Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Gu Chan and the other person followed the waiter and it took them nearly half an hour.

It was during this period of time that Gu Chan finally understood.

The famous Zhaixing Pavilion in South City is a place that combines eating, drinking, playing and having fun. The first floor is a place for watching plays and listening to books, and the main purpose is to enjoy yourself. The second floor is a brothel with many girls, and you can order a girl to play with you at any time.

The third floor is a gambling house, with all kinds of things like dice and Pai Gow; the fourth floor is filled with various snack shops, with the aroma everywhere; the fifth floor has antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and an elegant atmosphere; the sixth floor has private rooms for accommodation, which is generally a place for business negotiations; the seventh floor has magical weapons, all kinds of strange and weird weapons; the eighth floor is full of medicinal herbs, even magical herbs can be seen everywhere.

The ninth floor at the top is where scholars and literati gather to recite poems and exchange ideas on literature.

Gu Chan and the other person were truly amazed by the journey they took.

Before coming here, Gu Chan thought that this place was just a combination of a library and a bar, but after coming here, she realized that she had indeed underestimated this place.

Compared to the Zhongyuan Commercial Bank, which sells goods all over the place, the Zhaixing Tower in Nancheng is obviously more upscale. After all, the items sold here start at at least fifty taels of silver, and there are no cheap small commodities.

After the three of them arrived at the ninth floor, the waiter smiled and said, "My two young masters, this is the place where scholars and literati from the southern part of the city often gather. If you just want to have a meal, you can just stand and join in the fun. If you want to open a table, you will need to pay an additional fifty taels of silver."

"Okay, let's play for a bit first, and you go do your thing!" Gu Chan said, waving her hand.

"Then I'll leave first. If you two young masters need anything, you can always call the waiter on this floor." The waiter said with a smile.

After saying that, he still stood there and didn't move.

Gu Chan wordlessly reached into her sleeve and took out some change to give to him. Only then did he go downstairs with a smile on his face.

Ma Zheng muttered angrily, "This is such a rip-off! Everything costs money, and it's not cheap."

"That's why the waiter at the inn let us in just to have a meal and not to book a table! The fifty taels of silver is just the table fee. There is no food or drink. We have to pay extra money for food and drinks." Gu Chan said.

"Then let's go! We've almost finished shopping anyway." Ma Zheng felt sorry for the money and wanted to pull Gu Chan away.

Gu Chan waved her hand to stop him.

It was because at this time in the hall in front, there were more than twenty scholars reciting poems and composing couplets. There were girls following them, and a group of people standing around watching the fun.

Obviously, these twenty or so scholars are engaging in a literary contest, which is attracting everyone's attention.

Gu Chan became interested and said, "Since we are here, let's go over and join in the fun."

“I don’t understand what they are talking about,” said Ma Zheng.

Gu Chan gave him a five hundred tael silver note and said, "Go to the seventh floor and look around to see if there are any weapons you like. Buy yourself some for self-defense. Now that we are in the south, it is not like the border or Zhongyuan City. You can't always rely on me to protect you. You must first be able to protect yourself."

"Okay! Thank you, boss. I'll go downstairs and take a look." Ma Zheng nodded in agreement.

Then he took the five hundred taels of silver and happily went down to the seventh floor.

Gu Chan walked forward, squeezed into the crowd and started to watch.

Just at this glance, she found that there was a young man in white clothes sitting on a chair with two wooden wheels, waving a white paper fan in his hand, looking like he was strolling in the garden leisurely.

In front of him stood a dozen scholars, all of them with their hands on their chins in deep thought, as if they were stumped.

Gu Chan reached out and touched a man standing next to her, and whispered, "Brother, what are they doing?"

"Why, you just arrived?" the man asked.

Gu Chan nodded quietly.

The man smiled and explained to her, "Just now the young prince gave a couplet to test these scholars, and they were all stumped. The young prince said that whoever can come up with the second line will be rewarded with 1,000 taels of silver."

"Young Prince? Who is he? I just came from another place and don't know him very well!" Gu Chan said puzzledly.

The man pointed at the man in white sitting in a wheelchair and said, "Did you see that? He is Nangong Jin, the eldest son of our Nancheng Nanxianwang family."

"Oh! So he is the little prince of Nancheng!" Gu Chan sighed with relief.

After a long time, she finally understood that the man in white sitting in the wheelchair in front of her was actually the young prince of Nancheng who was going to find a wife in three days.

"Oh! That's not right! This wheelchair... was it invented by him?" Just after figuring out Nangong Jin's identity, Gu Chan suddenly stared at the wheelchair he was sitting on and muttered to herself.

Logically speaking, wheelchairs are a modern invention! How come they existed in ancient times?

Although this wheelchair is made entirely of wood and does not look as sophisticated as modern wheelchairs, it is almost the same as modern wheelchairs. If it was really invented by Nangong Jin, does it mean that this guy also came from a different time?

Thinking of this, Gu Chan asked again, "Brother, what pair did he just play?"

"Listen here! The young prince's couplet is, There are three teachers in one village and two towns, who don't know the Four Books, Five Classics and Six Principles, but they dare to teach seven, eight or nine students. How bold!" said the man.

Gu Chan's body shuddered when he heard this, and his eyes widened in surprise.

Dry!

Isn't this a couplet from Stephen Chow's movie? This kid actually brought back Stephen Chow's couplet.

It seems that she guessed right. This Nangong Jin might really be a time traveler!

Moreover, modern chimpanzees can travel through time, so it doesn’t seem surprising that a man can travel through time as well, right?

Thinking of this, Gu Chan walked up and said, "Young Prince, let me match your first couplet."

"Hey! Whose child is this? Why is he here causing trouble?"

"Yeah! I've never seen this kid before! Could he be a young master from some wealthy family?"

"Looking at his clothes, he should be from out of town."

When Gu Chan stepped forward, everyone around her immediately started talking about her.

No one could believe that a little kid like this could match Nangong Jin's couplet, which had stumped more than a dozen talented scholars.

Immediately, the dozen or so scholars glared at Gu Chan and scolded her.

"Little kid, don't come and make trouble. This is a duel between us scholars. Why are you joining in the fun?"

"That's right! With the little knowledge you have, can you come up with the second line?"

"Stay aside and don't disturb our thoughts."

"Tsk! You've been thinking about it for a long time, scratching your heads and still can't figure it out, and you still have the nerve to blame me!" Gu Chan said disdainfully.

A dozen scholars were instantly enraged by her and were ready to attack her.

"Okay, everyone, stop arguing. I said that anyone can come up with a couplet. Since this little brother wants to try, let him try."

At this time, Nangong Jin waved his hand to stop everyone and spoke with interest.
