Chapter 10: The First Floor of Xueji

Tonight is the night of the Lantern Festival.

Lin Xiangwan came to the street with perilla, it was obviously the middle of winter when the snow was shining, and the snow finally stopped for a day.

The east wind blooms thousands of trees at night, and the stars are like rain, fireworks of different sizes and patterns bloom in the air, and countless stars fall like rain, and fireworks are one after another.

Lin Xiangwan and Zisu wandered the streets at will, although it was the night of the Lantern Festival, unrestrained, but Zisu insisted on bringing her a cyan tulle before going out on the grounds that she was the daughter of the prime minister, how could she show her face.

A wooden hairpin rolled up Lin Xiangwan's hair, and her only a pair of black eyes like pearls were dripping outside the veil.

What is the Lantern Festival like in this world?

Lin Xiangwan was a little curious, holding Zisu's hand, and looking at the entire street curiously.

The hawker took advantage of this Lantern Festival night to shout hard, the most lively day of the year is at this moment, the silver earned this year can be worth three months of work for himself, you must know that the official lady and the noble son are partial to some strange things.

In modern times, she has long longed for the scene of thousands of families and happy families described in the ancient scriptures, although she has crossed into the Shang Dynasty, but her father and mother think that she is too young, in order to protect her safety and not allow her to go out, and she is even more busy because of the affairs of the Peerless Fang, so she came to the Shang Dynasty for 16 years, the number of times she went out can be said to be very few.

Of course, there were days when I used to go out to play, but I also needed to be with the second brother and third sister, where is there such freedom at this moment, thinking of this, Lin Xiangwan sighed, but her eyes touched the fireworks in this prosperous world, and the joyful atmosphere diluted the slightest sadness, so she ran around the streets.

People come and go, and the river is endless. There were also veiled women and sons walking side by side shyly on the street, presumably a pair of lovers, and a woman in coarse cloth clothes with her child gathered around the sugar gourd, and the child ate very happily, and the woman must have been the child's mother, and she gently reminded the child to eat slowly.

Lin Xiangwan was like a bird released from a cage, shuttling through the crowd, his eyes lit up, and he suddenly rushed to the candy seller and took a candy man in the shape of a maid.

"This sugar gourd must be delicious!" Lin Xiangwan held a bunch of strange things in his hand, and said excitedly to Zisu next to him, but his footsteps had already stepped out.

"Okay Miss, I'll buy it. Zi Su smiled gently, walked up to the old man, took out a few pieces of broken silver from his waist, and handed them to the old man, who took it happily, "Thank you for this young lady." ”

Shiso handed it to Lin Xiangwan, she couldn't resist the temptation of sweet silk, and happily bought three or two skewers, pulled up the corner of the veil, and only exposed her mouth to bite the sugar gourd, the unique sour and sweet of hawthorn invaded the five senses, and the taste was indeed delicious.

"Thank you Shiso! It's delicious, why don't you taste it too?" she took the sugar gourd wrapped in brown sugar and held it up in the air, and the sugar gourds were like strings of colored lanterns hanging on the street, reflecting a faint warm yellow under the illumination of the lanterns, emitting a soft shimmer, which was very beautiful.

"Thank you, Miss. Shiso's gaze was ethereal, looking at the tall buildings in the distance, and his eyes were deep.

Lin Xiang was excited to buy all the old man's sugar gourds home, so that his father and second brother, who were busy with palace affairs after a while, could taste the delicious sugar gourds when they came home. And the third sister and her mother, saying that she was too young to take her out to other countries to play, so she had to sneak out, Xueji was still very good.

... But I guess they've eaten a lot of delicious food, right?

When the old man heard that Lin Xiangwan in front of him was actually going to buy all his sugar gourds, he looked up timidly. This young lady has clear and bright eyes, and her demeanor is dignified, if it is not for the special etiquette teaching, she will never be able to walk out of the appearance of a light step and give birth to a lotus, and she will know at a glance that she is the daughter of a big family.

The old man was very grateful in his heart, and kept thanking him, the deep wrinkles on his face like the lines on the old tree trunk were wrinkled together excitedly, Lin Xiangwan looked at his excitement, and his heart was also infected by this happiness emanating from within.

After giving the gift, she replied: "Uncle don't care, I see that the sugar gourd is delicious, and I want my relatives to taste this rare delicacy together, but I want to thank the old man for his exquisite craftsmanship." ”

Lin Xiangwan walked around, looked up, a high-rise building came into view, and he couldn't see where the commanding height was, just because the night sky was a little misty tonight, swirling around the high-rise building, which was Tianxing Pavilion, the biggest amusement place in the entire Xueji.

Although sometimes she will see Tianxing Pavilion when she comes out to buy materials and inspect the Stunning Workshop, but the Tianxing Pavilion at night is so spectacular, Lin Xiangwan opened her lips in surprise, but she smiled again, she was originally going to come to Tianxing Pavilion to join in the fun, and she also put the "Tian" brand given to her by the second brother at the perilla, without further ado, let's go!

Under the eaves of each floor of Tianxing Pavilion, copper wind chimes are hung, and in the gentle breeze, the wind chimes shake gently, and the crisp sound can be miles away.

