The rich teahouse in Yangzhou City, although it is called a teahouse, is actually a good place for literati to gather to eat and drink.

At this time, the Fugui Tea House, there is a BMW incense car parked outside the door, the red light at the door is hanging high, and the hall is full of guests, which is very lively!

In a spacious box on the second floor, there are sumptuous dishes on the table, and there are banquets with laughter and laughter. After three rounds of drinking, the wine strengthened people's courage, and everyone had no scruples about talking, and talked loudly about the affairs of the family and the country, but this is a private room, and outsiders can't hear it.

One of them, a stern old man in official clothes, drank the wine in his glass, looked at the crowd at the banquet, and groaned, "I heard...... The imperial court is ready to fight again......"

Hearing this, another young man in brocade clothes shook his folding fan lightly and said, "Oh, where did Lord Yang hear the news?"

The stern old man sat down and said slowly: "This is the news that the prefect inadvertently revealed to the old man......"

As soon as they heard the words "Lord Prefect", everyone present was shocked and hurriedly asked, "What did Lord Prefect say?"

The stern old man said: "The prefect said that the envoy Tong has mobilized 200,000 troops from Huainan, Jiangnan, Kaifengfu, Liangzhejiang, Guangnan and other roads, together with 100,000 forbidden troops, to go to the border...... Looks like it's really going to be a fight. ”

Everyone here knows that Tong Guan's envoy is Tong Guan. The Privy Council is the highest military yamen, with the right to transfer troops, and Tong Guan, as a eunuch, has been in charge of the power of the world's soldiers and horses for fifteen years, which is unprecedented.

"Good!" A man with a black face and a collapsed nose suddenly stood up and said proudly: "Since the alliance of the Yuanyuan, my dynasty has given 100,000 taels of silver and 200,000 horses of silk to the Khitans every year, and after the second year of Qingli, I have increased 100,000 taels of silver and 100,000 horses of silk. In this way, it is a total of 500,000 silver silk per year! Emperor Taizu of our dynasty was brave in civil and military affairs, and successively set Jingnan, Pinghou Shu, broke the Southern Han Dynasty, took the Southern Tang Dynasty, built the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, carried forward the immortal merits, and vibrated the long-term strategy and the imperial universe, and shocked the four seas. I am a dignified Liang Dynasty, a kingdom above the Heavenly Empire, how can I be bullied by Hu Lu? ”

After speaking, he raised his wine glass, drank it all, threw the glass on the ground, slapped the table and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, if there is really a war one day, Qin Hui will be born later, and I am willing to put pen to paper, contribute to the work of dogs and horses for the country and the court!!"

"Good!" During the banquet, Yang Kui, Lu Bonian and others clapped their hands and praised.

…

At the same time, the Song Mansion ushered in a family banquet.

Today, Song Ting personally cooked, making sauerkraut fish, boiled pork slices, braised fish, stewed chicken soup with old ginseng and other dishes, these dishes have not yet appeared in this era.

"Wow! I really want to eat......" When Song Ting brought the last dish, looking at the table full of bells and whistles, Xiao Man sitting on the table had already moved his index finger and was eager to try.

Eating on weekdays, after all, there is a difference between master and servant, as the maid Xiaoman, Youjian and other four daughters, they do not eat at the same table as Zhao Yuanzhen. Today, the blessing of dragging the horse, not to say that today is a big day, everyone must go to the table together.

Looking at the rich dishes on the table, Qingzhu's eyes lit up. The snow geese rubbed their hands secretly.

Only Youjian stretched out his chopsticks without any rules, stabbed twice at random into the crockpot containing sauerkraut fish, and sighed: "What kind of thing is this, can you eat it?"

"Sister Youjian, you ......" Xiao Man immediately cried with a sad face, very unhappy. I secretly complained in my heart: Good dishes, sprinkled with green onions, how beautiful it is, why do you have to insert two .......

"You'll say it's delicious later." Song Ting snapped his fingers and said quite confidently.

At this time, Zhao Yuanzhen held a white silk handkerchief in her hand and came to wipe his face. Her eyes were gentle and gentle, as if she was happy and angry, and while saying something about "a gentleman is far away from cooking", she gestured gently to wipe away the fumes and black ash brought out of the kitchen on his face.

"Let's eat!" After wiping his face, Song Ting took Zhao Yuanzhen's hand and entered the table, and the four women of Xiaoman, Youjian, Qingzhu, and Snow Goose sat upright, not daring to move the chopsticks first. waited for Zhao Yuanzhen to speak, and only then did he move the chopsticks one by one.

Xiao Man took a piece of fish fillet from the crockpot and stuffed it into his small mouth, and licked his lips after eating: "Wow! It's really delicious! ”

Zhao Yuanzhen's beautiful eyes flashed with suspicion, her father-in-law actually knew how to cook, which was beyond her imagination. As for her father-in-law's cooking skills, she didn't have any hope at all, and even felt that she would be like herself, she couldn't tell the difference between sugar and salt, and stewed chicken porridge could be salty to death......

With doubts, Zhao Yuanzhen held chopsticks in one hand and rolled up his sleeves in the other, carefully sandwiched a piece of fish meat, and then lightly opened the sandalwood mouth, covered it with his sleeves, put the fish fillet elegantly in his mouth, and then slowly squirmed his lips......

The entrance is slippery, a faint fragrance, the fish is very tender and delicious, there is no thorn, and there is a little sour and spicy taste, which makes people want to stop, and they want to eat it.

Suddenly, Zhao Yuanzhen cast an impressive look at Song Ting, and said approvingly: "I can't imagine that Xianggong even knows how to cook......"

