Willing to change Qingfeng to fight the rivers and lakes

When Zhan Zhao heard Zhao Hu reported that someone was looking for him at the door, he was a little taken aback. After Bai Yutang left, the Kaifeng mansion suddenly became quiet. A few days ago, he sent a letter telling his eldest brother that he would not return to the village this year, and his eldest brother had already replied. Let yourself take care of yourself, today is a new year, and friends in the world will definitely not choose this time to bother.

Who else?

Ask Zhao Hu, Zhao Hu said he is a stranger and has never seen him.

Zhan Zhao had no choice but to give up inquiring and walk out of Kaifeng mansion.

There was a carriage parked at the gate of Kaifeng Mansion. Zhan Zhao walked down the steps of the mansion gate and looked around. Before he had time to speak, a young man dressed in green shirt and short coat came before him and said with a smile, "Master Zhan, right?" I was looking for you."

Zhan Zhao took a closer look, and felt that the sixteen or seventeen-year-old round-faced boy in front of him looked familiar, but he couldn't remember when he had seen him before. Seeing that he greeted him familiarly, Zhan Zhao hesitated, and said, "You...recognize me? ..."

The young man smiled and said, "What do you mean, if I came to pick up someone, wouldn't I recognize Mr. Zhan? Actually, I can call you Uncle Zhan. We have met before, in the town at the foot of Mount Hua last time." , my uncle is Yang Jian..."

Zhan Zhao suddenly remembered that it was the first time to do business with Yang Jian. He was injured and sent out of Huashan by Yang Jian. At that time, it seemed that there was such a child who came to Yang Jian to say that something happened at home, but he just took a quick glance. What an impression.Now when he mentions Yang Jian, Zhan Zhao can't help but say, "Yes... is Second Brother Yang here?"

Chen Xiang said: "Uncle came back a long time ago. He just saw that Uncle Zhan was busy with his affairs and didn't come to bother him. Today is a young year, and I heard that Mr. Bao gave Uncle Zhan a leave. Uncle asked me to invite him. If Uncle Zhan has nothing to do, so let's go with my nephew."

Zhan Zhao was both surprised and happy, he couldn't find anything to say for a moment, thought for a moment and patted Chen Xiang on the shoulder and said, "Wait for me a moment." Then he turned back and talked to the porter before getting into the carriage, Chen Xiang turned sideways Sitting on the shaft of the chariot and whipping a whip, the carriage creaked and pulled slowly.

Zhan Zhao lifted the curtain of the car and asked, "Where is Second Brother now?"

Chen Xiang said: "Uncle Zhan, don't worry, my uncle bought a house on the outskirts of the city, and he is waiting for you right now."

Zhan Zhao also wanted to ask when Yang Jian arrived and what is he doing now?But looking at Chen Xiang's expression, it is estimated that there is nothing more to ask, anyway, I will see Yang Jian soon, and it may be better to ask him personally at that time.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the house. Zhan Zhao was a little surprised. He didn't expect Yang Jian to be so generous. I have to give three points, even if it is a routine inspection, I seldom come here to disturb, but I don't know what trick Yang Jian used to arrange the place of residence here.

While Chen Xiang opened the side door and pulled the carriage in, he greeted: "Uncle Zhan doesn't need to stand outside the door, come in quickly."

Zhan Zhao was somewhat dazed and followed Chen Xiang through the long corridor and the hall, and soon came to a bright hall, before entering the door, he heard Yang Jian's laughter: "This kid's hands and feet are quite agile and he didn't waste time."

Zhan Zhao followed the voice and saw Yang Jian had already walked out of the hall door to meet him.

Yang Jian was wearing a black cotton jacket with a circle of pure white mink fur on the collar, which made this very ordinary robe look luxurious.Yang Jian seems to be a little different from the past. In Zhan Zhao's impression, Yang Jian always appears in a calm and unearthly manner whenever he appears. Even if he is standing in front of you, you can't grasp it accurately.But now Yang Jian looks a lot more normal, his slightly pale golden hair is well tied up, and an ebony hairpin is inserted obliquely, his complexion is slightly rosy, and there is even the warmth of fireworks in his eyes .

Zhan Zhao just watched Yang Jian come in front of him, but he didn't react. Yang Jian took Zhan Zhao's hand to look at him, and said with a smile, "What? I haven't seen you for half a month this time, Brother Zhan already doesn't recognize me?"

