Civil servants of the Tang Dynasty

Almost everything in the bedroom was arranged by Li Yingwan himself, so it was very convenient to find things. After a while, she came over from the cabinet holding a tray as if offering treasures, "Lancaoer, I Where is the pair of Jimo boots that the previous one prepared for Ah Cheng?”.

"It's been several months, and you don't know it's cold!" Tang Cheng, who was playing in the mandarin duck brocade quilt, stretched out his hand to bring Li Yingwan in, and rubbed his warm hands on the woman's cold body for a while, " It's still early, let her sleep a little longer, if she can't find another pair of boots, that's all."

The man's hot hands flowed over her body like hot springs, making Li Yingwan feel very nourished and warm. This kind of warmth not only nourished her body, but also sweetened her heart.

In the morning, men's yang energy is at its peak, and Tang Cheng has the habit of sleeping naked. In addition, the Bozhou light shirt Li Yingwan is wearing is the same as the sexy underwear of later generations. It is far more decorative than practical. The two people who were together gradually vented their anger a little unevenly.

The woman's slightly bent long legs obviously felt a hard ball against it. This hard ball was very restless, and would jump twice from time to time. With this beating, the woman's mind also followed Ssangyong The boats in the river go up and down leisurely.

Slender hands, sticking with the machine!Seeing that this would not go on like this, Li Yingwan stretched out his hand to hold the hard one, preventing it from romping around unscrupulously, "Ah Cheng, you have business to do today, why don't you wait for you?" Come back at noon...".

After all, he was going to report to the state government office in the morning, so Tang Cheng accepted the widow's illness for the time being, and said with a smirk: "Okay, let's promiserate again during the day when I come back from the government office."

Just at this moment, Lancao, who lives in the bedroom, came out with a tray in his hands. In addition to the brand-new Jimo boots, there was a travel crown and a turquoise belt on the tray. These two things were all bought by Tang Cheng that day, which she spent more than a year on a monthly basis.

Ever since she moved to Zhoucheng, Lancao began to officially perform the duties of the housekeeper. Like all the women in this role in the Tang Dynasty, the dressing and grooming of the male host's clothes when he got up in the morning belonged to her scope of responsibility.

Putting down the tray in her hand, Lancao straightened out the new clothes that Li Yingwan had just brought over to the side of the couch, "Master, it's time to get up."

Ever since he moved into this new house, Li Yingwan ordered his subordinates to change his address, and Tang Cheng changed from "Young Master" to "Tang Daguan".

"Grand official" sounds both dignified and catchy, and it also agrees with the status of eating yamen, but every time Tang Cheng hears such a title, the name of Ximen Qing in "Jin Ping Mei" always comes to mind naturally. Come on, isn't that fellow called "the official of Ximen"!

The spring night is bitter and the days are high, but when it's time to get up, you can afford it!After Tang Cheng withdrew his hand that was gently twirling on the woman's curvaceous high waist, he slipped out from under the quilt with a chirp.

He sleeps naked, this is a habit developed in later generations, even after traveling for such a long time, he still can't change it, this time he came out naked, but he didn't notice the hard ball underneath, the direction of the dust handle Didn't it just happen to stand in front of Lancao who was about to help him get dressed?

I saw such a scene early in the morning. Rao Lancao and Tang Cheng had a physical relationship, and even the 3P of a dragon and two phoenixes had fought hand-to-hand several times, and they couldn't help but be caught by this dusty root like a jade pillar. She blushed to the prickly face.

Seeing Lancao like this, Tang Cheng's original shred of embarrassment disappeared in an instant, and he even deliberately moved his body forward, and then... the handle of dust hit Lancao's face in a daze, first The nose, and then...the red lips...

Accident, purely by accident, when a foreign object came into contact with her mouth, Lancao instinctively stretched out her tongue and licked it, once, twice, and finally recovered from the dazed state at the third time, and took a step back, This is how to avoid men's treasures.

Seeing Lancao's bewildered stare, not only Tang Cheng, who was comfortable, but also Li Yingwan, who was in the brocade quilt, couldn't help laughing out loud.

