Ma Zhanguo and Ding Ke, who came back after setting up the wind chimes, also accompanied them at the end. Everyone gathered around, but they were also happy. I saw a big pot in the middle of the table, the boiling water in the pot, and the surrounding of the pot was full of various ingredients, including slices of meat as thin as cicada wings, cabbage, and wine, sauce, pepper, and cinnamon made into a sauce, which was full of aroma.

"Dial the glow!" Xia Xiang's eyes lit up, and his appetite suddenly increased, on such a cool night, sitting around with relatives and friends, eating steaming hot Xia offerings, is indeed a supreme pleasure, "Whose idea is this?" ”

"Me." Cao Shuli raised her right hand high, as if she was a student who had been praised by the teacher, and smiled sweetly, "They all said that they didn't know what to eat, so I remembered the Xia offering created by Master Mu, and I wanted the night to be as cool as water, and the Xia offering was just right to warm up." ”

"According to legend, the Xia offering was ......created by Master Mu," Xia Xiangchao nodded and smiled at the still languishing Mantuo, "It is said that Master Mu is a fellow villager of the Lady of Mantuo, and he lives in seclusion in the Wuyi Mountains. One year, when the snow covered the mountain, he picked up a hare that had been killed and wanted to roast it. But he met an old man and told him that he put a small charcoal stove on the table and a soup pot on the stove. When the water boils, the thinly sliced hare meat is sliced with chopsticks, and the steaming soup is stirred to create a cloud-like color, and then dipped in the sauce made from "sake sauce and pepper ingredients", and the entrance is extremely delicious. The wood master concocted it in the same way, and it was really delicious, and he named this method as the Dialxia offering. ”

Mantuo glanced at Xia Xiang lazily, his eyes were still indifferent, and his expression was faint.

Xia Xiang's heart moved, it was really difficult for her to spend his mind this time, he continued: "Although the name of the Diaxia offering is elegant, it is not delicious. There is a pot on the fire, which is for the hot pot. Eat it with chopsticks, it is better to call it - shabu shabu. ”

"Shabu-shabu? Well, this name is good, elegant and vulgar appreciation, when the floating white. Cao Shujun applauded loudly and raised his glass, "Come, respect Xia County." ”

Xia Xiang also raised his glass: "The first glass of wine, salute the lady of Mantuo." ”

Everyone responded, saluting Manta, but Manta raised his glass weakly, and after barely drinking a glass, he couldn't support it anymore, and took his leave to rest.

Although there was Mantuo's physical discomfort that made everyone feel slightly depressed, with Cao Shujun present, the atmosphere quickly became much more lively. After three rounds of drinking, Ma Zhanguo couldn't hold back, and complained a few words with the help of alcohol.

"Xia Xianzun, Cui Fuzun has to make things difficult everywhere, why don't you ask Jingzhong Yushi to impeach him for overstepping his authority?" The more Ma Zhanguo thought about it, the more angry he became, seeing that the situation was very good, but he was forcibly suppressed by Cui Xiang, "Xiaguan and Cao Langjun searched Zhending City for a day, and they didn't let go of the corners and deserted places, but they still didn't see Fu Ke's whereabouts. Xia Xianzun, but the next official tied up Yang Jiang and forced him to speak. ”

Lian Ruohan put down his chopsticks thoughtfully: "Xia Xianzun, did Cui Fuzun say something?" ”

Without waiting for Xia Xiang to speak, Ma Zhanguo answered: "Don't hide it from Lian Niangzi, Cui Fuzun ordered Xia Xianzun not to desilt and no longer try the case of Fu Ke, and wait for the emperor to go on a southern tour." If you really wait until after the emperor's southern tour, it will be too late. ”

A trace of anger flashed in Lian Ruohan's eyes, and she quickly regained her composure, she smiled faintly: "Cui Fuzun is to suppress Xia Xianzun with the respect of the prefect, from the perspective of officialdom rules, Xia Xianzun can only obey his fate, there is no other way." She turned to Xiao Jia and smiled easily, "Today, Xiao Niangzi and I measured Caijiayao, and let people draw out the place where Wenyuan was built. ”

"Xiajiazhuang?" Xia Xiang asked in surprise.

"Yes, Xiao Niangzi and I agreed to build a Xiajiazhuang outside the city to settle all the displaced people, and all the displaced people in the future will be villagers of Xiajiazhuang, and they will also be tenant farmers who are always in good times." Lian Ruohan nodded and said, "After discussing with Xiao Niangzi, I decided that Wenyuan and Xiajiazhuang will start construction on the same day, how about Xia County's respect?" ”

Xia Xiang thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, seeing that it's going to be winter, the people can't wait, the sooner the better." ”

"Okay, Xiajiazhuang will be completed within a month, which can ensure that all the displaced people outside the city can survive the winter." Lian Ruohan continued, "The granary jointly built with Xu Wangshan and Ma Qingyuan has also started, and it can be completed within ten days. Xu Yuanwai and Ma Yuanwai have already negotiated the purchase of grain, and the purchase of 100,000 stone of grain is not a problem. Also, there is news from outside the Sai that Guangjin Commercial Bank is ready to buy iron ore at a higher price and wants to grab back the supply. However, I have already negotiated with the supplier, and no matter how much Guangjin Commercial Bank offers, it will be purchased at more than double the price. ”

