Morning of the Empire 76: Su Shi!
Since ancient times, people have been looking for places to stay when they go out on long trips, and those that provide these places for people to stay temporarily are called inns.
Just like Boss He's Home Inn House, the location of Home Inn is not bad, although it is far away from the location of the statue of Tongtian, but it is still surrounded by the steps of the commercial street, and the flow of people gathers, and it is usually overcrowded.
After the Great Qin Empire unified the mainland, because the commercial trade became increasingly vigorous, more and more merchants traveled far to trade, and the number of demon tribes and Huns in the south who came to the mainland to settle in Xianyang, the capital of the Great Qin Empire, and deliver letters also increased, and the number of inns increased.
In the beginning, the inn only provided basic food and lodging, so that people from all over the mainland could have a place to stay, and did not provide recreational services.
When the Great Qin Empire became more and more open, the relationship with the demon clan was eased, and the Huns also began to communicate in the Great Qin Empire, and more and more demon tribes or Huns took root in Xianyang in a peaceful way, and the functions of the inn became more and more complete, and there was a wine cellar, pantry and kitchen to meet the needs of more guests.
And the environment has also begun to improve, there is a garden next to the inn, and there is a banquet hall inside and you can eat food from all over the mainland.
However, no matter how it changes, the inn is a place for people to drink and eat, which is a distinct image of the inn in people's minds.
For example, Lin Xu and Qian Yuan came to this Wangxian Tower, the place with the highest consumption in Xianyang City, and the favorite of dignitaries and nobles.
Confidence, what is confidence, the height of this Wangxian Tower is half of the statue of Tongtian, and you can look at half of Xianyang on this top floor, this is the confidence, so that Lin Xu has to sigh that the gold lord behind Wangxian Tower can do it to this extent, and I am afraid that he is not a nameless person in Xianyang.
When Lin Xu walked in, he was shocked, not only could he eat the delicacies of the demon clan and the Huns, but also there were many completely transformed demon rabbit spirits and little foxes serving tea and pouring water.
I heard that these demon clans are all working in Xianyang Wangxian Tower, they have a legal origin, and they are protected by the Great Qin Calendar, no one can let them mess around, otherwise they will be severely punished, Lin Xu had to give a thumbs up to the person who formulated the Great Qin Calendar, and he thought about it very thoughtfully, so that these little monsters would not be harmed, not only protecting the rights and interests of the demon clan, but also showing the openness of the Great Qin Empire, and the mentality of treating everyone equally!
The whole world is the people of my Great Qin, and they are subject to the methods of my Great Qin Law Calendar.
............
Qian Yuan lowered her head and said to Lin Xu dissatisfiedly: "Can you eat slowly, it's a shame!"
"Sister, I met you today, it's been eight lifetimes of blood mold, but this thing in Wangxian Tower is really delicious!"
Lin Xu picked up another piece of the delicacies of the northern demon clan, I have to say that although these demon clans are rude, this dish is simply delicious in the world.
"What do you mean to be unlucky with me, didn't I invite you to dinner? There are more people in Qixia School Palace who want to invite me to dinner,"
Qian Yuanmei glanced at Lin Xu, and at the same time stopped paying attention to Lin Xu.
Lin Xu took a serious look at Qian Yuan, this girl has a pair of crystal eyes, clear and clear, beautiful eyes, and she is definitely a beauty.
Qian Yuan also saw that Lin Xu was looking at herself, and then shook her hair, thousands of hairs were flying, and she smiled at Lin Xu and said, "What's the matter? ”
"Come on, you don't have this plate yet, it's so appealing to me!"
Lin Xu said in a slighted manner, he didn't want to deal with this woman at all, and the momentum of his ground cultivation was crushed by her.
"Beauty, uh, miss...... Anyway...... Add some food!"
Lin Xu saw that it was a little vixen who walked in, and he didn't know how to shout for a while.
This is a very beautiful fox, the whole body is fiery red, as if painted with a layer of oil paint, flashing in the light of a gorgeous luster, the body is superior, the limbs are well-proportioned, the two fleshy ears stand up with great vigor, and the snow-white eyebrows make its nose, eyes and whole face look vivid and expressive, and even a little charming.
However, this little fox is very small, not very tall, just to the position of Lin Xu's shoulder, there is a small tail behind it, and it looks particularly cute.
"You!"
Qian Yuan couldn't help but be a little angry when she saw that Lin Xu actually wanted to add vegetables.
"Since it's you treating, you won't have enough money, right?"
Lin Xu ignored her dissatisfaction, picked up the menu in the little fox's hand, and prepared to order a few more dishes.
"This, this, and this ......"
Lin Xu picked expensive points and directly turned the menu to the last few pages, not ready to save Qian Yuan money at all.
"Alright, that's all for now!"
Lin Xu returned the menu to the little fox, saw the little fox's little tail swaying from side to side, and just wanted to reach out and touch it, but he put it down in an instant, and thought to himself, this is too rude, and he will be arrested as a stranger.
"Okay!"
The little fox's voice was glutinous and sounded very comfortable.
Oh, the old man's girlish heart!
"Lin Xu, what kind of expression are you, what did you order just now?"
At this time, Qian Yuan suddenly interjected, and stood up at the same time to look at the menu.
Lin Xu urged the little fox: "Hurry up and serve the food!"
"Okay!"
The little fox quickly turned around and left, very cooperative with Lin Xu.
Seeing this, Qian Yuan was angry for a while, and sat down in place angrily.
............