But it was this smile that made Lancao's blush return to normal, and then it was dressing, Tang Cheng clearly felt that Lancao put extra effort on adjusting the position of the dust handle in his inner shirt.

After getting dressed, Tang Cheng stretched out his hand and took the orchid grass into his arms, "If you dare to avenge yourself, see how I deal with you when I come back at noon." Tang Cheng put all his strength into his hands, teasingly hugged the plump orchid grass in his arms for a few times , and then go to freshen up.

Wearing a brand-new satin white shirt inside, the same brand-new bamboo-pattern jacquard tumbler outside, a traveling crown on his head, and Jimo boots on his feet, his already slender figure is even more apparent after being shrunk by the turquoise waist. Yushu faces the wind.People are clothes and horses are saddles. After Tang Cheng tidied them up, the image reflected in the bronze mirror was really handsome.

After Li Yingwan looked Tang Cheng up and down carefully, he nodded in satisfaction.Jinzhou is no better than Yunxi, and the state government is no better than the county government. I heard that the people who eat public meals there are very particular about their clothes and hats. This is the first time that my husband has officially appeared in the state government. If she is underestimated when she dresses, it will not hurt the face of her bride!

Not to mention Li Yingwan's feelings for Tang Cheng, but her competitive temperament in her bones would never allow such a situation to happen.

After freshening up and having breakfast, the refreshed Tang Cheng was sent by his second daughter to the gate of the inner house and headed for the state office.

At noon, Tang Cheng came back on time. Although there was no abnormal expression on his face, the second daughter, who was all focused on him, still felt the unhappiness that the man deliberately hid under his eyebrows.

While eating, seeing Lancao couldn't help asking questions, Li Yingwan quickly gave her a wink and shook her head slightly.

If Ah Cheng was unhappy, wouldn't asking him add to his troubles?Even the rice should be bad.

The situation remained the same for the next few days. Although Tang Cheng was careful not to bring home his bad mood, he couldn't hide it from Li Yingwan and Lancao.

It's just that he didn't want to say it, so Li Yingwan restrained Lancao, kept restraint and didn't ask any more questions.

At noon that day, I heard familiar footsteps outside, and the bluegrass that was busy in my hand rushed out to meet him. It was Tang Cheng who came in from the outside.

"Isn't Yingwan here?"

"Madam just went to Dongshi not long ago, and she needs to buy some things for the house," Lancao replied while paying attention to Tang Cheng's expression.

Why!It seems that today is not going well, no, Ah Cheng's brows are more tangled.

Hearing this, Tang Cheng didn't say anything, nodded and went to the study.

Ever since she met Tang Cheng, Lancao had never seen him like this, even when he lived in such a difficult time in the village, what happened these few days?

Lancao was thinking about it in her heart, but no matter how much she thought about it, she couldn't find a clue. After all, she was still worried, so she went to the study with a pot of transparent raw chicken soup.

Ever since he started going to the Yamen, Old Master Yan's lectures have been fixed at night, so Tang Cheng is the only one in the study at the moment. When he enters the room, Lancao sees Tang Cheng sitting behind the desk with fixed eyes. I don't know what I'm thinking about.

"This is the chicken soup that the kitchen cooks when you leave in the morning. The original flavor is the most nourishing. Drink it while it's hot." Handing the chicken soup to Tang Cheng, Lancao, who didn't want to leave, was looking for nothing. Pack up the desk in front of Tang Cheng.

At this time, Lancao leaned over and was busy on the desk, her figure became more and more plump in this posture.

Just as Lancao was busy with work, thinking how to ask questions without causing trouble to Ah Cheng, she suddenly felt an extra hand on her waist. This hand was slow at first, and then moved quickly after taking advantage of the trend. A lot, just when Lancao was about to stand up and turn around, he heard a voice, "Don't move".

With a sound of "pa", Tang Cheng dropped the soup cup in his left hand. Tang Cheng stood up suddenly and hugged Lan Cao'er from behind. While holding the crystal ear in his mouth, his hands also moved up and down. The peak goes deep into the valley.

