Chapter 65: Alum Tower
Chapter 65 Alum Building
The floor of the alum building is not as high as the store, because the original purpose of the alum building was not for the main store, but for the sale of alum, so it is called the alum building. Until the wealthy businessman Alum bought it with a lot of money and transformed it into a hotel.
Probably for this reason, the temporarily renovated alum building has many shortcomings on the foundation, such as the floor is only three stories high. However, the alum building, which can overpower Ren Store and become the first main store in Bianliang City, naturally has a brilliant place.
The three high-rise buildings stand in the shape of a product and are built on the rammed small high ground, so that although the alum building is not high, the first floor is equivalent to the second and third floors of other stores. Three high-rise buildings with expensive blue brick walls, glazed tiles to cover the roof, the gate of the two Jiangsu and Zhejiang flower stones carved into the Pixiu lifelike, just this carving is afraid that there will be no less than a hundred, but also be carried thousands of miles from the land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang to transport the flower stone.
Between the three towers, each floor is connected by a flybridge corridor. The railing of the flybridge is hung with bright cloth flowers cut in silk, and the splendor, which warms this cold winter.
It's like this on the outside, and it's even more raptured inside. Many officials who have entered the palace claim that the magnificence inside is no worse than every palace where the emperor has lived, and even surpasses it.
Today's alum building is even more lively, originally just a small poetry meeting, organized by the eldest granddaughter of Qian Weizhi, the king of Pengcheng County. In order to let a group of girlfriends have a place to meet friends, but I don't know why this matter went out. As a result, many self-proclaimed scholars came one after another.
The most important thing is that the eldest granddaughter of Qian Weizhi, who has been enshrined as the lord of Dangyang County, although she is already a woman, she has been whimpering and mourning for two consecutive husbands. Probably because of the blow, the eldest granddaughter's surname is bold and beautiful, and many scholars hope to have a kiss and get both people and money!
It must be known that this Qian family was originally a member of the Wuyue royal family in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and it was also a famous younger brother in the Song Dynasty. Without a single soldier resisting, they surrendered to the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty was also quite generous to the Qian family, not to mention a large amount of gold and silver treasures, and the huge wealth accumulated by the Qian family for several generations was not confiscated. This Qian family, as his surname suggests, is not ordinary rich.
According to folk rumors, this county lord has a net worth of more than 8 million! It is equivalent to more than a year's tax in the current Song Dynasty, even if this is a rumor, the discount is very strong, and it can be seen how rich the family wealth of the lord of Dangyang County is.
You may not have the courage to marry, but there are many people who want to be lovers, safe and wealthy.
In order to please the beauties, this poetry meeting was originally held at two o'clock in the evening (about half past seven in the evening), but when it arrived at five o'clock in the afternoon, there were already a lot of carriages and horses to attend the meeting. At four o'clock, the carriage came like a water dragon, and the carriage and horses were connected and the horses neighed.
From these cars, you can immediately see the influence of the county lord, not only those self-proclaimed scholars, but also many noble children. One by one, the freshly dressed and angry horses, with dozens of entourage, waited for a carriage inlaid with gold and silver to be parked in the parking lot of the alum building, and the number was as large as the Chinese cabbage sold at the entrance of the vegetable market.
The guards and servants were even more numerous, and there were thousands of them just left to wait outside.
At this time in the Northern Song Dynasty, there was no Cheng Zhu Lixue, and Zhu Xi was said, even Zhu Xi's ancestor Ercheng had just been born!
At this time, the folk customs were quite open, and the noble girls in the boudoir did not have the slightest meaning of not being seen. Everyone is dressed in a variety of charming and colorful costumes, competing to attract attention. Walking on the red cloth leading to the gate of the alum tower, or like a proud peacock, walk into the alum tower with a high chest.
There are also delicate people, with a shy face, like the sister next door, and a group of girlfriends shyly walked into the alum building.
There are also pretending to be indifferent and arrogant, like iceberg beauties, slowly advancing.
In addition to these noble girls in the boudoir, their relatives such as brothers, cousins, and cousins are not to be outdone, under the banner of protecting their younger sisters (sisters). Seeing such a scene now, it caused a kind of noble son to shout in his heart, and at the same time, his face was flushed, and his breathing couldn't help but become short.
Of course, when so many young and frivolous noble children are together, it is inevitable that some skirmishes will break out. However, these noble children all claim to be nobles, that is, they just use their mouths, but they also know the sense of proportion, and they don't do anything. In fact, the main reason is that they have to maintain their image in front of the girl.
This is not! This poetry meeting has not yet begun, and it is already very popular. In front of the female surname, these noble sons and daughters all have hormones soaring. Or tell jokes, or sell off your knowledge, or hook up with girls with a self-proclaimed sweet smile.
Compared with the more and more lively upstairs, after a while, the traffic like a water dragon in front of the alum building immediately became sparse. Since everyone came almost early, would anyone really wait until a quarter before the clock to come?
But at this time, the team that had been arrogant to the extreme appeared on the fireworks street outside the alum building.
The open flames were in full swing, and although the lanterns had been hung on the fireworks street at this time, they still couldn't weaken the dazzling fire of the team. Like a fire dragon, people came to ride horses, nearly 100 people, although the sound of horses' hooves was not very neat, but it was also like a muffled thunder. frightened many of the girls on the fireworks street with their faces disgraced and screamed again and again.
The big shopkeeper of the alum building didn't know what the identity of the person who came, and he was so arrogant. But how many people did this big shopkeeper usher in? It can naturally be seen that the owner of this team of people is either from a hard background, or he is extremely arrogant, no matter what it is, the big shopkeeper is not willing to offend. Needless to say, the former is completely idiotic, so why bother to do it yourself? Someone else took care of him.
Although the poetry meeting on the alum upstairs has not yet been held, everyone has almost arrived, and they are talking about it, and they are so unhappy. didn't want to encounter such a disappointing thing, the son of a certain third secretary Lang Zhong stood up angrily and said, "So so degraded? At the feet of the Son of Heaven, I don't want the world to be like this! ”
A scholar who entered Beijing to take the exam, and his father was the honor of the government, also stood up and scolded: "This is the case, be annihilated!" ”
At the poetry meeting held on the second floor, there was a shout of scolding and cheering, and the scolding was naturally scolding this person. Applause is naturally praise and scolding, and speech is outstanding.
For a time, this poetry club, since there were signs of becoming a scolding conference, changed. ps: I originally wanted to be three more yesterday, but I don't want to be Carvin. Mu Mu's ability to control this type of plot is a little lacking, and it took five hours of hard work for this chapter to come out. After a lot of time to check a lot of information, the next chapter will open a lot!
