[Today and tomorrow are only two shifts for the time being, Lao Gao slows down, takes a break from his fingers, two years of typing non-stop, it hurts badly, and three shifts on Monday]

------

Li Yanqing felt all the way, although today is only a short time, but Aunt Yang is indeed a very virtuous woman, able to bear hardships and stand hard work, from her dress, from the little food she is reluctant to throw away in her bowl, it can be seen that her life is very poor.

Li Yanqing couldn't understand that his father divided 3,500 yuan after the dissolution of the firm, and gambled that he won 800 taels of silver in the imperial examination in Anyang.

What did my father think? Be sure to ask when he returns.

Li Yanqing also hopes that his father can continue the string, after all, he is only in his thirties, and his wife died of illness after only two years of marriage, so he should marry again.

It's just that Li Yanqing is very worried that his father will marry a Hedong lion like his aunt, but this Aunt Yang is good, and she can vaguely see her mother's shadow from her, maybe her father accepted her because of this.

At this time, Li Yanqing's stomach rumbled for a while, and he remembered that he hadn't eaten dinner yet.

"Brother coachman, what is the famous food in the capital?"

The coachman smiled, "The little official's question is too big, there are countless famous foods in Bianjing, what Granny Cao's meatloaf, Yulou buns, Sun Haoshou steamed buns, Jiajia gourd soup, Gaoyang Zhengdian, Sun Yangzheng store, Ren shop, Zhuangyuan Building, Qingfeng Building, Panlou Hotel, etc., but the most famous restaurant is Alum Tower, which is the place where the kings and grandsons and nobles gather, and you can also see the first prostitute Li Shishi in Bianjing, which is the fairy of the Moon Palace!" ”

"Has the coachman's brother been to Alum Tower?"

"You asked me if I went in? How is it possible, how can a person like me enter the alum building, it's not that I'm not qualified to enter, but I don't have money, I heard that only silver is collected in it, and it costs at least ten taels of silver for a breakfast, ten taels of silver! I had to go three months without eating, drinking, or paying rent to save up, but it was just breakfast. ”

Although Li Yanqing made a relatively generous move, he was far from being extravagant enough to spend ten taels of silver to have breakfast, he immediately dispelled the idea of going to Alum Tower, but he was very interested in Master Li, I don't know what this famous beauty in history looks like?

He was about to say that he would go to Xiwasher in the state, but suddenly remembered that he had no money on him, and the twenty taels of silver were left to Aunt Yang, and he had to go back to the inn first.

"Big brother coachman, send me back to the inn first!"

"Great!"

The coachman whipped the oxen, and the ox cart sped up and drove towards the Tangjia Inn.

．．．．．．

Walking into the inn, Shopkeeper Han beckoned to Li Yanqing from afar, "Little official, it's done!" ”

Li Yanqing stepped forward and took this Fangguo household level document, which was just a thin piece of paper, which read: "Xiangzhou Gongju Shi Xie Yuan Li Yanqing is hereby certified as a first-class household of Fangguo in Kaifeng Prefecture, and can use this book to handle the leasing of houses." The official seal was stamped at the bottom.

"Is it just a piece of paper?" Li Yanqing said with a smile.

"Don't underestimate it, little officials, without this piece of paper, you have no place to rent a house, so you can only stay in an inn."

"Is there any news on the house?"

"I have already asked someone to find it, there should be news the day after tomorrow, and the petty officials will wait patiently."

"It's really troublesome."

Li Yanqing clasped his fists and saluted, turned around and walked upstairs, "Little official, go slowly!" The shopkeeper hurriedly stopped him.

The shopkeeper ran over and said, "Look at me, I almost forgot about important things, someone is looking for a petty official, and I have been waiting for a while." ”

"Who is looking for me?"

"It's me!"

A person in the corner of the lobby stood up, only to see that his face was dark and shiny, and there was a messy beard under his chin, which was the black-faced young man he met on the road.

"How do you know I live here?" Li Yanqing walked down and asked in surprise.

The young man's face was red, but fortunately, his face was dark, and ordinary people couldn't see his embarrassment, so he smiled and said: "I saw the addresses of several of them when I registered in martial arts, and I thought you should live together, so I rushed to ask the shopkeeper, and the little brother really lives here." ”

"Then why didn't you go to the training camp?" Li Yanqing was even more confused.

"This ..... Is the old brother free? I want to ask you something. ”

"Please be seated!"

Li Yanqing invited the black-faced young man to sit down, and the shopkeeper hurriedly instructed the man to bring them two cups of tea, and asked, "Do you want to eat, I have a ready-made meal here." ”

Tang Ji's food was as unpalatable as ever, and the capital was no exception, Li Yanqing hurriedly waved his hand, "Thank you, shopkeeper, I'll go out to eat later!" ”

Li Yanqing took a sip of hot tea and asked, "Can you tell me first, why did they go to the training camp, did they make a mistake?" ”

"There is no mistake, I have participated in the training of township soldiers in the county, but they don't, so I must participate in the intensive training, which is a condition for the martial arts of the Ministry of Martial Arts, and I must have military experience."

So that's the case, Li Yanqing thought that the three of them had participated in the training of the Shizi Army, but the Shizi Army was not a regular army, and martial arts might not be recognized.

"Below is Li Yanqing of Tangyin County, may I ask the surname of Brother Taizun?" Li Yanqing then remembered that he didn't know the other party's name.

The black-faced young man hurriedly said: "My name is Niu Gao, a native of Lushan County, Ruzhou." ”

Li Yanqing was stunned, it was actually Niu Gao, he really didn't know each other! After a while, Li Yanqing laughed, "Then why are you in Chenqiao Town?" ”

"I went to Fengqiu to find a friend, but my friend was not at home, so I had to go to Beijing alone, and I happened to meet you in Chenqiao Town, because I was too reckless."

