Chapter 314 Sumen Scum(1/2)
"My family is unfortunate!"
Su Che sat at home and sighed. As for the cause of the misfortune, it was probably his unreliable brother who caused the disaster.
The brothers Su Che and Su Shi are very strange. The elder brother is not like the elder brother, and the younger brother is not like the younger brother. Su Zhe has been naughty since he was a child, but Su Zhe is young and mature. Su Zhe has followed his brother Su Shi since he was a child, helping to clean up his brother's mess.
If it were Su Che's own protégé, Li Kui would be fine.
I learned from Fan Chunren that Li Kui is still very independent and capable. He is also Yizhou Jieyuan, and he can be regarded as a serious scholar. But can someone like Li Yun or Gao Qiu be accepted as a disciple?
Not to mention being a disciple, she is not even qualified to let him take a look.
However, Su Che sighed for a while and found that something seemed not right. The Su family had a few incompetent disciples. It should not be a misfortune for the family. Then he changed his words and muttered: "It is a misfortune for the master!"
As for the teachers who inherited Su Shi and Su Che, it’s very simple! Ouyang Xiu!
It can be said that Li Kui and Li Yun were extremely lucky. The Su School can be said to be the most prominent school since the founding of the Song Dynasty. For example, Lu Dafang can be traced back to Zhang Zai and was called the Guanzhong School; for example, Sima Guang,
Cheng Hao, Cheng Yi and others were classified as the Luochuan School. However, there were many schools in the Song Dynasty, but they were not as good as those of the Chuan Dynasty and Ouyang Xiu, and far greater than the Ancient Chong Gu School of Er Su.
In other words, after Li Kui and Li Yun entered the Su family, they were destined to become the elite disciples who were most envied and envied by the literati of the Song Dynasty.
But when the elite disciples competed for the top spot in martial arts, Su Che was so angry that he didn't even have the energy to get angry.
Not to mention meeting each other, he was afraid that he would not be able to help but beat someone if he fell down.
It was already troublesome for him to have Gao Qiu before, but now there is Li Yun, and there is also the uncertain Li Kui. Don't look at the fact that Su Shi has already written a letter to his brother, telling him that Li Yun doesn't need to worry about Li Kui.
He will definitely not participate in martial arts, he has plans.
If Fan Chunren said this, Su Zhe would choose to believe it.
But when his second brother vowed in the letter that there was an arrangement, he didn't believe it. Not only did he not believe it, but he was also worried. Did the second brother Su Shi's guarantee come true?
I am afraid that the stone in Su Che's heart will not be able to go down for a while. He actually knows that what he has done is too much. Compassion is the moral conduct that a gentleman has towards his descendants, but he has not done it now.
But there was no way, because Li Yun and others were so unsatisfactory, Su Zhe decided to go his own way, deliberately annoy Li Kui and Li Yun, stimulate the fighting spirit of the two brothers, and strive to shine in the provincial examination and at least pass the exam.
A tribute isn’t too much, right?
Besides, after passing the Gongshi examination, he at least said something.
After all, only the top 600 in the provincial examination will have the opportunity to become a Gongshi. This is already a foot in the door of the Jinshi. Even if they are dismissed from the imperial examination, is it difficult for a Gongshi to enter the Imperial Academy?
At least, it is not a shame for the Su clan to have two imperial students.
Although he was deliberately irritating and motivating, Su Zhe was still worried. He called the old slave at home and gave him all kinds of instructions. He sent people to inquire about Li Kui and Li Yun's movements in the capital, and they must not report them in time.
As for Gao Qiu, even though he said careless words on his face, he still had a bright smile in his eyes.
But there was a rare mixture of worry and helplessness between his brows.
But at this time, Gao Qiu was in high spirits and clamored to take Li Kui to see Fengle Tower, the largest and most luxurious restaurant in the capital. Speaking of Fengle Tower, I have to say Baifun Tower, which is one of many operas written by later generations.
The No. 1 restaurant in Tokyo mentioned in "Fan Lou".
There is also one called Feihong Tower.
Anyway, there are many names.
However, Fengle Building changed owners many times, and each time it changed its name.
Nowadays, the owner of Fengle House is very mysterious, and the identity of the proprietor is almost impossible to find out. But this does not affect Fengle House's transcendent status in the eyes of Tokyo gourmets at all (mainly because the girls of Fengle House are the best in Beijing).
Just having good wine and delicious food is not enough to make a first-class restaurant.
A restaurant in the Song Dynasty, a restaurant that dares to have a name and a building, will definitely be like Fengyue when you enter. This is not to say that the restaurant is smoky, but when you drink, there is no graceful grip, and the dancers with waists like willows dance in colorful clothes and feathers.
, how to indulge? Without a singer with a clear voice like silver beads falling on a plate, singing the sorrow of the ages, how to drink? Without a geisha with enchanting appearance and sweet smile to persuade you to drink... What's the point of drinking in such a luxurious place?
Fengle Restaurant is the best restaurant in the Song Dynasty, and it even left a strong mark in history.
Every year, the Tokyo Oiran competition during the Shangyuan Dynasty is also held in this building.
There are also similar restaurants, such as Caolou, Baxianlou, Changqinglou, and Banlou.
But for Tokyoites, no restaurant can match the status of Fanlou in the hearts of Tokyoites, that is, Fenglelou.
Gao Qiu slapped his chest loudly and vowed to Li Kui and Li Yun: "Don't worry, brother has brought the money."
The expenses of the Fengle Building can be covered by three people and a hundred dollars. Of course, it is not realistic to hire the top dancers and singers in the building, but Gao Qiu guarantees that they will be of the highest quality.
In fact, Gao Qiu had never been to Fengle House. His impression of this restaurant also came from hearsay in the market.
