A new day has begun. Today is a grand occasion that Yun Ye has laid out for a whole year. Thick nanmu trees were transported into Xinghuafang, and bags of exquisite rice bags were carried into Xinghuafang. Countless beautiful things
The singers and handsome actors were carried into Xinghuafang by carriages. When several fragrant carriages slowly drove into Xinghuafang, the crowd of onlookers suddenly became excited.
"Look, the one holding the pipa is Mrs. Guan, but she's wearing a veil and can't see her clearly. I heard she was so smitten that Mr. Ma sold his family property to register for her, but ended up losing both his life and property."
"The one holding the sword box is a swordsman from the Gongsun family. Ah, the third wife of his family has personally taken action. Marquis Yun must have paid a big price for the two hundred and fifty."
"Who is that blind man? How can a blind man come to join in the fun?" As soon as a green man finished saying this, he was slapped hard on the back of the head by a master: "What blind man, I think you are the blind man, that is Qin Weng
, the most skilled piano player in Chang'an City." After finishing speaking, he stroked his beard and said with nostalgia: "A few years ago, an old friend from high school was sent to another place to serve as an official. I and others saw him off. He was at Yanlai Tower, enjoying the feasting and feasting.
When I heard the sound of the piano, I thought it was fairy music. When I woke up, I thought I was in a dream."
"How many things have you tasted, the old lady's breasts, the fox girl's legs, and the Zhang family's daughter's ass?" Qingpi was beaten and refused to be outdone. When he heard that the master had been to Yan Lailou, he opened his mouth to ridicule the master. The master was angry, which immediately caused a commotion.
confusion.
Xinghua Fang cannot be entered. The walls are much higher than other houses and are covered with iron thorns. A few guards in full body armor at the gate look at the crowd indifferently and remain silent. The people are jostling each other but do not dare to take a step forward.
.
A fat steward came out with a smile and sang a promise: "Dear neighbors, today is a good day for Xinghuafang to reopen. The master of the house has ordered me to bring some small gifts to thank all the neighbors. Please line up."
, distributed one by one by the servants at home."
Hearing about this good news, the crowd suddenly changed from a tight crowd to four slender rows. The servants in green clothes and small hats carried out several large bamboo baskets. There were many small linen bags in each bamboo basket. I didn't know what was inside.
Qingpi, who was strong and strong, squeezed into the first place, holding out his hands and waiting to receive the gift. The servant put the bag in his hand with a smile, indicating that he could leave, and left the team. He opened the bag impatiently, only to find that there was
It was wrapped in a few lotus leaves, and when I opened it, I found a piece of meat inside. It smelled very sweet, and when I put it in my mouth, I realized that it was actually dried meat, with a sweet, umami, and a hint of saltiness.
Taste. After chewing hard for a few times, I found that the aroma became stronger even after chewing it once. Unknowingly, I had finished the meat in my hand.
Seeing that there was still a long queue, I felt a little depressed. Why didn’t I leave some of such delicious food for my little sister? I regretted it after I returned, and I pricked up my ears to hear what others had to say.
"This is air-dried beef. It's good stuff, and it costs a hundred cents per pound." Hearing what others said, Qingpi regretted more and more, and slapped himself hard on the mouth a few times, thinking that his little sister didn't get it.
The disappointed fake smile during the beef made me feel distressed. I couldn't wait in line anymore. Qingpi couldn't afford to lose that person, so he lowered his head and prepared to go home. He didn't even have the intention to look at the beautiful woman.
Suddenly someone tapped him on the shoulder, and when he looked back it was the fat steward, holding two small bags and stuffing them into his hands and saying: "Take them back and give them to your younger brothers and sisters to try. This is a specialty of the grassland. We don't have it in Chang'an."
, You will be punished for killing a cow. There are many people today, so I can't give you too much, just a taste." After saying that, he patted Qingpi's shoulder and hurried back to distribute gifts to other people.
Hoo Daorou, who had been beaten thirty times by the government without shedding tears, felt his nose was sore and tears started to flow out on his own. He was afraid of being seen and embarrassed, so he lowered his head and hurriedly ran home.
Several cows were sent away just like this. He Shao didn't feel any distress at all. He watched the crowd gradually disperse with a smile, knowing that the famous snack of air-dried beef would become popular in Chang'an.
The Imperial Guard came, and first they surrounded everyone into small groups like wolves entering a flock of sheep, and then recorded their names, addresses, guarantors, etc. one by one. Gongsun Sanniang, who had seen the world, suddenly woke up. Could it be that His Majesty would come today?
? His mood changed from displeasure to excitement. He turned around and said to the piano player: "Today's sword dance does not require a green waist, but a torrential rain. Can the name of the Gongsun family be spread tonight?"
Next to her, Lady Guan looked at Gongsun Sanniang in disbelief. They were both traveling with her. Gongsun Sanniang nodded to her, and she just knew what she meant. Lady Guan immediately sat down cross-legged and began to carefully adjust her pipa in the background.
, I also changed a string, and took off the fake nails on my hands one by one. Looking at the long toilet paper and the nails painted with khaodan, I will not use any external force tonight.
At dusk, the servants brought a large basket of food. Each person had a small lunch box and a bamboo tube. The lunch box was made of thin copper and had a lotus pattern on it. It looked like it was made by a master. Every lotus was the same.
, the same goes for lunch boxes.