With courage and courage, Xia Xiang applauded: "Lian Niangzi is really a pillar of the country." ”

"Xia Xianzun is the pillar of the country, and the little woman is just a small businessman." Lian Ruohan smiled, "Since Cui Fuzun has to bully people strongly, Xiao Niangzi and I can't watch Xia Xianzun being bullied, right?" Xiao Niangzi, you urgently transferred 100,000 yuan from the capital to buy the surplus grain from Zhending and nearby counties, so that Liu Xie and the others could not buy a grain of grain if they had money. ”

"Why bother? Even the lady doesn't have to be angry. Xia Xiang didn't want Lian Ruohan to lose his mind because he was angry.

"Xia County, please relax, I am not because of anger, but for the sake of the people, for the sake of the world." Lian Ruohan's face shone with a resolute brilliance, and his eyes were bright, "Judging from the current situation, Xia County's strength is weak and he is at a disadvantage, if Cui Fuzun blindly bullies Xia County's Zun with the prefect's respect, Xia County's Zun is above the officialdom and is powerless to resist, Xiao Niangzi and I are people in the shopping mall, so we don't have to worry too much about the rules of officialdom." Moreover, this move is for the stability of the Great Xia and the safety of the emperor. ”

Xia Xiang bowed his head and was silent, with a look of shame, and after a long time, he drank all the wine in the cup: "Thank you Lian Niangzi and Xiao Niangzi for their righteous actions, but you don't really think that I have nothing to do but sit and wait for death?" ”

Cao Shuli opened a pair of innocent eyes: "Xia Langjun, what else can you do?" The official level crushed people to death, Cui Fuzun didn't let you clear the dredging and didn't let you try the case, can you still disobey the order? ”

"The order of the Fuzun cannot be disobeyed. People are in officialdom, and they can't help themselves. Xia Xiang sighed and put the wine glass on the ground, as if there was really nothing to do, but he smiled slyly, "But then again, Cui Fuzun won't let me clear the dredging, I don't know." If you don't let me try the case, I won't try it. I just have to be an idle magistrate, wandering leisurely every day, playing in the mountains and rivers, drinking tea and chanting poetry, and racing over the living immortals. ”

Lian Ruohan blinked, Xia Xiang is not a person who gives up lightly when he encounters something, why is he so depressed today? Thinking about it again, no, Xia Xiang is words have something to say, suddenly thought of a little, and smiled: "Xia Xianzun is right, Cui Fuzun just didn't let Xia Xianzun dredge and try the case, but he didn't say that he wouldn't let us clear the dredging and try the case." ”

"That's right." Ma Zhanguo slapped the table, shaking the things on the table, he realized that he had used too much force, and smiled apologetically, "It's not right, dredging and trial can only be done by the government, Xia Xianzun can't come forward, who of us can come forward?" ”

"Stupid." Xiao Jia scolded with a smile, and stuck out his tongue embarrassedly, after all, Ma Zhanguo is also a county lieutenant, "Ma County Lieutenant doesn't know anything, things can be done in the open plank road and in the dark......"

"How to fix it, how to spend it? I'm a rough person, I can't figure it out and I can't guess it. Ma Zhanguo scratched his head and smiled.

Before Xiao Jia could speak clearly, a noisy voice suddenly came from outside, and the sound of an urn came from afar: "Sir, Xiao Wu is back, Xiao Wu is back alive." I didn't expect to see Mr. again, and Xiao Wu was dumbfounded. ”

Xiao Wu is back? Everyone was shocked. Everyone didn't care much, so they got up one after another and went out with Xia Xiang.

Outside the door, in the moonlight, in the candlelight, Xiao Wufeng was dusty, covered in mud, and the Qi He beside him was even more embarrassed, as if he had just crawled out of the mud pit.

There was also a person standing behind the two, standing calmly, with a thin face and thick eyebrows, about forty years old. He was dressed in cloth and dressed like a common man, but the bearing revealed in his expression was clearly the majesty of a person who had been in a position for a long time. He glanced at Xia Xiang lightly, and there was a slight surprise in his expression.

Xia Xiang was full of confidence in Xiao Wu on the surface, but in fact, he was always at ease in his heart and worried about Xiao Wu's safety. Seeing Xiao Wu return safely, he immediately took a step forward, put his hands on Xiao Wu's shoulders, and was extremely excited: "It's good to come back, Xiao Wu, you are finally back, you are back." ”

Xiao Wu also hugged Xia Xiang's shoulders, so excited that he even stammered when he spoke: "First, sir, although Xiao Wu and Xiao Wu encountered two dangers along the way, they arrived in Xingzhou without danger." Every time he was in distress, Xiao Wu thought, it's nothing to die, and he will be a good man after eighteen years, but if he delayed his husband's affairs, how could Xiao Wu die with peace of mind? I had to hold on to it. ”

Xia Xiang was taken aback: "What? Did you encounter danger on your way? ”

Qi He wanted to speak, but was preempted by Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu directly pushed Qi He aside, rolled up his sleeves and said: "Being chased all the way, fortunately, Xiao Wu is brave and powerful, and his martial arts are world-......"

