The weather after the light snow is not too cold, the weather is already sunny, plus the old thing and Chang'an have long been in Dingzhou, the Northern Wei Dynasty for the big cadres to buy a coarse cotton robe, although it is very ordinary, but it is warm, and keep hurrying, there are already fine beads of sweat on the body.

Finally, when it was almost time to eat, the old thing and Chang'an came to the north gate of Daqian, looking at the spacious vermilion gate and the strong and wide city wall, it was really a great country.

"Wow, what a magnificent, old thing, is this the capital of the Great Qianguo you said?"

Chang'an stood at the north gate and watched as many rich people in bright clothes and brocade robes watched the city guards leave under the respectful gaze of the city guards; there were also ordinary people and shouting peddlers and pawns bargaining; there were also some idle young people who were like ruffians and hooligans nodding and bowing their heads and waists with the city guards; and there were many rangers with swords and swords hurrying by. Anyway, it's a bustling scene, so it's not lively.

At this time, Chang'an, a young man, kept looking around, and was very curious about all kinds of things.

"I said old thing, why don't you go to Yanjing, the national capital, if you took me all over the eight states of the Northern Wei Dynasty, I don't know if there is such a grand capital there. Chang'an raised his head and asked the old thing, and saw the dust on the old thing's newly replaced coarse cloth clothes, so he dusted the old thing with his hand, and complained silently in his heart that the new clothes didn't know what to do.

The old thing looked at Chang'an, who asked him, and kicked Chang'an's ass with a smile, "What is there to go to in that broken place, go, I'm hungry for the teacher, I'll take you into the city to buy roast chicken to eat." ”

As soon as Chang'an heard that he could eat delicious food later, he hurriedly pulled the old thing into the city happily, and forgot what he had just asked the old thing.

The old thing shook his head, knowing that Chang'an saw that his demeanor had changed slightly when he asked just now, and then he broke up, so he didn't continue to ask, and secretly said Chang'an's little ghost.

Chang'an pulled the old thing and ran in front, thinking that the old thing must have something sad. I blamed myself for mentioning it a lot, and they all said that borrowing wine can eliminate sorrows, and let the old things drink more later.

After entering the city, the eyes of Chang'an on both sides of the street are almost gone, there are stinky tofu, steamed buns, sugar gourds, rouge gouache, cloth and silk, there are rice shops, there are taverns, there are teahouses, and the restaurants in some places are even stranger, and many women are dressed like flowers.

On the way to Daqian, Chang'an has of course walked through a lot of lively cities, but Chang'an feels that he still likes the capital of Daqian the most, that is, he has a familiar feeling, as if something makes him very close.

The old thing looked at Chang'an with a smile and asked, "Do you like the capital?" ”

Chang'an replied casually: "I like it very much, as if there is something here that makes me very close, just like home." ”

Hearing this, the old thing laughed even more, and sure enough, it was not wrong.

"Gollum. ”

After walking for a long time, I don't know whether it was the hungry insects in my stomach that were hungry by the food on the side of the road, or the smell of rice in the air that aroused my appetite when I arrived at the meal, Chang'an's stomach screamed uncontrollably.

"Old thing, I'm hungry. Chang'an turned around and said pitifully.

The old thing laughed and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to the restaurant to eat roast chicken." ”

Hearing the roast chicken, Chang An swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva unconsciously, and said a little reluctantly: "Old thing, forget it, let's save some silver, just buy two buns to eat." ”

The old thing patted Chang'an's head: "The teacher said that if you want to eat roast chicken, you will eat roast chicken, rest assured, eat it openly." There are still people in this big Qianjing capital who owe money to Master, and we won't be short of money after we finish our debts. ”

Chang An stood on tiptoe in disbelief and touched the old thing's head and said, "Huh...... I don't have a fever, why are you talking nonsense, old thing, aren't you sick?

The old thing was so angry that Chang'an laughed, opened Chang'an's hand and scolded with a smile: "You little bastard, you can't expect to be a good teacher." Otherwise, why are we going all the way to do it, do you really think it's sightseeing?"

Chang'an disdainfully 'cut' a sound, "Then you say, what kind of business is it for you to take me to visit the eight states of Great Wei, why don't you come to the capital directly?"

The old thing pretended to be embarrassed and scratched his head and said: "Practicing swords, practicing swords, two different things, don't match." ”

It's practicing swords again, practicing a hammer's sword, seeing that the old thing is looking around looking for branches and preparing to play peerless swordsmanship, this capital people come and go and say that the old thing is their own master, it's not ashamed.

Chang An patted his forehead and hurriedly pulled up the old thing, "Master, don't make trouble, ask for debts, go, of course I believe your words." ”

The old thing squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "That's not it, can the master lie to you, wait until the master wants to pay the debt to buy you a big iron sword, and a swordsman without a sword can be a swordsman." ”

Chang'an muttered in his heart: What a sin it is to anyone who owes money to the old thing, and the poor people who see the old thing are confused, and they only know that they have come to collect debts from the whole Northern Wei Dynasty, and they are too unconscionable.

