"Huh? Ziyu, when did you arrive in Chang'an? ”

Zhang Cambodia was surprised when he heard this, and then he recognized his student Dong Yan. Ziyu is Dong Yan's cousin.

The teacher and student have not seen each other for more than a year, and now they are reunited in Chang'an, thousands of miles away, and they have a pleasantry.

After greetings, the mule cart was unloaded, and Zhang Cambodia invited Dong Yan into the mansion.

Following Zhang Khan all the way in, Dong Yan didn't see a subordinate maid, but saw that the courtyard was overgrown with weeds, and the bluestone was covered with moss, which seemed to be barren for a long time.

Passing by the flower hall, the tables and chairs inside are piled up, the red paint on the beams and pillars has long been peeling, dust everywhere, cobwebs, it is estimated that there have been no visitors here for a long time.

Dong Yan didn't say anything, he shouted in his heart, where is the place where people live, it is simply a ghost house that has been abandoned for a long time!

The mansion of the dignified eight-grade superintendent of the imperial history is actually like this!

Looking at the stiff back of Zhang Cambodia who was walking in front, Dong Yan sighed heavily in his heart, it seems that his teacher's life in Chang'an is not easy!

Finally, Zhang Cambodia entered a side room, which was simply furnished, except for a bed that could be used for people to sleep on, there was nothing but books piled up in a mess......

Seeing Dong Yan stunned and stunned in place, Zhang Cambodia smiled bitterly and greeted: "Ziyu, the cold house is simple and messy, you can find a place to sit by yourself." ”

When Dong Yan heard this, he smiled bitterly in his heart, teacher, where are you shabby, it's miserable!

He looked around, then sat on the edge of the bed, and said a little puzzled: "Teacher, you have been promoted to serve in Chang'an Yushitai for some time, why are you still living like this... It's ...... like this."

As he spoke, Dong Yan couldn't bear to ask.

How could Zhang Cambodia not understand? He pointed to the courtyard outside the window, then pointed to the furnishings in the house, and finally pulled the coarse linen clothes wrapped around his body, and laughed at himself: "Ziyu wants to say why is it so shabby, right?" ”

Dong Yan sighed and nodded silently.

"Alas......" Zhang Cambodia sighed and sighed, "Ziyu, you don't know anything, Chang'an is not as expensive as Qingyuan, not to mention that rice is expensive and cheap, but everything needs to be spent on money." It costs money to socialize with colleagues, and it costs money to visit officials, even if poetry friends go to the meeting on weekdays, if you don't put on a decent outfit, you are embarrassed to go out! The old man's little supervising imperial history, how much money is only a few dollars a month? It's difficult, it's difficult, it's not a secret, it's this dilapidated mansion, the old man rented it from the tooth merchants, otherwise, I'm afraid there is no place to shelter from the wind and rain today! ”

After that, Zhang Cambodia shook his head again and again, the old man was really sad and tearful!

Dong Yan's face was stunned when he heard this, and he muttered to himself: "It turns out that being an official in Chang'an is so miserable, this is too, too ......."

"Haha, Ziyu don't underestimate your mentor and me, I don't want to be happy in my life, and I am not greedy for luxury. I have been a county magistrate in Qingyuan County for decades, have you ever taken half a big dollar from the county gentry? Have you ever received half a point of filial piety from your subordinates? ”

The little old man Zhang Cambodia swept away the musty smell on his face before, suddenly straightened up his waist pole, and said with a proud smile: "If I came to Chang'an to be an official for less than a year, and the servants in the house gathered, maids and beautiful women, high beds and soft pillows, brocade clothes and jade food, is that still the mentor Zhang Cambodia in your Dong Ziyu's eyes?" ”

Dong Yan was stunned for a moment, but suddenly understood the meaning of Zhang Cambodia's words, nodded again and again and smiled: "What the teacher said is very true, the teacher has always been clean and honest, and he is the most admired person in the student's life. ”

