Chapter Eighty-Four: Fishing in Troubled Waters, Poisonous Needle Hidden III
As soon as the exchange of bad money ended, Su Yeju sent dozens of new bronze mirrors and a few boxes of folding fans to the county lord of Su Ye with great fanfare.
Bronze mirrors www.biquge.info pen fun pavilion are not uncommon, and there are several exquisite mirrors in the homes of Chang'an residents.
But the copper mirror has a fatal flaw, that is, it is very fragile, and if one accidentally falls on the ground, it will be broken into five or six petals, and it can no longer be used.
Su Yeju's bronze mirror also didn't know what changes had been made, in addition to the novel ornamentation and moderate price, it was able to fall to the ground without breaking.
The folding fan is a new thing, and the well-informed people of Chang'an have never seen it.
===Proud of the Nine Heavens Manga /===.
The fans that everyone uses every day, the more expensive ones are embroidered with patterns and silk fans, the almost ones are feather fans, and the second is the pu fan.
Suyeju's folding fan is different from any previous fan, it uses bamboo as the bone, silk or paper as the surface, can be opened and closed.
When it is opened, the cool breeze is full of face, and it can be worn on the body or hidden in the sleeve.
The fan surface is either painted with beautiful landscapes and flowers, or inscribed with the famous sayings of the former sages and the aphorisms of today, which makes people love it.
After receiving the bronze mirror and folding fan sent by Su Yeju, the county lord of Suye immediately selected the most exquisite one and sent it to the palace for the concubine to enjoy and play.
Soon, Colliers sent a small yellow gate to Suyeju to beg for . Purchase of bronze mirrors and folding fans.
When the ladies of Chang'an heard that Su Yeju's bronze mirror and folding fan were deeply loved by the concubines, they immediately flocked to it, almost crowding Su Yeju's storefront.
When the people of Chang'an happily chose the bronze mirror, they did not know that the new copper mirror was actually made of molten copper smelted by bad money.
The Tang mirror is fragile because the tin content is too high, Wang Fei borrowed from the Song Dynasty bronze mirror technology, appropriately increased the zinc content, and transformed the bad money into a rolling source of wealth.
When Wang Yuanbao of Ruyiju learned that the bronze mirror that swept Chang'an by Suyeju was cast from bad money, he regretted it.
At that time, Wang Fei came to visit him and discussed with him about exchanging bad money.
Although Wang Yuanbao did not dare to disobey Li Heng's order, he was unwilling to do the business of losing money, and his face was a little difficult to see, so he took the initiative to propose that since Ruyiju did not have a furnace workshop, Su Yeju was willing to buy the evil money collected by Ruyiju at the ratio of five to one.
Wang Yuanbao didn't expect Wang Fei to be so bold, and his mood was much smoother.
He simply made a favor and decided to sell half of the bad money and give it away at the ratio of seven to one, and handed it all over to Su Yeju.
After the exchange of bad money is completed, the bad money transaction between Su Yeju and Ruyiju is also settled.
Wang Yuanbao thought that Su Yeju had lost a lot, but unexpectedly, Wang Fei turned decay into magic, and found another way to make money, so that he regretted it too late.
After Wang Fei heard about it, he sent someone to send several sets of design drawings of glass products, which made up for Wang Yuanbao's regret.
In the middle of spring, the peach and plum are warm.
On April 21st, a late spring afternoon full of colorful paper kites, the courtyard of Wang Fei's house in Jinchengfang was full of laughter and joy.
In the near future, Du You, a new science and technology jinshi, will go to Tingzhou, and Wang Feite will set up a banquet in the flower pavilion at home to practice for his friends.
Du You's trip was very different from Du Huan's back then.
When Du Huan went to Tingzhou, he was alone, just a man, a horse and a servant.
Du Youxi went all the way with Su Yeju's caravan, and there were more than 100 dart masters to escort him.
The reason why Wang Fei attaches so much importance to Du You's westward trip is not only because of the friendship formed between the two before and after the Jinshi University of Science and Technology, but also because Du You also shoulders the heavy responsibility of escorting Du Huan's family on this trip.