The old thing led Chang'an to the restaurant, smelled the aroma of wine, and licked his lips, this dry wine has not been drunk for many years. Just let Chang'an eat again, it is the time to grow the body, and you may not be able to lose.

Over the past year, Chang'an's sword heart has basically been sharpened, and after seeing the Tianmen River and Sword Pavilion later, the basic sword heart will be sharpened, anyway, the old thing himself is already very satisfied with the master, and there is no need to let Chang'an sleep with him anymore, and it is still necessary to live a good life.

In Wang Ji Restaurant, it is not overcrowded when the meal is ordered, but it can be regarded as a prosperous business.

Hu Fei and Qi Hong drank tea and peeled peanuts on the table, munched melon seeds, and there were four tables around them full of Jiang Gang brothers chatting and laughing with gags, without eating or drinking, obviously people were waiting for people yet.

"Why did this old man go, he waited for a long time to drink, grinding and chirping, my cheeks chewed peanuts and it hurt. Qi Hong complained and looked at the door as no one came in as he threw the peeled peanuts into his mouth.

Hu Fei agreed: "Lao Fei is good at everything, but it's too grinding, every time he drinks, he drags on, and then I have to give him a drink and let him crawl back." ”

After a while, someone came in, giving Qi Hong's eyes a bright spot, but unfortunately not, it was an old man with a child who came in, and it is estimated that the grandfather took his grandson to the restaurant, and it seems that he should be from a foreign country with his luggage.

Chang'an entered the restaurant and saw five or six tables of big men with rolled sleeves and exposed arms, and he was a little cringe, and couldn't help but lean towards the old thing.

When Xiao Er saw someone coming, he hurriedly beckoned the old man and Chang'an to take a seat, I have to say that Xiao Er is not a snob.

"Xiao Er, serve a pot of wine, the whole roast chicken, and a few more side dishes. The old thing led Chang'an to a seat.

"Okay!" Xiao Er wiped the table, saw that Chang'an saw that those big men were a little cowering, and specially whispered to comfort: "Don't be afraid, the people sitting over there are Hu Ye and Qi Ye and their subordinates, those two masters and Fei Ye in the Liu Mansion of the Wantong Chamber of Commerce are all lifelong friends, and they are frequent visitors to our side, not only will there be no trouble, but they will also help our restaurant, just eat with peace of mind." ”

The old thing nodded with a smile and said, "The child is afraid of life, thank you, little brother." ”

Xiao Er took a rag and put it on his shoulder, "You're welcome, the two of you will drink some tea first, and the wine and food will arrive later." ”

After Xiao Er left, the old thing looked at Chang'an and laughed: "What's the matter? ”

After saying that, the old thing didn't forget to pat his chest, looking like he was relieved that I was there, but Chang'an didn't pay attention to the old thing.

After listening to what Xiao Er said, Chang'an tilted his head and looked at a group of big men making noise, and suddenly he was not afraid, thinking that if he had three or five such friends in the future, it would be very good and envious.

Thinking that I am twelve years old, but I don't even have a good friend, I can't help but feel a little depressed, and I rely on the old thing every day.

Not long after Xiao Er left the old thing, a person came to the door, followed by seven or eight junior brothers, one of whom shouted loudly: "Xiao Er, where is Master Hu and Qi Ye, take me down." ”

Xiao Er hurriedly stepped forward to greet the hippie smiling face who stepped forward to lead the way, "Master Fei is here, the second master has been waiting for a long time, come, please come here." ”

Qi Hong, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, kept paying attention, and when he heard Fei Xiong's subordinates calling, he saw it, and beckoned to Fei Xiong: "I said Old Fei, when can you be on time once, I am hungry with Lao Hu's heart." ”

Fei Xiong hurriedly apologized with a smile, "Two brothers, it's not that brothers are not authentic." You also know that there are too many things behind me with the young master, and I always need to get things done before I can come out. ”

Fei Xiong said as he took out a gold ingot of ten taels from his arms, which was equivalent to one hundred taels of silver, and as for the subordinates behind him, he was greeted by the Jiang Gang brothers brought by Qi Hong and Hu Fei when they just entered the door.

Hu Fei gave a thumbs up and praised: "Young Master Liu is generous, but Brother Fei doesn't need you and Young Master Liu to break the bill today, this meal for our brothers to be the east, let the brothers drink openly." ”

Xiao Er saw that everyone was together, and he had a good eye to serve wine and food, and filled several tables one after another.

"Hey, hey, hey, what kind of wine is this?" Qi Hong asked as he called Xiao Er, who was about to leave.

Xiao Er said confusedly: "Master Qi, this is not the old daughter red that your three masters often drink!"

Qi Hong said several times in a row, "Go and go, go and go" like pouring beans, "I'm tired of drinking that thing, give your family's best twenty-year-old Huadiao wine to the master." ”

Xiao Er asked in a low voice: "Master Qi, is it at every table?"

Xiao Er didn't dare to make a mistake, who didn't have the strength to have something in the restaurant in the capital, and Wang Ji Restaurant was famous in the capital for its more than 20-year-old Huadiao wine, which was neither expensive nor cheap, and no one could afford to drink 221 pots, and anyone could drink it openly.

