Chapter 209: Catching the Wind (Part 1)

What changes can time travelers bring to the times?

The biggest change was that Liu Heitai was defeated and died prematurely. Prince Li Jiancheng not only failed to gain military exploits and consolidate his power, but was slapped with stars in his eyes.

But Li Shan actually didn't want to see such a change... He had to take the risk of putting his neck under the knife's edge.

He would rather see such changes.

The meal-sharing system in the Han Dynasty has gradually declined. Although high-class households still use the meal-sharing system today, Chang'an restaurants have all switched to the shared meal system.

Dishes are no longer just boiled, grilled, and steamed. They are more adaptable to the human stomach. Stir-fried dishes that have changed human recipes have entered the stage of history ahead of schedule.

There are many, many details, and these details gradually spread within a year...from Dongshan Restaurant to the entire Chang'an.

With its decoration style, food style, and endless new dishes that are completely different from this era, Dongshan Restaurant has become the leader in the catering industry in the east and west cities of Chang'an.

Children of the Jungao family who set foot here need to make an appointment in advance. However, on December 16, Dongshan Restaurant closed its doors to thank guests, specially for Li Shan to receive the wind and wash away the dust.

"Huairen went to Shandong and worked hard and achieved great results. Although he has not yet served as an official, he is rarely rewarded by the court, but it will be judged in the future." Fang Yi, the eldest, picked up the wine cup and said, "Everyone, drink this wine together and wish Huairen a safe return to the capital.

, secondly, congratulations to Huairen for his great service to the country, and thirdly, congratulations to Huairen High School in advance."

Everyone responded with a roar, raised their glasses and drank it all.

The most unserious Gao Xingxing smiled and said: "The first two congratulations are natural, but the third congratulations..."

The news that Li Shan wants to take the imperial examination has spread among the younger generation. Li Shan has tried his best to refuse such elegant things as reciting poems and composing essays.

Well, the main reason is that he doesn't want to go to Pingkangfang.

"Not necessarily, not necessarily." The eldest grandson drank eagerly, his cheeks turning red, "There will be a banquet that day, as Brother Huai said, I'm drunk and want to sleep, please go away..."

Fang Yizhi was not present that day, so his eyes lit up when he heard it, "Why don't you recite the full text today?"

Li Shan put down his chopsticks and said with a smile: "The two of us drank together, and the flowers bloomed, one cup after another. I'm so drunk that I'm about to fall asleep. Please go away. I'll bring you the piano tomorrow morning."

Fang Yizhi tasted it for a long time, nodded and said: "Hermits sit across from each other, drinking slowly and carefully, drinking continuously until they are drunk, and still remembering the Ming Dynasty plain harp accompanied by wine, it is really a good style."

"It's a pity that it was written by someone else, otherwise Brother Huai Ren could have used it." The speaker was Du Ruhui's second son, Du He.

"It's difficult to use." Wang Renbiao smiled and shook his head, "I will definitely not choose this kind of poetry when choosing poetry for Jinshi."

Li Kai interrupted: "Although Huairen has not shown any poetic talent, he still has old works."

Everyone was very surprised. Every time they took Li Shan to Pingkangfang...well, they said they were going to recite poems and compose poems, and it had nothing to do with anything else. But every time Li Shan refused because he was not good at poetry, yet he actually had old works?

"I heard Mr. Ma mention it." Li Kai looked at Li Shan, whose face changed slightly, amusedly, "The body of the twenty-eight-year-old beauty is as crisp as a stick, and the sword in his waist kills the fool. His head is not visible, but his bone marrow is secretly withered.

!”

The room was quiet for a moment, and then burst into laughter.

"This admonition poem..." Fang Yi laughed so hard that he couldn't breathe, "Is Huairen admonishing himself?"

Gao Xingyi laughed so much that he couldn't hold the wine cup steady, and the table was covered with traces of wine, "Brother Xiaoqing said yesterday...Brother Huairen was forced to use the ladder to climb the wall!"

Wang Renbiao dodged Li Shan's fierce look, "It's common for people to be greedy for beauty, but widows..."

Well, Li Shan brought a little widow back from Shandong and was forced to climb the wall... and he actually knew everything.

Du He, who was only thirteen years old, was already a frequent visitor to Pingkangfang. He smiled and said, "Brother Huairen, I will give you two more concubines tomorrow..."

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no no, I just sat down, brother Huai Ren said, after today, I will thank guests behind closed doors to prepare for the exam, how can I mess up his mood?"

