Chapter 020: Lu meets Yang Guifei

Arrange for Lu Hu to go to Juehui to receive funds, and Li Zaixing was about to go to the martial arts field to start deploying matters related to the training of warrior monks, Du Fu grabbed him: "Brother Xian, didn't you say that you were going to drink flower wine?" ”

Li Zaixing was confused and looked at the sky: "No, I'll go in the morning?" ”

"Of course not." Du Fu smiled bitterly: "Of course you have to go in the afternoon to drink flower wine, but don't you make some preparations?" ”

Li Zaixing didn't understand, not to mention that he had never drunk flower wine in his life, and he had no experience in his previous life. He had no choice but to humbly ask Du Fu for advice. Du Fu didn't think it was strange, Li Zaixing grew up in the mountains, and it was normal for him to come to Chang'an for the first time, and he didn't know the rules for drinking flower wine.

Du Fu explained that the flower wine is not something that can be drunk if you want to, and the brothel in Pingkangfang is not open to welcome customers from all over the world, not only to be brought by acquaintances, but also to enter the eyes of prostitutes. So, if you're going to drink flower wine, you have to make yourself look like a rich man, not a scoundrel who eats overlord wine.

What kind of talent is like a rich man? First of all, of course, dress well; Secondly, it is necessary to have a good horse, and to go on a donkey, even on foot, will be laughed at; Secondly, there must be servants, both male and female, who must be well-looked and beautifully dressed. These three things are essential equipment, Li Zaixing only has two now, he has a good horse, a dignified servant, but the clothes are really unsightly, it is inevitable to be looked down upon.

When Du Fu said this, Li Zaixing understood. Du Fu is not just reminding him, but also himself. Don't forget, Du Fu is riding a donkey now, and it's a skinny donkey.

"Where can I buy clothes and horses?" Li Zaixing thought for a while, and said, "I still have to buy a maidservant, so I can't let Ah Hu wash my clothes every day." ”

"That's right." Du Fu smiled: "Brother Xian, come with me, I am familiar with the situation in the West Market." ”

Li Zaixing nodded, and then said: "Why do you go to the West Market, isn't the East Market next to it?" ”

Du Fu's face flushed: "The items in the East Market are expensive, and the same thing is at least two or three percent more expensive." ”

Seeing that Li Zaixing was puzzled, Du Fu further explained that there is a saying in Chang'an City, called the east is rich and the west is rich, and the northeast corner is the place where the most nobles in Chang'an City are located, the palace and the king's mansions are here, and the high-ranking officials also live here, so the prices here are very high. There are many Hu people in the west, so there are many rich people, but the overall level is still a lot worse than that in the east - after all, the rich merchants are in the minority, and those who are richer than the dignitaries and nobles are even rarer - so the prices are generally cheaper.

Li Zaixing suddenly realized. When he entered the city, he already knew that the south of the city was a place where the poor lived, and now he knew that the north of the city was also divided, the east and west of the city were not balanced, and the richest people in Datang were in the east of the city.

Understanding this truth, Li Zaixing didn't dare to slack off anymore, and went out with Du Fu, accompanied by Lu Hu and Ah Duan, and went straight to Xishi.

……

Out of the south gate of Pingkangfang, as soon as he got on Qixiamen Street, Lu Hu grabbed the telephony and didn't let it move. Li Zaixing was very surprised, and then saw a long train coming from the north, and dozens of knights clearing the way in front. Behind the knights, a group of white-faced and beardless men walked in, looking like eunuchs, and behind them, there were dozens of palace maids with flowers and branches, some holding flower blue in their hands, some holding incense burners in their hands, surrounding a luxurious carriage.

