Chapter 127: Little Days
In the past, the embankment burst was a natural disaster, but this time it is **, and the official family must be angry. After learning about the inside story, the officials were also furious and demanded that the responsible persons be severely punished. The Jia Xianggong who was in the Daimyo's Mansion was even more riveting, wanting to overturn the two Xianggong in one fell swoop.
In a word, the sky above the court is cloudy, and there will inevitably be a life-and-death fight.
However, all of this has nothing to do with Chen Ke, Shanghukou burst the embankment, washing away not only the thousands of innocent soldiers and civilians, tens of thousands of materials for flood fighting, but also the little bit of worry about the country and the people that he has just been cultivated by Wang Fang, Chen Xiliang and Ouyang Xiu for more than ten years.
Although he said how to live a life before, the Confucian education he received all the year round still brought his thoughts to the path of traditional scholars, and if everything went well, he would become another scholar doctor who took 'self-cultivation and Qi family to rule the country and level the world' as his own responsibility. From now on, there is no Chen Sanlang in the world, there is only a bureaucrat named Chen Ke and a scholar named Chen Zhongfang, that's all.
But now, Chen Ke felt his insignificance, he felt that he couldn't change anything at all, so he had to change, and from then on, he was relaxed, only lived his life wonderfully, and came to the happiest era of the Chinese people in vain...... Isn't that great?
Even if he despises the officials and ministers, Chen Kehao has to admit that living in this civilized country is a blessing for the grass people.
As a city dweller, it is a great blessing in the world. When he came to Bianjing, he learned that it was windy and rainy, and the big families of the government had distributed relief, and often at the end of the year, the imperial court would suddenly waive your rent, and he heard that Zhao Kuangyin wanted to expand his residence, so he negotiated with the residents north of the palace. But the residents were reluctant to move out, so there was the smallest palace in history. It is equivalent to the government of the festival envoy of the year...
The name of the weak Song Dynasty is worthy of its name, not only weak externally, but also weak internally.......

When Chen Ke woke up again, he found that there was no one in the house and it was still bright. He called and heard a female voice respond, and after a while, Lan Pei, the maid of the Cao family who stayed in the Chen family, came in and said with a smile: "Young master is up?" ”
“……。” Chen Ke said with a smile: "Sister Pei will become my mother-in-law another day, so call me San Lang." "Zhipo is the meaning of father's little wife.
Na Lan Pei is also in his early twenties, and he was born handsome, and when he heard this, he blushed and said, "I haven't even scratched the eight characters." ”
"Hey, my father, it's really good except for the boring point, don't dislike it......" Chen Ke wanted to go to the ground, but couldn't find his shoes: "What about my shoes." ”
"It's mud inside and out, and it's worn out." Lampey put a pair of new black satin and double-beam leather trimmed fast shoes in his hand, put them at his feet and said, "Change to a pair of the same style." ”
"Hmm." Chen Ke stepped on his feet and felt that it was really very fit, and couldn't help but nod with satisfaction: "Sister Pei's craftsmanship is really good." ”
"Slaves don't have the craft." Lampey said with a smile while fetching water for him: "Yesterday, I took San Lang's shoes to the Majia boot store and asked them to copy a pair."
"The capital is Fangqi", Chen Ke took the toothbrush and sighed: "Even the toothbrush is better than ours." When Chen Ke was in Qingshen, he used a horsetail toothbrush tied to a bamboo chopstick, dipped in green salt to brush his teeth, like brushing a wall, which was quite unpleasant.
The toothbrush used in Bianjing City has a slender bone handle, a thread at the tail that is easy to hold, and a total of eight pores in two rows on the head, which is strikingly similar to the standard health care toothbrush of later generations, with twelve pores in two rows. The planted hairs are also moderately soft and hard, and it is very comfortable to brush your teeth.
And Bianjing doesn't use green salt, but tooth powder bought from a toothbrush shop. Chen Ke can taste it, and the main one is Sophora sophora, which is definitely good for his teeth...... Or, the men and women of Bianjing City can everyone have a mouthful of white and neat teeth?
After serving him to wash, Lan Pei was about to cook, but was stopped by Chen Ke and said, "No need, I went out for a walk, why can't I fill my stomach?" "I have to go back to Taixue tomorrow, and I haven't enjoyed a free life yet.
Lan Pei carefully told him which family's noodles were great, and which family's smoked doves were a must, and Chen Kezhi mourned for his father, and he didn't want to ...... his ears in the future.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Out of the house, the sun was very good outside, Chen Ke took a deep breath, what a strong breath of life,...
In the previous days, his heart was pressed by the Liuta River, and he was not interested in anything. Now that the chest is in it, the world is cute again.
On the street, the shouts of red men and green women and one after another soon made him forgetful. From time to time, his eyes fell on those girls who showed up, most of them were the daughters of shops on both sides of the street, tall figures, bulging breasts, straight buttocks, looking energetic and wild, the eyes were bold and hot, and they were by no means as shy as the little jasper in Jiangnan; is bigger than the hot Sichuan girl:
"North
The rouge and the beauty of the south are really very different! Chen Ke couldn't help but have his eyes shining.
