Qingzhou trip

Unlike the thousands of wine shops in the capital, there are only five wine alleys in Shahai.Before Yunfangjiang, when the soldiers were stationed in Shahai, the control was strict. Drinking alcohol in the army was not allowed, and offenders were severely punished.Therefore, the wine alley in Shahai is prepared for passing merchants.

Now there is no military action, not only the merchants, but also the left-behind soldiers of Shahai who survived by luck also like to come to Wine Lane.The largest of these restaurants is called "Purple Sparrow", and the big red gauze gardenia lanterns are lit at the door and gently sway in the wind.Although this place is not as magnificent as those flying bridges in the capital, there are constant drunken chatter and the sound of flying and gambling.Watching the candles flicker from outside the door is also quite lively.

He Sansheng and two escort soldiers entered the restaurant, picked an inconspicuous place and ordered a bucket of glutinous rice wine, and prepared to scold that stingy Sha Hai Dianbo while drinking.

What appetizers do you have?Instead of the familiar soup, I served a plate of rabbit and roasted lamb's feet.The big plate is presented, and the diners cut it with their own knives.Although He Sansheng joined the army, at least he was born as a scholar, "I am in the frontier, and even the food I eat is close to that of a fish."

The drinker who turned his back to them turned his head, "Brother, is he from a foreign country? The people here in Shahai don't follow the example of Northern Xia, Xi, Liao, Hu, Qiang and Xianbei. This is a native food."

Thinking of the desert to the north of Shahai, and the desolate land of Xiaoguan to the south, where it is like Jiangnan Fish and Rice Township, where the food is exquisite and exquisite, He Sansheng couldn't help nodding, "One side of the water and soil supports the other's people." Especially the Bai family has passed down five generations. , Most of the Baosheng Army, which Yun Fangjiang took over later, was also recruited from the North.A few years ago, during the annual inspection of the Privy Council, he had seen it in Beijing. Even if there were women in the Baosheng Army, their size was comparable to that of the Jiangnanxiang Army.This is what is raised by eating local god-sent rice.

After two glasses of wine, the guards around him began to scold Xie Penglai, "I've been traveling all these years, and I've seen a lot of third-rank officials, and it's the first time I've seen such a stingy eight-rank fake trick. There's not even a banquet." , and even reached out to ask us for food coupons. No wonder she is dressed in such shabby clothes, I think she is only an eighth grade if she doesn't get married, even if she dies."

The drinker next door simply turned around and put a glass of wine on He Sansheng's table, "That's right. This Xie was a talented girl from Jibei County in the past. She was a scholar at the age of ten, and won the exam at the age of 15. Then I don't know what I did. She was exiled to the Baosheng Army, was hired by Marshal Yun as a tutor, and even asked her to be a citizen."

Xie Penglai's experience is a long-lasting appetizer in the wine alley, just like diners who eat too much meat and need some sour taste to continue to relieve their greasy, "She can't manage that cloud even if she is a handsome tutor Bailu, who is that? That's a tyrant in Shahai City. Xie Penglai forced her to recite "Zhu Zi" back then, but Yun Bailu went to her door with the dowry and said that she would marry her mentor Now, if you are tired, you might as well recite the scriptures."

He Sansheng and the others were about to spit out their wine, "Then why didn't you get married?"

"Yun Fangjiang is just such a daughter. If she marries a woman, who will the Baosheng army belong to? It would be a mess. Of course..." The fifty thousand soldiers were defeated like a mountain, and there was no further talk.

"Then how long has this Xie Penglai been making the diary?" Another escort soldier asked the drinker.

"It's been more than ten years. She's a bit pedantic, but the administration is still strict, and there's never been a basket here." The diner slammed his lips, "However, these days, she doesn't please her superiors, no matter how capable she is, she is a top grade. Even a child prodigy can't stand a man approaching middle age."

It is said that Juren's background and more than ten years of official career can at least reach the seventh rank.If you have a little way to go to the concert hall, you can make a school in three or two years.At first glance, Xie Penglai's way of promotion will not lead to being a human being.

When He Sansheng heard this, he didn't speak anymore. He spent all these years in the army, and his poems, books and articles have long been forgotten.All day long, he only thinks about getting promoted and getting rich.It is not ordinary people who can survive ten years in this bitter cold frontier.

A few people got together again by accident, and played a few more games of flying pounce.He Sansheng lost a tael of silver, waved his hands again and again to say nothing, not to mention that he didn't get any sweetness from the desert, he also lost money.

"Then Yun Bailu was brought back by you? Do you know why she came back?" The diner seemed worried.

"We don't know about that. We've finished our errands when they're delivered." He Sansheng was talking, and a sip of his drink had already spouted: Yun Bailu didn't know when he was sitting next to them, eating rabbit meat with great relish.

"Did the cook of this 'Purple Bird' change? Why is the taste so strong?" Yun Bailu asked the diner with a smile on his cold eyes, "Hu Quan, two years ago you Feipu lost me for four taels of silver. If you didn’t, you’re here to make arrangements for me?”

The diner who was called "Hu Quan" smiled and retreated, "Miss Yun, you will not pursue debts after you leave the gambling table, and you understand the truth." He turned around in embarrassment and stopped talking.

Yun Bailu also stopped chasing his debts, and changed his tone after drinking a glass of wine, "Who cares about my mentor proposing marriage? Listen to his nonsense."

"Is that also mentioned?" He Sanxing poured wine for her with a smile, "You will be free after this little bit, and the bitterness of the past two years has come to an end. Finally, you can come to Shahai and breathe a sigh of relief."

Yun Bailu finished drinking the wine in her hand, and didn't answer He Sansheng's words, but shook her wine bag which was already full, "Thank you. I don't dare to say I'm relieved. Every day counts as a day." She resumed Lifting the veil, Shi Shiran left the restaurant after leaving the table.

He Sansheng looked at her back and secretly clicked his tongue.When I saw this woman in the quarry on the border of Xiliao, she was dressed in tatters and was covered with injuries. It was said that she was whipped for disobedience.When she saw him for the first time, her calm eyes were clear, and her clothes couldn't hide the disdain in her bones, "Who asked you to pick me up? Where are you sending me?" She should know better than anyone else. own home.

This woman's appearance is said to have followed her mother Bai Zhi's charming face, but unfortunately, sunburn and illness ruined most of her face.She drank alcohol with arrogance, spoke very simply, and exuded a chilling dead air all over her body.Her father once had [-] soldiers, and her mother was also a famous female general in this dynasty. A couple living among the dead should give birth to such a daughter?

Yelang Bangzi sounded desolately outside again at this time, He Sansheng heard the escort soldiers around him still scolding Xie Penglai, then scolded the insatiable Beixia and the greedy and vicious Xiliao, and even scolded Jinglina Generally, he only knows the peace faction of Xiaofeng Wanyue, but his eyes are cast on the gardenia lamp in front of the door: the figure of Yun Bailu flashes past on the lamp.

Where is Sand Sea?Baizhi, who has been out eight times, and defeated Beixia's main camp, now has a female book who has been sticking to the frontier for more than ten years, and there is also Yun Bailu, who can't be changed even if the whip is dipped in salt water.

To the south of Jiuxiang is the Oasis River, and to the south is the Xiaoguan Yellow River, which is the hinterland of the Central Plains and a dreamland in the south of the Yangtze River. 40 years of life is like a dream, Huangsha Wanli rushed here, all ambitions and ambitions of men are buried in the sound of dice, and they are all buried in the wine glass.

Only the gardenia red in front of the door stunned He Sanxing for a moment.
