The north wind blows, the winter cold is still pressing, between breaths, white smoke, and the appearance of silver in front of you, everything around you makes people feel as if they have entered a fairyland.

The beginning of the year has passed, but the festive atmosphere in the city has not passed, whether it is a restaurant, a teahouse or a house, the streets are surrounded by a red color.

Walking on the snow-swept streets, Liu Xi looked at the appearance of the people enjoying themselves, and felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment in his heart.

Everything here is his Liu Xi's.

The pedestrians on the street all knew the young little marquis and Lin Yi and others beside him, and when they passed by, they all stepped forward to salute.

Naturally, Liu Xi smiled and nodded in return as before.

Just like the situation where acquaintances meet by chance on the street, although such scenes have appeared many times, they are different because Liu Xi has the identity of the marquis, and every time it will make the hearts of the people surging.

"Xanadu, probably the same."

Looking at both the vendors and the pedestrians, there was a faint smile on their faces, and the horse embroidery waving the Qiankun fan whispered.

Liu Xi took a deep breath, it seemed that the cold cold air had become extremely fragrant, and after being slightly intoxicated, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "If it weren't for everyone's concerted efforts, how could there be a situation where the people live and work in peace and contentment today, so you are indispensable." ”

Shaking the wine gourd in his hand, he was smacking his mouth, Lin Yi, who was distressed because he didn't have any wine to drink, heard this, and his eyes immediately lit up, "Since you have merit, Yusheng can't invite everyone to have a good meal." ”

As soon as the words came out, Ma Xiu and the accompanying Qu Lang and others all laughed and echoed one after another, like a long-term worker who had seized the opportunity to eat Liu Xi, a stingy host.

As soon as he stepped into a restaurant he frequented, the little guy who was wiping the table immediately threw the rag to his shoulder, strode forward to greet him, and said with a smile, "I have been looking forward to it, and I finally looked forward to the Hou Ye and a few adults, but the private room upstairs has been left for a long time." ”

As he spoke, the shopkeeper wearing indigo patterns and yellow flowers also rushed over from the back kitchen, and a sincere smile filled his gradually blessed face, "Ah, yes, little marquis, you are here." ”

After that, the shopkeeper flicked his sleeves and instructed the little guy next to him, "Quick, quickly lead the marquis and the adults to the private room." ”

"Order!"

The little guy who ran the hall responded very happily, and then made a gesture of please, "Master Hou, my lords, please come with the villain." ”

Liu Xi smiled, and nodded in response to those who greeted him, and when he turned around, he saw the appearance of several people behind him, especially Lin Yi, whose eyes were pitiful, and they were all lonely and helpless little lady's manners and manners.

Liu Xi couldn't help but sigh at this move, knowing what they were thinking, he pinched the tip of his nose, stopped in front of the vermilion handrail of the wooden ladder, and said to the shopkeeper who was in a hurry to arrange dishes in the back kitchen, "Shopkeeper Tong, I have to trouble you to send someone to find that Xiaoquan to get the altar wine." ”

As soon as Liu Xi's words fell, Lin Yi behind him couldn't wait to speak, "No, the shopkeeper is two altars, and if you want to say it to that Xiaoquan as 'first dew', it must be 'first dew'!" ”

Lin Yi leaned his head nervously, perhaps because he was afraid that the shopkeeper would not remember, so he stretched out his hand to make a gesture of two, and repeated the 'first appearance' again.

After continuous exploration, there are several kinds of Mantang Chun, among which 'First Dew' is the best, just because the brewed water is the dew of Mengxia, so the output is less, but it has also achieved the name of 'First Dew' as the most famous of 'Full Hall Spring'.

"Haha, Brother Mengjue, you are really ripping off, these two altars of 'first exposure' are worth a thousand gold."

Ma Xiu was obviously quite excited, shaking the fan, and lowered his voice again, "Last time the Tang Emperor asked Yusheng to pay tribute, he only gave 'Ning Xue' at most, and you are the 'first dew' of the two altars at this time, I am afraid that Yusheng will be distressed." ”

Hearing this, Liu Xi was very cooperative and made a look of covering his chest full of pain, "In this way, there is a thousand ......taels of gold missing in vain."

Lin Yi, who was climbing the stairs, licked his lips, as if he had drunk the elixir that he had been thinking about for a long time, but later looked at Liu Xi with resentment in his eyes, "You still don't blame yourself, if you don't give me this 'first dew', how can I not think about it, this wine enters the throat violently, but it is fragrant between the teeth, even if you are drunk, you wake up the next day without getting drunk and uncomfortable, the aroma between the mouth and tongue has not gone for a long time, it really should only be in the sky, and this Xiaoquan can't let me drink it to my heart's content, thinking of this, it is really annoying." ”

Lin Yi said a very complaintful voice, like a resentful woman who had suffered for a long time and suddenly got a chance to be judged, and she said it all at once. After that, he looked back at Ma Xiu and Xiao Wu, wanting to find an expression of approval on their faces.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Wu shrugged his shoulders and said softly, "It's not Yusheng who is distressed about money, but Shuang'er's little lady; It wasn't Zhang Xiaoquan who didn't let you drink to your heart's content, but Lu Rui'er, who couldn't be moved by anyone in your family. ”

"Wonderful, Brother Xiaowu is really as wise as a torch!"

