At dusk in Kyoto, the setting sun lingered in the wind, and the sunset glow burned half of the sky red, burying the capital in boundless red, adding a lot of haziness and poetry to the prosperous imperial capital.
In mid-summer, early morning and dusk are most popular. The morning is cool, but many people cannot enjoy it due to snoozing and other reasons; the dusk is different. Most of the dreary heat of the day has dissipated. People who have been busy or recreational for a day can enjoy such a comfortable dusk.
The already bustling imperial capital became even more lively, with busy traffic and pedestrians.
Located in Xicheng District, Zuixian Tower is one of the most famous restaurants in Beijing. With jade inlays, carved railings and cornices, it looks like it is flying into the clouds. There is a couplet pasted at the door of Zuixian Tower. The first couplet is "King Wen of Zhou visited Taigong and knew how to stop the car"; the second couplet is "Han Xiao He chased Han Xin and dismounted after hearing the fragrance."
Zuixian Tower has always been a place where literati, warriors and travelers from the capital gathered to drink, chat, and talk.
Still today.
The restaurant was noisy and the seats were packed. There were literati and martial artists sitting at tables, drinking wine and talking loudly.
If you want to be quieter, you can go to the private rooms on the second and third floors. The decoration inside is exquisite, elegant and very comfortable.
At this time, Zhu Pingan, Li Shu, Hua'er, Naughty Child and Little Loli were dining in the private room on the second floor.
The Marquis of Linhuai went out to visit friends in the afternoon, so Zhu Pingan took Li Shu, Hua'er and the others to go boating on the Shicha Sea. After hearing about it, the naughty child and the little loli Niuniu cried and made a fuss and wanted to go with them. Zhu Pingan and Li Shu had no choice but to take them with them. Bring it.
Of course Liu Mu and Liu Dadao also followed.
Boating on Shichahai and wandering in the sea of lotus is a unique artistic conception.
We spent the entire afternoon fishing and admiring lotuses, and didn't return until dusk. When passing by this restaurant, the naughty kid was fuming and hungry. He smelled the fragrance coming from the restaurant and refused to leave, so Zhu Pingan Then he took them into the store to have dinner.
Li Shu is so beautiful, and Baozi's maids Hua'er and Qin'er are also quite beautiful, just like the bright moonlight in the night sky. It's hard not to be noticed. Zhu Ping'an led Li Shu and the others into the store, It aroused some eyebrows.
As soon as the people sitting in the lobby noticed Zhu Ping'an and the others entering the store, their eyes were attracted to Li Shu and the others, and they were amazed.
Is there such beauty in the world? !
Then he noticed Zhu Ping'an next to Li Shu. Looking at the way Li Shu and Zhu Ping'an were whispering, it was obvious that the famous flower had an owner, just because of the attitude of the people around him. As for Hua'er and Qin'er, who were slightly less attractive on the side. She's obviously the maid.
In this day and age, what does it mean to be a maid?
In the eyes of some people, the maids just suppressed the calls. To put it bluntly, they are not forbidden by the male master. They can enjoy it as long as they want it. These maids are guaranteed to cooperate happily and show their respects to their aunts and so on. However, most of the maids dream.
The good cabbage has been scooped up by the pigs, or three cabbages at a time. They are all juicy cabbages.
As a result, everyone sitting in the lobby began to envy and hate Zhu Pingan.
Zhu Pingan has an ordinary appearance, a simple and honest face, and is not handsome at all, which makes people even more envious and jealous.
If it weren't for Zhu Ping'an, who was obviously dressed like a wealthy family, and Liu Mu and Liu Dadao who were obviously very skilled behind him.
They don't just sit at the table and envy and hate each other.
Li Shu Hua'er and the others disliked the lobby, and Zhu Pingan didn't like the look in the lobby's eyes, so he gave the waiter a piece of silver and asked the waiter to arrange a private room on the second floor.
Liu Mu and Liu Dadao wanted to stay in the lobby. Zhu Pingan also knew that they would not be comfortable if they went to the private room. Instead, they would be more comfortable eating in the lobby, so he ordered a table of dishes for them and asked them to stay. In the lobby.
The elegant room on the second floor has a good environment and is elegantly and delicately decorated. It looks like a study or a boudoir, combining elegance, elegance and comfort.
A table of food and a pot of tea.
During the meal, the conversation downstairs could also be heard faintly.
"Master Yan is truly worthy of being a minister of the Zhu Kingdom. He was ordered to investigate the theft of the Taicang Bank and uncovered more than a hundred people who were corrupted by the country. In just two days, he generated more than 700,000 yuan of silver and more than 200 gold for our Ming Dynasty treasury. Wanliang..."
"The Minister of Guhu, the Ming Dynasty Jade..."
"Hey, have you heard? Yesterday, Jin Yiwei found more than 100,000 taels of silver and 10,000 taels of gold from the house of the former treasury minister in Taicang. When pulling the gold and silver, a horse was exhausted..."
"Haha, it's not surprising that so much money was found from his house. No one knows how greedy that person is. If you ask me, the most shocking thing is Wang Yushi. Tsk tsk. Before yesterday, anyone who mentioned Wang Yushi would have raised eyebrows. Thumbs up, this is a famous upright official in the Ming Dynasty. He has been an official in the capital for ten years, but he still rents a shabby house. His daughter is still sharing a room with them when she is ten years old... There is no way, let alone buying a house. This Wang Yushi can't even afford to rent a big house. I heard that when people from Dongchang searched his house, this Wang Yushi was still drinking porridge with his wife and children eating rotten vegetable leaves. Tsk tsk, but he never expected that Dongchang's People found 18,543 taels of silver in Wang Yushi's dilapidated house and buried them all in the yard."
"I heard that two officials in Taicang committed suicide out of fear of crime."
After listening to the people downstairs talking so loudly, Baozi's little maid Hua'er could tie a bottle of oil on her pouted mouth, and she became indignant: "Why? It's obviously a case that was discovered by my uncle. There is a deficit in the account book." , my uncle has already found out the problem, so Yan Song just reached out to pick a ripe peach, why should he take all the benefits?"
"Yes, I feel sorry for my uncle." Qin'er nodded.
"Humph, they are just bullying people. My uncle has been working hard the past few days. He got up early in the morning and stayed up late. He couldn't eat well or sleep well. He just ate bread in one day. It took a lot of effort to find out the treasury's deficit, but they got something for nothing. I just reached out and picked the peach, which makes me angry just thinking about it." Hua'er, Baozi's little maid, had a bulging face.
After Hua'er finished speaking, he heard another discussion downstairs. After hearing this sentence, his frowning eyebrows started to light up, "It turns out there are still people who understand."
"I would say that Mr. Zhu Ping'an, the inspector who discovered Taicang's deficit a few days ago, is the biggest contributor. If Mr. Zhu had not been afraid of power, took off his clothes to prove his innocence, and insisted on investigating Taicang, How could such a huge Taicang theft be exposed in broad daylight?"
The discussion downstairs spread to the private room on the second floor, making the little maid Baozi's eyebrows dance.
However, the little maid Baozi soon puffed up her face and pouted her lips again, because similar arguments were quickly drowned out by the overwhelming voices praising Yan Song.
