Film and TV: Starting from the marriage with Zhao Linger

"Bring it with you, otherwise we'll cause chaos on the streets!"

Li Shouxi took out two extremely exquisite masks, both half of which were made of gold and decorated with kingfisher feathers. One was of a majestic and solemn general, and the other was of a charming and gorgeous fox.

Li Shouxi personally put on the fox mask for Zhao Linger. The delicacy and gentleness of the mask made Zhao Linger's heart beat wildly.

At the same time, I also touched the mask on my face with surprise, I liked it very much!

That is a woman's pursuit of beauty.

"Mei Jian, you guys should go take a walk too. It's rare to have such free time when you stay in the palace every day."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Mei Jian also knew that Li Shouxi didn't want him and others to disturb their honeymoon.

Moreover, they really rarely have free time to go out, so they happily went shopping at the lantern feast in the evening and bought their favorite accessories and lanterns.

Chapter 84: Glazed Lotus Platform Luxurious Fan Tower

"Husband, look at this floral decoration, it's so beautiful!"

"Exquisite craftsmanship? Husband, what is the answer to this riddle?"

"What a sweet fruit! Aren't these red fruits hawthorns? Why are they so sweet?"

"What a beautiful flower, you can even hold it in your hand!"

···

Wherever you go, wherever you see, wherever you eat...

Zhao Linger had never imagined that Fengtian City would be so lively at night.

Holding Li Shouxi's hand, they shuttled through the crowd, taking a look at any novelty. Although no one recognized Li Shouxi and Zhao Linger's identities, the gold and kingfisher-inlaid mask was not something that ordinary wealthy people could use, which was why Li Shouxi used a special mask.

He knew that there might be a lot of people here tonight, and if he didn't get any special treatment, he would definitely be squeezed in the crowd.

But it’s different with this golden mask. At least most people won’t want to cause trouble when they see it, and will automatically make way, which can save a lot of trouble.

"Fanlou? Isn't this the restaurant opened by Sister Yan?"

Suddenly, Zhao Linger saw a five-story pavilion with bright lights, at least fourteen or fifteen feet high. Compared with the other three- or four-story high-end restaurants around it, this Fanlou was not just one story higher than the other restaurants, but at least five or six stories higher.

Moreover, the lights in Fan Tower were like a dazzling pearl, extremely bright.

This is the spermaceti oil that Yan Shisan Niang bought from the prefectural government at a high price. The nominal price is one thousand taels of gold per cubic meter, and one tael of gold per liter.

Yan Shisanniang directly took out 30,000 taels of gold and bought 30 cubic meters of sperm oil to everyone's shock.

The price of sperm oil is more than ten times higher than other oils on the market.

After all, ordinary animal fats, even the best quality ones, only cost five cents of silver per pound, and only wealthy people could afford them.

Ordinary people are reluctant to use animal oil when cooking.

But fortunately, it is worth the money. In a top-notch luxury place like Fanlou, luxury is what you want.

Compared with the brighter candle flames of ordinary oils, spermaceti oil has the advantages of no residue and no odor, so it does not conflict with other spices. This is why Yan Shisan Niang bought it at such a high price.

When she was on the ship, she knew the value of spermaceti oil.

Although the price is dozens of times higher than ordinary oils, it is nothing to Fan Lou.

Fanlou is the paradise on earth of later generations. Ordinary people cannot afford it at all, but those who can come here to spend money will not care about this little money.

Therefore, within a short time after Fanlou opened, it has already gained great fame. To spend a night here, the starting price is at least ten taels.

"Let's go and have a look!"

The people of the Tang Dynasty were open-minded and, compared to other dynasties, did not mind women going to places like Fanlou.

If it were any other dynasty, entering Fanlou would be enough reason to divorce one’s wife.

Entering the red gate of Fanlou, the eunuchs on both sides bowed hurriedly.

The mask decorated with gold and kingfisher feathers indicated that this person was at least a royal noble. However, there was only one family of high-ranking nobles in Fengtian City - the Palace of Prince Yan, or the family of Prefect Wang!

This is also the common sense they must learn before working in Fanlou.

