Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

Chapter 142

Two days passed in a blink of an eye, and what remained unchanged in Chang'an was the refugees who lined up outside the Great Wall from sunrise to sunset every day.

Even those who guessed the number of days before did not expect that Duke Anxuan would still have enough energy to continue supporting after spending so much money.

But after the night fell, it was different from the past, because the curfew was lifted in Chang'an tonight, and the brothel was the happiest among them.

Even paying more city taxes is nothing more than a drop in the bucket for the brothel, but under the darkness of night, the business of the brothel is even more booming than in the past.

Of course, the focus of attention of all Chang'an scholars today is not a brothel or anything else, but a newly opened restaurant.

Shu An has always been willing to do nothing, but if he wants to do it, he must do his best, so he has spent a lot of thought on the decoration of the restaurant.

Because of the night, the restaurant is hung with red lanterns from left to right, as if it is in a dimly lit place.

A lot of potted plants were arranged in an orderly manner around the entrance of the restaurant, and a piece of red silk was laid on the ground, extending toward the depth of the restaurant.

On the plaque of the restaurant is the heaven and earth written by Shu An, and the handwriting of the master level, even the passing scholars must stay.

The opening of such a restaurant in the most prosperous area of ​​Chang'an City can be said to make many people's eyes light up, and they don't know where the news leaked from.

It turned out that the place where Duke Anxuan hosted the banquets for many aristocratic families in Chang'an was here, and before night fell, many people had gathered nearby.

I want to know who participated in An Xuangong's banquet this time, except for some scholars who did not receive the invitation, there are also some merchants and the like.

First of all, it was not anyone else but Du Ruhui who arrived first. As a student, Du Ruhui did not neglect him because of his status, but was the first to arrive first.

"That's Lord Cai Guogong, I didn't expect to be the first to arrive."

"It is said that Master Du is a student of Duke An Xuan, and has always had great respect for Duke An Xuan."

"It seems that the rumors are true. The fact that Mr. Du's identity came so early has already represented his sincerity."

There were voices of discussion, and no one underestimated Du Ruhui because Du Ruhui came earlier. After all, respecting teachers and teaching is the mainstream in this era.

This move of Du Ruhui not only won't be underestimated, but also secretly praised by many people.

Not long after, the person who received the invitation also appeared and was also recognized by the people around him.

"Hedong Pei's and Hongnong Yang's are here."

"This is Duke Yi, as well as Duke Lu and Duke E."

"The Patriarch of the Anpingfang of the Cui Clan of Boling, who is said to have a close relationship with Duke Anxuan, has also come."

After the dignitaries who arrived were recognized, many scholars and merchants were instantly surprised.

Even though he knew that Duke Anxuan was famous all over the world, some people didn't know the specific manifestations before.

But today I know that these civil servants and military generals in the court, as well as aristocratic families, can explain the influence of Duke Anxuan.

What's more, there are still some people who haven't come. You must know that Mr. Anxuan is full of peaches and plums, and this invitation has only been sent out for two or three days.

That is to say, the people in Chang'an have only received invitations. If one or two months' notice is given in advance, then I believe there will definitely be more than this number of people.

"I just asked Xiaoer in Heaven and Earth, and it is said that there are still many places in it, but you need to pay the usual entrance fee."

Suddenly, a word resounded among the crowd of onlookers, and the people who had imagined going in to have a look were instantly excited.

But not everyone thinks so, because the consistent money is not a small amount, it is worth a tael of silver, and it is only the entry fee.

"The usual money is naturally worth it. There are so many dignitaries in it, and Duke Anxuan appeared on the stage. It can be said that he has given enough face."

A businessman said with a flushed face, he is also considered a rich man with a lot of prestige in Chang'an, but he is just a scholar, farmer, businessman, and businessman.

After all, the status of the merchant was low, so he never thought that he would still have the opportunity to enter the banquet held by Duke Anxuan, and sit at the same table with the patriarchs of these aristocratic families and important officials of the court.

It can be said that this is simply unimaginable, so these merchants hurriedly walked towards the heaven and the earth without any hesitation, it was just money.

Not only this merchant, but many rich merchants in Chang'an did not hesitate. They always only have a lot of money, but this opportunity is rare.

This made some scholars who originally wanted to criticize could not help but withdraw their words. Could it be that they said that seeing Lord Anxuan was not worth the price.

It's not worth the price to sit with so many important court officials and patriarchs of aristocratic families.

For ordinary scholars, there is always a lot of money, but there are still some scholars who gritted their teeth and wanted to go in and have a try.

However, when they had just made up their minds and walked to the entrance of the restaurant, they were told that there were no seats left, which made these scholars dumbfounded.

Not to mention what happened outside the restaurant, after entering the heaven and earth, even these well-informed Chang'an dignitaries couldn't help but be impressed.

The surrounding lanterns were hung in mid-air, and even at night, the entire restaurant was still illuminated, enough for people to see it at a glance.

You must know that it is not easy to make candles in this era, and only rich people can use them, let alone so many lanterns.

Just spending money for one night is not a small sum, and apart from the lanterns, the tables and chairs used by Shu An are not ordinary square tables.

It is a round table, and the chairs are not long rides, but armchairs, and the chairs are wrapped in animal fur, which is extremely soft to sit on.

Fur in this era is also extremely expensive. It can be said that the lantern and fur alone are a huge expense.

"The teacher is really generous."

Even Du Ruhui, an important court official who often stayed in the palace for banquets, couldn't help sighing secretly when he saw these things.

Of course, Du Ruhui didn't miss the price of everything on the wall, none of which was less than a hundred dollars.

But after thinking about the culinary skills of the Shu Mansion, even Du Ruhui couldn't help swallowing, and didn't think that the price was outrageous.

It's just that the complexions of some aristocratic patriarchs who didn't know the situation and some people couldn't help but have a lot of changes. On the one hand, they sighed at the decoration.

In addition, there is some hesitation about the price. With such a high price, would anyone come to this restaurant? It's just that this question remains in their hearts for the time being.

Standing on the second floor, Shu An took in the expressions of these people, but there was not much change in his expressions, because he had confidence in himself.
