Chapter 7 Release the Pigeons

The banquet for the prime minister was a big event, and the entire Nanshan Dou family courtyard did not stop overnight. The maids and servants were commanded to turn around, and the front yard was even more busy cleaning overnight. Even the latrine was specially found to be cleaned by someone, and everyone was busy all night. By dawn, the Dou family had become a mess with bright windows.

The guard of honor in front of the door is the focus of the object, and the bright brush of a water can be used as a mirror, and it is estimated that even if a fly falls on it, it will have to be split.

The housekeeper Lao Dou Fu had eyes like a national treasure, and he was open inside and out.

"Dou Fu, don't be busy here. Hurry up and go to the archway outside Zhuangzi to greet Wu Anhou, don't lose the etiquette of our Dou family. "Dou Ying was also so noisy last night that he didn't sleep well all night, and the chicken just got up after the second crow. hurriedly rinsed his mouth with fine salt, and then instructed the old housekeeper Dou Fu.

Dou Fu looked at the sky that had just revealed the whiteness of the fish's belly, and the fiery red sun was still hovering below the horizon. What happened to the master of the family? Even if you go to a banquet, you definitely won't come here. Which meal are you pleasing for, breakfast?

"Sir, it's still early. At this time, I'm afraid it's a little early! Dou Fu said embarrassedly, he was busy all night and didn't hit his teeth. I'm hungry right now, so I'm okay to walk around with a bite.

"Uh...... All right! You hurry up and have breakfast, and when the sun comes out, you go. Dou Ying smiled to herself, why is she so out of shape today. Think about it just ten years ago, in this courtyard. Tian Wei was still very respectful to himself, but he didn't expect that the current tense would change. Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, where can I use thirty years in this world. Ten years has been a sea of vicissitudes, and things are not people. Dou Ying wandered around his home, feeling as if he didn't know his home. The servants were busy everywhere, like chickens being chased by weasels.

"Bushman, why did you come so early? Didn't have breakfast. Let's have breakfast together. "Since the rise of the Ta Yun family and three meals a day, all the nobles have begun to follow suit. Breakfast has become an extremely important meal of the day, and the natural Yunjia-style rice porridge steamed buns and small pickles have become popular dishes.

The servants brought in a low table with a bowl of porridge, a plate of steamed buns, and a few small plates of pickles on it. There are many kinds of pickles, and at first glance it is the pickles of the Yunjia Liubiju in Chang'an City. There are also two fritters next to it, and Chang'an people are not used to drinking soy milk. I can't get used to the smell of milk. A bowl of fragrant rice porridge is good, but the price of this rice is expensive. One pound of rice is worth ten pounds of wheat, and the non-rich families in Chang'an City can't afford to eat it.

The rice porridge is boiled thickly, and the chopsticks do not fall. If Yun Xiao is here, he will definitely scold the people who cook porridge, whose rice porridge for breakfast is like dry rice, and then there are steamed bun fritters, which will not choke the two old men.

The dough man ate so much that the two fritters were like noodles in his mouth. Throw it in your mouth, suck it twice and disappear without a trace. A bowl of rice-like gruel. Pick it up and pour it into your mouth.

Exhaled a heavy breath of heat, "Master Hou, what kind of ability does Yun Hou have." Take this rice as an example, what we grow is not as delicious as others. Another bowl. ”

The conditions of the husband's house are far from being as good as Dou Ying's family, and this rice is not enough to eat every day. Anyway, today is to eat white food, and if you don't eat white food, you won't eat it. Just open your belly and eat a heart, whoever loves jokes will laugh at them. Anyway, the rice Lao Tzu ate it in his stomach, and no one ate it even if he spit it out.

"No one is robbing you. There is still some rice at home. I will give you a hundred pounds when I leave at night, and the family is in such a difficult situation? Eat in one bite. Look at you like that. ”

"Master Hou, you don't know how expensive this rice is. Yunhou was transported from Jimo and only sold in Luoyang and Chang'an. One pound of rice catches up with the price of ten pounds of wheat, which is really unaffordable. A thousand catties of wheat, that can be beaten out of a few acres of land.

Beads of sweat fell to the ground and fell into eight petals, and the grain planted was changed for the chewing of this meal in the morning. I still eat some steamed buns. The rice in Jiangnan can be made if it is unpalatable. This Yunhou's means of making money is really fucking unpredictable. Why didn't I give birth to a girl like a flower, if I married him, I would waste so much energy to eat rice a day. ”

Dou Ying almost didn't squirt out of a mouthful of rice, and looked at the bushman at the mouth of the lion's nose. The beautiful girl estimates that this product can't be born yet, and the Yaksha girl is about the same.

