After confirming that An Yao did not appear, Xu You came out of the secret room and walked onto the deck. He looked at the seven vertical lines on the ground, but compared to what he saw, heard and thought on this day, it was simply the difference between a kindergarten and a postdoctoral fellow.

Zuo Qi frowned and looked at Deng Tao, obviously suspicious of him, but he didn't say much in front of Xu You, and was about to find a gap in private and talk to him in detail. Besides, if Deng Tao hadn't shown that he was far beyond his usual level, he might not have been able to leave Fei Yao behind.

Everyone has secrets and their own difficulties. Zuo Qi is not a jealous person. As long as Deng Tao has enough reasons, he is going to recommend him to Master Ye as soon as he returns to Jinling.

Xu You squatted down and groped Feiyao for a while. Sure enough, he found another token with the words "General" engraved on the front.

It was the first time Zuo Qi saw it and said in confusion: "What is this?"

Xu You groped with his hands to the edge of the token, his eyes were deep and unpredictable, and said softly: "I want to know the answer to this question, too..."

The night was shrouded, and occasionally a bird of crows passed by, causing a gust of river wind. The big ship of Yuan Mansion sailed steadily on the Caohe River. When Jinling City was far away and was approaching Chou, Feng Tong stretched his waist long, unable to hide his fatigue on his face, and said, "Xu Lang, the evening drum has passed early, and the city gate is closed. We will be parked outside the city overnight. When the bell rings tomorrow, it will not be too late to enter the city."

Since the Han and Wei dynasties, curfews have become the norm. When Cao Cao was a county magistrate, he made five-color sticks, hanging around the county gate. Anyone who violated the ban at night would be killed. When Wei was destroyed, Chu was established, and wars were frequent in the north and south. In the chaotic times, the curfews were even stricter. "It was closed at dusk, and it was opened at the fifth hour. Those who invaded alleys and streets had a pole of seventy, and those who were drunk at night refused to be arrested, and those who beat others would be killed by sticks."

The so-called "date and closed" means that the "day carving" in the bell and drum tower flows out, four hundred drums are ringed, the city gate is closed, walking, banquets, and lights are prohibited, which is what Feng Tong calls "night drum". The fifth update means that by the fifth update of the next day, four hundred bells are ringed, and the city gates are opened, and normal life is restored. This is also called the morning bell. Of course, there are people outside the law, and there are rapid business affairs and deaths and childbirth, so this is not the limit.

Xu You knew a lot about these things, so he didn't think it was strange and said, "As long as you follow the arrangements of the affairs!"

The big ship of Yuan's mansion slowly docked at the dock. When he arrived outside Jinling City, there was unexpected danger. Feng Tong suffered a day of guilt and could not hold back. He went to another cabin to bathe and clean himself. Xu You also had a tense day, but he was still in good spirits, but his body was weak and he was unbearable. He was used to night and eating midnight snacks in his previous life. He didn't dare to expect it when he was in Yixing, but now he had an idea and joked to Zuo Qi: "Military wait, can there be an emperor's meal to satisfy his hunger?"

The emperor's meal that Xu You mentioned is a joke called midnight snack. In fact, the tradition of eating midnight snack has a long history. In "Yan Zi's Spring and Autumn? Miscellaneous Parts" there is a record that King Jing of Qi went to Yan Zi's house to eat and drink late at night, but this is the privilege of the emperor, which is the so-called "ninth emperor's meal" - four meals a day.

As for why the emperor had to eat four meals a day, Ban Gu of the Han Dynasty explained in "Baihu Tong? Li and Music": The reason why the king ate four times a day? There were four things in the Ming Dynasty and the four seasons. That is to say, the emperor occupied all directions, so he had to eat four meals. In the world before Xu You traveled through time, anyone who liked to eat midnight snacks actually lived the life of the ancient emperor.

As for whether Xu You would be taboos when he wanted to eat "imperial meal", in this era, the more unrestrained, and contemptuous, he was regarded as a celebrity style, and no one would feel abnormal because of this.

Zuo Qi was very respectful to Xu You now. Not to mention adding a night meal, it would be fine if you had a few more meals. He immediately ordered his personal soldiers to send orders. As a first-class military waiter, he respected him except Feng Tong on the entire ship, and he was still the only thing he did.

"Slowly, since I have done it, I will do more, give General Deng Bai, and also give it to the soldiers who are watching the night, so that everyone can have a full meal." Deng Tao was injured, and Xu You asked him to go back to the cabin to rest without having to wait for the night.

"this……"

Zuo Qi hesitated for a while, Xu You looked at him and said, "Is the Junhou afraid that Manager Feng will blame him?"

"Mr. Lang, you don't know that Yuan's mansion has never had such rules. If you can eat food in a soldier and have three full meals a day, it is already a kind and kind reward for the boss. How dare you have more extravagant hopes?"

No matter the chaotic times, for ordinary people, it is still a problem of eating full food. Xu You said seriously: "It's okay, if Manager Feng is angry, I will come forward to clear it. Even in front of Mr. Yuan, he will not be punished for rewarding these brave tigers with full food."

Zuo Qi gritted his teeth and said, "Since the husband said that, if the subordinates do not obey orders, they will have no face to face their soldiers. If the visitor hears the husband's words, why don't you go quickly?"

After Feng Tong finished taking a shower and changing clothes, he found that everyone was eating and drinking happily on the way. After asking, he realized that it was Xu You's idea. He was a little furious. However, Jinling was looking at him. He was very important. He did not want to have too many troubles, so he turned around and went back to the cabin to sleep. Even Xu You didn't go to see him.

Of course, Xu You ignored Feng Tong's mood. Not only did he eat happily, he also specially sent someone a serving to the autumnal equinox. In order to deal with the assassination of Siyaojian during the day, he let the autumnal equinox mix among the maids accompanying Yuan and hide in the lowermost cabin, which was the safest. This would relieve the threat. Knowing that she was worried that she would not fall asleep, she also prepared a night dinner for her to take advantage of Yuan's family.

After eating and drinking, Xu You regained his energy and was completely sleepy. He asked Zuo Qi to continue to surrender Feiyao tonight, and then he talked about family matters. Although Zuo Qi was a martial artist, he was also a literate person, smart and knowledgeable person, so he could chat with Xu You. This was until the fifth hour that the bell of Jinling City rang, and then the noisy voices gradually came from scratch. Hundreds of ships anchored at the dock also walked down many pedestrians and began to carry out loading and unloading transactions and various transactions with the city.

Xu You took the Autumnal Equinox off the boat, boarded the ox cart that had been arranged, and slowly and steadily headed to Jinling City not far away. The Autumnal Equinox was the first time I came here. My clear eyes were rolling around, and my mouth was constantly commenting on the difference between this place and Yixing: "...The city wall is a little shorter... but the city gate is quite big. Haha, Xiaolang, look, there are water gates there, one, two, and three, and there are three water gates open. It's really strange..."
