Chapter 263: Yang Mansion
When he drank to Xing, Yang Huaiyu held the wine glass in his hand and explained to Zhong Hao the Sutra of Wine: "This drink Yulu wine should be made with a glass cup." The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Yulu wine is like a bead bubble, which is drunk in a transparent glass cup, and its advantages can be seen. As for drinking this Fenjiu wine with a jade cup, there is a poem: "The jade bowl holds amber light." It can be seen that the jade bowl and jade cup can add the color of Fenjiu.
And this wine is drunk in a luminous glass. Shiyun: "Grape wine luminous cup, if you want to drink pipa, urge immediately." "It's just that the grapes and wine are bright red, and this poem is written heroically, but my generation of bearded men drink it, and it is inevitably not heroic enough.
As for drinking pear blossom wine, it is natural to use a jade cup, because the jade cup can best bring out the charm of pear blossom liquor. Poetry: "The red sleeves weave silk and praise persimmon leaves, and the green flag Gu wine takes advantage of the pear blossoms." "It can be imagined that in the past, the restaurant sold this pear blossom liquor, and it was hung with a green flag like a drop of cui, which reflected the spirit of the pear blossom wine, and drinking this pear blossom wine should naturally be a jade cup."
Zhong Hao listened to it and felt that it seemed to make sense, and after everyone finished speaking, they all quoted the last verse to cooperate, which is indeed quite a set.
"Hehe, I didn't expect Zhong Rong to study this wine with wine with such a deep study, it seems that the eldest brother still wants you to learn more." Zhong Hao listened to Yang Huaiyu's Haikan, but he really admired it, he hadn't heard of this before.
In addition to martial arts, Yang Huaiyu rarely has something to pretend to be in front of his eldest brother, and at this time, seeing his eldest brother's convincing look, he couldn't help but feel his vanity very satisfied.
In fact, these are all tunes made up by the vassals in Tokyo. Yang Huaiyu is a disciple of the general who grew up in Tokyo City, and he is also a little messy with those gentlemen, so he is naturally very familiar with these things.
The dishes of this Fan Lou are also really good, not only exquisitely made, but also good-looking, and the taste is also quite good. Although most of them are not stir-fried, those dishes are not inferior to stir-fried dishes, whether they are steamed or stewed.
It seems that in fact, whether it is steaming or stewing, as long as the effort is done, it can be made delicious. As soon as the stir-fry appears, it is actually nothing more than a fresh meal, but in fact, after eating it for a long time, it is just like that. In the end, the cooking method of stir-frying is afraid that it will gradually become one of the many cooking methods. At that time, steaming, stewing, frying, frying, frying, and stir-frying are actually the same, they are all ordinary cooking techniques.
In fact, those restaurants in Tokyo that can cook stir-fried food may not necessarily be self-cherishing, I am afraid that maintaining the mystery of stir-fried food as a means to attract customers is also an important purpose for them. Because once this stir-fry loses its mystery, it will not have so much charm.
This big meal, Zhong Hao ate really happily, and ate most of the oil and water that has been lost in the past few months.
After drinking and eating, Zhong Hao and Yang Huaiyu planned to go shopping on Mahang Street.
Zhong Hao has also been famous for a long time in this Mahang Street, Zhong Hao and Yang Huaiyu ate a little hard just now, and they were both shy at this time, and they just went to Mahang Street to walk and eat.
Yang Huaiyu called the shopkeeper, and when he paid for the wine, the shopkeeper actually said fifteen yuan! Although fifteen yuan is not a lot of money in Zhong Hao's eyes, Zhong Hao can't help but smack his tongue at the high price of Fanlou. It is estimated that the income of this Fan Lou in one day can be worth the income of many restaurants in a year. It is said that the price of Bianliang is high.
"Bianliang Ju, it's not easy", Zhong Hao finally realized it now.
Yang Huaiyu took out two pieces of silver to pay for the wine, and Zhong Hao came out of Fanlou and walked all the way to Mahang Street
Mahang Street is not far from Defan Tower, and their war horse will be put in Fan Lou first, and then they will go to Mahang Street to walk around and walk around, and then come back to ride.
The horse street of Bianliang, located in the old Fengqiu Gate, starts from the Tushizi of Panlou Street in the south, reaches the new Fengqiu Gate in the outer city in the north, is about 30 miles long, the street is full of hook fence tiles, the entertainment places are piled up, the lights are bright at night, it is one of the most lively streets in Bianliang City.
It is said that at night, the oil lamps are bright until dawn, every day, and the mosquitoes are evil because there are never mosquitoes in this street, so it is also called a mosquito-free street. Of course, this refers to summer, and there are no mosquitoes here in winter.
When Zhong Hao and Yang Huaiyu came to Mahang Street, it was already brightly lit and bustling with people. All kinds of restaurants, tea shops, and Goolan tiles are already overcrowded! People are enjoying Tokyo's bustling nightlife.