This time it came too suddenly, "sudden" in the relationship between men and women often means stimulation, and the unbearable bluegrass slowly moaned.

After moaning a few words, Lancao, who was already emotionally moved in her heart, felt a sudden coolness under the tall waist of the flickering skirt, and the shirt and trousers she was wearing inside had been pulled down to the crook of her legs. The next moment, with The skirt was lifted up to the waist, and a hard and fiery knife pierced in. Lancao's body lying on the desk suddenly rushed forward, and she couldn't help crying out, "Ah!".

Today's Tang Cheng was more ferocious than ever, with waves of intense pleasure coming up one after another, to the point that Lancao had to pick up the scroll at hand and bite it in his mouth, so as not to make too much noise.

It was fierce and long-lasting, and when the clouds and rain finally stopped, the red orchid grass on his face and body nestled in Tang Cheng's arms, "Ah Cheng, what's wrong with you today?".

"I encountered some unpleasant things in the yamen." Tang Cheng's forehead was covered with beads of sweat. Although he was tired, after the incident just now, his heart suddenly brightened. The depression that had been pent up in his chest for the past few days was released with the strenuous exercise just now.

Depressed, Tang Cheng was indeed depressed from the day he reported to the state government to the day he was hired.

Very depressed!

What is the most exciting and depressing thing in the state office?It's not that he was threatened, no one gave him authority at all, and to put it more bluntly, no one answered him at all. Tang Cheng, who was just transferred from the Yunxi county government in a happy breeze, has been arrested since the moment he entered Tian Cao's office a few days ago. People are like air.

When he reported for duty, he was also hired, but no one told him what to do, not to mention the supervisor's horse, and he didn't even show up to join the army, who was bound to find him as usual.It's as if there is no such person as him in the state government.

As for those colleagues in Tian Cao, no one said anything to him, or these people didn't talk to him at all, even if they didn't talk nonsense.Occasionally, when someone said a few words to him, it must be taking advantage of the opportunity of no one around. Tang Cheng felt that these people seemed to be thieves when talking to him, sneaking for fear of being discovered.

From the strange behaviors of these colleagues and the deliberate friendly eyes they cast from time to time, Tang Cheng could see their helplessness. As for the reason for their helplessness, what's the point?

Before entering the state government, Tang Cheng also imagined the possible methods Ma Biejia could use. After all, he was not only transferred from the Yunxi county government, but more importantly, he was also the recorder and confidant of Zhang County Magistrate. Don't worry, it wouldn't be surprising if it was aimed at him.

But what Tang Cheng didn't expect was that Ma Biejia would use such a method to hang him up alive. Hanging him up in this way is really a comparison for newcomers who have just entered the state government. The killing power stick is even more uncomfortable.

After all, when confronted with dismounting majesty and Shawei stick, you can still see the tricks, and you can even respond or even fight back, but the method that Ma Biejia uses now is like Huang Feihong's famous stunt in later generations-Foshan Wuying foot, powerful Huge, and people can't fight back after being hit.

I can't even see it, how can I fight back?

Tang Cheng is feeling uncomfortable now and he can't say anything, he can only hold back, don't drive others, but he neither embarrasses nor gives him power, he just wants to say what he can say!

This is a typical dumb loss. After suffering a loss, he can't speak at all!

Although Tang Cheng said that he arrived at the Yamen on time every day, he had nothing to do at all. Every day he went there, he just sat and watched others busy. If he hadn’t found some yellowed old documents in the office to read, I just don't know how to pass the time.

Being in such a situation, every day that passed Tang Cheng's heart became more depressed, how could he feel better.

"It's all small things in the yamen, don't worry, it will pass soon." Tang Changchang, who had vented all the anger in his heart, let out a long breath.

Want to play with a blunt knife to cut flesh!It's true that you have a blunt knife, but I'm not dead meat that can be cut and cut without bleeding. Don't drive a doggy horse, I'm on the fence with you!

The smoldering fire dissipated, and Tang Cheng came out from the irritability and depression of the previous few days after making up his mind.At noon that day, Li Yingwan, who came back from Dongshi, saw a familiar smile on Tang Cheng's face again.

