The back garden of the Tang Mansion is much larger than that of the Liuyun Mansion, after all, there are two masters living here. The other door in the back garden should be Tang Tu's own home, Tang Wentong's mansion is actually connected with Tang Tu's house through this back garden, covering a considerable area.

Zheng Yu was bored and walked to the center of the garden, there was an artificial lake in the middle, and there was a pavilion by the lake, and he wanted to go and sit for a while. When I passed by a low wall, I saw a man in a dark green patterned robe, standing by the flower pond against the wall, looking down and studying something. Zheng Yu walked over curiously. The man probably heard the footsteps, and without raising his head, he stretched out his hand back and said, "Quick, bring it quickly." Zheng Yu was stunned, thinking that he had recognized the wrong person, so he said: "This brother, I don't know what you need, I'll help you find it?" ”

When the man heard the voice, he turned his head to look at Zheng Yu, stared curiously for a while, and said, "Who are you?" ”。

"Uh... In Xia Zheng Yu, he is a friend of Tang Zhangjing, the eldest prince of the Tang Mansion. ”

The man was stunned for a moment after hearing this, his whole body turned around, and he looked Zheng Yu up and down, until Zheng Yu who saw it straightened his hair and said, "Oh, it turned out to be Brother Zheng, I... Uh, it's really better to be famous than to meet, under the surname Huang, the name is Shang, and the word Ziyong. My father and Mr. Tang are business partners, and I have been temporarily living in Mr. Tang's house in Beijing for a few days, and I have nothing to do today. ”

After listening to this, Zheng Yu smiled and said: "Fortunately, Brother Huang was also at the poetry meeting yesterday?" ”

"Oh, that's not true, but I heard about those three masterpieces, Brother Zheng, you and Brother Zhang Jing are friends, it must be Zheng Yu of the Poetry Club."

"Hahaha, Brother Huang is worthy of being a businessman, so calculating. What did Brother Huang want just now? Is there anyone else here? Did something happen? ”

Zhu Zuochang was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly explained: "No, there is no one else, I just thought that my subordinates brought tools." While wandering around, I found a long bottle in the crack in the wall and tried to take it out. ”

It turned out that after Zheng Yu left, Zhu Zuochang was bored for a while, so he asked Tang Wentong and them to accompany the eldest princess, and he took the white-faced eunuch Zhou Gonggong to the back garden to stroll. Wang Qi and the others all know the ability of Gonggong Zhou, with him, the emperor's safety is safe, and this is inside the Tang Mansion, so they didn't insist on coming along. When I didn't want to wander around, I found a porcelain vase in the crack in the wall, and I wanted to take it out, but my hand couldn't reach in, and I couldn't get it up for a long time with a branch. Zhu Zuochang asked Gonggong Zhou to get a long clip and wanted to clip it out.

Zheng Yu stepped forward to take a look, the mouth of the bottle expanded a circle, and there was a very thin and long neck neck downward, and below it was a slightly larger round belly, a bit like the jade bottle in the hand of Guanyin Bodhisattva on TV, only longer and thinner.

This is simple, what kind of clip do you use, picked up the branch that Zhu Zuochang used to hook the bottle just now, looked at it, it was thin and long, shook his head and threw it aside. Turn around and find a suitable branch, as long as you find a long branch with multiple bends and moderate thickness, use the toughness of the summer branch, squeeze into the bottle mouth along the direction of the bend, and then pull it out vertically, the force on the bend of the branch will naturally clamp the inner wall of the bottle, and the bottle can be easily lifted.

In a huge garden, it was too easy to find a branch that met the criteria, and after a while, I found it, stood in the crack of the wall and began to take the porcelain vase. At this time, Father-in-law Zhou ran towards this side from afar with an object in his hand. Zhu Zuochang glanced at Zheng Yu with his back to this side, and hurriedly waved his hand to stop Gonggong Zhou from approaching, and motioned for him to retreat away. Zhou Gonggong realized, found a corner, and dodged.

"Hahaha, Brother Huang, please take a look" As soon as Gonggong Zhou hid, Zheng Yu turned around with the porcelain bottle, and the branch at the mouth of the bottle had not been pulled out, maintaining the appearance of just inserting it.

