Fisherman's Song Dynasty

"Group what? The public?" The officer didn't realize it for a while, and then said in a daze, "You mean white body?"

Xu Zizhen said blankly, "Ah, it's white."

The official got angry all of a sudden: "Bai Shen, why don't you go to the yamen of the Ministry of Officials to ask for your name, are you kidding me?"

Xu Zizhen was stunned for a moment, and smiled apologetically, "Master, you misunderstood me. I'm not here for a roll call. I just want to ask something."

The official servant also realized that he had made an oolong, touched the ingot of silver in his sleeve and said awkwardly: "I told you...ask me, what do you want to know?"

Xu Zizhen approached and lowered his voice: "I want to inquire about someone, the former Lanzhou prefect Wen Chengyan, Mr. Wen, where is he now in office?"

The official was very happy: "I'm the doorman, you ask me about the position of the fourth rank of the dynasty, isn't this still teasing me?"

"I can't get in this door..."

"Then you wait, I'll go in and find someone who knows and ask you."

The official was quite enthusiastic, and for the sake of the ingot of silver, he really went in, and came out again after a while, but his face became very ugly, and when he came, he stuffed the money back to Xu Zizhen: "Hurry up!" Come on, I can't help you with this."

Xu Zizhen was very surprised, rolled his eyes and stuffed the money back, and added another ingot, and said with a smile: "Whether you can help or not, there is no reason to return it, just keep it...well, you can tell me why?"

The officer had obviously just been scolded by someone, and his face was still a little green, but after the money was stuffed back, he finally slowed down a bit, looked around and said in a low voice: "The Mr. Wen you inquired about probably offended someone above you." Lord, I haven't let it go since I returned to Beijing, it just sits idle."

Xu Zizhen was surprised: "Then where does he live now?"

The official said: "Where do I know where to go? You'd better leave quickly, lest I be scolded again."

Xu Zizhen had no choice but to leave, he did not take this result into account, no matter whether Wen Chengyan let it go or was idle, now there is no way to find out his whereabouts, there are millions of people in Bianjing, where can we find them?

For a while, he had nothing to do, so he had to go back first and then slowly worry about it. As soon as he returned to the door of the inn, he smelled a scent, and then he remembered that he didn't eat much at noon. In order to get to Bianjing before dark, lunch was only I bought a few pancakes on the way to fill my hunger at will. I didn't feel that much when I was thinking about it just now, but now I've settled down and I'm a little hungry.

As soon as Xu Zizhen entered the door, he saw that Da Ye and Zhuo Ya had already packed up and waited for him in the lobby. Together, they were already hungry, especially Da Ye, who might have been hungry all day long.

At this time, Xu Zizhen also figured it out. Mr. Wen will not be able to find it for a while, so he will find another way, but the meal should be eaten as soon as it is needed, and finally arrived in Bianjing-other people don’t feel much, Xu Zizhen, who is a latecomer, understands it too well Yes, Bianjing can be regarded as the most prosperous city in the world in this era, if you don’t take a good look around, I’m really sorry for myself.

The inn itself also has food, but the shopkeeper enthusiastically recommended a restaurant for them, which is not far from here, called Zhuangyuan Pavilion, which is said to have been opened by a certain boss in the past. The status of the court and the location of the restaurant, Zhuangyuan Pavilion's status in Bianjing is unshakable, and more importantly, his name is good, ordinary scholars are willing to come to have a meal as long as they have a few money, just to win color.

After walking out of the inn, turn a corner and you will find Yujie Street in Bianjing City. This is the most lively street in the Song Dynasty. It starts from Xuande Gate of the Imperial Palace in the north, passes through Zhouzhou Bridge and Zhuque Gate, and goes directly to Nanxun Gate in the outer city. It is more than ten years long. The whole street is divided into three parts. In the middle is the royal road, which is the road that the royal family usually walks when traveling. There are peaches, plums, pears, apricots and other trees planted, and now the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, and there are colorful fragrances everywhere. Just walking here is already a kind of enjoyment.

The two sides of the ditch are called Royal Corridors, which are the areas for people to go out and go. There are many shops in the middle of the bustling and bustling. The Zhuangyuan Pavilion is located in the downtown area, right in the middle of the entire Royal Street. Xu Zizhen saw the huge signboard from a distance. , the gold characters on the black background are extraordinary, and when you get closer, you find that there is already a lot of traffic outside the door. It really deserves to be the first floor of Bianjing, and it is really full of people.

There are four floors in the entire Zhuangyuan Pavilion, but the top floor is not open at all. It is said that it is only open when the host entertains distinguished guests or when the royal family comes. Even the third floor is not accessible to ordinary people, so there must be Only dignitaries with certain strength and status can enter.

The clothes of Xu Zizhen and the other three people are not luxurious, but there is still something in the eyes of Xiao Er here. Xu Zizhen's appearance is magnificent, and his elegant temperament is dusty. Even Ohno's entourage is also Gu Panshengwei, and immediately led the three of them into the I went to a private room facing the street on the second floor, and immediately served tea and menus with a warm and respectful attitude, but it didn't have the taste of a big shop bullying customers.

There are many dishes here, with a variety of tricks, but the price is naturally not cheap. Xu Zizhen didn't have a chance to spend the money he stole from Jingzhao Mansion, so he ordered a dozen or so dishes directly, and finally ordered a jug of wine.

Xiao Er sang, took the menu and went down, and the wine came soon, with a small mouth and round belly, it was the authentic daughter red from Jiangnan, as soon as the clay seal was opened, there was a pure and strong aroma of wine, which made me want to get drunk.

"Good wine!"

Xu Zizhen immediately praised it, took the wine bowl and poured it, and when it was being poured, someone next door sniffed vigorously, and also praised it: "Good wine!"

"Hey, there are people who know how to do it." Xu Zizhen laughed, and simply said loudly to the next door, "Good wine doesn't separate families, why don't we come together and have fun?"

Soon the door of the private room was pushed open, and there was a young man with a fair face standing at the door, tall and straight with a slender waist and a heroic look in his brows that couldn't be concealed.

That young man knew him well, he came in and clasped his fists at Xu Zizhen, and said with a smile: "This brother invites you."

Xu Zizhen also stood up and said with a smile, "Don't be polite, just because your nose can smell good wine, I should invite you to have a few drinks together."

"Haha, you're welcome, little brother." The young man came in after talking, first bowed to Zhuo Ya earnestly, "Madam sister-in-law is polite, little brother is rude!"

Xu Zizhen was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing, Zhuo Ya was blushed all of a sudden, and glared at Xu Zizhen angrily, but she still got up and replied: "My lord made a mistake, I have nothing to do with this guy."

This guy?The young man was obviously stunned for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal. He laughed and said, "It's my younger brother who was reckless. Forgive me, my younger brother is willing to punish himself!"

"Those who don't know are not guilty, it doesn't count." Xu Zizhen also poured a bowl to accompany him, and said with a smile, "Xu Zizhen, what do you call my brother?"

The young man said with a smile: "My younger brother's surname is Wu Mingjie, from Yongxing."
