Chapter 7 The First Floor of the World (Asking for Tickets and Collections)

"Childe, don't go—"

When the peddler saw that the owner was gone, the 100 yuan in his hand was gone, and he was so anxious that he screamed like a monkey.

The little boy didn't look back, and disappeared into the bustling crowd in a blink of an eye.

The peddler slapped his thigh with remorse, and suddenly his eyes were aimed at Shi Wei again, and he immediately laughed and said: "This son, do you still want this string of ice-flavored candy, you can take it away with ten yuan." ”

Shi Wei looked disdainful and sneered.

"Five runs are fine."

"It's not always good."

Shi Wei was indifferent, looking at the hawker who saw the money like a monkey and lowered the price by half a sky, and then threw out a sentence with an expressionless face: "I only pay a penny." ”

"A penny?" The peddler immediately became anxious and shouted, "Are you kidding, my ice-flavored candy was originally going to sell for ten yuan." ”

Shi Wei said coldly: "If you refuse to sell for a penny, then I will go to the government to sue you for the crime of raising prices and cheating guests, you can do it yourself." ”

The peddler was scared all of a sudden, he thought to himself that the boy in front of him was willing to pay ten yuan to buy a bunch of fruits, there must be some origins, and now he really ignored it, if he really went to the government to be convicted, what should he do.

After pondering like this, the peddler quickly softened, shook his head and sighed: "That's it, just one article, just one article, I am unlucky to meet you and that son today." ”

From 100,000 wen to one penny, the hawker's dream of getting rich overnight was shattered, and the frustrated energy can be imagined.

Shi Wei was also angry with this peddler's eyes for money, and now that he was small, a bad breath came out, so he no longer had more knowledge with him.

He casually dropped a penny, picked the ice-scented candy and handed it to Pan Zisu.

"My stomach is uncomfortable, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat this thing." Pan Zisu didn't know that Shi Wei had seen through it, and continued to pretend.

Shi Wei smiled and said: "I know your intentions, we have earned a penny of ice candy, don't you really eat it?" ”

Pan Zisu was stunned for a moment, then lowered his eyebrows and smiled, and his face flashed a little embarrassed.

She had no choice but to straighten up, take the ice candy, take a bite gently, and then look at Shi Wei's warm and smiling face, and couldn't help laughing.

Shi Wei asked: "It's not that we can't afford this money, why do you want to let that sissy?" ”

Pan Zisu sighed: "I know you have a lot of savings, but you have to support this big family now, and you don't have any income, just spend that lot of money just for this little thing for me, you don't feel sorry for me, I feel sorry." Besides, if we first come to Bianjing, we are not familiar with the place, I think that little boy is arrogant, he must be the son of a powerful person, and it is better not to offend. ”

Pan Zisu patiently persuaded her, her words were appropriate and insightful, but she was sincerely convinced of Shi Wei.

He immediately took Pan Zisu's hand and said, "I am sometimes a little stubborn, but fortunately I can be by your side to remind me from time to time, and to have a confidant like you is really a blessing that I Shi Wei cultivated in my previous life." ”

Pan Zisu listened to the sweetness in his heart as if he had eaten honey, but his face was a little shy, so he just let him hold his hand, lowered his eyebrows and smiled silently.

When the two of them were ambiguous and warm, Cao Cong hurriedly stepped onto the bridge, and said apologetically: "There was a delay, and I was a step late, so I made the two of you wait for a long time." ”

Pan Zisu was busy withdrawing his hand.

Shi Wei coughed lightly a few times and said with a smile: "We also just arrived not long ago, and we just ran into an interesting sissy, so it was not in vain. ”

"Sissy?" Cao Cong looked puzzled.

Shi Wei said: "Isn't Brother Cao going to invite us to Fanlou for a drink, and I'll tell you this interesting story slowly on the way." ”

So, the three of them got off the state bridge and walked all the way to Donghuamen Street with a smile.

After a while, Shi Wei finally saw this big restaurant, which Cao Cong called "the first floor in the world".

This tower is composed of five buildings of the same form, reading power to each other, and a flying bridge and open ladder are built between each floor, which can not only walk through each other, but also look down on the railing.

