No matter what time of day, there is always such a bustle of traffic and guests in front of Fanlou, especially after nightfall, this place will become the focus of most of Tokyo. However, for guests who have some status and want to have fun, the first choice must be here. Although there are seventy-two main stores in Bianliang, the other seventy-one stores taken together are not as famous as this No. 1 store in the world.
This is the largest gold selling cave in the city and in the world. It is a wonderful place that every man with some desire wants to enter and have a taste of it. Youdao is full of red-sleeved moves, and the general takes off his military robe—
General Sun did not come wearing a military robe, so there was no need to take it off. He led Tang Feng and a few others to ride slowly on horseback, following the crowd as they slowly approached the colorful gate welcoming guests, but there was no trace of intoxication or yearning in his eyes. The seven or eight subordinates around him were different. Even Tang Feng, a native of Tokyo, had never dared to go near Fan Tower in the past due to his identity. Now, all of them feel that it is an eye-opener. The brilliant lights and the charming smiles of the beauties on the bridge above made them unable to control themselves.
Yes, everything here has not changed at all. It is no different from when he and Tong Mu came together many years ago. There are still a lot of distinguished guests, and everything is luxurious. Whether they are businessmen or high-ranking officials, they will all be there. This lavish spending of a lot of money attracted a lot of attention, and earned the beauties' clever smiles but not their anger.
But Sun Tu also knew that in a few years, the world of the Song Dynasty had been turned upside down. Internal troubles such as Fangla in Liangshan might have been completely suppressed, but the Jin people in the northeast had risen rapidly, and the Liao Kingdom in the north was also struggling to its death, and All this obviously cannot have even the slightest impact on everyone here. Under the glorious clothes of the prosperous age, it has actually come to an end.
It wasn't until a crisp sound of snapping sounded from the front, followed by a burst of yelling and cursing, that Sun Tu came back to his senses from his somewhat complicated emotions. At the same time, Tang Feng and others also calmed down, took two steps forward, and faintly The earth protected him in case anything happened.
Of course there are changes, but they are not aimed at Sun Tu. Not far ahead, two groups of people were facing each other in a tense confrontation. A young man on horseback had withdrawn his whip and cursed with disdain: "You, Wei Cheng, dare to fight against me." , I don’t have to blind your dog eyes. With just one word from my office, I can get you and your useless dad out of Tokyo!"
His arrogant arrogance has completely suppressed the young man named Wei Cheng in front of him. At this time, there was a deep blood mark on his cheek, and his face had already turned red. But even so, he did not dare to fall out with the other party after all, and the companions behind him all lowered their heads, not daring to say anything harsh. On the contrary, those opposite him were either laughing or provoking, as if they were waiting for a fight between the two sides.
Finally, after taking another deep look at the other party, Wei Cheng turned around and said, "Let's go!" He actually ran away, which naturally made the arrogant young man laugh wildly: "Wei Cheng, what are you doing? I remember, if you see me again in the future, please take a detour, otherwise you will have a good look."
In a place like Fanlou, it is very common for people to have disputes due to jealousy or other reasons. There are even people in the building who are often used to resolve such disputes. But today this
The fight came and went quickly, and everyone just watched the excitement. Only Sun Tu thought for a moment after saying the name Wei Cheng.
At the same time, people around him were also talking: "This Mr. Wei is quite respectable, how can he be so tolerant today?"
"Why, don't you even know who is on the other end? The one who beat him was the yamen of Wang Zhongcheng's family, the imperial censor. He still has a sixth-grade official position. How can he be compared to a small Imperial Army general like him? Moreover, I have heard that Minister Wei seems to have some leverage in Wang Zhongcheng's hands, so how dare he offend him?"
These words reached Sun Tu's ears and made him understand something better. But he just smiled and kept walking. After passing through the Huanmen, he soon entered the Fan Tower.
This Fan Tower consists of five tall buildings, and guests can enter through different doors based on their own needs and preferences. So even though there were a lot of people outside, once I got inside, after going around and around, it became much quieter. Sun Tu and his party entered the Huanyin Building located at the very back. Although this place was inferior to the Caiwu Building where he had watched Master Li's wonderful dance, it was extremely rare to be able to buy a private room. Just a table for dozens of people cost him hundreds of dollars. And this requires him to reveal his identity as a Yuehou.
However, after being led into the building, Sun Tu did not directly enter the private room where the sound of strings and clinking glasses had already been heard. Instead, he turned around and entered the smaller private room next to it. Several banquets of wine and food are also prepared here, and at the same time, all the chatter and laughter in the next room can be heard.
