Volume 1, The Imperial Capital, Chapter 14, The Letter on the Tea Table
Chapter 14: The Letter at the Tea Table
Life is like a cloud of smoke, the world is changeable, a spring and an autumn, a month and a month, every minute and a second, unpredictable.
Just after he saw the unsigned letter, Shen Qiuhan felt that the time had come to take the initiative.
Shen Qiuhan took Qin Yu to the most prosperous place of fireworks and willow lanes in the imperial capital - Fan Tower.
In the face of this restaurant in the imperial capital, there are already poems that describe the beauty of Fan Lou:
The restaurant in the city is high into the sky, cooking the dragon and cooking the phoenix and the fat and fresh.
Gongsun got off the horse and smelled drunk, and he did not hesitate to spend thousands of dollars on a drink.
Recruit distinguished guests, lead high sages, and sing the orchestra upstairs.
All kinds of beautiful things and delicacies, and the railings on all sides are painted eaves.
"Imperial Capital Menghualu" also recorded: three floors are high, the fifth floor is facing each other, each has a flying bridge railing, light and shade are connected, the bead curtain is embroidered, and the lights and candles are shining.
When Shen Qiuhan and the others arrived, the sky was slightly bright, and a handyman who looked like a junior in the Fan Building had just come out to extinguish the candle that had been burning all night. At this time, there was an endless stream of roadside vendors selling breakfast, but the inside of the Fan Building was particularly deserted, these handymen obviously had not slept all night, and they were extremely tired at this time, but they skillfully cleaned all corners of the Fan Building, and the techniques were skillful. After a while, the main entrance of Fan Lou took on a new look.
Shen Qiuhan led Qin Yu to stand at the door of Fan Lou, waiting for those juniors to be busy, and was about to raise his feet to step in, but he heard someone say:
"Liang Guo sang and danced, and the wine was like a knife to relieve sorrow.
I remember how happy the youth was, and the lights went up to the Fan Tower in the middle of the night. ”
Shen Qiuhan looked back, a handsome man, holding a folding fan and shaking it gently.
"Childe, you have to come at night in this Fanlou Mansion, early in the morning, the girls in this Fanlou have just gone to sleep, you come at this time..." the man pursed his lips and shook his head, and said: "Childe, I advise you to come at night." ”
"This son, why do you say that?Isn't the restaurant inn available at any time?" Qin Yu didn't know where this was, so he asked.
"Haha, this prince must have come out of the imperial capital! You don't know, this Fan Tower has the title of the first fragrant building in the imperial capital, so it is naturally worthy of its reputation at night. ”
"Xianglou?"
Seeing that he still didn't move, the prince said patiently: "This Fan Lou is not an ordinary restaurant, and the people who come here are not here to eat and drink. Of course, Fanlou's drinks and snacks are all first-class. But the most famous thing here is the singing and dancing beauty. Then the man looked unsatisfied.
"Isn't that a brothel?"
The boy looked frightened and said softly: "If the son is in other places, you can say this, but in this Fan Lou, don't say that it is a brothel, this is a taboo in Fan Lou, you must remember it." This is why they all call it Xianglou. ”
"Hmph, the bitch stands on the archway and pretends to be high. Qin Yu looked disgusted.
Shen Qiuhan thanked the dashing boy who had just come out of Fan Lou, and still took Qin Yu into Fan Lou.
"Brother Qiuhan, what are you doing here?
"If you don't want to come, go back. ”
It was naturally impossible to let him go back, so Qin Yu didn't speak, and silently followed behind Deep Qiu Han.
He had never been to such a place before, and he was very curious. As soon as I came in, I was shocked by the prosperity of the Fan Tower. Even though he had seen a lot of prosperous places, he was still shocked that such a restaurant had such complicated decorations.
Shen Qiuhan was attracted by these, and they stood in the hall on the ground floor. In the hall, the tables and chairs are neat and spotless, and the air exudes a very thick smell of flowers.
The two of them stood there for a moment before someone appeared.
A little second-looking person, seeing the two handsome young men in front of him, he was a little confused.
"Two sons, our store is closed, please come back around noon. ”
Shen Qiuhan said to Xiao Er: "We are not here to drink and eat, we are here to find someone." ”
"Looking for someone?" Xiao Er was even more confused now, but he still said: "Childe, the girls are all asleep, please come back at night." ”
"It's only morning, it's only morning, I'm sleeping now, did I go to be a thief last night?" Qin Yu didn't understand at all, so he said casually.
"Haha, this boy is really interesting. With a coquettish smile, a beautifully dressed middle-aged woman appeared, she looked graceful, like a hibiscus. The woman flicked the railing and walked down slowly, looking weak and boneless, looking particularly lazy. She stretched out her hand and waved it lightly, and the little two who had been keeping her head down since she appeared hurriedly left.
