Chapter 868 Low-key luxury, impressive
The maid bowed her head and walked away weeping. Before leaving, she flicked her sleeves lightly.
Tsk tsk!
These movements and expressions are carefully designed and rehearsed, right?
Jia Ping'an feels that the emperor is really pitiful... Don't think it's cool that so many women can do whatever they want, the waist can't stand it. Therefore, in most cases, the emperor can only choose the good one and follow it.
When faced with those temptations, the emperor was mostly secretly happy while shouting: Come on! Escort! Escort!
Yun Zhang blessed himself, "The slave resigns."
This acquaintance is very dignified!
Jia Pingan felt that if she changed her clothes, she would be able to remind herself of that female boss in later generations.
Arrived at the back, Qiu Xiang greeted her, Jing Jing was beside her holding a copper basin, "Lang Jun."
Jia Pingan washed his face, Qiuxiang handed him the towel on his shoulders and wiped his face, then left.
Brother is too corrupt!
Jia Pingan thought of the fact that he rejected ten Silla beauties last time, and now he felt that it couldn't be more correct.
"Husband."
Wei Wushuang is taking his second child, Jia Hong.
Jia Hong grows whiter and fatter, his body is full of flesh, and his whole body trembles when he smiles, it’s so fun.
"Da Hong!"
Jia Pingan teased the child.
Wei Wushuang moved his body on the side, stretching his legs a few times, looking pleasing to the eye.
It is really not easy to take care of children, but Jia Pingan is not a pedantic person, so he decisively hired a nanny.
"Husband..." Wei Wushuang bent over and hugged his legs, and from Jia Pingan's perspective, those legs became more and more straight.
"What's the matter?"
Da Hong likes to laugh, and Jia Pingan also likes to tease him.
Wei Wushuang took a deep breath and got up slowly, "I think I invited Zhang Qin and the others to be guests at home tomorrow."
"Zhang Qin! Just figure it out."
Gentlemen don't get involved in women's coterie.
That Zhang Qin was also the wife of the county, and her husband Wang Chong inherited the title of Dongping County Duke after being a hero. However, Wang Chong is a descendant of meritorious deeds who live on his laurels, but he doesn't harm anyone. He is a rare dude...
"Then Wang Chong said that he is a few years older than her husband. He likes to grow some flowers, grass and birds at home. There is no shortage of fields at home. He will go to the countryside to live in the country for a while and inspect it. Zhang Qin said that although it is a bit hard, it is like a tour. Playing with mountains and rivers..."
This is the embryonic form of donkey friends.
"Whenever you want to go, our family will go to Mars Bay to live for a while."
In this day and age, one has to go through legal procedures when going out, but it is not a problem for the Jia family.
Wei Wushuang gritted his teeth and made a reflexive bridge.
incredible!
She pressed her hands on the ground, then let go, and slowly got up with all her waist strength.
"It's cold, Soho definitely doesn't want to go out."
Speaking of Soho, here comes the man.
"Stuff!"
Su Ho threw the child to Jia Pingan, and dragged Wei Wushuang to the side to mutter.
"Wushuang, you invited Zhang Qin and the others tomorrow, remember to get some dried meat. Last time I went out to a banquet, people said that Zhang Qin likes to use dried meat to grind her teeth."
Wei Wushuang was puzzled, "The jerky meat makes your teeth sore, it's not tasty."
"It's delicious." Su He beamed with joy, "The more you chew the jerky, the more delicious it will be."
Jia Pingan has one child in each hand, the second child is okay, he just likes to laugh, but the third child, Jia Dong, looks indifferent and looks very stylish.
"Wow!"
The stylish Jia Dong howled, and Jia Pingan pulled the diaper away, "Pull it!"
The nanny rushed in like flying, apologizing repeatedly, as if Jia Dong was her child.
"This man..." Jia Ping'an said awkwardly.
I have fallen!
Jia Ping'an was very sad. When he was lying on the bed at night, Su Ho beside him was muttering.
"Lang Jun, Tomorrow Wushuang has invited Zhang Qin and the others to come to the house, and there must be more than a dozen guests... We will have no fun at home."
Of course you can’t invite only one person. Today, the servants of Jia’s family took turns to deliver posts. They said they went to more than a dozen families, and those families happily accepted the invitation.
"Husband."
As the weather turned cold, Suho's hobby sprouted, and he hugged Jia Ping'an like an octopus.
"What are you doing?" Jia Pingan said angrily, "They eat and drink theirs, and we eat and drink ours."
Su Ho suggested, "Let's go out to eat."
"Where to eat?"
"Go..." Suho hugged him, "find a small shop at random, we will change into ordinary clothes, pretend to be ordinary couples to eat... It's very interesting. Husband, you said before that you would take me to see goldfish, did you say so?" for many years…"
"Husband!"