Shi Wei stood below and looked up, slightly estimating that the highest part of this Fan Tower was at least as tall as a modern six-story building.

In modern times, this height is of course nothing, but in the era of the Northern Song Dynasty, most of the houses in the Bianjing City Market are brick and wood bungalow structures, and Fan Lou is located in them, like standing out from the crowd, how can it not give people a sense of towering into the sky.

Walk into the restaurant, look around, but see that every aisle of this Fan Building, each pavilion is hung with bead curtains embroidered forehead, the decoration is very exquisite, and the end is magnificently luxurious.

Shi Wei couldn't help but admire: "The name of the first floor in the world, when I see it today, it really deserves its name." ”

"It's still daytime, if you come to Fanlou at night, the candlelight is shining, the lights are novel, and the scenery is better. Especially on the night of the first day of the first lunar month, a lamp will be lit in each tile on the eaves, looking at it from afar, this Fan Lou is like a golden flying dragon soaring in the night sky of Miao, such a scene, it is simply beautiful. ”

Cao Cong, a "local", said proudly.

Listening to Cao Cong's description, Pan Zisu's pretty face couldn't help but show a look of longing, and said: "Since the scenery of Fan Tower is better at night, why doesn't Gongzi Cao take us here to see it at night." ”

Cao Cong said: "On the first day of the first month of this year, I will definitely invite two people to come to Fanlou to enjoy the lanterns. ”

"Another purpose?" Shi Wei and Pan Zisu glanced at each other, and both of them looked suspicious.

Cao Cong showed a somewhat mysterious smile on his face: "Brother Shi will naturally know, let's go up to the three mountains." ”

In a big hotel like Fanlou, it is natural that the high-class drinkers who come here to spend money are rich.

Those who don't have much money usually sit in the courtyard downstairs, and these places are called "doorways and beds".

As for those who are rich and heavy on alcohol, most of them will choose to go upstairs, which is called "mountaineering".

Cao Congkou's "three mountains" actually means to go up to the third floor.

Shi Wei and the others followed Cao Cong up the stairs.

Just a few steps up, looking down condescendingly, Shi Wei saw that in the few small pavilions next to the doorbed road downstairs, there were actually hundreds of girls with flowers and branches.

Seeing this scene, Shi Wei couldn't help but take a few more looks, and Cao Cong smiled and said: "Brother Shi brought Miss Pan here today, otherwise, you can choose a few good kabuki from Fan Lou to appreciate the difference between the smoke willow woman in our Bianjing and the taste of Jinling City." ”

Cao Cong's words were naturally alluding to Fengyue.

His voice was lowered, and he was originally speaking to Shi Wei, but Pan Zisu in the back was deaf and clear-sighted, and somehow heard it, so he covered his mouth and coughed lightly a few times.

Cao Cong hurriedly shut up, and only smiled and gave Shi Wei a look.

Shi Wei laughed at himself: "Shi Moujie grass people, how dare you talk about Fengyue, Brother Cao laughed." ”

While speaking, they had already gone up to the third floor, Cao Cong took a breath, but said with a strange smile: "Brother Shi, don't be humble, today it is called the grass people, and the Ming Dynasty may be a high-ranking official, it all depends on whether you can grasp the opportunity." ”

Cao Cong's words sounded mysterious again, and Shi Wei's doubts were even stronger.

"It's here, Brother Shi, let's go in."

Cao Cong led them to the "Wangxian Pavilion" in the east, and when they were about to cross the flying bridge, they were blocked by several sergeants and people dressed as maidservants.

The men first demanded that they show their posts, and then they went so far as to search their bodies.

Shi Wei couldn't help but wonder: "If you go to a restaurant to eat a drink, you will be searched, what kind of rule is this?" ”

Cao Cong said: "Brother Shi, you don't know, today I will bring you here, not only to eat and drink, but also to participate in a poetry and literary meeting." ”

"Wenhui?" Shi Wei was stunned for a moment, and still puzzled: "Even if it's a Wenhui, you shouldn't search people's bodies." ”

The corners of Cao Cong's mouth raised a smile, and he said: "Brother Shi, you don't know, it is none other than Dezhao, the second prince of my Great Song Dynasty, who is presiding over this literary meeting. ”
