Chapter 63: Natsei
The news of peace with the barbarians circulated in the streets and alleys of the capital, and the people talked about it as well, with those who were worried, those who doubted, and those who were opposed, but more of them were full of joy.
"It's finally time to negotiate peace, the last time I fought with that barbarian, I donated ten copper coins. As a result, it was still the same after three years of fighting. ”
In a small teahouse on North Street, a middle-aged man in an azure cotton short coat sat at the innermost table, and sighed to his friend next to him.
"Isn't it? How many years of fighting with the barbarians have no result, it is simply a waste of money and labor. ”
When the people at the table next to him heard it, they also turned their heads as if they were in the fun, smacking their lips and shaking their heads and sighing, quite worried about the country and the people.
There was a sudden commotion on the street, and the people sitting in the teahouse couldn't help but stretch their necks to look at the street, only to see seven or eight young men galloping through the street on horseback, and the one headed by the one with his hair tied up high with a golden crown and wearing a big red gold python fox armpit arrow sleeve was Lu Zhen, the youngest son of the Lu family.
"What's going on?"
A middle-aged man in a brown robe in the teahouse wondered.
"You're afraid you're a guest from out of town, aren't you?"
An old man sitting at the next table looked him up and down and asked with a smile.
"yes."
The middle-aged man looked surprised and said in his mouth.
"It is not uncommon for these young men in Beijing to run on the street twice in three days. When I saw the surprised look on the guest's face, I knew that you had come to Beijing from outside. ”
When the old man saw him admit it, he stroked his beard with some smugness and smiled.
"Look at this look, what are these young men proud of again?"
There was another person from Beijing next to him who answered with a smile.
Everyone in the teahouse temporarily forgot to talk about the peace between Dayan and the barbarians, and laughed and talked about the anecdotes that the outstanding young men in the capital had done.
on North Street.
"Brother Zhen, why are you in a hurry to run back?"
A slender and long-faced young man behind Lu Liu rode his horse tightly to follow him, waving the whip in his hand vigorously while shouting at him in confusion.
Another teenager was also a little annoyed and shouted at Lu Liu: "I'm still training polo, and I don't know what your little guy told you, so he rode his horse and ran away right away!" ”
"My sister is going to be married!"
Lu Liu didn't look back at them, only laughed loudly. Then the whip in his hand was thrown sharply, and the horse under his crotch let out a long neigh, and the wind under his hooves galloped forward.
…………
Yongfeng Lane.
The main gate of the Lu Mansion was wide open, and Steward Wang stood in front of a pair of mighty stone lions with a smile on his face, and quite respectfully welcomed the dressed Zhang Shen Jiang's lady and the servants of the Qin family who followed her into the mansion.
Lu Yushi and Mrs. Lu were waiting in the lobby, only to see the lady of the general's family Xiao Yingying led everyone in, only to see that she was combed with a gold silk eight treasures beaded bun on her head, a sunrise colorful phoenix hanging bead hairpin, and she was wearing a red Baizi blessing carved gold silk gown, and an oil green plate gold embroidered cotton skirt.
Behind him were more than a dozen neatly dressed juniors, all of whom were twenty years old and the same size, wearing the clothes of the servants of the Qin Mansion. And they carried or held wooden boxes or plates in their hands, and they were covered with large red cotton cloths. One by one, they stood upright in the hall, their eyebrows and eyes were shining, obviously carefully selected.
"Pour tea for Mrs. Zhang."
Mrs. Lu was full of smiles, and while inviting the lady of the general's family to take a seat, she commanded the big girl Mingzhu behind her.
"Congratulations to the old lady, I got a good family affair that is unique in a thousand miles!"
The lady's slightly rich round face was with a festive smile on it, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and she said congratulations.
He turned his head again and glanced at the Qin family servant who was the leader. The servant of the Qin family smiled brightly, stepped forward slightly, and said in a loud voice: "Wanfu, old lady, this is a gift from our family, please take a look at it." ”
After he solemnly saluted Lu Yushi and Mrs. Lu, he turned around with a smile, and lifted the red cloth on the wooden plate one by one while walking slowly.
Lu Yushi and Mrs. Lu both looked intently, only to see that the descendant who was standing at the head was holding a large wooden plate in his hand, and a pair of white-fronted geese were placed in the plate, with smooth body lines, rich feathers, and a circle of snow-white fluff on his forehead was very eye-catching.
Lu Yushi couldn't help but glance at Mrs. Lu secretly, and the look of satisfaction in his eyes couldn't be hidden.
Then I took a closer look at several other things, and saw that there was a lamb, a bottle of wine, millet and rice flour, a hundred flowers and fairy dew cake, royal jelly, rouge jade jelly, hibiscus crispy and other desserts and pastries, a total of ten products, silk, jewelry and other treasures were eight each.
Lu Tang, who was hiding behind the screen, turned red, and only felt that his heart was pounding, forcing himself to be a little out of breath.
Listening to the lady outside the screen and smiling and asking her parents for her name, Nian Geng and eight characters, I couldn't help but feel like a fire under my feet, and the "buzzing" sound in my ears, and I couldn't hear anything else.
