Chapter 548: It's really a souvenir
shouted hello, Cai Jing praised Tian Shiyi, and even said, "Disturbing the rights and wrongs of the world, officials consciously save their worries."
Tian Shiyi smiled on his face, but he was scolding in his heart. Can't these people talk well, it's really tiring to listen to it, if it hadn't been a while since they traveled to the Great Song Dynasty, they really wouldn't understand the meaning of these words.
Cai Jing praised himself for not being self-motivated, which always had to be polite, but Tian Shiyi said, "It is said that human nature is complicated, but I call it prosperous", which won Cai Jing's high praise again.
After chatting for a while, Cai Jing's heart felt more comfortable. The young man in front of him seems to be straightforward, and he has never even mentioned a word of a saint in his mouth, but every time his views are novel, he can often trigger associations. In addition, Tian Shiyi was young but not frivolous, and seeing that the Taishi was neither restrained nor flattering, that spirit actually made Lao Cai Tou appreciate it from the bottom of his heart.
If you are in a good mood, you will consciously or unconsciously say a few words from your heart. Cai Jingyan said: Several adults in the DPRK and China seem to have some misunderstandings with Tian Xian's nephew, if there is a verbal insult, the virtuous nephew should not worry. They are all old people, and it doesn't matter if they say a few words, everyone comes from a young age, and suffering losses is not necessarily a bad thing.
Cai Jing's words can be regarded as mentioning something, but with the temperament of Brother Eleven, if he doesn't say something amazing, I'm afraid he will have to write the word "Tian" upside down.
"They must have scolded me because they didn't know me, but everyone who knew me wanted to beat me." Tian Shiyi said.
Cai Jing, who was in good spirits, was stunned for a moment, and felt that this was a little strange, why did this Tian Shiyi give people a very underwhelming feeling, it sounded like a dream.
Not daring to give Cai Jing time to think, Tian Shiyi hurriedly said that because he was in a hurry, he didn't have time to prepare any gifts, but just brought a little souvenir to Taishi.
But whoever gives gifts, no matter what they say, says that it is a local specialty, and Tian Shiyi's words sound fine. It's just that Taishi Cai wouldn't have thought that what Tian Shiyi gave him was really a local specialty.
After greeting for a while, Tian Shiyi got up to say goodbye, and he couldn't be sent out of the house because of the gap between Cai Jing and Tian Shiyi.
Seeing that Tian Shiyi was gone, Cai Jing hurriedly asked the housekeeper to bring in the souvenirs sent by Tian Shiyi.
The toad cup has always been sold in the sea area under the jurisdiction of Changguo, since it is a gift from Tian Shiyi, even if it is not a toad cup, it must not be light. What's more, the bigwigs in the court know that the treasures looted by Manichaeism are all taken by Tian Shiyi, and this Tian Shiyi is very rich.
The servant brought up a large wooden box, and the housekeeper hurriedly reached out to open the box, and then was stunned there.
Cai Jing is over seventy years old, and he is talking about him with old eyes. The windows of Cai's mansion were not equipped with glass, and the light in the room was a little dim, so Cai Jing had to ask the housekeeper what Tian Shiyi had sent.
The housekeeper opened his mouth several times, and seeing that Taishi Cai was already impatient, he stammered and said, "In the box...... It's a wine urn, a big wine urn, porcelain. ”
The housekeeper said that it was porcelain, just to tell his master that it was just an ordinary wine urn, not a glassy treasure like a toad cup.
Wine urns are originally used to hold wine, and it makes no sense to put wine urns in boxes. Cai Jing's face did not change color, and asked the housekeeper to open the mud seal of the wine urn to see what was in the urn.
The mud seal is not old, the housekeeper opened the mud seal, and a fishy smell gushed out.
Cai Jing covered his mouth and nose with the handkerchief handed by the servant, and ordered the butler to check what was in the big urn.
The butler resisted the urge to vomit, put his hand into the large urn, and found that the urn full of fishy smell was only water.
Hearing that the big urn might be filled with seawater, Cai Jing remembered what Tian Shiyi had just said. "It's just a souvenir."
Taishi Cai suddenly had an urge to scold his mother at this time, is seawater also a local specialty? Even if you brought this sea water from Changgu, it is not a specialty, at least you can get some seafish, seaweed, kelp and other things to be considered a specialty. No, will this master still lack some seafood?
With a "snap", Cai Jing's palm slapped on the table, and his face turned blue with anger.
Although the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, everyone in the world knows that Taishi Cai loves money, and you really sent an urn of water over, and it is not clear water, but stinky water. Even if this foul-smelling sea water was brought from Changguk, what was the use? Can you drink or eat?
In fact, Cai Jing really wronged Tian Shiyi, with Tian Shiyi's lazy temperament, how could he bring an urn of seawater from Changguo. The water in the urn was originally the well water that was brought up last night, and in order to make it look like seawater, I found several stinky sea fish and soaked them all night, so that it would be fishy and smelly.
asked people to immediately carry the stinky water urn out, Cai Jing smelled the fishy smell in the house, and even had the intention of killing, but he didn't think about it, but someone reported it, saying that Tian Shiyi sent someone to send a brocade box over.
first sent an urn of stinky water, and then a brocade box, Cai Jing gritted his teeth and almost threw the brocade box out. But then I thought about it, if there was a toad cup in the brocade box, wouldn't it be broken?
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Cai Jing asked someone to send a brocade box in, and opened it in front of him, only to find that it was a smaller soft box inside, along with a letter.
Cai Jing's eyes were very bright, so he asked the housekeeper to read the letter for him.
The housekeeper opened the letter and read aloud: "Shi Xin broke out of prison and took more than a dozen kinds of water spirits to enter. By such as the money big, the shape of mica, and the quality is very thin, with gold inlaid wheels, the combination of the button is one, the difference is two, the old man is not arguing with the fine book, Zhang this thing in the eyes, the word is doubled. ”
The more Cai Jing listened, the brighter his glasses became, but the housekeeper stammered, and then continued to read: "Okay, to talk about people, these are reading glasses made of crystal, and you can read the details when you wear them." It's the only one of its kind in the world today. ”
Listening to the housekeeper finish reading Tian Shiyi's letter, Cai Jing's hands trembled. After he was driven home by the emperor to retire, all he wanted was to return to the court and re-ascend to the throne. But he is so old that he can't even read the official documents and the recitals of the ministers, even if Zhao Guanjia is willing to let him be the prime minister again, there is no way to deal with this official business. If the "reading glasses" in this soft box are really as Tian Shiyi said, doesn't that mean that the biggest obstacle no longer exists?
Because he was old and dazzled, Cai Jing didn't dare to do it himself, but asked the housekeeper to open the soft box.
The housekeeper took out the reading glasses from the soft box and studied them for a long time, and then put them on the bridge of his nose for Taishi Cai.
Cai Jing put on the glasses and suddenly felt that his eyes were clear, and he hurriedly found a book on the table, opened it and read it carefully.
