Seeing Qi Liang, the last trace of gloom in Tao Li's heart also dissipated, this was the first time he met Qi Liang, but there was no sense of alienation between the two, like old friends who had known each other for many years,

"Drunk and innocent in the Ping An Building?" Qi Liang pointed his chin in the direction of Ping'an Building and said.

Tao Li drank a lot with his master in the afternoon, and under the supervision of his master, he nibbled on a big bowl of white rice and chestnut roast meat.

"Okay, drunk and innocent, go!" Tao Li replied happily, looking quite interested.

On the street of Guanhua Lane, two figures, one black and one white, walk side by side, one is handsome, the other is handsome, not slow, the breeze blows, the clothes are fluttering, and the aura is full.

Ping'an Building, an old man who is over seventy years old sits on the bluestone steps at the door, surrounded by clouds and mist, and his mouth clicks the cigarette stick in his hand from time to time.

As for why, Zhang Lao is the usher of Ping'an Building, you want to go to Ping'an Building to eat and drink, you can, but you have to Zhang Lao to nod and let you go to which floor you can go, no matter if you are a glamorous General Shangshu or a ragged beggar calling flowers, you must agree to enter with his old man's consent.

Don't underestimate this old man, eight years ago, the general surnamed Niu under the Marquis of Nanping came to the imperial capital on an errand, and General Niu's friend was ready to set up a banquet in Ping'an Building.

The southern Xinjiang Daoshan is far away from the emperor, and General Niu is a subordinate of the Ten Wuhou Nanpinghou, it is inevitable that his eyes are higher than the top, and the bull is angry, and he wants to salute a mediocre old man, and he feels that there is a bit of a price drop, and he is unwilling.

But this General Niu is good, standing in front of the old man, and said condescendingly: "Old man, I heard that there is a rule in your Ping'an Building, which building to guide people to let us go, we can go, this general does not believe in this evil today, you let this general go to Yongzilou, this general will not go, this general will go to Renzilou to see, what can you do?" ”

After speaking, he walked into the building, his friends couldn't stop him, Zhang Lao looked natural, didn't speak, and the cigarette stick in his hand knocked lightly on the bluestone steps a few times. A pig-killing scream suddenly sounded in the Ping'an Building.

Immediately afterwards, with a "bang", there was a wailing figure on the street of Guanhua Lane, and the general was thrown out of the Ping'an Building with one hand and one leg broken.

Zhang Laoba clicked on the cigarette stick, spit out a puff of cigarette, and said unhurriedly: "Come to eat and drink in Ping'an Building, Ping'an Building is welcome, but if you don't follow the rules, don't blame Ping'an Lou for not being close to people, you can think about how to retaliate, Ping'an Lou is next, even if you call Nanping Hou to come, you have to abide by this rule, get out!" ”

General Niu's friend hurriedly apologized to Zhang Lao, and then hurriedly left with the general, thinking that he really fucking suffered, knowing such a fool, he has been in the barren land of southern Xinjiang for a long time, and his brain has also degenerated? Not to mention offending Ping'an Lou, he also suffered a lot, and this time he had to be blacklisted by Ping'an Lou.

A few days later, General Niu returned to Nanjiang Road with his stump body, complained to his boss Nanping Hou, a handful of snot and a handful of tears, and the joy and anger on weekdays were invisible, Nanping Hou, who loved soldiers like a son, was furious after hearing it, picked up the whip and greeted the general, and scolded while smoking: "Usually you are domineering and arrogant." I read that you have military merits and have been under my hands for more than ten years, and I didn't talk about you, what did I say before leaving? There are many people in the imperial capital city that can't be provoked, so you should keep a low profile, what about you? On the first day I went, I stabbed me in such a big basket, I made you make trouble, I let you know what to do, I made you arrogant and unreasonable. I let you cow, I let you cow, what cow are you? ”

In the end, Nanping Hou's hand was also sour, and the whip was almost broken, but he survived thanks to General Niu's hard life, and was later arranged to be a man in the gang's room.

The Marquis of Nanping sent his son to the Imperial Capital Ping'an Building with generous gifts all the way to make amends to Zhang Lao, but Zhang Lao was also generous and did not care about it, and this matter passed like this.

Tao Li and Qi Liang came to the outside of Ping'an Building, he and Zhang Lao were relatively familiar, Qi Liang took the lead in greeting Zhang Lao: "Zhang Lao, long time no see!" ”

Zhang Lao glanced at Qi Liang and scolded with a smile: "I don't want to see you, otherwise there will be fewer teapots in the building." ”

Qi Liang replied with a smile: "Didn't I steal my father's pair of ice jade pots and give them to your old man afterwards, why do you have to mention this matter every time you come back, this makes me embarrassed!" ”

Zhang Lao ignored him and said to Tao Li: "Rare guest, little marquis, are you willing to come to see the old man?" ”

Tao Li saluted Elder Zhang respectfully and said, "Don't you dare to be called so by Elder Zhang, the younger generation just doesn't have time to come because of the affairs of the Ministry of War." ”

Zhang Lao spit out a puff of old cigarette and quipped: "When the old man is old, he is old and confused? Who in the imperial capital doesn't know that the six yamen are the most leisurely, I think you are busy kneeling on the washboard for the little girl of the Sui family, right? Hahaha! ”

These words suddenly made Tao Li blush, and secretly scolded the dead old man in his heart for being indecent.

