Bianjing is prosperous, near the state bridge in the central area of Bianjing, there are dozens of restaurants of all sizes, Wang next to the proposal: "Brother, how about we sit in the restaurant?" The two walked into Renhe Building hand in hand and sat down by the window. The two brothers chatted while eating, and Yuan Ze asked with a smile: "Is it possible for Brother Xian to be seriously ill and in the fantasy restaurant." ”

Wang Bei smiled and said, "It's pretty much the same, except that there are no singers, and the maiko are waiting for guests in the corridor upstairs." Brother, can you tell me why you have to drink before entering this restaurant? ”

Yuan Ze smiled, he blocked it with his sleeve, pointed to a person who had just walked into the hall with his finger and said, "You come to see this person." ”

Wang looked in the direction he was pointing, and saw a young man coming in, wearing a square scarf and a pale green robe, with dark green trim on the collar and cuffs embroidered with silver silk threads, and a belt of the same color and the same color around the waist, wearing jade around the waist, showing off his slender figure.

Seeing Xiao Er come forward to greet him, Yuan Ze said to the king

You see, when this person enters the door and sits down, Xiao Er will "carry a bottle and offer tea", and after taking a seat, he will drink a glass of wine first, pay a few times, and call it "official wine". The king listened attentively

Yuan Ze continued to explain: "The one that came up at the second end of the little one is called: Kanpan"

The king said, "It's called a recipe in my fantasy. ”

Yuan Ze said: "Xiao Er wrote down the dishes ordered by the guests and remembered them clearly, and sang the newspaper and the kitchen. There are "bell heads" in the kitchen, which are recorded and cooked in turn. ”

"That's called a chef." Wang said with a smile

Yuan Ze continued: "Cookers, serve the dishes. If there is a mistake, they will be "scolded", fined wages, and seriously "expelled". What is the name of the vegetable walker in the fantasy world? ”

"My mirage junior two and the food walker are usually one person, called the waiter."

"Waiter?" Yuan Ze laughed, pointed at the king and said, "What Brother Xian said is very ridiculous. ”

As they spoke, they walked by the man to whom they were pointed, and the king saw him clearly. Seeing this person's duck egg face, handsome eyes and eyebrows. I saw the man sit down at the table next to them, drank the wine, ordered only two fine dishes, and ordered half a noodle soup.

When Wang saw Yuan Ze looking at the young man, he asked, "What does my brother see?" ”

Yuan Ze said: "I think he is not older than you and me, how can he be so handsome." ”

Wang next to the laughter: "Brother, do you know that this person is a woman and a man?" ”

The two of them secretly looked at the man at the same time, but the man glared at the king angrily, and Yuan Ze just didn't look at him and lowered his head to eat. Wang Bian didn't care about the set and still looked at the man with a generous smile, and the man saw that Wang Bian's face was red, and he simply didn't look at Wang Bian and turned his head.

"Brother Xian, how do you know that he is a woman?" Yuan Ze asked in a low voice.

"Intuition," Wang smiled slyly, and then picked up his wine glass and touched his Adam's apple in the same way as the man just now. Yuan Ze seemed to understand, and the two looked at each other and grimaced.

Zhao Zongshi was sitting in the study to meet the guests, and when he saw Zhao Zongshi, he said, "Lord Sima is coming back this time, and I should take the wind and wash the dust for the adults." ”

Sima Guang: "Grandpa is polite, this reinstatement, I want to thank Grandpa for his kind words in front of the saint and the queen." ”

Zhao Zongshi said: "For the time being, I will first wronged Lord Sima, and after a while, the adults will repair the living note." Every day I will be around the saint, and when the time comes, I will hope that the adults will speak carefully in front of the saint. ”

"Grandpa, don't worry, as a courtier, you only know how to be loyal." Sima Guang saw Zhao Zongshi say this, and secretly speculated about the meaning of his words.

Zhao Zongshi said: "The former Prime Minister Pang was transferred out of the capital due to Di Qing's promotion. Lord Sima gave up his post in the capital and followed the huge people in the northwest for many years; When I heard that Lord Pang died, Lord Sima ascended to worship Pang's wife as his mother, and treated the younger brother of the huge man as his own brother. It can be described as both loyalty and righteousness."

"Adults have won prizes." Sima Guang said modestly

"Di Qing relied on his military exploits, and he was actually called: the temple is majestic. It's a pity that the huge people and Lord Sima are so aggrieved. Zhao Zongshi said and looked at Sima Guang's expression.

"Di Qing fought for the country, but he was meritorious, but he should not be proud of his merits." Sima Guang was also indignant that his mentor was belittled.

Zhao Zongshi smiled secretly in his heart and asked: "Recently, he has been very close to Lord Wang, and you have gotten along with Lord Wang Anshi a lot recently, but I wonder if Wang Anshi is also a loyal person like Lord Sima?" ”

"This person is indeed a person who does things, but his personality is more stubborn." Sima Guang replied truthfully.

Zhao Zongshi said: "It's rare for Lord Sima to be so objective, if I have Lord Sima to help, adults can be compared to Li Si and Xiao He." It won't make Di Qing so arrogant."

Sima Guang immediately understood what Zhao Anshi meant, got up and bowed down, "Grandpa, with all due respect, although Di Qing is arrogant, he is the center after all, and he is a martial artist, so there is no need to care. ”

Zhao Zongshi said: "It's just that I love it, and it would be better if I could achieve my wish as soon as possible." ”

In the past, Sima Guang would thank him, but Sima Guang was indifferent: "I am in a prosperous era, and I will be peaceful in the world, and the minister only knows his heartfelt duties." Grandpa everything goes with the flow, now that the holy dragon body is not safe, Grandpa can just listen to the destiny of heaven, why rush for a while, make the world puzzled. ”

Zhao Zongshi was stunned after hearing this, and was about to say something, when he saw that his family came to report, and a gentleman surnamed Liang asked to see him.

