In response to this, Zhang Mingwei just smiled and replied: "I know it in my heart. Let's go and have a look first. If there is nothing suitable, we will talk about it later!"
When Wang Erbiao heard this, he understood that he was not someone who could be easily persuaded. In desperation, I had to make up my mind to ask more adults to keep an eye on me and remind me in time if something happened.
After listening to their conversation, Zhu Yuyao, who was standing next to him, echoed Zhang Mingwei without hesitation: "Sir, you are very knowledgeable and you will definitely not be mistaken."
"..." When Li Ruolian and others heard this, they couldn't help but be speechless. How much confidence does Her Royal Highness have in you?
Even Zhang Mingwei himself felt a little speechless. It seems that his first fan was born in the Ming Dynasty: he believes in himself so much!
But having said that, Zhang Mingwei really believes in himself more. In the eyes of Wang Erbiao and others, those kind-hearted people who have guarantors may not be so in his eyes.
One thing Zhang Mingwei knows very well is that he will definitely become the spotlight in the Ming Dynasty. All kinds of people will fawn over and plot against him, and the servants in the house are a good medium to influence or manipulate him. In this case, the kind person who has the guarantor will be unreliable.
Well, maybe it’s because he has written too many novels and read too many novels, so Zhang Mingwei thinks a little too much!
Just like that, the group of people headed towards the east gate.
"The people from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division are patrolling, and there are very few refugees in the city." Li Ruolian was more familiar with him, so he was half a horse behind Zhang Mingwei and introduced to Zhang Mingwei, "Most of the refugees settled outside the city and waited every day. With the imperial court’s relief.”
This should be expected, Zhang Mingwei nodded and said, "How many refugees are there now?"
Hearing this, Li Ruolian couldn't help but fell silent. After a while, he slowly said: "Nowadays, the war is in chaos, and even the suburbs of Beijing are not peaceful. In addition to the recent defeat of Songshan, the imperial army was almost completely wiped out. There are various rumors, and the refugees are probably... or There are quite a few!"
From what I can tell, he probably hasn't been out of the city, so that's a guess.
With Zhang Mingwei thinking this, he turned to look at Wang Erbiao. When he saw his wry smile, he knew that he had probably never left the city.
Therefore, Zhang Mingwei stopped worrying about this issue. Anyway, when you get to the bottom of the field, you will naturally know a lot.
Zhu Aona was in high spirits and looked both ways from time to time. After hearing their conversation, I immediately thought of the historical documentaries I had watched. I couldn't help but feel a little heavy, and I lost interest and curiosity.
The group of eight people were all riding horses, even if they were just trotting at most, facing the cold wind, they were less interested in talking.
Zhang Mingwei didn't know the road, but Li Ruolian led the way. However, he knew that he had already left Chang'an Street, or the mansion area where the rich and powerful lived, and entered the commercial street, because he saw that various shops had appeared on both sides of the new street. .
Wooden, lantern-shaped, rectangular, round, all kinds of signboards are swaying in the cold wind. There are waiters standing at the door of many shops, trying hard to attract customers.
Logically speaking, this time would be around eight or nine in the morning, when there should be more pedestrians. But Zhang Mingwei saw that there were still not many pedestrians on this street, and most of them were walking in a hurry. Few of these pedestrians visit shops.
The waiters on both sides saw that their group of eight people were all riding horses, and they were definitely rich or noble, so they shouted at the top of their lungs one by one, their voices a few points higher, trying to attract Zhang Mingwei and the others to take a look at the store.
It seems that everyone’s business is not doing well! Zhang Mingwei looked at all this and came to this conclusion. Thinking about it later, I can understand it. There are only two years left before the end of the Ming Dynasty, and it will be a ghost if it can still prosper!
After walking for a while, Zhang Mingwei smelled the aroma of meat and looked up. But I saw that the signs on the street in front were mostly restaurants and inns.
So, he turned to look at Li Ruolian and asked with a smile: "Do you know which of the shops in front are more famous? Let's go and try them."
"To say it's famous, sir, you need to walk about a mile further. Not far from the city gate is the famous Zuixian Tower." Wang Erbiao didn't wait for Li Ruolian to speak, but he rushed to answer, "Where can I get it early?" The side dishes and wine are both famous in the capital."
When Zhu Ainao heard this, her beautiful eyebrows suddenly raised, and she quickly said to Zhang Mingwei: "Sir, then we will..."
Just when she said this, she suddenly came back to her senses. She was here to be the maid of the gentleman. How could she make the decision for him? So, she couldn't say anything else.
Zhang Mingwei smiled after hearing this, and immediately continued what she said: "Not bad, let's go and taste it!"
When Zhu Yuyao heard this, she immediately showed a sweet smile and nodded vigorously. Obviously, she also yearns for eating outside the palace.
Perhaps it was because he was hungry or because he was yearning for Ming Dynasty delicacies. Zhang Mingwei obviously increased his horse speed.
Li Ruolian behind him was a little worried because he knew that Zhang Mingwei didn't actually know how to ride a horse. But seeing that there was no one on the street, he didn't say anything. After all, he was the commander of Jin Yiwei, and of course he knew that if he spoke, it would probably dampen Zhang Mingwei's interest and make him unhappy.
However, Zhu Yuluo obviously knew how to ride a horse, and she controlled the speed of her horse calmly, just enough to keep up with Zhang Mingwei, who was concentrating on riding.
After a while, Wang Erbiao quickly reminded him in a flattering manner: "Sir, that's the house in front of you!"
Zhang Mingwei looked up when he heard it. Sure enough, I saw a signboard in front of me saying "Zui Xian Tower".
At this moment, a sudden "ahhh" sound sounded, which startled Zhang Mingwei immediately. His legs involuntarily tightened, causing the horse to misunderstand and rush forward.
Thanks to Li Ruolian's quick eyesight and quick hands, he immediately leaned over, reached out and grabbed the reins of Zhang Mingwei's horse, and restrained it from running forward.
Considering Zhang Mingwei's riding skills, without Li Ruolian's timely action just now, he would probably have been frightened, and a car accident would have probably occurred.
At this time, I heard Wang Erbiao's voice: "Are you blind?"
Zhang Mingwei turned around when he heard it. I saw Wang Erbiao waving his horsewhip to beat someone next to him.
Obviously, this man suddenly jumped out of the alley just now and almost collided with Zhang Mingwei's horse. The sound of "Ahhh" was made by this person who was startled.
"Stop!" Zhang Mingwei shouted quickly. He almost bumped into someone and hit them. This was totally a playboy's behavior and was not in line with his style.
As soon as Wang Erbiao heard this, he immediately stopped his hand, turned to look at Zhang Mingwei and said, "This guy almost hurt sir, he's really looking for a fight!"
"It's because I'm not skilled in riding horses." Zhang Mingwei listened and explained. Then he looked at the man and asked, "Are you okay?"
It was only then that he saw this person clearly. He was probably in his thirties, with a dignified appearance and an air of elegance. It gives the impression that this person must be a knowledgeable scholar.
However, after hearing Zhang Mingwei's words, this man did not answer. Instead, he glared at Wang Erbiao viciously and cursed: "A dog relies on human power!"
