The Forbidden City was full of guests, all of whom were people of high status. Liang Chuan's tattoo looked extremely dazzling among the crowd.
After the founding of the Song Dynasty, the status of warriors was feared by Taizu Taizong. Under repeated suppression, today's warriors have gone to heaven. When meeting several husbands, they still have to be polite and obedient and say hello. . This is true even for high-ranking officials, let alone the little people below.
Liang Chuan was able to follow Ding Wei before, and now he is following Xia Song. Each one has higher grades and higher power and status. This kid's status is really invincible!
Jia Chaochang's arrival caused everyone to unconsciously move one seat back. Everyone understood this tacitly, except Fan Zhongyan who didn't even raise his buttocks. When Jia Chaochang saw how impressive this man was, he was about to open his mouth to scold him, but he looked up and saw that it was Fan Zhongyan, the former school manager of the Secret Pavilion. The thief's policy gave the Western thief a headache.
He, Jia Chaochang, is a man of discernment, and the official family is so generous to him. Sooner or later, he will have his place in this position. When he is at the end of his life, he may have to be looked after by his juniors. Thinking of this joint, it was originally on his lips. If so, he swallowed it back.
Yan Shu spent a lot of money to bring these people together, and these people also gave him enough face. It was all due to his status. He was the teacher of today's official family. Zhao Zhen even politely gave him a teacher's gift in front of him. If they didn't even pay attention to the teachers from the official family, what would Zhao Zhen think if it reached Zhao Zhen's ears? Are they insignificant to the official family?
They have their own circle, which is their own territory, a small group that is completely separated from the imperial power and warriors. Are they not afraid that people outside will talk about them forming a clique? So what if we form a party? The officials want to rely on them to govern the world, so how can they be punished by putting them all in jail?
Yan Shu clapped his hands and saw that Jin Yao had already changed into a luxurious and capable outfit, with a purple silk belt around her waist. Her upper body was straight and her lower body was slender. There was a sense of heroism in the woman's delicacy, and her temperament was much more refined than before. Very accurate.
"Miss Jin, take out the newly arrived tobacco from your store and let the adults taste it."
Nowadays in the Forbidden City, Sun Houpu always moves around behind the scenes. Originally, some people were dissatisfied with Sun Houpu's way of doing business. They just thought that this owner was so short-sighted that even if a customer of his status came to the store to spend money to have fun, he didn't know how to come out and wait on him. Later, I don't know who spread the news. The financial backer behind this shop is Zhao Yunrang. . It seems that Zhao Zonge bumped into Zhao Yunrang. Who is he? That is the father of the future official family. Where is this Forbidden City? That is a serious property of the emperor. Who dares to find displeasure here? After the news spread, Sun Houpu became his idle shopkeeper. Not only did no one dare to cause trouble, but some people consciously protected the safety of the Forbidden City.
The top soldiers of the Beijing Inspection Department only heard about the commotion in the Forbidden City, and they arrived immediately. No matter who you are, they will beat you first and then drag you away!
From now on, Zhao Yunrang took advantage of his son's relationship to privately mobilize the Datou Qiuba from the Inspection Department to act as security guards for him. Thinking about it, it's normal. They all belong to his own family. If he doesn't keep an eye on him, why should he keep vigil at other people's houses? With these living kings of hell acting as vanguards, the gangsters on the street dare not come up with the idea of attacking the Forbidden City. They always take a detour when they meet, for fear of being reported to the inspection department and chased into the city. They will bring you back and beat you severely.
Everyone is overthinking this. The reason why the security in the Forbidden City is so good is not because Zhao Yunrang gave instructions from behind, but because Zhao Zhen came to this building to watch the show every once in a while. The magistrate had to clear the way when he was out on patrol, not to mention his emperor Bailong Yufu. From the guards in front of the palace under Xia Shouen's charge to the inspection department below, no one dared to take a breath. If something went wrong, it would be a serious crime for Zhulian!
Jin Yao made a blessing, took out a golden bell from his arms with a smile on his face, and shook the golden bell. Behind him, there was a row of maids in gorgeous clothes in an orderly manner. They were all well-trained and dignified. The cheongsam with high slits and green robe without makeup has a beautiful face. She is holding a red sandalwood tray in her hand, with a small box of rosewood on it, and a pipe with rosewood inlaid with a jade tip. The officials present provide one-on-one service. This scene was all taught to Sun Houpu by Liang Chuan!
The cheongsam was the only one in the Song Dynasty that was a thousand years ahead of its time. Sun Houpu made great efforts to find a large number of beautiful girls to match this costume. Once they appeared on the stage, their skin as white as snow was instantly captivating. The eyeballs of these scholar-bureaucrats, the looming private parts, the bold and bold yet luxurious and cliché cheongsam have the style of the former Tang Dynasty, and they have earned a lot of popularity!
Jin Yao gave another salute and said: "Today, the adults gather in the Forbidden City with great hospitality. My master tells you to just have fun. Our master will pay for the guests today and enjoy them with fine wines, fine wines, cigarettes and delicacies."
