1091 Marriage
The world knows that Jinan has three major scenic spots, known as the Thousand Buddha Mountain of Lishan, and later called Baotu Spring, and called Daming Lake, but now it is also known as the North Lake or the West Lake.
With the recovery of the north, the name of the West Lake is now gradually not mentioned in Jinan Mansion because of the name of the orthodox West Lake in Lin'an, whether it is the people or the government, now they prefer to call it the North Lake, thus forming the meaning of echoing the West Lake of Lin'an.
Although the North Lake is much smaller than the West Lake in Lin'an, it is precisely because of its small scale that it is even more chic against the backdrop of various pavilions and pavilions and stone bridges.
The surroundings are also full of various shops and restaurants, and it is precisely because of the large number of tourists that the North Lake has the lively scene of Lin'an West Lake.
Ye Qing and Xin Qiji each took a carriage to Changfeng Tower in Beihu, where they feasted the envoys of the Jin and Mongols tonight.
Mo Xiaobao and Jia Shi said to the carriage behind them while driving: "There are more than 1,000 people in the Jin envoy group, the one you are looking for is called Yelu Chucai, and he has already found it, but he is in his twenties, and now he is just a member of the Jin Kingdom's left and right health department, and he doesn't have any real power." ”
"Today, Wanyan Yongji can let this person accompany him to Changfeng Tower?" Ye Qing sat in the carriage and began to think about how to keep Yelu Chucai in Jinan, or to win him over.
The main reason why Ye Qing wanted to win over Yelu Chucai was not because of Yelu Chucai's ability, but because Yelu Chucai's development trajectory became the right-hand man under Temujin's command when the Jin Kingdom was defeated.
Therefore, regardless of whether Yelu Chucai is really as talented as recorded in the history books, Ye Qing does not want Yelu Chucai to one day be recruited by Temujin as he did in history.
Ye Qing thought about recruiting Yelu Yixue or Yelu Yue to come to Jinan Mansion to help him win over Yelu Chucai in terms of clan identity, but as Dong Chao told him more news about Yelu Chucai's family, he became hesitant.
Although the Yelu Chucai clan is also a Liao clan, they have been living under the rule of the Jin State since Yelu Chucai's grandparents, just like many young people as big as Yelu Chucai in the north today, the first thing they identified after birth was the Dajin Dynasty, so if they want them to "recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors", they obviously cannot fundamentally convince Yelu Chucai by relying only on the Liao royal family that has died in the country.
Even if you are not careful, it may be counterproductive, so in this way, under Ye Qing's hesitation, it is better to win over this Yelu Chucai yourself.
Although the difficulty is also not small, but in any case, the possible consequences of wooing him are completely mature for him, after all, if he really can't be wooed, then just fabricate a crime and put him under house arrest in Jinan Mansion.
In short, Ye Qing would never watch Temujin become like a tiger, even if Temujin may not have crossed paths in this era because of his own interference and the oppression of the Jin Kingdom.
But since Ye Qing was in Lin'an, he once again verified that some of the original historical events had not changed due to his own interference, so he didn't dare to take it lightly.
So now, even if the Mongols will not attack gold before Ye Qing, no one knows whether there will be other situations that will follow, so they still conform to the original historical trajectory, allowing Yelu Chucai and Temujin to intersect.
"A little outsider, who is qualified to participate in today's banquet, is in the post house like most other Jin people, and did not follow King Wei Shao to this Changfeng Tower." Mo Xiaobao leaned against the carriage and turned his head slightly and said.
There was endless silence in the carriage, and Mo Xiaobao was not in a hurry, he couldn't hear the sound of talking in the carriage, so he focused his attention on the brightly lit streets, there were still many shops and pedestrians on both sides, but compared with Lin'an, it was a little more deserted.
However, just compared with Jinan that was just captured a few years ago, Jinan is now prosperous and lively everywhere in Jinan.
The carriage stopped in front of the door of Changfeng Tower, although there was no sign of the government, but the entire Changfeng Tower was still wrapped up by Jinan Mansion tonight.
So after Ye Qing and Xin Qiji got out of the carriage, the shopkeeper of Changfeng Building ran over as soon as possible.
I don't know Ye Qing, but I am very familiar with Xin Qiji, and after Xin Qiji's introduction, the expression of the shopkeeper of Changfeng Building flashed a trace of imperceptibility
was surprised, and then immediately saluted Ye Qing.
However, the three-story Changfeng Building, every room is brightly lit tonight, standing outside and looking at the windows that are all lit, although I know that there is no one in it, but it still makes people feel a trace of the liveliness and hustle and bustle of the restaurant, and I don't feel that because there is only one table of guests tonight, the atmosphere seems a little cold.
