13. Anxi's Lonely

"Mr. Gao Yi, I, Yang Miaoer, admire this!" Yang Duzhi said this first, and then the women saluted and repeated it together.

Before Gao Yue could react, Yang Miaoer stepped forward and bowed to the next time, "From now on, there will be Langjun's incense brothers. If Gao Langjun comes to the post, if he does not dislike it, all the manpower and fees required by the Jinshi Order will be borne by me."

Yang Du knew that he was indeed a hero among women. He spoke generously. Although he didn't understand what the "Jinshi Order" meant, Gao Yue was also quite moved and hurriedly imitated the etiquette of the Tang people and replied, "Everyone knows, well, that, I know that I love you wrong!"

Then Yang Miaoer carried out a lacquer box covered with brocade, opened it, and lined up in strings of blue copper coins, mixed with some gold and silver ingots. "Gao Langjun, please accept it. I will give you twenty coins from the monthly association money of Xunguqu Women's Club and give it to Langjun as a food book for the spring exam."

I mean, these twenty stalks will be improved for Gao Yue to eat.

What was the concept of twenty jin of coins at that time? In a large county, the monthly salary of the chief clerk and county magistrate was twenty jin, the county magistrate was thirty jin, and the county magistrate was only forty jin, so Yang Duzhi's gift was generous.

Gao Yue did not expect such an opportunity, so he couldn't help but accept the money gratefully and thanked Yang Du. But obviously, Yang Miaoer, like Wang Tuantuan, also had the idea of ​​"a strange thing to live in". She told Gao Yue straightforwardly that this money does not require the husband to repay, but after seeking to be outstanding, she only mentions the Northern Qu, not the Southern Qu and the Central Qu.

Outside the gate of Pingkangfang, Yang Miaoer sent four or five "Miaokes" (that is, men raised by prostitutes, most of them had to do odd jobs for brothels) wearing short shirts and pushing a cart with gifts and gifts given to Gao Yue. He followed Gao Yue himself and walked towards the direction of the wuzhuanfang.

The second fang is actually just across the street, but there is a dragon-shou canal passing through it. Several rumbling mills are built in the edges of the canal. The high water wheels rotate rhythmically, like a small Ferris wheel.

In the depression beside the stone bridge, Gao Yue found a young man following him.

Looking back, it was none other than Cai Fonu who had fought in the flower gallery of Baotang Temple.

When Cai Fonu saw Gao Yue, he smiled as if he was pleased. He came over and pointed at the wall of Wubenfang and said, "I will handle the job for Jingyuan and go to the ghost market of Wubenfang to buy firewood."

It turned out that the personnel sent by local governments to Chang'an to work in various vassal states in the Tang Empire (mostly negotiated with the court) had no mansions, and most of them were scattered in various inns or hostels. Not long ago, Emperor Daizong issued an imperial edict, "Those who work in Shangdu were changed to Jinzouyuan", and localities had special "Beijing Offices" - and Pingkangfang alone had more than ten Jinzouyuans, including Tonghua (Tongzhou, Huazhou), Hezhong, Heyang, Xiang, Xu, Wei, Jingyuan, Lingwu, Xia, Zhaoyi, etc.

I guess Cai Fonu was fired by Baotang Temple for fighting first, and now he found an errand to purchase materials in the Jinzouyuan, the Jingyuan Jiedushi.

Gao Yue knew that Cai Fonu was so fistful and saw that he loved Song Zhuzhou, Xiaoyuezhou, and followed him, probably because he saw him rescuing Wang Tuantuan and felt admiration. He wanted to get to know him - in the future, there would be a response in this huge Chang'an City - so he asked Cai with a smile, "Wubenfang Ghost Market?"

"Yes, ghost market." Cai Fonu replied in a muffled voice, "Any dry firewood, charcoal, which is cut down by local suburbs, likes to send to Wubenfang ghost market for sale, and only the bulk will be sent to East China City."

So Gao Yue took the opportunity to continue asking the Buddha slaves, why is a market that sells firewood and charcoal called "Ghost Market".

His mother, who lives with the Buddha Nu, believed in Buddhism and told Gao Yue seriously that in this ghost market, every autumn and winter, you can hear all kinds of shrill crying at night. People in Chang'an think that the withered wood spirit is at work.

"Hardwood is still sophisticated." Gao Yue almost laughed.

During the chat, Gao Yue also knew that Cai Fonu lost his father when he was young. People only said that his father was a soldier who died in the chaos, but his mother always said that his father was a hero and the number one general of the four towns in Anxi. He was martyred in the war against Xifan due to the king's affairs. Later, the town and camp in Anxi, Beiting occupied Longyou due to the Western Box (during the Anshi Rebellion, the Anxi Beiting Protectorate drew elite troops into the pass to serve the king, which was for the camp, and later stationed in Jingyuan). He was completely separated and had no contact with the Chang'an court for many years, resulting in Cai Fonu's father's achievements being buried in the desert and deserted dust, leaving Cai's mother in Pingkangfang, and pulled the Buddhanu to grow up.

"Although this town is not in Chang'an City, the camp is in Jingyuan, and there is also a Jinzouyuan in Chang'an. Why not appeal?" Gao Yue gave Cai Fonu a suggestion.

Fonu shook his head and said that his mother had exhausted all her savings before, but she went to Jingyuan to find the governor of the camp, Ma Zhenxi (Ma Lin), and Ma Lin also agreed to give him an explanation to his mother and son. But who would have thought that Ma Zhenxi had just made a promise and died a month ago. The entire Jingyuan camp soldiers were in a state of unstable state, and the coffin was sent to Ma Lin's mansion in Chang'an City. The court also entrusted Ma Lin's marching Sima Duan Xiushi to govern the officers and soldiers, so he could not take into account the "small matters" of his family for the time being.

However, the Jingyuan camp made some compensation. The day before yesterday, I sent someone to ask Cai Fonu to work in Jingyuan Jinzouyuan in Pingkangfang, and also distributed some salary every month to subsidize his family's income.

Before he knew it, he had already walked to the ghost market in Wubenfang. Gao Yue looked at the market covered with snow mud and was covered with bundles of firewood. Many people were hawking there, and there was no gloomy "ghost market atmosphere". Cai Fonu bought a lot of dry firewood, and carried them all on his back. He was so dense that he could hardly see him, so he said goodbye to Gao Yue.

Gao Yue thought about it and called him to stop him. Then he took out a gold bar worth ten cents from the food capital given by Yang Miaoer and stuffed it into the food capital of the Buddha slave. "This money will be used as a food capital for your mother."

Cai Fonu immediately burst into his head and said no.

But Gao Yue pressed his shoulder and whispered, "Everyone is a guest from a foreign land, and he should take care of each other. If you carry so much dry firewood on your back, don't refuse."

Cai Fonu immediately choked up, "Your husband treats me like this, and he will be the brother of the Slave in the future. If the Slave can work hard in Chang'an City, he will never forget your great kindness."

"Oh, it's just a ten-point chunk of money, there's no need to do that." Gao Yue said generously, "I'm a student, and the country has a lot of subsidies."

After Cai Fonu left, Gao Yue stood proudly outside the gate wall of the Imperial College of Wubenfang. The wonderful guests from Pingkangfang Beiqu stopped the car and sat there to rest. Among them, the one named Su Wunu said to Gao Yue with a smile, "Mr. is so generous. Half of them can be eliminated in just 20 straits. But he really doesn't look like a ty student!"
