Chapter 205: Be Honest and Honest
"Oh, I'm relieved!" Ji Wen breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Still angry about the matter of Qian Zhuang?" ”
Zhang Baoer nodded. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"It's right to go for a walk, Bao'er, where do you want to go?"
"What's the buzz out of town?" Zhang Baoer asked casually.
"Outside the city?" Ji Wen thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we go to Xinfeng Town!" ”
There is Xinfeng Town in the suburbs of Chang'an, there are many wine shops in the town, and there are many good wines, the world's name is called "Xinfeng Wine", also called "Chang'an Xinfeng Wine".
The name of Xinfeng originated in the Han Dynasty, and Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was born in Fengli, and then raised an army, punished Qin and destroyed Xiang, and established the Han Dynasty. He honored his father as the Emperor. Emperor Taishang missed the scenery of his hometown in Chang'an City, and Liu Bang ordered the craftsman Hu Kuan to build this city in the shape of his hometown Fengli, which was called Xinfeng, which means the newly moved Fengxiang.
After the completion of Xinfeng, Taigong still wanted to drink the wine of his hometown, and Liu Bang moved the winemaker of his hometown to here, and since then Xinfeng wine has been famous all over the world, and there are many literati and ink writers.
As early as the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Emperor Liang Yuan once wrote the poem "Try Xinfeng wine, persuade balcony people from afar", and drank Xinfeng wine as if it was in the balcony fairyland.
Xinfeng Town is really lively, from Xinfeng all the way to the east gate of Chang'an City, there are stalls selling wine on both sides of the official road, these wine sellers are the villagers of the villages along the way, those who are in a hurry to drink at any time, pay more to drink more and pay less to drink, this way of drinking is called "Xiema Cup".
Since they came, Zhang Baoer and Ji Wen inevitably wanted to follow the customs, so the two of them found a stall casually, asked for a jar of loose wine, a few snacks, and sat on a bench to drink.
Zhang Bao'er was drinking wine while thinking about his thoughts, Ji Wen was very interesting, and he didn't bother him, just bored watching the crowd coming and going.
Zhang Bao'er drank the stuffy wine, and after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't have a clue, so he simply didn't want to, he patted his groggy head, and said to Ji Wen: "Brother Ji, you have a lot of knowledge in your stomach, what are the characters who can speak well throughout the ages, pick a few to talk about and listen." ”
Explaining what he knew to Zhang Bao'er was something that Ji Wen was happy to do, he put down his wine glass, pursed his lips and said: "If you want to be able to speak well, you should count Su Qin and Zhang Yi in the Warring States Period......"
Ji Wen spoke passionately and freely for more than half an hour, and Zhang Baoer listened very seriously.
After Ji Wen finished speaking, Zhang Bao'er frowned and didn't speak for a long time, like an old monk who had settled down.
Finally, a smile bloomed on Zhang Baoer's face: "Brother Ji, this Xinfeng wine is really good, go!" Let's go back! ”
……
In a private room near Yonghe Building, Zhang Baoer was waiting for guests. Wei Xianyun, who was dressed in a green shirt, arrived as promised, and the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then drank each other tacitly.
Once upon a time, Wei Xianyun was an unattainable god-like figure in Zhang Baoer's eyes. But now, Zhang Baoer actually sat at the same table with Wei Xianyun, and it was so close, which made him a little excited.
Counting it, this is the third wine Zhang Baoer has drunk today, and it stands to reason that she should be a little drunk. However, his eyes were as clear as promised, and he could not be drunk, nor did he want to be drunk.
Inadvertently, the two had already drunk most of the jar of wine, but they didn't say a few words.
"Zhang Gongzi, do you know why I was invited to meet you?" Wei Xianyun asked casually.
"I don't know!" Zhang Baoer honestly admitted.
"Because I'm curious about you!"
"Curious about me?" Wei Xianyun's words made Zhang Bao'er a little confused, and he asked rhetorically: "Where did Mr. Wei come from about me?" ”
"From the first time I saw you to now, it's only been about two years, you were just an unknown little flower in Chenzhou, and after coming to Chang'an City, you became a gambling house, and in a blink of an eye, you have become a famous figure in Chang'an City, isn't it worth curiosity?" Wei Xianyun drank the wine in the cup, poured it again, and said slowly: "I don't know if it's destined, every time I see you, you will give me a different side and impress me." I would like to know if you have been lucky enough to get to where you are today, or if you have already calculated it step by step? ”
After listening to Wei Xianyun's words, Zhang Baoer suddenly felt that he couldn't cry or laugh: Is this Mr. Wei full of food, and he has nothing to do to think about these useless things.
Wei Xianyun's following words surprised Zhang Bao'er even more: "I sent someone to understand your every move after arriving in Chang'an, and judging from the information I have so far, you are not a person who is good at calculation." ”
Zhang Baoer couldn't understand how such a small person as herself was worth Wei Xianyun's so much thought?
Wei Xianyun continued: "Then there is only one possibility left, your luck is surprising, and you can always regain life every time you reach a desperate place." For example, this time you have a dispute with Taifeng Money, according to my estimate, you should not be able to hold on, but you just got the money from nowhere, and once again resolved the crisis......"
Zhang Bao'er said: "Mr. Wei, you overestimated me, I didn't resolve the crisis, the silver that was escorted was fake!" ”
Since she is here to ask for help, Zhang Baoer plans to be open and honest. He knew that with Wei Xianyun's resourcefulness, this matter would definitely not be hidden from him, and it was better to tell the truth than to be exposed by him.
"What? Fake? Wei Xianyun was taken aback, and immediately understood, and looked at Zhang Bao'er with some surprise: "You mean to say that only the box of silver you transported is real?" ”
"That's right!"
Wei Xianyun sighed with emotion: "What a trick to empty the city, even I have hidden it!" ”
"Let the gentleman see the smile!"
Wei Xianyun seemed to think of something again: "But as far as I know, your money bank has been lending money for the past two days, and there is no sign of weakness, what's going on?" ”
"It was the county lord of Yuzhen and the county lord of Jincheng who helped me raise some silver, and now they are just barely making ends meet."
"I see!" Wei Xianyun suddenly realized, he smiled and said to Zhang Bao'er: "You have given me an accident again, which makes my curiosity about you even heavier!" Tell me, what's next for you? ”
Zhang Baoer said bluntly: "I am ready to introduce foreign aid to help me survive this catastrophe, and I invite Mr. to come today to discuss this matter!" ”
"Impossible!" Wei Xianyun flatly refused: "It's not that I won't help you, I'll give you a secret, according to my understanding of Princess Taiping, she will never wade into this troubled water." ”
"I know!" Zhang Bao'er said with a smile: "In the eyes of Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping, I am just a nobody, and I am not worthy of her helping me at all, just look at the jokes." Therefore, I didn't have any hope for Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping at all, and there was someone else in the reinforcement I was talking about. ”
Zhang Bao'er's words once again surprised Wei Xianyun, and he couldn't help asking, "Is there anyone else?" Who is it? ”
"The richest man in Chang'an, Wang Hu Feng!" Zhang Baoer said word by word. (To be continued.) )