After her laughter, the man walked in front of Qin Yu and leaned very close. However, Qin Yu was not used to getting too close to strangers, so he took half a step back and distanced himself from the woman.
The woman didn't think it was disgusting her, so she straightened her huge chest, took out a silk scarf to cover her mouth and chuckled: "Haha, it's the first time for Childe to come to such a place?"
"So what?"
"No wonder Childe doesn't know, our Fan Lou can only reflect its charm at night, and Childe still came a little early. ”
The woman stared at Shen Qiuhan, a young man who had been smiling.
This is the young shopkeeper of Fan Lou, who can open a place like Fan Lou in the imperial capital and occupy the best location in the imperial capital, which is not an ordinary person. She has been running this shop for a long time, what kind of person has never seen it, she has already trained a pair of discerning eyes, she can see through Qin Yu's thoughts at a glance, but she has never been able to see through this smiling young man.
"Since Childe is here for the first time, as long as the people you are looking for have here, I will immediately call them up to serve the two Childe. ”
"No need, the person we are looking for, as long as I go to your Houxiangyuan, I can see her, and I don't have to bother my sister. ”
When Shen Qiuhan said the three words Hou Xiangyuan, the shopkeeper's face stiffened a lot.
"Childe is joking! This is a place for the girls to rest, how can irrelevant people enter and exit casually. ”
Shen Qiuhan didn't respond, still smiling, looking into her eyes.
"Childe, who are you looking for, tell my sister, and my sister will call someone for you. But then Xiangyuan really couldn't let Childe in. ”
Shen Qiuhan still smiled and said, "What if we have to go?"
When Qin Yu heard this, he thought that Shen Qiuhan was here to find fault, she was broken, he had been bored since he came to the imperial capital, he didn't expect to be able to do it when he came out today, he had long wanted to move his muscles.
The woman's face became even more ugly, her eyes flashed with cold light, and she said viciously: "If the son is looking for trouble, then my Fan Lou is not a vegetarian." ”
"I think there are also worship masters in the Fan Tower! Sister can call out and see if they have the ability to stop me. ”
To open such a restaurant in the imperial capital to accommodate princes and generals and all kinds of powerful people, it is all necessary to be careful to wander among various forces and exist independently, without offending these bigwigs.
Today's person, what is her identity is still unclear, if it is an ordinary person, it is naturally after today, there is no such person in the imperial capital, but if it is a noble son, who travels abroad all the year round, he doesn't know him, and it is not good to offend.
There was some jealousy in her heart, and she didn't dare to say too much.
"Childe, can you tell me who you are, are you looking for someone or something?"
"What are you talking about? Didn't you hear my brother say? What kind of Houxiangyuan do you want us to go directly, or do you break in?"
"Who the hell is Childe?" The woman is now losing patience. At this time, in the dark place in the front building, there were already four or five more masters.
"Shen family, Shen Qiuhan. ”
The woman thought silently in her heart, and clearly determined that there was no rich family with a deep surname in the imperial capital. Since he is not from the imperial capital, the eldest son of the big clan from other places can't spread wild to the imperial capital, so what else is there to say.
With a flick of the man's silk scarf, the five powerhouses attacked from all directions.
Shen Qiuhan stretched out his hand to push Qin Yu aside, he waved his own backhand, and the sword hidden in his sleeve was sent, a cold light crossed, and dozens of swords collided sounded in a row, and after a gust of wind dispersed, the five people all fell to the ground in embarrassment.
The shopkeeper was already stunned at this time, a fifteen-year-old boy had defeated five masters of the Stygian Sea Realm with only one sword, how strong was this?
And she thought that such a genius boy would never come from an ordinary family, and the forces behind it were absolutely so strong that she Fan Lou could not afford to offend.
"Sister, can you let me go to Houxiangyuan to find someone now?"
The woman was stunned for a moment, and said with an embarrassed face: "Childe, please come with me." ”
It wasn't just that person who was surprised, Qin Yu was also surprised, but what surprised her was not Shen Qiuhan's terrifying cultivation, but the strength that he had been trying his best to hide, why did he use all his strength when he came up today.
As the shopkeeper passed through the front building, walked across the covered bridge, crossed the middle building, and bypassed the west building of the courtyard, he came to a building complex in the backyard. Here the moon gate is written on the three words of Houxiangyuan.
Along the way, Qin Yu found that the tall building of Fan Lou, the fifth floor is standing, the height is staggered, reflecting each other, there is a flying bridge between the five buildings for people to come and go, and there are corridors inside the building for people to go up and down, these facilities are interconnected, forming a harmonious whole - Fan Lou, if there is really no familiar person to lead the way, it is really difficult to get around.
