Chapter 25: And such good things?
After Yang Xu traveled through time, he stayed in Yangjia Village. The current Jinyang City was the first time he saw the city in this world.
The walls of Jinyang City are tall and wide, with a radius of nearly thirty miles and a population of more than 200,000. They belong to a large city in the northern part of Zhao State.
Jinyang City is more than a hundred miles north, and is separated by a Jin River. It is the Beihu, whose national strength is as powerful as that of Zhao.
The Jin River is shallow, and when it is dry in summer, you can even wader by horses. Therefore, every summer season, it is the peak period when spies from both sides spy on each other to spy on the enemy situation.
There are a small number of garrisons on the southern bank of Jin River and among several camps on the side of Zhao State.
The task of these garrison troops is to monitor the Beihu army. Once abnormal movements are found on the north bank, they will immediately send a message to the Pegasus, so that the garrisons inside and outside Jinyang City will be prepared to defend against the enemy.
After decades of Zhao's establishment, the Northern Hu army repeatedly crossed the river and attacked the city of Jinyang several times. In the end, because the walls of Jinyang City were strong and could not be broken, they had to return in disappointment.
Therefore, both the defenders and the people in the city firmly believe that the Beihu army cannot break through the mighty city of Jinyang.
After many years of unbearable wars and disasters, all industries in Jinyang City flourished and the people were prosperous, and the whole school was full of peace.
After Yang Xu and others entered Jinyang City, they found that the streets in the city were already crowded and crowded. The bustling and lively scene was far beyond Yang Xu's imagination, and it was like a Zhao version of the Qingming River Map.
The villagers of Yangjiazhai couldn't stop looking around and were all excited.
However, they did not forget their mission. They came to a nearby street market, set up stalls, and started shouting and selling.
In the eyes of Yangjiazhai Village people, Yang Xu is a scholar and has a noble status, so naturally he cannot participate in their business.
So after entering the city, Yang Hongyu signaled Yang Fugui to accompany Yang Xu to stroll around the city and appreciate the customs and customs of Zhao.
As for Yang Hongyu himself, he took some women from the village to purchase the needs of the Moon Festival.
Yang Fugui is burly and has amazing magical power. With him accompanying Yang Xu, he can protect Yang Xu even if he encounters anything in the city.
Yang Xu's main purpose in coming to Jinyang City was to find business to do in the future, and he had no intention of shouting and hawking with Yang Xing and others.
After he took Yang Fugui and Yang Hongyu and others apart, he started to stroll around the streets and alleys in Jinyang City.
People in the world cannot live without the four words of food, clothing, housing and transportation. Among them, food is the most important thing, so there is a saying that people regard food as heaven.
So Yang Xu's idea came to the food.
He paid close attention to the large and small restaurants in Jinyang City, and chatted with nearby merchants from time to time, and then he became more concerned about it.
Yang Fugui followed Yang Xu, stopping and walking, scratching his head, and secretly wondering, thinking that if Mr. Yang was hungry, he could just go in and have a meal, and pulled someone else to ask, what did he want to do?
Yang Fugui is simple-minded and doesn't want to think too much. Anyway, the village leader told him to protect Mr. Yang well and fulfill his responsibilities.
When he arrived at the north area of โโthe city, Yang Xu found that many passers-by were gathering in one direction, most of whom were scholars.
"What happened ahead of me, brother?"
Yang Xu grabbed a passerby and asked.
After earning some money some time ago, Yang Xu asked Yang Xing to customize two suits in Jinyang City. However, when he was in Yangjia Village, he still dressed up in short brown. Today, the Moon Festival, many villagers in the village wore new clothes, so he also changed into new suits.
He has a tall figure, handsome facial features, and a good appearance. After putting on his shirt and robe, he looked like a handsome literary figure, even wearing a squid head, otherwise his short hair would be too eye-catching.
Seeing that he was very arrogant, the passerby did not dare to be negligent, so he hurriedly said, "Today, the four great courtesans traveled to Yishui River together. Isn't you aware of it?"
