Return to the Song Dynasty

Zhang Yu didn't return all night, Zhao Man and others in the post house were still a little worried.It's not that I'm worried about something happening to Zhang Yi, but I'm afraid that something big will happen to the court.When Zhang Yuxia came back, a group of people got impatient for a long time, and rushed forward, asking questions in a hurry.

Chen Canjun, who was wearing lake blue brocade, squeezed the teacup in his hand: "But what happened?"

Yao Xiong, who still looked like a bandit in his long robe, shouted loudly, "What happened?"

Zhao Man, who was wearing a low-key light blue robe, put on a shy and cute face, standing quietly behind and looking around: "I don't talk, I just listen." '

"Look at all of you, are you all concerned about major national affairs?" Zhang Wei looked at the slightly weird appearance of the three of them, quite amused, "Oh~ what else can you do with me, nothing more than Regarding the matter of Xixia. The emperor of Xixia asked the Liao Kingdom to come forward to mediate and seek peace. The officials want to ask everyone what you mean, is it war or peace?"

Zhang Yi took off his cloak, and happily took the hot tea that Zhao Man handed over, "Sure enough, Xiao Man is still attractive." 'Look at Chen Canjun, who only cares about drinking tea, and Yao Xiong, who is yelling hungry,'Oh, there is no harm if there is no comparison.The world is going downhill and the old are not respected. '

"Is there any result in the discussion? How did the officials decide?" Chen Canjun was relieved when he heard that it was only about the war in the Northwest, and continued to ask slowly.

"What else can there be! Let's fight! Keep fighting, we'll kill him soon!" Yao Xiong excitedly explained his point of view.

Zhao Man originally thought that if he could directly extinguish Xixia's fire in one go, it would be done once and for all.But looking back at Zhang Yu's silent appearance, he suddenly felt that things might not be that simple.So Zhao Man tentatively asked: "Is the court short of money?"

Right in the heart!To the point!I have to say that this little guy Zhao Man is really smart!Zhang Yi looked at Zhao Man again, and gave him a big praise in his heart. "Children can be taught, and there are successors!" Zhang Yi felt very relieved, and the more he looked at it, the happier he became. All the helplessness and depression before have disappeared at this time.Mr. Zhang's mood finally regained his comfort, and he probably could eat a big bowl for breakfast.

"Well, it's a lack of money." Zhang Wei returned to smiling.

'Lack of money are you still laughing? !Are you all right, old man? Monk Zhang Er of Chen Canjun couldn't figure it out.

"What? Lack of money? Don't we have money ourselves... Well" Yao Xiong quit immediately when he heard that the war was going to be dirty, and started yelling loudly.Halfway through, Zhao Man and Chen Canjun who shot at the same time pressed down on the chair and gagged their mouths.

"Don't yell, what do we do with that little money? Just subsidize daily expenses. How can there be enough to fight?! Are you out of your mind?" Chen Canjun was furious and ruthless Yao Xiong was criticized.

"Little Xiong, it's not easy to talk about making money in private. This is Bianliang, we have to be careful. If others hear it, we will cause trouble." Zhao Man reminded him softly.

"Uh, uh, uh..." Yao Xiong admitted his mistake with a good attitude, and kept nodding, tears were about to come out, "You two should let go quickly, I can't breathe anymore!" ! ! After finally waiting for Chen Canjun and Zhao Man to show mercy and let go, Yao Xiong has already collapsed on the chair, venting more and breathing less.

"The Liao envoy is in Bianliang now, and Xixia has also sent an envoy, and it probably won't be long before it arrives. Tomorrow is another day ceremony, so we have to be careful. Especially you, little bear, don't cause trouble for me!" Zhang Yi took a sip of tea calmly, and raised his eyes to look at Yao Xiong.

The eyes that implied warning made Yao Xiong tremble, he stood up in a jerk, quickly straightened his clothes, stood at attention, and expressed his determination not to cause trouble with practical actions.

Mr. Zhang didn't have time to watch these little guys all the time, so he went back to the house to catch up on sleep after breakfast.The gods are pitiful for Jianer who is so old and has to stay up late and get up early, who can bear it, you have to take a good rest, and the most important thing is to take care of your body.

Chen Canjun is also a restless person. He finally came to Bianjing, so he has to travel at public expense to be worth the return fee.He greeted Yao Xiong, Zhao Man and a few lively little brothers from the northwest, and the group left the post house in a mighty way, to go shopping!

