From beginning to end, Emperor Hongzhi and the civil and military officials did not say a word off topic, and as for the prince's recovery from illness or the great water of the Yellow River, no one mentioned it, and the banquet seemed formal and rigid, without a little human touch.

However, it was a great honor for civil and military officials to enter the palace for a banquet, especially the Qingshui Yamen, which was full of sesame petty officials like the Hanlin Academy, was transferred to the Sixth Department or the temple department and other departments in the future, and unless he ascended to a high position, he would never have the opportunity to attend this kind of occasion again.

The attendants of Honglu Temple packed the food and tableware for the feast, and Shen Xi and Zhu Xizhou each received a share, and then walked outside the palace with the baggage.

To say that a bunch of ministers each went out of the palace with a burden, it was somewhat unsightly, but fortunately, the ministers basically brought their entourage, and when they arrived at the palace gate, there were naturally people to answer them, but it was just that Shen Xi, an official whose official character was not high, and who did not even have a sedan chair and an entourage, not only had to carry the burden by himself, but also walked all the way home.

Before he arrived at the gate of the palace, a brocade guard suddenly came over and asked Shen Xi respectfully: "Is this Shen Xiu?" ”

Shen Xi was stunned, turned around and found that someone seemed to be chasing after him, because the light was too dim to see who it was, he nodded hurriedly, and then was invited by Jinyiwei, only to realize that it was Xie Qian.

"For you."

Xie Qian handed over a volume of framed words in his hand, "The words given by Your Majesty, keep them carefully." If you get stained with the soup, be careful. ”

The dignified cabinet scholar just said the threatening words so unabashedly, Shen Xi didn't feel too scared, this is a gift from the emperor, and it is priceless!

I just don't know what words Emperor Hongzhi gave.

Xie Qian didn't say anything, turned around and went to the palace, there should be a meeting to be held overnight, and it is likely to involve the Yellow River flood and the question of the meeting.

Shen Xi came to the gate of the palace, Zhu Xizhou and Wang Zan were still waiting for him, and when they saw him holding a piece of writing in his hand, they couldn't help asking, "What is this?" ”

Shen Xi shook his head, saying that he was also inexplicable, Zhu and Wang looked at each other, and they were not reluctant, they said goodbye at the gate of the palace and went home separately.

said that Shen Xi drank a few glasses of wine, and his head was a little dizzy all the way down. The main reason is that he doesn't drink much, and he drinks with His Majesty in the palace, even if he doesn't fill it every time, but after all, the wine cup used by the emperor is much larger than the wine glass used on weekdays, and he has to drink it all at once.

It's not that Shen Xi has to be strong, it's just that Zhu Xizhou and others are watching next to him, if he blatantly spills the emperor's wine, it will definitely attract criticism.

Even as Hanlin, everyone has their own little abacus in their hearts.

Shen Xi adheres to the principle that the heart of harming people cannot be dispensed with, and he is unwilling to tell the truth, even if he is hard, he has to drink the wine in his stomach.

When he was in the palace, there was nothing, maybe the stamina of the wine was relatively large, and he walked along East Chang'an Street and Pailou Street in the direction of home, Shen Xi was confused, and he couldn't tell the way home.

Especially near the entrance of the alley, Shen Xi always felt that the surrounding alleys were almost the same, and he was a little unsure which alley was the right way home.

Fortunately, the woman at home was worried about him, Xie Yun'er sent Zhu Shan to wait for the mouth of the alley with a lantern, Zhu Shan himself was also a road idiot, and he didn't dare to go too far, when he was sitting at the mouth of the alley, she heard Shen Xi's footsteps coming, and she shouted in surprise: "Young master, is it you?" ”

"It's me, come and help." Shen Xi was so tired that he couldn't walk.

The burden on the back does not look big, but the beef, sheep, fish and pastries inside are wrapped in oil bags, and the soup is held in sheepskin water bags, plus ceramic tableware and silver chopsticks, how can it weigh five or six catties. In addition, he held the imperial ink treasure in his hand, and he didn't dare to untie his burden and rest in the middle, for fear of breaking the dishes, or the soup and water overflowing and staining the imperial ink treasure, so he could only hold on, and he was almost exhausted to death when he walked this way.

