Chapter 58 Ask Xu Caizheng to accompany the wine
Although Jia Changchao really wanted to stay and stay with Xu De for a few more days, this is really not something that Jia Changchao can say, there are too many things to deal with, and he is always chatting here, I am afraid that the impeachment chapter of the imperial historian will be sent to the emperor's table in two days.
It's not okay to have more, but it's no problem to stay here for a day, after all, Lord Jia is about to be fifty years old, an old bone, and after a lot of tiredness for so many days, he always has to take a break, so under the kind invitation of Xu Deshan, a banquet was held in Xu Mansion at noon on this day to entertain Jia Changchao.
I have to say that it is still good to have an adult in the family, Xu Caizheng was drinking tea leisurely at home, waiting to see Xu Deshan's liveliness, but at noon, Xu Deshan kicked in the door, so scared that Xu Caizheng almost didn't throw the teacup in his hand, and was about to be furious, but when he saw that Xu Deshan came in in a hurry, he suddenly stopped being angry, and gloated and said: "What, messed things up?" Do you want me to save you? ”
Xu Deshan said: "It's really a bit troublesome, and I need my father to help me." ”
Xu Caizheng said: "How about it, knowing that you are weak, do you still want me to help you, you say, Liu Xian can't handle it, or is Wang Quanzao in trouble?" ”
Xu Deshan said: "This trouble may be a bit bigger than you expected. ”
Xu Caizheng was stunned for a moment and said, "How big is it, can it be bigger than Zhizhou?" ”
Xu Deshan said: "Almost, I was originally in the school, and Lord Liu has already called me a brother and sister, but I don't know where an old man came out of nowhere to make trouble, and scared Lord Liu and Lord Wang away, and now he is still running to our house, you have to help me settle him." ”
Xu Caizheng was surprised: "What kind of old man can take Liu Xian, the Zhizhou, in his eyes, isn't this bold, what did he say his name?" ”
Xu Deshan said: "I said, he said that his name is Jia Changchao." ”
Then, Xu Caizheng's face was wonderful, he jumped up all of a sudden, and wanted to say something, but the words choked in his throat and couldn't say it, his face suddenly turned the color of pig liver, and finally held back a sentence: "What do you say his name is?" ”
Xu Deshan said: "Jia Changchao, it is said that he is the pacification envoy of Hebei Road, sentenced to the Daimyo's Mansion, and knows the affairs of Hebei Road, and I have brought dozens of guards just by looking at it." ”
Xu Caizheng felt that his brain was messed up all of a sudden, what kind of situation is this, didn't he say that there was only one Liu Xian who came, why did even Jia Changchao come, Xu Caizheng was an official in the same dynasty as Jia Changchao, at that time, people said that he participated in political affairs, and Xu Caizheng was just a small Guozijian business, Xu Caizheng was arrogant again, and disdained to be in the company of Liu Xian and others, but he didn't dare to say anything to the deputy prime minister.
Xu Caizheng slapped Xu Deshan's head and said: "Why did you bring Master Jia here, what a big trouble you have caused, no, no, where is Lord Jia now, take me to meet me, I used to have a relationship with Lord Jia, I hope to be able to use my face to ask Lord Jia to forgive you this time." ”
Xu Deshan couldn't help but tease Xu Caizheng, and said: "Father should not panic, Master Jia did not come to the door to find fault, he talked with me in the school, seeing noon, this is to eat with us, I am afraid that Lord Jia likes to drink a few glasses, and I don't like to drink, so I came to ask my father to accompany the wine." ”
A lifetime, a lifetime, for the first time, Xu Caizheng boasted that he was upright, especially hated those who catered to and tended to be inflammatory, but what to do now, his lifelong reputation was ruined by his son, this rabbit cub, he actually asked himself to accompany him to drink, oops, Xu Caizheng's mood is no longer something that words can describe.
Don't look at how strict and harsh people can be with themselves, but once it comes to their children, most people will compromise, Xu Caizheng is no exception, for Xu Deshan, Xu Caizheng also let go of his old face, tidied up his clothes, and led Xu Deshan to meet Jia Changchao.
As a parent, the head of the family, and followed by Xu Deshan, who had just shined, Xu Caizheng unconsciously wanted to put on a correct attitude and set an example for Xu Deshan, and saw from a distance that Jia Changchao was already drinking tea in the living room, Xu Caizheng relied on the fact that he had a relationship with Jia Changchao, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "I don't know that Lord Jia is coming, I have lost my welcome, atonement, atonement." ”
As a result, things are a little embarrassing, Xu Caizheng remembers Jia Changchao, but Jia Changchao doesn't remember Xu Caizheng, of course, this is normal, nobles forget things, people have so many things to do, why remember a six-grade passerby, Jia Changchao first helped Xu Caizheng up, and then looked at Xu Deshan behind: "This is ......"
