He planted peonies in the Tang Dynasty

"In the prosperous place of Yanliu in Chang'an, there are thousands of households in the west and east, the west gate is long and long to pass through Yangguan, the milk wine and Hu Xuan have no peace at night, the east gate is Zhaozhao looking up to the wild geese, and the rich and noble princes are always walking...you should be lucky, Chang'an is the most suitable for two kinds of people. Tolerance, one is a poet, and the other is a musician, no matter the literati, the princes and nobles, or the vagabonds, workshop craftsmen, all love music people."

The Big Wild Goose Pagoda not far from the south is looming in the evening mist, stone lampposts carved with cloud patterns are lined up on both sides of the road, the storefronts are magnificent, and thousands of peony banners are dotted among the cascading pavilions and delicate flower bridges.

Ye Nu followed behind Gu Yue, whether it was silk brocades, jewelry and spices, porcelain wood carvings, calligraphy and paintings in the study, or horses with silver saddles, peacocks with bright feathers, everything he couldn't name, he had to pay attention to a few inches.

There was a faint cheerful pipa sound in the attic window, and Ye Nu naturally hummed along, and suddenly his eyes lit up again, and he finally saw something familiar and kind to him beside the pavement——a tea tree made of tea. tea cake.

Ye Nu reached out and touched the crystal clear tea pot inlaid with blood amber: "This is beautiful." Gu Yue picked up a few pieces of tea cakes and smelled them: "This is baked according to the ancient method of Dongyi, and it needs to be boiled three times. "A tea lady with a broad chest came with a smile, her lips were tinged with deep lip balm: "Mr. Xiaolang is so handsome." Ye Nu was startled, and ran away in a hurry.

Gu Yue shook his head and said with a smile: "I think you are usually very courageous, why do you run away when you see a girl? It seems that you can't go to Pingkangfang." Ye Nu said: "What Pingkangfang?" Gu Yue smiled Stopped in embarrassment, looked up at the stars.

Ye Nu raised his head and really saw the light.A streak of sparks flew across the sky, whistling and scorching past his cheeks, and flew into the Huaqiao Cave, flying to capture the peony flag, and finally landed in the hands of an old man with curly hair and brown beard riding a camel.

The old man smiled and stretched out his hand, "Mr. Xiao Lang, would you like to be with Sha Jun Xiaoyao? Tonight's astrology, Tianliang is in the same degree as Wenqu in the Wu Palace, which is a sign of great nobility." Ye Nu rubbed the corner of his clothes with his hands, and went in without knowing it.With a snap of his fingertips, Gu Yue dropped six Tongbao coins in the air: "Trouble King Sha." Ye Nu said, "Why, ah..."

Before Ye Nu could react, he was engulfed in a dense fog, and a three-petaled leafless flower bloomed in the fog. He wanted to pick the flower, but suddenly a unicorn appeared from under his feet, roaring and carried him to a peach blossom. In the middle of the forest, at the end of the vast expanse of flowers, there was a majestic palace, and the sound of jade echoed in his ears again.

"Boom"

As soon as Ye Nu woke up, Lord Sha had already left on a camel.Gu Yue smiled and said: "This is the fairy palace technique, is it fun?" Ye Nu panted, her little face flushed.Gu Yue said: "It's getting late, let's go, go to Changchun residence."

Ye Nu calmed down, answered a word and followed.Although he is nostalgic for the prosperity, he also knows that living in the world is not a dream, and most of the beautiful things sold in the East Market are expensive utensils, only the dignitaries can afford it.

Turning the corner of the street, I came to a courtyard covered with printed silk. Gu Yue skillfully shook the copper bell at the door, and greeted: "Liniang, we have another young gentleman here." Ye Nu's eyes widened .

"It's just a small shop." Liniang was approaching her with a plump body and a smile on her face. She was wearing a brown skirt, and her face was radiant with the unique ruddy luster of people from Dongshi. .”

As soon as the words were finished, a tall and strong curly-haired barbarian came with a dozen thick cashmere jackets on his shoulders.Gu Yue picked up one, and gestured: "Wrap the inside with a few layers first, and then put on the official uniform of the Tai Le Department on the outside, it will be much rounder."

Ye Nu didn't know the price, and didn't ask too much, checking the needle thread inch by inch.Liniang smiled and said, "It's suitable. If Mr. Xiao Lang is afraid of getting the wrong price, let Gu Lang take care of it for you. I'll be the middle man."

Ye Nu's hand stopped: "It's enough to bother Gu Lang." Li Niang said: "Young Lord, I don't know Gu Lang better than I do." Gu Yue squeezed his throat and coughed: "Li Niang, don't say that! Irregular."

"Okay, let's be serious." Liniang packed her jacket swiftly, her words were like chopping tofu with a knife. You must not learn from him."

Gu Yue took out the money to pay the bill, rolled up his sleeves and saluted, "Hey, I haven't dared to forget Liniang's kindness." Liniang rolled her eyes and said, "I have to worry about it earlier." Ye Nu took the bag, smiled, A bill was placed on the cabinet, and I kept saying thank you.

