Chapter 196 Zilan opens its business

In the early morning of this day, a rumor began to spread from somewhere.

"Have you heard?"

"What did you hear?"

"I heard that a Purple Orchid Pavilion has opened in Chang'an City. Our little war god of the Tang Dynasty, the Chang'an County Bodhisattva, is going to set up a stage in this Purple Orchid Pavilion to challenge young talents from all walks of life."

"As long as you win County Uncle Qin, not only can you eat and drink for free at Zilanxuan, but you can also take away a reward of one hundred taels of gold!"

"real or fake?"

"If you don't believe it, let's take a look!"

"Just look at it!"

"Let's go!"

The people were talking a lot. Now is not the busy farming season. Many people are idle and bored at home, so they just went to join in the fun.

Many rich kids and down-and-out scholars passing by on the street were all very interested in this reward.

The uncle of Chang'an County, Qin Huaiyu, was a little war god of the Tang Dynasty who was both civil and military. He was famous in Chang'an City and was known to everyone.

Who can not be tempted by the good thing of gaining both fame and fortune?

At this moment, people have gathered in front of the gate of Zilanxuan, and even the surrounding restaurants have also benefited from it. Everyone is packed, especially in high-position places, where it is difficult to find a seat.

"Your Majesty, for you to leave the palace secretly like this is not only against the rules, but also a waste of political affairs. You are so fond of having fun. How is it different from the ancient Jie and Zhou?"

"I thought that..."

Zilanxuan was facing the top floor of the restaurant. Li Shimin, who had recovered a lot of his complexion, was looking at Wei Zheng who was chattering away with an annoyed and helpless look on his face.

Why did he bring this old man out with a twitch of his head?
On the side, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong and others looked intently at the crowds of people below, as if they were unaware of what was happening here.

"A bottle of good wine!" Li Shimin said directly.

"This is my loyal and direct advice. Why would your Majesty use such vulgar things to insult me?"

Wei Zhengyi spoke sternly, but his body did not move at all.

"Two bottles!"

"Your Majesty's behavior is really..."

"Three bottles, no more!"

Li Shimin said directly: "I may not even be able to get a few bottles of wine out of this stingy boy. I'm very generous to give you three bottles!"

Wei Zheng looked at Li Shimin's already very impatient look, and knew the principle of giving up when something is good. He quickly stood up and said: "I am not doing it for those bottles of good wine, but just for the safety of the country of the Tang Dynasty."

"Since Your Majesty is unwilling to listen to my advice, let's give up for the time being."

After Wei Zheng finished speaking, he stood aside seriously, without any embarrassment at all.

Even Cheng Yaojin and the other old fairies couldn't help but poke their heads over.

I didn’t expect that you, Wei Zheng, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, could actually be sophistical!

"What are you looking at? Is there anything wrong with what I said?" Wei Zheng said without changing his expression.

"No no."

Everyone shook their heads in unison.

At this time, Changsun Wuji continued to look out the window and said: "With such a large-scale population movement here, one mistake will cause riots. This Zilanxuan really ignores the law!"

Li Shimin said nothing, but Cheng Yaojin turned his head and cursed: "You are an old man, you don't want to see other people's kindness, right?"

"I'm just describing it truthfully."

Changsun Wuji said calmly: "With so many people gathered here without clearing things up, friction will inevitably occur over time. Who will bear this responsibility then?"

"Is it you? Or me?"

There was a moment of silence in the room.

"Do not worry."

Xiao Yu clasped his hands behind his back and turned around and said, "When I came here, I had already noticed the gathering of people and sent someone to the Chang'an County Government Office to inquire."

"The people from Zilanxuan have already reported to the Chang'an County Government three days ago." "At this time, the crowd was filled with people from the Chang'an County Government who were secretly watching, ensuring that the situation would be controlled as soon as possible. .”

Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Li Shimin nodded slightly and said, "The Chang'an County Magistrate has done a good job."

Just this sentence is the greatest compliment.

At this time, people gathered in front of Zilanxuan's door, and many people couldn't wait.

"When will you start?"

"Is this still a competition?"

"That's right, we've been waiting here for a long time."

"Isn't it because you are afraid and don't dare to open the door?"

Seeing that Zilanxuan was still afraid to open the door, many people began to taunt him.

Upstairs, Qin Huaiyu looked at the emotional scene with a smile on his face. He turned to Zi Nu and said, "You can open the door now. Let me give them my first question."

"Yes."

Zi Nu nodded, turned and went downstairs.

"Hey, hey! It's open, it's open!"

In the expectant eyes of many people, the door of Zilanxuan slowly opened.

However, it is different from what everyone imagined.

After the door opened, there was no welcome performance, and no one welcomed them in. Just a young woman in a long skirt walked out.

Qingyin held a wooden plate in her hand, walked to the door, looked at everyone and said:
"Today, Zilanxuan opens its doors to welcome guests."

"However, not everyone is qualified to visit our Zilan Pavilion."

Qingyin's words immediately aroused the interest of many people.

"What are the conditions then?"

"Yes, yes, come on, come on!"

Faced with everyone's urging, Qingyin said calmly: "This ordinary way is nothing more than money."

"But in Zilanxuan, there is another way to eat and drink for free."

Saying that, Qingyin raised the tray in his hand.

"The solution is in my hands."

Everyone looked around and saw a roll of paper placed on the tray.

"Could it be that the question is correct?" The smart person thought of today's topic and immediately thought of something.

"This young man is so witty and hits the mark!"

Qingyin praised softly.

"What I have in my hand is the first question asked by the uncle of Chang'an County, and it is also the question of today's challenge."

"As long as you can answer the last question correctly, you can eat and drink for free at my Zilanxuan today. If you can answer the three questions correctly, I, Zilanxuan, will give you the one hundred taels of gold with both hands, plus a piece of my Zilanxuan. Lan Xuan’s bronze membership card!”

Before these people could ask what the bronze membership card was, Qingyin continued: "I think you all can't wait any longer."

"Then next, I will announce the first question asked by the uncle of Chang'an County."

When they heard that Qingyin was about to start a question, everyone began to lower their voices, for fear that they would not be able to hear the question and miss this opportunity to gain fame and fortune.

Upstairs, Li Shimin asked with great interest: "What kind of questions do you think this kid knows?"

"I guess it's a couplet."

"Simple and concise, the difficulty of getting started is relatively low."

Fang Xuanling pinched his beard and said.

Sure enough, the next thing I heard was a voiceless voice saying loudly: "This first question is a couplet."

"The first couplet is..."