Zhan Zhao felt a burst of heat in his palm, and he woke up immediately, couldn't help but blushed, and said, "Second Brother was joking, why would I forget, I just thought that Second Brother would appear again this time, It's true that I was a little dazed when I saw it suddenly."

Yang Jian said: "It's cold outside, let's talk about it when we get inside." He took Zhan Zhao's hand and walked into the hall, saying slowly, "Actually, I've been back a long time ago, but it will take a lot of time to make arrangements. Day, this time I didn't leave in three or two days, of course I can't make do in the inn." During the conversation, the two of them had already entered the hall, although the window was open in the hall, it was still as warm as spring, Zhan Zhaosi Looking down, he sincerely praised: "Second brother is really good at writing. As far as I know, this place seems to be a foreign house of an elder in this dynasty. How did second brother live here?"

Yang Jian gestured for Zhan Zhao to take a seat, and explained casually, "I don't just take it for myself. I'm old and I can't stand the cold in the Central Plains. I'm just exchanging a house in Jiangnan for a temporary residence with him."

Zhan Zhao was surprised: "Second brother also has a family business in Jiangnan? But I don't know how far it is from Baihualing..."

Yang Jian said: "It's me... the family's property... it's a little far away from Baihualing... Hey, don't talk about that, guess what I asked you to do?"

Yang Jian changed the subject, and Zhan Zhao's thoughts turned along Yang Jian's words. Zhan Zhao shook his head seriously after thinking about it, and Yang Jian said with a smile: "I know you are straight-hearted, and I won't beat around the bush with you. Today Isn't it the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, why don't you come over and have a drink with me?"

In fact, Zhan Zhao had already guessed a little bit. Hearing Yang Jian's words, he felt more joyful, and said, "How can I have a drink? This time, it's better if I don't get drunk this time."

Yang Jian said: "I'll just wait for your words, don't say I'm bullying you, I can let you have three drinks first."

Zhan Zhao said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I have never seen my second brother get drunk. Privately, I guess that my second brother is naturally very generous. It's just that I can't do it with three cups. At least I have to let me have three pots."

Yang Jian pretended to be surprised and said: "Three pots? I think you are determined to see me make a fool of myself after drinking."

Zhan Zhao smiled and didn't answer, but saw the young man suddenly came out and brought the tea cup, put the tea cup in front of Zhan Zhao with a smile, and said, "Uncle Zhan, try this tea, it's brewed by my uncle himself."

When Zhan Zhao looked at it, he saw that the color of the tea was deep, almost close to the color of thick ink, and the steam was steaming with a mellow aroma. He couldn't help picking it up and tasting it curiously. He felt that the tea had a slightly astringent aftertaste, and the aftertaste was sweet but warm in his stomach. There was a hint of sweetness in the tea, Zhan Zhao had never drunk such tea, so he couldn't help but look at Yang Jian curiously.

Yang Jian took a sip, put down the teacup, and said, "This is black tea from Hunan. It has been aged for a long time. You need to boil water and add a little saffron lime to make the taste not too strong. Drink this kind of tea in winter." Warming the stomach and warming up is much more effective than other methods.”

Zhan Zhao said in relief, "Second brother knows more."

Seeing that Zhan Zhao looked at Chen Xiang and seemed to want to say something, Yang Jian chuckled and said, "This is my nephew. I didn't bring any entourage with me when I came out. His mother was worried and sent him to come and serve him. You don't need to be polite to him." , if you have anything to do, just tell him to do it. Oh, his surname is Liu and his name is Chen Xiang, so you can call him Chen Xiang."

"Chen Xiang?" Zhan Zhao smiled. The name sounded too girly, but Zhan Zhao still hid his expression well, nodded and said, "It's a good name." After speaking, Zhan Zhao's heart suddenly moved. The name is also somewhat familiar, but I can't remember where I heard it before.

Chen Xiang refilled Zhan Zhao's tea with a smile, and said, "That's right, Uncle Zhan, please don't be polite, in fact, I'm just a small worker next to Uncle, if there are rough hands and feet, please invite Uncle Zhan Haihan. "

Zhan Zhao is really not used to being treated so hospitablely, even though Chen Xiang kept asking him to "be polite", but Zhan Zhao really couldn't show his face to "order" something.

Xu Shi could see the discomfort in Zhan Zhao's expression, so Yang Jian coughed and said, "Okay, okay, don't make noise here, go back and help Xiaoyu."

Chen Xiang left wisely.

The spacious hall suddenly became quiet, only the faint scent of tea wafted in the air.