A few people strolled and wandered around, none of them had been to Bianjing.As far as Chen Canjun, Yao Xiong and Zhao Man are relatively knowledgeable, they have been to Jingzhao Mansion, which means they have been to relatively large cities.However, compared with Bianjing, Jingzhao Mansion is really much less prosperous.

The streets are full of feasting lights, rows of shops, bustling with people.Most of the pedestrians on the road are dressed in fashionable clothes, and the styles are all the latest and most popular styles.Especially for women, the beaded hairpins on their heads are jingling, and the silk and satin are fluttering on their bodies, so beautiful and rich.Even the village women who came to sell goods in the countryside were all tidy, and the Jingchai sarongs matched them harmoniously and beautifully.

Seeing that Zhao Man, Yao Xiong and others were amazed, they all lamented that Bianliang is indeed a prosperous capital, and the people are so tasteful!Several people looked at each other's clothes at the same time, and they all deeply felt that their clothes were not good.Either he looks like a nouveau riche, or he looks too rustic, like someone from the countryside.

The brothers seem to have to admit that being educated is different, and Chen Canjun and Zhao Man look pretty good in their clothes.One of them was dressed in lake blue, the other was dressed in light blue, both of them were plain brocade, without too many decorations around them.Chen Canjun only wore a jade pendant around his waist, and Zhao Man was even simpler, only wearing a small silver purse.It is such a simple attire that makes people look very clean and elegant, adding a bit of elegance out of thin air.Along the way, many women peeked shyly at Zhao Man.

"Ah~" The generals collectively sighed in their hearts, looking at their red and green attire, and then looking at others, they immediately had different opinions, and they couldn't accept it. "Hey~ let's hurry up and eat some delicious food to heal the wounds in our hearts."

"Last time people from the imperial court said that there is a Mingyue Xiaolou in Bianliang, and the food is very good. Let's try it?" Yao Xiong suggested first.

"Okay, okay, I heard it's hot."

"Then why don't we hurry up, what if there are too many people to eat in a while?!" The impatient one was already ready to run away.

"Come back, do you know where the Mingyue Building is?" Chen Canjun reminded slowly.

"Yes, then I have to find someone to ask, I don't know if it is far from here?"

"It's not too far away." Zhao Man calmly looked up at the sky, "We'll be there just two blocks ahead. It's just the right time, so go early to avoid queuing."

Zhao Man talked to himself and walked all the way. Several people looked at each other and quickly followed.After crossing two streets, we came to Huining Street. This street can be said to be one of the most prosperous commercial streets in Bianliang, just a little bit worse than Yujie.Everyone followed Zhao Man and turned to the right, passed two small shops, and saw the bright signboard of "Mingyue Xiaolou" and a long row of diners waiting for seats at the entrance of the shop, and many of them had no place to sit. Can stand and wait.

"(*@ο@*) Wow~ so many people!"

"This business is too hot!"

"It's not even lunch time yet, it's just these people!" The Northwest soldiers who had never seen this scene sighed in one voice.

"How long will I have to wait?!" Yao Xiong was deeply depressed. He really wanted to try this restaurant, but judging by the situation, he might not be able to eat it today.

"Then let's go to another place, go to the Baifan Building for a drink, there are few people in the private rooms." Zhao Man, who had been silent since he arrived at the door of the store, suddenly spoke, and dragged Yao Xiong back while talking.Seeing that the leaders ran away, Chen Canjun and the other brothers had no choice but to keep up.

Zhao Man dragged Yao Xiong and ran with his head muffled, as if someone was chasing him.Yao Xiong had known for a long time that Zhao Man had something on his mind, and the closer he got to Bianliang, the more serious his mind seemed to be.In other words, Xiaoman's worries are probably related to Bianliang.

Chen Canjun also saw that Zhao Man was in various ways since he went out this morning, but he was considerate and didn't ask, and wanted to see what secret Zhao Man had.Now it seems that Xiaoman's familiarity with Bianliang is far beyond his imagination. How could a foreigner who just arrived here be so familiar with Bianliang in one day.Fantastic, I am getting more and more curious!keep up!Continue to observe closely, what secret does this kid have? !I must figure it out!

