In the blink of an eye, when it was time for Shen, the sun was shifting to the west, and the sky was gradually darkening, Lu Chang also introduced it almost, and he said to Lou Zijin and Ye Pei: "Senior brother, junior sister, I have arranged a banquet on the upper floor of Fan to catch the wind for you, and I will call the brothers to go to the lively and lively later." ”

"Okay." Lou Zijin and Ye Pei both agreed.

Fan Lou is a famous restaurant in Jingmingfang outside Donghua Gate, known as the first of the 72 restaurants in Beijing, receiving thousands of guests every day. It is not a building, but a group of buildings, with five floors facing each other, the highest building in the middle three storeys high, and each building is connected by a flybridge. The commanding height of Bianliang is not the royal building, but this private business. It is said that standing on the third floor of the Fan Tower, you can overlook the situation in the Imperial Palace, so it is quite gorgeous. It is said that Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin also watched a miscellaneous show on the Fan Tower.

Ye Pei had also heard of it in the book "Troubled Fan Lou Amorous Zhou Shengxian", but he had never been there, and this time he was very excited to hear that the senior brother was going to take her here.

A group of more than 40 of them set off in a mighty way, and as soon as they walked to the Jiuqiaomen Market, both sides of the road became lively. There are many restaurants, showing flags, Qin Le Building, Huixian Building, Pan Building, Changqing Building, Qingfeng Building...... The restaurant is next to each other, and the family is full of warblers and swallows, and the colorful buildings are happy.

When he was about to reach the end of the market, Ye Pei saw the five tall buildings next to each other, and he didn't need to guess that they must be Fan Towers. When she got closer, she saw that the gate of the Fan Tower was tied with colored satin, and each floor was set up with a mountain-shaped flower stand, with colored lanterns, and decorated with flower-shaped and bird-shaped ornaments, which was very beautiful.

When I came to the door, several bartender guys wearing tube-like turbans, purple shirts, and silk shoes and socks greeted them in front of the door. When he saw Lu Chang, he immediately stepped forward to salute, and it seemed that he also knew "Uncle Lu".

Dozens of people from the dart bureau and the business were greeted on the second floor, and Ye Pei was mixed in like an uninformed peasant woman in the countryside. She saw the wide main corridor loop on the Fan Tower, and the hollowed-out three-story building surrounded by small private rooms, and she could see the scattered seats on the first floor. Singing and dancing are dancing on the semicircular "platform" on the first floor, and there are also a lot of prostitutes who "rush" in the small private rooms around, which makes the whole Fanlou singing and music noisy, and the sheng strings are deaf and lively.

They occupy five private rooms, each with thin bamboo curtains separating each room. Lu Chang took Lou Zijin, Ye Pei, Wang Dali, Zhao Wenjie and others to sit at the main table, rolled up the bamboo curtains, so that several rooms were connected, everyone toasted each other, made fists and orders, and shouted five and six, so it was not lively.

Wang Dali and Li Ergua came to toast Lou Zijin and Ye Pei, usually Wang Dali is the best with Li Ergua except for Lu Chang. After toasting Lou Zijin, they came to Ye Pei again, and Wang Dali said, "Sister of the Ye family, my brother also toasts you." ”

Li Ergua laughed beside him and said: "Sister of the Ye family, I also toast you, I see your skills today, you are really smart!" Then he turned his head to look at Wang Dali, squeezed his eyebrows and said, "Did you say that?" ”

Wang Dali glared at him and said, "What's the matter?" I don't remember. ”

Ye Pei smiled and said, "Today is Brother Dali who asked me, or where can I get a bargain?" Come, I'll give you a glass. As he spoke, he drank the wine glass in his hand.

Wang Dali said happily when he saw it: "Cool girl, I like it!" If anyone dares to bully your sister in the future, my king will be the first to spare him! Come on, come on! Brother toast you again! As he spoke, he drank a glass of wine.

Lou Zijin walked to Ye Pei's side, took the wine glass in Ye Pei's hand, and said to Wang Dali: "Second brother Wang, I'll drink with you, my junior sister is young and can't drink, and I'm afraid I'm going to make a fool of myself and cry when I'm drunk." ”

Without waiting for Wang Dali to say anything, Ye Pei retorted: "Who said I can't drink? Who said I would cry? ”

Zhao Wenjie also came forward to toast: "Fifth Master Lou, Senior Sister Ye, I also toast the two of you, I really admire the ability of the two of you to see today!" Then he said to Ye Pei: "Senior Sister Ye, this is Fan Lou's famous 'Meishou' wine, which is not intoxicating." ”

A few people exchanged a few more greetings, and Lou Zijin couldn't stop Ye Pei forcefully in front of outsiders. After a while, a group of three or five came over to toast, Ye Pei felt that this wine did taste good, sweet and delicious, soft and not spicy, so he did not refuse, and the cup bottomed out. For more than an hour, Ye Pei drank forty or fifty glasses of wine.

