He planted peonies in the Tang Dynasty

On the twenty-second day of the second month, the royal family returned to Beijing. The roads were circled in a radius of [-] miles from the city walls. Red paper was laid out during the day, and lanterns were lit at night. People are welcome along the road.

Caravans from various countries in the southwest, because the Golden Light Gate was closed, could only be stationed outside the Mingde Gate to wait for the royal team to enter the city. Therefore, brown skin, blue eyes, golden robes, etc., formed a market in the southern suburbs.

After Su An finished his work, he saw Gu Yue bored reading in the carriage. At the end, he said that he wanted to grind that piece of jade, so he wouldn't let him see it, so he agreed to Ami's request and asked Lei Haiqing to come to this temporary place. Precarious, lively and noisy market wandering.

"Su worship, fennel!" At that time, Ami's eyes reflected the bustling fragrant flowers, "There..."

Before they could finish speaking, a group of camels ran past them.Ami staggered and almost fell down, but fortunately Su An caught her.With sharp eyes and quick hands, Lei Haiqing grabbed the camel's bell, held it in his hand, and scolded the leading jockey with a smile: "Your family doesn't have eyes, who would be dumb." Ami said: "Thanks for staying fragrant all the way."

Su Anshun looked in the direction and saw more than ten beige yurt tents. Beside the convoy of spices, more than a hundred burly masked men were patrolling back and forth. .

"Look at the flower hairpins of everyone, are they musicians in the palace?" The camel jockey turned his head, waving his tassels all over his body, walked in front of them, and said, "If you want to change the door flags of Young Master He, see if you don't hold them." cry in one place."

At that time, the wind blew past the corner of the curtain of the main tent, revealing the totem of a bird's body and a human face. A boy with white velvet stepped out, threw the flag to the jockey, and said, "Hwarang, let's not report Tai Le for now. During the three-day public holiday, I will communicate with Chengmen Lang, and put six carts first, and I will go home, store the sugar in the cellar for storage first, and then deliver the goods to each house, and write my name on the post."

The boy's instructions, which were as smooth as flowing water, stopped abruptly when his eyes fell on Su An: "Asu?" Su An blinked, left Ami, stepped forward two steps, and said Looking at it, I suddenly laughed out loud.

"He Lian!"

When He Lian took Su An and others into the tent filled with sweet wine, he had already traveled thousands of miles.

Go west out of Chang'an, out of Yumen, pass through Gaochang, turn to Tianzhu, follow the rut of Sanskrit Buddhist music, and transport spices and musical instruments back.A hundred years ago, the journey that the monk surnamed Chen spent half his life on has become a business way in the past ten years.

"It's only been two years, how did Master He become like this?" Su An pulled the thin braids behind He Lian's back, pulled the gold collar out of his collar and touched it, "I know I can't come out, and my brows are a little red."

He Lian's face was worn out by the wind and sand, and his pair of starry eyes were dark and deep, and he couldn't see the beauty of the past.

"Asu, I brought you a gift, who is this?" "Little friend Haiqing." "It turned out to be Lei's offering. It just so happens that there is also a scorpion engraved with scriptures. If you like it, I will give it to you." .”

He Lian personally moved a phoenix-headed five-stringed phoenix, with colorful sleeves drawn back to his shoulders.Su An was startled, but what he saw was a three-foot-long scar on He Lian's arm: "How did you do it?" He Lian fiddled with Qin Zhen, and said with a smile: "There is no paper in that place on the way, take The birch bark records, the purchase and delivery, and the language is not clear, which caused a misunderstanding, and because of these instruments, the Jiedu Mansion remanded them." Lei Haiqing said: "Where is it?" He Lian said: "Shuye City. "

Because of this, He Lian not only learned Tianzhu, but also a little bit of Tubo, and taught them by rolling his tongue on the spot.Lei Haiqing studies exhalation and mouth shape.Ami couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, and his two leaky front teeth were wheezing.

"Do you still plan to stay in Taile Department in the future?" Su An asked after drinking a few glasses of wine, "After all, this scar..."

"Where is the priest Su?" He Lian's lips also had bloody wine, "I really wish I didn't hear "Neon Clothes."