Zhu Zuochang took the porcelain vase, pulled out the branch with a little force, looked at each other, and said in surprise: "Brother Zheng is talented!" How could I not have thought of such a simple truth. ”

Zheng Yu waved his hand and smiled to indicate that it was nothing, patted the dust on his clothes, and prepared to leave. Zhu Zuochang hurriedly said: "It's not too early at this hour, Brother Zheng can have a meal at noon?" ”

Zheng Yu was stunned for a moment, thinking that the other party was going to invite himself to dinner because of such a small favor, and sighed in his heart that rich people are generous. said politely: "I made an appointment with Tang Zhangjing at noon, and Brother Huang can be together if it is convenient." ”

"Hahaha, convenient, convenient, very convenient, then in this way, the little brother is the east, we will see you in the opposite Qingfeng Building in a moment, I will go back and respond to a lunch without waiting for me."

Zheng Yu was a little confused, he just said politely, he didn't expect the other party to be so on the pole, so he replied helplessly: "Okay, I'll leave first, and I'll go back to Brother Tang to invite him together."

"Please". "Please"

Watching Zheng Yu go out of the back garden, Gonggong Zhou quietly appeared behind Zhu Zuochang, Zhu Zuochang seemed to know that there was someone behind him, and said: "Big companion, go and arrange it, try to tell Tang Tu Mo to leak his mouth"

"Obey" Father-in-law Zhou lowered his head and retreated.

Qingfeng Building, a two-story restaurant, faces the Tang family's mansion across the street, and is also the property of the Tang family. It was noon, and there was a steady stream of people coming to eat, and there were no empty seats in the hall.

The largest private room on the second floor was named the Peace Hall, and there was a large table large enough for ten people to sit, and only three people were seated at this time. But the dishes served were all over the table, and there were six kinds of wine alone, not the quantity, all of which were abruptly ordered.

It is understandable that the shopkeeper personally served the food, after all, the boss's son came. But when you left, you came to the sentence: "Three slow use, and then serve other dishes when there is a vacant seat later!" "Isn't that a bit excessive? This is a serious waste, and it can't eat so much with three pigs! It's all stacked on top of each other!

This abruptness is not quite right since he came back from shopping, and he is very polite to himself and this Huang brother, and even a little cautious. The weather is quite hot at noon in the seventh lunar month, but there is an ice basin in the private room to cool down, although it is not as powerful as the air conditioning in later generations, but it is not so hot that it is sweating profusely. At this time, Tang Tu was sweating like rain, and kept wiping the sweat from his hair to his face with his sleeve. Zheng Yu was a little worried that it wouldn't be sick, right? Then he opened his mouth and asked, "Zhang Jing, are you not feeling well?" Why don't you get back together next time? Let's go to the hospital first? "You don't need to mention the payment of the bill, and you can't mention it, isn't it a slap in the face to say this in someone's own store?

"Zhang Jing?? What's wrong? Uncomfortable? Zhu Zuochang also pretended to be concerned and asked. It's okay that he didn't ask, as soon as the words fell, Tang Tu's body shook and hurriedly replied: "It's okay, it's okay, maybe I had a cold last night, and the weather is warm and weak, drink, yes, just drink and drink some wine." ”

Zheng Yu was still not at ease, walked over and stretched out his hand to probe his abrupt forehead, and said to himself: "Hey, there is no fever" When he was still wondering, he saw that Zhu Zuochang had already brought a wine jug and got up to send it over. Seeing this, Tang suddenly stood up, stepped forward with both hands, and said as he walked: "How dare you bother Brother Huang, please sit down." Seeing this scene, Zheng Yu wondered very much, could it be that this Huang Naishang's family was a big customer of the Tang Tu family? Need to be so respectful? There is no other possibility, Tang Tu's second uncle is a member of the second grade, and he still has military power in his hands, so it stands to reason that there is no need for people who are very afraid. Zheng Yu didn't think about the emperor at all, what kind of joke are you kidding!! Writing novels? The emperor is such a precious animal, so easy to see! Therefore, it is basically determined that the Huang family may be more powerful than the Tang family, and the Tang family's business needs the help of others. Thinking about it, he returned to his seat.

Tang Tu took the wine jug handed by Zhu Zuochang and began to pour himself cup after cup.
