Datang Live Room

When Chu Suiliang arrived in Kuoding County, it was as if he had returned to his own home.

The two old men found Yan Kai's house with ease.

Knocked on the door and it was Yan Xiaoer who opened the door.

He saluted Chu Suiliang respectfully and said, "Mr. Chu."

After Yan Kai knew that he was Chu Suiliang, he took him and taught Yan Xiaoer how to write for a few days.

"Oh, Xiao Er has grown taller again!"

He walked in familiarly, after all, he had been here for a long time last time.

Ask the waiter to take the two old men to find Mr. Sun first, and he said hello to Yan Laoer in the yard: "Brother Yan, what are you doing?"

"Mr. Chu." Yan Laoer said with some embarrassment: "Learn... learn to write."

Chu Suiliang went over to look at it and laughed and said: "Brother Yan has made great progress. This is the stroke. It should be like this."

He said, demonstrated, and returned the pen to Yan Laoer.

At this time, Sister-in-law Yan heard something going on outside, and when she came out, she saw that it was Chu Suiliang, and she was very happy.

This Mr. Chu was told by Kai'er that he was a high official in Chang'an City, but he never had any airs in their family, and everyone still liked him very much.

"Mr. Chu is here again. Just in time, Kai'er has made a new dessert. I'm sure you'll like it."

As he said that, he took out a can.

Chu Suiliang's eyes lit up, he took it with a smile and said, "Hahaha, I've been thinking about your sweets for a long time."

After saying that, he exchanged a scroll for the can in Yan's hand, opened it, smelled it, and scooped out a piece of orange with a spoon and put it in his mouth.

"Oh, sweet, this is good, this is good!"

Chu Suiliang, a serious sweet tooth, felt physically and mentally comfortable.

"What is this?" Mrs. Yan looked at the scroll in her hand. Why did it look so familiar? She seemed to have seen it somewhere.

"Oh, this is given to your sister-in-law by His Majesty, the fifth-grade imperial wife."

"This... this is an imperial edict!" Mrs. Yan finally remembered where she had seen this thing.

The imperial edicts for Yan Lao'er who was sent home to be granted the title of county boy and for himself to be granted the title of imperial wife were not the same as this.

Then she quickly realized that she had upgraded.

It used to be from the fifth level, but now it is the full fifth level.

My son has become a county magistrate, so he understands some of these things.

Sister-in-law Yan didn't think it was bad that Chu Suiliang gave her the imperial edict so casually.

She also belongs to the kind of small farmer who thinks quietly and makes a fortune.

After taking this thing, the salary of the imperial court will increase in the future, so it is better for the family to know it quietly. There is no need to accept the order in a big way.

Anyway, my family's status in Kuoding County cannot be higher, and we don't need those vain things to improve it.

Carefully took the edict back to his room and put it away.

When I came out, I smiled even more happily.

"Mr. Chu likes to eat this canned food. Please bring more with you when you return to Chang'an. Kai'er said, what guarantee does this... guarantee?"

She lightly kicked Yan Laoer.

“Long shelf life!”

"Yes, yes, he said this has a long shelf life. It can be stored for a month even if frozen. You can eat it for a long time when you take it back to Chang'an."

"That's a good feeling!" Chu Suiliang said one sentence after another without stopping.

"That boy Yan Kai is good at everything, but he is too stingy, but Brother Yan and Sister Yan are still so grand!"

"Hey, isn't it good to say bad things about people behind their backs?" Yan Kai walked in at this time.

Chu Suiliang came to his home, and he naturally received the news.

Counting the days, it's time for him to come.

"To tell lies is to say bad things behind your back. But what I told is the truth!"

Chu Suiliang put the jar down, looked at Yan Kai and said, "Hey, I heard that you hung my words everywhere, even on the pig pen."

"No!" Yan Kai pretended to be stupid: "The things hanging on the pig pen are all made by my craftsmen using bone and wood inlays. What does it have to do with you?"

Chu Suiliang stretched out his index finger and tapped him, then asked straight to the point:

"I brought fifty craftsmen with me this time. They are basically shipbuilding craftsmen. I will lend them to you for two years. How many telescopes can I exchange for them?"

After that, he asked curiously: "What is a telescope? Your Majesty is very stingy and won't let anyone touch it."

Yan Kai ignored his question: "Lend it to me? Two years?"

He shook his head: "The time is too short!"

Chu Suiliang smiled and said, "Then how long do you think it is appropriate to borrow it?"

"Four years! I'll ask you to bring ten telescopes back."

Yan Kai thought that if he wanted to build enough blessing ships, it would take almost three or four years.

"Deal." Chu Suiliang pointed to the two old men who came out of Sun Simiao's room and said, "There are also these two old men. Your Majesty said we need to add more."

"Who are these two?" Yan Kai asked softly.

"Didn't you ask me to invite Bachelor Ouyang and Secretary Yu? You don't even know them!"

It turned out to be Ouyang Xun and Yu Shinan!

"Each one will count for you." Yan Kai and Chu Suiliang whispered. If the two old men heard this, they would probably turn around and leave immediately.

"One person per person?"

"You can keep them here for four years?"

"That won't work. You have to go back to Chang'an with me in a few months at most."

"Then you still think it's expensive?"

"Okay, deal!"

In this way, the two people reached an agreement on one side.

Then Chu Suiliang stood up and introduced everyone to each other.

Although Ouyang Xun and Yu Shinan didn't know Yan Kai well, they had just heard that Sun Simiao spoke highly of him, so naturally they wouldn't put on any airs.

Ouyang Xun even asked directly: "I heard that you are a good drinker?"

"I may not say it's a good wine, but I've recently brewed some new corn wine. Would you like to try it, Bachelor Ouyang?"

"Can corn make wine?"

Ouyang Xun also received some of the corn sent to Chang'an.

What Yankai grows is waxy corn, which tastes good to people like Ouyang Xun and others who are older and have bad teeth.

"Well, corn wine has a lower alcohol content than the spirits we make, but it has a sweet and fruity taste, which is also very good."

"Okay, let's have some!" Ouyang Xun said bluntly.

Yan Kai brought the wine and asked Li Dazui and the others to cook some of their specialty dishes.

"Mr. Chu, Mr. Ouyang, Mr. Yu."

Li Lizhi, who came back from playing outside, looked at the three people and said hello timidly.

The three adults had all given lessons to their brother, and now they suddenly appeared in Kuoding County. Could it be that they were here to take them back to Chang'an?

I miss my father and mother a little, but it’s also fun here.

Do you want to go back or not?

Of course, it turned out that she was overthinking.

According to Sun Simiao's suggestion, it was best for her to stay here for more than half a year, so it was impossible for Li Shimin to pick her up at this time.

During the meal, Yan Kai poured wine for Ouyang Xun and Yu Shinan one cup after another.

Although he doesn't drink much, he has seen many modern tricks to persuade people to drink.

When it comes to drinking alcohol in modern times, it is definitely not as cultured as the Tang Dynasty.

But the main theme is simple and direct.

What is the deepest feeling? For some reserved ancient people, it was difficult for them to say that the two of us actually had no feelings at all.

Especially literati like Ouyang Xun and Yu Shinan.

So I can only settle down as Yan Kai said.

And just like this, the two of them got drunk.
