Chapter 60: The Wine-Stained Man
"Absolutely amazing!" Li Xianyuan swore and said, "Last night in Pingkangfang, there was a strange person who spent a lot of money to support Zhang Miao, but he sat with her all night...... Backgammon! You, you say, how incompetent, how boring, how shameless that man must be! β
"Then how do you know the Dao?" Xue Shaozhi shook his head, this thing is really drunk, I thought it was a big deal! Zhang Miao? Isn't it the woman I blasted out not long ago, it seems that she has returned to Chang'an to resume her old business!
"How could Xiao Sheng not know the Dao?" Li Xianyuan's eyes widened, filled with righteous indignation, "Xiao Sheng sat sideways next to the chess table of the two of them, and watched it alive all night!" β
"You're more boring!" Xue Shao scolded angrily.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Li Xianyuan smirked, "Xiao Sheng can't hate it, just that person said, Zhang Miao is just an abandoned woman of Lantian Gongzi!" β¦β¦ So the man almost went crazy, and he had to come to visit the famous Lantian Gongzi! β
"You're too bored, aren't you, why do you still recruit me with such a business?" Xue Shao hated it so much that he really wanted to strangle this wine bag and rice bag to death.
"Hey, hey, hey! Brother Xue, Brother Xue, you have had a relationship with him in the past, otherwise how would Xiaosheng dare to recruit him? He'sβHe's already here, and he's just been following! Li Xianyuan pointed to the back, but there was no one, "Yo?" Could it be that he was so drunk that he fell off the horse in the middle of the road? β¦β¦ Brother Xue, quickly, quickly send someone to find him, don't let him be bitten by wild dogs! β
"......" Xue Shao was speechless, and waved his hand to tell the two servants to hurry up and look for it. I regret it in my heart, I really shouldn't have recruited this wine bag and rice bag into the house to do some feng shui renovation project. It's good now, and it's hard to get rid of the life circle of the squirrel, and now it's stuck like kraft candy again.
Li Xianyuan was carried away by two strong male servants, Xue Shao asked them to throw Li Xianyuan into the bath, wash him fiercely, sober him up, and then change his clothes so that he could sleep well.
Since it was a "guest" visiting, it was inconvenient for Xue Shao to go out. He asked Yuenu to take the demon to the willow forest of the Hibiscus Garden first, and supervised her to extract and recite the secret code of Lantian well.
After waiting for a while, the two servants who had gone out to look for people came back and brought back a horse, and on the saddle was a scholar dressed in a scholar's robe, who was snoring loudly.
"Get him down and carry him to deal with Li Xianyuan together." Xue Shao shook his head so much that he was so smoked by the smell of wine on his body that he didn't bother to step forward to see which way it was.
The man woke up after being taken off the horse, glanced at Xue Shao with loose sleepy eyes, pushed the servant away with both hands, moved a sword hanging from his waist to the left and right, straightened his clothes, and bowed down at Xue Shao, "Wu Xing Yao Yuanchong, I have seen Xue Gongzi." β
Yao Yuanchong fell down without standing firmly. The servants on the left and right hurriedly lifted him up.
"Yao Yuanchong?" Xue Shao couldn't help but move in his heart, and took a few steps forward to see the truth, good guy, this is all bruised and swollen, and there is a lot of mud on his face. With his current appearance, not to mention a "acquaintance" who is just a one-sided relationship, I am afraid that even his own mother will not recognize him at once.
"Why, what, Xue Gongzi is really a noble and forgetful, so he doesn't remember Yao?" Yao Yuanchong staggered and stood unsteadily, "Three months ago, Yao Mou and Xue Gongzi were drunk together in Pingkangfang, and when they woke up, Gongzi's face was still covered with a woman's belly pocket!" β
"Okay, don't talk about it." Xue Shao hurriedly stepped forward to stabilize him, and if he didn't hold him steady, he was about to fall down again, and shook his head with a wry smile, "If there is anything, let's talk about it after sobering up!" - Come on, help him to bathe and rest, so that he can live and serve! β
"Yes, Childe." The two servants carried Yao Yuanchong from side to side, his head drooped, and he snored again.
"It's got to be a lot of drink!" Xue Shaozhi shook his head.
But Yao Yuanchong really made Xue Shao's heart light up!
Yao Yuanchong claimed to be a native of Wuxing, which was a well-known county. Wuxing Yao is a descendant of Emperor Shun, and produced many famous ministers and generals during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Although the Wuxing Yao clan is far inferior to the Fenyin Xue clan and the Wenxi Pei clan now, the Wuxing Yao clan in history reached its peak in the Tang Dynasty because of a famous prime minister - Yao Chong.
Yao Chong in history, his original name was Yao Yuanchong. In the first year of Tang Xuanzong, in order to avoid the name of the year, he changed his name to Yao Chong.
Historically, from the end of Wu Zetian to the reign of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Yao Yuanchong was an extremely important role, especially to the most glorious era in the history of the Tang Dynasty, "Kaiyuan Prosperous Era", which has made indelible contributions, and is known as the "Prime Minister of the Saving Time".
Later generations have said that in the three hundred years of the Tang Dynasty, "the former was called Fang Du, and the latter was called Yao Song", Fang Du refers to the Zhenguan famous ministers Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, and the latter refers to the Kaiyuan famous ministers Yao Chong and Song Jun!
However, the historical Yao Yuanchong is a late-blooming character.
