"Sir, this is your first time coming to Luoyang. You must know the two major characteristics of Luoyang." After gathering her emotions, the indomitable Hanhan introduced Hao Shuai while walking.
"Oh, what are the two characteristics?" Hao Shuai became a little curious.
"The first is to use the north and south as the central axis, let Luoshui run across the whole city, divide Luoyang into north and south areas, connected by four bridges, and the Luoshui in the city is connected with the other three rivers of Yi, Jian and Jian, so that the rivers in the city are lingering
, moving the beauty of the landscape into the city, giving people the feeling of being created by heaven and earth." Huan Huan said.
At this time, a strange scene suddenly appeared in front of them. A sailboat passed by Luoshui hidden under the house. From their point of view, only the top of the sail moved, just like a boat on land.
Seeing this wonderful scene, Hao Shuai couldn't help but clapped his hands and praised: "Interesting and interesting."
Huanwen cleared her voice and said: "Another feature is that outside the west wall of Waiguo City, there is a Xiyuan Garden because of its natural environment. It reaches Xin'an in the west, Mang Mountain in the north, and Yique Mountains in the south, with a surrounding area of more than 200 miles.
, comparable to Shanglin Garden of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in ancient times, Waiguo City and Xiyuan are connected together, making Luoyang even larger."
The two of them walked along the street and arrived at the south bank of Luoshui.
Huan pointed to the bridge across the Luoshui River and connected the north and the south: "This is called Xinzhong Bridge. Just looking at the scale of this bridge, it explains in detail how Yang Guang wasted people and money. It is said that in order to make Luo the capital of
, Nahunjun moved tens of thousands of wealthy merchants from all over the country, and settled more than 3,000 craftsmen from Henan to live in Twelve Squares on the south bank of Luohe River in the southeast corner of Guocheng, so we have this phenomenon. "
"Yang Guang is called benefiting others at the expense of himself. It is really great!" Hao Shuai commented.
"At the expense of oneself and benefiting others?" Hanwan asked doubtfully.
"Isn't that right? He used his reputation to build such a prosperous city. No matter who takes over the world in the future, as long as the governance is a little better, a prosperous age can be expected." Hao Shuai explained, and at the same time silently added in his heart:
In fact, this person is talking about me.
Hao Shuai has already planned to set up his capital in Luoyang in the future!
The whole morning passed like this while Hao Shuai and Huan Huan were strolling around.
Near noon, Hao Shuai found an inn and finally found an empty table. After ordering some Luoyang special delicacies, he observed the situation in the inn out of boredom.
It can only be said that the inn at this time is very chaotic. More than half of the tables are occupied by people from the martial arts world holding knives and swords. Looking at their energetic appearance, you can tell that they are all successful martial arts without using Qi sensing.
Guy.
This situation is not limited to the inn. In fact, Hao Shuai discovered it during the morning stroll.
"It seems that Cihang Jingzhai knows how to do publicity!" Hao Shuai couldn't help but sigh. He knew that this was entirely caused by the rumors that He Shibi was about to appear in Luoyang and Daitian to elect the emperor.
Thinking of the great drama in the original work, directed by Cihang Jingzhai, starring the second son of the Li family, and a group of heroes from the world of martial arts as supporting actors, Hao Shuai couldn't help but want to laugh out loud.
"You want to promote Cihang Jingzhai by choosing an emperor on behalf of heaven, right? There's still some time before the big show starts, huh~~ Let's see how I concoct you!" Hao Shuai said to himself.
After making up his mind, Hao Shuai finished lunch with Huan Huan in a leisurely manner, got up and walked outside.
…
Manqingyuan is the most famous brothel in Luoyang. It is as famous as Sanhua House in Chengdu and Shanglinyuan in Chang'an. It is the most famous place of romance in the world. Its three most popular girls are Qingju, Qinglian and
Qingping, known as the "Three Flowers of Manqing".
So when Hao Shuai led Huan Huan to the gate of Manqing Courtyard, he was greeted by Huan Huan's surprised look.
In response, Hao Shuai just said softly: "Let's go, Master will take you in to learn how to serve others. You must study hard."