Seeing Tao Li's embarrassed appearance, Zhang Lao couldn't stop laughing, and said, "Is this blushing? You can't do this, young people have to be thick-skinned, thicker, not thick-skinned, not capable enough! ”

Qi Liang saw Tao Li deflated, thinking that Tao Li still had such a shy and lovely side, the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more intense, but he couldn't bear to be bullied by Old Man Zhang, his first friend, and was ready to help Tao Li find a place, so he said to Zhang Lao: "What Zhang Lao taught is that young people, how to eat without being cheeky, and the younger generations have also been taught, as a thank you, after drinking, how about the younger generation please go to the drunken dream building on the other street to relieve boredom?" Your old man is still sitting on the bluestone steps on this cold day, and his body bones must be very tough, I think the aunt Wang in the drunken dream building is still charming,, I will recommend you when you turn around? ”

"Ahem, cough, cough..."There was a violent cough, Zhang Lao heard Qi Liang's words, he was choked by his own cigarette and coughed, just wanted to be angry, but he thought of something, calmed down his emotions, stared at Qi Liang's emaciated body and said: "Old man, my body must be tough, and it will be no problem to fight three sticks of incense, but your small body can withstand the girl's shaking a few times?" ”

Qi Liang's face did not change, and his heart did not beat: "Let's go to the Drunken Dream Building now, don't we know?" Let's see if you're still young, or if I'm in the prime of life. ”

Tao Li saw that the more the two of them talked, the more out of place they became, and they really had the posture of going to Zuimenglou to compare and compare, so he came out to play a round and said: "Zhang Lao Mo is going to make fun of our juniors again, let's hurry up and arrange a seat for us, and see which floor is suitable for the two of us." The wine worm in my stomach is about to crawl out of my mouth. ”

Zhang Lao restrained his emotions after hearing this, too, he is so old, how can he still be childlike and undignified, but then again, it is rare to see these two of his favorite young people walking together, happy.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Lao sang and whispered to the two little maids behind him, "Take the two guests to Renzilou." ”

As soon as Zhang Lao's words came out, it was already because the time had just passed, and it was the late autumn when every household was reluctant to go out and seemed deserted, at this time, it was suddenly quiet and the needle drop could be heard, and the pedestrians stopped walking in twos and threes, looking at Zhang Lao, wondering if this old man had smoked too much and was confused, Shangren Zilou drank a bowl of innocence, that is the dream of many princes and nobles, is it going to be robbed by two hairy boys today?

Shallow singing and chanting is the maid who follows Zhang Lao to receive the guests, reading countless people, the prince will not see anyone, but he has never said that he has seen someone go up to the ninth floor, even if it is the younger brother of the saint last year, the prince who saw the head and the end of the dragon returned to the imperial capital, but also went up to the eighth floor, at this moment, Rao is recuperating with the knowledge of singing and chanting, and he was also stunned.

Light Sing asked Elder Zhang in an uncertain tone, "Grandpa Zhang, I heard you right, right?" Are you sure to arrange for the two sons to go to Renzilou? ”

After taking a few puffs of old cigarettes, Zhang Lao said with a kind smile and light singing: "Old guy, although I am a little older, but I haven't reached the point where my old eyes are dizzy and my speech is slurred, I heard it right, it is Renzilou, these two you don't know each other, come together, Renzilou, go." ”

After getting Zhang Lao's confirmed answer, he didn't say much, and made a gesture of invitation to Tao Li Qiliang with Qingyin, and said, "Two distinguished guests, please come with me." ”

Tao Li and Qi Liang followed behind the light singing and chanting, all the way to the ninth floor, and when they went upstairs, they looked left and right, and they completely lost that calmness.

The identity background of the two people, the moral character is superior, but they usually sit in the Lian Building, the Zhongzi Building, and they have not been to the third floor, and they can go up tonight, the meaning of which can be imagined, the teenager is still a teenager after all, and he is inevitably excited by this sudden great glory.

In fact, going to the third floor is more of a personal affirmation and recognition, a symbol, and the rest is the same as the rest of the sixth floor, antique, unpretentious.

Knowing the habits of the two, he arranged for the two distinguished guests to be placed by the window, served the wine and food, and retreated to the door to wait.

Qi Liang opened a jar of innocence, patted the altar body after removing the sealing red cloth, sniffed at the mouth of the altar, showed a satisfied expression, poured a large bowl for Tao Li and himself, and looked at the clear and clear wine in the bowl. commented: "It's really a good wine, and it's the most innocent!" ”

Tao Li nodded approvingly and said: "The world is not innocent, fortunately there is innocence." ”

Then he raised the bowl and said to Qi Liang: "If you see a gentleman, you should be a big white." ”

Qi Liang raised the bowl and shook his head, and said with a smile: "Wrong, you have to see your confidant, and you should be a big white." ”

Tao Li smiled heartily and nodded: "It's to see a confidant, and you should be a big white." ”
