I have a backstage in Datang

"Yes, yes! The Liu family really made a lot of money this time. Who would have thought that the old man squatting on the ground selling pancakes was not an ordinary person. It is said that when Gu Tianya was young and poor, he once collapsed from hunger in the cold In the snow, it was the old man who took out pancakes for Gu Tianya to eat, and saved Gu Tianya's life with four pancakes."

"To this day, Gu Tianya is still grateful. Every time he saw the old man, he would respectfully call Uncle Liu. In order for Uncle Liu to earn a bite to eat and drink, he specially made a special food called baking powder. Baby, it’s amazing, it’s really a baby, because Liu Hongji’s wife was soft-hearted for a moment, that old uncle Liu was very moved, and the old man actually sent out the secret recipe of the baking powder, and allowed the Liu family to operate this industry ..."

"I made a lot of money, I made a lot of money. I got a secret recipe for only thirty cents. As long as there are people in this world, they have to eat to fill their stomachs. It is said that the baking powder can not only make pancakes, And you can also make a kind of food called Wowotou, Mantou, and flax cakes. In short, as long as it is related to pasta, this baking powder can be added... After the Liu family gets this secret recipe, you can talk about it How much profit can his family make?"

"The most important thing is that there are regulations in the Gu family village. Gu Tianya has made an agreement with each household in advance. As long as everyone gets something here, it is considered a chance. Whether it is buying some kind of utensil from the people, or To get a treasure from a certain villager, as long as the commoner who sells the item nods and agrees, then it is considered to have Gu Tianya's permission, even if it is a secret recipe that only cost a penny, but the secret recipe allows the person who bought it You can enjoy it, so after the Liu family got the secret recipe of baking powder, they can completely continue to operate."

"Yes, yes, but these things are said to be not Gu Tianya's intention, but Princess Pingyang's intentions. The princess is grateful for us coming to congratulate her, so she forced Gu Tianya to release some treasures as an opportunity. No matter who Going home is considered a reward for participating in Congratulations. So, everyone has a chance."

"It's really generous. As expected of Princess Pingyang, she not only looks good for us women, but also does things with a sense of style. Liu Hongji's wife is also lucky, and she got a secret recipe for thirty coins... The Liu family's return is well worth it. "

The women talked a lot, and their words were full of envy.

Just at this time, Liu Hongji's wife came in a hurry, and seeing the fast-moving posture, it was clear that she was rushing towards a certain place.

But many noble ladies couldn't let her take the lead, and suddenly they reached out to stop her, and said enviously and enviously: "Sister Liu, is this still not satisfied, are you going to go to the night market to get a chance to bang bang again? I heard that you picked it up last night." You made a big mistake, don't fight with us tonight."

Mrs. Liu Hongji's face was a little irritable, but she was stuck in the crowd and couldn't get out at all. She had no choice but to stomp her feet, and said anxiously and annoyed: "You only see me getting a little benefit, but you don't know what I'm getting. Compared with others, the advantage of it is too bad.”

The noble ladies of the Tang Dynasty are so shrewd, they immediately heard the profound meaning from these words, and hurriedly asked: "Could it be that there was someone who gained more than you last night?"

Mrs. Liu Hongji took a deep breath, and envy appeared on her face, and said: "Last night, Mrs. Fang took the child to the night market and saw a girl squatting on the ground selling a porcelain vase. Ordinary, but that girl's asking price is very high, and she is determined not to discuss anything below [-] guan."

"Yeah, I know about that..."

A lady in the crowd subconsciously said, "I met that girl too, and I even planned to buy her bottle, but she was determined not to give up the price, and her tone of voice was very domineering. Discuss the price with her. What I thought at the time was that the recipe for firing porcelain vases is not uncommon, even if she will give the secret recipe after selling the porcelain vase, but the secret recipe for porcelain vases is not worth fifty pennies at all."

"Ugh!"

Mrs. Liu Hongji smiled wryly, and said with some disappointment: "I think everyone has this idea. To be honest, I also went to the booth where the girl sold bottles last night. It was also because the price was too high and the secret recipe was not worth it. So, I didn't buy it."

