Chapter 16 The Style of Fanlou
There is another update tonight...
Wang Fu was delighted and stopped, but saw Wen Fei throwing a pill and saying, "I see that you are both weak and you think you are a little helpless in bed. [Training Queen] This pill will be rewarded to you!"
"Ah..." Wang Fu was shocked and took it. He saw a small blue pill with mysterious patterns lying in his palm: "This is...this is..."
Wen Fei smiled mysteriously: "Viagra..."
At night, Wen Fei simply changed into a dress secretly. The Taoist robe that others could recognize at a glance was his Taoist robe, and he slipped onto the street alone.
Today, the capital of the Song Dynasty, Tokyo, has experienced seven generations of emperors and has been glorious for nearly a hundred years. At this time, the city of Tokyo was connected, stretched and winding, with wide moats and deep waters, and the city gates in various parts were magnificent and solid. The population was over one million and the world was rich. Bianjing had become a prosperous capital with a majestic, large scale and magnificent magnificent capital.
There were even many immigrants from places such as Northern Liao, Western Xia, Tianzhu and even Dashi who moved to Bianliang, bringing a colorful foreign style, making Bianliang, a political, economic and cultural center in China at that time, a world-renowned international metropolis. The population is over one million, and in this time, it is already the greatest and prosperous city in the world.
Wen Fei walked on the street and felt the prosperous style of the Northern Song Dynasty. Although there were still a few days before the Lantern Festival, there were stalls everywhere on the roadside, selling various lanterns, including balls, lamps, spears, silk lanterns, sun and moon lanterns, poetry lanterns, mirror lanterns, word lanterns, horse riding lanterns, phoenix lanterns, water lanterns, glass lanterns, shadow lanterns, etc., with a variety of varieties and exquisitely made.
Wen Fei, who came later, had the feeling of being a local bun. In modern times, the Lantern Festival was no longer as lively as before. Even if the students were lanterns on night trips, they would not see so many kinds of colorful lanterns.
There are many riddles hanging on the street, and scholars are guessing riddles with their own abilities. However, they look around absent-mindedly and see beautiful women, they can't help but recite loudly, hoping to win the hearts of beautiful women with their talents.
But the lady from the wealthy family couldn't play like this. She sat in a car with oily fragrance, hung lights as decorations, and was bright and bright. However, she showed her beautiful face from the car window, and smiled slightly, and then she sucked the souls of passers-by.
"Shi Shi is getting more and more beautiful. I don't know if it is the light of the moon or the original beauty." Someone sighed softly in Wen Fei's ear.
Only then did Wen Fei's soul beckoned back into his body and look at him sideways. There was a graceful scholar standing beside him. Although he was already middle-aged and even had a few traces of white hair on his temples, it did not damage his charm and added a few more elegant and elegant aura.
"The woman in this car is called Shishi?" Wen Fei asked.
The man slapped the folding fan in his hand, and the person who was holding a fan in the middle of winter pretended to behave, which made Wen Fei look down on him fiercely: "Don't you know about this brother? Shishi is the head of our Tokyo city, the courtesan! He is famous all over the world..."
"Is it Li Shishi?" Wen Fei blurted out: "Why do I feel familiar?"
The scribe suddenly laughed: "When I see beautiful women, I feel familiar. I always feel that the beautiful women in this world have a fate with me in my past life. But I didn't expect that Brother Tai is also a fellow disciple. Let's go, let's go, let's go and meet in the Alum Tower!"
As he said that, he threw away the folding fan with a swish and fanned it very casually.
Wen Fei secretly praised in his heart. This guy clearly knew that he was Shangfu, but he could still act like he didn't know him at all. He was indeed a free and easy person, and he was indeed a romantic talent.
But I still complained in my heart, this is the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Is it necessary to be so pretentious?
But he never thought that Wang Fu missed the opportunity to show off in front of Shangfu, and he was extremely angry at Zhou Bangyan. He never talked about Wen Fei's true identity.
But Zhou Bangyan had a misunderstanding, and he opened the folding fan with a chic style and smiled and said, "This is a fan from Japan, which is exquisite. I'm afraid I have never seen it before!"
I don’t know how many folding fans Wenfei has seen, as long as they are indispensable in costume dramas. But the first time I heard that they actually came from Japan, I couldn’t help but be surprised: “Is this from Japan?”
Zhou Bangyan smiled and said: "The country of Japan is poor and weak, but it has a fan and a Japanese sword, which is both amazing! However, the craftsmen of my Song Dynasty have returned to manufacture this fan, and the craftsmanship is much more exquisite than that of the Japanese. However, the Japanese sword, with hair blowing and hair cut off, is extremely sharp, but it is something that I cannot manufacture in the Song Dynasty."
Grandma, I get angry when I hear the little Japanese man. When I meet those angry young men in later generations and smash Japanese goods, I must smash your fan. This is the first time Wen Fei heard news from Japan in the Northern Song Dynasty. Out of the mentality of an angry young men in later generations, he couldn't help but ask: "So what about Japan now?"