Forget it, since Gao Qiu insists again and again, Li Kui will go with him!
Walking on the streets of Bianliang, Tokyo, Li Kui was actually very uncomfortable, and so was Li Yun. Unlike Li Yun, Li Kui had seen what super cities are. In later generations, cities with a population of tens of millions abound. Cities with a population of one million,
Third-tier cities may not even be ranked.
But even though Li Kui was well-informed, he still couldn't adapt to a big city where millions of people live in bungalows.
More than one million people in Tokyo live in bungalows.
It doesn't matter if you live in a bungalow. Everyone lives in bungalows, and the emperor's family also lives in bungalows. The emperor's brother's bungalow just has a higher foundation. It won't be too high.
In the Chinese tradition, the number nine is enjoyed by the gods of heaven and earth, and humans are not worthy of it. The emperor can enjoy the number seven, but he only has one chance in his life, that is, after death, he will be promoted to the seventh level.
The number five is the middle number, indicating the throne of the emperor.
In the palace, the most majestic hall only has a five-story platform. This is the reason. If it exceeds the level, people will not be blessed and will be punished by God.
Of course, this is feudal superstition, which is neither advisable nor credible.
The reason why Li Kui didn't adapt was not because the house was too low, but because there were no street signs on the streets and there were no reference objects around. They were all bungalows, so how could we use them as reference objects? Looking at them, they were all similar buildings, so it was easy to get confused.
However, Tokyo City still has some landmark buildings, such as Zhuque Gate and Baosi Fusheng Tower. The former is the main entrance of the inner city and the facade of the Song Dynasty. It is necessary to build it higher. The latter is the Kaifeng Iron Tower. But these landmark buildings
, you can't see it unless you stand on the roof, and you may not be able to see it on the street. This leads Li Kui to often have the illusion that Tokyo City is like her hometown of Mengshan Town, only expanded thousands of times. Then
It's very easy to get lost in the city.
This kind of feeling has never been encountered in big cities like Yingzhou, Yangzhou, or even Qizhou.
A city with a population of 100,000 could not trouble Li Kui, but Tokyo, a city with a million people, would embarrass him.
What he felt about Bianliang City in Tokyo was that it had a population of one million, was overwhelming, and was boundless.
The main reason why Fengle Building is famous is that it is one of the few three-story buildings in Tokyo, and it is not one building, but five buildings forming a building complex. There is also a rope bridge on the third floor that can be passed. Standing there
From the third floor, you can overlook almost half of Tokyo. This is the most important reason why Fengle Tower is famous.
As for others building three-story, four-story...20-30 meter tall buildings, it is not impossible. In fact, the craftsmanship is not difficult for the craftsmen of the Song Dynasty.
But don't forget, this is the city of Tokyo, and the emperor also lives in the city. Whose house is built higher than the emperor's palace, not to mention violating the rules.
Even the Imperial City Secretary couldn't agree.
What if someone with ulterior motives built such a building and monitored the emperor's every move from there every day?
After many twists and turns, Li Kui finally saw the long-famous Fengle Tower.
The five three-story wooden buildings with carved beams and painted beams are as new as new, giving people a sense of splendor and splendor under the sun. It is said that when the Fan Tower was built, the owner referred to the Lutai built by King Zhou of Shang Dynasty, but the deer
There are six high-rise buildings connected to Lutai. It is not the emperor who dares to build it at all. In fact, ordinary emperors do not dare to build buildings like Lutai. It cannot be owned by a foolish emperor.
Just like Lutai Xiu, I definitely didn’t dare. The owner took a trick and built half of it. After the change of ownership, two more buildings were recently added. It can be said that Fengle Building has been built to the end, and if it is built further, it will
There is a big disaster of beheading.
Gao Qiu winked and said, "When we enter the building later, there is a two-hundred-step corridor. It's still early now, and I don't know if the singers have gotten up. It is said that when the lanterns first come on, under the two-hundred-step corridor, the flowers are blooming.
, the corridor is packed to the brim, it’s really lively. As long as the brother likes it, he can choose it, and it will be counted on the brother."
Gao Qiu was not a stingy person. He rarely came out to play, so he naturally came to take advantage of the fun and returned home having fun.
Standing in front of Fengle Building, Gao Qiu was in high spirits, threw off his clothes and sleeves, put his hands behind his back, and walked into the building.
Before I could enter, I was stopped by the waiter.
The waiter glanced at Gao Qiu, who was wearing ordinary clothes, and snorted: "Do you have an invitation?"
Invitation?
Do you need an invitation when going to a restaurant for dinner?
Gao Qiu has lived in Tokyo for more than ten years and has never heard of such a ridiculous thing. He pointed at the waiter and said angrily: "Fengle Tower has been open in the capital for so many years, but I have never heard of the principle of requiring invitations for meals? Today?
If you don't give me an explanation, I will try whatever I want."
"How brave. My prince is hosting a banquet for guests. I don't want invitations. Is it possible for you to eat and drink for free?" The waiter was not a waiter at all. He turned out to be a servant of the palace. He spoke with a strange nostril and was very arrogant.
"Your Majesty, which family is your prince?"
"Why, you look unconvinced? You want to find out, can you retaliate someday?" The servant's sinister tone almost made Gao Qiu furious, but he didn't give Gao Qiu a chance to speak at all: "How could my prince?
Are you afraid of the revenge of the little people like you? Listen, my prince is the prince of Yongyang County. Within three days, this Fengle Building has been booked by my prince. You are poor and deserve to come here for recreation.
get out!"
"unlucky!"
Gao Qiu finally got the chance to be the host, but an evil slave appeared out of nowhere and ruined everything.
It's just that even if he has the status of a surrogate son, his thin arms and legs cannot break the might of the prince's family.
