Datang New Giants

Chapter 63 The Evil Slave
Lu Ting II is a man, he can understand the thoughts of Zhang Sun Chong and others, he is knowledgeable and humorous, and he quickly becomes one with the four members of the Dachang Jin Ranger Team.

After chatting for less than half an hour, the two ranger chickens were ready. Chang Sun Chong saw that it was starting to snow, and it was getting bigger and bigger, so he dragged Lu Ting back to the post station, and asked the post Cheng to re-order the food and drinks. The five of them While talking about chivalry, while drinking a big bowl and eating meat, Lu Ting talked about some anecdotes that Chang Sun Chong had never heard of, and Chang Sun Chong talked about the secret history of Chang'an. The atmosphere became more and more harmonious. Shoulder to drink together.

Lu Ting didn't know how much he drank. In order to "suppress" them, anyway, the bowl was dry, and he was a little drunk after drinking, as if he was being helped to a bed to lie down in a daze.

The next day, Lu Ting slept until the sun was high and didn't get up. When he got up, he felt his head was heavy and his throat was dry.

"My lord, you're finally awake. I've got someone to make hangover soup, and I'll bring it to you right away." Fu Zhi had been waiting by the side, and when he saw Lu Ting's movements, he said something, then turned around and went to get the hangover soup.

Lu Ting sat up with some difficulty and looked around. The windows were bright and clean, the big bed was quilted with brocade, and there were desks, chairs, coffee tables, desks and other household items in the room. It was winter, but the room was as warm as spring. If you looked carefully, you could see the interior of the room. There are charcoal stoves in the four corners, which is really a luxury.

Judging from the decoration, this is a first-class house in the post station, and officials of at least the fifth rank or above are eligible to use it, which can be regarded as being honored by Changsun Chong and the others.

Thinking about it, I drank too much last night, and Chang Sun Chong vacated an upper room for himself. If it weren't for him, he would have slept in the wild in the freezing cold and heavy snow, and he might wake up several times in the middle of the night. Comfortable, sleep till dawn.

Fu Zhi soon came back with hangover soup, and Lu Ting finished drinking it while pinching his nose. Not to mention, he felt much more refreshed after drinking it.

"Fuzhi, are the grandsons getting up?" Lu Ting asked while getting dressed.

I had a good chat last night, so hurry up, as long as I can get along well with the Dachang Jin Ranger Team, I will no longer be lonely in Chang'an, and it will also help me better and faster integrate into the upper class of Chang'an.

Fu Zhi said surprisingly: "Young master, the eldest grandson left the inn early this morning."

"No way, early in the morning?"

"Yes, the eldest grandson said that there will be riding and archery practice in the afternoon, and we can't delay it. We will set off at dawn. By the way, the eldest grandson, Mr. Cheng, Mr. Hou and Mr. Du have all invited you to their house as guests. This is Mr. eldest grandson." The token left for the young master, said to bring this jade pendant to the Changsun Mansion to look for him."

Lu Ting took the jade pendant and took a look. It was a fish-shaped jade pendant, which was a high-grade mutton fat jade. More than ten times.

As expected of a noble son of a wealthy family, his hair is thicker than the waist of an ordinary person.

I thought that I would have to drink a few more times to make an impression, but I didn't expect to drink only once and even leave a token for myself, which shows that Chang Sun Chong regards himself as a friend.

In history, Changsun Chong was a good person, noble but kind-hearted. Later generations compared him to Wang Xianzhi. This evaluation is very high. Wang Xianzhi was born well and had no ambition. When Emperor Wudi Sima Yao selected a son-in-law Xie Hun for his daughter Princess Jinling, he did so according to Wang Xianzhi's criteria.

To have a son should be like Sun Zhongmou, and to marry a daughter should be married to Wang Xianzhi. This is the aspiration of parents in ancient times.

"By the way, young master, that young master Hou said that when you arrive in Chang'an, you must go to the Hou's mansion to play with him. He will tell the disciples that you can enter as long as you report your name. He also said that you must hold a banquet to treat you well." Fu Zhi Said a little excitedly.

Hou Junji, the owner of the Hou Mansion, is General Chariot and Cavalry, the son of Quanjiao County, a well-known general in the world. I don’t know how many people want to see General Hou, but they have nowhere to go. Before the son enters Chang’an City, the gate of the Hou Mansion is closed. Opening up for the young master, Fuzhi gets excited just thinking about it.

Lu Ting waved his hand and said, "This foodie, let him forget it."

That is to say, after drinking once, the enthusiasm was a bit too much. Needless to say, that little fat man Hou Mingyuan is a foodie. If I go to the Hou's mansion, I will ask him to "catch a strong man" to make him a ranger chicken.

Fu Zhi covered his mouth with a smile, and soon said in a strange way: "My lord, we have a lot of condiments left. It's not right to make ten rich and noble chickens. It's okay to be a knight-errant chicken, but you only need to make two. Is it troublesome?" ?”

