Tang's dining table

Yun Chu hasn't seen Wen Rou for more than ten days. He only heard that he was very busy.

Because it was snowing, Yunchu couldn't find him, because Wen Wen said that his wife liked to build snowmen with him when it snowed.

Thinking about it makes me feel romantic. The love of people in the Tang Dynasty is really good.

Another person who has the same love is a bookkeeper recently hired by the Yun family, named Du Brau.

Shrike is the name of a bird whose main features are a large and strong beak, with a hook and notch at the tip of the upper beak, slightly like an eagle's beak; short round wings, usually in the shape of a convex tail; strong feet and hooked toes. Sexually ferocious.

It eats very cruelly. It usually sticks some small birds, insects, or small beasts like lizards on the spikes, and then uses its big mouth to tear them into pieces and eat them bit by bit.

Those that cannot be eaten are put on sharp thorns to dry, so that when food is scarce, they can be kept to continue eating.

Du Brau has nothing to do with the character of this kind of bird. He is a scholar with a very gentle temperament, but he did not study well. He failed to pass the Jinshi examination and failed to enter the Sixth School of the Imperial College. He made a living by settling accounts for others.

In fact, this was the fate of ordinary scholars in the Tang Dynasty.

When he came, he brought a little boy about seven or eight years old. The little boy didn't look very confident and timid. For some reason, he didn't see Du Brau bring his wife over. After all, the Yun family's accountant It includes food, accommodation and wages.

Er Fei, the servant girl who does needlework for the Yun family, likes this man very much, and even more likes the boy who always looks at others timidly.

Naha gave the candied haws to Er Fei because it was sour. Soon, the candied haws will appear in the little boy's hand.

For some reason, Er Fei even took the time to mend the old clothes of the Du family and his son, which made the Du family and his son look much neater. However, there was still no smile on Du Brau's face.

"If you think I'm good enough, just say so and I'll move in with you. We don't ask for a matchmaker, we just want to be able to spend the rest of our lives together.

My husband and his wife are very good people. Even though he bought me, as long as I beg my wife, she will definitely fill up my household registration and erase my lowly status.

In this way, when Xiao Dong'er succeeds in studying, it won't be a drag on him. "

Du Brau looked at his son tugging at Er Fei's skirt, then nodded and said, "Okay, but I still need the matchmaker's words."

In the evening, when Yu Xiurong mentioned this matter to Yun Chu, Yun Chu laughed silently.

When Er Fei first entered the Yun family, he was actually the most depressed person. He only wanted to live a relaxed life in the Yun family for a few years. When the old man could no longer work, he would find a way to kill himself. People who want to live but are a little tired of living.

It seems that the past few years in the Yun family have eliminated her idea of ​​being tired of life, and now she knows how to actively pursue greater happiness, so this is a good thing.

"I feel that Erfa is used to being at home. Even if she gets married, she can continue to be a sewing lady at home. Anyway, I like Erfa very much. She talks little and works carefully.

If you look closely, Er Fei and Du Brau are a good match, and they might even be able to have children in the future. "

Whether the second fat man can have a child mainly depends on Du Brau's ability. If he is powerful enough and his fertility is strong enough, it is possible for a thirty-nine-year-old woman to have a child.

Yunchu felt that fulfilling the happiness of others was a common conscience that a conscientious capitalist of the Tang Dynasty and a big landowner should have.

Only by squeezing with moderation and grabbing with restraint can the feudal dynasty of the Tang Dynasty last longer, and only then can big capitalists and big landowners have more and longer good lives.

Otherwise, when Huang Chao starts reciting his famous poem "The city is full of golden armor", the big capitalists and landowners will have no choice but to be thrown into a huge stone mill and ground into pulp.

Yu Xiurong prepared a dowry of two thousand yuan for Er Fei, and the other servant girls also collected a dowry of two thousand yuan for Er Fei, plus the many copper coins that Er Fei had accumulated at home over the years. With the copper hairpin, Xiniang led her to Du Brau's dormitory over there in the humble house.

She became the wife that the matchmaker was marrying.

Chang'an has entered winter, and many people in Chang'an have nothing to do during this season, so things like getting married have appeared one after another.

People in Jinchangfang began to get married in groups, which was a sign of affluence. Yunchu would occasionally select one or two families to attend the wedding, and each time they were treated as honored guests and sat with a group of old men with white beards.

It was in this lively month of November that Yun Chu finally received the news of his promotion to Wannian County County Magistrate.

Yunchu was a little disappointed. He originally thought he would become the magistrate of Wannian County. Unfortunately, the magistrate of Wannian County is still Magistrate Zheng Mingda and Zheng.

It's not that you are gentle and don't work hard, but that if you want to impeach an upright official, it is not enough to have evidence, and you have to go through a long judicial process.

