Chapter 39: Heaven and Earth

In summer, the morning light is also particularly warm, the morning glow is sprinkled into the world, and the green trees and flowers in the courtyard are dyed enchanting and charming.

The morning glow through the branches and leaves of the begonia flowers is like a dazzling colored light, which illuminates Gu Chengcheng dizzy.

When I opened my eyes, I saw that I didn't pull the curtain last night, and the morning glow came in through the flower branches, through the carved windows, reflecting bursts of dazzling light, and my eyes were dizzy.

She looked at herself holding the peach blossom infatuation ring tightly, and suddenly realized in her heart:

It must be that he is holding the peach blossom infatuation and falling asleep, thinking about it day and night.

She silently repeated in her heart several times the infatuation spell that Grandma Pan Tao said in her dream.

Why should the peach grandmother in the dream remember it herself?

What's the use of remembering that infatuation spell?

Forget it, nightmares are all ethereal and illusory, not real at all.

Gu Qingcheng smiled and got up.

When she got up and packed up, Gu Yuqing knocked on the door and came in, asking her if she slept well last night.

Gu Tingcheng didn't tell his eldest brother about those dreams, dreams are dreams after all, and there is nothing to say.

He nodded.

Even if there is a dream, with the love of Grandma Peach, it is a very good dream.

They didn't have breakfast at home, because Gu Yuqing wanted to take Gu Qingcheng to heaven and earth to eat Pingcheng's most famous breakfast.

The people in the Gu Mansion thought that Gu Qingcheng was going back to the palace in a hurry, and they didn't pay attention to whether she had breakfast.

Gu Yuqing said that he returned to his son Taixue and sent Gu Tingcheng back to the palace by the way, which seemed to be understandable for Gu Tingcheng's popular juncture.

Liu Rushuang frowned and gritted her teeth, even if there were thousands of unhappy, seeing Gu Zhongnian looking at Gu Qingcheng's satisfied face, she could only swallow her anger for the time being.

Gu Tingcheng wore a gauze skirt embroidered with folded branches and begonias, white clothes fluttering, long hair reaching waist, looking like a fairy.

The glow-in-the-dark hosta on the bun is even more beautiful.

Gu Yuqing's face is like a crown of jade, and she is dressed in plain brocade. and Gu Tingcheng are like golden boys and girls.

Gu Yuqing took Gu Qingcheng to the most famous heaven and earth in Pingcheng in the Gu Mansion carriage.

"This heaven and earth is the most famous and prosperous place in Pingcheng, from morning to night, you can eat tea and listen to the opera.

You can watch light songs and dances, and you can auction off rare treasures.

And the pastries here are the most delicious, and I heard that all the chefs used to be imperial chefs. ”

Gu Yuqing introduced to Gu Tingcheng.

Gu Qingcheng lifted the curtain and looked at it, and his heart sank:

This splendid and magnificent heaven and earth turned out to be the place where the devil brought her last time.

Only last time, they didn't go through the main door, but entered through the side door, and went directly into the private room.

“…… Big brother, are you sure we're really going to have breakfast here? ”

Gu Qingcheng had palpitations, looking left and right, really afraid that he would bump into that devil again.

She was not afraid of heaven and earth, but for some reason, she was afraid of the devil in her heart.

"Let's go," Gu Yuqing helped her get out of the carriage and walked inside.

"Wait......" Gu Qingcheng quickly paused.

And he took out a spagha and put it on his face, covering his face completely, lest he should be seen by the devil.

"Big brother, it turns out that this is where the devil brought me before." Gu Qingcheng explained.

Gu Yuqing knew what she meant, but she was afraid that she didn't want to see the devil, so she shook her head and smiled, and didn't stop her, and walked in with her.

"This is the most luxurious place in Heicheng, and there are people who specialize in eating and listening to dramas.

There are those who specialize in having fun, and the dignitaries and nobles of the capital will come here for dinner and entertainment.

