Chapter 30 Maqian Street, Li Shishi
Wang Xiao first learned about Kaifeng Prefecture in Bianliang through the TV series called Bao Qingtian.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Zhuang of Zheng built a granary city here, and named it "Qifeng" with the meaning of Qiping and opening up the border.
During the reign of Emperor Jing of Han, because Emperor Jing was named Liu Qi, in order to avoid taboos, Qi was renamed Kai.
After the end of the Tang Dynasty, this place was a place that military strategists must fight for. The changing king flag on the city wall was two days old. During the Five Dynasties, the Later Liang, the Later Jin, the Later Han, and the Later Zhou were all built here.
After Zhao Kuangyin stole the throne from the orphan and widowed mother, this place became the capital of the Song Dynasty.
One hundred and sixty years later, Wang Xiao came to this most prosperous city in the world.
"This is Bianliang City." Looking at the bustling crowds on the streets and the houses on both sides, Wang Xiao subconsciously compared them with the world he had been to.
Fuzhou City is incomparable, and Yangzhou City is much worse, and the lifeless Ming Dynasty capital is far inferior.
This place is not just prosperity, but also the real vitality. It is not the kind of living like a walking dead just to survive.
Wang Xiao sighed, "It is truly a civilization era that will be missed thousands of years later."
"Du Tou, this is Bianliang City." Ximen Qing looked excited. "After finishing the work, let's find a place to have fun."
For Ximen Qing, when he came to this most prosperous place in the world, his instinct drove him to drive impatiently. There was nothing he could do about it, he was such a person.
When Wang Xiao saw this prosperity and wealth, he was thinking that the northern barbarians went south a few years later and destroyed all the prosperity and civilization in front of him in the sea of blood.
"Do you want to bully men and women here?" Wang Xiao looked at Ximen Qing as if he was watching a shark withering.
Ximen Qing grinned, "How is that possible? This is not Yanggu County."
In Yanggu County, Ximen Qing can be considered a character, but in Bianliang City, he is considered a yarn. In this place, he may meet a lady from a yarn from a family on the way, unless he does not plan to go back alive.
Wang Xiao looked at him with a smile, "What Ximen official means is to go to the three-watt and two-watt house for a romantic life?"
Ximen Qing nodded vigorously, "I must treat you to you."
Rubbing his chin, Wang Xiao asked softly, "Does the great official know who is the most famous in the three-wall and two-house in Bianliang City?"
Ximen Qing looked at him with a look of surprise as a fellow man, "Have you asked for advice yet?"
Wang Xiao laughed and suddenly lowered his voice, "Maqianjie, Li Shishi."—
For those who like to drive, the top beauty is a limited edition supercar that makes him unable to stop.
A beauty of Li Shishi's level will definitely find ways to get it whenever Ximen Qing sees her.
The local buns from Yanggu County must not know who raised Li Shishi. Among these people, Wang Xiao knew that although Li Shishi was a famous skill, he was a famous skill that he could never touch.
As long as Ximen Qing dares to use means to provoke Li Shishi, Wang Xiao will guarantee that he will never have the chance to return to Yanggu County alive.
It is now the Xuanhe period, not Jingkang.
Wang Xiao took the Xiangjun to the yamen to go through the handover procedures, and Ximen Qing was impatient to find out the location of Maqian Street.
Arranged all the soldiers in the inn provided by the yamen, Wang Xiao went to the inn that had been agreed upon before and waited for news from Ximen Qing.
Wang Xiao, who was drinking honey water and enjoying afternoon tea, was looking forward to Ximen Qing going all the time. When he asked someone for information, he was told that the person was taken away by the Imperial City Office and the whereabouts were unknown. In this way, the matter of coming to Bianliang this time was basically solved.
But what made him feel regretful was that Ximen Qing came back with a look of bad luck during dinner.
"This little girl is pretty strong, she didn't even let the door in."
Ximen Qing came to Wang Xiao and sat down, picked up the teacup on the table and let it go.
Wang Xiao smiled and picked up the teapot, "It's normal. The more famous the more it is, the less easy it is to see it. Those who come from other places can visit them. What kind of famous skills can they be considered."
Ximen Qing smiled with a wretched smile, "It seems that everyone is a fellow disciple."
Wang Xiao’s eyes were slightly cold. Go ahead, you, who is the same person as you!
"Why don't you try another one? There should be more doors in Bianliang City." Wang Xiao deliberately stimulated Ximen Qing.
Ximen Qing was indeed stabbed and slapped the table directly. "It's necessary to find a door to Bianliang City to find it? I want to see what this Shishi looks like!"
"I am determined to be an old driver." Wang Xiao clapped his hands and applauded him. "Come on, I'm optimistic about you."
The next morning, Wang Xiao went out to find a shop in the house, while Ximen Qing headed straight to Maqian Street.
Bianliang City is prosperous, and Bianliang City has the most wealth in the world.
A South China Sea bead here can be sold for tens of thousands of cents, and the newly caught fish sashimi from the Bian River can be sold for dozens of cents after being conditioned in the hands of the fish girl.
It’s easy to say that the house is expensive, but there are always talks about whether it’s selling or renting it. But the shops are exaggerated. When Wang Xiao found out at Yashang that there were only three shops for sale in the entire city.
In such a large city of Bianliang, there are only three shops for sale, so the price can be imagined.
