After the meal, Emperor Qianlong rewarded the governor of Liangjiang with a sheep black barbecued pork plate, and rewarded a yam stewed cherry meat to the governor of Jiangsu, and the rest of the officials at all levels of the state capital also had a reward, what fat chicken smoked stewed cabbage, lotus seeds and eight treasure duck, sour spinal cord, box tofu, crystal balls, wok residue mud, silver plate side dishes, milk ghee cake, egg bee cake, Bazhen cake.....

Shen Fu was dressed in white, not only did he not enjoy this kind of treatment, but he also basked in the sun for a long time until it was past noon.

Riding back, the market is full of the fragrance of rice, what spring rolls, intestines, pear paste, thin crispy, beep (the correct word is next to rice), steamed dumplings, bean buns, moon cakes, steamed buns, honeydew melons, bee cakes, bean curd, crispy dates, preserved fruits are all like having hands and feet, crossing the endless flow of people, rushing up to grab Shen Fu's stomach and intestines, so hungry that he scratches his heart and liver, and hates to support his intestines and stomach.

Hungry and starved back to Shufu, the sun was in full bloom, and a few small servants watching the corner door sat on the stone steps in front of the door with their chests folded and picked their teeth.

Shen Fu came back a few times, and he was already familiar with them, so he went up to say hello and easily entered the mansion.

Walking along the stone road, I saw that the roadside was full of rare trees such as tulipwood, yew, star anise maple, guava, etc.

Shen Fu didn't want to watch, so he only walked towards the nearest moon cave with his eyes high, but saw a middle-aged woman surrounded by several maids.

Shen Fu looked at it at a glance, and saw that this woman was about in her early forties, slender and delicate, and her clothes were not cheesy, and she saw many maids behind her, but she was embarrassed and couldn't advance or retreat for a while.

The so-called urgency makes wisdom, when Shen Fu looked left and right, he happened to see a bush of peonies planted next to him, and immediately squatted down in a panic.

After a while, the sound of squirming skirts wafted by.

Shen Fu saw that the person was walking away, and was about to shake the dust and stand up, when he suddenly heard someone behind him greeting: "What is Shen Gongzi doing?" ”

"Uh, nothing happened!" Shen Fu stood up embarrassedly, and when he saw that it was a maid with a raw face, he said: "I took a fork in the road just now, and I happened to bump into Lord Shu's inner room, and I couldn't avoid it for a while, so I had to make this decision!" ”

The maid smiled like a spring breeze, her eyes were soft, and she said, "That's not our wife, our wife just went back to her parents' house yesterday!" ”

"It's not Mrs. Shu, who is that?" Shen Fu was a little confused, "I see that she is quite magnificent, and there is a group of maids behind her!" ”

"That's the nurturing grandma that our wife invited to the young lady!" The maid smiled lightly.

"Parenting?" It was the first time Shen Fu had heard of such a thing, and he couldn't help but wonder: "Is that what Mr. Woman meant?" ”

The maid couldn't help laughing: "Sort of, in the middle of last month, the household department issued a letter informing our young lady to participate in the show girl election in the middle of spring this year." Our wife felt sorry for Miss, and was afraid that Miss didn't know the rules of the palace and made a mistake, so she specially invited a grandmother into the house to teach us the rules! ”

Shen Fu listened to it and said secretly: "The saint is almost ancient, and the blood and qi are aging prematurely, this Miss Shu is only seventeen or eighteen years old at most, and it is a pity that she has to match an old man in such a flower season, but she has to match the old man." Think about that

The Forbidden City is no different from a tiger and wolf's lair, thousands of women revolve around a man all day long, fighting for each other, but it is only one thousandth of a favor, where can it compare to monogamy and single-mindedness? ”

Thinking like this, Shen Fu couldn't help but let out a sigh.

The maid looked at him strangely, and asked curiously: "What is the son sighing for?" ”

"Nothing!" Shen Fu smiled and said in a kind tone: "I was just thinking about how you learned about this news!" ”

"I often walk around the inner courtyard, so I naturally know a little more, which is understandable, what's so strange about Childe?"

Shen Fu nodded, expressed his approval, and then said: "Okay, I have to go back to eat, you can also be busy with your go!" ”

The maid stared blankly at his back and walked away silently.

On this side, the sun is warm, and the spring breeze blows the pear blossoms scattered all over the ground. Pingshun leaned his back against the railing and took a nap comfortably.

Shen Fu saw that he was lazy again, so he deliberately flicked his head and said, "Don't sleep, go to the kitchen and ask for a few dishes!" ”

Ping Shun opened his eyes full of resentment, but when he saw that Shen Fu was about to beat someone, he hurriedly left the railing and ran out of the courtyard in a panic.

Shen Fu saw that he was slipping away, so he didn't chase after him and make trouble, but just laughed at it, slowly bypassed the corridor, and pushed the door in.

After waiting for a stick of incense, Pingshun finally walked in with a smile, followed by a rough girl. Shen Fu felt that he was a guest and helped set up the kang table. The rough girl also opened the suitcase, brought out the dishes one by one, and then bowed back.

Shen Fumu sent the girl away, looked back, and saw that there were steamed chicken with yam and wolfberry, vegetarian fried bean skin, lotus leaf and phoenix breast, and a bowl of eight-treasure rice on the table.

