Chapter 13: Going to the Feast
Look at the day, it's still early, the barracks are in chaos now, and there is nothing to do when they return to their station, and now they are under martial law everywhere, and they can't get out, so the two of them have to sit here, and there is no nonsense without a word.
Xiaodong is a typical small people mentality, some inferiority, and a little cunning, a lot of anecdotes, including gossip from his mouth, also let Xiao Han have a deeper understanding of the world, a flesh-and-blood Tang Dynasty seems to slowly include Xiao Han, an outsider, and knead it into a part of it.
At the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, the sun was very poisonous, but the wind was very cool, and the two lazy people just sat like this on the big willow tree on the side, and half of the time passed, listening to the cicadas, and the two half-sized boys were tasteless until the evening.
When it came to the meal, the barracks slowly became lively, and many soldiers didn't know where they came from, and rushed towards the meal with a sea bowl the size of a human head, Xiao Han was naturally not in a hurry, buddy was going to eat something good today! But why hasn't this damn man come yet?
As soon as he complained in his heart, a young man dressed as a soldier appeared in front of Xiao Han, and he presented the invitation with flattering hands.
Because he had already settled with Xue Shu, the worship post was just a formality, Xiao Han took it with his hand, and without looking at it, he handed it to Xiaodong.
"Okay, you wait for me here for a while, I'll go change my clothes..."
After that, let Xiao Dong take the young soldiers to wait outside for a while, Xiao Han quickly rushed back to Xiao Dong's tent, and secretly put on the somewhat whitish robe that had been stolen from Old Man Hua a long time ago.
Tsai carefully dressed himself up, without a mirror, combed his hair against a basin of water, and then used a wooden hairpin to fix his hair temporarily, although a few strands of hair ran out, but this is also the best time he has set in the past few days.
He grinned at the slightly ordinary face in the basin, and a layer of fine waves suddenly appeared on the surface of the water, and the faces reflected in the basin were immediately unreadable, this damn broken copper basin......
Stretched out his hand to stir the basin of water, Xiao Han rushed out of the tent and shouted to Xiaodong to eat together, but Xiaodong, who was still laughing just now, changed his face, grabbed the tent and refused to go, saying that Xiao Han was going to kill him!
Xiaodong is not stupid, people invite Xiao Han, what is he doing with this little follower? When furnishings? Besides, eating with those people, his identity is not allowed, so lying on the tent, Ren Xiao Han will not let go no matter how he screams! There was no way, Xiao Han had to go alone.
As for the old man Hua, who had even stolen his clothes at the bottom of the box, he was writing a letter in his own tent, Xiao Han peeked at it, and his posture was full, as if he was greeting the heroes of the three mountains and five mountains!
Letters were sent out of the tent in an endless stream, and the old man was announcing his and Xiao Han's thoughts to Xinglin's friends, and invited them to come to Chang'an for a gathering! And only one word was answered to the question that Xiao Han invited him to go with him, get out!
So, Mr. Xiao Da went to the banquet completely alone......
The soldiers who came to pick up Xiao Han were very young, polite, and looked like scholars, and even spoke in a low voice, which made Xiao Han, who was used to seeing a rough voice in the past two days, a little uncomfortable!
"Xue Shu is also strange, no wonder I haven't seen him bring his own soldiers, if his personal soldiers are like this, it's really better not to bring them, in case of a fight, I don't know if he saved Xue Shu, or Xue Shu rescued him......"
The poor soldier didn't know that Xiao Han had turned him into a third-class cripple, and he didn't know why he had to invite this ordinary soldier with a prayer post, but this was what the master of the family said, although he had doubts. is still dutifully leading the way for Xiao Han.
"Mr. Xiao, please go this way......"
"Mr. Xiao, please come with me......"
"Xiao ......"
"Okay, okay, don't Xiao anymore! I'll just follow you! It's not a three-year-old child, you can't kill me! Xiao Han was a little annoyed.
"Mr. Xiao ......"
"I said, stop shouting!! Plop ......"
"There's a pit, Mr. Xiao ......," the soldier shouted weakly.
Xiao Han lay on the ground and tried to stand up, but fortunately the pit was not deep, and he only fell on his head.
Xiao Han got up from the ground and slapped the dust on his body. He now suspected that this pro-soldier had an enmity with him!
And the innocent soldier originally opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when he saw that Xiao Han's eyes were very unkind, he was suspected of wanting to beat him, so he immediately shut up and honestly led the way in front......
"It's finally quiet......" Xiao Han sighed and limped to follow.
Walking through the camp gates one by one, watching the heavily guarded gates open one by one, Xiao Han sighed deeply, the laws are really prepared for white-bodied soldiers like them, and for the upper-class characters, it is nothing more than a blank piece of paper......
Xiao Han doesn't know much about the ancients going to the banquet, but in fact, this is very particular, the more formal the banquet, the more rules, fortunately, most of the people who participated in the banquet this time were men in the army.
Chai Shao and Zhang Qiang are also among them, it is estimated that these warriors and reckless men don't pay much attention to etiquette, which is just what Xiao Han wants, but he really doesn't understand the rules at all......
