Chapter 116 A side dish
The Yun family is not good, let alone luxurious, but with the efforts of Yun Chu and Cui's family, it can be regarded as occupying the word plain and elegant.
Anyone who enters the Yun family will have the first impression of the Yun family is that it is clean, and this kind of cleanliness is not the cleanliness of the ground and the soil on the house, but a kind of cleanliness that shines from the inside out.
This cleanliness is about the space, about the scenery, about the furnishings, about the people, and about the sunshine here.
A fat lynx lay on the roof, yawning boredly, a beautiful blonde girl was dragged to the backyard by an old woman, several extremely regular maids stood under the flower gallery with their hands down, and the green stone well railing was clean and shining, which made people subconsciously feel that the well water here must be exceptionally sweet.
Except for the maids here, who are really old, the Yun family has nothing else to blame.
Although the maids are old, their etiquette is elegant and makes Pei Xingjian, a person from a wealthy family, feel surprised.
The Yun family now has no futon, instead there are tables and chairs, Pei Xingjian secretly poked and poked to learn from Yun Chu's appearance and sat down, and the originally bold temperament of Aunt Gongsun couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of herself in the face of this situation.
"Doctor Yun is excellent in martial arts, a certain family has already received it at the entrance of the Imperial City last time, but I don't know what kind of weapon Doctor Yun is good at?"
Yun Chu arched his hand and said: "Where do you dare to say that you are superior in martial arts under General Pei's seat, however, Yun Mou has dabbled in shield knives and horse war spears, if you have to say that there is any skill, Yun Mou thinks that he can still master the one-handed archery technique that he has practiced since childhood." ”
Pei Xingjian laughed and said, "Can you take a look?" ”
Yun Chu led the two to the martial arts training ground specially opened up by Yun Chu, which was a narrow strip of land, with only a spear and a long stick inserted in the weapon rack under the canopy, and then there was a bow that was contained in a leather bag, and a bag of long arrows hung outside the skin.
Pei Xingjian took off the spear, looked at the edge of the blade and the red tassel at the end of the spear, nodded and said, "The smell of blood has not dried up yet, is this the one that Doctor Yun uses to crisscross the battlefield of Qiuzi?" ”
Yun Chu lowered his head and said a little gloomy: "Single-handedly fought through the encirclement and took his life, and I thought I would let out a long howl, but I knew that only the tears in my eyes could not be wiped off." ”
"Is this the reason why you locked the Imperial Medical Department and went to school too much?"
Yun Chu took out the well-maintained longbow from the skin, buckled the bowstring at will, matched the arrow bag to his side, and did not aim, a long arrow was placed on the bowstring, and in a breath, five long arrows had left the string, and one by one they were nailed to the arrow stack fifty paces away.
Pei Xingjian didn't shout, took Yun Chu's longbow and pulled it, "Two bows? ”
Yun Chu said with a smile: "If it is not necessary in the battle formation, if you don't draw a hard bow, you can shoot one more arrow, and you will have one more chance of survival." ”
Pei Xingjian said to Gongsun: "You see, this is the difference between killing embryos from the battlefield and fools who only know how to draw a hard bow and be proud of it. ”
Gongsun saluted Yun Chu again: "The concubine has been taught. ”
Yun Chulang laughed and said to Pei Xingjian: "At this time, the subordinates must have already arranged the wine and food, let's sing the wine today, or talk about the wine, don't talk about any martial arts." ”
After saying that, Yunchu was leading the way, Pei Xingjian and Gongsun deliberately delayed a few steps, and then heard Pei Xingjian say to Gongsun: "How? ”
Gongsun replied: "The eyes are clear, I was slightly surprised at the first sight, and the rest were treated politely, there is nothing wrong with it, and the eyes of the dog thief that night seemed to be on fire, not to mention, even the appearance does not match." ”
Yun Chu politely stopped a little around the corner, Pei Xingjian and Gongsun caught up in stride, and before they arrived at the dining room, they couldn't help but look at the wine and rice in the dining room, not for anything else, just because of a high square table, the wine and food placed were exuding a strong fragrance.
The sake is hot, so the aroma is overflowing, and the tofu and salt vegetables are tumbling in a small clay pot, so the aroma is tangy, and the grilled fish with dogwood is also bubbling under the roasting of the fire.
"It's the first time I've seen these dishes." Pei Xingjian sighed in admiration, and then picked up a bowl of alcohol and drank it all.
Seeing Pei Xingjian standing on the spot, Yun Chu said to Gongsun: "This kind of wine, those who like it love it like their lives, and those who don't like it drink it like drinking poison, if you don't like it, there is a warm Jiuyu spring wine, which is also good." ”
A bowl of wine went down, Pei Xingjian's internal organs were like being on fire, he endured it without making a fool of himself, and it took a lot of effort to suppress the churning wine.
Then pick up the chopsticks and start eating.
Gongsun saw that Yun Chu's interest was not high, so he asked why.
Yun Chu whispered: "Today, the people of the village begged to come to the door, hoping to owe some food from the family on credit and return it after the autumn, but I am worried that they have borrowed the food now, but they will not be able to pay it back after the autumn."
I can't bear to borrow, but I borrowed but I didn't pay it back, no wonder Qu Zixing chanted by the river and said: Chang Tai Xi to cover up his tears, mourning the difficulties of people's livelihood.
Today, Fang understands the pain. ”
Gongsun said puzzledly: "Now that the country is peaceful and the people are peaceful, and the four seas are peaceful, it is a glorious and prosperous age, how can Doctor Yun make such a lamentation?" ”
Pei Xingjian stopped his chopsticks and said to Gongsun: "You have been practicing sword dance in the nunnery for many years, and you don't know anything about external affairs.
