Section 23: Wei Zheng's Discovery
A new day has begun, today is the grand occasion of Yun Ye's whole layout for a year, a thick nanmu was transported into Xinghuafang, bags of exquisite rice were carried into Xinghuafang, countless beautiful singers, handsome servants were transported into Xinghuafang, when several incense cars slowly drove into Xinghuafang, the crowd of onlookers suddenly boiled.
"Look, it's Guan Niangzi who is holding the pipa, but she can't see clearly with a veil, I heard that she was so fascinated that Ma Dashao sold her ancestral property and wanted to settle down for her, but she ended up with no people and money,"
"The one holding the sword box is the swordsman of the Gongsun family, ah, the third lady of his family has personally gone out, and Yunhou's two hundred and five must have paid a lot of money."
"Who is that blind man? How can the blind also come to join in the fun. As soon as a green skin finished saying this, the back of the head was slapped heavily by a master: "What a blind man, I think you are blind, that is Qin Weng, the first person to play the piano in Chang'an City" After speaking, he stroked his beard and said nostalgically: "A few years ago, there was an old friend in high school, who was sent to the field as an official, and the old man and others saw him off.
"My Aunt's breasts, the fox girl's legs, the Zhang family's ass, how many things did the old gentleman taste?" Qingpi was beaten not to be outdone, and when he heard that the master had been to Yanlai Tower, he opened his mouth to ridicule him, and the master was angry, which immediately caused chaos.
Xinghua Fang is not able to enter, much higher than other houses The walls of the workshop are full of iron thorns, and a few guards at the gate who are all draped in clothes look at the crowd indifferently and are silent, and everyone is crowded but does not dare to take a step forward.
A chubby steward came out with a smile and sang: "Neighbors." Today is a good day for the reopening of Xinghuafang, and the master of the house ordered to bring some small gifts to thank the neighbors, and please line up to be distributed by the servants of the family for everyone one by one. ”
Hear that there is such a good thing. The crowd suddenly changed from a slenderness to four slender rows, and the servants in Tsing Yi and small hats carried out several large bamboo baskets, each of which contained many small linen bags, and I don't know what they contained.
The green skin squeezed in the first place, stretched out his hand and waited to receive the gift, and the servant smiled and put his pocket in his hand, signaling that he could leave and leave the group. I couldn't wait to open the pocket, but found that there were a few small pieces of lotus leaves wrapped in it, and when I opened it, it was a piece of meat. It smelled very sweet, and when I threw it into my mouth, I found that it was really dry meat, with sweetness, umami, and a hint of saltiness. After chewing a few times, I found that the fragrance was rich without chewing once, and before I knew it, the meat in my hand was finished.
Look at the long line. It's a little depressed, why didn't I leave a little bit for my little sister with such a delicious thing. After returning to regret it, I pricked up my ears to hear what others had to say.
"It's air-dried beef. Good things, a pound costs a hundred yuan." Hearing others say this, Qingpi regretted it more and more, slapped a few times on his mouth, and thought of the disappointed smirk when the little sister didn't eat the beef, he was distressed, and couldn't go to the queue anymore, Qingpi couldn't afford to lose that person, and he drooped his head and prepared to go home, and he didn't even have the heart to look at the beauty.
Suddenly, someone patted him on the shoulder, but when he looked back, it was the fat steward, holding two small bags and stuffing them into his hands and saying: "Take it back to my younger brothers and sisters to taste, this is a special product on the grassland, we don't have it in Chang'an, killing cattle is to be punished, there are many people today, I can't give you too much, just taste it." After saying that, he patted Qingpi's shoulder again, and hurriedly ran back to distribute gifts to the others.
The hob meat that was beaten by the government for thirty boards and did not shed tears, only felt that his nose was sore, and the tears flowed out by himself, and he was afraid of being embarrassed to be seen, so he ran quickly to the house as soon as he lowered his head.
A few cows were sent out like this, He Shao didn't feel distressed at all, and watched the crowd gradually disperse with a smile, knowing that the famous snack of air-dried beef was about to become popular in Chang'an.
The forbidden army came, first like a wolf into a flock of sheep to surround everyone into small pieces, and then record the name, address, guarantor, etc., Gongsun Sanniang, who has seen the world, suddenly woke up, did he say that his majesty would come today? The mood changed from displeasure to excitement, and he turned back to the piano master and said: "Today's sword dance does not need a green waist, with the torrential rain, whether the name of the Gongsun family can be spread is tonight." ”
Guan Niangzi beside her looked at Gongsun Sanniang in disbelief, they were all peers, Gongsun Sanniang nodded to her, meaning that she knew it, Guan Niangzi immediately sat down cross-legged, and began to carefully adjust her pipa in the background, and also changed a string, and the fake nails wrapped in her hands also faded one by one, looking at the slender hand paper, painted with Kodan's nails, and did not borrow external force tonight.
In the evening, the servants brought a large basket of food, each of them a small lunch box, a bamboo tube, the lunch box is made of thin copper skin, there is a lotus pattern on it, at a glance it is from the master, each lotus is the same, the lunch box is the same.
