The 336th old man meets

"Ling'er, this soup is really not ordinary sour."

"Cut, sour is sour, I thought Miss Ana had taken a fancy to you."

"How could it be?" I smiled and said, "The soup has been boiled, everyone can eat it, and if you like to eat the side dishes, you can do it yourself and put it in the pot." ”

Fang Ling picked up a few pieces of Xiangxi blood sausage, put them in the pot, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's eat." ”

Wen Zhang didn't seem to have an appetite and asked, "Little Er, are you from Zhenxi Village?" ”

"Yes, guest officer, the little one is a native of the village."

"That's good, Xiao Er, let me ask you, why Zhenxi Village has changed in the past half a year."

The shopkeeper smiled: "Guest officer, the changes in Zhenxi Village first occurred in August and September last year, and in mid-February this year, with the completion of the first phase of construction in the village, not to mention you outsiders, even the local villagers also feel that the changes are great, ladies and gentlemen, you all saw the name of the building when you came in, the name of the building is called the Jieyi Building, what is the righteousness, everyone knows, Taoyuan Sanjieyi, it is about Liu Guanzhang of the Shu Han Dynasty, the late Sui Wagang Juyi, it is about the hero Qin Shubao, and the righteousness of the building is also derived from two heroes, This relationship is another story, but this story is no longer a legend, but a reality. ”

"Little Er, let's talk about it."

"Okay, ladies and gentlemen, you listen while eating, and the small ones will be told to you slowly." The shopkeeper tidied up the coals in the stove and said, "In July last year, the Han champion Lang Wen Tianxiangwen came to my Xiangxi to inspect the people's conditions, and deeply felt that the people of Xiangxi were living in difficulty, so he had a long talk with my Miao family's head Tian Zui Yan Gongzi, and discussed the opening of a trade trading center in Zhenxi Village, and sold the specialties in the Miao Mountain to various places through the trading center. Since the opening of this trading center last year, and the strong support of the Jishou County Government and the Chenzhou Mansion, attracted a lot of Han merchants, most of these businessmen came from the Chenzhou Mansion, after trying to trade, they all agreed that my Miao family is rich in products, are some good things, like what mountain delicacies, game, medicinal herbs and a fruit called kiwi fruit and other items, soon accepted by everyone, with the merchants coming more and more, it has gradually formed a prosperous pattern today, do not hide from you, I heard that many big medical centers in the capital have also sent people to come to us to purchase medicinal materials. ”

Wen Zhang said: "No wonder people come and go in the village, so it's not lively. ”

"yes." The shopkeeper smiled, a little proud, "Go back and tell you the origin of the name of this restaurant, the guest officers, Lord Wen and my Miao Jiatian drunken Yan Gongzi hit it off at first sight, the two sympathized with each other, and then became brothers with different surnames in the cottage, and later, the old village owner in order to commemorate this brotherhood and the friendship between the Han and Miao peoples, opened this restaurant here, and named it Jieyi Building." ”

Wen Zhang said with a smile: "I have also heard about the righteousness of Wen Tianxiang and Tian Zuiyan, which is a good story. ”

"Who said no, then Lord Wen Tianxiang is a good person among your Han people, not only highly educated, knowledgeable, but also handsome, extraordinary, and benevolent and righteous, he is really a good official in the court."

Wen Tianxiang is extraordinary, but he can't talk about his handsome appearance, Fang Ling smiled: "We have also heard of Wen Tianxiang's name, Xiao Er, you have also seen it." ”

"Of course I've seen it, Lord Nawen is tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he doesn't look so imposing."

This time, even the steady Yuan Jian laughed, although Wen Tianxiang can be regarded as tall, but the thick eyebrows and big eyes are not touched at all, so he heard Wen Zhang say: "We have never seen Lord Wen, we didn't expect to look so heroic." ”

Where did the shopkeeper know this, but he didn't blush, and continued: "If you have the opportunity to meet Master Wen, you will know that I said it well. ”

Fang Ling grimaced at me and said, "Brother, it seems that we must go and meet this heroic Master Wen." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, how does this sour soup fish taste?"

"Not bad." Fang Ling said: "By the way, Xiao Er, don't you have MSG in this sour soup fish?" ”

"MSG, this is not released, MSG is a rare seasoning treasure, if you want to put it, you need to add money."

"yes, how much to add."

Xiao Er was about to answer, when he heard a noisy quarrel outside accompanied by the sound of horses, "It seems to be Uncle Tian Fang again." Xiao Er frowned, muttered, and then said with a smile, "Ladies and gentlemen, you eat slowly, and the little ones will come and take a look." ”

"Tian Fang, this name is very familiar."

Wen Zhang said: "Childe, Tian Fang is the leader of the Miao people in this Zhenxi Village. ”

"Oh, that's right, I remember."

Tian Fang is the cousin and nephew of Tian Jing, the leader of Miao Village, who is a straight person, good at drinking, and has a short temper.

After Zhang Zijian saw Xiao Er leaving, he hurriedly got up and said, "Childe, go down and take a look." ”

"Yes, go ahead."

After a while, Wen Zhang also said: "Childe, I have seen Tian Fang, I will go too." ”

"Well, don't do anything if you have something."

"Understood." After Wen Zhang and Zhang Zijian left, Fang Ling also followed: "Brother, I want to go too." ”

"Hehe, it's not going to fight, Ling'er, you can go if you want, but you can only see the excitement."

"Got it, brother."

