Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

Starting from the most prosperous Yangling Street, it is only a quarter of an hour's walk, and there is an endless stream of pedestrians every day, even in winter, there are often people visiting.

The rolling river water pours down from the mountain, and the waterfalls are turbulent, which is too beautiful to behold.

At a distance of only [-] zhang from the shore, a small island with a radius of about [-] zhang is completely independent, with only a small bridge connecting it to the shore.

If you stand on the island, you can have a panoramic view of the scenery in a radius of tens of miles. From a distance, you can even see the magnificent scene of "Eight Rivers Surrounding Chang'an"!

Decades ago, someone wanted to imitate Yueyang Tower and built a restaurant on this island, but when it was about to be completed, war broke out and it was abandoned.

And just five days ago, a large number of craftsmen suddenly settled in, and in a short period of time, the pavilion was completely new!

The pavilion has five floors. On the walls are murals of ancient sages. The windows are wrapped in veils. Even the pillars and cornices are extremely exquisite.

There are green pines and cypresses dotted around, strange horses and strange rocks, although it is still winter, it gives people a feeling of vitality.

I don't know how shocking the scenery on this island will be when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming.

Liu Bai sat by the window on the fifth floor, drinking tea while enjoying the scenery.

Chai Lingwu barged in yelling, his face full of excitement.

"Brother Liu, do you really want me to be the shopkeeper?"

Liu Bai put down his teacup, and said with a smile: "When you become a big shopkeeper, don't mess around like before. Your task now is to get familiar with the business process as soon as possible, so as not to make jokes after opening!"

Chai Lingwu nodded desperately, and said, "Brother Liu, just watch!"

After finishing speaking, he ran downstairs again with a 'whoosh' sound.

Don't look at Chai Lingwu, if you can't write well, you can't do martial arts, but when it comes to frying tea, he has a bit of talent.

A few days ago, he not only taught a group of fellows, but also developed a set of unique tea-frying techniques. Therefore, Liu Bai specially selected a place far away from the busy city, but not too remote, and opened a teahouse.

You must pay attention to cleanliness when drinking tea. Why would you drink tea if it is overcrowded?

The reason why Chai Lingwu was chosen as the treasurer was because he knew what to do, and second, he wanted to find something for him to do, so that he would not have to do nothing at home every day and cause trouble all day long.

Now everything is ready, just wait for the auspicious time to open for business.

There are still about ten days before the Chinese New Year, and the officials have finally come to rest and take a bath.

Early in the morning, the chief officials of all departments came to the mansion, sealed the files and files, and waited for the spring of next year before continuing to deal with the remaining government affairs.

Dai Zhou was no exception. He neatly arranged the files, ordered the subordinate staff to put a seal on the files, and left in a hurry.

As soon as he went out, he saw Fang Xuanling and other five big men from the three provinces who had just walked out of the mansion of the three provinces.

"I've seen you, my lords!" Dai Zhou hurriedly saluted.

Seeing Dai Zhou's hurried look, Fang Xuanling smiled and said, "Xuanyin, why are you so anxious?"

After finishing speaking, he stroked his long beard and said, "Recently, you have been taking the limelight. Your Majesty has praised the Cui family many times, saying that the reason why you were able to convict the Cui family so quickly is all because of your integrity. It seems that you are not far from being promoted." Not far away!"

Dai Zhou smiled embarrassingly, "Master Fang was joking, don't you know how the officer got the evidence?"

He pointed to the gift box in the hand of his entourage, and said: "It's time for Xiu Mu, I'm going to thank Mr. Liu again, if it wasn't for him, not only would I not be rewarded, I'm afraid I would be punished by Your Majesty." "

Want to see Liu Bai?

Hearing this, Fang Xuanling's eyes lit up immediately, not only him, but the eyes of Du Ruhui, Xiao Yu and others beside him also lit up.

The last time they went to Liu's house, it can be said to be an eye-opener. The case of the drum car can be said to have solved the urgent need of the court.

If it weren't for the busy government affairs at the end of the year, they would have gone to Liu's house a long time ago to see and see again. Maybe Liu Bai came up with something unexpected.

Several people looked at each other, and immediately understood the meaning of the other party tacitly.

Du Ruhui coughed and said, "Xuan Yin is right, anyway, it's time for rest, why don't we go to Jingyang together and have a tour?"

Everyone responded one after another, Gao Shilian smiled, and said: "It just so happens that the old man is ill and is visiting the Liu family. You can also ask Dr. Li for a diagnosis and treatment!"

As soon as he said he would leave, several big men from the three provinces turned their faces and got into the carriage that Dai Zhou had prepared long ago.

Dai Zhou was dumbfounded.

What is this called?

Obviously he was going to thank Liu Bai by himself, why are these old fellows joining in the fun?

Just to join in the fun, why do you want to get in your own carriage?

He walked around the carriage and couldn't help scratching his head. There are five people in the carriage, where should he sit?

Helpless, he could only squeeze a seat beside the coachman, and the carriage wobbled out of the imperial palace and headed towards Jingyang.

From Chang'an to Jingyang, there are official roads along the way, and the carriage is not bumpy, but Fang Xuanling and others are getting old, and the youngest Dai Zhou is also in his 40s.

As soon as the carriage entered Jingyang County, they couldn't hold back anymore, and got off the carriage one by one, wanting to breathe.

A few old guys simply strolled in from the gate of the city together.

"I came out in a hurry, and I didn't prepare any water. The old man is very thirsty!" Gao Shilian said wearily, hammering his back.

Xiao Yu suddenly sniffled, "Huh? Why is it so fragrant?"

