However, the owner of the barbecue restaurant actually still wanted to talk. After all, the conversation was still unfinished, but after thinking about it, he decided not to disturb the sweet and loving couple in front of him.
The barbecue is free, and the owner of the barbecue says there is no charge.
This is because people respect you. If you want to pay more, it will be a bit disrespectful and disrespectful, so Su Changan and the others did not insist anymore.
but
Su Changan thought about writing the name of the store to others.
After all, his calligraphy is now being boasted all over the city!
It made Su Changan himself swell.
But the boss was also a real person and said directly: "Girl, you are joking. I am just a small stall. I don't need a store name. So I don't worry about it. But if I feel better and still want to eat, just come! I will go back just in time." I’m going to study baking other things. Besides, if I get rich in the future and open a shop, it won’t be too late for me to give it to you, hehe.”
In fact, the boss doesn't have any other intentions. After all, he is a simple person. To be honest, it doesn't mean that he doesn't look down on Su Chang'an or the like.
Xia Fengxiang and the others could see that their boss was like this.
but
Su Changan took the initiative to write it, but he didn't want it, which made Xia Fengxiang suppress a laugh.
Although Su Changan was helpless, it didn't matter, so he nodded and blessed the boss.
Everyone left.
The boss watched the two girls leaving hand in hand, and seemed to be smiling and not knowing what to say.
He laughed, then took a sniff and said, "This young couple is so sweet!"
Everywhere I stand is sweet!
but.
Thinking of Su Changan's coquettish look just now, the owner of the barbecue restaurant couldn't help but get goosebumps again, and then he couldn't help but sigh: "It's amazing. I don't know what he looks like, but looking like that, it's no different!"
Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang walked straight towards the most elegant residence, where more people were already gathered.
However, on the way there, Xia Fengxiang asked Lian Wei to go to Jingzhao Palace Yin Luo Anxu and Shaoyin Yang Guofu to ask them about the Zoroastrian Cult in the capital.
He didn't say much, obviously leaving it to the two of them to guess.
but
Just when Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang entered the crowd.
On the second floor of this most elegant house, there were two people sitting by the window.
One person is naturally Xun Kuang and Xun Siye, who will definitely appear wherever there is excitement.
The other person is his senior brother [Poetry King] Xu Zuiyin.
…………
Chapter 343 Romantic people are the most infatuated
Xu Zuiyin held a wine glass in his hand and looked at the eager reading people below. He was filled with emotion. He knew that with the emergence of this literary studio, the prosperity of the literary style in the capital was already spreading to Suzhou and Hangzhou.
Xun Kuang lowered his head and looked at the many students downstairs, many of whom Xun Kuang could still name. Looking at them, looking at them as they were thinking or wanting to participate, he sighed: "It is human nature to pursue fame and fortune. There are only two of them." Only by doing so can one move forward in an indomitable way. Although it is said to be cliché, but it is really only by relying on these two that the literary fortune of Great Xia can prosper. I just hope that there will be some scholars who do not pursue these two things, like me. Yes, hey, I’m still too good.”
At the end, Xun Kuang picked up the wine glass and looked at Xu Zuiyin.
Xu Zuiyin has a good temper. Hearing what his junior brother said in front of him, he felt empathy.
There is nothing wrong with studying for fame and fortune!
But there is nothing wrong with reading to cultivate your moral character!
But comparing the two, Xu Zuiyin, a person who is only obsessed with learning, feels a little bit embarrassed.
However, when he heard Xun Kuang's words, he immediately smiled helplessly and said: "Master said that since you stopped going back to your hometown and indulged in Huajie delicacies, you have become more and more shameless. Sometimes he even thinks that you are almost surpassing him. "
After saying this, Xu Zuiyin realized that he mentioned something he shouldn't have said, and immediately apologized.
But Xun Kuang was very open-minded and didn't care about these things, so he smiled and said, "Brother, you didn't say anything wrong, why are you raising your hand to apologize to me? Besides, studying is supposed to be very free, why am I not feeling well now? As for the shameless brother, look at Master, he who stays close to red will be red, he who stays close to ink will be black, I still want to remind you to let your kid be careful! Didn't you see that I always try to make my Yan Shu stay away from Master Yao, Master Zhao and the others?"
