Chapter 54: Shen Zhuo of a Thousand Households

Seeing him reply like this, Tang Feng's faces suddenly sank, and their hearts were quite unhappy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoYou must know that Tang Feng is now the deputy Qianhu of Jinyiwei Zhejiang, and even if the Qianhu adults here are not good to greet him in person, there should always be a few people who come out of the bottom of the house.

But it was this soldier who came out and asked them to go in, and this attitude was too indifferent to the few of them. However, they were newcomers after all, and they knew that the other party must have been taken care of by those big people in the capital, so they would give them such a disadvantage, so they had to endure it. Then the two men watched the two guards take prisoners, while the others followed the soldier into the gate.

On the outside, you can already feel the grandeur and exquisiteness of this mansion, and when you enter the door and walk on the winding corridor, you can feel the ingenuity here. Every flower and tree here, every rockery seems to be so harmonious with everything around it, which shows the energy spent here. Not to mention how elaborate the pavilions that rose from the ground were, and how much money this house would cost.

After walking for a long time, everyone finally came to a rather imposing hall. At this time, there were two rows of more than twenty guards dressed in brocade clothes standing in front of the hall, and seeing their protruding chests and bellies was also a bit imposing, these people also stared at Tang Feng and the others.

"Haha, I didn't expect Tang Qianhu to come here a year ago, it's really surprising." A middle-aged man in brocade with a pale face, a bloated body and a big belly, walked out of the hall, smiled and waved at them, and said, "Everyone, please come in." ”

"This is our Lord Qianhu, Sun Zhuo." The soldier was not stupid, and introduced them to Yang Zhen, saving some trouble.

"Xiaguan see Sun Qianhu!" Even if he was slandered by such a pomp and circumstance of this thousand households, Tang Feng still seemed to understand the rules very well in person, and immediately stepped forward and nodded on one knee and paid homage. Yang Zhen and the others naturally couldn't stand there, so they also knelt on the ground to salute.

Seeing them like this, Shen Zhuo laughed even more heartily, and took a few steps forward to help Tang Feng up, and said with a smile: "Tang Qianhu is too polite, please hurry up." Come, there are refreshments prepared for you, and after the tea is used, the official will invite you to go to the outer building to wash the dust. ”

The guards who were originally standing on both sides saw Tang Feng and them obeying the rules so well, and the guarded meaning hidden in their eyes just now dissipated, and then retreated silently. Obviously, Shen Zhuo had made arrangements just now, for fear that Tang Feng and the others would do something out of the cabinet.

Tang Feng and the others took advantage of the situation to get up and said, "Your Excellency is too polite. Then he walked into the hall with Shen Zhuo, and saw that there were indeed a lot of tea and snacks on the table inside. It had been almost an hour since a few people entered the city, and their stomachs were indeed a little hungry and thirsty, so they were no longer polite, and after they sat down one after another, they began to eat and drink.

Yang Zhen took a bite of soft and glutinous snacks, tasted tea, and suddenly felt that his mouth was full of fragrance and endless aftertaste. Not to mention that he had never enjoyed such a good tea in Wuchang, even in his previous life, he had never drunk such fragrant tea with good aroma and taste.

Over there, Shen Zhuo also took a sip of tea, and then looked at Tang Feng with a smile and said, "What does Tang Qianhu think this tea tastes like?" ”

"Please also ask Lord Qianhu not to call Xia Guan Qianhu anymore, just call me Tang Feng." Tang Feng arched his hand slightly, expressing humility, and then replied: "This tea does taste very good, the aftertaste is sweet, it is a good tea that Xiaguan has never tasted, I think this is West Lake Longjing, right?" ”

Shen Zhuo smiled even more happily: "Since you say so, then I will call you Brother Tang." Brother Tang, your vision is good, this is indeed the West Lake Longjing, and it is the Shifeng Longjing of the Ming Dynasty. Only this fine tea can maintain such an excellent flavor almost a year after being picked. ”

The others hadn't reacted much, but Tang Feng, who knew the value of Shifeng Longjing, was moved. Although this West Lake Longjing is famous all over the world and the price is expensive, it can be bought with money after all. But those ordinary Longjing tea are just borrowing a fame, only this Shifeng Longjing is the best in Longjing, and it is the real soul of Longjing tea.

It is said that this authentic Shifeng Longjing can only produce 18 tea trees, and the output of only a few dozen catties of tea is produced throughout the year. Most of them will be sent to Beijing as tribute, and it is difficult for people or ordinary officialdom to get a few taels. And today, Yang Zhen and the others tasted the Shifeng Longjing here in Shen Zhuo, how could they not be surprised?

"Hehe, it's just a little tea, Brother Tang doesn't have to look like this." Seeing that Tang Feng was a little nervous, Shen Zhuo smiled secretly in his heart, and his face was still with that calm and breezy appearance: "I heard that you have handled a good case in Wuchang, and you have also added a lot of glory to our Jinyiwei, so I must always say something as your future boss." If you don't dislike it, I still have a catty of Shifeng Longjing, you take half a catty, and after the spring next year, I will give you two catties. ”

"How can this be ......" Tang Feng originally wanted to push it back, but after thinking about it, he changed his words again: "How dare you be a subordinate official?" But since it was Shen Qianhu's heart, the lower officials accepted it. ”

"Hehe, that's the best." Shen Zhuo suddenly felt relaxed, and his smile was even better. After raising his eyes to see the sky outside that had completely darkened, he said: "It's not too early, let's go, let's go to the outer building to pick up the wind and wash the dust for you." ”

"Uh...... Adults and slow. Xia Guan has another matter to report. Tang Feng saw that he was about to lead everyone to dinner, so he hurriedly got up and said.

