials of the imperial court who are similar to Su Shi's identity. But there is not a single post of Pan Lou and Yang Lou in these posts, not even Hele Lou, how can it not make Qin Guan hesitate. ”

The ancients were troublesome when they spoke, and they could explain things clearly in a few sentences in modern language, Qin Guan explained for a long time, if it weren't for Zhao Xing's first-class comprehension ability. I didn't know what the other party was talking about for a long time.

Isn't this a modern club, the Song Dynasty, where restaurants have adopted a similar membership system? It's interesting.

After a little thought, Zhao Xing immediately figured it out: in ancient China, all restaurants naturally moved towards a membership system, because the level of productivity determined that they would inevitably be so. And in the TV series, you can eat as soon as you sit down, that's a flicker. I thought that the ancient restaurants were the same as the state-run restaurants after the joint venture of the company.

"Did you say it earlier", Zhao Xing was disdainful of Qin Guan's troubles: "Do you want to go to Panlou?" Yang Lou? Or is it Hele Building? Please! ”

Qin Guan's eyes widened. retorted with a little disdain: "Come on, judging from your performance just now, you haven't visited a restaurant at all, and you only arrived in Bianliang City yesterday, even if you didn't enter the city gate to make an appointment for a hotel." It's been about ten days later. I want to go to Pan Lou tonight, can you? ”

Mrs. Wang, who was still cleaning up the tea set, wanted to laugh when she heard it. Zhao Xing gave her frequent looks. Qin Guan didn't see the small movements here, so he said it very intensely. Zhao Xing waited for the other party to finish speaking, and asked slowly: "How about making a bet?" Whichever hotel you want to go to tonight, I'll take you straight in, and make sure you're a guest, not a guest. ”

Qin glanced at Mrs. Wang, who couldn't help laughing, and asked suspiciously, "Are you really coming to Bianliang for the first time?" Never been here before? ”

Mrs. Wang testified: "Of course, Liren is definitely the first time to come to Bianliang, he used to be in Huangzhou, and then went overseas for three years, but it was ......."

"Went overseas for three years?" As soon as Qin Guan heard this, he didn't wait for Mrs. Wang to finish speaking, he immediately preemptively said, "Bet." I bet on a piece of good Tang Mo, what are you betting on? ”

Zhao Xing shook his head: "Tang Mo, I'm not rare, how about gambling that you can afford, how about harmless things?" ”

"What's that?" Qin Guan asked confidently.

Zhao Xing smiled: "Just bet on the article, if you lose, help me write a few articles, that's all." ”

"Shiwen, this is too simple." Qin Guan felt that his eyes were full of golden flowers, could it be that the other party wanted to give him money, he asked with great interest: "What are you betting?" ”

Zhao Xing replied shamelessly: "I don't bet anything, because it must be me who wins, so I don't need to bet...... Of course, if you feel unbalanced, I'll pay for your hotel expenses! ”

Isn't that bullying? Qin looked at Mrs. Wang, seeking the support of the other party, but Mrs. Wang had already laughed, and she nodded frequently: "Shaoyou, you don't need to pay the bet when you leave people, and you don't even have a chance to turn the book - have you forgotten Huangzhou Shanzhen?" This thing is their family's property, and among the hotels in Bianliang City, Tokyo, which one doesn't order from his family? The hotel has no pine mushrooms, bamboo shoots, Linzhi, and game, where do you dare to continue to open.

You ask him, which hotel in Tokyo City doesn't owe him debts, don't say anything else, just say that Hele Building, if Dong Xiaoliang hadn't gotten seafood from him and learned to cook, he would have shouted to take over the restaurant from Lao Tzu. ”

Qin Guan was absolutely down.

Zhao Xing immediately hugged each other with a smile and whispered, "Senior brother, let's discuss the issue of bets now, come"

Mrs. Wang immediately interrupted Zhao Xing's words: "Don't, Uncle Liren, just now there was a sumo wrestler named Fluttering Eagle at the door, saying that he was looking for you, and I was still thinking: How did he find here?" Now it's been a long time to hang him, so let's go and send him away! ”

As soon as the name Fluttering Eagle came out, Jin Buer shouted "so daring", and ran out without waiting for Zhao Xing's command. Then he led a strong man into the living room.

This man's majesty is only relative. He is about 1.7 meters tall. In the eyes of ordinary people, it can be regarded as majestic, but when he walked up to Zhao Xing, he still only reached the tip of Zhao Xing's nose.

The attitude of the person who came was respectful, and as soon as Jin Fuji let go, he first glanced at Su Shi's study, and was slightly overwhelmed by the books in the house. Then he really poured, knelt on the ground and kowtowed respectfully: "The grass people flutter the sky eagle Li Ying has seen the big officials, and today the big officials took action to save the grass people's family from eating up and down, and the small ones are here to make a fool." ”

Soaring Eagle Li Ying?!

Zhao Xing shook his head. Almost knocked out by the name.

Could it be that this person also ended up on the Water Margin? However, seeing the other party's age in his thirties, do you think that he will go to Liangshan again in 20 years, and he will pounce on the sky?