Sima Guang saw that there was a step, so he said, "Since my grandfather has a guest to visit, I will say goodbye first." ”

Watching Sima Guang turn around and leave, Zhao Zongshi was also confused, is this the person he can use?

Liang Yi walked into the study: "Grandpa Zhao, I brought a handwritten letter from Lord Mizang." ”

Zhao Zongshi opened the letter and read it for a while, then asked Liang Yi: "You also tell Lord Wuzang that as long as he is willing to assist this king, he will never treat him badly in the future, and what happened to his promise to persuade Li Yuanhao of Western Xia to raise troops?" ”

Liang Yi said: "Lord Hui, Lord Wuzang said that the Western Xia side only waited for the Lord to solve Di Qing, otherwise the army would be afraid." ”

Zhao Zongshi asked, "Hmm! I'm free to arrange this, what else to say? ”

Liang Yi said again: "There is one more thing to ask for." ”

"Oh?"

Liang Yi continued: "Lord Wuzang heard that my grandfather has a treasure and wants to borrow it. ”

Zhao Zongshi said: "I don't have any treasures here, even if I have them, I may not have them and I don't have the collection of the adults, but I don't know what the adults said?" ”

Liang Yi said: "If this matter is successful, the treasures in the world will belong to the grandfather." The adult is talking about a sword that the grandfather has now! ”

Zhao Zongshi frowned, knowing in his heart that Liang Yi wanted his sword that sharpened iron like clay.

He pretended to be confused and said, "There are several swords, I don't know which one the adults are talking about." ”

Liang Yi said, "I heard that my grandfather has a Songwen sword, and I don't hide it, and the adults are the most fond of Tibetan swords, so I want to borrow it to take a look." ”

Zhao Zong understood in his heart that he was actually borrowing it, and he was extremely reluctant in his heart, but he laughed: "How can a sword compare with the country, you come with me." ”

After speaking, he took Liang Yi to the garden, there was a secret door behind a rockery in the corner of the garden, there was a dark room in it, Liang Yi followed him into the dark room, this place he had been here, he asked Liang Yi to wait here, and he walked to the back of the dark room, it turned out that there was a dark room behind the dark room. After a while, he took a sword out and handed it to Liang Yi.

"You go back, I'll inform you when I'm done with Di Qing!"

When Liang Yi walked out of the Pu Mansion, Wang Yaochen happened to walk into the Pu Mansion, and the two of them were staggered. Wang Yaochen felt that this person was very familiar!

Seeing Zhao Zongshi, Wang Yaochen asked. "I just saw a person walking out of the house, I don't know why, it's very familiar!"

Zhao Zongshi said: "That day, the palace was deposed and the person who caused the fire in the mansion was this person. ”

Wang Yaochen patted his head: "It's this person!" I heard that this person fled to Western Xia? Before he could finish

Zhao Zongshi sank his face: "You don't need to ask more about this matter, how did you arrange it on Di Qing's side?" ”

Wang Yaochen hurriedly said respectfully: "I have already arranged it, and the date is chosen to start on the Double Ninth Festival." After speaking, seeing that Zhao Zongshi didn't pay attention to him, he squinted his eyes slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

That Liang Zuo walked out of the Pu Mansion, not daring to stay in the city longer, he lowered his head and walked into Renhe Building, found a quiet corner and sat down, and hurried away if he wanted to eat something.

Not far away, the little brother next to Wang sat whispering, talking and laughing. The two of them were very happy, and he told his brother that Lord Bao treated him very well.

The father-in-law next to the king did not admit it in vain, and gave some pocket money every three or five days. One is ten. According to the exchange at that time, 1 tael of gold = 10 taels of silver = 10 copper coins = 10,000 copper coins. Let's put it this way, at that time, once the grain was about 60 kilograms of what it is now, it was probably only 400 yuan.

Overnight, Wang became the second official and the second rich, but this is really a drop in the bucket compared to Lord Bao Zheng. Wang Bi calculated for Bao Zheng an account of Bao Zheng's income for several titles in a year: 20,856 copper coins, 2,180 stone rice, 180 stone wheat, 10 horses of silk, 34 horses of silk, 2 pieces of silk, 100 taels of cotton, 15 scales of charcoal, 240 bundles of firewood, and 480 bundles of hay. As a high-ranking magistrate of the foreign domain, the imperial court allocated Bao Zheng 20 hectares of professional land, that is, 2,000 acres of cultivated land, allowing him to collect rent every year and not pay grain. These 2,000 acres of cultivated land are estimated at one stone per mu of rented rice, and there are also 2,000 stone meters of input every year

first became Wang Anshi's son, and then recognized Bao Zheng as his father-in-law, and was also taught martial arts and swordsmanship by Di Qing, and it seems that all good things have fallen on the head of the king. While they were rejoicing, the man dressed as a man suddenly came to their table and whispered to the king, "You are very proud." ”

The king looked up at him, and said with a smile, "Do you know that the man sitting in the corner is a spy?" ”

The king glanced at him: "How do you know?" ”

The man simply sat down at the table and said, "That man has a ghost in his heart." ”

The king looked at the woman dressed as a man and said calmly, "If he has a ghost in his heart, don't you have a ghost in your heart?" ”

The man pouted contemptuously: "Hmph, the wishful thinking in your heart is very good, what is the second official and what is the rich second?" Forget it, I don't ask you, you hurry up and catch this person, he is a spy of the Western Xia Kingdom. ”

The king wondered how he knew what I was thinking.