The noble ladies are all human beings, and at this moment, they can faintly hear the abnormality.In particular, Mrs. Liu Hongji's disappointed tone made them feel that they had missed a great treasure.

Sure enough, Mrs. Liu Hongji gave another bitter smile, and continued: "The price of that girl's selling things is too high. Mrs. Fang's family was as hesitant as us, but the second boy in his family burst into tears and knelt on the ground. The ground is unwilling to leave. Madam Fang couldn't bear it, so she reluctantly agreed to the girl's asking price of [-] pennies... But who would have thought that the girl is actually Gu Tianya's own sister!"

"What she sold was not a porcelain bottle at all, but a little water wine in a porcelain bottle. Whoever bought that bottle of water wine could give it to Gu Tianya to drink. It's not fine wine at all, it's an apprenticeship that can be worshiped under Gu Tianya's sect."

All the ladies stood there dumbfounded.

Everyone seemed to be struck by lightning.

Why did they come all the way to Hebei?

What is the most important purpose of the man in the family bringing the eldest son to congratulate him?

It's all to make the children worship Gu Tianya as their teacher!

But this opportunity to apprentice was given up by them last night.Just because of the fifty pennies, and just because I felt that the girl's tone of voice was too harsh.

Who would have thought that it was Gu Tianya's own sister.

……

"Damn it, my mother will never let the man in the family go to bed tonight!"

After a long time, suddenly a noble lady gritted her teeth, everyone knew this noble lady, she was Duan Zhixuan's official wife.

Her face was angry and remorseful, her angry face was livid, and she said angrily: "When I went shopping in the night market last night, that bastard refused to go shopping with me. If he would go shopping with me, he would be able to recognize Gu Tianya's younger sister. Selling porcelain vases. Not long ago during the battle of Liang Guo, almost all the generals met Miss Gu, if my family followed last night, if my family followed last night..."

Due to the heavy loss and regret, she even talked a little bit.

So did many of the ladies present.

Mrs. Liu Hongji sighed, and said: "This is what happened, and I regret it. If I really want to say it, it is also the fate of the second boy of the Fang family. After all, that little guy once worshiped as a teacher. , although we are envious, but we are also envious. Alas, it is a pity that Gu Tianya has too few places for true disciples. Up to now, only six disciples have been accepted..."

Someone remembered what she said just now, and couldn't help but nodded and said: "Yes, yes, it's the fate of that little guy. Gu Tianya's younger sister is his senior aunt, and he would cry on his knees when he saw his senior aunt selling things. Maybe it was because of his crying that Miss Gu's heart softened, otherwise, that porcelain bottle might not be a gift for apprenticeship, and if we bought it, it might not be possible for our children to apprenticeship."

He paused for a while, and explained to himself, "It is likely that Ms. Gu forced Gu Tianya to modify the function of this item. That's why the wine in the porcelain bottle became the qualification to apprentice Shu Xiu."

"Yes, yes, it must be so!"

The ladies nodded again and again, only this kind of explanation can reduce the loss in their hearts.

Mrs. Liu Hongji took the opportunity and finally squeezed out from the crowd.

But just as she was about to rush forward again, she was stopped by the ladies again.

In desperation, the woman could only give up the idea of ​​secretly competing for the first place, and sighed: "Sisters, please let me go quickly. In order to entertain us, Gujia Village will hold various activities for seven consecutive days. Yesterday was a treasure hunt at the night market, but tonight it's a treasure hunt." It's an exhibition auction, so what's the use of stopping me, let the women of the royal family take the lead. They are sisters and sisters of Princess Pingyang, and they got the inside information early on."

She paused while talking, and then said in a hurry: "I just saw that Princess Gaomi was pulling Duan Guogong to run very fast. Those couples have always been useless. They are all brave. If it weren't for the attraction of big profits, how could Duan Guogong's lazy temperament be like this? Everyone in Chang'an knows that Duan Guogong would never stand up when he could lie down. He is so fat, but this time he ran like thunder. "

"what?"

