Chapter 232: Talking, laughing, and making a difference
When Wang Bian came out of the palace, it was already dinner time, and he was delayed for a while in the Splendid Building, and when he returned to Meyer's Mansion, it was already dark, and at about seven or eight o'clock in the current time, the people in the palace had already finished eating, and Lu Shenyan instructed the family to serve good wine and food to the king.
Lu Shenyan sat next to the king, and filled the glass of warm wine to the king with great eyesight, and said in a concerned tone: "The prince has not had to rest since he returned from the Japanese slave country, and it is rare for the prince to give his wife a lot of time in the past few days, but this wine has not been drunk for a few days." ”
Wang Bi just returned home and tossed for another day, seeing that Lu Shenyan was warming the rice wine and his heart, he also felt very comfortable with his body after taking a sip of warm wine.
"Yes, I like it, Xiao Lu, it's a pity if you don't be the shopkeeper, if we can't live in the house one day, you can open a restaurant again, I think it's enough to make a living."
Lu Shenyan was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Since there are many people in our house, Gongzi hasn't called me Xiao Lu for a while, or this title sounds comfortable, I haven't thought about opening a restaurant, I really plan to just follow Gongzi to mix, Gongzi knows so much knowledge and is big, let my son follow Gongzi in the future, and if I can't be prepared, I can still be an official in a jinshi, and I can also close the door." ”
Wang took a sip of wine, and seemed to be talking to himself and said to Xiao Lu: "What's so good about being an official, I think when I first came, I also wanted to be a little official without worrying about food and clothing, who knows that the more I do, the more meaningless it is, and now I don't want to be an official, it's better to be comfortable as a people, and I don't need to worry about it or flattery." ”
Lu Shenyan laughed dryly, it is rare that there are only the two of them left today, usually I want to say a few more words to the king, listening to the king's disdain for being an official, Lu Shenyan said: "You are a full man who doesn't know that a hungry man is hungry, if you want me to say that it is good to be an official, otherwise how can someone spend money to donate money to be an official, the people dream of being an official every day, you say that being an official is not good, if you want me to say that you can't be an official, and you don't realize the benefits of being an official." ”
"Then tell me what are the benefits of being an official." After two or three glasses of wine next to the king, he felt much more comfortable, and remembered that today's matter in Jinxiang Mansion was solved, and his mood was much more comfortable.
Lu Shenyan thought about it seriously: "Don't say anything else, this is the court's money, if you are an official, the big and small expenses of our house can be allocated by the court for silver taels or rice and silk; Even the food and salary of your guards are paid by the imperial court; In the future, we have to earn all these by ourselves, and I think that you are an official to do it, it is different from others, you see that others are officials are in a sports relationship, do business, buy land, buy houses, you are good, just get some bald mountain black coal and fall, almost even this bald mountain has not been collected, let's just build a lot of money for that Jincheng, calculate the money you threw out over the years, it is not less than selling Meyer Mansion, and: people are officials, then only one person can get the chicken dog to ascend to heaven, you see that you have achieved three products, and there is no one student in the court. ”
"It's not pleasant to do, so I don't do it, our official has no real power, and there are many constraints, hey, I said Xiao Lu, do you want to be an official, why do I listen to you and seem to be talking about yourself,." Wang looked at Lu Shenyan with a smile, this kid seems to have something to say today,
"I, I never thought about being an official, I was willing to follow Gongzi and you to run around, that is, my tiger girl always scolded me for not being angry, if I could take the Jinshi exam or something in the capital for so long, I can still speak for Gongzi in the court if there is something wrong with my son." Lu Shenyan said that it was half aggrieved, half sincere,
"Is it scolding or beating." Lu Shenyan saw Wang next to him joking, and didn't seem to mind what he said just now, and suddenly the chatterbox opened up and there were more words: "She beats or scolds, and I don't have that material, you just said the previous paragraph, I don't know what the tiger girl remembered, you have to let me recite poems, and from time to time I also test a sentence or two, look at this arm......" Lu Shenyan said and rolled up his sleeves, and there were bruises on his arm,
Wang Jian wanted to laugh even more when he saw it, presumably it was the result of Rouge Tiger's use of force: "This is a test that you didn't pass,." ”
Lu Shenyan had a feeling of seeing his relatives, but the chief housekeeper of the infinite scenery in this mansion was also bitter: "How do I know that she will test me, she asked me coldly, when is the bright moon, do you know how to answer." Lu Shenyan glared at the king and waited for the king to answer,
"When is the bright moon, ask the wine to Qingtian, I don't know what year it is tonight, what, what are you talking about."
Hi, Lu Shenyan slapped the table: "Look, it's as simple as that, when did the tiger lady say Mingyue, I told her at the time: Look up and see for yourself." ”
Wang almost choked on a sip of wine, he laughed and said: "Is it going to be later, I don't know if Xiao Lu's life is hard, and he will be punched a few times tonight." ”
"Look, I know, I told you that you have to make fun of me, my tiger girl said, you learn from that Yuan Chang, you see that Yuan Chang is a few years younger, but he is a poet and song, looking at the silent words that are written to attract people, Yuan Chang can do it now if he wants to be an official." After Lu Shenyan finished speaking, he glanced at the king with his eyes, and said in his heart that he finally brought the words to the topic.
