Chronicle of Emperor Jing

The inside of their box was still quiet, and the audience next to them, upstairs and downstairs, had already become excited.Some held their breaths to pray for blessings, some yelled to cheer, and some people lay on the outside of the window sill, more nervous than the two fighting cocks in the competition, lest the one they pressed would lose.

Wei Yan was interrupted all the time. His son wanted one thing and another, and the emperor would come to distract him from time to time. Now, the two of them have calmed down, and he can finally concentrate on watching the next game.

At this time, after numerous tentative attacks and several hand-to-hand combats, the fighting rooster of brand A seized an opportunity and threw itself on the back of the fighting cock of brand B, taking advantage of the victory and chasing after it, pecking the opponent's feathers and flying all over the field.

"Admit defeat, we admit defeat." The owner of the B-brand cockfight, seeing that the winner had been decided, immediately rang a small gong in his hand to show that he had surrendered.

He did this to avoid going on with the fight, which would have completely ruined his fighting cock.

After all, good fighting cocks cannot be trained casually, each one is worth a lot of money, and if one is scrapped at a time, no matter how big a family is, a person with a big business can't waste it like this.

But even if he had conceded defeat early, his fighting cock would have to go through a period of hard training if he wanted to regain his strength and go to the battlefield after this defeat.

The steward who was in charge of the game, when he heard that he had conceded defeat, immediately gestured to the guys, and a guy came in, separated the two fighting cocks, and locked them into the cages on both sides.

"In this competition, the A-brand cockfight is victorious. Ladies and gentlemen who have won the lottery, please go to the flower hall to exchange the lottery. The next game will start at a quarter to two today." Immediately, the steward announced the result of the game.

It's afternoon at two o'clock, and it's not yet noon, and it's rare for Jing Li to come out once, so he won't spend all his time in Washer.

"Wei Yan, where do you want to go for lunch?"

There is no need for Jing Li to worry about the matter of winning the lottery. Someone will take care of it. He sat there and discussed the next itinerary with Wei Yan.

"It is said that Tianshuilou has obtained new brew these days, do you want to try it, young master?" Wei Yan replied.

Tianshuilou is a restaurant named after its proximity to Tianshui Lake. As for whether the water in this lake is really sweet, there are different opinions.

Anyway, Tianshuilou has always claimed that the water they use for brewing comes from the spring water in the center of Tianshui Lake.It's hard to say whether this is true or not, because other restaurants have also imitated Tianshuilou to brew wine with water from the lake, but the brewed wine always tastes a little worse than theirs. I am afraid that Tianshuilou has other secret recipes for wine making.

These well-known restaurants and restaurants in Beijing all have their own backgrounds. It is said that the backer of Tianshuilou is a certain princess.Most of the princes in Beijing are idle princes with no real power, and the eldest princess has no real power, but it is definitely no problem for royal nobles to cover a restaurant.So unless the backer of Tianshuilou suddenly collapsed and fell into the hands of others, it would be difficult for others to know the real secret here.

Wei Yan heard all these things from Meng Fei, and Wei Yan knew that Tianshuilou had new brews in the past few days because he had a friend who was good at wine like Meng Fei.

Jing Li has also heard of the name of Tianshuilou, because there are some imperial wines in the palace, which are supervised by the House of Internal Affairs and brewed by Tianshuilou.

"Okay, since there is new wine, let's try it." Jing Li nodded in agreement.

He brought Wei Yan out today to play everywhere, and where to play is not very important, since Wei Yan wants to go, he can go with him.

"Father, the child is young, so I'm afraid he can't drink alcohol." He had no objection, but Wei Minwen did.

His father is an idiot!

Haohao actually proposed to drink. He thought the emperor didn't take advantage of him just now, so he wants to let the emperor take more of it later?When they arrived at the restaurant, the emperor drank, and took advantage of the drunkenness. He not only moved his hands and feet, but also hugged and hugged him. When the time comes, the father, an idiot, will hide in the bed and cry.

Wei Minwen felt that he had to protect his father, so he risked angering the emperor, so he spoke hastily.

The emperor's angry eyes staring at Wei Minwen were almost materialized, enough to warm up the temperature in the room, but Wei Yan, who was in the middle of them, still felt nothing.

"This..." Hearing what he said, Wei Yan quickly hesitated.

When he made this suggestion just now, he did not consider that his son could not drink.

"Sir...how about?" He looked at the emperor and wanted to change places.

Jing Li immediately looked away and looked at him.

If it was Wei Yan who wanted to change places, rather than Wei Minwen's request, Jing Li would definitely agree.

As long as Wei Yan is happy about this matter, where to eat is really not a problem.

But, now, since this is the meaning of Wei Minwen, a brat, he definitely can't follow him.

"Tian Shui Lou doesn't only have wine, the beef and mutton cakes there are also said to be very good." Jing Li immediately reminded Wei Yan kindly.

"That's true, let's go there." Wei Yan thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.

The emperor and father have said so, can Wei Minwen still object?

Certainly not.

