The first rays of morning light shone on the earth, and a series of crisp and melodious and penetrating iron plate percussions echoed in Jiying Alley, accompanied by a loud chanting.

"The time has come, the morning light is faint, the day is clear, and there is haze by the river. It's cold in the morning and evening, so you need to prepare a jacket......"

Wei Chen rubbed his sleepy eyes, listened carefully to the singing outside the house, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

"Five more don't need Yuan Rong newspaper, a piece of iron Zheng Zheng from the door." Obviously, the fifth watch day has arrived, and Toutuo, who is in charge of this block, has come to carry out a wake-up service.

Toutuo reported that this set originated in Bianjing, and then spread all over the north and south of the river, Wei Chen has also heard it a few times in Jiangning, Yangzhou and other places, but it has not been heard in Jiying Lane.

When the sound of dawn faded away, Bianjing City, which had been silent all night, slowly became alive.

When Wei Chen packed up and walked out of the house, Zhuang Jun had already set up the stakes and spit it out in the yard.

Seeing this, Wei Chen couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, the teacher was so old, and he actually got up earlier than a young man like himself, so he hurriedly joined in and started today's morning exercise.

With the practice of a pillar of incense and the routine practice of a pillar of incense, it was already close to the hour when the master and apprentice finished their work.

"Goo~~"

Hearing the protest from Wei Chen's stomach, Zhuang Jun smiled, beckoned, and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to taste the breakfast in Bianjing City." ”

After a simple freshening, the master and apprentice went out, at this time, Bianjing City gradually woke up and became noisy, and the sound of rolling noodles and remaking in the oil cake shop on the street was extremely clear, which also made Wei Chen feel even more hungry.

On the street, the peddlers who carried the cart and carried the burden walked through the alleys, shouting along the way, Zhuang Jun found a little er who carried the burden of food, asked the direction of his store, and took Wei Chen to find the breakfast shop under the guise of a big "food".

This breakfast shop is opened under the attic of the street, the shop is not big, only five tables, but looking at the food box that is lifted out like flowing water, you can know how popular this breakfast is with the Bianjing family.

Zhuang Jun took Wei Chen into the store and found an empty table to sit down.

Seeing that a guest arrived, the guy came over to greet with a smile: "The guest officer looked at Miansheng, like he was here for the first time!" ”

Zhuang Jun smiled and said, "Our master and apprentice only moved from Jiangning yesterday. ”

"Yo, that's to congratulate the two of you on your housewarming." Xiao Er smiled and clenched his fists, and pointed to a row of bamboo signs hanging behind the counter: "Our store is the best at making cakes, as well as all kinds of food, a variety of soups, what do you want to use?" ”

Wei Chen's master and apprentice followed Xiao Er's point, and saw that each brand had different foods written under it, and the price of each item was clearly marked.

There are seven or eight kinds of cakes alone, such ......as baked cakes, soup cakes, cooking cakes, ring cakes, sugar cakes, shortbreads, etc., as well as steamed buns, flat food, wontons, and so on.

Wei Chen has lived in Da Zhou for two years, and naturally knows that the so-called cake in Da Zhou is actually a general term for pasta, for example, soup cake is noodle soup, and the original name of cooking cake is steamed cake, that is, steamed steamed bread......

Zhuang Jun ordered two bowls of soup cakes and a basket of steamed buns, and considering Wei Chen's appetite, he ordered five more cooking cakes.

Every time Wei Chen finished his work, he was like a starving ghost reincarnated, and in the blink of an eye, he swept away the food on the table without leaving a piece of armor.

"Eat slowly, don't choke."

Zhuang Jun smiled heartily, and quickly called for another basket of steamed buns, which will fill Wei Chen's stomach.

"Thank you for your care, twenty-two wen, the guest official came for the first time, and the shopkeeper said that he would count twenty wen." The guy spread out one palm, still smiling.

Zhuang Jun, who was picking his teeth, waved his hand, signaling that he had no money, and asked Xiao Er to find Wei Chen to go.