This is a kind of delicate fragrance, not strong, not the fragrance of flowers, not like the meaty fragrance, but reveals a light fragrance that penetrates the heart and spleen, which makes people feel a little bit salivating.

Everyone smelled it and searched for it along Yangling Street in the direction of the Jinghe River.

After a cup of tea!

A few old guys stopped in their tracks, and when they looked up, they suddenly found a tall, majestic, and antique building on a small island on the bank of the Jing River not far away!

Fang Xuanling raised his hand to block the sun, and looked from a distance, "Is my eyes dazzled? I came to Jingyang before, and I never remembered this tall building."

"It used to be an old abandoned building in the Sui Dynasty. Someone should have rebuilt it." Du Ruhui was slightly startled after finishing speaking, and then said, "Would the fragrance come from there?"

"It should be a newly opened restaurant, how about a few, let's go and have a rest together?"

Fang Xuanling asked everyone for their opinions.

"I have also been on that island, and the scenery is indeed unforgettable. It's a pity that there was nothing on the island at that time. Now that there is this tall building, the scenery should be even better!" Gao Shilian stroked his beard and smiled.

Everyone hit it off and walked towards the tall building.

Chapter 52: Here comes the money giver!How many Fang Xuanlings are there in Datang?

Only after Fang Xuanling and others arrived did they realize that the entire island was almost full of people.

The door plaque of the high-rise building was covered with red silk, and it seemed that it was about to open soon.

crackling

With the sound of firecrackers, a young man came out carelessly. He looked around and cleared his throat, "Our store has a grand opening today, everyone is welcome to join us!"

As he said that, with a wave of his hand, the clerk immediately pulled off the red silk on the door plaque, revealing the three characters of 'Liu Yexuan'.

"Good name!"

"Once this store opens, other restaurants may not be able to sit still!"

"Shopkeeper, your store is so big, I'm afraid the price is very expensive?"

Hearing others addressing him, the young man immediately became proud. He held his head up and waved a finger.

"This shop does not sell wine and food, but only sells tea!"

There was an uproar in the crowd.

Tea?

In their understanding, tea is either fried tea or herbal tea, and most people sell tea, at most they open a tea stall, because they can't earn much money at all.

Why open such a large shop in such an area where every inch of land is expensive?

"This man's brain must be broken!"

"How much can the tea be sold for? I don't think it will take three days before we have to close the shop!"

Someone whispered.

When Fang Xuanling and the others saw the young shopkeeper, their eyes straightened.

Isn't this Chai Lingwu?

When did he become the shopkeeper?

Chai Lingwu smiled mysteriously, and waved someone to bring out a display stand.

"Tea in the lobby on the first and second floors, five hundred cash per cup!"

"Elegant rooms on the third and fourth floors, each room is ten guan, tea is not included!"

"Private tea room on the fifth floor, the price is negotiable!"

At the bottom of the display stand, there are four huge characters written.

The old man is innocent!

There was a gasp in the crowd.

"It's too dark!"

"Take a sip of tea, and catch up with my family's food and clothing expenses for several years!"

"Three days? I think we have to close the door today!"

The well-to-do family in the Tang Dynasty only spent seven or eight dollars a year to eat and drink. If the price on the display rack is really calculated, few people in the entire Jingyang County can afford tea.

And the most staggering thing is that above the third floor, just sitting in the private room costs ten pennies, not counting tea?

If it weren't for the guys around Chai Lingwu, all of them with big arms and round waists, someone would have rushed up and beat him up.

Isn't this money grabbing? !

More than half of the onlookers huffed and dispersed.

But there are also those who don't care. These people only look at the clothes on their bodies, and they are not ordinary people.

Fang Xuanling and the others looked at each other and walked forward directly.

Ten strings of money is nothing to them.

"Hey, some old gentlemen are here, come quickly, and take some old gentlemen to the fifth floor!"

Fang Xuanling was very satisfied, Chai Lingwu did not disclose their identities.

Hearing that Chai Lingwu said to go to the fifth floor, he was even more relieved. He reached out and patted Chai Lingwu on the shoulder, and said, "Your boy has become a big shopkeeper, and you look much more stable. Not bad, not bad."

As everyone knows, Chai Lingwu didn't think that much at all.

"Here comes the money giver, here comes the money giver"

Chai Lingwu shouted in his heart.

The fifth floor is reserved for these distinguished people, and the price is naturally not comparable to other floors.

Unexpectedly, a lot of money can be made just after opening

A few more people in extraordinary clothes came up, the leader was a middle-aged fat man in a green robe with big ears, and as soon as he came up, he said arrogantly, "What's the price on the fifth floor?"

Chai Lingwu looked them up and down, "Come here, take the guests to the third floor!"

The fat man was furious. Rich people like them are most afraid of being looked down upon.

"Are you afraid that my master will not be able to afford the money? Let me tell you, my master has several shops on Yangling Street, and he can earn at least [-] guan silver a year!"

Chai Lingwu was also a little angry, but when he remembered that he was now the shopkeeper and opened the door to do business, it was not easy to get angry at the customers.

"The fifth floor of our store is a private tea room, not open to the public!"

The fat man glared at Chai Lingwu, and asked, "How did those old men go up just now?!"

Chai Lingwu was busy greeting other guests, so he casually replied, "If you were Fang Xuanling, you could go up too!"

"What is Fang Xuanling, my lord?"

When the fat man said this, his voice paused.

"Who are you talking about?!"

He screamed and his face turned pale.

The few people who followed him were also terrified.

How many Fang Xuanlings are there in Datang?
