Chapter 229: The Drinking Friend Who Came to the Door
Early this morning, Ji Haotian got up early in the morning and went to Osmanthus Tower.
Yanjing Osmanthus House is a famous wine shop in the whole country.
Known as the once open altar wine, the reputation of ten miles of osmanthus fragrance, the osmanthus wine produced, sold all over the world, highly sought after.
Osmanthus Tower is famous all over the world, and the geographical location is also extremely noble, and it is only ten miles away from the Forbidden Palace.
Osmanthus building is a quaint compound composed of many other courtyards, the red wall outside the courtyard is encircled, the green willows hang around all around, three hanging flower gatehouses, the verandah is copied on all sides, the Yong road in the courtyard is vertically and horizontally linked, the mountain stone and pine are dotted, the plaque of "ten miles of osmanthus" is hung on the five hugging buildings, looking at it from afar, it gives people a sense of grace and luxury.
Walk into the main gate, the gardens on both sides of the road are splendid, all kinds of sculpture dragon pillars are clear and exquisite, the backyard flower stands are overlapped, full of roses, treasures, there is a natural spring that can't help but gush, forming a stream in the courtyard, this river is the osmanthus stream that is necessary for brewing osmanthus wine, on the osmanthus stream, there is a jade cross bridge jumping over, straight to the opposite bank.
"Are we here just to look for the Cicada Wing Knife?" Although Helian Wan'er has been to Kyoto several times, all of them have come because of the sect's chores, and this is the first time she has had a leisure time to play in Kyoto.
Ji Haotian nodded slightly: "Sort of, the person we are looking for is here." ”
"Who is it?"
"White ape. ”
"But that light skill master who ranks first on the list of thieves in the list of rivers and lakes?"
Helian Wan'er really continued: "He has something to do with the theft of the Cicada Wing Knife?"
"Whether it matters or not, find out. ”
Ji Haotian didn't say anything to death, and walked forward slowly.
The main building of Osmanthus Building, with a total of eight floors, within a radius of 20 miles, is second only to the palace in horizontal height, and each floor is divided into 12 rooms.
If you are on the top floor, you can see the very center of Kyoto, and you can see the mountains at a glance.
At this moment, Ji Haotian and Helian Wan'er were sitting on the eighth floor.
The sun is shining and the clouds are fluttering.
The entire imperial capital was shrouded in a golden light.
Looking around, it makes people feel heroic.
"Whoa!"
Ji Haotian lifted the pot between his fingers, the gold bottle was gradually full, and the aroma of wine was overflowing: "The world's fine wine, osmanthus can be ranked among the top three, you should taste it." ”
"My Bixia Palace has a door rule, and disciples are not allowed to drink alcohol. ”
Helian Wan'er was not interested in drinking, and turned her face to the side.
Ji Haotian put a glass of wine into his throat, and he was in a good mood: "Your Bixia Palace is really strange, you say that you are a monk, but you can eat big fish and meat, you say that you abide by the rules, but you don't get a drop of wine, which rule is this, and what kind of precept is this?"
"Our Bixia Palace is a martial arts sect, the people practice martial arts all the year round, relying on vegetarianism alone, it is naturally not enough to maintain physical strength, as for the monks, we just have very strict rules, plus the inner disciples in order to maintain the body of a child, so they cannot be married, and they are misrepresented by the outside world. ”
Helian Wan'er defended, neither angry nor stubble, after all, in the entire Yanjing City, he only knew Ji Haotian alone, and she had gradually become accustomed to the teasing with Ji Haotian from time to time.
"There is wine in life when you have to be drunk, a drop of He has been to Jiuquan, golden bottle of wine, a good imperial city, but there is no drinking friend, it's a pity, it's a pity!"
Ji Haotian shook his head slightly, a touch of boredom flashed in his eyes, he is not a drinker, but this osmanthus wine is indeed fascinating.
"The good fortune in the world is nothing more than a beauty on the side, warm wine in the throat, do you have no drinking friends, or don't look for drinking friends?"
As soon as Ji Haotian's words fell, a female voice came from outside the door.
