Chapter 953 Yangzhou Wangjing Tower
Listening to my aunt's tough arrangement, a group of boys felt relieved. After following two scoundrels for a month, no one was worried. Now that I finally had the chance to get rid of it, how could I not be happy?
But the two little girls stopped doing it and were detained at the beginning of their good journey, so they cried and resisted, and finally ended with Bai Yiru's compromise. They could only move freely in Yangzhou, and no other places were allowed to go far away.
"Third brother, when my aunt just said to hold me off, someone seemed to clap my hands to celebrate? Is this happening?" Bai Wushuang asked the third brother of the Bai family with an embarrassed look. He had been the most fun before.
"Ah? Is there any? How is it possible? You misunderstood, my brothers haven't brought you enough yet, so why would you be willing to leave you? Let's take a walk, my aunt said that the most lively thing in Yangzhou is the Wangjing Tower by the River, let's set off quickly..."
"What did the third brother Hu say? We have just arrived and have not met my uncle yet, how can we go out to play in a panic?" The eldest brother Bai Dingguo scolded.
Everyone laughed, it was obvious that the third brother was just trying to get a breakdown of the topic as soon as possible, otherwise it would be a good thing to be stared at by the younger sister.
Li Chengdao is Li Wanping's eldest brother and his closest uncle to several people, so the Yangzhou Governor's Office can be said to be a place to marry the Bai family.
Yangzhou is also called Jiangdu. During the Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang went to Jiangnan and built a palace here. In the end, Yang Guang died here.
After the Tang Dynasty was rich, Wangjing Tower opened all over the country. It spent a huge amount of money to buy the broken palace built by Yang Guang by the river to build the unique Wangjing Tower in Yangzhou. Therefore, in Yangzhou, the first place is here. Not only literati, poets, rich merchants like to come, but because this place is wide and the flow of people is large, all the people of all religions like to gather here. After all, now the people of the Tang Dynasty are rich, and the restaurants are no longer out of reach.
Only with a huge background like Wangjinglou can we take over Yangzhou, because Wangjinglou is a joint venture between several officials of the imperial court headed by the Bai family, and even the emperor has shares in it. Otherwise, even an abandoned palace in the previous dynasty would not be touched by ordinary people.
"Brother, I didn't expect that the Yangzhou Wangjing Tower is actually better than a small Chang'an Entertainment City. Why haven't my father mentioned it before?" When I came to Wangjing Tower and looked at the prosperity inside, the third brother asked curiously.
"The Tang Dynasty Chang'an is the most prosperous place in the world. We can be familiar with the grand occasion of the entertainment city. I'm afraid that even if my father mentioned it, we would not be interested in remembering it."
As the few chatted, a man who looked like a shopkeeper came out politely.
"Welcome some distinguished guests to Wangjinglou. I don't know which area you are going to. I'd like to send someone to serve you."
"Oh? Shopkeeper, how many famous are there here? We are just a newcomer, so I want to take a look. Can you introduce it to me?" Bai Dingguo asked with a smile.
"Hahahaha, I'm not afraid of laughing at the guests. The shop can be said to be the largest Wangjinglou branch in the Tang Dynasty. There are more than a hundred kinds of names here, but they can be roughly divided into four categories. One is a place where literati and elegant guests write, the other is a place where wine and VIPs taste wine, the third is a place where gambling guests like, and the fourth is a place where martial arts people gather.
Looking at the outfits of some of you, I believe you will like the elegant place here.”
Bai Dingguo looked back at the brothers, and the four of them looked right, then smiled and turned to the person in charge and said, "Haha, the shopkeeper's guess is wrong. We have to go everywhere here, but today we have to go to the casino first. We have not met an opponent for many years to start gambling. You mentioned it just now and it made people feel itchy."
"Okay, the young masters are indeed different from ordinary people. Please, please send someone to lead you here."
He assigned a subordinate to lead a few people to the gambling shop. The shopkeeper immediately put down his affairs and quickly walked towards the backstage of Wangjinglou and found the shopkeeper here.
"What did you say? Several young men came to Yangzhou in person? Are you sure you read it wrong? Why didn't we receive instructions from the general building?" The shopkeeper who was checking the account book exclaimed and stood up.
"When we were training in the main building, we were introduced in detail to the direct descendants of each family. Besides, the four young masters looked too much like the marquis, so how could the subordinates admit their mistakes?" the shopkeeper said affirmatively.
"Immediately send someone to the Prince's Mansion in the city to find out the princess to confirm the matter. Where are the young masters? Since the young masters are here, I will go to serve them in person."
"They took two teenage girls to the casino. The subordinates and subordinates inferred that one of the little girls might be..."
"What? Here, the person comes, send the order to move forward. All security personnel in Wangjinglou will be mobilized. All vacations will be cancelled from this moment. You must not have anything to do today." Obviously, this shopkeeper is not an outsider, and he knows the degree of Lantian Hou's treasure to his daughter.
On the other hand, Bai Dingguo and others also led by the waiter to a luxurious palace-style gambling house. This is a large gambling house converted from a small palace in Wangjing Tower in Yangzhou. It can be said that it is full of everything, including almost all gambling methods, dice, poker, mahjong, paijiu, etc. from all over the Tang Dynasty.
Everyone came to the front of the big gambling market with the largest number of participants. Here is a game of dice gambling size, which is also the most common in the Tang Dynasty. The number of participants can be the most popular, so it is the most lively.
"Second brother, this is the gambling house. I didn't expect that you would be gambling as much as it is so lively? Teach me if it's okay. My mother has never let me get in touch with these things since I was a child." Princess Li Mingda of Jinyang spoke to Bai Anbang.
At this time, the little girl Bai Wushuang also instigated: "Yes, yes, my mother doesn't let me play this. Today I must try this casino that you can't forget."
As he said that, the little girl took out a thick turn of silver notes from her arms, which immediately aroused the exclamation of the people involved in gambling around. Whose group of kids from the family are so generous? They only take hundreds of thousands of taels of silver notes?
"Ahem, little sister, put it away quickly. Is it good that you can easily attract jealousy?" The boss Bai Dingguo hurriedly pushed Bai Wushuang to take back the silver notes.
At this time, the middle-aged dealer who was in the gambling market smiled and said, "The rules of the casino are not allowed to participate in gambling at the age of 18. So little girl, although you are very happy to bet, we can't break the rules and reception here. Come home quickly and get the money."
"Ah? What's the rule? Which bad guy is determined to do? Besides, how do you know that we are not eighteen years old? My brothers have been in and out of the gambling house since childhood, so you'll stop lying to others." Bai Wushuang shouted angrily.
This made the entire gambling house quiet instantly because of this girl's words, because it was not someone else who set the rules, but Bai Fan, the Marquis of Lantian in the Tang Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, no one dared to openly insult the Marquis of Lantian.
