Chapter 252: Wuyi Lane

Everyone walked to the south together, and after walking for about ten minutes, everyone saw a sparkling river.

"This is the Qinhuai River!" Na Zhe was full of emotion, he had never been to Nanjing in his previous life, but he had seen the content of describing the Qinhuai River in the book, saying that the two banks of the river were extremely prosperous and drunk in history.

Cui Daoshu carefully observed the scenery of the Qinhuai River under the rule of the Southern Tang Dynasty, he had been to Nanjing in his previous life, and he had also visited the Qinhuai River.

Spanning the time of the year before last and coming to this quaint and vicissitudes of life, Cui Daoshu was in a trance for a while.

On the Qinhuai River, a stone bridge spans both banks. Qi Jiuniang saw that Cui Daoshu was in a daze, so she pulled his sleeve and asked, "Childe, what's wrong with you?" Are you sick? ”

Cui Daoshu came back to his senses at this time, he smiled and said: "It's okay, I just thought of some things that happened in history, and I just felt a little emotional." ”

Together, they walked across the stone bridge and came to the entrance of a quiet alley.

It's quiet, and there's no one walking around in the alley.

Na Zhe walked into the alley and walked deeper into the alley.

Everyone followed, and the road was lined with tall plane trees, and the mottled walls were covered with moss, which looked very quaint and vicissitudes.

Cao Deshun walked to Na Zhe's side, "Brother Xian, you may not know that these mansions were built later, not the remnants of the Six Dynasties. ”

"Oh? Is there such a thing? Tell me about it. ”

"Four hundred years ago, the Sui destroyed Chen, the day the Jinling city was broken, and the palace of the Six Dynasties was burned down. The fire continued for several days.

In order to prevent the division of Jinling, Jinling was relegated to the status of a general prefecture and county. At this time, the Wang Xie Xian clan has long been desolate and desolate, and the Qinhuai River, which seems to be full of brilliance, has lost its former style.

The Sui Dynasty was very short and was soon destroyed by the Tang Dynasty. The wars continued for many years, so the monuments of the Six Dynasties, the prosperous past were destroyed to ashes, replaced by broken ruins and devastation. Gaofu Huadi in Wuyi Lane has long been gone, full of weeds, scorched earth and crows, only Huaishui is still there, and it is only a desolation.

That's why Liu Yuxi sighed that 'in the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people'.

Li Bai, the great poet of the Tang Dynasty, came here and also issued an exclamation of 'Wu Palace flowers and plants are buried in the path, and the Jin Dynasty is dressed as an ancient mound'. ”

Na Zhe said: "I see, when were these houses built? ”

Cao Deshun continued: "These mansions were built one after another after the founding of the Tang Kingdom, and Xu Xuan's house is not far in front. Shall we visit him? ”

Na Zhe shuddered: "It's better not to, otherwise he will leave us to eat, and he will pour wine into death again, I really can't stand it." Brother Cao, you can spare me today. ”

Cao Deshun laughed: "Okay, okay, if I don't force you, we won't go to Xu Xuan's mansion." I guess he's not at home now, so he should be in the yamen to handle official business at this time. ”

Na Zhe breathed a sigh of relief: "Brother Cao, you are too inauthentic, why are you scaring me if you have nothing to do?" Be careful when I return to Qishan Island and pack up your precious son. ”

Everyone walked around Wuyi Alley, and they were all a little excited. That's what happened here, with high walls blocking everyone's interest in finding out.

Qi Jiuniang proposed: "Childe, there's nothing to see here, let's continue shopping, there are still many things to buy." ”

Cui Daoshu looked at Na Zhe, and Na Zhe had no choice but to smile and say, "No problem, I will also make a big purchase and buy some gifts for Fang Juniang and his brothers." ”

So everyone walked to the entrance of the alley, Cao Deshun beckoned a steward, and then ordered: "Cao Zhen, you can go to the neighborhood now to inquire and see if there are any houses for sale here." We needed a large yard and the price was not a problem. If there is a suitable yard, you can report it to me immediately, and we will come and check it out immediately. You have to be quick and don't lose time. ”

The steward agreed, and hurried away.

Everyone talked and laughed all the way, and when they got out of Wuyi Lane, the guards of Caofu led everyone towards the bustling and lively neighborhood.

Everyone started shopping again, buying a lot of things along the way. The Cao family's guards had no choice but to hire a carriage to transport the fruits of everyone's purchase.

Soon noon arrived, and the hot sun shone on his body, and Na Zhe couldn't walk anymore. But when he saw Qi Jiuniang pulling Cui Daoshu to look around with great interest, he was embarrassed to say that he wouldn't go shopping.

Cao Deshun was very understanding, he saw that Zhe's weak appearance, so he said to Cui Daoshu: "Brother Xian, I really can't walk, you continue to walk, and I will go to the teahouse in front of me to rest for a while." ”

Then he dragged Na Zhe into the teahouse next to him, and Pang Xu and several guards of the Cao family followed. Zhai Xiaoshan and others continued to accompany Cui Daoshu and Qi Jiuniang to go shopping.

