A few people walked in the early winter wind, the shadows of the trees on the side of the road were swaying, and from time to time a few flowers were released and autumn laurels fell into people's eyes. The faint light and shadow of the sun are dappled, casting from the golden cinnamon of the city, bringing warmth and light to this world.

Although the cotton snow came small last night, it was also a little bit to wash away the last traces of autumn, Lin Chaoge breathed deeply the breath of winter, and her heart trembled a little when she was cold, and tightened the wide feather she was wearing outside, even if she was holding the stove in her hand, sure enough, she still hated winter the most.

Isn't it good to sleep at home on such a cold day, what's the use of coming out to appreciate the plum vassal Feng Ya chanting poems for a while, if it weren't for the connections she needs to make in the officialdom in the future, she would like to be overcovered, and sleep in the dark and unconscious.

Because he didn't plan to continue studying in Chang'an Academy, but relied on the shadow of his father, Zhang Ziquan, who randomly arranged a nominal vacant position in the History Department, was thinking about how much gold he would lose in the future, and how long he was distressed.

Today, Xiu Mu deliberately asked Zhu Shengge in advance to help bring the people of the History Department together. Originally, he wanted to ask Lin Chaoge for help, but not to mention that he didn't even dare to approach the door of people's mansions, even in recent days, people have been so busy that their feet don't touch the ground.

If he doesn't dare to block people after he gets off duty, he will be cowardly in his heart, lest he see people who are angry in his heart.

Except for Zhang Ziquan, an idler, everyone else is basically about to be crazy and crazy, okay, sometimes they are so busy that they don't even have time to drink saliva at the end of the day, so that they finally wait until the seventh day to rest, and naturally they want to open up and have fun.

Today's things are happy today, tomorrow's things are sad tomorrow.

The place they chose was one of the largest restaurants in Chang'an, and it was also known for its high prices, and the hotel building was called Pinjin Grotto.

"Boss, bring all the good wine and food, don't take it out if your daughter is red for no more than twenty years." Li Yuan, who was also an official in the history department, said to the shopkeeper who was busy as soon as he entered the restaurant.

There is a bit of wealth and wealth, and those who don't know it may think that he is the host, because even outsiders know that even a glass of ordinary cold boiled water in Chang'an has to cost half a tael of silver, and other delicacies are discussed.

The family has no money, and they all tighten their belts and dare not take half a step.

Although it is said that today is a plum appreciation party held by Zhu Shilang, it is better to say that Zhang Ziquan intends to make friends with his colleagues in the History Department and deliberately put it together.

Today, in addition to Zhang Shangshu, the personnel of the History Department have basically arrived, and there are basically many people present who came to curry favor with Zhang Shangshu with the idea of befriending Zhang Ziquan. Others heard that Lin Chaoge was also here, and the careful thinking that was originally suppressed gradually began to come alive.

Everyone in the history department knows that Zhang Shangshu has followed the line of Lin Chaoge to catch up with the current regent, maybe it will not be a problem to return to a high position, maybe it will be in the next two years. Then the next position of Shangshu either falls to Lin Langzhong or one of the two Zhu Shilang, not to mention that both of them have backgrounds, but one is shameful, and one person is breathtaking.

But nothing could stop them from making friends.

In the Pinjin Cave Restaurant, the third floor of Tianxiang Pavilion is a private room

Accord is not only a 'Ya' word, but also a symbol of the rich to show off their status, only to see the interior decoration is elegant, noble and cold, a complete set of tables and chairs polished from golden silk nan wood, and a complete set of purple clay pots and tea sets.

The white blue and white porcelain is inserted with a few ribbons with dew and double pink water, and the delicate appearance is not pleasing to people, and there is a plate of purple phalaenopsis hanging on the wall, and a picture of the Nine Heavens Xuannu flying to fly. The hollow Phnom Penh round incense burner is scented with a kind of plant fragrance, elegant but not light, fragrant but not strong, the indoor nature is early to burn the incense burner, people enter, take off the thick cloak behind the big coat on the small wooden tripod, their own building entourage to help clean up.

Zhang Ziquan looked at Lin Chaoge and the others unceremoniously followed her to Chang'an's largest gold cave. One of the Tianxiang Pavilions, as soon as I entered the door, I beckoned the shopkeeper to come to a third-floor Accord, and by the way, I ordered a few beautiful singing girls, completely like an uncle who spent a lot of money.

Zhang Ziquan kept breaking out in cold sweat on his forehead, perhaps caused by overheating indoors, and silently pinched the wallet of a somewhat dry lake blue embroidered silver silk oleander. I want to cry without tears, thinking about him now, if he runs away now, is it too late? Or just pretend to faint, which one is less ashamed? But everyone invited them, so it's a big deal to grit your teeth and take credit first, and then run home to get the money.

At this moment, in addition to the banquet of the people from the History Department, Zhang Ziquan also invited Lan Bozhi and Lang Yu, who had recently come to Beijing to do business.

