Chapter 247: Three Days of Drinking

In the history, in December of the 14th year of Zhenguan, Hou Jun captured the king of Gaochang to dedicate and give three days.

You can't go wrong. Hou Junji led the army to destroy the country of Gaochang and dedicated the king of Gaochang to the emperor. It is not surprising that Emperor Taizong gave him the honor of three days.

Drink, gather the crowd to drink. According to the Han law, if more than three people gather to drink in a group for no reason, they will be fined four taels. Everyone knows that alcohol can be chaotic and provoke right and wrong, and if you gather to drink again, then uncontrollable things will emerge one after another.

Although there is no clear regulation on this in the Tang Dynasty, the implementation of the ban in large cities with concentrated populations also has the same meaning.

In Chang'an City, there are gates between each street and square area, and there is a special person in charge to close the gate at night, and there is a square to check it. Not to mention gathering a crowd to drink, if you don't return to your residence when the time comes, it is indispensable to ask the sergeants patrolling the street to catch you on the street.

Therefore, the reward of giving three days of drinking seems light, but in fact, it is not only a great honor for the Houjunji, but also a grand festival for the people of Chang'an City.

The emperor rewarded the emperor with a collection of booze, and there was no restriction on the time, the number of people who could drink, or the place of booze within three days. In this way, the perennial Xiao Ban will not be forbidden, otherwise it will be a violation of the will.

Chang'an City is only in the fourteenth, fifteenth, sixteenth three days of the Yuanxiao Festival every year, the door is not closed all night, the east market and the west market are open all night, everywhere visitors are weaving, the lights are bright.

The emperor gave drunk, although it is not the Yuanxiao Festival, but such days are rare. Coupled with the Yuanxiao Festival that will come soon, people have more tangible joy for the Tang Dynasty to conquer Gaochang Kingdom. How could the people in Chang'an City not borrow General Hou's light to play on the streets?

Liu Yuru was twenty-three years old that year, which was the age of playfulness.

Hou Junji went to Gaochang for many years, and her daily life was very boring. At the moment, she did not feel too strong about the honor of the emperor and the Marquis of Lin's mansion, and this honor was far less real for a woman of her age than running out and having fun for three days.

So she arranged her seven-year-old son Hou Wushuang to be a servant in the family, and only brought two maids and two servants to the street.

They came out of the house at noon, walked and played in the city with great interest, went around to the south of the city in half a day, and skated on the ice by the Qujiang Pond, watched the juggling at the edge of the Hibiscus Garden, the sky was already dark, but the tourists were not missing at all.

Seeing that the time was not early, Liu Yuru thought of the children at home, so she said to go back. So the five masters and servants walked back from Qujiangchi, they walked north through the street east of Qinglongfang, Liu Yuru meant that they had to go all the way north to Dongshi to buy some more things, and then detour from Xuanyangfang back to the Hou Mansion in Yongningfang.

She bought something in the East Market, and the two maids also held up the two sugar men brought to the young son Hou Wushuang, and the servants carried the fruit in their hands. Liu Yu came out to play, deliberately did not sit in a sedan chair, and the group walked back on the street.

The pedestrians in the street were shoulder to shoulder, and the two servants looked after them, one after the other, and they did not dare to let the young Duchess Hou be touched.

But at this time, a gorgeous small sedan chair was lifted from the opposite Chongyifang Street, the sedan chair man was in general, the pace was neat and hurried, and two girls were walking on the side of the sedan chair, as if they were in a hurry to go to Dongshi.

Four or five sturdy men waved their whips to clear the way in front of them, and drank in their mouths, "Get out of the way!" Don't get in the way of the young lady of Gaofu! Shouting and shouting, he volleyed his whip in the air, and some of the pedestrians who were slow to hide were pushed aside by them.

The servant hurriedly covered Mrs. Liu and the maids to the side, but the person on the other side had already come to the front and pushed a pedestrian who had no time to dodge out.

The man stood unsteadily, took a few steps back, and bumped into Liu Yuru's maid ring, and the candy figure in her hand fell to the ground, shattering on the street in the somewhat clear night wind.

The servant cried out, "How you walked, and hit everyone!" "Who will the servants of the Hou Mansion be afraid of? And besides, who brought you these three days of indulgence? When he saw that the maid in his house was suffering, how could he stop?

Liu Yuru said in a low voice, "You don't have much to do, it's important for us to go home." The servant did not squeak, but when he looked at the broken sugar man on the ground, he was still uneasy.

But the family who pushed people didn't do it, and he was a little uneasy when he pushed people. But looking at the five people opposite, three women and two men, they didn't even have a sedan chair, and they were only a medium household at best, so they had the idea of looking down on them.

After listening to the questioning here, the housekeeper whipped the whip in his hand and shouted at the servant, "It's you who don't have long eyes, but blame me!" Do you know who we are? Have you heard of Xinglufang Gaofu? ”

Another family member pointed to the sedan chair and asked, "It's the young lady of Gaofu sitting here, you shocked the young lady of my family, I don't blame you, you are very powerful, don't get out of here!" ”

I only heard a young woman in the sedan chair say, "We are going to Dongshi, and we are not looking for people to be unlucky, spare them, we need to hurry." When the family heard this, he bowed down across the sedan chair, turned around and shouted at the servant, "Our young lady has spared you, get out of here." ”

Liu Yuru's servant behind him had also come up, and when he heard this, he stepped forward and crossed the sedan chair, and said angrily, "No matter who you are, if you don't give us an explanation today, no one will want to go over from now on!" "Where have the pedestrians on the street seen this scene, they have gathered to watch.

The woman in the sedan chair said, "It's not too early, who is so bold and doesn't drive away from me." ”

When the servants got the word, they all rushed up at once, and the servant who had stood in the way threw him at the side of the road, and threw him heavily at the feet of the pedestrians. Another companion saw it and scolded, "Is our Hou Mansion easy to mess with?" He rushed up again to block it, and he had already received a few more whips on his body.

Liu Yuru was so frightened by this scene that she lost her face, and her hand grabbed a girl ring tightly, and she forgot to say anything.

The servant who had been thrown to the side of the street had just gotten up and was about to step forward to help, when he suddenly saw the door of the store open on the side of the road, and dozens of people were drinking heartily inside. He heard the laughter of one of them, got up and rushed in and shouted, "Sir, someone is bullying Madame!" ”

The people in the shop were in a commotion, the wine glasses were clattering, and the servants were silent for a while, and in a moment there was a sound of knocking down tables and chairs, and chopsticks falling to the ground, and people stood up crookedly, and looked at a tall man who stood up from the upright.

This man's face was stunned, as if he hadn't even shaved his beard when he came back from the front, and after listening to the servant's words, he glared at the servant with big eyes, "Okay...... Hello there...... Dog four, what nonsense? Who would dare to bully Madame? ”

The servant pointed to the door and stammered anxiously, "Just outside, Hou Wu has already been beaten, and I was also thrown into the store." Madame is out there! ”

People poured out of the store in a swarm, and saw that Hou Wu was already rolling on the ground and being whipped for an unknown number of times, and with the toe of his boot kicked on his body, he was holding his head on the ground to dodge.

Liu Yuru's face had changed, and she had the intention to let Yahuan step forward and pull it away, but Yahuan was too frightened to move. She saw the leader of the people who came out of the store, and said in a trembling voice, "Grandpa, come and pull it away!" (To be continued.) )
