Section 353 Lodge
Part 1 Staggered Time and Space Chapter 4 The Journey of the Kingdom of Li
Section 353 Lodge
Yueqing sat in the carriage and pondered all the way, Qiao'er didn't know what she was thinking, and looked at her expression carefully all the way.
The carriage stopped, and Yueqing came back to her senses. "Have you arrived?"
Yue Ke lifted the door curtain: "It's here, Miss come down." ”
Yueqing settled down and got out of the car with his support.
Qi Jiao was holding the reins under the car, and Chang Shen had already dismounted and waited in front of the car. Yueqing saw that Chang Rong was also there, and said strangely: "Chang Rong came back so soon, so what about He Jicheng?" ”
Chang Rong said: "Miss don't worry, it's done, I will send him to the inn run by the Yue family, and he will be watched by Qingwei and kept that he can't run out before Miss returns to the other courtyard." ”
Yueqing let go of her doubts, "I see, it's quite fast." ”
Chang Rong said: "I am the only one by Miss's side of the Red Guard now, and after a long delay, I am afraid that there will be changes on Miss's side." ”
Yueqing said: "With Qi Jiao here, what changes can be made." ”
Chang Rong: "You can't let Jiao lead them in everything, and the Red Guard has become an ornament if it is not complete." ”
Yueqing raised her eyebrows, she couldn't push people too quickly: "Okay, there is some truth in what you said." ”
As he spoke, Shi Rong's carriage had already arrived, and Shi Rong came over and said, "I should really come on a horse today, Brother Yue Ke let me sit in the carriage alone and be bored." ”
After speaking, he looked at Qi Jiao's horse that had no idleness.
Qi Jiao understood and said coldly: "My horse is not borrowed." ”
Shi Rong smiled dryly.
There were a few people running in front of him, the first one was short and fat, with a round head and round head, and said with a smile: "General Shi, General Shi can be counted, but I have a bad expectation, just waiting for you here." A few of you, why don't you go and lead the horses for you. ”
A few people behind them immediately stepped forward to help them lead the horses.
After the man finished the order, he came to the crowd again: "Ouch, today's distinguished guest is here, and I don't know what to say when I am excited." Oh, I forgot to say, I am the shopkeeper of the Jiyi Pavilion, and my name is Wu Shangxing. The county lord and the nobles have anything to do, but according to orders, the private room inside is ready. According to the nobleman's instructions, the private rooms on both sides were also vacated, and no one disturbed them. ”
Wu Shangxing kept making a fuss as he spoke, and kept inviting them inside.
Yueqing thought it was funny to hear his name, and smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Wu's name is good, does it mean that you want to prosper in business?" ”
Wu Shangxing nodded and said, "What the county lord said is too right, that's what he meant." ”
Aren't most people hoping that their children will make a difference in their careers?
Wu Shangxing said with a smile: "The county lord doesn't know, Li is different from other countries, and the business path and official career in Li are equally important, and my Wu family also has a career together." ”
Yue Qing said: "Oh, so that's the case, Qin Youdao in such a Qingfeng Restaurant is also similar to you, and the children of the palace also have to do business." Speaking of which, Shi Rong, your family is like this. ”
Shi Rong was embarrassed, although their family was also in business and in the army. But this heritage cannot be compared with the Wu family and the Qin Wangfu. "The county lord laughed, my Shi family's heritage can't be compared with the Wu family."
Wu Shangxing said with a smile: "General Shi is too modest, your Shi family and King Bowei are in-laws, one is prosperous, the other is lost, and there is Concubine Shi in the palace to rely on." Where is it like my Wu family, there is no backing in the palace. ”
Shi Rong smiled and didn't accept this.
Yueqing glanced back and forth between them a few times, and her eyes were directed towards the majestic building complex in front of her, which was not very high, and the highest was only three floors. But the area is very large, and the welcome gate alone looks very majestic.
