Chapter One Hundred and Eighty-Ninth Life, you really can't talk about it casually!

Chapter 189: Life is really something that cannot be discussed casually!

Zhang Liang came in with Wei Yu's post. Tang Cheng put the poem book in his hand and stood up from the ground. After taking the post of Nijin Xiangxiang carefully, he smiled and said, "You guy is right. Seeing that the appointment was so urgent, Brother Wei really cares about Liang Panpan very much."

"Yes, 'just ride'. Look at the words on the post, you can't wait for a moment!" Zhang Liang smiled and asked with his hands in his hand: "The Changsui, the post sender, was waiting outside. I have to leave now. Tang Cheng, see, what is the regulations for going here?"

"What else can I have? Erwei is so popular now. If you don't give me this face, you have to give me the face. Otherwise, if Erwei is forced to be impulsive and stabbed him to the prime minister, the third prince will have to follow him." Speaking of which, the hard Hu bench without a backrest is really not as comfortable as she sits on the thick Persian carpet. Tang Cheng said, and he sat down lazily, and he still didn't forget to turn around and leave, adding to Zhang Liang, who was turning around and about to leave, and he said: "Mingzhi, don't forget to invite Erwei brothers to attend tomorrow night's opening ceremony."

When Zhang Liang nodded, he suddenly saw Qizhi standing on the side step forward and said, "Slow down!".

Her shout was really unexpected, and she immediately attracted the eyes of Zhang Liang and Tang Cheng who had stopped.

"How long have you been preparing for this? Why don't you compare? If you don't compare, you won't compare. No!"

Qizhi's "No" was really decisive, and he was stunned by Zhang Liang, and then his face turned dark. Although he didn't come out to be an official, he was a serious scholar like his brother Zhang Feng. What is Qizhi's singing girl? He dares to shout in front of him! If it weren't for pointing at her, she would have to let her know what kind of honor and humbleness are.

Even so, Zhang Liang didn't look good for Qizhi. He snorted coldly with a dark face and then stepped out to go to the appointment.

Although Qizhi had no reason for the attack, Zhang Liang's attitude was not good. Seeing that the business was about to be officially opened tomorrow, this incident happened. Tang Cheng, who had no choice but to shake his head, could only take over the aftermath.

"Er Wei is a member of the current queen, the newly appointed general of the Imperial Guard, a champion general, and a Huaihua general are the hottest figures in Chang'an City at present. With them supporting Liang Panpan, Mingzhi is also the last resort." Tang Cheng's voice was very light, and it was the most pleasing tone. There was no way, who made her the courtesan of Zhenyuanzi. "Besides, it's not a good thing. Although there is less gimmicks for further hype, there is also less risk for you. Liang Panpan can hold the position of courtesan for so many years. Although he is old now, he is not easy to deal with."

"Tang Cheng, do you really think I insist on competing with her for the position of courtesan?" I don't know if it was wronged by Zhang Liang's anger or because Tang Cheng's words disappointed her. Qizhi Liubo Yingying's eyes were now misty. "When encountering a battle to choose brands, who should not do his best? I just want to take a closer look at Liang Panpan's singing and dancing skills. Even if I lose, I can clearly know where I am. One day I will catch up with her and surpass her."

Tang Cheng didn't expect her to say such words. Looking at Qizhi, who was stubborn, Tang Cheng felt a little respectful to her. Obviously, singing and dancing are no longer just means of making a living for Qizhi, but have become her ideals and life sustenance. No matter in any era, people who are obsessed with ideals are respectable. Not to mention that this is the Tang Dynasty. It is even more valuable to be able to be so obsessed with ideals without regard for praise and criticism with Qizhi.

Thinking of this, Tang Cheng felt a little ashamed. The arrangements of the past few days were all done by him. The curtains were set up on the surface to make the name of Qiei and Yazheng Garden famous, but another purpose that was highly hoped for was to lead Liang Panpan to use Qiei. Liang Panpan to lead the Erwei brothers to design these two purposes, he was just driving Qiei according to his own needs. In his opinion, this battle to choose a brand is of little significance, but he never thought that Qiei had such a deep hope on it, and the disappointment brought by this was so deep.

"I understand your thoughts." After truly understanding Qizhi's thoughts, Tang Cheng's comforting words became more sincere out of thin air. "I understand that you want to use Liang Panpan as a mirror to reflect and hone your singing and dancing skills, but the situation is better than others. This time it's really not possible, why not next time..."

At this point, Tang Cheng, who didn't know what to say, pondered for a while, then suddenly raised his head and said, "Next time I will take you to Furong Tower to find Liang Panpan, and I will let her do her best to compete with you."