Du Huan was inadvertently implicated in the aftermath of Wei Jian's case, lost his position in Wannian County and his preset career, and had to stay away from Chang'an and go to Qixi to take up a post.
At that time, he was in an embarrassing situation and had no future, so he could only let his wife Wei stay in Chang'an to take care of his mother-in-law.
Later, Du Huan was appreciated by Wang Zhengjian, and his official position rose higher and higher, and he considered taking Gao Tang and his wife to Tingzhou several times, but Du Huan's mother was always worried about the bumpy trip and was unwilling to leave Chang'an, resulting in Du Huan and his wife having to live apart for a long time.
Before Wang Fei came to Chang'an, Du Huan not only asked him to bring a few letters from his family, but also asked Wang Fei if he could try to persuade his mother to settle in Tingzhou.
As soon as Wang Feifu arrived in Chang'an, he and Ayi Tenggena came to visit Webster with a carriage of Tingzhou specialties.
Under the repeated persuasion of Wang Fei and Ayi Tenggena, the old lady was finally convinced that her son had made a difference in the North Court, otherwise how could it be possible to let Xiao Langjun, who was the protector of the family, and a county lord who was enshrined by the imperial court come to the door in person?
After Wang Fei demonstrated the comfort of the four-** carriage and the majesty of the warriors of the dart game, the old lady happily decided to go west in the spring of the next year.
After the release of the list, it happened that Du You was attracted by the extreme western countries depicted in the "Jing Xing Ji", and chose to serve in Beiting, which happened to be responsible for escorting.
Du Huan is also a teacher and friend to Wang Fei.
Therefore, he mobilized a large number of people to ensure that Du Huan's family arrived in Tingzhou safely.
Before leaving, Wang Fei held a luncheon to send off friends, and Du Huan's old mother and wife were invited to the feast.
As a disciple of Du Huan, Ayi Tenggna did not hesitate to serve as the lord of the county, which moved Wei Shi very much.
Wang Yong and Su Sanniang, as Du Huan's friends, naturally attended.
Ashina's sister and brother Gao Xiangui and Zhang Dejia have been more or less taught by Du Huan, although they have no master-apprentice status, they also have some friendship, and they all came according to the appointment and gathered in Wang Fei's house.
The land and water are all available, and the silk and bamboo are leisurely.
The sumptuous singing and dancing of the feast are wonderful, which makes people feel refreshed and forgetful.
After the old lady Du You and Wei Shi and others left, the elated Ashina sisters and brothers and Gao Zhang had no intention of leaving, and shouted to continue the banquet and chat.
When Wang Fei beckoned the servants to continue drinking, he suddenly found that Zhang Dejia's mood was a little low.
He deliberately stepped forward to ask a few words, but Zhang Dejia deduced that he hadn't slept well last night, so he was a little tired.
Wang Fei was about to ask again, but Ashina Wenxia, who had drunk a few glasses of fruit wine and had a flushed face, ran over, pulled his arm and complained that he was favoritism, and the gifts he gave to his sister were many and novel, but what he gave himself was only a few flying knives.
Without waiting for Wang Fei to explain, Ashina Xiaoyun nodded at his sister's forehead and said, "What kind of gift, Brother Fei is using me to help him advertise!" I haven't had time to settle this account with him, and you're messing around again! ”
"Then why didn't Brother Fei come to me to advertise? You are reluctant, I am willing! ”
With a little bit of alcohol, Ashina Wenxia retorted directly.
"Sister Wenxia, strong bows and crossbows are all forbidden by the imperial court, how dare I tell them publicly?"
Wang Fei spread out his hands and smiled bitterly.
"Who said I would only fight and kill! You can say goodbye! ”
Ashina Wenxia did not forgive.
"Send it!"
Wang Fei clapped his hands, and immediately a servant came in with a few wooden boxes.