"Husband!"
"knew."
Look at the goldfish with a cute girl, you are a **** now, what is your situation?
Jia Ping'an was thinking that he didn't seem to have many banquets at home, isn't that right?
Now he has countless friends anyway, and these friends have to come and go from time to time... The so-called friends who walk around often are friends, and those who don't walk around...Some people say that real friends are those who don't walk around. But what is it if you move around? Platonic spiritual communication?
Never mind, sleep!
Jia Pingan just wanted to turn over, but felt heavy when he moved, "You mother, you are getting heavier! Lose weight! Lose weight!"
"Husband, what do you want to do?"
Su Ho buried his face in the back of his neck, "I won't move."
Later...
"Aren't you not moving?"
…
On the second day, Jia Pingan met his cousin when he left the house.
"Cousin, why have you lost weight?"
Yang Deli was already thin, but now he looked a little dry.
"It's okay." Yang Deli's eyes sparkled, "I've been thinking about something recently, looking for some evidence."
"Impeach people?"
Just as bad people's political achievements come from arresting people, Yushi's political achievements come from impeachment.
"Um!"
Yang Deli looked firmly, "The road is uneven...I will step on it!"
Cousin looks more and more like a censor.
Arrive at the Ministry of War and click a diao, and then enter the palace.
"Uncle, I just need to offer wine, and I still need a secretary, why don't you come to be the secretary." Li Hong looked forward to it.
hehe!
This baby thinks too much.
"I'm very busy." Jia Pingan is really busy.
Li Hong was frustrated, so he went to tell his wife later.
"Uncle refuses."
The emperor fell ill, all political affairs were on Wu Mei's head, and she was very busy.
She looked up at Li Hong, and sighed, "Your uncle wishes no one would bother him. Even if he is a minister of the Ministry of War, he still spends three days fishing and two days posting nets. You still want him to be a secretary...that is Killed him. No, I forgot one thing."
She looked at Shao Peng and Zhou Shanxiang.
This is the chief secretary beside her, the artificial notebook.
Zhou Shanxiang used his brains, "Is it a matter of the court?"
Shaopeng felt something was wrong, "No, it's..."
The two of them were talking at each other, Wu Mei had a headache, "Shut up!"
The two of them were silent, Wu Mei's head ached.
Li Hong was sitting on the side, pretending to be reading a book of memoirs in his hand, "Is it about uncle?"
Wu Mei woke up suddenly, "That's right, it's a matter of safety, last time when he returned from a great victory, he couldn't get sick, I wanted to ask Xuanzang to do something for him, but I was so busy that I forgot.
Shao Peng, go to Jia's house and tell Ping An to go to Da Ci'en Temple immediately. Zhou Shanxiang, go find Master Xuanzang, tell him what you told him last time, and let him handle it. "
Shao Peng went to Jia's house in no time.
"How to do things?"
Jia Ping'an wanted to die, "Ninety-nine and eighty-one, isn't this asking me to die? Not today."
"I didn't let you go today, the mage has to prepare one or two."
Shao Peng said in a low voice: "You... poor."
Even Shaopeng knew that I was pitiful, and Jia Pingan wanted to die even more, "Go back and tell Sister, just say that I fell ill and can't go recently..."
It will be a while if it can be delayed for a while!
Shaopeng didn't care about him, "Is there still that stinky tofu?"
"Addicted?" Jia Pingan smirked.
Shao Peng sighed: "Since the last time I had a good meal, we have often talked about stinky tofu, and when I lay in bed at night, I suddenly recalled the taste of stinky tofu."
…
Zhang Qin came, a very luxurious carriage, showing the heritage of the Wang family.
"My lady, we are here."
The maid got out of the car and brought a stool.
The car curtain was lifted, revealing a face with delicate makeup.
"Is this the Jia family?"
Zhang Qin glanced over, "Mr. Jia is great at killing enemies, and even more so at earning money. With so much money, he refuses to change to a bigger house. Even if he doesn't change it, at least he has to redecorate it, right? Shabby..."
She even thought Jia Ping'an was a jerk.
But Jia Pingan, the county magistrate, was killed with his own sword, and this upstart should not be offended.
Fangzheng Jiang Rong and Fang Zu only dared to watch from a distance, not approaching, otherwise the group of ladies would tear him apart.
"The county lady is here too."
All the ladies came over, Zhang Qin saluted, and everyone returned the salute.
"This is the Jia family?"
Qianqi Wushuang is busy, and has no chance to meet these ladies. Later, Jia Pingan couldn't see it, so he kicked her and Su Ho out and asked them to build their own social circles.
This is the first time for everyone to visit Jia's house. Looking at this ordinary house, they couldn't help being dumbfounded.
