Because it was inevitable to drink at night, after Sun Shaozong changed his clothes, he called Zhang Cheng suit to get on the carriage.
This time and again, when it was near Chongwenmen, the sky was already a little dark.
"Master Sun."
As soon as Sun Shaozong got out of the car, a servant nodded and leaned forward, rubbing his hands and saying, "Second Master Bao was afraid that all the good seats would be taken away, so we asked the servant to come over and book a private room first."
It seems that this Jia Baoyu has really improved. If he had changed before, he would never have been so thorough in his work.
Sun Shaozong only nodded and followed the servant into the restaurant called 'Luming Xuan'.
At this time, it was time for dinner, and the scattered seats were basically full, and there were many scholars wearing square scarves.
However, the scattered guests on the first floor could not afford to eat any kind of venison, so the bright signs on the sign were all donkey meat.
Does this count as selling donkey meat with the head of a deer, or is it referring to the donkey as a deer
Thinking about whether there are some or not, Sun Shaozong followed the servant up the steps to the private room on the second floor facing the street.
As soon as you enter this private room, you will first see a huge screen with a few sika deer stepping on the wormwood everywhere, either raising their heads and neighing, or bowing their heads to eat wormwood, obviously depicting the scene in the Book of Songs.
After going around the screen, a huge round table was placed in the center. The cups, plates and wine cups were all set up, but Baoyu and the others were not in sight. Obviously, a few of them ate more than Sun Shaozong.
Seeing that there were still several folding fans on the table, Sun Shaozong curiously picked up one, opened it and looked at it carefully, but saw that there were many names of dishes written in small letters on the front, and on the back was a picture of "Night Banquet in Taoli Garden". It looked quite appropriate.
Seeing Sun Shaozong looking at the recipe, the servant asked with a smile on his face, "Master Sun, do you want to order food?"
Sun Shaozong closed the fan and threw it back on the table, and explained, "Ask which of the signature dishes of this restaurant require cooking time, choose five or six dishes to prepare first, and wait for the rest to come. It's not too late to order."
The boy agreed and went downstairs in a hurry.
Because these days, all the guests in the private room bring their own servants, so as long as they don't take the initiative to say hello, the shop assistant won't rush in to disturb them.
So Sun Shaozong was bored alone, so he simply pushed open the window and looked at the night scene near Chongwenmen.
Although there are not many big families nearby, there are many shops, and the lanterns of that family are densely packed, and they come up with many tricks to attract customers. It is quite interesting to look down from a height.
clang~clang~clang…
While looking aimlessly, I heard the sound of a gong coming from the city gate, and then I saw a team holding a wooden sign of avoidance, gushing out from the doorway, digging out the leading sedan chair and carriage. , the most eye-catching is a few huge cages.
To escort ordinary criminals, it definitely doesn't take such a big battle. This is probably where the corrupt officials were captured by the imperial censor who was ordered to go on a tour.
Just at this moment, there was another burst of laughter outside the door, but it was Jia Baoyu, Feng Ziying and others who arrived.
Sun Shaozong hurriedly turned around to greet him. As soon as he walked around the screen, he saw several people rushing in. They cupped their hands together and said, "Congratulations to the second brother!"
Sun Shaozong laughed. He was about to say something when he heard another loud noise outside the window. The gong sound was mixed with the boiling voice of people, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Feng Ziying frowned and said, "In the middle of the night, where did the bird officials come from so disturbing the people?"
He was just asking casually, but who knew that there was actually someone inside who knew what was going on.
He heard Jia Baoyu say: "I just glanced at it from a distance. It seems that Lord Zhao, the imperial censor of Youdu, who went to Hebei for inspection, has returned. It seems that he has arrested a lot of corrupt officials."
"Yo~!"
Feng Ziying widened her eyes as if making a mistake, and teased, "When did Brother Bao become so concerned about important matters in the imperial court? You can see things that even the second brother doesn't know about!"
Unexpectedly, when he asked this question, Jia Baoyu was a little hesitant, and after a while, he swept Sun Shaozong's face, and hesitantly said: "This time Zhao Yushi is out on business, and the second brother of the Wei family happened to be assigned to escort me that day. I went for a ride, so I recognized Master Zhao's frame."
This second brother of the Wei family was naturally Wei Ruolan.
Besides Liu Xianglian, who didn't know that Sun Shaozong had conflicted with him
So after Baoyu finished speaking, he suddenly froze.
"What are your expressions?"
Sun Shaozong laughed and said, "Could it be that in your eyes, I'm a bit intolerant? As long as you don't bring that kid named Wei to my eyes, I don't care how your friendship is in private?"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to give in, and said, "Come on, everyone, sit down and talk."
If possible, Sun Shaozong naturally doesn't want his friends, what's the relationship with the Wei family - but the Wei family is also a nobleman for generations, and has been in friendship with the Rongguo Mansion for several lifetimes, how can it be easily separated
Besides, if you don't look at the monk's face and look at the Buddha's face, then Wei Ruolan is now the brother-in-law of King Beijing, and as one of the four princes and eight princes, Rongguo Mansion is even less likely to turn her back on her.
However, seeing that Sun Shaozong didn't care, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, so they sat around the table talking and laughing for more than half of the circle, only Xue Pan was sitting alone, and he didn't say a word for a while.
This time Sun Shaozong was a little puzzled. Usually this guy is the most noisy, but now he is uncharacteristically quiet
"Second brother, leave him alone."
Feng Ziying said gloatingly: "Xue's head is a good thing, and the beautiful ones can't speak human words."
No wonder he was so depressed, it turned out that the wedding date with the Wang family's daughter was approaching.
"Go away, you can't speak human words!"
Xue Pan glared at him, and then said to Sun Shaozong weakly: "Second brother, that day is set for the ninth day of the third lunar month, if you have time then come and take a look, if you have no time, forget it, anyway, I will definitely not pick it up. Son."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but laugh.
Sun Shaozong picked up the hot wine that the servants had just brought, filled a glass for Xue Pan, and said, "According to your usual nonsense, I should have said a few words 'retribution is not good', but look at you boy Virtue, brother, I'm too lazy to say anything - come on, we won't go home if we don't get drunk!"
"Yes! If you don't get drunk, you won't go home!"
Xue Pan drank this cup with him, stared at the bull's eyes and looked around, shouting, "Whoever dares to cheat and play tricks today, my old Xuetou will not agree!"
Except for Sun Shaozong, all the people here are wealthy and idle people, and they have no serious errands to do, so who cares about not getting drunk and not returning
Even Jia Baoyu slapped the table and yelled, and ordered the servants to quickly change the big bowl.
Thanks to the book friends for the reward of 'Fakes are fakes'.
