Outside Kyoto, in the farewell pavilion, Chen Mingye and Zhao You were still standing side by side, reuniting after a long absence, naturally there was a lot to say.

"By the way, since you met Meng Che and them, you should have heard about their duel with those people in the Academy Palace, right?" Zhao You suddenly thought of something and said.

"Well, I heard, but I'm not really interested. Chen Mingye shrugged.

"It's amazing, it's worthy of seeing the world. Zhao You smiled and played with taste.

"What, what do you have in mind?" Chen Mingye glanced at him.

Zhao You said helplessly: "I don't have any ideas, but the scholars in the school palace really want to pull me over to help." ”

"Pull you?" Chen Mingye was a little surprised, "It's okay to mix, dare to have a good relationship with those gentlemen so soon?"

"After all, they are all classmates of the Academy, and they have been there for some years. Zhao You smiled.

Chen Mingye thought thoughtfully: "I almost forgot the relationship between you and the Jixia School Palace." ”

Zhao You smiled slightly, understanding that Chen Mingye did have any plans in his heart, but since Chen Mingye was unwilling to say it at this time, he naturally would not deliberately ask.

"Speaking of Yan Wendao, they have been waiting for Meng Che to return to Beijing from Yuzhou, it seems that there is really a shortage of people in the Jiangmen circle, and Meng Che's dog-headed military advisor is about to be treated as a treasure. Chen Mingye said with a smile.

"After all, the six arts of the competition, what they are most unaccustomed to is the scholar of the crepe, and the competition of etiquette and music is indeed a problem for them. ”

Chen Mingye's eyes flashed when he heard this, and the corners of his mouth suddenly rose: "Speaking of which, I really want to see the performance of that guy Meng Che, and besides, you should also play." ”

Zhao You sighed and asked rhetorically, "What about you?"

"Me?" Chen Mingye smiled, "Since you all set the competition on that person's birthday, I should be on stage as a more interesting person." ”

Zhao You glanced at him: "Is this still selling Guanzi? Qingxuan's people arrived in Kyoto half a month ago, and I know some news no matter how well-informed I am." ”

"Hahaha......" Chen Mingye smiled heartily, stretched out his hand and pulled the bored Xiaohong next to him, "That's it, don't just sit still, let's go back to the city for a walk." ”

"Where are you going?" Xiaohong on the side immediately became energetic when she heard this.

"I have a bet with Yan Wendao, and he still owes it. Chen Mingye smiled.

"The bet with Yan Wendao?" Zhao You glanced at him, "How long have you been in Kyoto, and you've done a lot of things?"

Chen Mingye shrugged his shoulders: "This is what he took the initiative to find me." ”

"So, you really won Yanwen Dao?" Zhao You glanced at him, and seemed to be a little surprised.

"Nonsense, your night brother is also a cultivator. Chen Mingye coughed lightly.

"What kind of master are you pretending to be, tell me about it, what realm have you reached in this martial art, Grand Master Chen?" Zhao You asked with a smile.

"Ahem, Great Grandmaster, believe it or not, the kind that hangs you with one hand. Chen Mingye stretched out a finger at him, his eyes were full of indifference and master's demeanor.

"Pull it down, the whole court is up and down, and the great master is only Tu Shuai. If you want to have that realm, you can still sit here with me and brag?" Zhao You's face was full of disbelief, "What's the use of you beating me besides......"

"Yes," Chen Mingye waved his hand, his face stunned, "I don't believe my brother's words......"

Zhao You glanced at him: "You pull it down, if you really want to find Yan Wendao, do you know where he will be?"

"Isn't this your local snake?" Chen Mingye raised his head at him.

"Can I also be called the head snake?" Zhao You smiled bitterly, "But if you want to find him, I do have some eyebrows." ”

"Oh?" Chen Mingye glanced at him, "Tell me about it." ”

Zhao You simply said: "East of the city, city defense camp." ”

"Heh, it's really what I expected, this guy won't stay there all day, right?" Chen Mingye touched his chin.

Zhao You shook his head: "It coincides with the recent Six Arts Competition, so he usually goes over there in the morning when he has time, and then goes to Miaochun Tower for dinner at noon." ”

Chen Mingye glanced at the sky: "It's inconvenient to enter the city defense camp, so it's better to go to Miaochun Tower and wait." ”

"You're a guest, you have the final say. Zhao You made a gesture of please.

"Heh, am I a guest?" Chen Mingye asked rhetorically.

Zhao You waved his hand at him: "Okay, if you are the master, I will come over and drink a pot of tea from you, you are too incompetent as the master, you must know that today is Mr. Wang's lecture, and I specially skipped class." ”

"What's wrong with skipping class? Chen Mingye slapped the railing, recalling the style of the year, and then asked disappreciatively, "Speaking of which, which Mr. Wang are you talking about?"