Ye Pei doesn't like to drink, it's more like borrowing wine to kill her sorrows, she misses her relatives, and even misses the quietness on Qifeng Mountain. Ye Pei looked at the lively crowd in the house and felt a sense of alienation, that kind of excitement did not belong to her, it was the liveliness of men, she tried her best to please, but she still couldn't fit in like an outsider. She couldn't understand the wine they did, and many people recruited "prostitutes" to accompany her to drink, and she couldn't get used to it.

She stood against the railing, and a slight wind blew in, relieving the heat of the room for the time being. The window of the private room where they were located was facing the Donghua Gate, and they could see the palaces in the palace from a distance, and Ye Pei missed the playmates he had when he was a child.

Zhao Yingfu has ascended the throne and become the emperor of the dynasty, she may never see him again, which palace is he in now? Does he occasionally think of Cousin Ye Pei when he was a child? Is his cough and asthma getting better? Does he still have fish and shrimp allergies? And Ye Pei herself, she is already living in another world, the person named Ye Pei seems to be her, and it seems that she is no longer her at all.

This city is the capital she was familiar with when she was a child, and it is no longer the Bianliang City she was familiar with when she was a child.

Ye Pei closed her eyes and let the wind slide over her face, and she could feel the water vapor floating from the Jinshui River. She suddenly remembered secretly drinking with her cousin Cho Yoon-hee when she was a child, which was in the first month after the Spring Festival.

Zhao Yunxi didn't know where to get the lamb wine, and it was packed in a small jar, and they secretly drank it under the verandah in the garden of the Eight Princes' Mansion. The taste is slightly spicy and sweet, more fragrant than the Meishou wine drunk today, and the taste seems to be remembered by Ye Pei now.

At that time, Ye Pei was only six years old, and after drinking so much wine, his face was slightly red, slightly excited, and he had no other reaction. But Zhao Yunxi had a fever all night because he drank cold wine......

Lou Zijin saw Ye Pei standing alone on the railing, thinking that she was a little drunk, and walked over and said, "Senior sister, are you tired?" I'll send you back. ”

Ye Pei opened his eyes and looked at Lou Zijin, who once again pulled her back to reality. She wasn't drunk, but she wanted to get drunk. Ye Pei grinned, stretched out his hand to pull his senior brother, and rested his head on Lou Zijin's shoulder.

Seeing this, Lou Zijin felt that Ye Pei was really drunk, so he helped her sit down first, and then found Lu Chang and said to him: "Senior brother, I see that my senior sister is not lightly drunk, I will send her back first." ”

Lu Chang said: "Okay, we will disperse later." Your sister-in-law has arranged a house for the two of you at home, so you can go back and rest. Then he instructed the address and route, and asked Lou Zijin to leave with Ye Pei.

Lou Zijin helped Ye Pei, who was giggling non-stop, out of the gate of Fanlou crookedly, Ye Pei tricked Lou Zijin to carry her, and Lou Zijin carried her on his back. In the summer, both of them were wearing collarless gauze thin robes, and Ye Pei pressed his face against the back of Lou Zijin's neck, feeling both cold and comfortable.

Whether Lou Zijin treats her as a sister or as a fiancée, he is Ye Pei's closest person in this world. She didn't know if they would ever do it again in the future.

"If the senior brother just treats himself as a sister, he will marry his sister-in-law in the future, and he will never treat himself like this again." Thinking of this, Ye Pei had mixed feelings in her heart, and she couldn't help but shed tears, and she pressed her side face more tightly against the back of Lou Zijin's neck.

Lou Zijin noticed his junior sister's abnormal behavior, and called out softly, "Senior sister", Ye Pei did not respond, but kissed him lightly on the back of his neck with his lips.

Lou Zijin trembled, put Ye Pei down, and called out again, "Ye Pei!" ”

Ye Pei laughed hesitantly and fell into Lou Zijin's arms like a fool. Lou Zijin felt that Ye Pei was really drunk, and said to her: "Don't drink in front of outsiders in the future." ”

Ye Pei's body was soft and nodded obediently. Lou Zijin said again: "I'm tired all day today, let's go back and have a good rest." As he spoke, he picked up Ye Pei and walked south.

Ye Pei lay on Lou Zijin's back without moving or speaking, and wrapped his arms tightly around his neck. They were close to each other at this time, and their relationship was so close, but the two of them would never have imagined that when they met again many years later, it would be in front of the two armies, and the enemy and us were opposed.

The two walked silently, and in a blink of an eye, they walked out of the Suzaku Gate and came to the Longjin Bridge.
