Chapter 1040 Midnight Uninvited Guest (Asking for a Guaranteed Monthly Pass)
This day is the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is different from the previous Mid-Autumn Festival family reunions, this time the Mid-Autumn Festival Shenxi spent alone in the capital. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
After working for a long time, the problem of the sixteen women in the house was finally solved, so the family became a little more popular, and when Shen Xi returned home, he no longer felt lonely and lonely, but noisy and shouting, which made people have a headache, and gradually forgot the reality of spending the holiday alone.
Shen Xi was preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the evening, and the cooking skills of Yun Bo's two daughters-in-law really made Shen Xi dare not compliment.
Shen Xi's idea is very simple, first try to see if there are any of the sixteen new maids with outstanding cooking skills, let them spend an afternoon, everyone fry a dish, if the taste is good, then let them cook and prepare snacks for themselves in the evening, sing about the wine, pour themselves drinks, and invite Mingyue to become a trio.
If these maids are not good at cooking, he will go to the city wine shop and order a table of wine to bring back, and order a "takeaway".
As a result of the final experiment, Shen Xi honestly went to order takeout, and as for the dishes fried by the maids, they took them back by themselves, and the sixteen dishes were put together, and the dinner party could be regarded as sumptuous.
This incident made Shen Xi understand a truth, cooking skills are practiced, not only must be talented, but also must have guides, such as Hui Niang, Xiaoyu, Ning Er ingenious, but it is also inseparable from Shen Xi's hands-on guidance and practice day after day, so the genius girl Huang Rong in "A Certain Eagle" has no teacher and does not even enter the kitchen, Miss Qianjin, who cooks so many delicious dishes, only exists in novels.
If it weren't for Ning Er's promotion to "madam" now, Shen Xi really wanted to go to Xie Duo's Mansion to borrow Ning Er for a day, and let her come back to fry a few dishes for herself to deal with the festival.
The cabinet basically did things with Xie Qian, and there was no time to return home during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Xie Qian is not at home, although Shen Xi is the in-law of the Xie family, he can't "get together" with the Xie family's relatives.
Shen Xi didn't bother Xie Duo, put the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in his small courtyard, he didn't leave Yun Bo to drink two glasses together, since he was lonely and lonely, he was ready to be lonely to the end, let Mingyue accompany him, drink lightly, think about some old things, unconsciously a little sleepy, and didn't have the heart to clean up the table, and went back to the room to sleep.
As soon as he fell asleep, there was a "bang" sound outside, Shen Xi just squinted his eyes slightly, and then continued to fall asleep.
The sound of slamming the door became louder and louder, but at this time, Shen Xi was drunk, even if there was thunder and lightning outside, it had nothing to do with him, and he couldn't afford to sleep.
Just when Shen Xi was enjoying his sweet dream, he suddenly felt his body being shaken, Shen Xi woke up suddenly, Huo Ran sat up, and saw a woman with an anxious face, staring at him with wide eyes in front of the bed.
"Yun'er?"
Although the moon was bright outside, the room was a little dim, Shen Xi was drunk, and when he saw a body shape and clothes similar to Xie Yun'er, he instinctively thought that his wife had returned.
When he held his head and thought about it, he realized that something was wrong with the situation, Xie Yun'er couldn't return to the capital so early, and when he looked clearly, he found that it was a maid wearing Xie Yun'er's clothes.
"Do what?"
Shen Xi immediately shouted angrily, and the maid was so frightened that she stepped back, but she tripped over the coffee table, and the whole person fell to lie on several cases, rolled on them, and then fell to the ground after crossing several cases, and didn't get up halfway.
"Bang bang!" The sound of slamming the door outside continued, which made Shen Xi very annoyed, the maid was just making trouble for a while, why was it endless?
Is this going to tear down the house?
Thinking of "demolishing the house", Shen Xi looked out the window to see if the house was on fire......
There's no red light, there's no smoky smell, there's not even a burnt smell, so what's the point of such a fire? There is actually a maid who enters the house to disturb her dreams, what an evil door!
