Chapter 52: The Best Hospitality While Peng Li and Huang Yuanshou were discussing whether the brush in their hands was a small wolf or a big wolf, Su Shi was feasting in the soup and cake shop next door.
"Brother Peng, the pen has Feng Fox, Cockroach, Dragon Tendon, Tiger Servant and Orangutan Hair, Wolf Hao, how can there be a big wolf and a small wolf?"
Peng Li lightly tapped his nails with the tip of his pen and said with a smile: "Brother Huang's words are wrong, the wolf's strength is between sheep and purple hair.
The quality is brittle and not resistant to friction.
The south is full of wolf hair, the best one uses the wolf tail, and the whole hair is opened with water, which is the most appropriate; The north pen is made of wolf hair, the middle is really mane, covered with rabbit hair, the whole pen is transparent, and the practicality is slightly poor.
However, this wolf pen is called the little wolf hair, so the wolf hair is taken from the weasel's tail.
Now the pen in my hand is the tail hair of the gray wolf of the Tianshan Mountains, which is naturally called the big wolf's hair.
The pen is very hard, not resistant to ink, and the words written are skinny and strong, which is rare. ” Huang Yuanshou arched his hand and said: "Brother Peng is well-read and strong, and the foolish brother admires, but you and I are now in prison, and we should be living in seclusion, why do you have the heart to discuss these elegant things here?"
” Peng Li smiled, paid with silver coins, walked out of the Sibao store with a pencil case, pointed to the bustling crowd on the street, and said: "When the years were round, the old man also used to wander around the downtown with his friends, how is the situation today different from last year?"
This is 10,000 miles to Xiguan, and no one is worried about the vast sea!
” Huang Yuanshou said with a smile: "Foolish brother also feels this way, before coming to Hami, the old man once said to the old wife, this is thousands of miles away, I am afraid that I will be buried in the wilderness, I have asked her to prepare a mound for me, and leave a strand of hair, the old wife heard the words and howled, thinking about it today, it is really funny." ” Peng Li laughed and said: "The same, the same, it's all the same, now I'm waiting for my mind to be determined, since there is no worry about turbulence, it is better to use this place as a place for eunuchs, and then return to the Great Song Dynasty after three years, don't you have to worry about going up and down, wouldn't it be happy!"
” Huang Yuanshou laughed along, took Peng Li's hand and said with a smile: "Hurry up, go quickly, the Queen Mother and the eldest princess have already prepared a dinner in Yuntang, we must not be rude, so as not to be laughed at by the people of the Western Regions." ” Peng Li laughed and said: "What are the people of the Western Regions, Brother Huang opened his eyes and took a closer look, whether it was the place where the clothes were sewn just now, or the place where he passed by just now, the shopkeeper spoke a clever Song dialect, and even the Song dialect of the leather craftsman in the Western Regions, the old man could understand it."
How is this kind of place different from my Great Song Chengguan?
You see that place called Xinghualou, it must be a romantic place, and when I wait for the day of rest, I will definitely investigate with Brother Huang, and compete with the high-rollers in the Western Regions to see if the sister here is Xiwu or Aiwen!
” "Hahaha, hahaha......
Okay, well, since Brother Peng is a young man, how can the foolish brother not follow closely!
” The two summoned Su Shi, who was full of food and drink, and walked together along the bluestone paved street towards the city.
The whole body was bathed in the noise of the shopkeepers, and the three of them felt extremely comfortable.
The street gradually became quieter, but the flow of people did not decrease much, but the fragrant wood on both sides of the road suddenly increased, and the roar of the waterfall could be heard in the distance.
Walking through the one-person-high fragrant wood wall, a white and bright waterfall hangs on the small cliff in front, and the water smashes down into a deep pool, causing rolling white waves.
The mist hit, and the heat dissipated suddenly.
The servant who led the way bowed down and said: "This is the City Lord's Mansion Square, it is the best place to cool off in summer, you see, even at night, the flow of people here is still endless, and it is a good place for me to go in Qingxiang City."
When the sky is completely dark, the air death wind lamps on the square will be lit, and if the ministers are not tolerant of the heat, it is also good to come here at night to read books and listen to the slang songs of the Western Regions.
Especially the dancers from Qiuzi always come out to dance in the middle of the moon, but the ministers must prepare red copper coins as rewards. ” Su Shi, a foreign-race beauty who was full of food and drink, was in good spirits, and hurriedly asked: "Qiuzi is singing and dancing in the world, there are also here?"
” The servant who led the way said proudly: "In the Western Regions, when it comes to prosperity, where is it comparable to my Qingxiang City?"
Why don't those dancing girls come to my fragrance city?
Hmph, even if they want to come in, they must bathe and change their clothes outside the city to make sure that there are no lice on their bodies and no diseases in their bodies before they can come in!
” Huang Yuanshou was very interested in the elegant servant in front of him, and hurriedly asked, "This little brother has a good conversation, but has he read books?"
” The servant smiled: "There has never been a person in my Weichi clan who does not read!"
” Peng Li was shocked: "Oh, there is a royal family in front of me, disrespectful, disrespectful!"
” The servant also saluted: "My Weichi clan was rescued by the king for thousands of miles to survive, and the whole family recited the king's grace of life, and has forgotten that he was once a royal family."
The royal family said that it should not be mentioned, now, I just want to live happily under the wings of the king, and look forward to serving the king after the clan grows and grows!
