Li Meng was in the car observing the roads on both sides and the buildings with signs, and secretly wrote down that this was also a perfect preparation for going to a strange place.

The shopkeeper Zheng thought that Li Meng was looking elsewhere, remembering that Li Meng looked at the city wall yesterday, and couldn't help but smile and said:

"That's the inner city, the six departments of Nanjing and the various yamen are over there, and there is the imperial city further in, where the grandfather lived back then, it is said that it is already dilapidated and unpresentable, and even the eunuchs don't live there."

Li Meng only then noticed that there was still a city in the city, but this city wall was much lower than the tall and majestic city wall he saw yesterday.

"This is the mansion of the prince of so-and-so, and it is the marquis of so-and-so"

This shopkeeper Zheng is really familiar with this place, but when passing by the mansions of these Ming nobles, he usually takes a detour and points a few times from afar.

I heard the other party say, "It's not far from the banknote street." Li Meng couldn't help but lift the curtain of the carriage and hang it aside, but when he opened it, he immediately gasped.

It's not that there is any danger ahead, but that this encounter is so unusual that it is no wonder that the carriage is starting to slow down and the sound is becoming noisy.

The banknote street is too lively, and there are cars and horses coming and going, and the cars and horses here. There is almost no old style to be seen, and they are all very elaborately decorated. Wheels, carriages, horses and saddle bridles can be seen, all identities are either rich or expensive, on horses, people walking on the road are wearing brocade robes, long shirts, to put it bluntly, this is not the dress of the poor people, according to Li Meng's experience, even some small landlords in Jiaozhou may not have such clothes.

Watch everyone relax and be content. When walking in the direction of the so-called banknote street, Li Meng inexplicably remembered the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty, according to the history books, and some petty bourgeois gossip magazines, which was the most prosperous and famous era in ancient China.

"Shopkeeper Zheng, what is this banknote street going for, why is it so lively?"

Li Meng was really puzzled. couldn't help but ask, but before the other party could say the answer, he guessed it, because he was very impressed by the smile on the face of the shopkeeper Zheng, and he had seen a similar smile in Jiaozhou that day, and it was about Qin Huai***.

"My uncle thinks that if you want to entertain Lord Li, going to those ordinary places is really insulting your identity, and the most decent place in Nanjing City is here."

If it weren't for the polite words of the shopkeeper Zheng, Li Meng would even think that he was talking back, such a place to advocate excellence. It's still the most decent place, isn't it scolding.

However, it was also a reaction immediately, in modern times, although I have never been in contact with it, but I have also heard that rich and noble people often talk about business at the wine table and the night club, finalize decisions and so on. Presumably this kind of thing is also the same in ancient and modern times, so I didn't say anything at the moment, nodded and smiled.

The houses on the streets of Nanjing are also the same style, with white walls and blue bricks. Although it is antique to Li Meng, along the way, there is also a feeling of strolling in the concrete jungle of a modern city - boring and boring, and entering this banknote street is completely different.

This area passes through the open space between the houses. You can already see the winding Qinhuai River. There are also boats floating on the river, and the houses on the roadside have different styles. Although some are in the downtown but show a bit of elegance, it is already the beginning of November, but the door is still shaded by green trees, and the shadows are full of shadows to see the pavilions and water pavilions inside. There are also magnificent, full of luxury, even if it is the pro-noble mansion that has just passed, it is not inferior, it seems that things like overstepping the system are not talked about here.

Li Meng has also passed by similar places in modern times, and has also seen it in film and television dramas, the girls with heavy makeup on both sides of the road are holding handkerchiefs there, and pulling people into the yard with a smile on their faces, but on this street, you can't see this kind of scene, if it wasn't for the shopkeeper Zheng pointed it out in advance, I really think this is just a lively street? But why, Li Meng didn't bother to ask, how to move the defense to Huguang, this is the focus of today's discussion.

After the carriage of the shopkeeper Zheng entered the banknote street, it turned around, that is, it was less than a stick of incense, and came to a relatively quiet place.

On the way, Li Meng sat at the door of the carriage and looked at the surrounding environment, and the leaders of the guards who were photographed by himself pretended to be idle guests to give him a code, it seems that the surroundings of this eyebrow tower have been wrapped up according to Li Meng's arrangement, but the shopkeeper Zheng looked at both sides of the road with great interest, and saw that the shopkeeper Zheng and the people who led the way had similar expressions, Li Meng secretly thought to himself, could it be that he thought a little too much.

