"Where have you been?" Seeing Yan Shu coming back from the outside, Li Changtian asked.
Yan Shu didn't say anything, and handed something to Li Changtian.
Li Changtian took a closer look.
A bunch of candied haws.
"Ah..." Li Changtian was a little surprised, and reached out to take it, "Thank you."
The two of them were standing outside the door, it was a bit weird after all, Yan Shu pushed open the door of the room and let Li Changtian in: "Can you find me for anything?"
"Well, I'm bored, and I wanted to ask you to go shopping in the street, but you're not here." Li Changtian bit off a candied haws and muttered, "Where did you go?"
"I'm going to investigate the case." Yan Shu said, "I have a clue."
"Huh? What clue?"
"Jinsefang."
"What is that place?"
Yan Shu shook his head: "I don't know, I'm going to find out."
"That's it." Li Changtian bit off another hawthorn, and handed the remaining two sugar-coated hawthorns on the wooden skewer to Yan Shu.
Yan Shu was taken aback, and looked up at Li Changtian.
Li Changtian puffed up one cheek and said, "Huh? Don't you want it? Don't you like sweets?"
"I've eaten it, you can eat it." Yan Shu said softly.
"Oh yes." Li Changtian withdrew his hand.
Yan Shu closed his eyes, and suddenly felt happy for some reason.
-
After Li Changtian finished eating the candied haws, the two went to the shopkeeper and asked where Jinsefang was.
The shopkeeper looked at the two of them, and suddenly showed a strange smile of "I understand".
Li Changtian and Yan Shu: "..."
"Oh, as expected of Jinsefang, it is famous all over the world and can attract literati and warriors from all over the world to gather here." The shopkeeper said with a smile, drawing a map for the two of them with pen and ink.
The two took the map, thanked them, and walked out of the inn to search for it.
"Ah..." Yan Shu suddenly remembered something.
"Huh?" Li Changtian looked at him.
"I seem to have heard of 'Jinsefang'." Yan Shu said.
"Is it... that kind of place? Cough cough..." After Li Changtian asked, he touched his face in embarrassment.
Yan Shu took a look at Li Changtian and said, "If I remember correctly, Jinsefang is the largest song and dance hall in Baidi City. It has all kinds of performances, such as singing and dancing, acrobatics, and folk art. Chess calligraphy and painting are proficient in everything, there are dignified and elegant ones, but also lively and clever ones, and those who can play in the workshop are either rich or noble."
"Hiss..." Li Changtian took a deep breath, "Master Xu, who transported the relief money, wouldn't he really be greedy for all the money? Otherwise, after half a year of silence, when he reappeared, he was in the song and dance hall?"
Yan Shu's eyes were deep, and he didn't answer. He just said, "Let's go and find out."
-
Baidi City is really too big, when the two found Jinsefang, it was already night.
But as soon as I got there, I knew I had found the right place.
Li Changtian originally thought that Jinsefang was just a big house, but he didn't know it was not at all.
Jinsefang is a brightly lit street covered with red silk and hung with red lanterns. There are several high and low attics on the left and right sides of the street, with high eaves and green paint.
Li Changtian looked up and counted. The lowest attic has three floors, and the highest has eight floors.
Every floor is brightly lit, and people can be seen leaning on the railing to drink and have fun.
The sound of laughter, music, singing and dancing can be heard endlessly, spreading from the end of the street to the street.
What a scene of prosperity and prosperity.
In front of the memorial archway on the street, there are dozens of menacing men blocking people.
Yan Shu walked up to one of the big men, and said calmly, "Excuse me, how can I get in?"
The big man looked at Yan Shu and Li Changtian, and saw that the two young masters were both handsome, especially the white-clothed young man who was asking the question. Is this the next time you come to Jinsefang?"
Yan Shu nodded.
The big man said: "People who live in this mundane world look at nothing more than two words, fame and fortune. If the two young masters can come up with one of them, they can enter the workshop."
Yan Shu understood, and reached out his hand to get the plaque engraved with the word 'Inspector'. He stretched his hand halfway, then suddenly stopped, hesitated for a moment, and took out a piece of silver.
Although it wasn't much, the big man didn't make things difficult for Yan Shu. After all, this was just entering the workshop, and the inside of the workshop was the place where the real wealth of the family was emptied.
The big man accepted the money and said, "Since the two young masters are here for the first time, do you need me to call a guide for the two young masters? After all, this Jinsefang is not only big, but also has many rules. There is a guide who can If you find something interesting earlier, you will have to spend some more money."
Yan Shu nodded.
The big man then shouted to Jinsefang, "Brother Lu, welcome the distinguished guest."
"Here we come, we come~" came a laughing voice, and a young man in Tsing Yi walked over leisurely, shaking an ink painting fan.
Young Master Lu suddenly put away the painting fan in his hand, and bowed to Yan Shu and Li Changtian with a smile: "The distinguished guests must be these two gentlemen from Yushu Linfeng, please follow me."
Yan Shu and Li Changtian looked at each other, followed Mr. Lu, and entered Jinsefang.
The three of them were walking on the street, before they entered the attic, they saw many flower drum stands on the street, on which beauties were playing the piano and dancing, the sound of the piano was melodious and moving, and the dancing posture was astonishing.
Pedestrians in twos and threes, laughing and playing with jugs, or watching beauties playing and singing and dancing, are very lively.
"As for me, let me introduce to the two young masters first." The little brother Lu smiled very kindly, and talked eloquently, "There are six attics in this Jinsefang, four on the left and two on the right, and the first one on the right is called Yunyin Pavilion. It is the place where the girls live, and outsiders cannot enter. The second building is called Qinglu Pavilion. No alcohol is drunk in the pavilion, it is elegant and quiet. It is a place to sing drama and talk about rhythm. Pavilion, Moon Pavilion."
"What's the difference between these four attics?" Li Changtian asked.
"This young master's question is really good!" Brother Lu clapped the ink fan in the palm of his hand, and smiled at Li Changtian.
Yan Shu: "..."
"The four pavilions are both the same and different." Brother Lu smiled, "The same, the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and singing, drinking and having fun are the same. The difference is that the girls from the Feng Pavilion can be brought out of the workshop, and the girls from the Hua Pavilion can be taken out of the workshop. The girl has a fierce personality and knows martial arts, the girl in Xuege has a calm and well-behaved personality, as for Yuege... "
Brother Lu suddenly opened his fan and smiled strangely: "They're all ladies."
"What is a waiter?" Li Changtian asked.
Yan Shu: "..."
Little brother Lu didn't expect Li Changtian to ask such a question. He was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed out loud. After he finished laughing, he wiped the tears from his eyes, and suddenly approached Li Changtian one step at a time. laughed.
"My lord, have you ever heard of the beauty of Longyang, the habit of breaking sleeves, and the joy of sharing peaches?"
