Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 59
Leaving Chen Shuyi and Xiao Mohe to reminisce about the past, Yang Ming took Xu Jing and left the wine shop.

They agreed to meet here in an hour.

So Yang Ming found another orchid restaurant, he was really interested in this kind of exotic place.

The standard of this restaurant is obviously higher, the boss is a fool at first glance,

The proprietress was even more beautiful, her little leather skirt was crumpled tightly and uneven, and she was holding a jug like a crock pot, refilling wine for the guests.

After being seated, the proprietress came over in a charming manner, and said in fluent Chinese:
"Xiao Langjun also drinks?"

Yang Ming smiled and said, "You can drink less."

"Okay, seeing how young you are, you won't be charged for drinks,"

As she said that, the proprietress poured a glass of wine for each of Yang Ming and them, and also called a young orchid girl to bring some food for Yang Ming and the others.

"Thank you, lady boss," Yang Ming said politely.

The proprietress cast a charming look at Yang Ming, then swayed her slender waist and went elsewhere.

Yang Ming looked down at the wine glass on the table, look at this glass, it's big and round.

Most of the drinks sold here are made from grapes, that is, wine.

Da Sui has not yet mastered the wine-making process, so the wine you drink in Daxing is all from the Western Regions.

As for the food, there are some dried fruits, which taste very good.

After taking a sip of the fine wine, Yang Ming nodded, it was okay, not too bitter.

Looking around the shop, Yang Ming found that most of the customers here were Han Chinese, and most of them were young people.
In the Sui Dynasty, it was very easy to see whether a person was born well or not.

First of all, look at the clothes. Silk, silk, and brocade are made of silk, and the clothes are made of this material, and they are all from good backgrounds.

The clothes of the common people are made of linen, which is also of high grade: hemp cloth, ban cloth, silk cloth, falling linen cloth, and Hunu cloth.

Yang Ming doesn't understand these things, but he can distinguish silk from hemp.

The young people in the wine shop are basically wearing silk fabrics, so it can be seen that they are all young masters from big families.

The bearded woman has an open manner. When she walks through the aisle and is slapped on the butt, not only will she not get angry, she will even stop to flirt with you.

This kind of phenomenon does not exist among Han women. According to the laws of the Sui Dynasty, this is all molesting women, and if it is serious, it will be sentenced.

So Yang Ming felt that the reason why these young people like to come here is more because they can do things that they cannot do elsewhere.

In barbarian restaurants, there is no such thing as unrestrained, which is called unrestrained.

A crisp sound of "pop",
At a wine table not far from Yang Ming, a young man laughed and patted the buttocks of a passing Orchid girl. Immediately afterwards, the Orchid girl smiled coquettishly, turned around, and sat directly on the young man's lap , the jug was raised, and the wine was poured into the open mouth of the young man below.

"Brother Xuanling is a real hero!" Someone from the next table applauded.

Yang Ming was taken aback for a moment, and his gaze fell on the young man who was hugging the Orchid girl involuntarily.

The appearance is plain, with a long face and a big nose, a broad and shiny forehead, and a small mustache.

Could this kid be Fang Xuanling?

It seems that this person should be around 20 years old, roughly the same age as Fang Xuanling recorded in historical books.

No, isn't this kid a local official?How could it appear in Daxing?

Fang Xuanling drank the jug of wine with her neck up, smiled and shook her shoulders, the Orchid girl stood up, turned around beautifully and came to the counter with the jug in her hand,

have to!Another pot of wine money.

"Brother, my lord would like to invite you to tell me something. I wonder if I can honor you?"

Under Yang Ming's instigation, Xu Jing came to invite Fang Xuanling. The latter was stunned at first, then looked at the wine table in front of Yang Ming, and said with a smile:

"No wine can please me,"

Yang Ming smiled, then waved to a young orchid girl, motioning for more wine.

It was not until the two jugs of wine were placed on the table that Fang Xuanling smiled and nodded, and moved over with the futon under his buttocks.

"What's your surname, Mr. Xiaolang?" Fang Xuanling asked with a mouthful of alcohol.

Yang Ming smiled and said, "My surname is Yang."

Fang Xuanling was startled: "The clan?"

Yang Ming nodded.

Fang Xuanling chuckled: "When you come to this kind of place at such a young age, be careful that the elders in your family will punish you if they find out."

Yang Ming asked back: "Aren't you afraid of punishment at home?"

"Hey, my family is in the east of the city, and this is in the west of the city. My family won't know," Fang Xuanling said.

Yang Ming couldn't help but be surprised: "Someone called your name just now, aren't you afraid that he will pass it on to you?"

Fang Xuanling shook his head: "Everyone is like a chicken, if he dares to expose me, isn't he afraid that I will expose him?"

"That makes sense," Yang Ming asked, "Brother, what's your surname?"

Fang Xuanling said bluntly: "Fang's name is Qiao, and his name is Xuanling, he is from Qizhou (Shandong)."

That's right, this kid is really Fang Xuanling.
It has to be said that Yang Ming was still very surprised to meet this famous figure in history books here, so he couldn't help but look at him carefully.

Tsk tsk a very ordinary person.

Yang Ming doesn't intend to solicit because of the other party's future achievements,
In fact, Fang Xuanling's achievements largely depend on Li Shimin.

Times make heroes. If Fang Xuanling followed Dou Jiande instead of Li Shimin, then he would not have achieved much.

It can be seen that following the right person is more than half the success of life.

So he invited the other party to Xiaoxu, purely out of curiosity, and he didn't have any other ideas.

"Brother Xuanling's name is very familiar." As he said, Yang Ming pretended to think hard for a while, then patted his forehead and said, "But the Jinshi recommended by Qizhou in the 18th year of Kaihuang?"

"You know this as well?"

Fang Xuanling looked at the other party suspiciously, thinking that this kid's background is not simple,

Because he is from Shandong, which is the hometown of the Northern Qi Dynasty, no one in Guanzhong would take it seriously, especially the clan.

You must know that 80.00% of the officials of the Sui Dynasty came from Guanzhong nobles, and 50.00% were local officials.

He is a Jinshi from Qizhou, his official career is not so bright, and he is a prefect of a county who is smoking from his ancestral grave.

What's more, Fang Xuanling's father, Fang Yanqian, was still working in the Ministry of Officials at the beginning of the emperor, but he accidentally offended Guangping Wang Yangxiong, and was directly demoted to a county magistrate.

His father is a county magistrate, so what if he is a Jinshi?
"Of course I know," Yang Ming said with a smile, "I also know that brother Xuanling was a county captain in Xi (xi) City (now Fenyang, Shanxi). How could he appear in Daxing now?"

Fang Xuanling suddenly sobered up, frowned and looked at Yang Ming,

How does this kid know my details so well?What is his background?
Yang Ming saw that the other party was vigilant, smiled and waved his hands and said:
"Brother Xuan Ling, you don't need to think too much. My grandfather also works in the Ministry of Officials. He used to be a colleague of your father, so I heard my grandfather mention you."

"Who is your grandfather?" Fang Xuanling asked curiously.

Yang Ming shook his head: "It's not convenient to say."

Ha. You know my details, but I don't know yours. This wine can't be drunk,
"Farewell!"

Fang Xuanling cupped his hands at Yang Ming, got up and left.

The other party didn't keep him until he left the restaurant, Fang Xuanling stood still and thought for a while, then shook his head, and walked into the night market crowd.
