Chapter 53 - Xiaoyingzhou outside the Golden Gate
After leaving Gushan, Xu Yan and his side entered Hangzhou City from Yongkin Gate.
There is a story about the Yongjin Gate. According to legend, during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, King Qian Yuanjin of Wu Yue brought the water of West Lake into the city, dug out the Yongjin Pool, and built the city gate. Legend has it that it is the place where the Taurus emerged in the West Lake, so it was named.
As a must-see route to visit from Hangzhou City to West Lake, Yongkin Gate is extremely prosperous.
Yong Kinmen not only has a dry gate, but also a water gate.
There are many restaurants and shops inside and outside the city, with cruise ships coming and going, and cargo ships coming and going, and the docks are bustling, which reminds Xu Yan of Zhang Zeduan's "Along the River During the Qingming Festival".
Xu Yan was very excited and chanted casually: "Long houses connect the clear waves to see the water and sky; tall buildings connect the downtown areas to the fireworks."
After hearing this, Xu Wei said silently: "Long houses connect the clear waves to see the water and sky; tall buildings and bustling cities are surrounded by fireworks... The young master casually said that he was a peerless sentence. It would be a pity not to be the poetic saint of this dynasty."
Xu Yan smiled and said, "It's just a love. By the way, Brother Wen, what do you think of opening a bookstore in this Yongkinen Gate?"
Xu Wei's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"Xu also had this intention. He rushed to Xiaoyingzhou outside the Kinmen, and the cold food was even more romantic. The red boats sang and sang in the lake, and there were tall buildings outside the flowers.
The sun is warm, the smoke floats, and the wandering is free. Three thousand pinks, twelve railings, and a cloud head."
After Xu Wei finished reciting, he said leisurely: "A place of such a beautiful place should have some literary and ink atmosphere."
Xu Yan nodded and said, "Since that's the case, let's go and see if there is a suitable shop."
The Yong Kinmen is extremely prosperous and there are many shops, so naturally the Teeth is indispensable.
Xu Yan found a "Jin Hanyaxing" and saw that he was doing a house business and walked in.
Xu Wei and Shuangxi followed closely behind.
The shopkeeper of the tooth shop was a thin man in his forties, with a thigh of goatee beard on his jaw, which looked extremely smart.
Seeing Xu Yan's dress of a rich young man, he came forward with a smile.
"This young man, please come in quickly, Lingzi, come in quickly."
Xu Yan looked around and found that the shop was not big, and the limited space was basically filled with various cabinets.
The old shopkeeper saw that Xu Yan was very curious and thought to himself that he should be a playboy, and he had already made up his mind to kill him.
"Is the young master here to buy the birth?"
He said this very particular.
The so-called sayings to people and talking to ghosts. Just Xu Yan's silk shirt and the jade pendant tied around his waist are enough to buy a house. Such a noble young man would not come to rent a house.
If he really talks about renting a house, Xu Yan will definitely leave. Isn’t this a slap in the face?
"Since that's the case, I wonder if the young master wants to buy another business or shop?"
"I want it all."
Xu Yan said domineeringly.
The old shopkeeper was already full of joy. Oh, this is really a business that doesn’t come to the door, and it’s a couple when you come to the door.
He hasn't opened today yet, and he didn't expect that opening would be a big order.
He swallowed and squirted, and smiled and said, "Young Master is such a wonderful person. Since that's the case, why don't we take a look at other karma first?"
Xu Yan nodded and let the old shopkeeper introduce him.
"Since it's a different business, the young master must buy it around West Lake. The places suitable for living in the north of West Lake are nothing more than Yulian Pavilion and Xiling Bridge. But there are too many temples, Zhaoqing Temple, Big Buddha Head, Zhiguo Temple, and Agate Temple are all gathered there, which is probably going to disturb the quietness of the young master. The west side is quiet, but there is less fireworks from the West Lake. The middle road of West Lake is good, Qinlou, Zishiju, and Shijintang are beautiful scenery and excellent environment. Are you interested?"
The old shopkeeper tried his best to sell it because this house is the most profitable, and countless rich young men bought other businesses here.
Unexpectedly, Xu Yan refused directly: "Forget this generation, it's too close to Gushan."
He thought to himself that he had finally bought a condom and had a peaceful life. Then he bought it with Mr. Qian. Isn’t this causing trouble for himself?
The old shopkeeper complained in his heart, this young master had many requests.
But he didn't want to miss such a god of wealth, so he had to continue to flip through the house bill.
After looking for a long time, he suddenly saw a suitable house and couldn't help but be ecstatic: "At this, there is a house at the foot of Santai Mountain, west of Yanggong Dike, not only quiet but also very close to West Lake. The young master didn't know that this inner West Lake has a unique charm compared to the outer lake. Moreover, this inner West Lake is connected to the outer West Lake. There is a small pier not far from this house. The young master can sail and travel with beauty. When he is tired of playing, the young master can also recite poems under the moon and slam the piano in front of the window. Fortunately, it is even more pleasant. Isn't it beautiful!"
The old shopkeeper was talking about it, and the spitting star was almost spraying on Xu Yan's face.
Xu Yan frowned and said, "What are you saying so well?"
Seeing this, the old shopkeeper quickly patted his chest and said, "Jin Hanyaxing never boasted, the house he introduced was real. If the young master is interested, the old man can take the young master to see the house now."
Xu Yan was really moved.
According to the old shopkeeper, this other business should be located on the south side of Santai Mountain, about the location of Santai Dream Trace. Later generations Xu Yan once visited that place, which was indeed a first-class retreat, and many local people in Hangzhou rarely go to visit.
The most important thing is that it is very close to West Lake, and it belongs to the kind of existence that brings tranquility in the midst of noise.
"I have time to go and have a look at this house later. However, Yanggong Dike is too far away from here, so you should introduce the shop first. It is not too late to go and see the shop after we have seen it."
Xu Yan doesn't want to go back and forth and go around the wrong way, so it's better to adhere to the principle of getting close to the bookstore first.
The old shopkeeper quickly responded: "Young Master is very saying. I wonder which shop you want to buy?"
Xu Yan said lightly: "It's good to be around the Golden Gate."
The old shopkeeper nodded and said, "How big is the shop you want, and what is the purpose?"
"Selling books."
"The young master is indeed a elegant man."
The old shopkeeper quickly looked through the booklet and quickly picked a shop.
"This shop is located on the north side of Hanyun Street, with a huge front door and a large yard. Since the young master wants to open a bookstore, printing books is definitely necessary. A shop with a yard is just right."
Xu Yan said in his heart that he is indeed a professional profession. This old shopkeeper was able to find a shop that meets the requirements in such a short time based on the needs of the customers. There are indeed some things.
"Since that's the case, let's take us to have a look."
The old shopkeeper also saw that Xu Yan had the final say among the three of them, and immediately smiled and said, "This shop is very close, so let's go."
After saying that, the old shopkeeper took the key and walked in front. Xu Yan and others followed closely behind.
As he said, the shop was very close to the Tooth Walk, only about a hundred steps.
When he arrived in front of the door, Xu Yan glanced at the first impression, so he turned to Xu Wei and said, "What do you think, Brother Wen?"
"The direction is good, this generation is also prosperous, it is a good shop."
Xu Wei, who had been silent, finally spoke.
