Chapter 167 The golden wind and jade dew, the first time I met Li Shishi
The sky has just turned white. After half a night of hustle and bustle in the night market, the streets in Bianliang City are still very quiet in the early morning. You can only hear the sound of temple visitors in the city making iron signs to announce the dawn. The shopkeepers in the shops on Touxi Street get up when they hear the bell.
, each yawned and prepared to sell morning market snacks such as fried white sausage, blood soup, rice porridge, sesame cakes and glutinous rice cakes.
Xiao Tang had gotten up early and walked to the front yard facing the first ray of morning light falling from the sky. He took a deep breath, suddenly punched out his fists, and practiced the red fist passed down to him by Zhou Tong. Then he saw Xiao Tang.
Tang's body movements were fierce, and his fists and kicks made loud noises. His fists and kicks were so powerful that they were both hard and soft, and soft but strong. Suddenly, Xiao Tang's legs staggered, his fists were like meteors, his arms were like whips, and his waist was like a dragon's snake's eyes like lightning.
He struck out seven punches in a row, each move seemed to contain the force of breaking a monument or cracking a stone.
"Young master, your boxing skills are great!" Xiao Tang heard someone say something. He withdrew his fist and smiled at the person: "Brother Yang Xu, you got up very early."
Yang Xu looked at Xiao Tang steadily, sighed, and said: "Back then, I was doing a daily business of making a fortune, and I lived a life of spending a lot of money. I didn't want to be framed by the Nine-Headed Insect. Not only did my parents die, but also my parents died.
I also lived on the streets and suffered a lot in the world. Fortunately, the young master avenged me...
I have experienced all the ups and downs in this world, so I have taken the success or failure of life and death a lot lightly. Now I just want to use my ability to choose opportunities to make money to help the young master achieve a great cause. Even if the future is dangerous, I just take it as nothing. But.
..... Young Master, is what you want to do really imperative and must be done?"
Of course Xiao Tang knew what Yang Xu was referring to, and he also understood why all the close brothers who knew his idea had such a skeptical attitude. He still nodded to Yang Xu with determination and said: "Yes, that matter is of great potential."
It must be done.”
"Okay! I understand. Now that the young master has made a decision, if the young master needs me to mobilize money, food and materials, I will find a way to inform my close associates to do it." Yang Xu also replied simply, what he wanted
, he just got a clear answer from Xiao Tang. Now that Xiao Tang has given him an answer, Yang Xu returned to his usual shrewd and capable appearance and said: "Young Master, the new location of Jinfeng Yulu Building in Bianliang, Tokyo is about to open, and there are other issues involved.
The private visit to an official's house is an important matter, and the young master needs to take a look at it."
Xiao Tang patted Yang Xu's shoulder with enthusiasm and said, "Okay, when Xiao Yi and Guan Zhong are ready, let's go together."
"Brothers, if we know that we have to go to the new building today to conduct an enumeration, we have already been prepared." As he was speaking, Yan Qing and Xu Guanzhong were seen walking out with smiles...
Jinfeng Yulu Building, also known as the original Bailun Building, is located at the northern end of Bianliang Imperial Street in Tokyo. The building consists of five buildings in the east, west, south, north and middle. It is three stories high and has five spectacular and beautiful buildings.
There is a flying bridge sill in the middle that connects light and dark, arranged in undulating heights, well-proportioned, and magnificent.
Not only did this building make a living as a restaurant, it was also an important wine-making workshop. In the Song Dynasty, large and small wine shops and restaurants in Tokyo were roughly divided into main stores and foot stores. Those with a large scale and the right to brew and sell their own wine were called main stores.
Those who buy from Beijing Liquor (liquor warehouse) and re-retail and sell them are foot shops. There are countless large and small foot shops in Bianliang City, Tokyo, but there are only 72 regular shops. Back then, Baifanlou was like this.
In the hotel building.
In the "Book of Wine Names" written by Feng Yilang Zhang Cixian, who had previously recorded the names of wines in the world, the Meishou wine produced by Baifanlou was listed as the first in the city. Renzong of the Song Dynasty made it in the Tiansheng year.
