Chen Yuan shook his head and smiled bitterly, they were talking about that Chen Yuan, not me. raised his feet and wanted to leave, but then thought about it, no, now I'm not the same Chen Yuan.

After hesitating, a young man in a purple shirt said to him: "Brother Tai, since you have arrived at the door, why don't you go in." ”

Chen Yuan looked at him and saw that he was about 1.8 meters taller, half a head taller than himself, his eyes were bright, and he was looking at himself with a smile in his right hand with a sword inlaid with pearls and jade.

Knight-errant? This was Chen Yuan's first reaction, pointing to the second floor, and learning his name: "Brother, who are these people on the second floor talking about?" ”

The purple-shirted young man listened carefully and said, "They are discussing a man named Chen Yuan. ”

Chen Yuan looked like an ancient, and said, "No, it's Chen Yuan." ”

The purple-shirted young man was stunned for a moment, and then smiled heartily: "Since that's the case, then you have to go in." ”

"Oh?"

The purple-shirted young man squinted and said upstairs: "Some people obviously covet the Miss Dong family, but they have no choice but to be taken first, so they can only complain about the sky and others, laughing and scolding." If you can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour, shouldn't this sour grape be placed in front of him more, so that he can take a good look at how it is sour. ”

Before he finished speaking, he heard several young people on the second floor shouting: "Nonsense. ”

"This son is not rare."

"Yes, the second young master is a talent, his family is rich, he is full of wealth, and his future is immeasurable, what is that Dong Mingyan, I don't know what to do, I don't even deserve to carry shoes for the second young master."

"Smack." The second young master slapped him in the face and reprimanded, "Yan'er is also something you can talk about?" ”

The man's fart slapped in the wrong place, he was slapped, half of his face was hot, he slapped himself again, and cried: "My mouth is cheap, my mouth is cheap, the second young master should not be blamed, when what I said just now was a fart." ”

Another person was dissatisfied: "Dai Qiang, what you just said mentioned the second young master and Dong Mingyan, how can it be said that it is a fart." ”

The second young master reacted, yes, wouldn't that be a fart himself, kicking Dai Qiang far away,

"Bang." Then there was Dai Qiang's screams.

Chen Yuan laughed, this purple-shirted young man was so interesting, and a sentence made them fight among themselves. But only he knew that he was going to get out of the marriage. The battle of wills is not interesting, and when the time comes, the marriage will not be laughed out of. Prepare to leave.

The young man in the purple shirt didn't let him go, grabbed his arm, smiled, invited in, and said, "Since we met by fate, I have a treat." ”

The young man in the purple shirt has practiced martial arts, but Chen Yuan is just a scholar who has no power to tie the chicken, and there is no way to break free. Xindao, since he has a treat, let's go and experience the star-rated restaurant of Daming.

In fact, it is said to be a star, and at the first glance of entering the building, you can't see anything. The inside is very spacious, there are ten tables on the first floor, but it doesn't look very high-end, because the stools in this year are short, some are old, some are polished and translucent, and some even lose their corners, it is difficult to support the high-end, insulting the name of the first floor, and the people sitting at the dinner table are not very gorgeous, and they are similar to Chen Yuan's shabby.

It turns out that the nobles of the Ming Dynasty rarely go to the restaurant to eat, because the best chefs are in their house, they can eat whatever they want, why do they come out, not to mention the toss, there is no sound insulation in these years, the streets are noisy, and eating a meal annoys their mood, of course, going to the Qinglou is another matter.

Generally, those who come to the restaurant to eat are the children of the poor family, which not only refers to the poor, but also refers to the small landlords and small businessmen. The kind of big family with cultivation, unless it is in a hurry, rarely goes to the restaurant to eat.

At this time, a shopkeeper over fifty years old at the counter greeted him and asked with a smile: "Two guest officers, what do you want to eat?" ”

The purple-shirted young man took out a Daming treasure banknote and asked, "Is there a private room on the third floor?" ”

The shopkeeper's eyebrows smiled, and he nodded busily: "Yes, yes, please go upstairs." Then he called his men and greeted them.

Seeing Chen Yuan and them go up to the third floor, several sons on the second floor were stunned for a moment, and then saw a son's face flushed, staring at Chen Yuan. Chen Yuan saw that the boy was seventeen or eighteen years old, his eyes were unruly, and there were bird cages and other playthings next to him, looking like a second ancestor. Chen Yuan is old-fashioned, disdainful of fighting with a young man, and secretly amused.

It is on the third floor, which is beautifully furnished, and there are several small private rooms.

The young man in the purple shirt chose a private room next to the street.

In the middle of the private room is a couch, and a low table is placed in the middle of the couch, and Chen Yuan learns to sit cross-legged with the young man in purple shirt.

The purple-shirted young man smiled: "If my guess is right, the boy downstairs is probably smashing his birdcage and dice." ”

That's not it, that boy and brother rely on his own money, and often fight cocks outside. He coveted Dong Mingyan, Chen Yuan not only robbed him of the lover of his dreams, but also sat upstairs with him for dinner, how could he bear it.

He smashed the playthings beside him and shouted, "Boss, arrange a private room for the third floor of this son." ”

The boss came to inquire and said bitterly: "Li Gongzi, you already owe one hundred and twenty-eight yuan to the store, can you settle the account, the small shop is operated by the family, there are old and young, but you can't stand the toss of the son." ”

Li Ergongzi said angrily: "Nonsense, how can there be so much." ”

"Childe, I know your father well, how dare I coax you, you have been on credit seventeen times, in black and white, remember, Childe, please follow me to see the account book."

