The ancient capital of the capital is extremely prosperous, which has lasted for thousands of years and has been prosperous for a long time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info world-renowned Beijing City, as early as the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, King Wu will call the Duke to build the capital here, one to the later Warring States period Yan State, two Jin Dynasty and Northern and Southern Dynasties before Yan, Qin Dynasty, Hou Yan, Northern Wei Dynasty, Tang Dynasty An Lushan, five generations of Liu Rengong, and Liao, Jin, Yuan have built their capitals here. After more than 2,000 years of development and operation, its wealth should not be able to say clearly in two words, although it has also been war-torn, but timely reconstruction and expansion, until Yu Ming, Chengzu Zhu Di operated here, and later moved the capital to Beijing, and after several dynasties of development, at this time the prosperity of the capital has reached the peak of the feudal period. No matter how traitorous ministers are in power, no matter how mediocre the monarch is, no matter how hard the people's livelihood is, it will still not cut the wealth of the capital by half. Because the capital is the capital after all, it is the place where the dignitaries and nobles, the rich and famous live at the feet of the Son of Heaven.
Since entering the recruitment hall, Yunxiao is not as laissez-faire as before, his behavior is informal, every word he says, every thing he does is doubly careful, and he is always afraid of offending people unintentionally, which is not good for others or himself. Even when it comes to officialdom, eating, drinking and socializing are indispensable. Today you please, tomorrow I please, the day after tomorrow he pleases. The old people have a group of old people, and the young people also have a pile of young people, and the most important thing in the officialdom is to eat and drink.
On this day, Yunxiao, Chu Qingyan, Long Feiyu, Long Feiyu, Zhu Zhiming, and others also went to a good banquet. It turned out that recently, Cheng Zijin's parents came from other places, and when they thought that their only son in the family came to Beijing to join the government, Si'er was anxious and didn't want to be too far away from him. Therefore, he decided to move his family property to Beijing and settle down in Beijing. The houses and real estate are almost purchased, and I heard that Cheng Zijin has made a lot of friends in the Zhaoxian Pavilion, so he set up a banquet at home and invited Yunxiao and other friends to meet at home.
Even though the seniors invited each other, Yunxiao and the others did not dare to slack off, and they all attended. It's just that Long Feiyu and Cheng Zijin don't have a good relationship, Cheng Zijin only invited him because of Long Feiyu's face, and Long Feiyu didn't really want to come, but just accompanied Chu Qingyan to the banquet together.
Bursts of greetings, red tape is indispensable, smiling and laughing, and chatting happily. It can be seen that Cheng Zijin, Zhu Zhiming, etc. are obviously experienced in the dinner market for a long time, and they are good at this way; Chu Qingyan and Long Feiyuan are from everyone's ladies, and they are used to seeing these scenes, and they are also generous and decent. Although Long Feikite doesn't speak much, he is not decent. This time, Cheng Zijin invited a lot of people, there were more than 100 people, and the scene was also very lively. Everyone has their own topics. There were only two people on the field who didn't say a word, which looked very strange, but their expressions were slightly different. One of them is arrogant, he looks like he despises the heroes of the world, and he doesn't talk to others, so arrogant is the only one, of course, Long Feiyu. The other person was embarrassed, as if he couldn't find anything to say, obviously not used to such a scene, this person was in the sky. Before the banquet opened, everyone was waiting in the hall, Yunxiao just watched everyone talk, it seemed that everyone was very familiar with each other, chatting very speculatively, and talking a lot. And he himself sat there stupid, alone, feeling very uncomfortable, as if seconds were like years.
Then about an hour later, the banquet finally started, and Yunxiao, Chu Qingyan, Long Feiyu, Long Feiyu, and Zhu Zhiming were arranged to sit at the main table with Cheng Zijin's parents, and Cheng Zijin was no exception. However, seeing that the father and mother are still very young, the father is slightly fat, not very tall, white-faced and bearded, and is over forty years old; Everyone greeted Cheng Father and Cheng Mother, and Cheng Zijin introduced five people to his parents one by one. When he was introduced to Yunxiao, Cheng's father and mother were already familiar with him, because Chengzijin had already told them that his best friend was him. The two elders saw that Yunxiao was polite and courteous, and they talked extraordinary, and they all nodded one after another, and praised it in their hearts. When the dragon flying kite was introduced, Chengmu looked at it carefully and couldn't help but take a few more looks. In this way, people all entered the table and set up a feast.
