Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Great Shang Wei Martingale Skillfully Mediated

Aunt Mei asked the servant, "Are you ready?" ”

The servant bowed and replied, "All are ready, and the hounds have been shut up." Please go into the main room and rest. ”

Aunt Mei said, "Miss, sir, please come in." As he spoke, he walked up the stairs and pushed open the door, and the brightly lit main hall was very neat and elegant. Bai Xuewei took off his cloth boots and sat on the thick red carpet a few days ago, all of them breathing a long sigh of relief.

Aunt Mei served good tea, brought a large sheepskin picture and a bunch of keys, and said with a smile: "Miss, this is the picture of the villa that I want to come from my old family." There are a lot of houses, so I'll go and see the road first. Bai Xue said: "Go ahead." Aunt Mei pushed the door open and went inside.

Bai Xue took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "At the third watch, the elder of the family urgently sued me, saying that the book of the General's Mansion was leaked, and Pang Juan would force you to be a military affairs Sima tomorrow, and if you don't do it, you will be beheaded immediately." On a whim, I felt dangerous, and immediately went out of town. I didn't expect Pang Juan's people and horses to be behind, let alone the praying mantis catching cicadas, the yellow finch behind, and there was a mysterious figure behind. ”

Wei Ying nodded and groaned, "Pang Juan dispatched in advance, indicating that he suspected someone around him." The mysterious figure in the back, I can't guess the way. However, it can be asserted that it is by no means the head of the uncle's mansion. ”

When Qin Feng heard this, he also sighed, fortunately he didn't make a move before, otherwise I am afraid that there will be endless troubles.

"Look at what this person has done, it doesn't look like he has malicious intentions towards you."

Wei Ying smiled: "Don't worry, sooner or later you will know." ”

After the two discussed tomorrow's action plan, it was already five watches.

Bai Xue said: "You rest first, don't be in a hurry to get up, it's day and night." Aunt Mei and I will prepare it again. ”

After speaking, Aunt Mei came in and said, "Mr.'s bedroom is in the second place in the east room, and it has been prepared." ”

Bai Xue said: "Then take him over." Aunt Mei opened the small door on the left hand of the main hall, led Wei Ying through the living room, came to the bedroom, pointed to a purple screen and said: "Behind the screen is hot water, please rest after the bath." ”

Wei Ying said, "Thank you, girl." You go get busy. ”

Aunt Mei smiled: "If you have something, press this copper button next to the couch, and I will come immediately." Then he pulled the door and went out. Wei Ying took off his clothes, bathed in hot water in the large wooden barrel behind the screen, felt relaxed all over, and fell asleep as soon as he got on the bed.

Qin Feng also found a sheltered place nearby to sleep with clothes. Before Wei Ying entered Qin, he would not leave easily if it was not necessary. Because Wei Ying needs him to protect him in secret, otherwise, once he encounters an emergency, the future of the Qin State will not be cut off.

At noon the next day, Wei Ying woke up and opened his eyes, but saw Bai Xue standing in front of the couch with a smile in her hand, holding a new set of clothes in her hand and said, "This is made for you, try it on to see if it is suitable?" ”

Wei Ying smiled: "It's still the old one, I can't wear new clothes." ”

Bai Xue smiled: "If you want to be the general business of the business, can you always be clothed?" ”

Wei Ying said: "Okay, taste the taste of a merchant. ”

Bai Xue said: "I'll see it when I'm dressed." He walked out with a smile.

Qin Feng had just woken up at this time, and he skillfully picked up the plagiarism. Listen to the gear and start watching.

