Without a Trace Volume 6 Xiao Wall Chapter 36 Chance Encounter
、、、、、、、
Feng Wuxian was discussing with the Zuo Shifu Lang Mi of the Ministry of Officials at this time, although Xiao Yunchao just said hello to the matter here, he could not let go of Zuo Huanzhang's actions. For the powerful, as long as they can be used, it is not a small role, let alone inserting a nail into the ministry? After saying a few words, Rao is Mi Jingfu thought that he could completely control the overall situation, and he couldn't help but be a little shocked, doing this kind of thing under the noses of several officials, this Zuo Huanzhang was really bold enough.
However, Mi Jingfu has followed Xiao Yunchao for many years, from the head of the ministry to Langzhong, and then rose step by step to the position of Zuo Shilang, so he is naturally not an idle role, so he is still a little skeptical. Feng Wuji's words were extremely vague, as if he just inadvertently mentioned a stroke, but after many years of fighting in the officialdom, how could Mi Jingfu not recognize the true meaning, but Xiao Yunchao was not there, and it was not easy for him to make too obvious a disposition.
Two people with different minds discussed the affairs of the ministry here, bargaining like a tug-of-war, and various officials were agreed upon one vacancy after another. Although the emperor still has to decide in the end, Mi Jingfu is already familiar with arranging these things, so it is rare for him to be rejected. When the discussion was hot, a official's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "His Royal Highness Qiqi, Lord Mi, Lord Tobe is visiting." ”
Feng Wuxian couldn't help but be surprised, he had only been away from the household for two or three hours, Yue Qianfan was in such a hurry to visit, could it be something terrible? He didn't wait for Mi Jing to speak, and immediately commanded:
"Come in, Lord Yue." As soon as the words came out, he felt that he was a little noisy, and couldn't help but throw an awkward smile at Mi Jingfu.
Mi Jingfu is an old fox for many years, which accounting is more trivial than these. It's over after a haha, but in my heart I think of other princes. Among the princes, the wind without a trace is indeed very brilliant. But after all, he is still young, and he looks immature in such small things. If it's really a big deal. Yue Qianfan will not come to visit the ministry in person, just send a confidant to notify, otherwise wouldn't it be hypocritical, looking at this now, that household department is obviously just hanging out here.
"Your Highness is indeed here. After the lower official came out of the palace, he wandered around, who would have thought that he actually walked to the yamen of the ministry, and this was going to disturb Brother Mi. As soon as Yue Qianfan came in, he greeted the two with a smile, and his words seemed to reveal that he had just come back, but it made Feng Wuxian and Mi Jingfu's hearts move.
Mi Jing saw that Yue Qianfan opened his mouth to call him a brother, obviously to get closer to the relationship, and he was no longer polite at the moment. "Brother Yue is a God of Wealth who is difficult to get a visit to this place, how can I be a host, and I should be a host. It's not early in the day. If His Highness doesn't dislike it, how about we get together in Shuiyushengyan? "He is also a smart person, since Yue Qianfan dared to run here as soon as he left the palace. Obviously, he is afraid of something, he is too stupid to have a bad relationship, not to mention that Feng Wuxian is not a local character who comes here often, and today's opportunity is really rare.
Wind Traceless and Yue Qianfan exchanged glances. Then he smiled and nodded in agreement, this kind of officialdom is naturally inconvenient to shirk, and in addition, Xiao Yunchao is not there, and the affairs of the officials are in the hands of Mi Jingfu, so it is beneficial for both parties to be more familiar with each other. At that moment, Mi Jingfu sent someone to Shui Yu Shengyan to book a private room on the third floor, these three people are powerful people in the capital, how can they mix with the small people of Shengdou. The three of them chatted for another half an hour, and then they changed into civilian clothes, and only took a few entourages to Shuiyu and Shengyanxing. At this time, it was already evening, and everywhere were first-class servants who had just come out of the yamen, and those ordinary people who had just been busy all day could be seen everywhere. It's so easy to be idle, and people are enjoying this rare moment of relaxation.
The wind without a trace in the crowd looked inconspicuous, and there were so many dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital, so the people had long been surprised, and few people looked at their brocade clothes with envy. It wasn't until the water jade smoked that Yue Qianfan found that Mi Jingfu was really the first to expect the incident, the second floor was full, and there were bursts of human voices from time to time on the third floor.
"Since there are nobles today, even if I forget to book a box first, Boss Li, who knows each other, will vacate a room. It must be known that the people who come and go here are distinguished guests, and he has a top-notch one all the year round, just so as not to sweep away the interest of the magnates. Mi Jing knew what he was thinking when he saw Yue Qianfan's demeanor, so he explained with a smile. Yue Qianfan nodded while scanning the diners on the second floor, and he actually found a few familiar figures, and he couldn't help but wonder. Although Feng Wuxian didn't come often, he was very familiar with Li Qiao, the shopkeeper here, so it was not strange to see him greet him.
Although Li Qiao is already a handful of years, because everything has gone well in the past two years, Wei Wenlong attaches great importance to him, so he is more energetic than when Feng Wuxian first saw him. He is also an old and cunning person, and when he saw Feng Wuxi's indifferent look, he knew that he didn't want the relationship between the two to leak out, so he deliberately snubbed Feng Wuxian when he stepped forward to flatter, but replied to Mi Jing, who often came and went, with a bunch of welcome words.