I don't know how many streets I walked with the soldiers, and the road was not lively in the capital at all, but deserted, with few pedestrians, not to mention the little lady next door, the little lady next door thirty years ago had ......
After receiving several blank eyes, Xiao Han, who was disappointed, had to concentrate on looking at the scenery of the ancient capital, but before he could take a few glances at the scenery, the pro-soldiers in front stopped.
"Arrived?"
Xiao Han stopped and looked up curiously.
In front of him, a wooden restaurant four or five stories tall stood tall in front of him.
The carved stone steps, the finely carved wooden gates, and the rimmed wine flags fluttering in the wind all proclaim its nobility. If you look ahead, it seems that even the signboard of the restaurant is decorated with gold!
Baihua Pavilion, three big characters sparkled in Xiao Han's eyes, this name is good, really good! Sounds .........
The accompanying guards looked at Xiao Han who was about to drool in surprise, thought for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to interrupt the daydream of this distinguished guest: "Mr. Xiao? ”
"Huh? What's wrong again? Xiao Han was startled, and quickly rolled up his sleeves and wiped the corners of his mouth: "What happened?" ”
"That, it's okay, my master is waiting in the Lotus Pavilion upstairs, my status is low, so it's inconvenient to go up, Brother Xiao Han, please go in by yourself......"
"Lotus Pavilion? Skittish? It's so emotional...... Phew........."
Facts have proved that in the mouth of people who are filthy in their hearts, the most beautiful things seem to have a hint of obscenity, under the influence of domestic films that are not love or love, Xiao Han, an excellent young man who travels through the restaurant, remembered "Yihong Courtyard" when he saw the restaurant, this is really not to blame him, costume dramas are played like this!
After taking two deep breaths and suppressing the restlessness in his heart, Xiao Han stepped into this magnificent gate.
Stepping into the door, Xiao Han immediately felt like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, and it was strange to see everywhere!
Inside the door, the spacious lobby seemed to have a subtle sandalwood fragrance, smell it carefully, but disappeared again, looking at it, the antique beams and pillars, the gilded lamp holder hanging high, and the high counter are all very novel to Xiao Han.
In the lobby, there are not tables, chairs and benches that we often see, but like the Japanese, there are low seats, several low seats are placed together, and there are guests sitting behind them, all dressed in silk and satin, which is very gorgeous.
The so-called people look at others first, Xiao Han himself didn't feel it, a fat man sitting by the door took the lead in looking up and down at Xiao Han, who had just come in, squinted a pair of mung bean eyes and chuckled, with a look of disdain, lowered his head and didn't know what he was talking about with the people at the same table, for a while, his circle of people burst into laughter......
Xiao Han naturally knew that they were laughing at themselves, and they had heard a lot of laughter in their previous life, and they were all immune! But fortunately, it is also a high-end restaurant, Xiao Er's quality is still quite good, there is no dog to look at people low, as soon as Xiao Han entered the door, Xiao Si, who was dressed in a green shirt and wore a small hat and a white towel on his shoulder, hurriedly greeted him, and asked with a smile: "There are distinguished guests coming to the door, how many may I ask?" ”
Xiao Han was not in a hurry to talk, he first glared at the dead fat man fiercely, and he couldn't tell what the fat man was made of from his clothes, he could only see that he was quite rich, because there were several jade pendants hanging on the waist of this goods, and he also wanted this thing, because he had seen Xue Shui and hung it, and he remembered that when he went back to tell Old Man Hua, Old Man Hua almost didn't kick his loser apprentice to death.
Loser? How many copper coins can you get for a jade pendant, how many herbs can you buy, you have a lot of soldiers, buy that thing, you want to die?
But although this product seems to be rich, Xiao Han is not frowning, when was the barefoot afraid of wearing shoes? It's just that he's here for a banquet today, not for a fight, uncle, I'll bear with it first!
Walking forward a few times, avoiding the dead fat man, Xiao Han tried to pretend to be a frequent visitor and said to Xiao Er: "Come to the banquet, the table set by a friend!" ”
"Oh, which room, please? I'm good to lead customers over" The shopkeeper followed Xiao Han with a smile, still smiling, as if this was his natural expression, at first glance it was very enthusiastic, but after a closer look, it seemed to be less angry, and there seemed to be no fluctuation in the smile.
provoked Xiao Han to look at him strangely, and said in his heart that more than a thousand years ago, the hotel had a smile management?
"Please tell me the name of the room, I'll lead the guests over..."Seeing that Xiao Han didn't answer, the shopkeeper repeated it very politely, his smile, tone, and even his eyes did not change, like a robot, Xiao Han was more and more surprised.
But surprise is surprise, there are many strange people in this world, and no matter how strange this person is, he is just a shopkeeper.
Thinking like this, Xiao Han no longer went to look at the shopkeeper, but turned his head around to take a look, and didn't find any room with a name on it, it was estimated that it was upstairs! Thinking about what the talkative soldier said, Xiao Han scratched his head and replied, "Oh, the room is fixed, well, it seems to be called a lotus pond?" ”
