Volume 2 Chang'an Fire Chapter 82 Drinking Tea in the Winter Rain

Ah Liao pushed Yuwen Changqing on the ink boat, and Wujie wanted to go to Kukai Temple, and he needed to walk a waterway, so he also followed.

Yan Yunting and Lin Xiaofeng were each one by one and one horse, and they were ready to leave after saying goodbye.

"Yan Yunting, you wait."

Qing Yan suddenly jumped off the boat, ran over and handed Yan Yunting a brown token, the token was engraved with peacock carvings and the three big characters of "Peacock Tower", "You provoked King Yu, it's better not to get too close to the official family, this is the token that Bing Yan asked me to hand over to you, when you arrive in Chang'an, if you have nowhere to go, you can use this token to go to the 'Yunxiao Pavilion' to find a person called 'Ning Ruowei'." ”

"Sky Pavilion, it sounds like a very good place." Yan Yunting happily took the token, patted the horse's back with a smile, and said to Qingyan: "Little girl, why don't you go to Chang'an with me, and I will take you to see the most prosperous imperial capital of the Dayan Dynasty." ”

Qing Yan glanced at him, leaving only one sentence: "Take care of yourself on the road." Then he ran back to the ink boat.

Yan Yunting was laughing, not to mention how bright his smile was.

"It seems that Brother Yan went to Yongliang this time, and it is not without gain, such a beautiful woman is rare in the world." Lin Xiaofeng said with a smile.

"Really?" Yan Yunting said with a smile: "But I heard that the women in Chang'an are like flowers and jade, I haven't been there yet, I don't know if it's true or not." ”

"Born in a rich city, with the best rouge gouache and the best breath, there will naturally be more beauties," Lin Xiaofeng said, glancing at the peacock token in Yan Yunting's hand again, and asked:

"Brother Yan, do you know what kind of place this 'Cloud Pavilion' is?"

"I've never been to Chang'an, how would I know."

"It is the largest green building in Chang'an."

"Tut-tut......"

"Let's put it this way, all over the country, as long as there are Qinglou buildings that are ranked high, there are customers of Peacock Tower...... Brother Yan, you, Yanfu is not shallow. ”

"After you say this, I can't wait to go to this 'Cloud Pavilion' to drink flower wine."

"Hehehe......"

The two rode their horses and left the ferry.

……

……

From Qingzhou to Chang'an, take the spacious official road, according to the normal speed of horseback riding, you can arrive in one day and one night.

Yan Yunting and Lin Xiaofeng didn't have anything important, they hurried normally during the day and stayed in the hotel to rest at night. The next morning, I walked out of Qingzhou and came to the wide and rich Guanzhong Plain.

At this rate, you will arrive at Chang'an City before nightfall.

Interestingly, two large ponds were dug at each pass, and officers and soldiers who saw people who looked like refugees had to take off their clothes and wash them before they were allowed to go.

Each pass is posted with a notice of "recruiting talents", the content of which is roughly to recruit people with lofty ideals and form elite troops to defend the country;

There is a trial ground next to the notice, and there is a large knife and a curved bow outside the field, and the rules are: wielding a large knife to cut down a tree, you can get twenty taels of enlistment fee; If you can open the bow and shoot at a target fifty steps away, you can get an enlistment fee of 30 taels;

Thirty pounds of broadsword and three hundred pounds of curved bow, neither of which ordinary people can control, but even so, there are long queues of people at every pass to test, strong men with round waists, thin old men, childish teenagers, all men with hands and feet, all want to try.

If you are selected to enlist in the army, you will get twenty taels of silver, and you will not have to worry about the livelihood of an ordinary family for the whole year.

……

"Boom ......" winter thunder bursts, the sky is full of dark clouds, and it seems that this heavy rain cannot be avoided.

In order to be able to drink a sip of flower wine quickly, Yan Yunting and Lin Xiaofeng hurried up, but as soon as they entered a forest, the ......heavy rain poured down.

"It seems that God's waist is not good, and he just peed out after two farts burst." Yan Yunting wiped the rain off his face, just now they had passed by the last post station, and beyond that was Chang'an City, and now it was a green forest, and there was no place to shelter from the rain.

Lin Xiaofeng said with a smile: "It's better to hurry up and hurry up to Chang'an to drink flower wine." ”

"Good idea."

Just as the two of them were about to spur their horses, they saw a small tea stall suddenly emerge from the depths of the misty green forest.

The tea stall was very simple, with only a few wooden stakes to build a thatched hut, a few tables, a stove, and the water in the teapot was buzzing.

"Looks like we don't have to get drenched in the rain." Lin Xiaofeng said.

Yan Yunting reminded: "In the wilderness and green forest, a tea stall suddenly appeared, and nine times out of ten it is not a serious business. ”

"Don't tell me you don't dare go."

"Joke! I don't dare? To tell you the truth, what Lao Tzu is best at is black eating black. ”

The two rode to the tea stall.

There were three people in the tea stall, one was the owner of the business, and two were guests sheltering from the rain. The boss is a short and fat middle-aged man who looks very honest. The two guests wore hats, each placed their sabers on the table, and calmly drank their tea.

"The two of you are objective, please, oops...... It's raining so hard today! The owner of the tea stall greeted him with a smile and beckoned Yan Yunting and Lin Xiaofeng to take their seats:

"What do you want to eat?"

"You don't seem to have much to eat at this tea stall, do you?" Yan Yunting took off his saber and put it on the table.

"Don't look at my small stall, I can eat a lot of things, there are freshly marinated sauce beef, crispy peanuts, freshly cooked pancakes, ......" The owner of the tea stall poured tea for the two while reporting the name of the dish, and finally said: "Of course, the best thing I have here is this pot of fine 'Pu'er tea' from Yunnan, and the two of you must try it." ”

"This tea is free?" Yan Yunting asked.

The owner of the tea stall said generously: "Yes, drink it for free, drink it as you like!" ”

Yan Yunting said with a smile: "Such a fine tea in the restaurant costs at least ten taels of silver a pot, you can drink it for free here, the boss is really generous." ”

The tea stall owner stopped laughing.

"Hahaha......" Lin Xiaofeng laughed, "Brother Yan, let's hide from the rain, and there is free good tea to entertain, what are you picking on other people's bosses?" ”

He said to the owner of the tea stall again: "Boss, please cut us a plate of beef with sauce, a plate of peanuts, and two flatbreads." ”

"Okay, objectively, you later." The owner of the tea stall left with a smile.

Lin Xiaofeng picked up the teacup, raised it in front of his nose and sniffed it, and praised it again and again: "Good tea, good tea, it is really a high-quality Pu'er ......"

The owner of the tea stall and the guests at the next table saw Lin Xiaofeng raise the teacup, their eyes unconsciously glanced over, and their eyes were urgent, as if they wanted Lin Xiaofeng to drink the tea.

"Brother Yan, this tea is fragrant and mellow and free, don't you drink it?" Lin Xiaofeng raised the teacup and signaled.

"Drink, why don't you drink, I like white prostitution the most." Yan Yunting raised the teacup with a smile and touched it with Lin Xiaofeng: "!" ”

The two of them drank the tea in one gulp.

"This tea...... How can it be more intoxicating than spirits. ”

"My head is so dizzy......"

The two of them each rubbed their heads, staggered, dizzy, and finally fell on the table, as if they had fainted.
