Chapter 42: A word

Welcoming the Decree is definitely a technical plus physical work. Fortunately, there are two people, Wen Dang and Chang Shi, and everything is okay. Don't look at the pennants fluttering outside, people neighing and horses barking, in fact, at this time, our imperial envoy didn't even enter the Wenshui County boundary.

According to the ritual, before receiving the holy decree, one must fast for three days, bathe and change clothes. You have to prepare for the sacrifice to the sky, incense and so on. In Su Ren's opinion, this is more devotion than worshipping Buddha and praying to God, no wonder the ancient emperors thought that they were the sons of God, and listening to his nonsense was the same as worshipping the sky.

Su Ren is a master who has no meat and no food, and fasting is the most difficult, and he was hungry for three days, and finally ushered in the day of reading the holy decree. The gate of Laojunguan is open, and those who came a few days ago with various flags and wearing different robes and costumes will occupy the Laojunguan inside and outside according to the corresponding direction and order. Nuoda's Laojunguan, plus the square outside the door, there was no sound at all, and the people who were watching the excitement knelt on the side of the road early, looking up at the end of the road slightly.

Su Ren was wrapped into a zongzi, wearing a thick cyan robe on his body, with a half-turn wide belt tied around his waist, and two pieces of white jade given by Cui Jiuming hung on his waist one by one. Although there is no crown on the head, the hair is pulled up high. The corners of Su Ren's eyes slanted upward. Originally, the eyes were not big, but I felt like silk when I got it.

After waiting for two hours under the sun, Su Ren estimated that he had prickly heat all over his body, and finally heard three horn cannons, and a carriage drove along the road that had just been repaired half a month ago to the gate of Laojunguan.

Su Ren stretched his neck to see what the legendary Tian Wei looked like, but after working hard for a long time, he still couldn't see anything. Although he is the protagonist today, in front of such big officials as Taishou, county commander, and county lieutenant, he can only stand obediently in the back and look out through the gaps.

There was a commotion in the crowd, and the curtain of the carriage was lifted. The first to come out was a leg, a leg in red pants, a short, thick leg that clings to the stomach. With such a big belly, this is Su Ren's first impression of Tian Wei. In the Han Dynasty, where ochre was the most expensive clothes, red was only worn by brides.

With the support of two people, Tian Wei, who was the same as a pregnant woman, got out of the carriage. The head had just leaked out, causing another exclamation.

Hawking, who was kneeling on the ground, peeked at it: "This! So ugly? ”

Huo Laosi hurriedly covered his son's mouth and pressed his head down, and the father and son didn't dare to raise their heads again.

Leng Jun added: "It's really ugly. ”

Tian Wei really doesn't dare to compliment his appearance, he has seen ugly people, but he has never seen such an ugly person. The thief's eyebrows and mouse eyes are not counted, but his facial features are distorted, and if you look at it, you don't want to eat at noon. Su Ren hurriedly turned his head and covered his mouth, it was unprecedented for a person to be ugly like this. His sister Queen Mother can charm the emperor, so she is naturally a beauty, why did she become like this when she came to him? It's really puzzling.

As soon as Tian Wei got out of the car, several bigwigs in front of him immediately greeted him.

Looking at Lao Junguan, Tian Wei sighed with emotion: "Treasure land, it is really a treasure land, he will build a grass house here when he returns to seclusion, I don't know if Chang County is willing?" ”

Chang Shi swept the floor: "Marquis Wu'an is an important minister of the court, how can Your Majesty be willing to let you go into hiding, laughing and talking." ”

Tian Wei laughed, his face bright. Often, this sycophant is in the right place.

The Wen Party let Su Ren go to the front: "This is Su Ren who offered the method of making salt, and now he is Wenshui County." ”

"Grass people Su Ren pays a visit to Wu'anhou!" Su Ren really didn't want to look at Tian Wei's face, so he hurriedly bowed down and behaved extremely humble.

Seeing that Su Ren was young, Tian Wei naturally would not take a child to heart. However, today is for him, and the due etiquette still has to be done. He snorted coldly and asked Wen Dang: "Can you prepare this matter?" ”

Wen Dang nodded: "It's ready, please ask Wu Anhou to read the holy decree!" ”

Glancing at the layout of the courtyard, there is no shortage of incense cases and rituals. Tian Wei coughed, and someone next to him immediately took off the burden behind him, took out the holy decree inside, and held it to Tian Wei with both hands.

"Wenshui County Zuosu Ren takes the order!"

The decree of the Han Dynasty is different from the decree on TV, there is no bright yellow brocade, and there is no pattern of two dragons playing with pearls. It's just an ordinary white silk. I don't know how to write on smooth silk, and I can't see if there are words. I only heard Tian Wei holding the holy decree, standing behind the incense case, and reading it aloud.

"I, since I succeeded to the throne, I have worked hard, I have not forgotten my ancestors' teachings, I have worked hard in political affairs, and I have the mercy of God, and the people have offered salt to comfort the ancestors and ancestors of the Han Dynasty,......"

For five minutes, Tian Wei gushed endlessly. Su Ren's legs were numb on his knees, but he didn't dare to move, and the fine sweat on his forehead had turned into beads of sweat the size of beans, falling to the ground one by one. He had already greeted Tian Wei's eighteenth generation ancestor and Liu Che's ancestor in his heart, but he still didn't see the end. I didn't understand the words in the song very clearly, and until now I didn't even mention Su Ren, and I told the emperor's diligence throughout. I don't know who wrote this thing, but the sycophants are absolutely first-class.

