Chapter 322: I am Yang Chang
Chapter 346: I am Yang Chang
This natural home was given to them by Zhang Yunwen as early as when the Liu brothers got married. In other words, these two are now the owners of this natural dwelling. It is also the monthly income of this natural residence that allows the two of them to support such a large house and more than a dozen maids.
Liu Wu was wearing a white undershirt with a dark red coat, and a horizontal knife hanging from his waist. He and Liu Yong started from a lieutenant in the military government of Wannian County, Chang'an, to Lieutenant Guoyi, and then to Lieutenant Zhichong, during which they participated in the war against the Turks. Up to now, he is also the general who leads the general of the fifth rank to the top of the rank of General Dingyuan.
By the time of the military reform this year, the two were reluctant to be recruited into the army, so Zhang Yunwen ran some connections and transferred the two of them to the left prison guard before the military reform. The main duty of this prison guard is to guard the gates of Chang'an. After the military reform, it was subordinate to the commander of the Northern Ya. Usually he will hardly go on the expedition.
Liu Wu stood at the door of the natural residence, greeting the guests. And Yang Shi stood by Liu Wu's side and strengthened his momentum.
Guests gradually came to this natural residence, first in the building outside the clerical office to show the invitation, after the document to register the name, then go inside to Liu Wu, fist salute, and then enter the natural residence.
Liu Wu saw that the other party hugged his fists and saluted, first bowed and saluted, and when he got to the back, his waist was really sore, so he bowed his hand.
At first, there were many guests, and it was often too late to salute one by one, so they had to make a few square bows, which was regarded as a salute together. In the back, the guests gradually became scarce, but they had to bow down one by one. Finally, the guests arrived.
Liu Wu looked at the paperwork that was being packed, and then looked at the natural residence behind him, and couldn't help stretching a long lazy waist, shaking his waist from side to side.
"Ouch, damn, this bending down is more tiring than doing it all night!" Liu Wu complained quietly.
When Yang Shiyi on the side heard this, he was immediately puzzled: "Well, Brother Liu, what did you just say?" ”
Liu Wu suddenly smiled "hehe": "Hehe, little stone, you will understand when you find your daughter-in-law!" ”
Hearing Liu Wu speak like this, Yang Shi suddenly looked ashamed. Although he is not young, he has been in the military camp for a long time, where can he find any daughter-in-law. However, he had heard of this kind of thing from the rude men in the army, so he knew it well.
Seeing Yang Shi's expression, Liu Wu immediately laughed and patted Yang Shi's shoulder: "Haha, Xiaoshi, you kid is starting to think about his daughter-in-law too!" ”
When Yang Shi heard this, his face suddenly turned red, and he retorted weakly: "No, there is no one!" ”
Liu Wu twisted his waist and slowly walked towards the natural residence, no longer paying attention to Yang Shi.
Among the guests attending the natural residence, it would be easy to do it if all the generals were in the house, and as soon as the good wine and meat came up, find a few women with heavy makeup and glamorous makeup to sing songs and explore the pipa, which can be regarded as entertaining the past. However, among the guests, there were half of the civil servants, and these literati-born officials paid attention to the word "elegant", so in Liu Wu's view, they were the most difficult masters to serve.
The first floor of the natural residence is full of military generals. In the corner, an urn of liquor is stacked. The civil servants are concentrated on the second floor. Here, the beaded curtains hang down, the screen hides, and a musician and kaisha dressed in elegant palace clothes sit behind the screen, either playing the silk and bamboo orchestra strings, or singing and chanting. The sound of silk and bamboo and singing echoed above the second floor. And some of these civil officials have half-closed eyes, quietly enjoying the melody, or touching their beards and looking at the landscapes, flowers and birds on the screen, laughing, or whispering to each other.
However, what made these civil officials unhappy was the noise from downstairs from time to time. The sound was so noisy and noisy that it even covered the sound of silk and bamboo on the second floor.
After Liu Wu entered the natural residence, he first greeted these generals on the first floor. He was originally a martial artist, and he knew the hobbies and taboos of these generals. A few words often cause these generals to nod their heads and say yes.
After drinking two bowls of wine with these generals, Liu Wu had to go up to the second floor to greet those ministers.