Zhu Shengge knew about the last time Lin Chaoge entered the palace without permission, but he didn't mean to ask more, and asked questions as usual. As soon as the two of them entered the box, they occupied the corner of the place, with light pink shining on the water, Lin Chaoge couldn't control the itching of his palms, and he always wanted to grab so many small buds.

As soon as there are many people, there will be more excitement, not to mention that there are most acquaintances among them, and the three and three began to talk.

"It's been so long, and I don't know the names of a few adults, so let's start with the two adults sitting by the window." Lan Bozhi, who also came to Chang'an to do business, sat by the window, his eagle eyes were slightly narrowed, and his knotted hands were holding a round and lovely purple grape, but his eyes looked at Zhu Shengge and Lin Chaoge, who stood out from the crowd from time to time.

Bo Liang's lips were pulled, and he took the tea in the cup and drank it all, a scene of Chang'an, which was worthy of its name.

Lan Bozhi and Lang Yu were the first time they officially met Lin Langzhong, who was full of Chang'an, and they had only seen it from afar.

Several other people sat at a table, listening to the crisp and melodious singing of the girl behind the beaded curtain and the whistling sound of the pipa, and from time to time drinking the best dragon well in front of them and eating pastries, but their eyes never crossed from beginning to end, each contemplating.

At this time, it was already the afternoon hour, different from the bitter chill of the early morning, the warm noon sun slanted on the people and the dead bark branches, showing a strange look to add a touch of gloom to the winter day, and many pedestrians on the street began to go out and walk.

"Presumably everyone already knows Zhu, and Zhu doesn't introduce himself." Zhu Shengge, who was sitting in the corner, heard Shi Shiran stand up and introduced himself generously; "Brother Lin." Stretched out his hand and touched Lin Chaoge, who had been muffled since he came in.

"What" is obviously from the person who was hit by the legendary sky-high menu after entering the door, just looking at the cheapest fried cabbage on it costs ten taels of silver, and he was so scared that his liver fluttered, Mom! It's so scary, why don't you rob it!!

"I don't know what this lord is called." Rambo spoke impatiently again, and his voice was a little louder than before.

"Under the surname Lin, a single name is a word." Lin Chaoge raised his eyebrows slightly, as if smiling; "I think there should be no one in the crowd who will not know him, maybe even those who have just entered Chang'an have heard the name of the Israeli attendant below, Lin has already introduced it, and then it should be the turn of the other adults."

None of the people present thought that she would introduce herself like this, they were all officials, and they were not fast about anything, but their heads turned very fast.

"Under the surname Li single name a jade".

"Under Ouyang, the word Haoran".

"Zhang Zhao".

"Mu Tianren". As the introductions ended one by one, Lin Chaoge always felt that the eyes of one or two people would always fall on him from time to time. But when she raised her eyes or looked over, the pinprick-like gaze would always disappear subconsciously, and she glanced at the crowd at random, but no one was suspicious, and everyone was suspicious.

Anyway, looking at the two eyes will not be less meat, they can look at it if they want, anyway, the eyes grow on them.

"Li, Bozhi, and Langyu are good sons." As the host, Zhang Ziquan's arm is crying for the money in his wallet at the moment, calling his surname Zhang San and Li Si, bull head and horse face, he just wants a local tyrant to come down from the sky to save him, and then he is particularly wealthy and generous, I will ask for this meal.

So much so that he couldn't help but want to glance at Lin Chaoge, and seemed to think of something to get up and go over.

After a while, the ordered wine and dishes were served one after another, and the orders were basically expensive dishes.

10,000 words coral cabbage, longevity five-spice prawns, wordless salted buffalo meat, Xinjiang red oil shutters, pine lion's mane mushroom, cuttlefish soup, beef tenderloin fried white mushrooms, hanging stove sand board chicken, hemp seed venison skewers, lotus button chicken, desserts are candied pineapple, candied red fruit, golden cake rolls, adzuki bean cake, lotus seed cake, pea yellow and so on?

Zhang Ziquan thought to himself that this group of boys is really yin, they are very expensive, if they don't have a thousand taels of silver after a meal, they can't get out, the meal is invited by themselves, and the bureau invites people by themselves, and even this silver money has to be swallowed by gritting his teeth and mixing blood.

Lin Chaoge sandwiched a piece of the nearest lotus button chicken and put it in the bowl, fat but not greasy, melted in the mouth, with a June lotus fragrance, which made people move, and looked at Zhang Ziquandao, who was squeezed over to sit next to her; "Why don't you eat it?"

"Ah, I'm not hungry." When Zhang Ziquan watched the meat enter other people's mouths, he almost couldn't help but stretch out a pair of / Erkang hands / and shouted to put down the piece of meat, he wanted to return the money, and he didn't know how much white money he would have to eat just by taking one bite.

"Yes, but the taste of this lotus button chicken is really okay, oily but not greasy, with its own lotus fragrance, fragrant in the mouth" When Lin Chaoge picked up the dishes on the table and tasted them one by one, he didn't forget to say its taste, how to do it, Zhang Ziquan, who had been pretending to be a partridge, couldn't help but secretly swallow a big mouthful of saliva, and tightened his small money bag with one hand.
