Chapter 18: Wanliu Lane in the World of Flowers
Tianyou seemed to hear something, took a sip of tea and squinted his eyes and stared at the desk in front of him, feeling that the desk was shaking, but everything was empty and there was nothing.
Tianyou still keeps staring like this.
Wen Ting saw that Tianyou was looking so seriously, for fear of disturbing him, so she lowered her voice and said, "Why isn't the old lady allowed to mention it?"
Tang Qianzhi: "I don't know. The old lady has made it clear that the descendants of the Tang family are not allowed to say it, and they are never allowed to mention it. ”
Tang Wenting: "If the old lady doesn't let me say it, we won't say it." Father, you just said that Grandpa Tai and Lao Taijun once broke into the island in the middle of Taihu Lake alone, fought against the Taihu Gang of heroes, and subdued Niu Kun of the Taihu Gang, but is it true?"
Tang Qianzhi: "Definitely!"
Tang Wenting: "Taihu Gang Niu Kun is Wanliu Lane Niu Kun?"
Tang Qianzhi: "Yes, a family, a person. ”
Tang Qianzhi also lowered his voice and said: "Your grandfather and old lady broke into the island in the middle of Taihu Lake alone, fought against the Taihu Gang, and subdued the Taihu Gang. Taihu helped Niu Kun swear to the sky that he would never again care about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and then dismissed everyone, learned to do business, and built Wanliu Lane on the east side of our Qianguo Lane in the south of Changzhou City, and became a rich man. When my grandfather was alive, Niu Kun ordered his children to visit the Tang family during the New Year's holidays, which is true. ”
Tang Wenting: "Father, this world is not afraid of bandits killing people and setting fires, but afraid that bandits are educated." If the Niu Kun bandits don't do it, and Wanliu Lane is built next to us, what good will it be? It must be a conspiracy!"
Tang Qianzhi: "What kind of conspiracy can there be? What is there to grab from our Tang family, at most it is a wharf, but it is not uncommon, and the wharf in Wanliu Lane is bigger than ours. What can happen after decades?"
Tang Wenting was speechless, she felt that her father had been blinded by the obsession with cultivation, and she sighed: "Father, no wonder the Tang family is going to be defeated, the Taihu Gang has made such a big decision to build such a luxurious Wanliu Lane at such a high price at our doorstep, you actually say nothing." All I had to do was cry. Also, my omniscient noble grandmother, the old lady, even ignored the affairs of Wanliu Lane. My brother, your eldest son, is still single, and he doesn't talk about marriage, and you elders don't care, he follows my living treasure uncle to Wanliu Lane all day long, and you still don't ask. Oh my God, how could the Tang family have fallen like this!"
Saying and talking, Tang Wenting cried "woo woo woo woo ......", and the cry became louder and louder......
Wanliu Lane, built by Niu Kun and the Taihu Lake Gang.
In the ninth year of Zhengde, Niu Kun, the leader of the Taihu Gang, swore to the sky not to be a bandit, but to do good deeds, carrying tens of thousands of willow trees on both sides of the canal in the south of Changzhou for dozens of miles.
In the spring breeze, the slender and soft branches of 10,000 willow trees are scattered like the long hair of a girl fluttering slowly on the side of the microwave rippling canal, dancing for the wind, and the bank of the canal in the south of Changzhou has become the most beautiful and attractive place on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.
In the eleventh year of Zhengde, Niu Kun began to build Wanliu Lane on the east side of Qianguo Lane. Wanliu Lane and Qianguo Lane are separated by a famous bridge and look at each other from afar, all kinds of buildings are similar to Qianguo Lane, and they are more magnificent and more luxurious than Qianguo Lane.
The north of Wanliu Lane is adjacent to the deep house garden, and the first house in the east originally lived in Niu Kun, the owner of Wanliu Lane, and later gave it to the famous good people of the rivers and lakes, tea merchant Zheng Shanren Zheng Dashanren. The Niu family compound is next to the Zheng family compound, and in turn is the Li family compound of the second gang leader Li Feihu and the Zhang family compound of the third gang advocating Wanlong, and the end of the alley is also an ancestral hall, named "Taoyuan Hall", for the heirs of Wanliu Lane to study.
