Chapter 52

Anxi Twenty-four will be sealed in Hanyuan Palace, a sensation in Chang'an, teahouses and restaurants are talking about this matter everywhere, talking about their achievements, especially Li Siye and Li Qing'an's names spread all over the city, they have a sword skill, an archery is unparalleled, and is known as the Anxi Double Tiger.

The Anxi army returned with a full load, everyone had a reward, even He Yanming was also named a captain, with a reward of three hundred taels of silver, but the happiest one was Han Jinping, he was different from other people's rewards, he was pardoned for the crime of exile, because he had a meritorious reputation, Li Longji took pity on him as a scholar to join the army, and was awarded the county order of Dantu County, with a reward of three hundred taels of silver, and allowed him to return to his hometown in fine clothes.

But unfortunately, the Anxi Jinyuan was burned, and it took time to build, so everyone had to find another place to live, but Li Linfu had already arranged for them to live in an empty house also located in Chongrenfang, which was originally a separate house of Wu Sansi, covering an area of nearly 100 acres, with more than a dozen courtyards of all sizes, but the most satisfying thing for Anxi Jun was that there was a polo field next to it, which could give them practice.

But today, everyone's mind is not on polo, they go out to do errands, Li Siye was invited by Jin Wuwei to teach Mo Dao knife technique, Duan Xiushi and Bai Yuanguang made an appointment to buy a house, Li Fei Yuanli has enough pockets, so he naturally indulges in the gentle hometown of Qinglou.

Li Qingan took He Yanming and Han Jinping to a restaurant in Dongshi, Han Jinping was going to return to his hometown the day after tomorrow, and Li Qingan wanted to practice it for him.

"General, I salute you for this glass of wine, if it weren't for you, I, Han Jinping, would still be in the fort for years, where would I be today."

Han Jinping picked up a glass of wine and saluted Li Qing'an, Li Qing'an raised his glass and drank it all, and said with a slight smile: "I thought you would be named a civilian officer of the Anxi Army, but I didn't expect you to be reassigned to the county order of Dantu County, old Han, fate is really wonderful!" ”

Next to him, He Yanming asked curiously: "Old Han, how far is Dantu County from your hometown?" ”

"It's not far, it's only more than 100 miles, and you can get there in a day by horseback, Xiaohe, do you want to go with me to have a look?"

"I want to go ......" He Yanming glanced at Li Qing'an, the key was whether this person was accurate or not.

Li Qingan stretched out his hand and slapped his scalp, and scolded with a smile: "You kid, don't dream, let me stay in Chang'an honestly." ”

Several young women at the adjacent table couldn't help laughing out loud when they saw He Yanming being beaten up, He Yanming lost face, touched the back of his head, and muttered in a low voice: "If you don't allow, you don't allow, why do you want to do it, I'm also a lieutenant." ”

"Oh! I forgot, you are General He now, General He, do you want me to give you another military salute? Li Qingan said with a smile.

If Li Qing'an scolded angrily, He Yanming was not afraid, but Li Qing'an's expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling made him feel worried for a while, he didn't dare to look at Li Qing'an's eyes, and whispered: "What General He, it sounds like calling someone else, or calling Xiaohe makes people feel down-to-earth." ”

"Humph! You also know what it means to be down-to-earth, and I will say to you one last time, no matter what official you are promoted or how many rewards you get, you still have to treat yourself as a team. ”

Han Jinping also patted He Yanming's arm and persuaded: "Xiao He, the general is for your own good, you are only nineteen years old today, and you have only been a soldier for three years, and you will become a captain, think about it, how many people will be red-eyed, and you don't have any father, brother and uncle are high-ranking officials in the army, and you rely on the general to protect you, if you don't know what to do and are arrogant, I'm afraid you will lose your official position and resign tomorrow." ”

He Yanming lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything, Li Qingan glanced at him, and said in a gentle tone: "We will practice from tomorrow, and your task is to take people to find out elsewhere and be familiar with the opponent's reality, do you know?" ”

"I see."

