imprinted you in my heart

The sun rises and the sun sets and the day ends, the moon appears and the moon disappears overnight, and the moon passes again and again, and it is a good time for autumn harvest, and it is less than one month before the wedding of the emperor and empress.

The prosperous capital under the morning sun has long since returned to its former prosperity and tranquility, and the intensity of inspections has also returned to the usual level. All doors are opened and closed on time, and people's access is as convenient as usual.

As the sun gradually rose, people in the city began to pour into the restaurants and small restaurants, and the restaurants also began to get busy. The waiter was running back and forth, frying and cooking in the kitchen, and the bustle was in full swing.

Even the shopkeeper was so busy that he wished he could open his mouth a little more, for fear of neglecting the distinguished guests. Even though he had hundreds of people under his command, it was considered a top-ranked restaurant in Fandu, but once he got busy, he still felt that there were not enough staff.

So at the busiest time every day, even the shopkeeper has to come out to make arrangements. Seeing that the waiter is leading the way to serve tea and water for the guests, two young girls with bright clothes and extraordinary temperament come outside the door, and they are both old. The shopkeeper immediately greeted the customer with a smile, cupped his fists and said, "You two young masters are polite, is it the old rules or...".

Although they are old customers of their family, they only come once or twice a month, and both the master and the servant are very strict, and the shopkeeper doesn't know their identities, but they still have good eyesight. , I feel that the two of them are definitely not ordinary people, and the youngest one may still be a student of Mingdao Academy.

At this point, if you don't stop talking today, it is possible for anyone who sneaked out of Mingdao Academy.Thanks to the cleverness of his ancestor, he deliberately chose to open a restaurant near Ming Dao Academy, so his family almost never had to worry about the source of customers.

After Shimin reformed the off-office system and education for officials, the holidays for students studying were the same as for officials. In addition to the fixed holidays every year, there were sixteen days for Spring Festival, one day for Ching Ming Festival, one day for Qingxia Festival, and one day for Qixi Festival. One day, one day of Mid-Autumn Festival, and three days of the emperor's birthday. There are notes on the almanacs published at the end of each year. People need to do errands to renew the almanac to know whether the yamen is open or not.

Whether children should go to social studies, county schools, etc., you can also know by looking through the almanac. This is all due to the fact that the new almanac is simple and easy to understand. The characters on holidays are all red, and the rest of the day are black, so even illiterate people who only know simple numbers and big characters can understand them, and they are also very cheap, and you can buy a copy for two pennies.

Compared with the old almanac, which has many characters and is small and expensive, the new almanac is very popular among the low-level people. Anyone who has the conditions will buy a copy, which is convenient for remembering the date and cultivating at the right time.

And those who open the door to do business are even more manpower, and remember the special days firmly, because on holidays and important holidays, there are generally more people than usual. If it is a restaurant, it will prepare more ingredients in advance. If it is other Business will also? Appropriately buy more goods.

The shopkeeper must have a good memory to be able to open such a large restaurant. Although he just thought about it, he made a good guess, because the youngest girl really escaped from Mingdao Academy.

The current Mingdao Academy is not what it used to be. It has been adjusted and perfected from the faculty to the management system of the academy and the students. Therefore, in Fandu, any honorable family with school-age children will let their children take the annual entrance exam. If you can go to school, but you can't pass the exam, there are two major colleges of martial arts and medicine that you can continue to take.

Even those who were originally studying in this college, at the beginning of the reform, they were graded and divided into classes according to the comprehensive results of the three exams. Those who have reached the graduation level will be allowed to graduate, and those who have not reached the graduation level and are older will be assigned to the fourth grade of the university department. After one year, all graduates will graduate on schedule, and those who pass the studies will be awarded graduation certificates, and those who fail will only have a certificate of completion.

"Let's follow the old rules, if there are new dishes, we will also serve them." The one who sneaked out was none other than the once arrogant Ishizai. She was assigned to the university department because of her young age and poor academic performance. In the first grade, I instantly felt that all the previous books were for nothing, and I had to endure another four years.

She was quite envious of those who were assigned to the fourth grade, as long as they studied for another year, they would be able to get out of the sea of ​​suffering, but she still had to endure it, and now she finally made it to the third grade.What she didn't know was that those who were assigned to the fourth grade also envied them, the first graders, and could continue to study in the academy for four more years.

