Zhenguan Chang'an Xiaofangzheng

Chapter 100 Yan Xuansui

(It was too cold last night, I couldn't help it, so I had to sleep, and the writing of the plan code was also delayed.)
"Lang Jun, why did Sister Yan Wan invite you to a banquet?"

Holding the invitation card sent by Wu Neng, Du Shengxia restrained her smile, and there was a hint of worry in her starry eyes.

Born in a low-level official family, Du Shengxia naturally felt that something was wrong.

Last time Princess Wei extended the invitation to match the two, and Li Tai also accompanied them.

This time, Princess Wei should not invite Fan Zheng again, even if she invites Du Shengxia, it will be fine for her to bring her husband.

Fan Zheng smiled lightly: "Soldiers come to block you, water comes to cover you, what are you worried about? Your husband won't begrudge you who can show face, but you won't back down when it comes to principles."

Du Shengxia bit her lips subconsciously, and said softly but firmly: "I want to go together."

The word Langjun also has a wide meaning in the Tang Dynasty. It is what a wife calls her husband, what her father-in-law and mother-in-law call her son-in-law, what a lowly person calls a young and wealthy son, and what an elder calls a young man.

A smile appeared in Fan Zheng's eyes.

Originally, he wanted to take Du Shengxia there.

When he met alone, it was inevitable that there would be gossip, even if there must be many people around Yan Wan.

However, there is still a slight difference between Fan Zheng's proposal to take Du Shengxia and Du Shengxia's initiative to ask to go.

Same place, different people.

Beside Yan Wan is a young man with delicate features, who at first glance is [-]% similar to her.

"I've met my brother. Sir, this is Yan Xuansui, the elder brother of the concubine."

Yan Xuansui saluted with crossed hands: "It's Yan Da who disturbed Du's sister-in-law today."

Yan Xuansui was the eldest son of Yan Lide, who was then the head secretary of the Si Nong Temple, the seventh-rank superior.

He also has two brothers, the oldest is only 15 years old and has not yet come out to work.

As expected of the grandson of Princess Qingdu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, his etiquette is thoughtful and impeccable.

Fan Zheng hurriedly returned the gift, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Yan Lide, who was demoted as the governor of Bozhou, and Yan Xuansui, who was the director of Sinong Temple, had nothing to do with Fan Zheng, and Fan Zheng couldn't impeach them either.

So, what is the purpose of Yan Wan's invitation?
The antique soup is tumbling, the aroma gradually rises, and the ingredients are served one after another.

Beef, mutton, and pork are not uncommon, and tofu is also a matter of course. Winter melon, radish, etc. are also normal, but the brightly colored cabbage surprised Fan Zheng slightly.

It's getting cold, and some broad-leaved vegetables have already been withdrawn from the market. Where can I get fresh cabbage from Furong Garden?
Don't tell me that the Tang Dynasty also had off-season vegetables.

Yan Xuansui had excellent eyesight, and introduced with a smile: "This is my private use of public power, haha. The hot spring soup supervisor is under the jurisdiction of Sinong Temple. In the west of Xinfeng County, there is a hot spring palace. There is also the "Hot Spring Monument" by Yu Xin of the Northern Zhou Dynasty The place near the soup is naturally warm, and the fruits and vegetables should ripen earlier and wither later."

Having said so much, it turns out that this Lishan Hot Spring is most famous because Concubine Yang later took a bath.

It can only be said that beauties are still worth seeing, and literati like Yu Xin covered their faces and sighed.

It can't be compared at all!

Planting vegetables next to the hot spring, because of the geothermal heat, can keep warm, and the effect can barely support the vegetable greenhouses of later generations.

Note that this is not bragging, it is clearly recorded in "Tang Liudian".

The output is not high. Except for the palace, it is probably only the officials of Sinong Temple, who can take advantage of the convenience of their positions.

The cooked meat was rolled up and turned white in the strainer, and Fan Zheng subconsciously scooped it into Du Shengxia's bowl.

Yan Wan smiled lightly: "Sure enough, I have discernment and know that the two of you are the best match."