"Whoa!"
As the bamboo sliding door opened, Fan Ke smiled and walked quickly towards Ji Haotian: "If you want to drink, you don't want to find a drinking friend, but wait for someone to come to the door, isn't it?"
"Why are you here?"
Ji Haotian was slightly surprised when he saw Fan Ke, who had long hair and a shawl, a slender figure, and was full of vigor and enthusiasm.
"Your friend?"
Helian Wan'er saw Fan Ke, who was arrogant and talkative, entered the door and asked with a frown.
"I didn't see it, but you are also a romantic person. ”
Fan Ke heard Helian Wan'er's question, and smiled: "As soon as I entered the house, some people started to be jealous." ”
"You and I have never known each other, I'm afraid this remark is inappropriate, it's so decent, I'll eat your jealousy. ”
Helian Wan'er got up and left while talking: "The room is too stuffy, I'll go outside for a walk." ”
Ji Hao smiled and looked at Fan Ke: "How can you find me?"
"You swaggered through the market in Yanjing, and you didn't hide your identity, is it difficult to find you. ”
Fan Ke smiled and sat opposite Ji Haotian: "It's you, I remember that when I was in Yunzhou, Miss Mu was long and Miss Lin was short, and I only left for a few days, why, there is another person around me?"
Ji Haotian was speechless.
"Forget it, since you don't want to mention it, that's it. ”
Fan Ke poured himself a glass of wine and raised it slightly: "It's you, you arrived in Yanjing, but you didn't contact me first, why, forgot my friend?"
"No, it's just some personal matters that haven't been dealt with yet. ”
Ji Haotian responded bluntly.
Seeing him hesitate, Fan Ke grinned, and said directly: "Don't worry, I won't blame you, it's just that I heard my father say that you came to Yanjing last night, and I sent someone to pay attention to it today. ”
"I didn't expect you to like to drink. ”
Ji Haotian and Fan Ke clinked glasses gently.
"Everyone in the Fan family has joined the army, and the elders and brothers of the family are addicted to alcohol, so I have been drinking since I was a child. ”
Fan Ke paused: "I once told you that I am not happy in the royal family, and I have few friends, so this wine can be regarded as one of my friends." ”
"Why, there have been a lot of people who have been proposing recently?"
Ji Haotian heard the emotion in Fan Ke's tone, and smiled slightly, with a figure of Fan Xunzhang's status, using his daughter's marriage as a bargaining chip, it did not surprise him, the danger of the court is far better than the rivers and lakes, and it is reasonable for Fan Xunzhang to find some people with the same strength to advance and retreat with him.
"Yes, since I returned to Yanjing, the people who came to propose marriage have almost broken the threshold. ”
Fan Ke had a touch of sorrow between his eyebrows, and drank a glass of strong wine again: "Recently, I have been driven crazy by my father, and it is because of this that I rushed to find you when I learned that you arrived in Yanjing, except for you, I don't know who to talk to." ”
"It's okay, if you have any worries in the future, you can find me. ”
Ji Haotian saw Fan Ke's distressed appearance, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, Fan Ke's honest personality was very tempered by him.
"In the last few days, my dad has been asking me to choose a husband, one is twenty years older than me, and the other two are also some anointed children, which is really annoying. ”
While Fan Ke was talking, he was also eating the pastries on the table, his posture was elegant, but he was not deliberate, and occasionally lifted his long hair to eat, which was refreshing and pleasant, and beautiful.
"Actually, if you don't want to get married, you can tell your father directly, and I believe that he will understand you. ”
Ji Haotian comforted.
"You don't understand, my father is straightforward, he has offended a lot of people in the court, but he doesn't have a few friends, this time he returned to Beijing, he has received many impeachments, this time, he really needs to find an ally. ”
After drinking a few glasses of wine, Fan Ke's face turned crimson and looked as bright as a peach and plum.
Fan Ke said this a little sadly, of course Ji Haotian also knew the reason, but he didn't say much about the Fan family's family affairs, just quietly accompanied Fan Ke to drink.
At the same time, they are also waiting for the arrival of the white ape.