The Li family is engaged in the business of grain and vegetables, and has many cooperation with restaurants. The Li family has a big background, and Jiangning is the richest man, so he will not be short of this money. But no matter how big the family business is, it is not enough to lose. Li Ergongzi fought cocks and horses, looked for flowers and asked willows, and every time he made his father angry half to death, he had already cut the use.

Of course, if the family reduces the consumption, will Li Ergongzi have no choice? That's credit.

"Alright, alright." When Li Gongzi heard this, he hung his head in frustration, waved his hand again and again, and said dissatisfiedly, "You go back, this son often takes care of your business, will he still miss you some money." ”

Chen Yuan listened carefully to the movement downstairs, dumbfounded, but he was amazed by this purple-shirted young man, so insightful, calm, and hurried: "I haven't asked Brother Tai what to call it." ”

The young man in the purple shirt smiled and introduced himself: "In Xia Wang Jinghong, a native of Zhangping, Fujian. ”

At this time, the shopkeeper came up and placed them in a row of plates.

There are a few side dishes, and in the center is a roast duck. Two statues of wine were placed on a plate.

After waiting for the shopkeeper to go out, Chen Yuan said: "No, Chen Yuan, Brother Wang already knew just now." ”

"I'm glad I will." The purple-shirted young man said softly, took the wine bottle in his right hand, poured wine into Chen Yuan's wine glass, and then added a glass to himself.

"Brother Chen, please."

Chen Yuan was also polite: "Thank you, Brother Wang, for taking me to watch this good show today." ”

The young man in the purple shirt smiled and drank it all. Chen Yuan also drank dry, and there were many socials in later generations, and the amount of alcohol was not bad. However, the taste of this wine of the Ming Dynasty is really not good, it is very light. Chen Yuan doesn't like spirits, it's just right to light it up, it's good to get into the throat, it's good to talk and laugh, it's not drunk, how good.

Just by the window, enjoy the view of the Qinhuai River.

The lights are on.

The lights were bright, and the streets and arched bridges were full of lanterns and lit. People come and go, and it's very lively. From time to time, painting boats swim by on the river, and the red lanterns on the boats are reflected in the water.

The talented man stands on the bow of the boat, accompanied by red and powder, fighting wine and writing poems, so that he is not romantic.

Unfortunately, this peaceful night scene was immediately shattered.

"Tiqi is coming!"

An exclamation.

It was as if there was a thunderbolt in mid-air, and the bustling streets of Jiangning City were suddenly chaotic.

Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang personally set up, because he did not trust all the ministers, set up Jinyi Guard, engaged in reconnaissance, arrest, interrogation, etc., there was an edict, bypassing the criminal department, directly obeying the emperor's orders.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the "Hu Lan Prison", "Guo Heng Case", and "Empty Seal Case" were ordered to be active in the meantime. There are many killings, cool officials are rampant, and they are not tolerated by ministers and the people, Zhu Yuanzhang is afraid of being hit by a galloping horse in his later years, and beckons to each other to be careful to avoid, you must know that Ti is galloping like flying, and ordinary people are also hit in vain, and a few days ago, there was a man who was not long-eyed and broke two ribs, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

The bare-chested bare-chested scoundrel walked sideways, his triangular eyes flashed, and he squeaked like a mouse and retracted into the corner.

The vendors on both sides of the market were busy cleaning up the things that stood in the way, such as burdens, bowls, pots, stoves, spilled soup bowls, and overturned steamers.

Even those sons and daughters with heads and faces, just now they still put the folding fan behind their necks, paced unhurriedly along the street, and did not pinch the flattering smiling faces of the small merchants and vendors on the street, and at this moment they hurriedly found a shop to stand in the threshold, bowed slightly, and piled up smiling faces in the direction of the sound of horses' hooves.

Chen Yuan had watched Jinyiwei's TV and knew that Jinyiwei was lawless, but shouldn't Ji Gang, the leader of Jinyiwei, be executed by Ling Chi, why was he still so rampant, and asked curiously: "Brother Wang, what is this?" ”

Wang Jinghong's face remained unchanged, but the hand holding the wine glass was bruised, and the wine almost spilled out, and he laughed: "Brother Chen, don't you know, this is the famous Jinyiwei." ”

Wang Jinghong continued: "Taizu personally set it up, because he didn't trust all the ministers, set up a brocade guard, engaged in reconnaissance, arrest, interrogation, etc., and had an edict, bypassing the criminal department, and directly obeying him. "Hu Lan's Prison", "Guo Heng Case", and "Empty Seal Case" were all ordered by the Jinyi Banner School to be active during the period, killing a lot, and the cool officials were rampant, which were not tolerated by the ministers and the people. ”

"But today, after the Battle of Jingjing, in order to kill the descendants of Jianwen's old ministers, they recovered, they framed Zhongliang, brutalized the people, and did all kinds of evil, almost dyeing the water of the Qinhuai River red."

Chen Yuan saw that Wang Jinghong's eyes were already red, after all, he was only in his early twenties, and he was jealous and hateful. Chen Yuan knew that Jinyiwei had many eyes and ears, so he avoided getting into trouble, and hurriedly said, "Brother Wang, drink, drink." ”

Wang Jinghong realized that he was out of shape, and reluctantly drank a drink, but when he saw two figures on the street, he hurriedly apologized: "Brother Chen, there is something today, so I lost my company first." Then he hurried away.
