Chapter XVII Highest Standards
"This is Xue Gongzi's latest ice cream and red bean paste to quench your thirst. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Ah Lian explained, stepped forward to open the porcelain jar, took out two small porcelain bowls, and added: "I have already experienced it, so you can use it with confidence." ”
Seeing the Xiaoice cubes mixed with milk, juice and pulp in the bowl, and the 10,000 ice chips on top of the red bean cover, Dao Gu frowned slightly, and said softly: "It's good to look at, since you have experienced, Brother also try it!" ”
"It's interesting, it looks better than the ice food made in the dining room!" The middle-aged man admired softly, picked up the small porcelain bowl and asked in a deep voice, "Which Xue Gongzi made this thing?" ”
Dao Gu said lightly: "It's just an ordinary vendor on the street. ”
"Really?" The middle-aged man held the red bean paste and said leisurely: "The red beans are born in the south...... Is it just a coincidence? Isn't it Xiaomei's lover who has appeared? ”
"Brother, where do you want to go?" Dao Gu suddenly felt a little helplessly embarrassed, and a trace of panicked shyness flashed on her face.
"Really, not?"
"I haven't met, I don't believe that Brother Ah can ask Ah Lian."
When the middle-aged man turned his head to look over, Ah Lian hurriedly said: "This Xue Gongzi's name is Xue Zong, and his family house is about in the area of Bianhe Zhou Bridge, and he looks like he is fifteen or sixteen years old. ”
"Xue Zong, fifteen or sixteen years old!" The middle-aged man whispered to himself, and a person he had never met before, but was impressed, had already appeared in his mind.
Dao Gu was surprised and said, "What, Brother knows about this person?" ”
"The names are similar, but I don't know if they're the same person." The middle-aged man said, "These strange foods are all made by this person?" ”
"Yes!" Ah Lian said: "Xue Gongzi not only knows how to cook delicious, but also has great skills, eloquence, and knowledge? ”
"Oh?" The middle-aged man was suddenly full of curiosity and asked, "How can you see it?" ”
"I ...... on the bank of the Bianhe River that day," Ah Lian immediately told what happened to the party members that day.
When the middle-aged man heard this, he frowned at first and was quite angry, but finally a sudden look appeared for some reason.
"Brother......" Dao Gu noticed something unusual and asked softly.
"It's okay, it looks like this teenager is a little interesting!" The middle-aged man laughed, full of interest.
Dao Gu understood and said with a smile: "Ah Lian mentioned at the time, I knew that he was a young man, the pearl was brilliant, and sooner or later he would be discovered by his brother, but I didn't expect it to be so soon!" ”
"I didn't expect it, I can also hear the name of this son when I come to Xiaomei, it seems a little unusual, I have to pay attention to it." The middle-aged man laughed.
Dao Gu smiled: "If you can make Brother notice, it must be extraordinary, such a talent, cooking delicious food is really a bit overkill." ”
"It's a talent, and he won't be buried, but it's your little sister ......" The middle-aged man sighed lightly: "After all, those things in the early years have become a thing of the past, why do you bother to worry about it and suffer yourself?" Your parents know in the spirit of heaven, and they will blame your brother for not taking good care of you. ”
"Brother don't mind, it's good now, I like it very much." Dao Gu was neither happy nor sad, her tone was extremely calm, but there was a hint of sadness in her expression.
The middle-aged man saw it in his eyes, sighed in his heart, and said softly: "Despite this, Brother Wei still hopes that you can meet a lover and be happy." ”
"Hmm!" Dao Gu nodded lightly, maybe it was just a simple perfunctory, maybe she did have such an expectation, and then picked up the red bean paste and fed it to her mouth silently.
A sense of sweetness and coolness suddenly fills the mouth and goes straight to the heart......
……
Since that day the controversy in the court, although there is no clear will, there is no clear resolution. But the issue of the annual gift to Western Xia must be re-discussed and re-negotiated.
According to the original number of promises, it is a bribe, and a "Theory of the Six Kingdoms" has set the tone for this matter, and now no one dares to cross the thunder pool lightly, so as not to leave a handle.
Although the prime ministers of the two provinces were very unhappy, they had to renegotiate with the Tangut people. In the concierge courtyard of Honglu Temple, the quarrel over this matter has been going on for several days.