” Huang Yuanshou couldn't understand this son of the Weichi royal family at all, from the high-ranking royal family in the past, to the lowly servants now, they didn't have the slightest unwillingness, this is too incomprehensible.
Being able to participate in serving Wang Rouhua, the queen mother, it seems that Tie Xinyuan trusts them very much, which is also something that Huang Yuanshou can't understand.
Unable to think of a reason for this, he walked forward after the servants.
The sky gradually darkened, and an old man carrying a wooden pole came from the darkness, and the wooden pole in his hand was very strange, one end was actually burning, and there was an iron hook at the top of the pole, and I don't know what it was for.
Peng Li stopped, only to see the old man, put the pole into the cowhide lanterns hanging high on both sides of the road, the hook pushed forward slightly, the lid of the cowhide lantern was lifted, the old man turned the pole slightly, and the lantern immediately became bright.
The old man retracted the hook, and the lid of the cowhide lantern closed automatically, and then the old man walked to the next cowhide lantern.
Peng Li saw that the cowhide lanterns on the entire street were lit one by one, and the dim road immediately became bright, until this moment, he knew that this old man was in charge of roadside lanterns, there should be many such people, and the lanterns in front of him had also been lit up in turn.
The servant did not explain to the three men, and in his opinion there was no need to explain this matter, these old men were all old and weak people in the city who had not been able to eat before, and they were in charge of the long street, not only to sprinkle and sweep every day, but also to manage the lighting and extinguishing of the lanterns on the roadside.
"How much oil do these lanterns consume every day?"
Huang Yuanshou couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly.
Su Shi was intoxicated by the beautiful scenery of the waterfall under the light, two strings of lanterns hung on the edge of the waterfall, under the light, those splashing water droplets like jade, such as glass, like pearls falling on the jade plate.
"I want to write a poem......"
"Let's go, if you don't go to Yuntang, it's really rude."

Without saying a word, Peng Li dragged Su Shi, who was extremely reluctant to leave, strode forward.
Generally speaking, this valley is gradually increasing, the cloud hall is at the height of the valley, the clouds and mist of the Tianshan Mountains sometimes fall, shrouded in this hillside, Wang Rouhua likes this place, so let the water, the fire, they led people to build a hall here, although it is not luxurious, the golden silk grass covers the roof, the pine wood is the column, and the glazed doors and windows are extremely elegant.
Su Shi glanced at it and shouted that he was going to compose a poem again, Peng Li saw that other Great Song officials were already sitting in the hall, so he didn't give him this opportunity, and directly dragged him into the cloud hall.
Wang Rouhua sat on the main seat, Ouyang Xiu had already changed his clothes, and sat in the position of the guest of honor with a square hat, seeing that Peng Li and the three of them were late, they couldn't help frowning slightly.
Wang Rouhua invited the three of them to sit down, and said to Ouyang Xiu: "The wilderness of the border, there is nothing to wait for the guests, I would like to take a glass of thin wine, Mr.
Xie has worked tirelessly to help me Hami Qingxiang Country, drink very much!"
” Ouyang Xiu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I thought that when the Hami Qingxiang Country was founded, we would have to suffer a lot of suffering, but I didn't expect that the Qingxiang City would be prosperous in Xijing, and I waited for the arrival, but it was a beautiful difference, and the old man thanked the Queen Mother for giving wine!"
Everyone, drink well!
” Everyone agreed with a bang, and after toasting to thank the Queen Mother, they drank it all.
Zhao Wan saw the full hall of guests, she couldn't help but feel excited, these days she has followed Wang Rouhua to have a very in-depth understanding of the strength of Qingxiang Valley, and has a deep impression of the warriors of Qingxiang Valley and the group of mercenaries, and now when she sees this full hall of civil officials, she can't help but pick up her glass and say: "You are all talented people of my Great Song Dynasty, although there are flaws, I will not hide Yu, this palace wishes you gentlemen, you can show your ambitions in Hami Qingxiang Country, drink very much!"
” The eldest princess toasted naturally from this, three glasses of wine in her stomach, and one after another extremely sumptuous delicacies were served by the delicate maiden of the Western Regions, and at the same time, two fairy-like black-haired beauties were already dancing in the middle of the cloud hall.
Wine is good wine, food is good food, and beauties are naturally beautiful, even those musicians from the Western Regions who play music under the cloud hall are also top-notch.
Ouyang Xiu didn't have much enjoyment in his heart, he suddenly felt that this wine, this dish, this beauty, this song and dance, I am afraid that he would need to pay countless hard work to return it.
Without him, just Wang Rouhua's eyes as a businessman looking at him as if he were seeing goods were enough to make him feel worried.
There are only more than 100,000 people in Qingxiang Valley, so can the rest of the millions of people in Hami Qingxiang Country also live so happily?
Ouyang Xiu felt that this was impossible, his ass could no longer sit on the brocade couch under him, and he just wanted to return to his official residence in the City Lord's Mansion as soon as possible to see the documents sent by the Qingxiang Gu Xu officials.
The more hospitable the hospitality, the more you use your own people in the future, I am afraid that it will not even be as good as a big animal.
Ouyang Xiu saw that the people he brought were enjoying this moment drunkly, forcibly calmed himself down, and raised his hand to slap the head of Su Shi, who was shouting!
