The road to the workshop is not short or long.

Chen Changsheng looked carefully for a long time, and saw that the weeds on the side of the road had changed, but fortunately, this road had always been there.

The same is true of people.

It's not as lively at dusk, but there's always that leisure.

The restaurant stands on the edge of the bridge, and there are many drinkers in the tavern at dusk.

Some of them sat under the tree outside the restaurant and chatted, some sat in the restaurant and drank heartily, and some hung their heads, as if they had encountered such a frustration.

Xiao Er greeted attentively, and when he saw a person stepping into the restaurant, he hurriedly greeted him, and at first glance this person was a little raw, thinking that maybe it was a foreigner.

"Guest officer, please."

Chen Changsheng glanced at Xiao Er, it was a few years in the blink of an eye, and now this Xiao Er has a beard on his face, and his voice is much rougher.

Chen Changsheng raised his head and looked over, but saw that a pair of pen and ink had been hung on the wall of the restaurant at some point, which was the one he had left for Xiao Liu.

Chen Changsheng paused for a moment and asked, "Have you changed the shopkeeper again?" ”

Xiao Er paused after hearing this, and then asked: "Now my shopkeeper's surname is Fei, if it is placed in the old scene, the shopkeeper of this restaurant is surnamed Zhang, but I don't know when the guest officer last came." ”

Chen Changsheng looked at him and said, "When Xinglong was in the second year, Chen came once, and you were there at that time. ”

Xiao Er immediately recalled, but this made him a little difficult, and now he has been prosperous for eight years, and he really can't remember the people and things six years ago.

Xiao Er didn't dare to lie, and apologized: "Ouch, guest officer, I'm really sorry, it's been too long at this time, and now the little one can't remember it, and I hope the guest officer will forgive me." ”

"Just casually, I don't mean to blame you."

Chen Changsheng smiled, and then asked, "Qiuyue Brew, is there still one?" ”

Xiao Er shook his head after hearing this, and said, "I'm really sorry, there are still remnants of other wines, and this autumn moon brew ......."

Chen Changsheng nodded and said, "I'm tired of Xiao Er to go and talk to your shopkeeper, and say that someone came to get the agreed wine for the coming year." ”

Xiao Er was a little puzzled, but he didn't ask much, and then agreed to go to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper Fei, who was counting the balance in the wine shop, didn't react for a while when he heard Xiao Er talk about it.

"Wine for the coming year?"

Shopkeeper Fei frowned and asked, "What else did that person say?" What does it look like? ”

"He also said that he came here in the second year of Xinglong, and as for the appearance, ......"

Xiao Er said: "I look very elegant, wearing a green shirt, like a teaching gentleman." ”

Shopkeeper Fei immediately reacted when he heard this.

"It's him......"

Shopkeeper Fei thought that this person would not come again.

He instructed Xiao Er to take out a jar of autumn moon brew stored in the storehouse.

"I'll go myself."

Shopkeeper Fei said.

Xiao Er nodded, and then went to greet the other guests.

Shopkeeper Fei came to the main hall with wine, and saw the gentleman in a green shirt at a glance.

Chen Changsheng saw him walking towards this place, and between his eyes, a slight smile appeared on the face of Shopkeeper Fei.

But when he got closer, he was shocked.

This man......

It hasn't changed at all!!

Shopkeeper Fei didn't know if it was his illusion or because of something, but the person in front of him seemed to be the slightest bit different from what he remembered.

"I haven't seen Shopkeeper Fei for a long time." Chen Changsheng said.

Shopkeeper Fei came back to his senses and hurriedly said: "The guest officer asked me to wait, when I said that I would come to pick it up, six years have passed in a blink of an eye." ”

"It's Chen who is late." Chen Changsheng said with a smile.

Shopkeeper Fei sat down, and then put the altar of Qiuyuefang on the table.

After sitting down, we started chatting.

"Speaking of which, Mr. doesn't seem to have changed at all."

"Hasn't it changed?"

Chen Changsheng thought for a while and said with a smile: "It's just that the appearance hasn't changed much, there is nothing immutable in the world." ”

Shopkeeper Fei nodded and said: "Mr. is right, after turning my head for so many years, I have gray hair on my head, and my mind is not as careful as it was at the beginning." ”

Chen Changsheng said with a smile: "Not necessarily, doesn't the shopkeeper still remember what happened at the beginning, it means that he just looks a little older." ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Shopkeeper Fei laughed, and then tore off the seal and poured wine for Mr.

Chen Changsheng tasted it, and the taste was a little different from the original, so he asked, "Is this autumn moon wine improved?" ”

"No, I didn't."

Shopkeeper Fei shook his head and said: "It's that the river water is different, the flood since a few years ago, although it did not endanger Qiuyuefang, but the river in some places has been washed away, and after the merge comes in, the taste is a little worse, this thing... It really can't be helped. ”

Chen Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If this is the case, then there is no way to do it. ”

"Excuse me, sir."

Chen Changsheng waved his hand, this was not a big deal, he turned his head to look at the pen and ink on the wall, and asked, "I remember that when I came last time, there didn't seem to be this pen and ink in the restaurant." ”

Shopkeeper Fei turned his head to look, then stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. really has a good memory, this painting was indeed hung later." ”

"The former shopkeeper of the restaurant beckoned Fei to hang it back, saying that this painting has a miraculous effect, I didn't believe it at first, who knew that after hanging it back, the business of the restaurant was much better, so I never took it off again."

Shopkeeper Fei continued: "Speaking of which, Mr. seems to be an old acquaintance with Shopkeeper Zhang. ”

Chen Changsheng nodded and said, "Indeed, how is he doing?" ”

Shopkeeper Fei thought for a while and said: "It doesn't seem to be going well after he comes back, because he picked up a life at the border pass and came back, but now he is in charge of Xiangren, he was the army of the border pass at the beginning, and after he came back, he only had to change his appearance, but he also lost his household registration because of this." ”

In order not to affect his wife and children, he can only pretend not to know him on weekdays, only doing some casual work, barely eating, and his life is not good......"

Chen Changsheng was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and asked, "I remember that he sold this restaurant to you at the beginning, and it stands to reason that all the money should have been left to his wife and children, why did he live such a bad life?" ”

"It's a long story......

Shopkeeper Fei sighed and said: "At the beginning, the officials of Anning County from top to bottom were all changed, after King Xiang quelled the rebellion, he let Xiangren be the master. ”

"He raided his house on the grounds that he was the army of the old scene, so that his wife and children could only survive by selling some cooking cakes in the shop, and I often received some help, so I could barely make do with these years."

Chen Changsheng frowned after hearing this, and asked, "It's so desperate that even a county has to be replaced?" ”

"Who's to say it's not......"

Shopkeeper Fei shook his head and sighed, and said: "But now there is no way, when King Xiang waved his knife south, I don't know how many people he killed, the sword is light and bloody, everyone is in danger, who dares to have the idea of resisting, it can only be like this." ”
