The capital has indeed been very peaceful in recent years, and Ouyang Shoufu is still in charge of hundreds of civil and military officials, and he is very happy to deal with large and small things in the mansion every day. The emperor also stayed in the harem, and occasionally came out to deal with it, and no one knew what he was thinking.

However, the capital has been too dull in recent years. People always feel like something is missing. It also coincided with the peaceful era, where there were no large-scale battles to fight and no major events to talk about. This has led to a lack of conversation among the common people after dinner.

As a result, the business of the Beijing restaurant has also been much bleaker. In the past, whenever the sun sets, the afterglow of the sun shines all over the earth. The restaurants of all sizes in the capital were crowded with guests, discussing whether Tianzilou had attracted a girl from the Western Regions, or which family's son-in-law had been beaten again.

In short, the former Beijing restaurant was very lively.

But what does it matter, so that people will not miss things that have nothing to do with their own interests.

At most, only the restaurant shopkeeper misses that era.

The most famous in the capital is a pavilion with two floors: one of them is, of course, the Emperor's Seven Treasures Pavilion. And the other two floors, one of which is the Tianzi Building, please go here for fun and night singing. The second is Jingxuan Building, chatting and chanting poetry, please enter this door.

In the past few years, the business of Jingxuan Building can be described as extremely bleak, and there are still many literati who are against poetry, but without those ordinary people who talk about the world, it seems that the building is a little cold.

The reason why Jingxuan Tower is so famous in the capital is that it has a large pattern.

From the outside, the restaurant is spherical and surrounding. There is a lake surrounded by the building, it is the meditation lake given by the first emperor, the lake surface is calm as a mirror all the year round, even if it is windy and rainy, it is not necessarily how many ripples in the lake water turn over. It is said that a Taoist priest meditated in the middle of this lake and then enlightened one night and entered the realm of heaven and man.

After that night, the lake was named the Lake of Meditation: the mind is as quiet as water before enlightenment.

Jingxuan Building is divided into five floors, the first floor is the largest, mostly for four-person tables, and all the tables on the side are two-person tables, and most of them are ordinary people's gathering places. The environment on the second floor is much more elegant, mostly for the box, the box can accommodate more than ten people, most of them are the places where the literati and ink writers chant poetry, the third and fourth floors are the guest rooms, and the fifth floor is even more unusual, a total of three rooms, respectively named heaven, earth, and people. It is said that since the establishment of the restaurant, almost no one has gone up to the fifth floor.

In the center of the first floor, there is a single table, which is particularly eye-catching.

There was a fan on the table, a ruler, and a pot of drunken dream wine.

The shopkeeper of the restaurant said, as long as you have a story in your belly, a good poem, and a secret to know. You can stand at the table, take two sips of the drunken dream wine in the pot on the table, wait for your face to be slightly ruddy, slowly take the ruler on the table, and then drop it heavily.

"Smack!" When the eyes of the whole restaurant are focused on you, you can slowly say what you want to say.

Today's Jingxuan Building is particularly lively, maybe it hasn't been so lively for a long time.

Ji Xiaoer in the store was very busy, so he took a few taels of drunken dream wine for the poets in the box, and there was a few plates of roast chicken with his hands free.

But after being idle for a long time, Xiao Er also feels quite fulfilled at the moment.

Yes, no one wants to live in a mess, and the day ends up in their leisure days.

Everyone has their own ambitions, and Xiao Er's ambition is, of course, to open a restaurant of his own, not to seek the scale of Jingxuan Building. But I hope to go back to my southwest hometown to open a tavern, earn one or two taels of silver every day, mix for a few years, beg for a watery wife, and have a white and fat boy. It's a good day, too.

"I miss Zhiqiu a little, spring goes to autumn and comes again, pinching my fingers and calculating, and I have been gone for three years. After Xiao Er finally rested, he looked at the Jingxin Lake and couldn't help but remember the young man who had talked to him about his ideals in Jingxuan Tower.

He recalled that on that winter night, a young man had drunk bowl after bowl in Jingxuan Tower, saying one sentence after another.

Xiao Er doesn't remember much about what the boy said, but he only knows that there was a teenager who talked about his ideals all night.

He also said that he was the only one who did not laugh at his ideals.

But the boy drank a lot, and fell asleep while drinking.

Ji Xiaoer saw that he was asleep, and it was so cold, he couldn't bear to drive him back, so he simply went to his room and got a few thick clothes for him to put on.

From that night on, the young man often came to the restaurant, and would bring a few pots of his own special wine and drink it with him.

The young man's name was Ouyang Zhiqiu, and one night three years ago he said that he probably wouldn't come back for a long time.

----------------------------------------------------------

Of course, Ouyang Zhiqiu wouldn't know that there was still a junior in the capital who remembered him.

After he missed Miss Yun, he turned around and went into the bookstore and began to practice calligraphy. Although the old shopkeeper is not there, I don't know why, he doesn't practice writing for a day now, and his heart is still a little uncomfortable.

When it was time to eat, Zhiqiu saw that the eldest lady had not come back yet, so he was a little curious, not because of her whereabouts, but because the eldest lady did not come back, how could there be food? Zhiqiu didn't know how to cook, but he didn't have money to buy vegetables, but this eldest lady bought a lot of vegetables at one time, so she put them in the small kitchen in the backyard of the bookstore.