Hearing this, Qizhi looked at Tang Cheng quietly for a while, "You go."

Damn, this persuasion is really a failure!

Seeing that before Qizhi's breath had subsided, Tang Chengyin thought about letting her stay by herself. Unexpectedly, when he just walked out of the door, a voice of Yixi Yiyi suddenly came from behind him, saying, "Little thief, you must not be as scammered as you did in Yangzhou." As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a "bang" sound, and the door behind him had been closed from inside.

Alas, really, what's the matter!

Not to mention Tang Cheng's affairs, just Zhang Liang followed Wei Qing to Furong Tower, and the three guests and guests met and greeted Liang Panpan's room, very polite.

After the greetings, Liang Panpan, the courtesan of Pingkangfang, personally served the tea. The three of them sat down to talk. It should be said that this was a very constructive dialogue. Based on the principle of mutual understanding, Zhang Liang and Erwei reached a consensus on a cancellation of the card-picking dispute in a friendly atmosphere while fully respecting each other's concerns. After the meeting, Zhang Liang sincerely invited Erwei brothers to attend the opening ceremony of Yazheng Park tomorrow night, while Erwei brothers agreed to Zhang Liang's invitation.

Both sides achieved their goals. After the guests and guests exchanged greetings again, they all parted. When Wei Rui sent Zhang Liang out of Liang Panpan's room, he said casually: "As soon as the curtains at the intersection of Zhuque Road came out, Chang'an caused a sensation. Miss Qizhi had not shown her face and had already become the capital of the imperial capital without saying a word. When Yazhengyuan opened tomorrow, it was expected that the market would be crowded. There were more than 10,000 merchants in Chang'an. How could anyone have become the focus of the city like Yazhengyuan? From now on, it would take no time to talk about the future. Haha, Ming's business skills really make people admire the talent!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Liang's eyes lit up, but he took the opportunity of bowing his head and bowing his hand to thank him, "It's a ridiculous! The general did not dare to be greedy for this credit, so he would not hide it from the two generals. This absurd idea was actually the work of a Shannan scholar who was doing the book for his brother. He was surprised and made the two adults laugh."

Upon hearing this, Wei Qi turned his head and looked at Wei Bo, and walked to the Dianjun of a fifth-rank prince's mansion. It seemed that the Shannan scholar who was dealing with him was really in a down-and-out situation.

When Wei Qi turned his head again, his face became more and more gentle, "What a mistake. If you can think of such an incredible idea, this scholar is a wonderful person. My brother wants to see him and Mingzhi, I will ask you tomorrow night."

"It's easy to say. It's easy to say." Zhang Liang smiled readily and agreed even more simply, "The two adults want to see him. This is really Tang Cheng's fortune, and everything should be as the general wishes."

Seeing Zhang Liang go away, Wei Bo shook his head, "Lao Qi, Zhang Liang agrees too readily, right?"

"The Buman incident has been making trouble in the city for the past few days, and no one is not curious. It is normal for you and my brother to meet people who come up with this idea. Zhang Liang, a merchant and a profit-seeking person, may not have much thought? Fifth brother, think about his master, Prince Xiang, who likes to be troublesome? The more Zhang Liang agrees, the more he is, the better it is. Otherwise, he will not do this." At this point, Wei Xuan smiled and patted Wei Bo on the shoulder and said, "Fifth brother, it's useless to think about this now. At least when he meets the Shannan scholar named Tang Cheng tomorrow, he will talk about it. Maybe he is just a mediocre talent who loses one hundred gains."

"Well, let's talk about it first." As they spoke, the two returned to Liang Panpan's room. After a while, they heard the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras in the room.

This time, the manipulator Tang Chuang had the intention of drunken man, but he was thinking of both wine and mountains and rivers. Now Qizhi is famous in Beijing. Seeing that the word "earth" on Buman tomorrow will change, Yazhengtang's reputation will be expected. At this time, Zhang Liang brought back the news that the Erwei brothers were very interested in him. He has both fish and bear's paws, but there is something better than this?

No matter what the hell is about, at least the purpose of joining the line with Erwei is to be successfully achieved. Listening to the news that Zhang Liang brought back, this is not only a link, but also a second Wei is also very interested in him. In this way, even if Tang Cheng has some initiative in his interactions with the two, as a party with a lower identity, this is really valuable and precious.