An imperial edict was issued to anyone willing to contract the hotel's annual liquor tax, and allocate 3,000 small hotels in the capital to him.
Three thousand households were ordered to buy and sell wine in our shop every day). During the reign of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, merchants who contracted Fan Tower would also be given generous conditions in lawsuits. When the discerning Yang Xu first arrived in the capital, he fell in love with this place at a glance.
He built a restaurant and spent a huge amount of money to buy it.
When Xiao Tang, Yang Xu, Yan Qing, and Xu Guanzhong arrived at the Jinfeng Yulu Tower (Bai Alum Tower), they saw bead curtains embroidered on foreheads and bright lights.
The five sub-buildings on the left, right and middle are all connected into one, so that drinkers can walk freely and unimpeded. The second and third floors are mostly Yagezi for wealthy people and wealthy businessmen to hold banquets. The spacious hall downstairs has been used by Yang.
Xu hired craftsmen to transform it into a place for musicians to play music. Compared with the former site of Damingfu Music House, in the Jinfeng Yulu Building in Tokyo City, east, west, south and north, drinkers can drink and chat while singing along with the music.
In the prosperous Song Dynasty, the entertainment industry in the city was very high, and the people in the capital had an increasing demand for entertainment. From young children to grey-haired old people, they were enjoying themselves in Bianliang City, a gateway to all countries and a collection of treasures from all over the world.
Laughing and chatting in the Goulan tile houses, drinking and drinking in teahouses and wine shops. If we really wait until the day when the Jinfeng Yulu Tower opens, it will definitely attract literati and noble guests from all over the capital and even the Song Dynasty to visit.
At that time, the most prosperous country in the world was the Song Dynasty, and the most prosperous city in the Song Dynasty was Bianliang, Tokyo. The most prosperous place in Bianliang City, Tokyo, can be said to be the area where the Jinfeng Yulu Tower is today. Generally speaking, the Xiao and Tang Dynasties
He glanced around the magnificent, exquisite and elegant building, nodded with satisfaction, and said in admiration: "I have socialized with people in Daming Mansion, and I have seen many restaurants, restaurants, and restaurants, but I have never seen these five.
A magnificent and luxurious mansion? Brother Yang Xu has done a good job in taking care of this place so exquisitely!"
Yang Xu shook his head and said with a smile: "This Baifan Tower was originally a prosperous place, not to mention the reputation of the Jinfeng Yulu Tower. If it weren't for Xiao Yi, Guan Zhong and Liu Xing, the music studio would become a blockbuster. Just because of my contamination
The stinky common man is of no use."
After hearing this, Yan Qing said: "Without brother Yang Xu's ability to win through clever tricks, what use would Guan Zhong and I be able to do?"
Xiao Tang was looking at Yang Xu and Yan Qing with a smile, and when Xu Guanzhong recommended them, an old woman came up with joy on her face and said with a smile: "Is this Xiao Renxia Xiao Daguan from the famous mansion? Oops,
I am also lucky enough to meet a noble person today! This White Alum Tower... no, it can be called the Jinfeng Yulu Tower now, and from now on it will all be taken care of by Xiao Daguan."
Yang Xu introduced to Xiao Tang: "Young master, this is Grandma Li, the original owner of this place. These days, people are packing up their belongings and moving to a new place."
Although Xiao Tang felt a little repelled by Grandma Li's business as a bustard, brothels were a legitimate business in the Song Dynasty, and it didn't mean that brothels were the kind of bustards who forced women from good families to engage in the business of selling flesh and blood, so he also treated her
He also said politely: "For bothering Grandma Li to work so hard, from now on you and I will make a living in Bianliang, Tokyo, and we should take care of each other."
Unexpectedly, Grandma Li stepped forward as soon as she saw the pole. When Xiao Tang said this, the wrinkles on her face suddenly wrinkled, and she smiled and said: "I just have something to ask you to come to Mr. Xiao! Mr. Xiao, please
You are born with an exquisite mind and have composed many popular and wonderful songs. Now that your Golden Wind and Jade Tower has taken root in Tokyo City, I am afraid that there is a shortage of manpower. There are many clever dancing prostitutes and singers there. Look at it.
