The marriage of Yang Chong and Cui Yao spread all over the world, Shangxian County is now full of traffic, the post inns outside the city are all overcrowded, the villages near the county seat are full of people, there are convoys of gifts blocking the road every day, and heavy boxes are done from the carriage, and they quickly fill the courtyards of the two temporary residences, so that Cui Chuzhi and Yang Chong have to borrow the warehouse of the government to store them.

Scholars from all over the country have sent people to give gifts, nominally to give the Cui family face, and secretly they are looking for acquaintances to introduce and visit Yang Chong, wanting to have more opportunities to choose in this changing era. Yang Chong himself did not come forward to receive him, and handed over most of the entertainment to the Ministry of Rites, and was received by the superintendent of school affairs and the city superintendent, and all diplomats, scholars, and businessmen were handed over to the city superintendent, and scholars, Jianghu people, and monks were returned to the superintendent of education.

But today, Yang Chong and his subordinates appeared in the ten-mile long pavilion outside the west gate of Shangxian County, and it was obvious that a big man had come over; The last time Yang Chong came forward to greet the great Confucian Wang Tong and Wang Ji brothers. Wang Tong is the teacher of Longzhou Thorn Shi Du Yan, Shizhou Bei Cheng Yuan and others, and his status is respected; The gates of the city and along the roads were crowded with people, and the people who passed by stopped one after another, and the guests who came to give gifts and the local nobles also sent their servants to inquire which great god it was.

When the sun was in the sky, the convoy of the Hexi Commercial Bank came slowly, a carriage drove out of the convoy, and a thin old man with Huafa got out of the carriage and talked happily with Yang Chong. The sunlight is too strong, and it makes people a little dizzy, and the wealthy families in Shangxian are confused all of a sudden. Quentian Pavilion is dying for Li Yuan, Gong Yizhuo has also appeared in the Taiyuan army, and today he went to Shangxian County, whether he defected to Yang Chong, or came to negotiate on behalf of Li Yuan.

After Gong Yi entered the city, he went straight to the post house and never came out; Wang Tong arrived in Shangxian County, and was taken to Panhuan by Liu Xuan, among the guests of the post house middle school supervisor, the most famous at present is the great Confucian Wang Ji, the main palace of the Quentian Pavilion is easy to clumsy, Wutai Mountain Qingliang Temple Zunye, Yanshan Baotan Temple Fa Ming.

Wang Ji, Gong Yizhuo, Zunye, and Fa Ming are all lazy people, anyway, Yang Chong's marriage period is still a few days, so he drinks in a small garden in the post house all day. There is a special table of eight immortals in the octagonal pavilion, four people sit on one side, surrounded by red trees and green, and there is a small and exquisite rockery and two plantains in the corner; Yang Chong started by making wine, and now there are several wineries, and every wine sent by the post house is a good wine.

The scenery is picturesque, the wine is fragrant, Wang Ji drank another glass of Fenjiu and said: "I can't imagine that Fenjiu can also make such a taste, and I will definitely ask Yang Chong for advice when I have time." ”

Wang Ji is different from his brother Wang Tong, he is not much interested in being an official and becoming famous, but he has a soft spot for wine, and he boasts of bending his waist for five buckets of rice. Once the imperial court recruited Wang Ji, I heard that Taile Department Shi Jiao Ge is good at winemaking, Wang Ji asked for Taile Cheng, after Jiao Ge died, Jiao Ge's wife has been sending wine to Wang Ji, and when Jiao Ge's wife died again, Wang Ji abandoned the official and returned to his hometown; In his spare time, Wang Ji followed the Jiaogejia winemaking method as a classic, and used various winemaking methods after Du Kang and Yidi to compile wine recipes.

