Chapter 279: Chance
At this time, Lin Chen was leisurely accompanying two pretty lolita girls from Dongwu to visit the Lantern Festival.
He looked at Xiao Qiao and Xiao Qiao, who were dressed as men, and couldn't help laughing and shaking his head. He didn't know what storybook these two people learned from.
The difference in body shape between men and women, unless someone is proficient in the art of disguise, otherwise a discerning person can see something wrong at a glance.
Fortunately, the Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism had not yet appeared in the Li Tang during this period.
Otherwise, it would be a taboo for women to even show their faces in public.
Speaking of which.
For Lin Chen, it was also the first time to personally experience the bustle and prosperity of the ancient Lantern Festival.
Lin Chen stopped and looked at Xiao Qiao and Xiao Qiao, who were watching the excitement in front of the lantern riddles.
From time to time, there were people who looked like scholars who solved the lantern riddles, which attracted cheers from the crowd.
Lin Chen stepped forward and took a look at these lantern riddles.
Wow.
He didn't know any of them.
There were all kinds of riddles and answers that quoted classics, and Lin Chen, a future person who traveled through time, couldn't keep up with the brain circuit at all.
It's like asking Li Bai a brain teaser, the latter must be confused.
Originally, Lin Chen planned to accompany the two of them for a stroll, and then send Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao back to Qiao Xuan's house.
But when passing by a wine shop, he heard the servant shouting loudly: "Come and see, our shop has wine shipped from outside the domain!"
The so-called outside the domain, for the people of Li Tang, is the land of barbarians far away from the horizon.
Often, foreign merchants travel long distances to the capital to sell goods.
These merchants are collectively called Hu merchants.
Although these Hu merchants look strange, the goods they transport are novel and valuable.
Hearing the words of this busybody, many drinkers became interested and planned to go in and see what the so-called foreign wine looks like.
Lin Chen was not very interested.
However, Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao's faces were almost full of curiosity.
OK.
Lin Chen had to follow the two people's thoughts and led them into the wine shop.
This wine shop calls itself a small shop, but in fact the interior decoration is gorgeous.
Especially, just to enter the door, you need five taels of silver as an entrance fee.
This little money is naturally nothing for Lin Chen.
On the other hand, the two sisters, one big and one small, came in and looked around like curious babies.
Lin Chen looked at the crowded wine shop and couldn't help but feel a little funny.
I didn't expect that in ancient times, merchants understood the importance of gimmicks.
It is obvious that these wine customers were attracted by the so-called exotic wine.
Lin Chen took Xiao Qiao and Xiao Qiao to find a seat on the second floor.
The location here is very good, just overlooking the whole view of the wine shop.
I have to say that this wine shop has made efforts to attract wine customers.
I saw that there was still the sound of zither and harp on the stage inside the hall, and the figure of the dancer was dancing under the cover of the hazy curtain.
As the saying goes, half-covered, it is the most attractive.
Da Qiao blushed slightly, and pulled her sister's sleeve and said, "Sister, this is not the place we should come to."
Xiao Qiao coughed lightly and pretended to be calm and said, "Sister, men like this kind of place, what's wrong with you and me coming to learn and visit?"
Then Xiao Qiao was hit on the head by her sister, who said she was talking nonsense.
Soon, a waiter from the wine shop brought the so-called exotic wine.
Lin Chen looked at the dark purple liquid in the wooden wine pot, which exuded an inexplicable fragrance.
Tsk.
Lin Chen looked at the pot of wine, and his mouth twitched slightly.
Isn't it wine?
Lin Chen rubbed his eyebrows. He remembered that Zhang Qian had brought back grape seeds as early as the Han Dynasty.
Wine should not be a rare item.
Oh, this is something in the original time and space.
Lin Chen suddenly thought of the world where Li Tang was, and the historical context was extremely chaotic.
Lin Chen poured wine for the two curious babies and drank a sip himself.
It tastes bitter at first, but then turns sweet.
Lin Chen frowned slightly and shook his head undetectably.
This stuff is not as good as the refined wine of later generations.
This light wine taste is no different from drinking grape drinks in Lin Chen's eyes.
He poured Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao for the first time, sipping it in small sips, with a look of surprise on his face.
"Three brothers, can we share a seat?"
At this time, a question came from behind Lin Chen.
He turned his head subconsciously, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Just look at the man who was talking to Lin Chen, his face is handsome, and his temperament is like a wanderer.
Looking at the sword on his waist and the wine gourd, Lin Chen raised his eyebrows slightly.
More importantly, this person has martial arts skills and is at a first-class level.
"Could it be possible?"
While Lin Chen had a hint of speculation in his heart, he nodded: "Please!"
As he said that, the wanderer was overjoyed and dragged a table to share.
It seems that he has set his eyes on the Feng Shui treasure land chosen by Lin Chen, so he came to share the table with a thick face.
However, the other party's attitude is not annoying.
Linghu Chong originally thought that the guests were three scholars and easy to deal with.
However, after a closer look, it seems that there are two girls among the three.
This made Linghu Chong slap his forehead and think that he was in trouble.
When he was about to apologize to the man, he saw that the other party's face was covered by a terrifying ghost mask.
Huh? !
Linghu Chong was stunned.
So.
In this way, the few people with different thoughts fell silent, and then were interrupted by a careless and slick voice.
"Brother Linghu, this exotic wine is really a bit tricky!"
Lin Chen looked back, his eyes suddenly became playful.
This person made the Six Gates easy to find.
It was none other than Tian Boguang, the lone traveler in thousands of miles!
When Tian Boguang met Lin Chen's eyes, he felt a chill in his body, as if something terrible was staring at him.
But this feeling was fleeting, making him think it was an illusion.
"Brother Tian, I think we should change places."
With that, Linghu Chong stood up and was about to take Tian Boguang away.
Tian Boguang said disapprovingly: "You have already chosen a place, so why not drink here?"
Hearing this, Linghu Chong didn't know what to say.
He was naturally doing it for Tian Boguang's good!
Do you know who this person is?
If your identity is exposed, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave tonight!
Linghu Chong secretly complained in his heart.
Yes.
Just like the original book, Linghu Chong and Tian Boguang, two like-minded drunkards, still met.
Tian Boguang hid in the Jia Mansion for a while, and after recovering from his injuries, he planned to stay in the capital for a while.
It was the public trial, and Tian Boguang also wanted to join in the fun.
Of course, Tian Boguang knew that he had a bad reputation and dared not show it.
Then he met Linghu Chong.
During this period of time, Tian Boguang and Linghu Chong had been wandering around the capital, having a great time.
When Tian Boguang heard Linghu Chong pulling him away, he looked at the people sharing the table in surprise.
With his eyesight, he could see that Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao were disguised as women.
Tian Boguang thought that Linghu Chong was afraid that he would get into trouble, so he wanted to change places, and quickly assured: "I will never mess around!"
Linghu Chong sighed.
Well, that's all.
Lin Chen looked at Tian Boguang and Linghu Chong with interest.
I didn't expect that they would meet here by chance.
Should we say that Tian Boguang was unlucky, or Lin Chen was lucky?
