Chapter Twenty-Four: Upstairs in Yixian

When Shui Xuanling heard Xiao Hei say this, they all laughed out loud. Ye Xiaoqing led the way at the moment, and the four of them walked more than 100 steps along the stone road of the alley, and arrived at the ground in a blink of an eye.

Liu Shaoyang looked up and saw a three-story restaurant come into view. Green tile carved railing, vermilion lacquer column, sandalwood bucket arch, openwork cornice. A lookout pole is picked out from the high part of the building, and a side wine is hung on it, facing the warm wind from the east, and it is shaking in the air.

Then lined with a few weeping willows beside the road, looking at the green mountains seen everywhere, as well as the clear flowing water of the Pearl River, coming from outside the city, there is the artistic conception of "thousands of miles of warblers crying green and red, and the water village mountain Guo wine flag wind" as the Tang people say. At the head of the main entrance on the stone steps, there is a plaque hanging high, and the book "Yixian Building" is written in three big characters of the pen walking the dragon and snake.

It was afternoon, and there were not many diners upstairs in Yixian, so the four of them went straight up to the third floor and sat at a table in the northeast corner. As Ye Xiaoqing said, looking at Zhoushan in the north and the imperial city in the east. Looking down, the merchants of Beijing are gathered, the houses are side by side, the boats and cars come and go, and the things are densely populated, all of which are in full view.

The shopkeeper invited the four of them to sit down, looked at them, and asked with a smile: "A few guest officers are looking at each other, aren't they from other places?"

Liu Shaoyang responded: "The three of us are from elsewhere, and this girl in a green shirt is a native of Jinling." I think the signboard façade of this restaurant is good, and the famous dishes made must not be bad!"

When the shopkeeper heard this, he smiled and said: "The guests from the state capital outside have come to the foot of the Son of Heaven in the capital, and they have eaten and drunk on this 'Yixian Building', which is really a choice of place! The chef of our restaurant, the dishes made by him, are really authentic and never get tired of eating! It is not a small nonsense, this 'Yixian Building' is not said to be one of the few in the east of Jinling City, that is, it is also famous in the restaurant of the entire Jingshi!"

As he spoke, he handed over the food sticker in his hand, and said respectfully: "Guest officer, the names of the famous dishes in this restaurant are all on it, I don't know what the guest officers want to order?"

Liu Shaoyang stretched out his hand to take it, handed it to Ye Xiaoqing and said, "Miss Ye, you see that the famous dishes of the Beijing division above are delicious, although you order them." You Sister Xuanling and Xiao Hei, I'm afraid you're hungry!"

After a while, the shopkeeper reported the name of the dish and brought the plates of celadon dishes upstairs like a price. Roasted fish, steamed goose, shrimp, crab and shellfish are quite distinctive, and snacks such as tofu waterlogging, honey lotus root, jade buns, and five-color cakes are placed on the table.

Liu Shaoyang saw that it was very good, and rewarded the shopkeeper with some scattered silver taels. The four of them walked on the street all morning, all tired and hungry. Now that the dishes are all on the table, they have spoken a few words to each other, and they all start eating.

Xiao Hei couldn't stop holding up the dishes, and praised while eating: "It's really exquisite, with a full flavor and fragrance! Hehe, Xiao Hei is also an expert in cooking, but I am also very admirable." The craftsmanship of this famous chef is really extraordinary!"

Shui Xuanling was eating, and when he heard this, he quipped: "Yes, the chef here, it is also a blessing for Sansheng to be praised by Xiao Hei, who is your 'No. 1 food in the world'!"

Xiao Hei knew that she was making fun of herself, but she didn't care, and continued: "Eating delicious food, but not drinking, is also a fly in the ointment! Brother Shaoyang, a few months ago in the helm, the wine you owed me will be made up for now!"

Liu Shaoyang couldn't help but smile and said: "Xiao Hei, you forgot about other things in a blink of an eye, and you didn't pay attention to half of it, but you remember this matter so clearly!"

Then he beckoned to the shopkeeper and said, "Guy, bring the good flower carving to the pot here!"

The four of them were eating and chatting, just having fun, and suddenly heard the sound of the stairs below, and a rough voice said with a slight mockery: "Yesterday, the mediocre talents of the Fusi of Beizhen caught some thieves in the Imperial Garden Taoist Temple in the west of the city. After a whole night of noisy and noisy tossing, in the end, even the soldiers in the garrison camp in the capital were alarmed, but they were stunned that half of the thieves were not caught! Early this morning, the commander was furious when he heard this, and directly denounced the incompetence of the subordinate surnamed Jiang.

As soon as the words fell, another hoarse voice sounded: "I heard that the gang of thieves in yesterday was so powerful that even Chu Zhenren couldn't catch it! That surnamed Jiang has a weird yin and yang on weekdays, and his skills are praised to the sky. Although he wasn't on the spot last night, I think even if he was, he was eighty percent white!"

After finishing speaking, another person said in a loud voice: "Our brothers have to say that when we meet the people of Beizhen Fusi, we should be polite, but we have to be polite." Who can make the family more pleasing to the Holy One than us!"

It was the work of these few words, and the person who spoke in a rough and rough tone before had already paced upstairs at this time, "Hmph!" and shouted at a fellow: "You guys! Uncle is done on an errand today, and a few friends come over for a drink, so why don't you find a private room quickly!"