Greeted the shopkeeper of Changfeng Building lightly, and then under the personal leadership of the showcase, Ye Qing took the lead in walking to the largest box on the second floor, while Xin Qiji continued to stand in front of the restaurant, waiting for the arrival of Wanyan Yongji, Mu Huali, and Borshu.
The so-called good wine in Ye Qing's mouth of a jar was also moved to the room on the second floor by Mo Xiaobao from the carriage, and Ye Qing at this time signaled Mo Xiaobao to open a jar, looked at the respectful shopkeeper of Changfeng Building on the side with a smile, and asked, "What is the shopkeeper's surname?" ”
"Don't dare, if you go back to Lord Ye, the little one's surname is Lu, and he has a cheap name and wealth." The shopkeeper of Changfeng Building replied with a smile.
"Lu Youcai? It's a good name, no wonder you can afford to open such a luxurious restaurant on the shore of North Lake. Ye Qing praised Lu Youcai with a smile, and then pointed to the wine that Mo Xiaobao had poured into the cup, and said, "How about the shopkeeper Lu taste it?" ”
The shopkeeper Lu, who was flattered in an instant, looked panicked, and his hands shook in front of his chest like a swing: "Don't dare, don't dare, don't dare, how can the adult's wine be qualified to ......." ”
"If you want to taste it, you can taste it, how can there be so much nonsense." Mo Xiaobao said impatiently on the side.
Ye Qing turned his head and glared at Mo Xiaobao, then patted Lu Youcai's shoulder, turned around and sat down at the round table of Nuoda, moved the glass of wine to Lu Youcai's hand, and said: "My Great Song Dynasty has always only allowed the government to make wine, and the people are only allowed to sell wine but not wine, of course, as far as I know, there are many restaurants in private that will secretly make wine, and then launch their own proud works to attract business." As for the ...... of Changfeng Building. ”
"No, absolutely not." Lu Youcai didn't wait for Ye Qing to finish speaking, and immediately shook his head like a rattle and denied it again and again: "The villain never dared to make wine ...... in private." ”
But even so, Lu Youcai could still smell it slightly, and when Ye Qing pushed the glass of wine to a distance of only a foot in front of him, the tip of his nose already smelled the strong aroma of wine.
"Whether to brew or not, I won't pursue it, Shopkeeper Lu doesn't have to be so nervous. Ye just wants you to taste it to see if this wine is to your liking and whether it can be favored by the people. Ye Qing pointed to the glass of wine again, and Lu Youcai's attention was gradually attracted by the glass of wine because of the smell of wine that began to slowly fill the room.
Ye Qing is not greedy for cups, and even on weekdays, he rarely drinks alcohol, so even when he was teaching Yan Tingcheng to make that perfume, he didn't bother to make wine for money.
What's more, he didn't have more power at that time, once he used more reasonable technology to brew thicker and purer spirits, it would be the imperial court that was cheaper at that time, and this kind of monopoly power and wealth would never fall into his hands.
So even in these days of the Northern Expedition, Ye Qing never had the idea of making wine, until he returned to Jinan this time, after deeply understanding Jinan and suddenly remembering that the threshold spring is the Baotu Spring, he involuntarily gave birth to the idea of making wine.
Similarly, Yangzhou now has a unique industry led by perfume and soap, and after Zhong Da Mei followed her to Jinan, she thought of her son Zhong Ye in Yangzhou every day, which naturally made Ye have the idea of finding something to do for Zhong Da Meiren.
In this way, he will not often mutter in front of himself: I don't know how Ye Er is doing in Yangzhou, I don't know if he will think of his mother and me, you don't send someone to take a look, etc., so that Lord Ye's head is the voice of Zhong Da Meiren hovering back and forth from morning to night.
Originally, the intellectual and gentle, peerless beauty, after having a child, there have been unbelievable changes that make Ye Qing unbelievable, although the appearance is still beautiful and moving, but now the heart is almost all on Zhong Ye's body, so Lord Ye thought about it, and had to quickly think of finding something to divert Zhong Damei's attention, lest a woman who was originally intellectual and gentle become an old mother who only has a son in her heart.
For Ye Qing, who is not good at wine tasting, after a few days of tinkering in the house, after distilling a pot that is enough for Xin Qijian to drink fragments, and after waking up, he can't recall the scene when he drank, and he will only be reprimanded by Fan Ruyu
Only by accepting can we open a financial road.
Under Ye Qing's expectant gaze, Lu Youcai carefully picked up the wine glass, looking at the liquor that was pure and free of impurities, and the pungent aroma of wine instantly rushed from the tip of his nose to his head, he couldn't help but tremble his hands slightly, and after glancing at Ye Qing, he was surprised: "What a strong wine, Lord Ye." ”
"Taste it, taste it and see if the people will like it?" Ye Qing was not much different from the other officials of the Song Court at this time.
