Not long after the king of Qin returned to Chang'an, Li Jiancheng, the prince of Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, also returned to Chang'an.

And in the sky, there were already snowflakes floating at this time. From Guanzhong to Henan and Shandong, everything is shrouded in a white snow.

Zhang Yunwen raised his head and looked at the scattered snowflakes, but all kinds of feelings came to his heart. Stretch out your hand, and the cold snowflakes fall on the palm of your hand, cool.

On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the sacrificial stove.

As the saying goes, "Men don't worship the moon, women don't sacrifice to the stove." Therefore, one day, none of the maids in the mansion touched the stove. Zhang Yunwen and the Liu brothers cooked by themselves.

Originally, those male servants saw that Zhang Yunwen was doing it himself, so they also fought to cook, but Zhang Yunwen drove them all out.

I think that at the beginning, Zhang Yunwen's cooking skills were very good, especially the field food, which was a delicacy. However, he didn't want these miscellaneous servants to mix in the kitchen and steal the cooking skills he was proud of. After all, this is only the Tang Dynasty, and many recipes of later generations have not yet been invented.

After having a good meal with the Liu brothers, Zhang Yunwen suddenly remembered something - stove sugar.

When he was young, every time he was young, his mother would always offer candy to the stove, saying that it was to use sugar to stick to the mouth of the king of the stove, so that he would not speak ill of the emperor in front of him. However, at that time, he would always secretly lick two mouthfuls of stove candy to satisfy his cravings.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile a little, and then thought of those children of the Qin Palace.

So, he spent half a day making twenty or thirty round sugar melons, wrapped them in a piece of brown paper, and came to the Qin Palace.

When I saw Li Shimin and his wife, I first said a few auspicious words, and then walked to Li Yu's courtyard.

As soon as I arrived at the small courtyard, I heard a few playful laughter. When I went in, I saw that it was Li Yu and the eldest sister Princess Xiangcheng and their respective maidservants playing in the snow on the ground.

After a series of diagnosis and treatment by Sun Simiao, although Li Yu's condition did not improve significantly, his mood was at least much more cheerful.

Seeing Zhang Yunwen bring a paper bag, Li Yu smiled and said, "I don't know what Brother Yunwen brought over this time?" ”

In the past, when they first met, Li Yu didn't know Zhang Yunwen's age, and when she knew that Zhang Yunwen was only fifteen years old, she no longer called him Zhang Junjun, but affectionately called "Brother Yunwen". Zhang Yunwen couldn't help touching his nose at that time, did he have to be a generation lower than Li Shimin and others?

However, seeing this sick girl with a sallow face, Zhang Yunwen also felt pity in her heart. So every time he came to Qin Wangfu to tell him a joke, he would always bring something, either food or play.

Zhang Yunwen opened the paper bag: "It's just some stove sugar!" Come on, girl, come and have a taste! ”

Li Yu and his maidservant Rui'er unceremoniously picked up a piece of stove candy and put it in their mouths and ate it. And the princess of Xiangcheng hesitated for a moment, and when she saw Zhang Yunwen showing a bright smile, she picked up a piece of stove candy and put it in her mouth.

"Delicious! It's delicious! Li Yu muttered as he ate.

Zhang Yunwen smiled: "Then put this bag of sugar here, leave it for you to eat slowly!" But give some to your younger siblings! Also, eat less sugar, so as not to give birth to a bite of worm teeth! ”

Li Yu suddenly chewed the stove candy and nodded frequently.

Before you know it, the four years of martial arts are about to pass.

Because the rebellion of Liu Heimin in Shandong has not been completely quelled, there are still Xiao Liang regimes in the south that are still surviving under the blows of Li Xiaogong and Li Jing, Jianghuai and Du Fuwei Fu Gongyou, Lingnan has not been attached to the Tang Dynasty, and there are Turkic raids in the north, this Spring Festival, Chang'an is not lively.

Shortly after the beginning of the year, the crown prince Jiancheng, the king of Qin, Li Shimin, and the king of Qi, Li Yuanji, led the troops to the battle.

