Nine hundred and ninetieth chapters new advertising
Swish swish swish.
Everyone hurriedly turned their heads to look.
Sure enough, two carriages came slowly towards this direction.
What’s even more surprising is that all the colorful advertisements in the past are gone.
The sides of the carriage looked very clean and tidy, with nothing... No, there were still things, but it was different from the simple and crude advertisement of Cuihong Building before.
First of all, there is a very simple painting on both sides of each carriage.
The content of the painting is very simple. There is a white cloud in the upper left corner, the sea surface outlined in a few strokes at the bottom, and some stones and branches in the lower right corner.
It looks empty, but it is very artistic.
It makes people watch it, immersing themselves in it, and recalling it for a long time.
Many people saw it and were amazed.
In this era, Chinese landscape painting had not yet formed its own style.
A few strokes like this are full of charm, and paintings that take freehand brushwork to its extreme are very rare.
In the upper right corner, there are two lines of words:
Want to know what His Majesty the Emperor eats every day? Come to Xuanyuan Ju to find the answer.
These are two commonplaces.
Suddenly, many people yelled and cursed.
"Bah, these crappy words have completely ruined the artistic conception of this painting!"
"A waste of natural resources, a waste of natural resources. Such a painting can be called a masterpiece of the Tang Dynasty. I didn't expect that with these two lines of words, who did it? I'll fight with him!"
"Asshole..."
"It must be that king Du He..."
This guy is smarter. He didn't dare to continue talking when he was halfway through talking.
At this time, an old man suddenly asked curiously: "Is the food in Xuanyuanju really so special? Is it the same as what His Majesty the Emperor eats in the palace?"
"Bragging, how is it possible? His Majesty the Emperor is a monarch, and the things he eats are unique. How is it possible to see them! How is it possible that mortals like us can eat them!"
Someone objected.
Someone else said: "This is wrong. Do you know who opened Xuanyuanju? That is the current Duke of Xu, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Gao Shilian Gao. The master is an important minister of the imperial court and his right-hand man.
Entering and leaving the palace is just like returning to his own home, how could he not know what His Majesty the Emperor eats every day?"
"So, the statement in this advertisement is not groundless?"
"Exactly!"
"How about going and taking a look?"
Gradually, everyone's discussion was no longer about how excellent the painting was or how bad the text was, but about whether His Majesty could eat it at Xuanyuanju.
Someone is already ready to make a move.
It is impossible to be an emperor in this life, but if I can eat the same thing as His Majesty the Emperor, I will die without regrets.
…
Near Renshoufang.
This is the starting point of the five-way public carriage.
Early in the morning, there were also people waiting here, preparing to take the carriage.
Three poles in the sun.
There were not many people waiting for the bus, which was in sharp contrast to the bustling bus route No. 2.
The five-way carriage, from Renshoufang to Pingkangfang, did not pass through a prosperous place and seemed very lonely. Every carriage was rarely full.
At first, Li Lizhi even proposed to cancel this horse-drawn carriage, because this horse-drawn carriage was a total loss of money and impossible to make money, but Du He vetoed it.
The emergence of public carriages was actually not the original intention to make money, but to facilitate the people.
Nowadays, among the nine lines, except for the fifth carriage line, the other lines have a daily surplus.
So Du He did some random calculations and decided to keep this route.
The most important thing is that the advertisement for the carriage on this route has now been sold to Shen Wanqian of Cuihonglou. In order to express his determination to cooperate with Du He, Shen Wanqian went all the way and signed the contract in one go. The cooperation period of one year will bring an income of twelve thousand guan to the five-way public carriage in one go.
Li Lizhi calculated that with this money, even if the five-way carriage did not earn a penny per day, it could keep the five-way carriage running for at least twenty years.
After a while, a large carriage appeared.
Everyone was surprised to find that the eye-catching advertisements on both sides of the carriage were missing.
Instead, on the left side of the carriage, a woman's figure was outlined with a few simple strokes.
The woman was like an immortal descending to earth, floating and independent.
Fascinating!
The strokes are extremely simple, but they can arouse people's infinite reverie and imagination.
What a genius painting!
Next to it, there is a poem.
I was in this door last year today!
The peach blossoms on the human face complement each other!
I don’t know where to go!
Love and be loved!
This is a poem by the famous poet Cui Hu. It describes the difficult feeling of an infatuated man in the same scenery and the same place, but the person in his memory is missing. It is a famous line through the ages.
Of course, Cui Hu was not born yet at this time.
Several literate people present were impressed when they read this.
"Such a masterpiece, it must be the handiwork of the Prince Consort!"
"Yes, the Prince Consort is known as the best poet in the world, and only he can write such wonderful sentences!"
Some people even took out pen and paper and started excerpting it.
Suddenly, someone shouted: "There's more behind us!"
Sure enough, after this poem, there is another sentence: Uncle, come and play in Cuihong Mansion!
Suddenly, several scholars stood stunned on the spot, as if they were petrified.
Failure!
What a huge failure!
This last sentence is simply the biggest failure in history!
"It doesn't make sense, it really doesn't make sense!"
"Disgraceful to politeness!"
"Oh my god!"
Originally, everyone didn't see the Cuihonglou advertisement and thought Du He had changed his ways.
Who would have thought that at first it was a portrait of a woman who looked like an immortal, then it was an amazing poem, and finally it happened all at once.
It's like you see a beautiful woman in the woods. She has an alluring face that makes you want to stop. Then she has a devilish figure that makes you fall for her willingly, even if you lose twenty years of your life. The kind that has no regrets. In the end, when you took off her skirt, you discovered that the other person was a man, and the stick was stronger than you... Life is really full of shocks!
Several scholars cursed loudly.
Then, one by one got on the carriage.
This group of guys actually sat till the end, and finally arrived at Pingkangfang and went straight into Cuihong Building.
When the driver saw it, he cursed: "Bah, I can't stand you sanctimonious bastards. You keep saying that Cuihong Building is not good, but you go inside every day!"
The point is, there are many similar people.
…
Early morning.
The discussion of court affairs is over.
His majesty Li Er, who was aloof, suddenly showed a smile at the corner of his mouth, looked at Gao Shilian in the crowd, and said lightly: "My dear friends, I heard an interesting thing recently. There is a restaurant in Chang'an City called Xuanyuan Ju. "Do you want to know what His Majesty the Emperor eats every day? Come to Xuanyuan!" This is the first time I have heard of such a statement. Dear Sirs, has anyone been to Xuanyuan Ju? Is the delicacy in Xuanyuan Ju really as good as what I eat every day? Is the food just average?"
