Chapter 052: Qingfeng Tower
If Wang Fang didn't have any previous experience, I'm afraid what he was asking for was just a small wealth in the Song Dynasty, that is, a peaceful and ordinary life. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info But he knew that since he could have been a prince and had experienced so much, all his thoughts now were just to recreate the past.
Seeing that Wang Bei's mood had regained his calm, Shen Kuo and Cai Jing were relieved. On the way back to the pavilion, Shen Kuo remembered that Xu Xi had sent someone to follow them, and complained unhappily. The king didn't care, so where did he go? There's still a long way to go.
Bianjing City is still prosperous, the west of the city from Wanshengmen to Liangmen is not the appearance of the early years, the pharmacy, gold and silver shops and Goolan tiles are lined up, only the three-storey building of the Zhennan Wangfu is still conspicuous. In the autumn season, the autumn tiger is in full swing, and the sun is still scorching the earth at noon.
A group of soldiers entered the city under the scorching sun, and they walked through the streets with heavy steps, and the people of the shops and houses on the streets poked their heads and watched the procession pass silently. The street was unusually quiet, except for the sound of Suosuo's footsteps. Finally, the procession disappeared at the other end of the Liang Gate, and the people and pedestrians on the street began to talk one after another.
"I heard that this Yongle City defeated soldiers?"
"It must be, or else you wouldn't show off your might?!"
"I heard that our army suffered a dumb loss this time, and the loss is not small!"
"Isn't it?! What's wrong with money, not to repair the city? It's good now, I spent money in vain and helped others build a city. Isn't this a waste of money and labor?! ”
At most, the words of the people are just discussions and complaints. But none of this changed the outcome of the war, and soon the streets were calm again, with shops going about their business as usual, and pedestrians returning to their usual bustle.
The king was also among the pedestrians, and he led the horse and silently looked at the palace not far away. In this bustling capital, who would notice that there is an extra person who doesn't belong here in the first place? Returning to the imperial court to hand over the decree is what Shen Kuo and them should do, as for whether they want to see Zhao Ji, they have to wait for the emperor's will. From the king's side, he was not interested in rushing to the palace as soon as he returned to the capital.
As soon as he entered the city, he said goodbye to Shen Kuo, and let him walk silently after passing the team. Stepping on the land of the capital again, the steps next to the king were a little heavy at every step. It's not that he doesn't want to go home, but what he wants to see most now is his family. But my father has returned to Linchuan, and the palace in front of him is no longer my home. Even Wang Bi has been thinking in his heart, what kind of mood should he use to meet his wife and children who have been separated for 14 years.
All this, including the Bianjing City in front of you, is so familiar and unfamiliar. The former palace is still the Department of Regulations of the Three Divisions, but this government that exists in name only is already a crowd. Occasionally, people who enter and exit from the government are also in a hurry. The official at the door stood crooked, chatting with three or two, and did not notice that someone was standing at the door looking at the palace.
Wang sighed softly in his heart, and walked a little more after passing the Liangmen, and the street became more prosperous, and the business of the streetside restaurants was thriving. Some of the hooked fences have already opened, and in the afternoon the brothels have opened their doors, and on the railings sit in twos and threes the well-dressed young ladies, who eat snacks and laugh, and occasionally wave handkerchiefs at passers-by with coquettish eyes.
It's almost to the West Corner Tower Street, and the majestic imperial city can be seen to the north, Wang Bian glanced in that direction, I don't know what Zhao Ji is doing at this time? Knowing that he is back, can he still sit comfortably on the throne? Wang Fang sneered, leading the horse to bypass the royal street to the south, he knew that he still had a place to go back, that is, the former Mayer Mansion.
Turning around, he suddenly saw a person hurrying towards the opposite side, attracting the attention of the king. This person is twenty years old, wearing a green brocade robe and a straight-legged head with soft wings on his head, which is obviously the official uniform of the ninth grade. I'm afraid that the people won't even see much about the Jiupin officials in the capital, as the so-called officials don't know if they don't go to the capital. But what Wang was curious about was that this person was wearing an official uniform, but he walked into a restaurant, and he walked in angrily, and this restaurant was obviously not a place to eat, and the girls on the second floor were chattering and laughing idly.
The plaque in front of the restaurant reads Qingfeng Building, looking at the decoration scale of the restaurant, it should be considered medium and high-class, and the guy at the door saw that the official did not greet him with a smile, but immediately dodged away and let him in.
"Look, Childe is here again, look at this situation, Master Lin is in big trouble today." The guys were talking.
"You say, after all, our son-in-law is also an official, and Master Lin still keeps this Qingfeng Building, and the son-in-law will definitely not be able to save face."
A steward stepped out of it: "You don't greet guests, what are you muttering here?" ”
Wang couldn't help but stop, the person who spoke looked very familiar, this time spanning fourteen years, many people's appearances have changed, after all, they are a little older than back then, but the outline is faintly visible. The middle-aged man who spoke, isn't this Cui Xi of the Splendid Building back then?
"Manager Cui, do you think the master will close this Qingfeng Building?" A guy asked.
"Hurry up and get to work, don't worry about it. Childe too, what's so great about a magistrate. After a few days, he will stop as soon as he leaves, and besides, he is reluctant to close the Qingfeng Building of our Master Lin. Hurry up and ......" Cui Xi turned his head as he spoke, and saw the king next to him, and immediately stayed there.
Now it is different from in Western Xia, Wang Fang came back generously this time, he stood in place and arched his hand towards Cui Xi and asked, "Shopkeeper Cui, don't come to harm!" ”
Cui Xi took two steps towards the king but stood still, the two were two or three steps away, Tracy pointed to the king: "Are you?" Rajah? ”
"What? Have I changed? It's been more than ten years, and I almost can't recognize the beard of the shopkeeper Cui! ”
Tracy rubbed her eyes: "Oops! Oh my lord! I'm not dreaming! And he took two steps, and took one step at a time, and drew the king by his side, looking up and down.
"Quick, get the horse in!" Tracy instructed his man, grabbed the king with one hand and walked towards the Qingfeng Tower: "Come with me......"
The guy scratched his head and came over to lead the horse, he had never seen Mr. Cui so panicked, Sailongque shook his head impatiently, and the king patted the horse to appease: "This horse is violent, don't provoke him!" ”
"Okay!" The guy answered.
"Oh, you're so unhurried. Hurry up, I can't wait! Cui Xi urged.
Wang Bi knew that there must be a reason why Cui Xi dragged himself into Qingfeng Tower, so he followed Tracy in. Tracy took Wang Bian to the backyard in one go, through a small garden, and directly into the inner mansion.
"Cui Xi, where are you taking me?"
"Don't ask, come with me!" Cui Xi was out of breath excitedly, and shouted as he walked into the inner mansion and hall: "Master Lin, come out and see who is coming?" ”
When he entered the courtyard gate of the inner mansion and walked towards the hall, Wang heard a noisy sound inside, and the noise was mixed with the movement of falling and smashing, and he was taken by Cui Xi to think about whether it was appropriate to break in at this time. The sound in the room stopped abruptly, and as soon as the door opened, the son of the official of the house stood at the door and said angrily: "No one will come!" ”
"Get out of the way, who asked you!" A man behind him pushed him away and asked. "Who's Trish?"
"Lord, it's Lord!" Cui Xi couldn't suppress his joy.
"Lord Wang?" The person who was pushed away was a little confused, how could the prince come to this place in broad daylight?
Immediately afterwards, to Wang Bei's surprise, Lin Haozhi was standing under the corridor of the door, yes, although he was old, it must be Lin Haozhi. His eyes seemed to have been spent, and he waited for the king to walk in, and saw that it was indeed the king, exactly the same as back then, and he had not become the king at all, his mouth was closed for a long time, and suddenly his white eyes and body fell down.
"Daddy!" The young man behind him hurriedly hugged Lin Haozhi and rubbed his chest for him: "Oops, I'm sick again, I just fell and beat me so much." Daddy, wake up. Seeing that he was anxiously wiping his sweat with his sleeves, it didn't look like he was arguing with Lin Haozhi just now.
Wang Bi stepped forward quickly and pinched Lin Haozhi's people, Lin Haozhi snorted and woke up. Seeing that he was in his son's arms, he angrily pushed the young man, turned around and pulled the king along: "It's really the prince who is back, you said, we all heard that the prince is still alive, and this suddenly appeared in front of him, and it was really a little uncomfortable." I'm dizzy and distressed, I'm sick, I haven't done anything wrong with this unlucky boy, and I'm out of shape when I see the prince. ”
The young man hurriedly helped Lin Haozhi up with Cui Xi: "Quick, please inside!" ”
Lin Haozhi said, and hurriedly let Wang Bian into the hall. When you enter the door, you can see that the father and son have just quarreled a lot, and there are teacups on the ground. Cui Xi shouted in the courtyard: "What about people? What about those who serve in the inner house? Don't want a monthly salary? ”
An old mother and two little slaves hurriedly came out of the ear room, the Lin family's father and son quarrels are commonplace, and outsiders hide far away when they quarrel, and they usually have to wait for the son to leave before they dare to come over to clean up. But everyone knows that father and son always quarrel well, and then quarrel again.
The subordinates were busy, cleaned up the room, and arranged for the host and guest to serve tea and water, and then they all withdrew.
Wang Bian glanced at the young man who had been standing beside Lin Haozhi, at this moment he was looking at Lin Haozhi's expression with concern, and before Lin Haozhi could ask him about these years, Wang Bian asked first: "Master Lin, is this Ling Gongzi?" ”
"Lord Wang, you still call me Lin Haozhi, I'm used to it, why did you suddenly get old? I was in my thirties, and more than a decade had passed. The dog is not talented, just let the prince laugh, this is not the imperial examination of the jinshi, the court named him a magistrate, he can't find the north, I have to close this Qingfeng Building. You say, he does his guan, I run my Qingfeng Building, isn't it good that the well water does not interfere with the river water? Lin Haozhi glanced at his son and said angrily.
"Daddy! You just shut it down, and my Yulu can also provide for you, look at how immoral this place is! I'm going to the state capital to take office, how uneasy I am to put Chong'er here! ”
Lin Haozhi frowned: "If you had said this earlier, I would definitely have to think about it, if you come and stare at me, you want me to close the door, so how can I close it?" Besides, this is not our family's business, it just so happens that the prince is here, and today I can count on my mind. ”
Wang was a little surprised when he heard it, how could he still have his own business here, whether Qingfeng Building was closed or not, what did it have to do with him?
