Chapter 16 Jiangdong Twelve Jia, Drunken Immortal Thirteen Ya
Towards evening, there was no remnant sun in the direction of the West Mountain. The sky was overcast, and the north wind was as cold as a knife.
This kind of early winter sky is not unfamiliar to the eyes of the old people who have lived in the Tiandu City for generations, thinking that maybe there will be a snow when the night falls, so there are significantly fewer pedestrians on the street than yesterday.
After the carriage of the Nine Emperor Princes Su Hanshan entered the city, he did not rush back to his house, but made a detour and stopped outside the Drunken Immortal Tower.
Although the Drunken Immortal Building is not as famous as the first floor, it is quite favored by the sons and talented women of the literati and ink families in this Sutang Dynasty with its very characteristic thirteen private rooms.
Even Su Hanshan has heard a lot.
Accompanied by the maid Zhishu, as soon as he entered the Drunken Immortal Building, he heard a call from the second floor from the crown prince Li Tianxia.
Yes, the Drunken Immortal Tower is the place where Chu Nanzhao settled in Tiandu City.
......
Compared with the cold on the street, the restaurant is warm and extremely lively.
Su Hanshan's gaze was withdrawn from the second floor, and then he was attracted by a pair of large-character books hanging in the center of the lobby.
I saw Shanglian write: "One big Qiao, two small Qiao, three inches of golden lotus and four inches of waist, five boxes and six boxes of colorful colors, eight points and nine points and ten times Jiao." β
It's about two women who were quite famous during the Warring States period for three hundred years.
Just as he was curious, Su Hanshan looked at the money again and found that it was actually Chu Nanzhao's name, and then he suddenly realized.
I have heard of the rules of the Drunken Immortal Building to enter the thirteen private rooms, no matter who you are, if you want to enter the private room to challenge the first name and get the treatment of all the consumption of the Drunken Immortal Building for life, you must first pay a little registration silver taels, and then undergo the qualification assessment, and the topic of the assessment is the upper link hanging in the center of the lobby.
As for the questioner, it was written by the previous successful candidate who entered the private room.
Not only the lobby couplet, the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, sword, debate, poetry, wine array, if there is a successful challenger in the thirteen elegant rooms, the title will also be re-set by the challenger.
The upper link hanging in this central lobby was originally from the hands of the shopkeeper of the Drunken Immortal Building, who has always liked to dance and write, and it is not too difficult. Later, some people gradually climbed the stairs to enter the private room to challenge successfully, which became more and more difficult as the qualification assessment of the Shanglian and private room questions, resulting in fewer and fewer challengers.
This is an unexpected phenomenon.
It's also fun, though.
It is said that there is no first article, and there is no problem in the world that cannot be solved. As long as the Thirteen Elegant Rooms exist, they will continue to attract the rich and famous people of the entire Sutang and even the Spring and Autumn Five Kingdoms to come here to hunt for curiosities.
By the way, let the world see who the thirteenth class of the Drunken Immortal Building will belong to in the end.
......
After Su Hanshan climbed the building, he looked around slightly.
I saw that the thirteen private rooms in a circular arrangement were all closed doors. Consistent with rumors, a wooden plaque hung in front of the door with the name of the private room and the current defender engraved on it.
The distance is too far, and the wooden sign is only the size of a palm.
Even though Su Hanshan had noticed that his eye, hearing, and senses had become sharper recently, he still couldn't see the names of the major lords of the thirteen chambers on the wooden plaque.
Looking at Chu Nanzhao, Su Hanshan couldn't help but ask curiously: "Seeing that there is a Shanglian of Brother Chu's signature hanging in the lobby, I don't know which of the thirteen elegant rooms Brother Chu has won the qin, chess, calligraphy, painting, runes, swords, and swords, and the poetry and wine array?"
Chu Nanzhao smiled: "Only Xiangjia can't be obtained." β
Su Hanshan nodded, then realized something, and looked at Chu Nanzhao incredulously: "The rest of the twelve top ones have all become Brother Chu's bag?"