Wei Ying got dressed and came to the main hall, and Aunt Mei exclaimed repeatedly, "Hello, Mr. is a celestial person!" ”

Bai Xue smiled and nodded: "It's a pity that it's just a businessman's general matter, and I'm a little wronged." Aunt Mei shouted, "What's the general matter?" Sir is a great prime minister! ”

Wei Ying laughed, "Prime Minister, don't you know which country owns?" ”

Bai Xue smiled: "Isn't there a great good thing in the Qin Kingdom? Aunt Mei shouted: "Yes, just do a good job!" ”

Wei Ying laughed and said: "Okay, Aunt Mei's words are called Yanbu, so I will do a great good job!" ”

While the three of them were laughing and talking, the servant had already brought the meal, but it was a pair of wild sheep and radish soup, a plate of cakes, and a jue of wine.

Seeing that Qin Feng was a little hungry, fortunately he brought some dry food, and his cultivation was profound, and he would not even be fine if he didn't eat for ten days.

Wei Ying said: "You don't need to eat? ”

Bai Xue smiled, "We got up early and used it, you can use it yourself, I'll accompany you." ”

Wei Ying drank the wine first, and felt that the wine was slightly cold in the mouth, cool and refreshing, which made people feel refreshed, and couldn't help but admire, "Cool and sweet, good wine!" One more time. Aunt Mei poured another full one jue and said with a smile: "The third jue is limited, and you can't drink it again." ”

Wei Ying said: "But why? Bai Xue said with a smile: "This is a summer wine, it is extremely cold, and it should not be drunk more before meals." ”

Wei Ying smiled in surprise: "French wine? Good name, but I've never heard of it. ”

Bai Xue said: "The brewing of this wine is very exquisite, and the law is very strict. ”

Wei Ying drank again, and couldn't help but smile and ask: "But how to be strict?" Bai Xue said: "First, it can only be brewed on the third day of March in spring." Second, use three catties and three taels of spring wine koji, three buckets and three liters of deep well water, and three buckets and three liters of millet rice. Third, the dregs of the koji must not be eaten by dogs, pigs, sheep, chickens and mice, the water must be clear and clean, and the rice must be white and bright, otherwise the wine will turn black. Fourth, only three urns are allowed to be brewed each time, and then enter the cellar at three o'clock in the middle of the night, and hide until March three of the following year before opening. Fifth, drink the wine urn to half, add three liters of millet and three liters, do not pour water and add koji, and the wine urn will be full after three days. Competing for summer drinks cannot be exhausted, and the so-called miracles are also. ”

Wei Ying drank the third lord and said with emotion: "The wine is governed by law, and the wine is also wonderful, but what about people?" ”

Look at the plate of cakes again, but one side is golden, the other side is snow-white, I took a bite, it was crispy, crispy, soft and sweet, extremely delicious, and I couldn't help but admire again, "This cake is fat and sweet, is it also exquisite?" ”

Bai Xue smiled: "This is Aunt Mei's unique job, let her tell you." Aunt Mei chuckled and said, "Miss praises me, but in fact, Miss is doing better than me." This is called the marrow cake. Use the best beef bone marrow and honey to mix the dough, round into a dough cake with a thickness of five minutes and a diameter of six inches, and put it in the cake oven for half an hour, and do not turn it. This marrow cake is baked, it will not be broken for a long time, and it will be strong and light. ”

Wei Ying laughed heartily, "It seems that I am going to become an immortal." ”

Qin Feng thought to himself: "This kind of food, why haven't I eaten it in my world." ”

In the afternoon, Bai Xue accompanied Wei Ying for a stroll on the top of the mountain. Looking at the scattered hunting dwellings in the mountainside valley and the shirtless farmers sweating and cultivating outside the mountain, Wei Ying pondered for a long time and was silent. Bai Xue talked to him for a while, and the two returned to Baizhuang.

As twilight fell, a black horse galloped out of the valley. In the woods of Taniguchi, the rider changed into a blue wagon with a carriage like a small house and headed straight for Anyi Castle.

Qin Feng also hurriedly followed. Because he vaguely saw that the person in the car was Wei Ying. It's just that I don't know why Wei Ying went to Anyi at this time.