Zhu Shan helped Shen Xi take the burden and looked at it curiously: "Young Master, what's inside?" ”

Shen Xi said: "What to eat...... Haven't you eaten the meal given by the emperor? ”

Zhu Shan's eyes lit up as soon as he heard this, what the emperor ate on top of the sky, needless to say, it must be a peerless delicacy that can only be eaten by immortals, on the way back, Zhu Shan didn't even care about Shen Xi, holding a lantern in one hand and a burden in the other, and roared at the door of the house, inside Xiu'er and Ning'er came out to open the door at the same time.

"You still know to come back!"

Lin Dai came out to greet her, but she was not as good-tempered as Xie Yun'er, and her little mouth was about to pout to the sky.

Xie Yun'er said: "Master, this is going to the palace to attend the royal banquet, and you are not allowed to talk nonsense." ”

Shen Xi didn't understand for a while, when did he become a "master"? But listening to Xie Yun'er's voice is very natural, as if it should be so. Shen Xi entered the door in a daze, only to see a family of women surrounding the baggage he brought back, obviously after hearing Zhu Shan say that this was the emperor's food, everyone's eyes were shining.

Shen Xi waved his hand: "Open it and taste it, the things at the palace banquet said that Huaigui wanted to bring it back, and I didn't eat much with Zhu Xiuzuo at the same table...... If you dislike it, throw it away. ”

Xie Yun'er said angrily: "How can ordinary people eat the food in the palace?" Don't say it's not dirty, even if it's dirty, we'll eat it. ”

Zhu Shan was already drooling, and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, young grandma, let's open it and eat, the young master should be full." ”

Lin Dai heard Zhu Shan call Xie Yun'er a young grandmother, but she had never regarded her as a "young lady", she was a little resentful in her heart, and glared at Zhu Shan fiercely.

At this time, Xie Yun'er first went to the stove room to get a basin of hot water, and Shen Xi wiped his face clean with a hot towel, and then ordered: "Dai'er, help me bring a bowl of rice, I patronized and drank this night." ”

"It's better to go as a concubine, Dai'er, you stay and eat with them." Taking advantage of Shen Xi's washing of his face, Xie Yun'er had already opened the baggage, first took out the ceramic dishes and silver chopsticks inside, and then opened the oil bag, and arranged the meat and pastries inside in turn, and then went to the stove room when they were properly organized.

Shen Xi returned to the room.

After a while, Xie Yun'er had already brought him the food. I have to say that Xie Yun'er is a good hand in the master, since she came to Beijing, some jars and jars have been added to the big water tank in the stove room, and the pickles such as greens and radishes are refreshing and delicious, which is very suitable for Shen Xi's appetite.

With Xie Yun'er here, the quality of food at home is much higher than before, Xie Yun'er belongs to the virtuous internal helpers who cultivate both inside and outside, and Shen Xi is already a little reluctant to sweep Xie Yun'er out of the house like this.

Waiting for Xie Yun'er to set the dishes and chopsticks, she respectfully said to Shen Xi: "Master, it's time to eat." ”

"Don't call me sir, it sounds awkward."

Shen Xi said a word, sat down at the table, took out the ink treasure given by the emperor, and opened the scroll under Xie Yun'er's puzzled gaze.

The words given by the emperor are not complicated, only four vigorous regular script characters, which are written "Helping the world for the cherish", which is a high praise for the doctor.

The inscription of the Hongzhi Emperor is decent, just in terms of calligraphy, this word is not a good product, but the value is worth the following seal, it is the "treasure of Guangyun" of the Ming Dynasty.

Shen Xi has some understanding of this seal, knowing that this is the most widely used seal of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, and the inscription given to the minister or loyal ministers will be used, if the history has not changed, the seal of the Hongzhi Emperor will be burned in the Zhengde period with the seventeen treasures of the early Ming Dynasty, until the eighteenth year of Jiajing, it will be rebuilt, from the "seventeen treasures" in the early Ming Dynasty to the "twenty-four treasures".

"This ...... What is it? ”

Although Xie Yun'er was not quite sure what Shen Xi had brought back, she had some vague speculation, so even her voice trembled.