In the afternoon and the next few days, Tang Cheng went to the office on time and left work on time. Even though he knew that he had nothing to do when he went, he would never be late or leave early. In short, in the smallest details, he And never give anyone a handle.

There is no way to use such tricks to mess up my position and catch the pigtails!Although this was only Tang Cheng's speculation, he was confident that his speculation about Ma Biejia was not outrageous at all.

During this period, a small-scale insect disaster suddenly broke out in Zhuxi County under Jinzhou. It was this insect disaster that dragged Sun Shijun, who was patrolling here, and hoped that he would come back as soon as possible. The sex is really not big, and now the prefectural government Lima Biejia is the person in charge.

Tang Cheng continued his "air" life, but while he went up and down the office on time, he was also trying his best to find out everything about Ma Biejia. More energy is put on inquiring about his hobbies.

Who in later generations said that if you want to hit a person, it is best to start with his hobbies.Tang Cheng deeply agrees with this.

Although Tang Cheng's current situation can't find anything from the state government, but as the number two figure in Jinzhou, Ma Biejia is too famous and has attracted too much attention. Biejia's hobbies are clear.

Ma Biejia was born in the imperial examination, and he is an authentic scholar who can no longer be more authentic. This guy's hobbies are the same as those of many romantic scholars in the Tang Dynasty. His spare time is inseparable from banquets and songs at literati poetry gatherings prostitute.

In fact, this is also the commonality of scholars in the Tang Dynasty. For them, those geishas with graceful figures and mellow voices are like five stones scattered to the scholars of the Six Dynasties. This is not only a hobby, but also a way of life. an integral part of life.

In addition to official business, chanting love affairs at literary meetings, holding wine cups, laughing with prostitutes while being drunk, or listening to singing prostitutes singing softly to the sound of silk and bamboo, how can such a day be so romantic?If the prostitute sang his own favorite work, he could still hug and sleep with him after enjoying his poems and wine, this is the life a Tang Dynasty literati should live.

Bai Juyi is like this, Yuan Zhen and Xue Tao are like this, many scholars in the Tang Dynasty who became officials are like this, and Ma Biejia is no exception.

It's just that this guy has a strange tune, that is, his aesthetic view is quite different from that of the people of the time. In Tang Dynasty, most women's aesthetics are plump and plump, but Ma Biejia only loves slim girls who are thinner. Of course, this may also have something to do with the fact that his first wife is too "rich".

Wenhui, Geisha, Tang Cheng, who came out from Uncle Zhang Xiangwen Yao, firmly remembered these two key words.It seems that if you want to fight against the horse, you can only start from this.

When he fell asleep, a pillow fell from the sky. Unfortunately, just two days after Tang Cheng heard the news, the old master Yan who came back from looking for friends outside told him the news. Liu Jingwen, who has just returned from Yangzhou, Huainan Road, is going to hold a literary conference in his own industry.

As an old teacher of Jinzhou State School, Old Master Yan and Liu Jingwen are naturally familiar with each other, and because he also received the invitation, the reason why Old Master Yan, who was not used to Liu Jingwen's profligate behavior, readily agreed to attend the meeting was because of his purpose I just hope to use this literary meeting to formally introduce my lover to everyone.

"You may not have heard of Liu Jingwen, but you should know about his cousin Liu Tingzhi." Over the past ten days, Mr. Yan was very satisfied with Tang Cheng's hard work and progress in his studies, so he had a rare expression on his face when he spoke. Put away the solemnity of the teacher's dignity, and feel a little relaxed.

Listening to what Old Master Yan said solemnly, Tang Cheng knew that this Liu Tingzhi should be somewhat famous, but if he wanted to talk about his name, he couldn't help it if he was called by words like now, Liu Tingzhi, who is he?

"Although you are studying Mingjing, you can't limit your knowledge." Old Master Yan really never forgets to mention his beloved disciple, "Tingzhi is his name, and his name is Liu Xiyi. He was named Wenhua when he was young. In Yangxiang, he can play the pipa well."

