When Zhang Zhang walked into the hall, he only saw Liu Yanan talking with a middle-aged man with a bulging chest. When I got closer, I found that the person was the Imperial Favorite Captain Hong who I met during the banquet at the Fangyuan Mansion some time ago. She was suddenly disappointed, but it was inconvenient to turn around and go back immediately, so she had to face Mrs. Hong Wanfu and say goodbye from afar. Lord Taiwei put a few strands of long beard under his chin, and his smile was a little reserved. When Zhang Zhang walked to his side, he arched his hand slightly and said, "Xia Guan came here today to invite the girls to the Money Lane Master's Mansion for a drink. ”

Zhang Zhang and Liu Yanan exchanged glances with each other, knowing that the opportunity had come. The teacher in Taiwei Hong's mouth must be the old friend of Zhao Ji of Song Huizong, and the famous master Li of the generation of Yanqi Gaoshu in the Great Song Dynasty. If it was only him who invited him, it would have been enough to send a servant. Since he came in person, he must have been sent by someone of a more honorable position than him. The long-awaited opportunity finally came in advance, and Zhang Zhang couldn't push off the date because of Sima Tai, so he could only turn around and tell Huaibi to go to the inner room to pick up the light cyan cloak and come out.

After a while, Zhang Zhang and Liu Yanan were invited to Taiwei Hong's ebony carving, and the top was decorated with a luxurious carriage decorated with eight treasures, and drove all the way from Zizhu Lane, a deep winding alley where they lived, to Master Li's mansion in Qian Lane. In the car, Zhang Zhang said to Yanan in lip language, it is entirely possible to meet Song Huizong, no matter how ridiculous he is, he is also the emperor who holds great power. Therefore, my sister must not speak recklessly, so as not to cause trouble and cause big things.

Liu Yanan didn't reply with lips, only winked mischievously, meaning "I know, long-winded!" ”

Master Li's family lives in the middle of Yanhuo Willow Lane and Money Lane. There is a hill in the back, and there is flowing water in the front, which is also a very elegant place in the Great Song Dynasty. Shi Shi was originally the daughter of Wang Yin, a dyer in Bianliang City, and her father died in prison when she was four years old, and she was displaced from the streets. Later, Li Yun adopted the teaching workshop as an adopted daughter, and invited a famous teacher to train her, not only slim and elegant, but also poetry and songs, all of which are fine. It is to move the capital with fame, high-ranking officials and giants, all of whom are drunk with thousands of dollars.

Later, by chance, under the recommendation of the internal attendant Zhang Di, he met Zhao Ji, the son of the Great Song Dynasty, and was worth a thousand times and became the first player in the Great Song Dynasty. Because of his special identity, he has become the object of everyone's competition to auction horses and get acquainted.

When I arrived at Master Li's mansion, the spring sun in the afternoon was bright and warm, gilding the willows, grass, stone tables and stone benches, and houses on her mansion with a layer of golden light. Mother Li greeted her with a smile when she was far away, and the pearls and emeralds on her head also trembled. first blessed Mrs. Hong, and then greeted the two girls, with a pair of shrewd and exposed eyes, just looking the two of them up and down awkwardly. The expression was clearly not looking at people, but more like looking at the strange goods to be treated. Zhang Zhang just returned it, just pursed his mouth and walked; Yanan turned his eyes into two sharp arrows and shot at the bustard.

Mother Li couldn't stand Liu Yanan's glare, showed a slightly embarrassed smile, pointed ahead, and stayed where she was. Taiwei Hong bowed slightly, and led the two into a back garden where flowers were in full bloom. Liu Yanan's eyes were sharp, and he saw a woman in white in the octagonal pavilion playing the piano from a distance, and a man in Chinese clothes stood in front of several cases, holding a jasper Xiao, blowing like a lonely smoke in the desert, and the sun set over the long river.

When Zhang Zhang walked to the front, the sound of the piano and flute in the pavilion could not stop. Song Huizong and the woman in white looked at Zhang Zhang and them with their eyes. Song Huizong's imperial appearance was leaked. Not to mention that he is the only man here, even if he is in the middle of thousands of people, he can still perceive his unique bearing and brilliance at a glance.

Master Li stood up and smiled at Zhang Zhang and them, and it was really beautiful. She stepped out of the court, like a jade butterfly wearing flowers and willows, and stepped forward to hold Zhang Zhang and the others and pulled them into the pavilion. Master Li pointed to Song Weizong and introduced the two with a smile, saying that this was a famous master Waijia in Bianliang City. Recently, I heard the names of the two girls being recited everywhere, and I was thirsty. It happened that Taiwei Hong was here, talking about the two girls, and my sister was curious for a while, and she also wanted to meet the two girls. Therefore, I took the liberty of asking the girls to forgive their sins. Zhang Zhang and Liu Yanan looked at each other and smiled. Shuangshuang gave a deep blessing to Song Huizong, who called himself a Jia merchant. Song Huizong was also humble and polite, and actually gave the two of them a return salute.

The maids who came from nowhere brought out a dozen trays at once, and in an instant a round table in the gazebo was full. It was all a variety of exquisite snacks and snacks at that time, and finally, it was a small tea tray with wood hibiscus fancy carved lacquer filled with gold and two dragons grabbing pearls, and a set of Ru kiln small cover clocks were placed in it, and it was the best product at a glance. It is simple and generous in shape, glazed with precious agate, and has a unique color. With the change of light, look at its glaze color, just like "rain over the sky and clear clouds**", "thousands of peaks and blue waves and emerald color" wonderful, the soil is fine, its glaze is thick and the sound is like a chime, bright but not dazzling. The surface of the vessel is a small opening piece of cicada wing pattern, which has the characteristics of "pear skin, crab claw, sesame flower", and is called "like jade, non-jade, and better than jade" by the world.

Zhang Zhang held the cup in his hand, played with it carefully, lowered his head and tasted the tea, and said with a smile: "This tea set is a rare product in the world at first glance, like a royal treasure and tribute, and it is definitely not something that ordinary rich and noble families can have." This shows my sister's extraordinary. This tea should be a new tea brewed from the snow water of the old year? The teacher was surprised: "Sure enough, yes." The tea set is a gift from the officials of the dynasty, which is said to be a fine Ru porcelain rewarded by the emperor; This water is the snow water I collected on the plum blossoms in the garden last winter, and I collected a vase. Usually reluctant to take out the fried water to drink, today is a distinguished guest, especially to take out the hospitality. I didn't expect the girl to taste it as soon as she tasted it, and it was extraordinary, so I think it had some origins. ”

Liu Yanan also glared at her big round eyes, and said strangely: "Sister Zhang, how do you know so much?" Can you even drink snow water to make tea? How do I drink about the same amount of tap water as I do? I just think the taste is slightly lighter. Zhang Zhang kicked Liu Yanan with her foot at the bottom, and she realized that she had just accidentally spoken modern language. So he immediately shut up and drank from the cow. Zhang Zhangcai replied: "Snow water is clearer to drink than all water, and the taste is lighter, like snowflakes floating on the lips and tongue, and it feels different from drinking rainwater and well water." ”

Song Huizong couldn't help but applaud, saying that today really lived up to the trip and met two strange women. Zhang Zhang only lowered his head slightly, smiled, and said no more. But Liu Yanan said quickly: "Actually, we are not worth the trip today, we have met such a noble person as you!" ”

Huizong said: "A certain is just an ordinary businessman, and he has a little money in his hands." I don't know how the girl judged that a certain person is a nobleman? ”
