Chapter 129: The world has its own fate

The belated birthday gift of the British Gong Zhang Fu was really heavy, but he said that the elders had to give the younger generations a resign, and Zhang Yue simply accepted it. For Zhang Fu, who is 3,000 stones old and has countless granges under his name, these are nothing, but for him, these things are very important.

At least, it means that he doesn't have to do anything by accumulating the one hundred and fifty yuan of treasure money every month, and he finally has the first not a small amount of capital. After all, even if he has a little success now, and he can talk to some elders about where he wants to spend a lot of money, there must be a reason for spending money, and he doesn't want to be regarded as a person who doesn't do his job.

After arriving in Beijing for several months, Zhang Yue was busy taking care of Zhang Fu's illness in the dark, but now he passed this hurdle safely, and it was the day before the Lantern Festival, and before he could speak, Zhang Fu "drove out" him. So, he visited Du Zhen, Yang Rong and Shen Du one by one, and after each giving a festival gift, seeing that it was not early, he asked Peng Shisan if there was any good restaurant to eat. As a result, Peng Shisansi didn't say a word, and walked through several alleys, and actually took him to a noodle restaurant.

Entrusting the horse to the care of the man, Peng Shisan found a clean table familiarly, and said with a smile as soon as he sat down: "If the two boys of Liansheng Lianhu knew that their young master actually came here to eat mutton noodles, I was afraid that they would complain about me when they turned around!" However, this good thing really can't be on those big-name restaurants and restaurants, and if you want to talk about the noodles of Beijing City, it has to be this small place. ”

Before Zhang Yue could answer, the guy who came up to wipe the table immediately became proud when he heard Peng Shisan's words, and hurriedly said: "This guest officer is really an old guest, not a small boast, there is no noodle restaurant in Beijing City that can match ours!" This taste, texture, and ingredients, you know the benefits of eating it, and you may come back in the future......"

Zhang Yue was listening to the guy blowing the sky. suddenly heard a strange voice from the side, and immediately found that Peng Shisan's face was strange. After being stunned for a while, he suddenly realized, pointed at Peng Shisan and scolded with a smile: "Old Peng, this side hasn't been sent yet, your stomach won't be angry!" ”

"Hey, Lao Peng, I'm really hungry, maybe I'll have to eat three or four bowls later. Anyway, today, young master, you have a treat! ”

"Come on, no matter how poor I am, there is still money for these bowls of noodles, how many bowls do you like to eat!"

The man was even more proud when he heard this, polished the oily table, and after turning around, he happily returned with two bowls of noodles. Zhang Yue saw that there were more than a dozen thin slices of mutton resting on the mellow soup, and then looked at Peng Shisan as if he was hungry for food, shook his head and began to eat. Really. This noodle is smooth and chewy, and the mutton is even more delicious, and in less than a while, a large bowl of noodles was eaten by him. As he was drinking the soup, he suddenly felt a heavy slap on his back.

"Hey. Brother Yue, I have heard that you have come to Beijing City for a long time, and I didn't see you coming to see us! ”

"That's it, Daddy and the fourth sister have been talking several times!"

Zhang Yue was choked by the sudden attack and coughed repeatedly. Hearing the two voices next to him who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic, he immediately understood who these two were. Sure enough, after turning around, he saw Meng Fan and Meng Tao standing there with a smile.

Although he went out to pay a visit today, because it was not snowing, he did not wear those cloaks to avoid the snow, but only wore a royal blue cardigan, which did not look luxurious. At this time. Finding that Meng Fan was wearing an eggplant-colored bucket pattern brocade daji, Meng Tao was wearing a lotus green camel hair cloak, and the soft hats on their heads were all crowned with crystal beads, all of which looked like noble sons, which were incompatible with this simple and almost simple ground pavilion, and he couldn't help but glance around again.

Sure enough, this small noodle restaurant frequented by civilians rarely had such well-dressed characters frequented, and all the diners around looked this way. The two people who were watching did not have this consciousness at all. Meng Fan also sat down on the stool opposite Zhang Yue enthusiastically: "It's still Brother Tao's eyes are sharp, let's ride a horse and pass by." He saw you at a glance! Since the British public is cured, don't be bored at home, it's okay for everyone to go out and have fun? It's a coincidence that I bumped into it today, and the king of Anyang happened to gather a lot of people to compete in archery, do you want to go? ”

Meng Tao also propped up the table with his hand, and tried his best to pout: "Brother Yue, King Anyang has a good impression of you, so you can go with you!" If you don't know how to shoot arrows, it doesn't matter, with our brothers here, no one dares to laugh at you! Besides, the fourth sister also happened to be invited by Princess Anyang to go there to enjoy the plum blossoms, just behind us, maybe we can meet it! ”

Zhang Yue knew that it was not good when he heard the two brothers shouting the three words King Anyang, and sure enough, as soon as he heard such a prominent title, many diners who had not finished eating dropped their money and slipped away quietly, while Peng Shisan, who was next to him, frowned. For fear that these two people would shout out something that would not happen again, he hurriedly dropped a half-coin treasure bill and pulled Meng Tao out of the door.

"In public, be careful when you speak in the future!"