Today, the price of grain has risen tenfold in January, the price of salt has also risen tenfold, and cloth and other people's livelihood uses have also risen a lot.
And the money and food earned by the people did not increase, which led to a shortage of civilians and borrowing everywhere, which caused Yun Chu's lament.
However, he is also the chief of this light, and the people here can't eat, which has a lot to do with him. ”
Gongsun said puzzledly: "Since Lang Jun is an official and a student, why do you want to handle this cheap service?" ”
Yun Chu looked at the damn red dancing girl in front of him, a person who sold her thighs for a living when she had nothing to do, and she didn't understand how she had the face to say that she was running a cheap labor when she was the chief.
Could it be that playing a hundred enemies with Pei Xingjian in the Pure Heart Nunnery is a hundred battlefields, and the trick of being willing to be with the grass everywhere is noble?
But he said, "Someone has to do these things, if you don't do it, I don't do it, who will protect these people from starvation?"
Yun has seen too many dead people on the battlefield, all kinds of dead people have seen it, and when he gets off the battlefield, he will not see anyone die again.
The reason why I became the chief of this department is also to ask for peace of mind. ”
Although Gongsun looked down on Yun Chu for his servitude, he admired him for his heart for the country and the people, and couldn't help but say, "The little girl still has a little ...... here."
"Never!"
Without waiting for Gongsun to say anything, he was categorically rejected by Yun Chu.
Seeing that Gongsun was puzzled, Yun Chu said in a low voice: "Giving money is always the worst way to provide disaster relief.
Give money today, so that he can eat for a day, then, if he doesn't give it tomorrow, what about the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow?
If you give money every day, in the long run, you can only raise a batch of useless, unwilling to work, unwilling to work hard. ”
"Good!" General Pei waited for Yun Chu to finish speaking, and then applauded loudly, with his experience, how could he not understand the meaning of Bai Yunchu's words.
After shouting, Pei Xingjian asked elegantly: "So, what are you talking about the best way to relieve the victims?" ”
Yun Chu said with a smile: "Naturally, it is the method of work-for-relief, so that the people have work to do, and the government reaps the fruits of the people's labor, so that it is the best way to relieve disasters, and there is no need to worry about raising a group of waste." ”
Pei Xingjian looked at Yun Chu with admiration and said, "A student who has not yet entered school can come up with such a good method, it can be seen that you have studied well in your schoolwork, and you are worthy of your status as a student." ”
Speaking of poetry and songs, Gongsun may not be weaker than anyone else, Yun Chu and Pei Xingjian talked about government affairs, she really couldn't understand, so she looked at Pei Xingjian, it seems that she likes to join the topic.
Pei Xingjian replied with a caring gaze, picked up the wine bowl, took a sip slowly, took a sip of wine, and shivered.
Then he said to Gongsun: "When Qi Jinggong was in the world, there was a famine in the world, and the doctor Yan Ying advised Lun Su to give relief, but Jing Gong did not agree, and Jing Cheng planned to build a "road bed".
Yan Ying built a platform with his hands in the name of disaster relief. He ordered his subordinate officials to hire the victims at high salaries, and to lengthen the roads, deliberately delaying the completion date, and building the roads tall and magnificent, and after three years, the platforms of the roads were built and the victims were able to live.
After the completion of the high platform of the road bed, Qi Jinggong complained that Yan Zi built the road bed too high, and he was guilty of working too hard for the people and hurting money.
Yan Zi explained that whether the palace is tall or not, itself is not the main thing, the key is to see whether it is beneficial to the people, beneficial to the people, it is not luxury, not only is it not guilty, but it is also meritorious to the people.
Yun Chu said that he hoped that a certain family could write to His Majesty, and implored His Majesty to open palaces in various places, defend the city, and hire more hungry people to alleviate the disaster of the current people. ”
Gongsun looked at Yun Chu and Pei Xingjian with admiration: "Sure enough, this is what the eldest husband should be in charge of, but it's a pity that the concubine is a woman and can't participate, it's a pity." ”
Yun Chu said with a smile: "The big husband has the way to settle the world, and the little woman has the way to save the people." ”
Gongsun hurriedly asked, "What is the little girl's way to save the people?" ”
Yun Chu clapped his hands, and Cui, who had been guarding the door, walked out with a smile, and saluted Gongsun Yingying: "If you want to know how to save the people of the little woman, you can follow the old woman to the front yard to have a look." ”
Gongsun followed Cui's without thinking about it.
Pei Xingjian sighed at this time and said: "Although it is good to use work for relief, no one will start this matter at the moment. ”
After speaking, he raised the wine bowl and took another big sip of alcohol.
Yun Chu diligently poured alcohol for Pei Xingjian, and also pretended to lament, and drank a large bowl of sweet thick wine in front of him.
Today's table of dishes is not prepared for Pei Xingjian, but for the grandson who is popular all over Chang'an, as long as the grandson is willing to recommend the warm quilt of the Yun family to the rich family in Chang'an, as well as some distinctive embroidery work in the market, Yun Chu's meal is not in vain.
Yun Chu didn't want to underestimate Gongsun's ability, since that night he glanced at and saw other people's bodies, the objects of his spring dreams for several nights were all people, so it can be seen that any man who has seen Gongsun must be the same.
At this time, Gongsun recommended a warm quilt to others, and I don't know how many men will be haunted by their dreams......
