02 Drunk coarse tea
As the outline of the banner became clearer and clearer, more and more people gathered inside and outside the city gate, and people chatted and looked at each other from time to time
The burgundy flag is waving in the wind, with two big characters of Murong written on it, the elegant penmanship is like flying in the wind, and the black long sword is embroidered on the flag
The black sword is the symbol of Murong Jun. The black streamer, the black sword river, is advancing rapidly, like a torrent of steel
When people saw General Murong's face clearly, they felt the kind of vibration of the earth, the regular vibration, and understood why Murong Jun's military boots were covered with flying dust
The big red banner hunted, General Murong waved his hand back, the whole army stopped, and the quiet needle drop inside and outside the city gate could be heard
Murong Bai turned over and dismounted, strode in front of Chu Yi, knelt on one knee, put his hands on his knees, and the black helmet was reflected in Chu Yi's eyes
"The last general will knock on the emperor, he is dressed in his body, it is inconvenient to bow down, I hope the emperor will forgive his sins" Murong Bai said with his head down
"The general defeated the northerners, and his merits are unparalleled, so he doesn't have to be limited to etiquette. The general has such merits, but he claims to be the last general, and my dynasty is really full of talents, so let me be happy. The general recognized me at a glance, good eyesight" Chu Yi looked straight ahead, and there was a taste of appreciation in his tone
"The emperor is the dragon and phoenix among people, and he is different. The last general, I recognized the emperor at a glance," Murong Bai continued
"The way I dress today is no different from ordinary people. If it is said that the emperor is mysterious and mysterious, I don't believe it, so I said that the general's eyesight is very good."
"I heard that some of the defeated generals in ancient times escaped disguised as soldiers, and the generals have such eyesight, can none of the generals captured by the northerners escape the eyes of the generals?"
"If this is the case, if the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty travel in plain clothes, the general can also recognize it at a glance. With the ability of the general, the position of the general of Zhenbei is somewhat condescending."
As soon as Chu opened his mouth and said, the neat Murong Army was like a black beast, and the bright red banner was like the fangs of a beast
The frontier is bitterly cold, and Murong Jun has a capable and ruthless momentum. The color of perseverance in his eyes is absolute confidence in himself, and perhaps only such an army
In order to fight against the northerners whose living environment is more bitter and cold, looking at these pairs of eyes, Chu Yi was a little unbearable. But as an emperor, how could he be stumped
"The last general doesn't have such superb eyesight, and the emperor is really different. Besides, the emperor's accession to the throne is a grand event for the whole country, and although the last general is in the frontier, he has also heard of it," Murong Bai said loudly
"Have you heard of it?" I remember that when I ascended the throne, there were only the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, I don't know who heard of the general? This person's style must be very outstanding, so that the general can recognize me just by words" Chu Yi said lightly, but Murong Bai felt a deep chill. This emperor in his early twenties is not as rumored
"It may be a rumor, the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, who dares to talk about the appearance of the Son of Heaven" Sunan Qiao stepped forward and said
"Didn't Elder Su say that the words of the market are not credible? General Murong recognized me by relying on the words of the people, this market is powerful enough, it won't be groundless!"
"It's good that the rumors of the market fall into the ears of the general, but what if they cross the border and reach the ears of the northerners?" Chu Yi turned his head to look at Sunan Qiao, his gray beard fluttering slightly in the wind
"The emperor's worries are not unreasonable, and the rumors in the market cannot be fully believed or disbelieved. The old minister will investigate this matter. The general is on the border, and the rumors will definitely stop in the territory," Su Nanqiao said with great certainty
"The general can draw a human figure in his mind from the chaos of public opinion, and there is not much difference, which I cannot do. The general has been living in the imperial city for the past few days, and I will send someone to call you when I have time to discuss the ability of this rumor to transform into shape," Chu Yi said
"Obey the order, the last general will come back in person this time, and there is something important to report to the emperor," Murong Bai said immediately
"Okay, get up, you and I go back to the palace. Old Su, if you are in poor health, go to the hospital by yourself. These soldiers, stay here" Chu Yi said, turning around
"The emperor walks slowly, General Murong walks slowly" Sunan Qiao said, looking at the back of the emperor and General Murong leaving, Sunan Qiao suddenly wanted to know
Murong Bai came back this time, in addition to debriefing, what was it that made a general leave his position, and there were new traces of battle on Murong Jun's armor
Did you just end a battle in the northern frontier or what happened on the way to report on the way to work su nan qiao thought as he walked back to the mansion a burst of fragrance penetrated his nose
Sunan Qiao looked up, drunk immortal residence, Sunan Qiao smiled, walked in, the people take food as the sky, how can you refuse such a delicacy
Among the pedestrians on the street, there was a monk in sackcloth, who turned around and walked in the direction of the city gate after seeing Sunan Qiao enter the Drunken Immortal Residence
"Mother, this person is so majestic, more majestic than his father, everyone actually knelt down without making a sound, which royal relative is this?"
At the city gate, the young man holding the cyan folding fan in his hand asked his mother beside him, just saying that this young man, with bright eyes and bright teeth, and a slender figure, was the most eye-catching
It is the hands of a young man, white as snowflakes in winter, and he must be a gentleman when he stands day by day, warm as jade
Besides, this mother, with high temples and hostas, and a white Luo skirt, is the most attractive thing about her eyes, looking forward to life
But no one dared to look at the mother and son duo of pedestrians coming and going on the street, because they were Mu Xueqi, the princess of Xiaoyao, and Chu Xingyun, the prince of Xiaoyao
"When the emperor of the dynasty is the most powerful person in the wine-clothed dynasty, he is the only king, and anyone else in the wine-clothed dynasty is a courtier."
