Chapter 435: Man Tingfang
Man Tingfang, the most luxurious Fengyue field in the capital, there is no one.
It is located in the green lotus square on the west side of the two cities, close to the lotus market, is the only green building in the capital that occupies both commercial and residential land, and fully occupies nearly half of the residential land of the green lotus square, which is a strange flower in the treasure land of the capital with clear distinction in the square city.
What's even more strange is that this Qinglou is actually a restaurant in the official booklet, so it can be opened in the Fang District in a grand manner, and Feng Zhiping's first reaction after learning about it was - this treasury is in the hands of the royal family, but I don't know if it is King Rui or the prince and You Jinglian.
In fact, Man Tingfang is not strictly speaking a green building in the traditional sense, and it covers a wider range of projects than Zuijin Building.
In addition to the traditional amorous field, there are also many facilities such as a casino, a misty hall (smoke hall), a music hall (a serious good artist), a library pavilion, a martial arts platform (ring) and a small but well-equipped horse farm.
The participants in these competitions are varied, including ordinary people who don't know martial arts, masters of the rivers and lakes who have been invited with a lot of money, beasts and monsters obtained through unknown channels, and it is said that there was once a fierce Jiao who was about to turn into a dragon, which almost caused a big disaster.
Regardless of whether the person on the field is a human or a demon, one thing is the same - real swords and real guns, life and death fight, only the winner can end up alive, and defeat is death, with very few exceptions.
The dark and bloody event attracted a large number of spectators, some for catharsis, some out of curiosity, and some of them were not right-hearted, and they did not dare to mess around because of the national law and family law, so they could only release evil thoughts in this way.
Niu Chunhan didn't hear more detailed information, not because of his lack of ability, but because the circle was too strong.
As I said before, the guests who can participate must be qualified, there is no fixed standard for evaluation, the review power is in the hands of Man Tingfang, only those who are invited can join that circle, without invitation, it is useless to smash a mountain of gold.
Sheng Taiyang said that he was reluctant to come, that is not self-modesty, as the top social field in the capital, Man Tingfang's consumption can be imagined.
Spending a lot of money is basic, the table of one hundred and ten taels outside has to be at least ten times more than here, too expensive to turn around the door over there, ask is the celebrity chef's craftsmanship dedication, and this is just the price of the banquet, if you want a beauty to accompany the wine, the cost is calculated separately, usually two to eighty percent of the price of the banquet, if you invite the head of the popular famous prostitute, the price code is even greater, like Feng Zhiping and You Jinglian when they first saw each other The scene of throwing silver often appears here.
Sitting in Sheng Taiyang's carriage, the two of them went all the way to the Green Lotus Fang, and the four big-character archways of "Jade Lotus Flyfly" were hanging high, and Feng Zhiping knew that the word "Green Lotus" in the Green Lotus Square did not refer to the same thing, but three things.
"Actually, it's five. Sheng Taiyang shook the folding fan and smiled.
Feng Zhiping was puzzled: "Lotus, lotus leaf, dragonfly, three things, is jade also counted?
"It's not jade, it's summer and rain. Sheng Taiyang shook his fingers, "You think, only in summer the lotus leaves will be green, and on rainy days dragonflies will sit on the lotus petals, so these four words imply the five characteristics of the green lotus square, the green lotus square on a rainy day in summer is the most beautiful, although it is autumn now, but you can still appreciate one or two." ”
Your dragonflies only landed when it rained, and our dragonflies in Quanzhou fell like rain, and the dragonflies in the capital are not the same?
Feng Zhiping couldn't bear to scold his mother, he was too lazy to get entangled with Sheng Taiyang's sourness, and politely smiled and looked away.
Sheng Taiyang didn't see that Feng Zhiping was not interested, he chatted with interest, especially couldn't stop talking, folded the fan and poked Feng Zhiping, and smiled mysteriously and rippling.
"Actually, there is another meaning, you can't say it, can you guess it?"
Feng Zhiping retracted his gaze from the slender body outside the car, glanced at Sheng Taiyang's rich smile, pouted and snorted: "The little lotus is pointy, the dragonflies are fluttering, the spring buds are blooming in summer, and the autumn is wilting and hibernating." ”
Sheng Taiyang was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, pointing at Feng Zhiping and slapping his thigh and laughing: "It's bullshit, but it's very 'philosophical', you are really a fellow practitioner!"
