Bianjing City, as soon as the January month passes, the New Year's flavor is really abandoned. There is no longer the red and green of the New Year, and the men, women and children play and carnival day and night. What you have to face every day is still your own firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. Of course, the Chinese New Year has passed, and no poor person will worry about being blocked to collect debts. Naturally, there will be no "front door debt collection is chaotic, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea." I don't care about his mother, and I go out the back door to see the plum blossoms. "It's embarrassing.

Only outside the mansion of the old minister Cai, there are still pieces of red colored paper and red lanterns. It's just that it's no longer the red charms and red colored paper to celebrate the New Year, but the colored paper and red lights that the Cai family will hang for the wedding of the fifth prince Cai Ying and Emperor Maode in February.

Caifu is located on the north side of Daliangmen West Street outside the West Gate of the Inner City of Bianjing, facing a tall and magnificent white powder mud wall mansion facing the street, the main entrance of the house is a gate with three bays, and trees are planted outside the courtyard wall. Just from the more than two zhang Aconitum Gate, you can see the prominence of the Cai family.

Now it is early before the wedding, but on the street in front of the gate of Cai's house, along the length of the courtyard wall of Cai's house, all the bright red and luxurious carpets have been paved, and the servants who come in and out of the house are busy all running. The red carpet spread on the street caused passers-by to only go down the corner of the house opposite Cai's house, for fear of stepping on the dirty, such a big red carpet, I am afraid that they will not be able to afford to eat or drink for two or three years.

The two people who had just walked over, one of them looked at the lanterns and carpets arranged outside Cai's Mansion with envy from time to time, and the other man leaned into the man's ear and whispered: "Don't look at the glamorous outside, in fact, it's just that, it's not even as good as you and me." ”

The man who turned his head to look turned his head and sneered: "Zhang Laosan, you can't eat your own mouth, so you say that the wine is sour." Do you know whose house this is? Do you know whose lady you married?! His face was full of exaggerated disdain, so that when his companion asked him, he would talk to his companion about it well, and appear to be well-informed.

Who knew that the man didn't ask him, but said: "I naturally know that this is the mansion of the old minister Cai, and I also know that I will marry Emperor Maode of the official family this month." Do you know why I said that these people are nothing more than that? ”

This question made the man who turned around ask curiously: "Zhang Laosan, isn't there a story in this?" ”

"Naturally, there is. In the past few days, the Liao people have come to Bianjing City, and on the first day of their arrival in the city, they can't wait to meet Emperor Maode at the state bridge; On the second day, he sneaked into the palace and had a private meeting with the emperor. It doesn't matter if it's a private meeting, guess where? The man named Zhang Laosan asked after selling a pass.

"Little brother really doesn't know, Third Brother Zhang, let's talk about it!" The man waited to hear the story, and Zhang Laosan immediately became Zhang Sange.

"Hey, Flower Sleep Pavilion!" Zhang Laosan said obscenely, "Do you know what Huamian Pavilion is?" When asked this, Zhang Laosan's face was swollen red, as if he was the one who entered the palace and had a private meeting with the emperor.

"What's it?" The other man had no choice but to be patient and asked with this third child.

"My cousin's wife and nephew's good friend Ma Wu, do you remember? It's the one who works on an errand in the palace - according to Nama Wu, Huamian Pavilion is the place where the emperor bathes! Speaking of which, Zhang Laosan was a little unsteady even walking, and his face was as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

"What happened? Third Brother Zhang, don't want to hang the appetite of the younger brother. The other man listened to half of it, and how could he let it go? Immediately ask about the rest of the matter.

"Today, Sweetwater Lane Cuilian Lady's house, if you are the east, I will give you a good talk. I want to tell you, if Ma Wu hadn't gone home that day and had a few more drinks with me, the outside would never have known! This Zhang Laosan emphasized the scarcity of the erotic story he heard.

"There's nothing to do left and right, you and I will go here, just eat and drink and listen to the commentary of the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty of the Liao State Horse Private Association." The other man hurriedly agreed, and when he left, he glanced at the grand and generous Cai Xianggong's mansion again, thinking that Cai Xianggong's daughter-in-law who had not passed the door would go out of the wall, his heart was immediately balanced, he spat on the ground, and walked away with the third child.

In fact, where did this Zhang Laosan hear the exclusive secret? It's just that when he was eating wine in a small shop in Wenji Lane yesterday, he listened to a few people at the next table, and he didn't believe it, but what those people said was the Tao, which was reasonable. In addition, when people hear this kind of obscenity, most of them are willing to believe that it is true, so Zhang Laosan keeps it in his heart. Passing by Cai's Mansion today, just a few casual words, he was deceived into drinking a meal, and he was naturally proud in his heart. He didn't dare to let this man invite him to eat in the restaurant, so he was wary that when he arrived at the restaurant, everyone in the room was telling this story, so his meal would be ruined.

Cai Yan was originally at home today to discuss various trivial matters before and after the wedding, and in the same year, Jinshi Zhang Zhiye invited him to have a drink with him, saying that he wanted to celebrate the wedding for him. Cai Yan didn't want to go, but Zhang Zhiye was celebrating his wedding, and this reason couldn't be shirked, so he had to change into civilian clothes and go to Panjialou with Zhang Zhiye.

The two of them are also frequent customers of Pan's house, and after they came in, they were led by the little two in the store to a street pavilion on the second floor, and the door of the pavilion was closed, and the chaos outside was suddenly much smaller.

"Just bring good wine and good food, and the two of us will play from noon to subtime!" Zhang Zhiye laughed and commanded the shopkeeper boldly.

Soon, all kinds of cold dishes and hot dishes were put on the table together. Drinking in private is no more than a formal banquet, and you have to drink three glasses of wine before you can eat. When the wine and food were ready, the two of them ate and drank.

"Little brother wishes Brother Cai a good couple, IKEA, Qin Se and Ming, and raise eyebrows!" Zhang Zhiye picked up his wine glass and congratulated Cai Yan again and again.

Cai Ying's face was full of joy when Zhang Zhiye said, "Joy and joy." I drank my brother's wedding wine today, and I will drink your wedding wine another day. ”

"Alas! Where does the little brother have such a blessing as Brother Cai? Marry the most beloved emperor of the official family. Zhang Zhiye deliberately lamented. Zhang Zhiye is also a Jinshi, so naturally he will not lack a wife's room. Outside the Donghua Gate, on the day the Jinshi were unveiled, Zhang Zhiye, the new Jinshi of their department, was the first to be carried away by the person who robbed the marriage because of his handsome appearance and unmarried youth, and married the thirteen daughters of the Li family who were engaged in the grain and rice business in Bianjing.

"It's only to blame the Li family for being too fast, and they actually took off your shoes first, but failed to let you run away!" Cai Yan made fun of Zhang Zhiye again.

The two of them made fun of each other, and drank a lot of wine, and then a girl about sixteen years old came in from outside the pavilion, holding a pipa, and the dress was also cute, after the girl came in, she first gave a salute to the two, and asked crisply: "Do you want to listen to the new song "Flower Sleep Private Meeting" recently? ”
