Merry Xianggong Ximen Qing

() "Second brother doesn't know something." Ximen Qing explained: "Have you ever heard of the name of Lu Zhishen, the monk of Hua Shanghua in Jianghu?"

As soon as Ximen Qing said the name, everyone at the scene had the same expressions as before.

"Could it be that Monk Hua is Lu Tixia who beat him to death in Guanxi with three punches back then?" Wu Song nodded again and again: "It's no wonder that my elder brother is going to pay a visit to Daxiangguo Temple. When this hero sees him one day late, he feels itchy in his heart."

"The Daxiangguo Temple is only nearby. Monk Ruohua is really here, so we must make friends with him."

The fortune teller Jiang Jing also nodded again and again: "This Monk Hua disregards his own work, and makes a move for a woman who has never lived before. He is really a hero!"

"When my family was in Shizipo, I often heard the name of Monk Hua!" Sun Erniang also said.

For some reason, Ximen Qing recalled that in Water Margin, Monk Hua and Lu Zhishen didn't notice for a while, and was drugged by Sun Erniang, and almost died.

Hearing what Sun Erniang said this time, Ximen Qing was secretly amused.

"It's already late today, so I won't go to Daxiangguo Temple to look for it. We should go early tomorrow." Ximen Qing said with a smile: "Tonight, we will have a good taste of Tokyo Bianliang's delicacies."

The fortune teller Jiang Jing patted his chest: "This bag is on me. There are delicious food everywhere but good wine. I'm afraid I have to bring my own." <The wine?

As soon as the sun went down, the lights all around gradually came on.

There is no curfew in Bianliang, so it is naturally a city that never sleeps.

Ximen Qing, Jiang Jing, Wu Song, and Sun Erniang changed clothes and came out, but Shi Qian, who was very suspicious, did not follow.

According to Shi Qian, he knew a good place, but he could only go in by himself, unable to bring Ximen Qing and the others with him.

After finally coming to Bianliang, Tokyo, that place is a must.

Ximen Qing didn't pay too much attention to Shi Qian, but it's a job within a job, so it's right to keep a secret.

"Third brother, it doesn't mean that you are going to steal the dinner from the official's house in the forbidden area?" Ximen Qing joked: "Besides that, I really don't know why you don't go out with us?"

Shiqian coughed twice and then laughed out loud, with a funny expression on his face, as if someone could see through his fingers whether he was covering the copper coin with his left or right hand.

"Brother really knows how to joke." Shi Qian didn't respond directly, but took off his coat, revealing the night clothes underneath: "Brother, go back as soon as you go. There are always secrets in this business for a long time, so don't ask me any more." .”

After finishing speaking, Shi Qian didn't even bother to leave the door, he climbed up to the roof and merged into the darkness.

"Will the third brother really go to the forbidden area?"

Wu Song shook his head: "I'm afraid it's because old habits die hard, but forbidden places are not common places."

"With the skill of the third brother, it's not a big problem." Ximen Qing touched Lei Gongshi: "If you go there late, I'm afraid there will be no good places for the delicious restaurants."

The fortune-teller Jiang Jing took the lead and walked out of Xixi Tower. The second Tianshui Lane at the entrance was lined with shops of various colors. The repeated shouts and scents brought Ximen Qing back to the familiar Guijie Street in later generations.

"The wealthy buildings in Qinghe County all have special skills, let alone Bianliang, Tokyo?"

Ximen Qing followed Jiang Jing, thinking randomly in his mind.

The magician Jiang Jing seemed to be very familiar with this area, he ignored the shouts from both sides, and walked straight to his goal.

After turning a corner, without Jiang Jing pointing out, everyone immediately knew what their purpose was.

The scene in front of me can no longer be described by the words "brightly lit". There is a tall building standing in front of me, not just one, but five tall buildings connected together like five fingers in the city that never sleeps. I don't know how to use it. How many candles seem to break through the night!

There are still people shuttled back and forth between the five tall buildings, looking from below, they suddenly came to the fairyland.

A wonderland with many beauties.

Each high-rise building has four floors, and Ximenqing estimates that it is more than ten meters high, and they are connected by covered bridges!

I don't know how many girls are on the bridge, wearing red and green, all kinds of costumes are dazzling, as if you can hear the clinking of these girls' rings when they move, and see the pretty faces of Qiao Xiaoxi.

"Boss! What do you think of this place?"

The fortune teller Jiang Jing pointed out triumphantly: "This kind of place can be regarded as a fairyland on earth. Compared with this place, the Mansion House and Baihua House in Qinghe County are like thatched huts!"

"Jiang Jing, this guy! He must have deliberately taken him away from this road in the afternoon, so he can show off tonight!"

Ximen Qing thought bitterly in his heart, but still very much agreed with Jiang Jing's metaphor.

Indeed, Qinghe County, which is always dark at night, is simply two civilizations compared to this place!

It can be seen from this restaurant that the business scale and capital flow of Bianliang in Tokyo have reached an appalling level.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it was the first city at that time.

Before Ximen Qing crossed over, he also had the opportunity to eat in a certain big restaurant, the kind with hundreds or even thousands per person.

