说在战乱之中,浩城这座大都城已经萧条,想起何曾几时,这还是那天下闻名的大都会,客商云集,与皇城之近,北靠戴河,交通往来方便,北方的毛皮,马匹等等许多物资,都是从浩城经转皇城。这里的繁华,大有与皇城一争之势。
而这里的繁华,就如同一夜春梦般,被这无情的战争所淹没。如今剩下的,只有空荡荡的街道,一缕凉风吹过的荒凉。
而在这荒凉之中,却依然存在着这浩城的奢华火苗,那就是翠云台。翠云台,在战事未起之时,便已是浩城之中数一数二的豪门聚地。能到这里消遣的无一不是达官显贵巨富商贾。俗语有云,纵有金山败不垮,千金散尽翠云台,说的就是这里的消费,只要你有钱,不管你多有钱,这里总归能有地方让你花光。
战事之后的翠云台,虽然没有之前的繁花似锦,却依然热闹。因为这个时候,四方军队云集,高职将领一波多过一波。而这翠云台似乎也不惧这战事之危,依然开门迎客,似比战前更为热闹。
而这一天,翠云台客人络绎不绝,三三两两的高官将领来往。平日里还有其它地方可去,现在也只有这翠云台。
小雨过后,路上已经显得有些湿沽,这依然不减众多权势的消费热情。一座三层来高的雄伟建筑,屋檐上琉璃镇镇神兽落在四角,门口珠光宝气。
这翠云台是整个帝国都有的酒楼。听说在被占领的北方地区,这翠云台在巴图帝国的占领下都依然开放。这说的也没错,这样的消费场所,巴图帝国也有众多的高级将领需要地方消遣。据说这翠云台后面的老板的背景之深,就连巴图帝国方面的关系也可以搞定。
“吁!”
一声喝停,一辆马车停在翠云台门口,门口的侍童立即应声而来。
马车上,袁文华将军与他的属下傅小蛙跳下马车。见这时的袁文华少将军一身精心的打扮,身着文金青狮祥云衫,脚踏青云步藕履。而傅小蛙一顶小青帽。身着伴读小书童的灰布便装。站在袁文华少将军旁边好是神气。
见这翠云台门口,比人还大的灯笼高挂,这里的热闹让人一点也见不着战事将近的影子。浩城未破,家业在浩城的富商尚未撤去。结识官家找寻靠山的人皆有之。
夜幕将至。华灯初上。傅小蛙整整头上的小帽儿,深呼一口新鲜空气。望望四周,他也是想不到这浩城还有这么一块喧哗地方。
各种声音不绝与耳。见那主子从马车上来下,小心翼翼地避过路上水洼,生怕脏了他那双挑选了无数次的鞋子。
袁文华没少来这样的场所,处之泰然,珊珊移步向门口走去。门童见那马车豪华,来者也是光鲜,满脸笑迎过来道:“这位公子,您几位?”
袁文华打开折扇,潇洒翩翩地道:“预四五个人的位置罢,给我最好的位子!”
傅小蛙望着下雨天,门口依然红毯辅垫,实在是奢侈之极,让客商满是泥污的鞋子踩上去也不觉心痛。
袁文华满心高兴,今天这事,花再多的钱都不觉心痛,多少也要撑个场面。而且他袁家也是小户人家,掌管整个南方军权的袁家,家中也是不缺钱花。
“实在是抱歉,最好的位子已经被人预定,不如这样,您选地字号的厢阁,这也绝不掉了档次!”
袁文华皱皱眉道:“你是怕我出不起这钱么?”
那门童说是门童,也有二三十岁的年纪,忙着解释道:“不是不是,因为我家翠云台的大东家今日特别到临,所以这天子号的厢阁,自然是留给我们大东家!”
见这门童这样说来,袁文华虽然扫兴,却也不得不应下来:“好罢,地字号就地字号,你们翠云台在南方也开不少家,你们的东西我也知道,东西只管往最好的上!”
“是是!”