"This is Yang Guifei's car." Du Fu said in surprise: "Why did she go home alone to save her relatives?" ”

"Yang Guifei?" Li Zaixing was also taken aback, he saw Yang Guifei, one of the four beauties, so soon? However, he immediately remembered the frightening scene on Suzaku Street yesterday and shook his head with palpitations. Huan Fei Yan is thin, this Yang Da Beauty won't be a meat ball, right? Alas, I really can't bear the beauties of the Tang Dynasty.

"Yes, the concubine's private house is not far from the Qinrenfang in front." Du Fu pointed south: "Her brother Yang Zhao lives in Xuanyangfang, and her three sisters live in Xuanyangfang and Anyifang. ”

"Brother Du is very familiar with the residence of the Yang family brothers and sisters."

"Uh......" Du Fu smacked his lips in embarrassment: "Forced to make a living, I once went to submit poems." ”

"The result?"

Li Zaixing regretted it as soon as he spoke, if Du Fu's essay was useful, would he still live in Bodhi Temple.

Sure enough, Du Fu looked embarrassed and speechless. Li Zaixing immediately changed the topic: "The concubine went home to save her relatives, is it so popular?" ”

Du Fu didn't speak, he said "Huh", and said in a low voice: "The situation is not quite right, in the past, the concubine traveled with the Son of Heaven, even if she went home to save her relatives, she would walk from the middle of the royal road, how to take the road today?" ”

Li Zaixing looked at it carefully, and then found that the road Yang Guifei took was the road in the west of the middle, not the royal road in the middle. Is there a difference? He looked at Du Fu, but Du Fu didn't say anything, just silently watched the convoy pass. Sure enough, the convoy stopped at the place in front of Qinrenfang, and the car that Yang Guifei was sitting in and the accompanying palace maids entered Qinrenfang, but the knights who guided the front and rear rolled up the flag and went back and forth.

"Brother Xian, wait a minute." Du Fu said, urged the thin donkey, came to the side of the team, shouted a few words, and then came back. He ran sweaty, panting like a skinny donkey under his crotch, but his face was full of excitement.

"The concubine seems to have angered the Son of Heaven and was driven back to private for self-examination."

Li Zaixing was puzzled: "The concubine angered the Son of Heaven and went home to introspect, why is Brother Du so excited?" ”

Du Fu said happily: "Oh, I think, when the concubine goes home to introspect, the Son of Heaven will have time to manage the government." If I give at this time, maybe I will have a chance to be seen by the Son of Heaven. ”

Li Zaixing almost didn't come up in one breath. It turns out that not only Shixian is an official fan, but Shisheng is also an official fan, and he actually wants to take advantage of the young couple of people - no, it should be the old couple, and it's not right, it seems that Yang Guifei is not old, alas, no matter about him, anyway, it's the two of them - when there is a conflict, the upper endowment asks for an official. This guy is a bit unkind.

The procession passed, and Li Zaixing and Du Fu got back on the road, along the straight street, all the way to the west. Du Fu has been pondering about the matter of offering and seeking officials, so that he is a little absent-minded when he speaks. Li Zaixing said he was speechless.

When he came to Xishi, Du Fu was really familiar with the way, so he first took Li Zaixing to the horse shop and picked a horse. It is not the best horse, about 8,000 yuan, that is, an ordinary horse, for Du Fu to ride. sold Du Fu's skinny donkey at a low price, and bought two healthy donkeys for Lu Hu and Ah Duan to travel. Later, he went to the silk shop, Li Zaixing bought two sets of clothes by himself, bought a set for Du Fu, bought some fabrics, and went back to make clothes for Yang and Du Zongwen. I bought another car, and it is normal for a Datang woman to go out on horseback, but the Yang family is still used to riding a car.

After shopping through, it cost a total of 30 to 700 Wen, Du Fu looked at the horse, and then looked at the new clothes, very embarrassed. Lu Hu didn't say anything, firstly, he was just a servant and was not qualified to make irresponsible remarks, and secondly, the money was given by Juehui, and he didn't spend it in vain, so why did he save money for Juehui, which made Li Zaixing unhappy.

