Chinese dining table

Chapter 98
Yunchu woke up very early in the morning. It was still dark at this time, and there were only a few faint barks of dogs in Jinchang Fang.

Yunchu looked around, but he didn't find Da Fei the lynx, most likely he went to Da Ci'en Temple to accompany Naha.

Er Fei brought warm clothes that were ironed with a charcoal bucket, which allowed him to smoothly transition directly from the warm blanket to warm clothes.

Mrs. Cui has already woken up, and is teaching the stupid Liu Fei and Qi Fei a lesson, scolding them for not knowing how to do any work, only knowing how to eat, and eating themselves so fat.

He also praised Bafei as a good person, and went to the Jinchangfang house repair site before dawn to get a lot of broken wood and came back to chop firewood, and decided to reward him with an egg.

Jiu Fei had already harnessed the carriage, and helped Cui to load a box of copper coins into the carriage. It seemed that this woman was going to go to Ye Ting Palace again today, intending to bring back some old maids that Li Zhi didn't want.

In fact, the Cui family wanted to use some eunuchs, but the imperial court did not allow it. There were very strict regulations on the use of eunuchs. pitiful.

When Yun Chu went out, he saw a layer of hoarfrost on the ground, and the sand between the brick joints was covered with hoarfrost due to the absorption of water, and it was covered with hoarfrost under the severe cold.

"What are you doing scolding them for nothing? After finally leaving the palace, I can live a brisk life for a few days..."

While rinsing his mouth, Yun Chu muttered a few words to Cui Shi. In his opinion, the servants in the family are all hardworking people. Apart from eating too much, there is nothing wrong with them.

"The concubine has withdrawn a hundred coins from the account, and wants to go to the Yeting Palace to try her luck, and bring back a few more maids that the royal family does not want, and come back to be cooks."

"I remember that all our family's money is in Xiangji Kitchen, where did you get the hundred coins, don't..."

"My lord, the money is not going to be used now. Our family will use it first, and we will return it when we need to pay for it. The money in the Xiangji Kitchen has such a high interest rate, and it will be a loss to take it out at this time."

"No, that money is from Jinchangfang, we can't use it casually, right?"

"The money is in our family's account, it's our family's money, what's the matter with using it first, those villagers have recently received a lot of benefits from your husband, new clothes, money and food, and they have cleaned up the house, and there will be more soon After the benefits come down, no one will complain.

Besides, didn't you buy the slaves to cook for the students who rented here?

It's all because of Jinchangfang that Mr. Lang is willing to use his servants to help them make money. This is beyond generous. "

Although Yunchu felt that Cui's words had room for discussion, thinking that he was very busy today, he said that he was not an example, and left home on a bay red horse.

The cold air in Jinchangfang in the early morning was so bitter that even the strong bay red horse dared not breathe heavily.

It was too cold, and Yun Chu didn't bother to grab the reins, and tucked his hands into his sleeves, still aching from the cold.

It seems that the production of gloves should be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

There are still people working on the construction site at the gate of the square, but there is a bonfire nearby. Peng Wulang and Zhang Ting have been working for a long time with seven or eight craftsmen.

Seeing how they were carving meticulously with chilblained hands, Yun Chu couldn't help but walk over and said, "People are not animals, and this is not the way to make money. Go back, it's too cold in the morning."

Zhang Ting put down the chisel and hammer in his hand, giggled and put his hands on the fire, and when they were hot, he rubbed them back and forth quickly.

"Mr. Lang is going to the Imperial College to study now?"

"Yeah, it's late, the doctor will hit the palm of your hand."

"Hey, aren't all the gentlemen in the Imperial College studying, why do they still have to beat the board?"

"I took five boards yesterday."

"Lang Jun didn't study hard?"

"No, I got impatient while queuing, so I threw the one in front of me out."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Advising these people to work less and rest more is obviously an act of ignorance, which will not gain gratitude, but only disgust.

Yun Chu had already made up his mind at this moment, if he didn't use them to death, he would be sorry for them.

When there was a faint white belly in the sky, Fangzheng Liu Yi opened the door of the workshop. He did not continue to discuss with Yunchu about recruiting some women to cook for the students. He probably thought it was impossible.

I had no choice but to bend over towards Yunchu and respectfully send the head of the village to the Imperial College to go to school.

At dawn, Chang'an Street Market is full of people shrunk their heads like tortoises from the cold.

In Chang'an, there are only two kinds of people who get up early, one is workers who stop talking, and the other is officials who need to get up early to go to court.

The roads of the two are very different. The workers are traveling in either the East Market or the West Market, while the officials are traveling in only one direction and that is the Imperial City.