Although Xun Kuang said it was not necessary, Xu Zuiyin still bowed slightly and apologized. Some things are just wrong if they are wrong.
Xu Zuiyin knew a lot about Xun Kuang's affairs and knew how sad his junior brother's hometown was for him.
Xun Kuang was so high-spirited in the past. Although he was born in the Xun family, he was not considered a Xun family because he was a distant relative. Therefore, his family was poor, but he had no so-called inferiority complex.
At that time, Luo'an City's "Seven Sons of Luo'an" had outstanding literary talents and had the best sign of the new generation literary world in Great Xia.
But after Xun Kuang appeared, the seven sons of Luo An dispersed. It was only because he, a younger junior brother, suddenly appeared. At a banquet held by the late emperor that year, he took the lead, fighting seven people with one person, and surpassed all the talents of his generation. Since then, there has been a student named Sa Ran from a poor family among the people of his generation, which has forced many people to completely give up on studying.
At that time, there was even a saying about Xun Kuang: "Like that golden star coming to earth, he is so talented, so bold and uninhibited, so optimistic and confident." ’
What's more, people in the city said, "No matter how many talents and names you have, when you meet Xunzi, you will bow your head three parts: one part for his free and easy style, one part for his literary talent carved by the moonlight, and one part for his emotion." The other seven points lie in Xunzi himself. ’
Everyone knew that Xun Kuang loved a woman deeply, so Xun Kuang was extremely independent and pursued by many women. Even the late emperor lamented that if he had a sister, he would definitely marry Xun Kuang. In addition, many powerful people wanted to recruit him as their son-in-law.
Especially when Xun Kuang ranked first in the examination that day, the scene of catching his son-in-law at the bottom of the list was so spectacular. It was said that he was trying to catch his son-in-law, but Xun Kuang was the only one caught by everyone.
However, Xun Kuang just smiled, saying that he already had someone in his heart, and even wrote, "If the moon is not long, the flowers will fall easily, and I will be melancholy for Ido all my life." ’
But suddenly one day.
Xun Kuang changed.
Xun Kuang no longer wrote poems about scenery, love, and thoughts, but only about beauties, delicacies, and wine.
Xun Kuang began to frequently live in the major brothels and flower houses in Nahua Street. If nothing happened, he would be accompanied by wine and beauties. He became what people said was a romantic and talented man who was no longer infatuated. Xun Kuang also began to behave strangely and shamelessly.
The world doesn't know what happened.
Someone asked what happened.
Xun Kuang lay on his side on the bench of the flower shop, picked up the wine bottle, drank the wine and said, "I understand, what can I do?" ’
Everyone guessed that it must have been hurt by love.
Only those who are deeply in love will change due to love. They can no longer get out of the vicious circle and will be trapped in it for life.
Everyone close to Xun Kuang knew that they were right.
It's because of love.
The root cause is the girl from my hometown.
Ever since.
The high-spirited and elegant scholar who deliberately kept his distance and respected the woman disappeared.
There is an Imperial College Siye who always smells of wine, looks slovenly and carefree, is always accompanied by beautiful women, and is nostalgic for romance.
Seeing his senior brother saluting him, Xun Kuang also returned the salute. Then Xun Kuang thought for a while and asked, "Senior brother, are the laurel flowers in my hometown blooming well?"
Xu Zuiyin and Xun Kuang are not from the same hometown, but their hometowns are only two days away from each other. In fact, if we have to count, they can be called fellow townspeople.
Xu Zuiyin nodded: "I don't go often, but your sister-in-law went once with her best friend three months ago, and she said it was a good time."
Xun Kuang smiled: "That's fine."
Xu Zuiyin looked at Xun Kuang and knew the meaning of the inquiry. He couldn't help but sigh, picked up the wine cup and drank a drink with his junior brother.