At this point, the old master Yan, who was in a good mood, recited Liu Tingzhi's famous masterpiece "Grave Pulsatilla" with great interest:

The peach and plum blossoms in the east of Luoyang City fly around and fall into someone's house.

The daughter of Luoyang cherishes the color, and sighs when the flowers fall.

The color of the flowers will change this year. Who will bloom next year?

It has been seen that the pines and cypresses are urged to be paid, and it is even heard that the Cangtian has turned into the sea.

The ancients didn't find the east of Luocheng, but today's people still face the wind of falling flowers.

One year spent similar, each year is different.

……

So this Liu Tingzhi turned out to be Liu Xiyi, shit!As a student who graduated from the Chinese Department in later generations, how could Tang Cheng not know him?Not to mention his major, but all Chinese who have gone to school in later generations may not know Liu Xiyi, or may not know "Dai Bei Pulsatilla", but they don't know that "the flowers are similar every year, and the flowers are similar every year. People are different" can be said that there is not even a single one.

Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, Liu Jingwen, who was about to hold a literary conference in Jinzhou City, turned out to be his relative.

"Is Mr. Ting Zhi still alive?" Not to mention the unknown date of Liu Xiyi's death in later history books, even Tang Cheng couldn't remember the details, but he really likes this song "Grassing Pulsatilla", and it is inevitable that he loves the house and the black Gossip about its author.

Hearing this, the old master Yan, who had just recited the entire chapter and was still immersed in the poem, shook his head sadly, "The Sri Lankan has passed away, more than ten years ago."

From the ill-fated Wang Bo and other four masters, to Chen Ziang and the current Liu Xiyi, most of the outstanding poets in the early Tang Dynasty seemed to live forever. It is a pity to think about it. Tang Cheng followed the old master Yan for a while, and then his mind changed When he came back, Yin asked a question that was most relevant to him, "Teacher, I don't know if the state government will also participate in this literary meeting?".

"How can we miss him in this kind of Wenhui?" When talking about leaving the horse, Old Master Yan frowned slightly.

I didn't tell the teacher about my work in the state government!Why did Old Master Yan do this?After a while, Tang Cheng came to his senses. With Old Master Yan's Fangzheng, it would be strange if he could see a horse who is used to flirtatiousness!

On the third day after Old Master Yan told the news, it was the ten-day holiday of the prefectural government, and Liu Jingwen's literary meeting was also held on this day. In a carriage, he went out of the city and went straight to Liu's Bieye to attend the literary meeting.

Chapter 116 I'm Not a Soft Persimmon

The people of the Tang Dynasty like to buy other properties for summer vacation or leisure and entertainment, which is quite similar to the rich people of later generations.The trend of setting up other properties is not limited to princes and relatives, but rich people with some money in their families, especially literati with some financial resources, are keen on it. Among them, the most famous one is probably Wangchuan Bie job.

Liu Jingwen’s villa is located about ten miles outside Jinzhou City, backed by the beautiful mountains and rivers of the remaining veins of the Qinling Mountains. On the left is a peach blossom forest covering an area of ​​tens of acres. The Hanshui River can be described as the beauty of tranquility and tranquility. The most commendable thing is that the "Three Pools Reflecting the Moon", known as the first of the ten scenic spots in Jinzhou, is not far from Bieye, which adds another night of lights to Bieye. A good place to swim.

Because of the above, although there are many other properties outside the city of Jinzhou, the most famous one is Liyuan. Liu Jingwen is also proud of it, and spared no expense in the renovation, which created the beautiful scenery that Tang Cheng saw at this time. .

Unexpectedly, a little-known villa outside the city of Jinzhou has more garden essence than the well-known Kangyuan in Yangzhou. Tang Cheng followed Mr. Yan all the way, and amidst the clear sounds of autumn flowers and birdsong, he couldn't help but yearn for it. heart of.

Compared with the garden in front of him, the new house in Jinzhou that he has been very satisfied with these days suddenly pales in comparison. Life is all about quality. If you can also buy a garden, it will be the ingenuity that future generations saw when they visited famous gardens in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. What kind of pleasure should it be to introduce them one by one, and to travel with your family in the perfect fusion of exquisite beauty and the beauty of mountains, rivers and countryside?

