Chapter 161 After handing over the letter of the seal, Zhao Wenhua said with a serious face: "Humble words, you can get this grace, it all depends on the favor of Yan Ge Lao, and you can know the grace of being a man." ”

Seeing that Shen Mo was only responding, Zhao Shilang smiled and said: "You are the future pillar of the imperial court, but the most important thing to do now is to study hard, and strive to be a Zhongjinshi as soon as possible, and order Hanlin." As for local government affairs, it is already very complicated, and it involves the major event of resisting Japanese aggression, so you little child should not follow the mess, and it is up to us old men to worry about it. ”

Shen Mo said with a humble face: "The students follow the teachings of the adults, and only read the books of the sages and sages, and do not listen to the things outside the window. He said very sincerely, "I won't trouble you." ”

Very satisfied with his attitude, Zhao Shilang smiled and said, "Very good, very good." The conversation changed and said: "Of course, Your Majesty still has expectations for you, and if you don't submit a letter, the Holy Lord will be disappointed." ”

Shen Mo said with a frightened face: "Please teach me, adult." ”

"Well...... This official is not good to act on his behalf. "Zhao Wenhua twisted the mustache.

Tang Shunzhi said with a smile on the side: "My lord has been in the center for a long time, and he has a thousand years in his mind, please help my little nephew." ”

"So be it." Zhao Wenhua reluctantly replied: "At the end of each month, I will hand you some things that should be reported, you sort them out, and write them in your own tone and send them out." ”

Shen Mo thanked inexplicably and said, "Thank you for your help." ”

Tang Shunzhi also smiled: "The adults are carrying the backwards, and there is really the style of the ancient benevolent!" ”

The two of them praised each other, which made Zhao Wenhua happy, and couldn't help laughing: "Others think that I, Zhao Wenhua, am going back after the sea sacrifice, I want to be stationed in Zhejiang and do something to show those forgetful calves!" ”

Tang Shunzhi and Shen Mo's eyes quickly looked at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes...... originally thought that this guy was a stinky wind blowing through Zhejiang, but who knew that he was going to become a rotten nail, and he wouldn't leave here!

Zhao Wenhua didn't notice their abnormality, and got up with a smile and said, "Let's go out." ”

The two separated from each other, bowed and said, "Your Excellency, please." And he went out and sat down beside him.

Zhao Wenhua went out and took a look, oh, there were really a lot of people coming. I asked, and there were 1,084 people in total. Among these people, some of them are officials in the city, and more are famous Confucian scholars, scholars, squires, and big families in the suburbs.

Being able to put these positions together, it can be seen that Tang Shunzhi has worked hard, and no one knows his intentions at this time, but the prefect is so happy that he is unwilling to lose face in front of the Qincha.

After Lord Qincha greeted everyone and sat down, everyone sat down in an uproar, and the master of ceremonies shouted: "Open the banquet ......" The dishes came up like water, nothing more than some chicken, duck and fish, and the most valuable thing was a piece of Tianxiang abalone and a pair of pipa prawns per person, in fact, there were no rare things...... But everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva, and they had to restrain themselves so as not to reach out and grab it. It's not that they don't have a chance, but everyone has not been halfway through the time since they got up in the morning, and the rice has not been eaten, and they all rely on bowls of tea and candied dried fruits on the table.

Patiently waiting for the two adults to finish the wine, everyone ate like a storm, hungry, the eating appearance is really not good, causing Zhao Shilang to be surprised, and said in his heart: "It is said that in the rich land of Jiangnan, everyone knows the etiquette and etiquette, how can they be so gluttonous? It's like our natives in Yunnan. But he did not know that he had done the iniquity.

Except for a few old people at the main table he sat on, all of them were officials, and their food appearance was naturally much better...... Of course, the dishes are not comparable to other tables, but are specially invited to cook for the master chef who has cooked for the palace, not to mention the delicacies of the mountains and seas, some ordinary dishes are also cooked exceptionally well.

What especially satisfied Zhao Wenhua was that there were several authentic Yunnan dishes on the table, all of which were placed in front of him. Chewing and chewing, it was like falling into a fairyland, and I almost swallowed my tongue together.

Then try the steamed pork in leaf buns, steamed brain flowers in zongbao, and pickled beef tendons, all of which are authentic, which brought tears to his eyes.

Seeing Lord Qincha crying, everyone hurriedly asked the reason, Zhao Wenhua wiped his tears and said: "Where is it, I left my hometown for half a year, and I met the pure Yunnan flavor here unexpectedly, and I was moved by homesickness for a while." ”

Everyone sighed for a while, and Zhao Shilang asked Tang Shilang for the cook, Tang Shunzhi ordered someone to call him over and ask on the spot, and the cook was very willing, so he directly became Zhao Shilang's waiter.

After everyone ate and drank for a while, Shen Mo accompanied Shen He to toast from table to table, Shen He first toasted thirty tables, and then turned his head to his son and said: "The son inherits his father's business......" and fell drunk and fell over, but fortunately, Shen Mo's eyes were quick, and he quickly held on, and ordered Shen An to be sent to the backyard to rest.

