Volume 1 The Heart of a Young Man Chapter 25 Penglai Xianju (2)

Penglai Xianju located in Shengye Street, maybe out of Jingshi, no one knows, but if you are in Jingshi City, find a passerby or child at random and ask "Where is the most famous place in the city?" "Don't wait, they will definitely blurt out: Penglai Xianju.

It is strange to say that Penglai Xianju only opened one in the city, but it was able to achieve such success in the huge Beijing Division, perhaps because of the beautiful shopkeeper of Xianju, or because of the ethereal atmosphere of Xianju.

Whatever it is, it doesn't matter anymore, and today's Penglai Xianju has reached a height that other restaurants can't reach.

Standing on the second floor and looking down, the crowd of black pressure was clearly divided into two parts. Those who approached the main entrance of the front hall were mostly people and vendors from the city. Walking through a section, it is the place where the enchanting and colorful dancers perform, on both sides, sitting are those scholars who love to appreciate the dancing postures, and then through a layer of light tulle, are those who like to chant poetry and talk about the wind and clouds. The staircase leading to the second floor is located here.

The T-shaped staircase is quietly placed, and it goes straight up, facing the "Tianzihao" room that receives princes and nobles, princes and princesses, which is also the only way to enter the Tianzihao room. But unlike others, for the safety of these nobles, wooden walls were built on both sides of the Tianzi room to separate them. And the layout of the Son of Heaven room is also the richest in the whole Penglai Xianju, the materials used are the top wood of Jingshi Mahogany Zhai, and the rooms are all high-grade royal products purchased in a special way, and the sandalwood in the room is even more expensive, and the little sandalwood will cost thousands of taels of silver.

Of course, these are all rumors, and only those princes and nobles have seen them. Officials of ordinary status can only entertain themselves in the "Xuanzihao" room on the left. But after all, it is a place for officials to enjoy, although it is not as good as the "Tianzihao" room, but it is also somewhat level, the wood furnishings used are also of high quality, and the environment is much quieter than the "yellow" room on the side.

The "yellow" room in Xianju is the most interesting part of the second floor, and if you want to say why it is interesting, because it is the reception of those famous talents and businessmen with some status. Talented people talk about the psalms of the ancients, and merchants talk about business. According to rumors, the wine poet Tao He's "Qing Bottle" was born here, and the Haoliang Road, known as a commercial miracle, was also born here. Since then, the ten small wings have been lively in the discussion between the talented people and the merchants.

However, Li Xiao, who came to Beijing for the first time, did not see the real appearance of these three places with his own eyes, and now he only has contact with the "local name" room of the princes and princes like Lu Yunlu, which is also the first time he has personally contacted the restaurant in this world. However, thanks to Lu Gongzi, if it weren't for him, with Chen Ziye's status, they would have sat in the "yellow number" room on the side at this time and listened to the talented people next door chanting poetry and businessmen showing off their wealth.

Although the poetry of the talented man and the merchant Jia Xuanfu sound good, Li Xiao still likes the quiet environment now, the three of them chatting casually, and they can tease Chu Chu in the middle, plus the music that comes from time to time, it is a bit leisurely and elegant.

The maid gently walked in with the food and wine, leaned over and put it on the table, and left. Chen Ziye said that Penglai Xianju is a restaurant, its wine is naturally the best, it smells of a strange fragrance, bitter at the beginning of the taste and then sweet, and then aftertaste, like a hundred turns of life, such as a dream. Rao doesn't like to drink, Li Xiao also poured a few glasses.

Some drunk Li Xiao was lying on the window, blowing a cool breeze, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't know what to think.

Chu Chu sat on the side and wiped away the fine sweat oozing from Li Xiao's forehead little by little, complaining about the ill-intentioned persuasion of the other two in his mouth.

Chen Ziye laughed and continued: "This, the name of Penglai Xianju also has a origin. Legend has it that many years ago, the shopkeeper of Xianju got a poem out of nowhere. ”

"He Shi?" Lu Yunlu lay on the table with red cheeks, his voice hoarse.

"I've drunk too much, I'm a little drunk, let me think about it." Chen Ziye got up, held a wine glass in one hand, paced in the room, estimated that he had walked about ten steps, and patted his head, "I remember." ”

"The green path wears flowers, the red mansion presses the water, and Xunfang mistakenly goes to Penglai land. The Yuyan people are Ruizhu immortals, and they meet to show their double moth cui. ”

"Why didn't I know about this, didn't you do it on the spot, Brother Chen?" Lu Gongzi smiled and took a sip of wine.

"You don't care about this, you don't know, besides, how can I have such a literary talent to make this poem." Chen Ziye sat down, poured a glass of wine, and thought sideways for a while, "By the way, isn't the shopkeeper of this immortal residence called Jade Xian'er, isn't it from this poem." And you see that. ”

When Chen Ziye finished reading the poem, he couldn't help but wonder why this poem gave him a strong sense of familiarity...... These are all unknown, and Li Xiao also knows that it is difficult to really uncover the secrets of this world with his own strength, and he doesn't think much about it. Shake your head and try to sober yourself up.

