At this time, there is a little bit of a warm feeling, but the house still needs to be lit to keep warm. Small households often make a brazier in the house, and some families spend money to build a stove to make a kang, but no matter which kind of fireworks is heavy, it always makes people feel uncomfortable in one kind or another.

Wang Tong was very unaccustomed to this when he was a child. He gradually adapted to it over the years. He stood up and walked to the side hall with Ma Fang. Only on the way did he find that there was no fireworks in the room.

"There is no fireworks, but it is as warm as spring. I wonder how Lord Ma's house keeps warm!"

When he asked, Ma Fang and Ma Lin looked back at him, and the maids and servants serving around him looked over in surprise. Wang Tong was quite familiar with that life. He walked into a high-end place in a dressed manner. The service staff were all looking at this look, just ridiculing the poor who had never seen the world. But everyone was placed here, so Ma Fang naturally didn't meet this kind of response and said with a smile: "The earth dragon made in this house is old and I feel sorry for the wind and cold, so I did this.

Speaking of the earth dragon, Wang Tong knew what it was. The wealthy and powerful family in the capital dug brick roads under the mansion. Fires were made in winter, and heat flowed into these roads to bake the ground. The heat was lighter than the air conditioner, and the whole house would get hotter.

However, this earth dragon consumes a huge amount of firewood and coal. It is impossible for ordinary wealthy business officials in the capital to use it. Some families may not be able to use it every day. Wang Tong still remembers that Chen Sibao told his family that he made money in Tianjin Wei, and burned earth dragons every day when he returned to the capital. This is the case with the Xiangcheng Bo family, let alone other people. Moreover, even in the palace, there are ground dragons such as warm pavilions, they have to use sable hats and cloaks when they leave the door. There are ground dragons in the Ma Mansion, even the corridors, and there is no chill at all.

Wang Tong stomped his feet gently. After he arrived in the north, he was wearing thick-soled leather boots. No wonder he couldn't feel the temperature of the ground. It would be fine if there were about thirty steps from the living room to the dining room. Ma Fang was supported by two maids on the left and right sides. Wang Tong noticed that Ma Fang's steps were very steady and his body was very balanced. This was not the way he needed help. This style simply showed that he was pampered and had a precious identity.

When the two maids in front of the door saw the guest coming, they quickly bowed and lifted the curtain. They had to say that when they came to this mansion, they could see that the maids serving the upper and lower sides were all beautiful. It was not too much to say that they were beautiful, but the makeup was really thicker and the clothes were more fancy. The lower girls in the mansion seemed to be dressed like this. Wang Tong had never been to any wealthy family, but he also knew that this kind of dress was too beautiful. The Qin Pavilion in the capital was still a place of fireworks, and the girls inside were much more elegant than this one.

Before entering the hall, a light fragrance wafted over. The smell was like the fragrance of plum blossoms, but there was a bit of wine in it, which made people feel quite comfortable.

When I walked into the hall, I saw a few plum blossoms! In the big wooden barrel, it was placed in the four corners of the hall. I thought it was moved from outside during the banquet.

The tableware on the round table was made of silver, with a square thick bottom of about two inches below, and a disk above, with a lid covered on the disk. Wang Tong and others entered the room ten times, and the servants of the Ma family immediately lifted the lid.

Needless to say, the food and utensils are a delicious food. Wang Tong wanted to eat some special game in the north, but the banquet at the Li family was the best table in the Jingshi Restaurant. The same routine at the Ma family was just a few more delicacies. The tableware was more exquisite and expensive, but it was very similar to what I ate at Fushou Building back then. "Oh, the poison under this silver plate should be filled with soju. No wonder it is still steaming now."

"Eunuch Cai is very knowledgeable. I heard that there is this method in Nanjing's Duke Wei's mansion. Xuanfu is so cold that it is unreasonable to make the guests' work tables and so on. However, when the dishes are ready, they will easily become cold. This method is created."

When Ma Fang heard Cai Nan's words, her eyes lit up and she said with a smile, with a proud look on her face. Wang Tong followed her with a smile. No wonder there was a smell of wine besides the fragrance of flowers.

However, it was a luxury to ignite the silverware in two grids to keep the food warm. In this era, he was in the capital and Tianjin Wei did not hear anyone doing this. The Duke of Wei was the best-selling noble family in the world. Ma Fang was able to compare with him, so he was really gone.

The atmosphere at the banquet was very good. After Wang Tong was about to explain in detail to Marin how to defeat and kill the Tartars on the grassland, Marin's hostility faded a lot.

The shock and praise of Xiwang Tong and Cai Nan for the luxury of the mansion made Ma Fang much more excited, and his attitude towards the two changed from being warm just now to being intimate.

After sitting down, I put on the cold plate. The vermilion-glazed porcelain plate. Cai Nan, who was still heavy, stared at the porcelain plate in front of him for a long time, hesitated for a while before speaking: "Master Ma, if our family is not wrong, this is the Jun porcelain imitated in Jiangxi last year. Tsk tsk, Tianjin Wei will only be available at the end of the year. I didn't expect that Ma had already used it...