"The gold peony step ruby ring and polo club are for Sister Xiaoyun; The gold Qingluan step pearl necklace and suede gloves were for Sister Wenxia; The wolf's head and horizontal knife belong to Angdi, and there is a small black steed in the stable, which is also prepared for you; The gold and silver beads of various colors were given to Yiyue; The two brothers were given a stiff bow and a horse. ”
Wang Fei opened the wooden box and introduced them one by one.
"It turns out that Brother Fei has prepared gifts for everyone earlier! Suede gloves are the most to my liking. ”
Ashina Wenxia jumped and jumped happily.
"Drink a little and you're crazy like this!"
Su Sanniang shook her head, loving and hating her apprentice.
"Where there is a teacher, there must be a disciple."
Wang Yong said coldly, so angry that Su Sanniang drew her sword to fight with her husband.
"Brother Fei, why do all three of us have a step shake, but only my sister has a ring?"
After Ashina Wenxia's joy, she suddenly found that the gift prepared by Wang Fei was a bit mysterious.
"Sister Wenxia, you often wield a sword and a crossbow, and it is very inconvenient to wear a ring on your finger."
Wang Fei hurriedly prevaricated: "As for Yiyue......"
"Little lady Wenxia, I don't like to wear ornaments on my hands since I was a child, Xiao Langjun knows."
While lying for Wang Fei, Ayitengna sighed secretly: "Xiao Langjun, you tell me about Harry? Potter mentioned that boys like girls and will give her rings as a token of their life......"
"That's pretty much it."
Ashina Wenxia reluctantly accepted Wang Fei's explanation.
After giving gifts, a group of young talents from the North Court faced the spring light of the court, or debated the political affairs of the court or chatted about the affairs of Chang'an, or threw pots to compete or learn martial arts, and had a lot of fun.
I don't realize that the day is over, but everyone still has no home.
Under the purging of Ashina Wenxia, Wang Fei opened another table of hot pot dinner to entertain everyone, and the house became more and more lively.
When the younger generation was in high spirits, Wang Yong and Su Sanniang never dared to drink too much wine.
Wang Yong knew that Xiao Langjun had fallen into the battle of the Chang'an court, and he might encounter danger at any time, so he must not relax in the slightest.
Although Wang Yong was very satisfied with the progress of Xiao Langjun's sword technique, he never wanted Xiao Langjun to be in danger alone.
Under Wang Yong's careful deployment, Wang Fei's house in Jinchengfang was heavily guarded.
When the drums of the curfew were about to sound, the Ashina siblings and Gao Zhang reluctantly left.
Wang Fei and others sent it outside the door, and Fang waved goodbye.
On the way back to the house from Fangmen, Wang Fei noticed that there were many four-** carriages produced by Suyeju running at high speed on the road in Fangmen, and there were also a few cars parked scattered on the roadside.
He felt a little proud in his heart: "Datang, my little butterfly has finally changed you a little bit......"
After returning to the house, Wang Fei and Wang Yong had not yet crossed the first courtyard, when they saw the housekeeper come to tell them that there were officials from the Hedong Jinju Courtyard who were outside asking to see Wang Bing's envoy.
Wang Yong frowned and complained: "Hedong has been eyeing the fierce oil fire for some reason, and has come to me several times to discuss, trying to buy a large batch, and today I am afraid it is still for this matter." ”
"The fierce oil fire is really remembered. But no matter what, we can't let An Lushan get it. ”
Wang Fei cut the railway.
"Xiao Langjun don't worry, I will refuse him here."
Wang Yong knows Wang Fei's mind very well.
Before the western expedition to Shiguo, Wang Fei came up with a formula for Greek fire in order to ensure the victory of the Tang army.
In the Battle of Talas, the fierce oil fire in the hands of the Beiting Army shone brightly, helping the Tang Army turn the tide of the war.
At the same time, in order to minimize the damage from the Battle of Stone Castle, Wang Zhengjian secretly transported a batch of fierce oil fire to Geshuhan.
After the war, the prestige of the fierce oil fire spread all over the world, and the military towns and vassal tribes of all parties asked Wang Zhengjian for it through different channels.
