Chapter 2019
It is definitely not difficult to find Huayu Tower in Changsha City. It is easy for diligent people to find it while walking, and it is easier for lazy people to directly make a rickshaw.
"Rickshaw"! This is definitely a new word in the Song Dynasty.
Except for Jinghu South Road and Jinghu North Road, I guess there is no such thing on the other roads yet.
Because this is something that the Ministry of Science and Technology has just made for a short time.
From invention to production, the latest means of transportation, such as rickshaws, which replace horse-drawn carriages, have only appeared in Changsha City for less than two months.
Of course, the name of the rickshaw was chosen by Zhao Dongting.
He also made the drawings, but they were just named as the Ministry of Science and Technology.
This is not a high-tech product, it is a combination of bicycles and rickshaws, and it is considered a human-powered tricycle.
Zicheng is where high-ranking officials live. Every family has rickshaws and special coachmen, but there are still coachmen waiting for work in the corner of the street.
Because those big guys can use rickshaws at home, but not all their families can use them.
Those young men and ladies who love to go out for a walk need to rent a rickshaw?
The rickshaws that charge quite expensive at this stage are definitely the most reliable customers of those young men and ladies.
Ordinary people may not be willing to sit even if they can sit.
Zhao Dongting and Zhang Tingen walked out of the palace about a thousand meters away and saw several rickshaws parked in the corner of the street.
The coachmen were all squatting beside the car honestly.
They are not like this in the inner city and the outer city, but because there are many guards in the sub-city and they are very tight, they have to be honest.
"Do you two young masters take a bus?"
As soon as Zhao Dongting and Zhang Tingen walked over, a coachman asked carefully, but he didn't dare to make a fuss.
"Go to Huayulou."
Zhao Dongting nodded and signaled Zhang Tingen to get in the car.
The two of them took two rickshaws to Huayulou without asking for the price.
The coachman got into the car and left, obviously knowing where Huayulou was.
Perhaps because he was afraid of Zhao Dongting's identity, the coachman on the road did not dare to talk to Zhao Dongting. After leaving Zicheng, Zhao Dongting only looked at the scenery on the street.
In addition to the architectural style of Changsha, the rest has changed a lot.
This kind of excitement made Zhao Dongting suddenly think of the old Shanghai beach, which was a kind of exuberant and noisy lively.
Of course, it is not as chaotic as the old times hurt Shanghai.
At that time, Shanghai could conquer the world with its fists, and countless heroes emerged, but it was not possible in the imperial city.
When it comes to the outer city, it becomes more lively, but it is not as "exquisite and glamorous" as the inner city.
Zhao Dongting took the initiative to talk to the coachman and said, "Uncle, you seem to be a native of Changsha, I heard that your accent is?"
The driver asked before if he wanted to take a ride.
The driver who was pedaling hard with his feet in front replied in a very enthusiastic tone: "Young master, the younger one is a native of Changsha."
Zhao Dongting asked again: "Then what do you think is the comparison between Changsha now and Changsha before?"
"Of course it's much better."
The coachman replied without hesitation: "In the past, Changsha was not as lively as it is now. There were so many people. Haha, how could there be any rickshaw? It was good when the Yuan thief was not called. Later, it was really hard to survive when the Yuan thief came, but it was not easy for the Yuan thief to come. Back then, there were many people who were gnawing the bark and the turf.
Thank God, the Emperor General of the Imperial City has been moved to Changsha. This is a great blessing for the people of Changsha. Today's Changsha is something I never dared to dream of in my dreams!”
"hehe!"
Zhao Dongting also laughed and said no more.
I went to Huayulou to get off the car and paid for the car. Amid the thank-you of the coachman, I took Zhang Tingen straight to Huayulou.
It was only around the afternoon, but Huayu Tower was already very lively.
You can hear a quite noisy sound inside outside.
Xuanxue said that the fragrance of wine in Huayulou was floating all over the streets, which is really not a lie.
Zhao Dongting could smell various wines outside.
"Please be from the two young men!"
The turtle man who was welcoming guests at the door was still enthusiastic.
It seems that every brothel is like this.
Zhao Dongting is not a regular visitor to such places, but he has been here several times.
Zhang Tingen seemed to have never been here, and looked a little cramped, which made Zhao Dongting feel a little funny, "You haven't even been to brothels, right?"
Zhang Tingen said a little embarrassedly: "Grandpa doesn't allow me to come to such a place."
Zhao Dongting smiled, "It's better if you don't come."
Although it is harmless, if you sink into it, you may be ruined in this life."
He took Zhang Tingen straight in.
When the madam came inside, she received her, "Oh, these two young men are innocent. I guess they are here to see our poet girl?"
It is said that it is a madam, but in fact he is only about thirty years old and still has charm.
It was probably also a well-known role in the Imperial City back then.
Zhao Dongting pretended to be a rich young man and said with a frivolous smile: "Of course I came for the courtesan.
Where is she? Take this young master to see you quickly."
He said as he reached out to pat Zhang Tingen on the chest, "I have a lot of silver bills, but don't let me return home in disgrace!"
Zhang Tingen was a little amused and crying.
The madam swept across Zhang Tingen's bulging chest without any trace, and some light radiated in her eyes.
At her age, no matter whether Zhang Tingen's chest was a real silver bill or a pure chest muscle, it probably made her feel moved.
But then she still said charmingly to Zhao Dongting: "Young Master, the courtesan cannot be arranged by letting you meet you just by making arrangements! This depends on your own ability!"
"oh?"
Zhao Dongting said in surprise: "What does this mean?"
The madam smiled and said, "We poet girls don't want money and don't talk about family background. They only wrote half of the poem, saying that whoever took the second half would satisfy her, let him be the guest of the curtain."
"interesting!"
Zhao Dongting laughed, "Let me tell me."
"Peach Blossom Temple in Taohuawu, and Peach Blossom Fairy under Taohua Temple."
The madam said.
"This is simple. You can reply to the poet girl, the peach blossom immortal planted peach trees, and picked peach blossoms and sold wine for money."
Zhao Dongting answered quickly, and a look of clarity appeared on his face.
If he had suspected that the poet girl was just similar to Ashima before, then now he could be completely sure that it was Ashima.
Because this poem was taught by him.
Tang Yin's "Song of Peach Blossom Temple".
The madam was surprised that Zhao Dongting had written the second half so quickly, but she quickly walked upstairs.
There are not many people who can follow this poem, and there are almost no one who can follow it so naturally and quickly.
Zhao Dongting watched her twist her butt upstairs, and couldn't help but mutter, "What exactly does Ashima want to do?"
Chapter completed!