"Little official, seeing that your face is flushed, come to my house to drink a cup of cold dew soup, quench your thirst, bring cold, and add roses and sugar." A girl's head poked out of a tea shop, and a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl looked at him with big eyes flashing and grinning, and her voice was sweet and crisp: "Don't believe it? Come in and have a taste of ....... It made the girls in the shops across the street giggle.
Chen Kedeng laughed and said, "I'm hungry, do you have anything to eat at home?" ”
"Of course, there are all kinds of refreshments, meat and vegetables, everything is delicious...... mile of food." When the girl saw him stop, she tried harder and harder: "Little brother, come in and try it!" ”
Chen Ke looked at her delicate face and youthful body unscrupulously, and said with a smile: "Taste it." ”
The girl dragged her into the store and sat down at a table facing the street. Chen Ke instructed: "If you are good, come up, don't want tea, give me a bowl of porridge." The girl knew that she had met Caidong, so she smiled and squinted, nodded happily, and said, "Okay." ”
The girl turned to the back kitchen, and an agent came over, carrying a large tray with stacks of cold dishes. What mustard melons, pickles, apricot slices, lettuce shoots, mustard melons, and fine distillations, a total of eight dishes are distributed on the table.
It didn't take long for the girl to return with a tray. Resting it on the edge of the table, he put a plate of snacks in front of Chen Ke, and said crisply: "Crab dumplings, goose fat rolls, hemp curd chicken skin, shrimp and apple soup...... These are eight straight tea foods.
The food in Beijing is still fine and varied, and when idlers go to the restaurant, they all get more than a dozen plates. Although each plate is small and fine, you can't finish it either.
The girl brought another porridge, lifted the lid, scooped a bowl of hot fragrant rice and shredded pork porridge, and said with a smile: "Official, please use it slowly." ”
"But I don't need it." Chen Ke said with a smile.
"Why?"
"It's not used to being alone."
"Then, the slave called a singer for the official."
"Don't bother, just talk to me." Chen Ke took out a dime of silver and said, "Don't delay your business, right?" ”
"The slave can't wait for it." The girl sat on the machine on his side, spit out her little tongue and said, "I'm taking the opportunity to be lazy." ”
Chen Ke was served by a pretty little girl, tasted a shrimp dumpling, drank a mouthful of porridge, and felt so comfortable.
He is an authentic gourmet, and he realizes that every dish has merits, and he can't help but be surprised: "This is all your cooking?" ”
"It seems that the official is returning to Beijing for the first time." The little girl smiled: "The tavern tea shop in Bianjing City does not have a saying that foreign dishes are not entered." On this table, only the goose fat rolls and hemp rotten chicken skin belong to my family, and the rest are bought by slaves from neighbors. And the homo economicus brought it. "The so-called broker is a buddy who brings homemade food and sells it in other people's stores.
So you can eat a wide variety of food in any restaurant and tea shop in the Song Dynasty..., one of the most extreme examples is from Chen Ke's hometown. It is said that a Sichuan Juzi surnamed Yu traveled thousands of miles to the capital to take the exam, but he did not get the first place. There was no money to go back to Sichuan, so he was ready to eat a good meal of jumping Jin Mingchi and commit suicide. So take care of Xiao Er's good work, and only take care of it. As a result, the bartender brought all kinds of fresh fruits and seafood, and he ate them from noon to evening.
It costs five taels of silver to settle the bill, how can there be money to settle the account? I had to work as a bookkeeper in a restaurant for two months, and I couldn't afford to commit suicide anymore.
"Yes, it's the first time I've come back to Beijing." Chen Ke smiled a little awkwardly: "What's your name?" ”
"How can a girl from a small family have a name?" The little girl said a little gloomily: "There is a nickname for people to call, called Ah Xiang." ”
"Ah Xiang......" Chen Ke snorted and said with an intoxicated face: "People are as their name suggests." Said with a smile and said, "Have you promised someone?" ”
"There's no hurry." Ah Xiang said with a smile: "My mother is looking for a proper big family, and she plans to let me do it for three years before marrying ......, and everyone says that my appearance does not need to be a maid, I can be a concubine." ”
"Uh..." Chen Ke was surprised: "Seeing that your family is not poor? "Why should you be a concubine?
"I have learned decency in three years, and when I come back to marry a good family, my children and grandchildren will be used." Ah Xiang smiled and asked, "The official is a scholar, right?" ”
"Ahh,...h Be. ”
"Why don't you talk to my parents?" Ah Xiang immediately looked adoring and said, "I'll ...... with you." ”
"Well, I haven't married yet." Chen Ke is sweating, his heart says that this is too unreserved, right?
"That's it," ,..." Ah Xiang said in disappointment: "I'm afraid I can't wait for the official to marry a wife." ”
There will be another chapter...... (To be continued)