"There is Zuo Suren in Wenshui County, who has meritorious service in offering treasures, giving knights the ninth class, and ten brocade horses!"

After reciting the holy decree, Tian Wei respectfully placed the holy decree on the incense table: "Salute!" ”

Everyone shouted long live, and Tian Wei also knelt down and kowtowed. After kneeling three times and knocking nine times, Tian Wei was the first to stand up and scan the courtyard, where everyone was still kneeling, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. This time he came on his own initiative, with a mission, and of course reading the decree was just a side job.

"Get up! The ninth-class title is already considered a high lord, and Su Xianzuo can't worship us anymore when he sees us in the future, which is detrimental to the dignity of the imperial court! Tian Wei smiled all over his face and personally helped Su Ren up. How to say that Su Ren is also the protagonist today, and he should give some face.

Su Ren hurriedly bowed his hand: "Thank you Wu'anhou for your teachings, the villain remembers." ”

"Hmmm! Very good, since this matter is over, I should also go back to Chang'an to give the decree......"

Su Ren hurriedly said: "Marquis Wu'an came in a hurry, reported such a great joy to the villain, it is really unreasonable not to invite the Marquis of Wu'an to use Jue water and wine, they all know that Marquis Wu'an is diligent in state affairs, seeing that it is still early, I asked Marquis Wu'an to take a moment, and the villain also did his best to be a landlord." ”

"Hehe, very good at talking!" Tian Wei has been in the court for so many years, how can the meaning of Su Ren's words be unclear, so he borrowed the slope to get off the donkey: "Since this is the case, then drink some water and wine?" Hehe! ”

Lao Junguan's meals have become famous for their warm water. Leng Yue and Huo Qian had already prepared a table of good wine and dishes, bean sprouts, tofu, stewed mutton, stir-fried pork liver, elbows and other various dishes were full of slices. Su Ren didn't dare to make a round table, he still used a small case, everyone knelt and sat down, Hawking took a few little children, and brought delicious food back and forth, just like that, the style and aroma have made many people salutate.

Chang Shi hugged his fist at Tian Wei: "I waited for Wu Anhou to be stained with Wu Anhou today, this kind of delicacy is only available in Lao Junguan, Wu Anhou can taste it, the color and flavor are good, and it may not be able to be eaten in Chang'an." ”

"Oh? Is it really amazing? Tian Wei pretended to be calm, his eyes kept turning around the dishes in front of him, and he pointed to the bean sprouts and asked, "What is this?" Looks like beans? ”

Su Ren explained: "Wu Anhou is really well-informed, this thing is indeed made of beans, called bean sprouts, which are the sprouts of beans, after hot water, they taste crisp and delicious, and they are superb. ”

Tian Wei took a few with chopsticks, put them in his mouth, and chewed them carefully, which was indeed crisp and delicious: "Good! Good! I don't know who did it, but I want to see him today. ”

Chang Shi hurriedly smiled and said: "Don't look for Wu Anhou, this case full of delicacies is all from Mr. Su's whimsy." ”

"Oh?" It wasn't until this moment that Tian Wei paid attention to Su Ren, and from this bean sprouts, he could know that the method of making salt might really come from this person's hand. Looking at Su Ren again, he was not very old, but there were strange eyes on his childish face, vaguely revealing contempt. This expression does not match the seventeen or eighteen-year-old doll at all.

At that meal, Su Ren behaved quite decently. In later generations, the trick of accompanying the leader to dinner is the most suitable here, what is called persuasion of wine, and what is called guessing boxing. Tian Wei came up from a scoundrel in the market, and he was too familiar with this set. There was also a strong instigation of Chang Shi and Hou Jian, so that the Wen Party kept frowning.

After being full of wine and food, Tian Wei was helped to climb into the carriage, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw a huge box in the back seat of the carriage, and he knew what was in it without guessing. glanced at the relatives next to him, and the relatives whispered a few words in Tian Wei's ear. Tian Wei looked at Su Ren's eyes again, and it had turned into appreciation.

"Mr. Su, can you give Ben Hou a ride?"

"Even if Wu Anhou doesn't say it, the villain has to give you a ride, this is a courtesy!"

"Good!" Tian Wei smiled, stepped back, and let go of the carriage door, Su Ren was unceremonious, and leaned in in the envious and hateful eyes of others.

The carriage slowly drove along the main road towards Wenshui County. The guards of honor, pennants, and guards gathered all around, and they couldn't go fast if they wanted to. The wide carriage swayed from side to side as the road undulated, and the wheels creaked. Unlike the sweltering heat outside, it was cold inside the carriage, presumably with ice cubes under it. Su Ren said in his heart, this Tian Wei will really enjoy it.

Tian Wei patted the box and looked at Su Ren: "Mr. Su gave such a big gift, do you have anything to say?" ”

Su Ren smiled awkwardly. He has never given a gift to a leader, and he will not ask for a gift from a small staff member. I didn't have much time to think about how to answer, so I was straightforward: "When I asked Wu Anhou to ask, the villain didn't dare not say it, and there were indeed some small things that I wanted Wu Anhou to help." ”

"You are a county official, and now you are a big doctor, you can walk sideways in this warm water, how much do you need my help?"

"Not for me, but for Your Majesty."

"What do you mean by that?"

Su Ren hesitated slightly: "Dare to ask Wu Anhou, have you ever seen Liu Wen and Liu Xiancheng when you came?" ”

Tian Wei smiled, his face full of disdain: "A mere county, this candidate is not in his eyes." ”

"What if this county has any ideas?"