From the glamorous oiran to the lowliest maid, from the trick master to the coolie carrying the box, everyone has a share, without any intention of treating them differently. A stout Hu man took the servant's hand and said: "Just give it to me."
Eat this? Is it the same as what coolies eat?"
The servant laughed, dusted the barbarian's hand and said: "This is the rule of my family. I will eat this today. If it is not enough, please tell me, I will pack more for you. If you want to eat something else, there is none. My Marquis eats it."
This is all, do you want me to bring you the Marquis’s rice plate to take a look at?”
After saying that, he still smiled and ignored the bastard. He opened the lunch box for a little maid who didn't know how to eat these things, opened the bamboo tube, told her that it contained glutinous rice, and taught her how to use a spoon. There was nothing wrong with it.
patient.
The food was delicious, which is a relative term. Even Gongsun Sanniang was full of praise for the large pieces of braised pork. The Forbidden Army did not expect that they would have their share. To be on the safe side, the leader of the Forbidden Army specially ordered them to be divided into three groups to eat.
After finishing the lunch box and drinking a bamboo tube of mash, dinner was over. The servants brought deck chairs for the people who were going to perform tonight. They could take a short rest for half an hour. Men and women were also separated to avoid inconvenience. This is
The only special care Gongsun Sanniang and the others enjoyed.
There is no curfew in Chang'an City tonight, which is what Yun Ye has worked hard for. When the sun slowly sets over the Western Mountains, an endless stream of carriages set off from various cities and towns and gathered in Xinghuafang.
Since many people brought their wives with them, and the birds and birds were laughing all the way, and there was a faint fragrance floating around, this night in Chang'an City was destined to be recorded in the annals of history. This was the first time since the founding of the Tang Dynasty that it was not the first day of the Yuan Dynasty.
The curfew was lifted at night, and the whole of Chang'an seemed to come alive all of a sudden. Various vendors carried burdens, baskets, and baskets to sell their goods to passers-by. Bearded barbarians draped blankets on themselves and greeted
Distinguished guests passing by showed off how beautiful their carpets were.
Standing at the gate of Tai Chi Palace, Li Er leaned over and looked at Chang'an in the distance. He found that Chang'an, which was previously lifeless and murderous, had become lively. There were many tourists on the road, as if there was a river of lights flowing towards Xinghuafang.
This bastard is so grand. It seems that tonight will be a wonderful night. Emperors are so lonely, so why is Li Er an exception? The singing and dancing in the palace are extremely boring to watch alone. Only in front of others can you feel superior.
The emperor has a good show going on now, how can he hold himself back?
The eldest grandson put a cloak on him. There was already a hint of coolness in the autumn night. Looking at the eldest grandson who was also wearing a cloak, Li Er took her left hand and said: "You agreed to Yun Ye's invitation. Now it's up to me."
I will accompany you to the appointment and see what kind of trouble that bastard can cause tonight."
The eldest grandson smiled, picked a yellow leaf brought by the evening breeze from Li Er's shoulder with his right hand, and then said: "I sincerely wish him good luck tonight, great wealth, all his wishes come true, and he deceives everyone in the world."
Hearing this, Li Er laughed loudly and dragged his eldest grandson out of the Tai Chi Palace. He really wanted to see how those fat-headed guys suffered the loss of being mute and could not speak out.
Wei Zheng brought his wife and son to Xinghuafang early. He just wanted to see how Yun Ye completed this trick. His mind was still confused. He knew clearly that Yun Ye had methods, but he just guessed.
I don’t know what the trick is, but the old wife brought the family’s savings tonight. She has long been optimistic about a small building in Xinghuafang. The Wei family is too shabby. Next year, the eldest son Guiyu and the second son Zhong will be married.
Yu and his third son, Shu Yu, were all more talented than his eldest son, so Wei Zheng did not want his eldest son to take the title, so he had to compensate him more financially.
Standing in the shadow, he watched Yun Ye greet the distinguished guests with a smile. Naturally, there were stewards behind him who took the distinguished guests to their boxes one by one. When he saw a large group of people in strange clothes appearing in Xinghuafang, Yun Ye's smile became even brighter.
A tall Hu man in the lead began to say hello and nonsense. Seeing this, Wei Zheng felt relieved.
From the level of Yun Ye's smile, you can roughly tell how he plans to treat tonight's distinguished guests, the prince, the king of Wei, and the king of Shu. When he came with a group of younger brothers and sisters, his face was full of disgust. It was obvious that these people could not bring him anything.
Wealth, on the contrary, comes to consume wealth. Facing the four families of Cheng, Niu, Qin, and Yuchi, they welcomed each other from the bottom of their hearts, with natural smiles. Li Jing smiled weirdly when he came, and Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui smiled in their ears when they came.
While muttering for a while, it seemed that he was explaining the truth. As for the remaining officials, he smiled heartily, handsomely, and full of sincerity. In the end, for those Hu businessmen, he seemed to be seeing his own father, respectful and enthusiastic, giving people the impression that this was his real father.
A hospitable host. As for the merchants who came in and out from under the stairs, there was no smile in his eyes, only indifference and cruelty.
Therefore, Wei Zheng has reason to believe that the most unlucky person tonight will be Hu Shang, and then it will definitely be the merchants, and finally it will be the officials, but he doesn’t know how he will treat Li Jing. This is a difficult problem, but Li Jing has always been resourceful, and the two of them will definitely
There must be a fight. Thinking of this, Wei Zheng's whole body feels hot. He is looking forward to the auction coming soon. (To be continued)
