Dajing Sun and Moon

Chapter 24

Yongchang Fang is either rich or expensive, and it is the home of the rich and powerful.

However, the place where the four people focused their attention was not the rich and deep houses and courtyards, but the neighborhoods and alleys.

Xia Houchun took a look, only to see the sharp-eyed Xiao Jiyue directly crossing Qinrenfang and landed on Tianfufang further ahead.

He murmured in his heart that these people from the Sichuan government even opened their restaurants in Taikang.

Immediately, a doggerel flashed through my mind:
There are no chives in Xinjin in the world, and the color is as light and yellow as three feet.

Dongmen pig meat is even more amazing, and the Huyang crisp is as plump as it is.

Bashu claims to be the best in the world, and the dried meat and cured meat should be a little spicy.This is the promotional sign hanging on both sides of the 'Heqi Smoked Meat Shop'.

Next to it, 'Ziqi Donglai' restaurant, 'Qinglongtang' restaurant and 'Yongkangju' top hotel, etc. are even more colorful flags, attracting countless customers, and the shouts almost penetrate the imperial city wall.

Xia Houchun knew that this street was the place frequented by the officials and doctors of the six government offices, and it was also a famous "sacred place for diners" in Taikang City.

Xia Houchun came back to his senses, coughed lightly, raised his big hand, and rushed into Tianfufang with Xiao Jiyue in a murderous manner.

I intended to only visit for half an hour, but after two hours, I didn't come out.

In the end, after Xiao Jiyue walked around Tianfufang, which boasted "the best food in the world" for three times, he just wiped the oil stains on the corners of his mouth, and thoughtfully suggested to Xia Houchun that "a gentleman should help a lady to lift things".

Xia Houchun blinked, glanced at the big elbow in his hand, and subconsciously licked his lips.

Xiao Jiyue raised her eyebrows suddenly: "You're here again!"

The honey cake and sauced beef that I helped her twist just now became less and less, and disappeared in a short while.

At this moment, she still wanted to steal it, so she snorted softly, ignoring her ladylike image, snatched the elbow, and gnawed on it as she walked.

Suddenly, she came to a dim sum shop called 'Wenxiu Zhai' on the street, and waved her hand proudly: "Boss, sweet-scented osmanthus fried cake, red date ice cream, rose shortbread, gourd fruit... half a catty each!"

Xia Houchun was dumbfounded, and looked back at Liu Wenzhen and the maid, who were covered with brocade boxes and oil-paper bags, and subconsciously said, "How many times has she been out of the house?"

Xiao Jiyue, who was carrying more than a dozen snacks and fried cakes, threw them on Xia Houchun's body, and said with a hum: "My lady goes out every day, and she still kills everyone!"

Before leaving the palace, Xiao Jiyue was still full of reserve, and even asked Xiahou Chun to help the next carriage, but as soon as she arrived at Tianfufang, her "nature" was fully revealed, not only squandering the thousands of taels of silver she brought, but even Xiahou Chun and Liu Wenzhen's pockets of ideas were exhausted.

Xia Houchun let out a long sigh, and then looked around for a week. The crowd was so long that he couldn't see the end at a glance.

Beyond Tianfufang, it is a place where flirtatious talents linger and forget to return.

As the saying goes, food and sex are sexual, and after satisfying the appetite, naturally one cannot treat one's own brothers badly.

In this way, the two holy places of Taikang came into being.

In addition to "Tianfufang", there is "Zhaoyuanfang" in Taikang Immortal City.

Zhaoyuanfang is not called Zhaoyuan. The original name of this square is 'Yongle'. Taikang changed its name to 'Zhaoyuanfang' because of 'Zhaoyuan', and Zhaoyuan is also called 'Happy Forest'.

As for this garden recruitment, it is worth talking about, Xia Houchun subconsciously smacked his fluffy little lips, a little bit embarrassed.

It has been handed down from generation to generation that the recruiting garden is exclusively for top singers. Their residences are spacious, quiet and elegant, with at least three or four halls, and many exotic flowers are planted in the front and back; Falling down.

And all the singers can write words, are good at talking, and can also balance characters, deal with them well, and are neither humble nor overbearing.

Non-high-ranking officials and nobles do not meet with Gaoliang's children. They have a lot of servants and horses all year round, and they feast and feast.

In addition to those top-level singers who are "scheming, literary and martial arts", there are also mid-range singers who "sell their skills but not their bodies". Peerless.