Yan Shu's eyes lit up, he was going to spend a lot of money today, and his spending in the Forbidden City was obvious to all, otherwise people wouldn't be able to see his sincerity. He didn't expect that Sun Houpu was so righteous, no wonder he enjoyed so much in Bianjing City!
"Dr. Sun is so courageous. Yan would like to thank Dr. Sun. Miss Jin is done with your work!"
"It is our employer's ambition to do our best for you, the pillars of the Song Dynasty. It is a great honor for you to come to my humble home. Your modest contribution is our employer's sincerity!"
Jia Chaochang naturally knew how much of a favor this was, and he couldn't afford to spend more than ten thousand yuan on this event today. What this saves is not money, but a sign and face. Sun Houpu, a foreign businessman, knows the rules so well, and they, the officials, like it the most.
"Doctor Yan, there is no need to refuse. This is also the wish of the Sun Dong family."
Liang Chuan's eyelids twitched. This big business was just gone. He was just happy to please these people. .
There is a rule for smoking in the Forbidden City. You can choose to have a pipe or not. If you want it, you just have to pay. Today, I am going to give everyone a pipe as a gift. .
Jia Chaochang was the first to take the pipe handed over by the maid. The cigarette holder was green and made of fine jade, and it exuded a faint woody fragrance. At first glance, it was not made by the Fan family.
The maid opened the small wooden box, which contained shredded tobacco that had been dried into silk. She picked up a small twist and put it into Jia Chaochang's pipe. Then she opened the fire stick and simmered it over the simmering fire. Jia Chaochang took a gentle puff and a soft smoke blew out. The air enters his trachea and rubs his respiratory tract like a girl's hand. It feels indescribably comfortable!
"Hoo~" A long wisp of green smoke came out from Jia Chaochang's mouth, and he looked at Xia Song. This thing is only available in Bianjing. I'm afraid Xia Song has never tried it: "Master Xia has lived in the bitter cold outside the Great Wall for a long time. Now, now It’s freezing cold again, why don’t you take a bite to drive away the coldness in your body?”
Xia Song glanced at Jia Chaochang with a look of disdain, took the pipe, leaned on the back of the chair, and smoked the tobacco, as proficient as Jia Chaochang.
Everyone was surprised. Xia Song has been in the northwest for a long time. Is there tobacco in the northwest?
Not only Xia Song, but also Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi liked this.
After Ouyang Xiu tasted the taste of tobacco, he sent a bag to Fan Zhongyan who was far away in the northwest. This stuff is the holy medicine for people with high stress. People nowadays don't know the dangers of smoking at all. They only know that this stuff is good when smoked. Strong, loose and fast! Fan Zhongyan choked on the first sip, and then became completely obsessed with it. Every time he took a sip at a military meeting or whenever he had troubles, he immediately felt alive and energetic. Han Qi also became obsessed with this thing after inhaling enough second-hand smoke. Seeing that they were enjoying themselves, Xia Song sent people to Bianjing City to inquire about it. In this way, tobacco spread all the way to the Western Army, and only high-level officials could afford this new type of 'big smoke'.
Xia Song said: "I just know that the people in the Western Army like the smell of this smoke. It turns out that it is also popular in Bianjing City. You don't have to be cautious and try it together!"
A group of old men started to smoke in this confined space. They were all puffing away from ear to ear. The only one, Liang Chuan, covered his nose. The room was full of second-hand smoke, which made him choke to tears. Flow all over face.
Seeing this, Xia Song gloated: "Isn't it true that Sanlang has never smoked?"
Liang Chuan greeted Xia Song in his heart and said: Smoking is harmful to health. Your life span is not as long as that of modern people. Now that you smoke like this, you will be a ghost if you live longer.
However, he did not dare to talk nonsense and could only say: "I am not good at this."
Xia Song blew out a puff of smoke and said, "That's a pity. A puff of cigarette after a meal will make you feel like a god. Missing this good thing is a great regret in life!"
Yan Shu was deeply impressed by Liang Chuan. His song "Linjiang Immortal" was the best in Beijing. People like them, who were known as the pioneers of the poetry world, were willing to bow down. But how did he get together with Xia Song?
"Master Xia, who is this...?" Yan Shu was afraid that he had recognized the wrong person, so he asked pretending not to know.
"Sanlang, why don't you introduce yourself?"
Liang Chuan coughed and smiled dryly at Yan Shu: "Master Yan, noble people often forget things. At the farewell banquet of Master Lu Yijian, I remember that you composed a poem. Your master's glory is still the same, but Xiao Ke is now a prisoner."
Liang Chuan laughed at himself about his identity. Yan Shu was talking and laughing in front of him, as if he was not an important person. Everyone was shocked when they heard Liang Chuan's tone. He was not so arrogant when he followed Ding Wei. Why did he change his family now? His tone is so strong, could it be that he is coming back with resentment in his heart?
Yan Shu choked for a moment. He didn't know what to say. What he didn't expect was that this boy's status was different now, and his tone became more cunning. However, he finally confirmed one thing. This boy was the famous Dongjingshi back then. The little guy——Liang Chuan!
