Tang's dining table

In the past, Changsun Chong rarely went out. Even when he did go out, he would recite poems with a group of Chang'an talents, express his love for the mountains and rivers, and live his life as plainly as clear water.

Now, Changsun Chong has begun to condescend to attend the birthday banquets of people like Yang Huaisu, which shows that Changsun Wuji has felt that he is not very good and has begun to win over people.

When Liu Yi, the housekeeper of the Yunchu family, gave birthday gifts to the Yang Huaisu family, he gave them four-color gifts.

Birthday noodles, longevity peaches made of flour, a jar of good wine, and a packet of good tea were not expensive items. However, the two birthday peaches that were as big as human heads were placed on the table and became the most conspicuous birthday gift of the day.

When Yunchu took Liu Tao and Liu Rui away from Yang Huaisu's house, each of the two brothers got a good set of the Four Treasures of the Study.

As for Yunchu, they directly served meat dishes and gave away a thousand catties of salted fish.

Salted fish is a business of the Changsun family.

But don’t look down on the salted fish trade. When salt was bought and sold exclusively by the government, salted fish was another way for people to obtain salt.

Yun Chu took the salted fish home and asked the cook to process it carefully. At least one hundred kilograms of salt could be obtained.

If the water in which the salted fish is soaked is steamed again, dozens of kilograms of salt can be produced in the end.

For this reason, the Changsun family's salted fish business has always been very good. I heard that their salted fish is even sold as far away as Mengshezhao in Yunnan and Guizhou.

In addition to the salted fish business, the other big business of the Changsun family is iron. There are seven iron mountains in the Changsun family alone.

Eighty percent of the iron workshops in Chang'an City belong to the Changsun family.

So, Yunchu's seemingly prosperous business can at best be regarded as a toad in front of the elephant of the Changsun family? ...or a quail? It definitely can’t get any bigger.

If Yunchu jumped out to go against the Changsun family, he would definitely end up being trampled by Changsun Wuji into a photo.

Therefore, Yun Chu can only live a very ordinary happy life of a Tang Dynasty person now.

Try not to think about the fact that the Changsun family will soon start to suffer misfortune.

Because even if the eldest grandson's family is unlucky, this process will last for a long time.

Socializing at Yang Huaisu's house is very necessary. The most people here are not big bosses, but a large number of middle-level officials.

Looking at the crowds of people on three floors outside and around Zhang Sun Chong, Yun Chu knew that Zhang Sun Chong was more effective in socializing.

Celebrations in the Tang Dynasty usually lasted for a long time, especially when the bright and clear music from the Western Regions played, people could not help but want to dance.

The good thing about Western music is that it is endless and can be played over and over again. Even when they find that the audience or dancers react particularly enthusiastically when hearing a certain piece of music, they will play this piece again and again to let everyone Have fun listening to it.

The music of the Tang Dynasty is not like this. It has a beginning and an end, a prologue, a narrative, a climax, a fall, and finally ends slowly.

Therefore, the music of the Tang Dynasty generally tells a story with a beginning and an end, and is organized.

But the music of the Western Regions is not like this. The music they create is just for people to dance and have fun.

In the Tang Dynasty, if you wanted to make the place more lively, you could not lack Western musicians and dancers who were good at singing and dancing.

The same was true for Yang Huaisu's birthday banquet. Except for the short birthday games in the first half that followed the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty, the rest was one carnival after another.

Liu Tao was still a little reluctant to let go, but Liu Rui was really, really happy playing. Yun Chu even saw that this guy had the courage to put his hand down on the plump ass of the Western Dancer.

In fact, it's nothing. Anyway, the female dancer from the Western Regions has many hands on her body, some are grabbing, some are rubbing, some are pinching, and some are twisting. In contrast, Liu Rui just puts her hands there to feel. The dancers' muscles move in a very polite manner.

Jar after jar of wine was being sent in, and chunks of meat were being delivered in chunks. Everyone seemed happy. Only Yunchu saw through the gaps in the crowd that Changsun Chong seemed slightly melancholy.

However, his demeanor, his movements, sitting, lying and walking, he is almost handsome in all directions. Even if he looks very melancholy, it can still make people want to help him.

There was a mountain of various delicacies in front of Chang Sun Chong, and the delicacies around Yun Chu had been almost eaten by Liu Tao and Liu Rui.

Just when everyone's banquet was reaching its climax, a woman walking and playing the pipa suddenly appeared in the yard. Behind the woman was a strong man tapping the iron plate.

Just when the sound of the pipa reached its peak, the strong man put away the iron plate and sang loudly: "Thousands of miles away, the yellow clouds are shining brightly, the north wind is blowing the wild geese and the snow is falling, don't worry about having no friends in the road ahead, and no one in the world knows you." "

This song itself is very suitable for the heroes of Kansai to sing. Coupled with the combination of iron plate and copper lute, the hope and heroism of this song are fully expressed at once. In addition, the Yangguan Sandie is used at the end. The singing style is so that the singing has the appearance of breaking through the sky and splitting the clouds.

Liu Tao bit a bone in his mouth and looked at Yun Chu with admiration. Liu Rui hurriedly put down the hand he was about to put to his nose to smell the dancer's body fragrance, and looked at Yun Chu who was slowly drinking wine with great admiration.

