Chapter 1026: A Strange Half-Time Wedding (Part I)

Seeing Pan Dalin's embarrassment, Zhao Xing felt incredible.

It is said that a hotel owner, no matter how depressed he is, will not make people force debts so hard. But it is this experience that illustrates the remoteness of Huangzhou - he continued to sell wine in Huangzhou for a living, but the consumer market in Huangzhou is not large, and since the famous "Pan Sheng Wine" cannot enable him to support his family, you can imagine how desolate Huangzhou is.

It is said that the poems written by Pan Dalin are magnificent, but unfortunately most of the poems are not seen by later generations. Later, he lived in seclusion in Pugu, Bizhou (now Bin County, Shaanxi), and called himself "Pi Lao". During the Daguan period of Huizong, he embarked on the road back to his hometown, and died in Qichun halfway, at the age of 50 (he wrote two volumes of "Keshan Collection" before his death, which is now gone).

Pan Dalin can be said to be the most fanatical star chaser in the Song Dynasty, he cut back on food and clothing, saved money and traveled to famous poets, and as a result, he died of poverty...... But he didn't realize that he was also one of the loudest voices of this era.

Only a few of Pan Dalin's poems have survived. And this sentence "the city is full of wind and rain is close to Chongyang" is the loudest voice. Later generations have simulated his mood to continue to write, the most famous is his friend Fang Yue wrote "There are nine days in the road of sad memories of Pan Wei's old sentence": "The city is full of wind and rain near Chongyang, and the chrysanthemum at the foot of the city is yellow." It's another place in the south of the Yangtze River, and the smoke and cold blowing geese can't go. ”

Other than that, the rest are dog-tailed minks.

Zhao Xing knew that Pan Dalin was not because he was also selling wine in Huangzhou. He had long known that the capacity of the Huangzhou market was limited, so he opened up a trade route to Fuzhou without stopping. Looking at Pan Dalin now, he can't help but be lucky for his wisdom.

This is the first time that the two wine merchants in the same city have met - Zhao Xing's family was moved by others, so he naturally didn't know about Pan Dalin's existence, but he knew the phrase "the city is full of wind and rain and is close to Chongyang", which is enough.

The same people don't have the same fate. Seeing Zhao Xing solemnly greet Pan Dalin again, among those officials, others didn't know that Zhao Xing was rich, and Huangzhou Liquor Supervisor Le Jing knew that he had the heart to help Pan Dalin, so he held the wine glass - Zhao Xing's wine, and suggested: "I heard that you made a bet with Zizhan and lost half a boat of wine, why don't you make a bet with Dalin, how about it?" ”

"Don't gamble", Zhao Xing refused quickly: "Since I made a bet with my teacher, I will lose every time I gamble, so I vowed not to gamble for life." ”

Le Jing sighed: "It's a pity! ”

This sigh doesn't know if it's for Pan Dalin or for himself.

In a blink of an eye, he remembered another thing, and hurriedly advised: "Leave people, the year-end liquor tax will be settled, you come to my office in a few days and settle the liquor tax." ”

Zhao Xing's heart jumped.

Year-end? Could it be that the Song people also fell into a group of enterprises at the end of the year and earned a generous year-end bonus; Re-"industrial and commercial registration" in the coming year; Another "wise" hobby to earn a "good start"?

Su Shi turned the topic to the banquet and interrupted Zhao Xing's thoughts: "Hey, the criminal official lives in Huangzhou, and he didn't want to do anything, but fortunately he was left to take care of it...... Come on, it's getting late, let's get started. ”

Zhao Xing sent a hundred gifts in advance, because he was a protégé and the same generation as Su Dun, and he had no right to participate in such an occasion, so he hurriedly pulled Su Mai out and cooked for the guests. Now, the excitement of Baihui has nothing to do with him. It wasn't until everyone said goodbye that he jumped out, took Pan Da's hand, and made an appointment to visit the day after tomorrow.

The child's hundred gifts were set up on the bed, and the things sent by Zhao Xing were also counted on it. Su Dongpo made a rough estimate, except for the toys, which are not easy to estimate, the rest of these gifts are worth about 3,000 yuan...... However, when he saw the Japanese sword that Su Mai had brought, he raised the estimate by a large margin.

Su Shi had seen Japanese swords, from his teacher Ouyang Xiu. The sword obtained by Su Mai still retains the style of the Tang horizontal knife, the blade is relatively straight, and the arc is not obvious. However, the set of knives that Zhao Xing gave to Su Mai has obviously been modified, and the handle has been replaced with a European knight's sword style with a hand guard, which makes the center of gravity of the knife more conducive to mastering.

A pair of knives is worth 100 gold, and the knives sent by Zhao Xing are of the highest quality, and they are all printed with juhua patterns.

Su Shi is erudite, he knows that the juhua pattern is the pattern of the royal family of the Wa Kingdom, which shows that this batch of swords is forged for the royal family of the Wa Kingdom, and it is the best quality of the Wa swords - imperial knives.

In fact, this batch of swords is the so-called "Kikuichi Script", and when the blade is polished, twelve ju-flower patterns appear on it.

In a few decades, the new Emperor of the Wa Kingdom invited the famous craftsman of the country of Bizen, Norimune, and others to forge swords for the imperial family, and because the quality of these swords was better than before, they were specially allowed to forge sixteen petals of chrysanthemum patterns on the swords - this is one of the ten famous swords in Japan: "Kikuichi Script Norimune". The suffix "Norimune" stands for swordsmith, and from then on, Japanese swordsmiths could name their forged swords.

This gift was too heavy, and only five long knives were worth more than five hundred gold. Su Dongpo decided to remind Zhao Xing, but Zhao Xing seemed to be prepared, and he preemptively introduced: "Teacher, I haven't told you yet—these gifts are rewarded by the Wa King." I took the poems written by my teacher and printed them on a plate and presented them to the king and his ministers, and I received some rewards by the way.

The country was poor, and some gifts were not distinctive, except for the sword that was some pearls, and so was the beads. I resold the rest in Quanzhou...... Bachelor, from now on, you don't have to worry about money anymore, just howling the wind and drinking the moon, as long as the poems continue, leave the money problem to me.

I brought 3,000 taels of gold this time, and if the bachelor needs it, I can still take out 3,000 taels at the end of the year, and put the rest of the money into operation. I estimate that the annual cost of 10,000 yuan is not a problem. ”

What is Wanguan furniture equivalent in the Song Dynasty? At least the equivalent of multimillionaires now.

It is said that Su Dongpo also brought a sum of money when he came to Huangzhou, and Mrs. Wang thought that she should live within her means, so she divided the money into 12 parts, and each part was divided into 30 small money bags, and the small money bags were hung on the beams.

A year has passed, Su Dongpo has stopped cooking, and now it is the fourth year that he has lived in Huangzhou.

This money came too timely, hearing that this money was exchanged for his own poems, and Zhao Xing still left some of it, Su Dongpo was no longer polite, he calmly ordered the children to carry the cage box into his room. After hesitating, he ordered Su Mai to send two gold bars to Pan Dalin in front of Zhao Xing.

Su Shi is always so bold, his situation has changed, so he thinks of helping his friends, which is also the reason why although his income is high, he has not accumulated money. Mrs. Wang didn't stop this, she glanced at Zhao Xing, and said: "Junfu, I'm afraid I don't need to worry about the officials, I think there will be a deep meaning when I leave someone to visit each other." ”
