Chapter 16 Teahouse Listening to Gossip

Early in the morning, Wang Pianxing rushed out of Kaifeng Mansion. Although he knew that there were still people following him secretly, he wanted to tell Yuexia the news.

To the east of the State Bridge, along the Bian River to the southeast, to the inside and outside of the East Water Gate, there are dozens of inn stores of all kinds, large and small.

It's a worry to go to the king from door to door, not to mention that there are people following him. I simply reached the east of the royal sister of Nanmen Street and walked slowly along the street. Wang wanted to hide the crowded place instead. He knew that if Liang Yuexia was nearby, he would come to him.

He thought that he could see Renzong tomorrow. Everyone was in a good mood, so he didn't stare at passers-by a few days ago. So I relaxed and enjoyed the Kyoto market more than 900 years ago. There are many restaurants, tea shops, tiles, brothels, and various shops around here, and there are also many pedestrians.

There are many hotels in front of you, and the front of the hotel is luxurious and gorgeous. There are hundreds of singers and prostitutes in the corridor upstairs of the hotel, either attracting guests or waiting for guests to call. In front of the hotel, there are wooden paza colorful buildings, with all kinds of decorations, and vermilion and green paintings, which are called "Huanmen". There are red fences on both sides of the gate, vertical store nameplates, and golden red gauze gardenia lamps hanging. The hotel is decorated with celebrity calligraphy and paintings, and four-hour flowers are placed in front of the door. The decoration is very beautiful. Hotels will hang wine curtains, also known as wine flags, with a large word "wine" on the book, and high in front of the door with a bamboo pole.

The teahouses on the street are even more magnificent, either a famous painting, or a four-hour flower, or a clever bonsai to attract customers. Dr. Tea, the tea shop greets the guests who come and go. There are prostitutes and singers in the tea shop, some are artists singing books, and some tea restaurants hold chess games. Between the indirect restaurants and tea shops are all kinds of shop businesses: fragrant medicine shop, silk shop, gold and silver colored silk, children's medicine shop herring fish market, Wan surname trading, fragrant soup bathroom. There are also those who sell along the street and set up stalls on the street. The street market is very lively

While walking beside the king, he stopped in front of a clay figurine stall. Although the clay figurine on the stall was small, it was delicate and vivid, standing and lying down. The texture of the clothing pattern is reflected in the shaping. Wang liked it, so he bought two and put them in his arms. He planned to give one to Yuan Ze, and the other one to her when he saw Yuexia.

After a circle of people, they didn't see the moon, and they were a little thirsty, so they found a tea shop to find a place to sit in the second-floor corridor, intending to drink tea and rest while watching the people on the street walk. Dr. Cha greeted the king and was busy greeting the other tables.

Several people on the table next to them are gossiping happily. Originally, Wang Bing didn't pay attention to it, but when he happened to hear about Su Shi, Wang Bing couldn't help but be deaf.

I heard Cha Kejia say, "This Su Jinshi, but today, there are naturally many people in high school who are willing to climb high."

Cha Keyi said, "How do you know that this is not a high climb. There are witnesses here. And it's Lord Ouyang Xiu. Others hurriedly said, "Brother, come and listen."

Tea guest B continued: "It is said that Su Xun is young and plays everywhere. Occasionally, I go to a place to see a girl from a family. Coincidentally, Lord Ouyang was also present, so I asked Lord Ouyang to witness the family of his children. Later, the family lost contact, and the matter was over in the past. Unexpectedly, in the past few days, the girl's family came to the door. Coincidentally, Su Shi has already formed a family, and the matchmaker is still Lord Ouyang"

Cha Kejia received: "What's the difficulty? Isn't there an unmarried second son in the Su family?"

B said, "It's not difficult, but the girl said that she didn't blame the Su family, but she blamed Lord Ouyang Xiu, and it would be really a good thing to marry the second son. It's a pity. What a pity"

Everyone asked: What's a pity

The man said, "It's a pity that this girl didn't marry anyone. She just came to confirm the Su family's repentance of marriage, and Lord Ouyang messed up the mandarin duck shop. It seems that it's not a matter of silver to declare that the two families owe the girl a personal favor and ask them to pay them back.

Cha Kejia said, "You are the sage of the Su family. Why don't you know what kind of kindness this girl wants?"

B said, "The girl said that if there is something to ask for in the future, she will definitely not make it difficult for others, and it is not a matter of adultery. It has nothing to do with silver. The two families will know in the future.

The tea guest B actually sighed: "Don't mention that Su Shi was moved when he saw this girl, even if others saw it, he was really handsome."

The rest of the people asked, "Does the sourman know which girl this is?"

Tea Guest B: "I don't know, I only know the surname Liang."

After saying that, he whispered, "Do you know that the eldest son was really moved? He sent someone to invite the girl to the house early in the morning. But the shopkeeper in the girl's store said that the girl had paid for the store and left.

The more the king listened, the more he felt like what Liang Yuexia had done. Hearing this, he was a little anxious. He got up and left the tea shop. He still followed yesterday's route, passed through Wang Anshi Mansion to get rid of his plainclothes and went straight to the pagoda. He looked for a lot of circles but did not see Liang Yue, and returned to the house dejectedly.

I'm going to go to the palace to see Renzong tomorrow. This night, the king suffered from insomnia again. He wondered. Could it be that those people really said Liang Yuexia? Did she really leave? Could it be her...

