Where is the Red Sleeve Move? Judging from the face of the old shoe repairman, it is clearly a place that is extremely noble and despised by him. Yuan Feng was about to ask in detail when Ye Kai said: "Let's go, I know where the Red Sleeve Move is."
."
There happened to be a few mule carts parked on the roadside. Chang'an is very good. The public transportation industry is well-developed. Cars, carriages and sedans are everywhere. The social division of labor is relatively fine. If it is a place like Lanzhou Prefecture, a well-off family will be able to travel in order to travel.
For convenience, you have to prepare your own sedan chair and carriage, but if you don’t go out often, raising several sedan bearers and two or three horses is a big expense, so it is extremely inconvenient.
Chang'an is different. The city is relatively large, and it takes a long time to walk from one end to the other. Those who can't afford a horse-drawn carriage and are in a hurry can take a mule cart. It's okay for women or the elderly at home to go out.
Renting a small sedan, taking two bearers with you, and not much money for a day.
This is the type of taxi that Yuan Feng and the others call. They charge according to the distance traveled and pay at the destination. The taxi drivers are all Chang'an locals and are very familiar with the streets and alleys. Just mention the name of the neighborhood or nearby famous landmarks and they can help you safely and quickly.
delivered to the place.
The mule cart was a two-wheeled cart, and the space was not very large. Eight strong young men could not fit in it, so they drove two mules. Yuanfeng and the four of them sat on the first cart, and the four guards sat on the back. Yuanfeng got on
Che said: "Let's go to Hong Xiu Zhao."
The coachman was stunned for a moment, then flicked off his whip and drove the mules forward. Taxi drivers have a tradition of being talkative since ancient times, and this coachman was no exception. While driving, he chattered: "Are you guys from outside the city?"
"Yes, let's come to Gansu."
"Even the men in Gansu know the name of our Chang'an Red Sleeve Recruitment. Tsk, tsk, this business is really out of control."
Yuan Feng had already vaguely guessed what kind of business place Hong Xiuzhao was, so he interrupted the coachman and said: "Drive the coach well."
The coachman shrugged his shoulders, cracked his whip and drove the mule forward. After walking two blocks south, Ye Kai suddenly said: "Turn left!"
The coachman was stunned for a moment, then said: "It turns out that your guest knows the road. This road is indeed convenient, but we usually go around from the front so that your guest can see the street scene of Chang'an."
No one paid any attention to him. The coachman stopped talking angrily, and then drove forward for a while. When he came to a village, he stopped the mule cart and said, "Gentlemen, here we are, ten big boys."
Yuan Feng and the four of them jumped off the mule cart, and the guards from the car behind came over to pay the fare. They looked at the magnificent building in front of them. It was not far from the bustling street. The entire alley belonged to this family, except
Apart from a small facade opposite the door, there is no other place. It can be said to be a good place to get some peace and quiet in the midst of the hustle and bustle.
The red background and gilded signboard hangs high, and the red sleeves are decorated with three Chinese characters. It looks like it was written by a famous artist. The front door is very grand, like a wealthy mansion. In the open space at the door, there are a row of sedan chairs and horse-drawn carriages.
It is a high-end product with exquisite decoration, and it is definitely not like the low-level mules that Yuan Feng and the others rode. Moreover, the coachmen and bearers are also dressed in high-end clothes, with silk skirts, lambskin waistcoats on the outside, and thousand-layer bottoms under their feet.
The cotton boots are comfortable to walk on and look like a professional at first glance.
There were four muscular men standing at the door. They were wearing pure black robes and bright red hero belts around their waists. They looked a bit like men from a public family, but they were obviously not. They were clearly just bodyguards of this entertainment venue.
"This is the red sleeve move." Ye Kai whispered. Yuan Feng nodded, looked at Zhao Ding'an again, still looking distracted, and murmured: "Didn't Xiaodong leave? Why did he come back again?"
Yuan Feng sighed, this brother is really an infatuated man. He pulled Zhao Ding'an towards the gate. The driver of the mule cart behind him shouted: "Sir, I'll wait here. After we've finished seeing each other, we'll go somewhere else."
"
Yuan Feng ignored him and went straight to the door to go in. A big man came to block him: "Sir, are you a member?"
Yuan Feng said: "I'm looking for your boss and report it quickly."
The big man looked Yuan Feng up and down, and there was a trace of sneer on the corner of his mouth. He obviously didn't have the same eyesight as the Yuchi family servants, or maybe the clothes of Yuan Feng and others couldn't catch his eye at all. He said stiffly: "I'm sorry.
Okay, this is a private club, non-members are not allowed to welcome you, the boss is very busy, and he doesn’t have time to see all kinds of people.”
It turned out that the coachman meant that he would wait until they had seen the whole thing before going to other places. The coachman decided that they, these old-timers, were not qualified to enter the Red Sleeve Recruitment and could only watch from the outside.
The young men in Xiliang have been living a life of licking blood from the edge of a knife all year round, so they naturally have very violent tempers. When the four guards heard the big man making rude remarks, they were about to draw their knives and come over to kill him, but Zhao Ziqian stopped them.
"You are a member, right? Isn't it just spending money? Come on, bring out the money." Yuan Feng gave an order, and a guard behind took out a sash bag, took out a large handful of gold coins and threw them on the ground.
There had been a light snowfall, and the snow had not completely melted. The white snow and gold were particularly eye-catching. The big man in black was slightly surprised. He spoke more politely, but still blocked the door and refused to let in: "Your Majesty, our Red Sleeve Club is a private club.
