Chapter 232: Bright Moon Tower
"A flower party on the Begging Festival?"
Hong Fan sighed.
"I read what was written on the invitation, it was the night of the seventh day of the seventh month."
He opened the invitation card to confirm, and the red paper and black letters were really good.
"So what does this 'flower tasting meeting' mean?"
Listening to Hong Fan's question, Wu Hongyan smiled faintly.
"No matter how elegant Mingyue Tower is, it is also a green building, what do you mean?"
She folded her arms.
"Pinhua will be an elegant saying, in fact, it is the three largest green buildings in Xijing City each push one person, than the head of the meeting - put it in the mouth of the people, it is the Oiran."
Her tone was slightly disdainful.
"I wonder why the surname Lu is so generous?"
Bai Jiaci said.
"He's usually pretending to be poor and empty, and everyone knows it."
"We've known each other for a long time, and I've never even seen him invite a drink, but this time it's so chic - I remember that the lowest table at the flower tasting meeting last year also cost 100 taels of silver!"
He wondered.
A table of 100 yuan is equivalent to eating more than a dozen acres of good land at one table.
Hearing this price, Zhan Yuanzi scratched his head, Wu Ruyi stared, and even Hong Fan was a little surprised.
However, he naturally knew the reason why Lu Yunshi was suddenly heroic.
On Qifeng Mountain, the three thousand taels of property that were finally scattered by the chewing bones were privately divided by the ten Tiqi, and each of them got three hundred.
Then, the place of the movement got the thirty or forty thousand taels of goods in the cliff village, and in the name of coming to the ceremony, one person sealed two hundred.
The two items add up, and Lu Yunshi alone has five hundred taels in the account.
Now spend a hundred and two to show that it is completely within his affordability.
"I don't like fireworks venues very much, but Lu Yunshi sent an invitation so solemnly, naturally I can't refute his face."
Hong Fan said, looking at several teammates.
"So are you going to go to this hundred seats?"
This question touches the soul.
"Since someone pays the bill, wouldn't it be stupid for me not to go!"
Bai Jiaci mustered up the courage to be the first to say, but he didn't dare to look at Si Ye.
"I've never been a good woman."
"But Mingyue Lou's roasted deer tendon and fried phoenix tongue are all famous dishes in Xijing, and the flower tasting will be said to be for ten years of Chen pear blossom white, there is this opportunity, how should I go to taste it."
"Then I'll take a look, too?"
Zhan Yuanzi said a question, and he didn't know who he wanted to answer.
"Women have always been like floating clouds to me."
"But I heard that the moon tower carved fence jade, beautiful, if you can see with your own eyes, I can't say that I can produce a few good paintings."
Wu Hongyan has not moved so far.
So Wu Ruyi's courage also increased.
"Is it really that great?"
She blinked.
"I can't be a good woman anyway, or I'll go with ......."
Just as Wu Ruyi was halfway through his words, a chill suddenly came from the side.
She turned her face away and found her mother staring at her coldly.
"Ah, I'm laughing!"
Wu Ruyi said immediately, his voice fluttering.
"Mother, don't get me wrong......"
When Wu Hongyan heard this, she snorted angrily.
"I can't go if I want, and I can't control the guys."
"Man, anyway, it's not close to women, I just want to go to the Qinglou, but what?"
She shook her head and filled herself another bowl of chicken soup.
The moon climbed to the top, and most of the food was wiped out.
A few people went to the kitchen to thank Aunt Liu and the peach and willow green, and then took a walk in the garden on the side of the Asahi Mansion.
When the scene was about to end, Zhan Yuanzi came to Hong Fan's side.
"There's something I'd like to ask you to help with."
"I wonder if you can borrow my empty room and put some things for the time being?"
He spoke, embarrassed.
"Of course, I don't have anything else, but there are a lot of empty houses."
Hong Fan replied.
"What do you want to put in it?"