On the Double Ninth Festival on September 9th, people thought that this was a fierce day, and people would encounter all kinds of disasters, so they had to travel to the top in autumn to avoid disasters, and to insert dog��t and drink ** wine to drive away disasters. **Also known as Yanshouke, on the day of the Double Ninth Festival, from the court to the people, they all had to enjoy chrysanthemums, drink chrysanthemums, hairpin chrysanthemums, mingled chrysanthemums, and lit chrysanthemum lanterns to eat ** cakes. The palace held a chrysanthemum appreciation banquet, and the two brothers followed their father Wang Anshi to the palace to the banquet.

It was not the first time for the king to enter the palace of Kaifeng Mansion. He didn't know whether he should use the phrase "he has been here for a long time" or the phrase "he has been here more than 900 years later" is more appropriate.

The chrysanthemum appreciation banquet is held in the Cuiwei Hall. In the north of the Huining Hall, there is a hill made of stones. There is a hall and two pavilions on the mountain, named Cuiwei Hall, Yungui Pavilion, and there is a lake expanded by a spring by the pavilion. The lake is used as an embankment to connect the pavilion, and a sorghum is erected on the embankment into the lake. On the sorghum, the sorghum is set up with a Maoting gate, a Hezhuang gate, Luyan grid, Kongcui grid. The whole hall is full of all kinds of **, competing for beauty.

Before the banquet began, Wang was like seeing a big salon, some enjoying chrysanthemums, some reciting poems, some painting, and some chatting. The princes and nobles and the princes of the ministers also gathered together. The king didn't want to appreciate **. There were two things in his mind, one was about the moon, and the other was to meet Emperor Renzong. What did the emperor look like?

What will happen to the king at the palace** banquet? On the second day, the two brothers next to Wang came to the imperial city with Wang Anshi. As soon as they entered the royal garden, Wang Anshi was stopped by his colleagues and accompanied by Yuan Ze. Wang Bian told Wang Anshi that he wanted to find his adoptive father and Lord Di. Wang Anshi told him not to run around. While admiring the flowers in the garden, Wang Bian looked for Di Qing's figure.

Every place in the garden and the front and back of the hall are full of all kinds of **, white and yellow flower chrysanthemum; pink flower peach blossom chrysanthemum; white petals, sandalwood chrysanthemum; pure white flowers, flower huge happy chrysanthemum; yellow and round golden bell chrysanthemum; white and big, yellow heart yellow gold A silver chrysanthemum. The fragrance of flowers came from around me, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

When he walked to the front of the hall, the king took a look at the hall. Yiluansi had already placed the emperor's dragon bed directly above the hall. It is also necessary to arrange the seats of the ministers attending the banquet by grade. Leave a few feet of space in the hall. Then there is a large table with a high seat, and between the big table and the hall door is a low table and a low seat.

Those who came to the chrysanthemum viewing banquet were all close ministers around the emperor. There were about ten or twenty people in the court. The king estimated in his heart that the officials should be sitting at a table, and the same juniors were the same as him. Look at the low table and see it clearly. All kinds of fruits and cakes have been arranged on it. What lychee paste, broad mustard melon, apricot slices, plum ginger, fragrant candy lychee, Yuemei, Lidao perilla paste, Jinsidang plum, Xiangyayuan, etc. Just looking at these kings, I already felt an eye-opener. I thought that when the banquet was held, I would definitely taste the royal banquet of 900 years ago, which was not in vain.

Walking through the main hall, Di Qing was sitting alone by the Yungui Pavilion and looking at the quiet lake. Wang approached Di Qing and asked gently, "Does Lord Di miss his family?"

After saying this, he saw that Di Qing sighed gently and turned his head to look at the king's side, so he asked, "How have you been practicing riding and shooting recently?"

"I don't know why, when the master is here, the child practices well, and when the master is away, he feels weak." Wang Zong replied that now he didn't know whether Di Qing had been infected by the mother and daughter to see through people's thoughts.

Di Qing was very calm: "It's normal. When I'm here, you want to practice for me. Naturally, it's fine. When you feel that you have practiced for yourself, it's the same whether I'm here or not.

Wang said in a low voice. Di Qing looked at Wang again and said to himself, "She is old enough to get married, and she doesn't know what kind of family she has chosen."

Wang Pang followed the words and asked, "Your daughter? Where is it now? I haven't heard you mention it.

Di Qing arrived: "Men's khans serve the country's war, how can they care about them? They are separated, alas, it's also my fault"

"Then how can I not look for them?" Wang asked again

"I looked for it, but I didn't find it. I said, you boy, why are you suddenly such a mother-in-law?" Di Qing patted the king on the shoulder and said with a smile.

The king just wanted to talk about the matter under the moon, and an eunuch came out and said that the emperor and queen had arrived, and the ministers hurried to line up to welcome the saint. The king secretly watched. Renzong and the queen came out. After sitting on the throne dragon bed, Renzong said something about peace and prosperity and universal celebration, and invited everyone to sit down and announced the beginning of the banquet.

First of all, the imperial wine is given. Not far behind each person, there is a maid of honor responsible for brewing wine. Before entering the palace, the king heard that the wine in the court was carefully brewed by the winemakers from the hometown of famous wine from all over the world. And only when you pour the third cup of wine will the dishes and snacks for the wine will be served.