Wen Fei asked this question too broadly. Zhou Bangyan thought about it and said with a smile: "There is a record in "New Book of Tang. Biography of Japan": In the first year of Xianheng, the Japanese country sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty. At this time, the Japanese country had learned a little about Xia's words and was criticized for being a Japanese name. The envoy said that because he had recently appeared, he was named after the Japanese country. Therefore, the official name of Japan should be called Japan."
As he said that, he bumped into Wen Fei with his shoulder, and gave Wen Fei an expression that only men understood, and said ambiguously: "I heard that there are many Japanese women in Jiangnan who come to the Song Dynasty to borrow seeds, hoping to improve the varieties. With the talents of brother Taiwan, if they are attracted by Japanese women, they may have the chance to borrow seeds..."
When men talked about this topic, the relationship naturally quickly got closer. After chatting for a few words, the two sides reported their names to each other. The middle-aged scholar smiled and said, "Next Zhou Bangyan, whose courtesy name is Meicheng."
Wen Fei also followed suit and said, "Below Wen Chongxiao... Oh, you are Zhou Bangyan..."
Wen Fei had known who this guy was for a long time, and he had already made arrangements for this coincidence. Naturally, he would not be surprised that he was lucky enough to meet such a big poet even if he was just walking around. He pretended to greet Zhou Bangyan.
Zhou Bangyan smiled and said, "Even if you are going down. I'm walking, I'm not an ordinary person. Let's go to the Alum Tower tonight and see Shishi's car going back. We might be able to invite Shishi to accompany you to drink!"
After being pulled all the way by Zhou Bangyan, the two of them went to the alum building through a lot of hardships. Tonight, those in the main hotels and hotels had excellent business and people with status would not run to the streets and crowded. Most of them were looking for a restaurant, sitting by the window, drinking and watching the lights, and enjoying themselves.
There are only lyricists like Zhou Bangyan who promoted Dasheng Mansion to manage the music of the court. He had no real power in his hands. He was very shabby and could only find some fun on the street. If it weren't for Wang Fu's request that he wait for a friend here today and take him to have fun. And he saw Wen Fei, who was stupid, but his clothes were never ostentatious, but they were definitely carefully sewn by famous masters. Some of the small decorations on his body were also rich and noble. He knew that this was a big man, otherwise he wouldn't have been so enthusiastic. He just wanted to catch a rich man!
During such a festival, the alum building is naturally full of guests. The price is much higher than usual. Zhou Bangyan’s own salary is only jealous. However, Zhou Bangyan said that when he came to the brothel, he never had to spend money.
Alum Tower is the most famous restaurant in Tokyo, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, and is the first of the 72 restaurants. It was even more lively tonight. There were bustling traffic, and there were luxurious carriages of various colors everywhere, crowded.
The entire alum building consists of five buildings in the east, west, south, north and middle. The three floors are high, the five floors face each other, the flying bridge railings are connected with each other, and the light and darkness are connected. The overall building is undulating and undulating, with eaves intersecting.
Especially on this Lantern Festival night, the roof eaves and stairs and flying bridges are covered with colorful lights. In front of the main entrance, there is a huge colorful house gate. Within hundreds of steps around it, there is a bright light. A huge heat wave hits the face, which makes people sweat in a moment. I forgot that it was the night of the first lunar month and thought it was a hot summer.
There was a sea of light standing in front of me, with dozens of meters of lights rising into the sky. I don’t know how many candles I used, but it seemed to illuminate the sky. No, this is not the only mountain. There are people who shuttle back and forth between the "mountain peaks" as tall as five fingers. Looking down, it looks like a god in the sky.
Wen Fei originally thought that he had seen the prosperity of later generations, and thought that nothing in the Northern Song Dynasty was amazed by him. He also thought that it was not difficult to copy a house in modern time and space, but when he saw it tonight, he was a little breathful.
He originally had the intention of investigating the entertainment industry of the time and space of the Northern Song Dynasty. Fortunately, modern time and space have launched their own plans. Naturally, he had to see the Alum Tower, known as the number one in Bianjing.
"Liangyuan sings and dances are full of romantic style, and the wine is like a knife to relieve sorrow. I remember that I have many fun in my youth, and the lights are coming to the alum tower late at night." Zhou Bangyan smiled and said, "It's almost time for the Lantern Festival night, and the alum tower is more lively than usual. We're the right time tonight!"
This place is not just a restaurant, but is used as a perspective of later generations. It is simply a large entertainment venue like the heavenly rén guinea pig, and it is not just about eating and drinking.
Each tall building has four floors, more than ten meters high, and is connected by a bridge. A beautiful girl walks on it and is shining by bright lights. She is not as beautiful as a fairy dancing in the sky?
Such a scene of charming and swallowing is like a drunken scene before going upstairs.
This is the time when business is the most prosperous. People in front of the restaurant are shouting horses and shouting loudly. Some come on horseback alone, some are sitting in tall carriages, and more are walking forward like Wen Fei and the other are walking.
Some people bring their followers, some call their friends, and the most common ones are short-shirt characters carrying baskets. (To be continued...)