Su An told the truth that he planned to go to the academy in Anyi to print out the score.He Lian said: "I'm afraid it's not easy to print the score with musical symbols?" Su An said: "It's true that the Secretary's Ministry won't allow it, so we have to find a way." I wrote back, based on the merits of this trip, and because of his body injury, he will be released from labor service at the end of the year. At that time, he wants to take the examination for a doctor of sound.

He Lian didn't say that many of the treasures he transported back will go to the court, and the rest will be worth [-]% of Liuxiantang's property: "Nowadays, the country is prosperous and prosperous, and Lehu can also test for fame, which is very good .” Su An said: “Yes.”

Su An was happy, and stayed in the tent within three days, talking a lot with He Lian.It is said that in Tianzhu at this time, the northern part was relatively stable, Buddhism and music flourished, and the southern clans fought in separatist regimes, but there were the most precious and authentic spices.

"Turmeric, which looks like ginger root, has a mild, slightly peppery or bitter taste, with a stronger flavor when fresh."

"Asafoetida can prevent food accumulation and relieve cough. The local people say that it can drive away the evil spirits brought by children from the mother's womb."

Having said that, He Lian paused.Su An asked: "Would you like to go home? Is Shao Niang okay?" He Lian said: "Stay as usual, I will take good care of her." Su An put his hand on He Lian's knee and patted it lightly.

Su An also brought He Lian a gift, which was a rare pair of straw strings that he found in Luoyang Nanshi.

When the colorful flags and lights of Mingdemen became quieter, the common people also slowly poured into the city.When He Lian entered the city, Su An stood outside and waved to the caravan. When he saw the wheels running over the yellow land, he couldn't help wiping away his tears.

This is the first thing after returning to Chang'an.

Second, Su An took Ami to the brand-new peony workshop in Pingkang to light incense, recognized a few relatives, and reminded Uncle Gu to send all the collected news to Gu Yue; Chief Nine asked for help, the lease of Zhuangyuan Mansion has expired, thinking about Gu Yue’s identity, it’s not right to move out of Yongxing, and it’s not right to move out of Yongxing, and it’s not the same as Daming Palace in the east, so he retreated two streets to the south, and specially asked Cui Shao, who was at home, to help repair it. Afterwards, he went home and took a look at it. Unexpectedly, Su Ren's attitude changed greatly. Not only did he hang a poem welcoming him in front of the door, but he was also willing to discuss Sepu with him.

At that time, buds were sprouting from the branches of the peach tree in the manor house, and Xiang Shi took Su An's hand, wanting to take a walk with him, and muttered: "Why doesn't Ye Nu invite Mr. Gu to visit? Peach blossoms are about to bloom." Su An said: "Where are there no peach blossoms? She is no longer an official, so don't talk nonsense." Xiang Shi withdrew her hand, put her waist, and laughed heartily, shaking the stamens: "In these workshops, throwing a stone may be enough. Hitting the black gauze hat, A Niang is looking after Gu Lang to be quiet and gentle!"

Su An is still vague about the past.

Chang'an is such a place that can turn decay into magic. After staying for a long time, people's hearts will become generous and no longer mean. It's just that the new flowers replace the old flowers every year. Su An found that people would not chase after him if he didn't wear a mask. He ran away.

At the end of the month, after finishing these things, Su An was finally able to spare time to visit Anyi Academy and ask about the engraved editions.He found Lang Zhang Sixing, who was from Youzhou Mansion in the secretary province and was the same year as Gu Yue's secretary Lang Zhang Sixing, and invited him to go with him.

Generally, the scholarly family has their own transcripts, and the guests who visit Anyi's study are either businessmen who buy books in batches, or they come to meet Bole with two or three works for the sake of fame.

"Su's worship, it's not that the secretary is trying to make things difficult for you." Zhang Sixing spoke rigorously and was also humble. He listened to Su An's cheerful singing all the way, and the two got along very well. too much."

On that day, Anyi Square was filled with golden dust, and a convoy of yellow paper and jujube wood slowly drove in.Su An just caught up and covered his nose with his sleeve all the way, only to find out when he got out of the car that the dust was actually flying debris from books.

In the vestibule, a huge mountain made up of stacked manuscripts was placed in front of the book selectors. It took them a moment to fly by, judge whether the book was of any value, and sort it into baskets. Send it to the printing workshop in the atrium.

