Li Yu returned to the house with the sword in his arms and couldn't put it down.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Xue Pan sitting boredly under the tree in the outer courtyard, looking as if he was hopeless.
"Brother Li Yu! You are back!"
"Huh? Aren't you going to buy goods?"
Xue Pan laughed and said: "The heat is unbearable and purchasing is very complicated. What's the point? I'll take you to a good place."
He had a careless temperament, and was not afraid of the people under him being greedy, so he simply became a hands-off shopkeeper.
Li Yu walked to the pool, took a whetstone, carefully polished the rust on the scabbard, and said, "Where?"
Xue Pan winked and said with a smile: "You will know when you go."
Li Yu raised his eyes and glanced at him, with a knowing smile on his face.
There is a shortcut for friendship between men to advance by leaps and bounds, which is to explore mysterious places together.
Xue Pan was overjoyed. Brother Li Yu was indeed like-minded with him. He was so happy that he scratched his head and scratched his head.
Xiao Jinlian looked at the two of them suspiciously, feeling that the smiles seemed a bit familiar.
Ah! Isn't this the expression Zhang Dahu often shows? At that time, I thought it was so vulgar. Why does Brother Li Yu look so good-looking when he smiles like this?
Li Yu coughed and said seriously: "Lian'er, how are you doing with the plague-avoiding talisman I taught you?"
"Learned it!"
"Learned? What does it mean to have learned? There is no end to learning. You must maintain a humble and prudent heart. You only drew a few pictures and you dare to say that you have learned. You are really unmotivated."
Little Jinlian was obedient and didn't dare to talk back, although she felt that she did know how to do it.
"Go to the study and get some yellow paper, draw two hundred pictures by yourself, think about it carefully, and then come back and tell me your experience."
"Ah?" Xiao Jinlian's shoulders slumped. This thing is not easy to draw. I will probably have to draw two hundred pictures until dark.
"Go quickly."
"oh."
Li Yu drove away the little burden, hung his sword on the wall of the lobby, and then went out with Xue Pan.
Xue Pan was still young and had a widowed mother to look after him at home. Although he had a lot of fun in Jinling, he had never been to a brothel.
He ordered the boy to leave, and he and Li Yu drove the carriage and headed straight for the Bianhe River in great excitement.
"Do you know where it is?" Li Yu asked suspiciously.
"Why don't you know? I've asked about it a long time ago. It's on the Bianhe River, where those painted boats are."
When Li Yu first saw the Bian River, he suspected that the river was dug man-made because it was so big.
The Yangtze River is several times larger than the Yangtze River in my original time and space. Looking around in the middle, I can barely see the edge. If I say this is the mouth of the sea, I still believe it. But this is obviously the middle reaches of the river, and there is still nearly a thousand miles of waterway from the sea.
What's even more outrageous is that it passes through Bianliang City. This shows how big Bianliang is. No wonder it can accommodate tens of millions of people.
When we arrived at the river, the water surface was filled with all kinds of boats. The small ones were just sampans, while the big ones were several feet high, with masts reaching into the sky. The commercial tax in the Song Dynasty was very low, and it was precisely because of this that merchants from all over the world
Everyone likes to come to DaSong.
Bianliang is located in the center of the world, bordering the desert to the north, the Ming Dynasty to the east, the Tang and Wei Dynasties to the west, and the Kingdom of Wu to the south. Merchant ships from all over the world come and go in an endless stream, as if all the ships in the world have gathered here.
There are two boats docked side by side to form a boat, and there are also behemoths that are dozens of feet long, and the river is huge.
Xue Pan and Li Yu decided that the brothel painting boat would not open at the wharf where goods are distributed.
Wherever there are fewer big ships, just go there, you’re guaranteed to be right!
Finally, Xue Pan circled around a few times and stopped at a slightly quiet inlet.
In addition to large boats, there are also many exquisite boats on the Bianhe River. Some of these boats are brothels for singing and dancing, while others are small buildings for ladies and ladies from Bianliang's wealthy families. They can stay in the boats for a few days in their free time.
One is to cool off the heat, and the other is to enjoy the scenery along the river.
The two teenagers looked at the vast river and were both a little confused.
Li Yu once again lamented that he was like a frog at the bottom of a well. The prosperity of the Six Dynasties seemed to have just unfolded in front of his eyes.
"Xue Pan, have you been there?"
"Of course... not less!" Xue Pan frowned, with a fan stuck in his neck. It was obvious that he had dressed up carefully.
"And you?"
Li Yu stretched out a finger and stood by the river.
Xue Pan was a little disdainful and said: "Only went there once?"
"Keep going."
The two of them were walking back and forth on the river, but they didn't see any one actively soliciting customers.
In a boat on the river, there was a middle-aged scholar fishing on the boat.
Looking at Xue Pan and Li Yu below, the middle-aged man smiled and said: "Daofu, these two young people, what do you think they are doing?"
The man called Dafu had a muscular build and a tall build, but he only had a sparse beard under his chin. "The two thieves probably wanted to visit a brothel, but they came to the wrong place."
"Hahahahaha..." The middle-aged scribe laughed wildly, "Doctor, do you think they look like us when we were young? At that time, you and I first arrived in Bianliang City, Tokyo, and we also came to Beiwan to look for flowers and beauties. Unfortunately, we didn't have them at that time.
You know, this is where the wealthy family's boat is, and there are no girls."
Everyone in Bianliang knows that the most powerful eunuch in the Song Dynasty was named Tong, Guan, and Daofu.
Recalling what happened when he was young, Tong Guan couldn't help but laugh, "Two rubbing birds."
"Look!" The fishing scribe suddenly became excited, and Tong Guan curled his lips. This old guy hadn't been excited for a long time.
It was as if the memory of the embarrassing things in his youth had aroused him to be a little more youthful. Over the years in the Great Song Dynasty, he had been used to the ups and downs, ups and downs, and paid several visits to the prime minister, which had long since developed a calm attitude in him.
Qi nourishing skills.
Tong Guan took a step forward and saw two teenagers pointing and shouting at a painted boat. The owner of the painted boat was something he didn't even dare to offend, and he was notoriously unruly and domineering.
"Now there's something good to watch."
The person fishing was none other than Cai Jing, the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty. He put down the fishing rod and stood side by side with Tong Guan holding the railing, waiting to watch the fun.
Cai Jing and Tong Guan, the two most powerful people in the Song Dynasty, rarely showed a hint of youthful nature, and the fire of gossip burned in their hearts.
At this time, on the boat, there was a delicate and beautiful woman, her black hair was pulled into a pony bun, a purple ribbon was tied on her forehead, and a drop-shaped red jade hung between her eyebrows. She was beautiful and beautiful, like snow.
With plump skin and flesh, he placed a pair of proud, round and proud snow peaks on the window sill and looked down boredly.
"Oh, it's so boring." The beautiful woman sighed, and the clothes on her chest suddenly rippled.
Suddenly, there were two teenagers by the water. One of them was chubby, waving his hands while jumping, and yelling, "Hey! Come over quickly, we have a guest!"
The other one is a little calmer, but has a pair of sneaky eyes and is also looking around.
Behind her, an old woman with hair as thick as frost and a kind face said angrily: "I'll deal with these two scoundrels!"
"Wait a minute." The beautiful woman smiled, "I'm so bored. Just let them come up and play with them for a while before throwing them into the water."
