    As the waiter walked, he introduced: "You three gentlemen, the Fan Tower is divided into five floors: east, south, west, north and middle. The west tower is the largest, but it is opposite the palace. From there, you can see the situation inside the palace.  , so the West Building is not allowed to accept guests now.¡±

    After that, he added: "Miss Shishi lives in the west building. If the three young masters have good poems and music scores, the younger ones can pass them to Miss Shishi. If they can be favored by Miss Shishi, the three young masters can  Go sit in the west building for a while. If Miss Shishi is in high spirits, she might be able to play a song for the three young masters. Nowadays, Miss Shishi is hard to find."

    Hearing this, Ruan Xiaoqi blurted out and asked: "But the one who had a fierce fight with the emperor?"

    The waiter said hurriedly: "Master, please be quieter. Although everyone knows about this matter, we cannot discuss it."

    It was only two years ago that Huizong Zhao Ji and Li Shishi met. As Huizong went out of the palace more and more frequently, their affairs gradually spread in Tokyo.

    But it became known to everyone this year that after the Fan Tower was built, the West Tower became a place where Li Shishi lived alone, and Huizong came more frequently.

    The imperial censor Cao Fu then directly reported, "Yi Fu Wei Xing stayed in a prostitute's house since your majesty."  He scolded Huizong for playing safe and neglecting danger, which made Huizong angry and demoted him to Chenzhou for management.

    It is precisely because of this performance that everyone in the world knows that the current Holy Emperor is a romantic emperor.

    Chao Yong was also prepared. He took out a folded piece of Chengxintang paper from his arms and said with a smile: "I have heard about Miss Shishi's reputation many times. I came across a poem a few days ago, but I don't know how good it is.  If you have a beautiful eye, please send it to the waiter."

    Master Li¡¯s reputation spread far and wide, and his admirers were like carps crossing the river. Xiaoer Hongyan did a lot of work delivering letters, and he was also very familiar with all kinds of paper.

    ¡°When I saw that what Chao Yong took out was actually Chengxintang paper made in Shezhou, my assessment of Chao Yong¡¯s worth immediately increased a lot.

    By the time papermaking was invented in the dynasty, there were already many varieties. The famous ones include Sichuan's cloth paper and Lengjin paper, Shezhou's Ningshuang and Chengxin, Xuanzhou's chestnut paper, Zhejiang's rattan paper, Wenzhou's Juan paper, etc.  wait.

    But the best is Chengxintang paper. This paper is as smooth as spring water, as fine as silkworm cocoons, and tougher than Shu paper. It can be up to fifty feet long and evenly thin.

    Li Yu, the late emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, praised Chengxintang paper as "the king of paper" and built "Chengxintang" specifically for storage.

    After the Song Dynasty destroyed the Southern Tang Dynasty, Chengxintang paper also became one of the tributes from Shezhou, and it was also very popular with the royal family of the Northern Song Dynasty. Famous artists of the time were proud to calligraphy and painting on Chengxintang paper.

    Because the rich and powerful liked it, Chengxintang paper was very expensive. Even if they got a piece by chance, they would not be willing to calligraphy or painting on it.

    Chao Yong¡¯s piece was accidentally acquired by the owner as a treasure when he sacked Dongping Mansion in Liangshan. In order to meet Li Shishi, he asked Wu Yong to write directly on it.

    The waiter took the Chengxintang paper, carefully put it into his arms, and said: "Master, wait a moment, I will take you to choose a room in the pavilion first, and then send it over later. Master, I don't know when the girl will look at it, and the master will not let go while eating wine."  Wait, if Miss Shishi likes it, she will let someone come and let her know."

    Chao Yong nodded and said, "That's fine. I wonder which floor is better except the west building?"

    "The north building is the best. Open the windows and you can overlook Genyue Mountain during the day, and you can watch the Zhouqiao Night Market and Bianhe River Touring Women at night."

    When Chao Yong heard that he could see Gen Yue, he immediately became interested.

    Gen Yue can be said to have a bad reputation. The Huashi Gang that Yang Zhi escorted was for the purpose of building Gen Yue. Fangla rebelled because the people in the southeast were suffering from the Huashi Gang.  It can be said that the construction of Genyue shook half of the Song Dynasty.

    Chao Yong also wanted to see Gen Yue, who was said to have "searched for all the famous flowers and stones in the world", so he immediately asked the young man to lead the way.