The invincible Western Xia fierce general Yeli Capture Tiger naturally refused to agree, and reacted very violently, claiming that if the Great Song Dynasty did not agree to the request of the New Year, then he could only meet on the battlefield.
originally thought that he could bluff the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, but the result was a little different, and the timid and fearful prime ministers stopped talking. On the contrary, several newly promoted Privy Council Vice-Councillors were resolute, not weaker in the slightest, and did not give in.
This abnormal behavior made Yeli Capture Tiger a little inexplicable and confused, and he was a little more uneasy in his heart, and snorted coldly: "Who is in charge of your Great Song?" ”
"The affairs of the world are naturally the official and holy judgments!"
Fan Zhongyan replied loudly, in which the word "world" is used very cleverly, the shore of the land is not a royal minister, and Western Xia is also a vassal of the Great Song Dynasty.
"Then you guys should not be noisy, let's talk about it in the Zhao official family!" Yeli Capture Tiger seems to have a bad attitude and disrespectful words, but it is not as arrogant as before.
"Humph!" Han Qi snorted coldly and said, "Rude, what are you, what qualifications do you have to talk to the official family?" ”
"You ......" Although Yeli captures the tiger is not convinced, it is indeed the case on the table, he knows very well that whenever it comes to the dignity of the country and the emperor, it is to violate the bottom line of the Great Song Dynasty, and there is no possibility of talking about it.
"I'm waiting for the order to come to negotiate, I've already given you enough face, don't be dissatisfied." Jia Changchao, the governor of the political council, said coldly, which can be regarded as an expression of attitude.
"200,000 silver, 200,000 silk, 100,000 tea, not less than a pound or tael."
"50,000 in silver, 100,000 in silk, and 30,000 in tea, it won't be a penny more."
After Yeli captured the tiger and emphasized the amount, Fan Zhongyan took the lead to give a counteroffer, which was the most desired result after yesterday's discussion among the prime ministers.
The expectations are very good, but the reality may be cruel, so the prime ministers did not report much hope, but planned to bargain on this basis, as little as possible.
"No, if that's the case, we'll only see you on the battlefield." Yeli Tiger snorted coldly, and his attitude seemed to be resolute.
"Okay!"
Although the expressions of Yan Shu and Jia Changchao on the side were not very good-looking, Han Qi deliberately pretended not to see it, and still stubbornly entered the scene.
"It's just a defeated soldier, and you dare to think so highly of yourself?" Yeli Capture Tiger recognized Han Qi, and he had to use the old things of Shuichuan to depreciate.
Han Qi frowned, and there were blue tendons hidden on his forehead, and finally clenched his fists and said loudly: "Hmph, I am planning to avenge the heroic spirits who died in Haoshuichuan, so that you can know the power of the Great Song Dynasty." ”
"Okay, I'll go back to Xiping Mansion to reorganize the armament and see you on the battlefield." Yeli grabbed the tiger with no patience, and wanted to brush his sleeves away, and the posture of swords and soldiers meeting each other.
"General let's go!"
Fan Zhongyan had no intention of stopping and retaining, and said in a deep voice: "Now that I am gone, I can't get a horse of silk or a pound of tea, and if I don't have money and food, can the party soldiers still fight if they are hungry?" Don't let us win when the time comes, and shout that we won't be able to win. ”
"You ......"
Yeli Capture Tiger seemed to be annoyed and angry, and after his flushed face calmed down a little, he spit out a sentence: "100,000 silver, 100,000 silk, 50,000 tea, no less!" ”
"50,000 silver, 50,000 silk, 30,000 tea, no more money." It was reduced by half all at once, which was enough to surprise people, and when Yan Shu and Zhang Dexiang were moved and had the intention of agreeing, Fan Zhongyan took the lead and adhered to the previous "highest standard".
Ye Li grabbed the tiger and said politely: "Da Song is so insincere, you have to meet each other regularly, right?" ”
"If the general is determined to think so, then it is over there, and it is futile for us to explain anything, whether to go or stay, whether to fight or to make peace, the general will please."
Han Qi's attitude is very resolute, since the party members have relaxed for the first time, it shows that they are strong from outside and cadres in the middle, and they have no heart to fight, and they are sure of victory, so in this case, what is the reason not to insist on being tough?
"Well... You..."
Ye Li caught the tiger and suddenly found that he was a little difficult to ride a tiger, and he was very curious about what caused the attitude of the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty to change so much that it was like two people.
Could it be because he was galloping on the streets of Bianliang that day and causing a storm? A layer of gloom suddenly floated in the heart of Yeli Capture Tiger, the peace talks did not meet the "highest standard" of the lord of the country, and it was a little difficult to go back!