Even when facing those seemingly poor guests in plain clothes, you should not be rude.

Unlike the dogs who look down on people as portrayed in some movies and TV dramas, they open their doors to do business, not to invite disaster.

"so beautiful!"

As soon as she entered Fan Tower, Zhao Linger was attracted by the magnificent hall with carved beams and painted buildings.

In the middle of the hall is a colorful glazed lotus platform with a diameter of three meters. The colorful light under the lights makes it seem as if you are in a fairyland. Surrounding the lotus platform is a lotus pond with a width of seven feet and flowing water. The lotus flowers in the pond are blooming and the koi are drunk. It is a beautiful sight!

The surrounding three-story pavilion corridors allow one to overlook the lotus platform, providing the best visual vantage point.

Even Zhao Linger didn't expect that a restaurant could be decorated so luxuriously.

"Husband, didn't Sister Yan spend a lot of money on the decorations here?"

"The price of ordering this lotus platform, which is three meters in diameter, at the prefectural governor's mansion is one hundred thousand taels of gold.

Plus, the surrounding decorations are all top-notch luxury goods from Jiangnan, including the red sandalwood pavilion, Suzhou embroidery silk, Yangzhou official kiln porcelain...even spermaceti bought with 30,000 taels of gold. This Fanlou is worth more than 300,000 taels of gold!"

hiss hiss hiss...

The one who was shocked was not Zhao Linger, who had no idea about money, but the wealthy guests around who were listening.

When they saw the gold mask inlaid with kingfisher feathers, and Zhao Linger's transcendent temperament of holiness and charm under the fox mask, they knew that Li Shouxi and Zhao Linger's origins were not simple.

But I didn’t expect that the first thing I heard was the horrific cost of Fanlou.

Just a lotus platform costs one hundred thousand gold?

If anyone else said this, people might not believe it, but the noble who vaguely guessed Li Shouxi's identity understood that the value of this lotus platform was absolutely true.

Not to mention other things, just such a huge colorful colored glaze is unprecedented, not to mention that it is a custom-made one!

Compared with those small colored glasses on the market, they are completely not on the same level!

"It's Ling'er, I thought I heard it wrong when I heard your voice just now!"

First there was a magnetic, charming and attractive voice, like a baby's voice, but full of charm.

Then, a peerless beauty dressed in a Tang Dynasty palace dress with rust-gold long skirt, towering cloud-like hair, emerald jade and gold hairpins slowly walked out of the tent. The skin on her neck, as white as jade and with a dazzling fluorescent glow under the bright red skirt, instantly blinded many pairs of eyes.

Her charming and stunning appearance and slender and graceful figure made countless gentry and wealthy businessmen crazy about her.

As soon as the woman appeared, the beautiful and charming Silla maids around everyone seemed to have lost their color against the backdrop of the blooming peony flowers.

"The Thirteen Great Families!"

Amid the crowd's enthusiastic pursuit, Yan Shisan Niang walked towards Li Shouxi and Zhao Linger with graceful steps and a swaying figure.

Especially seeing that the two of them were wearing masks, Yan Shisan Niang also knew that they did not want to reveal their identities.

Even though many people have guessed Li Shouxi's identity!

"Master Li, it's a rare opportunity for Sister Ling'er to visit Fanlou. There happens to be a Huxuan dance performance tonight. Master Li, please come and show us your presence."

"Hu Xuan Dance? I haven't seen it for a long time."

Li Shouxi nodded, while Zhao Linger was curious about what Hu Xuan dance was?

After Li Shouxi's explanation, Zhao Linger became even more curious about the ethnic minority dance from the desert Xizhou.

What's more, the performer was a blonde, blue-eyed beauty from the Western Regions, which made Zhao Linger even more curious.

Chapter 85: The Eight-foot-tall Girl Atoya

"Your Majesty, how many of these frozen grapes are left? The amount we have at Fanlou is not enough!"

The box in the three-story Zhuge Pavilion faces the lotus platform and is also the most expensive box in Fanlou.

Yan Shisanniang, who was chatting with Zhaozhen at the beginning, suddenly put forward her request to Li Shouxi.