"It's a good poem "Farewell to Di Da". Di Renjie became well-known because of this poem, all thanks to Magistrate Yun."

Changsun Chong picked up the wine bowl and gave Yun Chu a distant salute, then he and Yun Chu picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

When everyone started to feast again, Yun Chu looked at Yang Ying who was standing in the yard and smiled at him, picked up a bowl of wine and drank it all in one gulp.

Liu Rui looked at Yang Ying, then at Liu Tao whose mouth was full of food, and whispered in Yun Chu's ear: "If the county magistrate and my father were not close friends, we brothers would have no chance." ?”

Yun Chu nodded and said, "Learn a little. You and your family are all upright people. This is a great disadvantage. Now we are short of a cunning person. You should carry this banner up."

Liu Ruidao: "I will."

Yunchu asked again: "Do you like such an occasion?"

"like."

"So, do you enjoy the noise?"

"Enjoyed it."

"That's good, go ahead and become friends with Yang Ying. As Yang Huaisu said, young people should support each other and help each other climb up."

Liu Rui nodded and said, "I will help Brother Yang Ying well."

After finishing speaking, Liu Rui was seen staggering to find Yang Ying with a bottle of wine.

Yun Chu picked up the wine bowl and touched it with Liu Tao. They both drank the wine happily.

What Liu Tao didn't know was that after drinking this bowl of wine, he would never have anything to do with his official career in his life.

By the time it got late and Yun Chu took Liu Tao and Liu Rui away from Yang Huaisu's house, Liu Rui and Yang Ying had become very good friends. Judging from the way they parted, even though they were both in Acting, but it took a long time to wait for two people to act.

Maybe feelings of sympathy and sympathy will arise.

Liu Tao and Liu Rui returned home with gifts in hand, and were not questioned by Liu Rengui. The two of them were very strange.

However, their mother, Feng, took them into the house and asked them to tell them everything about today's events.

After the two sons left their mother's room, Feng said to Liu Rengui who was lying in the back room: "Is there anything we can do about it?"

Liu Rentrack: "They have grown up and do their own things."

Feng immediately said with a smile: "In that case, I will go to Tao'er and Rui'er to prepare.

Let Tao'er take his wife and daughter with him to avoid any changes. "

Liu Rengui lay on the bed, turned over, and showed a smile on his face. Since Yun Chu was willing to take Liu Tao and Liu Rui with him, he didn't have to worry about anything.

In July, the emperor still did not leave Chang'an to escape the summer heat in Jiucheng Palace. This was something very wrong.

Every May, when the weather just warmed up, the emperor would take his concubines to Jiucheng Palace to escape the summer heat, and would not return until the weather cooled in September. ‘

This is almost a common practice in the Tang Dynasty. At this time of year, whenever the emperor leaves, the nobles and wealthy families in Chang'an City will leave the hot Chang'an City one after another to go to Lishan Mountain, Lantian, and Zhongnan Mountain to escape the summer heat.

This year, the emperor did not leave Chang'an, so those nobles and wealthy families did not dare to leave Chang'an.

Yunchu guessed that Wu Mei was going to be canonized as queen, but Liu Rengui thought that the emperor had a deeper idea, which is currently unknown.

Therefore, the two of them began to leave Chang'an City to inspect cotton fields, farmland, and water conservancy. They would not be able to return in five or six days.

Because Wen Wen occasionally caught a cold, she simply stayed in the Wannian County government office to recuperate. Because she was afraid of being exposed to the light, she ate and lived in the Wannian County jail.

Di Renjie accurately tracked a veteran named Zhang Wu. Just as the Dali Temple detectives had surrounded the man in Yiningfang and were preparing to capture him alive, a black object was thrown out of the yard by Zhang Wu. .

Fortunately, Di Renjie was sharp and ordered all his men to disperse at the first opportunity. As a result, the thing exploded after it hit the ground. Although none of the detectives died, three of them were injured.

When the detectives held up their shields and forced their way into the courtyard, they discovered that Zhang Wu was tightly clustered with three seriously injured people, holding a black lump with sparks in his hand.

There was another loud noise, and the four people led by Zhang Wu were blown up by gunpowder and their bodies were torn apart.

Di Renjie and others found six gunpowder bombs in the yard where Zhang Wu lived, which can be regarded as both stolen goods and stolen property.

It is a pity that all the people involved in the case are dead, all the clues in this case have been cut off, and it can no longer be pursued.

Di Renjie reported to Peng Shou, the young minister of Dali Temple, that if he wanted to solve the case, he could only wait for the gangsters to commit another crime again.

This is not the opinion of Di Renjie alone, but the unified opinion given by the six experts in solving crimes summoned by Dali Temple this time.

Two days later, Dali Temple sent the explosives found in Yiningfang to the gunpowder workshop of Wuyan Institute.

The imperial censors and officials who had been chattering endlessly about this matter suddenly lost their voices collectively, and the court became calm and drizzle again.

Everyone seems to have forgotten the murder of the Tibetan envoys and the eldest son of Lu Dongzan, and they still have no clue.
