Chapter 61 Kyoto (for further reading)
Kyoto.
After Liang Sheng left Jinzhou City, he walked and stopped all the way, watching the mountains and rivers, admiring the beautiful scenery along the way, doing whatever he wanted, and unknowingly arrived in Kyoto in early spring.
In the middle of the road, there are unscrupulous bandits robbing the road, or some bandits who are wanted in three prefectures and five states. Do you count as killing harm for the people?
Looking at the majestic city wall tens of feet high in front of him, Liang Sheng was also a little passionate at the moment.
Under the scorching sun, Liang Sheng could even see dots of light on the city wall, so he could see clearly what it was with his eyesight.
Giant Crossbow.
I'm afraid this is the Great Flame Artifact Suppressing Martial Crossbow recorded in the unofficial history. Under the high-grade martial arts, there is absolutely no possibility of surviving after being hit by the crossbow.
After Liang Sheng was checked at the city gate, he finally stepped through the city gate, and the moment he entered the capital, there was a huge sound.
There is a lot of traffic and a sea of people in front of you. You can't see the end at a glance. The prosperity of Dayan Kyoto has already shown the tip of the iceberg at this moment.
Liang Sheng didn't hesitate, he just chose a direction and walked forward. When he came to Kyoto, he naturally had to take a look around. After that, he might stay in Kyoto for a long time.
I don't know where the clues of Hongchen Fairy will be?
Liang Sheng walked all the way to the center of the city, but within half an hour, he had already met more than a dozen top-rank martial arts masters, and even a master of the Ninth Layer Acquired Heaven.
As expected of Kyoto, there are countless capable people. As he gets closer to the center of the city, the flow of people is getting less and less, and he can see the majestic imperial city in a short while.
He glanced at the imperial city and immediately lowered his head. The king's aura is so strong here that even he, the innate master, feels the pressure inexplicably.
Of course, this is just a feeling in his heart. If he really does it, it will not affect his full strength.
He could even vaguely perceive a faint aura in the imperial city that was not inferior to him. It seemed that there were also innate masters in the imperial city.
Liang Sheng took a deep look at the imperial city at this time, turned around and continued walking in other directions. With his speed, he had a thorough understanding of the entire Kyoto environment before dark.
The layout of Kyoto also coincides with the general situation of Fengshui. The traditional population gathering is no different from Jinzhou City. The north gate is rich, the east gate is expensive, the south gate is poor, and the west gate is cheap.
West of the city and south of the city are naturally not in the scope of Liang Sheng's consideration. He was kicked by a donkey to go to these two places to suffer.
While Dongcheng is mostly a noble and aristocratic family, it attracts attention when he goes there, which does not fit his low-key and steady temperament.
So only the north of the city is left as an option. Rich businessmen gather here, and there are also some noble scholars who cannot afford to live in the east of the city, so they will choose to live here.
After so many years, Liang Sheng's net worth has long been no longer described by the word rich and honor. Thinking of this, he went straight to the north of the city without any hesitation.
The streets in the north of the city are more prosperous, there are endless teahouses and restaurants, and even one or two nine-story brothels have been seen, which makes Liang Sheng more and more satisfied. The north of the city is a good place to live.
Liang Sheng didn't stop there. As long as he has money, he can do things easily. Dayan's dental practice is comparable to the big company that integrated housekeeping and real estate sales in his previous life.
Liang Sheng will not waste time on the minutiae of life. Anyway, as long as the money is in place, the dental clinic will meet all your requirements.
Explain his needs clearly, and after paying the deposit, Liang Sheng will not worry about it anymore, and he is not afraid that the dental firm will break his promise and fool him, not to mention that the dental firm will not smash his own brand with petty profits.
Then Liang Sheng directly found a place for fireworks. Looking at the nine-story brothel, Liang Sheng couldn't help sighing that it was indeed the capital.
Fengchen Court.
Good name.
As soon as Liang Sheng appeared, the procuress immediately ran out to greet him. They had seen too many people of all kinds with their tricks, and when they saw Liang Sheng, they felt that this person was unusual.
Big customer!
Liang Sheng was not polite, he put his arms around the waist of the bustard, and before the other party could speak, he stuffed a banknote into her chest.
The bustard instantly beamed with joy, "Girls, why don't you come out to pick up the guests soon?"
The next morning, when Liang Sheng came out to have morning tea, the person from the dental clinic came to him. Liang Sheng didn't care about it at all. If the other party didn't have this ability, how could he open the dental clinic?
At this moment Yaren looked excited, "Master, you are so lucky, there is a house that meets your requirements, do you want to go and see?"
Liang Sheng wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and said slowly, "Let's go and have a look."
Yahang had already prepared the carriage, and it didn't take long before he arrived at a house in the north of the city. When he got off the carriage, Liang Sheng's eyes lit up.
Before entering the door, a scent of sweet-scented osmanthus came from the courtyard. The courtyard is not big or small. There are not only sweet-scented osmanthus trees in the small courtyard, but also a wooden pavilion with running water flowing under the pavilion.
The front yard is where the servants live, the second yard is the bedroom and study, the back yard is the kitchen and other places, and the third yard is the small house with all internal organs.
Yaxing saw Liang Sheng's expression and knew that the deal was done. Liang Sheng didn't hesitate, and delivered the one hundred thousand taels of silver on the spot, and the house deed was obtained.
