It was almost noon, and all the work had begun. Zeng Yuanzi invited the two envoys of the mission and Chen Fenglin, the commander of the army, to the banquet, thinking that they would catch the wind and wash the dust. The dust washing banquet is also a tradition in the Great Song Dynasty, for which various prefectures, counties, and yamen have special expenses, which can be said to be extremely normal official activities, and of course, it is also legal public funds to eat and drink.

Because yesterday, Gao Yingsong and Zhuang Gongzhe, the two envoys, politely declined, which made Zeng Yuanzi think nonsense for a long time. Although they represent the system department and the marshal's office, and belong to the 'Qincha' office, it is said that they still have the title of governor on their heads, and they can be called their superiors. And Jiang Xuan is a road transfer envoy, and it is said that he is at the same level as Gao Yingsong's punishment, but he still has the hat of Wang Fu Yishan on his head, and inviting them to dinner is considered condescending, but he didn't expect that neither of them would give face.

Therefore, Zeng Yuanzi felt that something was wrong, and he was worried that the two of them would not be able to enter the oil and salt, let alone let them say some good things, even if they had some words, they would have nowhere to start. And then put on a straight face and do business, then these things you do are really hard to hide, if you really want to get to the front of the palace, you can't eat and walk around. But I didn't expect it to go smoothly today, except for Chen Fenglin who said that he wanted to dispatch soldiers to load and unload materials and had no time to separate, the two envoys readily agreed to go to the banquet.

Of course, Zeng Yuanzi was very happy, he was sure that as long as there was one, there would be two times, and the few times they were born and became relatives, and then with some means, there would be nothing that could not be done. Therefore, although he repeatedly claimed that the place was poor and there were no good things, there were many people flying in the sky, running on the ground, and swimming in the water, and there was no shortage of silk and bamboo singing and dancing. Rao is two of them have seen some of the world and secretly shook their heads, His Royal Highness has made such a big fortune, and he has not put such a table on it, please everyone.

And this dust-washing banquet is said to be a public banquet, but it looks more like a private banquet, and there are not many people involved. There are four people in the Shuaifu plus Jiang Xuan and Zhuang Siqi, and in addition to Zeng Yuanzi and Huazhou Zhizhou, there are only two officials who accompany them. Although the personnel are comparable, the amount of alcohol is obviously incomparable, and Zeng Yuanzi is very good, for a while for the revival of the Great Song Dynasty, for the Queen Mother Sheng'an, and for His Majesty for a while...... Anyway, it's all a reason that you can't refuse, and after a few rounds, Gao Yingsong and the others are a little drunk.

"Lord Gao, how is Your Highness doing?" Jiang Xuan didn't refuse today, his face was flushed, and he asked with his tongue open.

"Your Highness is all right, I am busy with my homework every day, and I have to review official documents, so I don't have time at all!" Gao Yingsong replied with a smile.

"Hehe, then His Highness must be complaining again, did he sneak out of the house again?" Jiang Xuan said with a smile.

"Jiang Yishan still understands His Royal Highness, and he often complains a few words when he discusses in the hall, but it's not easy to get out, and Master Yuan Miao is sitting in the mansion!" Gao Ying said loosely.

"Haha, if you want to escape Master Yuan Miao's eyes, it is indeed not easy, Your Highness has a lot of brains!" Jiang Xuan laughed when he heard this.

"Why is Lord Jiang so happy to hear that His Highness is deflated?" Zeng Yuanzi had never seen Jiang Xuan laugh like this, and asked puzzledly.

"Lord Zeng doesn't know." Jiang Xuan took a sip of wine and stopped laughing, "Master Yuan Miao is a member of the royal family, but he loves martial arts and is obsessed, so in addition to the jade book to enter Quanzhou Shaolin to practice, learn a peerless martial arts, you are the elder of the temple, after the change in Quanzhou, the temple was destroyed and was taken in by His Royal Highness, teaching him to practice martial arts." Although His Highness is small, he is smart and clever, but which child likes to be trapped in the house. So His Royal Highness often sneaks out to play while people are unprepared, but if it is not peaceful today, how can people rest assured, so everyone is very sad. ”

"Hehe, I see! But no matter how smart His Highness is, he is only seven years old, and what tricks can he play, he still needs a master like Master Yuan Miao to take care of him! Jiang Xuan talked eloquently, but Zeng Yuanzi was unhappy, he had nothing to say to chat with him in the past, but he never said a word except for business. But when it comes to His Royal Highness, it is endless, so that he can't tell whether he is envious or jealous of this child, so his words can't help but be prickly!

"Eh, Lord Zeng's words are wrong! His Royal Highness's intelligence is absolutely incomparable, even you and I are not as good as what ......if," Jiang Xuan said unhappily when he heard this.

"Yes, Your Highness is very naughty, not to mention the two adults, even if you add all the people on our seat, you can't compare!" Without waiting for Jiang Xuan to finish speaking, Gao Yingsong grabbed the conversation and said, "I remember that when I was in Guangzhou City, His Royal Highness sneaked out twice, and I don't know how he escaped the layers of vigilance. ”

"Then did you find Your Highness in the end?" Zeng Yuanzi asked with great interest.

"Alas, Guangzhou City is so big, where can I find it, and in the end, His Royal Highness himself sneaked back to the mansion again, so it was settled." Gao Yingsong sighed and complained again, "I just entered the city at that time, and there were a lot of things, everyone was busy, and His Royal Highness was still ...... In the Second Heaven Discussion I remember, Jiang Yishan and Deng Shiyu also advised His Highness to restrain some playfulness, but there was a dispute and they were reprimanded by Fu Shuai, right? ”

"Children are stubborn, and it is common for parents to hit them a few times. Jiang Yishan is a king's teacher, and it is impossible to teach a few words, and Fu Shuai is too spoiled. Zeng Yuanzi raised his glass and invited everyone to toast the wine in the glass, and hugged Jiang Xuan unfairly.

"Lord Zeng can't say that, His Highness has already suffered enough, and he has had several adventures, so it's understandable that he is naughty. Now that I have to support the affairs of a house at a young age, it is inevitable that I will lose my temper, I am too demanding, and Fu Shuai has taught me a lesson. Jiang Xuan drank the wine, put down the glass, and shook his head thoughtfully.

"It is said that strict teachers make high apprentices, and it is also good for Lord Jiang to be strict with His Royal Highness, so what's wrong!" Although Jiang Xuan said this, Zeng Yuanzi still felt deeply unfair for him.

"Now that the Shuai Mansion has just moved to Qiongzhou, Fu Shuai and the attendants must be very busy, have your Highness's homework been delayed?" Jiang Xuan didn't seem to appreciate Zeng Yuanzi's kindness, so he asked again.

"It's alright! I heard that Fu Shuai and Deng Shiyu taught His Highness the scriptures and strategies respectively, and took turns to teach His Highness homework for an hour every day, but it was inevitable that things would be delayed for a few days. Gao Yingsong said.

"Yes, now Qiongzhou has to build a city, strengthen coastal defense, train soldiers, and rectify the rule of officials, and is so busy that it is dizzy. Master Gao is leaving, Deng Shiyu wants to rectify military discipline and take care of the affairs of the prison, but I am afraid that there will be no time to sleep when I am busy, so I am afraid that His Highness will be the happiest! Zhuang Gongzhe interjected and laughed.

"How can His Highness's homework be delayed...... Alas, it's all my fault! Jiang Xuan listened to the urgent words, but in a blink of an eye, he realized something, took the wine and drank it all and sighed in a low voice...... (To be continued.) )
