Chapter 50: The Family Banquet (2)
Wang Zhen closed his eyes and appreciated the feeling that Fan Wangui said, and then asked mysteriously: "Do you know what this tea does?" Wan Gui stood up and said respectfully: "The child is stupid and still hopes that his godfather will give him some advice." Chang Ren, who was sitting on the side, was about to step forward to speak, but was stopped by Jingqi on the side, and kept making eyes at him, which dispelled Chang Ren's idea of stepping forward to speak.
Wangui's dullness made Wang Zhen inexplicably happy, and Wang Zhen said with a smile: "I'll talk about it when I'm free today." Wan Gui said: "The child listens. Wang Zhen drank tea and moistened his throat and said: "There are many tea leaves in the world, and there are few famous teas, among which the big red robe is the most." "Oh? This is the famous big red robe, and it is really a blessing for children to drink this tea today. Wan Gui looked at the tea leaves in the bowl in amazement.
Wang Zhen continued: "The effect of this tea is remarkable, and drinking this tea for a long time has the effect of brightening the eyes and mind, refreshing the mind, in short, there are many benefits. Wan Gui said: "This tea is like a 'good elixir', and the price is not much compared to gold. Wang Zhen said: "It's not that the annual output of this tea is only two catties, and all of them are paid tribute to the emperor." I also got the emperor's favor and rewarded three taels, and I will give you all for a while. Hearing this, Jingqi's heart sank, but Chang Ren couldn't hold it back anymore.
Chang Ren got up and said, "Godfather, no." This tea is so precious, you should always keep it for yourself, how can you give it to others casually. Wan Gui also hurriedly said: "Chang Ren is right, this tea is so precious, and the godfather should keep it for himself to taste." Wang Zhen said, "The sword is given to the hero, this tea is also for those who know how to get it, why can't it, when the two of you come, I asked you like this, but you can't let out a fart, just drink it like drinking cold water." It turns out that I wanted the three of you to divide this tea equally, but the two of you don't understand the tea, so you have to give it to Wangui. Jingqi had no choice but to bury his head in silence, and Chang Ren returned to his seat indignantly and sat down.
Wang Zhen paused for a moment and said: "The people who follow me will naturally not lose you, as long as you do what I tell you to do it wholeheartedly, no matter what the result is, I will know it in my heart." Okay, let's not talk about the trouble, don't go back to the three of you, come with me to dinner. After speaking, he got up and walked outside, while Wan Gui, Chang Ren, and Jing Qi followed closely behind.
"It's rare that everyone has to gather together today, and you guys will eat more." Wang Zhen said to Wan Gui and the three of them, Wang Zhen tore a piece of yellow roast rabbit meat with his hands and stuffed it into his mouth and said to Wan Gui: "You have worked hard all night to taste this taste, which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, oily but not greasy, it is the most delicious, otherwise I wouldn't let you work hard to hunt any hares, I haven't eaten it for a long time." ”
Seeing that the three of them were a little restrained and didn't move their chopsticks, Wang Zhen said: "What else are you embarrassed about in my godfather, it's not the first time that the eldest girl has been on the sedan chair, so it's hard for me to feed the three of you in your mouth." ”
The three of them said in unison: "Thank you, godfather." Then he picked up the chopsticks and ate the vegetables.
Wang Zhen said that the hare meat was so delicious, Chang Ren and Jingqi both tore a piece of rabbit meat with their hands and stuffed it into their mouths and chewed it, Chang Ren said while eating: "As the godfather said, this is really delicious in the world, this thing should only be available in the world, and it is rare to find it in the world." Chang Ren patted Wang Zhen's ass while eating, and Wang Zhen said with a smile: "Just your kid is poor." Wan Gui ate a ball with chopsticks at this time, Wang Zhen saw it and asked suspiciously: "Wan Gui, why are you doing this?" Don't you like this rabbit meat? "Yes, the godfather said that this meat is delicious, why don't you eat it, are you doubting that the godfather will not succeed?" Chang Ren saw that Wang Zhen was scolding Wangui, and he also added oil and vinegar to Wangui on the side.
Just now in the lobby, Wang Zhen said that he wanted to give three taels of red robes to Wan Gui, and Chang Ren has always been uncomfortable in his heart, and he tried his best to stumble on Wan Gui and make it bad.
