Chinese dining table

Chapter 122 The Feudal Era of Dog Day

Choi is a good person.

This Yun Chu can prove that she is not only good to her master Yun Chu and Naha, but she is also good to all the people in the yard who are attached to the Yun family.

During the day, the maid who broke a pile of porcelain was whipped twice by her, but at night, she would take ointment to help her wound, and said a lot.

Therefore, the maids in the yard are very afraid of Cui Shi, but they are willing to be the first to tell Cui Shi when they encounter something.

Cui Shi is a person who has suffered a lot, so she knows how difficult the current life is.

After leaving Chang'an for 14 years, now that she is back, no one knows her. Even the people who were close as sisters in the past are like strangers when they meet at the foot of Juhuang in Jinchangfang.

One is a lady with a high bun on the temples and hairpin rings all over her hair, and the other is a servant woman in green cloth and plain clothes with thorn hairpins on her head.

One walked on the avenue with his head held high, looking at all directions, and the other bowed his head and waited on the side of the road, waiting for the nobleman to go first.

It's not that Cui's disguise is good, but, so what if they know each other?
Tell me about the pain of the past 14 years, or do you want her to help you restore your former glory?

In 14 years, I have been humiliated and emaciated, so instead of humbly looking for the remaining trace of family affection, it is better to stay in the Yun family and help this proud young man of the Yun family achieve great things.

At least, after stepping into Yun's house, she never suffered any humiliation, which was impossible in the past.

Cui knew that the Patriarch Yunchu was different from all the patriarchs she knew. The biggest difference was that this patriarch didn't like slaves.

It's not that he doesn't like having slaves in his family, but he doesn't like all slaves and slave owners.

Such a patriarch was originally in Chang'an, and could not survive in Datang, but he was really smart and made up for his shortcomings very well.

In the bathhouse, I watched Naha use the most stupid way to help the poor—distribute money!
She gave money to everyone she met, and she didn't have enough money, which made the little girl unhappy.

Cui embraced Naha with a distressed expression in her arms, wanted to laugh, but couldn't, and wanted to warn Naha not to do this, but found that she was not qualified, and had no position to say anything wrong with this child, because, she Nothing is wrong.

Naha was secretly touching Cui Shi's chest which was no longer plump...Cui Shi held the child who was secretly missing her mother tightly in her arms, wishing she could become the child's mother and give her all the pampering .

Di Renjie, who hadn't seen him for a long time, moved into the humble room with plum blossoms and a humble room name.

At the same time, a lot of students moved in. In the past, the usual monthly fee seemed unattainable. Now, as the value of copper coins has fallen, this high price has become very reasonable.

Therefore, all the empty houses in Jinchangfang were soon filled with people.

The old Kaiyuan Tongbao is no longer seen on the market, and it is replaced by new money. The money has been changed, but the prices in Chang'an City have not dropped.

The canteen for the scholars has already opened, and no money is used for transactions here, and the scholars usually come to eat with special bamboo chips.

Here, three meals are served a day, and if you want to eat the fourth meal served in the middle of the night, you have to spend your own money to buy bamboo chips.

Yunchu used to eat with bamboo sticks, just like he used to eat in the cafeteria with meal tickets at school.

Today's meals include steamed buns, corn rice, noodle soup... a total of sixteen kinds of dishes, each bamboo chip can only eat four kinds, and there is a free thing called sleeve soup, which looks like a lot of silk floating on it. Egg flowers, in fact, no one can get what they want from it.

Yunchu used a box to pack some cold lotus vegetables for himself, made a fried egg, and the mutton cook only gave one piece, and took a salt vegetable pot, put two whole wheat steamed buns on the chopsticks, and found an empty seat Sitting down, seeing everyone queuing up to play the sleeve soup again, I went over to get a bowl.

When Yun Chu saw that Di Renjie, who was sitting across from him, filled his plate full of red roasted pork in sauce, he couldn't help but asked, "Do you want to fatten yourself up in the future?"

Di Renjie curled his lips and said, "You charge me the usual money a month, and you still don't allow me to eat enough?"

Seeing the fatty pork go into Di Renjie's bloody mouth, Yun Chu shook his head, thinking that it was right for this guy to be fatter, after all, he had seen all the fat ones before, except for a thin one.

"How did you go to Chongrenfang? You got a few embroidered ribbons, but I don't see you coming to my place to show off."

Di Renjie shook his head and said, "Something happened."

"Caught him on the spot?"

"Well, it would be fine if it was like this. Being caught by someone is nothing more than a few sticks. After all, this kind of thing is still a matter of your choice. As long as you don't sleep with other people's mistresses or concubines, you can basically nothing happened.

The problem is, Qiu Shenji, a bastard, strangled a little maidservant to death while he was doing business. "

"Qiu Shenji, why does this name sound familiar to me?"

"Youwuwei General Qiu Xinggong's son, who is now the supervisor of the Imperial Academy, was there that night.

