Although Cao Yun didn't have any plans to visit Wazi today, the stove in the house could not be opened on the first night, and everyone had to go to the tavern outside to eat.

There is a small river outside the official house, the two sides of the river are made of bluestone embankments, and the weeping willows are planted all the way along the river, which is very clean, Li Yanqing took his family to walk slowly along the river, he pointed to a courtyard on the other side of the river and said with a smile: "There is Qujiang Music Workshop, a school specializing in learning music, there are about more than 100 students, many of them are the daughters of eunuchs, Jiaojiao and Bao Niang can go to learn." ”

Jiaojiao couldn't help pouting and muttered in a low voice, "I just jumped out of the fire pit in the capital, and I want to push me into the tiger's mouth, so I won't do it!" ”

Cao Yun heard her muttering, and couldn't help but be angry and funny, "Jiaojiao, I promised my father that you must continue to study in Jingzhao, whether you read at home or outside, it's all up to you, but I just can't let you herd sheep!" ”

Cao Jiaojiao was silent, Baoyan took her hand, shook it and said with a smile: "Sister Jiaojiao, let's study together and raise birds together, okay?" ”

Hearing the latter sentence, a smile suddenly bloomed on Jiaojiao's face, "There must be a shop selling birds in the tile shop, let's go shopping later!" ”

People walked about 200 steps along the river, then arrived at the southwest mouth of Qujiang tile, Qujiang tile ranked second among the five tiles of Jingzhao, the whole tile covers an area of about 200 acres, from the high altitude overlook, the tile is in the shape of 'back', it is composed of two parts inside and outside, there are eight gates outside, the main gate is in the north, the southwest mouth is the place where flowers, birds, fish and insects are sold, there are not many people, and it is relatively quiet.

Cao Jiaojiao was also hungry and couldn't bother to go to see the birds for the time being, but she had already found a way to bring Bao Niang to buy birds when she went home.

Passing through the flower market, the hustle and bustle of the atmosphere immediately rushed to the face, only to see that both sides were crowded with all kinds of large and small shops, people came and went on the street, the river was endless, at this time, more than a dozen personal soldiers ran forward, stopped the pedestrians on both sides, Li Yanqing took his family into the Qujiang Villa tavern opposite.

The tavern is very large, and the lobby is full of guests, but they don't need to enter the lobby, but take the stairs next to it, and go directly into a private room on the second floor, and the elegant room lights two charcoal basins to make the room warm like spring, and they are a group of seven people, plus two nurses holding children, a total of nine people, and the soldiers eat in the hall, and the rest of the servants give five hundred yuan each, and go outside to eat by themselves.

Li Yanqing smiled and waved his hand, "I have already ordered the wine and food, and I will send it immediately, everyone is free to sit first!" ”

They took off their hats and cloaks, and sat down at the big table, while the two nurses sat on the edge with their children in their arms, and the two maids came in and poured them hot tea, and after a while, three bartenders came in with large food cages, and brought up the dishes like flowing water, and a few jugs of wine.

"Big Scholar, I'm going to drink too!" Jiaojiao couldn't help but scream when she saw that her sister didn't have her own share of the wine glass.

Cao Yun glared at her, "What kind of wine do you children drink, just drink tea, look at how well-behaved other people's mothers are, don't say anything, you have a lot of opinions!" ”

"Bao Niang is a child, of course she can't drink, but she has grown up and can have a drink." Jiaojiao added, "The old man also allowed me to have a drink during the Chinese New Year." ”

Li Yanqing said with a smile: "Yun Niang, today's wine is sweet rice wine, she and Bao Niang can drink a little, it won't get in the way." ”

When her husband opened his mouth, Cao Yun handed her a wine glass, "Okay! You are not allowed to drink too much, only one drink. ”

Cao Jiaojiao cheered and hurriedly poured a glass of wine for herself and Bao Niang.

At this time, Li Yanqing stood up and said, "Today for the family reunion, we have this toast!" ”

"Cheers!" The crowd cheered and drank together.

Cao Jiaojiao drank the wine in one gulp, but while her eldest sister was unprepared, she secretly poured herself another glass of wine, but found that her brother-in-law was watching her pour wine, Jiaojiao's face turned red, and she quickly made a grimace with a smile.

At this time, Zhang Ying's voice came from outside the door, "Tongzhi and his family are dining, it is inconvenient for outsiders to disturb!" ”

"I'm not an outsider, I'm also a colleague of Li Tongzhi, I came to toast him with a glass of wine, how can I refuse people thousands of miles away?"

This seems to be the voice of the prefect Yang Xuzhou, Li Yanqing was stunned in his heart, picked up the wine glass, got up and walked out, opened the door, and sure enough, he saw Yang Xuzhou and two officials standing outside the door with wine.

