Water Margin people

Chapter 60 Tokyo Elegance
"Brother thinks this punishment is good! I punished these rascals again, and someone took care of the vegetable garden of the Sa family. Very good! Very good! Let's go and drink!"

Lu Zhi greeted Sun Lei with great satisfaction and was going to drink.

"It's not good to steal someone else's. If you dare to hit the young master's idea, you must be severely punished?"

Sun Lei said with a smile, he could only blame people like Zhang San and Li Si for being unlucky enough to bump into his hands.

There is a kitchen in the vegetable garden, but it is full of vegetables and vegetarian food. This is what the old monks ate. Lu Zhishen and Sun Lei must not be used to it. They were too lazy to start a fire, so they went to a nearby street. Restaurant.

A table full of dishes was served, but Lu Zhishen knew how to order. There was no shortage of beef, mutton, and pork. By the way, he also ordered several kinds of seasonal melons and fruits, and two large jars of wine.

"Xiao Er, go and call the shopkeeper."

Lu Zhishen patted an ingot of silver on the seat, and said to Xiao Er who had just finished serving the food.

"Master, wait a moment!"

When Xiaoer saw the ingot of silver, he nodded and bowed immediately and said, this ingot of silver is very valuable, enough to order a few tables of wine and food, and called the shopkeeper over after a while.

"Master, the villain is the shopkeeper of the shop, I don't know what to order."

The shopkeeper smiled and asked Lu Zhishen, not only because of the ingot of silver on the table, but also because of Lu Zhishen's attire, a monk means wealth, and the monks in Tokyo are even more unusual, and it is not easy for any temple.

"Do you know the vegetable garden over there?"

Lu Zhishen sat on the second floor and pointed to the vegetable garden in the distance.

"I know, I know, it is the vegetable garden of Daxiangguo Temple, and it is guarded by a teacher and father."

Being able to do business on this street, the shopkeeper naturally knows the situation on the street, and he knows the details of an industry as big as the vegetable garden.

"It's been changed, and now the vegetable garden is under the care of the Sa family."

Lu Zhi patted his chest deeply and said.

"It turned out to be the new master!"

The shopkeeper hurriedly saluted.

"Okay, put the money on the counter first, and then send wine and food to the vegetable garden every day, according to the standard on this table."

Lu Zhishen threw the ingot of silver to the shopkeeper and waved him away.

"Hey, you still know how to restrain yourself. Why, now you know that a monk drinking and eating meat in a restaurant attracts people's attention."

Sun Lei immediately understood why Lu Zhishen was like this, it was because he was afraid that it would be inconvenient to go out to eat.

"Brother is right. This Daxiangguo Temple is no better than Wenshu Monastery. People in Tokyo are more distracted. It is better to have one thing less than one thing."

Lu Zhishen said while drinking wine and eating meat.

"Okay, look at your vegetable garden, I'll go around the city."

Sun Lei got up and left after eating and drinking. Yesterday he only went to the Daxiangguo Temple and then came to the Vegetable Garden.

Walking into a tea shop, ordering a pot of tea and a plate of dried fruit at random, Sun Lei listened to the storytelling told by an old man in the tea shop.

"The name of the state is Bianshui, and the name of the government is Kaifeng. It connects the states of Wu and Chu, and extends to the land of Qi and Lu. The Duke of Zhou founded the country, and Bi Gonggao was changed to the capital; in the Spring and Autumn Period of the Jin Dynasty, King Hui of Liang was called the State of Wei. In the center of Ji; the shape of Cui Wei subduing the tiger, like the 28 nights of the week. Wang Yao gave Huayi nine times, and Taizong moved his foundation. The scene of Lantern Festival, Aoshan is lined with thousands of lanterns; the moon towers, the phoenix chariot descends three mountains and Qiongdao. Three spring willows on the Jinming Pond, Flowers of the four seasons by the edge of Xiaoyuan City. A town where fish and dragons change for thousands of miles, a place where four hundred military states converge. Li and Shu all sing rich songs, and Jiao'er sings Taiping lyrics together. Beauties and ladies in fragrant chariots, princes and grandchildren swinging golden whips. The streets are full of pearls, and the alleys are full of Luoqi. The mist and auspicious clouds envelop the purple pavilion, and the harmonious auspicious atmosphere covers the towers."