"Two gentlemen, please." Mr. Zhu greeted them. He was as thin as a crucian carp and spoke as fast as a bead. He said that knowledge is not enough for today's exams, and it needs to be solved. Next year, these tricky books will definitely pass. big sale.

In addition to "Small Notes on the Analects of Confucius", "Seven Sons of Yongxing Explaining the Spring and Autumn Period", "Nanxin Xinsheng", "Dayi Metaphysics", there are also some miscellaneous books, such as "Spring and Autumn Five Elements Intercourse Dacheng Fu", "Longyang Eighteen Styles", "The Number One Scholar" Heart Sutra...

Listening to these titles, not to mention Zhang Sixing blushing, even Su An felt a little sorry, it was really interesting.

Su An walked around for two or three times before asking the attendant to take out the first three chapters to show Mr. Zhu.

Mr. Zhu took it over, looked at it twice, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared: "This is not possible." Su An and Zhang Sixing said in unison: "Why?" Mr. Zhu said: "It's not that I won't print it, but it's really difficult. "

Afterwards, the book boy led Su An into the sweaty Yinfang.The model maker saw the jujube wood that had just been transported into pieces of wood, wrote the characters to be printed on thin paper, and carved them into Yangwen stroke by stroke; , cover it with white paper, use a clean brush to swipe the back of the paper, then take off the paper, bind it into a book, and it becomes a book.

Originally, this kind of engraving and printing was mostly used for Buddha statues, mantras, vows and almanacs, and now it is also widely used for disseminating poems and strategies. .

"Lang Guan, the craftsmen in the workshop don't know how to carve this."

Su An smiled, and sat on the wooden board: "It seems that Secretary Zhang has come here for nothing today." With just this sentence, Zhang Sixing naturally heard the anger in it, and didn't dare to offend Su An, so he stood in front of Mr. Zhu, It is impossible to ask for the secretary's refusal to let the official seal copy.

Knowing that he was from the imperial city, Mr. Zhu hurriedly changed his tone, but his face was still tepid, as if something was missing.Su An looked at him and said, "Mr. Zhu, don't worry. I'll pay the deposit for the monotonous mole money. I'll carve the musical notes here first. After all the books are finished, I'll pay for the follow-up. It will cost three hundred copies." Mr. Zhu Hearing this, he immediately became cheerful, and laughed loudly: "Okay!"

In this way, Su An finally got the channel of the publishing house's engraved edition by defrauding him, and he was very satisfied. Before leaving, he thanked Zhang Sixing, and even ordered a few copies of "The Heart Sutra of the Number One Scholar".

"'The sky is blue, the water is vast...'Eighteen said that fairness is not fair. You are just a commoner. If you write a few sentences at will, they will be recited by others. I am famous in two capitals. I want to leave a mark on the world. To be so sneaky."

Later, Su An dragged his exhausted body to the new residence of the Gu Mansion, and complained about such a sentence as soon as they met.

"When did I write 'Heaven Cang Cang'? It was just added by others, true and false, and slander." Gu Yue rolled his eyes and said gently, "Asu, come in quickly, I have something important to do. Ask your advice."

The two sat down in front of the vanity mirror.In Su An's hand, tremblingly squeezed a piece of wedding invitation—Pei's family got married on the third day of March

Gu Yue was obsessed with combing his hair, and combed his hair: "This invitation is for you, but it was sent to my house, which shows that Pei Lang is careful. He and Zhang Wan, childhood sweethearts since they were young, are finally going to achieve a real fruit. I am happy, and naturally agree to go with you."

Su An blinked: "The name of the tea-tasting girl is 'Wan'?" Gu Yue said: "What else?" Su An said: "I heard that she still liked you when she was at the flower banquet." Gu Yue smiled Then, he pulled out a strand of Su An's hair and pulled it hard.Su An was in pain, ouch, and begged for mercy: "Okay, okay, my fault." Gu Yue then let go, and stroked that silky long hair with peace of mind.

Because I have to bypass the Himalayas, it is impossible to go back and forth to Tianzhu within two years. Please forgive me. For a while, I doubled the speed for Young Master He.