Wan Gui and Chang Ren entered the palace at the same time and worshiped Wang Zhen as their godfather at the same time, but Jingqi was a little later. Wan Gui has no official position and follows Wang Zhen to listen to his calls, while Chang Ren is the head of the War Bureau. It is said that the two of them should be good brothers who share weal and woe in this deep palace compound, but for some reason, the two compete everywhere, secretly stumbling and stumbling each other, Chang Ren does not want to replace Wangui's position next to Wang Zhen all the time.
Facing the godfather's reprimand and Chang Ren's reproach, Wan Gui put down his chopsticks unhurriedly and said: "Godfather, good and filial piety first." The godfather likes to eat this hare meat, which is the blessing of the child, how can he compete with the godfather for food. Even if the child wants to eat, he should wait for the godfather to enjoy it before eating, which is the filial piety that a child should fulfill. Wang Zhen listened to Wan Gui's impassioned statement, and the smile on his face was as brilliant as two waves.
Wang Zhen said repeatedly: "Okay, good, worthy of being my good boy, and following me is not a waste of hurting you." Come, today's godfather will give you a thigh, how can the filial piety of the younger generations be unkind to me, who is an elder. Wang Zhen pulled off the rabbit leg on the table and put it in front of Wan Gui as he spoke, looking at the scene of Wan Gui and Wang Zhen's 'father and son filial piety', and then seeing that he was like a nobody, Chang Ren's chest was full of resentment, but Wang Zhen was present, Chang Ren had nowhere to attack, so he had to take the water and wine in front of him to vent his anger, and drink one cup after another.
Several people ate this meal for a long time, Wan Gui and the three of them sometimes stopped chopsticks and said a few words, and sometimes drank wildly, Wang Zhen smiled and drank non-stop, and it took a whole hour to stop. Wang Zhen was a little drunk, and the man stood up and said, "Let's stop here today, you go back to rest early." The three of them quit.
In the corridor of the palace, the three of them walked separately. Jing Qi and Chang Ren walked in front while Wan Guiyi walked behind, "Wait, young master." Hearing someone calling behind them, the three of them all stopped and turned to look behind, and when they got closer, they saw that it was the housekeeper of the house, and the housekeeper was still holding a sandalwood box in his hand.
The housekeeper gave the box to Wangui and said, "This is the master's order to let me give this to you." Wan Gui asked, "Godfather, why is this?" The housekeeper seemed to know that Wan Gui had this question, and said unhurriedly: "The master said, this thing was just given to you, let me pick you up and hand it over to you personally." ”
Chang Ren and Jingqi listened to the conversation between the two and thought of the "big red robe" just now, Wan Gui listened to the housekeeper's words and understood what the thing in his hand was, so he didn't ask again and said to the housekeeper: "I'm sorry, you say thank you to your godfather, and the old man's love is there." The housekeeper smiled and said, "I must go, by the way, the master also said that you should rest early and don't exhaust yourself." ”
Wan Gui said with a smile: "I must take care of myself and don't let my godfather worry about it." As he spoke, Wan Gui took out a few taels of silver and put them in the butler's hand, and the two wanted to look at each other and smile like confidants.
Chang Ren had already brushed his sleeves away after listening to the conversation between the housekeeper and Wan Gui, and at this time he and Jingqi had already arrived at the door. At this time, Chang Ren said dissatisfiedly: "The villain is rampant when he gets wise, look at him like that." ”
Chang Ren looked at Jingqi and said, "Wangui, what is better than me, why does Godfather treat him like this, is it because of those two rabbits who died and couldn't die again?" If you want to say that this kid is still bad-hearted, he coaxed his godfather to turn around. ”
Jingqi listened to Chang Ren's complaint and said unhurriedly: "He didn't catch those two rabbits. Chang Ren asked suspiciously: "If he didn't arrest him, could it be someone else?" Jingqi said, "Don't you see the two rabbits?" His hair was stained with blood, and his limbs were broken. Chang Ren still said unreasonably: "Then how can you explain the problem here?" ”
Jingqi glanced at Chang Ren and said mercilessly: "You will lose your temper and play tricks, you are really not as expensive as Wangui, let me tell you this, when have you ever seen Wangui kill chickens and sheep?" Thinking about it the other way around, he caught a rabbit that could make his hands bloody and his limbs broken. Don't look at killing an animal, this is a lot of courage. His rabbit may have been bought from some Orion on Telford Street. Jingqi told the matter from the beginning to the end, and Changren came back to his senses.
