Chapter 339: Heaven and Earth
Commissioner Guo Ziren looked at Wen Tianxiang's Liuqiu Island-style dress and felt very comfortable, so he said, "You are Wen Tianxiang, right?" I'm Guo Ziren, I'm here to play here with you on the order of my Zhang Island Master------ my Island Master is busy with a big thing! ”
Wen Tianxiang was also very happy to see Guo Ziren, most of the people who saw Officer Chen and the customs were too young, most of them were seventeen or eighteen years old, which made him feel uncomfortable.
The person who claimed to be Guo Ziren was old, looking like he was in his thirties, with a smile on his face.
That night, Commissioner Guo Ziren took him to Jingdong Restaurant for dinner.
Commissioner Guo Ziren called a private room, and also called a few big Song singers to play and sing to help with the wine.
Both of them liked this tune, and they talked happily for a while.
During the banquet, Commissioner Guo Ziren handed him a small white stick, and first signaled that he would light it with a match, and after taking a puff, he spit out a puff of smoke.
He took it and looked at it, and it turned out to be shredded tobacco rolled in white paper.
Wen Tianxiang smoked cigarettes, but he smoked them with a pipe------ he didn't feel addicted after smoking a few times at that time.
Commissioner Guo Ziren saw that it was inconvenient for Wen Tianxiang to smoke with a long beard, so he said: "You shave the long beard, my island owner has never kept it so long------- how inconvenient it is!" ”
Wen Tianxiang was shocked, he had to give it to his parents, how could he shave it off at will?!
However, when he saw that Guo Ziren did not have a beard, and when he heard that the owner of Zhang did not have a beard, he thought that it might be that the owner of Zhang did not like long beards.
He could only follow the local customs, he smiled and said, "What's so difficult about this? Wait until you find a barber and shave! ”
When the two drank Wei Xun, Commissioner Guo Ziren took Wen Tianxiang to the place he thought was the most fun.
When the two came out, it was already dark, and the gas street lamps on both sides of the street were already on.
It's one of the longest and straightest streets in Badaohe City, with two rows of streetlights stretching for ten kilometers away!
On both sides of the street are mostly two-story shops, and the shops are lit with kerosene gas lamps, so you can clearly see the various goods inside.
This seems to be the happiest time in Badaohe City, this concrete street is lined with countless pedestrians------ but no one seems to be walking in the middle of the street.
Commissioner Kwok pointed to the white lines on the street and said, "That's a motorized lane, pedestrians are not allowed to step into it, unless they can take the zebra crossing at the intersection------
Zebra crossing? Wen Tianxiang couldn't help but didn't ask what a zebra was------- he didn't understand until a few years later, when he saw a zebra with his own eyes.
Commissioner Guo Ziren called a four-wheeled carriage and offered to go to heaven and earth.
The driver smiled knowingly, and when the two men had got into the carriage, he waved his whip and drove away.
Heaven and earth are the favorite places for men to go, and those who go there will generally pay more for the fare.
At this time, the spring breeze was charming, and he followed Guo Ziren's example, pushed open the Liuqiu glass window, and looked out.
Wen Tianxiang saw that there were many pedestrians here, and praised in his heart that this is a city that never sleeps, a city of light!
Soon, he was attracted by the four-wheeled carriages on the streets, and he even saw white people and Hui people sitting in them.
The Great Song Dynasty is now short of war horses, and here it is only used to pull people shopping?!
He was thinking about how to requisition the horses when he heard a whistle and the four-wheeled carriage stopped.
He looked over and saw a patrolman waving a red flag at them and then a green flag at another intersection.
He saw that all the carriages on his road had stopped, and the carriage at another junction had begun to drive.
Hehe, this is a good solution, it will not cause confusion.
At this time, Commissioner Guo Ziren suddenly shouted: "Lao Wen, Lao Wen, come and see here!" ”
Old text?! What is this called??!
However, he didn't show dissatisfaction, leaned over, and looked in the direction pointed by Guo Ziren.
As a result, I only saw pedestrians, and nothing special happened.
Guo Ziren whispered: "Look at those Goryeo beauties! ”
Wen Tianxiang saw a few tall Goryeo maids at this time, and they were talking and laughing while walking, and ------they couldn't see it clearly, but the clothes were obviously different from the women of the Great Song Dynasty.
Guo Ziren said with a smile: "The owner of my family, Zhang Island, said that where there is more prosperity, there are more beautiful women in that place!"
How do you think this is better than Lin'an City?! ”
Young man, don't lose your mind with playthings------ Wen Tianxiang sighed in his heart, but when he was young, it wasn't the same.
Wen Tianxiang smiled: "In addition to the lack of population, there is no shortage in other places!" ”
This is true, Lin'an City is a big city with a population of one million.
After a while, the four-wheeled carriage arrived at the place.
Commissioner Guo Ziren casually gave 500 yuan in money, and the extra money was considered a tip.
The driver smiled when he received the money, and drove the car aside, expecting the next one to call a car.
Wen Tianxiang saw a brightly lit garden-style three-storey Liuqiu-style building, and saw that there were four gilded characters hanging in heaven and earth at the door, and several neatly dressed servants stood there to greet guests.
A little guy was sharp-eyed, and he saw them at once. I saw him running over and shouting: "Commissioner Guo, I haven't seen you for many days, I really miss your old man!" ”
Commissioner Guo Ziren scolded with a smile: "Go!" I haven't been here for three days------ you're thinking about my tip, right?! ”
"How can it, Commissioner Guo, please come in, we have new goods here!"
"Hah! Your boss Jia has made a fortune, and if there is a new product, don't tell me first! ”
"How can it be, my boss Jia has gone to Guangzhou City------ I heard that I am going to open another one there!"
While laughing, the two of them were ushered inside.
As they walked through the garden, Wen Tianxiang saw a few spring plums blooming in full bloom------ this place was good.
After entering the inside, Wen Tianxiang found that it was actually a bathing place!
Commissioner Guo Ziren said: "Let's wash the bubbles first------ the second and third floors are the fun places." ”
Under the service of the little maid, the two took off their clothes, put them in the camphor wood cabinet, and went inside naked.
As mentioned earlier, the Great Song Dynasty people are a people who love bathing------ there are many public bathing places, and it was not until the Tatar robbers came that they broke off this hobby.
However, Wen Tianxiang had never seen such a luxurious bathing place.
The public bathing place of the Great Song Dynasty is nothing more than dozens of wooden barrels, and here is a large pool made of green marble, which is steaming, and there are already more than a dozen people bathing there.
On some of the surrounding red marble countertops, there are some gilded water dragons------ which are far more upscale than their own residences.
Commissioner Guo Ziren said: "This is a place for ordinary people to take a bath, let's go inside." ”
After they passed through a small door again, Wen Tianxiang realized that there was a cave inside.