When the stomach is not full, the first thing people think of is survival.But when the problem of survival is solved, life will follow, such as an elegant courtyard house!When this pursuit has also been achieved, as Tang Cheng is now, he will start thinking about the other industry with a better quality of life.

Life in the world always requires continuous efforts and efforts. Effort is a very abstract word, but it is a real thing that reflects the results of efforts.

"I came here five years ago. Compared with that day, the garden is more and more exquisite." While admiring the beautiful scenery of leaving the garden, Mr. Yan, who was walking slowly, still never forgot to teach his lover, "Speaking of it, The owner of this garden, Liu Jingwen, is very handsome, but it's a pity that his mind is useless on the right path, otherwise he would not have been delayed until now and still has not established his fame. From this point of view, the sage's words of "playing with things and losing one's ambition" are true. Tang Cheng , you should take it as a warning, and you must not be fascinated by the sensuality in front of you."

Fame is fame, and it is true that a person should work hard, but he has money but does not know how to enjoy it. It is difficult for Tang Cheng, who is a time traveler, to agree with this attitude towards life, but in getting along with Master Yan, such a conflict of ideas is too much. Too much, it's useless to distinguish, and no one can try to convince anyone, so although Tang Cheng didn't agree with the old master's statement, he never argued with him.

"However, although Liu Jingwen's intentions are not dedicated, he said in a letter from an old man in the state last month that he has a cousin who is very good, and his talent is still higher than Liu Jingwen's back then. The most rare thing is that this son can work hard. I don’t even want to live in the bustling state city.” The old master Yan, who has been a teacher all his life, has a serious occupational disease. When he talks about such a hard-working and studious underachiever, he can’t help but caress his chin and show a happy expression on his face.

Tang Cheng, who was admiring the garden scenery, didn't bother to ask who Liu Jingwen's aunt and cousin were, so he just responded casually!

Walking along the stone-paved path into the depths of the Li Garden, the two of them arrived at the main venue of the literary fair—the Chrysanthemum Terrace.

The chrysanthemum terrace is located in the center of the garden, and there is a quiet lake with clear water brought in from the Han River. There are no less than a thousand chrysanthemums planted all over the water bank.

It was late autumn, and although the flowers were dying, it was the time when the thick chrysanthemums were in full bloom, which means "the flowers will kill after I bloom". More than a thousand chrysanthemums of more than a dozen varieties bloomed together inside and outside the lake. .

Witnessing such a scene in front of him, Tang Cheng suddenly thought of Huang Chao Yinju's famous sentence - the fragrance of soaring sky penetrates Chang'an, and the whole city is full of golden armor.

When he was admiring the chrysanthemums, Old Master Yan had already exchanged greetings with the old friends who had come to the literary meeting earlier.

Old Master Yan has been in Jinzhou for many years, and he works in the state school. There are quite a few old friends and even disciples. What followed was constant pleasantries.

It was through such introductions and greetings that after nearly two years of traveling through time, Tang Cheng finally officially entered the Jinzhou literary world and entered the most core circle of scholars in the state.

In the process of exchanging greetings, Tang Cheng heard that the scribes who came earlier were talking about one topic--Liu Jingwen, who came back from Yangzhou, invited back a prostitute family with an excellent singing voice. The famous brothel became famous last month with a new poem whose origin is unknown, and now it can be said that it is the time when it is red and purple.

This prostitute family must be famous, good-looking, and have a good voice, but what made all the scribes sigh is that this girl is not plump enough, she is exactly the kind of slender girl that Ma Biejia likes in Honshu.

When the gossip came to this point, all the literati smiled knowingly. Needless to say, Liu Jingwen's purpose for arranging this literary meeting is to stay away from the horse, maybe he has something else to ask to be under Mr. Don't drive!

Tang Cheng only occasionally listened to these gossips, and now he really didn't have time to ask anything. As the time for the literary meeting approached, more and more people arrived, following Old Master Yan. He didn't even have time to exchange pleasantries, there was still time to participate in such gossip.