The ladies turned pale with shock, and said in a flustered manner: "You even dispatched that fat man? Could it be that there is really a big leak tonight?"

Mrs. Liu Hongji finally squeezed out of the crowd, and immediately took lotus steps and galloped towards the distance. This time, no one stopped her, but all the ladies ran, and in a blink of an eye, there was a wave of murderous rush. To Gujia Village night market.

……

The setting sun gradually fell, and the mist at the foot of the mountain drifted into the village. At this time, the lights in the Gu family village gradually lit up.The village has been expanded several times, and now it has the appearance of a town. People from the four villages and eight villages came here one after another, each looking for a place to set up a stall to do some small business.

This is Gujiacun Night Market.

On the night market, Li Shimin was holding a pancake in his hand, occasionally took a bite, his mouth was full of oil, and beside him was a beautiful woman, who was the eldest grandson Wangfei who had been named the new crown prince, and the husband and wife stretched out their hands , holding a seven or eight-year-old doll, seems to be strolling leisurely, but looking closely, it is running in a clear direction.

At this moment, a group of noble ladies from the Tang Dynasty roared in. Seeing the eager and crowded posture, it was clear that they were also running in that clear direction. Princess Changsun was startled for a moment, then her pretty face showed worry, and she subconsciously said: "Today I'm afraid the fight tonight will be fierce."

He paused for a while, looked at the child with a pair of wonderful eyes, obviously more worried, hesitated for a moment and finally asked Li Shimin, asking: "Why don't you go and talk to your brother-in-law and let our Qingque go through the back door. Today With so many families participating in the evening, Qing Que may not be able to beat the eldest sons of those families."

Li Shimin pondered for a while, then shook his head slowly, and said solemnly: "It's better for us not to break the rules he set. Cheng Qian of our family walked through the back door, which has already given Tianda face. You must know that he still has more tonight." other big things to do,"

Chapter 192 [I sell treasures, but I don't charge money]

"The first bowl of loofah soup in autumn is elegant and fragrant. It symbolizes deep love and contains a little bit of sweetness. This soup implies sincerity and should be given to a beautiful woman. If you don't give it, you don't love...a bowl of soup, Fifty essays, the filming starts now, please raise your sign if you dare!"

In the courtyard of the post station in Gujia Village, the lights were bright and brilliant, but Tan Xiao, a young girl who looked like a beauty under the moon, was introducing the first lot leisurely and gracefully.

The words are very good.

It's heart-pounding.

Listen, the first bowl of loofah soup in autumn symbolizes deep sincerity and love.This thing must be given to a beautiful woman, otherwise there is no way to express love.

There were hundreds of people in the courtyard, and the atmosphere suddenly fell into an inexplicable strangeness.

Among the team that came to congratulate this time, each family brought their female relatives and legitimate sons. The female relatives are usually the main wives of the family, and the legitimate sons are usually the eldest sons of the family. Besides, there are also a large number of legitimate daughters.

This bowl of so-called loofah soup, a symbol of love, is used to harvest these flamboyant prostitutes.

Oh love!

Sincerely!

How exciting.

How could the young girl Cardamom Fanghua resist this kind of temptation? When the bowl of loofah soup was brought out, the daughters-in-law already had a fighting spirit that would not give in to each other.

However, the atmosphere in the compound was even more strange.

……

For example, Li Shimin, who was sitting not far from the exhibition table, was sitting there holding a pancake in a daze, with his mouth wide open, obviously extremely shocked.

After a long time, Li Shimin turned his head to look at Gu Tianya who was sitting on the side, and asked in a daze, "Loofah soup? Fifty Wen? Are you short of money and crazy? Or do you think our women in Tang Dynasty are fools? "

Gu Tianya smiled leisurely, and didn't care about Li Shimin's anger. Instead, he said slowly, "This is the first bowl of loofah soup in autumn, which symbolizes deep love and sincerity. What's wrong with fifty coins? Five hundred coins can still be sold... ..."

