Yun Chu liked to talk nonsense to the Hu Cake seller, and the Hu Cake seller was now used to Yun Chu talking nonsense to him. After all, an official who only talked but did not use his hands was already a very good official in his opinion.
"By the way, if your house is demolished this time, where will you go to do business? This house is not just for your family, there are more than 200 households in total. It won't take more than half a year to build it."
"I'm still doing business in Guangfufang. It's better to be experienced than to be a stranger. We are all fellow villagers. There are few things to do in business here."
"Do you think there have been any changes in Wannian County recently? I mean, has it developed in the good direction you hoped for?"
"It's good. There are fewer bullies, and there are more bad guys coming here. However, these yamen, the bad guys look very fierce, but they don't harm others. They know how to give me money when they buy my biscuits, but they don't like me.
There’s not much meat in the pancake.”
Yun Chu finished eating the cake and meat, poured the dregs of Hu cake that fell into his palm into his mouth and ate it, clapped his hands and said, "If they are not good, just tell me and I will take care of them."
The biscuit seller sighed and said, "Forget it, it's not worth losing your life for a few biscuits, let alone being reduced to a skeleton and sold for money."
Yun Chu smiled and said, "Has the news about me selling human bones to make money spread throughout Chang'an?"
The cake seller nodded and said, "I heard that those two families are very pitiful."
"So, do you know why I want to sell their bones?"
"Because they embezzled money."
"Now, do you still think it was wrong for me to sell their bones to pay back the money?"
The stall selling Hu cakes said with his hands: "I don't know."
Yun Chu didn't explain much. In fact, there was no need for it. The Tang people could accept rebellion, and the rebellion was punished by the nine tribes and the three Yi tribes, but there was no way to accept that because of embezzlement of some money, a person could not be buried in peace.
fate.
A piece of human skin of a woman is still stretched on the city gate of Yangzhou, and the hair is still there. Although the human body has been transformed from a cylinder into a flat surface, many people still say that the woman is beautiful.
It is said that this skin comes from Muzhou and is the skin of an empress named Wenjia. It was peeled off after she was defeated by Cui Yixuan, the governor of Wuzhou.
Yunchu didn't understand why rebels appeared during the Yonghui period, which was notoriously easy to live in.
He actually didn't want to know the answer at all, because the answer sent by the officials must be false.
According to his own judgment, for Tang people who would definitely live in poverty and live happily as long as they had something to eat and something to wear, it can only be said that that ghost place in Muzhou was so bad that it was unsuitable for human existence.
The woman's name is Chen Shuozhen.
In the Tang Dynasty, women with names were usually very powerful. Even someone like Wu Mei didn't have a name. I don't know what she was called when she was young. Anyway, it wasn't until Emperor Taizong discovered her beauty that he named her Wu Mei.
I don't know what Li Zhi called her in the palace, but Yunchu thought that no matter what he called her, she would be dissatisfied and disliked.
In fact, none of this has anything to do with Yunchu. What he can't figure out now is that Cui Yixuan skinned people to get the official position of a middle-level doctor, punished corrupt officials himself, but gained a reputation as a cruel official.
People's attitude towards him is more of fear than love.
However, this is what Yunchu needs.
Yun Chu stood up, touched the hair of the biscuit seller, then turned around and left. He would never come back to eat biscuits here again.
When he returned home, Di Renjie was putting tea leaves into the pockets he had brought. He planned to bring a lot of tea leaves back.
"Pack more. You often stay up late and need this to refresh yourself."
Di Renjie shook his head and said: "I actually don't like drinking this kind of bland tea, especially since your tea leaves will spread out in the water. Others will think that I can't drink tea and am drinking tree leaves."
"In that case, why are you packing so much tea?"
Di Renjie hesitated for a moment and then said to Yun Chu: "Once, I put Sichuan peppercorns, star anise, and salt into the tea you gave me to refresh myself at night. As a result, a boiled egg fell into the tea bowl.
But that night I forgot to prepare tea.
When I got up in the morning, I discovered that the egg had been soaked in tea all night.
Eggs cannot be wasted, so I ate them. Then, I found that the taste of these eggs had the fragrance of tea leaves, as well as the special taste of pepper and star anise, so I tried to boil some eggs using the same recipe... As a result,
I discovered a delicacy.
When I leave, I don’t have anything good to give you, so I will give you this recipe, just like the recipe I often used before, no need to be polite between brothers."
Looking at the generous Di Renjie, Yunchu was filled with emotion. He really didn't know how to repay this good brother for his kindness.
"Once the tea eggs are made, it's a good business."
Di Renjie smiled and said: "I know, that's why I gave it to you. Anyway, you are making tea eggs in Chang'an, and I am selling tea eggs in Bingzhou, so we both get along well."
"Why don't you bring some more things back? After all, you are getting married soon. It's rare for you to stay safe for so many years."
"What do you mean, you want to buy me some Silla maids? That's great, but it's a bit costly for you... Forget it, I'm leaving."
Di Renjie came out of Yun's house carrying a big baggage, put the bag on the horse, looked back at Yun Chu and said, "Why don't you write me a farewell poem?"