The crown prince Li Tianxia was extremely jealous and said: "No! I thought that the darling of the hundred families of Jiangdong who was chased and killed by Xi Hongyu on the floating water, the name of Chu Nanzhao's talent was just a rumor. Where did you think that this guy is simply a demon, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, Fu Bing sword debate, poetry and wine array, there is nothing that I don't understand!"
"In addition to Xiangjia, it took only one day to win the twelve top of the Drunken Immortal Building, and there was a big and small Qiao absolutely, and no one has been able to make the next couplet, and it is famous. provoked many famous ladies in Tiandu City to line up towards this drunken immortal building for a few days, vying to see the face of Chu Nanzhao, a talented man from Jiangdong. β
"See, from the time I went upstairs until now, those girls have been there, sneaking a few glances from time to time. Fortunately, this guy has an ordinary appearance, if he is still alive like the prince of this and looks like Pan An, I am afraid that the young women in the capital will be willing to bow down under his Zhaoqing sword. β
Although they got along for a short time, Su Nuannuan, who felt more and more that these friends beside her brother were very interesting, hid her face and smiled.
The crown prince Li Tianxia grimaced at her in distress.
The maid Zhishu also looked at Chu Nanzhao curiously for a while.
The latter had no choice but to smile helplessly: "It's really rude." β
Su Hanshan asked, "That Xiangjia is ......?"
Li Tianxia said: "To put it simply, it is to look at the face in color, and it is said that there is only one mirror in the photo room. β
Su Hanshan asked again: "...... the champion of Xiangjia now?"
Li Tianxia suddenly became interested: "There are only two champions in the Thirteen Elegant Room so far, and you also know each other. β
Su Hanshan sighed lightly: "I know?"
Taking a sip of tea, Li Tianxia continued: "The first champion is Feng Qiwu. It is also extremely interesting, it is said that at the beginning of the construction of the thirteen private rooms of the Drunken Immortal Building, the future seal keeper of the Heaven Interception Sect only entered the Xiangzi room by chance, stood in front of the mirror for a while, and became the owner of the Xiangzi room from then on. β
In the past few years, the remaining twelve private rooms have changed several times, but the name of Fengqiwu is firmly hanging there. β
Taking a fair standpoint, Su Hanshan, who did not deny Feng Qiwu's handsomeness, said: "No wonder! Who is the second champion? There is a more beautiful man than Feng Qiwu in Tiandu City?"
Li Tianxia smiled evilly: "It's not a man, it's a girl." β
Su Hanshan muttered, "The girl I've seen?"
Suddenly he remembered someone.
The girl in Buddhist clothes who would sneak into the backyard of the plum garden every night and enter his room to occupy his bed.
Li Tianxia said: "Now the champion hanging on the wooden sign in the photo room is that girl. β
Su Hanshan thought, it turned out that Feng Qiwu actually met the girl in red Buddha clothes.
Looking at the Sutang Empire, except for the girl in Buddha clothes, I am afraid that there will be no second person who can replace the position of the lord of the Fengqi Wuxiang Character House.
This seems to make sense.
It's just that...... Suddenly remembering Feng Qiwu's warning to him in front of the Tianfu Mountain Temple, as well as the marriage assigned by his father, Su Hanshan was surprised.
Thinking that the girl in the red Buddha dress is his fiancΓ©e who has never met?
Otherwise, how can it be explained that she can come and go freely in the plum garden without alarming anyone? How can it be explained that a daughter's family has to sleep on the bed in her room regardless of her innocence? How can it be explained that Feng Qiwu is angry and angry!
Su Hanshan suddenly fell into a chaotic thought, recalling the night he first met the girl in red Buddha clothes......
......
Unconsciously, the downstairs lobby of the Drunken Immortal Building suddenly became lively.
There was more and more noise, and there were more and more onlookers.
The second brother of the restaurant hurriedly rushed up the stairs, looked around, and then walked towards Chu Nanzhao: "Young Master Chu, go and take a look, someone has made a couplet." β
