Chapter 318 [Northwest Peacock]
"Who is Han Xu?"
After Shi Meixi and the others stepped into the gate of Qingzhou City and disappeared into the crowd, Yuan Lai finally asked. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Kansai said: "There are many generals under the account of General Shentu in the northwest, among which there is a general named Han Baohu who is deeply trusted by Shentu Wojia, this person is very famous in the military department, and many important matters of Shentu will be handed over to him to deal with, this Han Xu is Han Baohu's only son, although he is not very old now, he is a little frivolous but he is quite safe to do things, so Han Baohu often entrusts him with some unimportant things. β
Yuan Lai raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
Han Baohu?
He instantly remembered his experience in Bacheng, and at that time he also had several acquaintances with Han Baohu, knowing that he was a general in the northwest, and after learning the importance of the confidential information in Zheng Shibai's hands, he could also guess what Han Baohu's status was.
But I didn't expect the world to be so small, I just met Han Baohu not long ago, and I met his son today.
But Yuan Lai didn't care, he didn't know who Han Xu was, so he just smiled after the accident and said casually: "That's it." β
After a pause, he said casually: "But I don't know what this general's son is doing here." β
"It won't be for food, will it?"
Suddenly, a soft voice came, and it turned out to be Liu Xiaoyan in the carriage poking his head out.
"Eat?" Yuan Lai looked at her suspiciously.
Hearing this, Kansai came to his senses and said, "It's really possible!"
"What do you mean?"
Kansai explained: " I heard that this young master Han has some hobbies, fun and aggressive, especially a special like to eat, speaking of which the cook in Han Xuhu's house came out of the palace, so Han Xu is used to good food from snacks, and when he grows up, his mouth is very picky, especially like to find food everywhere to taste, there is a restaurant in Qingzhou The master is very capable of cooking, famous far and wide, then Han Xu wanted to taste it for a long time, but he never had the opportunity, this is not a secret, this time since he arrived in Qingzhou, if he has free time, it is really possible to find food to eatγ β
Yuan Lai couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "There is such a thing, I always thought that the people who would eat were all old." β
Kansai smiled: "He, he can't talk about eating much, that is, he loves to eat." β
While talking and laughing, the two cars passed through the city gate and entered the main city of Qingzhou Mansion.
Everyone has been traveling all the way, and although they are cultivators, they will also feel tired and uncomfortable, and now that they have finally arrived in a big city, they naturally need to have a good rest.
I found a mid-range store to stay, and the time was already close to evening.
After finding a place to stay, the next thing is naturally to eat, Yuan Lai since he heard that there is a famous restaurant here, he naturally does not plan to let go, although he is not a person who can eat, but the appetite can never be satisfied, and there is no shortage of money, a few people simply went straight to the "Peacock Building" as soon as they discussed.
When I first heard the name of "Peacock Tower", Yo You was very puzzled:
"Why is this building called Peacock, could it be that there is peacock meat for sale in it?"
Yuan Lai couldn't help laughing when he heard it, and it happened that he happened to have seen the origin of this Qingzhou Peacock Tower in a certain book, so he explained: "This is not because of any peacock meat, but because of an allusion." β
"Oh?"
Not only Yoyo, but the rest of the people also looked at it, and even Kansai was surprised.
Although Yuan Lai has not been in Daqi for a long time, he has been catching up, and his reading for several months has finally paid off, and he can't help but say happily:
"The name of this building comes from a hundred years ago in the White Deer Academy called Lu Peiru's teaching, once this Mr. Lu and a certain Wuyi student in the capital in Qingzhou in this building to discuss knowledge, well, at that time naturally there was no name of the Peacock Building, at that time the Wuyi student asked with the ancient poem "Peacock Flying Southeast", asked Mr. Lu said, "Why does the peacock fly southeast and not fly to the northwest?"
According to common sense, this question is very unreasonable, and the poet does not need a reason to write a southeast at all when he writes poetry, but Mr. Lu felt that such an answer was not good, so he had an idea and quoted a poem from the nineteen ancient poems of the previous dynasty to answer. β
"What poem?"
Yuan Lai smiled and said: "There are tall buildings in the northwest, and the clouds are on the same level!"
Several people were stunned, and then suddenly realized that they laughed one after another.
Only Yo You's brain circuit is different from ordinary people, and she actually asked: "White Deer Academy, is it the White Deer Academy where Senior Brother Hu is?"
She was referring to Hu Junzi, and Yo You still remembered that Hu Junzi seemed to be from Bailu Academy.
Yuan Lai rolled his eyes and said in a long voice: "Yes~"
Then he said: "Because of this allusion, the building was renamed Peacock Tower." β
Guan Xi smiled when he heard this: "It's really interesting, but it's a pity that you kid only knows allusions, and you don't know the master chef in this peacock building." β
Yuan Lai smiled and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It's shallow on paper, and I never know that I have to do it." β
Although this emotion is not very compatible, it is intended to be in it.
Talking and laughing all the way, they finally came to the famous Peacock Tower, but when this building really appeared in front of several people, they couldn't help but stop.
β...... This business ...... Isn't that a little too good?"
Yo Yo muttered.
I saw the Peacock Building in front of the row, lined up with carriages and horses, the full seats of guests that can be seen in the building are densely packed, there are more people who come and go and keep walking, there are even a lot of servants outside the building who wander in the bushes of carriages and horses, the evening sun is sprinkled, the Peacock Tower is splendid.
The whole building was so full that a few of them didn't want to go in when they looked at it.
"What's going on? I've been here before, so it shouldn't be so lively on weekdays, right?"
Kansai looked hesitant, and he had the impression that although business was booming here, it would not reach this level.
Suddenly, Liu Xiaoyan, who was as quiet as a soft flower, opened his mouth and said, "Look!"
A few people looked at it, and saw that the place she pointed out were several tall horses, and not only for some reason, these horses were not even pulled away, but were tethered here.
Kansai's eyes lit up, and he blurted out: "The horse of the Northwest Army?"
"Oh?"
Kansai looked at the tall horses and explained: "The horses of the Northwest Army are the best in the empire, they are all excellent breeds selected from the grassland, and they are very different from the bloodlines and appearances produced in other places, you are looking at those horse harnesses, especially the patterns on the saddles, which are the horses matched by the officers of the Northwest Army!"
"Could it be that the Northwest officer's mount is the son of General Han?"
Kansai looked at it and said that it was possible, and then stepped forward and grabbed a small guy and asked a few words, and the rest of the people stood still and did not move. After a while, Kansai returned and said lightly: "It's indeed that Han Xu, today that Han Xu invited the local gentry to a banquet in the Peacock Tower, and named him to eat the dishes of that famous chef, so it was so lively." β
Yuan Lai smiled and said, "That's the case, then let's change places." β