With this good news, the thoughts caused by Qizhi's "little thief" that is happy and angered, quickly disappeared. Tang Cheng has been away from home for too long, and Qizhi is a real beauty who has become a charming style with every frown, smile, every move. Adding up these two factors, it is really impossible to say that the thoughts that occasionally arise in the thoughts cannot be said to be abnormal.

He had a good night sleep. When he woke up the next morning, the words on the curtain at the cross street changed again, officially revealing the name of Yazheng Garden, the opening time and address. At the same time, Tang Cheng also started to work hard. After all, he handled the decoration and management regulations in the garden. In the process of preparing tonight's opening, he had to ask him to solve any problem.

The curtains that have stirred up a huge verbal in Chang'an City these days have completely revealed all the mysteries. The whole city was talking loudly about Qiori and Masatsu Garden. Masatsu Garden and Qiori were also doing their best to welcome the crowd tonight. It was in this mutual expectation that time passed little by little and the sky became dark little by little.

As it was dark and the first guest came to the door, Tang Cheng was finally completely relieved. At this time, he had finished everything he should do. Everything from now on should be Zhang Liang's appearance and take the lead.

The only thing was when Li Longji came in a concealed manner, Tang Cheng came to the Youjing Accord that he had specially arranged for him to meet.

Looking at Tang Cheng, who was full of fatigue after a busy day, Li Longji, who stood up, patted Tang Cheng on the shoulder for the first time, "After a exhibition, Yazhengyuan has become famous before it opened. Even the quiet people who are as quiet as my father know this place. After hearing the news from Gao Lishi from the palace, Princess Anle also became interested in encouraging Queen Wei to come out in a miserable manner to see the lively opening of Yazhengyuan. Tang Cheng, you are really a genius, thank you for your hard work!"

"I finally live up to the entrusted by the Third Prince. I'm working harder and worth it." Tang Cheng smiled and frowned and said, "Empress Wei is really coming?"

"Princess Anle is willful and willful. Queen Wei is really making trouble with her?" The situation in Yazhengyuan is so good. Li Longji, as the owner behind the scenes, is naturally happy. After this happiness, she joked about Tang Chenglai, "Princess Anle is married to Wu Sansi's son Wu Chongxun, but she was ambiguous with her husband's cousin Wu Yanxiu just after she got married. Last year, Wu Sansi and his son died, and they were both satisfied. They loved the house and the nun. It was because Wu Yanxiu was good at playing Turkic dances and singing and dancing, so Princess Anle was so interested in Yazhengyuan. But fortunately, she didn't come, otherwise with Anle's romantic and charming temperament, if she really wanted to see Tang Cheng, you are talented and beautiful, it would be hard to have any other thoughts. Ah, haha!"

Tang Cheng also knew that only people close to him would have such jokes. Otherwise, if Li Longji really had a heart for him, he would never tease him with his cousin. But he was tired all day long and he was really not interested in this kind of joke. As soon as Zhang Liang sent someone to find him, Tang Chengsui came out with the opportunity.

Zhang Liang sent his servants to find him, but Erwei had already arrived and wanted Tang Cheng to recognize him first. After all, Erwei did not mention this now. Tang Cheng could not take the initiative to go up and see him.

The grand occasion in Yazheng Garden this night was much more lively than Tang Cheng expected. Not only were the Accord and the seats in the lobby prepared in advance were filled with people, but even the courtyards outside the lobby were crowded. Most of them came uninvited without invitation. Even so, there were also many lively people and idle people who could not even enter the door hurriedly rushing out the Yazheng Garden and refused to disperse. Looking at the new businesses in Chang'an over the past decades, they could be as prosperous as Yazheng Garden. It is truly unprecedented.

Qizhi did not disappoint her reputation as being overwhelming Jiangnan. After she had gained her appetite in the past few days, she was full of charm and charming under the background of Chinese clothing and lighting. As soon as she appeared in great costume, she immediately felt like thunderous sounds. Even Tang Cheng saw the beauty of Qizhi in the eyes of everyone at this moment.

When Tang Cheng turned around and quietly left the lobby when he was born beautiful, he suddenly thought of this.

Such a hot scene, such a beautiful and stunning mess of Qizhi, the guests intoxicated by the guests in the hall. At this point, Tang Cheng had nothing to worry about the opening of Yazheng Garden tonight.

Tang Cheng had already watched too much of the fun in Daya Zhizhengyuan, including the poems and dances that were to be performed later, so he had no interest. Seeing the two Wei brothers looking very excited, he would never talk to him now. Tang Cheng, who was tired, couldn't stand the crowd in the lobby, so he simply came out to have some breath.