People, it is always easy to envy what others get, but not to cherish what you have.

Since Shi Xizheng was frightened by Shi Min once, and after her father gave a feast to the county king, she also learned from the pain, and she has indeed been honest for a while, but as the saying goes, the country is easy to change, and the nature is hard to change.

She also wanted to change her past mistakes and study hard to get a graduation certificate, but those books seemed to hate her. She couldn't read them, but she was still old? She was forced to fall asleep during class, which caused her to be fined a lot. Over time, she gave up and continued to live the happy life of eating, sleeping, and playing, but her behavior still restrained a lot.

She is no longer as ostentatious as before, for fear that others will not know her identity. Now she is not around when she goes out. There are more than four attendants, and her clothes are also quite clean. Basically little? Go for it.

The only thing that makes her regret is that none of her friends who have played since she was a child are by her side. Even though she has been in Fandu for several years, she still can't help but miss the hometown where she grew up, because here? She even has a friend who speaks the truth. No.But luckily there is now.

"Okay, two distinguished guests of Zhiqiu Pavilion." The shopkeeper smiled and led the way in front, and the words shouted behind were directed at a waiter who had just finished his work.

Zhiqiu Pavilion is a private room on the second floor, with an elegant environment. You can still see the bustling market when you open the window and roll up the gauze curtain. Shi Xizheng and the two of you used to stay in this private room, and it happened to be vacant today. According to the old rules to arrange the meeting.

Not long after Shi Xizheng and the two sat down, two uniformly dressed and handsome waiters came in with tea and four kinds of melon and fruit snacks. The shopkeepers left the private room together.

"Come on, what's the matter with asking me out today?" Wen Zhimian, who had been silent all this time, opened his mouth a little impatiently.

Although Shi Xi posted a post yesterday to make an appointment ahead of time, Wen Zhimian was still a little upset and said that it was okay not to disturb her, but this guy just couldn't listen to it. If her father didn't know, she wouldn't have come Absolutely not? Come on.

Shi Xizheng didn't care whether Wen Zhimian was impatient, as long as she came to the appointment on time, this rare time she didn't answer directly, but turned her head and said to the followers: "Go out and watch", "Yes" the two followers immediately saluted backed out.

And Wen Zhimian also brought two followers, but he didn't listen to Shi Xizheng's words. After all, it was not Shi Xizheng who gave them the money, so they stood upright until Wen Zhimian turned his head to signal, and the two finally ended Salute and leave.

Immediately, only Wen Zhimian and Ishi Xizheng were left in the private room, and there was also the market downstairs that could not be covered by gauze curtains that could not block the light but the line of sight, and faintly heard singing from other private rooms. music.

Not only is the commerce of this dynasty more developed than that of the previous dynasty, but the manufacturing and handicraft industries are also far superior to the previous dynasty. This is all due to the unprecedented popularity of the concept of pleasure, so the whole country pays attention to the art of eating, drinking, entertainment, etc., especially The highest-ranking civil servants, even if they fight occasionally, can't stop their pleasure-seeking hearts.

It wasn't until after Shi Min came to the throne that he fought against corruption and punished corruption drastically, and implemented the New Deal reform and set an example, the atmosphere began to change and restrain, especially the status of the military officer was greatly improved, which indirectly suppressed the civil servants, so that they could not Don't put your mind on political affairs? Come on.

The popularization of education, the rewards of agricultural officials and the expansion of promotion channels have also given hope to the people at the bottom. It is not an exaggeration to say that the year when the whole people worked hard.

But the entertainment and convenience that have been popular in the past are still continuing to shine. This is why there are now colorful cooking techniques, the convenience of renting a car everywhere, and the endless enjoyment of listening to books and music. There are countless people who love to watch shadow puppetry, and sometimes it is hard to find a ticket.

Even Wen Yu and Bu Qianxue like it very much, so in the past two years, the Jiaofang Division under the Shangfu Bureau has specially trained a group of shadow puppet masters, and they will perform on stage on every major festival, and the family of noble nobles is the same, so Shadow puppetry is quite popular, and it has also given birth to a profession that supports many people.