This time, Zhang Yunwen still did not go on the expedition. It was not his request, but Li Shimin's decision. In Li Shimin's view, Zhang Yunwen was able to establish a relatively complete intelligence network in the past few months, recruited dozens of reconnaissance battalion soldiers, and the most important thing was to find a miracle doctor for Li Yu and Changsun, which was no more important than going out on an expedition. So, Zhang Yunwen was left in Chang'an.

In the end, Zhang Yunwen, who was really bored, followed the soldiers and rangers in the Chang'an Outer Manor every day to have a few "death races", or carried three days of rations to survive on the mountain for seven days of "wild survival". It's not like soaking in the drunken cloud building, watching the pigeons fly around every day, so as to understand the information of various places for the first time.

The days passed, and in the blink of an eye, March had arrived.

Zhang Yunwen has not gained nothing these days. Under the daily noise of the Liu brothers and the persuasion of fine wine and food, Yang Chang finally came out of the mountain. However, his object of refuge was not King Qin, but he Zhang Yunwen. And the reason for his refuge is very simple, that day Zhang Yunwen cooked two fish, and the Liu brothers showed off in front of Yang Chang, and after Yang Chang and his son ate the fish, they decided to take refuge in Zhang Yunwen. The condition was that Zhang Yunwen provided their food every day.

Later, I also learned that the life of the Yang Chang family in Chang'an was not very easy, the father and son were both engaged in slaughtering dogs, and the money they earned every month was not enough for food and clothing.

And those once debauched rangers also honestly train hard every day. Zhang Yunwen was pleasantly surprised to find that the quality of this group of people was more suitable for being scouts than Li Shimin's Xuanjia team members. Among them, there are also two super snipers, Ma Wangshan and "Old Seven" Wu Peng.

Zhang Yunwen once saw the two men pick up a four-stone bow and arrow, and hit the wicker painted with red paint and swaying in the wind from a distance of 100 meters. Of course, after shooting more than ten arrows, the arms of the two fell weakly.

Seeing this, Zhang Yunwen suddenly remembered the long-range sniper crossbow he had used, the kind of ultra-long-range crossbow arrow that could shoot the enemy from a distance of three hundred meters. However, it is made of pure steel, and according to the current process, I am afraid it is difficult to make it.

On this day, Zhang Yunwen had just returned home from the reconnaissance camp when he was stopped by the Liu brothers and Yang Chang.

"Third child, take us to see the tavern you opened!" The Liu brothers said in unison.

Yang Chang also looked at Zhang Yunwen with an eye of agreement.

Zhang Yunwen looked at their resolute expressions and had no choice but to tell the truth. Unexpectedly, the three of them laughed at the same time: "I already knew that this was the case!" ”

Zhang Yunwen was immediately ashamed, so he made up his mind to open a wine shop in Chang'an.

The March sun was warm on my body. Through the gaps between the branches, I felt a different feeling when I saw the fine rays of sunlight falling on my body.

After taking two turns around Lan Kwai Fong, Zhang Yunwen didn't find the store that was going to be sold. Sighing, he was about to leave Fang City, when he suddenly heard someone shouting behind him: "Hey, isn't this General Zhang Yunwen Zhang?" ”

Zhang Yunwen looked back and saw an old man standing behind him on crutches. But it was Wang Qu of Luoyang at that time.

"Oh, it turned out to be Wang Lao! I wonder if you're in good health? Zhang Yunwen said politely.

Wang Qu smiled "hehe": "General Lao Xiaozhang is concerned, the little old man is still in good health!" Well, I heard that General Zhang wants to find a shop? ”

When Zhang Yunwen heard this, he immediately became alert: "Oh, entrusted by someone!" If you can't find it, that's fine! ”

Wang Qu turned his head and looked at a three-story building behind him: "How does General Zhang look at this shop?" ”

"It's very wide, and I'm afraid it's huge. In addition, the location here is superior, and it can be regarded as a relatively good shop! ”

"How about the little old man make the decision and sell this building to General Zhang?"

"This can't be helped!"

"Make it!" Wang Qu smiled, "This is for the general, not for the general!" ”

"How much does that cost?" Zhang Yunwen asked tentatively.

"Fifty thousand!"

"Uh, I'm thinking about it!" Not too expensive, not too cheap, it's about the same price.
