Chapter Eighty-Nine: Spring Outing
In the third year of Huichang, the Quchi outside Chang'an City is very lively. Wuzong feasted the ministers here, and the ministers were also smiling, and the words of complimenting the emperor were endless. Before Gain, the Tang Dynasty had achieved a major victory over the Uighurs.
A few years earlier, there had been civil strife in the Uighurs. The Uighurs, who had long been at odds with the Uighurs, took advantage of the opportunity to raise troops to defeat the internally unstable Uighurs, and both the rebel generals and the new khan he had established were killed. The Uighurs were divided into two parts, one with an internal attachment and the other with Uzhitler, the Khan of Usuke, who claimed to have 100,000 people.
Then, in the first month of this year, Wujie Khan led the people to invade Zhenwu (now Inner Mongolia and Lingel North), and recruited the Hui envoy Liu Wei to send Linzhou (now Shenmubei, Shaanxi) to assassinate Shi Shixiong, and the Duzhi soldiers and horses Wang Feng led 3,000 cavalry from the Shatuo, Qibi, and Tuoba tribes to attack his tooth tent, and followed him with a large army.
Xiongzhi Zhenwu, dug more than ten caves from the city, led the troops out at night, and attacked the Khan's tooth tent. The Khan was frightened, abandoned the baggage and fled, the Xiong led the army to be reluctant, on the 11th, the Wujie Khan was killed in Hushan (now ******** north), and more than 10,000 people were killed. The Khan was wounded and fled with hundreds of horsemen. More than 20,000 people from the Hui tribe were collected.
In any case, even if the Uighurs fell, they could be called a tribe of tens of thousands of people, and they were wiped out. It's something to celebrate. shows the entire Datang, there is still something to be gained. The emperor took the lead in feasting his ministers, and each of the provinces had their own joys.
Well, I just said that the ministers dislike the emperor's reward is getting more and more shabby? No, you misunderstood, even if the daily working meal is getting more and more shabby, it's also a grace of God, isn't it?
The emperor feasted his ministers in Chang'an, and the provincial government also had its own joy. At this moment, outside the city of Xuzhou, there is a hill. At this moment, many cars have come here one after another, destroying the original tranquility and tranquility of the mountains and forests. The target of these carriages is a separate business in the hills, which occupies a large area.
Don't be a villa, it's a villa in the Tang Dynasty. Xuzhou has many plains, few mountains, near this hill, in fact, there is more than one other industry, from the foot of the mountain to the mountain, you can see that it covers a wide area, or carved beams and painted buildings, or small and delicate other industries. These are all owned by the magnates in Pengcheng, and idlers can't go in.
A car drove into another industry, the door of other industry had already opened, and immediately a servant instructed the vehicle how to park, and when the vehicle was parked, someone immediately stepped forward to open the door, and then a person came out of the car who was dressed or gorgeous, or low-key and luxurious.
Occasionally, there are a few who look quite poor, but the poorer they are, the more their nostrils are facing the sky, and they seem to be very unique, and others are just a class of laymen who are not qualified to compare with themselves.
Often, these people have to drive a car, and they may be an old cow or an old donkey, which is very different from those who have a little money and have to use horses, and ordinary people who have to use a healthy donkey to drive.
Li Chen is not here, otherwise he will complain about those people, pretending to be 13, if he is really high, he will not appear here, it is obvious that this is a gathering of dignitaries and nobles, if you don't climb the dragon and the phoenix, what are you doing here. Pretending to be high, do you think those people are cheesy? It's just that you can't eat grapes, and you just say that grapes are sour.
The wheels rolled over, and another car arrived, and this car was pulling a green donkey, which seemed quite energetic, and when he saw the horse pulling the cart in front of him, he bared his teeth at it, showing his disdain.
The servant stepped forward to pull the car door, lowered the baffle, and a woman in green jumped out of the car with her hands and feet, and reached out to help out a woman in plain clothes.
The servant was photographed by the woman's appearance, and froze for a moment, the woman is not beautiful, but there is a charming style, the most charming is a pair of red phoenix eyes, hooking the soul, as if looking at you again, but secretly avoiding your amorous eyes, with her cold expression, very attractive.
Finally, the servant was trained by the family to welcome guests, and he was well-trained, and immediately came back to his senses, respectfully gave way, and showed the way.
The woman Tingting walked forward, and at this time, a red-clothed maid came out of the donkey cart, she took out a pipa from the donkey cart, and handed it to the green-clothed maid, who held the pipa in both hands and followed her hostess. Then the maid in red, holding a wine urn in both hands, jumped out of the car and hurried to follow.
'Lady, the scenery here is very good. These three people, the red clothes are naturally Xiao Hong, the green clothes are green lotus, and the owner of the plain clothes is naturally Yang Er. As a few people walked forward, the entire scenery of Beyde gradually appeared in front of them.
The whole other industry, by the mountains and rivers, has not changed the terrain much, mainly with the direction of the mountain layout, of course, this is also the mainstream of this era, after all, there is no excavator in this era, you can change the landscape casually and easily.
In other industries, the grassland is flat, and it can be seen that the owner maintains this place very carefully, and there is no pesticide age, so it is difficult to keep the land from growing grass.
A quiet path, with the ups and downs of the mountain, from time to time a tree, or a clump of flowers and plants, sometimes a pavilion for people to rest.
Further inside, a brook murmured in front of them, and a small wooden bridge stretched over it. Walking further, turning a col, the main venue for today's main event appeared.
The first thing that catches your eye is a small lake, so clear that the mountain spring water rushes down from the mountain, flows into the small lake, and the small lake flows out of a small stream.
