The moon is sixteen on the fifteenth day, and the Lantern Festival is over until the seventeenth day is over.

Baihua Restaurant is close to West Street. On the west side, you can see the blurred light market and the crowds of people passing by on the Yuque Street.

Xia Zhiqing sat in the elegant seat, and red fireworks reflected from time to time on the white lattice paper behind him.

He took the menu and pondered for a long time.

The guy who nodded beside him looked at the pair of striped cloud-toed shoes on his feet. He knew that he had met a village official who came to Kyoto from Jiangnan. He smiled and introduced, "Why don't you, my son order the special dish from our Baihua Building to pay tribute to you?"

Xia Zhiqing looked deaf and continued to flip through the menu.

The close servant Xianchun who came with him smiled and said, "We have ordered a fresh fried quail dish, should we change the farewell dish?"

The guy smiled and said, "Young man is such a bad word. The crispy and crispy quail is a kind of flavor. The lark comes to Chao, made of the bird's tongue, and another flavor." As he said that, he smiled thoughtfully at Xianchun, "These are two different dishes."

Xianchun's face turned red and his mouth twitched, but he finally made no sound.

Xia Zhiqing's eyes turned cold, and he closed the menu with a "pop" and said in a deep voice: "I invited my brother, Min Luan, Min Bishan. I heard that he is a regular visitor here. You can pick up what he likes to eat and bring it to you!"

As expected, the man's face changed, and the smile on his face looked even more sincere: "It turns out to be Lord Min's clan brother! I'm really disrespectful. Since that's the case, I'll ask the shopkeeper to set the menu according to Mr. Min's taste!"

Xia Zhiqing hummed softly.

The guy bowed and tiptoed back.

Xianchun said fiercely: "It's really a dog's eye to look down on people!"

"Be careful in your words and actions." Xia Zhiqing told Xianchun, "Let Xianqiu go downstairs and wait! It's easy to serve when Lord Min comes."

Spring first leaves.

The sound of fireworks blew out from outside.

Xia Zhiqing opened the window, and colorful fireworks bloomed in the night sky.

"It's worthy of being at the foot of the emperor!" someone sighed through the window, "The market is prosperous and the people are abundant!"

Xia Zhiqing couldn't help but be curious.

I didn't expect someone to be like him...

He poked his head out and vaguely saw two men standing in front of the window next door.

"Things are also expensive," said the man with a thin figure. "A plate of vegetarian stewed cabbage costs five cents of silver. For us, you can buy a car with five cents of silver."

Xia Zhiqing suddenly felt kind.

It turns out that these two people are also from Jiangnan.

He was in a foreign land for a stranger... He was wondering whether to say hello, but the fat man smiled and said, "This is just the price of Baihua Building. In other places, it is just one ounce of silver. Since we are treating guests, we pay the money, the more we are, the more sincere we are."

This was what Xia Zhiqing thought. He coughed gently, and the two of them looked at him. Xia Zhiqing bowed politely: "Take a tone, the two are from Jiangnan. Xia Zhoushan Xia Zhiqing, what are the names of them?"

The two looked at each other, and the fat man bowed to Xia Zhiqing and said, "My surname is Du." He pointed to the thin man, "This is my inner brother, his surname is Lu." His tone was quite reserved.

Xia Zhiqing smiled and saluted the two of them, explaining: "I have invited friends to get together."

After hearing this, the man surnamed Du smiled at Xia Zhiqing and said, "This is such a coincidence."

"Not!" Xia Zhiqing said, "I wonder who both of you are in Kyoto? Speaking of which, the New Year has not yet been over!"

The man surnamed Du responded with a vague smile: "I'm here to visit relatives too." As he said that, he turned to instruct his inner brother, "I don't know if anyone is here?"

The Lu person smiled and said, "I'll go and have a look!" Then he bowed to Xia Zhiqing, said, "Brother Zhiqing, please stay with me less," and turned around and left.

Seeing that the two of them were very perfunctory to him, Xia Zhiqing was quite unhappy when he saw that the man surnamed Lu was very rude and even more unhappy, he bowed to the man surnamed Du and said, "Since that's the case, I'll stay with you less." His tone was very dissatisfied.

The man surnamed Du smiled discontently and gave a greeting to Xia Zhiqing.

Xia Zhiqing felt even more angry and was about to say a few sarcastic words, the man surnamed Lu had already returned and said with surprise: "Here you come, Lord Liang is here!"

When the man surnamed Du heard this, he even turned around and left without even caring about saying hello to Xia Zhiqing. The man surnamed Lu pointed at Xia Zhiqing and closed the window frame with a "splash".

Seeing this, Xia Zhiqing was so angry that he gritted his teeth and closed the window frame with anger.

It was his first time to go to Beijing. He was afraid that people would be underestimated if they were not qualified, so he sent the servant who served in the elegant seat, leaving only the close-fitting Xianchun to serve by his side.

Xianchun went and didn't come back. He was bored alone in the house. He looked at the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, and sniffed the daffodils on the flower table in the corner of the wall... Xianchun had not come back yet, and there seemed to be a faint laugh from the next door.

Xia Zhiqing couldn't help but listened to him, but heard nothing.

Could it be that I heard it wrong...