"When I first arrived in Jinyang City, I really don't know how to live in both people and land."
When Yang Xu heard that the courtesan was traveling to the river, he suddenly lost interest and thought that there was something to watch in the courtesan. With this time, it would be better to continue shopping and see what business to do.
He was about to leave, but the passerby said again: "Today's Moon Festival, the four celebrants set up several questions on their own flower boats to test the knowledge of all literati. It is said that those who can answer all the questions will not only be invited by the four celebrants to enter the flower boat to drink together, but each celebrant also has a hundred taels of silver to give them..."
Among the scholars in Jinyang City, there are many poor people. The four courtesans gave each other two silver, which can be used as their future ritual for the exam. If they can get fame and fortune in the future, there may be a good relationship between them and the courtesans who gave them silver.
In the entire State of Zhao, there are many examples of brothel women giving scholars silver to them, in order to find a way out for their future.
Yang Xu paused, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Is there any money to eat and drink for free? Is there such a good thing?"
The passerby saw Yang Xu rubbing his hands excitedly and said with a smile: "Brother, don't underestimate the four courtesans. They are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting... Especially Miss Yan Feixue Yan from Meixianglou is well-versed in books and has great talent. If she is a man, it is not difficult to get a Jinshi... How could the questions they asked are so easy to answer?"
Although Yang Xu was not very interested in the courtesan, he would not be unable to get along with the silver. He was worried that he would go too late and the silver would be obtained by others, so he urged the passerby: "Let's go! Brother, lead the way, let's go over and take a look!"
He and Yang Fugui followed the passerby, mixed into the crowd, and rushed towards the Yishui River in the north of the city.
Yishui River is a small tributary of the Jinyang River. It passes through the city from the north of Jinyang City. There are carved beams and painted buildings on both sides of the river. Its prosperous and lively place is even better than other areas in the city.
On both sides of the Yishui River are the places where brothels and brothels gather in Jinyang City. The four most famous flower buildings in the city all come from this.
When Yang Xu and Yang Fugui arrived by the Yishui River, they found that many ordinary people and scholars had gathered on the embankment by the river, and four exquisitely decorated double-decorated flower boats were moored side by side.
The news that four popular courtesans from the four major flower buildings in Jinyang City traveled to Yishui River together was reported a few days ago.
Some scholars from Jinyang City who received the news rushed to the river early this morning just to find the best location to see the beautiful figure of the courtesan.
In Jinyang City, from high-ranking officials to beggars and actors, everyone knows that the four courtesans are all beautiful women with both talent and color. Whoever is lucky enough to become a guest of any of them will undoubtedly achieve a romantic story.
"Fugui, let's squeeze in front and grab the money!"
Seeing the crowd surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, Yang Xu patted Yang Fugui on the shoulder and whispered.
When Yang Fugui heard the word "้", he immediately felt energetic. With a "hey", he inserted his hands into the crowd in front, and struck both sides with force, and opened a passage among the crowd.
He took a step forward, and Yang Xu followed closely. With only a few breaths, the two of them had already squeezed to the front of the crowd.
Ignoring the curses behind him, Yang Xu's eyes had already landed on the four flower boats by the river.
Among the four flower boats, there were waves of melodious sounds of piano from time to time.
Accompanied by the sound of the piano, there are melodious and melodious little songs, which make people feel refreshed.
Several young maids dressed up, dressed up, ran out of the flower boat from time to time, playing on the bow deck.
There are also timid and shy maids who hide in the flower boat and dare not show up. They just occasionally quietly lift up the curtains of the small windows on the boat to enjoy the scenery of the people outside the boat.
Some people who arrived early and were a little impatient to wait, after seeing several maids on the flower boat, their resentment disappeared.
Those maids are all pretty and have a nice figure.
Even if they are maids like this, you can imagine how beautiful their masters, the four courtesans in Jinyang City, should be, be so charming and charming.
