Chapter 4 Listen to the music

Everyone took Zhang San for a while, turned a street corner, and came to a compound. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info a high pole at the entrance of the courtyard is two or three zhang high, and a white cloth and black cloth on the top of the guise is written "Zhangjia Wazi".

When he entered the courtyard, Zhang San only saw that the courtyard was a large courtyard layout, where there were people who ate and drank, fought crickets, sang operas, told stories, told fortunes, and sold medicine. There are all in this courtyard, the sun has just shown a little, and there are already people gathering here, some of them are pacing in all directions, some are humming a little song, and there are three or five friends talking about the sky, in short, there are more people coming in, and fewer people going out.

Li Si and the others came to a teahouse and found two empty tables to do, Zhang San was a little strange, didn't he go to a brothel? Why did he come to drink tea, so he asked Li Sidao next to him: "Didn't you say that you went to Goolan to listen to the music, why did you come here to drink tea?" ”

Li Si said with a smile: "At this time, the hook column over there is still preparing, and it is usually Cairo after breakfast, we just need to wait patiently, and it will start in a moment." ”

After speaking, Li Si shouted: "Little Er! Warm up with two pots of ginger tea on the two tables here. ”

The second junior over there replied, "It's coming!" Two pots of ginger tea will arrive soon! ”

After a while, Xiao Er brought up two teapots and a stack of tea bowls, and poured tea for everyone while dividing the bowls.

Zhang San took a closer look, and he could be regarded as having gained knowledge, this is the legendary Tang and Song Dynasty tea. We don't so much say of him as he is a bowl of soup brewed with tea powder. It is filled with red dates, ginger slices and other substances. A bowl of thick mush.

After pouring the tea, Xiao Er took a step back and said, "Third brother, fourth brother use slowly, you have something to order." ”

Li Si waved his hand to let him go down, Zhang San was a little speechless, it seems that he and the others are also frequent visitors here.

Zhang San saw that everyone was drinking this tea soup, and he also picked up the bowl and tasted it, and sure enough, as he expected, there was salt in it, and it was weird to drink, and it was not difficult to swallow, so Zhang San drank it in small sips.

"Hey, have you heard? There was a terrible disaster in Hebei, and hundreds of thousands of people died. ”

Zhang Sanyi was shocked when he heard this, and immediately looked at the table where he spoke, and it turned out that a few people in long robes were chatting.

A man at the other table said, "Hugh is going to talk nonsense, but there is only a flood over there, which flooded some fields and houses, but only a few thousand people died. ”

When the man saw someone raising the bar, he was unconvinced: "I listened to what my uncle who was a businessman said, how can it be fake, how do you know that only a few thousand died." My uncle said that along the way, he saw starvation everywhere, and many people fed on tree bark and grass roots, so it was not miserable. ”

"Hmph. So that you know, my father is a member of the Ministry of Water Zeng Xiaoguang in the same year, the official family has not been in July (26), the official Ministry of Water has not been (26) day, the Ministry of Water has been in charge of the Hebei Road Xiangdu Cuo River Affairs. A few days ago, my father received a letter from Zeng Xiaoguang, saying that the water situation had been brought under control, and the disaster relief efforts had been effective, with only a few thousand drowning deaths. ”

Zhang San suddenly felt that the man was tall, but he wondered why that person was dressed in coarse cloth like himself since he knew Wailang, a member of the water department, could it be that he was a brother who had a deep understanding of the people's suffering?

Zhang San of the Ministry of Water naturally knows that Zhang San is also the person who has watched "Ji Xiaolan with Iron Teeth and Copper Teeth", the one in it, "The Ministry of Water is on fire, and Jin Shangshu is building a lot of construction." The northerners and the southern, and the middle hall or something. I still remember the plot very clearly.

The Ministry of Industry is also referred to as the Ministry of Water! It's just that Zhang San didn't know that there was really a water ministry under the Ministry of Industry in the Song Dynasty.