After saying this, Ma Fang was stunned, but burst into laughter. Ma Lin next to him also shook his head slowly with a smile on his face. Ma Fang stopped laughing and said, "Eunuch Cai, this is not a imitation. This is the best Jun porcelain produced during the Zhenghe period of the Northern Song Dynasty. According to experts, this is still used by Song Weizong and Li Shishi..."

Wang Tong had a smile on his face, but suddenly became extremely annoyed. Is this still the nine-sided land of the Ming Pingfan? The wind and flowers and snowy moon competed for luxury. The residence of the Ma family, the deputy general of the Xuanfu, and the residence of the Li family, were all extremely luxurious. The generals dressed as scholars, and they were all enjoying food and food. Think of the soldiers wearing tattered cotton jackets on the street, the generals and soldiers who were cowardly fighting like rats in Zhangjiakou Fort, and the purpose of this trip.

On the other side, Ma Fang had already talked about the romantic affairs between Song Huizong and Li Shishi. Wang Tong was unwilling to listen to it anymore, so he raised his glass and said:

"Before Xiaguan came to Xuanfu, he heard people all the way about Lord Ma's great military achievements. In the 29th year of Emperor Shizong Su, the Tartars entered Weiyuan. Lord Ma bravely moved forward, killing more than a hundred enemy cavalry by one person. Such power is really admired by the subordinates."

The military achievements and deeds mentioned by Wang Tong made Ma Fang famous all over the world. It was this great achievement of killing more than a hundred that made Ma Fang’s current wealthy official position. Wang Tong mentioned it at this time, and Ma Fang was also very proud.

However, from the current year of Longqing, Ma Quan's achievements are nothing more than the invasion of the Tartars on a certain day. Ma Fang led his troops to attack, and the Tartars were defeated and fled, but they did not mention the killing level or the specific process.

The Tartars went south to plunder and plunder until they could not grab things, and they always had to return to the grassland. If they advance and retreat, the court would not send people to verify whether they would repel it. It could naturally be said that it was a great victory. Wang Tong naturally would not say this.

"At that time, I was young and fled back from the Tartars again, and I was brave enough to make such a reckless thing. Over the years, I was so proud that I was sent to protect one side. I realized that I should be stable and everything was safe first.

Wang Tong and Cai Nan couldn't say anything at this time, but they just nodded with laughter. Seeing that the mansion is so rich and noble, people are indeed unwilling to make a rash move. However, Ma Lin next to him said, "Can you please tell me how to kill the enemy on the grassland? I am really curious about such an incredible victory for Lord Wang?"

Among such military feeders, there are those who want to know how to fight. Wang Tong looked at Ma Lin a lot, and smiled and nodded, and started to talk.

However, this great victory on the grassland has little to do with intelligence and strategy. The calm response is on the one hand, and the improvement of equipment is on the other hand. The large chariots make the city and the guns are far away, which offsets the maneuverability of the Tartar cavalry and makes the bow and arrow shooting that the Tartars are good at lose its effect. The fundamental reason for the victory is.

After explaining for half an hour, Ma Lin was so focused on listening, but Cai Nan touched Wang Tong and glanced at the main position. Ma Fang was taking a nap there.

Ma Fang was in a strong spirit. He fed from Datong to Xuanfu. He spent decades of fighting with the Tartars. He should be interested in these good strategies for victory that Wang Tong said. He listened to the plan more focused than Ma Lin. Wang Tong said it was wonderful, but he didn't expect that Ma Fang would actually listen to it. "My lord asked the lower officials to come to the mansion to share the worries of the lower officials. Thank you here!"

Everything is luxurious, but Wang Tong was a little irritable and simply pointed out the topic directly. Ma Fang, who was drowsy just now, woke up and smiled and said, "Yun Sheng wants eight hundred, but he doesn't know how much Hu Weiying wants to keep?"

Wang Tong was stunned when he heard this. The other party meant that he would buy all the Ma family that were reserved for the whole family. He was really brave. While he was pondering there, Ma Lin, who was sitting opposite, stood up with a stiff smile, clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Wang, I feel a little uncomfortable in my lower body. Please leave first, please forgive me." After that, he hurriedly left the seat. When Ma Lin left the house, Ma Fang smiled helplessly and started. He said:

"I have the same son, Ma Taoism, but I don't have a lot of brains. I always like to talk about the great things and say that I have to take the level of my own immediately. If it is so easy, the court will do something nine sides..." "Tiger-Weiying will keep two hundred." Wang Tong only did not hear Ma Fang's feelings, and reported a number. Ma Fang smiled and nodded, saying, "The rest of me will belong to me!" "Three hundred taels each!"

Since Ma Fang's mansion is so luxurious, Wang Tong simply wants more, 1,200 levels, 360,000 taels of silver, which is not worth a huge sum of money. Ma Fang's smile did not diminish and said gently: "This is easy to say, but I can't take so much cash in my hand at one time..."
