Siheyuan: Spring and Autumn

Qin Zheng asked: "Is the tavern far from here?"

"Not far away, in an alley near my silk shop. It's very famous in the Dashilan area."

After asking about the location, Qin Zheng said, "I'll be free in half a month, and I'll go to the tavern to meet you for a drink then."

"It's a word."

Dashilan on Qianmen Street is the most prosperous commercial area in Beijing, with a large number of shops.

Among the time-honored brands alone, there are well-known old signs such as Ruifengxiang Silk Store, Tongrentang Pharmacy, and Rongbaozhai Four Treasures of the Study.

There is a saying in old Beijing: Go to Tianqiao to see things, go to Dazhalan to buy things, and love Beijing, start from Qianmen Street.

If a person wears Ma Juyuan on his head, Nei Liansheng on his feet, Badaxiang on his clothes, and Sidaheng around his waist, he is definitely a respectable person in the capital.

The beauty by his side was already a feast for the eyes, and with the delicious food, the two of them chatted and laughed throughout the meal, and the atmosphere was harmonious. Qin Zheng was in a very good mood the whole time.

After the meal, Qin Zheng took the initiative to offer to send the beauty home, and Chen Xueru naturally did not refuse.

"Xue Ru, please go in. I will leave after you enter the house."

Chen Xueru nodded, then walked to the door, stopped, turned around and smiled at Qin Zheng, then ran into the house.

That smile, at that moment, was as bright as clouds.

"Hiss..."

Qin Zheng couldn't help but take a breath, it was really like this: One smile from her is so charming that all the beauties in the palace pale in comparison!

If he had not been sure who his other half would be before, he now had an idea, and that was the beauty in front of him.

If this idea really comes true, the two heroines in "The Little Woman of Zhengyang Gate" will both enter the Qin family, one will become the eldest daughter-in-law, and the other will become the second daughter-in-law, and then they will love and hate each other for the rest of their lives.

"Puch!"

Qin Zheng couldn't help but laugh. It was really interesting to think about it.

"Just for this interesting idea, I will try my best to pursue it." He made the decision without hesitation.

Time flies, and half a month is gone in a flash.

As a novice in love, Qin Zheng naturally would not forget the agreement with Chen Xueru.

At the agreed time, Qin Zheng rode his bike to the Daqianmen Tavern. He was quite looking forward to this tavern.

Standing at the door of the tavern and looking at the plaque that read "Daqianmen Tavern", Qin Zheng once again felt like he was witnessing history.

Walking into the pub, just like in the TV series, there are two rows of tables, seven in total, the size of three rooms. Maybe it was still early, there was only one other customer in the store.

"Yongqiang, there are guests coming, go greet them!"

The shopkeeper He Dongsheng stood at the bar and spoke to the young man who was standing against a pillar in the store.

The young man said to Qin Zheng with a cold face: "Come on, how much do you want to drink?"

Qin Zheng looked at the man in front of him. Is this He Yongqiang?

You can tell it's him by looking at his face.

A man with a negative emotional quotient;

A man who is as stubborn as a donkey;

A man who has absolutely no respect for life;

A man without even basic humanity.

Even compared with the hated Fan Jinyou, this person is not much worse, and even worse.

In a word, it’s not a joke!

"Two ounces of wine, a plate of peanuts, and a plate of pickles." Qin Zheng said. He had longed for the pickles in the tavern for a long time.

"Hold on."

After the food and wine were served, Qin Zheng poured a glass of wine from the jug and drank it.

However, when the wine entered my mouth, I almost spit it out. The anticipation in my heart suddenly disappeared, and a look of disappointment appeared on my face.

The taste of the wine was very bland. Even though Qin Zheng was a layman in wine tasting, he could still tell that water was mixed into the wine.

After seeing Qin Zheng's performance, the only customer in the store suddenly laughed out loud.

Qin Zheng turned his head and saw that the customer was relatively old, about fifty years old, with a smile on his face, extraordinary aura and outstanding temperament.

"My friend, is this Qin Zheng?" the middle-aged man asked in a gentle voice, holding a wine glass.

"I'm Qin Zheng, who are you?"

Before the middle-aged man could speak, the tavern owner answered first: "This is Mr. Niu."

It turned out that he was Master Niu. Qin Zheng bowed and said, "Hello, Master Niu."

"I offer a toast to our hero. Please, my friend."

After saying that, Uncle Niu raised his glass to Qin Zheng and drank it all in one gulp.

Qin Zheng raised his glass and said, "You're welcome. I don't deserve to be a hero. Master Niu, please."

Qin Zheng has admired this Mr. Niu for a long time. He is a typical Beijing uncle. People who have watched the TV series say that he has five kinds of integrity, including harmony, righteousness, integrity, heroism and domineering. He does things according to the rules and is a person of integrity. Therefore, people nearby respect him.

This is the standard template of a Beijing uncle. As for people like Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong, they are no match for Uncle Niu.

And in Qin Zheng's plan, this Mr. Niu will be an important part.

He took a bite of the kimchi and thought, hmm, it tasted really good, the best kimchi he had ever tasted.

At this time, He Yongqiang asked: "Master Niu, how do you know Qin Zheng?"

The tavern owner interrupted, "You only know so much about Master Niu's abilities. His vision is well-known far and wide, so it's not surprising that he recognized Qin Zheng."

Niu Ye laughed and said, "That's right, kid. My ability as an old man depends on my eyes. As long as I have seen the photo of an outstanding person like Qin Zheng, I will definitely not forget it, let alone seeing it three times."

Qin Zheng raised his glass and said, "Mr. Niu, thank you for the compliment. Please."

After drinking another glass of wine, Master Niu said, "My dear Qin, it seems that you are not very satisfied with the wine in the tavern?"

Qin Zheng smiled slightly and did not answer his question. Instead, he said to the tavern owner: "Boss, if I'm not mistaken, your wine should be diluted with water."

Niu Ye laughed and said, "Well, Old Man He, I told you that what you did was not authentic."

His meaning was very clear, he knew that the wine was diluted with water.

"Ever since the Japs entered the capital, this tavern has been diluting the drinks. The Japs were unwilling to come. Later, the Nationalist Army came to drink and beat up Old Man He. You see, that's how it is. He hasn't changed until now."

Qin Zheng raised his glass to Master Niu and said, "Master Niu, you can just call me Qin Zheng. Drinking wine diluted with water does not feel as good. In my opinion, of all things in the world, only beautiful people and wine should not be wasted."

"Well said, we are of the same mind."

Uncle Niu laughed, gave Qin Zheng a thumbs up, then picked up the wine glass and drank it.

At this moment, a slight "click, click" sound came from outside the door, which was clearly the sound of high heels.

"Haha, the beauty is here."

Master Niu smiled and said, "Qin Zheng, the wine in this tavern is disappointing, but this beauty is so beautiful that she can make fish sink to the bottom of the water, geese fall to the ground, and the moon hide in shame. I'm sure your trip will be worthwhile."

"Master Niu, you are gossiping behind my back again."

Before the person reached the door, a voice came from outside the door, the voice was clear and pleasant to the ears.
