Chapter 34 North Bay
Li Yu held the sword in his arms and returned to the house, unable to let go of his love.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Xue Pan sitting bored under the tree in the outer courtyard, looking like he was desperate.
"Brother Li Yu! You are back!"
"Huh? Didn't you go to buy goods?"
Xue Pan laughed and said, "The heat is unbearable, and the procurement is very complicated. What's the point? I'll take you to a good place."
He is rough-minded and is not afraid of his subordinates being greedy, so he simply becomes a manager.
Li Yu walked to the pool, took a whetstone, carefully grind the rust on the scabbard, and said, "Where?"
Xue Pan winked and said with a smile: "You will know when you go."
Li Yu glanced up at him, and a knowing smile appeared on his face.
There is a shortcut to the friendship between men to make rapid progress, which is to explore mysterious places together.
Xue Pan was overjoyed, and the Li Yu brothers were indeed like-minded with him, so happy that he scratched his head.
Xiao Jinlian looked at the two of them suspiciously, feeling a little familiar with the smile.
Oh! Isn’t this the expression that Zhang Dahu often showed? He thought it was so vulgar at that time. Why did Brother Li Yu look very good when he smiled like this?
Li Yu coughed and said seriously: "Lian'er, how is the painting of the plague avoidance talisman I taught you?"
"Learn!"
"Learn? What does it mean to learn? Learning is endless. You must maintain a humble and cautious innocent heart. After you have only drawn a few pictures, you dare to say that you have learned it. You are really not motivated."
Little Jinlian was timid and did not dare to talk back, although she felt that she could.
"Go to the study to get yellow paper, draw two hundred pieces of it myself, think carefully, and come back to tell me about my experience."
"Ah?" Xiao Jinlian's shoulders collapsed. This thing was not easy to draw. Two hundred pictures were probably going to be dark.
"You won't go quickly."
"oh."
Li Yu drove away the little cleft, hung his treasure knife on the wall of the lobby, and then went out with Xue Pan.
Xue Pan is still young and has a widow at home to take care of her. Although she is fighting for cocks in Jinling, she has never been to the brothel.
He instructed the servant to leave, and he and Li Yu drove the carriage and headed straight for the Bian River excitedly.
"Do you know where?" Li Yu asked suspiciously.
"Why don't you know? I've already inquired about it. It's just on the Bian River, and those pleasure boats are."
When Li Yu saw the Bian River, he suspected that the river was dug up by man because it was too big.
The Yangtze River is several times larger than my original time and space, and I can hardly see the edges when I look around. If this is the estuary of the sea, I still believe it. But this place is obviously the middle reaches of the river, and there is still a waterway of nearly a thousand miles away from the sea.
What's even more outrageous is that it passed through the city of Bianliang. From this we can see how big Bianliang is, no wonder it can accommodate tens of millions of people.
When we arrived by the river, the water was filled with all kinds of ships, the small one was just a sampan, the large one was several meters high, and the mast went straight into the sky. The commercial tax in the Song Dynasty was very low, and it was precisely because of this that merchants from all countries liked to come to the Song Dynasty.
Bianliang is located in the center of the world, connected to the desert in the north, the Ming Dynasty in the east, the Tang and Wei in the west, and the Wu state in the south. Merchant ships from various countries come and go, and are endless, as if the ships from the world gather here.
There are two boats connected side by side, and there are also giants dozens of feet long, which are huge and huge.
Xue Pan and Li Yu have decided to have a brothel and will not open at the dock where goods are distributed.
If you have few big boats, go wherever you are. It is absolutely right!
Finally, Xue Pan circled around several times and stopped in a slightly quiet bay.
In addition to the large boats, there are also many exquisite pleasure boats on the Bian River. Some of these pleasure boats are brothels singing and dancing, while others are small buildings of wealthy ladies and ladies from Bianliang. When you are free, you can stay at the pleasure boat for a few days.
First, let’s cool down, second, let’s see the scenery by the river.
The two teenagers looked at the vast river and were a little confused.
Li Yu sighed again that he was like a frog in the well. The prosperity of the Six Dynasties seemed to have just unraveled a small scene in front of his eyes.
"Xue Pan, have you been there?"
"Of course not... I've gone a lot!" Xue Pan stammered his neck, and a fan was inserted into his neck. It was obvious that he had been dressed up carefully.
"And you?"
Li Yu stretched out a finger and stood by the river.
Xue Pan was a little contemptuous and said, "I have only been there once?"
"Always go."
The two of them were wandering around the river, but they didn't see any of them taking the initiative to attract customers.
On a stairs on the river, there was a middle-aged scholar fishing on the boat.
Looking at Xue Pan and Li Yu below, the middle-aged man smiled and said, "Doom, these two young people, guess what are they doing?"
The man named Dolf is a tiger-back and bear-back, and has a big figure, but only a sparse beard under his jaw. "The two thieves are probably trying to visit the brothel, but they come to the wrong place."
"Hahahahaha..." The middle-aged scribe laughed wildly, "Doom, do you think they look like when we were young? At that time, you and I first arrived in the city of Bianliang in Tokyo, and we also came to Beiwan to look for flowers and willows. Unfortunately, I didn't know at that time that this was the place of the wealthy family's pleasure boat, and there were no girls."
Everyone in Bianliang knew that the most powerful eunuch in the Song Dynasty, with the surname Tong, name Guan, and the name is Daofu.
Recalling what happened when he was young, Tong Guan couldn't help laughing, "Two rubbing birds."
"Look!" The scribe who was fishing suddenly became excited. Tong Guan curled his lips. This old guy hasn't been excited for a long time.
It seemed as if he was thinking of the embarrassing things when he was young, which made him more youthful. In the Song Dynasty for so many years, he had been used to the ups and downs and several times of worship. He had long developed the calm qi cultivation skills.
Tong Guan stepped forward, but saw two young men pointing at a pleasure boat, shouting. The owner of the pleasure boat didn't even dare to mess with him, and was famously domineering.
"There's a good show now."
The fishing was Cai Jing, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty. He put down the fishing rod, stood side by side with Tong Guan, waiting to watch the fun.
Cai Jing and Tong Guan, two people with the most powerful power in the Song Dynasty, rarely reveal a trace of their youthful nature, and the fire of the gossip burned in their hearts.
At this time, on the pleasure boat, a delicate and beautiful woman with black hair tied up a fallen horse bun, a purple lace on her forehead, and a drop-shaped red jade hanging from her eyebrows, giving birth to a beautiful appearance and a plump skin. She put a pair of round and proud snow peaks on the windowsill, looking down boredly.
"Oh, it's so boring." The beautiful woman sighed, and the clothes on her chest suddenly rippled in circles...
Suddenly, there were two teenagers by the water, one of whom was chubby, jumping and waving while yelling, "Hey! Come over quickly, the guest is here!"
The other one is a little calmer, but his eyes are also looking around.
Behind her, an old woman with a kind-eyed face was as frosty as snow, said angrily: "Two disciples, I'll go and deal with them!"
