Chapter 179: It's more than arrogance

Then let's wave, life has to go on. The mess of the country is handed over to oneself, and he can't always be like a robot, always dealing with endless government affairs.

Although sometimes Li Ji also feels that the feeling of handling government affairs is also very refreshing. There is a thrill of mastering the world, life and death.

When it should be a wave, Li Ji walked out of the palace with a glass mirror.

The big-mouthed Bafu offended him and could only stay in the palace to look after the family.

Emerald Lane is getting more and more lively, and the open curfew has made the night market in Luoyang City more prosperous than ever.

Tea houses, restaurants, wind and snow, everywhere singing and dancing.

Li Ji was surprised to find that there were sporadic Hu people stationed in Luoyang. Although it is not much, this is a good phenomenon, indicating that the situation of the prosperous Tang Dynasty is not a dream.

Although it is too early to say this, Li believes that one day the capital of the Tang Dynasty will become the world's economic and cultural exchange center.

When passing by the glasses shop, Li Ji did not find the figure of the loser. He knew that this guy must go to have a tryst with Du Fangying.

In the middle of summer, there is a hint of sweetness in the air of Luoyang City, the taste of love.

Li Ji is in spring.

Zhang Wanxi, like all girls in love, looked a little angry after being missed again.

But she's easy to coax, just as coaxed as a child. Because Li Ji is the emperor and the Son of Heaven, she didn't dare to be too presumptuous, she just pouted.

"I'm sorry, girl. Yesterday there were too many things in the palace to come and chat with you. ”

Zhang Wanxi just said lightly: "Brother Ji is so busy, of course he has to focus on the affairs of the palace, it's okay."

said that it didn't matter, but the small mouth that pouted betrayed the dissatisfaction in her heart.

This needs to be coaxed, Li Ji took out the one from his arms, huh? ……

Li Ji took out the silver mirror from his arms, it is the nature of every woman to love beauty, Zhang Wanxi was completely stunned when she saw this silver mirror.

In this day and age, a silver mirror, like a diamond of a pigeon's egg, can make a girl defenseless.

So Zhang Wanxi, who was already powerless, had completely forgotten yesterday's unhappiness. Some are just surprises, magnified surprises, and doubled surprises.

It's a pity that the sword mending man is not there, otherwise there will be another sentence: This is specially made for you by His Majesty after spending an afternoon.

"This is what the master has spent a whole afternoon doing for you, Miss Wanxi. For the sake of this mirror, the owner did not rest all afternoon. ”

Li Ji turned around in surprise, the one who said this turned out to be promising, when will he learn to be a sword man?

In fact, Youwei saw it very clearly, when Fuquan said this before, it seemed that the emperor was very angry, but he actually liked it very much in his heart. Fuquan said what Li Ji wanted the other party to know, but he couldn't say.

Therefore, there is a mending knife.

Sure enough, Zhang Wanxi was extremely moved, and her watery eyes were shining with crystal things.

Zhang Wanxi looked at Li Ji with affection, her eyes full of love. Li Ji's heart beat faster, and he couldn't resist this affectionate look.

There is a strange magic in her eyes that melts away all the gloom of the world. Seeing these eyes, Li Ji's heart will be quiet, and he feels that the world is bright.

Silver mirrors, things that can print the world in front of you clearly, I don't know how many times clearer than those yellowed and blurred bronze mirrors.

When Zhang Wanxi took it out, it immediately attracted the attention of countless people around her.

Someone tentatively asked, "Girl, where did you buy this?"

Li Ji pointed out: "Zhu Ergongzi's glasses shop, everyone go quickly, it's gone when it's late."

With a 'boom', the crowd immediately dispersed and rushed to Zhu Youneng's glasses shop.

Li Ji hurriedly took Zhang Wanxi's hand and ran, and a few enemies behind him hurriedly and quietly followed.

Since the curfew was lifted, many dignitaries have become nocturnal animals. Every time I come, I have to play until late at night, and then I don't get up until the next day when I have three strokes in the sun.

Luoyang City also gradually had supper, the ancients were two meals a day, and the rich began to eat three meals a day.

There are many restaurants, and Li Ji chose a location near the window.

The competition was fierce, and the restaurant owner gritted his teeth and spent a huge amount of money to replace the hall with glass doors and windows.

This should be the most luxurious restaurant in Luoyang City, come to Fengju.

Of course, the people who can come here to spend are either rich or expensive. The boss is quite business-minded, and instead of using a manservant, he hired a few orchid rights as shop juniors.

Orchids are as beautiful as flowers, and many people have only read them in books, so Laifengju has become a place where dignitaries and dignitaries flock to it.

The shopkeeper who came to Fengju was not the real boss, and he didn't know whose name this restaurant was. He only knew that last month, the restaurant changed hands, and the owner never showed up.

"You all have something good to eat here, just bring it to you." Li Ji asked after he sat down.

An orchid floated in with a smile on her face: "Wait a minute, guest officer, we have lamb soup, roasted roasted roe deer, roasted deer legs, carp boiled cabbage, ......"

There was no cooking technology in the Tang Dynasty, and Li Ji really didn't have much appetite for these foods: "One for each of them."

"Wait a minute, the slave family will go and order the cook to make it, I don't know what kind of wine the guest officer wants?"

