Chapter 92: Students of the Tang Dynasty (I)
At dusk, several large pots of beef and beef bones were stewed for most of the day, only to make the meat fragrant before and after the palace, leading a large group of sparrows to rise and fall in the house.
"I have to go back, I don't want to run into your second daughter." Lan Ling leaned against the door frame of the study and said goodbye to me a little unwillingly, and there seemed to be a hint of reluctance in his quiet eyes, "Can I give away the recipe for stewed meat and soup after I take it?" ”
"What you give, love to send to whomever to whom. Those who don't say hello have sent so much, what are you doing for this recipe? "Whenever this time, I am also reluctant, but I still pretend to be very manly to say goodbye to Lanling," the soft chair then asked someone to pull it over for you, come over early tomorrow morning, and leave your stomach for breakfast. I'll bring you a few pieces of cooked beef, and I'll leave while it's dawn, I'll worry about it late. ”
"I don't mention the previous ones. From now on, whatever I get from you, if you don't nod your head, I'll let it rot in my stomach and give it to no one. Speaking of this, Lan Ling smiled mischievously, leaned in front of me and whispered: "It's not to protect your knowledge, it's to protect your thoughts about me." With your recipe, I am afraid that I will have to drop some cattle in the future, maybe there will be cattle on my Zhuangzi and break their legs. ”
"What's on your mind?" My tiger body was shocked, the leopard's eyes widened, and the aura of the king suddenly appeared, "What are you talking about?" Don't hurry up and go! What are you waiting for me to pick up? "But I can't help but lament for those innocent old scalpers, I am a sinner who eats my own family and harms other people.
"Hehe....." Lan Ling's delicate body trembled, her eyes were like silk, and she smiled, "Hard mouth, send me out." I am in a hurry to get rid of the concubine every day, and I have no conscience. ”
As soon as Lanling's car left, the second daughter's convoy returned. The little girl's faction is not what it used to be, the six longitudinal horses accompanying the courtyard, behind is Mr. Hu's special car, the four maids sit in the middle of the carriage at any time to listen to the call, the two daughters' vermilion luxury carriage front of the road, majestic, morning and evening commuting has become a landscape on the palace.
As the flower water workshop is getting bigger and bigger, and the family's income is increasing, Ying spares no expense to rebuild the family's means of transportation, and the statement of cost performance has long been forgotten. A family of three, a special car for one person, a water of good wood to build, the appearance of the majestic and majestic, the light paint brushed eight times, how comfortable how to come inside, what soft collapse, carpet, can be installed all to install, the curtain is replaced with agate beads tassels, the horses pulling the car are all handsome, do not choose the strong. Anyway, the title of the prince is qualified to drive two horses, and the reason for using a single horse earlier was because he was poor, but now he has a little money, and he can't say anything about it. If Ying's car driver pulled out, I am afraid that the county lord of Qi would be embarrassed to greet her.
The housekeeper Qian, who didn't appear when he sent Lanling away, came out at the same time when the second daughter's carriage stopped in front of the palace, full of words: The second lady is tired, pay attention to your body, don't be tired to the point of Yunyun, with an ugly face, I was dumbfounded. But this sycophant is very effective, and the second daughter with a tired face will immediately be radiant, and her small appearance is incomprehensible.
Seeing that I was at the door, the second daughter ran over like it, and immediately changed the delicate posture of the bird, and stood next to me obediently.
Hu Ledger came over and arched his hand at me, "I've seen the little marquis." ”
"Mr. Hu has worked hard, how is the papermaking workshop recently?" He Hu Shufang entered the door with gossip, "Didn't suffer any trouble, did you?" ”
"How else to say that the little marquis is powerful," Hu was fascinated by the aroma of beef as soon as he entered the courtyard, and sniffed vigorously, "Since you negotiated with Her Royal Highness the princess, no one in the workshop dares to mess with flowers, and they are all honest." The female shopkeeper now has no previous temper, and it is estimated that she was choked by Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”
"That is, now our Wang family is not as good as before," the money housekeeper on the side picked up the topic, and Pegasus patted it, "The prestige of the little marquis is well known to passers-by, and the people who make things difficult for our Wang family are afraid that they have not yet been born." When Her Royal Highness got up early, she greeted the old man, and Her Royal Highness now knows my surname Qian. "As a housekeeper who has a direct relationship with the royal family, the old face of the old money and the oily old face bloomed happily, and he didn't notice the cold face of the second daughter suddenly pulled down.
