Chapter 038: A Costly Feast
Walking out of the palace, Zhao Xing saw his three hundred Junqiu squatting on the street, looking around with a blank face.
So Zhao Xing happily announced to the three hundred of his own arms: "Now I am a national teacher, a false appearance, and a prince of Xingzi, and now we have Heyang Garden, which is rewarded by the monarch in the country." Let's go home and walk. ”
Zhao Wujian was extremely happy, and yelled at his brothers: "Let's go, go home." Then he stared at Zhao Xing, because no one knew where his home was.
So, Zhao Xing trotted to the palace gate, and asked the head of the guard very embarrassedly: "May I ask this general, how to go to Heyang Palace, the current Heyang Garden?"
The general respectfully led the way for this freshly baked nobleman and brought Zhao Xing and his three hundred soldiers to Heyang Garden.
Heyang Garden is very large, to the point of outrageousness, and it is more than enough to accommodate three hundred people. Especially in this garden, there is a huge garden. Zhao Xing decided that the workshop where he made terracotta figurines was built here, and he ruined the heavens? Anyway, it's not his own, and he won't stay here for long, so whatever.
I have a place to live, but there are still a lot of things missing, but I don't have to care about these details, everything is easy to do with money. The money and jewelry that were pulled out from Gongzi Jie's house were about cars. Money is for a nourishing life, and jewelry is for bribes. How do you get along with people for the first time? Bribery and gifts. Zhao Xing is ready to reform the Zhao State and make the Zhao State strong. But reform offends people and seeks death. Zhao Xing doesn't want to end well, so he must first make a good relationship and form a party to open the way for private money.
As a result, just as he was about to form a party for personal gain, the housekeeper of the eunuch order came with a carriage to invite him.
The eunuch ordered Liao Chong to come so courteously, the reason is that time is urgent, starting tomorrow, the whole country will hold a funeral, stop all feasting and entertainment, and have to seize the time to win over Zhao Xing, the monarch of the country.
Once a son of heaven and a courtier, although Liao Chong is a eunuch order, he is the eunuch order of the first king, Zhao Yong originally had a eunuch housekeeper when he was in the prince's palace, according to reason, the chicken dog ascended to heaven, and his position as a eunuch was in jeopardy. What's wrong with committing a crime and killing people together, this can only be regarded as an accomplice, not a confidant.
He wanted to win over Zhao Xing, and asked Zhao Xing to speak on his behalf and keep his official position, and he had to get a yellow door order to do it no matter how much he didn't count.
The status of the Yellow Gate Order is inferior to that of the Eunuch Order. is regarded as the deputy of the eunuch order, and he is in charge of the palace guards and other things.
Liao Chong's housekeeper said respectfully: "My master sent a little one to ask Mr. to fulfill the banquet and drink covenant, and specially prepared a carriage to invite him." ”
Zhao Xing returned the salute: "Thank you for your kindness, I'm tired of the housekeeper." Then he called Zhao Wuji: "Three hundred brothers settle down well, and the money in the car is as you spend." Remember, make sure the brothers have enough meat to eat, but they are not allowed to drink alcohol, do not go out of the garden at will, and do not cause trouble. If you make a mistake, you will be expelled immediately, leaving no one behind. ”
Zhao Wujian immediately knelt down in fear and promised.
I chose a pair of exquisite white walls in the jewelry car, and I don't know how much it was, so I took a small jade pendant and handed it to Liao Chong's housekeeper: "The first time we meet, it is not a respect." "Then he began to bribe people to win over people.
The housekeeper took it, he was Liao Chong's confidant, he had seen the world, just a glance, his hand shook, and he almost dropped the jade pendant to the ground.
It's so precious, even this small jade pendant is worth two catties of gold. It's really too generous to give such a heavy gift to a subordinate.
In fact, Zhao Xing doesn't know the goods, this is not the resin goods that will be all over the street in the future, this is the genuine Hetian mutton fat jade, if he knows that such a small piece of things is worth two catties of gold, he can chase this housekeeper eight streets to snatch back.
As a result, it was so unintentional to break the bank, but in exchange for a diehard loyalist later.
Boarding the carriage, sparkling forward, admiring the prosperity of Handan all the way, just when he was full of interest, Liao Chong's home arrived.
Liao Chong's home, magnificent and outrageous, two little maids came up in small steps to help Zhao Xing get out of the car, Liao Chong was already standing outside the gate and greeted him from afar, and Zhao Xing returned the salute. It's a worship. Then the two walked side by side, and when they walked into the courtyard, Zhao Xing saw that the huge courtyard was full of tables, and behind each table stood a person in various costumes, more than three hundred. These are Liao Chong's doormen, also called diners, just a group of people who have nothing to eat and drink for nothing, and who have something to give advice to the master's family.
As soon as the two appeared, Liao Chong introduced to you with a proud voice: "Everyone, this is the national teacher, the fake appearance, the acting county Xingjun, Zhao Xingzi." "Being called a son means that he has reached the pinnacle of achievement in a certain aspect, as for what aspect Zhao Xing has met this requirement, everyone is not clear, and it needs to be observed, because this son is Zhao Yongfeng, and there are some wild people who dare to feel.
The introduction, the dazzling name, moved the three hundred diners, and everyone bowed solemnly together.
Zhao Xing returned the salute with a smile, humble and calm.
Liao Chong secretly observed Zhao Xing, and saw that this newcomer was fortunate to be the monarch, and there was no trace of panic in the face of so many masters, and he seemed calm and elegant, and his demeanor was unparalleled for a while.
Joke, such a small scene, how can you calm Zhao Xing, who has seen the big names such as the principal and the street director, and experienced the big scene of the opening ceremony.
The two of them continued to move forward in the eyes of everyone, walked to the middle of the courtyard, stopped, turned around and saluted each other, which is called the second salute.
Then the two of them walked again, came to the steps of the lobby, and bowed to each other again, which is called the three salutes. This is the most solemn hospitality etiquette of the host.
Entering the lobby, Liao Chong sat facing west, and Zhao Xingxi sat facing east.
The two exchanged pleasantries, and then Zhao Xing presented the white wall in his sleeve: "A small gift, not a tribute, may it be as big as the white wall." ”
Liao Chong saw that Bai Bi was about to pick it up, but he suddenly stopped, his eyes were straight at that time, and then he reluctantly had to retract his hand.
The reason is that this white wall is so precious, and there are no more than three pieces in the palace he manages, which is really priceless.
According to the ancient rites, the gift is to return the same gift, and the priceless gift is to pack all his family property, including this mansion, and he can't afford to go out of the house, so he really doesn't dare to accept it.
Zhao Xing and Liao Chongqian let it for a long time, but in the end, it was only Zhao Xing's sincerity, and Liao Chong gritted his teeth and accepted it. He was ready to finish this meal and go to sleep on the streets.
Huang Zhong Da Lu sounded, the silk bamboo pipe Yue Qingyang, a group of graceful women sang and danced, and the light gauze was smeared red and beautiful.
Then the servant began to serve the wine and food.
Liao Chong entertained Zhao Xing according to the specifications of the above secretary, five tripods, four tripods and eight beans, of which the five tripods are cattle, sheep, pig skin (cut meat) and bacon, and the four tripods are wheat and small rice and grains. There are also eight beans, but not eight beans, it is a vessel called beans, and there are various side sauces in it.
This is really a bell food, and the luxury is outrageous.