Liu Shaoyang could hear the "thieves" in their mouths, and it was clearly a few of them and the four swords of Yuanshan. Seeing that this group of people had come upstairs, they stopped and looked at it.

I saw that it was a few officers with waist knives and brocade clothes. At first glance, my heart shook slightly. It turned out that the outfits of these people wearing black yarn crowns and Yunjin costumes were very similar to the brocade guards they saw in the Chengxi Dao Palace last night. I already knew it in my heart, and I didn't look at it anymore, and turned my back slightly.

At this time, the voice of the guy in the store laughed: "It turns out that the official master of the Jinyi pro-army commander is here! ”

Then I saw a fellow man, with a smile on his face, leading these four or five men in brocade clothes to the private room on the side.

Ye Xiaoqing, who was beside him, listened to the words of these people, and saw the costumes of a few people again, and his face suddenly became bloodless. Liu Shaoyang looked at her in his eyes and smiled at her, and Ye Xiaoqing reluctantly settled down, lowered his head and continued to eat.

Xiao Hei just buried his head in eating, and didn't hear the words of these people before they went upstairs. Now he heard the shopkeeper laughing, and he was curious, so he stared at it with a pair of dark eyes, and suddenly opened his mouth and shouted: "Hey......! Oops!"

On the other hand, Shui Xuanling saw him speak, for fear that he would cause trouble if he said what happened yesterday. Hurriedly stretched out his hand and twisted his forearm, and scolded in a deep voice: "Xiao Hei! such a table is delicious, you can eat it well, what nonsense!"

Although Xiao Hei didn't finish his words, the brocade-clothed men listened to the sound, but they had already turned their heads. The rough and rough man just walked a few steps and asked Xiao Hei: "You hairy boy, what happened to our brothers' clothes?"

Liu Shaoyang looked at this man, and saw that this person was in his thirties, with a beard, a face full of meat, and an iron tower standing. Although the Yunjin robe on his body was wide, it was as if it was wrapped around him.

Xiao Er, the shopkeeper who served the dishes, had already brought the Huadiao wine at this time, and when he saw the bearded brocade officer standing at the table of Liu Shaoyang and the others, he looked angry for a while, but he didn't dare to come forward to persuade him.

Although Xiao Hei is only sixteen or seventeen years old, he has always been quite bold. Now seeing this man yelling at him, he was not afraid, raised his face and said slowly: "I didn't name names, but how do you know that I am talking about a few of you?"

The man was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then said angrily: "Only a few of me can go upstairs at this time, don't you mean us, who are you talking about?"

Seeing him like this, the brocade-clothed man beside him hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "Big brother, why bother with a child! Let's drink!"

When the tower-like man in brocade heard this, he glared at Xiao Hei angrily, flicked his sleeves, and turned to leave.

Suddenly, the hoarse tone of the place sounded again, and the brocade-clothed officer with white skin and pointed mouth and long cheeks said with a smile: "Big brother! I think this little girl in green clothes is good, why don't you call us to play a few songs?"

It turned out that he saw Ye Xiaoqing holding a pipa in his arms, so he thought it was a singer invited by Liu Shaoyang and a few people to play the song. Seeing that she had a good face and a beautiful face, he blurted out that he wanted her to play music for a few of her people.

The bearded man, who had already turned around to leave, heard this and turned around again. looked at Ye Xiaoqing, who was dressed in a green shirt and skirt and held a pipa, and said: "This girl looks okay, but she is too thin." But it's okay to play the tune, just let it be your 'white face impermanent'!"

When the white-faced and thin-faced brocade-clothed officer heard this, he said to Ye Xiaoqing: "Little girl, our brother is drinking, please come over and play a few songs." If you play well, you will be happy, and the silver will be indispensable to you!"

Ye Xiaoqing was already scared when she saw these brocade-clothed people, but now when she heard this person say this, she was even more frightened and wanted to cry. The white-faced and long-cheeked officer was silent when he saw her, and was about to step forward again.

The brocade-clothed officer with a loud tone just now grabbed him and said in a deep voice: "Since the girl's family is unwilling, it's not easy to force it." ”

When the white-faced man heard him say this, the boss said unhappily: "Our brother is drinking, ask her to play a few songs, what's the matter!

Who knew that Kankan stepped forward, and the white-faced man suddenly felt a pain in his wrist like a drill, and he couldn't help gritting his teeth and shrinking his hand, and a sandalwood chopsticks fell to the floor in response.

Seeing this, the bearded officer next to him glared angrily at Liu Shaoyang and scolded: "Are you impatient with this kid? My brother asked this girl to play a few tunes for me and other brothers, what does it matter to you!"

It turned out that Liu Shaoyang saw that the white-faced man was speechless, and he came over here as if he was going to pull Ye Xiaoqing. I couldn't help but be annoyed, so I flicked up a wooden chopstick on the table and hit him on his outstretched wrist. The white-faced man didn't see this action, but the bearded officer on the side saw it.

This white-faced man was originally a man in the rivers and lakes, and he had a good ability to grab claws with one hand, and later joined the rule of the pro-army Governor's Mansion. And because it looks quite like the rumored impermanence ghost in the underworld, it is known as "white-faced impermanence".

He is much respected on weekdays, but now when he sees that Liu Shaoyang dares to make a move on him, he doesn't think much about the anger in his heart, and with a wave of his palm, he turns his fingers into claws, and grabs Liu Shaoyang's chest!