The two of them, led by their buddies, went up to the second floor and entered a private room. Pang Xu and the others sat outside, ordered some refreshments, and ate and drank.

Cao Deshun and Na Zhe also drank a breath of tea, and finally recovered.

Na Zhe asked, "Brother Cao, what do we need to pay attention to when we enter the palace tomorrow?" ”

Cao Deshun explained: "There is nothing to pay attention to, that is, you can't talk loudly casually, you can't move around at will. Li Yu is a literary person, he is very important to the literati, as long as you show outstanding literary talent, there is no problem. ”

Na Zhe nodded: "That's no problem, Lao Tzu plays a song for him, and then writes a tune." With Lao Tzu's new font, he will definitely conquer Li Yu. ”

Cao Deshun said with a smile: "Brother Xian is talented, of course there is no problem." It's just that you can't call yourself Lao Tzu, otherwise you'll be in trouble. ”

The two chatted casually, and soon more than an hour passed.

At this time, a guard came to report, "Two, Cui Gongzi asked me to invite you to a restaurant in front of me, saying that I want to invite everyone to dinner." ”

So everyone went out of the teahouse after settling the bill together, walked for a while, and came to the door of a restaurant.

Cao Deshun took a look, and then said with a smile: "Yan Lailou!" This is your own industry, let's eat and drink as much as you want, and you don't need Cui Xiandi to break the bank today. ”

"Hey, Cui Daoshu is really lucky! Even choosing a place to eat hit Brother Cao's gun. ”

Cao Deshun asked a little puzzled: "What does it mean to hit the muzzle?" ”

Na Zhe had no choice but to say: "It's just that I just caught up, brother, this restaurant is opened by your family?" ”

"One of my nephews opened it, and I invested some money, thinking at the time that I should help him. But this kid is very capable, he made the restaurant very prosperous, the business is very good, and I also made some money. ”

So everyone entered the restaurant, and when the guy saw Cao Deshun coming in, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "Master Cao, why are you here?" I'm going to inform the owner. ”

Cao Deshun nodded: "Go and find that kid, I'm going to treat you today." ”

The guy ran away and soon returned with a round-faced young man.

The young man smiled all over his face, and his hands did not leave the square inch, "Uncle, you are always coming to eat, why don't you notify us in advance, we are so carefully prepared?" ”

Cao Deshun said with a smile: "We also went shopping at random, and then my friend chose you here, and I only knew." You come upstairs with me, and I'll introduce you to your guests. ”

The young man courteously invited Cao Deshun to the second floor, and Cao Deshun entered a private room under the guidance of the guards.

Inside the house, Cui Daoshu and Qi Jiuniang were drinking tea and chatting, and when they saw Cao Deshun and Na Zhe coming in, Cui Daoshu hurriedly got up and gave up his seat.

"Two, Qi Jiuniang said that the dishes here are very distinctive, let's eat here today."

Cao Deshun said with a smile: "Brother Cui Xian, let me introduce you, this is the owner of the restaurant, and also my nephew, named Cao Yongren." ”

Cui Daoshu nodded slightly: "Hello, I'm Cui Daoshu from Mingzhou." ”

The young man respectfully saluted Cui Dao, and Cao Deshun said to him again: "Eldest nephew, this is my partner, the head of the Cui family in Mingzhou." The snow salt sold in Jinling City now is produced by his family. There's also Cui's liquor 'Wuliangye', if you want to get some, it's up to him, hahaha! ”

The young man was very shocked, and he said expectantly: "Master Cui, I have been trying to get some 'Wuliangye' from your house to sell, but no matter how high the price is, I can't get it!" I take the liberty of asking, can you get me some? ”

Cui Daoshu smiled: "Brother Cao has spoken, of course it's not a problem. I'll write you a note in a while, and tomorrow you go to the shop that sells snow salt and find the steward Cui Hong. With the note, I will first mention the Ten Altar Lie Bar. In the future, how much you need every month, just say hello to Cui Hong in advance, there should be no problem. ”

Cao Yongren was overjoyed: "Thank you Cui family master, today I want to treat you to a good meal and serve our best dishes." ”

Immediately he wanted to make arrangements, but Cao Deshun grabbed him, "Don't worry, there is another distinguished guest." He pointed to Na Zhe and said:

"This is Mr. Nazhe, who is now famous in Jinling, you should have heard of it, right?"

The young man's eyes were full of stars, and he bowed to the ground excitedly, "That sir, you are a famous person in Jinling!" Today I am fortunate to be able to witness your dignity, I must cook you some good food, and then toast you with a few glasses of wine. ”

Na Zhe shook his head helplessly: "The wine is free, Xiao Cao, if I drink again today, I must drink to death!" If you have any light dishes, serve them on two plates. ”

Cao Yongren said excitedly: "Wait a minute, I'll arrange it." ”

Cao Deshun grabbed him: "Don't be frizzy, there are still distinguished guests." He pointed to Qi Jiuniang, "This lady is the famous 'Jinling No. 1 Singer', Qi Jiuniang." Now she is Cui Xiandi's house. ”

Qi Jiuniang said ten thousand blessings to Cao Yongren, and Cao Yongren hurriedly returned the salute, and even said, "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." ”
