The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 324 Re-entering Tokyo
Sending Yang Zhi and his party away, Mu Xu brought Ruan Xiaoqi and Zhang San into Tokyo City again. Compared to Mu Xu and the two, Ruan Xiaoqi had never seen such a bustling city before. He couldn't help looking left and right, looking like a country bumpkin entering the city, which made passers-by laugh.

Mu Xu didn't take it seriously, but Zhang San couldn't take it any longer, he pulled Ruan Xiaoqi's sleeves, and reminded, "Brother Qi, you should pay more attention, isn't this a joke!"

Ruan Xiaoqi glared at Zhang San, and said plausibly, "What's so funny, I'm not as well-informed as my brother, and I'm not like your kid who grew up in Tokyo, and finally came to the emperor's feet, and I'm not allowed to be four Check it out!"

Having said that, Ruan Xiaoqi restrained himself a little, followed Mu Xu a few steps, and asked, "Brother, what's so interesting about this Tokyo city?"

When Mu Xu came to Tokyo this time, in order to avoid attracting attention, he deliberately discarded the golden crown he used to wear, and replaced it with a big Fanyang felt hat, and changed his brocade robe into a plain long robe. man.

Hearing Ruan Xiaoqi's question at this time, he looked at the scenery on the street and replied casually, "Ask me what I do. Although I have been to Tokyo City, I am not as good as Zhang San, a local snake. Just ask him."

When Zhang San heard this, he immediately said triumphantly, "Brother, what you said is reasonable! Let me tell you, Brother Seven, if you want to talk about this Tokyo city, which boundary is the best to play with, it must be Ji'er Lane!" ( Note, it’s really called this name, but everything else is a coincidence, and the courtesan women in Song Dynasty didn’t call it chicken.)
"Ji'er Lane, what is this place? Could it be a place for cockfights?" Ruan Xiaoqi asked with a puzzled face.

Zhang San first secretly despised Ruan Xiaoqi in his heart, and then showed a look that any man could understand, and said with a wretched smile, "My good brother Qi, why are you so ignorant! Let me tell you this, That place, whether it is a literati, a peddler or a pawn, or even Zhao Guan's family, they all love to go there."

Seeing Zhang San winking, Ruan Xiaoqi became more and more puzzled, but still insisted, "Why don't I get the hang of it? Since you say that, the land is nothing more than casinos and restaurants!"

Seeing that Ruan Xiaoqi was trapped by Zhang San, Mu Xu shook his head and smiled, "Okay, Zhang San don't play tricks on Qilang, you just tell him that it's the place where brothels and Chu houses are concentrated."

Only then did Ruan Xiaoqi realize that he was being tricked by Zhang San. He strangled Zhang San's neck and threatened, "Well, you street rat, you dare to play tricks on me. Tell me, how many times have you been there?" ?”

Zhang San begged for mercy, and replied, "The villain wants to go, but how can he have that spare money? There are no thousand or eight hundred silver in those places, and you can't even enter the door."

Ruan Xiaoqi said disdainfully, "Hmph, it's just hooks. In the past, my fifth brother used to go there often, and it only cost a few pennies. How could it cost so much money?"

Seeing that Ruan Xiaoqi didn't believe it, Zhang San became anxious, and quickly retorted, "How can those rural brothels compare with the fireworks in Tokyo? The girls here are all talented. Some courtesans, if you Without literary talents, no matter how rich you are, you won’t be able to see him! If you don’t believe me, you can ask brother.”

Seeing this, Mu Xu had no choice but to explain to Ruan Xiaoqi, "This is indeed the case, and Zhang San is not talking nonsense. The brothel in Tokyo City is the most famous gold selling cave in the world, and Song Dynasty attaches great importance to literati, so Those famous sisters love well-known literati the most. For example, Liu Yongliu Sanbian in the Renzong Dynasty, not only did he go to the brothel for free, but those sisters rushed to give him money first, just to beg him for a poem. "

Ruan Xiaoqi was fascinated when he heard it, and he unconsciously envied, "It's worth it for a man to live like this, I really don't know what it's like!"

Zhang San laughed and said, "Seventh brother, you should stop daydreaming, those girls who look like the two of us won't look at each other at all, it's almost the same as my brother, after all, my brother is a rare handsome man."

