Chapter 306 The Last Wish of the Unlucky Father and Daughter in Ancient China 6

In the setting sun, the afterglow covers the capital city like a golden veil, and the setting sun in the sky is like blood, dyeing the clouds colorful.

Smoke rises from the streets and alleys, people return home, sounds mix together, shops light oil lamps, peddlers collect their loads, the sound of bells from suburban temples drifts in, night falls, and everything becomes quiet and peaceful.

However, this was just the calm before the excitement. There was no curfew in the capital city, and it was very lively at night. These ancient people had a lot of fun and had a lot of fun. What's more, students from all over the country also came to the capital, making it even more lively.

There is a Star-Picking Tower in the center of Shangjing City. The whole tower has nine floors. It is said that it was built by a prince of the previous dynasty to please his princess. He built a high tower and picked stars with his bare hands to present to his beloved.

Changan thought, it is impossible to pick stars with bare hands. Even in modern hundred-story buildings, no one has ever picked stars. Isn't this just fooling the princess? It didn't stop him from having three wives and four concubines.

Pooh!Scumbag.

The Zhaixing Tower is now run as an ancient version of an internet celebrity check-in spot that combines a restaurant and an inn. It is managed by the descendants of that prince. They did not serve as officials in the court, but lived their own lives in a corner.

"Dad, let's find a place to eat?"

Gu Laoliu weighed Chang'an and said happily: "Come on, Dad will take you to a big meal."

As night falls, the capital city is brightly lit, shop signs sway on the street, lanterns hang high, and people are everywhere, walking in pairs or in groups of three or five, young men and women chatting and laughing.

There were singing girls performing in taverns, jugglers performing, and a wide variety of goods at the night market, making it extremely lively.

Gu Laoliu took Chang'an to the rooftop of Zhaixing Tower. He had already sent Dayi to book the top floor.

After they came up, a waiter followed them and served them. "Hello, young lady, these are the cakes and teas our restaurant has prepared for you. The cakes are soft, sweet and melt in your mouth. The tea is carefully selected precious tea, fresh and sweet. I hope you like it."

Chang'an took a look at the pastries, which was a plate of Ruyi cakes with exquisite shapes. She picked up a small piece and took a small bite. It had a soft and glutinous texture and moderate sweetness, but it was still a little different from what the imperial chefs in the palace made.

She put it down and stopped eating. Her taste for food had been spoiled by the food she ate in her freshman and senior year. She could accept the food prepared by the imperial chefs in the palace because it was really delicious, and the food in Zhaixing Tower was not up to her standard.

The waiter looked at Chang'an nervously and asked apprehensively, "Miss, are the pastries not to your liking? I'll go and change them for you right away."

"No need, it's very good." It is really very good. For other guests, the food at Zhaixinglou is the best among its peers.

Gu Laoliu waved his hand and said calmly: "You can go down. When the food is ready, just bring it in directly. There is no need to come in and ask."

"Yes"

The waiter bowed and left the private room on the top floor. He waited at the stairs in case the guests needed help and couldn't find him.

Chang'an lay on the fence and looked down, overlooking the night view of the capital. There were thousands of lights on, the streets and alleys were as bright as day, and the towering palaces were shining in the moonlight.

The hustle and bustle of traffic, the singing and drinking in the halls, the prosperity of the city comes into view, and the prosperous scenery is displayed before Chang'an.

"Dad, actually on the surface, Linnan Kingdom is quite good. At least the capital city is quite prosperous."

Gu Laoliu leaned lazily against the fence, sitting with one leg bent, his chin supported by his hand, gazing at the stars in the night sky.

He said lazily: "This is thanks to the fact that although the old emperor is a love-brained person, he knows what is important and can be considered a wise ruler."

The prosperity of Linnan is the result of the hard work of three generations of the Tao royal family. In the original plot, it was destroyed by the fourth generation and was annexed by other countries.

While the dishes were being served, seven or eight young men and women rushed in. The leader was a woman dressed richly, with three gold chains around her neck, both hands covered with jade rings of different sizes, and a circle of jade pendants hung neatly around her waist.

Changan and Gu Laoliu: This...why does it feel like you are here to sell products?

Seeing that there were only a father and daughter on the top floor, he said generously: "I'll give you 10,000 taels of silver, and you can let me have the top floor."

Chang'an and Gu Laoliu: Do they look like people who are short of ten thousand taels of silver?

"No, ten thousand taels is too cheap, at least fifty thousand taels." Such a rich fat sheep has come to the door, he must be fleeced.

Bai Xingyang frowned and was a little conflicted, "How about a discount? I'm just out for dinner with a friend, and I only have 10,000 taels of silver on me."

Really? Why does it look a bit like that guy?

The father and daughter looked at each other. Jiang Er?

Gu Laoliu checked Bai Xingyang's past and present lives, but unfortunately, they were not the same person.

It's not a stupid sheep that comes to your door, you can also grab it.

Chang An held his chubby little face and said faintly, "Bone fracture, do you want it?"

"It's okay to be gentle, but don't get disabled, otherwise it will be difficult for you to find a wife."

……

"These things on you look quite valuable. Give them all to me, and then take out another 10,000 taels of silver notes," and then let Dayi exchange them for silver.

Changan scratched his body and asked him to use the decorations to block it.

Bai Xingyang tugged at the jade pendant on his body and said embarrassedly: "These are worthless. If I use this as collateral, you are not allowed to cause me trouble later."

In his opinion, these things are just a pile of broken stones in his house. How can they be as good as real gold and silver? I don’t know why everyone likes them? His friends also like them very much.

He is the third son of the Bai family in the capital, with two older brothers. He is very innocent and protected, and seems a little stupid in Chang'an.

The real gold and silver he liked were all exchanged for what he called broken stones. The Bai family has been in the jade business for generations.

In the Shangjing City full of dignitaries, the Bai family, a mere merchant, managed to break through the siege, causing those dignitaries who thought highly of themselves to look up to the Bai family.

In the end, Mr. Bai San used all the ornaments on his body and 10,000 taels of silver notes to exchange for the right to use the top floor of Zhaixing Tower for one night from Chang'an.

Chang'an weighed the package. These things weighed about five or six kilograms, and his three big gold chains weighed at least two kilograms.

"Don't you feel heavy... running around with these things on?"

"I'm used to wearing it, so I don't feel anything," Bai Xingyang grinned, feeling that he had gotten a great deal.

This made Changan feel guilty, as it seemed quite immoral to pick on a fool.

Bai Xingyang's friends kept pulling him from behind, trying to stop him, but I don't know if Mr. Bai San has low EQ or really low IQ?

He turned around and asked loudly in confusion: "Xiao Ning, why do you keep pulling my clothes?"

Young Master Ning covered his face and said, "Silly boy, those two are obviously trying to cheat you out of your money. It would cost at most two thousand taels to rent the penthouse, and all the jade ornaments you wear are of top-grade jade, their value has long exceeded fifty thousand taels."

He took two steps forward and bowed like a scholar to Gu Laoliu and Chang'an, "My name is Ningchuan, and I'm Xingyang's good friend. I'm relatively, well, simple, kind and generous..."

Damn it, I don’t know how to continue.

Ning Chuan was silent for two breaths, then said bluntly: "Miss, please return Xingyang's belongings and banknotes to him. Please forgive me for any offense I have caused you today. We don't need the top floor anymore. As an apology, I am willing to bear half of the money he spent."

Chang'an looked at Ningchuan twice more. The boy looked ordinary, but he had an extraordinary demeanor and was someone worth making friends with.

She looked past him and towards Bai Xingyang, "What do you think?"