Because of the relationship between the government and the government, the Song court used the strategy of encouraging drinking for most of the people, so in the Song Dynasty, the prevalence of drinking was no less than that of any dynasty, and because of the encouragement of the imperial court, various wine orders became popular in the Song Dynasty.
Taking a sip of the wine glass, Lu Youcai instantly let out an unbelievable exclamation, not like Ye Qing when he took the first sip, his facial features were wrinkled together as if he was drinking poison, but after Lu Youcai took a sip, his eyes became brighter.
He opened his eyes wide and looked at the wine in his hand in surprise, and then looked at Ye Qing and gave a thumbs up and said, "Good wine!" Wine! Lord Ye, this wine is so strong, it is really a rare wine. ”
"Do you like it?" Ye Qing still asked with an expectant gaze.
Lu Youcai didn't look at Lord Ye so scary, and he didn't take out his official micro to scare him like other officials, but instead seemed to be approachable to succeed to the throne, so he nodded and drank the wine in the cup again.
Take a long breath, recalling the residual aroma of wine in his mouth, and said to Ye Qing with a satisfied face: "Good wine!" Wine! Lord Ye is worthy of being a person who understands wine, and the little one has never been ....... ”
"This altar will be given to you, and other guests can try it in a few days, if it is good...... I can let your restaurant sell this kind of wine from now on, how about it? Ye Qing picked up another glass of wine that Mo Xiaobao poured for him, but he put it in front of the tip of his nose and smelled it, and the strong and pungent smell of wine immediately drilled into his mind.
"It's ......." Lu Youcai was shocked by Ye Qing's generosity, and he didn't know what to say, so he hurriedly saluted Ye Qing and said: "Thank you Lord Ye, thank you Lord Ye, the little one is really a great honor, and the little one dares to guarantee that this wine will definitely make other guests ......like it." ”
And when Ye Qing was selling this wine to the first restaurant, below the Changfeng Restaurant, Wanyan Yongji and Mu Huali, with their entourage, had also arrived at this time, and after getting out of the car and saying a few words to Xin Qiji, they walked towards the box on the second floor where Ye Qing was.
At the same time, in Shi Miyuan's mansion in Lin'an, Shi Miyuan was still thinking hard about how to use Ye Qing to take the initiative to submit the chapter and take the initiative to build the Kaifeng Palace to make a fuss.
And there was another thing that made him feel extremely depressed and had to be resolved as soon as possible, which made it difficult for him to feel comfortable in the past few days.
In the fight for the dispatch of the Lin'an pacification envoy, Zheng Qingzhi finally failed to get his wish, in the past few days, while keeping a distance from him Shi Miyuan, he has actually gotten closer and closer to Xie Shenfu and others, and he has the intention of drawing a clear line with him Shi Miyuan and being with Xie Shenfu, Liuzheng and others.
The door of the study was knocked gently, and after Shi Miyuan signaled to come in, he looked up and saw that under the leadership of the subordinates, the current secretary of Shangshu Lou Key walked in.
"The key to the lower official building has seen Lord Zuo Xiang." After the key to the building saluted, without waiting for Shi Miyuan to ask, he said directly: "I heard some officials talking about Zheng Qing today. ”
"Oh? What did they say? Shi Miyuan frowned slightly.
For Zheng Qingzhi, Shi Miyuan had attached great importance to it before, but now that Zheng Qingzhi is drifting away from him, Shi Miyuan still has some frustration in his heart.
"Zheng Qingzhi went to Xie Shenfu's mansion, it is said that he did not want to get together with Xie Shenfu, or hoped to get close to Liuzheng through Xie Shenfu, but his real purpose was to marry Xie Shenfu." Lou Jian looked at Shi Miyuan, who was frowning, and said.
He somewhat had Shi Miyuan's feelings about Zheng Qing's affairs, and his subordinates, who were originally entrusted with important tasks, immediately turned their faces and denied people because they couldn't get the dispatch they wanted, and gradually distanced themselves from him, which made Shi Miyuan feel a sense of anger that he had been betrayed.
"Marriage? Xie Shenfu only has three sons, and he has never heard of a daughter...... Shi Miyuan frowned, and the shadow of Xie Daoqing who came with Ye Qing appeared in his mind when he was out of the teahouse.
"It is Xie Shenfu's granddaughter, that is, Xie Daoqing, the only daughter of Jiaxing Tongju Xie Qubo." The key to the building further explained to Shi Miyuan.