Feng Zhiping rolled his eyes, he is very pure, okay, obviously you want to be crooked!
But seriously, there are really a lot of splendor in the Green Lotus Fang, far better than the previous square areas passing by.
In the middle of the joke, the car arrived at Mantingfang, the carriage was parked in front of the door, and men with different temperaments continued to enter the gate under the guidance of the welcome, and their frames were led to a special location to park.
"Let's go. ”
Sheng Taiyang patted Feng Zhiping and got out of the carriage first.
Feng Zhiping followed, and when he came to the door, a Bai Jing greeter in his thirties took the first step in front of him.
"Master Shan, long time no see!"
The white man bowed his hand, not the turtle slave's small and low, but the etiquette between scholars.
Feng Zhiping was surprised, looked at the man again, and Sheng Taiyang next to him returned the salute, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhongchuan, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you lately? Don't call me an adult in private, I'm here to play, it's awkward." ”
Zhong Chuan was stunned, and turned his eyes to look at Feng Zhiping: "This must be the third young master of the Sword Marquis Shizi, right?
In other words, a salute to the ground is completely different from treating Sheng Taiyang.
Feng Zhiping is not surprised, although he has no official or position, but the prince of the Sword Marquis Mansion will inherit the title in the future, and he is a real nobleman.
Seeing that Changkong was not a turtle slave with a full court, he should be a guest tonight, and he befriended the master to welcome the guests on his behalf, Feng Zhiping returned the salute with a meticulous smile, and when Changkong got up, he touched Sheng Taiyang and asked, "Your friend, don't you want to introduce me?"
Said as he walked. ”
Sheng Taiyang pushed the two of them into the door one by one, and then Chang Kong led the way, and Sheng Taiyang introduced the origin of this person to Feng Zhiping a little behind.
Sure enough, Changkong is not a turtle slave, but a serious reader, Zhongchuan is his cousin, and Sheng Taiyang accidentally became a poetry friend, and they also passed the same subject, and both fell off the list, so they are quite familiar with each other.
The difference is that Sheng Taiyang only failed once, and the second time he was hit, and although this person is quite talented, but from a humble background, he firmly believed in the sage training in the books when he was young, and he was upright and a little proud, and the result was that he failed in three exams.
Maybe it was because he saw Sheng Taiyang sitting in the treasurer at a young age, and he was still in white clothes, full of ambition and nowhere to show, thinking back on ten years of waste, he finally woke up to the fact that this time the big exam was the same as the light, and he took the path of an adult in the ministry, presumably he should be able to be on the list this time. Worry-free Literature Network
Sheng Taiyang only said the first half, and the rest were all guessed by Feng Zhiping, which is not difficult to guess, this person is stupid to read, and believes the nonsense in the book that I don't know if the deity has really said, and you have to rely on your own talent if you don't go, as a result, his talent can't get into the eyes of the examiners to break the routine, so he fell off the list one after another, and he suffered for ten years.
Fortunately, this person has figured it out and knows where he should be in this piece of material, otherwise, he is afraid that he will not be able to pass the test until he dies, so he can only be a teacher and send his feelings to the students.
Feng Zhiping smiled secretly, not feeling that he was pitiful, there were too many people like him.
Tian Yuan takes a big exam every three years or so on average, with hundreds of thousands of candidates, each of whom feels that he has the talent of the world, and he is above the top and small in the world.
And yet?
There are only a few more than 1,000 people on the five lists, and the "talents" and "prodigies" in these places are together and they are lost in everyone, if you want to stand out, you will either rely on real talent and learning to overwhelm the crowd, or you will dredge the relationship to get extra points, the difficulty of the former road is comparable to the achievement of martial arts, and the latter road is undoubtedly the best choice, not to mention that people who are stronger than you are gone, you are not as good as others, how can it be?
In addition, there is another hidden element in Tianyuan's selection of officials, that is, temperament.
Disposition does not refer to your temperament, but to see how you behave.
People who are too treacherous and too slippery can want it, people who are too lonely and too cold never want it, officialdom is mixed with human feelings, no matter how traitorous and loyal it is, it is just a face, what face is hung in what position, you have not been tested for fame, and you have no power, no power and no help, put a stinky shelf and shout everywhere "I am above board", "I curling jade ruler", "I am out of the mud and not stained" to show to whom?