Not only are the restaurants, tea shops, and Goolan tiles on both sides of Mahang Street overcrowded, but even this street is also very lively. At this time, the streets of Mahang Street are full of people selling all kinds of food, selling all kinds of playthings, as well as juggling storytellers, fortune tellers and lookers, which are a little more lively than during the day.
Zhong Hao really felt the colorful nightlife of the Bianliang people.
However, although Mahang Street was lively, Zhong Hao and Yang Huaiyu, two big men, walked around for a while, but soon found that it was not very interesting. At this time, you should come to visit with beautiful women to have a feeling.
Yang Huaiyu obviously felt a little bored, and said with a smile at the moment: "Big brother, why don't you go to a pavilion and call a few girls to have fun?!" ”
"Haha, this one, let's do it another day. I'm afraid we can't do it today! It's a long time coming, so let's come back another day. ”
Mahang Street is full of hook fence tiles, and Zhong Hao really wants to see the style of the girls inside. But today I drank a little too much wine, and I was a little full of food, and I went to Qing~ Whether it was to drink flower wine in the building, or to go on the couch~ I am afraid that I am a little powerless, and I will spend some money in vain. It's better to come back another day, anyway, I'll have to stay in Tokyo for a while, and it's not too late to come back another day.
"Hehe, then listen to the eldest brother, let's come back another day!"
…………
The Yang family's mansion is located in the northwest of Tokyo City, next to the Jinshui River, on Tianbo Street, near the Northwest Water Gate.
Zhong Hao grew up listening to the story of "Yang Jiajiang" when he was a child, and he has been famous for a long time about this "Tianbo Mansion".
Of course, at this time, there was no plaque of "Tianbo Mansion" hanging at the door of Yang's Mansion, and there were only two gilded characters of "Yang's Mansion" written on the plaque. The origin of the name "Tianbo Mansion" is because the Yang Mansion is located on Tianbo Street, and the Yang Mansion is called "Tianbo Mansion" that was slowly formed in the later generations. Zhong Hao felt that there was really nothing wrong with naming the mansion after a street, and it was estimated that the Yang family was not much interested in this Tianbo Mansion.
Zhong Hao came to Tokyo for the first time, he didn't have any acquaintances, and his younger brother had a big house in Tokyo, so he naturally wanted to live with him.
I drank a lot last night, and it was late when I came to Yang's Mansion, so I fell asleep.
Speaking of which, he also called Yang Wenguang an uncle, he and Yang Huaiyu's brothers are commensurate, so he naturally wants to visit the elders in the house.
Early this morning, Zhong Hao asked Yang Huaiyu to lead him to visit his mother, Mrs. Du, who is also Yang Wenguang's wife, and now the head of the Yang Mansion.
"The little nephew visits his aunt, and his aunt is healthy!"
"Hehe, Wen Xuan doesn't need to be polite, can you still get used to living here?"
"It's so comfortable to stay here!" In the past few months, he went south with the army to quell the rebellion, although Zhong Hao has not fought much, but he also marched with the army along the way, and naturally slept in tents. It was the first time in months that I slept in a big bed, and it was so comfortable!
Mrs. Du said with a smile: "You kid is really good at talking, you will live here in the future, don't be polite, just treat this place as your home!" What do you want, even if you tell Zhong Rong, you will have to be closer in the future. ”
After Mrs. Du heard Yang Huaiyu say about Zhong Hao, she liked this junior who was able to write and martial arts and had an easy-going temperament. She specially instructed Yang Huaiyu to have a good relationship with Zhong Hao, he felt that Zhong Hao was already a straight man from the sixth grade at a young age, and he had a bright future. Speaking of which, although his son Yang Huaiyu is also a martial artist from the sixth grade, the military attache and the civil official are far from comparable.
"Hehe, the little nephew hasn't been polite to Zhong Rong!"
"Then let Zhong Rong lead you around the mansion, have a good rest, and study here with peace of mind! The city of Tokyo is a bustling place, and it's also a comfortable place for people to fall into discouragement! These days, Wenxuan, you can't go out to spend all day drinking, this style of Tokyo, when you finish the scientific examination, let Zhongrong take you to have a good look. But before the exam, my aunt resolutely refused to let you go out! "Mrs. Du heard Yang Huaiyu say that Zhong Hao came to Tokyo to participate in the lock hall test this time, so she had this advice.
When Zhong Hao heard this Aunt Yang's words, he was quite moved, this is really planning for himself, and he said very respectfully at the moment: "Little nephew obeys!" ”
…………
Bidding farewell to Mrs. Du, Yang Huaiyu led Zhong Hao to turn around in Yang's mansion.
The first feeling that this Yang Mansion gave Zhong Hao was that it was big, really big.
