Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 57 Orchid Restaurant
Yang Ming first paid 100 taels of gold as a deposit, and he would pay the rest after the horses were delivered to Hedong.

Qu Lai will hand over the horses after paying the rest of the money. The process seems cumbersome, but there is no way around it.

After all, it was their first time dealing with each other, and Yang Ming didn't trust each other, and Yang Ming didn't want people in the palace to know that he bought horses.

The next day, Yang Ming wrote to Li Jing, asking him to help with the handover of the horses, and then told the other party that he could contact a person named Zhang Mu, and he could arrange some things for Zhang Mu to do.

Chongrenfang, where Prince Jin's Mansion is located, is just to the northwest of the city, with a street in the middle.

So it is very convenient for Yang Ming and the others to go shopping, but the city is really too big, and there are so many products that they can't finish shopping in a few days.

As a matter of fact, the people living in the Lifang in the east, west, north, south, and north sides of the metropolis are not ordinary, they are either kings or nobles, and the rich are not qualified to open up houses here.

This involves Yu Wenkai's geomantic layout when he built Daxing City.

The location of Jin Wangfu is called Jiusan according to the six lines of the Qian hexagram in the "Book of Changes". Loyal and diligent.

Therefore, the people living in the surrounding Lifang are either princes, princes, or dignitaries.

In this way, the products in the entire city are basically luxury goods above the middle and high end.

The people you meet here are not ordinary people.

The spring outing is over, and many famous women have their homes,

So during this period of time, Yang Ming could often see many wedding parties going in and out of the surrounding Lifang, beating gongs and drums, and blasting firecrackers.

And as the king of the county, anyone he knows or doesn't know will send him invitations. As for whether to go or not, it's up to him.

Yang Ming doesn't like this kind of occasion to show his face, especially if his butt is not hot, there will be many people coming to say hello to you, and you won't be able to eat a bite of the hot meal.

However, he still asked Xu Jing to follow him. The share money does not need to be too much, just a few tens of money for the family, and this money is also specially given by his mother Concubine Xiao for entertainment.

Yang Zhao also didn't like it, but under Xiao Concubine's compulsion, he basically went there without missing a beat. He was so busy with socializing all day long that he was listless when he came home every night.

Yang Ming likes to hang out alone, he only brings Chen Shuyi with him, Xu Jing doesn't.

There is absolutely no problem with the security here. The ones in charge of patrolling the surrounding area are the Xiong Qu Army, which belongs to the left and right military guards, and belongs to the elite of the Forbidden Army.

No one dares to make trouble here, even Xiong Qujun who dares to make trouble here can't control it.

Passing by a jewelry store with brackets protruding from the eaves, Yang Ming almost bumped into Yang Yinjiang.

The moment the latter saw him, he was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said:
"Hello, Your Highness."

Yang Ming nodded and said, "Hi, Miss Yang."

Both of them behaved very naturally.

It was just a simple greeting, and then Yang Yinjiang gave a look that only Yang Ming could see, and hurried away with the maid.

"Hmph, this woman is really fickle. When I came to look for His Highness every day, I thought she was interested in you,"

There was a sneer on Chen Shuyi's face, obviously very dissatisfied with Yang Yinjiang's indifferent attitude just now.

Yang Ming smiled and said, "You think she's just like you? You can express everything you think in your heart? After all, you were once a princess, so you can't even tell?"

Chen Shuyi tried her best to say: "Why can't I see it? Of course I can see it. Doesn't she just think that Yang Zhao is better than you? With oolong tea, she can't look down on you as tea foam."

"Is there someone like you who buried the master like this?" Yang Ming pretended to be angry and said, "Don't touch the tea leaves in my room from now on."

This sentence can be regarded as reaching Chen Shuyi's seven inches, so she quickly apologized: "You are oolong tea, Yang Zhao is tea foam, okay?"

Yang Ming smiled and changed the subject:
"Tonight or tomorrow night?"

Chen Shuyi immediately replied: "Master said, it's either tonight or tomorrow night. In short, we can find a wine shop with a hexagonal sign outside the door in West Market to meet him."

Yang Ming nodded: "Well, then let's leave now,"

West Market is about seven or eight kilometers away from King Jin's Mansion, and it happens to be symmetrical with East City on the map of Daxing City. It takes half a day to take a horse-drawn carriage.

Chen Shuyi's master is naturally Xiao Maha.

After the old Chen was destroyed, Xiao Mahe took refuge in the Sui Dynasty, was conferred the honorary title of Kaifu Yitong Sansi, and stayed at home without real power.

There are eleven grades of honor in the Sui Dynasty, and Xiao Mahe belongs to the sixth grade.

According to Chen Shuyi, Xiao Mahe's will is depressed now, he only drinks and sleeps every day, and his salary of this honor is not much, so he can hardly afford to drink.

So when he went out this time, Yang Ming specially asked Xu Jing to bring 20 taels of gold.

West Market is a place where Hu and Han people live together. Many of the buildings here are full of exotic styles, and there are merchants from Persia, Dashi, Korea, and Japan.

Moreover, the city will be closed every evening at Youshi, and people from Waifang are not allowed to enter, but the city is as lively as before, and there will be a curfew until midnight.

Yang Ming felt that the person who came up with the way to get out of the customs city was definitely a talent.

Because the real attraction of West Market is at night. If you are locked up in West Market at night and cannot get out, you must spend money to find a place to live, right?
Doesn't this promote consumption?
As for why it is at night, those who should understand know it, and those who don't understand it is best not to understand it.

Far away.

After entering the West Market, there was a lot of traffic and pedestrians like crucian carp. The level of excitement was much stronger than that of the East Market.

Moreover, there are many places here that ordinary people can afford, so there is a mixed bag of teachings and teachings.

After wandering around for a long time, Yang Ming and the others finally found the orchid restaurant with the hexagonal signboard.

The facade is not big, and the entrance is a single door under the steps, which is very narrow, and you can only enter sideways if you are a little fatter.

The restaurant is full of small square tables, and there are quite a few guests, many of whom are from the barbarians.

Of course, the most attractive thing is the orchid who shuttles through the aisle like butterfly spots, that is, the barbarian girl.

The service on them has distinct ethnic characteristics and is very close-fitting. Luolu's small waist and big white tui exposed intentionally or unintentionally under the skirt are particularly eye-catching, and you can see them for free.

These Huren girls are very open, and even take the initiative to tease diners.

Chen Shuyi's figure is already extremely rare among Han people, but compared with these orchids, it is still a little worse.

Xiao Mohe actually likes this kind of place?
As soon as he entered the restaurant, a young man walked towards Yang Ming and the others. When he got close, he lowered his voice and said to Chen Shuyi:
"The general is inside, Your Highness will follow me."

Chen Shuyi nodded, it seemed that tonight was not in vain.

Then the three of them, led by each other, walked around the spacious front hall and came to a single room with curtains in the corner.

There is only one person inside.

An old man with grey-haired and unshaven beard, he was also very poorly dressed, with gum still hanging from the corners of his eyes.

Xiao Mohe is 69 years old this year.

After the young people left, Chen Shuyi signaled Yang Ming and the others to sit down.

When she saw the empty pots on the table, Chen Shuyi immediately lowered her face and said directly:

"You drink to death!"