Since this is the case, Liang Sheng didn’t bother the two masters. He picked a few loyal and honest servants in the tooth shop, and brought them home.
Then there was money to open the way, and the house was quickly tidied up. Liang Sheng didn't worry about family affairs, and left everything to the manager Lao Wu who signed the death contract.
"Liang's family doesn't have many rules. Ugly words come first. Be obedient and sensible. Don't chew your ears. If anyone eats anything, they will be executed and thrown to a mass grave outside the city."
Old Wu immediately took orders, and then Liang Sheng stopped worrying about these trivial matters, and from today onwards, he has settled down in Kyoto.
Since this is the case, there are three religions and nine streams in Kyoto, and there is a mixture of good and evil. I still have to have an identity, so I can stay quietly in Kyoto, waiting for the opportunity to find out the clues to become a fairy.
This time will definitely be very, very long. Thinking of this, Liang Sheng is going to go to the dental office to see if there is any suitable business for him to take over.
He asked the groom to harness the carriage, and then he sat in the carriage and headed for the tooth shop, but not long after leaving the alley, he opened the curtain of the carriage door to take a casual look at the roadside scenery, but there was a sudden pause.
"Stop."
Liang Sheng got out of the carriage and walked two steps to a bookstore on the corner of the street, with a wooden sign hanging on it.
Above is a shop closing notice:
"I'm nearly sixty now, weak and worrying, but my son won't take over the business, the shop will be closed down, and I will spend my last days in peace.
I have been with the sages and readers for more than thirty years, and I have benefited a lot. I am a mere mortal, and it is a great blessing in life to be able to settle down with books.
The bookstore is getting far away, but the memory will last forever. I hope that the flames will prosper and people will be peaceful. "
Liang Sheng looked at the store at this time, but there was an old man with white beard and hair, who was cleaning the bookshelf and sorting the books.
Liang Sheng walked in after thinking about it. The old man didn't turn around, but he said when he heard the sound: "Guest officer, I'm really sorry, the bookstore has closed, you can go to the next bookstore."
But when he heard that the guest did not leave, but got closer and closer, he turned his head and saw a handsome young man walking towards him.
"Is there anything you can do, sir?"
The old man looked puzzled, Liang Sheng didn't let it go, "Old man, since you want to close the bookstore, I wonder if you can transfer the bookstore to me?"
The old man looked Liang Sheng up and down. At this moment, Liang Sheng wiped his hands and carefully picked up a book next to him.
"I didn't expect my father to have this ten-year picture book of "Xu Ke's Travels". It's really a surprise."
Seeing that Liang Sheng's expression does not seem to be fake, and he can tell at a glance that this is a ten-year picture book, he knows that the other party is also an old bookworm.
"What does the guest officer want this bookstore for?"
Liang Sheng carefully put the book back to its original place, and then replied: "To tell you the truth, I have never been able to do martial arts since I was a child, and I especially love reading. Now I come to Beijing alone, and I happen to see the notice in front of my old man's shop. Go down to this bookstore and chat to comfort yourself."
Liang Sheng was still thinking about how to persuade the old man, but he didn't expect the other party to nod at this moment, "Yes, I'm lucky to meet someone who loves books. I can leave all these books to you."
"ah?"
Surprised, Liang Sheng immediately asked the groom to hurry up and invite the tooth dealer, and the old man's son also came, and soon transferred the contract, and Liang Sheng became the owner of the bookstore.
The old man glanced at the bookstore for the last time, and patted Liang Sheng on the shoulder, "Little friend, I will rely on you here from now on, and I am lucky to be able to hand them over to you before I return home."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Liang Sheng to answer, he seemed to say goodbye to an old friend, turned around and left without turning his head, leaving a thin back, and with the support of his son, got into the carriage, and then disappeared into the crowd.
Liang Sheng didn't understand why the old man transferred the bookstore to him so easily. He looked at the plaque on the bookstore. The name of the bookstore seemed to declare his future life. He couldn't help smiling, and turned to enter the bookstore.
Store name: Jingxinzhai.
The next day, all the merchants in the surrounding area knew that the bookstore had changed owners, so they all came to show their faces, to say hello, and to get acquainted.
Liang Sheng's bookstore has no competitive relationship with the shops next to it. Coupled with his kind nature, he became one with the surrounding merchants within a few days.
A few days later, when Liang Sheng opened the bookstore early in the morning, he saw Lao Zhang from the bun shop next door walking over with a mysterious expression on his face.
"Xiao Liang, there is a good show to watch today."
"What?"
Lao Zhang didn’t answer, but smiled cheaply. Not long after, he saw a team of Jingzhaofu policemen follow the city defense army and barge into the grain shop not far away.
At this time, Lao Zhang said, "Old Xu is afraid that his family will be ruined, Xiao Liang, I think you are an outsider, so I told you, but don't try to climb high branches, the water in this capital is too deep, we will be safe and sound." Have a good time."
After finishing speaking, Lao Zhang took a book without waiting for Liang Sheng to say anything. Hey, business is so good recently that there is not enough paper for wrapping buns.
If it wasn't the case, why would I come here to sell Xiaoliang as a favor instead of selling steamed stuffed buns early in the morning?
Liang Sheng didn't make a sound when he saw this, but looked thoughtfully at the closed grain shop not far away.
Old Xu seems to have said before that he is related to Prince Ping'an by marriage, right? According to what Lao Zhang said, did he fall because of this?