"It doesn't matter whether you send me away or not, Huairen is already surrounded by people hugging you."

Du He was young and had a few drinks. He couldn't control himself and said casually: "Brother Huairen, it's better to restrain yourself. We will get married someday..."

"Cough cough, cough cough."

"Ahem..."

Several coughs were heard in succession, and Changsun Chong pulled Du He's arm. Within a month, even the Du family in Jingzhao and the Wei family were interested in a marriage, because it was known that Li Shan was married to Li Keshi and Li Qianyou from the Li family in Longxi. The uncle and nephew were in harmony, and they all found Li Keshi.

Li Keshi intended to wait for Li Shan to return to Beijing to discuss it, but after the Qinghe incident spread to Chang'an, the previous aristocratic families all backed down.

Li Shan didn't take it seriously. In his previous life, he had a pretty good life as a single, not to mention that now he still has Xiao Man and Zhou's two interpreting flowers.

"Thank you for hosting a banquet today." Li Shan poured himself a glass, drank it down, and said with a smile, "As long as I don't mention taking the ladder to climb the wall again, you can do whatever you want."

Changsun stood up and saluted, "I also want to thank Brother Huairen for helping King Huaiyang."

"As it should be, I fell in love with Brother Daoxuan at first sight, and he ordered his soldiers to escort him south..." Li Shan responded, squinting at Changsun Chong, guessing in his heart whether this thank you came from Changsun Chong or Changsun. Wuji, or Li Shimin.

Li Kai said softly from the side: "His Royal Highness was stationed in Taiyuan for a long time, and the only relative close to him was the King of Huaiyang."

This is to explain that Li Daoxuan, as a descendant of the clan, is not only a descendant of the King of Qin, but also has a very good personal relationship with Li Shimin.

Fang Yizhi asked with a smile: "I heard that Huairen captured Yugushe, the only son of Jili Khan alive?"

"It was just a fluke. The guy had bad luck and happened to hit the iron plate." Li Shan sighed: "After entering Beizhou, the Turks got the news from nowhere and pursued them. Fortunately, the Duke of Dao responded in time."

Li Kai explained everything in a gentle tone on the side. Of course he knew the details as he had been to Guantao, and he had heard countless crow-like complaints from Ling Jing, Ma Zhou and others.

Every time he made a vow, he always went in the opposite direction, making everyone laugh again and again.

Gao Xingchen asked curiously: "Who is the Turkic leader who came?"

"Ashinashe'er, the son of Chuluo Khan." Li Kai explained: "On that day, Huairen was calm and composed in front of the Ten Thousand Army Formation. He asked for orders to come forward and exchanged Yugushe for the king of Huaiyang. Xue Changshi Waiting for more than ten people."

Li Shan glanced at Li Kai gratefully... He was quite kind and didn't mention the embarrassing incident of me falling off my horse twice in front of the Ten Thousand Army Formation.

"On that day, when the Turks were urged to return north, Ashina Sheer said that the current situation is similar to the period from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms period... The world was in chaos, fighting each other, so that the fields in the Central Plains were barren and the population dropped sharply. Although Sima unified the world, he could not escape the Five Kingdoms. "Hu's disaster." Li Shan roughly talked about the events of that day, "But the reality is different. From the late Southeast Dynasty to the Western Jin Dynasty, the Central Plains fought for nearly a hundred years, but the Sui Dynasty was turbulent, and Liu Heitai was defeated and died in less than twenty years. "

"Yes, the vitality of the Central Plains has not been lost." Fang Yizhi nodded and said: "Zhi Gui said that Huairen used the severe cold in the grassland as an excuse to persuade the Turks to retreat. What is the reason?"

A month ago, Zhang Wenguan rushed to Beijing on Li Shanzhi's request, and now he went to live with his father in Yangcheng.

The Zhang family in Wucheng and the Fang family in Qinghe are from the same hometown and have always been on good terms.

Li Shan laughed and said: "First of all, there have been frequent famines in the Turks in recent years. Indeed, many cattle and sheep died of freezing. Secondly, in the following words, I checked the local chronicles of Jingzhao, Guanzhong, and Hedong..."

"Ashina She'er has no idea, you are just lying!" Li Kai laughed and scolded: "However, the Xingzhou granary and the Beizhou camp were burned down, and there is no food and grass. It is a foregone conclusion that the Turks will return to the north."