Du Shengxia giggled: "It's a pity that I didn't have enough fate at the time, and I disappointed my sister."

Yan Wan picked up a piece of cooked meat, rolled it in the dipping water with mustard, pepper, and snowflake salt, opened her white teeth, and chewed gracefully.

Du Shengxia is not so elegant. The posture of eating and drinking is contrary to the "Women's Rules" written by Empress Changsun, but it seems straightforward and innocent.

Du Shengxia can't be the kind of lady who eats half a bowl of rice and counts the grains of rice with chopsticks.

Yan Xuansui has been talking about some interesting things, and by the way, talked about some institutional functions of Sinong Temple.

The Shanglin Administration manages gardens, gardens, and supplies fruits and vegetables to the imperial court. In addition to sacrifices, the imperial palace and various departments can share the benefits;
The Taicang Department manages the most official rations, and the Lumi of the Beijing officials will be distributed by it. At the same time, those who enjoy the public rations will receive two liters of rice, two spoons and five pinches of salt per day for men, half for wives and concubines, and half for the sons and daughters of the Imperial College. Acupuncture doctors, even if they are not mature, still enjoy adult treatment.

I just don't know if the medical students, massage therapists, and cursing students in the Imperial Medical Office will have any objections.

Look, poor pay is everywhere.

The Hook and Shield Administration is a little strange. Grass, charcoal, geese, ducks, chickens, pigs, aquatic plants, ponds, lakes and swamps, something strange has been mixed in.

Si Zhu supervises bamboo and bamboo shoots. There are large bamboo forests in Hu (hu) county and Zhou (Zhouzhi), which are rich in bamboo shoots.

When he was almost full of wine and food, Yan Xuansui asked the question: "I heard that Du's sister-in-law is looking for Yuwen's leather goods?"

Yan Wan's expression froze, somewhat helpless in her eyes.

This is the friendship of ancestors, Yu Wenkai and Yan Pi are both top architectural masters in the previous dynasty, so it is normal for them to cherish each other.

Therefore, it is inevitable for the younger generations to take care of each other.

Fan Zheng drank the last sip of soup, and put the bowl comfortably: "What did Brother Yan say, why?"

Yan Xuansui chuckled: "I don't know, but in general, the property of a big family will have a steward who is familiar with court officials sitting in charge. It's just not convenient for them to reveal your identity. I just don't know how the leather goods workshop got into the Du family's sister-in-law. Fascinating."

Yan Wan didn't say a word, but this is also an attitude in itself.

Fan Zheng pondered for a while, but still told the truth: "I don't want to check the leather goods, but I want to check how many horses they have used to cover up their brands with their craftsmanship, so that the public naturalization can be smoothly verified."

A hint of surprise flashed in Yan Xuansui's eyes: "Maybe it's a shallow exchange, but I still want to say that if you specify which company you want to target, the resistance will be much smaller. If you search the entire industry on a large scale, you may not be able to bear the result. "

Where does this kind of gray industry exist?
Those who can take root in it have unusual backgrounds.

Yan Wan spoke carefully: "Fan Zheng, brother's words are not pleasant, but they are the truth. At present, you don't have the ability to investigate the entire industry, and you can't bear the backlash."

There was deep worry in Du Shengxia's eyes: "What should I do? The gentleman's goal has not been achieved yet."

Fan Zheng wiped his mouth with a sweat towel, and a smile appeared in his eyes: "If the Yuwen family has good ears and eyes, they should know my purpose. It depends on whether they cooperate. Anyway, I only care about this year's affairs."

Yan Xuansui raised his thumb.

Understood, Fan Zheng went to Huaidefang just as a gesture, the purpose was to get Yuwen to hand over what he wanted.

If the Yuwen family must resist, Fan Zheng will not hesitate to use any means.

Go directly to the Taiji Hall for impeachment, and Yuwen will face a storm.

Don't think that Yuwen's family has no enemies.

　Thank you for the no funny day rewards, I wish you happiness, good health, a prosperous career, and a harmonious family!