I grabbed a piece of sour bamboo shoots and said, "Sir, Shen Mo, Quanyi, let's continue to eat." ”

Fang Ling hurriedly walked downstairs with Wen Zhang, went out from the back door, and came to the place where the horses and livestock were placed in the backyard. ”

The middle-aged Miao man was Tian Fang, and he only heard Tian Fang pat Xiao Er's shoulder and said: "Tian Hong, go away, it's okay with you, I just saw these horses majestic, I have never seen them, so I came over and wanted to touch them, but they didn't let me get close." ”

"Uncle Fang, this is the horse of other people's guests, go back quickly, when Jing Ye comes to see you like this, he will reprimand you again."

"I'm not afraid, isn't it just a few beasts, what's the big deal, not to mention that I just want to touch it."

Zhang Zijian and the others heard that Tian Fang called a few imperial horses beasts, and they became angry, knowing that these royal horses are treasures in the palace, except for the people of the royal family, where do ordinary people dare to call them beasts, and then scolded: "Hugh is messing around, these horses, these horses are the things of my son, how can you approach them casually without the consent of my master." ”

"Who are you?" Tian Fang came up with strength and said nonsense, "This righteous building is the place where I Tian said something, and the things that are placed here, uncle, why should I touch them, do you know who opened this righteous building?" ”

Zhang Zijian suppressed his anger and said: "I don't care who opened your righteous building, as long as it is opened on the land of my Great Song Dynasty, you must abide by the laws of my Great Song Dynasty, these horses are private property, and they should be protected by the law, and you have no right to touch them casually." ”

Tian Fang exhaled a burst of wine and said with a smile: "Yes, then I still want to touch your personal belongings to see what you can do to me." With that, Tian Fang stretched out his hand to touch a few royal horses tied to the horse stake,

Zhang Zijian and several guards couldn't hold back the anger in their hearts even if they had a good temper, and they saw that Zhang Zijian's arm was raised, and he was about to make a move, Tian Fang would know how powerful Zhang Zijian was, seeing that this person was thin and small, Wu Zi didn't put it in his eyes, and continued to reach out and touch the royal horse,

At this time, only two different voices were heard almost simultaneously:

"Stop."

"Be merciful."

Wen Zhang knew that Zhang Zijian's martial arts were very strong, although he didn't have a longbow in his hand, and any move was not something that Tian Fang could cover at all, if he was angry, Zhang Zijian's hands would be heavy for a while, and Tian Fang would be half disabled if he didn't die, so he hurriedly spoke out and asked Zhang Zijian's subordinates to show mercy,

Another sound of stopping came from the mouth of an elderly Miao man who had just arrived,

When the shopkeeper Ertian Hong saw the elderly Miao people coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Jing Ye is here." ”

The old Miao people didn't pay attention to Tian Hong, nor did they go to see Tian Fang, they just looked at Wen Zhang,

Wen Zhang took a step forward, hugged his fists and said, "Master Tianzhai, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon." ”

"You're Wenzhang."

"Exactly."

"Oh, Brother Wenzhang, I haven't seen you for more than half a year, I've grown a lot taller, I'm completely a big guy, you see, I don't dare to recognize this old eye." Tian Jing didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly stepped forward, and returned the salute, "Brother Wenzhang, why did you come here, are these horses yours." ”

"Master Tianzhai, I accompanied my son-in-law to pass through here, and these horses belong to my son."

Tian Jing turned back to the shopkeeper and said, "Tian Hong, don't pull Tian Fang down yet, don't let him embarrass me here." ”

"Yes, Jing Ye."

When Tian Fang saw Tian Jing, he didn't dare to say much, and obediently left the backyard with Tian Hong.

"Brother Wenzhang, there are a lot of people here, let's go inside to find a quiet place to talk about it, last time you were injured, it was inconvenient to drink, so you can only eat some gruel, this time you have to try our sour soup fish and Miao family spirits here."

"No problem, Tian Zhai master, it's just that my son-in-law is upstairs, wait for me to talk about it first."

"Brother Wenzhang, who is your son-in-law, if it's convenient, let the old man and I go and toast three glasses of wine, I don't know if it's okay."

Tian Jingren is not old-hearted, as the head of the Miao family, his knowledge is extraordinary, Wen Zhang is the younger brother of Lord Wen Tianxiang, and now Lord Wen is in an important position in the court, it is said that he has won the favor of His Majesty the Emperor.

"Master Tianzhai, then I'll ask my son-in-law what he means."

"Okay."

Wen Zhang and Fang Ling returned upstairs, briefly told me what had happened, and then reported to me: "Childe, Tian Jing, the master of Miao Village, is downstairs, saying that he wants to come up to pay tribute to Gongzi for three cups, I don't know what Gongzi thinks." ”

"Tian Jing." I thought for a moment and said, "Okay, Wenzhang, there seems to be no one in the private room next to me, let him go there and meet me." ”

"Yes, Childe."

"Sir, Ling'er, as well as Shen Mo and Quanyi, you eat by yourself, and I'll come when I go."

In the private room on the side, I met Tian Jing, the owner of the Miao village, Wen Tianxiang once told me that Tian Jing is one of the three leaders of the Miao people in Xiangxi, and he is highly respected among the Miao people and has a wide influence.

After a while, Wen Zhang led Tian Jing in, and Wen Zhang introduced: "Childe, this is the owner of Tian Jing Tian Village." ”

Tian Jing clasped his hands into fists and saluted: "I've seen Gongzi." ”

"Well, sit down, Wenzhang, does the owner of the village know who I am."
