Chapter 122: Take the second generation to the restaurant
The days of winter are short, and when Luo Yan and Cui Ying return to Chang'an, the sunset has already half-entered the West Mountain, and the dusk Yangguan pulls out a long shadow of the houses along the street in Chang'an. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info even if the cold wind blew slightly, Luo Yan felt a piercing chill on his body when he got out of the carriage. Fortunately, in order to take care of Luo Yan, Cui Ying also deliberately parked the carriage at the gate of the Lu Mansion, which made Luo Yan suffer a lot less.
Saying goodbye to Cui Ying, watching the carriage go away, stamping his feet and rubbing his hands, Luo Yan returned to his house.
Thinking carefully about these people I knew during the day, I suddenly lost the mood to continue reading. This literary meeting made up by the children of the family, Luo Yan doesn't believe that it is only a momentary success. Including the people invited, in fact, they are very particular.
Like Liu Yiren, who was invited by the Zheng family in Xingyang, he has a close relationship with many high-ranking officials in the court, and many of these are Li Shimin's henchmen. With this relationship, it can be regarded as a show of goodwill to Li Shimin. Not to mention the Cui family, they were basically the imperial party in the past, and they had never seen anyone biased in the battle between Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng, so they urgently needed to get on the line with Li Shimin. The same goes for other families.
Thinking that he still had such a status in the eyes of the Cui family, Luo Yan was also a little complacent. However, when I think of my future plans, I still put away my momentary pride and treat the family's friendship with the most cautious attitude.
On the second day, when Luo Yan returned to Hongwen Hall to teach, he happened to be in the "Disciple Rules", "Seeing people and being good, that is, thinking together, going far, and gradually becoming tall." Seeing people evil, that is, introspection, if there is a change, there is no police. ”
In fact, this is a use of the "Analects" in the "Analects" "see the virtuous and think together, see the unvirtuous and introspect introspectively." and later Zhu Xi's annotation of this sentence.
In the past, when I taught "Thousand Words", there were twenty words a day, and many bear children were not good at learning one by one. However, after seeing Luo Yan's majesty, and also seeing the scene of Yu Chi Baolin cleaning up Cheng Chubi, many bear children didn't dare to play tricks anymore when Luo Yan was teaching.
So even now, Luo Yan teaches twenty-four words at a time, which can properly allow these little guys to study well in a day. Otherwise, even though a month has passed, the professor's progress will not be so fast.
watched the children write the professor's words one by one, and Bachelor Chu Liang, who was on duty next to him, also finished teaching at this time. In the past, the two chatted a few words, looking at the students who were a little lazy after the heavy snow festival, Chu Liang decided to let them go home early to review their homework. After all, it has been a long time since I was teaching today, and it would be unrealistic to let these people continue to read.
When they heard that they didn't need to continue to study their homework, no matter how big or small, they began to smile. Just waited for Chu Liang to leave, and suddenly there was a commotion.
Luo Yan is about to go back, anyway, it's all out of school, it's such a cold day, and he is still staying here, and he is left alone in the empty Hongwen Pavilion, and he has to work with the guards on duty to be tired, how bad.
I was about to raise my feet, but I was stopped by Qu Tuquan: "Brother Luo, I said that you participated in the Wenhui yesterday, and you won't refuse our invitation today, right?" ”
Seeing that behind Qu Tuquan are a group of civil and military disciples of the old Qin Palace, others don't say it, the eldest grandson Chong brothers, Yu Chi Baolin, and even Qu Tuquan There is a small Cheng Chubi standing in front of him, this face can't be ignored. Especially Cheng Chubi's small eyes, it seemed that there was a premeditated plan for Luo Yan to play tricks and distress if he didn't agree, which made Luo Yan have a headache.
Cheng Chubi, this child, if you want to say that everything else is good, it is such a young person, and he learned his old man's tricks. At the beginning, chasing Luo Yan every day, Luo Yan understood what it means to be a little ghost. In the end, Luo Yan thought that if Yu Chi Baolin didn't come out to save him, maybe the little guy would really succeed in the end.
Nodding with a smile, Luo Yan said: "It's time to accept your invitation, I am really sorry that I haven't had a good drink with you after being in Hongwen Hall for so long." ”
"It's boring to say that, let's not get drunk tonight." Qu Tuquan is the most familiar with Luo Yan, so at this time, even if they are the most powerful in terms of their respective fathers and grandsons, it is Qu Tuquan who can speak in front of Luo Yan.
