Chapter 42: Stealing from Her?
If Jinmanlou is a street shop, then Yuzhi Pavilion is a deep alley mansion.
It's not a small building, it's not a shallow courtyard, but a real mansion.
According to Cai Xu, Yuzhi Pavilion is the residence of a minister of the previous dynasty, covering a vast area, rich inside, pavilions, ponds and streams, bamboo forest covered bridges...... Such a mansion is not conspicuous when it is dazzling from the outside, because there are no stone piers, no high steps, and no copper nail lacquer doors in front of the courtyard.
There is only a small sign hanging at the door - jade branches.
The courtyard is full of the style of Jiangnan garden, low-key, beautiful, and the degree of delicacy is by no means lower than that of Dongzhou Liufu, and the passing woman is even like its name - the beauty leans against the wall, and the jade branch makes the tip.
Cai Xu led the way, and saw some small servants and maids in the Jade Branch Pavilion, who treated everyone neither humbly nor arrogantly, and even the guests, seeing a few singers passing by, also looked polite.
I met a woman with elegant manners and extraordinary bearing.
When they saw her male guests, they all bowed, and their faces were all very respectful, as if they saw their own masters.
"That one, dressed in green clothes and wearing a square scarf, he is Fang Mu."
"Fang Mu?"
"Quite a famous poet!"
"If you want to see the beauties, go to Qinhuai Xiaozhu, Cai will take the first step, let's talk about it another day."
Cai Xu was also introduced here, and hurriedly stared at the business of "Beauty Cuisine" to promote it.
She looked at a pair of signs in her hand, on which were drawn a few symbols—presumably characters, but unfortunately she couldn't read them.
Ten minutes later.
I saw a lake.
The lake is not very big, but the water is clear, and there is a small pond planted with lotus flowers on one side.
If you want to reach Qin Huai Xiaozhu on the other side of the lake, you can take a boat, you can walk around the shore, because there are still a lot of people on the boat, she and Sun Er walked over quickly.
By the time they entered, "Beauty Cuisine" had already begun.
It was a mysterious sound, and when she saw it with her own eyes, she didn't think it was much fun.
But a man like Sun Er ...... Ouch, the eyeballs are about to fall into their mouths, and the other men who can hold it a little bit also cover their mouths with their hands, probably because they are afraid that they will be on their faces.
What is a beautiful food?
Of course, it's a beautiful meal.
The two-storey small building, the four curtains on the ground floor are all rolled up, leaving only a layer of fine yarn, and the outer corridor surrounds a circle of visitors, and there are several gentlemen sitting inside.
Everyone's eyes fell on the jade platform in the center of the room.
The finely carved jade platform is not as beautiful as the delicate girl lying on the jade platform.
The woman was dressed coolly, similar to a chiffon wrap skirt, with bare limbs, delicate collarbone grooves, and slender jade shoulders.
This cold food is a summer special.
Similar to the sakiri she had eaten earlier, some of them were like sushi.
It's not very special in her eyes, but it's a little more varied, the focus is on grasping the psychology of customers, delayed gratification, and a sense of specialness, so many people see that they can put the food on the beauty into their mouths, but there are a few gentlemen with seats inside.
Some people covet the beauty as a dinner plate.
Some people appreciate the beauty of the platter.
The latter is the sister of the top brand of Chang'an Jinxiao Lou mentioned by Cai Xu.
She looked at it for a while, but naturally she couldn't see clearly.
"Hey, let's go."
shouted a few times, but Sun Er was indifferent.
I had no choice but to carry my ears to bring his soul back.
"Great, auntie, let's, yet, we haven't eaten yet!"
"Eat a fart."
When she came out of the Yuzhi Pavilion, she picked up a few pastries from the buffet plate, and because they were free, ordinary people couldn't look down on them.
She took a bite and it tasted pretty good.
Leaving the Jade Branch Pavilion, he went straight to the river.
The Flower Shop is just across the river.
Yuzhi Pavilion is a cold fairy palace, and Fanhuafang is a lively temple fair.
The night is dark in the morning, and on both sides of the boat, there are all kinds of vendors who set up stalls and carry burdens, such as those who sell noodles, steamed buns, steamed buns, hu cakes, flowers, velvet flowers, colored shells and pearls, and rouge gouache......
The boat has three floors.
The lower floor is covered with lanterns.
Just the men and women standing at the guardrail, sweeping with their eyes, are twenty or thirty people.
The doors and windows on the second and third floors are closed, and every room is lit.
I paid the entrance fee and went in for a walk.
A woman like her who wears a riding costume is not uncommon, after all, Hu costume is popular in Chang'an, so she dresses like this, but no one looks at her with strange eyes, and besides, there are many women in and out of the Qinglou.
I sat down and ordered a few dishes - she had asked the price first.
Compared with Jinmanlou, it is indeed much more cost-effective.
Ordinary dishes, the cooking skills of Fanhuafang are not bad.
After Sun Eryi finished eating one by one, he said: "I can also cook these dishes." ”
I've seen the Flower Workshop.
I found an inn in the city and stayed overnight.
Don't ask why you don't live in the beautiful flower shop.
The next day, I got up early, had breakfast, and took Sun Er to a few major commercial streets to take a stroll to see the shops and residences on the street, and then make a choice based on the geographical location, economic value, and the silver taels in her purse.
At this time, there is no real estate agent, and if you want to buy and sell transactions, or rent, you can ask Fang Zheng, who is equivalent to a street director and does not receive a salary, mainly representatives of local wealthy households.
I made a general inquiry.
The general shop is about 500-800 yuan, and it can also be rented, a small shop, a few hundred dollars a month.
To have a good location, the size and area should also be appropriate, such a shop is not easy to find for a while.
gave Fang Zheng a gift, and the other party said that he would definitely pay attention to it.
It was almost three o'clock in the afternoon, and she was thinking about whether to go back today or stay overnight, it would take more than four hours to go back.
After looking at the bustling streets, I decided to go back first.
Unfortunately, the coachman was too late.
"Hurry up early tomorrow!"
The driver said that he usually travels once in the morning and once in the afternoon, and there is hardly any driver out of the city at other times.
The road is long and unsafe.
"Let's rest tonight, where are we resting?"
As soon as the words "...... break" came to his lips, something bumped into him.
Look down.
An eight- or nine-year-old boy.
The boy had a dirty face, and when he saw her looking at him, but his eyes were evasive, he immediately pushed her.
The boy turned and ran to the side.
"Hey!" She grabbed the boy by the shoulder with her backhand.
Somewhat awkward.
Tugging at the outer layer of clothes over her shoulders, she pulled the person closer: "Stealing, stealing from me?" Boy, aren't you daring? ”
Glancing at the boy's hand.
She pulled a purse herself out of his sleeve.
The only decoration on the belt was a purse, and there were only a dozen copper coins in it.
It's not about the money, it's about being stolen from the money bag, and she feels ashamed.
Immediately, the boy struggled to run.
It was also a coincidence that the boy broke free from her hands, and with the large number of people, the boy suddenly disappeared.
"Over there!" Sun Er found someone at a glance.
The two chased them to a small alley.
As far as the eye could see, there was no one at the end of the alley.
"Mingming...... Obviously ran in, come, what, why is the person missing? ”
She set her eyes on the pile of garbage.