For a moment, Xu Caizheng wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into, and he still wanted to set an example for Xu Deshan, who knew that Jia Changchao didn't know who he was at all, Xu Deshan hurriedly stepped forward and introduced: "This is my father, Xu Caizheng, who once worked as a national supervisor in the court." ”
Having said this, Jia Changchao is even more relieved about Xu Deshan, if he doesn't have a name and surname, he suddenly doesn't know where such a strange talent came from, and he has to be wary, but now it seems that Xu Deshan is also from a family, since it is a family, then everyone is still in a circle, and everyone is a friend.
So, emotionally accepted the other party, and the next banquet was much easier, thanks to the Song Dynasty's current relaxed officialdom system, just like the appointment system, no matter what kind of prime minister you are now, even if you don't make any mistakes, tomorrow the emperor will still send you to the frontier, you can't say anything, maybe you are still a nobody today, you don't even have official character, tomorrow you will be appreciated, the same can be transferred to the central government, even if the taste is not high, but the real power is great, It's enough to make those court officials nod their heads when they see you.
Therefore, the distinction between high and low in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty is not so clear, Jia Changchao put down the official frame, it is no different from an ordinary old man, and Xu Caizheng sits left and right, talking about some poetry, books and elegant things, but he is also happy.
After lunch, Jia Changchao felt tired, so he lived in Xu's house, after learning the identity of Jia Changchao, the two ladies who were surprised personally cleaned up the main house, spotless, please Jia Changchao rest, there is nothing to say, distinguished guests, naturally have the identity of distinguished guests, you can't ask Jia Changchao to go to live in the guest room after a pacification envoy comes.
Almost the whole family, sent Jia Changchao into the house to rest, those slaves and subordinates, also hid in the corner, holding their necks to see what the legendary pacification envoy looked like, just like that, in full view of everyone, Jia Changchao walked into the main house, people Jia is going to rest, everyone can't watch here, after all, celebrities also have to have privacy, but just when everyone wanted to turn around and leave, they saw behind Jia Changchaodao, there was a small figure, unceremoniously, following Jia Changchao's footsteps and drilling in, this figure, It's not Xu Deshan, who else can there be.
Xu Caizheng subconsciously grabbed Xu Deshan's back of the neck collar, making Xu Deshan sigh, take a few steps back, and saw that Xu Caizheng was dragging himself, and complained: "Father, what are you dragging me for?" ”
Xu Deshan's voice was not small, which attracted everyone's attention and focused on him, and Jia Changchao also turned his head to look at Xu Deshan and his son.
Xu Caizheng was embarrassed again all of a sudden, the son didn't teach, the father's fault, Xu Deshan's such an impolite behavior shows that Xu Caizheng has no way to teach his son, this is how embarrassing Xu Caizheng is, Xu Caizheng said angrily: "Lord Jia rest, what are you doing with this bastard boy following up, why don't you go and stay behind me!" ”
Xu Deshan said: "No, I'm going to go in, Master Jia said." ”
Xu Caizheng's face twitched again, and he looked at Jia Changchao inquiringly, Jia Changchao said: "It's what I said, it's what I said, the little boy is talented and intelligent, and he has learned well, I was about to talk to the little boy, and I hope Lord Xu will agree." ”
At this moment, Xu Caizheng was even more embarrassed, how could he forget that Jia Changchao was able to come to Xu's Mansion, but it was not Xu Deshan who recruited him, and now Xu Deshan is with Jia Changchao, which is normal, but in this way, Jia Changchao is looking at Xu Deshan instead of you, the parent, and his face as a father is not very good-looking.
If it's not good-looking, it's not good-looking, anyway, it's a family, and the meat is rotten in the pot, Xu Caizheng let go of his hand stupidly, Xu Deshan tidied up his clothes, followed Jia Changchao into the house, and before closing the door, he didn't forget to turn his head and say to Xu Caizheng: "Father, I'll ...... at night Well, Master Jia wants to eat jujube buns, prepare more, remember to use Cangzhou's jujubes. After speaking, without giving Xu Caizheng a chance to be angry, Xu Deshan immediately closed the door.
If it is possible, Xu Caizheng really wants to give Xu Deshan a slap, this little rabbit cub, he dared to fake the tiger, and took the opportunity to instruct himself, this is repayable, not the other way around, Xu Caizheng is trying to break into the door and arrest Xu Deshan to teach him a lesson, but at this time, the two ladies saw that they actually talked to the appeasement envoy, and they were very happy, no matter who you said, as long as it is pointed out, then you have to prepare, isn't it a jujube bun, even if it is a dragon liver and phoenix gall, as long as you can find it, you will be made for it. The two ladies were afraid that their jujube buns would not be delicious, so they pulled Xu Caizheng up, dragged them all the way to the kitchen, and prepared dinner for Jia Changchao.
Poor Xu Caizheng, a dignified national superintendent, a member of the six grades, has been mixed for most of his life, not only did he not mix with a higher official position, but in the end, he was idle at home, and he became his son's cook, this, there is no place to reason.
