Di Renjie was quickly introduced.
"I met with the prince and met several young ladies."
"Master Di, you should call me Young Master in normal situations."
"Have you eaten yet? Come and have some. You must have never eaten these fried dough sticks."
Chang Qing said to Di Renjie.
"This..." Di Renjie was a little hesitant.
"Oh, if big brother asks you to sit down, just sit down. Such a big man is so shy." Huang Rong said.
Then Di Renjie also started having breakfast together.
"What is Master Di's weapon?" Chang Qing suddenly asked.
"My subordinate is good at concealed weapons and whips."
Changqing's eyes lit up.
"Oh, a hidden weapon? Not bad."
He didn't really regard Wan'er as one of the kings like the last time he saw her.
After eating, everyone, escorted by Di Renjie, left the palace, intending to take a stroll around Chang'an City.
As far as he knew, Chang'an City was the largest city in the world in terms of scale and area, with an area of nearly a hundred square kilometers, more than double the size of Tokyo and the Forbidden City.
The twenty-five streets that intersect from east to west and from north to south in Chang'an City divide the city into two cities with 108 lanes. The city is divided into east and west parts with Zhuque Street as the boundary: the eastern part belongs to Wannian County and should have had 55 lanes. Because the Qujiang Scenic Area in the southeast corner of the city occupies two lanes, it actually has 53 lanes; The western part belongs to Chang'an County, with a city of fifty-five squares.
Looking at the various merchants and pedestrians around, you can also see Persian orchids, Semu people, and other merchants from various countries in the Western Regions. It is really a prosperous scene in the Tang Dynasty.
Zhuque Street, Furong Building.
Furong Tower has gained a lot of fame recently. It is said that a young lady has come here who specializes in performing sword dances for guests. Her sword dance is so beautiful that it dazzles people. Many people made a special trip here just to have a look at it, but they arrived too late and couldn't even enter Furong Tower.
When Chang Qing and others arrived at Zhuque Street, Huang Rong immediately became excited and led the way with a slight trot.
"Everyone, hurry up. Let's go early so we can get a good seat."
At this time, Di Renjie took out a golden token from his arms and said to Chang Qing.
"This token is the Xuanwu Order that Your Majesty just handed over to me this morning. With this token, you can go anywhere in the Tang Dynasty without any hindrance."
Changqing took it and understood what he meant. If you go to Furong Tower and show this card, you can enter. But looking at Huang Rong jumping up and down in front of her, Chang Qing didn't want to disturb her interest.
After walking around like this, everyone finally came to Furong Building. The design of this building was really full of flowers, and the outside of the building was covered with colorful ribbons. The whole building was five stories high, and it was very large inside, enough to seat hundreds of people. In the middle of the first floor It's a stage.
The second and third west floors surround the middle, where you can just watch stage performances. This design seems very reasonable in modern times.
Welcoming the guests at the door were several good-looking women, who they must have known to Huang Rong.
"Miss Huang, you are here again today, why are you so early?" One of the women came up and said.
"Well, today I'm bringing my eldest brother and sisters to watch the show. Please arrange a good seat for me."
"By coincidence, there is a large private room on the second floor. I will take you in right now."
"That's great, big brother. The second floor is the best viewing spot. I didn't have a seat the last few times I came here."
After saying that, he couldn't wait to drag Chang Qing and the girls in. They saw that the first floor was already full of people, and everyone was toasting, drinking, and chatting.
Above the second floor there are basically private rooms of various sizes, prepared for dignitaries.
Everyone was led into the large private room on the second floor, where they saw that it was already filled with various snacks, snacks, and fruits. The private room is large, more than enough to seat a dozen people.
Several people sat down one after another, leaning against the railings and just enough to see the stage below. Huang Rong was right, this is the best viewing angle.
After everyone sat down, someone brought wine.
"Brother, the wine here is delicious. I'll pour it for you."
"Humph, you have learned how to drink." Dongfang Bubai said.
Huang Rong stuck out her tongue, but did not stop her movements. She poured wine for Chang Qing and everyone, except of course Yi Lin.
"Okay, Dongfang, it's just wine, drink less and you'll be fine."
Di Renjie is serious and powerful. Changqing looked a little funny at his serious look.
"Master Di, have you often come to a place like this before?"
Di Renjie said quickly after hearing this.
"This is my first time here, too."
"Well, it seems that Master Di is still an upright official."
Chang Qing is right, there is very little money in Dali Temple, and Di Renjie is upright and has never taken bribes. Therefore, the salary from the imperial court is not enough for him to squander here.
As soon as the previous few people went upstairs, Huang Rong gave the restaurant five hundred taels of silver notes. It is conceivable that ordinary officials must not be able to spend it.
A few people were eating snacks and drinking wine. After a while, a group of Orchids came to the stage, and several musicians sat next to them. The music started playing, and Hu Ji started dancing in an exotic way. Chang Qing looked a bit like the Dunhuang murals.
The girls were also attracted by this exotic atmosphere, admiring it intently. Only Huang Rong seemed to be used to it and kept whispering to Yilin.
"Brother, when this dance is over, Sister Gongsun will come out. Also, if there is a chance later, Sister Gongsun can come and toast us."
Huang Rong said excitedly.
When Hu Ji's dance ended, everyone threw money and silver towards the stage.