"That's right!" Zhang Cambodia gently stroked the handful of goat's whiskers and said with a smile, "How can the old man be Suo Yuanli, Lai Junchen and the like?" This official, especially serving in the Imperial History Tower, can only sleep more soundly if he lives simply and eats simply, and the head on his neck can last longer, right? ”

Hearing Zhang Cambodia mention Suo Yuanli, Dong Yan suddenly remembered that he was almost knocked over by the other party's carriage in Fangkou just now, and then asked: "Teacher, could it be that Suo Yuanli, a cool official, also lives in Shengpingfang?" Just now at Fangkou, the student ......"

Immediately, Dong Yan told Zhang Cambodia about what he had just happened at Shengping Fangkou.

When Zhang Cambodia heard this, he frowned violently and reprimanded: "What a flying and domineering dolphin!" ”

The dolphin is the meaning of the pig, Suo Yuanli is a Hu person, Zhang Cambodia scolded him for a dolphin, which is also interesting.

After scolding, Zhang Cambodia said: "Where will this bearded dolphin live in a small square like Shengpingfang?" Hmph, he is now in the middle of the court at the time of gaining power, his mansion is next to the Chengtianmen. Speaking of which, Ziyu was still affected by the old man in a false alarm in Fangkou today. Because this guy came out of my house at that time. This time I came to Shengpingfang, I came to the old man! ”

"Huh?" Dong Yan asked, "How can a teacher associate with such a person?" ”

Zhang Khan Zhizhi: "It's nothing more than that the old man participated in him in the Yushitai a few days ago, impeached him for abusing lynching, and persecuting Zhongliang." Somehow, this piece of music flowed into his hands, no, come to my house today to coerce and lure! Okay, okay, let's not talk about this kind of bearded dolphin that swept you and me to chat with Yaxing. By the way, Ziyu, why did you suddenly come to Chang'an, and you have to say hello in advance! ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Cambodia suddenly remembered that Dong Yan also brought a mule cart of wine jars to be placed in the courtyard, which should be a local specialty for his family, and said with a little blame: "You are a person, come here, you are not far away from Qingyuan to pull a cart of wine, not to mention the cumbersome, is it possible that Chang'an can't buy good wine?" When did you and I become so separated? ”

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Dong Yan coughed violently when he heard this, his face was a little embarrassed, and said, "Well... Teacher, this is not for you, yes, it is the student who was entrusted by Cui Erlang, the owner of the local brewery, to come to Chang'an......"

Soon, Dong Yan told the purpose of this trip to Chang'an.

The more Zhang Cambodia listened, the fresher he became, his eyebrows trembled slightly, and finally asked: "According to what you say, this Mulan Spring Wine is really a peerless wine?" ”

"Of course!"

Speaking of this, Dong Yan was still very confident, and said: "As soon as this wine came out, it swept the entire Qingyuan County, and it was sold in less than two days. If the teacher doesn't believe it, the student will go to the courtyard to get it now, and you will know that the student is telling the truth when you taste it! ”

was about to get up, but was stopped by Zhang Cambodia waving his hand and said: "Don't worry, don't worry, this is not in a hurry, if it is really a cup of peerless wine that is hard to find, the old man will bring this Mulan spring wine to visit Di Xiangye tomorrow." You don't know, Di Xiangye is a real lover of wine. If this wine can really enter his eyes, I tell you, the matter of imperial wine has become eight or nine times out of ten! But now, the old man is more interested in the Cui Erlang of the Qingyuan Cui clan in your mouth! ”

As he spoke, Zhang Cambodia habitually stroked the handful of goat's whiskers again, and his eyes were a little more profound, and said: "The young son can not only make such a peerless wine, not to mention, but also know how to make a false and real, and then move, from the singing and ballads in the city you just said, to the on-the-spot change of the drunken immortal building wine tasting conference, it is all from the hands of this son." It seems that this son is not simple, he is a businessman with a city government and a strategy! And, hehe......"