Examiner look at you this?
You haven't gossed into the mud yet, get a yarn!
This kind of person, unless there is a special period or there is really a shocking talent, there will be a few exceptions, otherwise who will choose a stunned young man with a tendon as a subordinate?
I didn't know how to sue myself!
Don't talk about officialdom, the same is true of the rivers and lakes, people who have no friends on the rivers and lakes die the fastest, and it is better for all the people to betray their relatives than to be alone.
Feng Zhiping didn't mean to laugh at Changkong, but he did have a little contempt.
If you want to be a clear stream, then you should be in the end, like Zhou Ruojun, who resigned from his official position to concentrate on learning and teaching, and taught a group of talents to help the world, and Tong Jian, the champion who dared to "spew blood from the emperor" before the ancients, people are not in the court, but they can be respected by hundreds of officials, and they are respected by everyone in the world, how awesome is this?
No matter what the reason, people who give up halfway will always be somewhat despised, Feng Zhiping especially hates this kind of person, he didn't give up practicing martial arts like that at the beginning, what qualifications do others have?
Sheng Taiyang seemed to have a little bit of Feng Zhiping's thoughts, and after introducing a few more words, he changed the topic and talked about Fengyue.
Feng Zhiping likes this topic, and what he saw along the way, Man Tingfang is really extraordinary.
There is a poem called "The mountains and rivers are exhausted and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village", which he thinks is very suitable to describe the layout of Man Tingfang.
The pavilions and water pavilions, the birds sing and the flowers are fragrant, the corner arch sees the small building flower room again, the red men and green women laugh and laugh, and they are not charming, but there are some sweet and sour hearts that are shocked.
For this alone, Zuijin Lou lost.
There are Qing and elegant guests in the drunken brocade building, but there are also cheap prostitutes and prostitutes, and it is difficult for the women here to associate them with the word wind and dust, or enchanting, or charming, or cold, or green, without exception, there is a reserve and subtlety in the bones, wanting to refuse and welcome, wanting to welcome and refuse, and the advance and retreat are fascinating, as if seeing the first love, unconsciously spooping up, and even some green onions that have been separated for many years.
Expert!
Feng Zhiping secretly praised, the owner here is definitely a master!
He is a veteran of the wind and moon field, and he knows best how powerful this tone is, especially for those big people who have status, status, wealth and wealth, but their hearts are empty, this kind of tone is more likely to impress their cold hearts for a long time.
There is a saying that "a wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as stealing, and stealing is better than stealing", which is what it says.
Not to mention those big shots, he is the same as a young man, when he was young and didn't have a favorite person, he was really fresh for a while after opening the meat, but he didn't feel it anymore.
He once joked with You Jinglian that "women have no secrets to me, how can they be addicted", You Jinglian thought so, so the drunken brocade building could be made into such a appearance, becoming a wonder in Quanzhou and even the entire Changping County.
And Man Tingfang has gone further, it can be said that he has reached a certain extreme, and it is absolutely impossible to do it without hard work.
Maybe it's Jing Lian's, it's impossible for the prince to do this kind of thing, King Rui is similar to the prince, so he has this leisure and this "experience".
Feng Zhiping smiled secretly, Changkong suddenly stood up and turned sideways.
"Two, it's here, please. ”
"Juxian Pavilion, what a big breath!" Feng Zhiping looked up at the plaque and said with a smile.
Sheng Taiyang didn't smile, his face was shocked: "Juxian Pavilion? It's actually here! Good guy, Lord Wang is so generous!"
Then he grabbed Feng Zhiping's arm and said as he dragged it forward: "Let's go, go in and take a look, Juxian Pavilion! One of the top three courtyards in Man Tingfang, you can't book it if you have money, you have to take a good look today!"
Feng Zhiping was speechless: "Uncle, can we be more reserved? You are a 'adult', aren't you afraid of making people laugh?"
Sheng Taiyang rolled his eyes: "Jokes, I'm not afraid! Tell you, if other people know that I drank in Juxian Pavilion, and it was invited by others, they only have envy, where did the joke come from!"
Talking and laughing, the three of them walked through the courtyard to the main hall, and as soon as they entered the door, they swept away the guests and friends, Feng Zhiping's eyes froze, and his smiling face slowly became cold.