After saying that, he led Hanhan, who looked confused, into the door.
Because it was still noon, Manqing Courtyard was not open to the public yet, so when the painted old madam saw Hao Shuai, she was a little stunned for a moment. Fortunately, her good professionalism made her react quickly, with a smile on her face.
, hurriedly greeted him: "Hey~~Isn't this you, uncle! I haven't been here for so long, but Qingxian~~~"
The old madam couldn't go on talking about this, because she saw Huan Huan following Hao Shuai. Even the old madams who had seen countless women were shocked by Huan Huan's appearance, and they randomly reacted: Someone come and bring her.
If such a stunning beauty comes to Manqingyuan, she's not here to cause trouble, is she?
"Ask Shangguan Long to come see me and tell Hao Shuai to find him." Hao Shuai gave the order directly without explaining why he brought a woman to a brothel.
"Hao Shuai?" The old bustard thought for a while, then his face suddenly changed and he said, "Are you the Demon God Hao Shuai?"
"Go quickly~~" Hao Shuai said impatiently, and then walked inside.
As Hao Shuai wandered around, he became more and more satisfied with Manqingyuan.
This Manqing Courtyard is indeed the largest brothel in Luoyang, and its design is even more unique. The entire Manqing Courtyard is composed of four three-story buildings in the southeast, northwest and northwest, surrounding a 50-foot-wide garden in the middle.
There are more than ten wing rooms on each floor of the heavy building. The side facing the garden has a window to separate the terrace, so that people in the wing rooms can have an unobstructed view of the central garden.
Compared with the buildings in the south, the Manqing Courtyard is obviously superior in scale, luxury and splendor. It is especially different from the elegant, simple, exquisite and beautiful mansions in the Jiangnan area.
The entire Manqing Courtyard fully embodies the combination and application of "separation" and "transparency", giving full play to a huge, tight, closed feeling of virtuality and reality.
Although the building is the main body, it actually uses the central garden as the soul, combining the inside and outside spaces into a whole, using limited space to create infinite artistic conception.
There are connected half-corridors on the side of the double tower facing the central garden, which not only enhances the sense of space in the central garden, but also further connects the four double towers together.
There is a large fish pond at the core of the garden, which adds exciting vitality to the space.
The open space around the pool is filled with verdant green grass and artificial streams, which are formed by gravel paths around the pool. From a height, you can see the pleasing pattern formed by the paths and green grass.
When the path reaches the stream, it forms a small arched bridge, making the entire garden landscape never monotonous.
Whether there is a performance or a duel in the garden, people in the surrounding rooms can watch it at the same time. It can be seen that Shangguan Long, as the owner of the brothel, is indeed very skilled.
When Hao Shuai finished viewing the Manqing Courtyard and sat down in a private dining room, a middle-aged man hurried in with the old madam leading the way.
After sending away the old madam, Hao Shuai took a look at the boss behind Manqingyuan in front of him, who was also a member of the Ming Dynasty Zunjiao and Yinkui Sect, and asked: "Are you Shangguanlong?"
"Exactly, I wonder what the Lord Demon God wants to talk to me about?" Shangguan Long asked cautiously. God knows that at this time, he was terrified in his heart.
When he was enjoying himself in Rourou Village when he received a report from his subordinates that the number one demon in the world, Hao Shuai, was looking for him, he was completely confused.
His first reaction was that his identity was exposed, and Hao Shuai was here to eliminate demons and defend the Tao.
Fortunately, after thinking about it later, it seemed that the Demon God had never gone out of his way to trouble the Demon Sect since his debut, so he made up his mind to come.
"Sell Manqingyuan to me!" Hao Shuai said without any doubt: "Just sell it for a hundred taels."
"What?"
"sell to you?"
Hanwan and Shangguanlong who were present were shocked when they suddenly heard Hao Shuai's request.
Especially Huanwen, she originally thought that Hao Shuai was here to have fun, but she didn't expect that he was here to buy a brothel.
Do you not only want to eat eggs, but also plan to pack the chickens that lay them?