, you can’t get in if you have money, you must be recommended by a famous family to become a member.”
Yuan Feng became angry when he heard this. He was not a competitive person, but his brother Zhao Ding'an was so virtuous. If he couldn't find that woman who looked exactly like Meng Xiaodong today, I'm afraid Ding'an would go crazy. He secretly thought
I am determined to find that woman even if I destroy this red sleeve today.
Just as he was about to rush, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind: "This is a guest of our Yuchi family. I don't know if he is qualified to enter."
Looking back, it was Zhang Tietou who was hurriedly coming, with a carriage with the Yuchi family logo parked behind him. The big man suddenly changed his face: "It turns out he is a friend of Mr. Zhang, hurry up and invite him in."
A group of people entered Hongxiuzhao. Zhang Tietou said as they walked, the Yuchi family leader was afraid that you were not familiar with Chang'an Road, so he specially sent me to accompany you. I saw you on the road just now and followed you all the way. This Hongxiuzhao is the famous gold selling cave in Chang'an City.
, the forces behind him are so powerful that even the head of the Yuchi family does not dare to offend him. As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake, so it is better to keep a low profile.
Zhang Tietou had not followed others to fight outside the Great Wall, but had been doing business in Yuchi's family for several years. His speech and behavior were quite sophisticated and clever like a businessman, but not heroic. Yuan Feng said: "We didn't expect this troublesome red sleeves."
Come on, look at Ding'an like that. You just saw a woman who looked exactly like Sister Xiaodong and chased her all the way."
Zhang Tietou took a look and suddenly realized: "It's easy to say, leave it to me."
Walking around the screen wall and passing through the flower gate, you can see the elegant scenery inside with red sleeves, lingering snow and cold plum blossoms, small bridges and flowing water, giving you a Jiangnan style. If you were an ordinary literati, you would have stopped and lingered long ago, and you are very popular in poetry, but these old people are still
He looked intently, with a majestic look, as if he was blind to the beautiful scenery.
A woman moved her lotus steps lightly and stepped forward to greet several guests. She didn't look like a madam, but more like a lady from an official family. There was no vulgarity at all. This shows the strength of Hongxiu Zhao.
As soon as the beautiful woman saw Zhang Tietou, she smiled sweetly: "Isn't this Mr. Zhang? I haven't seen him for a long time, where has his wealth gone, and he doesn't come to take care of the slave family's business."
As he spoke, he glanced at the group of guests. The madam was a person who was used to seeing things like trouble, but he was no better than the thugs outside. He could tell at a glance that these eight guests were wealthy businessmen from the Western Regions. Judging from their appearance, they were either swordsmen or members of the army.
, but judging from his age, he is more likely to be a swordsman.
It's probably the Yuchi family who hired the swordsman. The Yuchi family does business on the West Road. It's normal to invite some friends from the road to come to Chang'an City to play. These rough guys are easy to fight.
There is a three-story building in front of you, which is the core building of Hongxiuzhao, Baoyue Building. The building is very high, and the carvings are exquisite. It is warm as spring inside. The maids and servants are all wearing single clothes. They shuttle back and forth. The hall is very quiet.
I couldn't see many customers. This is because Hongxiu Restaurant is of higher quality and all rooms are private.
"Xiao Cui, take the guests to the Dunhuang private room." The beautiful woman greeted, and then said to Zhang Tietou: "If you have anything to do, please call me."
Zhang Tietou said: "Mom Yu, please walk slowly. I have a favor to ask for. Did we have a new girl in Baoyue Tower today?"
Madame Madam's mother smiled and said: "Master Zhang really likes the new and hates the old. Why don't some new girls come to us when we are holding the moon? I don't know what kind of girl you are looking for, a Datong mother-in-law or a Yangzhou thin horse?"
Yuan Feng interrupted: "She is a girl with an oval face, willow eyebrows, and big eyes. She came in an agarwood-colored carriage."
The old bustard smiled and said: "Oh, I understand. Guests, please come into the private room and order dishes. This matter will be taken care of by the servants."
Then everyone went up to the second floor with confidence, and was led by the maid into the so-called Dunhuang private room. This was a room decorated in the style of the Western Regions, and it had a bit of flavor. Everyone sat down and took a look at the menu. The price was indeed very good.
Fei and Zhang Tietou ordered more than twenty dishes and two jars of good wine, and everyone began to wait for the woman who looked exactly like Meng Xiaodong to appear.
Zhao Ding'an still looked distracted. Yuan Feng couldn't help but sigh. A tough man can't get through love. I'm afraid if he can't find the woman today, Zhao Ding'an won't be able to be normal.
After a while, the door of the private room opened, and a woman with delicate features walked in holding a pipa in her arms. When everyone saw it, they all said: "It's not her."
The woman was stunned for a moment, then walked out backwards holding the pipa. After a while, Mother Yu came up with a smile on her face: "Aren't the guests dissatisfied? I'll replace you again."
Zhang Tietou said: "Mama Yu, don't hide her, we don't have money, please quickly invite the girl my brother likes out."
Seeing that she couldn't get over it, Mother Yu had no choice but to say, "I'm really sorry, the person you are interested in is not feeling well and can't come out to see the guests."
With a "bang" sound, a gold ingot was thrown on the table. Yuan Feng said calmly: "It's just a meeting, nothing else. Mother Yu will arrange it."