We're not looking for fun, we're eating specially, just don't get it wrong. Gu Yuqing said again.

The devil took her through the side door before, and she didn't enter through the main entrance, and after entering the wing, she didn't go around, but she knew that it was very prosperous and lively.

Now they enter through the main entrance, turn left and enter the dining and listening lobby.

In the center is a large stage with a red veil.

The lobby is flanked by a spacious staircase leading to the upper floors.

Only then did Gu Tingcheng realize that this heavenly world was exquisitely decorated and magnificent, and it was so luxurious.

There was a joke on the stage early on.

“…… I saw that the hero, a harrier, turned over and dodged the three arrows that shot at him.

With another roar, he rose to the sky, jumped onto the high platform, and the human sword was united, and shot at the group of gangsters......"

The voice of the drama is sonorous and loud, and the sound is colorful.

Gu Qingcheng asked himself about his jokes and stories, and no one else was professionally outstanding.

Even if Gu Qingcheng was covered with a veil, he tried to lower his head as much as possible, for fear that he would accidentally encounter the devil.

They found a secluded corner and sat down.

Gu Tingcheng also deliberately turned his back to the guests behind.

In this way, you should not be able to run into the devil.

Gu Yuqing knew that Gu Tingcheng liked to eat pastries.

I ordered Qingtuanzi, osmanthus cake, rose cake, peony roll, pea yellow, mung bean cake, horseshoe cake, hibiscus cake, Ruyi cake and jade white fungus soup.

"Well, it's delicious." Gu Qingcheng nodded while eating, and said with a smile: "I like to eat pastries the most." ”

Gu Tingcheng had eaten the food here before, and he felt that it was nothing more than that.

Now having breakfast with my eldest brother, I feel that the special breakfast here is not inferior to that made in the palace, and the color, fragrance and beauty are just as exquisite.

After all, it is the imperial kitchen that came out of the palace.

It turns out that even if it is the same thing, the taste of eating is different depending on the mood.

"Of course, the celebrity chefs here are all imperial chefs from the palace, and they live up to their reputation.

Just now we walked to the palace on the left to eat and listen to the opera, and on the right we watched exotic songs and dances and auctioned off rare treasures.

Heaven and earth, eating, drinking and merrymaking, if you are interested, wait for a while to finish eating early, let's go to the side to take a stroll and see what peerless treasure auction? ”

Gu Qingcheng said in his heart: Still shopping? If you run into the devil, you're in trouble.

So he said: "I'm not interested in those music and dancing and babies, let's finish eating and leave." ”

"Okay, you're not interested in watching the auction, it's rare to take you out shopping, let's go around elsewhere after eating." Gu Yuqing said and sandwiched a pastry for her.

"It's so luxurious and expensive, which rich boss opened it?" Gu Qingcheng asked curiously.

"The boss here is a woman, called Feng Thirteen Niang.

She is one of the richest business owners in Pingcheng.

Not only are the people coquettish, but the dance is also a must in Pingcheng, so the business here will be so good.

and Qin Batian of Zhuangyuanfang, Xue Wuniang of Linglong Pavilion, and Master Jin, who specializes in arms and munitions, and is known as the four local tyrants of Pingcheng. Gu Yuqing said the head of the way.

"Feng Thirteen Niang, a woman is also so powerful?" Gu Tingcheng asked in a little surprise.

"It can be seen that women don't let their eyebrows be shaved now, and they must not be ignored." Gu Yuqing said.

“…… Qin Batian? Gu Qingcheng said again, "What a domineering name." ”

"People are as their name suggests, Qin Batian's name is domineering, and his Hongmen's business is even more domineering." Gu Yuqing said.

"Hongmen? How domineering? Gu Tingcheng asked curiously.

Drinking tea and eating breakfast is also idle chatter.

"Zhuangyuanfang Gold Shop is just a business under Hongmen. Hongmen also has Caoyun, wharf, dart board, gangsters, salt industry, and casino.

