The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1693 Peach Blossom Temple Song
It is definitely not difficult to find Huayulou in Changsha City. It is easy for diligent people to walk, and it is easier for lazy people to take a rickshaw.

"rickshaw"!
This is definitely a new vocabulary in the Song Dynasty.

Except for Jinghu South Road and Jinghu North Road, it is estimated that there is no such thing in other roads.Because this is something that the Ministry of Science and Technology has just produced not long ago.

From its invention to its production, it took less than two months for the rickshaw, the newest form of transportation to replace the horse-drawn carriage, to appear in Changsha City.

Of course, the name of the rickshaw was chosen by Zhao Dongting.The blueprint was also made by him, but it was just in the name of the Ministry of Science and Technology.

This is not a high-tech product, it is a combination of bicycles and rickshaws, which can be regarded as human-powered tricycles.

Zicheng is a place where high-ranking officials and nobles live. Every family has a rickshaw and a dedicated driver, but there are still drivers waiting on the corner of the street.

Because those big people can use the rickshaw at home, but not all their family members can use it.Those gentlemen and ladies who love to go out for a walk, don't they need to rent a rickshaw?

Rickshaws, which are quite expensive at this stage, are definitely the most reliable customers for the big boys and ladies.Ordinary people may not be willing to sit even if they can afford it.

Zhao Dongting and Zhang Tingen walked out of the palace about a kilometer away and saw several rickshaws parked at the corner of the street.

The coachmen are all obediently squatting beside the car.

They are not like this in the inner city and outer city, but because there are so many guards in the inner city and the control is tight, so they have to be more honest.

"Both young masters, do you want to take a car?"

Zhao Dongting and Zhang Tingen had just walked over, and a coachman asked cautiously, but did not dare to make a fuss.

"Go to Huayu Building."

Zhao Dongting nodded and signaled Zhang Tingen to get in the car.

The two took two rickshaws to Huayulou without asking the price.The coachman got in the car and left, obviously knowing where Huayulou was.

Probably because he was afraid of Zhao Dongting's identity, the coachman didn't dare to talk to Zhao Dongting on the way. After leaving the city, Zhao Dongting just looked at the scenery on the street.

Today's Changsha has changed a lot except that the architectural style is still the same as before.

This kind of liveliness reminded Zhao Dongting of the Shanghai Bund in the old days, where shoulders were rubbed against each other and noisy.

Of course, it is not as chaotic as it hurt Shanghai in the old days.At that time, Shanghai could conquer the world with fists, and countless heroes emerged, but it was not possible in the imperial city.

It becomes more and more lively in the outer city, but it is not as "exquisite and glamorous" as the inner city.

Zhao Dongting took the initiative to talk to the coachman and said, "Uncle, your accent seems to be from Changsha?"

It was this driver who asked if he wanted a ride.

The coachman in front, who was pedaling vigorously with his feet, replied in a rather enthusiastic tone: "Young master, the younger one is a native of Changsha."

Zhao Dongting asked again: "Then how do you think this Changsha compares with the old Changsha?"

"Of course it's much better."

The coachman replied without hesitation: "In the past, Changsha was not as lively as it is now. There are so many people. Ha ha, where are there any rickshaws? It was fine before the yuan thief came, but later, when the yuan thief came, I really wanted to survive. It was not easy. There were many people who gnawed on the bark and turf in those days. Thankfully, the emperor moved the imperial city to Changsha. Think about it!"

"Ha ha!"

Zhao Dongting also laughed and said no more.

After getting off the car at Huayu Building and paying the fare, amidst the driver's thanks, he took Zhang Tingen and walked straight to Huayu Building.

It's only around afternoon time, but Huayu Tower is already very lively.From the outside, you can hear the noisy sound inside.

Xuanxue said that the smell of wine from Huayulou filled the streets, which is really not a lie.Zhao Dongting could smell all kinds of fine wine from outside.

"Would you like to invite one of the two sons!"

Mr. Gui, who greeted the guests at the door, was still enthusiastic.It seems that every brothel's tortoise is like this.

Zhao Dongting is not a frequent visitor to this kind of place, but he has been there a few times.

Zhang Tingen seemed to have never been here before, and looked a little cramped, which made Zhao Dongting feel a little funny, "You don't even come to the brothel, do you?"

Zhang Tingen said a little embarrassingly: "Grandpa forbids me to come to such a place."

Zhao Dongting smiled, "It's fine if you don't come. Although it's harmless, if you sink into it, your life might be ruined."

He took Zhang Tingen straight in.

There was a bustard waiting inside, "Hey, these two young masters are familiar faces, presumably they are also here to see Miss Shimao, right?"

She is said to be a bustard, but in fact she is only in her thirties and still has a charming charm.It is estimated that it was also a well-known role in the Imperial City back then.

Zhao Dongting was fairly skilled at pretending to be a rich man, and said with a frivolous smile, "Of course it's for the oiran. Where is she, hurry up and take me to meet you."

While talking, he stretched out his hand to pat Zhang Tingen's chest, "I have a lot of bank notes, so don't let me come back disappointed!"

Zhang Tingen was a little dumbfounded.

The old bustard swept across Zhang Tingen's bulging chest without a trace, and some light overflowed from his eyes.

At her age, regardless of whether Zhang Tingen's chest is a real banknote or pure chest muscles, it probably can make her heart move.

But then she still coquettishly said to Zhao Dongting: "My lord, the oiran is not someone who can arrange for you to meet just by saying it! Well, it still depends on your own ability!"

"Oh?"

Zhao Dongting was slightly surprised: "What do you mean by that?"

The old bustard laughed and said: "Our lady poet doesn't want money and doesn't talk about her family background. She only wrote half a poem, and whoever takes the second half can satisfy her will be the guest of honor."

"interesting!"

Zhao Dongting laughed, "Let's talk and listen."

"Peach Blossom Temple in Taohuawu, Peach Blossom Immortals in Peach Blossom Temple." The old bustard said.

"It's simple, you can reply Miss Shimao like this, the Peach Blossom Immortal planted peach trees, and picked peach blossoms to sell wine money." Zhao Dongting replied quickly, and a look of understanding appeared on his face.

If he had suspected that the girl Shimao was just similar to Ashima before, now he was absolutely sure that it was Ashima.Because this poem is what he taught Ashima.Song of Peach Blossom Temple by Tang Yin.

The bustard was surprised that Zhao Dongting composed the second half of the song so quickly, but he still walked upstairs quickly.

There are not many people who can pick up this poem, and almost none can pick it up so naturally and quickly.

Zhao Dongting watched her wiggle her buttocks to go upstairs, and couldn't help muttering, "What is Ashima trying to do?"

Taking this poem as a "cause", of course he knew that Ashima was simply waiting for him to find it on his own initiative.