He had no choice but to cheer up, and he started from the thirty-first table, and it took him half an hour to salute all the remaining seventy tables. Although ninety percent of the wine he drank was water mixed in advance, he couldn't help drinking too much, and he felt that the world was spinning for a while, and he also fell drunk.

When he woke up, it was already night, and he felt a dry mouth for a while, and he drank a bowl of honey water mixed with spring flowers, which was much better...... Rubbing his swollen and aching head, he silently put on his clothes and went out, but he saw that the moon in the sky was bright and the stars were scarce, the cups and plates in the courtyard were in disarray, and the ground was full of fish bones, chicken bones, melon and fruit peel cores, and I thought that the servants were also tired, and they had not cleaned it up yet.

He saw someone sitting under the flower tree in the corner of the courtyard, so he walked over a little shaky, and saw that it was Master Shen drinking alone.

Master Shen beckoned him to sit down, only to see that there were only sauced beef, fennel beans and fried tofu on the table, a few side dishes, and a small wine jug. Shen Mo asked softly, "All gone?" ”

Master Shen nodded, and said with a smile: "The guests went home, and the shops were invested, and Zhao Shilang also lived in Shen Yuan accompanied by Tang Mansion Yin. As he spoke, he poured him a glass of wine and said, "Can you still drink it?" ”

Shen Mo smiled bitterly: "I really drank too much, and it was uncomfortable to smell it." ”

"Then talk to the old man." Master Shen smiled: "Today is your big day, Uncle is really happy for you." "It's hard to smile.

Shen Mo asked softly, "Uncle seems to be a little melancholy......"

Master Shen sighed and said, "Do you know that everything today is something I discussed with the Tang Governor's Mansion?" As he spoke, he drank a glass of wine, and said with a self-deprecating face: "If it weren't for my Shen Zhuo's old face and distributing invitations from door to door, it would be impossible for the prefect to gather so many face-to-face figures." ”

Shen Mo was slightly surprised and said, "Uncle, why are you doing this?" ”

"I'm a clear stream who is cut down at home, why do I flatter a corrupt official so much?" Master Shen smiled desolately, and poured a glass of turbid wine directly on his neat clothes, Shen Mo quickly got up and said, "Uncle, you are drunk." ”

"I'm not drunk." Master Shen slowly got up with Shen Mo's shoulders and patted his arm vigorously, his eyes full of expectation. He wanted to say something, but he was stuck in his throat and couldn't make a sound, so he had to shake his head, and with the support of Shen Jing, who heard the sound, he went out and went home.

The night breeze sent the deep and desolate voice of Master Yin: "The water of the waves is clear, and you can wet it; The water of the waves is turbid, and you can wet my feet......"

The next morning, the yard had been cleaned up, and there was no oil stain visible on the ground, only a faint smell of wine in the air, which reminded people of yesterday's feast.

Seven tall soldiers stood on the freshly washed blue brick floor, dressed in tattered military uniforms, and looked nonchalantly at the inspector standing on the steps.

Shen Mo put his hands behind his back and said with a wry smile: "So you will eat me and live with me in the future?" "These old people are the retinues assigned to him by the imperial court.

The first one on the left, with a dirty pheasant tail stuck in his hat, was the leader of these seven soldiers, and he said with a smile: "My lord, you are always a messenger, and the brothers are also sent by Beijing. He smiled and said, "Or you can say that you can move the Beijing camp and let them send the money over every month." ”

Shen Mo bowed his head slightly: "So this official is your food and clothing parents?" ”

"Your Excellency is right." The group of soldiers smiled and said, "We don't have high requirements, just two dry and one thin, just have fish and meat." "It would be great if I could give another two taels of silver every month." As he spoke, he laughed insolently.

Shen Mo also laughed and said, "It's so funny." ”

"My lord, is our statement ridiculous?" The soldier smiled and said.

Shen Mo nodded, and said with a faint smile: "If you eat people's food, you have to obey people, since you regard me as a parent of food and clothing, you have to show yourself as a son." ”

A group of big-headed soldiers looked at each other, and they couldn't imagine that this stinky boy had such a big tone. When the soldier saw him so tough, he immediately softened and laughed continuously: "We are all rough people, we don't like to listen, don't care." ”

Shen Mo also relaxed his expression and said: "After a long time, you will know that I, Shen someone, am by no means a small person, as long as I am a good errand, I have a single coat in summer and a cotton jacket in winter, I will never treat you badly." As he spoke, Feng Feng said: "But if anyone steals and plays tricks and becomes a criminal, he will immediately roll up and go back to your Yanjing!" He said with a low voice, "Did you hear that?" ”

After the tempering of life and death, his momentum was completely different from the original, and he was so shocked that none of these soldiers dared to squeak, and they all nodded obediently, indicating that they must be obedient.
