Moon Emperor

Chapter 171

"Okay." The Taoist mirror grinder stood up, and returned the thoroughly polished bronze mirror to the young lady in the door.

The young lady took it over and took a picture of her own face. Fortunately, she tidied it up when she came out just now. Although it is not considered beautiful, it can be regarded as clean and fair.

She smiled happily, took out the money bag from her bosom, and carefully counted six copper coins to the Taoist priest.

The Taoist reached out to take it, and began to pack his things, preparing to leave.

As soon as the Taoist priest left, Su Yan followed suit.

This made the young lady sigh regretfully, she stopped thinking about it, closed the door, took the mirror and went back to the boudoir to fiddle with, feeling better all of a sudden.

Following along, Su Yan felt that he was too perverted to follow, so he took the initiative to step forward and ask, "Sir, do you teach people this skill?"

Taoist Priest Mojing turned around, looked Su Yan up and down, shook his head and said, "I don't think you come from a poor background, why do you want to imitate me, a low-class person who walks around the streets?"

Su Yan's attitude is sincere, "I don't think there is a distinction between superior and inferior craftsmanship, it just depends on how to use it."

The Taoist looked into Su Yan's eyes seriously, but still refused, "You and I are not fellow travelers."

Su Yan felt a little regretful, but he didn't force it. It was originally a whim. He still has a lot of unfinished things to do. It's not bad to study these when he is free in the future.

So he bowed seriously to Taoist Priest Mojing, "Then don't bother sir."

The Taoist priest nodded and turned to leave. He was still knocking on the "shock boudoir" in his hand, and shouted: "Grind the mirror, grind the mirror!"

Fengle Restaurant is located outside Yongjin Gate. It is not only one of the thirteen famous restaurants in Hangzhou, but also the property of the Yuhang Wang family.

Most of the customers who dine in this restaurant are the children of officials and eunuchs, bachelors and celebrities, and it is difficult for ordinary people to enter.

When Su Yan came to this high-end restaurant with the sword box on his back, he was stopped at the door.

The guy at the door didn't have a bad attitude either. After all, Su Yan wasn't a beggar who came to the door, and he was well-dressed and well-presented. This kind of guest should not be easily offended.

"Young Master, do you dare to ask if there is a famous post, or who invited you?"

"Not at all, I just want to eat something good." When Su Yan answered, she suddenly raised her head slightly.

Because of the elegantly decorated three-story restaurant in front of me, there was a sound of silk, bamboo and pipa from the top floor, as well as the delicate singing of a woman in Wu Nong's soft language.

"Jingjun Jinpoluo, listen to my Qinhuai song."

"The water of the Qinhuai River can hold a boat, and the Qinhuai River is full of flowers."

"The beauty rolls the curtain and hangs the jade hook, and the fairy in the wine swims in the clear night."

"."

Su Yan nodded slightly, "A singer from Jinling? She sings well."

Just when the boy didn't know how to persuade the young master, someone on the top floor suddenly spoke in a thread, and a clear greeting came, "This young master must be an elegant person. If you are interested, please come up and have a drink together."

The little servant immediately regained his energy when he heard the voice, it was the voice of the young master.

He hastily straightened the square scarf on his head, with a flattering smile on his face, "The villain has no eyes, so why don't you invite your son to go up and have a drink and chat with my young master?"

Naturally, Su Yan would not refuse, and immediately went to the top floor under the leadership of the servant.

There are also a few tables of guests in the lobby on the first floor, most of them are dressed up as scholars or talented people, or wealthy businessmen and officials. They are a little surprised to see a person who was originally blocked at the door and taken to a small hall.

In the halls and boxes of Fengle Building, the wine vessels used are all made of gold and silver, which are extremely extravagant; not to mention all kinds of popular delicacies and top-notch wines.

Yangzhou's "Qionghualu", Yuezhou's "Penglaichun" and Xiuzhou's "Qingruoxu" are all here, and even the owner of the restaurant entertains guests in private, and even offers some royal wine that is not available to the outside world.

Finally, there are more than a dozen singing girls in the hall. They sit on the flower racks with famous cards and order you Zun (accompanying waiters and persuading them to drink) according to their customers, which is also called "ordering flower cards".

It can be said that the upper-class people in Hangzhou are proud of being able to come to Fengle Building to drink, write poems, and talk about Fengyue.

Yingchun Pavilion, when Su Yan walked into the open hall, what he saw was this:

Beside the wine table with a variety of dishes, four men were toasting and laughing, and each of them was accompanied by a beautiful singer dressed in fancy dress.

On the other side of the hall, a slender woman in a pink gauze dress is playing and singing a pipa with her face half covered.

Her appearance and temperament are even better than those four singers who are accompanying the wine, especially those eyes, which seem to be able to seduce people's souls.

A young man in a brocade robe sitting in the main seat, seeing Su Yan walk in, immediately stood up and said politely: "Brother, please sit down. Next up, Wang Shaoyuan, is the young owner of this restaurant. He is hosting a banquet for a few friends today. Yaren, I abruptly invite you to come up and talk."

At this time, the woman in pink also temporarily stopped playing and singing, so as not to disturb the conversation between the host and the guest.

Su Yan smiled and responded politely, "Su Yan, a native of Linjiang, passed by this city."

After speaking, he sat down on the empty seat without hesitation.

But as soon as Su Yan's words fell, except for Wang Shaoyuan, the rest of the people showed a slightly surprised look; this name, this origin, could it be that he is the person who has recently attracted rumors among the various families?
As the landlord of the one-third-acre land in Hangzhou, the Wang family of Yuhang actually knew the news of Su Yan's entry into the city long ago, but the above had already explained that no one could take the initiative to find him, let alone cause trouble.

But Wang Shaoyuan didn't expect that Su Yan would come to the door on his own initiative today when he was looking for a few friends to have a drink here, so he still invited the other party up because of his itching.

It's not that he took the initiative to find Su Yan, but Su Yan came here by himself.

As soon as the guest was seated, Wang Shaoyuan enthusiastically introduced him, "This is [Gentleman Sword], who is both poetic and swordsman, Xiao Tong Chu Shaoxia, ranked No.80 on the list."

A young knight with the appearance of a scholar nodded to Su Yan reservedly.

"This is [Powang Dao], young hero Liu Changfeng, who has recently entered the list. Although he is currently only ranked 92, even Brother Xiao said that his strength is more than that."

A man in black with a gloomy expression also nodded to Su Yan.

The last young man in a green silk shirt took the initiative to smile and said: "I don't need to introduce, the son of a mere merchant, who specializes in eating, drinking, and having fun; the cultivation of this innate realm is mostly obtained by taking medicine. It's really not worth mentioning."

"Hey, brother Shen, don't underestimate yourself. Your Shen family's business can be said to spread all over the country. Even our Wang family has a lot of places that need to rely on you."

The polite words of these people to each other sounded really boring to Su Yan, he didn't talk to him, just started to eat with his chopsticks, which made this group of people a little unaccustomed to it.

Seeing this, Wang Shaoyuan hurriedly said: "Xiao He, come quickly and help young master pour wine."

The woman in pink should be obedient, she put down her pipa, and approached gracefully.

But the young hero Liu Changfeng frowned dissatisfiedly when he saw this scene.