The big restaurant has three floors, most of which are private rooms, which made Ximen Qing amazed at that time.

How much should the rent be for this year!

But now seeing this big restaurant more than 900 years ago, the later generations are like shameless village girls.

"What is this place?" Ximenqing sighed inwardly, "Could it be one of the 36 official stores? Mr. Jiang brought me here specially, and it must be one of the best among the 36 official stores."

The fortune teller Jiang Jing gave a thumbs up: "The owner is really knowledgeable. This is Fenglelou. It is really the best wine among the 36 main stores. Although it is not the best, it is the largest."

This is the time when the business is at its most prosperous. The people in front of the restaurant are shouting horses, and all kinds of shouts can be heard endlessly. It seems that they have to drag their necks to make the other party hear clearly.

Some came alone on horseback, and some came with the whole family in a carriage, and most of them came here on foot like Ximen Qing and others. Not only were there guests who came to eat, but also many men in short shirts shuttled among them with baskets of various colors.

Did the per capita income of Bianliang in Tokyo reach a well-off level 900 years ago?

Ximen Qing watched the crowds of various colors come and go, and his heart suddenly felt emotional again.

In front of the gate of the building, there was a large group of men in short shirts who were either squatting or standing, tall, short, fat, thin, old and young, but the only thing in common was that all of them were staring at the people passing by, especially those who were walking towards Fengle Building. guests.

Ximen Qing was very familiar with the identities of these people.

It is said that once upon a time, there were three or five helpers squatting in front of Ximen Qing's house. As soon as he went out, he would come up to serve him attentively, hoping that his hands would loosen and dozens of copper coins would drop.

But what are these twenty or thirty people squatting at the door of Fengle Building?

Fengle Building is a place to eat and drink, not a spontaneous labor market?

When Ximen Qing was wondering, one of the group of people ran out, and ran to the fortune teller Jiang Jing with a smile on his face.

Ximen Qing saw that this person was in his 20s, with a mustache and a shrewd look in his eyes. Looking at the position where he came out, he was the first one on the left of the group.

Dare to even these idlers, black car drivers who are also learning to work, queue up and come in order!

"Ah, so it was you who came, but you disappeared for a while."

This opening line is really familiar.

The fortune teller Jiang Jing didn't care whether the man had really met him before, he just nodded with a smile.

The man in the short shirt didn't say much, he rushed to the door of the restaurant in a few steps, opened a passage abruptly, and shouted loudly: "Four distinguished guests on the first floor, please go upstairs!"

The first floor is a mess, it's not professional at all!

Look at the lobby on the first floor, which is already full of seats. Is there a seat?

"You guys are talking nonsense, where is this place? Or go upstairs and find a private room!"

Ximen Qing yelled at the fortune teller Jiang Jing, the restaurant was full of voices, and he couldn't hear it unless he yelled.

The magician Jiang Jing followed the short-shirted man and explained: "I don't know my master, but in Bianliang, Tokyo, this is the ground floor, so the first floor is upstairs."

Only then did Ximen Qing suddenly ask, "The idlers live in Fengle Building?"

"It can be said that this kind of helper squats at the door all day long, helping to greet and take care of him, and relying on the guests to get some rewards, but it is much better than those in Qinghe County." Jiang Jing smiled proudly again: " But what we are going to today is the second floor and the first floor, which is a bit unworthy of the owner, and that guy is mistaken."

The second floor is the third floor.

It seems that this restaurant is getting more expensive as you go up, but I don't know how the third floor looks like?

After hearing Ximen Qing's question, Jiang Jing explained: "There is nothing unusual about the third floor, but it is usually reserved for the most distinguished guests, and ordinary roles cannot be used."

This restaurant really does business

Wu Song and Sun Erniang didn't like this kind of big restaurant, and they were vigilant about the guards Ximen Qing and Jiang Jing. For them, it was enjoyable to eat meat and drink a lot.

In a place like this, Wu Song might not be able to eat enough.

Seeing that the second floor had arrived, the bearded gangster was going to lead everyone to the private room, but Jiang Jing smiled slightly and continued to walk upstairs.

Mustache was ecstatic, what is the third floor?It is not enough for the rich and wealthy to gain face by going to the third and second floors.

It's enough to do this vote tonight!

The smile on Mustache's face became brighter and brighter, and he was not at all annoyed by his own misjudgment just now, and enthusiastically followed everyone up to the third floor.

Sure enough, the layout of the third floor is not comparable to that of the ground floor and the second floor. There is a large patio in the middle, surrounded by private rooms, each with exquisitely carved doors and windows, and thin gauze curtains .

This design can make the privacy inside a little better, and the room will feel stuffy when the door is closed.

Everyone went to the house and sat down, and the noisy voice from downstairs was heard immediately, as if they had come to another world.

This is quiet amidst the noise.

Ximen Qing couldn't help admiring the owner of this Fengle Building, who has put a lot of effort into such subtleties, making people spend money comfortably.

Xiao Huzi led the crowd to a seat, and immediately got busy, making refreshments, and called the buddy over. Ximen Qing and the others had just chatted for a while, when the girls' voices were already heard outside.

The romantic husband Ximen Qing:
