Chapter seventy-three, a deserted inn
Because of the impulse and pride, he broke into a certain inn, but when he first stepped into the steps of the inn, he saw the luxurious layout inside, and the young man's ambitious heart instantly turned into apprehension and uneasiness, so that he forgot to even look at the huge signboard outside the court.
The signboard has large letters, and it is written that you are invited to enter the urn.........
This is Kyoto City, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, there is no shop that dares to be a black shop thief, do a strong and strong sale, expensive, but also expensive very emotional, in other words, it is to change the flowers so that the guest officer willingly spends silver two, but like this inn unabashedly hung on the signboard, it is not difficult to make people feel that this innkeeper is also a wonderful person.
To be able to do such an extraordinary act in the very city of Kyoto, if the shopkeeper is not a real rich man who is honest and wealthy, and can withstand the loss of the inn, then there must be a reason for its existence, at least it will not fall behind in the fierce competition with his peers, Xu Zi'an did not see the big words at the door, and he did not know the specific market inside.
The lobby on the first floor is very lively, the high rollers who fight wine and the Qing guests who enjoy the tea coexist together, the sound of persuading the wine and the sound of making tea blend together, several charming beauties pluck the strings on the side of the lobby, the sound of the piano is tactful and clear, just to help the drinkers to help a few cups of wine, and the elegant people who enjoy the tea add a few cups of tenderness.
Xu Zi'an was a little dumbfounded, and some doubted whether he had gone to the wrong place, where is this like an elegant and comfortable inn, this is clearly an elegant restaurant.
But looking upstairs, Xu Zi'an understood.
Unlike the bustle and excitement of the first floor, the second floor is a closed room, and although it is impossible to know what the specific furnishings are, the beautifully carved railings and lifelike lacquer paintings on the corridor must also be extraordinary.
This merry city is really different, a random street inn is a combination of accommodation and entertainment, the young man secretly thought that the silver in his arms can be enough for himself to stay for one night, the stunned heart is a little more stable, and he randomly found a more remote table to sit down.
asked for an ordinary dish, thought about it and asked for a pot of wine and light sake under the influence of the heroic drinking pleasure of the surrounding drinkers, pretending to be calm and signaling Xiao Er to be busy first, that Xiao Er had obviously seen a lot of scenes, and did not treat Xu Zi'an with any sneering eyes, kindly pointed to the sealing knife and broken umbrella in Xu Zi'an's arms and asked if it needed to be stored, and then went to other tables to be busy.
Being able to stay in this inn for so many years, this little second has an excellent eye, and at a glance from Xu Zi'an's dusty new shirt and curious and surprised eyes, he can see that he is the first time to come to Kyoto, and he should just be a country boy who came to Kyoto to see the mayor of Kyoto, and he will not be rich in his pocket, but he can't see what his specific identity is.
The object wrapped in the black cloth is obviously a knife, but this young man has a gentle temperament and is not as sharp as a swordsman, on the contrary, there is some scholar's calmness, Xiao Er thought about it casually and left it behind, and did not care too much, every year in the Yuexi test, there will be many such teenagers come to Kyoto to find fun, he has seen too much, and it is not strange to see more.
He was not surprised, Xu Zi'an was very fresh, and he took a bite of the free side dish, thinking that the color of this side dish was good, but the taste was a little unsatisfactory, and it was not as delicious as the pickled cabbage he pickled.
As for the best green onion noodles, chicken soup noodles, and various noodles, there is no comparison.
Thinking of this, Xu Zi'an suddenly thought, if he is really desperate, he will pick up his old business and set up a stall on the street to sell noodles, but I don't know what the taste of this Beijing person is, is it heavy salty and fragrant?
When the young man listened to the sound of the piano and sighed about the furnishings in the room, he heard a voice that became clearer and louder, suppressing all the noise in the room.
Xu Zi'an heard the sound and looked, and saw that a handsome young man in a brocade dress was talking, and the wine jug on the table was overturned, and the boy also looked drunk, his body was slightly leaning on the table and half down, and his handsome face was drunk and confused, and he looked very dissolute.
Opposite him was a young man with a folding fan, who was also a little drunk at this time, but not to the extent that he was drunk, and still somewhat sensible.
"Brother, although it is the first time for the two of us to meet, but the end of the world is fate, in this way, after drinking, we will go to the best building in Kyoto City to have a good time" The drunken boy brother half-nestled on the edge of the table, holding a small wine cup and shaking it.
The young man on the other side seemed to be a very personable person, and he didn't know what to say to this rather vulgar remark for a while, so he had to smile and say, "You're really drunk."
"How many catties and taels are this? Under the Red Wall Zhu Sect that year, the master drank thirty catties of Qi Feng, these few taels of turbid wine are considered a fart" The drunken boy glanced at each other with a pair of peach blossom eyes, and unintentionally swayed a few hints of style.
Xu Zi'an looked at the amorous and amorous in his drunken eyes from afar, and thought that there were still men in the world who had such an evil temperament, and the evil ones were even more charming than women.
The young man on the other side couldn't resist the charm in the man's eyes, shook his head and stopped talking.
They don't actually know each other, and today is the first time they meet, but often between men, whether they know each other or not, once they get dipped in wine, they are good friends, like them don't know each other in a tavern, and the thing of drinking at the table often happens, anyway, drinking is a drunken dream, and when you are happy, you don't care who pays the other party for the wine and other miscellaneous things.
The young man with the fan didn't know how to respond, and one of the people at the table next to him laughed when he heard this, and laughed loudly at the unbridled young man.
"Everyone in the world knows that Qifeng wine is the royal wine of the palace, it is a famous wine that can only be drunk by the nobles in the palace, and I heard that the stock in the palace is also very small, if it is not a big feast, it is rare to see it in the world, you say that you can drink three taels I don't believe it, let alone the thirty catties, young man, it's not the old brother who said you, you can't say too much, otherwise it will be easy to be blown by the wind and break your tongue."
After the man finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter all around, and even the soft shoulders of the plucked piano shook for a while, obviously laughing at the handsome and amorous son, who was indeed a little Meng Lang when he said this.
Maybe he was really drunk, or maybe he was very thick-skinned and not afraid of being blown by the night breeze, this handsome boy didn't feel embarrassed, and raised a pair of delicate eyebrows to a few beautiful women who plucked the piano, and the romance between his eyes actually provoked several poor people at the same time to be shy and drooped their eyelids and did not dare to raise their eyes to look at each other.
I saw that the merry boy said arrogantly with a smile.
"Don't say it's that Qifeng wine, as long as the master wants to, even the concubine has to come to accompany the master to drink"
This can no longer be described excessively, and can even be crowned with a great crime of rebellion, the concubine Niangniang is His Majesty's woman, let Niangniang accompany the wine, I am afraid that in this world except Your Majesty, no one can have this honor, and no one has the life to enjoy this is undoubtedly the honor of seeking death, the surrounding tea guests and drinkers only regarded it as the young man's drunken nonsense, laughing and too lazy to respond, each raised the wine cup teacup in front of him, and continued.
But the big guy didn't care, but the amorous princess brother seemed to be interested, perhaps because he talked about the topic of beauty, which he was best at and loved, he squinted and picked up a bamboo chopstick and knocked on the edge of the table, spitting out wine and began to say loudly, from the most famous in the capital of a certain Oiran to the deep women's battle in the courtyard, from the intrigue of the side rooms of the main room under the high wall of the Zhumen Palace, and to the romantic anecdote of a minister in the court, before the words fell, the drunken boy brother suddenly turned around, and said that a certain concubine stole fishy, and the saliva flew in the air, he said it very happily。
Xu Zi'an looked at the other party's radiant side face through the gap between the heads, and when the small wine cup was in the air for a long time, he was surprised in his heart, secretly wondering what kind of background and person this person was, and he knew so many romantic things.
Moreover, it is so open-mouthed!
Although this kind of gossip involving the official palace is the favorite topic of every Kyoto citizen, it is all under the willows of the streets, and no one has ever dared to speak openly in such a public place, and it can even be said that it is unscrupulous and loud ridicule.
If this person is not drunk and drunk, then he is a eunuch disciple with a strong background, otherwise he is a madman who is not afraid of death.
And he is a very amorous madman, otherwise how would he know so many interesting things?
What the drunken boy said was that he was not ashamed and unashamed, and the others listened with great interest, but the young man with the fan sitting opposite him began to be embarrassed, and even a little angry.
After all, there are many of these topics that involve secrets under the palace walls and in the depths of the imperial city, and they usually just talk about it in their own courtyards.
Who doesn't know that the night men who are used to showing people in black in the Qingye Division are not the lackeys of the nobles in the palace, but the connection between them is not less.
The face of the young man holding the fan on the other side became heavier and heavier, thinking that I just saw you sitting alone and was bored, so I invited you to drink a few cups together, how do you think about how you are so virtuous, after getting drunk, you don't know how to restrain at all, and the nonsense is still interesting, everyone meets in Pingshui, if you are implicated again because you are open-mouthed, won't I even find no one to complain? Thinking of this, the young man with the fan began to retreat in his heart, and he was ready to leave to protect his innocence.
However, the drunken brother obviously didn't see his embarrassment, his voice was getting louder and louder, and the topic was becoming more and more taboo, and finally .........
His conversation turned to a certain white-clothed case that had shocked the whole of Kyoto!
The teacup of the young man opposite also fell to the ground with a snap!
At this time, the young man's face was pale, and a layer of broken sweat occupied his entire face like mist, not only him, but even the guests at the table next to him were silent, looking at the drunken boy in panic, and even more, after looking out of the door a few times, he threw down a silver ingot and hurried away, as if this place had suddenly become a cold and piercing cold cave.
Xu Zi'an looked at the changes of the people suspiciously, and realized that the sudden change of the people might be related to the white-clothed case in the drunken person's mouth, and couldn't help but be curious, when he was in the jungle, he heard Duoduo talk about the Kyoto white-clothed case, but he didn't care about it at the time, and he didn't ask much, but according to the performance of the scene at this time, the white-clothed case didn't seem to be so simple.
Xu Zi'an has lived in the mountain city for a long time, and he doesn't know that there are some obscure topics in the dynasty that cannot be mentioned in public, because those topics are not only related to the imperial court, but also about the terrifying Qingye Division, even if Bai Hang's words were disrespectful to the concubine Niangniang before, everyone only ignored it as drunk and crazy, although this is the foot of the imperial city, but the nobles in the palace have no time to worry about anything with a drunken guest, but now he is mentioning the white clothes, and he is talking with such a disrespectful attitude, which is undoubtedly a provocation to the Qingye Division, and the Qingye Division is not a self-sustaining and open-minded master, so talking in public is undoubtedly a provocation to the Qingye Division, how can everyone not be afraid。
For a while, everyone left the inn one after another, cold and deserted, people didn't dare to imagine that they were happy just now, this drunken boy brother saw everyone like this, bored and took a sip of small wine, looked around left and right, and suddenly saw Xu Zi'an, who was sitting in the corner and still a little unknown, his eyes lit up, and the drunkenness and wanton flashed by, picked up two wine glasses, walked to Xu Zi'an, and suddenly asked with a pair of peach blossom eyes.
"You............ Why don't you go?"