Slowly walking up to the second floor, Liu Wu waved to these civil officials, and said with a smile: "Thank you for coming to the full moon banquet of my nephew, and I will give you a cup of my brother Zhang Yunwen in the next generation!" ”
Liu Wu's voice was loud, and as soon as he said it, he covered the sound of bamboo. When the musicians and kataka heard this, they immediately stopped playing and singing. And those ministers immediately looked at Liu Wu in unison.
"Hehe, General Liu is polite! Grandpa Zhang's full moon, this is a happy event, and I am very fortunate to be invited by Grandpa Zhang! A middle-aged civil official stood up first and said.
Someone took the lead, and the rest of the officials at the table also competed to echo it.
And the officials at the other tables gradually stood up, polite and flattering. Among them, they are all talking about Zhang Yunwen, but for the protagonist of this banquet, Zhang Ji of the full moon, he rarely mentions it.
Liu Wu was polite with a stiff face, and secretly scolded in his heart: "These hypocritical guys say one thing in their mouths, but in fact they don't think like this, the ghost knows!" ”
After a few drinks with everyone, Liu Wu stayed on the second floor, but he felt uncomfortable in his heart, and reluctantly said a few perfunctory words, then confessed his guilt and hurriedly went downstairs.
When he came to the first floor, he heard the noise, heard the sound of the wine order, and saw the cups and plates on the table, and Liu Wu felt a trace of kindness.
Liu Wu laughed: "Come on, come on, generals, Liu will give you another drink!" ”
In this way, the civil officials upstairs listened to the silk bamboo and ate the delicacies, and the military generals downstairs carried out the wine order, shouting, you pull me to pour wine, I pull you to pour wine. A meal was eaten slowly.
When I arrived at the next two moments, the upstairs and downstairs were not clear. The civilian, military and military generals were all drunk, and while holding on to the railing, they shouted: "I'm not drunk!" Or shouted wildly: "Heaven and earth are infinite, and yin and yang turn to each other." People live in a world, and suddenly the wind blows dust......"
Several civil officials who were not drunk looked at the chaotic scene in embarrassment, but shook their heads with a wry smile.
At this time, I suddenly heard a voice shouting: "Haha, this Yunwen hospitality is interesting!" A few years ago, he came to attend his daughter's full moon banquet in this natural residence, and now he is still in this natural residence to participate in his son's full moon banquet! It's really ridiculous, the dignified Yanshi County Prince, actually entertaining guests in this restaurant, where is this equal to me! ”
As soon as this voice sounded, the guests who were not drunk immediately looked at the source of the sound in surprise, and saw a Confucian scholar who was about twenty-seven or eighteen years old sitting on the steps, holding up the wine cup in his hand, and said loudly as if no one was around.
As soon as these words fell, those who were not drunk immediately rushed up two steps, trying to stop the Confucian from continuing to speak; Those who were half-drunk suddenly woke up and looked at the Confucian with a look of surprise; Those who were drunk, after making two muffled sounds, fell on the table and fell asleep.
Liu Wunai is a frequent visitor to the natural residence, and he often drinks the spirits here, so the amount of this wine is not small. Moreover, he knew that he was in charge of the reception today, and he had to drink a lot of wine, so he mixed a lot of water with this immortal drunkenness. After drinking these rounds of wine, the stomach was swollen, and the person was already half drunk.
After the Confucian student's words were shouted, Liu Wu suddenly raised his slightly aching head and looked at the Confucian student in surprise. After a moment, it occurred to me that it seemed that I should come out and say something.
When he took two steps and was about to speak, the Confucian student called out again, "Did I say something wrong?" Zhang Yunwen treated us with such an attitude. At the two banquets, no one was seen, and only one of the nominal brothers came out to entertain them. Although he is only a seven-rank official, he also serves in the Hanlin Academy. That Yunwen dog-eyed ...... "Before he finished speaking, he was covered by a civil official who was not drunk and didn't let him say it again."
Liu Wu knew the latter words, and when he was organizing the language, he suddenly heard a loud roar coming from the first floor: "Wu Na Sour Confucian, what are you talking nonsense!" ”
This sound was like a thunderbolt, resounding throughout the Zuiyun Tower. The guests who had been drunk and asleep were suddenly startled, raised their heads suddenly, and looked around with blank eyes.
