Chapter 14 The Son of Heaven can't get on the boat
Li Hanming's expression of enjoyment made Wang Xiang feel a chill, can you drink this tea, you still enjoy it, what are the things here, ginger? Scallions? There are also grains of rat droppings, whether this Nima is tea or soup with ingredients.
Ning Xiang was still very confident in her skills in making tea, and when she saw Wang Xiang holding the teacup and looking at it for a long time without taking a sip, she asked, "Wang Gongzi doesn't like the tea made by the little woman?" ”
"This ...... I don't usually like to drink tea. ”
Li Huiming took a sip of tea and said with a face full of enjoyment: "The tea made by Miss Ning Xiang is really the best, it's a pity that Brother Wang doesn't drink it." ”
Forget it, we don't despise your taste, Wang Xiangtui said: "And I still like to drink when the weather is cold." ”
Ning Xiang was a little surprised but did not doubt him, and said with a smile: "Childe wants to drink?" It just so happens that I have a pot of treasured wine, so let Xiaocui take it, and by the way, bring some snacks over, the poetry club has not eaten until now, presumably the son is also a little hungry. ”
Wang Xiang was dressed like a zongzi today, as if he was really afraid of the cold, and Ning Xiang said again: "If Wang Gongzi is afraid of the cold, I will ask Xiaocui to light the stove." ”
"That's very good." Although the wine in the Tang Dynasty is not very good, but at least it is much better than tea, and it is okay to wear less on a cold day, since there is a stove, why not go earlier, I really don't know what you think.
Wang Xiang was still complaining in his heart, but Xiao Cui on the side was muttering: That pot of wine has been treasured for a long time, and today is cheap for you. And Miss hates fireworks the most on weekdays, but today she wants a stove, and she blames you, a big man is so afraid of the cold is not as good as me.
In fact, Wang Xiangshi had eaten two large bowls of hot noodle soup before the meeting, and he was not very hungry, but he saw that the dim sum served by Xiaocui was very exquisite, which made people very appetizing when they saw it, so he was not polite.
A pot of sake, four plates of dim sum, and a beautiful woman to accompany him, Wang Xiang felt that this trip was not bad, although Ning Xiang was a woman, her conversation and insight were more than a little stronger than Li Huiming's gentleman. Alluring posture, elegant conversation, and good at singing and dancing, the most rare thing is that he has a delicate heart, Wang Xiang feels more and more that it is a pity that such a woman is trapped in Leaning on Cuilou, he is confident that he can make Ning Xiang the most popular superstar in the Tang Dynasty, but the ransom fee of 50,000 taels of silver is not something he can get now, and this matter has to be discussed in the long run.
Lighting the stove, the inside of the painting boat suddenly warmed up a lot, and the three of them were drinking and laughing, when suddenly a rough voice came from outside.
"My master asked the prince to come and speak."
Wang Xiang opened the bead curtain and looked through the window of the cabin, there was a small boat docked outside, and there was a big man standing at the bow, it was the big man who reprimanded Wang Xiang when he was eating hot noodle soup before, and he looked proud, where he looked like he was inviting someone, so he said lightly: "You go back by yourself, I don't have time to see your master at the moment." ”
Dahan was a little displeased with Wang Xiang earlier, and when he heard the words, he said: "My master is not an ordinary person, you don't have to regret it." ”
Ning Xiang on the side seemed to see that the identity of the big man was not simple, and whispered to Wang Xiang: "I see that this person is extraordinary, and his master is probably quite powerful, so the son should go with him first." ”
The big man laughed and said, "This little lady is still interesting!" You should honestly follow me to meet my master. ”
Seeing that the big man looked arrogant and determined to eat himself, Wang Xiang's stubborn temper also came up, raised his wine glass and drank it all, looked up at the sky and said: "Raise your eyes and look at the blue sky, the prince will be like an idle person, the Son of Heaven will not get on the boat, and the wine fairy will be on Jinguang Lake." ”
"Bold!"
Wang Xiang put down the bead curtain and ignored the big man, seeing that Ning Xiang's face was gloomy, he said with a smile: "Don't pay attention to those who don't know how to be polite, let's continue to drink." ”
The little girl on the side pouted: "That's it, that person is so rude, when we ate hot noodle soup before, the young master just didn't answer his master's words, he scolded us, it's really annoying." ”
Ning Xiang saw that Wang Xiang looked indifferent, so she had to nod and say, "I'll help my son pour wine." "One of the people sitting here is the little marquis of the Marquis of Linchuan's mansion, and the other is the second son of the king of Hejian, so there is really no need to worry too much.
"Li Gongzi, what's wrong with you?" When Ning Xiang helped Li Huiming pour wine, he found that he was a little distracted, so he asked.
"I seem to know that person just now."
Wang Xiang heard Li Hanming say that he knew the big man and asked curiously: "Who is the family that invites people to be so arrogant?" ”
Li Hanming shrunk his neck and whispered: "He is not a subordinate, he is the great general Hou Junji." ”
Ouch,, Wang Xiang suddenly stumbled, the wine glass was knocked over by him, and there were thousands of enthusiastic grass and mud horses whistling past in his heart.
Since the big man who doesn't know how to be polite is the general Hou Junji, then the master in his mouth knows who it is with his ass, seeing Li Hanming looking at him with a sympathetic face, Wang Xiang really wants to go up and slap him to death, Nima, you don't say it when Lao Tzu pretends to be forced, and you don't say it until you finish pretending to force and cause trouble!
