Chapter 6: Outing

In the blink of an eye, the third day after the opening of the school year arrived, and the school and the imperial court had to have a day off every tenth day. In the past month, Changsun Tang has not shown any difference from others, nor has the common scenes of regretting marriage, being stumbling by Changfang, being bullied by subordinates, and being teased by a gentleman and slapped in the face. How did this month pass peacefully, so calm that Changsun Tang almost forgot that he had crossed over, and calmly made Changsun Tang think that he had become a passerby.

In the past month, Changsun Tang got acquainted with several classmates in the school. One is the son of a salt merchant named Ge Chengze, whose father Li Yuan funded the army led by Li Shimin when he raised the army; Another family runs several silk shops called Zhang Shaokang. Ge Chengze was sixteen years old, Zhang Shaokang was fifteen years old, and the school at this time was not as standardized as the later generations to teach according to age and academic qualifications, but more like the kind of tutor system of graduate education in later generations. Ge Chengze and Zhang Shaokang obviously came to gild, and they were ready to go back to take over the family's business after a few years, so they didn't work very hard, and Mr. put up with it for the sake of the two of them. During this time, Changsun Tang first followed Assistant Teacher Li to learn the introductory school of arithmetic, so he was quite familiar with the two living treasures.

It's the end of the decade again, and the scenery of early spring is the most charming, and at the end of March, the city is full of flying poplar catkins and willow buds that rise and fall with the breeze. The two proposed to go out, and the eldest grandson also wanted to go out of the city to see, and by the way, find a way to make a fortune. So the three of them made an appointment to go out together.

The next day, Zhang Zhong set up the carriage, prepared the ingredients and charcoal, and met Zhang Shaokang and Ge Chengze at the Chunming Gate and walked east along the official road to Luoyang. Changsun Tang's carriage is in the center, along the way to raise the curtain to look at the pedestrians on the road in a hurry and the houses on the side of the road, just from Chang'an City, the houses are still mainly tile houses, the side is mostly herringbone, the ecosystem of the Guanzhong Plain at this time is still very complete, the eight rivers around Chang'an make the rainfall more abundant, and it is not like the later generations of people who rely on collecting rainfall as domestic water. A little far away from Chang'an, the scene began to be a little dilapidated, the low earthen walls, the roof of the old and new thatch, all show that even the Zhenguan rule at the beginning of the peak of the feudal era is not as recorded in the history books.

Packing up the nostalgia for the past and the present, the three carriages also arrived at a glade by the Chan River. The three of them got out of the car and walked upstream together, and the task of cleaning up the stall was only done by the entourage, and the ruling class of the eldest grandson also realized the benefits of feudal society again.

With the flying willow and the smoke in the distance, a few ducks in the river paddled comfortably in the water, shaking their feathers. A peaceful picture.

There seems to be a green walk not far away, and there are several female dependents standing on a bamboo raft on the river in the distance, and there is a faint laughter like silver bells. Ge Chengze planned to go up to get acquainted, but was stopped by the eldest grandson and Zhang Shaokang. The three of them know their own affairs, and if you look at the pomp and circumstance ahead, you will know that it is not something that the three of them can provoke at the moment. The three of them retreated boredly.

The venue was almost set up, and Ge and Zhang saw that Zhang Zhong had just moved out of an iron shelf, and charcoal had risen on the shelf, and they were very surprised, and they didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the eldest grandson. The eldest grandson didn't say much, just picked up the skewers that Zhang Zhong had skewered and roasted them by himself, and smeared the seasonings prepared in advance on them from time to time.

After a short while, the special aroma had already made the two of them can't help but move their index fingers. Before it was baked, Ge Chengze snatched it from the eldest grandson and tasted it, as if he had been stung, and shouted: "Water, water......"

Ge Chengze's entourage hurriedly took the skin bag and handed it over.

"What is this? Why is it so spicy? ”

"I call him Chili, I found it from the weeds, how about it?" The eldest grandson used this reason to prevaricate the past.

"It's spicy, but it's really enjoyable." Ge Chengze said. Shaokang also trys. He handed over the meat skewer he had taken a bite of.

Zhang Shaokang took it, had a lesson from the past, tasted it in small bites, and then feasted on it, but he was not afraid of spicy at all.

The three of them took the barbecue brought by the eldest grandson, and tasted the Jiangnan daughter red brought by Zhang Shaokang. Although there is no beer from later generations, the redness of the daughter of rice wine is not high, and the three of them drank a whole jar before giving up.

Full of wine and food, the three of them sat on the ground and talked about those ups and downs, mainly Ge Chengze and Zhang Shaokang said that Changsun Tang was responsible for listening, this was not Changsun Tang's stage fright, he always said to the two that the black silk skirt was the best match.

As they spoke, the three of them talked about their current situation. Zhang Shaokang came from Jinyang, which is Taiyuan in later generations, that is, the place where Li Yuan raised his army, although his family served before and after the saddle at the beginning, but his father was a side branch, and after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, he was crowned a baron who could not be hereditary, and he didn't even have a baron. Ge Chengze's father waited for Li Shimin to capture Chang'an before he defected to Li Shimin with a large amount of property, and he was also named a baron. Both families hoped that they could go further, but just like Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", they had nothing to do with the sacrifice of iron, and the two had to enter the most advanced arithmetic of the six schools.

In a sigh, the eldest grandson patted the weeds on his clothes and said, how about we open a barbecue restaurant in the East Market, the three of them discussed some details and prepared to do a big job, and the eldest grandson, who did not start a business in his previous life, did not have any good opinions, so he could only wait for everything to be regular, and slowly infiltrate some advanced concepts suitable for this era in later generations.

Before they knew it, the sun was setting in the west, and the peasant woman who was washing clothes at noon was long gone, and the three of them had to rush back before dark, or else they would have to enter the city tomorrow once the gates were closed.

The three people who were on the rise couldn't help but be a little disappointed, but they had no choice but to do so, but when they returned to the city, the three of them crowded into a carriage and continued to scold Fang Xuan and point out the country......
