Crossing the Datang Restaurant

Because it is a rented house, there are a lot of things to buy, but fortunately, the owner of this house, Uncle Wu, is a nice person, and you can lend them extra blankets. Except for some things that you wear next to your body, a few people don’t even need to buy extra clothes up.

Uncle Wu is the owner of this house, that is to say, the old man who lives alone. Like most people, he rents out the spare house. In his words, not only can there be some subsidies in the house, but also A little more anger.

Rong Yushu has always respected such an understanding and kind old man, and of course he also has a good impression of him. Perhaps it is fate, Brother Tuoming went outside to buy some vegetables in the West Market, and showed his hand a little.

A richer banquet was put on the table. Although it was winter, there were basically chicken and fish, and vegetables gradually increased.

A thick layer of soup is poured on the surface of the West Lake Vinegar Fish. The two halves of the fish are placed on a porcelain plate, steaming hot, exuding a strong sweetness with vinegar. The shape is unique and simple. , but it is indeed a famous dish of West Lake.

There is also a fried belly with sour radish, which uses sour radish kimchi and sauerkraut from Uncle Wu’s house.

Or the Braised Chicken with Mushrooms and Yellow Wine, which is made from local chicken, braised with mushrooms and rice wine, the chicken is firm, and rice wine is added to remove the fishy smell. Covered with thick sauce, served with shiitake mushrooms to adjust the taste, soft and smooth, the taste really couldn't be better.

Uncle Wu said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the son is not only talented in literature, but also good at cooking. I am a little surprised."

Rong Yushu smiled modestly, and said: "Where, where, Uncle Wu is really joking."

Looking at Uncle Wu's manner of speaking, he should not be an ordinary person, at least he has read books before, but he doesn't know why he lived alone in Chang'an. As for his children, Rong Yushu cleverly didn't ask, An old man over [-] years old lives alone in Chang'an, without his children and wife, so it is a sad thing to think about. If he is smart, he should not ask.

Moreover, Rong Yushu looked at it before. Uncle Wu had a study room, and there were a lot of books in it, which surprised Rong Yushu. In addition to having a certain amount of financial resources, what is also needed is that you like to study.

After dinner, Tang Guang still didn't come. He left a note before, and he must have come if he saw it. Maybe it was because he returned to Beijing on the first day and had so many things to do, so he didn't have time to visit.

Ignoring the slightest expectation in my heart, I got ready to sleep with my shirt on.

When he got up in the morning, Brother Ming had already prepared breakfast. After breakfast, Rong Yushu started to study as usual. Uncle Wu lent his study to Rong Yushu. The shot hit the mahogany table, adding a bit of warmth. Rong Yushu sat behind the desk, feeling calm and leisurely, but suddenly heard a knock on the door.

Uncle Wu walked in and handed a letter to Rong Yushu. The latter was also a little strange. His first reaction was, Tang Guang gave it to him?

But it was Cui Pinqian who surprised Rong Yushu.

The letterhead in his hand was a bit delicate, it was expensive at first glance, the paper was finely crafted, and there was a touch of sandalwood incense on it, which made one's head sober.

With some doubts, he opened the envelope, glanced around, and knew the general content inside.

It probably means that Rong Yushu just arrived in Chang'an yesterday, so it is inevitable that he is not familiar with Chang'an. Three days later, there will be a banquet in Luoyufang in Chang'an. I hope Rong Yushu can go there, and he also said that there is a surprise waiting for him. .

Rong Yushu pressed down the letter paper in his hand, but he couldn't suppress the doubt in his heart. He just arrived in Chang'an yesterday and lived in a house. How could someone deliver a letter today? The location is so accurate, like Just like following yourself.

Thinking that since I came here, there have been no superfluous signs. Except for some people Tang Guang and Dali Temple have met, no one knows. Oh, by the way, I also saw that guy Zheng Zhide yesterday, but he should I don't know Cui Pinqian, and I won't tell him about myself.

Suddenly it dawned on me, thinking that yesterday I went to the government office to register my residence, and by the way I presented my plate, as well as the official document that I was admitted to the exam, I must have found it at that time.

Rong Yushu's complexion became a little complicated. After thinking about it, he hesitated, wondering whether he should go or not.

The only contact I had with Cui Pinqian before was that I was deeply impressed, that kind of graceful, smiling face, with a confident view of everything on his face, the young master who makes it hard to see, obviously he looks better than the oiran To be beautiful, she is actually one of the owners of a brothel in Yangzhou. Thinking of meeting the brothel in Luoyang for the first time, one should expect that this person's influence is at least considered good.

Some hesitated, Rong Yushu certainly wouldn't say that the surprise that Cui Pinqian said later was a bit attractive, although this aggressive method seemed a bit old-fashioned, but it was quite useful, he has always been a very curious person, this This time is of course no exception.

The arrival of this letter disturbed his mood, Rong Yushu put the letter aside, it said that it was three days later, this matter is still very early, so there is no need to worry.

Moreover, Tang Guang appeared at Uncle Wu's house in the afternoon, which made Rong Yushu forget about it.

Tang Guang was wearing a dark reddish-brown gown, embroidered with Jinyun bat inscriptions, and he looked elegant. The hair crown tied on top of his head made his cheeks thin and his nose straight. a long distance away.

