Chapter Twenty-Four: Marrying a Wife Should Marry Yin Lihua

After this day, Wang Mang, the founding emperor of the new dynasty, seemed to be a different person. At the beginning of the establishment of the new dynasty, although there were constant internal and external troubles, the emperor was also diligent, and under his hard work, there was no major problem.

However, from this day on, Wang Mang only mixed with some monks every day. These monks continued to bless Wang Mang's practices, and Wang Mang often did not go to court for half a month in January. It was only half a year later that the situation in the new DPRK had already eroded before it had stabilized.

At that time, dozens of large and small forces such as Red Eyebrows, Green Forests and Bronze Horses had already taken shape, and two of the rebellions had become momentum, Liu Xuan of the Liu clan, the Green Forest Army of the Liu Xiu brothers and the Red Eyebrow Army of Fan Chong of Langya had already conquered several counties. The imperial court sent troops to requisition several times and returned defeated, and in a few months, more than a dozen counties of the new dynasty have been returned to Green Forest and Red Eyebrow.

Even at this time, Wang Mang was still obsessed. On the contrary, he began to indulge in the prayers of the monks more and more, but although the new emperor did not care, his crown prince could not hold his breath. really responded to what Wu Mian said at the beginning, at the beginning of the fourth year of the emperor, the crown prince of the new dynasty rebelled in the palace. It's a pity that he was reported for not acting secretly, and he committed suicide after the defeat.

The death of the crown prince sounded the death knell for the new dynasty, and from this day on, almost every day the county was captured by the enemy. And Wang Mang was unmoved, and soaked in the monk pile almost every day. Every two or three days, I pray to the heavens for blessings, and meet the first and fifteenth days of the new year or the birthday of the god in the sky. This court had to stop everything, and the emperor of the new dynasty personally brought hundreds of civil and military officials to pray for blessings together.

In order to show his piety in praying for blessings, Wang Mang began to eat vegetarian diets from the day of prayer. He himself is not considered a vegetarian, and he also specially issued an order requiring the officials and people of the entire Chang'an City not to kill and eat meat. Every day, they sent detectives to the streets and alleys to investigate, and if they encountered people who killed and ate meat, they were executed on the spot.

As a result, the large and small wine shops in Chang'an City and the homes of ordinary people have cut off the meat. Although there is still wine to sell in the wine store, you can't drink it with vegetables and radishes, and you can't drink the taste of alcohol. The two monsters held back the fire for this, and they didn't have to drink too much in the first few days, and Bai Wuqiu had already hugged Xiao Rensan and scolded the street everywhere.

Later, Bai Wuqiu and Xiao Ren San learned well, and the two monsters no longer went out to drink. First they bought ten jars and eight jars of good wine from the winery, and then they didn't know where to get some live chickens and sheep. He gave it to the cook at home, slaughtered and cooked it, and then used it for wine.

On several occasions, the aroma of fat sheep cooked here alarmed the government officials, and more than a dozen fierce officials wanted to come in to get people. was beaten out by Bai Wuqiu and scolded, if it weren't for the housekeeper to stop him, at least most of these officials would have to stay here. Later, the people of Tingwei Yamen inquired about the details of Wu Mian and knew that they were friends of the new emperor Hongren Yan Zheng. I could only endure this breath, and then avoided the house when patrolling the streets.

One day after that, he wandered around the streets during the day, and when he returned, he came back with a dead dog like a calf. When he returned, he threw the dead dog into the kitchen. Tell the cook to stew a big pot and use this dog meat to drink wine at night.

After a short time, the cook put the cleaned up dog meat into the pot. After the soup boiled, the aroma of dog meat could be smelled in half of Chang'an City. Seeing that the dog meat was about to be cooked, Bai Wuqiu and Xiao Rensan had already poured a lot of wine. When he was drooling and about to ask Wu Mian to come out to drink and eat meat together, someone outside the gate said, "Good meat!" Good wine! Unexpectedly, in the huge Chang'an City, only here can you smell the aroma of wine and meat. I don't know if the host is hospitable, can he share me with a bowl of meat soup and wine. I'll be sure to pay more for wine when the time comes......"