At the time of the lantern, the traffic on the heavenly street where the Prime Minister's Mansion is located is like a shuttle. The blue chariot drove until it reached the front of the Prime Minister's Mansion before stopping. The new owner of the Prime Minister's Mansion is Gongzi Wei, and the uncle's acne family has moved to another official residence given by King Wei Hui.

Since the Prime Minister's Mansion changed hands, it has been more lively and busy than before, and there is an endless stream of officials and nobles throughout the day. The strange thing is that tonight in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion is very quiet, and there is not a single car or a ride in the huge carriage and horse field.

As soon as the blue chariot stopped at the carriage and horse farm, the leader of the guards of the palace gate shouted inward: "Mr. Baimen General Affairs has arrivedβ€”β€”! When the report fell, I saw the old man of the Prime Minister's Mansion running out in broken steps, came to the front of the car and bowed deeply and said: "The little old man greets the distinguished guests on behalf of the Prime Minister, please sit down." ”

With that, he stepped into the car, asked the driver to sit aside, and drove in through the main entrance. The family is always the head of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he is extremely indifferent to ordinary high-ranking officials, but today he is very attentive, and he looked back and smiled while driving the car: "Mr. has a big face, the Prime Minister is closed tonight, and he is waiting for Mr." ”

Reserved laughter was heard from the car, but no words were spoken. In an instant, the cart drove to a small forest in the depths of the Xiangfu and stopped, and the old man got out of the car and said with a smile: "Please get out of the car, sir." ”

The man in the car walked out and calmly walked towards the wooden house in the forest. The old man was busy leading the way, but he was stopped by a young man in cloth in the car, handed him a leather bag and said with a smile: "Thank you for taking care of the old man." These are some of Mr. General's thanks. ”

The old man took the delicate leather bag and knew that this was a special money bag made by Baimen, and there were more than ten gold cakes in it. The old man was happy in his heart, hurriedly thanked him, turned around and ran to chase the general matter.

The wooden house in the forest is brightly lit, and you can see a person under the pillar in the distance, with a red coat and a high crown and big sleeves, which is clearly the son. When he saw someone coming from the road, he laughed and greeted him: "Brother Marting, don't come unharmed?" ”

Wei Ying arched his hand and smiled: "The son has been promoted to prime minister, which is gratifying." ”

"Yikes! Shibei three days, really impressive. Brother Martingale has truly stepped into the country of elegance and wealth. Gongzi pulled Wei Ying to look left and right under the corridor lamp, and found that Wei Ying, who had always been simple and noble, was actually a brocade dress and jade crown today, with a luxurious bearing, and he was a different person.

"Why should the prime minister be surprised, Wei Ying gave up studying and practicing business, deviated from the right path, and also entered the Tao and followed the customs, ashamed and ashamed."

"Why did Brother Martingale say this? Big businessmen are today's influential figures, who dares to underestimate them? I like to associate with merchants the most. Come, come, please go to the inner hall to speak. Gongzi took Wei Ying's hand and walked into the main hall with a smile.

The wine and food in the hall have been served, and Gongzi Wei enthusiastically said: "Brother Marting, please sit in the honorable guest seat." As soon as Wei Ying looked at the seating arrangement, he understood that Gongzi Wei no longer treated him as a person in the officialdom, but as a guest of the people.

During the Warring States Period, although the etiquette system was no longer cumbersome and pedantic, the dignity and humility were still extremely exquisite.

However, when people in the officialdom, including celebrities and celebrities, are on the north side of the throne, and the host is on the opposite side or on the east side. If it is a guest who is not an official, the guest must be seated in the west and facing in the east, and the host seat must be accompanied by the east and west.

Today's seat faces the east, which is naturally non-officialdom etiquette. There are two ways of sitting, the latter one is naturally one lower than the previous one, but the latter is not too rigid.

Qin Feng also quietly followed, he didn't know that Wei Ying actually dared to come to see Gongzi Wei, who was already the prime minister of Wei State. He naturally wanted to see what Wei Ying's plan was.