Yueqing asked, "Shopkeeper Wu, do all these attics belong to the Jiyi Pavilion?" ”
Wu Shangxing said with a smile: "Of course it's not, there is only this attic in the Jiyi Pavilion, and this whole area belongs to the song and dance workshop, and there are many interesting places here." ”
Yueqing nodded: "It's all run by your family?" ”
Wu Shangxing hurriedly waved his hand and said: "How can this be, I, Wu Ke, don't dare to be so big, not to mention other families' industries, the royal family alone will account for thirty percent of this." And my Wu family's property only accounts for 30% of it. ”
Yueqing looked at him, this seemed to be modest, but in fact she was boasting, which was on par with the proportion of the royal family's industry.
However, Yueqing didn't care about this, and only asked: "You just said that there are a lot of fun places, that's great, I want to have a good time." ”
Wu Shangxing hurriedly said: "The county lord can't let it, this pavilion can be entered, but some other industries in it may not be able to enter, it is a place where men can go, women can't go." ”
Yueqing thought for a moment and glanced at Yue Ke beside her. "What's the place where the men go?"
Yue Ke coughed: "Miss, what Shopkeeper Wu said is very right, it's better not to go." There are a lot of fun things in this pavilion, you will know when you go in. ”
Yueqing said, "Okay." Let's go inside. ”
Wu Shangxing nodded and said, "Yes, yes, let's go in and take a look." ”
Everyone walked through a long corridor of reception before they really arrived in the hall of the Jiyi Pavilion, Yueqing's eyes lit up, and she looked at this place with a new face.
This place is really big, not only big, but the architectural design is also very bold, you can see from the outside that it is not the direction, and the feeling will be clearer when you come in. There are three floors up and down, and each floor has eight spaces, which are covered by a veil, which should be the private rooms that Wu Shangxing said. The whole space is full of dark tones, and even the veil is a deep red color, which looks very solemn.
Although solemn, the three-story guest house is not the most attractive to Yueqing, the most attractive thing is the central area, not to mention the tables and chairs on the first floor, the oversized booth. The booth alone in mid-air is very spectacular, four stairs will be connected to a large booth connected to the chain to push into the air, the booth is surrounded by a big red lantern, scattered hanging in the air, is also a crimson color, I don't know how the architect built, only the four stairs can firmly set such a large booth in mid-air, you know, the technology here is not comparable to modern.
However, there are not no such buildings in this era, Yueqing has at least carefully looked at two places, one is the treasure building in Xibao City, and the architectural style in it is even bolder than this one. The other place is the altar dungeon where the spirit girl tested, and the design of the Jiyi Pavilion is too far from the dungeon. But it is also stunning enough for the moonlight, not only to amaze the magnificence here, but also to amaze the fact that there is such an architectural design outside the villa.
Seeing Yueqing's obsessive look, the satisfaction on Wu Shangxing's face was obvious.
Yue Ke and the others were not surprised, after all, there were countless towering buildings in the villa, which could be nothing. What's more, being able to build like this at this time is more or less influenced by some mountain villas.
Yueqing looked at it for a long time before she came back to her senses, and said to Wu Shangxing: "Shopkeeper Wu, you can build this pavilion." It's spectacular. ”
Wu Shangxing waved his hand and said: "Where is it, compared with the Treasure Tower, it is far less than one or two." ”
Yueqing was stunned for a moment: "Shopkeeper Wu has also been to Jubaolou?" ”
Wu Shangxing said: "Of course I have been there, Jubaolou is the most desirable place for our businessmen. Not only have I been there, but I've been there more than once, and I have a lot of treasures in my house that I bought from the Treasure House. ”
Yueqing smiled and nodded: "Even if it is not as good as the Treasure Tower, your Sending Pavilion is also very impressive to me." Just looking at this hall is worth it today. ”
Wu Shangxing hurriedly said: "Ouch, the county lord is really good at talking." ”
Yueqing asked, "What are the activities in your Pavilion?" ”
Wu Shangxing shook his head and said: "If you want to say that there are any activities in this pavilion, there are too many, you can listen to music, you can listen to books, you can enjoy dances, and you can also appreciate people." When you get to the private room, you can do even more, eating, drinking, talking about the past, talking about the present, reciting poems, composing, appreciating paintings, listening to music, and everything. Every month, there will be special events, martial arts competitions, and goods for sale, all of which are rare. Sometimes there are some beasts juggling to watch. Anyway, I'm here to find a happy life. ”
Yueqing appreciated: "Well, there are indeed a lot of tricks." No wonder there are so many people here. So that's singing on this stage now? ”
Wu Shangxing: "Yes, this is a drama of a filial daughter selling herself to save her father." ”
Yueqing nodded.
