Chapter 147 Mingyu Tower, Lu Family Spear

The colorful lanterns contain the setting sun again, and the mist is even more accompanied by cooking smoke.

There is only a little afterglow left in the setting sun, and the lights are already on.

People are walking on the street, surrounded by noise and hawking into their ears, the aroma of food lingers in their noses, but mist and cooking smoke cover the bustling scene in front of them with a layer of dreamlike tulle, adding a bit of hazy and alienation, as if walking in a picture scroll.

It's not real, but it's more beautiful.

Walking along the way, everyone once again sighed with emotion at the prosperity of the capital, and this emotion reached its peak when they arrived at Mingyu Tower.

An elegant, exquisite but still majestic two-story building stands on the side of the road, with carved beams and painted buildings, high eaves and teeth, showing a sense of grace.

The breeze blew by, and under the eaves of the house, there were bursts of crisp wind chimes, like the soft voice of a gentle shopkeeper.

Bai Yun shook his folding fan, looked at the small building in front of him, and slowly chanted: "The tall building suddenly rises a hundred feet high, Mingyu attracts guests from all directions. This Mingyu Tower is really extraordinary!"

Gongsun Jing's complexion suddenly became strange, Wang Ruoshui said with a smile: "Ahem, Mr. Bai is a great talent! It's really good! Let's go to the building to talk."

With that said, Wang Ruoshui led the crowd through the small two-story building, and came to a more magnificent and luxurious four-story building.

Bai Yunbian's face turned red instantly, he turned his head to look at the two-story building, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Xia Jingyun also felt a little wronged for him for pretending to fail. Who the hell would have thought that the two-story building that can be regarded as the top restaurant style in other cities is actually just the gatehouse of Mingyu Tower, which was built for fun!

Mr. Bai, this can be regarded as Qinglong Yanyue Dao pulling his ass - he opened his eyes wide.

After all, Wang Ruoshui is considered a veteran in the officialdom, and he just pretended that the incident just now had never happened before, so he stepped aside, "Master, Mr. Bai, Mr. Gongsun, everyone, please!"

As he spoke, he accompanied the crowd towards the third floor, Su Yuanshang followed behind, secretly giving Wang Ruoshui a high look.

He also stayed in Zhongjing for a few years and knew the situation of Mingyu Tower.

Generally speaking, Mingyu Tower is a four-story building, the first floor is for ordinary wealthy businessmen, the second floor is used by officials below the third rank, such as Wang Ruoshui, and the third floor is where the real important officials of the court can climb the tower and watch.

Of course, this all refers to the grades that can be reserved when they are hosts and entertain others. If someone else entertains them, no screening will be performed on the identity of the participants.

There are different stairs on different floors, which are independent and will not meet each other, which fully guarantees the privacy of guests.

As for the top floor, the owner kept it for his own use, and occasionally entertained some extremely important guests. As Su Yuanshang, he was only a frequent visitor to the second floor, and only went up to the third floor a few times. As for the fourth floor, he never set foot there.

This Wang Ruoshui was able to temporarily book a room on the third floor, and he did have some skills.

But he didn't know that Wang Ruoshui was also feeling emotional at this moment. With his status, he could have sat on the second floor, but after the shopkeeper of Mingyulou learned that he was hosting a banquet for Gongsun Jing and Concubine De's younger brother, he was upgraded to the third floor for free for the sake of Concubine De.

Naturally, Wang Ruoshui was extremely grateful, and he had a certain understanding in his heart that Mingyulou could do so much business.

Walking into the elegant room, a crisp sound that is pleasant but not noisy comes to the ears.

I saw a string of wind chimes in the middle of the private room. When I looked closely, I realized that they were actually made of the above-mentioned high-quality warm jade. They danced lightly in the wind, and the sound was refreshing.

Standing by the window, the scenery of the capital came into view, Xia Jingyun couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The prosperity and prosperity of the capital city in China is indeed the best in the world."

Wang Ruoshui echoed with a smile, "It's a pity that the weather is not good these days, and the bare ones are nothing to see. If there is a heavy snowfall, the capital will be covered in silver, and the white scene will be very spectacular. Or it will be spring, and everything will recover, and the willows will be green and pink, which is also gratifying."

"It's okay." Xia Jingyun smiled, "There are flowers in spring, moon in autumn, cool wind in summer and snow in winter. If you have nothing to worry about, it's a good time in the world! It's enough for us to gather here and have a drink."

Everyone was stunned when they heard the words, and Wang Ruoshui sighed in shock, "It is said that the son's poetry is the best in the world, and this casually recited poem is enough to be recited for a while! It's just this poem, it's easy to understand!"

Gongsun Jing was also a little surprised. He didn't expect Xia Jingyun to have such talent. Although this poem is simple and plain, it has a profound artistic conception, is open-minded and calm, and is absolutely a good poem!