When everything was in order, they threw what they had bought on their horses, led them and walked towards the slave traders. As soon as he entered the door, a middle-aged bearded man with a long beard and a high nose and deep eyes greeted him, and with a sweep of his small eyes, he determined that Li Zaixing was the gold owner in this group of people, and greeted him warmly: "This master looks bright, I think it is the first time to come, I don't know if the master wants to buy or sell people?" ”

"Buying people."

"Buy a slave, or buy a beautiful maid?"

Li Zaixing really didn't understand these differences, and scratched his head: "I just want to find a maid who can do laundry, cooking, and chores, without too many requirements." ”

"Master, there is still a difference here." The middle-aged Hu Ren looked Li Zaixing up and down, and his smile became even brighter: "Look at the master's graceful and suave steps, I think he is a hero with high martial arts." If you buy a maid who can follow you out hunting, then you have to buy a sturdy Turkic maid or Khitan maid, with flexible hands and feet, first-class riding skills, and being half a man, ensuring that you will not be disappointed. If you want to buy a person who can sing and dance, and is used to warm the bed and accompany you, then buy a Silla maid, who has a soft body and good kung fu, and ensures that the waiter is comfortable. If you like the Western Regions, exotic, then buy a Persian maid, if you have a different taste and like a darker color, we also have a good Kunlun slave girl here......"

Li Zaixing was completely stunned by him, just buying a maid for laundry and cooking, is it necessary to make it so complicated, and ...... There are so many varieties of female slaves in Datang, which is worthy of being an international-level metropolis. He was suppressed by the middle-aged man, and felt too uncomfortable, so he immediately interrupted the middle-aged Hu man's introduction: "You don't have to say so much, I just bought a maid to wash clothes and cook." You have been talking for a long time, why are they all barbarians, and there are no Tang people? Don't tell me you don't have any Tang people here. ”

A touch of chagrin flashed in the eyes of the middle-aged Hu Ren, and the smile on his round face became even thicker, and he said carefully: "This master, in a small business, don't dare to do these things." As he spoke, he leaned over, took out a handful of money from his sleeve and stuffed it into Li Zaixing's hand: "Lord is hard, a little money, it is not a tribute, Lord take it to drink a glass of wine to relieve fatigue." ”

Li Zaixing looked at him inexplicably, and then looked at the money in his hand: "What do you mean by this, calling it Huazi?" ”

The middle-aged Hu man was about to cry, the corners of his mouth twitched, he turned to the Hu servant who was standing aside, and said with a smile: "This master, you wait, I will arrange the wine and food, please enjoy the face." ”

Li Zaixing is even more inexplicable, why are the merchants of the Tang Dynasty so polite, not only don't want money, but also give money?

Du Fu walked over and coughed: "You misunderstood, we are not here to fight the autumn wind." We really want to buy a maid who does laundry and cooks, it doesn't have to be too good-looking, just hardworking and hard-working. You go find a few suitable ones for us to see, and don't make any food or drinks. ”

"Really?" The middle-aged Hu Shang was overjoyed, looked Du Fu up and down, and saw that although Du Fu was dressed plainly, he was polite and polite, and there was no arrogance on his face, so he believed it, and hurriedly turned around to Zhang Luo.

Du Fu turned to Li Zaixing and whispered, "Brother Xian, you scared him." It was normal for these Hu merchants to buy and sell slaves, but no one dared to buy and sell Tang people. Once they meet fugitive slaves, they will get into a lawsuit. ”

Li Zaixing was inexplicable: "If you don't have it, you can't do it, why be so nervous?" ”

"Brother Xian looks majestic." Du Fu wanted to laugh but didn't laugh: "We are dressed plainly again, he probably thinks of us as rangers fighting the autumn wind." ”

"Ranger?" Li Zaixing suddenly realized, and then cried and laughed: "It's still the autumn wind, do I look very vicious?" ”