"No hospitality! Here is also the rich man, not bad for your two money! Hearing that the person outside the door had the intention of coming in to beg for food, Xiao Rensan's brows furrowed at that moment. This little guy is still a child's heart to protect food, and a few days ago because of the last bite of chicken and Bai Wuqiu had a big fight. In the end, under its sprinkling and rolling, the last chicken and even the meat with soup went down to the stomach of this ginseng doll.

Now that he heard the idea of someone beating this dog meat and wine, Xiao Rensan naturally refused to inquire. But just as it was encouraging Bai Wuqiu to scold the street and scold the man at the door away, the man outside the door continued: "The smell of meat is good, but the smell of alcohol is a little worse." The smell of this wine dispersed when it caught the wind, and it still fell into the lower grade. It's a pity that such a delicacy is not accompanied by good wine......"

These jars of wine were all drunk by Xiao Rensan one by one in the winery in Chang'an City, and the entire Chang'an City was picked out by him. If this is not a good wine, then it cannot be called wine in other sake shops.

Hearing someone talking about the lack of good wine of his choice, the little one's anger came out. didn't care about the dog meat out of the pot at the moment, Xiao Rensan scolded loudly at the person outside: "Fart!" Fart! We ginseng know you want to come in and get wine and meat, phew! Just smell it outside the door and satisfy your cravings! I'll give you dog bones in a moment - huh? What does it taste like...... Good smell of wine......"

Xiao Rensan scolded for a while, and suddenly a strange smell of wine wafted in from outside the door. Xiao Rensan's saliva involuntarily flowed to the ground, and then, he heard the man outside the door say: "I brought a jar of wine from my hometown, if the master here doesn't dislike it, how about we taste wine together?" ”

After this person's words were finished, Xiao Rensan staggered to the door as if he had lost his soul. Before the butler came, he had already opened the door. And I saw a young man in his early twenties standing at the door, holding in his hand a jar of wine with the clay sealed, and the strange aroma wafted out of the jar.

"Bring such a good wine, don't you say it earlier" Xiao Ren snatched the wine jar in his arms, and the little guy put his nose to the edge ......of the wine jar. After taking a deep breath, his face was full of intoxication. At that moment, the little guy couldn't control himself, so he took a sip of the wine jar first. Then the little eyes immediately narrowed, and the face instantly flushed. Just a sip was a little drunk, and then he turned back to the young man who was still standing at the door and said, "For the sake of your good wine, divide your two pieces of meat......

At that moment, the young man followed Xiao Rensan in, and together with Bai Wuqiu, they made a dog meat pot. After taking a sip of the wine brought by this person, the second stunned man also exclaimed again and again. Even Wu Mian, who was still in the house, was shocked, and he couldn't imagine that the aroma of this wine was so strong.

At this time, the dog meat was just right, and Bai Wuqiu and Xiao Rensan didn't care about asking that person's name. took the dishes and chopsticks directly, regardless of humility, and directly fished the meat from the pot. The two monsters took a sip of dog meat and a sip of wine, and in the blink of an eye, they were sweating profusely from eating and drinking.

And the young man didn't seem to know what the word polite was, so he asked for dishes and chopsticks from the housekeeper at the moment, and he didn't regard himself as an outsider at all, so he scooped up the hot dog meat to eat and scaled it straight to his mouth, and still stuffed the dog meat into his mouth one by one. Wu Mian stood in his room, watching this young man eat and drink as fast as the two monsters. At that moment, there was a rare smile on the corner of his mouth that was not a sneer or mockery.

Although Bai Wuqiu brought back a big dog of forty or fifty pounds, it couldn't withstand their way of eating. It didn't take long for only a little residual soup and leftover dog bones to be left in a pot of dog meat, and slowly a jar of wine bottomed out at this time. The young man, Bai Wuqiu and Xiao Ren touched their bulging bellies, and the two demons looked at each other and laughed "haha" almost at the same time.

Bai Wuqiu glanced at the dog bones in the pot, and said with the strength of the wine: "If you eat meat, you have to eat dog meat" Xiao Rensan, whose face was flushed, smiled, and then continued with the words of the second stunned: "If you drink wine, you must drink good wine." ”

After the young man drank the last sip of wine in the wine jar, he suddenly burst out laughing, and finally said: "When you marry a wife, you should marry Yin Lihua......"