"The literary master who criticized you in Kyoto back then, why, don't you remember it so soon?" Zhao You looked at him, smiling rather than smiling.

Chen Mingye shook his head, then thought for a while before saying, "But it's all a little young and frivolous, and it's nothing." ”

"Back then, he said that you were golden and jade, and you were ruined in eight words. Zhao You smiled, "But there are still many people who are not convinced by these eight words." ”

Chen Mingye was stunned when he heard this.

"Many people think that you don't deserve these four words, hahahaha......" Zhao You couldn't help laughing when he said this.

"Damn," Chen Mingye glanced at him, "I'm too lazy to talk to you, I just haven't seen the food in Miaochun Building for a long time, and sometimes I miss it strangely, so I'm gone." ”

Saying this, he looked back at Xiaohong, who was looking at him with a blank eye, and smiled: "Xiaohong, we really set off this time." ”

"Let's go!" Xiao Hong stretched out her little hand and raised her head to look at Chen Mingye seriously.

Chen Mingye laughed, took the little hand, and went straight out of the pavilion with the little girl.

Behind him, Zhao You stood alone, looking at the backs of the two big and small. A depressed face.

Seeing them coming out, San'er hurriedly rushed to his son's side, and asked with concern, "Childe, are you okay?"

"What's the matter with some tea? Zhao You said helplessly, glanced at San'er who was honestly following him, and sighed, "San'er, it's really you." ”

"Huh?" The little guy was stunned, obviously a little incomprehensible to this sudden compliment, but after thinking about it, he immediately smiled again, "It is naturally San'er's duty to be good to the son." ”

Zhao You slapped his head and simply shut up.

On the official road, the two rode horses side by side, walking leisurely all the way, talking while walking. Regarding the issue of identity, Chen Mingye also specially communicated with Zhao You.

For now, Chen Mingye's identity is actually a poor scholar from Yuzhou, with a little knowledge and martial arts skills, but it's just that, if you want to get acquainted with Zhao You logically, it's still far-fetched.

"It's still a little bit late, after all, I can't deal with that guy Yan Wendao, so I won't go. You and Yan Wendao are chatting, I just happened to go ......" Zhao You hesitated, and then said, "I just happened to go shopping, after all, I have been in the academy for a long time, and I just came out to relax." ”

"Heh," Chen Mingye smiled, and for the time being, he didn't debunk his thoughts about Miss Yao'er, but said, "It's okay, Meng Che has an effect at this time?"

"Meng Che?" Zhao You was stunned.

"Doesn't this guy run to the school palace when he has nothing to do on weekdays, I am also a scholar, and it is not far-fetched to meet you under his leadership. Chen Mingye said.

"Reasonable," Zhao You nodded, and then asked rhetorically, "The point is, what about Meng Che and others?"

"......" Chen Mingye knocked on his head, "That guy's drinking is really bad, and he is probably still sleeping with his head covered at this moment." ”

"Even so, how do you explain to Meng Che the process of me getting to know you?" Zhao You continued to ask rhetorically.

"That's it. Chen Mingye looked at Zhao You and let out a long sigh, "If you insist on that Yao'er girl of yours, I won't be able to stop you." ”

Zhao You glanced at him seriously, and then sighed in his appearance: "If you say so, I will have a showdown, it is true." ”

Chen Mingye laughed: "That's it, you guy, if you want to go, that guy from Yan Wendao is also a goblin, which is a bit inappropriate." ”

Zhao You glanced at him: "Yan Wendao can be regarded as the leading figure in their small group now, and now the King of Jin and the King of Qi are all striving for his support, so for the future situation, he can indeed be regarded as a key figure." ”

Chen Mingye shrugged: "That person who has not yet established the title of the crown prince, and now he is in a hurry, it may not be a good thing." ”

Zhao You nodded: "That's the case, but Yan Wendao, although your relationship was okay before, but now if you want to think about him, you should be careful." ”

Chen Mingye waved his hand: "Come on, I'm a grass farmer, I don't have such complicated thoughts, you can go first." ”

Zhao You smiled bitterly: "What a stupid young marshal." ”

Chen Mingye didn't care, but when Xiaohong heard these words, she raised her head again and glared at Zhao You fiercely. This time, he was noticed by the little guy in the back, and this guy suddenly looked at Chen Mingye with some hostility.

Chen Mingye actually didn't care much about Zhao You's problem, after all, he was the one who grew up with Zhao You since he was a child, but he still paid more attention to it and nodded at Zhao You.

Zhao You understood and waved at him.

The two separated on the street, one to the south and the other to the north, passing by.

