Chapter 51: Master Diancui
In the midst of everything, Chai Lin was busy settling the carriages and horses and buying a house; Fang Zhongyong conducted a lot of research, visited his neighbors, and constantly paid attention to and planned, what was not. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
When we really settled down, it was December. At this time in Bianjing, every household had begun to use coal for heating, that is, coal in later generations, instead of firewood.
In the big mansion that Chai Lin gave Yue Wenzhai, he hired a new shopkeeper, a housekeeper, a man, a maidservant and a coachman. This three-entry yard, after cleaning up, people come and go, the front yard office, the back yard rest, but also very comfortable.
In other words, this Chai Dagongzi, since he fell out of love from Wang Ziyue, officially began, playing the game of men and women in the world by himself. He chooses his maids, all of whom are bright, smooth, big-breasted, awl-faced, and big-eyed
ββThat is, the so-called Internet celebrity face in later generations, the model body.
Whenever Fang Zhongyong enjoys it together, these maidservants of Yingying Yanyan serve, and take a look at this group of girls, which makes him a little blind in appearance, he can't help but sigh:
The Great Song Dynasty is probably the era that is most similar to the aesthetics of later generations; And this Chai Lin in front of him also has a bit of the personality of the younger generation, the Sicong little brother.
The Chinese New Year is approaching, and Bianjing has been painting all kinds of brightly colored paints everywhere.
Different from the decoration methods of later generations, Bianjing people like not to shovel off the old foundation, directly paint a new layer, and then paint a layer of newer paint on the new base.
In this way, the building can still see the traces of old under the smooth and dazzling surface, so that it appears more vivid and more dazzling.
The weather was good on this day, Fang Zhongyong invited Chai Lin out of the warm couch of Yingying Yanyan early in the morning, and prepared to go to the Great Xiangguo Temple, the peak terrace not far to the south
ββAt that time, the most famous sumo wrestling ring was to watch women's sumo matches.
This women's sumo wrestling match, although it is known as sumo, is actually more like beach volleyball in later generations.
Judging from the sumo figurines unearthed in later generations and the murals of Song tombs, sumo wrestlers, especially female sumo wrestlers, are dressed in tights with extremely economical fabrics, with exquisite curves and slender figures.
Because of this, Fang Zhongyong's heart has long wanted to take this opportunity to take a big look at the arms and thighs of the white flowers, and watch the openness and freedom of the Great Song Dynasty.
So, without taking into account Chai Lin's day and night habits, he directly adhered to the Marxist revolutionary friendship that good things must be shared with good brothers, and dragged Chai Lin to watch.
On the peak terrace, in less than half a day, it is already overcrowded. On the stage was set up a table covered with red silk, on which were placed flag tents, silver cups, colored satin, cotton jackets, and on the side, a very handsome white horse with a very tall head was ledβthese were the prizes.
With the sumo wrestling match on the stage, the competition heats up. A 20-year-old female sumo wrestler jumped onto the stage from the contestants' rest area.
I saw her take off her coat, roll it up, and drop it off the terrace in a heroic manner. Wearing a tight body with small sleeves of the arrow shaft, Brother Ying'er green shorts, a pair of purple crotch pants underneath, and the arms and thighs are snow-white, stepping forward, facing a female sumo wrestling with a high head on the opposite side, it is a punch.
The female sumo on the opposite side did not dodge or dodge, but also dragged her fists, spit out a portal, put on a stance, and the two scuffled and wrestled.
Suddenly, a bird with a green bird hovered and flew in, although it didn't peck anything, but it repeated over and over again, at the female sumo with a high head, howling and circling, and the girl who disturbed was upset.
In the end, one was careless, and the flaws under his feet were exposed, and he was attacked by the big-breasted female sumo wrestler and won.
There was a burst of boos from the audience, mixed with applause, and the high-headed female sumo wrestler stood up very embarrassed, and looked coldly at the sky: strange, the kingfisher that circled repeatedly was gone.