It's just that Li Si sneered, Zhang San was a little strange, and looked at Li Si curiously, Li Si lowered his head and said: "That bragging, people give the nickname "Wan Niu Afraid" Li Yong, his father is just a little steward in Li Yushi's mansion, I don't know whose ears he heard some outdated news, and used it to brag all day long, ignoring him?" ”

Zhang Sanhan, so it is, the image of "ten thousand cows afraid" is vivid. It seems that the Water Margin really likes to give people nicknames. The man on the other side was really intimidated by his momentum for a while and didn't dare to say anything, the man looked at this Li Yong Li Gongzi carefully, and saw that he was also wearing coarse linen clothes, and suddenly had some suspicions, but everyone knew that the water in the capital was deep and didn't dare to say much, and after paying for tea, he walked away.

It turned out that he was a foreigner who had just arrived in the capital, and he heard from his neighbors what was going on in Hebei, so he came here to talk nonsense and show what he had seen. Seeing what Li Yong said so swearingly, he is also empty-hearted. In fact, he didn't know that Li Yong was an old bragger, and he could tell the fake more like the real than the real.

After the man left, Li Yong felt that he had gained power for a while, and laughed loudly. When other people saw him, they didn't dare to talk about the court, and those who knew him didn't bother to expose him.

Zhang San heard the news of the Taiyuan earthquake and the northern flow of the river at another table, and he also remembered them one by one.

Seeing that everyone was not talking to him, Li Yong was bored, so he said loudly: "Do you know that a big incident happened in the palace last month. ”

Stopped talking, lowered his head to drink tea, there are good deeds, listening to him at the beginning of the anxious scratching of his ears and cheeks, and the knowledgeable asked Xiao Er to give a pot of good tea.

Li Yong drank the good tea given by others, naturally he didn't take care of it, and then said: "In August, on the fifteenth day of Wuyin, the virtuous concubine Liu descended a prince. You know. ”

The emperor has always had no children, and now that he has a prince, he is naturally a big banquet minister, and the news has already spread throughout the capital, so everyone is disappointed.

Seeing this, Li Yong was not in a hurry, took a sip of tea, and then said: "Just the day before yesterday, the official family had issued an edict to canonize Concubine Liu as the queen. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't know until next month. ”

Everyone was really surprised, although Zhang San didn't know who Concubine Liu was, but he also felt that the news spread in Bianjing Kaifeng was fast. also has a deep understanding of the Great Song Dynasty's unspoken crimes, and it is really surprising that the news of the royal family in this palace can be circulated in the teahouses in the market.

That Li Yong saw that he shocked everyone, and he was also proud for a while, but who was named the queen by this official family was just a talking point, and some people had already learned from the amnesty edict that everyone was not interested, and Li Yong saw that no one had to drink his own tea.

Zhang San drank tea while listening to everyone chatting, but it sounded like most of the ladies of the family stole the man, whose man raised the outer room, who was afraid of the wife, the girl on which floor, the lady of whose family, and so on. There was no useful news for a while.

After drinking tea, Li Si and the others also stopped playing, only to hear a loud sound, and suddenly most of the tea guests in the teahouse rushed out, and Zhang San also followed Li Si and others to meet fifty wen tea money, and walked out.

Zhang San hurriedly pulled Li Si and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

Li Si pointed to the disguise in the distance and said. said: "Of course, the Cheng family is going to listen to the music." ”

Zhang San followed and saw a gray white cloth floating there, with "Cheng Jiagou Column" written on it. Zhang San and Li Si came to the door of the wood-walled field, and everyone consciously paid 30 yuan each and walked inside.

Zhang San calculated, Zhang San ate three cooking cakes in the morning, plus the bean curd cost a total of eleven Wen, just drank tea and one person made up three Wen, only spent 14 Wen, this is a tick bar, just the entrance fee costs 30 Wen, sure enough, it is still such a Fengyue place, high consumption.