Li Ji looked at Zhang Wanxi: "Miss Wanxi, what kind of wine do you like?"

"Let's have wine, then." Zhang Wanxi looked at Hu Ji and said.

Tang Dynasty wine is sweet, because Tang Dynasty wine, limited by the brewing process, is generally not high.

There was no way, the distillation method was not invented until the Song and Yuan dynasties after the Tang Dynasty. At that time, sake brewing was mainly made by natural fermentation of koji and then grains – more like modern rice wine.

The Tang Dynasty was open, and not only men drank, but also women generally drank.

Zhang Wanxi actually doesn't drink alcohol, so she had to ask for some wine in order to cheer up Li Ji.

Coming to Fengju is worthy of being a big blood. The wine glass turned out to be a glassware, which is the feeling of the so-called glow-in-the-dark glass of grape wine.

The dish came up quickly, Zhang Wanxi didn't move the chopsticks after eating a few bites, and her cheeks flushed after drinking a few glasses of wine, which made it even more gorgeous.

The drunkenness of a Datang woman is even more of a beauty. Tang Ming Emperor Li Longji especially admired the beauty of Yang Yuhuan's drunken rhyme and residual makeup, and often jokingly called the drunken concubine "the concubine is drunk, it is the begonia that has not slept enough." ”

At that time, when women put on makeup, they also liked to apply two pieces of red marital fat on their faces, which was a very popular makeup method at that time, called "wine smudge makeup". In recent years, the popular "sunburn makeup" in Hong Kong, Taiwan and coastal cities is the "wine smudge makeup" of women in the Tang Dynasty more than 1,000 years ago.

Looking at Zhang Wanxi, who was slightly drunk, Li Ji deeply understood how Li Longji doted on Yang Guifei back then.

"What are you doing in a daze, Lao Tzu paid you to work, not to let you be lazy!" With a shout of rage, the orchids hurried to get busy.

Li Ji beckoned, called over an orchid and asked, "What's the matter?"

That orchid was lethargic and sluggish. About thirty years old, but still charming, she sighed: "Don't hide it from the guest officer, we were all sold here to live as slaves." This Fengju is open all night, we serve customers during the day, and we have to entertain at night. I can only sleep for two or three hours a day, and my body really can't stand it, so I am sleepy and neglect the guest official slave family to die. ”

Li Ji was slightly surprised, he didn't expect that these orchids were actually sold, he thought that the Hu people admired the prosperity of Luoyang and came to do business like the Tang Dynasty.

As everyone knows, wars are frequent in troubled times, and the life of the Hu people is not easy. There was also a constant war between them, and some people came up with the idea of selling orchids to the capital.

"Where's your Langjun?" Zhang Wanxi next to her saw her dressed as a young woman, so she asked.

Who knew that the young woman cried: "The slave family was originally a Tatar from Monan, and Lang Jun died in the war, and the slave family was sold from Jinyang to Luoyang City. The sisters here are all from Jinyang, and it has been five years now. ”

Li Ji was taken aback, Li Keyong had recruited tens of thousands of Tatars from Monan to serve as his army to fight a decisive battle with the Huangchao rebellion, so these women should be Tatar family dependents.

Li Ke is ruthless enough, these women's husbands died in battle, and these orchids have no use value, and they are all sold here.

"What's your name?" Li Ji asked.

The orchid cried: "Back to the guest officer, the slave family is called Da Duo'er."

"Da Duo'er," Li Ji nodded, "Go and call your shopkeeper."

"Guest officer, what do you need?" When the shopkeeper saw Li Ji, he left and changed his face, nodded and bowed.

"What's your name, but the boss here?" Li Ji asked.

The shopkeeper accompanied the smiling face: "The villain Huang Tao is just the shopkeeper of this restaurant, not the boss here."

Li Ji waved his hand: "Shopkeeper Huang, go and your boss will call you."

"Don't hide it from the guest officer, this restaurant was bought by our boss last month, and the villain still doesn't know who this boss is, let alone meet."

Li Ji was also very strange, what kind of mysterious person this boss was, he didn't even know the shopkeeper.

Li Ji slapped the table: "This old man doesn't care, you squeeze these orchids and don't let them rest." Lao Tzu doesn't like you and wants to find your boss to theorize! ”

This restaurant is really too deceitful, and it makes these orchids work day and night, which is simply inhumane. Li Ji thought it would be a big deal to buy this place, anyway, what Lao Tzu has now is money.

This is to meddle in the business, the shopkeeper sneered, slapped his face, and then a few thugs walked in the back kitchen: "The guest officer has used the wine well, if you come to find fault, you are in the wrong place!"

Zhang Wanxi was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she gently tugged at the corner of Li Ji's clothes.

Li Ji hadn't been so arrogant for a long time, and he was eager to try the feeling of pretending to be forced. He sneered, and snapped his fingers.

With a 'hula' sound, a group of people broke into the door. Unlike the bare-handed thugs of the Huang shopkeeper, these people have knives in their hands. It's not just arrogance, it's just arrogance!

The big blade in the hand of Zhang Mao, a guard in disguise, was on the neck of the Huang shopkeeper, and the Huang shopkeeper was immediately frightened.