Ruan Xiaoqi laughed and scolded, "Bastard, don't allow me to think about it!" He said, he squeezed to Mu Xu's side, and begged, "Brother, being told by that bastard makes people's hearts itch, why don't you take us to see it?"

Mu Xu saw that both of them were looking at him expectantly, and thought, "Speaking of which, I was in the World of Red Mansions before, and because of my inconvenient status, I didn't have the opportunity to see the ancient brothels. Isn't it a pity? Leaving aside other things for the time being, if you don't know Mr. Li, what's the difference from coming here for nothing?"

At that moment, Mu Xu pretended to hesitate for a while, and then reluctantly said, "Come on, after finishing the business, I will take you to Zhang Changyan."

When the two of them heard this, they immediately beamed with joy, wishing they could go now.Mu Xu ignored them, found a passer-by, asked where Xiao Tianshui Lane was, and searched all the way there, and finally found Chai Huangcheng's mansion before dark.

Notified the guard at the gate, not long after, a gray-haired little old man in his fifties, wearing a khaki official uniform, walked out of the gate.

After the old man came out, he scanned the faces of the three of them with his eyes. When he saw Ruan Xiaoqi and Zhang San, he couldn't help frowning. It wasn't until he saw the majestic Mu Xu that he smiled and asked He said, "I wonder who brought the letter from my nephew?"

Seeing that the Chaihuang City was so big, Mu Xu didn't even say how many people were invited in, and was immediately displeased.But after all, he was concerned about Chai Jin's face and the important event at hand, so he forced a smile, took out the letter from his arms, and offered it with both hands, "Please read it, old man!"

Chai Huangcheng took the letter, and after roughly browsing through it, he changed his expression as if changing his face, and said enthusiastically, "Oh, it turns out to be Nephew Mu Xian, please come in quickly!"

Mu Xu declined, "It's better not to bother the old man, I'll go to the inn first, and then visit after two days."

Chai Huangcheng came to Mu Xu's side in twos and threes with a vigor that didn't match his age, grabbed his sleeve, pulled him in and walked in, explaining in his mouth,

"Nephew, don't blame the little old man for being rude. It's really my nephew who frightens the old man. He has met all these robbers in the past few years. The year before last, he recommended a so-called good man to look after my home. That guy took advantage of me to go out to visit friends, and took away several valuable treasures, and even kidnapped my new concubine."

Mu Xu suppressed his smile and replied, "I see, I thought Uncle Shi didn't welcome me."

"Where is it, this is the first time that this old man has met Jin'er so solemnly. Since my nephew is his best friend, he is also my family. How can I let you live outside when I get here? That's not a slap in the face of the old man. ?"

While talking, Chai Huangcheng brought a few people to the hall, first invited the three to sit down, then ordered the housekeeper to prepare three guest rooms, and ordered the maid to serve tea. After asking a few words about Chai Jin's recent situation, he talked about what he said in the letter. Entrusted matter.

"I don't ask my nephew why I bought those things, but since Jin'er has asked me, I will invite that boy to my house for a banquet in two days, and then my nephew will talk to him." Speaking of this , he reminded,
"This Tong Jian is extremely greedy. If my nephew wants to do business with him, he must be prepared to be slaughtered by him."

When Mu Xu heard this, he said indifferently, "I am not afraid that he will ask for money, but I am afraid that he is not brave enough to satisfy my appetite."

Chai Huangcheng smiled and waved his hands and said, "Nephew, you can rest assured, this Tongbao has Tongguan as his backer, and he is very courageous. The number of weapons and armor sold by him over the years is probably no less than three to five thousand. number."

Hearing this number, Mu Xu couldn't help being speechless, and said in surprise, "Isn't he afraid of being checked?"

Chai Huangcheng shook his head and smiled and said, "How to check? There are hundreds of thousands of forbidden soldiers in Kaifeng Mansion alone. In addition, the Song Dynasty has been at peace for a long time. Those soldiers are now either repairing gardens for Zhao Guan's family, or doing business by themselves. So that In the ordnance prison, there are probably piles of rusted ordnance, and there are countless reports of damage every year, who will care about this?"

Mu Xu didn't know what to say, so he could only say that if you don't fight, you won't die. No wonder, during the Jingkang Incident, hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops collapsed at the sight of the Jin people, and threw the land north of the Huaihe River clean. This Zhao Ji is really harmful. .
