Far from the ancient life of modern civilization, no mobile phones, no cars, no coffee, no parties, Chris is simply uncomfortable to death. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Lan Yuanzhen finally agreed to take her out of the palace, and the sedan chair the two of them rode on the busy and lively street, which made Chris feel good.

In the city of Bianliang, Tokyo, the capital of the Song Dynasty, Chris thought he had arrived in the "Venice of the East". The large and small boats in the Bianhe River "appeared" in front of her eyes like a torrent. At the moment, she didn't know that the endless boats in the Bianhe River were the lifeblood of Tokyo's economy and made the city so vibrant.

The main feature of Bianliang is that there are four waterways passing through the city, there are many magnificent bridges on the river, there are thirteen bridges on the Bianhe River alone, and then there are eleven bridges on the Cai River, there is a special layout of "River Street Bridge Market" on the river, so the business is often concentrated in the area of the bridgehead. One of the largest bridges on the Bianhe River, commonly known as the "State Bridge", is of course the largest in its bridge city.

Chris, a "foreigner," had just arrived, and he had seen such a scene wherever he had seen it, and his mouth was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth: "Oh-my-God, Civilization!" Chris exclaimed again and again, this is simply a scene of modern civilization after the industrial revolution! In her impression, when she mentioned ancient China, it was a picture of beautiful mountains and rivers, green waters, terraced fields, and thatched huts plowing cattle.

Chris looked east and west, very excited.

The men in the shops are full of smiles and smiling to entertain the guests, and the service is considerate; the passers-by on the streets, walking and stopping, carrying all kinds of purchased goods in their hands; the officials riding high-headed horses, with their families opening the way, are full of energy; the laborers who are driving the goods and the coolies are sweating and satisfied; during this period, there are many foreign merchants who look like Central and Western Asia and Arabs; the prosperous scene of this "international metropolis (1)" makes her dreamlike.

Lan Yuanzhen looked at Qianying shuttling through the crowd, and he suddenly felt that his master had regained a kind of vitality that only he had in his girlhood.

Lan Yuanzhen smiled and asked, "Yuanxiao, you are so heroic, you should buy a few more pieces and take you to the Shen family's shop for my brother, okay?"

Chris guessed that it was the place where the clothes were made, so he nodded.

The business of the Shen family's silk clothing workshop is very large, and the business is also eye-catching. Both the official eunuchs and the wealthy families in the capital are its old customers.

The front hall of the silk clothing workshop is very wide, and the whole wall facing the main hall is full of ready-to-wear clothes, which is some classic styles of silk clothing shops before, and the latest clothes in this summer are hung on the "human shelf" of equal height, lined up on both sides of the front hall, as long as the guests enter the room, they will see, which is very eye-catching.

Chris secretly admired in his heart that the business concept of the Song Dynasty was really developed, and merchants had already used all kinds of modern advertising methods to hype and market.

At this time, there were a lot of people in the store, and the mother-in-law and the maid who received it were busy and had no manpower. Lan Yuanzhen first accompanied Chris around the hall at will, looking at the ready-to-wear on the shelves.

In the middle of the hall, there are two dark mahogany counters back to back, and the Shen family's silk clothing shop is divided into male and female guests, with men on the left and women on the right. The mother-in-law on the counter on the right is the old shopkeeper of the silk clothing shop, and she knocked on the wooden window next door and said busily: "Blind, there is a distinguished guest, and I don't send someone to receive it over there." ”

The male shopkeeper looked at her fingers and immediately understood that the two masters in front of him must be big customers, and he beckoned to one of the most appropriate little servants in the hall.

The little guy ran over and greeted Lan Yuanzhen with humility and enthusiasm.

Lan Yuanzhen pointed to a few people's shelves, discussed with Chris, and said, "I look good at the light colors of the ones placed at the door." ”

Chris nodded, and said in his heart: Yes, yes, if the style can be changed again, it would be good if I drew a few patterns in the future and let Lan Yuanzhen customize them.

Lan Yuanzhen turned his head and said to the little servant: "This, this, and that, oh, and those few pieces, bring me two sets of the same." ”

This master has twenty or thirty sets of clothes in one mouth, and the little guy opened his mouth wide in shock.

Lan Yuanzhen continued, "As for this fabric......

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, the male shopkeeper personally greeted him and said respectfully: "Two masters, who makes the clothes?"

Lan Yuanzhen pointed at Chris.

"Lan Yuanxiao's" face was somewhat feminine, and the male shopkeeper stared at it for a long time, and said, "Please go and take you to measure the size first, and then take the two of you to see the fabric when you're done." ”

The little servant said in the head, and the male shopkeeper personally led them to the inner hall of the male guest.

When they came out again, a few people dressed in black came out of nowhere, Lan Yuanzhen pointed at them and said, "Just give them the things." ”

Only then did the male shopkeeper react, he carefully sent people to the door, and said in his heart that these two people turned out to be people from the palace.

Walking on the most prosperous royal street in Bianliang, the new feeling is the same as the first time she walked on the streets of New York. I went to a lot of places when I traveled with my father, but if I want to say that the most impressive thing must be the time I went to New York with my uncle.