"That's a natural money waterlog. It's crazy to earn money. He's scraping the big man's oil, and you people still prefer to eat his stuff. ”

"Master Hou, what you said is wrong. The people of Yunhou are not ambiguous in fighting, fighting from the south to the north. That's a real thing. When you were in Luoyang, you also saw the heads brought back by General Luan. Wu Jun, who is at the top of each other, does not mix a little fake. ”

"This kid is a good hand at fighting, not to mention just fighting in Lingwu. It is enough to establish his position today, and I heard that this southern expedition is so smooth because of him. After all, Wei Qing was also from the Yun family, and he broke his bones and tendons. When it's time to help, he won't do this yet. ”

"I've heard a few things about the south. It is said that the king of Dongou was crazy and actually attacked a fleet of the Yun family. Killed more than 400 people, big and small, Yun Hou is a person who can swallow his breath? The soldiers were ordered to kill the Dongou country, and the poor king of Dongou was defeated one after another. Finally got into the jungle, and heard that he died inside.

It's good to attack Minyue Kingdom well, and it's okay to provoke the Yun family, the killing god, to do anything. By the way, Master Hou, I also heard that Yun Hou's body is not very good, and he seems to be suffering from some serious disease. I stayed in the carriage all day and didn't come out, and I heard that he always took medicine. The bushman stomped left and right, and said mysteriously.

"Eating can't stop your big mouth, he's a sick man. Less sick when you were in Chang'an? I heard that he was especially afraid of cold in winter and fell ill when he was in Lingwu. I even had to warm myself up with a woman! ”

Unexpectedly, Dou Ying was also a gossip lover, and the two chatted while eating in the hall. A good breakfast, and the tension that had been condensed last night seemed to ease somewhat.

Dou Fu followed Dou Ying's instructions, hurriedly ate breakfast and went to the archway to wait. The fiery red sun finally rose to the branches, and the birds in the trees began to chirp. There were also business trips on the road, and the farmers who ploughed in the spring were also cautiously passing under the archway.

They don't understand what an important guest is coming today. actually asked the chief manager of the Dou family to wait in front of the archway in person early in the morning.

Look at the empty official road, and then look at the old butler with a solemn face. The peasants had to take a detour, and if they accidentally collided with the nobleman's car, they would not be able to eat and walk around.

The caravans hurried by, and the peasants trembled. Dou Fu watched as the sun rose little by little, and then gradually became brighter. The temperature of the earth gradually increased, and Dou Fu looked blankly at the busy official road. I didn't even see the shadow of the Prime Minister.

"Old steward, when will this prime minister come?" The servant next to him specially changed into new clothes today, and he was not as big as the old steward Dou Fu's shelf. There was also a chair to sit on, a busy night plus standing all morning. His legs were already sore, and he wanted to squat for a while and was immediately reprimanded by the old butler. The gown is new, if it is soiled. Big ear scrapers pump you.

The young servant braced his legs in his hands and looked at the road expectantly. I really hope that the Prime Minister's car will come soon, so that he will not suffer this crime.

But I waited until noon, and I didn't see the shadow of the prime minister. Not to mention the Prime Minister, even a single person in the Prime Minister's Mansion has not seen it.

"Are you sure Wu Anhou agreed?" Dou Ying looked at the bright sun in the sky and said with some concern. Today, such a big battle was put on, and the guests at home were also invited out. If Tian Wei doesn't come today, this person will be a big loss.

"The Prime Minister personally agreed, how dare I come out and play with such a thing?" The bushman was also a little anxious. Xindao: Could it be that the Prime Minister heard it wrong, and he wants to come to the dinner. Or is it summoned by His Majesty today, and something is discussed, and the time has been missed?

The two of them were thinking wildly, but there was still no shadow of Tian Wei's car. Watching Dou Ying pacing faster and faster, the bushman was a little breathless.

"Master Hou is calm and don't be impatient, wait for the bushman to go to Chang'an to take a look. If His Majesty summons the Prime Minister to discuss state affairs, we should also be considerate. After all, national affairs are important! The bushman said this in a high-sounding manner, but in fact he already felt that something was not good. blame yourself for being too reckless, the Wang family and the Dou family are a new upstart and an old noble. There are many contradictions in itself, why did this Prime Minister Tian Wei suddenly come to the Dou family's banquet. The bushman had a feeling of being used like a gun, and he felt a little sorry for his friend. If Tian Wei doesn't come today, Dou Ying will be a big loser.

At most, by tomorrow, this matter will spread throughout Chang'an. Wei Qihou's face was trampled under Tian Wei's feet. When I arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion today, I had to invite Tian Wei no matter what.

The bushman put down his heart, rode a fast horse, beat the horse, and flew to Chang'an.

"Master Hou, you see it's noon. The masters are already hungry, are they ......?" the steward cautiously reported to Dou Ying. The masters in the hall were so hungry that they were gurgling, and some of them couldn't sit still. When people are hungry, they tend to panic, and now these masters are constantly talking to each other, and the expressions on their faces are uncertain.

"Let's have a poop first, and let the masters cushion their stomachs." Dou Ying said helplessly. It seems that he is really on the Tao today, and a good Tian Wei actually used such a trick to belittle the prestige of the Dou family. Today's events spread, and the name of the Dou family has been swept away from then on.

"Master Hou, if the prime minister comes. It's not easy to clean up the casual banquet, so it's better to serve some refreshments. First, you can cushion your stomach. Second, when the prime minister comes, he can also quickly remove the dishes from the table. ”

"Okay, that's it. You're pretty clever, a dog. (To be continued......)
