Beibi Mountain, also known as Pingfeng Mountain, Taiping Mountain, Jiashan Mountain. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the height of the North Pi Mountain is not too high, the altitude is only about 300 meters, but it is relatively long, hundreds of miles from east to west Hengdan, the momentum is majestic, the water is deep and the soil is thick, the forest is dense, it is located in the north of Luoyang City, the south bank of the Yellow River, it is the remaining vein of the Qinling Mountains, the branch vein of the Kuoshan Mountain.

There are mountains and rivers in the north of the mountain, and the water of Yi and Luo runs through Luoyang City from west to east, so this area has always been the main place of activity for the descendants of Yan and Huang, and Yan and Huang have settled here since ancient times, and they have multiplied and developed.

The Cui family built a manor at the foot of the Beibi Mountain.

The scholar families of the Han Dynasty liked to build manors, and often regarded a manor as an important stronghold for family inheritance. The Cui family is no exception. The construction of the former dynasty Cui Lieguan Bai Situ has begun, and now Cui Yi and Cui Hou are still adding and repairing, and the scale is quite large.

Fei Qian estimated that the entire plot of land was the size of at least twenty basketball courts, and there were craftsmen in and out of the back of the manor. In ancient times, this land was really as big as you wanted, and in modern times, at least tens of billions of dollars are estimated to be unable to make such a large piece of land.

Cui Hou also had a good face, and introduced the layout of his entire manor to Fei Qian.

It is said to be a manor, but it is actually more like a fortress.

Cuijiazhuang, well, is also Cuijiazhuang north of a mountain cliff to build, in the cliff wall carved out a lot of caves, are closed with wooden fences, there are some guards guarded, should be used as storage of some materials. At the foot of the mountain, a thick walled wall was built, a large piece of land was encircled, and the mountain stream was led through the village, and a deep ravine was dug outside the wall, on the one hand, it was only used as a defense against the enemy, and on the other hand, it also had the function of storing water.

The whole village is divided into more than ten parts of the main residential area, ordinary residential area, ancestral hall area, workshop area, vegetable garden, garden, stack house area, market and so on, each with its own duties, complete planning and complete functions.

After the drawbridge is the narrow walled gate, the entrance of the entire manor can be comparable to the city gate, thick and solid, and the entrance is supported by the main wall on both sides. There is also a shooting tower modeled after the lookout of the city wall, and several guards with bows and arrows are patrolling the top of the platform.

In order to play a role in resisting foreign enemies, the streets in the village are deliberately built with twists and turns, and there are many forks, not led by Cui Hou, and unfamiliar outsiders will definitely not be able to find where the courtyard of the main house is for a while.

Fei Qian was amazed and did not hesitate to give a lot of appreciation.

Cui Hou shook his hand very modestly, and at the same time introduced with more interest how the construction was at the beginning, how much manpower was used, and how ......

It is indeed very well built, and the walls on both sides of the street are half stone, half yellow mud, which takes into account the role of convenience and solidity. In addition to the mountain stream water in the river, there are also many large water tanks to prevent fires, after all, the houses in the Han Dynasty still have more wooden structures such as wooden beams and wooden doors.

The main area of the Cui family's living and living is almost a mixture of garden and military fortress buildings, the exterior walls are all made of blue bricks, which is obviously a grade from the houses inhabited by civilians on both sides of the street, brick carvings, stone carvings, and wood carvings are full of them, with exquisite craftsmanship and different styles. There are also three-storey corner towers at the four corners of the courtyard with sloping eaves.

It is not easy to build such a Zhuangzi, which shows the strong financial resources of the Cui family.

The farming structure of the Han Dynasty was basically like the Cui family's manor. In normal times, the manor was used as a trade bazaar and a place for exchanging goods, and most of the people living in the manor were some propertied classes, while farmers or mercenaries usually built straw huts outside the manor to live, and if there was an enemy invasion, they all gathered in the manor and defended according to the wall.

The model of a small Cuijiazhuang is actually the epitome of the entire Han Dynasty and even a longer period of Chinese feudal farming. Except for a few dynasties, such as the Han, Tang, and Ming dynasties, which were still able to send troops to defend the country, most of the time they were constantly on the defensive, allowing the nomads to wreak havoc outside the walls like locusts.

After entering Cui's house, Cui Hou did not take Fei to the side hall, but took Fei to the small hall of his own small courtyard, and sat down as guests.

The corners of Fei Qian's mouth turned up slightly, and he exchanged the collection of books for the protection of the master's family, and the effect was reflected.

The Han Dynasty was an era of reciprocity in etiquette.

What kind of place corresponds to what kind of character and specifications. In the main hall of the Cui family, Fei Qian's qualifications are not enough, even if he takes Fei Qian, Fei Qian does not dare to be so rude.

Originally, Fei Qian was worried that Cui Hou would take him to the side hall, and going to the side hall also meant that it was a serious family banquet, Cui Yi was going to attend, and Fei Qian had to face Cui Yi directly.

Now Cui Hou has brought Fei Qian to his small courtyard and small hall to entertain, which means that Cui Hou is the host today, and Cui Yi, the elder of the Cui family, will not come forward, and the specifications of the banquet have dropped to a more casual reciprocal banquet between friends, rather than a formal banquet that pays attention to etiquette.

Originally, the Cui family planned for Cui Yi to come forward, firstly, Cui Yi had the identity of an elder, and secondly, he was also an official of the former dynasty.

The Cui family used to think that Fei Qian was just a side branch of the Fei family, and he didn't get much attention from the main family, so a powerless side branch family like this couldn't make much waves.