The end of Suzaku Street is the imperial city, and because it faces south and faces north, the sun will illuminate the imperial city first when it comes from the east. Unfortunately, the roof of the Tang imperial city is also covered with blue tiles, and the sun shines on it. It will not reflect light, but it will make the imperial city look more lifeless. In addition, there is still a little cold fog in the morning. After the sun shines, the cold fog evaporates, like the bedroom of the Great Demon King.

However, Li Zhi could be called the Great Demon King, because when Yunchu passed the imperial city and turned the corner to go to the Imperial College, he saw the Lubu posted by the imperial court.

When General Liang Jianfang was returning to the imperial court, he ran into border residents of the Tang Dynasty who were in distress. They cried to the general that they were bullied by the Turkic people who surrendered and took away their wives and children.

The enraged general drew a random circle on the small map with his thumb as thick as a drumstick, and then the army under his command squeezed in the middle of the circle from all directions.

And then, the general rescued the 680 three members of the border people of the Tang Dynasty...

Yunchu remembered this incident. The court documents clearly stated that only 76 border residents were taken away by the Turkic descendants. It is not known where the extra 600 people came from. Anyway, there must be a reasonable one in General Liang Jianfang’s memorial. explained.

Yunchu didn't know the scale of the map that the general used his fingers to draw. According to his understanding of Tang Jun's map, General Liang's gestures, plus his excessively thick fingers, were within three hundred miles above the grassland. To the living.

The Imperial Court Lubu did not mention the fate of the Turkic people, but only mentioned the number of Tang people who were rescued. This is very sympathetic to the emperor. After all, it is not a good thing for an emperor to kill too many people.

Everyone understands and is willing to cover up for His Majesty the Emperor.

As for killing talents!
It can only be General Liang Jianfang, and it can only be General Liang Jianfang.

Therefore, General Liang Jianfang's punishment plan was also made public.

"Liang Jianfang, the general manager of the Gongyue Road marching, did not act well, causing more than half of the soldiers and horses in the three military states to be lost, and two cities were destroyed. The crime is unforgivable. However, the massacre of the Yue Department has contributed to the country. Write, Liang Jianfang, suspended for three years, A fine of five hundred catties of copper, and reading and thinking for half a year."

After seeing Lubu, Yunchu understood that in today's court, the army headed by Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin, and Yu Chigong is no match for the group headed by Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang.

Liang Jianfang made a mistake, so it’s not that he can’t accept punishment. The emperor can scold him in the Golden Palace, even if he is dragged to the palace toilet to slap his mouth.

It would be a great shame and humiliation for General Liang to post the punishment decree at the gate of the palace and let the traffickers watch and discuss casually.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is the imperial court killing chickens to frighten monkeys, and the unfortunate General Liang is that poor chicken.

As a person who had close contact with General Liang Jianfang, Yunchu felt very sorry for this cruel old guy. People like Changsun Wuji really didn't want to keep any sympathy for him.

He has such a bad temper... and he has suffered such a big grievance... and he still has to study... I really don't know how he will live the next six months.

Just after leading the bay red horse into the Guozijian, Yunchu was keenly aware that the air pressure in the Guozijian was very low.

It was so low that those students in the Imperial College who liked to hold a book in the diaphragm were unwilling to recite poems or recite articles. They all lowered their heads and walked in a hurry as if there was something unfinished that needed to be resolved.

Moreover, the older the supervisor, the more frightened he seemed.

The bay red horse was stored in a separate stable in the Imperial College, and the groom prepared good food to take care of it. He also repeatedly asked the bay red horse to drink warm water, and the groom agreed with good temper.

Of course, Yunchu paid ten yuan, which was three hundred yuan a month, which was much more expensive than the houses rented to the students in Jinchangfang.

It won’t work without getting a single room for it. This guy eats alone. Even if it is left over by other horses, he will kick and bite. He is also very domineering. He doesn’t allow other horses to approach him. Since After the rear end is badly injured, it always feels that other people or horses are eyeing its rear end,'

If a horse is kicked to death a day, no matter what kind of horse it is, it will be a heavy financial burden for Yunchu.

Entering the classroom, before putting down his backpack, Di Renjie approached with a smile and said, "You are famous."

Yun Chu nodded and said, "It should be. After all, it's not a big problem for articles like "Humble Room Inscription" to be passed down for thousands of years."

Di Renjie forcibly stopped his desire to vomit.

"Your family's food has been regarded as the best in Chang'an by the students."

Yun Chu then nodded and said: "This is also normal. If it doesn't taste good, I won't charge people the usual money for food. To be precise, the money I collect is all food money, and the house is a free gift."

Di Renjie sighed: "It's all good things in the first place, but the timing of becoming famous is not right, so good things may turn into bad things."

Yun Chu smiled and said: "Fortune is for misfortune, and misfortune is for blessing. I have explained this sentence very clearly. It's not a big deal."