On the contrary, the forbidden army in Chang'an City was unmoved, and never sent anyone to pay attention to the fierce oil fire.
Wang Zhengjian understood that the fierce oil fire was too powerful, and he controlled it very tightly.
In addition to sending a small amount of fierce oil fire to the Shatuo Department according to the agreement, it was said that "this thing is scarce"
For this reason, we will no longer agree to anyone's request.
After Ge Shuhan saw the huge damage of the fierce oil fire in the Battle of Stone Castle, he specially sent people to Tingzhou with a lot of money to buy it, but Wang Zhengjian refused.
After Nanzhao invaded Jiannan Dao, Yang Guozhong put pressure on Wang Zhengjian through the sage, and asked for more than ten carts of fierce oil fire from Beiting.
However, before the fierce oil fire was sent to the front line of Jiannan, Yang Guozhong reported the victory, saying that the Jiannan army had recovered the 32 Yizhou that had been invaded by Nanzhao.
Wang Zhengjian tried to get back the fierce oil fire from Yang Guozhong, but he shamelessly refused.
Initially, An Lushan was dismissive of the rumors of the fierce oil fire in Beiting.
In his Youzhou army, the bow and horse of the river bow and horse are sharp, and they are the most majestic soldiers and horses in the world, and they don't need any ghostly fierce fire at all.
In the autumn of the tenth year of Tianbao (751), An Lushan was jealous of the exploits of Wang Zhengjian and Ge Shuhan, and sent 60,000 troops to attack the Khitan, including 20,000 elite Tang soldiers in the three towns east of Pinglu River in Youzhou, 30,000 scattered cavalry of affiliated tribes and 10,000 cavalry of Xi people.
He wanted to finish his work in one battle, completely eradicate the Khitan tooth tent, and win the lord of Dongping County promised by the sage.
Unexpectedly, when the battle was about to be fought, there was a sudden heavy rain, and the bow and tendon rubber were relaxed, and the advantage of the bow horse dragging the river was gone.
In the rebellion of the Xi people, the Tang army was killed and wounded under the attack of the Xi and Khitan departments, and An Lushan was almost killed in the army.
After the defeat of the Khitan, An Lushan became interested in the rumored fierce oil fire that burned even when it met with water, and began to send people to Beiting again and again to ask for it.
Wang Zhengjian was dissatisfied with An Lushan's arrogance for a long time, so he naturally refused.
After Wang Yong followed Wang Fei into Beijing to take charge of the Beiting Concert Academy, the Hedong Concert Academy also discussed this matter with him several times, which was very annoying.
Wang Fei thought about the waves caused by the fierce oil fire, and secretly thought: "An Lushan, will you still rebel?" ”
"Xiao Langjun, I have to go."
Wang Yong hurried to Wang Fei's side and whispered: "It seems that An Lushan is also going to play the chapter to ask for fierce oil fire, and I have to explore the truth in person." ”
"Uncle Wang Yong, you go, don't worry about your family."
Wang Fei was extremely concerned about An Lushan's every move.
"Thirteen Niang, you have to accompany me on a trip."
Wang Yong turned around and said.
"What am I going to do?"
"I made an appointment over there to meet at a clean and elegant house in Pingkangfang, and he brought his wife, and it was inappropriate for me not to bring it."
Wang Yong was a little twisted.
"Is there a clean place in Pingkangfang?"
Su Sanniang raised her eyebrows: "Don't worry, I will not only go, but also take the long sword." If you dare to be dishonest, I will stab you to death with a sword. ”
"Xiao Langjun and Little Lady Yiyue are here, don't talk nonsense!"
Wang Yong's black face was hot.
"Don't look at indecent things, don't listen to indecent people. Yiyue, let's hurry up and let them continue to flirt! ”
Wang Fei laughed and pulled Ayitengna to the backyard.
The night is deep, and the drums are beating.
Wei Boyu, who was dressed in clothes, looked around vigilantly, driving his horse and galloping on the empty streets of the capital after the curfew.
Behind his horse, a splendid four-horse carriage was tightly covered by hundreds of knights.