Gong Yizhuo drank Yan'an rice wine, with a faint sweetness aftertaste, Gong Yizhuo smiled and said: "I guess you can't go back this time, Yang Chong is said to want to open a winemaking major in Mozhuo Academy, as long as you go to ask for advice, he will pay a big price to invite you." ”

After Gong Yizhuo left the Tang Army, he went to Zhangye, lived in Shuai Guozhen, and Yu Wenkai, Shuai Guozhen, and Xie Hong as companions, and followed the caravan of Hexi Commercial Bank to Gaochang, Qinghai, Dunhuang, Yiwu and other places to visit, and spent a few months of leisurely days. This time, he couldn't stand Shuai Guo's real persuasion and Jiang Fei kept coming to the door, so he reluctantly came to Shangxian; Fortunately, Yang Chong's appetite for him, except for greeting, did not come to talk about Corporal Lixian once.

Wang Ji poured himself another glass of wine and said, "I agree, as long as he agrees to provide good wine every day." ”

Elder Zunye and Wang Ji are good friends, in their fifties, with white beards and long eyebrows, and said quietly: "This is not a problem for the Duke of Yue, and it is worth the price of being able to invite the king to benefactor." ”

Wang Ji laughed and said, "Old bald donkey, you just say that I have no taste." Tao Yuanming doesn't bend his waist for five buckets of rice, it is he who can find a paradise, you see that Dasui is now, where is there such a fairyland. My feeling is that being able to eat and drink good wine is enough. ”

If a group of fans of Wang Ji heard it, they would definitely be disappointed, a generation of famous Confucians, where is the foundation of how to behave in the world, where is the integrity, and you can bend your waist for the sake of wine, it is too child's play. Elder Zunye was not moved, as soon as Wang Ji drank, he was a person who didn't care about anything, Wang Ji once described himself as a barbarian cockroach's horse, with red hair on his neck and white hair on his body, he didn't want to run and die, he would rather be abandoned in the wild, as long as he was fat and strong.

The joke between the two did not dilute the atmosphere, and Abbot Fa Ming said worriedly: "Now that the male lords are rising, Yang Chong, Li Yuan, and Li Mi are all outstanding people for a while, I don't know how many years this battle will take." Gong Shi, you just came back from Hexi, what is the situation there? ”

Gong Yizhuan smiled and said: "Yang Chong is desperately developing the economy in Hexi, reclaiming wasteland and tuntian, and the people's livelihood has indeed changed a lot. But Hexi is now like a high-speed machine, both the Hu and Han people are sharpening their knives, ready to go to war at any time, a large number of materials are gathered in Wuwei, and the posture is ready for a long-term war. Yang Chong is here, let him talk to you. ”

"The Pavilion Master is talking too seriously." Yang Chong walked in from the path with a smile, sat down beside Wang Ji, poured himself a glass of wine and said, "It's not that I want to go to war, but someone forced me to go to war." Li Yuan and the others have already raised troops against the Sui, either in the same stream, or in the same direction, and there is no third way to go. ”

Kong Yingda, Zhang Guolao, and Master Cankun followed behind and took their seats one after another; Yang Chong knew that Abbot Fa Ming and Gong Yi were deliberately saying it to themselves, and with the martial arts of several of them, he and his party should have heard it when they entered the small courtyard. Gong Yizhuo watched Yang Chong's actions, and said with his chin bowed: "The Golden Needle is really extraordinary, although your bone has been formed, it is impossible to become a master again, but if you develop in terms of body cultivation, you will definitely be able to prolong your life." ”

Yang Chong raised his wine glass, toasted Gong Yi and said, "Thank you for the grace of the pavilion master not to kill." ”

Everyone laughed heartily, the battle of Shannan Villa was spread in the rivers and lakes, there are at least dozens of versions, some say that Yang Chong's life is big, and he will kill if he escapes Gong Yi's clumsiness; Some say that Zhang Guolao and Gong Yi worked hard for a hundred tricks, and both lost. The people who really survived, on the contrary, few people mentioned that compared to the later wars, thousands of people died at every turn, and Shannan Villa can only be regarded as an appetizer in the feast.

From today, three changes a day, thank you for your support.