Chang Qing and others also threw money down one after another, and suddenly the sky was filled with money rain, which was very spectacular.
"Hahaha, not bad, interesting, interesting." Changqing said with a smile, stroking his hands.
After the Orchids had packed up their money, thanked everyone and left.
The people at the scene suddenly became excited. A plump woman wearing a silk scarf and a red skirt, revealing her small waist, slowly walked onto the stage.
"It's Sister Gongsun." Huang Rong shouted.
The woman below seemed to hear Huang Rong's voice amidst the shouts of the crowd, and actually glanced at Chang Qing and the others, and then nodded slightly.
"Ah ah ah, young master, sister Gongsun nodded to me." Huang Rong danced excitedly.
Everyone couldn't help but smile.
"My little lady, I would like to thank you all for your support. I hope you all have a good time today." I saw Gongsun saying a wish to Western Zhou Dynasty.
Then she nodded to the musicians in the audience.
Music starts.
Gongsun Li slowly raised the sword in his hand.
I saw the sword in her hand dancing with the music, and the sword light flickered, like Hou Yi shooting down the nine suns; the dancing posture was vigorous and agile, just like the god flying on the dragon; the drum beat paused before dancing, like the thunder stopping its anger.
Changqing couldn't help but nodded. This woman was also a master of swordsmanship, and a genius. She could actually combine dance and swordsmanship. Although her cultivation was just innate. But Chang Qing felt that only Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng could compete with her in a real swordsmanship competition.
Under the stage, everyone upstairs was mesmerized by the sword dance. Gradually, the music slowly calmed down. As the music ended, the shadow of the sword in Gongsun's hand returned to calm like the waves in the calm river and sea.
"good."
"Wonderful."
"This dance is unparalleled in the world."
"Wow, that's great. Sister Gongsun."
Everyone stood up and cheered, and Chang Qing and others clapped their hands and praised him.
This time, no one was as vulgar as throwing money on the stage, which would offend the beauty.
At this time, an older woman also walked up, stood beside Gongsun Li, smiled and pressed her hands to everyone.
When the scene became calmer, the woman spoke.
"Then it's time to bid for Miss Gongsun's companionship."
At this time, Huang Rong and everyone started to explain what the auction was about.
It turns out that there is an auction every day to see who bids the highest price. For the highest bidder, Gongsunli will accompany him for an hour. Of course, he will just drink and chat, nothing more, and he will not do other deviant things.
Ronger was afraid that everyone would misunderstand, so she explained in detail.
Then he was eager to give it a try and wanted to pay a high price to take advantage of this opportunity.
"By the way, Miss Gongsun has decided that today is the last auction, and there will be no more bids in the future." At this time, the woman suddenly said.
Suddenly everyone in the audience started to get confused again. The last time, it meant that there would be no chance to drink with the family after today.
"I'll pay five hundred taels"
"I will pay you one thousand taels"
"One thousand three hundred taels"
"I will pay two thousand taels"
"Two thousand five hundred taels"
"I will give you three thousand taels."
At this time, an arrogant voice came from a private room in the west building.
"Huh, I'll give you five thousand taels."
Huang Rong couldn't help but bid.
"Wow, five thousand taels. The highest in the past few days was only two thousand taels."
Everyone was talking about it.
"I bid eight thousand taels," the man continued.
"My lady, ten thousand taels." Huang Rong was unambiguous.
"Where did you come from, yellow-haired girl? Are you sincerely against me?" the man cursed.
"Hey, we're all just here to have fun. Don't be embarrassed if you can't afford it." Huang Rong would not spoil him.
After hearing this, everyone in the audience burst out laughing.
"Okay, okay, I'll bid you twelve thousand taels."
"Fifteen thousand taels." Huang Rong continued.
"Twenty thousand, I will give you twenty thousand." The man said angrily.
"Hmph, fifty thousand." Huang Rong suddenly offered a sky-high price.
Everyone was shocked by this little girl's generosity. Even Gongsun Li looked at Huang Rong a few more times.
"You, you, you, do you know who I am?" The man obviously lacked confidence and planned to use his identity to suppress others.
"It doesn't matter who you are, go out if you can afford it. If you can't afford it, don't use your status to pressure others. You will lose face for nothing." Huang Rong said disdainfully.
Chang Qing and the others were all amused. This little girl is quite capable of attacking people.
"Okay, okay, I'll give you 60,000 yuan. I'll give you 60,000 yuan. Let me tell you that I am Wu Min."
The young man upstairs yelled viciously.
"It turned out to be him."
"This girl is miserable."
"This guy is not easy to mess with."
Everyone heard this man introduce himself to his family, and then started whispering among themselves. It seemed that he was a powerful person.
Huang Rong was not used to him. Apart from Chang Qing and Dongfang Bubai, this girl was not even afraid of her own father, so how could she be afraid of others.
She stood up, put her feet on the chair and shouted.
"Hmph... My aunt will give you one hundred thousand, and it's none of your business. If you don't have money, just stay away from me."
Everyone was shocked by this large sum of money. You must know that one hundred thousand taels can buy a large Western courtyard in Chang'an, and a maid only costs fifty taels.
"Okay, okay...you are very good. Just wait for me."
The women in the audience were already laughing happily.
"Miss Gongsun will be drinking with this young lady tonight."
Huang Rong, who was in the private room on the second floor, was so excited that she didn't know what to do.