Li Qingan nodded, then raised his glass and said to Han Jinping: "Old Han, this glass of wine wishes you a safe journey, and I will reunite with my wife and children as soon as possible, and I hope we will have goodbye in the future." ”

Han Jinping also raised his glass and said, "I also wish the general to rise step by step and become the lord of Anxi as soon as possible." ”

.........

After drinking, Han Jinping went to the official department to go through the formalities, and Li Qingan returned to the residence with He Yanming, as soon as they arrived at the gate, the porter said loudly: "General Li, someone is looking for you, and I have been waiting for a long time." ”

I saw a middle-aged man dressed as a housekeeper standing on the steps, he ran down with a smile and said, "Excuse me, are you General Li Qingan?" ”

Li Qing'an had never seen this person, so he nodded and smiled: "I am Li Qing'an, I don't know if Your Excellency is ......"

"I am the housekeeper in the mansion of General Qianniuwei Dugu, and my lord admires General Li's prestige and ordered me to send an invitation card to General Li, asking General Li to appreciate the light."

Saying that, he respectfully handed the post to Li Qing'an, Li Qing'an took the post and looked at it, it was the general of Qianniuwei Dugu Shi who invited him to the mansion for a banquet tonight, Li Qingan couldn't help frowning, the Dugu family has been a Tang Dynasty nobleman for more than a hundred years, and his status is prominent, and although he is awarded the title of Qianniuwei Zhonglang General today, this is just an official title, in fact, it has nothing to do with Qianniuwei, what did he invite himself to eat?

Although he had doubts in his heart, Li Qingan still nodded and smiled: "Please tell General Dugu that I will definitely visit on time tonight." ”

"Okay, I'll go back, General Li, don't forget."

The housekeeper instructed a few words, then said goodbye and left, Li Qingan returned to the room, and was stunned for a while, he had never been a guest in the Tang Dynasty, he didn't know anything about the rules, but one thing was for sure, he couldn't come to the door empty-handed.

But what should I buy? Li Qing'an is very rich now, Gao Lishi got a reward of 1,500 yuan, and today he has received 3,000 taels of silver and 500 horses of silk, in the Tang Dynasty, this is a very rich man.

Li Qingan thought for a moment, it is best to have something special in Anxi, a sheep's head, it is not good to hold, and it will frighten children.

Glow-in-the-dark glass of grape wine, the wine seems to be a little out of hand, 'glow-in-the-dark glass,' yes! The jewelry in the Hezhong region is not only precious, but also a specialty of the Western Regions, which can also be bought in Chang'an and given to Dugushi's wife and daughter.

Li Qingan dragged out the wooden box to withdraw the money, at this time, he picked up a wooden box from the wooden box, this is the mysterious flame gem, he has been getting it for almost two years, and he has never known the bottom of this gem, will anyone in Chang'an know? I happened to be going to buy jewelry, so I asked someone who knows how to do it.

Li Qing'an took a few ingots of silver, and then rode to the East Market, although he had been to the East Market yesterday morning, but only at the door did not enter, today he entered this famous supermarket for the first time.

Due to its proximity to the three major interiors (Taiji Palace in the west, Daming Palace in the east, and Xingqing Palace in the south), there are many royal nobles and dignitaries in the surrounding squares, so the goods operated in the market are more high-quality luxury goods to meet the needs of the royal family and dignitaries.

The size of the East Market is equivalent to one square kilometer in later generations, there are four major roads in the east, west, north and south, which can be paralleled by several carriages, and things are gathered in kind, and there are many shops such as silk and satin, jewelry and jade, high-grade literature and ink, famous musical instruments, etc., and in the middle are government agencies, Chang Ping, the Municipal Bureau, and the Leveling and Quasi Office are lined up in turn, compared to the bustling and lively West Market, the East Market is slightly deserted, but still see the richly decorated carriages passing by from time to time.

After inquiring, Li Qingan came to the jewelry store gathering area in the northeast corner.