There is a gazebo on the shore of the lake, and there are already many people at the moment, either standing or sitting. Forming a circle, I don't know what I'm doing in the middle, I only know that there are two groups of people around, and they are distinct.
On the verdant grass beside the gazebo, there were more people there, some people walking around at will, and some young people were chasing after the grass, bursting into laughter.
Some people sit and laugh loudly or talk in low voices. They did not sit on the floor, but on a large bench with a large low table in front of it, the height of which was level with the benches around them, on which a lot of food was placed, including fruits, wine, snacks, meat, everything.
Yes, the scenery is good, and the people are good. I have to let you hold a wine to advertise, don't be tired. The two walked all the way, talking and laughing as they walked, and Yang Er teased Xiaohong for holding an urn of wine in her hand and holding it carefully.
'Lady. Xiaohong stomped her feet and said angrily, "People are just helping each other." If the wine sells well, Li 13 said, he will invite more people to help. Li Chen got a promotion in the store, just a few things, and he pressed the rest for the time being.
However, a few days ago, he asked Xiaohong for help, and asked Xiaohong to take this opportunity today to help promote his wine. Li Chen didn't expect that the business would be so good just when the distilled liquor was sold in the store.
But even if he had expected it a long time ago, he would still ask Xiaohong for help, after all, his wine is really expensive, and while today's Zhonghe Festival, there is also a banquet in Xuzhou officialdom, so as to promote it, so as not to worry about the lack of purchasing power of the common people.
'Ladies and gentlemen. After the two arrived, Li Shi had to greet them and lead the way for them. Then there was a butler-like figure, shouting to the other distinguished guests, 'Yang Du knows, today is coming, the flow of the water is about to begin, please feel free to take a seat.' I think everyone knows it. Lanting set preface, I think everyone is familiar with it.
Hearing this, some of the people wandering on the grass and in the pavilion went to the Qushui Liuzhen site, and some did their own thing regardless of it. Only a few people walked in the pavilion, and now you can see that there is a game of chess in the pavilion.
Under the leadership of the servant, Yang Erniang first walked to a stream, which was obviously artificially organized, and a stream with nine curves and eighteen bays also formed a pattern. Eventually, a stream flowed out of the lake, and through this meandering water, the stream that had just crossed was formed.
Since the creek is used as a place for meandering water, of course, there is enough space on both sides for people to sit on the ground and even stretch their bodies, which is not a small space.
At this time, this place is full of mats that are not usually placed, and many guests who arrive early have already occupied their favorite positions, which at first glance is quite the style of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.
Yang Er had just sat down in his place, and immediately a gaze seemed to be lightning. A good look, but slightly inferior to Yang Er, the woman was looking at her, with hostility in her eyes, Yang Er was not to be outdone, and also glared back.
Yang Er was happy to get a new poem on Yuan Xi, and today he will listen to it with everyone and evaluate it. The two were competing with each other, but the others were unconscious, and sat down one by one, and after everyone sat down, Yang Er spoke.
'What a coincidence, a certain family also got Du Ziwei's new poem. The woman who had just exchanged glares with Yang Er rushed to speak, "Compared to some unknown people, I think you prefer Du Ziwei's poems." ’
'Du Ziwei has a new poem, okay, please Zheng Duzhi sing it to everyone. The so-called "all know" is the title of a high-level prostitute in the Tang Dynasty.
"It doesn't matter, it's just this correction..." Otherwise, let's compare and see how you like it. Yang Er replied, "Xi Jiao can wait for the time being." Yang Er glanced at the young man who had just spoken, "The Ming Mansion will trouble the master's family, Qian Langjun." Qian Langjun, the master here, responded, "It's disrespectful, today not only Du Ziwei has a new poem, but also Yang Duzhi recommends a new word, and you and so on will be blessed." ’
'Who do you want to ask for the chief punishment record, but you can volunteer.' Yang Er asked with a smile. The chief penalty is mainly responsible for punishing alcohol. To make this relationship clear, let's start at the beginning.
First of all, the prostitute in the Tang Dynasty is more like a modern restaurant, looking for a wine girl. The first is to drink and chant poetry, not just take off your pants and go on.
The process of prostitutes in the Tang Dynasty is like this, first of all, a supervisor will be elected, that is, the Ming government supervisor is responsible for supervising the entire drinking party activities, and it needs to be a respected person, otherwise some people may not be satisfied. Because of this, it will be called the Ming Mansion, which in the Tang Dynasty was the honorific title for the county order.
There were two men under the order of the superintendent, and one was a lawyer. Usually the person in charge is a prostitute, and she is responsible for commenting on the verses, and she has to say who is good and who is bad. Where the good is, the bad is there. Often, this kind of position can also be referred to as a seat, or a drunken position. The law records who want to drink, and the person who is responsible for the execution is called the chief punishment record, and it is also called the record of the king.
Xi Jiao This is the job that Yang Er does, this job is not simple, he has to be responsible for heating up the atmosphere, much like the emcee at the venue. She also has to comment on the poems, and the job of recording things is very simple, whoever is punished for drinking, will give wine to whomever he wants.
Xi corrects the work, that is, the punishment. It's troublesome, you have to have enough talent to make a review, otherwise you will just laugh and be generous.
In addition to talent and learning, you must also have quick wisdom, people drink too much, and there will be any situation. A good one must be able to handle all kinds of things perfectly.
So, why do you want to look for it? To be a prostitute that everyone knows, there is no simple one. can be imagined as Duzhi, and the hosts of live broadcasts in later generations can know their ability.