In the midst of everyone's applause, the big-breasted female sumo wrestler, leading the prize horse, strolled majestically.
Fang Zhongyong waved his hand at Chai Lin violently, and then gestured to Chai Lin with his eyes. Then, together, the two of them followed behind an old man on the side of the crowd and moved into the depths of the alley together.
Fang Zhongyong saw it clearly, the emerald bird, clearly, was called by this old man.
A lot of curiosity arose in his heart.
After following Tianhanqiao Street, Mahang Street, and around Tan Lane, the old man finally walked into a courtyard.
The door outside the courtyard is closed tightly, and there is no gap in sight.
Fang Zhongyong looked at Chai Lin and said softly, "Hug me." β
Chai Lin's face instantly pulled down, pretending to be serious: "What do you want to do?" There are no ruffians with broken sleeves. β
"What do you think? What are you doing, when is it, what are you still making trouble? Fang Zhongyong whispered: "You hug it, I'll jump it, climb over the wall, and see what this master is doing." β
"Why am I a mat underneath, an old man playing with birds, what does he like to do, what does it matter to us?" Chai Lin muttered.
"That's why I said I'm going to see it. You see what kind of bird the old man is playing, you know? If I'm not mistaken, it's a kingfisher banned by the imperial court," Fang Zhongyong continued:
"Look at him, such a big ability to train birds, we caught him secretly domesticating, even selling, using some kingfishers, and signed a contract with him, you say, when the time comes, let him train a batch of carrier pigeons for us, just between men and women in this Bianjing City, send a love letter or something, can't you make a lot of money?"
What Fang Zhongyong didn't say was that the Songxia War was going to start in a few years, and domesticating birds as spies, a method that the Central Plains people were not good at, how could it be done if they didn't step up their cultivation earlier?
When Chai Lin heard this, he was a little reluctant, lowered his high head, leaned down his body, and assisted Fang Zhongyong.
β¦β¦
"In this year's application list for Taixue, Fang Zhongyong is on the list." Ouyang Xiu sat next to Fan Zhongyan, holding a silver self-pouring pot, drinking a little wine, and sitting opposite him was Fu Bi, who was gentle and elegant, slowly sipping tea.
In the middle of the hall, the red basket of charcoal in the charcoal basin was burning, and the maid buried a few taro in it, and after a while, it was fragrant.
Seeing the aroma of taro coming out, several maids also stepped forward, put iron tongs into the charcoal basin, clamped out the taro, put it on several trays, and wiped it clean with clean handkerchiefs, and then brought them to the tea table at the hands of the three of them one by one.
"Zhongyong, this kid is good," Fan Zhongyan nodded appreciatively: "He has a lot of ideas, his heart is big, he is an atmospheric person, and in the future, he will have a great future." β
Ouyang Xiu was very happy when he heard his idol and affirmed the person he recommended.
Fu Bi frowned slightly, and he looked like he wanted to speak.
Seeing this, Ouyang Xiu couldn't help asking: "Brother Yanguo, (Fu Bi, the word Yanguo) has something to say." β
Fu Bi cleared his throat slightly and said, "Do you know that this Fang Zhongyong has written a lot of gag funny jokes?
I heard that the official family likes it very much, those strange tricks and tricks, and the playthings are demoralizing, this is not enough. Also, that Lu Yijian, that Lu Yijian's mansion, is also acting in the plays he wrote all day long. β
"This? No way? Lu Yijian, actually let Fang Zhongyong's burlesque be staged in the mansion? Could it be that he wanted to use Fang Zhongyong first? Ouyang Xiu was like being burned by the hot taro in his hand, and he shook his hand and threw away the hot and delicious taro:
"No, I'd better go and inquire about the situation first. But I don't know, whether Fang Zhongyong has entered Bianjing now? Where are you? β
"Let's go to Kaide Mansion with a letter first," Fan Zhongyan bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "The water control has been completed, and I think he has been in Beijing for a long time." Write to him and ask him when he left, and you will know where he should be now. β