Qi Hong raised his head and smiled: "What's the matter, my brothers in the Jiang Gang and the brothers in the Liu Mansion can't afford to drink." ”

Xiao Er nodded hurriedly and said with a smile: "How can it, the little one has no other meaning." It's just to make sure, it's good to serve wine here, so as not to snub you with a fork. ”

Qi Hong threw a piece of broken silver to Xiao Er, "Hurry up, it's slippery, the master is dying of hunger." ”

"I'll be here soon, everyone, wait a minute. Xiao Er took the reward and ran down with a smile, but he couldn't do it.

After speaking, Qi Hong didn't forget to stand up and said: "The brothers of the Jiang Gang, today they have all their strength to entertain the brothers of the Liu Mansion, if you let anyone stand out, don't say that they are the brothers of my Jiang Gang, shame." Today, Lao Hu and I have made a round for everyone. ”

"Hahahaha, Qi Ye Hu Ye is atmospheric. ”

"Brothers, it's dry today. ”

"Look at the way you haven't seen the world, it's just twenty years of flower carving. ”

"I don't believe that your grandson is willing to drink. ”

"We haven't drunk it, but we'll pretend. ”

"Haha......ha

Immediately, the two sides were noisy and joking, knowing that not all of them drank this little wine.

Fei Xiong picked peanuts into his mouth and said, "I said Lao Hu, what kind of wind is this blowing, didn't you say that I should be the east." And these brothers are rough men, according to their cow sucking water, I guess they will have to spend a lot of my gold ingots. ”

Hu Fei patted his waist, "Don't worry, Brother Fei, we don't lack this money now, you used to entertain our brothers, and this time our brothers will also be rich people to show you." ”

Fei Xiong pointed his finger at the bottom of the table, lowered his voice and said, "Old Hu, you give your brother a secret, how much did you earn this time?"

Hu Fei and Qi Hong looked at each other and smiled, and drank all the wine in their glasses.

Hu Fei said with a smile: "Brother Fei, it's not that you don't act as a brother, you earn a little money, isn't this not over yet." ”

Fei Xiong saw that Hu Fei refused to speak, so he touched Qi Hong with a wine glass, "Old Qi, Lao Hu is unreliable, you tell your brother, my heart is itchy, it's okay if I can't eat it." ”

Qi Hong laughed and said: "Old Fei, I really didn't lie to you, didn't I come to the capital this time just for the jade auction later!"

Saying that, Qi Hong wiped his hands on his body, took a red invitation card from his arms and handed it to Fei Xiong, Fei Xiong opened it and looked at it, "Good guy, I must bring it to the young master." Your jade auction is big enough, you can't make a lot of money this time. ”

Fei Xiong stuffed the invitation into his arms and slapped the table without being shocked, so frightened that Hu Fei and Qi Hong trembled, and the wine glass he had just raised spilled a small half, only to hear Fei Xiong take off his clothes and shout: "Little Er, the twenty-year-old flower carving has prepared five pots first, and now the master is out of the way." ”

Hu Fei and Qi Hong looked at Fei Xiong, who was different from the past, and Qi Hong was the first to react, "Good guy, old Fei, you are grabbing the fat pig and slaughtering it." ”

Fei Xiong's mouth was full of food, and he directly picked up the pot and poured wine: "Made, they are all rich people, and Lao Tzu is still polite to you and makes it hard." ”

"Hahaha, Boss Fei is really temperamental. The brother next to him raised his glass and shouted.

Hu Fei may be more restrained when it comes to drinking, but Qi Hong really doesn't scare him, and after Xiao Erjiu comes up, he also pours it uproaringly.

The brothers of the Jiang Gang and Liufu at the following tables were naturally not to be outdone and did it.

Chang'an, who was sitting not far away, nibbled on chicken legs and said to the old thing who was sipping a small glass of wine: "Old thing, why do they drink like drinking water, this wine is so delicious?"

The old thing had just finished taking a sip of wine, and he muttered two side dishes and said, "This wine, it's very good." All kinds of people drink all kinds of things, do you want to taste Xiao Chang'an. ”

Chang'an looked at the wine glass handed over by the old thing, took it carefully, and sniffed it with his nose, it was a little pungent, but it did have a unique fragrance when he tasted it carefully.

In the old thing's smiling and ill-intentioned gaze, Chang An first slowly dipped his lips, maybe the oil of the chicken leg was still not too much. Chang An thought that everyone else was talking about the pot and drinking, thinking that there was no big problem with this sip, so he immediately raised his head and drank it all.

Chang'an coughed loudly suddenly, his face flushed, and the old thing laughed hahaha, "You baby is really chongle, it's okay, it's good to drink too much in the future."

Chang An only felt that the glass of wine burned from his throat to his chest, as if a fire had been lit in his chest, and then the taste flowed back down his throat to his mouth, and his mouth was full of the smell of wine.

The commotion here naturally also attracted the attention of the three people at Fei Xiong's table not far away, and the little baby's drinking also made them laugh, but when Fei Xiong looked at Chang'an twice, he couldn't help but rub his eyes, and after making sure that he was not mistaken, he quickly got up and walked to the table of Chang'an and the old thing.