The three of them looked in the direction pointed by Chen Ziye, outside the window was a pool of water, sparkling under the light of the sky, and then looked at the past, it was a turquoise path, naughty I don't know how to lead to a house not far away, there are countless flowers growing on the path, colorful, very beautiful.

"This is the green path through the flowers, and the red mansion presses the water. Xunfang mistakenly went to Penglai Land. Chen Ziye sat down calmly and took a sip of wine, "According to legend, that Jade Xian'er chose Penglai Immortal Residence here because of this. And the mansion is her residence, but she doesn't come here on weekdays, and no one dares to go, so those flowers grow unscrupulously. ”

Chen Ziye's tone seemed to be a little lost, probably because he hadn't seen the legendary Jade Fairy. Chen Dacaizi's troubles Li Xiao can't solve it, and it can be seen from his words that the identity of the jade fairy must not be simple, but it is not something that he, a foreign righteous son, can see, let alone introduce Chen Ziye.

After taking a sip of the sobering tea brought by Chu Chu, Li Xiao sat upright: "The poem that Brother Chen just said sounds like it is incomplete, has it been forgotten or has it not been passed on in the market?" ”

"Brother Li is right, this poem is indeed half missing, but it's not forgotten," Chen Ziye sighed, with guilt on his face, "I'm ashamed, this poem is half missing, and the second half is so little, no one has heard of it, and the talents in the city have also drafted this poem, but they are all unsatisfactory, alas, it should be my Haoguo lack of talent." ”

Lu Yunlu smelled the sobering tea in front of him, it smelled a little unpleasant, it must not be delicious, but when he thought of the brutal and fierce sister at home, he picked it up in disgust, drank it with a grunt, and did not forget to burp after drinking, thinking that the sobering tea he had just brought was surprisingly delicious, licking his lips, it seemed to be the taste of home.

Seeing Chen Ziye sitting on the chair in a decadent manner, and kept chanting those few lines of poetry in his mouth, Li Xiao suddenly felt awe for this middle-aged genius who was unruly and unruly on weekdays, although Chen Ziye was in his thirties, and he was not married, and he often followed Lu Yunlu to the Qinglou Wine Workshop all day long, but when it came to something related to the country's talent, he got serious, thinking about this old Chen, it was not easy, he didn't do poetry for several years, and it was still so difficult to do it.

Li Xiao sighed, thinking about whether to recite this sand treading line to him completely, but quickly dispelled this idea, not to mention that Yan Jidao has more than one sand treading line, the most important thing is that if he recites the poem at this moment, what is Chen Ziye, the poem that others have been thinking about and meditating for so long is actually completed in a moment, not only will it not help Chen Ziye, but it will hit his self-confidence, and today is a three-person party, not a poetry scene, which will do all kinds of harm but no benefit.

After drinking the sobering tea in Chu Chu's hand in one sip and shaking his heavy head, Li Xiao stepped forward and patted Chen Ziye's shoulder, signaling him not to care too much, life is alive, just be happy. However, Chen Ziye didn't notice it, and still muttered to himself. Li Xiao was also helpless, Chen Ziye drank well, and he was not drunk at this time, but he was just stuck in it and couldn't extricate himself.

Li Xiao didn't care about him, picked up the still steaming meal, and listened to Lu Yunlu complain about the dire situation at home without a word. Lu Gongzi is a poor man, although he is the son of the Hou Ye, he has only one sister on him, but his status is extremely low. In this patriarchal era, as the son of the Hou Mansion, he was oppressed by his sister everywhere. The most important thing is that Marquis Lu did not object, but supported it very much, and everything in the family was handed over to Miss Lu to deal with.

Well, I've confirmed the eyes, it's a daughter control.

Lu Yunlu wiped his snot, grabbed Li Xiao's sleeve, and said, "But Sister is also pitiful, Sister Niang left early, and my father was busy with court affairs, Sister Ah has always grown up with me, I remember when I was a child, I was naughty and made trouble, and Sister Ah dealt with it, although every time I would be beaten by the board, but every time afterwards, Sister Ah would personally give me medicine." ”

Lu Yunlu's life experience is similar to his own, and he was also raised by his sister with a handful of and urine, but he is a righteous son and he is a righteous son, which is still different. Moreover, Chu Xin'er is not comparable to his sister.

Thinking about it, Li Xiaoba pulled Lu Yunlu and took a sip of wine, which was a little spicy and a little sweet.

"But it's better to be your sister." Lu Yunlu cried and said, "Look at your sister, how gentle she is, she comes to see her off when she goes far away." Speaking generously, talking elegantly, not like my sister, although she is known as the first talented woman in Beijing, she is completely different at home and outside, well-behaved and gentle to outsiders, to me, it is the same mountain worm, fierce and ruthless. Whoever marries her in the future will be guilty. ”

Li Xiao smiled and listened to Lu Yunlu's complaints, and was about to say a few words of comfort, but who knew that the door was kicked open, clean and neat.

Immediately walked in two young women, among them, the woman in plain clothes walked forward quickly, grabbed Young Master Lu's ear, and her pretty face was angry:

"Who did you just say is the big insect on the mountain, vicious and ruthless!"
