Chapter 277 Climbing the Star-Picking Tower

Qin Manzhen and Qin Manyin were very familiar with Yanguiju. They took Lin Shuyue straight to Zhaixing Tower and introduced the situation and rules of Zhaixing Tower to her.

There are eighteen floors in the Zhaixing Tower, but the seventeenth and eighteenth floors are not open to the public, and people can only go up to the sixteenth floor at most.

However, the sixteenth floor also has restrictions. It can only accommodate ten people at a time. The number of people who can enter the floors below increases by five.

In addition, there is another rule, that is, people entering the sixteenth floor are not allowed to bring servants, and each person must pay ten taels of silver.

As they were talking, they soon arrived downstairs of the Zhaixing Tower.

"Huh... Fortunately there aren't many people here..."

The three of them looked towards the entrance of the Star Picking Tower.

Only a few young men and women were coming in and out of the entrance. The three young masters of the Qin family were also waiting in the open space next to the entrance. It was their day off today, so they came to join in the fun.

As soon as he saw Qin Manzhen and the other two, Qin Zhiyan waved from afar, signaling them to hurry over.

"Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother!"

The Qin sisters trotted forward, pulling Lin Shuyue along.

"You are too slow. Someone has already gone in." Qin Zhiyan complained casually, and then said excitedly: "Let's go to the 16th floor this time! It would be a pity not to climb to the top of such a rare opportunity!"

Qin Zhizhou nodded slightly: "It doesn't matter to us. It mainly depends on whether Manzhen, Manyin and Ayue can climb to the sixteenth floor."

A Yue was fine, as she knew martial arts, so climbing to the 16th floor should have no problem. The key was Man Zhen and Manyin. They usually traveled in either a carriage or a sedan chair, so climbing to the 16th floor was not an easy task for them.

Upon hearing this, Qin Zhiyan and Qin Zhihe turned their heads and looked at Qin Manzhen and the other two.

When Qin Manyin saw their expressions, she straightened her back and said, "Brother, don't underestimate us. It's only the 16th floor. There's nothing we can't climb."

Qin Manzhen and Lin Shuyue on the side nodded vigorously to indicate that there was no problem.

After making the decision, the group walked towards the entrance.

"Manyin, Manzhen!"

When they heard the voice, several people stopped and looked back. When they saw the person coming, Qin Manyin immediately smiled.

"Sister Peiwan!"

Then a girl with an oval face, willow-shaped eyebrows and fair skin came towards him, followed by two little maids.

Qin Manzhen quietly introduced Lin Shuyue: "Ayue, she is Peiwan, the youngest daughter of Mr. Luo, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. Manyin has a good relationship with her."

Lin Shuyue nodded. It turned out that she was the gentle, beautiful and beautiful Miss Peiwan who had beautiful handwriting as mentioned by Manyin.

"Pei Wan has met the three gentlemen."

Luo Peiwan raised her eyes and quickly glanced at Qin Zhizhou and his two brothers, then bowed gracefully, performing the salute as equals.

Qin Zhizhou nodded slightly and said gently, "Miss Luo, there is no need to be so polite."

"Sister Peiwan, do you want to climb the Zhaixing Tower too?"

Qin Manyin was a little confused. Sister Peiwan was weak and would get out of breath after walking a few steps. Why would she come to Zhaixing Tower?

Luo Peiwan quickly glanced to the right and said softly, "Well, the Zhaixing Tower is rarely open, it would be a pity to miss it."

Qin Manyin agreed very much. Thinking of her body, she urged: "Then Sister Peiwan, come with us. I will support you."

"Are you still going? The 16th floor will be full and we will have to queue." Qin Zhiyan, who was waiting at the door, interrupted them impatiently.

Qin Manyin pulled Luo Peiwan and quickly responded, "Let's go, let's go now."

As soon as you enter, there is a lobby with a staircase on each side, the right one leads upstairs and the left one leads downstairs.