Shen Xi was going to get dressed, but he grabbed a blank spot at the head of the bed, only then did he realize that he was sleeping with his clothes, and he didn't even take off his boots, he jumped off the bed, stared at the maid who was sitting on the ground a little dazed, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"Old ...... Master. ”
The maid seemed to be very afraid of Shen Xi, and she couldn't speak.
Shen Xi no longer paid attention to the stupid maid, turned around and went out of the door, and came to the courtyard in front, only to know that the sound came from the gate, and the maid who had already settled down in the side courtyard next to the back garden was carrying lanterns at this time, supporting each other, standing behind the moon gate and watching.
"Lord Shen is at home?"
Someone outside was shouting, looking quite impatient, Shen Xi listened carefully, and didn't feel familiar, it didn't look like the voice of a male duck of a eunuch in the palace, so it wasn't a big incident in the palace.
Shen Xi thought to himself: "Who is so hateful, actually came to the door to disturb on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival?" ”
"Who?"
Shen Xi was already upset because of the quarrel of women in a yard, so he took a few steps forward and shouted angrily.
The answer was not to call the door to call "Lord Shen", but to call an old and strong voice: "I! ”
This voice is familiar to Shen Xi, isn't it Xie Qianxi, a scholar or who?
Only then did Shen Xi know that he was a dignified old man, and he was looking for someone to smash his door in the middle of the night, how much hatred and hatred was this?
Shen Xi was furious, but he had to step forward and open the door...... I saw that under the light of the torch, Xie Qian was looking at himself with an old face at this time.
Shen Xi coughed twice and asked, "Why did the elder visit late at night?" ”
Xie Qian choked angrily: "Why don't you come out to greet you if you know something?" Do you have to wait for the Beiyi soldiers to come to the city and the country to be ruined, so that you have the heart?! ”
This is very unpleasant, Shen Xi secretly thought, I am sleeping at home, or has it been rare to sleep soundly recently, not to mention that you ruined my dreams, and actually lost my temper with me, and when I came up, I said that the country was ruined?
Shen Xi had just woken up, his head was not very bright, and after pondering for a while, he suddenly became agitated and asked, "Something happened in the northwest?" ”
"Let's go! Go to Wenyuan Pavilion with the old man! ”
Xie Qian didn't enter the mansion, he shouted, turned around and walked towards the carriage, Shen Xi had to call out to him: "Elder Ge, forgive me, the servants didn't stay in the mansion last night, there was no one in the mansion to take care of them, and even the carriage was not prepared!" ”
"Still want to ride in your own carriage? Time is urgent, let's sit with the old man! Xie Qian turned around.
"But the official uniform of the younger generation ......" Shen Xi thought to himself, since he was going to Wenyuan Pavilion, he couldn't say anything if he didn't wear a formal one, and now he was just wearing a loose straight shirt, how could he enter the palace?
Xie Qian said sharply: "Just dress neatly...... Time is urgent, we need to enter the palace immediately, where is there so much nonsense, get in the car! ”
Shen Xi didn't know now if Xie Qian was calling him out, or if something really big had happened in the northwest.
Although it can be seen from Xie Qian's reaction that the latter is very likely, the question is that even if there is a big war in the northwest, no matter whether the Ming Dynasty wins or loses, it has nothing to do with him Shen Xi, when will it be the turn of him, the right deputy of Fu Xian, who has not performed his duties, to come out and point fingers?
In desperation, Shen Xi could only get into the same carriage as Xie Qian.
The carriage quickly started and headed towards the palace, Xie Qian glared at Shen Xi and reprimanded: "Wine can make mistakes, but you are actually full of alcohol, where is there the slightest appearance of an official of the imperial court?" ”
Shen Xi said aggrievedly: "The elder of the pavilion is running around and working hard for military affairs, so naturally he can't drink. But the younger generation is now at home, on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, why not drink a few glasses of water and wine? ”
As always, Shen Xi likes to choke Xie Qian's words, mainly because Shen Xi can always grasp Xie Qian's language disease to cross-examine.