I knew that I didn't pretend to say that the Son of Heaven couldn't get on the boat, and when I opened the bead curtain, I saw that Hou Junji's boat had gone away, and I didn't know how to sue Li Er when I went back, Hou Junji in history was not a good stubble.
Ning Xiang saw Wang Xiang's dejected appearance and persuaded: "Wang Gongzi should hurry up and ask for guilt." ”
Everyone has been offended Is it useful to ask for guilt now Wang Xiang smiled bitterly and shook his head and set the wine glass, but everyone was worried and lost the interest in drinking.
……
Li Shimin saw Hou Junji coming back and asked strangely, "Where is Wang Zixin?" ”
He discussed it with Empress Changsun just now, and felt that it was more appropriate for Wang Xiang to handle the matter of potatoes, after all, it was related to the livelihood of tens of millions of people in the Tang Dynasty at this time, and only Wang Xiang knew something about the potatoes. There were only a dozen potatoes in total from Wang Xiang, and Li Shimin didn't dare to let the people of Si Nongjian try them casually. Last year's severe cold caused the people's harvest to be much smaller than in previous years, and in some places the yield of less than one stone of grain per mu was reduced, and although taxes were reduced to prevent famine, the people's life was still not very good, and Li Shimin felt more and more that the matter of popularizing potato seedlings could not be delayed.
Hearing Li Shimin's question, Hou Junji shook his head and said, "That prince is proud of his talent and doesn't want to come over." ”
Empress Eldest Sun smiled and said, "It's normal for him to be a little arrogant just after he won the first place in the poetry club, what did he say?" ”
Hou Junji said angrily: "I went to invite him, but the prince asked me to come back by myself, and said that he was not available to come over at the moment." ”
Li Shimin said angrily when he heard this: "What a big courage, I haven't cured him of the crime of instigating King Jin to drink last time!" ”
After Li Zhi woke up that day, he kept saying good things about Wang Xiang in front of Empress Changsun, and Wang Xiang was indeed a rare poet and offered such auspicious potatoes, so Empress Changsun had a good impression of him, and said with a smile: "Didn't the young slave and Qinghe say that it was the concubine who instigated the young slave to drink that day. ”
"Hmph, that wine is always new to the prince." Li Shimin snorted coldly, and said in his heart: I can't say anything about the old Cheng family, and the knife stand to the neck doesn't work.
After pondering for a moment, Li Shimin said angrily: "The matter of instigating the King of Jin to drink is considered to be his merit and demerit, shouldn't he be punished for refusing my invitation for a Qinglou woman this time?" ”
Hou Junji on the side was a little surprised when he heard Li Shimin's words, he didn't know about Li Zhi's drinking, and he wondered in his heart: Prince Xin instigated King Jin to drink and His Majesty actually didn't treat him. Did the prince have any credit for it, and it could be offset by the sin of instigating King Jin to drink. He only knew that Wei Chi Jingde brought back a kind of auspicious rui called potatoes, but he didn't know that the potatoes were offered by Wang Xiang.
Empress Eldest Sun said with relief: "Erlang, don't be angry, it must be that the prince Xin doesn't know our identity, it's better to go back and directly announce that the prince is new to the palace, and the young slave told me yesterday that he wanted to go to the Linchuan Marquis Mansion to find the prince Xin and listen to him tell the story he didn't finish last time." ”
"Don't let the slave learn badly with him." Li Shimin's tone finally softened a little, but what he thought in his heart was that if the new potatoes offered by the prince could really reach the yield of twenty stones per mu he said, this credit was not ordinary, and it was best for him to do more things, so that the merits and demerits would be compensated, otherwise I really don't know how to reward them.
Hou Junji saw that Li Shimin seemed to have no intention of pursuing it, and hurriedly said: "That prince is not ordinary bold, he also wrote a poem. He didn't plan to let Wang Xiang go so easily.
"Oh? What poems did he compose? Li Shimin asked curiously, he didn't expect Hou Junji to go to invite people, but the prince also wrote a poem.
"Just now, Erlang was full of praise for that side poem, but I didn't expect him to make another poem at this time." Empress Yingying smiled and was also very curious.
Hou Junji said: "That prince Xin refused the invitation of the minister, I will say that my master is not an ordinary person, you don't have to regret it." ”
Li Shimin was a little dissatisfied when he heard this: "Didn't you ask you not to reveal your identity?" ”
Hou Junji said in a panic: "The minister only said this, and did not reveal his identity. ”
Li Shimin asked lightly: "Then how did he react?" ”
Although Hou Junji has followed Li Shimin for many years, and now he is in the position of a general, he has always been afraid of Li Shimin, and he will be afraid of Li Shimin if he is slightly dissatisfied, perhaps this is one of the reasons why he later rebelled with the crown prince Li Chengqian.
The prince was very arrogant, raised his glass and drank, raised his head and said: Raise your eyes and look at the blue sky, the prince will be idle, the son of heaven will not be on the boat, and the wine on the Jinguang Lake is immortal. After saying that, he put down the beaded curtain, and I came back alone. ”
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Li Shimin not only did not get angry, but laughed and said: "A good son of heaven can't get on the boat, and there is a fairy in wine on Jinguang Lake." I want to meet him, the wine fairy on the Golden Light Lake. ”
Empress Changsun also covered her mouth and smiled: "When I saw him eating hot noodle soup before, I seemed to be quite disdainful of fame and fortune, but now this poem really looks like he wrote it, and most of his previous squirming was also an illusion." ”
Li Shimin said with a smile: "Well, since I can't come to this wine fairy, let's go and see him in person." ”