The gate opened, with Du He in front and Yun Zhang behind.
"Ladies, please come in."
Wei Wushuang greeted him from behind.
There was a lot of excitement when everyone met, and they took advantage of the situation to look at Jia's house.
Ordinary!
This is the house of a small rich man, which is seriously inconsistent with the identity of the Jia family.
Entered the main hall, and everyone talked.
"May I ask." A noble lady said with a smile, "Mr. Jia is not short of money. Why do you decorate your home... so frugally."
Thrift is a virtue, but excessive is bad.
A lady touched the table suddenly, "Huh! Is this made of rosewood?"
Everyone looked at the case in front of them...
Zhang Qin poured some tea on the table, and said in surprise: "This is the highest-quality rosewood. Last time I searched for a long time, I only found a piece of it. My husband used it as a table for the study... here it is. How many cases are used to create hospitality?"
Red sandalwood cannot become useful for hundreds of years, and it is not produced much in the Tang Dynasty, so it is expensive, and often there is no market for it.
This handwriting... low-key luxury refers to the Jia family.
Wei Wushuang smiled and said: "I don't like these things, even the best wood will rot. Last time, several merchants worked hard to transport more than ten rosewood from Lingnan, and they had to give it to me. Idiot.
The red sandalwood was huge, and the poor man took it away after seeing their hard work, and there was no place to put it in the house, so I sent someone to find a craftsman to replace the furniture in the house. "
"The... furniture in your home is made of rosewood these days?"
More than a dozen giant trees!
Changan often has giant trees entering the city because of the building of dignitaries' houses and the royal family's palaces, but the posture of getting a dozen giant trees this time is also a bit shocking.
The key is rosewood!
Wei Wushuang nodded.
This is called low-key luxury.
Immediately, everyone took a sip of tea.
"I love tea, and the tea I bought at home is also the best tea from the tea house, why is it not as good as this?"
A lady put down her teacup and asked.
Wei Wushuang smiled apologetically, "Most of the top-quality tea leaves were given away to others, and there are still some left at home. Don't be disgusted when you leave later, take some back to taste."
Sour!
Sour!
Immediately it is playing.
Wei Wushuang proposed to go to Daodefang.
"Although there is no scenery in the field, the only place in Chang'an city where you can find this kind of wildness is Daodefang."
Everyone put on hoods and followed Wei Wushuang out.
In Daodefang, there is occasional cooking smoke, more than a dozen cows are scattershotly looking for food in the field, and a few sheep are bleating on the side...a shepherd boy is playing the flute on the side...
"What a wild fun!"
Everyone turned around with great interest.
"Auntie!"
There are two children in front, a boy and a girl, with iron-eating beasts around them, playing games with a group of children, it is very lively.
Wei Wushuang smiled and waved.
Two children ran over with flushed faces. After the salute, the ladies all presented gifts one after another.
"This is your Dalang." Zhang Qin smiled and said, "Why don't you go to study, but play with them here."
Everyone is a little disapproving... The children of the rich and powerful can only play with the children of the rich and powerful. What fun is there with the children of these ordinary people? Only to be spoiled.
Wei Wushuang said: "My humble husband was born in a peasant family, and he often said that one should not forget one's roots, so the two children have been playing in Daodefang since they were more sensible."
Jia Ping’an’s original words are not like this, but: Whose ancestors are born rich and powerful? Aren't they all farmers who plan food in the ground?
A lady smiled and said, "These two children look energetic, which is rare."
Wei Wushuang nodded, "These two children have never been sick since they got older."
This method is enviable, the ladies hurriedly ask for advice.
Go back later.
As soon as I entered the house, I smelled a bad smell.
"What's this smell?"
Most likely the husband is making stinky tofu again.
Wei Wushuang's eyelids twitched several times, and just as he was about to answer, he saw Jia Pingan coming out from the kitchen with an oversized bowl.
"This is... Duke Jia?"
The ladies were dumbfounded.
Is Duke Jia still in the kitchen?
Then another person came out of the kitchen.
Zhang Qin whispered: "It's Shao Zhongguan."
If you want to stabilize your position, you have to make a good impression on the empress. And the best way is to start with the people around them. But this kind of people don't easily go out in the palace, even if they do, you won't be able to run into them.
Shao Peng is the number one servant around the queen. As the queen takes power, the status and prestige of Lao Shao also rises.
Zhang Qin and others did not expect to meet him in Jia's house. Isn't this a godsend?
The lady who just wanted to speak up stopped, covering her red lips, her eyes were full of surprise.
The ladies are all like this.
Shaopeng was holding two small bowls, a jug of wine in one hand, and two pairs of chopsticks. He looked as if he had just gone to help in the kitchen.