"It's just some paintings that haven't been sold, but have been saved."
Zhan Yuanzi replied.
"When the house I rented expired, the landlord wanted to increase the price by 20%, so I planned to find a new place to live, and I had to move my things out first."
"Aren't you going too far, then?"
Hong Fan laughed when he heard this.
"There are still more than a dozen empty rooms in my Asahi Mansion, but what are you looking for outside? Just move over! ”
Zhan Yuanzi instinctively wanted to refuse.
At this time, everyone was passing by the pavilion by the pool.
The heart of the wave reflects the moon, and the long wind is blowing.
In the endless summer or swaying, a few blue and blue tears will be shed.
Zhan Yuanzi caught a glimpse of this scene, but he couldn't say anything if he refused.
"Then it's decided!"
Hong Fan patted him on the shoulder.
"Don't talk about any rent, after you move here, you can choose some proud paintings to make, decorate the empty space in the house, and you will clear it."
Zhan Yuanzi's heart warmed, and he finally nodded heavily - the rent saved every year was not a small amount for him.
Seeing this, Bai Jiaci also came over.
Hong Fan naturally understood what he was thinking.
"If you want, you can also return the rented house and live there."
"Let's talk about it first, the family's food money every month can be calculated to Aunt Liu in time; She's thin-skinned, and she won't dare to take an account from you. ”
Bai Jiaci was overjoyed and agreed.
After this matter was decided, this step could not be dispersed, and everyone went home.
On the second day, Zhan Bai and the others moved over with their belongings.
Along with the latter, there are two raccoon slaves, one orange and one white, who are so happy that they laugh all day long and curry favor with dried fish.
······
In the blink of an eye, ten days have passed.
On the seventh day of the seventh month, the Begging Festival.
At the beginning of the lanterns, Hong Fan and Zhan Bai went out of the mansion, crossed the Xianzun Bridge, and went north along the Yao River to Xijingcheng.
When turning the mouth of Wangjiang Lane, the slanting sun has been blocked by the city wall.
Under the bright moon, the bright moon tower appears in shape.
The building is eight floors high, uplift 12 zhang, green tile Zhu Ying, Tong door color window.
Pedestrians look up at the brilliance, see the heavy eaves, listen to the noise of the river tide, and have a sense of dizziness.
"This is the tallest and most gorgeous pavilion I have ever seen in Liangzhou."
Hong Fan stopped and sighed.
He turned his eyes to look at the pedestrians on the street, and all he saw was silk and satin, hanging gold and purple.
There are also many luxury buildings standing along the river.
The river breeze passed by, bringing out some tactful tunes and light fragrances, but there was no black miasma of the heavily makeup woman in the Yanliu Lane of Jinhai City.
"There is this first floor, but it compares Hongyi City to the bottom."
Bai Jiaci's eyes also widened.
"I've been coming to Xijing for a long time, and even if I used to take a walk, I avoided this Wangjiang Alley."
"Lao Zhan, have you ever been here?"
He asked casually, but didn't hear a reply, but found that Zhan Yuanzi's eyes were straight, as if he wanted to rub the scenery in front of him into his mind.
In this scene, the answer is not asked.
When Zhan Yuanzi breathed a sigh of relief and came to his senses, it was already after a few breaths.
"The hour has come, let's go."
Hong Fan said, and first went up the stone steps of white marble.
Zhan Yuanzi followed.
Only Bai Jiaci hesitated slightly, sorted out the silk shirt back and forth, and saw that the two companions were getting farther away, so he hurriedly followed.
The jade step is eighteen, and at the back is a bright red double-open gate.
There were three pairs of male and female attendants in front of the door, all of whom were of high appearance.
Hong Fan was about to step forward to talk, when he heard the sound of a horsewhip behind the long street.
When everyone turned around, they saw a gorgeous carriage drawn by four jade horses rushing all the way to the crowd and slowly stopping in front of the steps.