"Then where are we going, although at this time, although the major restaurants have not yet been occupied, but we are also more than a dozen people, no matter how you say it, you have to have a big elegant room." The eldest grandson Chong is a little sober, and the requirements for the table are also very high depending on the number of people, if it is an ordinary restaurant, it is indeed easy to say that it is easy to pack a few private rooms. But today is drinking with Luo Yan, so you can't be too down-grade.
"Why don't you go to Ji Yaxuan, Brother Luo is a fragrant dumpling there, and after I go, it's not easy to get a big private room." A light seemed to flash in Qu Tuquan's head, and he wanted to put Luo Yan in the Qinglou without saying a word.
mentioned that Luo Yan was Ji Yaxuan's fragrant bait, looking at the gossip on everyone's faces, Qu Tuquan started his big mouth, and was about to explain the original mess with excitement.
"Shut up for me, and if you want to talk, wait until the place is set on the wine table. There is still a little ghost head here, do you want to wait for General Cheng to take the soldiers and horses to catch you to his mansion and reward you with a whip. Regarding Qu Tuquan's idea, Luo Yan couldn't wait to go up and kick him twice, but he didn't notice the longing on the faces of Cheng Chubi and the other children.
In the end, it was Luo Yan who made a move.
"It's really not good, let's go to the natural residence, presumably with my face, it won't be a problem to give a private room on the second floor." Luo Yan's idea was finally recognized. The people who naturally live are people with status and status. And with Li Shimin becoming the emperor, this rule is also rising, and non-high-ranking officials and nobles basically can't enter. As for the second generation of the eldest grandson, they put it in for the sake of face, but they were all thrown to the first floor for eating and drinking, and if they wanted to go up to the second floor, they didn't even think about it.
So at this time, when I heard Luo Yan take them to the second floor, I was very happy. There is no one in Chang'an City who watches the dishes like the natural residence, Qu Tuquan and they have eaten a few times on the second floor before, and that treatment has always been in mind. Since being ruthlessly thrown to the first floor, I found that the treatment was much worse, and these second-generation people were not convinced, but they had no choice, and they didn't dare to make trouble.
In a burst of cheers, Luo Yan was surrounded and got into the carriage, and a group of five or six luxuriously decorated cars rushed to the natural residence.
The shopkeeper of the natural residence has been replaced by a former buddy at this time, and as for the original shopkeeper's whereabouts, it is said that Li Shimin gave him a good treatment in private and arranged to do other business. The inner treasury also needs money, so the royal family secretly also runs some industries.
For the big celebrity in front of Li Shimin, the natural residence is naturally very familiar, and when he saw Luo Yan coming in, the shopkeeper greeted him politely: "Hey, it's actually Assistant Teacher Luo, I haven't been here for a few years, but the little one is missing it more and more." I never thought that Assistant Teacher Luo would become more and more handsome and chic, and he was in love, what did you command. ”
"Give me a big room on the second floor, and I'm going to get together with a few people, well, the ones behind me. What is the best dish, just come up. In addition, there are five altars in Lanling for ten years, and three altars for fruit wine this year, so much. Luo Yan was also not polite, and immediately said his request.
The second generation behind Luo Yan basically knows all the shopkeepers. After all, there are only so many second-generation people who can come in and eat with their privileges, and there are several of them who are frequent visitors to the natural residence, of course, all on the first floor. So seeing that these people were gathered so together, the shopkeeper naturally didn't dare to slack off, and instructed a guy to take Luo Yan and them upstairs, and he personally ran to the back kitchen to help Luo Yan order wine and food.
After sitting still, a few plates of hot snacks will come up, of course, this is to let these people cushion their stomachs, and the real big dish is to wait for them to kill a little time before they can come up.
However, the second generation of these things will not touch them, and those who know know that although the dishes of the natural residence are only worse than those in the palace, there are also things that people can't eat, that is, desserts. Why, when the stomach is full, there is no place to stuff the next good dishes. said that it was a cushion for the stomach, but at this time I asked about the fragrance of desserts, and my stomach was getting more and more hungry.
Around a large round table, everyone waited for the dishes to come up.