Mrs. Wang had just said a few words and told them the news she had inquired about from Chaoyun, Qin Guan and Zhou Bangyan. So everyone didn't ask about the acquaintance between the Eagle and Zhao Xing, and Zhao Xing didn't want to reveal the other party's scars, after their simple conversation, Zhao Xing immediately turned the topic to their travel plan.

"Living in Tokyo for a long time, what is there to do in Bianliang City, and come one by one," Zhao Xing asked.

"Deserved, deserved". The sky-beating eagle Li Ying hurriedly humbled himself.

In ancient times, there were several types of honorific titles: the most noble title was "Your Majesty", which means that I dare not look at your face. Just dare to look at the steps under your feet. "Your Majesty" is followed by "Your Highness", then "Your Excellency".

"Foot" is a relatively equal honorific title, but Li Ying is just a juggler, and Zhao Xing calls him Foot, and he thinks he can't afford this kind of title. However. Zhao Xing didn't care. He raised his hand and motioned for the other to continue.

"When it comes to the night view of Bianliang City, I don't know where the officials want to go. If you want to buy something, then go to Mahang Street, if you want to see juggling, or go to Daxiangguo Temple; If you want to go to Goolan Washe, there are two good places, one is Yanglou Street, and the other is Dutingyi......"

Qin Guan was very anxious, he interrupted the other party's words and asked, "What are the characteristics of Tokyo?" ”

Li Ying understood the meaning of this line, and he hurriedly introduced: "If you talk about Bianliang City, Tokyo, the big officials have heard of the ten unique women of Bianliang - the legends: Aunt Shen's chess, Chen Yiniang's drum, Liao Xiaoxiao's singing, Song Xiaoniang's hundred tongues, Shi Huiying's teasing, daughter-in-law Xu's singing and earning, Xiao Jinlian's overlay, Wen Banniang's miscellaneous drama, Wang Shuanglian's palace tunes, plus the black mother's shadow play. The above people in the world, it is the wonder of Tokyo City, I don't know what the officials want to see, elegant or vulgar? ”

Liao Xiaoxiao was actually among them, and the ranking was very high, which made Zhao Xing a little stunned: "Then go to the place where Liao Xiaoxiao haunts - I think the place where she is active should be regarded as the Ya in your mouth, you tell us, where Liao Xiaoxiao's love appears, and the rest of the people ...... Where do you like to do the most? ”

Li Ying was still lying on the ground, he quickly kowtowed again, and replied: "The little one is free these days, and he can just accompany the big officials to hang out, and the little one will lead the way...... That's going to Yang Tower. ”

Li Yinggang was defeated in the ring, and he wanted to take a few days off to avoid the limelight, so he changed jobs to help for a few days, which happened to make his sumo ring a little cold and reduce the impression of others about his failure. So he recommended himself.

Zhao Xing replied lazily: "Okay, get up, everyone, pack your things and walk." ”

Xiao Feng and Xiao Qi immediately jumped out, they were carrying a backpack on their shoulders, if there were modern people, they would see that the backpack was shaped like a modern "military shoulder (bag)". This "military carry" was stuffed with a lot of stuff, Xiao Feng and Xiao Qi brothers each held a wooden staff in their hands, and they also handed Zhao Xing an extra red lacquered very smooth wooden staff, these wooden sticks were a little curved in shape, and the length was about the same size.

Zhao Xing took the wooden cane and shook it in his hand, but before he could say anything, Chen Gongchuan rushed out and shouted: "Such a good thing, why don't you have me?" ”

Zhao Xing shouted, and the group staggered into the leisure world of Bianliang City, Tokyo.

At that time, it was equivalent to the modern end of the day, and it was as if time had suddenly slowed down on the streets of Tokyo, and groups of citizens, holding gum and whistling, walked around and watched, carefully evaluated, and leisurely passed the time with nothing to do. There are endless wonders and tastes on the street.

Follow the bustling crowd to the door of Yang Lou, a street divides the street into two halves, across the street is the Goulan Tile House, the crowd shuttling among them is grinding shoulders and heels, three or five into a team of musicians, one or two girls dance, singing small words and Zhao Xing passed by, Zhao Xing looked at their team attentively, Li Ying saw it, and quickly explained: "Daguanren, this is called rushing, and it is also a scene of Bianliang City." ”

Isn't this the content of social drama often seen in the modern southern countryside, in the social opera street parade, the artists also often hold a high pole, a few years old children wearing Peking Opera costumes, playing the characters in Peking Opera, heavy makeup and colorful face painting, tossing on the pole...... Zhao Xing didn't know what modern society called this, he now knows that the Song Dynasty called this "catch up".

Seeing Zhao Xing's expression of appreciation, one of them immediately gathered around Zhao Xing, performing various actions to Zhao Xing, the music was melodious, reflecting the *** on the street, Zhao Xing, Qin Guan, Zhou Bangyan The four brothers were dressed in gorgeous clothes, except for Zhao Xing, the other three people are all beautiful teenagers of this era, this scene seems to be a realistic "ukiyo-e".

This is Tokyo Bianliang Castle in 1087, which is a city of light.