But my personal feeling is that I am not afraid of 10,000, but I am afraid of what happens, and it is always good to do it in advance.

When the carriage entered the area, there were a few cleanly dressed men and aunts, who were there smiling and explaining to some people:

"I'm really sorry, I'm sorry that Meilou is being wrapped up today, how about you come back tomorrow, I'm sorry."

There were also some guests who were very frustrated and complained there, Li Meng shook his head, thinking that this place is really hot.

Outside has already been greeted, when Li Meng stepped out of the carriage, there were immediately a few little maids came to greet him, Li Meng was wearing a short dress, although the material of the clothes was also good, but the length of the shirt was only up to the knees, although it was also a brocade robe and leather boots, there was no poor atmosphere on the mixed body.

But the clothes of the rich and noble people are at least long robes and long shirts, Li Meng's dress is at best a rich martial artist or something, of course, this deeper meaning is that the guests who come to Meilou on weekdays are all dressed in long shirts, and there is no such lowly status as Li Meng.

Yesterday, Zheng Sha suddenly wanted to change the location of the meeting, which made Li Meng suspicious, originally he also knew that on this occasion, both parties were wearing long shirts and robes to look more formal, just like when going to the interview in modern times, even if they apply for a job that makes a lot of effort, they have to wear a suit.

This is also the clothing etiquette of this era, but for safety, some things are still taken into account, Li Meng's short robe is filled with a short gun and a dagger, wearing such a costume is just enough to cover it, and in an emergency, it is also convenient to run.

The maids who came to greet Meilou seemed to be well-trained, that is, they were slightly surprised in their eyes, and they said with a smile:

"Please sir go inside."

It's been several years since I came to this era, and it's the first time Li Meng has been called Mr. by others, and this title is used to call those who read. I thought it was very interesting, and smiled at the maids, these girls were all thirteen or fourteen years old, and Li Meng was worried that these maids would come over and pull very enthusiastically, and how should he deal with it. However, his worries are obviously redundant, these maids are very measured, which makes Li Meng feel very comfortable.

Look at Zheng Shark in the distance, and I saw several leaders of the Zheng family yesterday wearing long robes, standing in front of the door of Meilou in a similar manner, waiting there.

Li Meng looked at the clothes on his body, and couldn't help but smile dumbly, and the shopkeeper Zheng on the side stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation with a smile. The environment of this Meilou is indeed beautiful, and today is also a high-level business meeting in Daming, there are many rules, Li Meng feels quite confused, for example, Zheng Shark said a few polite words at the door, and never mentioned it again, but asked Li Meng to go forward, saying that the wine and food had already been prepared.

Poor Li Meng has never seen any high-level scenes in modern times, and in the Ming Dynasty, he has been leading troops to train soldiers, and he has been holding back in a small place. The next thing to do is to remind yourself not to show your timidity, to be honest. It's an awkward feeling.

Walking so quietly, there is also a benefit for Li Meng, you can carefully look at the scenery on both sides, although the Meilou is a building, it is actually a courtyard of considerable scale, the rockeries in the yard, flowers and trees are arranged very ingeniously, even if it is the early winter world, it is pleasing to the eye to look at, and it makes people very comfortable.

Really walked into the building, Li Meng didn't think it was better than the outside, because the ornaments inside were too complicated, although it could be seen that the people who arranged it had spent a lot of effort, maybe this kind of decoration was a very good style in ancient times, and for Li Meng in modern times, it was a little deliberately carved.

Zheng Sha's face was polite, and he was quite proud in his heart, he felt that what he had done was to aggravate the Zheng family's attitude towards the other party by ten points, and the older people believed in their instincts, Shandong's salt business and those places were indeed coveted, but the old pirate felt that befriending Li Meng might have greater benefits in the future.

It's a pity that his kindness was completely empty, and Li Meng at this time only felt restrained everywhere, which was very awkward.

The place where they drank was a cubicle, and after they sat down, the maids who had been prepared for a long time began to serve appetizers and fruits, Li Meng was just about to talk about things, but several Zheng family members seated now, regardless of age or age, all looked a little awkward, and Li Meng was stunned before he reacted.

These Zheng family members are all acting like vice Sven at this time, these people may have been the big boss of the sea breeze a few months ago, but now they are making this kind of pretentious appearance here, it is really as awkward as it is. sharp
