Chapter 34: A Night Talk in the Wing Room (I)
"Horse Yang Wei?"
……
Li Bai was also shocked when he heard the word "Yang Xun", and secretly wondered how the little monk in the mountain still had something to do with the emperor's relatives, he secretly looked Zhiqing up and down again, and then stroked his beard, and said with interest: "This Yang Juma is the husband of Princess Xianyi, and he is a relative of the emperor, little master, what do you inquire about him?" ”
Zhiqing raised his hand and scratched his head, and smiled casually: "Hehe, it's nothing, it's just that I often hear people in the government talk about him, and our county master often mentions this Yang Horse, and I think this Yang Horse is also a great person, so the little monk is curious for a while and wants to ask you." ”
"Oh......"
Li Bai glanced at Zhiqing again, and saw that he was just a childish teenager, who must have been somewhat interested in anecdotes in the capital, so he dispelled his worries and told Zhiqing about the life experience of Yang Yuma.
"This Yang Huan horse is the grandson of the first emperor, born to Princess Changning and 'Guanguo Gong' Yang Shenjiao, and his ancestor is Yang Xiong, the former Sui 'Guanwang'. In the twenty-third year of Kaiyuan, Yang Wei married Princess Xianyi, the daughter of the concubine Hui of the dynasty, and it became a good story for a while. In fact, it is common for the Li and Yang families to intermarry, but Princess Changning is the aunt of Princess Xianyi, and such intimate things are rare. After the death of the old colt, the little colt attacked the dukedom of the country, and later served as a squire in the military department. ”
"Oh... Oh... It turns out that this Yang Horse is also a famous family, no wonder his reputation is outside, and even the people of our small place have heard of his prestige. Zhiqing poured another cup of tea for Li Bai as he spoke, intending to ask him more information about Yang Huan.
Who knew that Li Bai gently pushed the tea cup to the side, and said with a smile: "I don't like to eat tea in the next place, if only there was wine!" ”
"Wine? Zhiqing heard that Li Bai wanted to drink, and he was also embarrassed for a while, and read: "I'm afraid this is not easy to do, you also know that this wine is the first precept of the monk's family, you want to drink, the little monk is really powerless." ”
When Li Bai saw the little monk's embarrassed look, he laughed and said, "Little Master, I'm joking with you, I also know the rules of this temple!" ”
While the two were talking, they heard footsteps outside the door, and then heard someone knocking on the door.
"Master Li, the meal is ready, can the little monk go in?"
As soon as Zhiqing heard that it was the second junior brother who was delivering food outside the door, he went to open the door to greet him. Zhiqing opened the door, but saw that Ziyun also followed Zhizhi. It turned out that Cao Xianling had already instructed Master Huiming to let the good students of the temple entertain this Hanlin scholar, prepare a few more dishes, and also instructed that this Li scholar loves to drink the most, if there is no good wine in the temple, you can prepare some vegetarian wine with him, or send someone to the market town below the mountain to get some wine. Master Huiming was instructed, so he had to ask Huifa to find a way to get some wine, this Master Huifa was a lover of wine, although he was ordained, but he still had a private collection of wine. He didn't know where to use the means, and sure enough, he got a jar of old wine, asked Ziyun to take the tin pot of warm wine, and sent it to Li Bai with wisdom.
"Yun'er, why are you here too?" Zhiqing saw Ziyun coming, and his face suddenly showed joy.
"I'm here to bring wine to Master Li! This is a good wine specially prepared by Uncle Hui for Master Li, and I asked me to send it to Master Li! Ziyun said that, and handed the basket to Zhiqing to see.
Zhiqing saw that there was indeed a sealed wine jar and some drinking utensils, so he smiled and said: "You came just in time, Master Li read to me just now, saying that he wanted to drink some wine, no, you came!" After that, he led Ziyun and Zhizhi to see Li Bai.
When Li Bai saw Ziyun, he was also a little surprised, so he asked, "Who is this girl, why is she in your temple?" ”
"Oh, she's... It's..."Zhiqing didn't know how to introduce Ziyun for a while.
"Back to the adult's words, the people's daughter's name is Ziyun, she lives in Changle Fang, Jiangdu County, just because her parents are not around, and she is bullied and has nowhere to live, so she was taken in by the elders and masters in this temple, and now the temple is a cook, these dishes are from the hands of the people's daughters, if it is not to your taste, please take care of the adults!"