Those are rich and noble sons, many people have no time to curry favor, let alone a chicken, as long as a wink, even my own sisters are willing to give it to me with both hands, my son is good, people come to the door and still handle it, Fuzhi will do it for me The son is in a hurry.

"It's not a troublesome problem." Lu Ting said wisely: "It's best if you don't get it. They eat enough at one time, and they may not want to eat it next time. Make less. They tasted the taste, but they didn't eat it." It’s a joy, and I’ll definitely remember it in my heart.”

It turned out that this was the case, Fuzhi suddenly realized, and soon said with some regret: "Young master, if you get up early and go back with the eldest grandson, it will be much more convenient to enter Chang'an."

Lu Ting didn't tell anyone about the agreement with Wang Gui, including Fu Zhi, who always thought that his son was traveling to Chang'an to study.

"Don't worry, we've had some troubles, and it's convenient to go anywhere, but I didn't expect them to be so self-disciplined." Lu Ting said with some surprise.

The eldest grandson drank no less than himself, but for the afternoon riding and archery practice, in such a cold weather, they overcame the hangover of last night, got up early in the morning, and rushed back for dozens of miles. Learning, this self-discipline moved Lu Ting.

After a simple wash, the two had breakfast at the post station. When they checked out, they found that Chang Sun Chong and the others had settled for them. Even the carriage in the woods was pulled to the post station for him.

Young, so careful in doing things, he really deserves to be a child trained by a wealthy family.

Lu Ting sighed, and with blessings, he left Qingshiyi soon and continued towards Chang'an.

The snow stopped, the sun was high, and the warm winter sun shone on the body. It was very comfortable. Seeing that the weather was good, Lu Ting was not sitting in the carriage, but sat in front with Fuzhi, watching the scenery along the way while catching up.

There was a heavy snowfall last night, and the snow on the road was two inches thick. Fortunately, this place is near Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Empire. Even in winter, there is an endless stream of horse-drawn carriages. Just follow the ruts left by the vehicles in front. , Sitting in the carriage, listening to the creaking sound of the wheels crushing the snow, that feeling is amazing.

"My lord, I heard that Chang'an City is very big, is it bigger than Suzhou City?" Fuzhi asked curiously.

"Big, Chang'an is the largest and most prosperous city in the Tang Dynasty, so it is naturally bigger than Suzhou."

"My lord, I heard from those guests that you have to be careful when doing anything in Chang'an. Many officials' eyeliners will be caught in prison if they are not careful, and the security is also very strict. They have to go home when it gets dark and can't go out. Otherwise, they will be arrested." A beating would be light, by the way, I heard that a fifth-rank official came to Beijing to report on his work, drank a few more glasses, was caught by Marquis Wu at a late hour, and was given a fat beating, and his front teeth were knocked out. I can't do it even if I'm a lower official, so who is Marquis Wu, is he a great official?"

"There are many Wuhou shops in Chang'an. These Wuhou shops are equivalent to the arrest houses in Suzhou. Wuhou is not an official, but a kind of government servant. If an official is beaten, it is because he violated the law. It is a violation of the law for a fifth-rank official to be placed in a small place. A big man, in Chang'an, where the princes are everywhere and the emperor's relatives are as numerous as dogs, they are not popular at all."

Fuzhi was very curious about Chang'an and had many questions. Lu Ting was in a good mood and answered him patiently.

Chang'an is the capital of the Tang Empire, the economic, cultural, and political center of the Tang Dynasty. There are many rules and regulations.

"My lord, Chang'an is guarded by the imperial army, Jingzhao Mansion, and Marquis Wu. Does it mean that no one dares to break the law? Do the common people live and work in peace like the storyteller said, and they don't pick up things on the road and don't close their doors at night?" Fu Zhi said with a look of longing.

Lu Ting said with some embarrassment: "Theoretically, it is."

While the two were talking, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes behind them, and then someone shouted loudly: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, everyone out of the way."

"Get out of the way if you don't want to die."

"Damn Tian Chenu, didn't you hear that you were told to make way, get out."

Then there was a sound of panic, the screams of horses and the cries of people, which seemed very chaotic. Lu Ting turned his head and looked back, only to see a few noble slaves in fresh clothes and angry horses, riding on horses, holding The reins, waving the whip in one hand, roared loudly to clear the road, and those who did not listen to persuasion or walked slowly would be whipped away without saying anything. Not only horses were beaten, but people were no exception.

Lu Ting saw with his own eyes that an old horse-drawn carriage moved a little slower, and a savage slave charged up on horseback, kicked the running carriage, and kicked the moving carriage. Kicked over the side of the road, the old man driving the cart fell to the ground, the frightened horse dragged the overturned cart through the snow, the dent from the cart's fall and the long drag marks from the horse pulling the cart, Together it looks like a huge exclamation point.

I don't know if anyone was hurt.

　The weather is turning cold, book friends, please keep warm and take good care of your body