He muttered in his heart, and the noise in his ears came again.

This so-called Lord Liang should be the person who was invited by the Du and Lu... Look at this, the person who was surnamed Du attaches great importance to this Lord Liang... I just don't know which yamen Mr. Liang is able to go to Baihualou, so I want to have enough pockets...

Xia Zhiqing was thinking, and first spring pushed the door open and entered.

"What? Lord Min is here?" He was delighted and stood up to meet him.

"No!" Xianchun shook his head, "It's Changgui brother beside Lord Min! He said that Mr. Min was called to question by the emperor, and he might not be able to come for a while..."

Xia Zhiqing was a little depressed.

He had always wanted to find a woman with a chaste character like his sister. He was moved by hearing that she could stay to serve her father when she was surrounded in Kyoto. He thought that as long as she was not disabled, even if she had pockmarks on her face, he would sincerely ask for marriage as if she was as salty as... Unexpectedly, she was a very beautiful woman... Her face was as white as jade, her eyebrows were as dark as far as she could, especially her eyes, were clear and bright, smart, and she looked so smart...

I am just a country scholar... Does Lord Min feel that he is not compatible with the Shen aunt, so he is just a rude word?

The more Xia Zhiqing thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was reasonable.

Seeing that Xia Zhiqing was silent, Xianchun couldn't help but say anxiously: "Young master, Brother Changgui is here to report to us. Should we treat him to a meal? Anyway, people have arrived at Baihua Tower, so you can't go back empty-handed, right?"

Xia Zhiqing came to his senses and hurriedly said, "You are right." He thought of the dishes he ordered. It was the first time he heard some names of dishes, and said, "Call Changgui and Xianqiu in! This dish cannot be refunded, don't waste it!"

Xianchun left and quickly returned: "Brother Changgui said that he would just ask the young master to wrap two cages of meat-filled buns for him. He would also rush back to wait for Lord Min. He also said that he would ask the young master to wait a little longer, and as soon as Lord Min left the palace, he would accompany him to this side."

If lost and gained again!

Xia Zhiqing was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Go quickly, see what Changgui wants to eat? Just pay attention!"

Xianchun retreated with a smile.

Xia Zhiqing couldn't help but sit alone in the elegant seat and think about it.

My sister told him that Mrs. Min knew about this. Not only that, Mrs. Min also said that although the aunt of the Shen family had divorced, Mr. Shen asked for both moral integrity and ability to find a son-in-law, and was unwilling to lower the requirements. In addition, the Shen family is now the aunt in charge of the family. She is a woman, so she can't talk to Mr. Shen! Let the brothers and sisters ask Mr. Min to come forward...

Thinking of this, Xia Zhiqing couldn't help but straighten her chest.

I have never been married...

I think Mr. Min is willing to accomplish this good thing too!

After thinking about this, it turned out that a glance became clearer and clearer in his mind.

White silk jacket, scarlet armor, blue-green skirt... The cat's eye-eye earrings swayed on her face, setting her skin like gelatin... It's a pity that I didn't look at myself... However, the sharpness that flew away as her eyes flowed clearly...

Xia Zhiqing was stunned.

Her eyes looked very peaceful, but without any hesitation, they would show a sharpness that was inconsistent with her appearance... Such people usually have a temper and reasoning, that is a capable person, unreasonable, that is a shrew... Looking at her appearance, it should be a reasonable person!

He was wondering when the door was suddenly opened, and a drunken man looked at him with drunken eyes: "Where are people?"

Xia Zhiqing said in surprise: "Who are you looking for?"

A fourteen-five-year-old servant ran over. While helping the drunk man, he apologized to Xia Zhiqing: "I'm sorry. Our master has drunk too much!"

When the drunk man heard this, he waved his hand and pushed the servant aside: "What, what's the drink! Ji Min must be afraid that he would be too late to go back and let his wife beat him, so he ran away. I've told him a long time ago..."

The servant was embarrassed and laughed apologetically at Xia Zhiqing while slapped the drunk man's shoulder: "Master, you're wrong. Where is Lord Liang next door?"

Seeing that the man was talking interesting, Xia Zhiqing also smiled and said, "I don't have any Lord Liang here..." As he said that, he suddenly thought that the man named Du was listening to "Lord Liang" and ignored him... He couldn't help but look at the drunk man carefully.

At the age of thirties, he has gained weight and has swollen eyelids. He is obviously a person who is extremely indulgent about alcohol and sex.

"Oh!" The drunk man leaned staggeringly on the door frame, looking at the servant with his eyes wanderingly, "Master, I, I was wrong!" He looked in a questioning tone.

"No, no!" The servant coaxed the drunken sweat, and Xia Zhiqing saw the man named Du running over.

He flattered at the drunk man's face: "Mr. Lin, Lord Lin, please wait. We, Lord Liang, are thinking about you and specifically asked me to help you." As he said that, he reached out to help the drunk man.

The drunk man stared at the man surnamed Du with confusion: "You said, Ji Min didn't leave?"

The man surnamed Du nodded repeatedly: "I haven't left, I haven't left. I'm waiting for you!"

The drunk man raised his head and laughed: "I thought he was afraid of being beaten by the tigress, so he didn't dare to come out to drink with me..."