It was a very interesting thing, but he did it like this, which made everyone lose interest, and there were a few who broke justice with this bastard on the spot, and I was one of them. "

"There's no back end to this matter?"

"No, that family is from Tubo, and the former Tubo Prime Minister Lu Dongzan's residence in my Tang Dynasty was there.

The family didn't care about the death of a little servant girl, and even gave Qiu Shenji a golden hairpin, saying that she didn't serve Qiu Shenji well.

Qiu Shenji used that golden hairpin as a headband to invite us to Sixiangju to drink and watch songs and dances, but we were all rejected. Then, this bastard swore that if we don't give him face today, he will definitely not show us face in the future. "

Hearing what Di Renjie said, Yunchu finally remembered who this person was, he was the third cruel official in the Tang Dynasty after Lai Junchen and Zhou Xing.

"Will you still participate in this kind of group activities in the future?"

"No, I won't go again, many high-ranking officials and dignitaries sent out their condescending maidservants out of the house in those few days, just waiting for our group of high school students to go to the carnival.

It is said that if these maidservants become pregnant, the family will get a reading seed, which will become the family's son in the future, and will be slaves for generations.

It is not enough for Lao Tzu's descendants to spread branches and leaves, how can there be any surplus for others to serve as slaves. "

Yunchu was still dissatisfied with Di Renjie's words. After he finished his meal in a hurry, he habitually stood up to check the dining situation of everyone in the cafeteria.

After reading it again, I found that I was too worried. It seems that the Tang people here have been suffering from the food of the Tang Dynasty for a long time. Many people still want to eat after eating. Those who have money will take out a bamboo chip to continue eating. Those who have no money , I had no choice but to make a bowl of throwing sleeve soup with nothing in it, and drink it without taking a sip.

"I found that your disdain for me has deepened." Di Renjie threw the last piece of fatty pork into his mouth, and swallowed it without seeing him chew it.

"What do you think about the high prices these days?"

"I don't have any opinion. This kind of thing happens every ten years. It's not surprising that after two years of suffering, prices will slowly drop.

I heard some old gentlemen say that this is a good thing. It proves that the people of Tang Dynasty are rich. More, it will slowly calm down. "

Yun Chu smiled and said, "Haven't you ever doubted what the old man said? Haven't you wondered where the extra money comes from?"

Di Renjie said disapprovingly: "Money, of course, was cast by the imperial court, where else could it have come from?"

Yun Chu nodded, and did not continue. Since even an elite like Di Renjie hadn't discovered the mystery, he naturally didn't need to explain the matter so clearly. This may not be a good thing for Di Renjie.

Many times, confused people can actually be happier.

In the afternoon, Yunchu received a greeting card from Pei Xingjian at home.

To be precise, what I received was a blank piece of paper with words written on it, and Yunchu's current official position was not worthy of a formal greeting card.

When a fifth-rank official came, the Yun family naturally needed loess to pave the way, and clean water to sprinkle the courtyard was in line with his official position.

Therefore, at the time stated on Pei Xingjian's paper, Yun Chu was already standing in front of the door waiting.

Since the bastard Di Renjie had already mentioned the name of Yunchu, with Pei Xingjian's ability, there was no reason why he couldn't find out.

It took so long for the time to come, and it seemed that he was not sure if he had been deceived.

As Yun Chu guessed, not only Pei Xingjian came, but also Aunt Gongsun, and the two rode here together, looking really like a couple of gods and immortals.

Thinking about it, this lady Gongsun's sword dance is famous in Chang'an, and Pei Xingjian's one-handed wild grass and one-handed swordsmanship are considered by the ruling and opposition parties to be another rising general in Datang after Li Jing, the god of war.

The first time Aunt Gongsun saw Yunchu, she shook her head slightly at Pei Xingjian, because at this moment, Yunchu, who once again took out the outfit that taught Liang Jianfang to read, was the same as the two obscene and vicious people who appeared that night. The little thief is so different, even Aunt Gongsun fell in love with Yunchu when she saw Yunchu.

"The last time I left at the gate of the imperial city, I was planning to find an opportunity to pay a visit. I was just ashamed of my low official position, and I couldn't be in the elegant hall. Please don't blame me."

There is a world of difference between Yunchu, who is as gentle as jade, and Yunchu who kills embryos. Even Pei Xingjian, who has seen Yunchu in official uniform, dispelled his doubts immediately. Use the name to fool Gongsun.

"This one is the one I told you about, Yunchu, the mighty general who came out of thousands of troops in Kucha."

After Pei Xingjian jumped off his horse, he took Yunchu's hand affectionately and introduced him to Gongsun.

Gongsun Yingying, who was wearing a turban on her head, saluted, "My concubine, Gongsun, has seen Doctor Yun."

Yun Chu looked the two of them up and down, and said with admiration: "I didn't know what the scenery and the moon were like before, but I met you two today, and I finally understand the meaning, please come into the humble house.

The Yun family has nothing else, but there is a kind of wine that non-martyrs can't drink, and there are a few dishes that non-visitors can't taste, the two of you must try. "
