In the northeastern part of Yizhang, there is a tavern in the pass.
The tavern is not a big one, but the owner of the tavern is a well-known affable person, and he is the most kind-hearted. He often encounters people who are passing by and have a rest, but when they see that they are short of money, they always want to take advantage of them. When you are resting, you don’t have to worry about asking for a jug of wine. You only need to wait until the waiter comes up and whisper that you want three jars of rice wine mixed with water. The waiter will naturally understand. I will bring you a bottle of wine for free.
The owner of the tavern doesn't have a big family fortune, and it took him almost half his life to open a tavern here. At first, the two or three waiters were confused and talked to the owner in private. There are too many to mention, not to mention such a sporadic reputation in old age. It is really not a job to make money. Maybe even losing money will not be appreciated. Why bother, but the shopkeeper just smiled and still acted according to the rules. When meeting someone who is short of money, they don't ask whether they don't have any money or they just come here to drink a pot of wine. They don't care whether they are dressed like a poor person or not, they still offer them wine.
It wasn't until the two waiters who stayed behind gradually became acquainted with the shopkeeper and talked about everything that they finally knew what the shopkeeper was thinking.
The shopkeeper's young world encountered a famine and had no rice to cook, so he had to go out to make a living. During the hungry season, he met a family who also didn't have much food left. But when he saw the face of the shopkeeper who was still in his prime, he thought that even Some couldn't bear it, so the shopkeeper ate several meals at home, which temporarily relieved his urgent needs. Otherwise, he would have really starved to death on the way. At that time, the shopkeeper, who was not yet the shopkeeper, asked that family if he was just idle and too lazy to go out to do any work, so he came here to have a few meals, whether the family would still allow him to eat for free.
The man in that family just smiled honestly and said that he would never encounter any trouble or difficulties in his life. Since he was so hungry that he left his face and came to the house, and there was still some food left at home, he naturally wanted to share some. Even if he was just pretending, if he starved to death on the road without these two meals, it would be a huge sin.
So the shopkeeper said the same thing. He said that those who travel around the world are looked down upon by people in many places. In fact, they are not weak in character. In fact, they are more arrogant than ordinary people. To break the bones, you still have to twist your neck and straighten up. Body. Since he has already lowered his head and planned to come to ask for some drinks to quench his thirst and quench his addiction, it must be that the wine bug has taken over, or he is really thirsty and has nowhere to go. Although his family is shallow, he may not be able to afford any dishes, rice, wine and water. It's still affordable. If someone really has no place to drink water, or no money to drink, with these tacit secret words, both parties will not have to leave the stage. The visitor drank and went on his way to the tavern. You won't lose much money by giving away wine. If you meet in this world, it's nothing but a free pot of wine.
So I don’t know why, but there are several taverns in the Northeast Pass of Yizhang, but this one has the most prosperous business. I don’t know if everyone knows that you can drink for free here, or they all think that the shopkeeper is kind-hearted and his words are good. The season is slow, and there are always smiles on everyone's face. Business is always booming every day, and there are rarely a few visitors.
"Yi Zhang has rarely been here over the years, but he is much richer than he was many years ago. It seems that although he is old, he still has a lot of energy to support him, and his ability to govern the country is still the same as before."
There were two people sitting outside the tavern. One of them had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. He was lean and shriveled, and his appearance was hard to describe. He sat crookedly on the bench, put one arm around the back of the chair, and looked at the person sitting opposite him with a rather deserted expression with a half-smile. The young man swung his glass of wine and suddenly felt happy.
"Not to mention, I thought that the drinks given here for free must be shoddy and inferior. But now that I have seen them, I feel that they are not bad at all. At least they taste mellow. The shopkeeper is also a wonderful person. I usually look forward to seeing Haoran Zhengqi. Those bits sewn into the face, if they really work, they may not be as good as the shopkeeper of this ordinary tavern."
"Don't say a few words when you go out, and especially don't comment on world affairs. If you listen to those who are interested, are you really not afraid of trouble coming to your door?" The young man's face was very deserted, but he could see that his eyebrows had long opened, and his eyebrows were drawn into his temples. Fanzheng stretched out half of a long spear from the cloth sheath on the table, carefully dipped the cloth into wine and wiped it. Hearing the words of the person in front of him, he frowned.
"Don't worry, why would dignitaries and dignitaries come here to drink and stop? But it's just a joke after dinner, it can't be considered true." Li Fu'an, who had a sharp mouth and cheeks shaped like a thin monkey, smiled, took another sip of wine, and was surprised, but by the way, He touched the package on the table, not wanting to be caught by the young man. He pointed out and pressed the former's palm to the table, then he could only retract his hand angrily and muttered that he was really stingy. "Instead of thinking about this little money all day long, you might as well think about what you should do in the future so that you live up to your trust." The young man teased, looking up and down at the person in front of him, "Li San, your skin is really not as good as Nian Ping's." In addition, not only are you very good at writing and calligraphy, but you also have Miss Zhang’s charming face, and look at your appearance, no wonder you still can’t find your sweetheart at such an old age.”