In fact, Zhao Man is only familiar with this place instinctively. He can't help but lead everyone to the door of Mingyue Xiaolou, but he is frightened by the overly familiar and strong feeling here, and suddenly he is afraid to go in.Maybe.He is contradictory. On the one hand, he wants to remember the past, but on the other hand, he is afraid that the past will be too tragic, and he is also afraid of hurting those who are related to him, those who remember and those who don't.I'm afraid that it will hurt others, and I'm afraid that they will disrupt their peaceful life.

So at this moment, he doesn't dare to enter, he just wants to leave, maybe in the middle of the night when no one is around, he will quietly come over to have a look, looking for his former self...

"Boom! Boom!" "Ouch!" Zhao Man, who was walking away, accidentally bumped into a woman in pink, and knocked over the basket that she was carrying. It was sprinkled all over the floor, and there were two exquisite brocade boxes, which looked like girls' jewelry at first glance.

Zhao Man was dumbfounded at the time, and quickly squatted down to pick up things for the girl, and kept apologizing, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, this girl, I spilled a lot of incense powder on you, do you think the money is enough to compensate?" Zhao Man As Man said, he bowed to him in embarrassment, he was really ashamed to look at his face.

"Uh, that's enough." The girl didn't seem like a cynical person, she carried a messy basket, and took the money Zhao Man handed over with some hesitation.She kept silent all the time, staring at the backs of Zhao Man, Yao Xiong, and Chen Canjun and others who came after them, thoughtfully.

"Second lady, let's go, I'm afraid this rouge and gouache can't be used anymore, we have to repurchase some." The little girl on the side reminded timidly.The woman in pink still didn't move, she was still staring at the direction Zhao Man was walking in a daze.

"Second lady! Second lady!" The little girl was in a hurry, and jumped up and shook in front of the woman in pink, "Second lady, you can't just look at the good-looking little brother and then transfer your love, our boss treats you How wonderful!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? I think he looks like a person. He really looks like a person. He also sounds like a person. It's really like it! It's a pity that I didn't see the face..." The woman in pink murmured softly, "It's so similar. , It looks so similar, could it be him?!" The woman's voice suddenly became louder, and she dragged the little girl and ran towards the direction Zhao Man had walked, trying to catch up with Zhao Man.

'It's over, it's over, it turns out that the second lady has a sweetheart for a long time, and this time I saw someone who looks like it, the boss seems to be infatuated with paying by mistake, it's over, it's over. ' The little girl was forced to run forward with the woman in pink, and she couldn't help thinking about it.

The second lady in pink was none other than Jinse. After leaving the mansion, she went to Zhenpinxuan to help Lu Xi take care of the business. Because it was inconvenient to use her original name, she was called the second lady, and Jinxiu was the eldest lady.Jinse handles affairs neatly, has a straight temper, and never beats around the bush when talking or doing things. Lu Xi also handles everything properly. Occasionally, Lu Xi, a single man, has no one to care about his food and clothing, and even takes the initiative to help. Zhang Luo Zhang Luo.

After coming and going, Lu Xi fell in love with this beautiful and capable girl, and began to pursue her secretly and slowly.In fact, he just thought he was doing it secretly. The whole Zhenpinxuan, except for the nervous Jinse himself, didn't know about it, and everyone from the management to the sweeping girl didn't know about it.Everyone secretly helped the boss, and secretly encouraged the boss, hoping that the boss could catch up with the second wife as soon as possible and embrace the beauty.

This time, it was Lu Xi's younger brother, Lu Qing, who fell in love with the daughter of the owner of the restaurant next door, Wang, and begged his brother to propose marriage.Lu Xi thought about his two brothers, his mother passed away early, his father also passed away last year, and there was no elder in the family, let alone any female relatives. As an older brother, he had to be careful.

After some inquiries, they all said that the girl was pretty, with a delicate appearance and a gentle personality, but I was not at ease since I had never seen her before.But it doesn't seem appropriate for me as the eldest brother to see my future sister-in-law. It's so embarrassing to spread the word, and it's not good for other girls.

After thinking about it for a while, let Jinse go to give the girl some rouge and gouache, and bring two gold hairpins from the shop to make contact and see the girl's character.As the future sister-in-law, Jinse went to see her sister-in-law, which is fine.

Chief Steward of Zhenpinxuan: Boss, the second wife has not agreed to you yet.

Everyone in Zhenpinxuan: Er Niangzi doesn't even know that you want to pursue her, does she?

Lu Xi, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot: ... Shut up!