"Oh... Oh... Good... Well, this little girl is very sharp-toothed, so the elders and the girl bothered, but in fact, it doesn't have to be like this, just be an ordinary pilgrim! Li Bai saw that the people in the temple treated him like this, and he was also a little ashamed, and thanked him again and again.
Ziyun asked Zhizhi to open the food box, took out the six hot and cold dishes in the food box, unsealed the wine jar, took the wine vessel, poured warm water, and simmered the wine warmly.
Zhiqing saw that the wine and food had been arranged, so he asked Zhizhi to carry the food box to reply to the master first, and he said to Li Baiyan: "Master Li, this dish has been prepared for you, you use it slowly first, Yun'er and I won't bother you!" With that, he gave Ziyun a look and wanted to turn around and leave.
"Hey, little master Zhiqing, please stay." Seeing that Zhiqing was leaving, Li Bai hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, and said, "Little Master, where are you going, didn't you ask me about Yang Huan's horse just now?" This food and wine are ready, how can you go? Come on, sit down, I see that you have been busy all day, and you must not have eaten, just right, accompany me to fast, come, let's taste this little girl's craftsmanship" and beckoned to let Zhiqing stay.
"This... I'm afraid it's not appropriate, you are a distinguished guest of this temple, I am just a little monk, sitting with you, I'm afraid it is not polite. Zhiqing knew his identity, and he also knew the status of the Hanlin Bachelor in front of him, and even the county magistrate wanted to have a meal with him, depending on the attitude of this adult, and he really didn't dare to think about eating at the same table with him.
"Ahem! How can there be so many etiquette, what the old man hates the most in his life is these etiquette, little master, I see that you are young and have a good conversation, I want to make friends with you, come on, come on, sit down, such a good wine and food, isn't it a sin to let me enjoy it alone? With that, he grabbed Zhiqing's monk's robe and pressed him on the stool.
Zhiqing hurriedly got up and excused himself, but was held down by Li Bai and said with a smile: "Little master doesn't have to be formal, Li is the most happy to make friends with the world's heroes in his life, and it is also a kind of fate to be able to drink with the little master today, so don't shirk it!" ”
"Lord Li, I'm afraid this won't work...... Although Zhiqing sat down according to his order, when he heard that he was going to drink with Li Bai, he was embarrassed for a while, and he excused himself: "The little monk never drinks, and he doesn't drink, so please Lord Li drink by himself, and the little monk is just waiting for you at the table." ”
"Oh, that's fine, you have the precepts with you, I won't embarrass you, you can accompany me here to eat some food and talk!"
Li Bai saw Ziyun standing aside, so he smiled at her again: "This little chef, you can also come to the table, with this little master, how about talking to me?" ”
When Ziyun heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and smiled: "No, no need, I've already eaten in the kitchen, you can use it slowly, I'll pour you wine on the side!" ”
"Oh, yes, yes." This Li Bai is really an informal, open-minded person, he asked Zhiqing to accompany him to eat, and Ziyun added wine and warm wine on the side, and he was a hundred and a half people who could chat with these juniors.
Li Bai said to Zhiqing: "Little Master, where did we talk just now?" Oh, by the way, the concubine Yang Hui, this Yang Huo is not an ordinary character, he relied on the fact that he was a relative of the emperor and the country, and he was the same clan as the prime minister Yang Guozhong, so he colluded with each other, and I don't know how many 'good' things he did that hurt the heavens and reason! ”
"Oh......" Zhiqing heard this, and only nodded secretly on the side, and asked again: "Then where is this Yang Yuma's mansion, is it also in Chang'an?" ”
Zhi Qingzheng said, and saw Ziyun come to burn the wine glass, and poured a glass for Li Bai.
Li Bai raised his glass and drank it all, and praised: "Well, this wine is good." He put the wine glass on the table and asked Ziyun to continue to fill it for him. Then he answered Zhiqing's question just now.
"His family is not in Chang'an, but in Luoyang." He also said: "This Yang Hui attacked his father's title, the mansion of that country was originally in Luoyang, and her mother Princess Changning is still alive, so their family lives in Luoyang, but Yang Hui also bought a house in Chang'an because he was an official in the court." ”
"My lord, have you ever been to Luoyang?" Ziyun, who was standing on the side pouring wine, immediately came to her senses when she heard the word "Luoyang", because Luoyang is the place she has dreamed of going to for so many years, where there are her parents and her relatives, so whenever she hears someone talk about Luoyang, she is very excited, which has almost become a conditioned reflex.
"I've been there, that's the eastern capital of our Datang, of course I've been, what's wrong girl?"