Su Yuanshang, Bai Yunbian, and even Chen Fugui and Baiyunbian's guards who followed behind everyone were no strangers to it.

But the most surprising thing was the man who led them all the way here.

He hurriedly cupped his hands, "Young master, would you allow me, Mingyulou, to transcribe this poem?"

Xia Jingyun was a little surprised, and Wang Ruoshui took the initiative to explain: "Young master, that's the case. Mingyulou has collected famous poems and paintings that were born in Mingyulou, and they are displayed in the two-story building in front. If they are selected by him, they will have a lot of money and they will also sign their names. It is beneficial to both the author and Mingyulou."

Xia Jingyun understood as soon as he heard it, and said with a smile: "Your boss is really good at doing business!"

The man smiled, "It's all thanks to the talents in Jingzhong."

Xia Jingyun nodded, "That's fine, you can just copy it."

"May I ask you what the name of this poem is?"

Xia Jingyun thought for a while, and said in Wang Ruoshui's gaze piercing Qiushui, "Let's call Mingyulou Xie Wang Langzhong."

Wang Ruoshui was overjoyed, and since then he has become Xia Jingyun's brainless fan, shouting: "Young master, please take a seat!"

"If you want me to say, we two are drinking, what are we doing here, why not just go to Liuyun Tianxiang Pavilion?"

In another box on the third floor, Lu Fengze, the third son of the Lu family, leaned lazily on a table and put down his chopsticks wearily. His expression seemed to say that he had to hold the chopsticks and serve the wine glass by himself when eating here, how fucking tiring it was!
Shi Zijun was a little speechless, but he just smiled, "That place is too expensive, and you can't go there every day, just change your life once in a while!"

"That's true." Lu Fengze nodded, raised his wine glass and clinked a glass with Shi Zijun, "You can't just come to drink with me today, can you?"

Although his father explained it, he has always been fearless, lazy and impatient, so he asked directly.

Shi Zijun was silent for a moment, put down his wine glass, and looked at Lu Fengze sincerely, "To be honest, I really came to drink a glass of wine with you to settle the suspicion."

Lu Fengze laughed, although he didn't sneer directly, but there was a bit of obvious disbelief.

Shi Zijun sighed, "Do you know what happened to me at the Spring Breeze Station outside the city two days ago?"

Lu Fengze raised his eyebrows.

"I went to Chunfengyi to pick up my cousin, and at the same time, I wanted to make him famous in the same year. As a son of the Minister of Rites, I should be able to do such a trivial matter, right? But guess what, there was a person who humiliated me face to face. For the sake of my father's official reputation, and at the same time because of the identity of the other party, I had no choice but to swallow my breath and accept this great humiliation."

Lu Fengze only thought that the other party was telling a good joke, "You are a dignified son of the Minister of Rites, and the other party is a person who can live in an inn, so why can you use your status to suppress you?"

Shi Zijun shook his head, "You know this person."

Lu Fengze asked with a face.

Shi Zijun opened his mouth and said: "He is Defei's righteous brother, Xieyuan Xia Jingyun from Sishui Prefecture."

Lu Fengze frowned immediately, and an uncontrollable hostility emerged from his heart and overflowed his face.

His second brother died tragically on the streets of Sishui Prefecture.

The instigator was Concubine De, and the culprit was Jiang Yuhu, but he couldn't afford to mess with these two.

But he couldn't afford to offend Concubine De, Jiang Yuhu, and Xia Jingyun?
Hate the house and Wu, their Lu family has long regarded Xia Jingyun as someone who must be dealt with, blood for blood!

Shi Zijun struck while the iron was hot, "The so-called enemy's enemy is a friend. Thinking of this, I thought, is our matter still a matter? It's just a matter of fighting for a woman. If you sleep today and I sleep tomorrow, can she lose a piece of meat?"

Lu Fengze also agreed with Shi Zijun's words now, "You are right, compared to that Xia Jingyun, the little things between you and me are nothing!"

Shi Zijun raised his glass, "Drink for our common enemy!"

"drink!"

With their knots resolved, they drank one cup after another until the guard who had been waiting at the door pushed open the door and gave Shi Zijun a wink.

Shi Zijun stood up, "Let's go! Let's go pee first, and then drink when we come back!"

Lu Fengze was also poured a lot, nodded and got up, and walked out together.

In the private room on the other side, Xia Jingyun, who had a great meal and drank a lot of wine, stood up, "I'm going to the latrine."

Chen Fugui quickly put down his chopsticks and followed, and the two walked out of the room.

He ran into two young people walking out of another box.

Xia Jingyun narrowed his eyes slightly, and walked forward as if nothing had happened.

Shi Zijun suddenly stopped in his tracks, Lu Fengze turned his head and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Shi Zijun looked at the figure from behind, and said slowly, "That's Xia Jingyun."

Lu Fengze's complexion changed, his eyes showed a fierce look, and he stared at Xia Jingyun's figure.