Tianxing Pavilion is divided into the main building and the auxiliary building, the main building is used to receive all the guests, there is a special entertainment place for the entertainment of dignitaries and nobles, there is the largest gambling house in Xueji, there are often people spend a lot of money here, there is also a place for the common people to listen to the book, it is interesting. The annex building is used to receive guests, it is said that you can live in the annex of Tianxing Pavilion, either the power is monstrous, or the influence in various countries is very high, even if you have a thousand taels of gold, but if there is no recognition or appreciation of the owner of Tianxing Pavilion, give the "Tian" building card engraved with Tianxing Pavilion, and you will not be able to enter the annex building in your life.

Most of the people who come to the main building of Tianxing Pavilion are royal nobles, just because the consumption in Tianxing Pavilion is not something that ordinary people can afford.

Of course, ordinary people also have a good place to go to the amusement park. There are hundreds of dramas staged here, which makes Tianxing Pavilion earn money every day, and the money rolls in, but it allows it to improve its internal amusement facilities.

Lantern Night happens to be the annual auction of Tianxing Pavilion, which is said to gather otherworldly treasures from the entire Shang Dynasty. According to Shisu, one of the methods of the auction is very simple, and the highest bidder wins, which is no different from the auction in the previous life.

The other way to auction is fun, and it is a competition. The Pavilion Master will randomly select one of the treasures collected as a lottery to heat up the atmosphere before the auction starts.

Therefore, the auction is not only to look at the financial resources, but also to see the strength, if you come to the treasure is selected by the landlord as the auction before the auction to win the lottery, then I'm sorry, it depends on whether you are qualified to take away, so many dignitaries will also spend a higher price to hire first-class martial arts swordsmen, swordsmen or masters with unique skills for them to participate in the lottery.

This auction conference not only gathered the powerful people from all over the world, but also the masters. Many people from all over the world come not only for the treasures, but also to witness the rare masters.

Zi Su kept up with Lin Xiangwan's pace unhurriedly, and then told Lin Xiangwan everything she knew about Tianxing Pavilion, Lin Xiangwan smiled with interest, squinting her eyes at Zi Su who was distracted.

Shiso she... She knows a lot, but now she understands a little.

"The gimmick of the auction conference found by Tianxing Pavilion is extremely ingenious, and it is no wonder that it can become the first floor of Xueji while making a lot of money. Lin Xiangwan thought for a moment and said slowly.

"It's really exquisite. Zi Su said slowly, but he had other plans in his heart.

Wuxin came to look for her a few days ago, saying that there was a siege in the secret building in Tianxing Pavilion, and she must also appear in Tianxing Pavilion to assist the master to complete the commission, she is a secret agent of the secret building, and she has been a person in the secret building all her life, although she is a maid by the side of the young lady, and she is also collecting all kinds of information about Xue Ji, but she has no intention of coming to her, which means that...

The master knows what she's doing!

At this time, Lin Xiangwan, who had already walked to the front of Tianxing Pavilion, had a veil tied to his face, and was wearing a simple and elegant blue dress, which made others unrecognizable, and when he glanced inside, the building was already crowded with people.

Shisu followed her unhurriedly, not saying a word.

The guards guarding the door at the entrance of Tianxing Pavilion, Lin Xiangwan turned around and glanced at Zisu, Zisu comprehended, took out the building card of Tianxing Pavilion from his waist and gave it to the guard, the guard took it and used his fingers to confirm the specific pattern behind the building card, nodded, returned the building card to Zisu, bowed to them half-bent, and invited them to enter the building.

Stepping into the banquet hall of Tianxing Pavilion, there are one hundred and forty ever-bright lanterns, and the lights and shadows are sufficient, and the brilliance envelops the entire palace. The banquet hall is amazingly big, there is a horizontal street in the south of the banquet hall, the tooth road willow path is paved with the felt of alien customs, the center of the banquet hall is the water temple platform, there is a red flower on the temple platform, it is very fresh, it seems to bloom on the palace platform. Surrounded by willow trees in the pond, there are flower boats docked next to the palace, and the ladies of the official family who have enough silver taels can get on the boat and go outside to enjoy the night view, instead of staying in the Tianxing Pavilion, which is an ingenious way to relieve boredom.

She came to the storyteller, and the gentleman in the cloth and green clothes opened the white jade fan in his hand and said: "It is rumored that there is a shop in Xueji City that specializes in coloring the fruit, one of which is to soak the color with patina green water to keep the color of the fruit bright for a long time. He paused appropriately, trying to arouse everyone's interest. Then he seized the opportunity to tell the story again.

The second is that when the fruit is about to ripen, the rice paper is cut and glued, and the fruit is baked day and night with morning and night dewdrops, and the fruit gradually turns red, and the peel texture of the fruit is born along the paper pattern of the rice paper. ”

She listened to the storyteller's loud tone, looked at his eyebrows and danced with his expression, and was only amazed, she didn't expect that the skills of the Shang Dynasty mainland were also so advanced.

It seems that she really doesn't have much knowledge! If she finishes dealing with the affairs of the Peerless Workshop in the future, she will take Zisu and her second brother out more.