It was daytime, passing away with the sound of bells and drums, and the two of them bought a few odds and ends, and it was almost the end of you time.On the way back to the Tai Le Department, Ye Nu hid from the Jinwu Guards while listening to Gu Yue talking about various stories that happened in Dongshi.

Twelve years ago, during the Lantern Festival, the Japanese mission came to visit, the gate of the palace was not restricted, and the colors of the fireworks were reflected in the Taiye Pond, causing all the dancing horses in the palace to be in a mess, and they rushed into Dongshi and into the Yunque Bridge.

Six years ago, Li Xuanxuan, the jade-faced beauty and princess Yuzhen, was swinging on the swings in the moon tower, throwing poems to attract beautiful men, and one of them was a troupe actor. Thousands of painters were invited to dye her pens for her, which became "Moon House Spring".

Four years ago, Zhizun drove east to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen. The Municipal Department urged every household to prepare tribute gifts. The rich family donated money first, and the poor family followed suit. The banners and colorful exercises alone stretched for more than [-] miles.

A year ago, the cavalry broke through Tubo in the Helong area, tied up thousands of Hunu and sold them in the market. Rich and noble sons from various families competed to snatch them. The seven-foot-wide street was overcrowded and blocked for three full months.

The night in early spring was originally cold, but it became warm because of this travel, and Ye Nu was no longer afraid of Chang'an.After washing up, he curled up on his floor bunk, looking at Gu Yue who was sitting in front of the desk reading, a sweet smile curled up on his lips.

Gu Yue reached out and flicked the wick of the pottery bean lamp: "What are you laughing at?" Ye Nu thought for a while, opened the cloth bag, took out a pack of pancakes and handed it over: "Here, this is called soil baked, share it with you." Gu Yue Said: "I don't know if you're not relatives, but I don't care about you." Ye Nu said: "It's because I'm not relatives, so I remember that you are good to me."

Gu Yue slapped the slips on the desk, and picked up a piece of soil to bake.Ye Nu hurriedly got up and poured a good glass of cold water: "It's too hard..." Gu Yue's eyes fell on the swaying moon shadow in the glass, it shattered and condensed again.

When I was young, I went to Chang'an with a caravan as a tribute, and I went to Chang'an with a caravan to take the exam. I didn't know what it was like until I failed the rankings. I wandered in the busy Dongshi City, alone, with no relatives. When I was about to pass out, I met Li Niang in a brown skirt. .

Liniang's face shone brightly, and her laughter sounded like a bell: "Chang'an is such a mean place, a wandering little scholar is also pitiful, just stay in the shop and wait with me for that heartless gentleman. "He agreed.

He was a miscellaneous servant for three years, under the care of Liniang, a county government official and an official in Jingzhao Mansion for thousands of years, and then he met his benefactor's father and son, Wei Heng, Taichang Qing, and Wei Wenkui, a member of the Ministry of Rites. The city is the official of Taile.

It was only when he left the residence in Changchun that he realized that the beauties of Liniang and others had already died in the Cold War against Khitan, and the barbarians in the shop were the Khitan slaves she bought in one go after shedding all tears. .

Ye Nu asked: "Does she still hate it now?" Gu Yue said: "As she said, Chang'an is a mean place. It has been prosperous for more than ten years, and she doesn't hate it anymore. To help the passing passengers."

In difficult times, even the support of half a piece of cake is a precious affection. These passers-by, whether they are prosperous or ordinary, most of them will turn to Liniang to repay their favor. Therefore, Changchun Residence can be found in the East City. Based on these years, I have never paid a single penny of peace money.

Recalling this, Gu Yue smiled, lifted Ye Nu's black hair around his cheeks, and put it behind his shoulders: "Look, you will become famous in Chang'an in the future, and my little favors now don't have to be in vain."

Ye Nu nodded: "Although I'm new here, I don't know how deep it is, but my parents and brothers and sisters are still there. If you have grudges, you may not be able to repay them. If you have kindness, you will definitely repay them. Don't worry."

So, for half a month, Ye Nu lived in the Spring Courtyard, patiently waiting for the Tai Le Department to arrange shifts in March.He knew that there were tens of thousands of musicians in the city, and few of them became famous, but only because of Gu Yue's kindness, they were not afraid of the difficulties in the world.

In the next chapter, Ye Nu is about to start school, there will be a report-style narrative, without high energy, it will mainly introduce some daily routines and rules of the Tai Le Department. After all, Ye Nu has come from the grassroots, and there is nothing wrong with being solid.

What's more, although the imperial examination system in Tang Dynasty was more formalized, the year of Kaiyuan was indeed the era when those who were named on the gold list were in power. The insiders were officials, and the outsiders were officials, and the mixed-colored people would be excluded, just like Gu Yue. At present, it belongs to the type of "scholars who do not advance through literature, those who talk about it are ashamed".
