Chapter 375: Hebei Boy
Located in the northeast corner of Luoyang City, Lingyun Pavilion is not made of bluestone, but has a wooden frame.
Houses made of bluestone are generally made of yellow mud to glue the wall bricks, and the strength of the yellow mud is too weak to build a house with more than two floors. The slightly taller buildings are all wooden frames like Lingyun Pavilion.
The reason why this Lingyun Pavilion was built with three floors is because it is not an ordinary wine shop. In the hall on the first floor, there are many low tables neatly placed, and some merchants and civilians in the city can go to the first floor to eat some wine and food in their spare time.
Above the second floor, it is the preference of some great Confucian ink artists. The price of alcohol here is two or three times higher than that of the first floor, especially on this floor, there are many young ladies who play the piano and dance, singing and dancing all day long, so lively.
Comparatively speaking, there will be fewer guests on the third floor of Lingyun Pavilion. The three floors are private rooms, and each room has a different number of low tables depending on the size.
In the private room, there are yaoqin, Go and fine wine. There are no dancers to accompany the dancers here, and the guests come here mostly because they know some music and games, and it is an excellent place to meet the friends of the world with elegance.
However, because the pavilion is a wooden frame, the sound insulation is not very good, as long as someone in the adjacent private room speaks louder, you can hear it clearly, not to mention the melodious sound of the yaoqin.
However, this kind of structure also has commendable places, especially the three-story hall of Lingyun Pavilion. Outside the whole circle of private rooms, there is a small main hall.
In the main hall, there is a large chessboard erected, and on both sides of the chessboard, there are two girls holding wooden forks in their hands. Behind each girl, there was a large wooden box, in which were placed many extra-large chess pieces.
Opposite this huge chessboard is a low table and a normal-sized chessboard.
When Liu Wei and the others went upstairs, there were already two people playing chess at the low table with the chessboard, and in addition to the two people who were concentrating on chess, there were many people watching the game around the big chessboard.
When the two of them played chess, the two girls with wooden forks would hang one of the big chess pieces on the corresponding position of the erected chessboard with each of their moves, and explain the number of ways they played.
As for Go and Yaoqin, although Liu Wei likes it, he doesn't know much. If you want him to play chess, don't say that if you meet a master, even if you are a rookie with a third-rate number, you can kill him and lose his armor and lose the whole game.
In the private room on the third floor of Lingyun Pavilion, Liu Wei was standing at the window and looking out. From this window where he stood, he could see the vast mountains outside the city.
The continuous mountains are endless, and as far as the eye can see, they are verdant. The bleak autumn wind did not bring too much depression to the mountain, it is still like summer, the green is thick, and people can't help but yearn for it.
Looking at the mountain, Liu Wei remembered the days when he fled Luoyang with Tang Ji. If it weren't for that mountain, I'm afraid he and Tang Ji would have been captured by the Xiliang Army, and there would be no today's King of Luoyang!
"The Central Plains are so beautiful!" Looking at the mountain in the distance, Liu Wei came from behind him with a slightly immature sigh: "If you can stay in the Central Plains in this life, how good would it be?" ”
Turning his head to look behind him, Liu Wei saw Liu Nu's immature face with endless yearning.
"In the Hetao area, the water and grass are abundant and beautiful, and there are cattle and sheep everywhere." Smiling at Liu Nu, Liu Wei asked her softly, "Could it be that Ju Ci doesn't like it there?" ”
"The water and grass are abundant, and the cattle and sheep are everywhere......" Liu Nu slowly shook his head with a longing for the mountains in the distance, and muttered back to Liu Wei: "In winter, the land is frozen, where is there still abundant water and grass?" The Huns have worked for generations, and in the end they still have to go hungry......"
Liu Wei and Liu Nu stood by the window and whispered, while Guan Qing and Deng Zhan stood behind the two of them, quietly listening to them.
Standing by the window and admiring the mountains in the distance, there was a sudden sound of "dong dong" footsteps on the corridor outside the private room.
"Guest, no!" As soon as Liu Wei and the others heard the hurried footsteps, there was a shout from outside: "That private room already has guests." ”
"What kind of bird guest?" As soon as the cousin's words fell, Liu Wei heard a rough voice outside shouting: "Let them get out of here quickly and give up the private room for my son-in-law." Childe came here to drink and enjoy the scenery in this private room. Do you dare to touch the childe's head? ”
Hearing the words spoken in that rough voice, Liu Wei frowned slightly, glanced at Deng Zhan who was standing behind him, turned around and walked towards the door.
"Don't ......" The two were walking towards the door of the private room, and the hall outside just said no, and then Liu Wei and Deng Zhan heard a loud "bang", as if someone had been thrown to the ground.
"Damn, I said that my son-in-law wants this room, you guy, what do you just have to make noise?" After that loud noise, the rough voice came into Liu Wei's ears again.
Just when Liu Wei was about to walk to the door of the private room, the door was suddenly opened from the outside, and a stocky man like a hill was standing straight at the door, glaring angrily at Liu Wei and the others in the room.
"Hurry up and get out!" The man glared at Liu Wei and the others with a fierce face, and shouted at them viciously: "My son-in-law wants ...... this private room."
Looking at the man's fierce and vicious appearance, Liu Wei felt very unhappy in his heart. However, he did not attack immediately, Luoyang City has always been under the jurisdiction of the army, and those who dare to make trouble in the city will not be too small.