Do I need to use human hands?”
Xiao Tang frowned. Grandma Li said that she asked her girls to come to Jinfeng Yulu Tower to help her. She really wanted to use the name of Jinfeng Yulu Tower to promote her singing and dancing actors, Qing Guan Hong Gui (Qing Guan Ren is not good at performing arts).
Selling one's body, prostitutes selling both)'s popularity is just like when Xiao Tang collaborated with Cuixiangju Liu Yingyan in Damingfu. As Jinfeng Yululou Lefang became more and more prosperous, Liu Yingyan was also praised by people as they complemented each other.
Grandma Li is the number one courtesan in Hebei and Hebei Provinces. How could she not know the benefits?
Seeing the hesitation on Xiao Tang's face, Grandma Li hurriedly added: "Master Xiao, the girls are very good at playing, singing and dancing. Although they are not as good as Su Xiaoxiao, their piano skills are not inferior to Xie Yuying's.
Su Xiaoqing and other smart girls, even in the huge city of Tokyo, there are not many that can match the singers trained by me. I also know that I have been blessed by official Xiao at this time, and I don’t need to ask the official for anything.
For money, I just hope that after the Jinfeng Yulu Building opens, I can also ask my girl to show her face in the building."
When Yan Qing saw Xiao Tang, she couldn't help but refuse Grandma Li. She was thinking of taking care of her elder brother's worries. When Wen Yan beat the old bustard away, he saw a little girl in her early ten years old, who was half as big as her and hugging him.
The lyre, which is as big as your body, just walked downstairs with difficulty.
The girl's forehead was covered with fine sweat, her mouth was pursed, and she staggered forward. Unexpectedly, she stumbled, and she was about to fall to the ground with a "Ah!". Yan Qing jumped out like a swallow when he saw it, and put his arms around the girl.
At his waist, he held the lyre that was about to be thrown out with one hand.
Yan Qing gently put the girl down, and couldn't help but be startled when she saw her appearance clearly. The girl's bright eyes were bright and clear with an aura of aura, her eyebrows were like crescent moons, and her skin was as fair as snow. She was a perfect beauty.
Seeing that the beautiful girl still looked panicked, Yan Qing could not help but feel pity in his heart. He handed the lyre into the girl's hands and asked softly: "Are you okay?"
When the girl saw that Yan Qing's eyes were as bright as paint and her face was as beautiful as a plum blossom, and she thought of the handsome young man hugging her just now, her face felt like it was burning. She couldn't help but lower her head and said, "Thank you so much, Mr.
..." Although the girl's voice was soft, it was as clear as the first cry of an oriole.
Seeing the scene here, Grandma Li frowned and said, "Master, why are you so careless?"
Shishi? Xiao Tang was shocked. Could it be that the legendary courtesan Li Shishi, who attracted attention in both official history and the Water Margin, and had a romantic affair with Song Huizong? Xiao Tang hurriedly asked Grandma Li: "Grandma Li
Mom, this little girl is..."
Grandma Li smiled and replied: "Master Li was originally the daughter of a craftsman who ran a dyeing house in Bianjing City. Her father was imprisoned and died because of the imperial court's delay in dyeing cloth. I saw her pity and took her in..."
Sure enough, it was her! Xiao Tang nodded slightly, and then said to Grandma Li: "Mommy, this Master Li, my Jinfeng Yulu Tower wants to take her in."
After hearing this, Grandma Li was stunned, and then she said happily: "Master Xiao, did you agree to this? It's just that although Master Li has a good voice, she is still young and has not mastered her elementary school skills. I have a smart and considerate girl who is proficient in various folk arts.
many....."
Before Grandma Li could finish speaking, Xiao Tang interrupted her with a wave of her hand and said, "Mother Li, what I mean is that I want to redeem this Master Li."