Xun Kuang took a sip of wine and said softly: "Last time, at the Flower Garden, I saw the carriage of Mrs. Xin's family. He must have come to the capital to do business? But maybe it was someone from her family."
When Xu Zuiyin heard Mrs. Xin's name, he was stunned for a moment and said, "Junior brother, the past is like smoke."
Xun Kuang immediately laughed: "So sensational? I just said that I saw it. Now I see her business getting bigger and bigger, and I am happy for her. And it has nothing to do with me! I just saw it, nothing more." "
Xu Zuiyin looked at his junior brother and thought for a long time. He even thought about the time when his master chatted with him before, talking about the current literary world and the college he built. When talking about his junior brother, the master was full of pride and said that if his students were willing , how many people are thinking about taking the high-ranking official position in the central government and just go there, but they are not interested!
But at the same time.
Mu Xu looked at Xu Zuiyin and felt a little guilty, because Mu Xu felt that he, a bad old man, had allowed Xun Kuang to fall to his own devices. If he had given a hand to pull him out of that trough, he would not be able to do what he did now. Having a wife at home was not like now, which delayed herself and even more delayed Ji Shuying.
Thinking of what his teacher said and looking at Xun Kuang in front of him, Xu Zuiyin frowned: "Junior brother, Shuying is pretty good."
Hearing this, Xun Kuang immediately became serious: "You have to say that?"
Xu Zuiyin was helpless, and then said: "What I mean is, don't be blinded by the clouds and smoke in the past, the bright moon in the clouds is right next to you."
Xun Kuang asked: "Master and Master Yao asked you to be a lobbyist?"
Xu Zuiyin shook his head: "I told you, but you didn't ask me to talk to you about this."
Xun Kuang was speechless: "Hey, you don't know, those two are thinking about me every day! And they are going to make trouble with the Queen! If the Queen hadn't been injured and needed to be taken care of, this kind of There is no need for her to worry about things at this time, she must really find it. Hey, brother, I am worried, our queen must have such a temper."
When it comes to this.
Xun Kuang saw several women wearing masks sitting at the table next to them on the second floor, and wondered why they looked so familiar.
But don’t think too much about it.
Instead, he continued: "Our empress has such a temperament that she is not a nosy person, but if the teacher and Mr. Yao come to visit in person, what if Mr. Shuiyun also joins in the fun and talks to Shu Ying? The empress will definitely come to me for a heart-to-heart talk. When she comes, what do you think I should do? Then I will have to waste some words, but according to the way the empress talks, I really may not be able to talk to her. Although the empress talks very little, But senior brother, you don’t know. Speaking of which, I’ve never heard of some of the words that little mouth is talking about, but they make a lot of sense. Just like the book compilation this time, the saying “Nothing is difficult in the world” , I’m afraid if you’re interested, take a look and tell me what you think.”
Xu Zuiyin smiled bitterly, signaled Xun Kuang not to say anything more, and then frowned: "Don't you like Shu Ying?"
Xun Kuang smiled bitterly: "How could I not like such a good woman?"
Xu Zuiyin thought for a moment and asked, "Then why didn't you dare to take that step and let Shuying wait for so many years?"
Xun Kuang was a little embarrassed. After a long time, he took a sip of wine and said, "I can't get out of that year under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree."
Xu Zuiyin looked at Xun Kuang. No matter how good-tempered he was, he was still a little annoyed. He also understood better why Master blamed himself so much and why Master Yao was so angry.
Looking at Xun Kuang, Xu Zuiyin, who had never been good at cursing in his life, held it in for a long time and cursed: "Idiot!"
Xun Kuang smiled bitterly. He was not annoyed that his senior brother was scolding him. He just felt that his senior brother had not learned a little bit about his master's ability to hurt people's hearts when he cursed without using curse words.
But in his heart, Xun Kuang was also bitter, not because he couldn't get out, but because he couldn't forget that girl. How dare he like such a good woman as Ji Shuying.
Not worthy~~
With this in mind, Xun Kuang went to drink, but suddenly raised his eyes and noticed that some of the girls wearing masks sitting at the next table in the same row were looking at him.
Don't say it!
It’s really familiar!
