Chapter 105: Xuzhou
However, in the end, they still got off the ship in Linqing. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Due to the cold weather in winter, the canal does not freeze, but there is a possibility of ice floe, so the boat travels much slower than in other seasons. It is the eighth day of the Lunar New Year on the day of Linqing, because Linqing is one of the big ports on the canal, so although it is the New Year, its lively and prosperous degree is no less than that of weekdays.
The group came to a restaurant with wine flags hanging on the edge of the canal, and there was a lot of people inside, and it was very hot in this cold day. They chose a place in the middle of the lobby to sit down, but Jingyun and the others resolutely refused to share a table with the two.
Xuanhui Zhengse said: "We are people who have experienced life and death together, although we are masters and servants, we are like sisters. I am grateful to you for following me along the way, helping me and protecting me. If you say that you will repay it in the future, it is too vain, if you drink at the same table today, the right should be to make up for a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, okay? ”
When a few people heard the word "repay", they felt that they couldn't bear it, and they hurriedly knelt down. But in this place where people come and go, it is too obvious. Pei Minzhong said with a smile: "Since the princess has spoken, you just have to obey." It was so easy for me to coax her to stop crying, and you want to make her angry? That's okay, whoever provokes it will be coaxed. ”
Xuanhui said angrily: "You are narrow, and you are used to squeezing me with that talk!" ”
At this time, the shopkeeper ran over: "Sorry guys, the business in the store is too busy, so I didn't come over in time to say hello." Our store has just caught a few big carp crucian carp for the winter by the canal, and a lot of shrimp have been caught. Have a milk soup crucian carp to warm up, and then make a steamed fish, green onions, ginger and garlic are put enough to ensure that there is only umami and no fishy smell. The chef's braised prawns are also excellent......"
Pei Minzhong said: "You have one of all the dishes in your store, and then warm a pot of rice wine, and we will drive away the cold." Put some shredded ginger and plums in it to remove the flavor of the wine. ”
When the shopkeeper saw the big customer, he smiled happily: "The guest officer is really a cheerful person, you wait, good wine and good food will come soon!" ”
It didn't take long for the dishes to come one after another. Xuanhui took a sip of rice wine, the faint ginger flavor and the sweetness and sourness of the plum blended together, which was very delicious. After a glass of wine, two red clouds floated on her face.
Pei Min was about to tease her, but the voice on the table next door led them over: "...... It's a good deal to sell medicinal herbs in these chaotic years, but I just came over from the south to persuade my brother to wait and go again. Then Liu Guangsheng sent troops to surround Xuzhou! Now that the war in the north has just subsided, the medicinal materials you collect are already expensive, if you go all the way south to Jinling and Yangzhou, I am afraid that this road fee will be compensated. If you wait until the battle in Xuzhou is over, you will go over immediately, and it is estimated that you can still make a fortune. ”
When Xuan Hui heard this, his face changed, and his heart jumped suddenly. Pei Minzhong shook her hand, suggesting that she should be at ease.
The herb dealer said: "It's just a matter of besieging the city, and it's okay to talk about it for ten days and a half months." If they had been around for a year or two, wouldn't I have lost even the capital......
The person at the other table picked up his words: "It's hard to say whether Xuzhou can resist for a year or two!" According to the rules of this dynasty, the vassal king is not allowed to raise private soldiers. Besides, not long after Prince An arrived in Xuzhou, where would there be anyone under him? The soldiers of the Xuzhou garrison are seven or eight thousand, and they will definitely not be able to beat them. Besides, if Xuzhou is really trapped, these soldiers alone will have to eat all the grain stocks in Xuzhou, where can they last so long. ”
Pei Minzhong took the wine jug, added wine to the man who had just returned from the south, and said, "Lao Jia asks, is Xuzhou already surrounded?" A few of us are going to go to our relatives, and if that's the case, it's going to be difficult. ”
The man drank the wine, frowned, and said, "How can you make good rice wine so sweet?" ”
Pei Minzhong said: "Brother southerners, I can't get used to the smell of rice wine, so I let the store add some things into it." ”
The man said: "Oh, that's what you drink, don't you add to it!" ”
The people at his table smiled and said: "You drink other people's wine, and you still pick and choose, why don't you hurry up and tell others, just when people invite you to drink for nothing?" ”
The man laughed: "That's right! I said, little brother, it's better for you to make another plan as soon as possible. Xuzhou is now impassable by water and land, and the boats on the canal come and go, and Liu Guangsheng doesn't care. But as long as you dare to get close to Xuzhou, it is a capital crime to kill your head. Who knows how long Xuzhou will be besieged......"
Another person interjected: "I heard that Prince An sent a messenger to contact Wang Jintang, the commander of Huguang, maybe Liu Guangsheng won't take advantage of it this time." ”
The man said proudly: "Wow! I know that! The maiden cousin of the daughter-in-law of my third aunt and uncle is married to a porter in King An's Mansion. That Wang Jintang replied early, saying that he wanted Prince An to show some sincerity, so that he could rest assured that he would send troops over to solve the difficulty. ”
"When the first emperor was there, he issued an edict five times and three times to let Wang Jintang enter the king of Jingqin, and he didn't even move his nest. Now that King An invites him, he willing? ”
The man said unhappily: "You interrupted halfway through what you said, it's strange if you can guess!" The sincerity that Wang Jintang wants is to ask Prince An to marry his daughter as a princess! ”
The people at the surrounding tables were attracted by this, leaned over one after another, and asked in a gossipy voice: "Does Prince An agree?" Didn't he come out after marrying in the capital? ”
"Wang Jintang forced people to marry his daughter so much, is he a character like Dong Shi's mother-in-law?"
The man waved his hand and said, "I don't know if his daughter is handsome and ugly, but at that time, Princess An was seven or eight months pregnant, and Prince An was very tight, so he rejected Wang Jintang in one bite." ”
"Refused!" There was a sigh of sigh from the people around.
"That's useless! People are too strong to die! The man sighed, "It's the siege of the city and the husband is forced to remarry, where can Princess An stand it, she has already given birth to a son, and her body has collapsed." I heard my concierge relatives say that the doctors in Xuzhou City have all been invited to King An's Mansion, but the princess's heart is gone, even if Hua Tuo is reincarnated, she is also cured, but she can't be cured! ”
"Prince An is really a loving and righteous person. It's just that in this way, how to solve the predicament of Xuzhou? ”
"Unless a god descends from the sky, I don't think it's a show......"
Xuan Huiyin's hands in his sleeves were tightly twisted together, Yang Yunshu was also a son! She forcibly suppressed the trembling of her voice and asked the man, "Dare to ask the honorable driver, what name did Prince An give to that little prince?" ”
The man glanced at Xuanhui strangely and said, "This little brother is very special when he sees things, this is a war here, and it is human life, why do you only consult the names of other people's children?" It seems to be a single name with the word '濯', the clear 濯. (To be continued.) )
