C326 Du yi jian (1/2)
From the conversation just now, Xiao Wen understood what he needed to do in this short period of time. Hence, his eyes suddenly brimmed with clarity.
By the side, regardless of whether they were silent or not, Yang Xiu who was reading the books that Xiao Wen had given them, or who had left his seat and was doing sports preparation, who was planning to start his day of fitness, was brimming with vitality.
Manager Wu handed over the tea. Tang Kingdom's tea was different from other periods of history, it was not brewed with boiling water directly to make the tea, but grinded the tea into powder to make the tea.
However, in the 21st century, the spread of tea making in Japan had already reached China, so Xiao Wen was not too unfamiliar with tea making.
However, according to the Manager Wu, when the people of the Tang Kingdom drank tea, they would add spices like cinnamon, octagonal, peppers, and even some weird things like ginger, garlic, and mutton oil.
It was just that he was worried that Xiao Wen, a Foreigners, wouldn't be able to get used to it, so he added a little more.
Hearing that, Xiao Wen was silent for a moment, then used a righteous tone to speak, exercising his own privilege as a feudal noble and beat Manager Wu. He also warned him that he would not be allowed to serve tea anymore.
To be honest, Xiao Wen might be able to accept it if he added a bit of a milk cap to the tea leaves. But adding these strange things into the mix, Xiao Wen only felt a wave of disgust.
Strangely, when Xiao Wen was beating up the supervisor, the people around him all had indifferent expressions. Only Wan-Er was a bit worried.
However, he quickly concealed his worry. Everything seemed to have calmed down, leaving behind only the miserable shrieks of the manager.
But when he saw that the meek Manager Wu did not have any signs of resistance, Xiao Wen suddenly stopped.
He somewhat hated the trace of indifference in his heart.
Once upon a time, he had been hot-blooded and impassioned, thinking of how to overthrow this evil old society. But now, he was still here, acting as if he was a feudal noble.
Even though there were many times when Xiao Wen would restrain himself. But Xiao Wen was still a human, he couldn't stay calm for too long. And once he lost his cool, his anger would fall on the people, and they wouldn't be able to fight back.
Shaking his head, Xiao Wen cast aside those thoughts, and secretly comforted himself: ”Only children would be conflicted about right and wrong, adults only care about the pros and cons!”
The time line of the Tang Kingdom was very chaotic, thus Xiao Wen had already stopped his search of the super library and asked the people beside him instead.
Based on his understanding of the current situation of this world, even a normal person might be better than a super library. Xiao Wen directly asked about the existence of the great poets and great scholars in this country. It was much more efficient than him searching for the super library.
When Xiao Wen asked this question, Manager Wu immediately crawled up from the ground. He was like a person who was fine, as if the one who beat him up just now was the lifelong rival of the King of the Undead — Air, not Xiao Wen.
When he stood up, he was still as respectful as ever. After thinking for a moment, he said, ”If sire wishes to befriend a scholar from the Luoyang, you can start with Censor Du.”
”Censor Du?” Xiao Wen was startled for a moment, and asked: ”Du Fu?”
That's not right! In the history of Du Fu's youth, he had travelled to Wu Yue and Qi Zhao, and had even gone to Luoyang.
After the age of thirty-five, he should have failed the examination at the Chang'an; later, he should have offered gifts to the Emperor and bestowed gifts to nobles.
The officials were disappointed as they witnessed the social crisis and extravagance of the upper class society in Tang Dynasty.
Fourteen years of Heavenly Treasures (755), AnShi chaos broke out, Tongguan lost, Du Fu more and more. In the year of Qian Yuan (759), Du Fu abandoned his official and entered the city.
From the beginning to the end, he had never held the position of Imperial Physician.
As expected, when Xiao Wen mentioned Du Fu, the Manager Wu's expression became blank. He said, ”This lowly one does not know who Du Fu is. Actually, the one that I wish to introduce is the history of the palace's steward, Du Yijian, Lord Du. ”
Hearing that, Xiao Wen immediately closed his eyes, his mind thinking about the other party's information.
Xiangyang County, Xiangzhou. About died in the last years of Tang Gao Zong Xianhun.
He was probably the first unlucky person in the Tang Dynasty to be demoted to a prefecture and die in the prefecture due to political struggles.
Du Yi was also a talented youth. The Old Tang said that he was nine years old and could write, and that he had a ”high reputation for learning.”