There were still many people outside the lobby, so Tang Cheng simply walked further to the back garden. He was getting farther away from the lobby, and the noise behind him became farther and farther. Although it was cold and cold in the deep winter night, Tang Cheng, wearing a moonlight, still enjoyed the quietness and fresh air at the moment, and walked slowly to the door of the back garden.

Just as Tang Cheng was about to enter the back garden, someone in the door stomped his feet and said, "Old Xu, have your house prepared a copper basin to keep ice tonight? Don't forget that you have to eat ice tomorrow, otherwise it will be really not worth it if you go to the ground for a stomachache next year."

Upon hearing the question, another servant guarding the garden also stomped his feet and said, "Who dares to forget this kind of thing? I have already told my family when I went out."

In the customs of the Tang people, there is no saying that Laba porridge is cooked, but eating ice on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month is an indispensable custom. The procedure is simple. One night before Laba, I put it in a clean copper basin with well water and kept it outside for a night to freeze. The next day, the ice on the twelfth day of Laba is broken, and each family eats a few pieces. In the custom, it is believed that the ice on this day has special magical power, and after eating it, you will not have stomachache the next year.

Hearing the discussion inside the door, Tang Cheng's feet, which had just been raised, fell down on the spot without realizing that he was extremely focused after he was busy. He didn't realize that time passed so quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was Laba.

Laba Festival comes, and in another twenty-two days it will be the New Year's Eve.

Whether 1,300 years later or now 1,300 years ago, the New Year is an extremely special day for wanderers living alone. At this moment, the distant home has become so heart-wrenching and heart-wrenching.

Because of these two sentences I heard by chance, the relaxed joy brought by the hot opening of Tang Chengyin Yazhengtang was immediately washed away. I calculated carefully that this year was from Daocheng and Chang'an, and I spent a long time in both places. I spent too little time with my family at home, especially since the second half of the year. I saw that it was the New Year's Eve that should be reunited by thousands of families, and I couldn't go back, and I didn't know how my family members missed me thousands of miles away.

Since I got sick from time to time, especially in the past year, I have really become the backbone of the entire family. I haven't gone back. Can my parents, Ying Wan and Lancao have the intention to have a good New Year?

"Tang Master! It's so late, why... have you arrived here?" When I looked around, the servant Lao Xu and the others saw Tang Cheng standing blankly at the door of the back garden. They immediately stomped their feet and sneered at the sound of gossiping.

Upon hearing this, Tang Cheng waved his hand. "Let's go for a walk, don't worry about me." After saying that, he walked straight into the garden without waiting for Lao Xu and the others to say anything.

Tang Cheng stopped after walking to a viewing pavilion in the garden. Looking at Qingsong, who showed a gentle water light from the moonlight reflected outside the pavilion, fell into his thoughts again.

If you stay at home every day, although you don’t have to bear the pain of separation from your family, you will inevitably feel unwilling to give up; however, if you leave home and travel far to pursue your ideals, you have to endure the thought of a home that is so heart-wrenching. In this way, why can’t you have a way to achieve both worlds?

If I had known this, maybe I would have set off later in my trip to Chang'an. Although I had to leave, I would have stayed at home for a few more days before leaving! Things in the world are often unexpected. Who could have expected that the trip to Chang'an, which was just a natural success, would have added so many variables? Who knew that if I wanted to pass the Jinshi exam and realize my long-cherished wish of being in charge of the country, I had to follow the path of Princess Taiping? Who could have thought that Li Longji, who was called "My Thousand Miles Jones" by Queen Zetian, is now just a pitiful commander?

The worst thing is that before I figured it out, I couldn't wait to jump onto Li Sanlang's chariot according to the history books. Now I really can't get out of it. Because I want to realize the long-cherished wish of the ruler and then develop my ideals, I have to find a way to go through Princess Taiping's door. In order to go through this door, I met Li Longji. Because I saw Li Longji, I immediately saw that he was almost poor and lonely except for his ambition. At this point, whether it was for self-protection, for ideals, or for the prosperous Tang Dynasty in the distance, I had to do my best to help Li Sanlang enhance his strength. So I had this Yazheng Garden tonight. There was also a meeting with the two Wei who had been designed with great effort.

Since I met He Zhizhang in Chang'an, what I encountered has been lost like a wild horse that broke away from reins. Now I am getting deeper and deeper in such a dangerous quagmire. Although I know that the imperial examination will be held in February after the Lantern Festival, when will I go back...

How long will this separation be at the end? Why is it so difficult to pursue an ideal that is far from too high? Why do things in the world always have a lot of erratic details and cannot be as good as others wish? Why can't you be a powerful person for two lifetimes? Every time you move forward, you have to step out step by step?

