The capital, Ying Tianfu, the capital of the Son of Heaven, its prosperity does not need to be bothered by scholars here.

At this time, it was March of the sixteenth year of Emperor Wanli, and the ice and snow on both sides of the streets in Beijing had not yet thawed. Although the weather is not very cold, the branches have not yet budded, and it is not a good season for outdoor activities. However, the streets are bustling with traffic and pedestrians.

Wuwu arrived in the capital yesterday evening, he has been practicing in the mountains since he was a child, and has never traveled alone. Where have I seen such a prosperous scene, it is late in the sky, and I am not familiar with life, so I have to find an inn at random to settle down and then make plans.

Now that he is no longer a Taoist, he naturally does not need to dress up as a Taoist priest, so he wore an aqua blue robe early in the morning, paid the room and left the inn.

Others are still cotton clothes, wearing thick clothes, slightly bloated, only he is alone with fluttering clothes, plus eight feet long, handsome face, extraordinary bearing, walking on the avenue has attracted the frequent attention of pedestrians, and they have guessed which family this is the son and young master.

The shops, restaurants, and medical halls on the street are one after another, all kinds of shouting and selling are endless, although the weather is slightly cold, but there are a lot of pedestrians, the early shops on the street are the gathering place of pedestrians, a group of three or five chatters, and some famous food stalls are even more unavailable.

Even if he had no worries about cultivation, he was attracted by the wafting aroma, and he walked away, and finally found a vacant shop and sat down.

I ate a few steamed buns and drank two bowls of bean curd.

At the time of checkout, he said to Xiao Er: "Little Second Brother, please tell you something." ”

Seeing that he was polite, the little second replied, "Guest, please speak." ”

"Dare to ask, when Xu Yan, the head of the Ministry of Rites, Lord Xu, I don't know if the second brother knows how to move?"

Xu Yan, the word is dry, this person is not an outsider, but a brother-in-law who has no worries.

When Xiao Er heard him inquire, it was a high-ranking official and nobleman: "The villain's status is low, if the guest asks the villain about the customs and flavors of the capital, the villain still knows a thing or two, but the villain knows very little about the affairs of the officials and the old man." ”

"Little brother, you know a little bit about Lord Xu who asked me. Wu Wu turned his head to look, only to see a man putting down the soup bowl in his hand, wearing a green silk cotton coat and a mink cotton hat, dressed quite generously, but he was eating buns with his head on his head, and he couldn't see his face clearly.

After listening to this person's words, he thought that this person would dare to answer and must be someone who knew about it, so he hurriedly asked: "This brother, dare to ask the name of the honorable person." ”

The man looked up, and he saw that he was about twenty years old, with good eyebrows.

The man swallowed the bun in his mouth and said: "I don't dare to take my name, my surname is Xiao, and my single name is a cloud character, I don't know what the little brother is doing when he asks Lord Xu?"

Wu Wu said: "I can't hide it, Lord Xu is the brother-in-law of the family, and the younger brother came to the capital when he first came to the capital yesterday, but he came to visit relatives." ”

Xiao Yun hurriedly bowed his hand and saluted after hearing the words of Wu Wu: "It turns out that the little brother is the family of Lord Xu, Xiao is disrespectful, disrespectful, and has not asked for the name, I remember that Mrs. Xu is surnamed Liu, I don't know if there is a mistake? I just saw the little brother for the first time, I felt a little familiar, but I couldn't remember, now I look at the little brother's face, I remember that he is six points similar to Mrs. Xu, so it is." ”

Wuchou said: "Exactly, the younger brother's surname is Liu, his name is Huan, the word is not worried, and the eldest brother is tired of guiding the way, and he is grateful." He saluted as he spoke.