The people in the private room next door who were drinking, talking and laughing were naturally the young men from the Huben army who came to the banquet at the invitation of Di Yingyang. Although they had only sat down not long ago, they had already drank several glasses of good wine. At the same time, they all had beautiful beauties in their arms, holding their hands up and down, or drinking wine with their mouths. They were having a great time.
At this time, Di Yingyang could not see the serious look he had shown before in front of Sun Tu and his brother. He was still smiling and laughing, joking and chatting with his former friends and the beauty in his arms, and telling some anecdotes about romantic affairs and anecdotes inside and outside the capital. He does have a good eloquence, and he is good at mobilizing the atmosphere. He can often make everyone present burst into laughter with just a few words. The atmosphere is really harmonious and warm.
Sun Tu's lips curled up as he listened to bursts of laughter coming from next door. This Ninth Brother does have his own unique skills. If he is from later generations, he will surely become a master of public relations. He can be very successful in both companies and governments, and even become a trusted figure such as the office director who is highly valued by leaders. . It's a pity that he is in the Song Dynasty, and no one can discover this ability now.
After just chatting and clinking glasses for a while, someone asked rather strangely: "Hey, why hasn't Wei Cheng come yet? In the past, he was the most active when we talked about drinking, so why are you so late today?"
"Yes. Could it be that he has another appointment? If so, he would have to be punished with a few drinks. It's really unreasonable."
At this time, there was the sound of the door being opened, and then someone entered and seemed to whisper something. Then, the lively scene in the room paused, and then there were several low curses: "That Wang Chuanming You are so overbearing, you actually dare to be the slave of so many people
Wei Laowu was whipped in front of him. Now that he had lost all face, how could he still come to have a drink? "
"Isn't it because I defeated him once in the cockfighting ring before? This person is so narrow-minded and holds a grudge to this day."
Although many people were aggrieved by Wei Cheng's experience, they only scolded him a few times without any intention of taking revenge for his friends. Di Yingyang took the opportunity to ask a few questions. He knew that this was just a conflict between several young masters in the city due to a cockfighting quarrel and then a rift. He also understood the origin of Wang Chuanming, so he sighed: "So After all, it’s still us people who have no ability and no status.”
It seemed that the words touched the minds of these people, and many people sighed again, and then said: "Who says it's not the case? We brothers may seem to have a good life, but who in Tokyo really takes us seriously? What? Who told us that we are all just commoners, we don’t have any skills, we can’t do anything in literature and martial arts, so we can only be dandies. "
"But now I can't even be a dandy. If we really talk about the yamen, who doesn't know that Gao Duo and Liang Jing are the most romantic and luxurious people in Tokyo, and we just have some money on weekdays. Now we have Even Wang Chuanming can bully us, but we can only endure it."
"Brother Di Jiu, actually you really shouldn't have joined our Huben Army. Now when it comes to the Forbidden Army, everyone only recognizes the Fourth Army, and all other armies are like this... Not to mention our Huben Army, they are all regarded as It’s a joke.”
"Recently, he has become quite famous. That Sun Tu killed Yan Ziliang as soon as he came and caused a big fuss..."
"What kind of good reputation is that? A reckless military general who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth. I guess he will be impeached within a few days of being in this position."
Everyone was talking to each other, but Di Yingyang seemed particularly silent at this time. It wasn't until everyone had finished talking about their frustrations that he spoke: "It seems that everyone has the same idea as me. Although we were not sensible back then, and all civil and military matters were commonplace, we now regret it to some extent and want to There have been changes in career..."
There was another moment of silence, obviously everyone acquiesced. But soon, someone else smiled bitterly and said: "But even if we are careful, it is too late after all... Regarding our status, although we all have some influence in the family, our positions have long been taken away by our brothers. Anyway, It is impossible for my father to find a more respectable job for me. All I can do is hang out like this for a few years... "
"Yes, if there is a chance to get a practical assignment, even if it is to go abroad, I will go. But now, even if my father comes to ask for it, there is no way that such a good job will fall on me."
Soon, everyone spoke out about their own difficulties. Due to their status as concubines and their ridiculous behavior in the past, they now had no chance even if they wanted to do something. Sun Tu was listening in the room next to him, and the smile on his face became wider and wider. His uncle was indeed a master of conversational skills. Unknowingly, he had led everyone's thoughts in the direction he wanted. gone. Presumably soon, he will be able to get down to business and start paving the way for his appearance to convince these people.
