Chapter 3 When will the West Lake singing and dancing be closed?
The inn where Yin Zhiping and Lu Wende stayed was also within the northern section of Yujie. This inn was the place where officials who went to Beijing to report their duties or were summoned by the emperor to Beijing. Naturally, it would not be too far from where the palace and the various departments were located. They were all within the northern section of Yujie, and the two places were not far apart. The carriage stopped for a short while and arrived at Fanlou.
Yin Zhiping got off the carriage and looked up at the Fan Tower in front of him. This building was three floors high, facing each other with flying bridges connecting each other, which was gorgeous and magnificent. At this time, the lights were just on, and there were even more brilliant lights, and there were silk and bamboo wind music. The singing of the singer came from the building.
This most famous restaurant in Lin'an City is actually nothing compared to the various high-rise buildings and star-rated hotels that Yin Zhiping saw in his previous life. But in this ancient time, compared with the low buildings next to it, it is indeed a flock of chickens, which is extraordinary. The height of this building is lower than the main hall of Wende Hall, the highest building in the palace. This is a regulation, but it cannot be surpassed.
In Lin'an City, if you dare to have buildings that are taller than those built by the imperial palace hall, you will be punished by officials. Even if the background of the people who built Fan Tower was deep, they would not dare to surpass this system. In fact, in terms of the height of the building, Wende Hall may not be higher than Fan Tower. The reason why it is tall is that the base of Wende Hall is high, and the foundation of the hall made of white marble is three meters high.
The carriage that picked up Lu Wende and Yin Zhiping to the inn to attend the banquet was not only the coachman, but also the other one. He was the follower of one of the people who were greeting Lu Wende at the dock. The carriage stopped at Fanlou, and the man first complained to Lu Wende and Yin Zhiping in the carriage, went into the building to inform him, and the coachman lifted the curtain of the carriage and asked the two to get out of the car.
Shortly after the two got off the car, the people who were greeting Lü Wende at the dock in the afternoon came out of the building together. Yin Zhiping greeted Lü Wende and the people. After a few words of cold words, he walked into the building together. The interior decoration in Fan Building is also magnificent, rich and elegant, which is pleasing to the eye.
When he arrived at the private room he had booked, the person who was treating him today called a friend to ask everyone to order wine and dishes. Yin Zhiping maintained his image of Quanzhen Sect Gaodao not sticking to wine and meat. He asked the friend to report the famous vegetarian dishes in Fanlou, chose two orders, ordered a pot of vegetarian wine, and then asked everyone to do it. Everyone ordered one or two dishes, but because Yin Zhiping, a monk, was present, he endured that he did not order a singing girl to come in and sing songs to accompany the wine.
Yin Zhiping observed his expressions and expressions. Seeing that while they were talking, some people were paying attention to listening to the singing of the singers from outside, but they could guess what the people were thinking, and they couldn't help but think that they were a little wrong. Their visits to the banquet themselves made it very inconvenient for these people. Although they didn't say anything at this time, they were probably a little regretful and secretly unhappy.
In fact, it is not a big deal for him. After all, the patterns of ancient and modern times are different. He went out to socialize with people in his previous life, and he was eating just for dinner, and at most he had a drink at the table. However, he had various entertainment programs after drinking. He went to KTV to sing and asked a few princesses to sing with him. After he came to this ancient times, he went to a restaurant and just ate, but he didn't know that when he was eating, he could hang out singing girls to accompany him. He listened to small songs while eating. I have to say that the ancients would enjoy it.
Although he had seen such scenes and clips in some ancient film and television dramas in his previous life, he had never seen such scenes several times when he went to a restaurant for dinner in ancient times. However, when the original Yin Zhiping was walking around the world, he didn't have the time to pay attention to these, so he forgot about this kind of enjoyment program.
In addition, he did not know that Lin'an enjoyment was a trend, and Fanlou was a place where high-ranking officials and nobles, royal relatives and other relatives gathered together. It was normal for him to eat and call singing girls and sing songs and accompany him to drink. In fact, it is not just Fanlou, but most restaurants in Lin'an are the same. The general mentality and atmosphere of Lin'an are to have fun in time. No matter how he fights to death in the north, as long as he can ensure that he can live a life and a dream and die here.
"When will the singing and dancing in the West Lake be done outside the mountain? The warm wind makes tourists drunk, and they make Hangzhou Bianzhou." Lin Sheng's poem is a portrayal of Lin'an City now. From emperors and senior officials in the court, to peddlers and barracks, to ordinary people, most of them are thinking of being peaceful and enjoying timely.
Yin Zhiping actually wanted to join forces and enjoyed the treatment of eating and singing music with these people. But he just met several people today, and had always maintained a true image before. Suddenly, this was the change too quickly and made people suspicious.
Since he had guessed that these people were inconvenient to this because of their identity, he knew that if he stayed there, he would only make the people secretly unhappy. If he wanted to have a good relationship, he would have a chance in the future, so there would be no need to be at this moment. Moreover, these people were not really powerful people, but he didn't have to go up to the point of being welcomed by Fenglai Quyi.
After observing the beauty, Yin Zhiping had no intention of staying here anymore. He actually had no common topics with these people. It was just that they saw that they were officials in Beijing and wanted to manage some interpersonal relationships, which might be used in the future when preaching.
Since it was a bit abnormal tonight, it would be fine. After the food and drinks were served, he toasted a few people with vegetarian wine, and then used the excuse of going back to meditate and practice, and said goodbye first. The person who was sitting in the east wanted to ask the servants to take him to the carriage, and Yin Zhiping politely declined. Although he was riding in the carriage when he came, he still recognized the way at such a distance.
However, Lu Wende really knew his skills and had been threatened by him. He was afraid that he would not be happy because of the banquet. He personally accompanied him out of Fanlou, and accompanied him to apologize carefully on the first floor. Yin Zhiping was a little amused at him, but he could see that Lu Wende was really timid and afraid of making him unhappy.
"Mr. Lu, it's not your fault. It's also the suddenness I promised during the day. It's boring for me to join in with your colleagues. Let's go back. I'll walk around the imperial street at will. I'll go back to the inn if I'll go back to the inn later." After leaving the building, Yin Zhi rehabilitated and comforted Lu Wende, saying goodbye and left.
Yin Zhiping did not walk to the inn and walked directly in the opposite direction. Lin'an Shishang had the heart to have fun in time, so the nightlife was quite rich, and there were quite a few shops closed at night. Most restaurants and restaurants were still making a living, and lanterns were hung on the street. Although there were fewer pedestrians on the street than during the day, there were still many. There were no curfew in Lin'an City, and there were even restaurants that were open all night all day.
In fact, during the Northern Song Dynasty, the same was true for Tokyo Bianliang City, and it was known as the city of never sleep. Although the Song Dynasty was called the weak Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty was the most prosperous and developed era. Even ordinary people, their material abundance was far higher than other dynasties. Unfortunately, this era of advanced civilization was ruthlessly destroyed by the barbaric and backward nations.
Yin Zhiping walked on the Imperial Street, watching the lights on both sides of the street burning and endless pedestrians. Thinking about the destruction of the Southern Song Dynasty decades later and the Battle of Yashan, he sighed in his heart. Although he knew that this world was not a real historical world, he still couldn't bear to see the established demise of the Southern Song Dynasty. It was just by his own efforts, but he didn't know if it could be changed? How many could it be changed?