Xiao Er turned his head and saw Wei Chen, who had a young face, and felt a little apprehensive.

Seeing Wei Chen happily take out twenty copper plates from his waist, Xiao Er breathed a sigh of relief and re-bloomed a full smile: "Thank you Gongzi for taking care of you, there will be a period in the future." ”

On the way back, the morning sun was already hanging high, and the street was much more lively.

There are merchants from the Western Regions who lead camels, there are merry scholars who shake folding fans, there are small merchants and hawkers who sell along the street, there are everyone who rides a sedan chair, there are monks who carry baskets, and there are idlers in the streets and alleys who listen to the songs......

Men, women, old and young, Shinong, industry and commerce, three religions and nine streams, all gathered on the streets of this Bianjing City, Wei Chen looked at this scene of peace and prosperity, and couldn't help it.

"This is the style of the first city in the world!"

After breakfast, Wei Chen and Zhuang Jun did not go directly to Sheng's house, but went back to their own courtyard.

They have come all the way, and it is reasonable that they should recuperate for a while, and first adapt to the water and soil climate of Bianjing, and then say, this is not a shelf, but a necessary move in line with Zhuang Jun's identity.

Sheng Hong has been in the officialdom for many years, so he naturally understands this truth, except for sending people to give gifts and greetings every day, there is not a word urging Zhuang Jun to go to Sheng's house to give a lecture.

As for Wei Chen, he and the Sheng brothers have been walking around Bianjing for the past few days, but no locals have taken them, so I always feel a little less interesting.

"If only Zhong Huai was here." Wei Chen thought of his friend Gu Tingye and couldn't help but sigh.

During their annual examination in Jiangning, Gu Tingye took care of the property left by Old Man Bai and returned to Bianjing on his own.

But in April, Gu Tingye had an awkward quarrel with his family, ran away from home in a bad mood, and went to study at the White Deer Cave Academy in Jiangxi alone, just passing by Wei Chen and his party who entered Beijing.

Otherwise, if a few people can get together in Bianjing, Gu Tingye, a famous stubborn master in Bianjing, will definitely be a good tour guide.

Half a month after coming to Bianjing, Zhuang Jun, who had taken care of his body, finally decided to officially start the class, and Wei Chen also ended his leisurely idle life.

Early in the morning, after the morning exercise, after breakfast, Zhuang Jun rode on a donkey, Wei Chen led in front, and the master and apprentice went straight to the Sheng Mansion in the depths of Jiying Lane.

The door of Sheng Mansion was open, Sheng Hong led his two sons to wait outside the door, and when he saw Zhuang Jun coming, Sheng Hong asked his sons to pay a big salute to Zhuang Jun.

After the ceremony, Sheng Hong saw Zhuang Jun nodding, and happily led Zhuang Jun towards the family school that had already been cleaned up.

Since Sheng Changfeng turned back under the urging of Wei Chen and passed the county exam, Sheng Hong has become more and more confident in Zhuang Jun's teaching ability - the next disciple is so powerful, let alone Zhuang Jun himself?

Such a good teacher naturally can't be wasted, so Sheng Hong respectfully discussed with Zhuang Jun in advance, in addition to Sheng Changbai and Sheng Changfeng, several girls from the Sheng family can also come over to audit, of course, except for the youngest seventh.

On the way to the family school, Sheng Changbai silently walked to Wei Chen's side and whispered: "Xingyun, in addition to my sisters today, the little grandfather of the Qi family will also come to audit. ”

Wei Chen almost subconsciously asked, "Little grandfather, but Qi Heng Qi Yuanruo?" ”

Sheng Changbai was slightly stunned: "What, Xingyun has also heard of the name of this little grandfather?" ”

"A little heard, a little heard." Wei Chen snorted, and there was already a strong interest in his heart.

I want to see how handsome the most beautiful man in Bianjing, who fascinates the daughters of the Sheng family, looks!