Shen Xi's head hurt a little because of the wine, and he held his forehead with his hand and said, "The ink treasure given by Your Majesty, to be precise, was given to your Xie family by Your Majesty." ”

Although Xie Yun'er tried her best to endure it, tears fell involuntarily, and her voice was choked: "You...... Mo Yan smiled, this ...... How could this be Your Majesty's Mobao ......?"

I don't believe it, but in fact, my eyes are carefully examining the words, as if I want to read every word really carefully.

"You also think too highly of me, I just have the courage to forge the handwriting of the Son of Heaven...... See, what is it? The jade seal is sealed! Forging this thing is going to wipe out the family! ”

Shen Xi said, picking up the rice bowl, "If it weren't for Xie Ge Lao to give it to me personally, I don't believe that His Majesty would give Mobao." But...... For me, I really don't know if this thing is good or bad, if your Xie family has this thing, you can keep it and open a pharmacy by yourself, and there will be nothing to do with Lu's pharmacy. ”

When Xie Yun'er heard this, she frowned slightly, wiped away her tears with one hand, and pinched Shen Xi's armpit with the other, almost making Shen Xi unable to even hold a rice bowl.

Shen Xi looked up at Xie Yun'er, only to see that her eyes were full of tears, her teeth bit her lower lip as if she was wronged, her expression was a little stubborn, and she had a bit of her daughter's temper, and for a while she couldn't tell whether this was the shrewd and capable goddess doctor, or the wife who would be shy and embarrassed when she was occasionally teased for two sentences in the boudoir?

"I don't dare to ask for such a valuable thing, so I'd better leave it to Lu's Pharmacy...... With it, no one will dare to point fingers at the Chamber of Commerce in the future. Xie Yun'er insisted.

Shen Xi shook his head: "It's okay to say so yesterday, but I have already told Your Majesty, the prescription is presented by the Xie family, and when I look back, this painting is used in the Lu family's pharmacy, and the official will inevitably participate in it when he sees it, and then I will be guilty of bullying the king, you want me to die so that I can leave my Shen family as a widow?" ”

As soon as Shen Xi finished speaking, he was pinched by Xie Yun'er again.

Xie Yun'er scolded angrily: "God's kindness, but you say that it is like a jackal beast...... Anyway, now I am also the daughter-in-law of the Shen family, and I have dry shares in Lu's Pharmacy, so what's wrong with using the word in Lu's Pharmacy? Hmph, if you don't want it, forget it, I want it! ”

After speaking, she really unceremoniously put away the text panel, went out and called Ning'er into the house, explained it, and told her that this was a gift from the emperor, and she would find someone to engrave a plaque in the future.

Shen Xi asked in surprise, "Yun'er, do you want to revive the Xie Family Medical Hall in the capital?" ”

One sentence stopped Xie Yun'er, it was obvious that she was overjoyed, and she wanted to engrave a plaque with the imperial gift, but she ignored that the Xie family was not a medical family in the capital for a long time, and there was no place for the plaque at all.

Just when Xie Yun'er was sad, Shen Xi smiled and said: "It's not impossible to revitalize the Xie family in the capital, it's a big deal to start all over again, I've thought about it, if we can, we will open a pharmacy in the capital, and also sell dog skin plasters, and by treating the prince, it will definitely sell well." Won't the Xie family pharmacy rise again at that time? ”

Xie Yun'er's eyes suddenly brightened, but she quickly shook her head: "No." ”

"Why?" Shen Xi looked at Xie Yun'er curiously.

Don't you most hope to revitalize the Xie family as soon as possible and let the Xie family regain its glory in the capital? I'm helping you now, why don't you appreciate it?

Xie Yun'er's face was full of seriousness: "Xianggonggui is a Hanlin cultivator, and he is an official in the court, if he comes forward to do business, even if he helps the concubine, he will definitely be despised by his colleagues, and the concubine will never be a sinner who delays the future of the Xianggong." ”

"Oh."

Shen Xi accepted Xie Yun'er's statement, lowered his head and continued to pull the rice, and for a while the two of them were silent and stopped talking. At this time, silence is better than sound, and the warmth of family lingers around the two, making Shen Xi clearly feel the company from his confidante, and he will no longer be lonely and lonely in the future.

When Shen Xi finished eating and put down the dishes and chopsticks, he smiled and said, "Yun'er, you still call me Xianggong, it sounds more cordial and natural." ”