It was just that a smile appeared on his face when he saw Rong Yushu.

Naturally, he was a little happy to see Tang Guang, but he was invited to have a look. Tang Guang was very polite to outsiders, and when he looked at Uncle Wu, he saluted slightly.

On the contrary, Uncle Wu seemed a little surprised. This man was wearing the crimson auspicious cloud mansion, and he could be seen as a high-ranking official at a glance. His face looked a little respectful, but he didn't expect Rong Yushu to have such a friend.

Rong Yushu wanted to stay with Tang Guang for dinner, but was rejected.Said: "I won't eat today, there will be patrols tonight, and there will be plenty of time in the future."

patrol?Has anything major happened in Chang'an City recently?Rong Yushu was a little puzzled, but the latter explained: "It's not that something major happened, but sometimes, we also need to be responsible for the curfew patrol on Chang'an Street at night. This month, it happens to be our turn."

Oh, Rong Yushu suddenly realized, okay, Rong Yushu smiled and waved him off.

The few people at dinner used it simply, but they suddenly remembered something, which shocked Ming Geer and Wu Bo next to them. "I forgot to ask him a question."

Brother Ming breathed a sigh of relief, but his young master was surprised. When asked what happened, Rong Yushu scratched his head, and said a little embarrassedly: "It's nothing, it's just that someone Ask me to go to Luoyufang, and I want to ask what the problem is."

Oh, Uncle Wu looked a little helpless, and said: "You can ask the old man about this kind of thing. Luoyufang is a famous song and dance workshop in Chang'an. It is very popular and very famous in Chang'an."

The singing and dancing workshop is similar to Rong Yushu's thinking, but looking at Cui Pinqian's appearance, it is either a singing and dancing workshop or a brothel Chuguan. This guy really intends to develop his career to the peak.

But are you going or not?Seeing that Rong Yushu was in a bit of trouble, Uncle Wu coughed and said, "Why did your friend invite you over?"

Rong Yushu froze for a moment, and said with some uncertainty: "It should be." I had made an appointment with Feng Chen to come to Chang'an before, but it was because I came to Chang'an first, and I had already written a letter to inform me. , and wrote two letters at the same time, one was to Zhou Fuye and the others, and the other was to Feng Chen, asking him to help pass it on. By the way, if you come to Chang'an, you can also visit.

Uncle Wu smiled, the wrinkles on his face were deep, and said: "That should be a good thing, get in touch with friends in Chang'an more, get to know more people, and spread your fame, which is also good for you to become an official. It will also be beneficial if you can attend some dignitaries' gatherings and get to know more people."

Rong Yushu said with some doubts: "Oh? Really? For example?"

Uncle Wu smiled kindly, and said: "When the spring flowers are in full bloom, there are often high-ranking officials and dignitaries holding spring appreciation banquets and spring welcome banquets. The requirements for such banquets are not high, but they must be introduced by friends. If you want to enter, if you make a good poem or a good word, and attract people's attention, it will be the best."

Rong Yushu was thoughtful, and seemed quite reasonable, and then he showed a smile, and thanked him sincerely: "Thank you, Uncle Wu, for your suggestion."

Uncle Wu waved his hand and said with a smile: "This is kind of a reminder, but anyone with some experience will know that I am just borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, so it is necessary to go to Luoyufang for a while. Go, just immerse yourself in reading sage books is not enough."

Speaking of reading sage books, Rong Yushu seemed to think of something, his voice slowed down a bit, and said: "I saw Uncle Wu's study room, there are a lot of books, can I let Xiaosheng take a look?"

Uncle Wu waved his hand and readily agreed: "It's not difficult, just read it. These are all collected when I was young. I don't usually have any hobbies. I collect some books and gradually have these things. scale."

Rong Yushu hurriedly cupped his hands in thanks.

After dinner, nothing happened. Rong Yushu stayed in the study. After reading it for a while, he felt his eyes were a little uncomfortable. Yes, I went to the shelf in the study and started looking for it.

Uncle Wu's study has a lot of books, and almost half of the space is filled with close-fitting bookshelves. After flipping through Rong Yu's books, he really found a rural tale, which he read with great interest.

My eyes hurt when I read the original book, but I feel much better after reading these miscellaneous books. I quickly finished reading this book as if it were a novel, only to find out that there is a second book, which seems to be in another place. Rong Yushu was easy to find for a while. In order to protect these books from any damage, they are often covered with kraft paper outside. They look exactly the same from the outside, and it takes a lot of effort to find them.

I read a lot of books, and there are many Fengshui secrets about Zhouyi Zatan, and then I was attracted by a book called "Sui Dynasty Unofficial History".

Unofficial history always attracts attention, and Rong Yushu is no exception. After being attracted, he flipped through it casually, and the flash of light in front of him broke a tendon in Rong Yushu's mind. .

He hurriedly turned over, but he didn't seem to see it.

The heartbeat in his heart was getting bigger and bigger, and Rong Yushu inevitably became nervous. He returned to the desk and began to browse from the front page.

The name appeared in front of Rong Yushu, Rong Yushu was a little excited, desperately suppressed his heartbeat, carefully looked at everything in the book, but the smile on his face gradually faded, and there was some surprise in his eyes.
