Chapter 162: Yanyue Tower

Originally, Chang'an City was going to implement a curfew, but because Huo Guang held a night market during his tenure in Chang'an, not only did Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty see the liveliness of the night market, but also remembered the URL of this site:. Although the night market could not be implemented, some courtiers still wrote to ask for the curfew to be extended, a proposal that was approved by the vast majority of courtiers, and now the curfew in Chang'an City has been postponed to three o'clock in the evening, that is, close to ten o'clock in the evening in later generations.

With the postponement of the curfew, Chang'an City at night has also undergone great changes, because of the success of the Huoguang Night Market, the candle making process has become more and more mature, and relatively cheap candle products have begun to appear in large households. There is no shortage of wealthy families in Chang'an City, and some places for rich people to have fun have also come into being.

Huo Guang took Du Yannian and Shangguan Ji to a place near Xishi, Huo Guang took an ordinary carriage, Du Yannian and the others just followed on horseback, and there were two people walking with them, these two people are the seventh and eighth who have always been inseparable from Huo Guang, of course, now they are called Huo Qi and Huo Ba.

As soon as Huo Guang got out of the carriage, he saw that there were no less than ten beautifully decorated carriages parked in the annex, and a large number of horses were tied to the horse stakes not far away.

"I didn't expect the king to bring us here, I have long heard that a few months ago in Chang'an City built a 'smoke moon building', all kinds of tastes make people linger, but it is a full gold nest, come here is not a dignitary, or a rich man with a fortune." Du Yannian saw a three-story pavilion not far away, and said unexpectedly.

"You don't have to see the outside like this when you go out, you just call me the second master." Huo Guang said with a smile on his face. Those who come to this Yanyue Building are either rich or expensive. It is said that it is in some private rooms inside. From time to time, there will be princes coming.

"Old Seven. You go in and arrange it. Huo Guang commanded Huo Qi, and then Huo Qi quickly walked into the Yanyue Tower. After a while, Huo Guangcai took Du Yannian and the others and slowly walked into the Yanyue Tower.

This Yanyue Building from the outside seems to be only a relatively large attic, as soon as you walk into it, you know that there is something inside, just enter the door to see a brilliant and magnificent hall, you can smell the aroma of fat powder in the hall from a distance, and hear the sound of some men and women laughing.

As soon as I entered the door, a woman with flowers and branches and a good posture greeted me. "How many guests want to have something to do? We have everything in Yanyue Building, and we will definitely be able to satisfy a few guests! ”

Looking at Huo Guang's young faces, there was a lot of meaning in his words. The woman's question made Du Yannian and Shangguan Ji not know how to answer, but Huo Guang just smiled and didn't speak. Just when the woman felt strange, a middle-aged man's voice suddenly came from behind her: "You go to greet other guests first, and I will personally greet this distinguished guest." ”

A middle-aged man in his early thirties hurriedly ran from behind the woman, this person was well-dressed and looked extraordinary. The man ran to Huo Guang in a few steps, and hurriedly bowed his head and said to Huo Guang: "The room has been arranged, please come inside." ”

The middle-aged man's words made Du Yannian and Shangguan Ji both surprised, feeling that our lord is still a frequent visitor here? And the beautiful woman was also very surprised. Because she's not been here for a day or two, she can't even be named by name for the regulars. He also remembered his appearance, but he never remembered the young man in front of him.

What made her even more puzzling was that in the past, even if those Hou came, her boss was not necessarily so cautious, how could he be so respectful to this young man?

Huo Guang nodded slightly at the middle-aged man, and then naturally followed the middle-aged man towards the third floor. The layout of this Yanyue Tower is quite peculiar, the rooms from this to the third floor are on both sides of the hall, and the entire hall is vacant in the middle of the whole building. Whether you are in the rooms on the second floor or the third floor, you can clearly see the central hall.

Huo Guang and his entourage walked all the way up to the second floor and then to the third floor, standing on a high place to have an unobstructed view of the entire hall. As I walked through some of the upper rooms, the sound of orchestral music could be heard in some of the rooms.

Soon, the middle-aged man pushed open the innermost door on the third floor and welcomed Huo Guang and the others into it. The decoration in the room is even more magnificent than the outside, and even an official family like Du Yannian can't help but be moved. No wonder it is said that this Yanyue Building is a nest of gold, and the layout of this house alone is not something that idle people can enjoy, and those rumored projects that can make men fascinated are no wonder that those powerful and rich people can spend a lot of money.

The room is not big, but the floor is covered with thick cloth, which is soft and comfortable to step on, and it does not feel cold even in winter. The furniture in the house is made of fine rosewood, and the corners are inlaid with gold wire. Even the cushions used for kneeling are fine fur.

"It's really not simple, I'm afraid Your Majesty's inner palace is just like that, right?" Du Yannian was surprised again and said that Du Yannian, the place where Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty lived in Weiyang Palace, had not been there, but he estimated that the current emperor was nothing more than that.