Damn, God, if you have to hold the world in your hands like this to feel good and reach orgasm, then come on, I’m not afraid of you!

Just as Tang Cheng asked the world in angrily, a crisp voice rang outside the pavilion: "Tang Cheng, what are you thinking? Are you holding your hands so tightly?"

Tang Cheng turned his head and looked at him, and saw Qizhi standing under the pavilion with a smile. She didn't even change the costumes dedicated to performing on her body. At this time, she was slightly tilting her head and staring at his hand that was clenched into a fist.

Under the faint moonlight, the beautiful Qizhi, which was standing in full bloom, was full of grace; the moonlight flowed through her gorgeous clothes covered with golden beads like water. Because the light reflected by the gorgeous clothes was not strong, the light reflected by the gorgeous clothes was gone, and the light that was just shining under the glorious light of the lobby appeared, presenting a light as soft as fog. In such soft light, Qizhi's natural charm also seemed to be washed away and turned into another simpler, but more approachable beauty.

At this moment, Qizhi was still beautiful under the moonlight, but it was no longer so short, but it was more intimate as a girl next door.

Tang Chengyu quietly relaxed his fists that he had clenched inadvertently, "Why are you here?"

"You forgot what you said yourself? Since you are a courtesan, you can't see too much. The more you do this, the more you miss it?" As he said, Qizhi, who gently held the skirt, walked into the pavilion and stood side by side with Tang Cheng. "My poems and soft dances have been performed. I originally thought of asking you how I performed tonight, but seeing that you are so afraid that you haven't even finished listening to poems, so there is no need to ask anymore."

Upon hearing this, Tang Cheng smiled and said nothing.

After a moment, Qizhifu said again: "Tang Cheng, what were you thinking just now?"

"Tomorrow is Laba, I'm thinking of my family."

"Oh! What's your home like?".

"My family is so ordinary, and their parents are ordinary farmers..." For some reason, Tang Cheng, who had always disliked talking about personal affairs with others the most, had an unstoppable desire to talk tonight, so that Qizhi only chose to speak out, and he continued to talk about his parents, his serious illness, and his old things that his parents almost sold to cure him. After he recovered from the serious illness, he struggled to hold on when he was weeding up the slope. His hands were worn out, and his waist was so painful that he couldn't stand up and he couldn't scream bitter stubbornness; he talked about his acquaintance with Li Yingwan and even got married in the end; he also talked about how he went from village to county, and then from state to road.

When talking about his serious illness, his parents sold land and animals, and finally sold themselves. On this night, in front of a person who was far from close to him, and even later generations and this life together, Tang Cheng had no concealment or control for the first time in more than ten years, and shed unscrupulous tears of emotions. Then when the family got better little by little, even when he mentioned that his hands were worn out when he was working uphill, Tang Cheng's tone was light and positive. This light tone remained until he left home and went to Chang'an. Then he talked about his current longing for home and his desire to spend New Year's Eve with his family.

Qizhi said nothing, and Tang Cheng didn't think about what to say at this time. As he spoke one by one, Tang Cheng's heart became less and less angry from longing, and his body and mind slowly relaxed without realizing it.

I don’t know how long it took, but when Tang Cheng finally finished speaking, Qizhi, who had been silent for a long time, said a very strange thing.

"I'm cold."

Tang Cheng was stunned by this. Qizhi repeated it clearly again, "Tang Cheng, I'm cold."

"Why do you wear so little when you come out in such a cold day?" It was not until this time that Tang Cheng suddenly realized that although the clothes covered with gold beads on Qizhi were beautiful, the effect of keeping cold was indeed very limited. "Go back quickly."

"I'm cold, but I don't want to go back." At this time, in the somewhat dark viewing pavilion, Qizhi's eyes were shiny. Before Tang Cheng could react, Qizhi had already crawled into his arms, hugged his waist with open arms, Qizhi settled himself into the wind flask he was covered with. He then calmed down, raised his head and blinked, "Tang Cheng, I'm cold, you're wrapping up the wind flask behind me!"

The warm fragrance is full of love, and the beauty is embracing her, but Tang Cheng is a little bit unrestless. Isn’t this talking about family and life? Why are you talking about... Qizhi talks about her arms?

Life really cannot be talked about!

This scene in the viewing pavilion happened to be seen by Zhang Liang who was about to approach. Seeing the two people suddenly hugging each other, Zhang Liang was really overwhelmed. This was too bad. It was obviously the third young master who was very interested in Qizhi and just sent him to find someone, so he made a fuss. This...