    The three of them followed the waiter up to the north tower, and saw that the building was divided into small pavilions. There were small wooden plaques on the doors of each pavilion with their names, Zuixiao, Guiyun, Yangxiao, and Guilin, but they were different.  Like a building, each one is elegant and tight.

    Chao Yong chose Yangxiao Pavilion. The waiter stepped forward and opened the door, and saw that the interior was elegantly decorated and there was a landscape painting hanging on the wall.

    The three of them sat down, and Ruan Xiaoqi couldn't wait to ask: "What kind of good wine do you have in Fanlou?"

    "This restaurant is most famous for its homemade Meishou and Hezhi."

    "Then let's start with five kilograms each. For other dishes, feel free to choose the best ones. Grandpa has enjoyed himself, and your reward is indispensable."

    When the waiter heard that there was a reward, he immediately said happily: "The three young masters, wait a moment, I will make arrangements for you."

    Chao Yong couldn't help but feel happy when he saw Ruan Xiaoqi's bold appearance.

    After Chao Gai and others robbed the birthday card in Huangnigang, the jewels worth 100,000 yuan were divided among seven people. After going to Liangshan, Chao Gai took out his share.?It is considered as a common use in the cottage.  Ruan Xiaoqi and others originally came up with a part, but were rejected by Chao Gai.

    In Liangshan on weekdays, Ruan Xiaoqi also has money but no place to spend it, so when he came to Tokyo this time, he brought a lot of gold and silver, so his tone was not that big.

    While the waiter was busy preparing, Chao Yong walked to the window, and Gen Yue not far away came into view.

    At this time, Genyue has not yet been completed. Although it is already evening, the craftsmen in the garden are still working in full swing.  Many strange stones have been placed in the garden. Although they are a little far apart, some of the larger stones are still very shocking and beautiful, making people marvel at the uncanny craftsmanship of nature.

    "Look, there are so many people pulling that huge boulder. I don't know how many manpower this foolish king used to pull it to Tokyo."

    While Chao Yong was admiring it, Ruan Xiaoqi also came to the window, but in his eyes, it seemed that those strange rocks and stubborn rocks on the river beach were not very beautiful at all. He just hated Zhao Ji for letting the people get these rocks.

    While Chao Yong admired it, he also felt that Zhao Ji was too mediocre. The terrain of Kaifeng was flat and there were no mountains. These strange stones were all transported from the far south of the Yangtze River. Every stone was stained with the blood and sweat of the people.

    Thinking of this, Chao Yong no longer wanted to continue admiring, and nodded: "Zhao Ji acts against nature and will bring disaster to himself one day. Well, there are businessmen everywhere in Tokyo. Let's not talk about him anymore, wait and see."  Wine is."

    As soon as the two sat down, they saw the waiter coming in with two jars of wine, followed by the woman Shi Qian had just chosen.

    The woman saw the ceremony with the three people, then sat next to Shi Qian, and stood up diligently to pour wine for the three people.

    "Just wait for him, I'll do it myself."

    Ruan Xiaoqi, however, had already grabbed the wine jar, filled it for herself and Chao Yong, and then placed it on the wine table.

    Chao Yong saw that Shi Qian was a little uncomfortable, so he couldn't help but smile at the woman: "Just serve that man well, he will definitely receive your reward."

    Seeing that Chao Yong didn't seem to be disgusted, Shi Qian became bolder. He didn't know when he had an extra silver coin in his hand, and he put it into the undulations of the drunken prostitute's mountains, and conveniently touched a handful of his towering breasts.

    The woman was obviously not a newcomer to the industry. Although there were Chao Yong and two other people beside her, when she saw Shi Qian giving her a silver ingot worth five taels, she immediately used all kinds of charms and started teasing Shi Qian as if no one was watching.  The two of them kept making out, and Shi Qian drank bowl after bowl of wine from the wine jar.

    Chao Yong looked at Shi Qian¡¯s extraordinary arrogance at this time, and finally understood why drunken prostitutes were so popular.  No matter how hard you drink, you will probably have to drink a lot more while being served by these charming women.

    As time goes by, I don¡¯t know how much more taxes I have to pay for the court. Therefore, the court of the Northern Song Dynasty ignored the immoral comments and tried its best to promote the system of drunkards and prostitutes.