As for eating and listening to music in restaurants, it has been around for a long time. In the final analysis, it is also influenced by Zhongming Dingshi Family. Most people can’t enjoy high-standard dining etiquette, so let’s imitate it and listen to music or music while eating. There are playing and singing craftsmen.

As for Wen Zhimian and Shi Xizheng, these are probably what they listen to the most, and their tastes are naturally spoiled, so they generally look down on playing and singing? Unless they are well-known in Fandu City, they will ? After listening to it, it is obvious that this restaurant does not have such a player and singer. The two of them came here only because of this place? It is close to Mingdao College, and there are several special dishes to eat.

Speaking of which, the two knew each other, thanks to Prince Li for hosting a birthday party, neither of them wanted to go, but in the end they were both taken by the elders, Wen Zhimian showed his face and drank a few drinks before finding someone? The place where the cat sits and waits for the shadow puppet show Cairo.

As a result, Shi Xizheng, who drank a little too much, was looking for someone to toast like crazy, and finally found her. She drank a glass of perfunctory with a smile on the face, but Shi Xizheng was very happy, and insisted on pulling her to drink, With so many people watching, it's hard for her to shake her face.

Then, just because of drinking together this time, Shi Xizheng started to drink and chat with her every three to five days. At first, she just dealt with it, but after they got acquainted, the two of them became what they are now. , A person who is not happy can leave at any time.

Wen Zhimian thought a lot after staying away from cronies. Her brother's experience made her completely lose the idea of ​​becoming an official. She did business, but her status did not allow her to stay at home every day. Xizheng looking for her is like giving a perfect reason to go out.

As for whether she really went to see Shi Xizheng when she went out, or if she went to do something else, it depends on her mood. Anyway, her parents didn't stop her, especially her father, who asked her to spend more time with Shi Xizheng. Playing with peers.

Thanks to her father's eloquence, she and Shi Xizheng are several years behind each other. The same age is a bit reluctant. According to her emperor's cousin, they are at the same stage, but it's hard to make her father happy, and they can't compete. She doesn't waste those words.

As for why Shi Xizheng insisted on asking her to drink, it was entirely because Wen Zhimian was too perfunctory when drinking, making her feel that the two were of the same kind, and it turned out to be true. There are right and wrong, but they are all inevitable, and they are connected with each other!

"Sister Wen, I heard that the boss is going to have an operation on us again, have you heard?" Shi Xi was taking a sip of tea slowly before opening his mouth without any haste, completely ignoring Wen Zhimian's face impatience.

"Up? Head" is a meaning that only the two of them know. It refers to His Majesty and the middle palace who is currently in charge. There are many people who talk outside, and it will be bad if they are overheard. Appropriate changes have been made to the vocabulary of sense.

"There is still a bottom line at the top. What kind of knife can you use? Your title can't escape, and mine won't be lost. Why worry about those?" Wen Zhimian also picked up a toothpick and forked a piece of watermelon to eat.

Shi Xizheng sighed and said: "You don't know how miserable we are in studying now. Only those who pass their studies are given diplomas, and those who fail are only given diplomas. I heard that if people like me don't get a diploma, they may I will face punishment, and I was so worried that I didn't sleep well last night."

Wen Zhimian didn't try to comfort him, but said proudly: "As far as I know, less than 5.00% of the graduates get a diploma every year, and 90.00% of the five chances you can't pass, and you deserve the punishment. You invited me to dinner and drink Time, why not ask your mother to hire a reliable teacher to make up for you, or you will be punished when the time comes, so don’t cry to me.”

The embarrassing expression made Shi Xizheng very annoying. She didn't know what kind of madness she had, but she actually found such a person as a friend. It was really careless in making friends!

"What's that look on your face? What I'm saying are all real suggestions, whether you want to listen or not." Just as Shi Xi was thinking, everything was expressed on his face, and Wen Zhimian instantly became unhappy. Who was it? Do you want to drink with her and make friends?

Seeing that she was going to get angry, Shi Xi quickly said: "Listen, how can you not listen to what you say, I will tell my mother when I get back, no matter whether the news is true or not, keep the diploma first." ?