Li Fu'an was furious, slapping the table and shouting, "The gang leader's words are not kind. When we were young, we were as graceful as jade, and our skills were as fast as thunder. Although our knowledge is not as high as that of Nian, we are still good at martial arts. Saying this is too embarrassing, and besides, hasn’t the leader of the gang not found the person he likes yet? He laughs at every step, none of us can be considered a romantic person, and you can’t pretend to be a leaf among thousands of flowers. A capable person who doesn’t stick to it.”
Zhao Ziyang's face trembled.
From Nangong Mountain to Xiasong, and then back to Nangong Mountain from Xiasong, although it took a lot of effort to squeeze Li Fuan, it is true that he did not take any advantage. A lean man who seems to be tired and incompetent, speaks like a pea pod bursting, and picks out the bottom of the line, which is really irritating, even though Zhao Ziyang's recent efforts to nourish his energy have become even more clumsy. Even though he was a proficient person, he was a little angry when he heard such ill-intentioned words.
Seeing that Zhao Ziyang looked unkind, Li Fuan did not dare to provoke him again. After coughing twice, he looked away, pushed the pot of rice wine in front of Zhao Ziyang, and said hesitantly, "How about this half pot belongs to you?"
Zhao Ziyang had no choice but to roll his eyelids, but he did not refuse. He took the jug and poured a bowl of rice wine and drank it. Then he calmed down and said, "Don't talk about business, what are you talking about? Nian Pingzhi clearly knows that it is summer now." Songjing City is like a dragon's den and a tiger's den, but I still plan to try it out. Counting to today, I have been in the capital for two or three months, but I still haven't received any letters. Maybe I encountered something difficult. After all, I started my career as a painter. , It is very distasteful to those veterans in the court. Even if the court is busy with official affairs, it is still very shallow, and I am afraid that some subtle means can be enough to cope with it for a while."
Since Zhao Ziyang and Li Fuan entered the capital and then left the capital, they left the Dianbing Pass where they had lived for a long time and entered the capital of Xia Song. Until now, it is like a stone sinking in the sea. There is no news about it, and there is no reply to the letter. Zhao Ziyang's hand, now that I think about it, is by no means a good sign. Instead, it seems that he has no time to take care of it, and it is difficult to escape, so that he has not made room for a long time.
"I advise the gang leader not to worry about Nian Pingzhi," Li San said with a slight smile, "That guy is a scholar who has seen the world. To put it harshly, the gang leader grew up in a deep village since he was a child. Then he went to Nangong again. Although his cultivation level has not fallen behind yet, he has never seen the court, and he still needs many years of experience. But Nian Pingzhi is well versed in this way. Furthermore, Those positions at the top of the court are not likely to cause trouble for saints. Since they are still popular people, they can probably be avoided a lot. I don’t want to bother the leader of the gang. After encountering several disasters, I can always avert danger."
Zhao Ziyang could certainly hear the meaning of Li Fuan's words. He was speechless for a long while, stroking the dark spear in his hand. After a long time, he raised his head and smiled helplessly.
"After all, I never knew my family as I wished. Although it is only half a step away, I have been away for a long time and I always feel that too many years have been wasted."
This time I left Nangong and stayed in Xia Song Capital for only a few days. Most of the rest of the time was spent on the road. Even though Li Fuan had comforted him many times, he said that the time had not come yet, but he had never seen his parents asking him. After all, it was not in line with Zhao Ziyang's wishes, so he lacked interest all the way back. However, in Li Fuan's eyes, this young man, who had already surpassed his crown for nearly two years, had much to do during the shooting season. I don’t know how much strength has been added.
No matter how casually he said it on the surface, Zhao Ziyang felt uneasy the moment he set foot in the capital. It seemed that he was timid about being close to home, or he was filled with resentment and joy. It was just as the gentleman said in his letter. With his current character, ability and skill in doing things, if he wants to see his parents, it is still not enough.
"If you meet your parents this time and learn about your life experience, what is the gang leader going to say to your family?"
Seeing Zhao Ziyang finish half the pot of rice wine, Li Fuan's eyebrows became more and more curious. At the moment, he didn't care about the rules and taboos. He asked this sentence that he had been saving for a long time, and immediately stared at Zhao Ziyang's face, intending to peep out. Scattered clues.
"Tell me why I was left in such an extremely poor place, where I didn't have enough to eat all day long, and had to live among hundreds of families to live long enough to meet my master. Why did I have to be born in the first place since I was born without nourishment? To the human world.”
Li Fuan's eyes twitched slightly. "I don't want to ask any of these questions."
Zhao Ziyang, who was much tanned, looked at the clear sky in the distance and murmured.
"But I want to ask if you still think about me as a son-in-law outside."
"The blood is from the same root, and the bones and tendons are broken and connected. Even though there are countless resentments and resentments, and depression, but at this age, I just want to know that their bodies are still strong and they have lived well in recent years. Still not good.”
Li Fu'an, who always made jokes in the past, for the first time this time, did not answer the call. Instead, he waved to the waiter, asked for two jars of drinks, but paid for three jars of drinks. He looked at the person sitting opposite him with a complicated expression and his figure was as straight as a pine tree. young people.