"What does it smell like?" As soon as Hu came in, he was searching for the source of the taste, "The people who smell it are hungry, what kind of tricks does Lao Qian do?" ”
The second daughter tugged at my sleeve and nodded, indicating that she was also hungry.
The second daughter is a blessed person, and she came back at the right time, and the soup is fragrant and the meat is rotten. I instructed: "Uncle Qian, you take Mr. Hu to dinner, just the way we eat at noon, ask the maid to send a few cakes to the back house, or three big bowls." ”
Steward Qian heard that I had the intention of opening a meal, and pulled the unexplained Hu account room with a red face to take the order, and three sea bowls soon appeared on the table in the back house.
Ying leaned on the kang and drank hawthorn water, said that she wouldn't eat anything, and helped the second daughter break more than half a bowl, and was afraid that the second daughter would hurt herself, so she grabbed a few handfuls of broken ones and put them into my bowl, "Let the kitchen pour more soup and drink more." The husband is afraid that you will grow slowly, and he will feed you like food all day long. As he spoke, he pulled the second daughter into his arms, "I ate fine skin and tender meat in a few days." You say, what were you doing crawling around on the kang last night? ”
The second daughter was exposed by Ying to the privacy of the quilt nest at night, and rolled into Ying's arms in shame, and kicked her feet on the legs of the kang table. I coughed a few times awkwardly on the side, and hurriedly put on my shoes and got off the kang, "I asked the maid to bring the steamed buns, what else do you two want?" After saying that, he quickly wanted to flee the scene.
"Wait a minute," Ying called me to stop, "Husband, the concubine is hungry, you take the second daughter to the yard to eat, don't hook the people uncomfortable." ”
The second daughter didn't wait for Ying to finish speaking, and if she was released, she quickly escaped from the house with me, and Ying laughed proudly behind her.
In the courtyard, my second daughter and I can finally squat and eat steamed buns, which is cool! The second daughter also wanted to follow my example, but in front of the bowl bigger than her head, she tried several times without success, and regretfully gave up. I could only sit on the stone bench honestly and look at me with envy from time to time.
When I was eating, a maid suddenly came to report that something had happened in Zhuangzi, and the housekeeper was anxious to see me. How much can happen in Zhuangzi? As for disturbing my meal! My heart was on fire, I threw away my rice bowl and got up to come out, and the second daughter also followed over to watch the excitement.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that Steward Qian was waiting for me outside the door, he said impatiently: "Uncle Qian, just watch and solve it, the sky is dark, what is the trouble?" ”
"The old man doesn't want to disturb the little marquis, but you really have to come forward to make up your mind about this matter," Steward Qian saw that I was in a mood, so he hurriedly arched and told me the reason for the intercession.
It turned out that a group of students from other places who had come to the capital to take the exam were making trouble in Zhuangzi. Because the candidates who participated in the imperial court provincial examination had to report to Chang'an in October of that year, these students were eager to seek fame and fame, and came to the capital half a year in advance, but found that the consumption level in Chang'an City was too high to bear, so they went to the farmer's house on my Zhuangzi to borrow it. Borrowing it, borrowing it, running around, the two short-sighted students were curious to visit the huge paper-making workshop and artisan house complex. How could the guards of the paper workshop allow idlers to come in, after stopping, somehow there was a quarrel, these two students were outsiders, and the other wanted to visit for no reason, and their appearance was suspicious, so they were subdued by the guards and sent to the officer.
Although they are all ordinary scholars, they have passed the strict examinations of the local state and county before they were sent to Chang'an to participate in the provincial examination.
"Hehe," listening to the housekeeper's description, I couldn't help but think of my situation in college, and he was also a cynical young man who participated in rallies and marches at every turn, from resisting Japanese goods to green environmental protection and not letting go of various sports opportunities. Once, I sat in front of the city hall with a group of people for a long time only to find out that the people were demolished, and urged the government to quickly divide the house, which was a shame.