The Qin Zhizhou brothers and their two companions walked up the stairs on the right, followed by Lin Shuyue and the other girls.

The wooden staircase spiraled upwards. The group of people who had just started climbing the stairs were quite relaxed, talking and laughing.

The further they climbed, the more the Qin sisters and Luo Peiwan began to breathe heavily, while Qin Zhizhou, the other two, and Lin Shuyue walked in front with a relaxed look on their faces.

By the time she reached the tenth floor, Luo Peiwan was gasping for air and unable to speak, and her lips began to turn pale.

Qin Manyin, who was supporting her, noticed that something was wrong with her and asked anxiously, "Sister Peiwan, how are you?"

The three Qin Zhizhou brothers, Qin Manzhen and Lin Shuyue who were walking in front turned around and looked when they heard this.

Luo Peiwan leaned on Qin Manyin for a while, then panted and said, "I'm fine, just a little tired."

She looked up at the people in front of her, barely stood up straight, and said, "I've rested. Let's continue climbing."

"Miss Luo, you can rest on the tenth floor. There aren't many people on this floor, and you can see far away."

Qin Zhizhou looked at the open door on the tenth floor, and saw several girls supporting each other going in.

"I…"

Luo Peiwan pursed her lips, and her pale lips had a hint of blood. She whispered, "I want to try again, just in case I can climb up..."

"But your lips are all white, and there is no doctor here. What if..." Qin Manyin paused. She really didn't understand what Luo Peiwan was insisting on.

"Why show off if you can't climb?" Qin Zhiyan was always sharp-tongued and rolled his eyes after he said that.

"Second brother..."

Qin Zhihe pulled his sleeve, and Lin Shuyue beside him remained silent.

The scene was quiet for a while, and Luo Peiwan's eyes were red. She knew that if she insisted on it, she would be disliked, so she pursed her lips and whispered, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have been so stubborn and wasted everyone's time. I just wanted to see the scenery on the 16th floor."

After that, she looked at Qin Manyin again and said with a smile: "Manyin, I'll wait for you to come down on the tenth floor, you guys go quickly."

"Well, Sister Peiwan, let's go now. Please be careful."

After giving instructions, she turned and went up the stairs.

Qin Zhiyan rolled his eyes and pulled Qin Zhihe upstairs. Qin Zhizhou, Qin Manzhen and Lin Shuyue nodded slightly to Luo Peiwan and turned around to follow.

After the few people disappeared around the corner, Luo Peiwan withdrew her unwilling gaze and turned to enter the tenth floor.

The higher they went, the fewer people they met. After a cup of tea, they finally stood at the door of the 16th floor.

There were two men standing at the door. Qin Zhizhou directly handed a silver note of 100 taels to the man on the left and said in a gentle voice, "Six people in total."

The man took the banknote, looked at them expressionlessly, took out a ten-liang ingot of silver from his purse and gave it to Qin Zhizhou, then stepped aside to let them in.

Passing through the bronze gate, several people stared with wide eyes.

The space on the sixteenth floor is not big, it is hexagonal, with six windows, so the light is good, but of course, the wind is a bit strong.

There is a set of tables and chairs under each window, where people can sit down and look into the distance. Three people are already sitting at one of the tables.

"Wow! So high!"

Qin Manyin walked to the window and looked out.

Qin Zhihe was so scared that he grabbed her and glared at her, "Be careful!"

Qin Manzhen was not as brave as her and did not dare to stick her head out. She could only look outside through the window.

"Brother, you can see the imperial palace from here!" Qin Zhiyan excitedly pointed to the solemn and majestic imperial palace in the south.

Qin Zhizhou smiled and nodded: "Yes, it is said that if you stand on the 18th floor, you can see Pingshun Pier."

Standing here overlooking the entire capital city, feeling the wind blowing towards you, it seems as if all the boredom has disappeared, leaving only a heart full of joy.
