Chapter 32 No need to return

No one knew what the specific content was about the conversation in Shunhezhai later. Half an hour later, Pei Yuanhou pushed out the door, laughed at himself, and withdrew the spy from the Supervision Department who was following the Panlong Academy to monitor. As for the two masters of Zhiwei Realm who had been following the Prime Minister, no one had seen them again since then, and of course, no one would ask about them.

Three days later, Zhao Xifeng and others received a message from Zhong Li that they could walk around the capital freely without worrying about safety issues.

That night, Sun Wenzhen took Dong Erpang out to inspect the restaurant in the capital. Shortly after the two left, Gu Qingyuan also went out. Zhao Xifeng asked him where he was going, but he smiled but refused to answer.

After completing his practice, Zhao Xifeng was bored, so he walked out of the inn alone and wandered around aimlessly.

Shengjing City is located in the north of the Empire. Although the winter season is not as snowy as hairy and the wind is so cold in the northwest, it is also very cold. If this is in Panlong Town, there will definitely be no pedestrians on the street, even if it is the most lively Dongji on weekdays, it is the capital of a country. After all, outside a common inn outside the western suburbs of the city, people are still coming and going, and most of them enter the restaurant opposite the street.

After several rounds, Zhao Xifeng stopped and walked, he followed the lights in the night to the entrance of the restaurant.

Unlike his imagination, the restaurants in the capital were not taller and more majestic than those in Luobei City, nor were they extremely detailed carved beams and painted buildings. They were just a deserted forest with seven low buildings, which looked no different from ordinary houses, but among the layers of candlelight and tree shadows, there was also a sense of openness and elegance.

What he didn't know was that this was the most famous restaurant in the capital for a year. According to legend, Liang Dongyuan, the leader of the student movement, worked hard in the building to expose the dirty corruption cases of the imperial examinations. Therefore, students often gathered here to talk about the past and present, and criticize the current situation. There were many talented people with great reputations. Over time, this place became one of the main places for student movement activities.

Just a while ago, Liang Dongyuan was assassinated by a criminal person after a parade. The next day, hundreds of students gathered here to mourn the spiritual leader in their hearts. On that day, heavy snow fell from Shengjing, and the whole city was covered with silver. Liang Dongyuan's reputation fell into this city with heavy snow. Since then, this ordinary scholar who died in the hands of the "royalists" is no longer ordinary. His name has become a banner of the student movement and a totem. Some students even say that he is a contemporary sage.

Under this atmosphere, the restaurant in the western suburbs also became famous. The number of tourists increased sharply for a while, and even the sales of wine increased three times.

Of course, Zhao Xifeng didn't know this. At this moment, he looked up at the restaurant's randomly scribbled store name "No need to return". He thought silently in his heart that this was not a good sign. He still had to return to Beijing this time, and he had to take his father back together.

Just as Zhao Xifeng looked up and was in a daze, someone suddenly heard him say to him: "Hey, we don't sell wine to children here."

When Zhao Xifeng heard this, he looked at it and found the owner of the voice under the dead branches of the peach tree.

It was a woman, a woman who made Zhao Xifeng understand "women" for the first time.

The northwest is bitter and cold, and women often have to work like men, so they are exposed to the sun and wind all year round. In fact, the gender differences sometimes don’t look so obvious. Among Zhao Xifeng’s peers, Li Xuan has been weak since childhood, and Zhao Xifeng has always regarded him as his sister. As for Zhong Li, he is cold and domineering, even ordinary men are not as good as those of ordinary men. Although his face is pretty, he has nothing to do with the word "woman".

But the woman who was leaning against the tree trunk in front of her was tall, with her mouth curled upwards, and a long velvet skirt flowed down her gentle curves. A fox fur under her neck added a bit of charm to her. She was grand and graceful, more clear than the women who were soaked in the plum rain on Jiangnan Road, and more delicate than the women in the wind and sand in the north.

Such women are often the beauty of the sword immortal in the story book, or the king's favored concubine in the legendary story. They only need to take a glance at it, but forget it for a lifetime.

The woman saw that Zhao Xifeng stopped looking at the signboard, but looked at him blankly, without saying a word for a while, nodded helplessly and said, "That's right, there is no need to return here. I guess this young master came here for the deeds of Mr. Liang Dongyuan and Liang. Sorry, the shop still has to do business. If you don't spend money, you will not be able to visit. I think the young master said that it is not as high as 16, so you can't buy wine in this store. It's better to come again in a few years."

Zhao Xifeng came back to his senses, smiled and shook his head and said, "This sister, the student is just sponsoring nearby. She is very bored at night and walks around and doesn't know Liang Dongyuan. Naturally, she doesn't come here to delay your business. I'm sorry for you."

"Aren't you a student of the school? You should also be a student in the government office, but your accent sounds like the one from the northwest," the woman continued to ask with a little doubt.

"I really don't know Mr. Liang, nor have I participated in the Student Movement." Zhao Xifeng shook his head. "I have some understanding of the student Movement idea, but I don't fully agree with it."

The woman was obviously relieved, and her expression was even a little relieved. She then said, "It's good to not agree. Let me tell you, actually, I don't agree with my sister. These students don't study hard, drink and brag about me every day, saying that they want a new policy and ask Emperor Renzong to step down. As a result, I haven't heard what their new policy is for so long. Maybe it's just to bring a group of students to quarrel in the court. Whoever wins the quarrels will listen to whom, but if there is no emperor, who will judge their winning or losing?"

"Sister, don't ask me, I don't know," Zhao Xifeng said with a smile, "but there are some things that students dare not agree with in what you said just now."

"Well, then you can tell me." The woman hugged her arms with her hands, with a very interesting expression. When she became an adult, those who did not know her true identity were often shocked by her beauty. They were either restrained or pretended to behave. Those who knew her true identity were scared into quails. It was really boring to get along with each other. Now that she finally met a boy from another country, she naturally had to tease her.

Zhao Xifeng smiled and said, "There are two points. One is that the student's home is in the northwest. When he went to Beijing this time, he was away from home for thousands of miles. Thinking of his old age, he wanted to bring a pot of good wine in the capital to do his filial piety. But his sister was unwilling to help me. You forbidden to sell my wine but didn't ask the reason. This is wrong with you."

The woman put away her joking expression, nodded solemnly, and said, "It turns out it is a filial piety wine, but it's not right for me. Now, I'll give you this jar of girl. I don't need to return to the top scholar Hong's three-year old Chen. I'm sorry to leave. I don't know what it is."

The woman took out a porcelain altar like a magic trick and handed it to Zhao Xifeng.

Zhao Xifeng held a wine jar in his hand, and after a while, he suddenly slapped Kaifeng mud with his palm. After drinking a few sips, he said with a hint of a hint: "This is the second point, who said that you are not allowed to drink before the sixteenth time? I have been drinking since I was four years old. This jar belongs to me. I'll let me go to the store to buy another jar and bring it to my father?"