Meng Fan smiled when he chased out: "Everyone knows that Daddy is the commander of the guards in Changshan, we have been playing with King Anyang since we were children, and it is not a day or two, Brother Biyue, be careful!" Well, you didn't say it just now, our brother just said yes. Come on, why don't you hurry up and serve Young Master Yue and get on the horse! ”

Seeing that the guards of the Meng family who stayed outside hula-la-la, Peng Shisan stepped forward and was about to block it, but he felt a hand on his shoulder. He and Zhang Yue have been together for a total of no less than three years, and since he knows the temper of this master, he was a little surprised at this time, so he simply increased his tone and said: "Young master, we are going out to pay respects, and we should worship the guests at this time!" ”

Neither Meng Fan nor Meng Tao had ever seen Peng Shisan, and they couldn't help but be a little annoyed when they saw a subordinate actually overstepping their bounds. At this time, Zhang Yue coughed at the right time, pulled the two brothers and muttered a few words, and then beckoned Peng Shisan to the side.

"Lao Peng, I know that you are worried about the previous King of Hengshan. Only King Zhao is still the guard of Beijing, and since the two brothers of the Meng family have been invited to each other, it is always impossible for us to refuse like this. As he spoke, he remembered the unsolved case of the brocade guard that had not been concluded so far, and his brows were unconsciously locked together, and then he smiled again, "Since it is an arrow competition over there today, you know my half-trick kung fu, and I will have to ask you to show your hand when the time comes." ”

Peng Shisan was still a little resentful of King Hengshan's troubles with the British Mansion at the beginning, and he thought that those young royal families were all the way. So when he heard about it, he was a little unhappy to go to Anyang Palace. At this time, Zhang Yue said this, he thought that the blunt words just now were quite excessive, scratched his head and bowed down and said: "Just now I didn't speak properly, the British Duke asked me to listen to all the young master you, I will go wherever you say." ”

Zhang Yue smiled and patted Peng Shisan's arm, and stepped forward to say a few words to the Meng family brothers. After all, Peng 13 is not only the general of the British government, but also has the nature of a half-teacher and half-friend. It's not fun to put that on the shelf. After praising Meng Fan and Meng Tao a few words, he saw the two of them open their mouths wide, revealing a shocked look.

Meng Fan and Meng Tao learned that Peng Shisan was a general who followed the British Gongnan to fight in the north, and immediately threw away the initial annoyance. Although the two of them boasted in front of Zhang Yue, their archery skills were really ordinary, that is, one of them was an old general of the Meng family who came from the Battle of Jingyan, and at this time, Peng Shisan was naturally happy to have such a battle-hardened person. At that moment, a group of people got on their horses together. The wind swept through the alley, but they didn't expect the guy in the noodle shop behind them to stand in the doorway and stare at their backs.

After a long time, the young man who was gushing like a river just now shouted at the counter inside: "Shopkeeper, it's easy for such a group of distinguished guests to come to our noodle restaurant, and no one will be allowed to step on the threshold in the future." You're going to have to pay me for the processing! ”

"Stinky boy looking for a fight! If those noble sons come often, my store will simply be closed and cleaned! ”

After a small disturbance in the noodle restaurant, the group ran along the streets and alleys for a while, and then came to the east corner gate of Anyang Wangfu. It is different from the quiet English Beppu. This is located in the most lively North Street in Beijing, only they come in and go straight to the gate of the palace, but the alley is not allowed to be entered. When Kankanle stopped his horse, Zhang Yue saw a car parked in front of the door, and there were several guards beside the car.

"What a coincidence, the fourth sister has also arrived!"

Meng Fan turned over and dismounted and ran towards the carriage, shouting before he could stand firmly: "Fourth sister, look who Brother Tao and I brought here!" ”

"With the second young master, who do you bring here, the young lady doesn't bother to pay attention. What good people can be with you? ”

The girl who had already gotten out of the car, Red Sleeves, muttered angrily, but when she looked in the direction of Meng Fanlai, she was taken aback, and quickly lifted the curtain and poked her head in and said something. After a short time, Meng Min leaned on the wall of the carriage and got out of the car with his red-sleeved hands, and when he saw Zhang Yue walking forward quickly, he was slightly surprised and then showed a hint of joy.

Meng Tao also stepped forward at this time. Afraid that the world will not be chaotic, he smiled and said, "I'll just say it." The fourth sister is happy to know that Brother Yue is coming! ”

When the brothers were proud, they glared at Meng Min. Immediately put away the smile on his face. Although Meng Min is ranked fourth among the sisters of the first cousin, she is the eldest sister in their family, not a concubine is better than a concubine, Rao is that they are not afraid of the sky and the earth outside, but they are also subdued when they meet her. At this time, the two of them crept to the side, beckoned a few attendants and entered the door with a smile. Peng Shisan, who was leading two horses not far away, looked at this side, and a smile of sudden realization appeared on his face.

There were no idle people waiting, so Meng Min asked generously: "Brother Yue, I heard that the British Duke's illness has almost healed, and you have been really hard these days." It's rare for you to relax for a day, but Brother Fan and Brother Tao are ignorant and pull you here. But you're tired on weekdays, and now you're playing archery, and it's good to be laborious! ”

"Fourth sister, you have said all the local words, can I still say a word?"

Zhang Yue replied with a smile, and suddenly there was a low exclamation next to him, and then he saw that there was a woman wrapped in a half-worn felt coat in the seat next to the coachman. He was wondering, but when he saw the woman jump out of the car and stumble over him, she fell to her knees and kowtowed without saying a word.

"Little Engong, please accept the little woman's worship!"