They are either supported by the bustards with all their strength to serve the banquets of rich and noble families or perform songs and dances in major state capitals, or accompany the drinkers in the buildings for people to have fun.

Well, it's indeed 'selling art but not selling yourself'.

After all, can it be sold without spending money?
These singers and geisha live in Biyuefang outside Tianfufang.

The low-class singers are scattered in the Yanyu Tower and Rouge Pavilion. They have no skills, and they have no ink. They can only rely on the poems and songs squeezed out by those romantic talents.

Well, if there is a great writer to reward him, then he will naturally "become a hit".

In addition, without the presence of talented scholars, and without lingering sad and sad love stories, then only relying on beauty to entertain people.

They often apply powder on their faces, apply heavy makeup, and lightly paint their eyebrows, so that they can lean against the window and face the door, and embroider and throw towels.

And day and night, he greets guests with a smile on weekdays, pretends to be shy, and greets them when he wants to refuse, saying, "Guests often come, please come inside."

As for the last time of following the street and leaning against the wall, independent dark streets and the like, I won't go into details, it's not worth mentioning.

At this time, Xiao Jiyue, who was salivating over Tianfufang, glanced at Xia Houchun, followed her gaze and jumped over Erfang, and landed on the outermost place where Yingying, Yanyan gathered, her face turned red immediately, and she spat lightly.

Mother is right, men really don't have a good thing.

----
Ziyunyuan, the royal club, where dignitaries and dignitaries gather.

But now it has become a gathering place for the talented children of the Xiahou clan, and two core figures came here today.

The leader stood in front of the pavilion, his stern eyes were incompatible with the noisy and lively feast of lights outside the building, he watched with cold eyes, like a person born out of this world.

Urgent footsteps came from behind, and after stepping into this room, subconsciously slowed down, then kowtowed and said respectfully, "I have seen the Second Highness."

The man didn't turn his head back, "Slap your mouth!"

Master Ziyun Yuan woke up immediately, and cursed himself secretly, this person is most afraid of being called "Second Highness" by others.

After he slapped himself three times, he said in a low voice, "I have seen Your Highness."

The prince quietly said: "Are you all ready?"

Master Ziyun said with a shy smile, "Three lives are enough to ruin that man's reputation."

The man waved his hand: "Go down."

Master Ziyun Yuan bowed and retreated.

That highness overlooked the crowds below, with a smile on his lips, he muttered to himself: "My good brother, you are really lucky, killing once is not enough, I need to do it a second time."

After hey, he turned and left.

He just muttered in his mouth: "What kind of shit, man of destiny, I don't believe this."

"The throne is originally mine."

Hastily bypassed Zhaoyuanfang, but crashed into Biyuefang by accident.

Xia Houchun looked at Xiao Jiyue helplessly, "Sister Jiyue, it's getting late, we should go back."

From Xushi to Haishi, it took a full two hours, that is, four hours, and even his feet were sore as a cultivator.

Xiao Jiyue, who took the lead, turned her head to look at her maid who was weak and forced to smile, and then at Liu Wenzhen who had a slightly bitter face.

She was a little embarrassed and said: "Hahaha, this, this Shangyuan Festival is really lively, and I have been shopping for so long without knowing it."

As she said that, her eyes suddenly lit up, "Hey, the Lantern Festival will be over soon. Doesn't that mean that the full moon is coming soon?"

With a thud, her maid slumped to the ground with blank eyes, and muttered to herself: "Miss, I can't hold on anymore."

Xiao Jiyue was a little embarrassed, stuck out her tongue apologetically, and after helping her maid up, she saw a crowd of people gathering beside her, so she quickly dragged the maid to get closer to Xia Houchun.

Just listen to "One arrow pierces the heart, one word."

A gifted scholar spread out his painting fan leisurely, and said disdainfully: "It must."

"The two dragons are guarding separately, one is hidden and the other is revealed. Guess two words."

Xiao Jiyue exclaimed excitedly: "I know this, it's a favor that doesn't surprise you!"

Everyone turned their heads and their eyes lit up.

Oh, it turned out to be a little lady.

The stall owner was a goatee. After stroking his beard, he nodded and smiled and handed out a small brocade paper lantern with a picture of "mandarin ducks playing in the water".

The talented man said indignantly: "Why did I guess right, there is no gift."

The stall owner cast a glance at him, and said indifferently: "Because people are in pairs, and you are just a widow and a lonely person, so it is not worth giving gifts."

The audience gasped, this stall owner is so ruthless.

It's simply murderous!