If this kind of person is not suppressed, in the future, there will definitely be wicked people in Luoyang City, and it will not be easy to govern it at that time.
"Who is your son-in-law?" Glancing at the strong man, Liu Wei furrowed his brows slightly, and said to him in a cold voice: "I'll arrive first, why do you want to give up the private room to your son-in-law?" ”
"What are you doing with all this?" The strong man did not answer Liu Wei's question, but glared at him, and said angrily: "If you can't wait, don't blame someone!" ”
When the strong man opened the door of Liu Wei and the others, not far behind him, more than a dozen men who had been following Liu Wei and the others came up from the second floor, and two of them raised their feet and were about to walk towards the strong man, but Liu Wei, who was standing in the room, glanced at the two people and stopped their movements.
The big man who committed Liu Wei and the others didn't know about it, and when he shouted angrily at Liu Bian, there were already more than a dozen people behind him who pressed the hilt of the long sword with their forehands, and when Liu Wei gave an order, someone would cut off his head.
But Liu Wei obviously didn't want to kill this strong man, seeing the strong man's arrogant appearance, Liu Wei smiled slightly and asked him: "Your son-in-law, don't you think you're a native of Luoyang?" ”
Asked by Liu Bian, the strong man was stunned for a moment, blinked his eyes twice, first subconsciously turned his head and glanced at the group of people gathered on the edge of Go, and then seemed to understand something, turned his head violently, glared at Liu Bian, and shouted in a low voice: "My son is from Luoyang, what do you have to do with this?" You just wait to get out of the private room, just make noise here, but do you really want to do something? ”
"Please come and meet your son-in-law." Liu Wei didn't pay attention to the strong man's threat, he smiled slightly, raised his feet and walked to the low table on the side, sat down behind the low table, looked at the strong man standing outside the door, and said nonchaltly: "Although I am not very happy with this private room, I don't like to be coerced, if your son-in-law comes in person, why can't I give up the private room?" ”
"You!" When Liu Wei said this, he obviously didn't take the strong man seriously, and a wave of anger suddenly surged from the strong man's heart, and he glared at him, and he wanted to rush into the house with a stride.
Deng Zhan, who was still standing at the door, saw him step forward, hurriedly stepped forward to block it, and resisted the strong man's chest with his chest, and one hand was already subconsciously pressed on the hilt of the long sword at his waist, blocking the strong man from the door.
The strong man wanted to rush into the house, but was stopped by Deng Zhan. The two of them glared at each other angrily, they were already tense, and they were about to fight.
"Zipei stand down!" Liu Wei picked up the tea on the low table, and before he could reach his mouth, a young man's voice came from outside the private room.
Hearing the young man's voice, the strong man snorted coldly at Deng Zhan, took two steps back, and made way for the young man who walked behind him.
After the strong man retreated, Deng Zhan, who was blocking the door, turned his head to look at Liu Wei, who was sitting behind the low table. Seeing that Liu Wei glanced at him, he also pressed the hilt of his sword and stepped aside.
As soon as Deng Zhan retreated, a boy about seventeen or eighteen years old appeared at the door.
The young man was dressed in a crimson dress, his hair was held in a high bun, and a crown of hair inlaid with huge pearls was covered in the bun, and his whole body was full of nobility.
Luoyang City has recently been renovated, whether it is a scholar or a commoner, they are all linen and deep clothes on weekdays, and there are very few nobles who wear gorgeous clothes to swagger through the city, just looking at this young man's dress, Liu Wei immediately determined that he is not from Luoyang.
The young man has a great figure, and his appearance is also very handsome, standing outside the door, he actually has a bit of the demeanor of a beautiful young man.
"In the Lower Hebei People's Clan, when I first came to the treasure land, my entourage didn't know the severity of the matter, and I offended you!" Standing at the door of the private room, the young man did not enter the room, but bowed down with his fists, bowed deeply to Liu Bian, and said to Liu Bian: "In the next generation, the entourage has made amends to the son!" ”
"Well said!" Sitting behind the low table, Liu Wei didn't get up, but just arched his hand towards the young man and said, "Since Your Excellency likes this private room, I will let Your Excellency ......."
"No! Never! Before Liu Wei finished speaking, the young man hurriedly waved his hand and said to him: "The entourage asked for this private room because I heard it below, and from here you can overlook the mountain, which is quite interesting. If a few people are the first to arrive, they must also be elegant people, how can they win people's love? Inconvenience, farewell! ”
As he spoke, the young man arched his hand towards Liu Wei again, took a step back, turned his head to give a look to the strong man behind him, and led the strong man into a private room next door.
"Hebei people's clan?" After the young man and the strong man left, as soon as Deng Zhan closed the door, Liu Wei pinched his chin with one hand, his brows twisted slightly, and muttered: "Isn't it related to Yuan Shao?" ”
Liu Wei guessed correctly, the young man was Yuan Shao's second son, named Yuan Xi, the word Xianyi, came to Luoyang this time, it was on Yuan Shao's order to come on business.
And it was Han Heng, the general under his command, who was clamoring for Liu Wei and others to give up the private room. This Han Heng is a fierce general, and he is extremely loyal to Yuan Xi, knowing that Yuan Xi wants the private room with a view of the mountain, so he came to make noise without authorization, and almost fought with Deng Zhan.