These transactions spread all over the capital and even every part of the Great Wei Dynasty, and there were almost no transactions in which he Qin Batianhongmen did not participate. ”

Gu Yuqing was familiar with their affairs.

"So powerful, then isn't he really dominant?" Gu Qingcheng couldn't help but be speechless.

"Of course, there are still many competitors in this capital, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and Hongmen is just a gang.

There are so many gangs and sects in this world, and they don't give in to each other.

Otherwise, he is not a tyrant, but an anti-the-sky. Gu Yuqing said in a low voice.

"But this name of hegemony is really well deserved." Gu Qingcheng sighed.

"Of course, let's talk about gambling houses, except for the casinos on heaven and earth, almost half of the other small gambling houses outside are Hongmen." Gu Yuqing said again.

"Then Qin Batian is really powerful." Gu Tingcheng nodded.

Suddenly, she was more interested in the person her eldest brother called Master Jin:

"Qin Batian is already domineering enough, that old man Jin, even the eldest brother respectfully calls that person Master Jin, it can be seen that Boss Jin is even more of an incredible character."

"I don't know him, and he doesn't know me, how can I call him master, it's almost the same when he calls me master!" Gu Yuqing smiled.

exudes the naughtiness of the boy himself.,It's no longer the humble gentleman who is taught on weekdays.。

Gu Qingcheng looked at the eldest brother in astonishment.

"He is engaged in arms and munitions, and he is indeed a great figure, and he has a fight with Hongmen Qin Batian.

But his business is war money, and what he earns is ill-gotten gains in exchange for rivers of blood.

Besides, his surname Jin is called Master, you say that he has such a name, and everyone wants him to respect him as Master, is it not worth beating? ”

There was contempt and indignation in Gu Yuqing's tone.

Gu Yuqing is a young man after all, and when he thinks of such an angry name, even if he is a humble gentleman, he doesn't disdain it in his mouth.

"With such a rich and domineering name, he still earns the ill-gotten wealth of the dead in the war, and he really owes a beating." Gu Qingcheng couldn't help laughing, "It seems that the eldest brother knows a lot." ”

"After all, our father is a fourth-rank official Shangshu Langzhong, such a famous boss in Pingcheng, of course I've heard of it, but I haven't seen it." Gu Yuqing said.

After taking a sip of tea, he lowered his voice and said:

"But not all the money they make goes into their own pockets.

I heard my father say that half of it went into the treasury, which was equivalent to the money bag of the Great Wei court.

Therefore, the imperial court also took good care of these operators, so their business became more prosperous. ”

Gu Tingcheng nodded: "Reciprocity is the way for business and officials, and it is also the way for the fittest to survive." ”

They chatted, sipped pastries, ate tea, and listened to jokes downstairs.

Gu Qingcheng was secretly glad that he finally didn't meet that devil.

While they were eating refreshments, they listened to the play for a while.

From entering the heavens and the earth, Gu Qingcheng deliberately covered his face with a silk handkerchief for fear of encountering the devil again, and sat in a secluded corner.

Even if you drink tea and eat snacks, you wear a silk handkerchief, and carefully open a corner to eat snacks.

Otherwise, her appearance will definitely attract the attention of the guests or the shopkeeper, how could the people of Nan'an Wang not find her?

When the shop guy came to check out, he said:

"Why did the two of them go so fast, our store recently invited a famous actress who is popular all over the country, and he will be on stage at noon, his play is really not to be missed."

Gu Yuqing looked at Gu Qingcheng and asked for her opinion.

Gu Tingcheng thought that since he was a famous singer who was popular all over the country, maybe the devil would come to see it, so he couldn't stay here longer.

So he shook his head slightly at Gu Yuqing.

Gu Yuqing said to the guy in the shop: "Thank you, little second brother, we still have something to do, come back next time." ”

"Okay, the two guest officers are at their own convenience." The shopkeeper is not reluctant.