"Ugh! Slightly understood! Slightly understood! Eat as much as you want! Song Ting was praised by the princess's wife, and he looked quite complacent.

"Wow, it's delicious!"

"Pretty good!"

"I haven't eaten these dishes before, I'm afraid they are better than those made by the palace kitchen, right?"

"Of course, those dishes in the palace are actually average, how can they compare with the craftsmanship of the horse master!"

Next, the women chattered and feasted at the same time, and in front of the food, they no longer cared about the image of a lady.

At the end of the meal, Youjian, this Nizi, actually carried the crockpot in front of her, stretched out her chopsticks to pull it from the inside, and only some leftovers of the sauerkraut fish that had bottomed out were cold, and she didn't even let go of the last bit of fish bones and ginger shreds......

"Wow, Sister Youjian, didn't you say this thing can't be eaten? Why don't you even let go of fish bones? Xiaoman put down his chopsticks and teased.

Hearing this, Youjian couldn't help blushing, glared at Xiao Man, and snorted: "Isn't it just that you can make fish, what's the big deal...... Although he said this, the chopsticks still didn't mean to stop, and continued to rummage.

"Sister Ghostsword! That's not right for you to say that. The colt not only cooks, but also writes poems, composes songs, tells jokes, and tells stories...... "Xiao Man crossed his fingers like a treasure.

Ghost Sword has nothing to say. She admits that Xiaoman is right.

"By the way, Master Horse, what kind of big day is today?" After Xiao Man finished the confrontation with the Ghost Sword, he turned his face and asked Song Ting.

Song Ting slapped his thigh and shouted, "I really just care about eating!" I forgot to declare that today is a big day! ”

"You're waiting here!" After saying this, Song Ting ran out of the hall door, and he didn't know where to go.

"What are you doing here?" Xiao Man's eyes rolled and asked the women in the banquet.

Zhao Yuanzhen was also puzzled, took two chopsticks in his hand, crossed them, and muttered: "It's so mysterious again, what does he want to do...... Big Day...... What the hell is a big day......"

"What the hell is April 12?"

"It doesn't seem like a holiday ......"

The women looked at each other, all puzzled.

"Could it be ......" Zhao Yuanzhen suddenly exclaimed, and immediately covered her mouth, the corners of her eyebrows and eyes were full of surprise.

At this moment, I only heard a sudden "boom" sound outside, like the sound of firecrackers, Zhao Yuanzhen could no longer hold back her joy, and took the four girls out of the hall door, and saw that there was an artillery cannon on the roof of Beiyuan rising into the sky, exploding in mid-air, and suddenly scattered, raining all over the sky, and forming a "sheng" word in the sky.

Song Ting stood on the roof, leaned over to open the next box, took out a huge meteor cannon in the box, and lit it with a fire fold, "Huh! The artillery rushed up, and after the loud explosion, there were fireworks all over the sky, forming a "day" character.

I clicked two more, and together formed the four words "Happy Birthday", these four words hung high in the air, not dispersed for a long time, and the end was complex and gorgeous, dazzling, and brilliant!!

"Zhen'er, come up?" Song Ting stretched out his hand at the ladder and looked at Zhao Yuanzhen, who was already stunned, with a smile.

Zhao Yuanzhen clicked his head with a "hmm", and then stepped on the horizontal bar on his skirt, Youjian hurriedly went to hold the ladder with one hand, Zhao Yuanzhen went up to the roof, took Song Ting's hand, and carefully stepped on the tiles......

The two stood on the roof, Song Ting put his arm around her waist, she smiled stupidly, and leaned on his shoulder. The two of them held each other and stared at the fireworks in the sky for a long time......

"Ten years is like a dream, and my husband actually gave me a birthday...... Zhen'er was so happy. ”

"So, you haven't had a birthday in ten years."

"Since her mother died, Zhen'er hasn't had a birthday......"

"From now on, I'll give it to you every year."

"Okay."

The two whispered and snuggled up to each other.

…

Lane 47, 9th Street, Yangzhou City, Main Street, Tea House Restaurant, Qinlou Chu Pavilion...... Everyone in the other place couldn't help but look up at the sky when they heard the loud explosion.

When they saw the words "Happy Birthday" composed of fireworks, everyone started to talk about it.

"Who's birthday here? Such a big deal! ”

"Really heroic! I envy that birthday star! ”

"Hey, I really want to have a birthday like this, it's really a lot of attention!"

“……”

Fugui Tea House.

Qin Hui's high-minded remarks had just won the applause of everyone, when he suddenly heard a commotion outside.

Lu Bonian was the first to leave the box and didn't return for a long time, and everyone went out to take a look.

When he saw the four words "Happy Birthday" in the sky that had not been dispersed for a long time, Lu Bonian twitched his cheeks and said enviously: "What a heroism!" Better than me! ”

Qin Hui looked at the sky, and suddenly a burst of heroism rose in his heart: One day, I will be admired by thousands of people like this......

…

There is no feast in the world. The wine banquet of the rich teahouse was dispersed; The atmosphere of the birthday banquet in the Song Mansion also cooled down as the fireworks slowly dissipated.

Li Bo went back to the countryside to deal with the land deed matters, he served the Song Mansion for most of his life, and the Song Mansion naturally would not treat this loyal old servant badly, and successively gave him eighteen acres of Tianzi waterland, and recently he bought two acres of Lizi water land in the countryside.

Although there are still people in Li Bo's family, he is the only one who can handle the purchase and sale of land.

In a blink of an eye, on April 15, Song Ting was going to Yongtai to be a master, Qin Hui went to Yangzhou Academy to teach, and Lu Bonian went to Renzhi County, Qingzhou. It seems to be some kind of coincidence, and in the dark, there is a providential arrangement......