The two of them turned a corner and went to the study room. After eating a meal of stinky tofu, they were so refreshed.
"Let's go and go."
Shao Peng went back to work with a food box... If the queen asked why she came back late, this would be the reason.
Jia Pingan went to the backyard, and took Su Ho out quietly.
The two brats went home and couldn't find Aye and Suho, so they got angry!
"Aye promised to take me there!" Doudou wanted to cry.
Jia Yu said indignantly, "Aye is too much."
Jia Ping'an and Su Ho wore simple clothes, and Su Ho didn't even wear clothes. The two walked slowly all the way.
Take a look here, a look there.
After arriving at Pingkangfang, Jia Pingan took Suho around.
"This is delicious." Su Ho smiled happily and ate a piece of barbecue with Jia Ping'an's hand.
Jia Pingan also ate a slice, "Mmm! The taste is very special, and the craftsmanship is good."
Pingkangfang is a hodgepodge, with the most brothels and places to eat and drink, it can be called a giant complex in Chang'an City.
The two couldn't eat anymore after eating half of it. Jia Pingan found a wine shop and went in, and sat in the corner with Su Ho.
The wine shop has some special dishes, as well as sweet and sour fruit wine, which Soho likes to drink most.
Jia Pingan slowly tasted the fruit wine, feeling like the fruit juice of later generations.
"SoHo."
Su Ho raised his head, there was still food in his mouth chewing, his cheeks moved, his almond eyes stared.
"Wu Shuang has made some friends, why haven't you?"
Wei Wushuang and Zhang Qin seem to be quite familiar with each other. It can be seen that the cold long legs are not ignorant of communication, but most of the time they are arrogant and unwilling.
Su Ho swallowed the food, drank a few sips of fruit wine, obviously refreshed, and said comfortably: "As soon as those women meet, they talk about clothes and makeup, which one has the best makeup, which one has the best fabric, which one's what? What…"
Su Ho tilted his head and shook his head, "I'm impatient listening to the side, wishing I could go home earlier."
Jia Ping'an was speechless.
So you don't like those hypocritical entertainments?
This woman is straightforward.
No, it was done on a whim.
Su Ho suddenly smirked, "Husband, you don't know, apart from Zhang Qin and a few women, Wu Shuang doesn't like to associate with those people... But she said that there must be someone outside the Jia family to socialize, no matter how annoyed she was, she had to laugh .”
"how about you?"
Su Ho pointed to himself, "Me? I just eat, drink, have fun, and give advice to Wushuang. Last time Zhang Qin and Wushuang whispered that they wanted to buy a piece of land outside the city, so I said it was not appropriate..."
"Why is it not appropriate?" The land outside the city is wealth, and those powerful and powerful have sharpened their heads to squeeze in. Every time someone sells the land outside the city, the rich and powerful will fight for it.
Why did Soho say it was inappropriate?
Su Ho put his hands on his cheeks and smiled triumphantly, "When I was in the palace, whenever there were vacancies for important positions, those people would flock to them, looking for connections and giving money... Some people were favored by everyone because of this, but in the end it was someone else who took the position …that’s when I wondered why…”
Jia Ping'an smiled.
The shopkeeper of the restaurant came to serve the dishes, and Jia Pingan waved his hand slightly, indicating that it would be later.
"That person became depressed later, and the next time there was a vacancy, he was still not selected. I found that not only him, but most of those people who seemed to be expected by everyone were not selected in the end..."
Su Ho said resolutely: "I just feel... the more people are expected of him, the more he is a person with stars and stars, the more vigilant he will be at the top."
"What does that have to do with buying land?" Jia Pingan asked with a smile.
"Of course it has something to do with it!" Su Ho said in amazement: "A family buys land here and houses there, life is booming, and there are countless fields outside Chang'an City...Sooner or later, these people will be whispered by the higher-ups. And those who don't Those who show off their talents, those who are not complacent, and those who buy property and are far away from Chang'an, are given priority in promotion..."
It's not that the wood is beautiful, but it's too high-profile. The more high-profile the bigwigs and the emperor are, the more disgusted they are.
Jia Pingan didn't expect that the big Lala Suho would have such a brain.
Su Ho said proudly: "Our family already has a farm outside the city. I said that our family is not short of money. Such a property outside Chang'an City will attract attention. Wu Shuang declined Zhang Qin after thinking about it."
Even if it is a later generation, if the old Jia's family ranks in the top three of the rich list, it can be said to be infinitely beautiful. Then I bought a private jet, bought a mansion in the ring of the capital, and bought several, one for a club, one for a young model...
How long will this kind of people be able to enjoy themselves?
It seems that the future generations will not be long.
On the contrary, those low-key people live longer.
He said softly: "You impress my husband."