Xiao Yun said enthusiastically: "Not busy, not busy, to tell you the truth, my brother and my brother-in-law are colleagues who were once officials, and they are neighbors on the street, at the beginning of the year, my brother-in-law held a banquet at home, Xiao is not talented, I was fortunate to attend the banquet with my brother, so I got to know my brother-in-law, and I said that my brother and brother Xiao did not dare to climb high, but Xiao and my brother-in-law are also quite familiar friends, Brother Liu first came to the capital, and he was also Xiao's friend, and Xiao was a landlord. ”

got up immediately and shouted, "Little Er, settle the bill." "I have left a small ingot of silver on the table, and I walked out without worry, and I shot it boldly, but a few buns, a bowl of unfinished bean curd, and a few pennies, where can I use such an ingot.

The little second seemed to recognize Xiao Yun, and shouted loudly: "Xiao Gongzi walks slowly." ”

The two went out of the shop and asked each other about their age, but Xiao Yun was four years older, one was nineteen, one was fifteen, and they were already very familiar with each other after a while, only to know that this Xiao Yun was illustrious, and his father and brother were all officials in the court.

Wuchou asked Xiao Yundao: "Brother Xiao is also a member of the public family?"

Xiao Yun said: "No, I was born to be unmanaged, I'm not afraid of Brother Liu's jokes, my old man almost didn't break my leg for this matter, and my brother and mother spoke in front of the old man, otherwise where would I get out?"

It turned out that Xiao Yun was the second in the family, and his brother Xiao Qing was already a member of the Wupin Rite Department at the age of twenty-three, and his father was the left waiter of the Second Rank Military Department.

The ancestor of the Xiao family was an official for generations, and this Xiao Yun grew up in the capital, and he was mixed up with a group of official children every day since he was a child, and he was used to being debauched, and he listened to his father want him to be an official, but he refused to do so, and his father was furious, and taught his son Xiao Yun a lesson, and ordered him not to go out, but he was said something by his eldest son Xiao Qing and his wife Zhang, and Xiao Yun came out.

Although he is only 19 years old, he has quite a lot of industry in Beijing, restaurants, pharmacies, and pawnshops, and the people he befriended are either the children of the royal family or the children of the official family, so he is also quite famous in the capital.

Xiao Yun, who is so rich, runs a famous restaurant in the capital, but he has a preference, he likes to go to those cheap shops in the eyes of the official lord to eat those breakfast for a few pennies in the early morning, so people call him 'Wonderful Boy'.

Wuchou followed Xiao Yun to a restaurant called "Immortal Building", those who watched the reception saw that their young master had come with friends, naturally all kinds of rare dishes, precious wines, flying in the sky, swimming in the water, enough to put the huge table full of nowhere to go down.

Wuchou said: "Brother Xiao, you and I have only known each other for half a day, how dare you be so gracious?"

Xiao Yun said: " I am born with a discerning eye, so cold Brother Liu only with a single clothes, but not the slightest cold, as far as I can see, Brother Liu is by no means the kind of person who can't afford to wear clothes, must be a stunt on his body, my father is a military attaché, do not hide from Brother Liu, I am also a martial arts since childhood, although not as good as those chivalrous masters in the rivers and lakes, but it can be regarded as some force, but you look at my outfit, if you only wear a single clothes on such a cold day, Xiao asked himself that he can't withstand this cold wind, I have wanted to make friends with some masters like Brother Liu since I was a child, but God always does not let me get my wish, and now I finally see one, a little prepared with some thin wine and vegetables, please don't be surprised。 ”

If such a sumptuous table can still be called thin wine and vegetables, then those daily radishes and vegetables don't know what to call it.

"Where, where, Brother Xiao is so gracious, where can he be surprised without worry?"

Xiao Yun took the wine jug, poured two glasses and said, "Brother Liu, please." ”

"Brother Xiao, please"

At present, the two of them frequently raise their glasses, gossip, and become more familiar, one is called 'Brother Wushou', the other is called "Brother Xiao", where are they still like two new acquaintances, but some are like old friends who have not seen each other for many years.