Everyone looked at each other, only to see a giant man walking out of the corner of the first floor. This giant man was extremely tall and burly, about forty years old, and there were already several wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. This person has a majestic appearance and a majestic atmosphere. When those generals saw this big man, they immediately praised: "What a good man!" ”
When Yang Shi saw this big man, he immediately shouted: "Dad! ”
This person is Yang Chang, the father of Yang Shi.
Yang Chang glanced at Yang Shi, then walked forward by himself, came to the Confucian who spoke wildly, and looked down condescendingly at the Confucian sitting on the stairs.
Being looked at by Yang Chang's gaze, the Confucian student couldn't help but feel a sense of panic in his heart, broke free from the hand of the colleague who was covering his mouth, looked at Yang Chang, but said in his mouth: "You, who are you?" ”
"I'm Yang Chang!" Yang Chang's eyes were awe-inspiring and he said loudly.
When I thought about this name, I didn't have any impression, and I guessed in my heart that this person was a nobody, just a strong outsider. At the moment, he said in a hard voice: "What does this official say about Zhang Yunwen, what does it have to do with you?" ”
Yang Chang laughed: "I am a diner under Zhang Yunwen, what do you say has to do with me?" Suddenly stopped laughing, and said sharply, "You keep saying that Zhang Yunwen treats you poorly, and this banquet is placed in this natural residence, but what qualifications do you have to let Zhang Yunwen treat you well?" You are just a seven-grade official, do you know that the person who dined above Zhang Yunwen's mansion at this time was not a prominent person, and His Majesty personally congratulated him, do you think you are qualified to enter his mansion? ”
As soon as these words came out, not only the Confucian student, but also the civil and military generals who naturally lived in the house were suddenly silent.
Yang Chang said again: "You said that Zhang Yunwen treated you lightly and asked Liu Wu to come over to receive you, and you know that Liu Wu is the general of Zhengwupin Dingyuan, although he is not Zhang Yunwen's biological brother, but Zhang Yunwen respects this Liu Wu more than his biological brother." There is also this kid, that is, my son, who is Zhang Yunwen's personal soldier, and now leads the military police battalion to be the sixth lieutenant. When it comes to intimacy with Zhang Yunwen and the size of the official system, where is it treated like you? ”
When Yang Chang said this, the Confucian was speechless. And the guests' faces changed a lot.
"Besides, Zhang Yunwen entertained you in the Natural Residence and Zuiyun Building, but it was a helpless move. Thinking about that Zhang family mansion, how can it accommodate so many people. Besides, Zhang Yunwen is an honest person, he has been an official for so many years, but the house is still that size. It has never expanded. This is rare among the princes! Yang Chang gradually smiled, and his face was no longer so serious.
Several civil officials immediately said: "This Yang, well, Yang Chang is right, there are not many honest people like Grandpa Zhang!" We are truly in awe! ”
As soon as these people took the lead, some other civil officials also followed Zhang Yunwen's sycophants, saying that Grandpa Zhang's poetry is amazing, and he is really a model for us to learn. What to say Zhang Yunwen is calm and atmospheric, and there are all kinds of things.
Looking at the smiles on the faces of these sycophant officials, Yang Chang was very unhappy, and his face slowly sank again.
Seeing Dao Yang Chang's face, those officials immediately stopped.
At this time, the civil official who had covered his Confucian mouth smiled and said: "This Brother Yang must not be angry, Wen Yuan is a simple and modest person, and he must have drunk too much today, so he has lost his temper!" ”
Yang Chang sneered slightly: "Hmph, drinking too much? The smell of wine in his body did not come from his body, but from his clothes! Forget it, whether it's deliberate or excessive, I'll believe you once, if I hear your nonsense next time, don't blame me for not being angry! ”
Hearing Yang Chang's tough words, the Confucian Sheng's heart shook, and when he wanted to ask how to be polite, he saw that Yang Chang turned sideways suddenly, with his left foot as the axis, rotated half of his body, and his right foot was like a whip, passing in front of the Confucian student, and the strong wind brought up made the Confucian student close his eyes slightly.
The heel slammed into the arm-thick railing. I heard a loud bang, "Smack-"
The arm-thick railing broke in two.
Suddenly, the natural dwelling was silent, and you could hear the needles falling. Whether it was a civilian official or a military general, they all looked at Yang Chang with horror.
And the Confucian student, when he opened his eyes and saw the broken railing, his mouth was wide open, and he was so surprised that he couldn't close it.