From the glamorous Oiran to the lowliest maid, from the master of Hu Xuan to the coolie who carried the box, one for each person, without any distinction of treatment, a stout Hu man took the hand of the servant and said, "You will give me this?" The same as what coolies eat? ”
The servant smiled, dusted off Hu Ren's hand and said: "This is the rule of my family, eat this today, if it is not enough for you to speak, I will go and pretend to be some more for you, I want to eat something else, no, my Hou Ye eats all this, do you want to bring Hou Ye's rice plate to you to see"?
After speaking, he still smiled, ignored the Hu man, opened the lunch box for a little girl who didn't know how to eat these things, twisted the bamboo tube, told her that it was mash, and taught her how to use a spoon, without any impatience.
The meal is very delicious, this is relative, the large piece of braised pork is Gongsun Sanniang who ate it and praised it, the forbidden army did not expect that there would be their share, in order to be safe, the leader of the forbidden army specially ordered to divide into three sets of food, a box of lunch was eaten, a bamboo tube mash was drunk, and the dinner was over, and the servants brought the recliner to the person who was going to perform tonight, so that they could rest for half an hour, and they also separated the men and women, so as not to be inconvenient, this is the only special care that Gongsun Sanniang enjoyed.
There is no curfew in Chang'an City tonight, which Yun Ye worked hard to get. When the sun slowly sets down the West Mountain, an endless stream of carriages departs from various markets and gathers in Xinghuafang.
Because many people with their female dependents, along the way Yingying Yanyan laughed endlessly, faintly there was a dark fragrance floating, Chang'an City tonight is destined to be recorded in history, this is the first time since the founding of the Tang Dynasty to cancel the curfew on the night that is not the first day, the whole Chang'an seems to have become alive all of a sudden, all kinds of hawkers carry burdens, carry baskets, carry baskets to sell their things to passers-by, bearded people with beards draped blankets on their bodies, to show off how exquisite their carpets are to passing guests.
Li Er, who was standing at the gate of Taiji Palace, leaned over to look at Chang'an from afar, and found that Chang'an, which was lifeless and murderous before, had become lively, and the road was full of people, as if there was a river of lights flowing towards Xinghuafang.
This bastard is so imposing, it seems that tonight will definitely be a wonderful night, how lonely the emperor is, how can Li Er be an exception? The singing and dancing in the palace is extremely boring to watch alone, only in front of people he is the emperor who is high, and now there is a good show staged, how can he hold it.
The eldest grandson put on a cloak for him, and the autumn night was already a little cool, looking at the eldest grandson who was also wearing a cloak, Li Er held her left hand and said, "Yun Ye's invitation you agreed, now I will accompany you to the appointment, and see what the bastard can make tonight." ”
The eldest grandson Wan'er smiled, and plucked a yellow leaf brought by the evening breeze from Li Er's shoulder with his right hand before saying: "The concubine sincerely wishes him good luck tonight, a wide range of financial resources, and his wishes come true, and he will deceive all the people in the world." ”
Li Er laughed when he heard this, dragged his eldest grandson out of the Taiji Palace, he really wanted to see how those guys with fat brains suffered dumb losses and couldn't make a noise.
Wei Zheng came to Xinghuafang with his wife and son early, he just wanted to see how Yun Ye completed this trick, he was a mess in his mind now, he knew that Yun Ye would have means, he just couldn't guess what the trick was, but the old wife brought the family's savings tonight, she had long been optimistic about a small building in Xinghuafang, the Wei family was too dilapidated, and next year he would marry the eldest son Guiyu, the second son Zhongyu and the third son Shuyu were more talented than the eldest son, so Wei Zheng was unwilling to take the eldest son to attack the lord, so he had to compensate him more in terms of money.
Standing in the shadows and watching Yun Ye greet the VIPs with a smile, there was naturally a steward behind him who brought the VIPs to his box one by one, when he saw a large group of people in strange clothes appearing in Xinghuafang, Yun Ye's smile became even brighter, and he began to talk nonsense with a tall Hu man led by him, and when he saw this, Wei Zheng's heart relaxed.
From Yun Ye's smile level, you can roughly tell how he is going to treat tonight's guests, when the prince, the king of Wei, and the king of Shu came with a group of younger brothers and sisters, his face was full of disgust, it was obvious that these people did not bring him any wealth, but came to consume wealth, facing Cheng, Niu, Qin, and Wei Chi The four families were welcomed from the heart, and the smile was natural, Li Jing smiled weirdly when he came, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui muttered in their ears for a while when they came, it seemed that they were giving the truth, and as for the rest of the officials, he smiled very heartily and handsomely, Full of sincerity, in the end, those Hu businessmen were like seeing their father, respectful and warm, giving people the feeling that this was a hospitable host. As for seeing the merchant coming in and out from under the stairs, there was no smile in his eyes, only indifference and cruelty.
So Wei Zheng has reason to believe that the most unlucky person tonight will be Hu Shang, then it must be a businessman, and finally it will be an official, but I don't know how he will treat Li Jing, this is a difficult problem, but Li Jing has always been resourceful, the two will definitely have a fight, thinking of this, Wei Zheng is feverish, and he is looking forward to the auction as soon as possible.