Wu Shangxing said, "The view on this floor is not good, let's go to the private room on the second floor, where we can see more clearly." Come, the group leader come with me. ”
Saying that, Wu Shangxing led everyone to the second floor.
The steps to the second floor are also curved upwards and are very wide. There are a lot of guests in the building, coming and going, up and down. Some people look at them and look back at them from time to time. Yueqing was on the stairs to the second floor, and saw two women sitting in the guest room on the first floor, and looked over there twice.
"I didn't expect there to be a female guest like us."
Wu Shangxing said: "Of course there are female guests, there are often dignitaries and nobles here who bring their wives and concubines to listen to music, and there are also many young ladies in the boudoir who come with their fathers and brothers. ”
Yueqing gestured to the room below, "Is that the same there?" ”
Wu Shangguang looked at it and said, "That's not it, those are the female heroes in the Jianghu sect." They are informal, and there are many women who go out. Everyone who comes is a guest, and no matter what kind of person we have here, we welcome anyone here. ”
Yue Qing said: "Well, it's the first time I've seen a heroine in the rivers and lakes." ”
As they spoke, they had reached the second floor, which was much quieter than the first floor, and there were not many people in the corridor. Most of them are juniors who provide services and attendants who guard the door.
Yueqing looked while walking, and found that there were actually many attendants wearing special costumes. There were a few attendants with knives standing outside one of the rooms, and they were looked at by Yueqing a few more times. All of them had one thing in common: they had a very dark complexion, like the captive that Yueqing had brought back a few days ago.
The attendants saw Yueqing staring at them, their faces were not good, but they didn't dare to attack because of Qi Jiao and the others. Just watched them closely.
Yueqing came back to her senses, crossed a distance between them, and asked Wu Shangxing: "Shopkeeper Wu, what are these people?" ”
Wu Shangxing said: "That is the eleventh prince of the former King of Gaya, who congratulated the Queen Mother on her birthday on behalf of the Gaya, and I heard that he brought a princess with him. ”
"Gaya?" Sure enough, it was the man who captured the same country. "Didn't I hear that the two countries are at war?"
Wu Shangxing whispered: "The county lord can be quiet, although the battle is fighting, our Li country is one of the four major powers, and it is normal for Gaya to send envoys to come." ”
Yueqing nodded in understanding.
After walking for a while, Wu Shangxing said that their private room had arrived.
At the door, Xiao Er opened the door, and Yueqing and the others walked in.
After really coming in, I found that the inner space is more luxurious, divided into three floors, the outer room is for guests to watch the performance of the central hall, next to the door is the window, the window is wide open, even the door with the window is covered by a thick veil, what is inside and what is not visible from the outside. The middle space is the largest, with a lot of seating, a table of eight immortals in the center, and a table next to the table for guests to call in to perform. Two screens separate the entire area. There is a door between the middle and the outside, which can be closed to block the sound from the outside. There is also a room in the innermost room, which is equipped with a soft couch, which is obviously for guests to rest. The furnishings in the private room are more extravagant than those of Qingfeng Restaurant. It seems that the business here must be better than Qingfeng Restaurant. The design of this pavilion has unmodern elements, and Yueqing sighed in her heart that the wisdom of the ancients was superb.
After looking around, he turned to the outer room and sat down.
Wu Shangxing saw that people were finally tired and relieved. I was busy arranging for Xiao Er to prepare some side dishes and send them over.
After talking with Shi Rong and others, he withdrew.
Yue Ke and the others sat down around Yueqing, and accompanied Yueqing to listen to the little songs that were babbling outside.