"Brother Niu is interested in my bow!"

Niu Gao scratched his head embarrassedly and said: "My master said that the copper bow and iron arrow are unique in the world, and only the iron arm Zhou Dong Daxia can use it, I don't know who Zhou Daxia is?" ”

"He is my master, and he passed this bronze bow to me, and my three brothers are also his disciples."

"It turns out that Zhou Daxia is in Tangyin County!"

Niu Gao was very annoyed in his heart, "I want to worship him as a teacher, but I can't find him everywhere, I would have gone to Tangyin County if I knew it, Brother Li, is Zhou Daxia still in Tangyin?" ”

Li Yanqing smiled and shook his head, "He only stayed in Tangyin County for a year, and he will return to the capital in a few days, if Brother Niu wants to see him, I can recommend him!" ”

Niu Gao jumped up happily and hurriedly bowed deeply to Li Yanqing, "Brother Li's kindness, Niu Gao is grateful!" ”

At this time, Li Yanqing was hungry and unbearable, so he said, "Why don't we go and have a drink, Brother Niu is willing to appreciate his face?" ”

Niu Gao is a cheerful person, and he didn't even eat, so he immediately agreed.

Li Yanqing went back to the room to get the money, and Niu Gao went out of the inn, the most prosperous moment in Bianjing is at dusk, after a busy day, people began to enter the leisure nightlife, and the liquor stores in Bianjing were full.

The two of them found a few taverns in a row and did not have a seat, so they simply came to the state of West Washer not far from the inn, the tile house is composed of several streets, the main entrance is a memorial arch, on which is written 'State West Wazi' four big characters, there is no residence, all are dense shops, a large shed is set up, the shed is full of lanterns, the lights are bright, the tile house is illuminated like day.

The Washe is very lively, the restaurants on both sides are dense, the shouting and selling are endless, all kinds of meat aroma and face fragrance come to the nose, the flow of people is like weaving, rubbing shoulders one after another.

Li Yanqing's eyes were dazzled, and he pointed to a 'Zhang Hanzi honey sauce roasted large pieces of meat' and smiled at Niu Gao: "Let's go to its house!" ”

Niu Gao smiled, "I like to eat large pieces of meat!" ”

The two walked into the store, and the guy greeted them, "Two little officials, please come in!" ”

The two sat down at an empty table, and the guy smiled: "When you come to our store, you must eat a large piece of meat, a piece of meat is two catties, do you want to come to a piece?" ”

"Two pieces! What other pasta dish is there besides chunks of meat? Li Yanqing asked.

"There are also big meat buns, just steamed, four in a cage."

"Then come to four cages, a few dishes of side dishes, and a pot of wine!"

"Great! There are two distinguished guests here, a pot of wine, a set of Wufu platter, four cages of big meat buns, and two pieces of honey meat! ”

After a short time, the wine and food arrived like flowing water, and Li Yanqing rewarded the guy with a few pennies, and the guy thanked him and left.

It could be seen that Niu Gao was also hungry, and the two of them ate four steamed buns like a storm, and their stomachs were only slightly full, Li Yanqing poured two glasses of wine and said with a smile: "Brother Niu also went to Beijing to study martial arts!" ”

"My family is poor, thanks to my uncle's financial support to study in primary school for a few years, and then collect firewood for a living, I was born with great strength, and at the age of thirteen I can pick up 400 catties of firewood.

One day I picked firewood into the city to sell, was the master fancied, he taught me a year of martial arts, he later went to Taiyuan Mansion, before leaving to give me a pair of corrugated gilt mace, I this year on this pair of gold mace won the first place in Ruzhou martial arts, Zhizhou rewarded a horse and fifty taels of silver, settled down after the mother, I entered Beijing to study martial arts. ”

"How did your master know Master Zhou?"

Niu Gao scratched his head and said: "My master was also in the forbidden army as a stick teacher, I am good at walking bows, but I am not good at riding and archery, so the master suggested that I go to find Zhou Daxia, he said that Zhou Daxia is the world's champion of riding and archery." ”

Li Yanqing's heart moved, and he asked with a smile: "Is your master's surname Wang, called Wang Jin!" ”

"How do you know?"

Li Yanqing suddenly realized that Niu Gao turned out to be the apprentice of Wang Jin, the head of the stick sect, Li Yanqing knew that Wang Jin was squeezed out by Gao Yu, so he left the forbidden army and wandered around, and finally took refuge in Taiyuan Planter Dao, teaching Niu Gao martial arts is the eve of going to Taiyuan Mansion.

"I also heard the master say that the four major leaders of the forbidden army, Wang Jin and Lin Chong of the stick law department, Xu Ning of the marksmanship department, and Zhou Dong of the riding and archery department."

"I don't know this, since my brother is a disciple of Zhou Daxia, why don't you go to martial arts?"

"I am a scholar of civil and military affairs, and this time I entered Beijing to study Taixue."

"Oh-"

Niu Gao was extremely envious, "I actually want to continue studying, but my family is poor, my father died early, and I have to rely on me to support my mother, but I have also studied for three years, so I will not be illiterate." ”

The two chatted while drinking, chatting until late at night, drinking more than a dozen pots of wine, both of them were a little overwhelmed, and then they broke up, Niu Gao went back to the martial arts dormitory, and Li Yanqing went back to the inn, and fell asleep.

[Note: There is a slight difference in age between Niu Gao and history in this book, don't care about it]
