Chapter 32 No Return
About the conversation in Shunhe Zhai later, no one knew what the specific content was, half an hour later, Pei Yuanhou pushed the door out, laughed at himself, and removed the spies of the Supervision Department who were on rotation with a few people from the Panlong Academy, as for the two masters of the Zhiwei Realm who have been following Xiangguo's side, no one has seen them since then, and of course, no one will ask.
Three days later, Zhao Xifeng and others received a message from Zhong Li that they could walk around the capital freely without worrying about safety.
That night, Sun Wenzhen took Dong Erpang out to inspect the restaurant in the capital, and soon after the two went out, Gu Qingyuan also went out, Zhao Xifeng asked him where he was going, and he smiled but didn't answer.
After finishing his practice, Zhao Xifeng was bored, so he also walked out of the inn alone and wandered around aimlessly.
Shengjing City is located in the north of the imperial river, although the winter season is not as snowy as the northwest, the cold wind is bone-chilling, but it is also very cold, if this is in Panlong Town, there will definitely be no pedestrians on the street, even if it is the most lively Dongji on weekdays, but after all, this is the capital of a country, outside the city outside an ordinary inn in the western suburbs, people are still in an endless stream, most of them have entered the restaurant across the street.
After Zhao Xifeng stopped and walked several laps, he still followed the lights in the night to the door of the restaurant.
Different from his imagination all the way, the restaurant in the capital is not taller and more majestic than that of Luobei City, nor is there an extremely detailed carved beam painting, but there are seven low buildings scattered in a dry forest, which looks no different from ordinary houses, but between the layers of candlelight and tree shadows, there is also a spaciousness and elegance.
What he didn't know was that this was the most famous restaurant in the capital for a year, and according to legend, Liang Dongyuan, the leader of the student movement, was determined to uncover the dirty case of the imperial examination in the building, so there were often students gathering here, talking about the past and the present, and the disadvantages of the times, among which there were some famous talents, and over time, it became one of the main places for student movement activities.
Just a while ago, Liang Dongyuan was assassinated by gangsters after a parade and rally, and the next day hundreds of students gathered here to mourn the spiritual leader in their hearts, that day, it snowed heavily in Shengjing, and the whole city was covered in silver, and the snow fell in this city together, as well as Liang Dongyuan's eternal reputation, since then, this ordinary scholar who died in the hands of the "royalists" is no longer ordinary, his name has become a banner of the student movement, a kind of totem, and even some students say that he is a contemporary sage.
In this atmosphere, the restaurant in the western suburbs also became famous, and the number of tourists soared for a while, and even the sales of alcohol tripled.
Of course, Zhao Xifeng didn't know this, at this moment he looked up at the restaurant's casually scribbled name "No need to return", and silently thought in his heart, this is not a good sign, this trip to Beijing is still going back, and he has to return with his father.
Just as Zhao Xifeng was looking up and distracted, he suddenly heard someone say to him: "Hey, we don't sell alcohol to children here." ”
Zhao Xifeng heard the words and looked at it, and found the owner of the voice under the dead branches of the peach tree.
It was a woman, a woman who made Zhao Xifeng understand "women" for the first time.
In the bitter cold of the northwest, women often have to work in the fields like men, so under the sun and wind all year round, in fact, the gender difference sometimes does not seem so obvious. Among Zhao Xifeng's several peers, Li Xuan has a delicate temperament since he was a child, Zhao Xifeng has always regarded him as a younger sister, as for Zhong Li, he is cold and domineering, even ordinary men can't compare, although his face is beautiful and unparalleled, but he is not too close to the word woman.
But the woman in front of her leaning against the trunk of the tree, tall, with the corners of her mouth upturned, the velvet dress flowing down a gentle curve, and a fox fur under her neck added a bit of charm to it, and the whole person was in the atmosphere without losing grace, a little more bright than the women who bubbled out of the plum rain in Jiangnan Province, and more delicate than the women in the wind and sand in the north.
Such women are often the red faces of the sword fairy in the script, or the favorite concubine of the king in the romance story, who only needs to be seen at a glance, and it takes a lifetime to forget it.
The woman saw that Zhao Xifeng didn't look at the signboard, but looked at herself blankly, and didn't say anything for a while, nodded helplessly and said: "That's right, there is no need to return here, presumably this son is here for the deeds of Mr. Liang Dongyuan Liang, I'm sorry, the small shop still has to do business, if you don't consume and refuse to visit, I don't think the son is not yet sixteen, so you can't buy wine in this store, or come back in a few years." ”
Zhao Xifeng came back to his senses, shook his head with a smile and said: "This sister, the student is just sponsored nearby, and she is very bored at night, she walks around, and she doesn't know any Liang Dongyuan, so naturally she is not here to visit, you really shouldn't delay your business, and I will make amends to you." ”
"You're not a student of the student movement, judging by your attire, you should also be a student in the government school office, but your accent sounds like that of the northwest," the woman continued to ask, a little suspicious.
"I really don't know Mr. Liang, and I haven't participated in the student movement. Zhao Xifeng shook his head. "I have some understanding of the idea of the student movement, but I don't fully agree with it. ”
The woman was obviously relieved, her expression was even a little relieved, and she immediately said: "It's good to disagree, tell you, in fact, sister, I don't agree with it, these students, don't study well, they drink and brag with me every day, saying that they want a new deal, and they want Emperor Renzong to step down, but I haven't heard what their new deal is in the store for so long, probably pulling a group of scholars to quarrel in the court, who wins the quarrel and listens to whom, but if there is no emperor, who will judge them win or lose?"
"Sister, don't ask me, I don't know," Zhao Xifeng said with a smile, "But in what you said just now, there are also students who dare not agree." ”
"Well, let's hear about it. The woman clasped her arms with both hands, with a rather interested expression, the man who met her as an adult, those who did not know her true identity were often shocked by her beauty, either restrained, or pretended, and those who knew her true identity, one by one scared into quails, it was really boring to get along, and now I finally met a foreign boy, so I naturally want to tease it.
Zhao Xifeng smiled and said: "There are two points, one is that the student's family is in the northwest, this time he is studying in Beijing, and he is not thousands of miles away from home. ”
The woman put away her joke look, nodded solemnly, and said: "It turned out to be the wine of filial piety, but it was me who was wrong, na, I gave you this altar girl, you don't need to return to the three years of the champion Yuanhong, talk about the meaning of resignation, I don't know what the second is." ”
The woman magically took out a porcelain altar and handed it to Zhao Xifeng.
Zhao Xifeng held the wine jar in his hand, and after a while, he suddenly slapped the mud with his palm, and after taking two sips, he smiled and said: "This second point, who said that you are not allowed to drink before sixteen? I have been drinking since I was four years old, this altar belongs to me, let me go into the store and buy another jar to bring to my father?"
