Chapter 67 The Pattern of the Capital
In this prosperous place, the Tang Mansion settled here. This woman is here, and she will definitely turn it upside down.
After Tang Yiqin has a general understanding and familiarity with the capital, he can open a store and live here.
The capital is indeed majestic, and you must first pass through the high city wall before you can really enter it; After entering, there are three forked intersections, one east and one west, and the avenue is due north. There are many shops on both sides of the street, and there are houses in the middle, which is where the common people live.
All the way to the north, the further you go in, the more prosperous the mansion you live alone becomes, and even the cries of those who have just entered Beijing are rarely heard. Until the last holy place - the palace, but when I saw the new people laughing, I heard the old people crying!
The functional division of the capital is also very obvious, and the center is an entertainment and leisure area, with performances and music, gambling houses, fireworks and willows, and eating, drinking, and playing...... And so on, also known as the "Land of the Fallen". How many people spend all day here, unwilling to leave, and end up with a ruined family, but they still haven't woken up.
The prosperous and sluggish place can be seen from high-ranking officials and nobles to ordinary people. A piece of land here was also sold for 10,000 taels of gold, and it is still hard to find.
The east is the land of princes and nobles, who do not like to enter the land of depravity, and are ashamed of those who enter. They think that chess, chess, calligraphy and painting are elegant things, and those are vulgar things of the common people, which will only make people dirty.
In the West, there are shops selling clothes, accessories, and miscellaneous goods, and most of the inns and medical centers live here. It is far less lively than the central place, and it is deeply loved by the people of Xijing.
However, in the far west, there is an even more mysterious place. I heard that there is any news you want there, and it can also help you kill people and buy goods, of course, as long as you can afford it, everything is not a problem. What's even more strange is that they only take on one mission a day, and no one knows the forces behind them, let alone find their traces.
If you need to do something, just put the note in the stone lion of the river without saying anything, and at ten o'clock in the middle of the night, the stone lion will disappear. The Pavilion will then find the chosen one, ask for a bounty, and begin the quest. At dawn the next day, you can see the tragic situation of the dead.
If someone asks: Isn't the court afraid of such forces? Doesn't anyone want to exterminate them?
There is no trace of it during the day, just taverns and ordinary people, everything is normal. In the middle of the night, the stone lion disappeared, but he never saw half a figure, and there was no trace of him.
Although Luo Ge took money to buy his life, he never killed the court officials, and the people in the court gradually stopped chasing him. It's not that the people behind the Pavilion are afraid, maybe the time has not come.
With this separation, there are places where princes, nobles, and wealthy merchants live, and even the pedestrians on the road are much less. The further you go, the higher your official position, the closer you are to the palace. Tang Yiqin can be regarded as living at the boundary between the two, and the land price is also very expensive. I am afraid that I can't get it without 10,000 taels of silver, even if Xie Jinming earned more or less in Qiantang County before, he would have to take a lot of silver taels.
After Tang Yiqin settled down, he began to understand the capital with Xie Jinming.
The first goal is to go to the famous "tile shop", that is, the entertainment area of the central district, this name Tang Yiqin still learned from Xie Jinming's mouth, and the people who enter it are called "tiles". Every time you go in, you have to pay a tael of silver, so it seems that it is really not a place where ordinary people can often consume.
As soon as Tang Yiqin entered the tile shop, he felt that there was indeed no liveliness outside, first there was a shout of eating, there were artists everywhere on the street, some people lived here for a long time to eat and drink in order to save money from entering the door, and slowly the food here was several times more expensive than that in other places.
There are even more masked people everywhere on the streets, are these people peerless masters? But the figure of those people is really a little bad, Tang Yiqin thought silently in his heart.
"As you can see, the people who wear masks are actually high-ranking nobles, and in order not to be exposed, they usually use masks to cover their identities. In their eyes, this place is a dirty place. ”
"Hypocrisy!" Tang Yuting, who didn't say much, continued to spit out golden words. In order to prevent the previous incident from happening again, Tang Yuting was promoted to become Tang Yiqin's bodyguard.
Tang Yiqin felt that he should also take Tang Yuting out to go around, and he couldn't just read dead books in the house. Why didn't she bring Wang Guihua, she didn't know about the capital, and she couldn't let her mother take the risk of following her out, she would take her mother to go shopping in the future.
Xie Jinming touched the mask on his face, feeling that he had been scolded. What to do? It's okay, you don't have to save face if you are scolded by your own people.
"How about we open a shop here?"
"Ahem, cough, cough~ Grandma, do you want the lion to open your mouth? Do you know how expensive land is here? And money doesn't necessarily mean it's not going to be able to buy it. ”
"How much?"
"Ten thousand taels of gold."
It's a lot, but isn't there a casino? With her six-layer Tai Chi skills, I want to see clearly that those are not trivial.
"Yes, my sister will take you to make money. If they fall on the bill for a while, you two are ready to fight. ”
Looking at his aunt's posture, it doesn't look like making money at all, but like robbing money, how can he have a bad premonition. Pity his handsome face, and the bruise and purple appearance for a while made his flesh hurt.
"Well, you'll be hiding behind me for a while."
My brother's boyfriend is amazing! It would be nice for her to find such a husband one day.
"That, Brother Yuting, can I hide behind you too?"
Tang Yuting was silent, give you a look and experience it yourself, the eyes with a cold knife are even more terrible than being beaten, Xie Jinming swallowed his saliva, he still admitted it!
"Don't worry, I will definitely protect my aunt and grandmother, and others will never want to touch her at all."
Looking at Tang Yuting's sudden smiling face, Xie Jinming also laughed awkwardly, did he do the right thing. It is said that he is the host in the capital, how can he still feel like a younger brother in front of this sister and brother.
Walking into the gambling house, Tang Yiqin and their combination quickly attracted everyone's attention, although the national style is open here, it is really rare for women to come to the gambling house, not to mention such a beautiful little beauty, looking at it makes people want to go up and touch the impulse. There is also a teenager beside him, this little fart has not yet grown his hair, so he dares to mix in this kind of place. Many people wait for a while to see the jokes of the sister and brother, and maybe they can also appreciate the figure of the beauty.
The most eye-catching thing is this man with a mask, looking at the light cyan brocade on his body, it is estimated that he is an idle young master.
The people here are also strange, the powerful and rich people think that it is a shame to come here, while the common people are proud to come here. As a result, a strange phenomenon was formed in this place, where those who wore masks were nobles and nobles, and those who did not wear masks were commoners.
Those who do not wear masks must be polite when they see those wearing masks, in order to prevent someone from impersonating, the masks are uniformly customized, and they can only be obtained by virtue of the identity waist card.