Li Yanqing smiled: "Why is Governor Yang here?" ”

Yang Xuzhou seemed to have drunk a few more glasses, his face was flushed, and he haha: "This restaurant was opened by my brother-in-law, come and cheer for it, just now I heard the official say that he saw Li Tongzhi and his family, so he came to say hello!" ”

"I see, come! I salute Governor Yang for a cup, and I will do it first! ”

Li Yanqing raised his glass and drank it all, shook the wine glass, Yang Xuzhou also drank the wine in the cup, and asked with a smile: "Why don't you come out to see my brother and sister?" ”

Li Yanqing was suddenly unhappy in his heart, how did he speak? Can you casually see other people's wives and daughters on this occasion?

Zhang Ying next to him snorted heavily, his fists clenched, Li Yanqing hurriedly gave Zhang Ying a look, and smiled at the two officials behind Yang Xuzhou: "Wu Senjun and Master Zhang are also here to toast!" ”

The two officials hurriedly raised their glasses and said, "We are here to respect Tongzhi!" ”

"You're welcome, I've caused trouble for the two of you in the past few months."

At this time, Yang Xuzhou staggered towards the room, "I'll go toast my brother and sister with a glass of wine!" ”

Zhang Ying was furious, grabbed Yang Xuzhou's neck, dragged him out, and pushed him out a few steps away.

Yang Xuzhou was also angry, "Li Tongzhi, what's the matter with your subordinate, provoking me three times and twice, when I don't have a temper?" ”

Li Yanqing said coldly: "Governor Yang, you drank a little too much today, let's go and rest first!" ”

He glanced at the two officials next to him, and the two officials secretly scolded Yang Xuzhou for being rude after drinking, and hurriedly stepped forward to set up Yang Xuzhou on the left and right, "Tongzhi, Yang Zhifu drank a few more drinks today, a little confused, please don't be weird!" ”

Li Yanqing smiled and nodded, "Take Governor Yang to have a good rest!" ”

"Who said I drank too much, Li Tongzhi, I haven't had a drink with my younger siblings yet!"

The two officials were eager to take off their socks to stop the prefect's foul mouth, and the two of them worked together to drag him into another room.

Li Yanqing snorted coldly, turned around and patted Zhang Ying's shoulder, "Let's go down and eat!" Not needed here for the time being. ”

"Humble and arrange for two brothers to come up!"

Zhang Ying walked down quickly, Li Yanqing returned to his table and sat down, Cao Yun smiled and asked, "What's going on outside?" ”

"Governor Jingzhao Yang, he drank too much wine and came here to talk nonsense, and I have asked other officials to drag him away."

"Will the husband offend him by talking to him like this?"

Li Yanqing shook his head and said disdainfully: "It's not that I offended him, but that he offended me, look at it!" He will come and apologize to me early tomorrow morning. ”

Sisi smiled: "It seems that Fulang is still quite an official in Jingzhao Mansion!" ”

Li Yanqing smiled and waved his hand, "The official authority in Jingzhao is average, if you really talk about it, when you are in Jiayu County, it is full of official authority, and it is nostalgic!" ”

Everyone laughed out loud, Cao Yun pointed to her husband and sighed, "You! It's really unproductive, and I still miss the days of the eight-grade sesame official. ”

Everyone talked about the interesting story of Jiayu County again, the atmosphere began to be lively, everyone drank a few glasses of wine, Jiaojiao and Bao Niang were already full, the two discussed to buy birds, Li Yanqing hurriedly called two personal soldiers to accompany them.

At this time, Hu Qing'er walked up to Li Yanqing with a glass of wine, pursed her lips and smiled: "I salute my eldest brother with a glass of wine." ”

Li Yanqing smiled: "Your glass of wine is not good, say it!" What do you want to do? ”

"Big brother, you promised during the last Northern Expedition, but I was bored at home!"

"How's your flying stone and knife practice?"

"I've been practicing hard, and I don't dare to fall behind for a day."

Cao Yun next to her smiled: "Qing'er is right, she is really hard, she has not rested for a day, husband give her a chance!" ”

Li Yanqing thought for a while and said: "In a few days, there will be a competition in the army, you can also participate, if everyone recognizes you, then you can become a general from the army!" ”

"Really?" Qing'er asked in surprise.

Li Yanqing nodded, and said with a smile: "You'd better show me your hand now." ”

Qing'er picked up the two wine glasses casually, threw them into the air, and a sharp and sharp dagger came out of his hand, piercing the two wine glasses in the air, and nailing them firmly to the wooden pillar more than a dozen steps away.

Li Yanqing was a little shocked, he could actually break the cup without breaking it, even if he couldn't do this skill himself, after a while, Li Yanqing applauded and sighed: "You can become a teacher!" ”
