Chapter 327: Jianghu People
The name of the main street of Jinling City was given by the emperor today, and it was given a good meaning for Fengming Street.
The width of Fengming Street is as much as ten zhang, there are many shops along the street, there are all kinds of tea shops and restaurants, it is one of the most prosperous places in Jinling City, and the atmosphere of the Shangyuan Festival can be seen here.
Most of the literati have the habit of gathering together to hold poetry meetings today, so when they walked along the street, they saw that there were scenes of impromptu poems in several restaurants.
The attention of the Shangyuan Poetry Club is high, and there are even several gentlemen in the official school who participate in it every year, one is to evaluate the poetry of talented people, and the other is to improve the reputation of the poetry club.
Most of the talented people want to make a good name in the poetry club, if they can write one or two good poems, and then sing them by the servants, they may become famous overnight.
Shen knew that he didn't have such ability, and he saw a few stalls along the street that guessed lantern riddles and gave lanterns, and wanted to go up to join in the fun, but he couldn't guess any of them, so he had to give up.
Because there was not much wine left in the wine bottle, Shen Guo planned to take this opportunity to taste the good wine called Drunken Life and Dream Death recommended by the old shopkeeper of the inn. The old shopkeeper said that it was mysterious, and it was rare to say good wine.
Let's not guess what this wine tastes like, just saying that this name is very consistent with the prosperity of Jinling.
The shops that can open shops on Fengming Street are not ordinary shops, and because this is one of the most representative places in Jinling, reflecting the image of a country, the government is very strict about the control here, and it is strictly forbidden for any small traders and hawkers to shout and sell along the street in normal times.
In Shen's eyes, such regulations make the city a little less smoky.
However, on the occasion of the Shangyuan Festival, the government not only relaxed the curfew, but also relaxed the night of supervision of small traders.
Shen Guo walked slowly along the street, feeling the prosperity of Jinling City while looking for a tavern.
After a while, Shen Jing saw a very large tavern at the end of his sight, and there were four big gilded characters written on the plaque, not drunk and not returning. In addition, there is a line of small characters written in the lower right corner of the plaque, which is the title of Yu Xin.
Shen Kuang has never heard of the name Yu Xin, but he can inscribe for the store and be hung remotely, so he is not an ordinary person.
Shen Guo didn't care about this, after all, it was more important for him whether the wine was good or not.
Before he got closer, Shen felt the liveliness of the restaurant.
The two guys who stood outside the door to greet them had indelible smiles on their faces, and when they saw another guest coming, one of them stepped forward quickly to entertain Shen Jing.
"Objective, please." The guy bowed and smiled.
The two guys acted as this façade, and they had seen all kinds of guests coming and going, so it was not unusual for Shen to be dressed in Jianghu costumes.
After the guy came up, Shen Jing said slowly, "I don't eat, I'm just here to drink."
The guy smiled when he heard this, "Okay guest officer, you can come with me."
The restaurant has three floors, covering a lot of land inside and outside.
As soon as the guy entered the door, he felt the excitement inside, and there were many people gathered in the morning, especially on the second and third floors, where the figures were crowded, and bursts of laughter were endless.
Shen Guan subconsciously looked up when he heard the sound, and there were many people crowded outside a wing room on the third floor, which seemed to be some great distinguished guests in the wing room.
Seeing Shen Jing's gaze, the guy also explained intimately: "Yu Gongzi is setting up wine again today, he is feasting a few friends, and I heard that he is discussing how to pick up the top at tonight's Shangyuan poetry meeting."
Hearing the guy say Yu Gongzi, Shen Jing subconsciously remembered the Yu Xin on the restaurant signboard, so he asked, "Is that Yu Xin Yu Gongzi?"
The guy laughed, "Exactly. The wine and character of the eldest prince Yu are well-known in the capital, and he is familiar with the capital. The people crowded outside are all in a hurry to get a tie with Yu Gongzi."
It was also because the guy saw that Shen Guo was not a local, so he had this explanation, otherwise as a native of Jinling, who would not know Yu Xin.
Shen Kuang thought deeply when he heard this, and he wanted to come here Yu Xin is also a poet.
