A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

"How do children make money?" It was still the fat man who spoke with a rebellious expression on his face.

Gu Qing fanned himself vigorously, "I can let you earn money right now, the parents in your family grow up, and their children can earn money!"

After a lot of obsession with the sun, Gu Qing finally lured these children to help him pick tea leaves with the temptation of one penny per person.

"We did the work for you, so why don't you refuse the money?"

Why did this little fat man talk so much? Gu Qing was still smiling when he thought about it, "With so many of you looking at me, can I still run away? It's still the old rule, one penny per person."

The little fat man waved his fist, "If you dare to run..."

"Let your father beat me up?" Gu Qing said as he walked.

A strange scene appeared three miles outside Tongguan. An eleven or twelve-year-old boy was carrying a big bamboo basket and leading a group of seven or eight-year-old children across the field to the hill.

There are tea trees on the mountain in twos and threes, not too many but not too few.

Putting down the big bamboo basket, Gu Qing pointed to the tea tree and said, "Listen, it's the leaves of this kind of tree, don't pick the wrong one!"

"Why don't you just pick the leaves?" The little fat man said, and he was about to pick the leaves, and the children started to move in twos and threes.

Gu Qing yelled, "Don't be lazy, whoever is lazy will not be paid."

Hearing this, the children's enthusiasm for work is even higher. Would it be too embarrassing to use children?It was useless under several condemnations of conscience, Gu Qing lay on the rock to enjoy the spring breeze, let the children experience the experience of life, and let them know the bitterness of their parents earning money, eh!It was much more comfortable to think so, and there was also an inexplicable sense of accomplishment.

The peasants working in the fields looked more and more surprised at this scenery.

A group of children were tossing and covered in grass and mud, and the bamboo baskets in front of them were also full.

"Pay wages!" The little fat man wiped his sweat, not knowing that there was mud on his hands and his face was covered with mud.

Taking out the money bag, Gu Qing yelled: "Everyone line up in line, come and get the money one by one."

"One article for you."

"One article for you."

"You are worthless, too."

……

"You're a penny again, hey..." Gu Qing hurriedly withdrew his hands, the little fat man looked familiar, and looked up to see the little fat man, "Didn't you just get paid? Little baby, don't be greedy, go home quickly."

The children finally left in a rush after receiving the money, Gu Qing looked at the tea leaves all over the place with bright eyes, "It's all money, it shouldn't be a good place in the Great Tang Tongguan, Chang'an is the imperial capital, and there are many rich people in Chang'an. "

Carrying the bamboo basket on his back, Gu Qing saw that cool guy again, the other guy still looked cool, he was throwing a fishing line and getting ready to fish. .

Gu Qing took a closer look at his hook and said, "How can this kind of hook catch fish?"

He grinned, and still threw the fishing line into the river with Jiang Taigong's fishing posture. Looking at the horizontal knife, Gu Qing became interested, "You used to be a soldier, right?"

Yang Sheng nodded.

"Do you know kung fu?" Gu Qing continued to ask.

"..."

"Could you be a killer?" Gu Qing then asked, "Who are you going to kill recently?"

Yang Sheng took a deep breath and ignored the guy beside him.

Cuckoo... Gu Qing was talking, and Yang Sheng's stomach growled. Gu Qing thought it's no wonder he was fishing, so he couldn't eat anymore. Seeing that his clothes were patched and living well, he took out a dry steamed bun from his bosom, Passed it to him and said, "I'll eat it for you."

With the cracked steamed buns in front of his eyes, Yang Sheng still had a cool expression on his face, "Why should I eat your food?"

"Forget it if you don't eat it." Gu Qing took back the steamed bun, took a hard bite in front of him, chewing hard.

Yang Sheng: "..."

"I'm just kidding you." Gu Qing took out another steamed bun and threw it to him, "I'm in a good mood today, so I'll share one with you."

Yang Sheng hesitated for a few breaths, and finally took the steamed buns and ate them hungrily.

"Life is hard." Gu Qing said while sitting beside him.

After eating the steamed buns, Yang Sheng let out a sigh of relief, "I went to war when I was six years old, and when I came back after fighting for more than ten years, I only had the strength of my whole body and this knife."

The surface of the river is very calm, Gu Qing: "What is it like to be a soldier in a war?"

"Human life is not life." Yang Sheng looked at the motionless fishing line, "It's terrible, many people died, and many people died under the city and became human ladders, so that the people behind can attack the city wall. Tang was paved with the flesh and blood of soldiers..."

He said quietly, "One time it was snowing heavily, and we were intercepting the Sui Emperor's reinforcements. We squatted in the snow for more than ten days, and my brother and I leaned together..."

"While we were chatting, he said he was going to sleep for a while." Yang Sheng said with red eyes: "When I wanted to wake him up, I found that he couldn't wake up. He was frozen to death. At that time He smiled and told me that his wife was pregnant before he joined the army, and her wife waited for him to come home to name the child..."

"After the war ended, I went back to find her daughter-in-law. When I saw her happy face holding the child, it was time for her husband to go home after the war. I didn't dare to say that her husband was dead. I told her that her husband I'll be back a few days later, and I'll leave all the money I got from the army to her, do you know that feeling?"

"I know..." Gu Qing said and stood up, "It's getting late and I should go back."

After walking a few steps, looking back at Yang Sheng's desolate back, he felt a little sympathetic to him, and went all the way back to the ruined temple. Gu Qing found a broken iron pot that could still be used, then set up the pot and lit a fire, and started frying tea leaves. Afterwards, I feel bad without a cup of tea.

"A man with a horse, mighty..." Gu Qing sang and stir-fried vigorously.

Sun Simiao looked at the apprentice who was frying this unknown leaf with surprise on his face, and he kept frying it more and more vigorously. He couldn't help taking a breath, and while pulling his beard, he whispered: "How can this insanity be cured..."

After frying the tea leaves, Gu Qing quickly brewed a cup and handed it to Sun Simiao, "Master, please drink tea."

"Why don't you drink it yourself?" Sun Simiao looked at the tea with disgust.

"Hehe..." Gu Qing said with a smile: "I don't know what kind of stuff I fry, what if I drink to death."

Sun Simiao's face gradually turned red...

"Don't drink it." Gu Qing picked up the teacup and poured it into his mouth, reminiscing... Memory tea should not taste so bitter, the craftsmanship is really bad, but in general it still tastes like tea, it really refreshes the mind Or tea.

Chapter 10 Lu Yuping Porcelain

At the end of Chang'an City, where singing and dancing is peaceful, is the majestic imperial palace. Li Shimin woke up from a nightmare, and Empress Changsun, who was helping to fan the wind, quietly brought a bowl of soup, "Your Majesty, have a drink."

"What time is it?" Li Shimin's voice was hoarse.

The afternoon sun shone outside the palace, and Empress Changsun knew that what happened back then was a taboo in her husband's heart, and that nightmare would appear from time to time, and she didn't know when it would be, so she whispered, "Wei Shi."

Li Shimin sat up straight and watched the memorial and fell asleep unknowingly. He took a sip of soup to make his throat feel better, and continued to look at the memorial in front of him.

Empress Changsun put a memorial in front of him, "Your Majesty, I saw this just now."

"Yeah!" Li Shimin nodded and continued to watch.