The ice wine at this time is unique to the Prince of Yan's Mansion and is provided by the Dongxia tribe.

The Dongxia tribe occupies the area around Tianchi Lake, which has the best feng shui in Taibai Mountain, at an altitude of more than 3,000 feet. The ice wine it produces is not only the first of its kind, but also the best.

After all, it is a Feng Shui treasure land that can give birth to a Kunlun fetus!

“Ice wine?

This king can grant Fanlou 500 barrels per year, which is already one-fifth of the annual output. If Fanlou could not enhance the cultural identity of Fengtian City, this king would not approve this share.

But again, this wine can only be sold in Fengtian City and cannot be sold anywhere else."

"Mrs. Yan Shisan thanks His Majesty for your help!"

Yan Shisan Niang didn't expect that Li Shouxi would approve the ice wine quota so easily and generously.

“Even if it’s a good thing that benefits Fengtian City, this king will not refuse it.

Although Fanlou is an elegant place, it is also the favorite leisure place for the nobles. At this time, Fengtian City is not short of resources, but it lacks how to attract talents or top chambers of commerce to settle in Liaodong. "

After saying this, Li Shouxi suddenly thought of something, took out a sachet from his waist, handed it to Yan Shisan Niang and said:

“Although the incense in Fanlou is good, it is not the best.

The incense in this sachet is a specially made incense for the gods. I will grant a limited amount to Fanlou in the future to entertain the top guests."

"Does your Majesty really mean this?"

Yan Shisan Niang was, after all, the most famous courtesan in Jiangnan Fanlou. It could be said that even the best spices in Jiangnan were not taken seriously by her.

Because she is born with a rich body fragrance.

But as soon as Li Shouxi took out the sachet, she could not help but feel excited by the faint fragrance, as if she were taking some forbidden drugs, but not at all intoxicating.

This spice that surpassed the finest grade even shocked Yan Shisan Niang.

How many good things are there in Prince Yan’s Mansion!

“When has this king ever joked?

The main reason is that the decoration of Fanlou is good, and the specially trained maids of Silla can attract the nobles and wealthy to come and spend money. "

Suddenly Li Shouxi looked down and saw that the colorful glazed lotus platform was covered by countless bright red and tender petals.

The fallen petals are colorful and dancing in the wind!

While everyone was confused, the flying petals suddenly condensed into a flower ball, full of mystery and weirdness.

Bang!

Suddenly the flowers exploded, and countless petals with strange fragrance filled the entire hall.

A tall and graceful beauty with a beautiful figure appeared in the air where the flowers were originally suspended. She was wearing a charming and enchanting belly-exposing dress, and her long, straight, white legs attracted everyone's attention.

But the most surprising thing is her bright and flying golden hair like a waterfall, her sharp facial features like a knife, and her eyes as bright as amethyst...

Everything about her is perfect to the extreme, and she is a peerless beauty with full aggressiveness.

"She's really blonde and has blue (purple) eyes!"

Zhao Linger looked at the foreign girl who was slowly landing on the ground like a flying goddess, her pretty face full of surprise and curiosity.

Yan Shisanniang glanced at Li Shouxi with her beautiful eyes. This was a beauty trap she had carefully prepared for Li Shouxi.

For ordinary women, seven feet is already extremely tall, and it is even difficult for them to get married.

But Atoya is an astonishing eight feet tall, like a celestial being, and she is a unique existence in the Western Regions.

Therefore, even though Atoya was stunningly beautiful, few nobles were attracted by her.

Because Atoya is too tall!

Eight feet?

Only those skilled warriors from the Western Regions are suitable for Atoya!

Therefore, the moment she saw Atoya, Yan Shisanniang immediately thought of the nine-foot-tall Li Shouxi.

Originally, her beauty trap was for the quota of ice wine, but she didn't expect that before she took out Atoya, Li Shouxi not only approved her quota, but also took out more elegant incense, which was the real treasure!

At this moment, she was a little hesitant, wondering whether to continue the beauty trap.

After all, she has a good relationship with Zhao Linger.