Pingshun cleaned up the desktop, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Childe, Gongzi Lu got up early and came to look for you!" ”

Shen Fu thought for a while and said, "That's right, if the school and politics want to hold an exam, Brother Lu will definitely come to join in the fun, then the Xia family brothers, the Miao family brothers and others should also participate!" As he spoke, his face was overjoyed, and he asked, "Brother Lu, can you say where he is now?" ”

"I heard that I stayed in Jixian Building!" Pingshun recalled.

Shen Fu was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately stood up and said, "No, I have to go looking for him, maybe other people are also with him!" ”

Pingshun said with a broken mouth: "Childe, don't do anything nonsense, the master may come back when, if you can't see the child, the little one will suffer!" ”

"It's okay, go quietly, come back quietly!" Shen Fu said happily, quickly changed into clothes, and then walked out of the room with his head held high.

Out of Shufu, Shen Fu stepped on a horse and happily ran towards Jixian Tower.

After walking through the streets and the market, it took a total of two incense sticks to finally arrive at the destination.

Shen Fufei dismounted, and saw that this Jixian Building was built near the water, about twenty or thirty feet high, and its appearance was very magnificent. Suddenly, a little guy with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks ran out and naturally snatched the reins from Shen Fu's hand. Shen Fu smiled and said nothing, and slowly entered the attic, only to see a few tables of guests sitting in the building, and Lu Ban was not seen

Fang and the others, who couldn't help but wonder, hurriedly went to the counter to ask.

The cousin reacted quickly, and as soon as he heard Shen Fu's description, he immediately told him that Lu Banfang and the others were drinking in the cubicle on the second floor.

Shen Fu smiled proudly, and went up to the second floor with his handrail, only to hear the laughter from the small cubicle facing east from time to time, so he leaned over lightly.

After eavesdropping for a while, Shen Hui felt that Lu Banfang and others were commenting on historical figures, and couldn't help but feel bored, so he pushed the door and walked into the room aggressively, and said angrily: "Okay, good, but let me catch it, a few of you actually carried me to the party behind my back!" ”

In the room, Lu Banfang, Xia Dan'an, Xia Yishan, Miao Shanyin, and Miao Zhibai were all taken aback when they saw Shen Fu suddenly break in.

Lu Banfang stood up first and said with a smile: "We are just discussing the twenty-four meritorious heroes of the Zhaoxun Pavilion, is this also a crime?" ”

"But not everyone has the leisure to gather together in the Yuedan Review, a few of you are not only innocent, but also the leaders of taste!" Shen Fu said slowly, and the people present looked at it, and because they didn't see Jiang Yunxiang and Lu Chengxiang and others, they couldn't help asking: "What about the others?" ”

Lu Banfang said: "I won't say it, you also know what Brother Jiang has been doing recently!" ”

"I forgot, it's almost the death day of Sister-in-law Jiang, and it is estimated that Brother Jiang will be closed for several days!" Shen Fu sighed and asked again, "What about Brother Lu?" ”

Xia Dan'an smiled refreshingly and said, "As soon as you mention him, I will be angry!" You give me a comment, he is still the person I said, he is good, the newcomer entered the room, the matchmaker threw over the wall, it's been almost a month, I invited seven or eight times, he always pushes back, saying that there is something at home and can't leave. You say that he can have anything serious, isn't he greedy for women? ”

Xia Yishan thought that his brother was speaking explicitly, and hurriedly said: "This is not necessarily, Brother Lu has always had bedsores, maybe he committed it again?" ”

Miao Shanyin said: "Yes, if Brother Lu commits this mistake, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to speak out, so don't worry about Brother Xia!" ”

Shen Fu listened to them coming and going, so it was not lively, he leaned over very neatly and inserted himself into the banquet, and said with a smile: "The ancients said that you don't sit on a stone in winter and a wood in summer. ”

Lu Banfang said calmly: "Where is this to commit if you want to commit it?" Illness is also picky! ”

The Miao family brothers smiled faintly, and Xia Yishan said: "Don't talk about these extraneous words, let's continue to talk about the twenty-four heroes of the Zhaoxun Pavilion!" ”

Shen Fu listened and slowly spoke: "Among the twenty-four meritorious heroes, Cao Bin, Pan Mei, Cao Wei, Li Jilong, and Han Shizhong were born in the army, and they all have outstanding military achievements. Not only did he participate in the Chenqiao Mutiny, but he also retreated in the end, and he bowed to the prime minister three times, which has to be amazing! ”

Lu Banfang said casually: "This is also true, so that the suspicious Song Taizu can be entrusted with a heavy responsibility, Zhao Pu is indeed scheming!" ”

"In this comparison, then Xue Juzheng is much inferior!" Xia Dan'an said seriously, "It's just a compilation of the History of the Old Five Dynasties!" ”

"Brother Xia's words are very bad, the so-called theory of knowing people

The world means that we cannot subjectively judge the size of a person's merits, but also look at it in its specific era. That Zhao Pusheng was at the right time, just in time for Song Taizu to release the military power with a glass of wine, so he could naturally show his ambitions, and Xue Gong and even the later ones were born in Dingshi, how could there be such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? Miao Shanyin said rigorously, "So, Xue Gong can assist the monarch wholeheartedly, and he is upright, this has already completed the way of the monarch and the minister, and it is worthy of eternal love!" ”

Xia Yishan nodded again and again, and said, "Yes, the minister dies for the king!" Think that at the beginning of Renzong's pro-government, didn't Lu Yijian also openly put forward eight exhortations to Renzong? Although in the end, due to the villain's flattery, Lu Gong was dismissed from office, but Lu Gong did not regret it until he died, and this loyalty is really visible to the sun and the moon! ”