After a while, the guy led Shen Kuang to the counter, and the guy asked Shen Kuang what kind of wine he wanted, and Shen Kuang bluntly said that he wanted to die of drunkenness.
The guy took the wine bottle handed over by Shen Kuang, and politely asked Shen Kuang to find a vacant seat and wait for a while. Then he took the wine bottle to another running guy, and after explaining the matter, he said goodbye to Shen Jing and continued to go outside to receive him.
There were too many people on the third floor, but most of them were blocked out, thinking that they were all coming for Yu Xin's fame.
Shen Kuang had nothing to do, and looked up in that direction.
In the Great Wei Dynasty, there were also literati poets, but they were far less widely respected than those of the Southern Liang.
Great Wei Shangwu, Southern Liang Chongwen, the two countries have different atmospheres, but each has its own good.
While Shen was waiting, a young drinker who was a little disheveled suddenly came over coldly.
The young drinker had a flask in his hand, leaned over and sat down casually.
Seeing this, Shen Guan looked at the other party, and the young drinker glanced at his gaze and took the initiative to smile and accosted, "Brother Tai is also interested in the wine party upstairs?"
Shen Guo glanced at the young drinker slightly, quite a bit bohemian.
Shen Jing just shook his head: "Not interested."
After Shen finished speaking, the young drinker first brushed the long hair in front of his eyebrows behind his ears, and then introduced himself with a smile: "In Xia Huang Jiulang, it is abrupt."
Shen Jing said softly, "Sit down."
Although Huang Jiulang said that he was abrupt, he was still very invisible in his movements, Huang Jiulang handed the wine jug in his hand to Shen Kuang and wanted Shen Kuang to taste it too. Shen Guo raised his hand and refused, signaling that the wine he wanted would come in a while.
When Huang Jiulang found out, he took back the wine jug and took a few sips of it, and after a while, Huang Jiulang said, "Haven't you asked your godbrother for your name?"
Although this Huang Jiulang has some self-familiar meaning, but in the tradition of reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, Shen Kuang said lightly, "Jiang Suspicion."
Huang Jiulang nodded and smiled, "If Brother Jiang comes to the capital to seek a future, the eldest prince of Yu Xinyu can still make friends."
Shen Jing heard the words and said, "Is there a saying in this?"
Huang Jiulang said with a smile: "At first glance, Brother Jiang is a foreigner, and in this Jinling, there are few people who don't know the name of the eldest prince Yu."
After saying that, Huang Jiulang saw that Shen was not ready to talk, so he continued to explain: "The Yu family has passed down the family with poetry and books, and there are seven generations of talents, and five generations have the reputation of anthologies. His father, Lord Yu Shu, is even more noble as the secretary of the court, and also has the big sacrificial wine of the four halls of government and school, so the Yu family is also a famous and prominent family in the capital. However, this youngest son Yu Xin is an outlier, Yu Xin's literary style is not inferior to Fan Yun, Xie Wei and others, but in addition to his favorite articles, Yu Xin is also addicted to martial arts, so Yu Xin has made many friends. I see that Brother Jiang has an extraordinary appearance and wants to cultivate a lot, so this young man is probably willing to make friends."
After Huang Jiulang finished speaking, he raised his head and took a sip of wine to moisten his throat, and Shen said, "Bother Brother Huang to answer, when I came down to the capital, I just admired the prosperity here, and I just came to take a look, not to seek fame."
Huang Jiulang glanced at Shen Jing when he heard this, his eyes moved slightly, and then he smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay, making friends and making good connections is also a beautiful conversation. This explanation is nothing more than some saliva, and Brother Jiang doesn't need to care."
While the two were talking, the guy who had just gone to drink came back with Shen Jing's wine bottle.
Full of five catties of wine, Shen Kuang took the wine bottle and opened the stopper and smelled it, the taste was really not bad, but the price was not cheap, a full hundred taels of silver, and Shen Kuang was still the cheapest one he chose.
Shen felt distressed when he paid for it, and if he knew that it was so expensive, he wouldn't drink it.
After that, Shen Kuang and Huang Jiulang said goodbye and left after paying.