Not to mention the amount of money for the tiger-killing rewards that Wang Xiao has left, even if Ximen Qing’s entire net worth is not enough, even if it is just the backyard.
You can sell steamed buns on the street, but there is no way to drive them out on the streets in Bianliang City. But the problem is, where can I find big shots who can get the tables to buy the stocks without the shops?
Bianliang City is at the foot of the emperor, where countless royal relatives, nobles, imperial guards and generals gathered here, as well as officials from all over the court, their families and even servants.
People who sell steamed buns from Yanggu County will come to ask for benefits even if the business is not good. If the business is good, the hands that come from all directions can tear Wu Dalang into pieces.
So, a hard enough backer is a necessity.
Just like in film and television novels, you can make a lot of money by making good things and selling them. It doesn’t exist in reality.
Wang Xiao, who had been busy all day but had no results, returned to the inn in depressed manner.
Ximen Qing, who had been waiting here for a long time, rushed over when he saw him, "Du Tou, help me."
Wang Xiao was secretly happy. Could it be that this guy was targeted by the people from the Imperial City Department?
"I have stuffed a red envelope of several cents of money into the door, but I can't even get in." Ximen Qing complained in his heart, "I'm really out of my way. How about going with me tomorrow?"
Wang Xiao wanted to press Ximen Qing into the water tank, but the lid of the water tank was not opened. Of course, this situation did not work, so he nodded immediately, "No problem."
The next morning, Wang Xiao and Ximen Qing came all the way to Maqian Street, in front of Li Shishi's courtyard.
The environment here is good, and weeping willows are planted on both sides of the street. You can see the blooming pear blossoms through the courtyard walls, which is indeed an elegant place.
"Yo~ Ximen Daguan is here again."
The guardian obviously recognized Ximen Qing, and he greeted him warmly before he arrived.
Ximen Qing took out a few taels of broken silver and prepared to hand it over as a red envelope, but Wang Xiao grabbed his wrist.
Facing the puzzled Ximen Qing, Wang Xiao smiled, "Do you want to see Li Shishi today?"
If it was still dispensable before, then Ximen Qing, who had been in a row for two consecutive days, was already really angry at this moment. "Of course I want to."
"Get out a hundred-month kid."
Wang Xiao's words made Ximen Qing stunned. In order to see Li Shishi's entrance fee, he would have to pay 100 cents?!
Although Jiaozi's depreciation was extremely depreciated, as long as it was not in the four years, it was worth at least forty cents. Such a huge sum of money that was enough for a family of three to spend the previous year was just a door-to-door fee in Wang Xiao's mouth. Ximen Qing suddenly felt like he was on a pirate ship in his heart.
Wang Xiao waved his hand impatiently, "Hurry up."
Ximen Qing trembled and took out a few Jiaozis, but before he could count them, he was taken over by Wang Xiao.
The doorkeeper's eyes were red, and he reached out and thought about what to do, but Wang Xiao grabbed his wrist.
"We can give you money, but we are not a big shot. If you can't see Miss Shishi today, I hope you still have the life to spend this money."
Wang Xiao was strong enough to bring a strong sense of oppression to the door. He believed that Wang Xiao was not just talking casually.
The manzi gritted his teeth and took Jiaozi, looked carefully and stuffed it into his sleeve. "Don't worry, two masters, everything is wrapped around the little one."
Seeing the door running into the yard, Ximen Qing felt that his heart was bleeding. Such a large sum of money was enough to buy a beautiful little girl during the famine, but in this Bianliang city, it was just a fee for entering the door. It was so fucking!
Wang Xiao's face was calm and he was not worried at all because he believed in the use of money.
Of course, there is another reason that this is not his money.
After a while, the door ran back and bowed with a smile. "Two officials are invited to come in."
Those who can be the disciple must have their own ways. Although I don’t know how he convinced Li Shishi to agree to the meeting, it would be fine as long as there is a result.
Wang Xiao gestured to Ximen Qing for success, but Ximen Qing was very sad. I would do this trick with money!
The yard is not big, and there is a pear tree that is embraced by two people. It is the time when pear blossoms are in full bloom, and snow-white pear blossoms hang on the tops.
When Wang Xiao passed by the pear tree, he raised his leg and kicked the pear tree. The petals flying all over the sky were scattered with morning dew, and the fallen flowers were colorful and beautiful.
Facing Ximen Qing's puzzled gaze, Wang Xiao smiled, "Suddenly, it was like a spring breeze coming, and thousands of pear blossoms bloomed. Isn't this colorful fallen flowers very artistic?"
"It's indeed very artistic." A voice full of energy came from behind Wang Xiao. "But this is someone else's home. Don't you feel rude?"
The person who came is about forty years old, with a handsome face and a handsome face. In a simple sentence, he is a handsome old guy.
Wang Xiao's heart was slightly moved. At this time, place, and demeanor, he was so stylish. Could it be that Zhao Ji's prodigal son?
This thought was rejected by Wang Xiao as soon as it arose.
The reason is very simple. If Zhao Ji really stayed here for the night, even if the door went crazy, the escorts lurking around would not allow Wang Xiao and the others to come in.
"Sorry." Wang Xiao bowed and bowed, "I'm going to be down at Meng Lang. I dare to ask you, yes."
The handsome old man was quite satisfied with Wang Xiao’s attitude.
The Song Dynasty was an era when looking at faces. A handsome man like Wang Xiao would be looked up at by a high spirit. If it were Wu Dalang, he would have called him to throw him out.
