Chapter 290: Royal Street, Champion Pavilion
"What is the swarm? Masses? The official didn't react for a while, and was stunned before saying, "You mean the white body?" ”
Xu Zizhen said blankly: "Ah, it's a white body." ”
The official was angry all of a sudden: "Bai Body, what are you calling the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials, teasing me, right?" ”
Xu Zizhen was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Poor master, you misunderstood, why am I here to name me, I just want to ask something." ”
The official also found that he had put an oolong, touched the ingot of silver in his sleeve and said curtly: "Say it earlier...... Ask, what do you want to inquire about? ”
Xu Zizhen leaned forward and lowered his voice: "I want to inquire about someone, the former Lanzhou prefect Wen Chengyan Wen, where is he put in office now?" ”
The official was happy: "I'm the one who has a door, you ask me about the location of the four products of the dynasty, isn't this still teasing me?" ”
"Isn't it like I can't get into this door......
"Then you wait, I'll go in and find someone who knows and ask you."
This official was quite enthusiastic, and he really went in for the sake of the ingot of silver, and after a while, he stepped out again, but his face became very ugly, and as soon as he came over, he stuffed the silver back to Xu Zizhen: "Hurry up, I can't help you with this." ”
Xu Zizhen was surprised, rolled his eyes and stuffed the silver back, added another ingot, and said with a smile: "Whether it can be helped or not, how can there be any reason to return it, you can just keep it...... So, can you tell me why? ”
The official had obviously just been reprimanded, and his face was still a little blue, but after the silver was stuffed back, he finally eased up a little, looked around and whispered: "The Lord Wen you inquired about is probably offended by the master, and he has not let it go since he returned to Beijing, and he has been idle." ”
Xu Zizhen was taken aback: "Then where does he live now?" ”
The official said, "Where do I know where to go?" You'd better hurry up, so that I won't be scolded again. ”
Xu Zizhen had no choice but to leave, he didn't count this result in his calculations, Wen Chengyan Whether he was laissez-faire or idle, he couldn't inquire about his whereabouts at all now, there were millions of people in Bianjing, where to find it?
For a while, he had nothing to do, he had to go back first and then slowly calculate, just returned to the door of the inn and smelled a fragrance, he then remembered that he didn't eat much at noon, in order to rush to Bianjing before dark, lunch just bought a few cakes on the way to fill his hunger, just thinking about things when he didn't feel much, now he settled down and was a little hungry and couldn't stand it.
As soon as Xu Zizhen entered the door, he saw that Ohno and Zhuoya had already packed up and were waiting for him in the lobby, and they were already hungry, especially Ohno, who was afraid that he had been hungry all day.
At this time, Xu Zizhen also figured it out, Lord Wen will not be able to find it for a while, so he will find another way, but the meal should still be eaten, and he finally arrived in Bianjing - others don't feel anything, Xu Zizhen understands too well, in this era, Bianjing can be regarded as the most prosperous city in the world, or I'm sorry for myself.
The inn itself also has food, but the shopkeeper is very enthusiastic to recommend a restaurant for them, not far from here, called Zhuangyuan Pavilion, it is said that it was opened by a certain big man in the previous dynasty, with the status of this big man in the court and the location of the restaurant, the status of Zhuangyuan Pavilion in Bianjing is unshakable, and more importantly, his name is good, ordinary scholars are willing to come to eat a meal as long as they have a few dollars, in order to ask for a mouth.
After the line out of the inn, turn a corner is the royal street of Bianjing City, this is the most lively street of the Great Song Dynasty, there is no one, from the Xuande Gate of the Imperial Palace in the north, through the Zhou Bridge and the Vermilion Bird Gate, directly to the south of the outer city, more than ten miles long, there are two hundred steps wide, the whole street is divided into three parts, the middle is the royal road, that is, the road that the royal travels to walk in peacetime, ordinary people are not allowed to step into, both sides are the ditch that is excavated, planted with lotus, the bank is planted with trees such as peach, plum, pear, apricot and so on, now the spring flowers are blooming, everywhere is purple and red and fragrant and the wind is misty, just walking here is already a kind of enjoyment.
The ditch is called the royal corridor on both sides again, it is the area where the people travel and activities, during which the shops are lined up and bustling and prosperous, the champion pavilion is located in the downtown area, just in the middle of the whole royal street, Xu Zizhen saw the huge signboard from afar, the black background gold character is extraordinary, and he found that the door was already full of traffic before he came closer, and it really deserved to be the first floor of Bianjing, and it was really a city.
There are four floors in the whole Zhuangyuan Pavilion, but the top floor is not open, it is said that it is only opened when the owner invites distinguished guests or the royal family comes, and even the third floor is not ordinary people can enter, and it is necessary to have a certain strength and status of dignitaries and nobles to enter.
Xu Zizhen and the other three people's clothes are not luxurious, but the little two here still have this in their eyes, Xu Zizhen is very lofty, Zhuo Ya's temperament is dusty, and even the entourage of Ohno is also looking forward to Shengwei, and immediately led the three of them into a private room on the street on the second floor, and then served tea and menu, with a warm and respectful attitude, but there is no taste of the shopkeeper bullying customers.
There are many dishes here, full of tricks, but the price is naturally not cheap, Xu Zizhen has not had a chance to spend the money he got from Jingzhao Mansion, so he directly ordered more than a dozen kinds at the moment, and finally asked for a jar of wine.
Xiao Er sang and closed the menu, and it didn't take long for the wine to come, with a small mouth and a round belly, it was the daughter of the authentic Jiangnan red, and as soon as the mud seal was opened, a pure and thick wine fragrance floated out, and I wanted to get drunk.
"Good wine!"
Xu Zizhen immediately praised it, took the wine bowl and poured it, and when he was pouring it, someone next door suddenly sniffed vigorously and also praised: "Good wine!" ”
"Yo, there's someone who knows how to do this." Xu Zizhen laughed, and simply said loudly to the next door, "Good wine is not separated, why don't you come together to be lively?" ”
Soon the door of the private room was pushed open, and there was a young man with a white face standing at the door, with a tall and slender waist, and a heroic spirit between his eyebrows could not be hidden.
The young man was familiar with himself, came in and hugged Xu Zizhen, and said with a smile: "This brother is invited." ”
Xu Zizhen also stood up and said with a smile: "You're welcome, just if you have the ability to smell good wine with your nose, I should invite you to have a few glasses together." ”
"Haha, that little brother is welcome." The young man walked in as he spoke, and first gave Zhuo Ya a serious look, "Sister-in-law is polite, little brother is abrupt!" ”
Xu Zizhen was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, Zhuo Ya was suddenly blushed, and glared at Xu Zizhen angrily, but still got up and saluted back: "Childe is mistaken, I have nothing to do with this guy." ”
This guy? The young man was obviously stunned for a moment, but soon returned to normal, and said with a smile: "It's the younger brother who is reckless, forgive the sins, and the little brother is willing to punish himself!" As soon as he spoke, he tilted his neck, and the wine bowl was at the bottom.
"Those who don't know are not guilty, they don't count." Xu Zizhen also poured a bowl of accompaniment, and said with a smile, "Under Xu Zizhen, what do you call your brother?" ”
The young man smiled and said: "The younger brother's surname is Wu Mingju, and the Yongxing family is born." ”