Kyoto's Miaochun Lou is a famous restaurant, although the name is gorgeous, but the dishes are real kung fu, the flavor is authentic, variety, fancy exquisite, attracting a large number of princes and nobles also come to have a taste, and even some gourmets are willing to come for a rare dish of Miaochun Lou, even waiting for several days, just to be able to feast on the first time the dish comes out.

Every time Chen Mingye returned to Kyoto from Beizhou, the food in Miaochun Lou was also the place he longed for the most, and almost every time he would make an appointment with a few friends to have a good meal.

This time, it happened to take Xiaohong a chance to enjoy the food, and it can be regarded as repaying the promise he once made to Xiaohong. However, Xiaohong was sitting there alone just now, he was drinking tea and chatting with Zhao You, and Xiaohong was covering her head and eating all kinds of snacks brought out from the Meng family.

Chen Mingye subconsciously glanced at Xiaohong's little belly, the little girl's reaction was very keen, and she seemed to sense his thoughts in an instant, and immediately said with a smile: "Xiaohong can still eat many miles." ”

"......" Chen Mingye coughed lightly, "That's good, let's go, I'll take Xiaohong to eat something delicious." ”

"Uh-huh. Xiaohong nodded expectantly.

Although it's not yet lunchtime, the restaurant is still noisy and noisy. In addition, outside the building is Suzaku Street, and the cries of small vendors come and go, and the conversation with the diners in the building is a lively scene.

Entering the building, you can see the red lacquer column at a glance, the top beam is tall, and then the carved eaves reflect the sun, the painting building flying clouds, the decoration is extraordinarily gorgeous.

Xiaohong gently sucked her little finger, looking a little surprised: "Little junior brother, this restaurant is so big." ”

"Myoharu is one of the largest restaurants in Kyoto, so it's natural to have a grand atmosphere. Chen Mingye smiled, glanced over, and was full of jasper prosperity.

The lobby on the first floor is quite ordinary, most of them are diners, occasionally some entertainers who play and sing, adding some lively interest, and then up are the elegant seats on each floor, there are all kinds of gorgeous women in it, hidden in the curtains, dressed in colorful clothes, or singing or dancing, the piano and dance music are melodious, each has its own taste.

"It's quite nostalgic. Chen Mingye looked around, and then pulled Xiaohong to find an empty table in the lobby and sat down peacefully.

"Childe, what are you going to eat?" It didn't take long for Xiao Er, who had finished cleaning up over there, to rush over.

Chen Mingye was still wearing an extremely simple plain white robe at the moment, and in this richly decorated Miaochun Building, it looked somewhat shabby. However, Xiao Er is still eager, and he does not judge people by their appearance.

Chen Mingye smiled, this is not because Xiao Er is more sensible, just because of those scholar families who dropped their book bags, many people like to travel simply, and show a noble atmosphere in the name of simplicity, so in Kyoto, where wealthy families are everywhere, Xiao Er is really snobbish.

"Stir-fried beef, soup tofu, shrimp balls, charcoal-grilled sliced duck ......" Chen Mingye reported nearly a dozen kinds of dishes in one go.

Xiao Er wrote them down one by one, and then raised his eyes and glanced at Chen Mingye and Xiao Er, who were sitting still, with a look of embarrassment on their faces.

"Have something to say. Chen Mingye roughly knew what he wanted to say.

"Childe, how many people are you?" Xiao Er still wanted to be tactful, and asked first.

"Two, there will be one more person later, rest assured that there will be no shortage of money in your store. Chen Mingye smiled lightly, reached out and took out a silver ingot.

Xiao Er breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and immediately changed to a smiling face: "That son, you wait a while, and the little one will come in a while." ”

Chen Mingye glanced at Xiao Er, who left in a hurry, turned around and smiled at Xiao Hong: "How about it, so much is enough for you to eat, right?"

Xiao Hong's eyes seemed to be full of little stars, and there was a sparkle in his eyes when he looked at him.

"It's just a few dishes, so there's no need to be so excited. Looking at the little girl's expectant appearance, Chen Mingye said helplessly.

Well, for Xiaohong, it seems that she has never looked forward to anything else except food.

I talked with Zhao You for a while over tea before, and we talked for a while on the road, and now when I arrived at Miaochun Tower, it was still early. Chen Mingye regretted it a little, he should have asked Zhao You carefully, who knows what time Yan Wendao guy will come over for dinner.

If he forgets the time when he is practicing, why should he be stupid and can't wait here?

Thinking like this, Chen Mingye looked up, but saw that familiar figure.

It's really better to come early than to come coincidentally, Chen Mingye grinned, just right, the front foot of the debt has arrived, and the back foot of the debt has also arrived.

So he simply stood up and waved at the man who had just entered the door of the restaurant.

"What a coincidence, Brother Yan. ”