As the master, all kinds of etiquette and clichés are indispensable. The two fathers and sons took turns to talk a lot, and Yunxiao's ears were about to become calloused, and they had to sincerely praise the eloquence of the two fathers and sons. After that, it is time to push the glass and change the lamp, toast and socialize. Out of respect, Yunxiao also toasted two glasses of wine to his father and mother, and since then, he has begun to return to his previous stupid and wooden state.
Becoming a father and a mother also realized that they were worried that their two old men were making these children uncomfortable and couldn't let go, so they went back to the house after toasting and saying what they had to say. Sure enough, after the two left, the atmosphere was suddenly lively. Everyone chatted happily and drank almost "carried away", Cheng Zijin participated in it, and Zhu Zhiming also mingled with everyone, so happy that he couldn't be happier. There are only Yunxiao, Chu Qingyan, Long Feiyu, and Long Feiyu left on the main table.
After a while, everyone came over to toast, and it was indispensable for the eldest lady of Chu Qingyan, Long Feiyuan, and Chu Long to be respected. It's just that after a few glasses, Chu Qingyan doesn't have much alcohol strength, and the rest of Long Feiyu drinks it all. Long Feikite is fine, his internal strength is profound, and it is okay to drink some wine. Yunxiao is the guest of honor in the Zhaoxian Pavilion, Chu Haoran is a celebrity in front of him, and everyone is also respectful to him, and there are many people who come to toast. And he didn't drink well, and after five or six glasses, he drank again with a red face and red ears, and everyone only felt that it was boring when they saw this, and they no longer made it difficult.
After three rounds of drinking, almost everyone laughed together. Chu Qingyan and Long Feikite, these two beautiful and peerless women, were praised by them like gods. Long Feiyu, the proud general, was also overwhelmed by the constant blocking of wine for his sweetheart. And at this moment, only he Yunxiao, only he Yunxiao, sitting there alone, just watching and staying, feeling lonely, as if he was so unsociable and abandoned by everyone.
Anyway, no one paid attention, and under the extreme boredom, Yunxiao walked out alone and took a walk by the garden in the front yard. He found a stone chair to sit down, smelled the fragrance of flowers in the garden, looked at the bright stars in the sky, and suddenly felt relaxed and happy, much more comfortable than the sour wine at the previous banquet.
He looked at the sky and the universe, and suddenly felt that people were small, and he couldn't help but feel sad. I thought: The universe is like a drop of water in the sea, a grain of sand on the beach, a star in the sky, and a tree on a high mountain. And if people spend their lives in such mediocrity, wouldn't it be like this drop of water, a grain of sand, a star, and a tree, how boring it would be. What is the meaning of man's existence? Since ancient times, princes, generals, sages, and sages have lived a fierce and splendid life. They are human beings, so why can they be like this?
And I, Yunxiao, although I am in the Recruiting Hall, I am deeply appreciated by Lord Chu and Marquis Long, but can I really give full play to my talents? Now that the emperor is not a director, the traitorous ministers are in charge, Wang Zhi and Wan Zhen'er cover the sky with one hand, although the Zhaoxian Pavilion is not small, it is far from Wan Wang's party. Chu Haoran and Long Xiaotian still have to take care of themselves to save their lives, how can they have hope for the pillar of optimism? And what is the meaning of my Yunxiao's existence? Is it really just like this, drowning in the long river of history like a grain of sand? I don't want this, I don't want this, I want to transform, I must transform! But how can I transform? Hey...... I don't know, I don't know!
Thinking of this, he shook his head deeply, and couldn't help but feel very worried about it, but just looked up and sighed!
"What's wrong with you, why are you sighing?"
Yunxiao was distracted by this sudden sound, and when he looked back, he saw a beautiful woman in white clothes like snow standing behind him, it was Long Feikite.