He paused, looked at Dong Yan's face, and said with a smile: "And this son can actually drive my proud protégé Dong Ziyu, a dignified county prince, to come to Chang'an thousands of miles to mediate the imperial wine matter, tsk, I am more and more interested in this young man." Hurry up, Ziyu, tell me more about this Qingyuan Cui Erlang......"

Dong Yan sighed, and pulled his thoughts back to Qingyuan County again, back to the late night when Cui Geng suddenly came to visit him......

……

……

"Ahh

"Ahh

Cui Geng, who was far away in Qingyuan County, sneezed three times in a row while patrolling his newly built winery.

It is said that this sneeze is a thought, scolding and babbling, Cui Geng scratched his nose and muttered to Mao Bo beside him: "In broad daylight, I don't know who is talking about me behind my back." Could it be that Song Wen's old puppet is still not giving up, and he is still thinking about how to toss me? ”

"Erlang is worried!"

Mao Bo glanced at the newly built winery, looked at the busy people in the winery, and said with relief: "Now that our Cui's winery has reopened, Mulan spring wine is selling well in the city, and no one is making trouble and obstructing it, obviously Song Wen has already recognized it." Do you see which wine shop in the city doesn't sell our Mulan Spring Wine? I heard that Hu County Ling is drinking our Mulan Spring Wine, no matter how Song Wen behaves, he can still be bigger than Hu County Ling? ”

"That's it, Cui Mao, the old gang, is on the point this time!"

Coming from the opposite side, Erniang was smiling with a spring breeze on her face, and now she seems to have a second spring, not to mention her clothes are red and purple, and her head is full of golden hairpins and silver hairpins, which is too coquettish.

Erniang walked over, and a strong smell of rouge powder directly hit Cui Geng's nose, almost choking.

I only heard Erniang pick up her crooked eyebrows, and said happily: "Song Wen, the old coffin, estimated that the general trend was unstoppable, and the flag died down." Hehe, besides, doesn't our family still have Dong Xiancheng behind to support us? Erlang, you said that this Dong County Cheng should be in Chang'an, right? ”

Looking at his high-profile cheap second mother, Cui Geng shook his head helplessly, and sighed, nature, no matter how big the ups and downs are, it is difficult to change!

The more Erniang spoke, the more energetic she became, and continued: "Hmph, in case our Mulan Spring Wine is really selected as the imperial wine, tsk, then our Cui family is really going to be beautiful." Hey, who else in the entire Qingyuan County will dare to offend us at that time? When the time comes, the old lady will run to Megie's prodigal hooves, tear up her stinky mouth, and strip her ......"

"Ahem, Erniang, it's over, the more you talk about it, the more you lose it!"

Cui Geng really couldn't stand this cheap second mother, so he hurriedly stopped: "Low-key, the more this time, the more low-key our family becomes!" ”

At this time, the little guy Chu Jiu ran from the fart, holding a big red invitation in his hand, walked quickly to Cui Geng, and said breathlessly: "Gong... Childe, this is the Cao family sent someone to send... Sent! ”

Cui Geng sighed, took the post and opened it, frowned slightly, and muttered with some surprise: "Tomorrow at noon, ask me to go to the banquet in the Drunken Immortal Building?" ”

Erniang pursed her lips slightly, and said with disdain: "Your cheap father-in-law has never planned to admit that marriage since your father passed away, and our family has lost power." Hehe, now that our winery is reopened, and the business is booming, do you want to eat back grass? This Cao Tianjiao, according to the old lady, is not a good bird! Erlang, listen to Erniang's advice, there is no good banquet in this banquet, and if you can't bear it, you can't bear it, what idea is it to beat our winery! ”

"Uh... It's not that Cao Tianjiao wants to invite me..."

Cui Geng handed the open invitation to Erniang and said, "It's Cao Yuechan......"
