Chapter 40
Fang Xiang knows my name
The closer the New Year is, the colder the weather in Chang'an becomes.
However, Chang'an has been much more lively recently than in previous years. Many people took to the streets to buy two more down jackets, trying their best to be more guys and earn Tongbao.
Small vendors also wear down jackets and walk around the streets, making the market much more active.
Recently, officials have started to ride horses in down jackets. It is said that there is a kind of cotton jacket specially supplied to the military, which is even warmer, but that thing is hard to find, and only the military has the opportunity to contact.
Of course, at this time, Xiao Xiaoyue, who is known as the boy who spends money, naturally became a good friend and good partner in everyone's mind.
Zuixianlou is known as the number one restaurant in Chang'an, and many wealthy guests like to play here.
Moreover, since the price of charcoal has been reduced, the shopkeeper has been even more willing to take some charcoal, giving people a feeling of spring all year round.
"Brother Xiao, I'll give you a cup. Your cotton coat really saved my father's life.
You know, my father suffered a lot of injuries in his early years. What he feared the most was the cold winter. Your cotton coat not only kept warm, but also felt much more comfortable than leather. My father told me several times that he wanted to see you."
A slender and handsome young man raised his wine glass, looked up at the fat Xiao Xiaoyue with a look of respect.
"Huaiyu, are you still talking nonsense to Yueyue?
Whether it is horse racing or fights on Zhuque Street, you are bound to help you.”
The one who spoke was the son of the Cheng family, Cheng Chumo.
He is known as the unparalleled iron cow, eight feet tall and like a copper bell, and is a first-class man.
Regardless of the warm spring-like environment outside, he was covered with Qianniu Wei's cotton jacket. It is said that there is wire mesh inside and can be made of armor. He likes tightness and even when he sleeps, he has to wear it.
He didn't know if he was beaten to death. In the future, the cotton jacket he was wearing was also called "Mandarin duck armor", also known as the Big Red Fat Jacket."
These two are all wine and meat friends that Xiao Xiaoyue used money to make.
Some people can be like Kaizi when they meet because they have money in their pockets.
Some people become brothers after a few times of meeting because they always have money in their pockets.
This is how Xiao Xiaoyue is. Xiao Xiaoyue’s tyranny is famous in Chang'an.
Even if he spent thousands of guan in the blink of an eye, he was thrown on the road by the brothel's turtle man with his bare butt, the next day, this guy could walk in the market with a huge waist.
This made the family very strict in control and the second generation of honor who always had two bronze coins in their pockets enviously.
Of course, our Young Master Xiao has the conditions to choose brothers.
Don't like to show off too much.
Don't be too weak.
Now the three people are known as the three young heroes of Chang'an.
"The Luo family has some relatives with my family, but my aunt doesn't want to see my father, so my father can only help in secret. I don't know why my cousin is so powerful."
This is not Qin Huaiyu's kiss, he occasionally said it once or twice when his father was secretly drunk.
"What do you do if you care about so much?
Brother Yunsheng is now a county man, and he is much more promising than us."
Xiao Xiaoyue said.
"I really have a lot of promise. My father gave birth to a good baby because of envying Luo Tiechui and beat our brothers more than a dozen times. He said he regretted not hitting us on the wall back then."
Cheng Chumo said with an unhappy look: "Yue Yue, Brother Yunsheng doesn't want to come to Chang'an. It's okay for us to go to him to drink another day. Please make arrangements."
Xiao Xiaoyue agreed with a smile on the surface, but suddenly felt alert in her heart, "These damn Cheng family members are all ghosts. Do they like my brother's money tree?"
Cheng Yaojin showed a silly smile, but he looked very despised in his heart, "Why is the Xiao family so delicate? You can see my plan at a glance."
Qin Huaiyu looked at the hypocritical smiles of the two brothers and suddenly felt that life was always less meaningful, "Why are the three heroes of Chang'an inexplicably not strong?
Is it because of money?”
"No, didn't we come together because of money?"
...
Fang Mansion.
Fang Qiao and Fang Xuanling sat in the first place.
The two children in the family, Fang Yizhi and Fang Yiai, are reviewing the book.
Fang Xuanling's attitude is that although I cannot determine your virtue, I can monitor your studies.
This is the habit of the beauty of the house. No matter how busy the work is, we must urge the younger generation to study.
"Dad, can you get a cotton jacket with your son?"
As the second son, Fang Yiai always gets more love from his parents, so he is also more lively.
“Is the down jacket not warm enough?”
Although Fang Xuanling loves his youngest son, he is always serious, and of course he is limited to his family.
"No, my friends are proud of having a cotton jacket recently. Because they are thin, they cannot get into the circle of Xiao Xiaoyue and the others."
Fang Yiai is in a bad mood.
This is a bit like a noble school in later generations. When everyone wears AJs and you don’t have one, you always feel unconsciously inferior.
Fang Yizhi is a typical scholar. Before his father could speak, he scolded: "Brother, you have a wrong idea. The down jacket is already very warm. It doesn't make sense to pursue the cotton jacket of Angzu."
Fang Yiai said: "I don't know if it makes sense. I just know that without cotton clothes, my friends are all alienated from me.
Even if my down jacket is a nobleman’s style.”
Fang Yi said straight: "What's the matter?
The Wei Zheng family couldn't afford even Caomin's money for 500 yuan.
When Wei Zheng sprayed manure, he was still full of fire. Brother, as scholars, we should take loyalty to the emperor and serve the country as our mission, and should not always think about these external things."
Fang Xuanling has no big idea of which is better, cotton jacket or down jacket, and he is unwilling to argue with the children about these things.
Instead, he asked: "Have you followed this man in Jingyang County?"
Fang Yiai said: "The child knows a little, but he only knows that he is quite mysterious and will never go to Chang'an in the future.
His Majesty awarded him a man in Jingyang County for his military merits, and many young heroes in Chang'an admired him quite much."
Fang Yizhi also said: "The child has also heard some stories about him before. He had bought chickens, ducks and geese in the past few months, and did not hesitate to mortgage the shares of the industry for this purpose, mocking the Chang'an family. Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he slapped everyone. Even His Majesty was willing to promote him. I heard that the royal version of down jackets were sold in Jiangnan. "
Fang Xuanling paid the most attention to Luo Yunsheng. He said to his two sons: "This son had actually been in the first half of the year. Even at that time, His Majesty wanted to be appointed as an official, but he refused.