The sky has entered the night, Lin Xu picked up the cup and stood at the window of Wangxian Tower, the night of Xianyang City is very beautiful, the lights are dim, the bright moon is in the sky, the night is shrouded in Xianyang, there are some commercial residences, and the lights around are not bright.
But the building of Wangxian Tower is too big, and other places are compared with it, and it is suddenly eclipsed, in the night of Xianyang, Wangxian Tower is more dazzling than the statue of the emperor.
The moon tonight is particularly round, but I don't know if this continent will not survive August 15, and I don't know if there is a Lantern Festival.
Lin Xu took a sip of wine, and when it was a full moon again, he didn't know what his eldest brother and eldest sister were doing now, as well as his dead ghost father, although he would not forgive him because of some things, but now he still hopes that he will live a happy life in the next life.
The old man's life is not easy, starting from scratch and starting the Lin family's business, maybe now he thinks that the most distressed youngest son is dead.
"I hope that people will last a long time, and they will be together for thousands of miles!"
Lin Xu whispered to himself to the moon, hoping that the boss, sister, and old man would be safe.
At this time, an old man in the window next to him smiled at Lin Xu and said, "Good sentence, young man, you picked up this article there!"
"The old man also understands poetry?"
Lin Xu looked at the old man outside the window, and he was also a little interested.
Lin Xu deliberately checked, the poems in the Qin State are different from the poems he is familiar with, but among Confucianism, there are some great Confucians who are proficient in literature and ink, Mr. Su's poem is simple and easy to understand, and catchy, Lin Xu also likes it very much.
"Well, I know a little bit about ......"
The old man said modestly, brushing his chin and long beard.
"Or, old man, come to my house and let's discuss. ”
As soon as Lin Xu heard a little understanding of the two words, he immediately understood that this old man was not simple, and he could be summed up by a little understanding, and he should also be a character in Xianyang.
Besides, the person who can climb the immortal tower should not be an idle person, the price of this dish makes Lin Xu feel distressed, but fortunately it is not Lin Xu who pays for it.
The old man said politely, "You won't disturb the little friend, right?"
Lin Xu patted his chest and said proudly: "Don't bother, you can order whatever you want, and Lin Gongzi will pay for the whole consumption today!"
The old man didn't pay much attention to Lin Xu's words, and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, Xiaoyou is interesting." ”
Lin Xu ignored the black lines on Qian Yuan's face, but she didn't get angry, she just felt that listening to the voice next door was a little familiar.
A minute later, there was a knocking sound on the door of Lin Xu's room, and Lin Xu got up to open the door for the old man.
The old man's thin face was dark, and there were a pair of bright eyes under his faint eyebrows, and some wrinkles on his face, like a twist and turn of the past.
The old man said politely, "Little friend is disturbed!"
Before Lin Xu could speak, Qian Yuan beside him shouted to the old man in surprise: "Wan Lao, you have returned to Beijing!"
Qian Yuan immediately ran over, her face was very happy, and she gave the old man a hug.
"Hey, Nuan Nuan, you're here too. ”
When the old man saw Qian Yuan, he was obviously a little surprised.
Qian Yuan took the old man's hand and said excitedly: "Yes, I have dinner here with my friends." ”
The old man looked at Lin Xu unexpectedly, and his eyes were meaningful.
Qian Yuan continued: "By the way, why did you go back to Beijing, Wan Lao, haven't you been studying outside?
"This is not the Qixia Academy...... I'll come back to help deal with it, I haven't met your grandfather yet!"
The old man looked at the girl Qian Yuan, the girl who watched her grow up, and the pampering in her eyes was undisguised,
Qian Yuan's voice said in a deep voice: "Go down to the Xue Palace! Do you know Wan Lao? Many people have died in the Xue Palace, and many senior brothers and sisters have died......
"I know, I know, this account, the bereaved families of the six countries must pay it back in person!"
The old man comforted Qian Yuan, and his eyes became fierce.
"Grandpa also told me that they won't die in vain......"
"Don't talk about these unhappy things, Xiaoyou, what you said is...... I don't know who made the verse?
The old man looked at Lin Xu kindly, I don't know if it was an illusion, Lin Xu suddenly felt that the old man's eyes suddenly became kind, just now in the window next door, the old man was just admiring himself.
"Yes, yes, yes......"
Lin Xu hurriedly narrated Mr. Su's famous poem to the old man.
The old man touched his beard and said to himself: "People are pessimistic, and the moon is cloudy and sunny!"
"This is the Song Dynasty... No, it was written by a man named Su Shi in the Song Kingdom. ”
Lin Xu just spit out a few words, and then suddenly changed his words and said to the old man.
Lin Xu had read some books about the Warring States period, the Song State was a real country during the Warring States Period, but it was just a small country, which was destroyed by the Wei State in the early Warring States period.
"Song Guo, I didn't expect this small vassal state that has not existed for a long time to have such a person, Su Shi? This person shouldn't be nameless!"
The old man said strangely, he rummaged through the historical records in his mind, but he still didn't find Su Shi, and he couldn't find any impression of his existence.
"Oh, Su Shi! He's just a butcher, his nickname is Dongpo, and the Dongpo meat he makes is the best, and there's no one in our place who doesn't eat Dongpo meat. ”
Lin Xu also found a loophole in his speech, but it wasn't a big problem, and he continued to talk nonsense, anyway, they didn't know.
If you don't understand it, I can still talk about it if you don't understand.
PS: Originally, I wanted to write Su Shi's poem as a whole into the article, but this is suspected of making up words, and I will be overheard immediately, so I feel very good,