"There are people in Your Majesty's inner palace who are not so luxurious, and I didn't expect this place to be made like this by you. In this room for a night, I'm afraid I can't get more than 100 gold, right? Huo Guang knew that Emperor Wu of Han's life was not so luxurious, but when he said this, it meant that it was the first time he had come here, and he was also a little surprised by this.

When Huo Guang and the others sat down, they didn't see any maids coming in, but the middle-aged man who looked like the boss quickly closed the door, and then bowed down and walked into Huo Guang. This move made Du Yannian and Shangguan Ji very strange, and the next scene was even more unexpected for the two.

"Subordinate Zuo Akita to meet the king." The middle-aged man who looked like a boss knelt directly in front of Huo Guang, looking respectful.

"Get up and speak! Ben Jun has been busy and has no time to come, but I often hear Manager Zhen mention you, saying that you are shrewd and capable, and you have made this Yanyue Tower look good, and in just half a year, it has been the premier place in Chang'an City. Huo Guang waved his hand lightly and asked Zuo Akita to get up and speak, although it was the first time he had seen Zuo Akita for the first time, but he did often hear Zhen Youcai talk about it.

In Chang'an City, it is only rumored that this Yanyue Tower has a very powerful backer, but no one knows that the real boss behind Yanyue Tower is Huo Guang. Speaking of which, this Yanyue Tower was built by Zhen Youcai before Huo Guang went to Hanoi County, and the development of Yanyue Tower in the past half a year made Huo Guang a little surprised.

"Your Majesty, here are the accounts of Yanyue Building in the past half a year, and the money earned by Yanyue Building in half a year is enough for the funds spent on construction. The monthly profits are handed over to Mr. Zhen on time, please take a look. Zuo Akita took out an account book from his arms and presented it to Huo Guang with both hands.

"You just put away the account book, Benjun has always been suspicious of employing people, since Yanyue Tower is handed over to you to take care of, everything here is naturally up to you, Benjun will never ask more, you can talk to Manager Zhen about everything." Who knew that Huo Guang didn't take the account book at all, but waved his hand and said, looking completely indifferent.

On the surface, Huo Guang seems to have only a few farms and estates, which is not rich compared to those dignitaries in the court, but he also has the paper industry in charge of Lu Shu and the current Yanyue Building, plus these, I am afraid that no one except a few Wanhu Marquis is rich Huo Guang.

"It's rare for the gentleman to come once, his subordinates have already arranged the best girl in Yanyue Tower, and these two must be Du Gongzi and General Shangguan, right? I have admired the two great names for a long time, and today I finally have the fate to meet! There are two other rooms next door that are also ready for the two of you. "Zuo Qiutian is worthy of being a person who can make this Yanyue Tower prosperous, Huo Guang has not yet introduced Du Yannian and Shangguan Ji, he already knows the identities of the two. In fact, a character like Zuo Akita has made Huo Guang's henchmen clear early on.

"You can greet the two of them, Benjun won't come here, in case Mrs. knows, aren't you afraid that she will come to demolish your Yanyue Tower?" Huo Guang said jokingly, although he knew that what Zuo Qiutian had prepared for him must be an innocent girl, but Huo Guang was really not interested in these women in Fengyue Place.

"The love between the king and his wife has long become a good story in Chang'an City, it seems that this statement is really true!" Zuo Akita reacted very quickly, resolved the embarrassment with one sentence, and complimented him again, making the atmosphere extremely harmonious.

"Brother Yannian, you two are here tonight to have fun, I'll go out and have a look." Huo Guang said to Du Yannian and Shangguan Ji with a smile on his face, and then got up and walked out of the room.

"Come, serve the two distinguished guests well. The two little ones are lost first! Zuo Akita just shouted casually, and immediately two girls with excellent postures entered. Then he confessed and immediately followed behind Huo Guang, Du Yannian and Shangguan Ji also nodded and smiled, Huo Guang was here Zuo Akita naturally wanted to accompany Huo Guang.

Huo Guang walked out of the door, propped himself on the railing of the corridor with one hand, and looked at the drunken scene in the hall, as if he felt that all this was in a dream. Think about it a few years ago, he was an ordinary person in later generations, but now he has become a pivotal figure in this Chang'an city more than 2,000 years ago.

"Your Majesty, this is the wine of the Western Regions that has just arrived, and it is the palace wine that Mr. Lu's caravan exchanged for in the Cheshi Royal Court." Zuo Akita appeared behind Huo Guang with a rhino horn cup, and before he took the glass, Huo Guang already smelled a sweet smell of wine.

"Has Lu Shu's caravan started trading with the countries of the Western Regions? A glass of wine like that is worth a lot of money, isn't it? Huo Guang took the rhino horn cup, took a shallow sip and asked. The Mr. Lu in Zuo Akita's mouth is actually Lu Shu.

"There aren't many of this kind of wine, and we don't provide it to ordinary guests, except for those guests with special status, others can't drink it even if they give money." Zuo Qiutian replied respectfully, this wine from the palace of the Cheshi Wang, even if Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty does not have too much, it is indeed something that is difficult to drink even if you have money.
