At dusk in Kyoto, with the remaining sun and wind, the evening sunlight burns half the sky red, burying the capital in boundless red, adding a lot of haziness and poetry to the bustling imperial capital.
In the height of summer, early morning and dusk are the most popular. Early morning is cool, but there are many people can’t enjoy it because of sleepy and other reasons; dusk is different, the summer heat of a dull day dissipates most of it, and people who have been busy all day or have a day of recreation can enjoy a so a comfortable dusk.
The originally prosperous imperial capital became more lively, with traffic and pedestrians like weaving.
Located in the western district of the Drunken Immortal Building, is one of the capital’s most prestigious restaurants, jade carving, flying eaves and painted corners, as if flying into the clouds. There is a couplet posted at the entrance of the Drunken Immortal House, the first line of which reads, “King Wen of Zhou visited Taigong to know the flavour of the car”; the second line reads, “Han Xiaoho chased after Han Xin to smell the aroma of the horse”.
Drunken Immortal House has always been a place for the literati and martial artists in the capital to drink and chat.
Today is still the same.
Inside the restaurant, there were noisy people and no empty seats, the literati and martial artists were sitting at tables of three to five, drinking and chatting.
If one wanted to be quieter, one could go up to the elegant rooms on the second and third floors, which were exquisitely and elegantly decorated and comfortable.
At this moment, Zhu Pingan, Li Shu, Painter, Bear Child and Little Laurie were having their meal in the first floor elegant room.
Marquis Linhuai went out to visit his friends in the afternoon, so Zhu Pingan took Li Shu, Painter and the girls to go canoeing in Shichahai, the bear child and the little loli Niu Niu heard about it and cried and wanted to follow them, so Zhu Pingan and Li Shu had to bring them along.
Of course, Liu Mu and Liu Dazhu naturally followed.
Boat Shichahai, wandering in the lotus sea, a different mood.
Fishing, enjoying the lotus, playing the whole afternoon, until dusk time to return, passing by the shop, the bear children making noise hungry, smelling the aroma wafting from the restaurant, said what not to go, so Zhu Pingan took them into the shop to have dinner.
Li Shu was too pretty, the buns little maids Painting and Qin’er were also quite pretty, just like the bright er moonlight in the night sky, it was impossible not to be noticed, as soon as Zhu Pingan led Li Shu and the girls into the shop, they caused a burst of sidelong glances.
As soon as the people sitting in the lobby noticed Zhu Ping An and their entry into the shop, their eyes were attracted by Li Shu and the girls, and they were stunned.
How could there be such stunning colours in the world?
Then they noticed Zhu Pingan by Li Shu’s side, looking at the way Li Shu and Zhu Pingan were whispering, it was obvious that the famous flower already had a master, that is, the posture of the people around her, as for the slightly inferior painting and qin’er on the side, they were obviously maids.
In this era, what is the meaning of a maid?
In the view of some people, a maid is to press and call ……To put it bluntly, is not the male master of the forbidden domain, said enjoyment on enjoyment, these maids ensure also happy to cooperate, open a face to lift an aunt or something, but the vast majority of the maids dream.
The good cabbage are being pig to arch ……Or one arch three, are all watery little cabbage …..
Thus, the people sitting in the lobby were envious and jealous of Zhu Pingan.
Zhu Pingan was ordinary looking, with a simple face, not handsome at all, which made people even more envious and jealous.
If it wasn’t for the fact that Zhu Pingan was dressed in the clothes of an obviously wealthy family, as well as Liu Mu and Liu Dazhou, who were obviously in extraordinary hands behind him.
They would have been more than just sitting at the table envious and jealous.
Li Shu Painter and the girls disliked the lobby, and Zhu Pingan also disliked the lobby people’s eyes that all the good cabbages had been swept away by pigs, so he gave the shop assistant a reward of a piece of broken silver, and asked the shop assistant to arrange for a second-floor elegant room.
Liu Mu, Liu Dazhou two people want to stay in the lobby, Zhu Pingan also knows that if they go to the elegant room, they are not comfortable, instead they will eat in the lobby will be more comfortable, so they ordered a table for them, let them stay in the lobby.
The first floor of the elegant room has a good environment, the decoration is elegant and delicate, like a study and like a boudoir, both elegant and showy and comfortable.
A table of dishes, a pot of tea.
During the meal, the talk of the province downstairs also faintly came up.
“Lord Yan is really worthy of being a minister of the pillar state, was ordered to review the Taicang silver warehouse theft case, in one fell swoop uncovered the country’s moths more than a hundred people, just two days for my Daming treasury to generate two silver more than seven hundred thousand, more than two hundred thousand pieces of gold ……”
“The Minister of the Army, the Jade Jewellery of the Great Ming ……”
“Hey, have you heard! Yesterday’s time, the brocade guards from the Taicang former management library minister home searched out more than 100,000 taels of silver 10,000 taels of gold, pulling the gold and silver when, tired to death a horse it ……”
“Oh, from his home searched out so much silver is not surprising at all, that person has how greedy private who do not know. To me, the most shocking is the king of the Imperial Palace, tsk, yesterday before anyone mentioned the king of the Imperial Palace have to give a thumbs up, this is our Ming famous clean official ah, in the capital for ten years for the official, are still renting a broken house to live in, the daughter of ten years old is still crowded with them in a house it …….I can’t help it, don’t say buy a house, this Wang Royal Secretary can’t even afford to rent a big house ah. I heard that when the people of the East Chamber searched the house, this Wang Royal Shi also with his mother-in-law and children on the rotten vegetable leaves to drink thin rice it, tsk, but never thought, the people of the East Chamber in the Wang Royal Shi that broken house searched out eighteen thousand five hundred and forty-three taels of silver, are buried in the yard it.”
“I heard that there are two other officials in Taicang who committed suicide …… in fear of committing a crime.”
Listened to the downstairs people so high talk sound, buns little maid painting child pouting little mouth can tie a bottle of oil, indignant up: “What is the ah, clearly is the aunt to check out the case, the deficit ah books ah, the aunt have found out the problem, that what Yan Song is just reach out and pick a ripe peach, why the benefits of letting him take up ah.”
“That’s right, I’m also unfair for the aunt.”Qin’er followed and nodded her head.
“Hmph, they are bullies, auntie some days ago how hard ah, get up early in the morning and stay up all night, eat not good sleep not good, a day on the gnawing cake, it is not easy to check the treasury deficit to the bottom of the sky, the result is that they do not work, reach out to pick a peach, think about it all angry.”The little bun maid, Painter’s little face was puffing with anger.
Painting finished, listening to the downstairs and a burst of discussion, listened to a sentence, wrinkled brow corner of the eyebrows fluttered up, “the original or have an understanding of the people.”
“If I say the other day to find out the Taicang shortfall of the inspector Zhu Pingan Zhu Ta-Jin, that is the biggest credit. If it wasn’t for the fact that Lord Zhu defied authority and stripped naked to prove his innocence, and insisted on checking Taicang to the bottom, how could such a large theft from Taicang be exposed to the light of day.”
The discussion downstairs reached the elegant room on the first floor, causing the bun little maid to raise her eyebrows.
However, soon the bun little maid puckered her little face and pouted again, because similar such arguments were soon covered by the overwhelming voices praising Yan Song.