When Zhiqiu saw that there were still vegetables in the small kitchen, the young man sighed, he knew that the eldest lady definitely didn't go out to buy vegetables. But where else could she go? This girl doesn't usually like to go out, and it looks like she's just jumped out.

Could it be that there is a favorite teenager outside?

I really feel sad for that young man, and I am liked by Yan Yu'an, I am afraid that I will not be beaten less.

Yan Yu'an walked down the street and sneezed inexplicably. She wondered how she could suddenly sneeze when the sun was so good, the wind was not strong, and the weather was not cold. She didn't pay much attention to it, and continued to walk down the street.

It's just that because of this sneeze, she never jumped again.

Yan Yu'an wanted to buy some wine, she heard that the wine in Fengxuanlou was good, although it was a little expensive, but no matter what, she was in a good mood today, so she still chose Fengxuanlou, so it should be regarded as a reward for that person.

But this distance is really far, and when she walked to the door of Fengxuan Tower, Yan Yu'an looked up at the sky, estimating that it was not early, and she didn't know if this little Zhiqiu was hungry, so she thought that she still had to buy wine faster.

Yan Yu'an saw that the door was wide open, and she stepped in, it was the time to eat, so there were a lot of people inside, and the sound was noisy, she saw that the restaurant was so busy, and it was estimated that she would have to wait for a while to buy wine, and sighed.

But fortunately, a very young young boy caught a glimpse of her at the door of the restaurant, and hurriedly greeted her with a smile on his face, asking if he was here for dinner.

Yan Yu'an shook his head and said that he was here to buy some wine.

The young Xiao Er smiled and said, "The girl is selling wine to her sweetheart, right? ”

Yan Yu'an subconsciously shook his head quickly, and said loudly: "How can I buy wine for my father?"

Xiao Er smiled and didn't continue, he asked, "What kind of wine do you want?"

The eldest lady glanced at the decoration here, and felt that it was indeed quite prosperous, but she lowered her head and whispered, "Do you have any expensive wine here, how much silver?"

Xiao Er saw that the girl in front of him looked a little lovely, and couldn't help but tease her: "Of course there is expensive wine, but it costs dozens of taels of silver, do you want it?"

After Yan Yu'an heard this, her face blushed rarely, she held the corner of her skirt tightly, thought for a few seconds, and said, "Then this wine... How long can you drink it?"

Seeing this, Xiao Er laughed, and hurriedly hugged his fist at Yan Yu'an and said, "Okay girl, I won't tease you anymore, and said that you didn't buy wine for your sweetheart, no matter how much you buy wine, you can blush." This wine is not so expensive, cheap wine can buy a large pot of dozens of dollars and hundreds of dollars, and the best wine is only about one or two silver, and this special wine... Sometimes money can't buy it. As the saying goes: three cups lead to the avenue, and one bucket is natural. This special wine is naturally incomparable, and we have it in the restaurant, but the proprietress definitely does not sell it. ”

Xiao Er deliberately stopped after speaking, and continued: "But speaking of special wine, there used to be a friend in my hometown who liked to drink, and he also went to the restaurant to drink, but he brought wine from home, and it was not enough to drink alone, and he had to pull Xiao Er in the store to drink together, where did this Xiao Er see this posture at the beginning? Why did this strange guest still pull himself to drink special wine? At first, Xiao Er refused to drink, saying that it was too wasteful to drink, but over time, after Xiao Er and my friend got acquainted, they also began to drink. ”

"But it's not strange for you to say, as a friend, he didn't even invite me to drink special wine, but why did he invite Xiao Er to accompany him to drink? Could it be that I am not as good as Xiao Er?"

Yan Yu'an heard that in the clouds, she wondered if the person in front of her was also a junior, how could she still look down on another junior?

But she didn't say anything, just thinking that this wine is not expensive, why can't this little Zhiqiu always afford to buy wine, where did he go with his money? Even if he uses it all to buy sugar gourds, this money is a lot.

It can't be that this stupid boy used to use the money to buy jewelry for that dark green girl, right?

As soon as Yan Yu'an thought of this, she gritted her teeth, and originally wanted to turn around and leave, but when she thought that she had gone so far with great difficulty, it would be wasted if she didn't buy it.

She paused, but still asked Xiao Er to take two pots of rainy season wine, the name has the word rain, and she is happy to see it.

After the eldest lady got the wine, she carried a pot in each hand. She thought that it was indeed late, and she was too embarrassed to walk back slowly, so she trotted all the way.

Who told this little Zhiqiu to buy her a string of beads? Buy him two jugs of wine and make him happy.

Miss Ben must not let anyone suffer.

Zhiqiu was in the courtyard of the bookstore at the moment, lying on a chair, feeling that he was going to faint from hunger, and he was really tired when he was typing word puzzles with the old Taoist priest in the afternoon.

He looked forward to the stars and the moon, but he still couldn't look forward to the figure of the eldest lady. He thought in his heart that he hadn't seen the eldest lady for a long time, and the appearance of this girl was still quite missable.

It's just that he's a little taller, his temper is a little stinky, and the rest... Seems to be okay?

Zhiqiu lay on the chair and fell asleep after a while.

There was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, maybe he was dreaming, but he didn't know who was in the dream.