But I didn't expect Fei Min's letter to mention it in addition to greetings, thanking the Cui family for their invitation and hospitality to Fei Qian, and saying that he would invite the Cui family to be a guest if he had the opportunity.

Although it did not clearly state what it meant, such a letter from Fei Min has revealed that Fei Qian is not an insignificant little person who is not as concerned by the main family as the Cui family expected before, and if he persecutes Fei Qian again, it will be tantamount to not giving Fei Min face, so it has changed from a matter of one person to a matter between the Cui family and the Fei family.

The position of the counselor is not higher than that of the third duke, but Fei Min is the current official, and the biggest official of the Cui family, Situ Cui Lie, is only an official of the previous dynasty, and he is also deceased, so there is not much advantage in comparison.

After weighing the pros and cons, Cui Yi did not come forward directly, but asked Cui Hou to entertain him, which was just an invitation between pure friends.

In this kind of small courtyard and small hall, there is no need to be as serious as a banquet, Cui Hou took off his crown and put it aside directly after sitting down, and signaled to Fei Qian.

Interesting, or not, is it a more casual bareheaded feast? Fei Qian smiled, and also took off the crown of his head, thinking in his heart, in fact, the ancients were also quite fun, just such a bareheaded action, in fact, it implies that I am eating and drinking at will today, not talking about other meanings.

Sure enough, with dried fruit cakes, wine and juice, and all kinds of beef and mutton served, Cui Hou never talked about business, but only talked about those snowy nights and street anecdotes.

The Cui family is not simple, and the profits of the glass are huge, but the Cui family is not influenced by interests to do some desperate things, but to put it down when it is time to put it down like now, and it does not show any awkwardness or other negative emotions, and it looks like a very sincere and enthusiastic friend without knowing it.

The banquet was eaten from afternoon to dusk, and the wine and food were full.

Although the wine of the Han Dynasty is the same as the mash of later generations, slightly sweet and sour, and the degree is low, it will be intoxicating if you drink too much. Fortunately, I don't know if Fei Qian's body has a strong hangover function, or if he is good at drinking kung fu honed in the office from the later generations, don't look at the red face, big tongue, and shaky appearance, in fact, most of it is pretended by Fei Qian.

At the end of the banquet, Cui Hou summoned the maid and prepared to let Fei sneak to the guest room to rest.

In the Han Dynasty, the more decent banquets were eaten from mid-day to sunset, and then they generally rested directly at the host's house in the evening, so as to draw a successful end to the whole banquet.

Eat well and sleep well, only then can you be considered to be in place. Basically, the guests did not rush back overnight, and going back overnight is the same thing as leaving the table halfway, which will make the host very faceless.

Fei Qian was carried to the guest room by the maid step by step, and after walking a few steps, he shook back, took out a towel from his arms, stuffed it into Cui Hou's hand, and said with a big tongue: "Brother treats little brother...... No, no, no, not thin, little brother, younger brother will ...... will leave Luoyang, this party is a little, a little brother, and an accidental ...... Special gift to my brother to be a ...... of parting, parting, and ""

Before he was completely finished, Fei Qian spread it on the ground and fell asleep.

Cui Hou endured the drunkenness, reluctantly opened his eyes, opened the towel and took a look, and suddenly the wine went to eight or nine points, surprised, and called Fei Qian several times, seeing that Fei Qian looked drunk and sleepy and really couldn't wake up, he had to repeatedly emphasize that he should take good care of Fei Qian, and then took the towel and silk, and didn't even have time to change his clothes, and went directly to see Cui Yi.

Cui Yi was used to sitting quietly for a while at dusk, and was disturbed by Cui Hou, and saw Cui Hou's drunken body and mottled wine stained clothes.

"Father, slow down! Please take a look at this first, my father! ”

Cui Yi took the scarf, swept it slightly, and his sleepiness disappeared, frowning: "How did you get this thing?" "You kid shouldn't have stolen it while Fei was drunk, right?

Cui Hou hurriedly recounted what had just happened.

"This son, it's not easy!" Cui Yi stroked his beard, "If this method is true, tsk, it seems that my Cui family has fallen to the lower level...... Anyway, the Cui family will admit it! ”

"After I write a copy, you quickly call the master of the family to test a furnace according to this method to see how effective this method is." Of course, such a precious original should be properly preserved, Cui Yi bluntly ordered, and started work overnight, regardless of what he slept.

Not to mention Cui Yi and Cui Hou's busyness, Fei Qian was lying comfortably in the quilt at this time, the corners of his mouth were upturned, the same thing, different occasions have different effects.

If it is forced to take out this party in desperation, not only will it not be rewarded, but it will also be ridiculed, and the law of the law of the jungle of the family clan has no warmth at all.

Now that Fei Min, the potential owner of Fei, has obtained the same status as Cui Hou under the care of Fei Min, no matter how long this temporarily obtained position can last, and then take it out in this case, it means that the gift of friendship, the Cui family must follow the rules of etiquette and exchange between the Shi clan, otherwise it will lose its reputation among the Shi clan.

The scholar family is such a contradictory and unified group.

Since you are leaving Luoyang, of course, the cleaner the beginning and the end, the better, and the recipe that Fei Qian gave to Cui Hou is only a little better than the formula of the Han Dynasty glaze, mainly in the lead material is more pure, and the resulting glaze will be more lustrous and translucent.

Fei Qian even thought that if the Cui family could continue to study further and discover a better formula ratio, it would also be the Cui family's ability. Fei Qian was thinking casually, when suddenly a ray of red light came into his eyes through the lintel, and he blinked a little uncomfortably and looked out of the window.

At this time, the remnant sun was like blood, reflecting Luoyang City's blood red.