Although it was dark in the carriage, Shen Xi couldn't see Xie Qian's face clearly, but Shen Xi also knew that Xie Qian, who was silent at this time, must have a very wonderful look on his face.
Shen Xi yawned and asked, "Pavilion Elder, there are some things that need to be clarified before entering the palace, the battle situation in the northwest is ...... What's changed? ”
Xie Qian said: "On the third day of the eighth month, the Tatars withdrew their troops and went north......
"It's over, it's over!"
Hearing this, Shen Xi could basically predict the subsequent results, and directly said "It's over". Xie Qian was stunned for a moment, then his tone became softened, and he asked, "What's over?" ”
"I ...... The younger generation said that this war was probably very bad, and the Tatars used a trick to lure the enemy to attack, and if I expected it to be correct, the Tatars would inevitably divide their troops and flee, and there was no way to deal with it, so that the officers and men of the three armies mistakenly thought that after the Tatars plundered, they fled in a hurry, so they attacked with all their strength under great spirits. ”
"At the beginning of the war, the officers and men of our three armies will inevitably gain some results......," Shen Xi said here, and suddenly stopped.
Xie Qian frowned: "Go on!" ”
Shen Xi sighed: "The Tatars took the initiative to attack and plundered in our Ming territory, and they must know that our army is false and real...... Our Ming border army still does not dare to fight with the Tatars in their own place, and they face off against each other on the vast grassland, how can the Tatars be afraid? This battle is mostly to lead the snake out of the hole, and when my Ming soldiers pour out of the nest, it is the day when the three armies suffer a rout! ”
"Extinguishing ......"
Xie Qian was about to reprimand Shen Xi, but his words came to an abrupt end as soon as he came out, and his unfinished words naturally made Shen Xi's ears almost calloused when he heard it, "Destroy my great Ming ambition and grow the majesty of Beiyi". Shen Xi was quite unimpressed, he was just speaking straightforwardly, and he was afraid that he was right to the point, otherwise Xie Qian would not be unable to continue.
"Go on!" Xie Qian paused and then said.
Shen Xi said: "Elder Ge, the words have been said here, the Ming army has suffered a rout, what else can you say?" Evaluate the impact of this rout on my Daming? Or look forward to the victorious advance of the Tatars? ”
In the dark, Xie Qian seemed to be touching something, and only said after a while: "If it weren't for the old man who was in a hurry today and didn't bring the wat board, otherwise I would have to slap your face!" ”
Shen Xi didn't feel good when he heard it, I told my analysis, and you were going to whip me with a wat board?
Shen Xi said: "The elder of the pavilion must recognize a reality, it is not the unknown prophet of the younger generation that made the Tatars resort to this strategy to lure the snake out of the hole, and it is not like this that caused the rout of the soldiers of our border army...... This battle is not directly related to the younger generation, Xie Ge Lao must not be angry with others! ”
Some words must be made clear, there is nothing to question if the matter has nothing to do with Shen Xi!
In Shen Xi's opinion, I have analyzed the possibility that the Tatars will use the strategy of "luring the snake out of the hole" before, but you don't pay attention to it, and the result is that the Ming border army suffers a rout, so no matter how you say it, the matter can't be implicated in your own head.
Shen Xi was suddenly a little worried, at this time, the family members had almost arrived in the north of the river, if this war continued to spread in the direction of the capital, the family members went north to the capital division, and they might encounter danger on the way...... I don't know if Xie Yun'er and the others can get the news in advance and avoid the scourge of war?
Shen Xi hurriedly asked, "Can I lose the pass on three sides?" ”
"Yulin Wei is lost, and the three sides, as well as Datong, Xuanfu and other key passes, are all under martial law, and Beiyi is strictly prevented from taking advantage of the situation to advance eastward!" Xie Qian said in a heavy tone.
