Chapter 46 Jiangnan Wang Fangla
As soon as the dawn dawned, the city of Beijing began to be lively, because today is the birthday of Liang Shijie, the biggest official in Beijing, who will feast guests at the "Wanbao Building" every year, and also bring the busiest day of the year in the city.
Of course, who of the businessmen, bosses, and officials in the whole city who has won the table, but who dares not to give face to the Zhongshu Lord? They have prepared a lot, from the gifts they gave to them to their own clothes, all of which are carefully purchased, and they can't drop the chain at a critical time.
Wanbaolou, the first restaurant of the Daimyo, has a slight name in Shandong, and in a single matter, compared with the fame of the seven-story "Zhuang Building" of the Daimyo Mansion, the "Wanbao Building" is not bad at all.
The owner of Wanbaolou is surnamed Wan, and he is also a local, and the family has been running for three generations to make Wanbaolou have today's scale. Of course, compared with the "Zhuang Building" and "Alum Building" in the world's "Third Floor", "Wanbao Building" is still far away.
Wanbaolou is a three-storey pavilion-style building, the whole building is beautiful, carved railings and jade, blue bricks and blue tiles, the eaves are curved upward, and the beauty of the building flows out naturally. Magnificent and exquisite, subtle and unconventional. The decorations are well thought out to make every guest smile. Of course, there will be no other guests here today.
......
Lu Yuanwaifu, the back door suddenly opened silently, and a slender person came out to look around, found no abnormality, and went back again. This time, it was a slender figure in men's clothes, and his hair was unkempt like some men, and he was tied in a bun. But a discerning person can see at a glance that she is a woman dressed as a man through her water-cut eyes and the style between her eyebrows.
She walked out the door, didn't notice anything, and hurriedly whispered to the back, it seemed that there was someone behind.
Soon, a figure appeared at the door again. Short and thin, with weird eyes, it is the little four who was caught!
He looked reluctant, but the situation was out of control, so he could only take one step at a time.
"Okay, spy, since you have recruited them all, you are my person, you will follow me in the future, don't worry, I will not treat you badly!" The slender man patted his chest and assured that Xiaohe showed his sharp corners, but it was also quite impressive. This woman dressed as a man is Liu Xu'er, she is already tired of playing with the daimyo in Lufu, and she wants to escape and wander the world.
Of course, now she doesn't know what the price of wandering the world is.
Although Liu Wu'er is young, her internal skills are not low, and her light skills are not trivial, and she quickly disappeared at the end of the street with her little four. Then, the two swaggered out of the city and headed south.
......
At the east gate, a luxury carriage slowly drove into the city, with a small splendid flag on the car and the word 'Zhuang' engraved on it.
After a night of traveling, Yu Lianyi finally arrived, and they went straight to the tallest seven-story building in the city.
......
Jiangnan Road, which was originally the rich hometown of the Yangtze River, experienced the harshness of the imperial court, which made it lose its inherent beauty. Yangzhou City, as the most beautiful place in the south of the Yangtze River, is no longer the land that the Great Song Dynasty can control.
Over the past few years, Fang La, a native of Jiangnan, has been the king of the mountains and has continued to recruit people, but now, he has actually laid down a place without the imperial court knowing it! It can be seen that Fang La's power is no longer to be underestimated. Nowadays, the prefect of Yangzhou is all from Fangla, and the entire east and west roads in the south of the Yangtze River can be said to have become Fangla's private property.
Jianchang City, a tavern.
"Boss, are those guys credible? We all already have such a strong force, why don't we just call ourselves kings, why do we still have to listen to the opinions of those guys who hide their heads and tails?" The three people at this table were all dressed as civilians in their thirties, inconspicuous. It was one of the men who spoke.
"Shut up, you know what these things are, you know what you eat, do you have meat in your head? The man next to him despised him fiercely and said.
"Cut, I'm just idle like this every day, and the birds are idle*. As long as the boss is king, the court will definitely send troops at that time, and there will definitely be masters! I haven't fought in a long time!" The first big man didn't care about the second big man's contempt.
"Then you're not looking for me, I haven't done it for a long time!" the second big man continued to look at him with disdain.
"Cut, the boss has said that if you become king in the future, you will definitely be given a civil official, who made you read so many books before? Fight with you? Bully a civil official? I will be a general in the future!" The first big man completely ignored the contempt in the second big man's words, and said to himself.
"Boss, you let this thing be a general and let me be a civil official, are you serious? I'm going to go into battle to kill the enemy!" The second big man also remembered this 'sad thing' and pleaded with the third big man.
The conversation between the two has already made the third big man full of black lines, but more of it is warm in his heart. Although he is now a noble person, the two brothers are still as they were at the beginning, and they have not alienated him because of their status.
"Second brother, your talents are well known, and I need you to stay by my side to help me, after all, our foundation is still shallow. The boss persuaded this in a gentle voice, and said to the first big man, "The general is not a reckless man, if you keep being so reckless, my general will be someone else, you know, now I have no shortage of fierce generals." ”
The two of them suddenly made no promises.
"Their plan sounded flawless, but in reality, if one thing went wrong, the whole plan failed. It's a gamble. Hmph, they actually treat me as a gambler, do I really bet all my treasure on them? However, their strength is indeed strong, and they are very secretive, and we don't know how much they control them. Now, I am the only one I can trust the two of you, and you must be careful. ”
"Don't worry, boss!" The three brothers have been born and died for several years, and their feelings are not easily understood by outsiders.
"You still have to be prepared, and if things work out, then do it according to their plan, and it won't hurt us. ”
The two of them each drank a large bowl of wine and took their leave.
"Alas, if I had a confidant strategist, why worry about not being able to accomplish it. When the two of them were gone, the boss sighed as he drank alone.
"King Fang La, the military advisor invites you to come over and discuss the matter!" said a man dressed as a small civilian, who came over and whispered.
"Got it, I'll go right away. "I sent this herald away, and he was very unhappy in his heart, are you the king or am I?
It turned out that he was Fang La, who now occupies the two roads in the south of the Yangtze River, but it seems that he is not as beautiful as he imagined.
......
Just after breakfast, Yu Lianyi was picked up by a special person, and the hats secretly went to protect her. Ning Yufei was not invited, so he could only go to the first floor of Wanbao Building and participate in the banquet with the entourage of other guests.
Of course, for this kind of event, as a historian, of course he will not miss it, and even he wants to use his ability to sneak to the third floor to see what kind of event it is, and how is it different from the state banquet in later generations?
The guests began to wait for the auspicious time in the outer street of Wanbaolou, and the grand event was about to begin!