The south of the alley faces the water, and the two-story small attic stands next to the river, and two brothels are opened, a green building, two gambling houses, a restaurant, and an inn. There are Fireworks Pavilion, Forget Love, Lianxiang Building, Fishing Place, March Hall, Water Pavilion Restaurant, Willow Flower Inn and Feixue Tea House.
Throughout the ages, literati and writers, heroes and heroes, no one has secretly hoped in their hearts to be able to hug their slender waists in the world of flowers, do some obscene songs or offer flattering and smiling articles, or spend a lot of money to stretch their chests. Dignitaries and nobles with serious faces, romantic and talented, in the night scene of the lights, even if they are embarrassed to find a red man for a spring supper, they will be eager to look forward to finding a clear person in the Qinglou to play some crepe and sour words and phrases in the green building to play some crepe and sour words to drum up elegance.
What's more, there are five famous red people in the south of the Yangtze River in Wanliu Lane, "Willow Flowers Fly Snow": willow like smoke, flower without bud, Fei Hongyan, snow like fire, Shi Rushuang, all of them are beautiful and beautiful, especially the top brand Liu Ruyan, Xiaoman's waist and peach cheeks are smiling, beautiful eyes are longing, and they are drunk to death; The talent is unique, the top brand is like a fairy descending to earth, and when the eyes are looking forward to it, it is like a clear water reflecting the elegance and elegance, which is soul-stirring, and people can't help but be haunted. There is also Mei Shi Niang, who has gambling skills and beauty in the fishing room, her complexion is as clear as jade, her speech is like a pearl, her gambling posture is beautiful and soft, she shakes up the dice like pear blossoms and piles of snow, and her tenderness is beautiful and beautiful.
Wanliu Lane is also a rare place in the rivers and lakes, there is no dispute between the rivers and lakes, no gang fighting, and no geographical division, no one can come to anyone, as long as there is money. As long as there is money, anyone here can get everything they want, beautiful women, money, even other people's lives, or everything you want to know.
There has always been a pair of old people living in the Allure Inn, Xi Li and Hu Tu, the slightly thinner one is called Xi Li, and the white one with a long beard is called Hu Tu. The two of them never interact with people, never stumble with people, always keep a straight face, and always sit in the box in the west of the Feixue Tea House to drink tea and play chess in their free time, as long as you can afford enough money, the two of them can always help you do what you want to do.
The rivers and lakes are all legendary, Xi Li and Hu Tu can find the master of Lanxing Pavilion, they can enter Juxian Village, and they can also help you invite any master in the Hidden Dragon Valley.
Xi Li and Hu Tu belong to that gang, I don't know, no one knows how high the martial arts are, and you don't want to know, none of the people who followed him returned alive to this beautiful world that everyone loves. They will always be together, always in Wanliu Lane, as long as you have money, you can find them.
The rivers and lakes pay the most attention to affordability, interests, and enmity, and there are only wharves and legends in Qianguo Lane, which are not what people care about. As for the wharf, only the Cao Gang will care why the ship that can only sell fruits can dock, and no one cares about whether to sell fruits or not for the rivers and lakes, and no one is interested.
Since the appearance of Wanliu Lane, Qianguo Lane has long been overshadowed by Wanliu Lane in the rivers and lakes, and few people have mentioned Qianguo Lane on the rivers and lakes.
Wanliu Lane has become the most famous alley of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and even the whole rivers and lakes, its prosperity is far better than Qianguo Lane, the alley is full of traffic every day, the flowers are like brocade, the lights are red and green, here is simply a paradise on earth.
A saying began to circulate in the rivers and lakes: when the willow flowers fly in the snow in March, the spring breeze looks ten miles to the end of the world.