First, there will be a joint review by the junior three divisions, and then by the big three divisions. After the joint review by the three divisions, it will go through the Yushitai, Menxiasu Province for review, and then it will be submitted to Changsun Wuji for review. After Changsun Wuji's verification, it can be placed on the emperor's desk.

This time usually takes at least half a year.

Yunchu becoming the county magistrate was something that everyone expected, so there weren't many surprises.

Since the Big Wild Goose Pagoda was built, pesky creatures like pigeons have begun to appear in Jinchangfang. They live under the eaves of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, defecating as they fly, and countless people have fallen victim to it.

The monks in the temple love all living things, so the people who came to Jinchangfang tried to get rid of these nasty pigeons.

So, at night, some people climbed up to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and caught pigeons one by one. Hearing that the meat was delicious, Yunchu got hundreds of wild pigeons.

Yu Xiurong didn't understand Yun Chu's practice of cutting off all the pigeon wings but not killing the pigeons for soup.

"There was an old bird thief who kept many birds at home, including thirty pigeons. I asked him for it, but he was humiliated."

Yun Chu said angrily.

"Bird thief? Are you talking about Danyang County Duke Li Keshi? Why does he humiliate his husband?"

"The old bird thief's pigeon can carry messages, even if it travels thousands of miles, it can travel back and forth, and it can be accurate.

I asked him for pigeons, and he asked me to give him a bay-red horse in exchange, which was really unworthy of me. "

"Of course the bay-red horse won't work. Didn't my husband say that he would give me a generous gift?"

"I told you, and I said it was the best mutton-fat white jade, but in the end, the old bird thief thought I was humiliating him, and even took a knife to fight with me.

If I hadn't seen that the old bird thief was getting older, I could have knocked out all the teeth in his mouth to prevent him from scolding me in the most vicious words. "

"Homing pigeons can carry messages, and Danyang County Duke is known to love birds. Is it inappropriate for my husband to ask for it rashly?"

"There's nothing wrong with that. He first asked if our family's quilt business could be shared with his family to do in Danyang.

After being rejected by me, I asked him again for a carrier pigeon, and he asked for a bay horse. I refused, and then he was humiliated. This is not bad. You rejected me, and I reject you. Let me see if there is still greed. The old thief still wants to worry about our business. "

"Why are these people like this? The quilt business is our family's exclusive business. How can he open his mouth like this?"

"Hmph, you are looking too high on these veterans. In fact, they are all a group of veterans who have come through troubled times.

When the war started, it was not necessarily for the country or the people. It was just to gain personal wealth and make the world peaceful, and everyone was greedy.

Did you know that the old thief has more than 8,000 acres of land in Danyang? I heard that the courtyard of his fiefdom is a military stronghold.

I don’t know why he raises so many Danyang people. You may not know that there are two places in the world that produce good soldiers, one is Guanzhong, and the other is Danyang soldiers.

If Su Dingfang asked for the secret recipe for quilts, he would give it to him. Even if it was Liang Jianfang who asked for it, I would give it to him and others would not be able to do it.

Rouwen told me that you must know what to do when dealing with these veterans who are worried.

Otherwise, God knows, I will be tricked by them that day.

Emperor Taizong had always been suspicious of his brother Li Jing and had been supervising him all his life. As a result, Li Jing also spent his whole life in vain.

What I want to know now is that Emperor Taizong is a rare open-minded person. He doesn’t even doubt people like Hou Junji, so why should he doubt Li Jing?

All we can say is that there must be something suspicious about Li Jing.

The old bird thief is far inferior to his brother. He built his house in Danyang like a military camp, and he doesn't know who he is guarding against. "

When he was with Yu Xiurong, Yun Chu had no need to hide his true thoughts.

Since I was promoted, I naturally wanted to visit the homes of those veterans. Although my promotion had nothing to do with them, I still went from house to house with the idea of ​​​​drinking water and remembering my source.

It's fine when I go to other people's homes, but something is wrong when I'm at Master Li's home. All he talks about is money.

Logically speaking, he should not be short of money, but now he has fallen in love with money. What is the reason that makes him so hungry for money?

Yunchu was going to wait for Wenrou to come over and ask him to check to see what this person was going to do.

Yunchu really wanted to have a group of homing pigeons. If he developed one, it would be very convenient for him to contact Di Renjie in Bingzhou.

As for Pei Xingjian who is far away in the Western Regions, or Zhang Jianzhi who is in Tuyuhun, it is impossible to contact them through pigeons. There are too many kites, eagles and so on in the northwest, and there are not enough pigeons for them to eat.

It is basically impossible to tame wild pigeons, so what Yun Chu cares about is the eggs laid by these pigeons. After the eggs hatch, he will take the mother pigeons to stew soup and guard the young pigeons by himself. In this way, there are Maybe a bunch of domestic pigeons came out.

Although Yunchu didn't know how to tame pigeons, as a descendant of Tiger Balm, he still knew that pigeons' ability to sense the geomagnetic field and their unique love for the nest were the key to taming pigeons.