This Yang Mansion consists of three large inter-courtyards.
The middle courtyard is the main courtyard of the Yang Mansion, and there is a dismounted stone in front of the door. After the death of Yang Lao Linggong, Emperor Taizong had a special decree: all officials who passed in front of the Yang Mansion should "fall into the sedan chair and military attachés dismount" to show their respect for the Yang family.
There is a wall at the entrance, which is embossed with the patterns of plum, orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum and lotus. On both sides is the bell and drum tower, the bell tower and the drum tower are the custom buildings of the Jiangmen family, the bell in the Jiangmen family is called "gathering the bell", the drum is the "war drum", generally when the head of the family goes out to fight, the point will convene the generals, and order things to be used. The front courtyard is a place where important guests or families gather, and the back courtyard is where the owner of the Yang family lives.
There is a majestic and solemn point general platform and a martial arts arena for arranging troops in the east cross courtyard, which is the place where the children of the Yang family and the generals practice, with a point general platform, a training ground, a handsome flag, a gate, etc., and the scale is very large. This is basically the standard equipment of these shomen families in Tokyo.
Of course, most of the martial arts arenas of the Jiangmen family have been idle. The heads and children of their family are basically unable to ride horses and go into battle now, so this martial arts arena is naturally basically useless.
The west cross courtyard is made into the garden of Yang's house, and there is a large lake in the courtyard that occupies a large area of the courtyard, and there are stone bridges connecting the courtyard. The whole west courtyard rockery and clear water are scattered, the beautiful trees and flowers are planted all over, and the scenery is really good. Well, of course, it's winter now, and the scenery is a little worse, and those flowers and trees are withering and falling leaves. If you want to enjoy the real scenery of this garden, you have to wait until spring and summer to enjoy it.
There are many fine houses in this west cross courtyard, where you can stay overnight to entertain distinguished guests who come to the house, and Zhong Hao stayed in one of the largest fine houses last night. This fine house is elegantly decorated, divided into inside and outside, and the ground dragon is burning underneath, which is very warm.
…………
Zhong Hao followed Yang Huaiyu around, walked around the Yang Mansion, and returned to his own house in the West Cross Courtyard.
After Mrs. Du knew that Zhong Hao was going to prepare for the scientific examination, she specially sent him two clever little maids to serve him, so that he could prepare for the exam with peace of mind.
The two little maids also brought Zhong Hao a lot of scriptures, poetry anthologies and collections of current literature.
Mrs. Du also specially asked the two little maids to tell Zhong Hao, let Zhong Hao see what books were still missing, and let the little maids go to the library to get them. Although the Yang family is a family of Jiangmen, there are a lot of books in the library pavilion.
To be honest, Zhong Hao was really at a loss for this preparation. Since leaving Qingzhou for Hexi, he hasn't read a book for more than two years. In the past two years, I have been rolling in the ranks, where is I in the mood to read those scriptures.
Since at this time, Jinshike needs to "try one poem, one poem, one comment, five strategies, ten posts of the "Analects", and ten articles of "Spring and Autumn" or "The Book of Rites", Zhong Hao felt that the "Analects", "Spring and Autumn", and "The Book of Rites" should at least be memorized.
However, even if the total number of words in "Analects", "Spring and Autumn", and "Book of Rites" is only 50,000 or 60,000 words, Zhong Hao feels that it is still a difficult task for him to complete, after all, there are less than two months before the start of the exam. If you want to memorize these three scriptures, you can easily fill in these ten posts and ten ink meanings, I'm afraid it's very difficult.
In fact, when Deacon Yuan was in Songlin Academy, when no one assigned homework to their classmates in the Frank Hall, he often assigned them according to the content of the scientific examination. Poems, fu, treatises, strategies, plus the scriptures and Moyi, Zhong Hao has also done them.
Well, it's just that Deacon Yuan finished his homework at that time, and it was all done in ten years. Zhong Hao went home to do those posters and ink meanings, naturally they were all open, and they were found and filled in from the scriptures. If this "locked hall test" is used, it is naturally impossible for him to open the book.
To be honest, Zhong Hao actually doesn't think it's difficult to discuss peace policies. It's nothing more than an argumentative essay in literary language, and I have more than a thousand years of knowledge than the current candidates, so I should be able to write something better than them.
However, this poem requires the limitation of rhythm and rhyme, which is definitely a challenge for Zhong Hao. If he does it himself, I'm afraid that he can only make a rhyme at most, and if he wants to be brilliant, I'm afraid it is absolutely impossible.
Of course, although this posting and Moyi are the easiest for others, they are the most difficult for Zhong Hao. Because of those few scriptures, he didn't memorize them at all.
Alas, although Zhong Hao has the heart to try his luck in this "lock hall test", but now it seems that there is really little hope!