It was when she was nine years old, and Mark flew her to New York, where she had longed for a long time. It was a behemoth-like city that never sleeps, standing on the streets of Times Square, full of strangers coming like a tide, and there will be a heavy sense of oppression in the chest. Chris is like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. Although San Francisco is famous for its Chinese connections, it is only a small city with a population of about 800,000, how can it be compared to the metropolis of the world?

Thinking of New York, Chris suddenly felt a little depressed, she missed everything in modern times, no matter how developed ancient times were, they could not compare to real modern civilization. But turning his head to look at Lan Yuanzhen, who was kind enough to go out, Chris tried not to let the disappointment show on his face.

Her sudden silence still made Lan Yuanzhen notice.

"What's wrong?"

Chris shook his head in silence.

"Are you tired of walking, do you want to rest?"

"No, I'm hungry all of a sudden!" said Chris.

Lan Yuanzhen smiled and said, "I forgot when I was happy, let's go to dinner!"

Lan Yuanzhen took her straight to Fan Lou.

Fan Lou is really worthy of being the most luxurious restaurant in Bianliang, composed of five buildings in the east, west, south, north and middle, the fifth floor is opposite, the flying bridge railing, light and dark are connected, like the seven treasure towers are dazzling. And before the people entered, they listened to the sound of the sheng song orchestra upstairs, and the graceful aftermath was lingering. In fact, there are many restaurants in the capital that can be compared with Fanlou in scale, and the dishes are not inferior, but the fame is under Fanlou, just because there is a unique "Meishou wine" in Fanlou.

Accustomed to seeing skyscrapers, and looking at this tallest and most luxurious building in Bianliang City, it is nothing to see, Chris looked at this ancient building casually, and walked into the building with Lan Yuanzhen.

Suddenly, I heard someone shouting: "It's rare to see Lord Lan traveling in casual clothes!"

Chris followed the prestige and saw a man striding towards them.

He is seven feet eight inches tall, wears a far-traveled crown, and wears a collar of Jiuxia clothes, a good pair of fairy wind bones, which can really be described as "Taiyi Temple in the south of Beidou City, and the feather people wear more Jiuxia clothes", a group of fairy heroes.

Lan Yuanzhen hurriedly saluted: "I wanted to come out and be chic once, but I was caught by Uncle Xiaoguo." ”

The two laughed, very boldly.

The person who came was none other than Changshan Cao Kai (2), the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Cao. Although he is a noble uncle, he is unrestrained by nature, does not like to enjoy a rich life, does not like to compete for power and profit, and does not like to abide by old rules; he only loves two things in his life - drinking and cultivating immortals.

"Who is this?" Cao Kai glanced at the beautiful young man beside Lan Yuanzhen, and said in his heart: What a wonderful person, he really responded to Chen Ziang's sentence of 'slender show, graceful posture'.

"He is my younger brother, his name is Lan Yuanxiao, and he has just entered the palace. Today I will take him to the capital to see the world, and by the way, I will come to Fanlou for a few drinks. ”

Cao Kai was surprised, brother, I didn't hear that Lan Yuanzhen had a younger brother.

Chris saw a long sword hanging from his waist, and it was surprisingly long, so strange that she stared at it.

How does Chris know that this long sword is called Broken Water, according to legend, it is Goujian, the king of Yue, who is made of red gold and steel from Kunwu Mountain, and cuts the water with a sword, and the water is broken. I don't know how many wicked people have been killed by this sword, and "broken water" has long been regarded by the common people as a symbol of Uncle Cao Xiaoguo.

Chris looked up at him, and the two of them looked at each other.

At this moment, Cao Kai smiled at the corner of his mouth, with an inquiring look.

Cao Kai saw that the young man's eyes were clear, and it seemed that he could suck you into the bottom of his deep eyes at a glance, this attraction was not because of his handsome appearance, but something hidden in the depths of his soul, what kind of spiritual sense does this person have?

Lan Yuanzhen saw that she was stunned, and reminded softly: "You haven't seen Uncle Guo yet?"

Chris said: "Uncle Guo is good!"

Cao Kai waved his hand and said, "There are not many others in the capital, and Uncle Guo grabbed a lot of them and shouted to see them." Cao Kai is my real name, small character Guangdao. ”

Chris thought for a moment and asked, "Then I'll call you Brother Cao, okay?"

"That's very good!" Cao Kai heard him speak in the vernacular, he didn't have the official tone of the palace servant at all, and he was even more curious about the person in front of him, he turned his head to Lan Yuanzhen and said, "It's rare to meet Brother Lan, why don't you invite the two brothers by me." ”

Lan Yuanzhen knew that Cao Kai was a master of the WTO, and he was quite profound, and he would not take the initiative to make friends with his ministers under normal circumstances. It is very rare to show favor like this today, so I don't excuse myself.

The three of them, led by the bartender, went upstairs together.

The people who eat in Fanlou are all people with heads and faces, but who doesn't know Uncle Cao Xiaoguo, and even some guests from other places come to Fanlou to eat just to see the demeanor of "Uncle Sword Fairy".

Today, Uncle Guo is accompanied by a handsome young man. The two stood together, like the immortals in the painting, as if they could see the cigarettes curling beside them, the cranes flying, and the hall was silent, and the people watched the figures of the two until they disappeared at the staircase for a long time, and everyone exhaled lightly, barely recovering their senses.