Yun Chu said: "Don't you need me to take you to Changting?"
Di Renjie pointed to his chest and said, "I want to go home like an arrow. I'm going to ride back alone. If I go faster, I can get home in ten days."
Seeing that Yunchu was a little silent, he stepped forward and beat his chest and said, "We will meet again one day after all."
Yun Chu nodded and held Di Renjie's feet with his hands to help him get on the horse. This guy was too fat and it was difficult to get on the horse.
Di Renjie looked back at Yun Chu and waved his hand: "Go back!"
Yun Chu smiled and said, "I'll watch you go."
Di Renjie nodded and urged his war horse to trample on the bluestone slabs of Jinchangfang. The horse's hooves clattered forward. Just as he was about to leave, he heard Yunchu behind him tapping the bluestone slabs with the hilt of his knife and singing: "Thousands of miles away."
The yellow clouds are white and the sun is shining, the north wind is blowing the wild geese and the snow is falling, don't worry about the road ahead without any friends, no one in the world doesn't know you... Remember, this poem is called "Farewell Di Da"."
Di Renjie did not look back. He was worried that if he looked back, Yun Chu would see the tears in his eyes and he would laugh at him forever.
Di Renjie left, and Yun Chu felt empty in his heart. It was not that he didn't see Di Renjie off, but he was worried that he would send him off for thirty miles, and then send him off for another thirty miles, and finally send him to Bingzhou, and then let Di Renjie send him back to Chang'an. In this way, it would be
Endless.
Having such a relationship with a man, Yunchu felt very ashamed, very ashamed, especially ashamed.
Since coming to the Tang Dynasty, he has understood that many people's seemingly inconspicuous farewells are likely to be eternal farewells.
The mountain is too high and the road is too far, and only swan geese cannot carry the message.
"This song "Bedida" is beautifully written."
Yun Chu turned around and saw Brother Rumian. He didn't say anything. As long as Brother Rumian is around, this song "Bie Di Da" will definitely become famous in Chang'an and eventually make Chang'an's paper expensive.
"I mean, if one day I go to another place to be an official, can you also write me a farewell poem? It's not too demanding, just be comparable to this poem "Bie Di Da"."
Yunchu stopped and said, "Then it depends on where you go to be an official. If you go to the Western Regions to be an official, I have some good poems to send you now."
"Can't it be done somewhere else?"
Yun Chu thought for a long time and said, "It depends on the situation."
Wen Wen nodded and said: "It depends on whether the mood is up at the time. If the mood is up, you will definitely write a good farewell poem.
However, you should first think about the poem to send your friend to the Western Regions, because I am here to invite you to send Pei Xingjian back to the West."
Hearing Rou Wen say this, Yun Chu's face trembled a few times and said: "Return to the Western Region, don't say return to the West."
"Why?"
"Because Guixi represents death."
"Who said that? My family is also a family of poetry, calligraphy and etiquette. I have never heard of such a statement."
"Let's go. Is Pei Xingjian really leaving?"
"This afternoon I followed a group of imperial soldiers to the Western Regions. He served as a centurion in this group of imperial soldiers, that is, a hundred-man brigade commander. Oh, he is a fifth-grade hundred-man brigade commander.
Also, Su Dingfang is also going, he is going to be the current military commander."
"Is it because Lu Gong has had no success in the Western Region?"
Wen Wen sighed and said: "Ashi Nahelu has colluded with the Congling Stone Kingdom. You are more familiar with the Western Region than me, so you should know about this Stone Kingdom, right?"
Yun Chu nodded and said, "Jiashi Wushuang."
Wen Wenwen walked up to a war horse and said to Yun Chu: "Let's go and see Pei Xingjian off. He is really miserable now.
Although the Pei family in Hedong has been defeated, it is said that they are studying how to kick this black sheep out of the Pei family. It is said that his wife Lu is also making noises about divorce.
However, for now, it seems that they are just threatening him."
Yun Chu spread his hands and said: "Then they are threatening the wrong person. If they can persuade him nicely and his wife cries a few more times, maybe he can make him take back the idea of marrying Gongsun as his wife. Since he has threatened, this guy will follow his own path.
Go to the dark one.”
Wen Wen nodded, he actually saw it that way too.
Some people cannot be threatened.
When the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty left Chang'an, they always had to cross Xianyang Bridge. If they had friends to say goodbye, they always chose to go to Xianyang Bridge.
Xianyang Bridge is in Xianyang. It is a wooden bridge on the Wei River that connects to the Western Regions.
After not seeing each other for more than ten days, Pei Xingjian became very haggard and was inconspicuous among the soldiers. However, after seeing Yun Chu, he showed a smile, pounded the worn armor on his body and said, "When I come back,
Let’s give it another try.”
Yun Chu stepped forward, tapped his breastplate and said, "Gongsun lives in my house, you can rest assured."
Pei Xingjian smiled and said: "If I die, don't let her wait any longer."
Yunchu sighed and said, "She may never find a man like you again."
Pei Xingjian shook his head and said: "I just want to go to the Western Regions and have a good fight to regain my old self-confidence."