Li Shimin continued to be dazed. After a while, he raised the pancake in his hand and said, "I just bought this pancake from the night market. It is made of pure wheat flour. It weighs at least half a catty. Take a bite. It is fragrant, solid, and full." , I only spent two pennies for such a big pancake, even with the appetite I have been serving in the army for many years, I can still eat two pancakes!"

He paused while talking, his tone became a little cold, and he said: "In addition to two pancakes, I also bought a bite of meat, two pancakes and meat together, do you know how much I spent in total?" ?”

Gu Tianya smiled slightly, and said lightly: "I know the prices at the night market, you can buy these foods at most for ten yuan."

"It's ten pennies!"

Li Shimin snorted coldly, his tone became even colder, and said: "The ten renminbi can buy two cakes, plus a mouthful of delicious meat, so although I paid the ten renminbi, I took it out willingly." I don't think it's too much, and I think it's worth the price. Two pancakes weigh more than a catty, and you have to use more than a catty of wheat flour when baking. Wheat is food, and it's the sweat of the common people that falls on the ground one by one. You got it in exchange for smashing it. The value lies in the price, but look at what you are selling? How dare you sell a bowl of loofah soup for fifty renminbi?"

Gu Tianya looked at him twice, and said slowly: "To be exact, it's old loofah soup."

Li Shimin was taken aback immediately.

Gu Tianya smiled and said again: "In order to show the profound taste of this bowl of soup, I specially asked Tan Xiao to pick an old loofah. Second brother, do you know why you use an old loofah? Because the silk is too old to bite. It’s not rotten, but I can create a saying. This unbreakable silk can be said to be a symbol of love. After adding water and boiling it, it is a bowl of loofah soup that represents true love. It is sold for fifty yuan because There's love in it."

Li Shimin even stuttered, and it took him a long time to hold back a few words, and said, "This is clearly boiled loofah."

Gu Tianya nodded, and said with a smile: "Loofahs are easy to find. They are everywhere by the lake outside the village. They are lush and lush. You can just pick one. Water is also easy to find. The most important thing in Gujia Village is water, so the two Brother, you are right, this is really a bowl of soup with loofah boiled in clear water."

Li Shimin's face was livid, and he said angrily: "This thing is not even worth a penny."

Gu Tianya didn't shy away from it, and said indifferently: "But with the rhetoric, it's worth fifty pennies."

At this moment, I heard a sweet laugh in the yard, but it was a lady from the official family who was so excited that she had successfully got the bowl of soup.

The soup was not obtained by her bidding, but the money paid by the eldest son of another family.

Li Shimin was dumbfounded.

Gu Tianya next to him sighed, pointed over there and said in a low voice: "Second brother, did you see that the woman smiled proudly and proudly, and look at the boy who paid the money, does he have a sad face drooping? Head? This is helplessness in his heart, but no matter how helpless he is, he still took out the money. There is no way, to please the beautiful woman, I guess after he took out the fifty coins, he might be beaten up by the elders at home tonight .”

Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly heard a crisp sound of 'snap', but saw a noble lady who was so angry that she actually slapped the boy.

The noble lady scolded angrily: "Stinky boy, are you suffering from insanity? You dare to buy such a bowl of loofah soup for fifty yuan. It's not a question of money, it's a matter of your brain." Question. Kneel down for your mother and don't get up for an hour."

The boy was slapped, but he didn't dare to reply, instead he really knelt down, drooping his head with a bitter face.

Snapped!

Suddenly there was another crisp sound, obviously it was another slap, but this slap was not the noble lady hitting her son again, it was the mother of the official lady over there hitting her own daughter.

But seeing that she was also a noble lady, she was also furious at this time, and she yelled and cursed: "Stinky girl, you are disgraceful. The eldest son of the Liu family was punished by his mother in full view for you. The man has gold under his knees, but now he is You have to kneel in front of everyone for an hour. He will be your husband-in-law in the future, how can you have the heart to hurt him like this? You, you, why don’t you kneel down and admit your mistakes..."