Mi Jing saw that Feng Wuxi's face was as usual, and he didn't reveal his identity at the moment, but hinted to Li Qiao that the people around him were big shots. Seeing this, Li Qiao hurriedly flattered him, and the three of them followed him into a richly decorated box. Wei Wenlong is also ingenious, not only separated by screens like ordinary restaurants, but really uses board walls, so that as long as he does not speak too loudly, no one will be heard, and it is really the favorite place for those officials to talk.
As soon as the three of them sat down, the guy only had time to serve tea, and Mi Jingfu reported a series of dish names like a cannonball, obviously knowing the things here. Even the shopkeeper was standing on the side, how could that guy still have no idea, while listening intently and repeating, the last word is not bad, obviously he is also a veteran of this industry. Li Qiao saw that everything was almost over, so he immediately confessed and retreated at the same time as his buddy. It's better for him to be less involved in the gathering of big people, not to mention that Feng Wuxian himself is inside, so he doesn't have to worry about this gossip.
Before he walked downstairs, Li Qiao remembered the box next to the three of them, and his brows furrowed again. Although he didn't know the nobles inside, it was the head of Prince Zhuang's mansion who booked the box, and the people who came were low-key and abnormal, and even he wanted to go in to flatter him and was blocked out, hoping that it was not to discuss something prohibited. After thinking about it again, he still had an extra mind, and he still informed the master of this situation, so that he didn't have to worry about it.
Li Qiao hurriedly caught up with the guy at the beginning, and whispered a few words, and the guy nodded again and again, looking like he understood. Seeing that the shopkeeper had nothing to say, he hurried to the kitchen, even if the shopkeeper did not order, he had to let the kitchen work hard, and not fall into the sign of water and jade.
In less than a cup of tea, the man came up with a long plate, and the four dishes in it were steaming. He flattered while opening Luo: "Three adults, these are all freshly made in the kitchen, and they are all specially added according to the instructions of Master Mi just now. Please try it first, and the rest of the dishes will be delivered immediately. ”
Mi Jingfu nodded slightly, as if inadvertently: "Presumably the business here is good today, and in the past, the kung fu dishes will be all in a while, so you go to the kitchen to urge." These two are distinguished guests, if you are lazy, even if the shopkeeper can spare you when you turn around, I am afraid that you will have to eat and hang on Wei Wenlong's side. ”
The guy nodded busily, and replied cautiously: "If you return to Lord Mi", how dare you snub the distinguished guests, it is really a few masters next door who called the whole table, and the kitchen was too busy for a while, so I asked the three adults to take care of it. He saw that the faces of the three of them showed dissatisfied expressions, and hurriedly continued, "It is the head of Prince Zhuang's Mansion who has set the box, so the shopkeeper has no choice but to ask the three adults to bear with him." His words were subtle and appropriate, apparently prepared with great effort.
"Prince Zhuang?" Yue Qianfan repeated the name lightly, and motioned for the guy to step aside. Faced with the steaming four plates of dishes, the three of them lost their interest in feasting, and they all came to their senses. Feng Wuxian knew that this was the news that Li Qiao sent someone to mention, so he paid more attention to it, which could make this old fox feel unusual, but it was conceivable that the guest next door might have a very noble identity, maybe it was Prince Zhuang himself. You must know that these princes of the older generation no longer care much about the affairs of the court, is there any reputation this time?
Seeing that the other two were also patronizing and thinking about their thoughts, he couldn't help but joke: "You two, you finally have time to have a meal, it's good for you, you are all stunned there, can't you let this king move chopsticks alone?" Yue Qianfan and Mi Jingfu felt embarrassed at this time, and the two hurriedly diverged with other words, but there was still a pimple in their hearts. The guy didn't break his promise, and all kinds of dishes were ready for a while, and the three of them had a few glasses of wine, chatting about interesting things about officialdom, and seemed to forget what was on their minds just now.
Although the three of them drank in moderation, this kind of occasion naturally could not just be tasted, and a few wine bottles were empty unconsciously. Feng Wuxian is a person who has experienced, and during the internal air rotation, the feeling of dizziness gradually disappeared, and his eyes became clearer. Mi Jingfu and Yue Qianfan were not good, and they had a feeling of disadvantage when they spoke, so they immediately stopped drinking, and ordered the guy who was waiting outside the door to go to the sobering soup, and took a few sips of the slightly light dishes, and Fang Jue became more conscious.
Yue Qianfan and Mi Jingfu knew that they had lost their temper just now, and they left the box without a trace of guilt to the wind, and stood on the tuyere for a while, and the alcohol in their bodies was diluted. The two of them glanced at each other, both stunned, and they couldn't imagine that the amount of alcohol that Feng Wuxian drank still exceeded that of them, who always remembered to socialize. Just when he was puzzled, the door of the box next to him suddenly opened, and most of the dozen or so people who came out were officials they knew, and the highest official quality was a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, but these people would almost cover all six departments.
The other party didn't expect to meet an acquaintance this time, so he looked a little flustered, and only after saying hello did he reluctantly leave calmly, and the last few people lowered their heads, as if they didn't want others to recognize him. Feng Wuxian also came out of the box at some point, stared at the departing figure twice, and then beckoned Yue Qianfan and Mi Jingfu to come in. The kung fu just now had already made him recognize a person, and Prince Li Feng Huaizhang was actually among these people, what did they want to do? Feng Wuxian felt more and more confused, and there was a faint feeling of a very bad premonition. Lingyun Zhiwei Without a Trace Volume 6 Xiao Wall Chapter 36 Chance Encounter
