Chapter 529

"What's this for?" asked the fire phoenix.

"This is their rule. Ordinary people can't go there. They must have some knowledge." Bai Ningyuan explained, "so the ship that comes to pick up people will use a question to test it."

"There are still such people. What if people without knowledge come?" Qiao Zhu asked.

"If they have no knowledge, they will not be admitted," Bai Ningyuan said.

"Everyone, please correct the couplet." the man smiled and said when Bai Ningyuan finished explaining.

"Are pine leaves and bamboo leaves green? The second couplet, then the sound of autumn and the sound of wild geese are cold." Du Xiaoli replied without thinking.

"Pine leaves and bamboo leaves are green, autumn sounds and wild geese are cold..." the visitor even said it again, and then praised: "young master, good literary talent."

"Did we pass this?" asked the fire phoenix.

"Yes, sir. How many?"

"Eight," said Bai Ningyuan.

"Then this boat is just right, everybody get on the boat." the man said, and their boat slowly approached, next to their boat.

Du Xiaoli and others got on board one after another, leaving the boatman on board.

The boat took them to the attic. Before they got close, they heard the sound of silk and bamboo, and occasionally cheers.

"Xuanyu building. At first glance, the name is a more emotional place." Shuiqing fairy looked at the door plaque and said.

"I think it's all the same," said the fire phoenix.

"This is very different from those poem buildings in front of us," said the man who received them with a smile.

"What's different?" asked Shuiqing fairy.

The man smiled and said, "is this your first time to come to the Liuli river? There are two of the four talented women in the south of the Yangtze River in our Xuanyu building, as well as the challenge arena of the first childe in the south of the Yangtze River. You can find opponents here, and you can set up your own challenge arena as long as you like."

"Aren't you a romantic place?" Qiao Zhu asked.

"Hahaha, I said we're not an ordinary romantic place. Here we are, everyone."

Du Xiaoli got up from the boat and went up one after another when the boat was close to the attic.

"Gentlemen, please come inside." a woman with the same appearance as the man saluted Du Xiaoli in front of the building. Then he took them in.

Unlike the dark outside, the attic is brightly lit like day.

Du Xiaoli looked around and found that the decoration here was mainly elegant, surrounded by huge murals, making them feel like they were in a dreamy environment.

There is a stage in the middle of the hall. It must be where singing, dancing and challenge arena are held.

The whole attic has only three floors. The first and second floors are divided into open seats. There are only two or three rooms on the third floor. It seems that people here should be prepared to have no private rooms.

But in places like this, most people don't want private rooms when they come. After all, they can see more clearly where there is no barrier.

"Gentlemen, your seats are right here." the woman took them to the middle of the first floor and said.

Although it is still early, there are quite a lot of people here. Many of them are together with others, which will not be boring and save space.

After they sat down, Du Xiaoli took Bai Ningyuan and asked, "are people here willing to fight with others?"

"There are also some people who don't want to. Those people go upstairs." Bai Ningyuan said, "but since most of the people who come here are willing to follow the arrangement here. Moreover, ordinary literati and poets also like to sit with others and spell. Look at the table on our right, they are spelling poetry."

Du Xiaoli looked at them and found that there were four people sitting at the table. One of them took turns to work out a theme, then said the first poem, and the remaining three went on in turn.

"This is also a common way to spell poetry here." Bai Ningyuan explained that he was surprised to see everyone.

At this time, a maid came and asked, "do you want any snacks?"

"What do you have here?" asked the fire phoenix.

"Here is a list. You can have a look." the maid showed the fire phoenix a booklet in her hand.

Fire phoenix ordered several snacks, and then we ordered some fruit wine. Du Xiaoli was stunned when he saw the price of fruit wine.

"Master, the fruit wine here is more expensive than we sell." Qiao Zhu said after the maid left, "our wine is not so expensive. A pot here costs thirty Liang silver!"

"You see, that's the most expensive wine, and most people won't order it," Bai Ningyuan said. "Moreover, because your winery sells very little wine, it's normal to sell expensive outside. Don't you think other fruit wines are not so expensive?"

"I said, junior brother, do you often come here, so you are very familiar with it?" asked the fire phoenix.

"I don't come often, but I'm familiar with the boss here," Bai Ningyuan said. "People like you also have friends?" Du Xiaoli wanted to hurt Bai Ningyuan when he saw his appearance. "Of course I have friends! Hum, I not only have, but also a lot!" Bai Ningyuan protested against Du Xiaoli's words. "I thought everyone would choose to stay away from you," said Shuiqing fairy. "Although the younger martial brother has a strange personality and a bad temper, he will be poisoned when he has an attack. He is still very good at other times." huofenghuang coaxed with everyone. "Why do you all unite to talk about me?" Bai Ning was far from happy. "There are only two men here, you and Beifeng. The others are women. Women naturally want to be on the same front." Du Xiaoli said. "You can also talk about this guy." Bai Ningyuan put his hand on Beifeng's shoulder and wanted to pull him together. "Elder martial brother Bei is not as serious as you," said the fire phoenix. "What activities are there this evening?" asked Si Qin. "There are fighting poems, songs and dances. I don't know the details," Bai Ningyuan said. The waitress who happened to serve snacks came over. When she heard what they said, she smiled and said, "at the beginning of tonight, there will be a song and dance performance, then there will be fighting poetry and couplets, and then there will be a challenge competition. Childe, your snacks and fruit wine are all ready. Please take your time." Du Xiaoli played by themselves for a while, and then came some people, most of whom went to the private rooms on the second and third floors. It was estimated that at seven o'clock in the evening of the previous life, all the lights in the whole hall went out, and then the music in the whole hall stopped.