Wang Bian naturally knew that Cai Jing would definitely be able to be a big official in the future, so he didn't think about it and said: "That's right, Yuan Chang will be able to go to high school sooner or later, and he will be able to be a big official in the future." ”
"But it's not, when you say that you want to resign, someone has already found Yuan Chang, saying that you want to accept him as the door and recommend him as an official, I think that Yuan Chang's knowledge is secondary, and it mainly depends on the relationship between Yuan Chang and Bachelor Cai." Lu Shenyan added wine to the king's side, and said lightly,
"Hehe, I understand, what Xiao Lu said just now didn't mean yourself, you are calling for Yuan Chang, this thing is a bit interesting, but this is a good thing, Yuan Chang is a little younger, I think the rest is very good." Wang Bian said this somewhat against his will, Cai Jing was famous at a young age, if he is sought after now, it will be inevitable that he will not be pampered and arrogant in the future, but this can not be said to Xiao Lu, especially the people in the house are mixed, although Wang Bian now feels that Cai Jing's character is still good, but Cai Jing, the four traitors of the Song Dynasty who is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in history, is one, which makes Wang Bian have to be careful,
"It's a good thing, but the kid Yuan Chang didn't go, saying that if he was an official, he would have to take the exam by himself, and said that he didn't think it was the time, he didn't learn enough, and he didn't eat enough." Lu Shenyan couldn't help but laugh when he thought of Cai Jing's eating appearance,
This made Wang Bian a little surprised, "I didn't expect that Cai Jing, this kid really has a bit of backbone." ”
"This is natural, Gongzi has always treated him well, and this kid Yuan Chang also made a fortune with you this time, I think he is even more reluctant to leave you." Lu Shenyan saw that there were already three glasses of wine next to the king, and put the prepared rice in front of the king.
"It's not easy for everyone and me, and it's almost the New Year, and everyone should give some tips." The king was eating a hot meal beside him, thinking that these flashes were nothing to his current financial resources.
"What, you don't know yet, childe, this kid made a bet some time ago and won a lot of silver, which is much more than the reward you gave." Lu Shenyan pouted,
This made Wang Pan not think, "He has learned to gamble, this is not good, I will ask him when I go back." ”
"Cough, a group of children, are the scholar stewards of several houses, don't look at you not in the capital, the scholar stewards of several houses in the capital are in contact, and the chief of the Yuan helps you take care of the tea field, and it is indispensable for the mansions to run, this is not a few children betting on the previous paragraph, didn't you say that the coal burning will be solved within three days, in fact, we are all muttering, even if there is still coal in Jinxiang Mansion, it will not be able to reach the capital for three days, just the kid Yuanchang, bet that you can do this, and the result is that this kid made a small profit."
The king was eating and pondering in his heart, this is really crooked, he originally thought that there were a lot of offerings to the palace every year, and those palace maids and eunuchs in the palace were simply wasted, and even the palace dining room burned all night, and his original plan was to find a way to find the emperor to ask for it, who knew that Qin Minzhi was so careless, he actually put coal under the nose of Kaifeng Mansion,
"Xiao Lu, Yuan Chang, this kid I know, when I went to Xixia with me, I saw that this kid was still very concerned about the people, he is now in the rebellious period, and some things need to be guided slowly." Wang Fang is now afraid that Lu Shenyan will stare at Cai Jing, the seventeen or eighteen-year-old child is half a year old, this will not be crooked,
"Hehe, I don't mean anything else, when it comes to this, I just think this kid is smart and good at reading, even if he can be an official in the future, he can't let him know other people's feelings, are you right." Lu Shenyan asked cautiously,
Wang Bei understood what Lu Shenyan meant: "Don't worry, the time has not yet come, and my resignation is also to retreat." ”
"Okay, okay." Lu Shenyan said two good things in a row, and said with a smile: "I'll just say that you are an understanding person, by the way, what is the rebellious period of the son." ”
Wang wiped his mouth: "The rebellious period is that there will be a period of time when the more others say something, the more they will not do anything, hoping to be equal and recognized." ”
Lu Shenyan realized, he put away the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, and asked the king: "I understand, I am now in the rebellious period, as soon as I see the tiger lady, I will rebel, but the result of rebellion is to be put down by the rebellion, alas"
Lu Shenyan sighed, but there was a hint of imperceptible happiness on his face, and Wang said with a smile: "You are beating or kissing, scolding is love, look at your happiness, I don't know if I think you like to be abused." Lu Shenyan hurriedly waved his hand, "I don't like it, I don't like it." ”
Wang Bei smiled, you don't have this hobby if you like others, he stood up and asked, "How are you cleaning up?" ”
Lu Shenyan hurriedly replied: "It's almost all packed, just waiting for you to give everyone a meal." ”
"Tomorrow, you go to Jinxiu Building, talk to the old shopkeeper Cui Fu, let's set it on the eighth day of the eleventh month of the lunar calendar, let the old shopkeeper leave a private room, and everyone will be lively again."
When Lu Shenyan heard that he was going to Jinxiu Building, he remembered that he was delicious and replied happily: "Okay." After so many years, he still has the demeanor of Xiao Er.