"What the king asks us to do, we have to do, in terms of generation, the emperor wants to call the prince uncle"
"You and the emperor are equals. Being in the royal family, even if you are a peer, you can't say a lot of words or do a lot of things. for you are not only brothers, but also princes."
Mu Xueqi opened her mouth and said, looking at Chu Xingyun dotingly
"Why?" Chu Xingyun asked puzzled
"It's always been like this, you have to remember your mother's words, being a parent will not harm your children," Mu Xueqi said
"I know," the ignorant boy replied perfunctorily, he wanted to know why, but he knew that his mother would not give him an answer
Neither will my father, maybe not, I haven't seen my father for a long time. This question is like a seed planted in the heart of a teenager
"Is there anything Yun'er wants to eat?" asked Mu Xueqi
"Yes, I want to eat the first dish of Drunken Immortal Residence, and I want to eat the first dish of Drunken Immortal Residence. The name of this dish goes well with my name, but I don't know who is called running water, haha"
Chu Xingyun laughed loudly, he didn't know that there was indeed a person named Flowing Water in the Wine Clothes Dynasty. Just one year later, the two crossed paths
The encounter between the two also happened in the drunken immortal residence, and the storytellers of later generations had such a sentence that the drunken immortal residence was flowing in the middle of the clouds, and the moon and breeze were clear under the Xiaoyao Temple
"The name of the dish in Drunken Immortal Residence is quite poetic, and the owner used to be the champion and the first, and it is their honor that the name of the dish collides with Yun'er's name."
"If Yun'er thinks it's not good, Xingyun Liushui can be replaced with another name" Mu Xueqi said, the prince has always been careless and doesn't pay much attention to the matter of duplicate names
The dynasty is so big, and the matter of the heavy name in his ears, the prince just said that everything is left to Yun'er to decide, how can Yun'er, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old child, understand
"It's a good name, how can I be so poetic. Change your name, wouldn't it mean that Xingyun is not good," Chu Xingyun said with a smile
"Yun'er makes sense," Mu Xueqi said
The mother and son walked towards the Drunken Immortal Residence with a smile, and the guards of the Xiaoyao Mansion were hidden in the ordinary crowd, protecting the safety of the mother and son
Although at the foot of the Son of Heaven, there are few things that violate the law, but the people who break the law have never been cut off, and today General Murong returned victoriously, and there are countless people inside and outside the imperial city
The guards were even more energetic, and the monk in sackcloth frowned when he passed by Chu Xingyun's side. Kung Fu was like him, and he actually felt a chill
The Mai monk didn't stop, the business was important, but the curiosity in his heart made the Mai monk's brows furrow for a while, as if he wanted to engrave Chu Xingyun's face in his mind
The sunlight turns from warm to soft and faint. The moonlight pierced through the treetops, and people began to return to their homes in twos and threes, all at a brisk pace
The sun rises and the sun rests, and everyone has a home. And this place of destination, we call home, and the family is all family
Under the soft moonlight, the soldiers of the Murong Army were still motionless like statues, as if the scorching sun and coolness had not affected them in the slightest
At first, the people who entered and left the city were quite afraid of them, and the momentum of not being angry and arrogant made people consciously distance themselves
Slowly, people are no longer cautious, because Murong Jun is absolutely quiet, it can be regarded as if they do not exist, they are like a family, closed doors and windows
What happens outside doesn't affect them, and they don't pay attention to what happens outside, a state that people often call resting tigers
Outside the city gates, there is an open-air tea shed, about the size of three or four houses, where many people stop to quench their thirst for a cup of tea
Anxiously gulped, threw down the copper coin and left. I drank it slowly without hurry, tasting the taste of tea, in fact, the taste of this tea
It has been like this for decades, and it can be said that it is the coarsest tea of the Jiuyi Dynasty, the cheapest, the most ordinary, and it really has no special taste in itself
Most of the people who drink tea slowly do not mean to drink. What matters is not the taste of the tea, but the taste of the heart. Tea is the same, but the people who drink it are different
The heart is different, and the love is not the same. Tea is similar to wine, and many things are done at the wine table or tea table, and the thickest tea is like the strongest wine
ignited the flame in Lu Chen's heart, he was an orphan who was picked up by the shopkeeper of the tea shed in the dirty alleys of the imperial city, and he has been helping the shopkeeper sell tea
The people who come and go have seen a lot, and they have some of the ideas mentioned above. But today, Lu Chen set up a sign that read: Tea is self-picked, and tea money is paid by yourself
Lu Chen learned the news of Murong Jun's imminent arrival from the merchants who came and went, and he made the sign a few days in advance, and took out the sign when he saw the flag
At first, the people who came and went also felt strange, but after seeing Lu Chen's eyes, they also understood. Lu Chen, he occupied a table
It is filled with teacups filled with tea, and on the left-hand side are four teapots filled with tea. Lu Chen's eyes looked at Murong Jun without blinking
Drinking a cup of tea from time to time, coarse tea is very refreshing for Lu Chen. No one knew when Murong Jun would leave, and no one knew how long Lu Chen would watch Murong Jun......