"Oh? But what is it? As he spoke, Shen Zhuo's face sank slightly, as if he was unhappy.

"That's the case, when Xiaguan and the others came from Huguang, they were attacked on the canal......" Tang Feng briefly said that he and the others were fighting with Huang Zhaoxu and the others, but he hid the Cao Gang.

Even so, Shen Zhuo frowned again and again when he heard this: "Are you saying that you not only killed all the people who attacked, but also captured two alive?" Are you sure they are the Tie Guard, a close confidant of Hu Lin, the governor of Huguang? ”

"Exactly!" Tang Feng's answer was categorical, without hesitation or uncertainty.

"Then in your opinion, what should be done?"

"This ...... Now that the lower officials are under the command of the Lord of Qianhu, they should obey the arrangements of the adults. ”

Seeing that he had such an attitude, Shen Zhuo's expression looked better. After groaning, he said, "In that case, let's take care of people first." Now that it is almost the New Year's Day, it is really not appropriate to cause more trouble. And I heard that Hu Lin's crime is not light, even if he doesn't have this one, it is enough for him to bear. ”

"Let the adults do it." Tang Feng seemed to be very regular, which seemed a little abnormal in the eyes of Yang Zhen and the others. But Shen Zhuo didn't know this, seeing that he was so obedient, he was overjoyed, so he waved his hand and said, "Don't mention these troubles, go, and follow me to the outer building." ”

If you want to say which restaurant in the whole Hangzhou city is the most famous, you have to push this Louwailou located at the southern foot of the lonely mountain. Its name naturally comes from the famous sentence that has been sung for thousands of years, "the green mountain outside the mountain, the West Lake song and dance when will it be closed", although there is no song and dance in the building outside the building today, but the scenery of the green mountain outside the mountain is still the same.

Located on the side of the West Lake, on the side of the lonely mountain, the five-story outer building is so eye-catching. When guests stand on the top of the highest five floors and look down, they can take in the beautiful scenery of the entire West Lake, which makes people's hearts open and their gods happy.

Enjoying food in such a beautiful place is naturally desirable for everyone, but Louwailou is not something that ordinary people can enter, because the price of wine and food here is also the highest in Hangzhou. Waiting for a table of wine and food will cost more than ten taels of silver, which is enough for half a year's expenses for an average family. And this banquet like today's Shen Zhuo banquet Tang Feng and a dozen or so people set up, but it costs hundreds of taels of silver to be able to hold it.

West Lake vinegar fish, Dongpo meat, called chicken, Song sister-in-law fish soup, West Lake lotus root...... On the table are all the most famous foods in Hangzhou. These dishes are either refreshing or thick, each of which has both color and flavor, not to mention eating, even if you look at it, you will have to move your index finger.

There is good food, and naturally there is also good wine. The wine on this table is viscous as a pulp when poured out, but when it enters the cup, it is bright and amber-like piece, and the aroma of the wine is overflowing, which is the daughter of the famous wine.

It is said that when each family in Zhejiang gives birth to a child, they will brew a few jars of good wine and bury it in the backyard, until the day when the daughter gets married, or the son takes the test, or the day of marriage, these wines will be taken out to feast relatives and friends. After more than 10 years of cellaring, this wine has a natural and excellent flavor, with a thick mouth and a sweet aftertaste.

Drinking such a good wine and eating such a delicious meal, Tang Feng and the others were naturally in a very good mood. When the atmosphere was already very active after a few rounds of wine, Tang Feng asked Shen Zhuo with the intention of drinking: "Qianhu, I don't know what errands our brothers can do here next?" Is it secretly staring at the local officials in Zhejiang, or is there another arrangement? ”

"Well, this official can't be the master for a while. In this way, after the New Year, you can go to the West Lake to ask for an errand from the father-in-law of Shou'an. Shen Zhuo, who was a little drunk, replied casually.

Yang Zhen listened below, his expression changed, and sure enough, he found that a trace of gloom flashed in Tang Feng's eyes. However, no one else noticed the strangeness of the two of them, and everyone had never enjoyed such a meal all the way, so they all threw themselves on the wine table.

Just when everyone was pushing their glasses and changing their glasses, and they were half drunk, a slightly feminine voice came from outside: "But is Shen Qianhu here?" ”

"Yo, it's Grandpa An!" As soon as Shen Zhuo heard the voice, he immediately stood up from his seat, hurriedly went out of the door, and invited a man in a brocade robe.

Yang Zhen raised his eyes to look, but saw that the person who came was not tall, his body was thin, his face was thin and long, and it was a standard horse face. But his eyes were very different, just looking at his bearing when he came in, Yang Zhen could see that this was a person who had lived on the people for a long time and was used to giving orders.

"Come, let me introduce you to you, this is the town guard An Gonggong I just mentioned, An Gonggong, these are the Jinyi guards from Wuchang." Shen Zhuo had already shown a cautious appearance at this time, and accompanied An Gong, who was one step ahead of him, to be fair.

The person who came was the eunuch of Hangzhou, who left Anli.