The old man was talking about the prosperity of Tokyo, and it seemed that all the businessmen from other places were listening, and they all listened with gusto.

Sun Lei opened the window on the second floor and looked out. He could only see the boats and boats scrambling on the Bian River, the streets on both sides were full of pedestrians, and the market was very lively.

"Unexpectedly, Tokyo looks like a peaceful and prosperous world, but it has only been more than ten years since the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty."

Sun Lei sighed in his heart and thought, according to the situation he knew, the Northern Song Dynasty would perish in a few years, and then staged a southward crossing, and the land of the Central Plains was trampled by the iron hooves of alien races.

The old man’s commentary on storytelling is very interesting, and the tone makes people want to listen to it. After he finished talking about the bustling Tokyo, the old man saw a lot of people and came to a night tour of the king of Tang Dynasty. The wise ministers, Xue Qing’s grand array, accompanied by the din of gongs and drums, is very lively.

I don't know how long I sat and listened to the book. Lanterns had already started to be hung on the street outside. Only then did Sun Lei realize that it was getting dark.

Just as I was about to leave, I saw beautiful flower boats full of lantern ribbons sailing past the Bian River.

"Finally found!"

Sun Lei was overjoyed when he saw the flower boat, threw down a row of copper coins to pay for the tea, and gave a row of copper coins to the old man in the tea shop who had been talking about storytelling for a long time. Where the flower boat went.

Not long after walking, the sky was completely dark, and the street in front of the river was brightly lit, and countless red lanterns were hung all over the eaves and sterns of the boat. Make people feel ecstatic.

"This is the prosperity of the Song Dynasty!"

Sun Lei walked over with big strides, and saw that every shop door by the river was full of Yingying Yanyan, beautifully dressed women waving silk silk in their hands and coquettishly beckoning passers-by.

"Little official, come in and have a good time!"

Sun Lei had only walked a few steps when he was greeted by a woman beside him waving a handkerchief.

"Little lady, how do you know that I am not a high official?"

This bold teasing and movement made those women cover their mouths and laugh coquettishly. Although they saw a lot of prodigal sons, there were not many people who talked like this in the street in the flower street and willow alley.

"Then this senior official will come in to play!"

Seeing that Sun Lei was so bold, a group of women at the door invited them coquettishly, and a few of them stepped forward to pull Sun Lei in.

"Your Majesty, our Zhenanfang is the biggest brothel in Tokyo!"

Several women talked to Sun Lei while they were talking. From Sun Lei's accent, they could tell that this was an outsider. Since they were outsiders, they definitely didn't know anything about this brothel in Tokyo.

"Then I want to see and see!"

Sun Lei looked up and saw the words "Zhen'anfang" on the plaque at the door. He blocked the shoulders of the two women and walked into the gate of Zhen'anfang. Out of the world, leaning on Sun Lei's arms with a charming smile.

"Hey, this official please come upstairs!"

Seeing Sun Lei coming in with two girls in his arms and teasing, the old bustard hurriedly stepped forward with a smile on his face, greeted her warmly, and stretched out one hand intentionally or unintentionally.

"Of course I came to the brothel to see the lady, who wants to see you, old bustard! Get out of here!"

Sun Lei saw that although the old bustard was yelling to go upstairs, but he was blocking the stairs, he knew that he was embarrassed, that the old bustard was asking for money, so he took out a piece of silver and threw it over, which looked like five taels , It can be regarded as money for the two young ladies.

"Brother, please hurry up, the fruit, wine and food are waiting for you upstairs!"

The old bustard naturally smiled when he saw Yinzi, he didn't care what Sun Lei said, and waved the handkerchief in his hand and shouted at the maid upstairs.