Just like Xue Shao saw him today, he was not a Confucian celebrity like Xue Yuanchao, who was upright when he was a child. When he was young, although Yao Yuanchong was also talented and learned, he loved to practice martial arts more, because he was born in a family of military generals. In addition, like most young gentlemen, fine wine and beautiful women are his favorites, and it is common to get drunk and lie on the flowers.
Otherwise, how could he have a "one-sided relationship" with Lantian Gongzi?
Later, Xue Shao stayed in the mansion and took care of it for a while, until the two wine-colored men all fell asleep like dead pigs, and then went to the willow forest of Furong Garden.
Walking nearby, Xue Shao heard the sound of a wooden fish "dong dong", and raised his eyes to see that Yue Nu was looking at the code book while holding a small wooden fish and knocking there. The demon was three or four meters away with his back to the moon slave, and listened there.
"Oops, I knocked it wrong, do it again, do it again!" The moon slave shouted.
"Hee-hee, Sister Yuenu, you're so stupid!" The demon laughed weirdly.
"Stinky girl, be careful that I tear your broken mouth, listen attentively!" The moon slave knocked again.
Xue Shao couldn't help but feel funny, the two of them really practiced code listening and translation, so they also stopped and listened together.
Because it is a simplified Morse code, there is no distinction between long and short tones. Yue Nu knocked seriously, although it was a little slower, but Xue Shao could probably understand it even if he was a little farther away. She typed five words, and typed them many times over and over again - the demon is a nerd.
"Sister Yuenu is a nerd!" The demon giggled and shouted.
"Stinky girl, see if I don't hit you!" The moon slave threw the wooden fish and went to chase the demon, and the demon ran around the woods with a big giggle.
Xue Shao walked over with a smile and picked up the little wooden fish, and had to admire and even be amazed, the demon is really a veritable little demon! It's so fast, too fast!
"Brother Fairy, help, Sister Yuenu is going to beat me!" The demon ran over with a shout.
"Don't make a fuss, sit down." Xue Shao smiled, "Demon, Yuenu only typed five words just now, but you heard it four or five times before you heard it, it's too slow." β
"Oh...... Then I'll practice hard and hard! The demon nodded in fear, and immediately didn't dare to laugh.
"Moon slave, you must also master this Lantian password!" Xue Shaodao.
"Huh?" When the moon slave heard this, her eyes immediately straightened...... God, why don't you let me go and fight thousands of troops alone!
Xue Shao turned his face flat, "Ah what, I can't learn this thing, do you still have the face to follow me?" β
"Yes, Childe, I must study hard and study hard!" The moon slave had a bitter face, and she wanted to cry.
The demon laughed evilly.
"Stinky girl, schadenfreude!" The moon slave scolded hatefully.
"You'er, don't laugh." Xue Shaozheng said, "Your body is too thin, from tomorrow onwards, get up early every day to practice martial arts with the moon slave to strengthen your body!" β
"Uh......h I know it! The demon's face also became bitter.
Yue Nu's eyebrows danced, "Look at how I fix you!" β
"You two, you must master this set of Lantian secret codes to the most proficient situation, from today onwards, you must practice diligently every day, and you can't pass it on." Xue Shao said, "You must be proficient enough to smoothly transmit and read information by blinking and knocking on the table." Make that code completely imprinted in your head, and you can easily use it without thinking! β
"Yes......"
Xue Shao smiled and said, "Yue Nu, you might as well let the demon use hypnosis for you to enhance your memory of the code." In this way, you may be able to get twice the result with half the effort! β
"Yay!" The demon jumped up happily, "I can play with that silk copper coin again!" β
"What a smug! If you dare to tease me, I'll cry to you when you practice martial arts! The demon rolled her eyes angrily.
"Okay, now let's improve and familiarize ourselves with this set together, Lantian secret code!"
The three of them studied in the willow forest for an hour or two, and the moon slave was already dizzy and felt a little like she was about to vomit, so Xue Shao took the two of them back home.
The two drunks were still asleep, and it seemed that they would not wake up for a while. Xue Shao confessed to the moon slave and asked her to guard the door of the house, and she went to visit Xue Kegou alone.
As a high-ranking official from the Xue family, Xue Kegou himself is also a highly renowned university scholar. Compared with Xue Yuanchao, his official position is much lower, his temperament is much more easy-going, and he has always been popular. Whether it is above the court or within the Xue clan, Xue Kegou is a well-known gentle elder.
Xue Shao first bought two boxes of good tea in the West Market and prepared to present them to Xue Kegou. Although a high-ranking Confucian official like him generally advocates a clean breeze with two sleeves, it is not surprising that many people have a courtesy, and Xue Shao, as a junior of the same clan, is not out of line to send two boxes of tea.
Xue Shao went to find Yu Hongye by the way.
Yu Hongye is taking a few women with outstanding skills to make bras. Hearing that Xue Shao was visiting, he hurriedly greeted him in person.
Xue Shao naturally went to check out Yu Hongye's handicraft workshop, it seems that their work is progressing quite well, and they already have a batch of finished bras of good quality.
"Miss Yu, it's really hard for you. However, I came to you today for something else. Xue Shao said, "I want to ask you to do me a favor." β
"Xue Gongzi has something, just tell him." Yu Hongye bowed his hand.
Xue Shao smiled and said, "I want to ask Miss Yu to bring your set of tea sets and go with me to visit the household servant, Xue Kegou." β
Yu Hongye's first-hand tea art is not bad; And Xue Kegou's biggest hobby is drinking tea.