However, he is not a child who can be easily defeated. On the way to Tianshuilou, he tried his best, and he took a fancy to this for a while, and for a while, looking forward to the time when he arrived at Tianshuilou, it was lunch time , now is the winter festival, there must be a lot of people who come out to play and eat out, maybe Tianshuilou is full.

Of course, looking forward to this, he deliberately ignored a problem.That is, even if the Tianshui Building is really full, there is no need for the emperor to come forward, or even use the name of Yongning Hou to speak out, any guards around the emperor will go in and negotiate, and in their identities, Tianshui Building will I vacated a private room.

Soon, their carriage passed through the bustling street and turned onto Lake Causeway Road.

This road is built along the Tianshui Lake. In spring, there are weeping willows on both sides of the road, and the scenery is quite good.

It was winter at this time, and there was not much scenery to see, but in the lake, there were quite a few painted boats coming and going, even the chill of winter could not dampen the interest of these people.

Tianshui Building is built by the lake. It is a five-storey restaurant. More than half of the private rooms face the lake view. It is the most popular.

As Wei Minwen expected, there are quite a lot of people in Tianshui Building today, whether it is in the lobby downstairs or the private room upstairs, it is full of guests, and even some guests directly open the seats to the lakeside I don't know how their interest could be so high in such a cold day.

But beyond Wei Minwen's expectations, his father, an idiot, actually sent someone to reserve a seat in advance, directly destroying his plan.

He didn't know this at first.

The emperor still entered the private room, opened the window, admired the lake view for a while, and praised with satisfaction: "Wei Yan, you are still thoughtful and know how to send someone over early to find the position. Otherwise, someone has been holding back , when we come over, there will definitely not be such a nice private room."

Of course, the person who was slowing down in the emperor's mouth was Wei Minwen.

He said that on purpose, for fear that Wei Minwen would not know about it.

"Your Excellency is absurd. Minwen has a childish temper. Your lord has a lot, so don't worry about it with him." How should the emperor go out, how to travel, how to guard, when to eat, where to stay, how should the flow of these things be done? After many years of teaching by Commander Shen Da, Wei Yan certainly knows, but sometimes, he is not required to be responsible for this matter.

Today, although the emperor said that he took him out to play, but as the deputy commander of the guard battalion, these guards are actually his subordinates. As the person with the highest official position, he is the one who is in charge today Of course, he had to think about these things early, so that the emperor would not have a good seat when he arrived, which would spoil the emperor's happiness.

"Don't worry, I don't care about children." Jing Li agreed gently.

Don't worry Wei Yan, he promises not to haggle with the children, but he definitely has to haggle with the little fox.

While they were talking, the waiter of Tianshui Building knocked on the door of the private room with a smile on his face.

"Sirs, young master, what do you want to use today?" He asked with a smile as soon as the door opened.

"What dishes do you specialize in here?" Wei Yan asked him.

"Okay, gentlemen, listen carefully, today's signature dish is..." The waiter clattered and reported a lot of dish names.

Those who can be waiters in this kind of restaurants and restaurants must have a good memory, because there is no menu at this time, the waiter reports the dishes, and the guests order, all are memorized by the waiter from memory. Those who don’t have a few brushes really can’t do this. live.

Wei Minwen has been staying in a small place for many years. Even if there is a restaurant in a small place, there are only a few dishes, and the report is finished in a few words. He has never seen such a convenient waiter, so he looked at him with interest.

After such a series of dishes were reported, Wei Yan would definitely not be able to remember them all, so he first ordered a few dishes from the restaurant's specialty, and then asked the emperor and his son, and added a few more dishes.

"I heard that you have new wine here, let's have a jar of new wine, and a bowl of beef crisps." After ordering the dishes, he added wine.

"Okay, young master." The waiter wrote down all the dishes before rushing out to inform the kitchen.

In this private room, there were only three of them, four of the other guards were guarding the door, and a few others were eating in the private rooms on the left and right.

After a while, the waiter delivered a small red clay stove, a jug of wine, wine jugs, wine glasses and other items, as well as various dishes to go with the wine.

The so-called "green ant new fermented wine, red clay small stove" is to describe this situation.

"Father, please drink less alcohol." Wei Minwen looked at his father worriedly while holding his beef shortbread.

In just such a short time, the emperor persuaded him to drink several times, with the intention of getting his father drunk just like that, which made him even more worried.

"It's okay. This is rice wine. It doesn't have enough stamina." On a cold winter day, drinking some wine would warm him up. Wei Yan waved his hand nonchalantly, signaling his son not to worry.

His alcohol capacity is not bad, this little wine is really nothing.

Jing Li glanced at Wei Minwen triumphantly, picked up the jug, poured a glass for Wei Yanman, and continued to persuade him to drink.

"Father, the child wants to eat fish, but he is afraid of fish bones. Please help the child get the bones."

Effective moves are always useful, no, Wei Minwen felt that if his father was too idle, he would be bullied by the emperor, so he began to dispatch his father again.