Qi He really couldn't listen to it anymore, and coughed a few times: "Cough, cough, cough, Xiao Dutou, it's windy outside, be careful to pour wind into your mouth......"

"Wouldn't it be better for you to be careful of flashing your tongue?" Xiao Wu and Qi were born and died on the road, and now they have become brothers who depend on each other in life and death, he hugged Qi He's shoulder, "Qi Xiaosan, no matter what bad things you say about me, I will not dislike you, who makes us good brothers who will never leave us?" ”

The cloth-clothed man on the side couldn't help it, coughed softly, and moved his nose: "There is a smell of rice...... There are guests from afar, it is the time of the meal, but the guests are not invited to eat, it is not the way of hospitality, Xia Xianzun, you should apologize to me. ”

Xia Xiang had already noticed the man in cloth, but Xiao Wu didn't finish talking when he came up, he didn't have a chance to greet the man in cloth, and hurriedly crossed his hands and saluted: "Didn't you ask for the name of the godbrother Taizun?" ”

"His name is Zheng Xiang'an, and he is Zheng Tixing's entourage." Xiao Wu hurriedly introduced, "Zheng Tixing has official business, so let Zheng Langjun come to Zhending with me and Qi He first, maybe I can help Mr. or two." ”

What was the purpose of Zheng Ti's punishment, and why did he send an entourage first? Although Xia Xiang was a little puzzled, he did not mean to despise it, and hurriedly invited Zheng Xiang'an, Xiao Wu, and Qi to enter.

Seeing this, Xiao Jia asked people to open another table, and she sat at the same table with Cao Shuli, Ma Zhanguo, and Ding Ke. Qi Hecheng was terrified, and he didn't dare to sit down in front of Ma Zhanguo and Ding Ke, Xiao Jia persuaded him again and again, and Ma Zhanguo said that it was okay, so he sat down crookedly.

A screen separates the two tables, and the other table is Xia Xiang, Lian Ruohan, Cao Shujun, Xiao Wu, and Zheng Xiangan. Originally, Xia Xiang wanted Zheng Xiangan to sit on his right, but Zheng Xiangan refused to say anything, so he had to sit at the bottom. Xia Xiang saw that he insisted, so he was no longer reluctant.

After sitting down, Xiao Wu talked about the experience along the way, and heard that Xia Xiang and the others were both shocked and afraid, but they never expected that the other party was so ruthless that they actually sent someone to intercept and kill Xiao Wu, fortunately Xiao Wu was witty, and even more fortunate that Tian was dissatisfied with his help, otherwise Xiao Wu and Qi He would have gone and had no return.

Xia Xiang forcibly suppressed the resentment in his chest, and also secretly said that he was lucky, the fate of Hetian's dissatisfaction at the beginning not only made him get an unexpected joy, but also saved Xiao Wu and Qihe because of this, Mencius said, take everyone as good, and be kind to others. Therefore, a gentleman is very kind to others.

"On the way, I heard Xiao Wu say that Tian Xianzun had a relationship with Xia Xianzun, Xia Xianzun did not treat him with Tian's dissatisfaction as a lowly person, Zheng was fortunate to sit with Xia Xianzun today, and only then did he know that what Xiao Wu said was true." Zheng Xiang'an raised his sprinkling cup and smiled slightly, "Zheng has a humble status, and he is not worthy of sitting at the same table with Xia County, but he is very grateful to Xia County." This glass of wine, Zheng did it first as a respect. ”

Zheng Xiang'an drank it all, and said: "Be kind to others, be kind to yourself." There is a way with others, and there is a retreat for yourself. The so-called heaven has no relatives, and is always with good people. Xia County Zun not only has the heart of serving the country and the people, but also is kind to others, which is really admirable. Zheng has the courage to ask, Xia Xianzun and Zheng are at the same table, is it because Zheng is Zheng Ti's entourage, or because Zheng and Xiao Wu are walking together? ”

As soon as these words came out, Cao Shujun's face changed slightly, and he looked directly into Zheng Xiangan's eyes with questioning, and asked: "Zheng Langjun, Xia Xianzun treats you like a guest, why do you do this?" The host is very hospitable, and the guests are also as guests as they are. ”

Xia Xiang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Cao Langjun doesn't have to be like this. Zheng Langjun, this official is sitting with you, neither because you are Zheng Tixing's entourage, nor because you are walking with Xiao Wuyi all the way. ”

"What's that for?" Zheng Xiangan was surprised.

"No why." Xia Xiang smiled lightly and gave Zheng Xiangan a cup in return, "Different ways do not conspire with each other, and different aspirations do not lead to the same road." You can walk with Xiao Wuyi all the way, it can be seen that you are like-minded. Seeing that Zheng Langjun was extraordinary, although he was only Zheng Tixing's entourage, he was polite and calm, which made people happy at first sight. ”