Ma Xiu slammed the shaking Qiankun fan together, and squeezed his eyebrows with Lin Yi, "The sage once had clouds, but women and villains are difficult to raise, go back this time, Brother Mengjue, you have to be careful." ”

Ma Xiu's words made Lin Yi, who was about to laugh out loud, suddenly change his face, perhaps because he remembered Wu Shuang'er's strength of being a fan of wealth, or maybe he remembered Lu Rui'er, who was originally gentle as water, roared like a beast and a wild fowl in his own house, only to feel that his throat was dry and tight, and his mood for drinking was greatly weakened, he scratched his head and asked timidly, "Or, let's go home?" It just so happens that my master's tea leaves are finished, so I'm going to buy some for him? ”

This move naturally made the rest of the people laugh, and Ma Xiu couldn't stand up with a smile, but fortunately he entered the private room, otherwise this appearance would definitely frighten the diners who were eating in the hall.

Grabbing Lin Yi's sleeve, Liu Xi, who was smiling, pressed him to the redwood chair with embroidered cotton pads, "Brother Mengjue, what if you just drink a drink with confidence, and leave other things behind." ”

"Yes, yes, you dream brother, you are also a dissolute person, there is wine today and drunk today, why do you care about the affairs of the Ming Dynasty."

Ma Xiu, who was still canceling just now, licked his face and took the initiative to pour a cup of hot tea for Lin Yi, "Let's have a hearty drink today, and get drunk." ”

This time, Lin Yi's fear dissipated, and he took a sip of tea from his cup, but he felt that the lightly fragrant tea was not as fragrant as the wine, so he put it down again.

Suddenly, Lin Yi frowned, remembered something again, and hurriedly said to Xiao Wudao, who was sitting opposite, "Brother Xiao Wu, you heard what you said just now, I refused to drink at first, if they ask about the crime when I go back, you have to help me testify!" ”

It turned out that Lin Yi was still worried about going back, and an unruly heir to a famous family had lingering feelings for the two little girls, and immediately made Liu Xi and the three laugh again.

Of course, all this was just before the wine came, when the two full altars were 'first revealed' when the guys in the restaurant carefully moved in, Lin Yi's eyes lit up like a hungry tiger pounced, and he suddenly stepped forward to hug one of the jars, patted open the mud, and the intoxicating aroma erupted like a torrent, filling the entire room.

"It's really refreshing."

Lin Yi took a deep breath, and with an intoxicated look on his face, it seemed that the whole person had fallen into this wine jar.

On the side, Liu Xi and the three of them were also salivated by the aroma of this wine, and they couldn't help but admire Zhang Xiaoquan a little more.

"Brother Mengjue, what are you doing with a jar, such a beautiful wine, you should drink three bowls first, hurry, fill it for everyone first."

Ma Xiu indiscriminately put Qiankun fan on his waist, and quickly put the four glass wine cups on the table, and the monkey's anxious appearance was no worse than Lin Yi before.

The aroma of wine overflowed, and a ray of sunlight pierced through the window lattice, reflecting in the glass cup, crystal clear.

"I'll drink it, you feel free!"

Lin Yi, who couldn't wait, immediately drank a bowl of wine in a big gulp, and sighed deeply, looking satisfied.

Liu Xi and the three of them looked at each other and smiled, each holding up a lamp, enjoying the aroma between their mouths, and a long warm current in their throats extended to their abdomen.

It's quite refreshing.

Cuisine is still in the future, and wine has risen.

At such a moment, Liu Xi has not seen him for a long time, and he is entangled in many things, and he no longer remembers the last time he drank with these people close to him.

It seems to be the time when the fish was cooked by the river, but how can that time have the heartiness of today?

I don't know how many rounds of wine have passed, and there is not much left of the dishes, Lin Yi's pale face has a bewitching flush, as if he has touched rouge gouache, while Ma Xiu is pulling Xiao Wu who is burping wine, muttering words that outsiders can't understand.

Liu Xi stretched his waist, walked to the window, opened the wooden window, and a slightly chilly north wind immediately blew in his face, but it made the people who were drinking a little more comfortable.

It's been a long time since I've felt this comfortable.

Just as Liu Xi sighed, there was a knock outside the door, the voice was short and powerful, with a hint of haste.

It doesn't seem to be a guy from the restaurant.

"But the embroidered boy is in the house?"

As soon as these words came out, Ma Xiu, who was originally drunk and hazy, suddenly became excited, let go of the hand that was pulling Xiao Wu's sleeve, and stared at the door.

"Who's coming?"

The voice was a little low, but it had a little more majesty that had never appeared on Ma Xiu in the past.

"South of Shu Road, west of the ancient road, thin horses and camels are coming to the autumn wind."

Hearing this, Ma Xiu's face changed and he hurriedly got up, stepped forward in three steps and two steps, and opened the wooden door.

Although the person who came was wearing a cotton robe, he had slanted eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and an extremely angular face, and was not from the Central Plains.

Seeing this, how could Liu Xi not understand that this was a Shu person.

When the visitor saw Ma Xiu, his eyes were full of surprise, and he opened his mouth to say something, but he scanned the room with an eagle's gaze and swallowed the words that came to his mouth.

"Qiu Feng, why are you here, is there something wrong with Nanshu."

Ma Xiu opened his mouth and asked, and when he saw the look of the person who came, he hurriedly waved his hand, "It's all your own family here, you have something to do quickly." ”

"Dugu Qiufeng has seen His Royal Highness embroidery."

Hearing Ma Xiu's words, the man immediately bent over and saluted, "Your Highness, Nanshu is in danger, Your Highness wants to usurp power and seize the throne, and the king's life is in danger, I hope Your Highness can immediately set off to rescue the driver!" ”