The young lady's pretty face flushed, she obviously felt that she had lost face in such an occasion, so she whimpered and said: "Mother, this soup represents sincerity, and fifty cents is not expensive!"

"shit!"

The lady started to drink angrily, and said with a livid face: "If a bowl of loofah soup can also represent sincerity, sincerity in this world is too worthless. How can a bowl of loofah boiled in water be worth fifty cents? "

The girl was still dissatisfied, sobbing and saying: "It's only about fifty Wen, and it's not my daughter's own money."

"Isn't your future husband's money money?"

The lady stopped drinking again, and said angrily: "Do you know how difficult it is to make money?"

She didn't wait for her daughter to refute, and continued: "The reason why your future husband-in-law was punished by his mother is because he wasted fifty pennies for nothing. Although this amount of money is indeed not much, no matter how little it is, it is hard earned .In order to earn the family fortune, your Uncle Liu's family risked his life to charge on the battlefield. In your eyes, the fifty coins are not much, but it may be that your Uncle Liu's family took a knife in exchange for it. And you A little vanity, just, just..."

The girl finally lowered her head.

However, the lady still didn't let her go, and said again: "Your Uncle Liu family is working hard to earn the family business, and your father is also working hard. Now we look like a family of officials and eunuchs, and it seems that the family has a big business, but Have you ever thought that these family businesses are all earned by men with their lives, girl, this is what men have earned with their lives..."

She finally stopped talking here, and suddenly got up and walked towards the other side.

That was where the Liu family she was talking about was sitting, but she saw the noble lady suddenly bowed her knees and bowed solemnly, and said to another noble lady with a guilty expression: "Sister Liu family, my little sister is really ashamed. , let her do absurd behavior. Please look at the face of my little sister, and forgive your son's punishment. Under the eyes of so many people, a good man shouldn't lose his face. "

Unexpectedly, the noble lady shook her head slowly, sighed and said: "Since ancient times, people have taught their children so that they can be remembered. Sister Xue, don't plead for him. I am punishing him now to improve his memory. But I'm not dissatisfied, but you shouldn't let your daughter be punished in front of others. Girls, how can you bear this lesson, let her get up quickly, lest you get stuck in a dead end..."

The two ladies comforted each other, but neither of them could persuade the other.

Not far away, Li Shimin nodded slowly, finally showing a smile on his face.Gu Tianya next to him laughed, nodded in the same way, and said, "This is a woman from Tang Dynasty, who knows how to be diligent and considerate to men. She doesn't admire vanity, knows that life is not easy, and even if she has become a wealthy family, she still does not forget the hardships of making money. Hehe, good!"

Li Shimin was startled for a moment, then thoughtfully said, "So you did it on purpose by selling loofah soup."

Gu Tianya smiled again, and said: "It's just a lesson, I've been good at being a teacher all my life."

He got up suddenly and walked straight there, and then under the surprised eyes of the two ladies, he leaned over to look at the kneeling son of the Liu family, and asked softly, "How old is this year?"

At this moment, the boy's face was red and his ears were red. He obviously couldn't react when he heard the words. Even his mother was also stunned because of the suddenness.

On the contrary, the noble lady of the Xue family was full of surprise, and hurriedly replied with a trembling voice: "Gu...Mr. Gu, my son-in-law is 15 years old this year."

Gu Tianya nodded, then suddenly asked: "Then how old is your daughter this year?"

Lady Xue's answer trembled even more, she tried her best to suppress her anxiety and said, "Mr. Gu, my daughter is also 15 years old this year."

"You're only 15 years old, when do you plan to get married?"

"Returning to Mr. Gu, we will be ready to accept the lottery at the beginning of next spring..."

"Well, I'm too young to get married too early. If you want to, can you delay the time a little bit?"

"Gu...Mr. Gu, what do you mean..."

"Hehe, I was watching from a distance just now and saw the two wives teaching their sons. Suddenly, I wanted to be a master for a while."

The audience stood dumbfounded.

The two noble ladies were already foolish with joy.