Huang Jiulang nodded in greeting, got up and hugged Shen Kuang, and met again.
When Shen Guo was paying on the counter, there was a commotion on the third floor, and he and the shopkeeper looked together, and it turned out to be the sons in the wing room who walked out of it.
At present, there are a lot of guests crowded in the corridor, but fortunately, Yu Xin and the three sons around him have family guards to follow them to open the road on both sides, so they can't be crowded.
A group of four people, all of whom are beautiful sons.
Even in this twilight winter, they also held a folding fan and a lupine scarf in their hands, and they looked really handsome.
That is, there are no girls in this restaurant, otherwise such a son's trip would attract a large number of women.
The shopkeeper of the restaurant looked up a few times and grinned, these four sons are all mobile money banks in his eyes.
The shopkeeper was stunned for a while, but Shen Jing reminded him to come back to his senses.
He turned his head to look at Shen Jing and smiled, took the one hundred taels of silver handed by Shen Jing and said, "Master Mo is like jade, the son is romantic, and you are not bad, little brother."
Shen Kuang didn't expect that even this shopkeeper could chant two lines of poetry at will, so Shen Kuang also said politely: "The shopkeeper's youth should be the same."
After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled, although they were polite words, but they were pleasing to the ear.
Upstairs, Yu Xin and a few people finished drinking and thought about where to refill the glass later, the poetry meeting in the evening was still long, and this good time could not be wasted.
Yu Xin looked around and greeted the people around him, and then he turned his head and said to the three brothers: "I don't dare to go to the Qinhuai River, otherwise I won't want to enter the house."
Among the four, one of them is named Yan Qingshan, from the Yan family in the capital, and he is also a son of a Confucian family in Nanliang, but he is also like Yu Xin, who does not abide by etiquette and law, and also has times of debauchery.
In fact, the four of them are all like this at the moment, otherwise they wouldn't be able to get together.
Yan Qingshan listened to the noise around him and Yu Xin's words, and said a little listlessly, "Hey, it's boring."
Yu Xin also said helplessly when he heard this: "No way, my father, you don't know, if I swagger today, the four of us won't have good fruit to eat."
The four of them said as they went downstairs, feeling that they would have to wait for a few hours to come.
After a while, Xie Si on the side suddenly said, "Brothers, why don't we go in disguise and sneak?"
Xiao Chengye, who was walking last, quickly stepped forward when he heard this, hugged Xie Si and Yan Qingshan's shoulders and echoed, "I think this attention is good, let's go sneaky, don't make a noise."
After Xiao Chengye finished speaking, the three of them all looked at Yu Xin, who was slightly forward, and Yu Xin gritted his teeth when he saw this, and said, "I... No problem."
After that, the four of them hit it off, and they had to go back and change their clothes and then rush to the Qinhuai River.
However, when he went downstairs, Xie Si, who looked around, accidentally caught a glimpse of Shen Jing who was checking out, wearing a green shirt and a long sword and wine bottle at his waist, and he looked like a proper and chic Jianghu person.
Xie Si and the others knew that Yu Xin loved to make friends with Jianghu people, so Xie Si pushed Yu Xin's shoulder and pointed to Shen Guo in front of the counter and said, "Brother Yu, that brother is not a simple Jianghu person at first glance."
Xie Si spoke, and the other three also looked over there, and the Shen situation in a green shirt not only stood out in the crowd, but also had an indescribable Jianghu atmosphere.
Yu Xin boasted that he had seen a lot of masters in the rivers and lakes, but this was the first time he had such a feeling, and looking at his back, the other party seemed to be a peer who was almost the same age as him.
Yan Qingshan also felt that it was unusual when he looked at the back, so he said, "Xu is a disciple of a great sect."
Xiao Chengye shook his head and said, "I feel more like a swordsman walking alone in the rivers and lakes, tsk, really chic."
Seeing that Shen was about to leave, Yu Xin stopped saying nothing and wanted to stop him when he walked quickly, and Xiao Chengye and the others were also curious, so they all followed quickly.
As for the rest of the people who were trapped in the corridor, they were sent away by the four guards.
