Chapter Seventy-Six: A Phoenix's Feathered Phoenixes Are Not as Good as Chickens
Being a spy for the first time, even if I was very unwilling and a little scared, I vaguely felt some excitement.
After thinking about it for a while, Chen Yuan made up his mind in his heart, and waited until Yanjing took a look at the situation, if he couldn't accept this stimulus, he would just find a way to leave.
responded to Lu Yijian at the moment.
Lu Yijian took out another piece of jade pendant.
On the surface, this jade pendant is no different from the jade pendant worn by ordinary people around the neck, and only those who are deeply involved in the Liao Kingdom can see the difference.
Lu Yijian handed the jade pendant to Chen Yuan: "You take this well, all my great Song Dynasty's fine works in the Liao Kingdom, when I see this jade pendant, it is like the old man coming in person." β
Chen Yuan took the jade pendant and glanced at it, he knew that Lu Yijian had been in charge of the work of Fanbang for seven or eight years, and secretly said in his heart, did he take this to make the gold medal of the Great Song Dynasty? Although I don't want to be an official, it seems to be a very enjoyable thing to make a temporary cameo appearance in the Song Dynasty 007.
I was about to open my mouth to ask, but I heard Lu Yijian continue: "It's just that the old man is no longer in charge of their affairs, Xia Zhu's old man must have made a new contact method, and this jade pendant may not help you much." β
A sentence almost didn't knock Chen Yuanlei down, raised his eyes to look at Lu Yijian, and made trouble for a long time, this old man was fooling himself with an outdated thing.
But it's a piece of jade, even if it's useless, you can get it to the pawnshop and use it as two dollars of silver. Chen Yuan stretched out his hand and put the jade pendant into his arms: "Xiangguo, don't worry, I will definitely do my best." β
Lu Yijian and Pang Ji were satisfied, and the two of them said the plan they had discussed: "This time, you will contact the people of the Liao Kingdom as a businessman. You can rest assured, we have arranged everything, because Wen Yan Bocha is very tight, the salt in Liao is very tight for a while, I think, if you are a salt seller, you can definitely eat it. β
Pang Ji on the side said: "Your identity is the number one master under Fu Xiaotian, after you go to Liao, Pang Xi will take you to see Xiao Suli, he is the younger brother of Xiao Tali, the queen of the Liao Gang, Pang Xi will take you to him, he will not doubt it." β
Chen Yuan nodded: "Yes, the villain knows." It's just, who is Fu Xiaotian? β
Pang Ji smiled: "A salt smuggler." β
Chen Yuan was a little uneasy: "Xiangguo, Taishi, since Fu Xiaotian is smuggling salt, he will definitely go to Liao Country often, if they meet together, isn't this a goof?" β
Pang Xi, who was standing on the side, said: "Don't worry, you just say that it is his master, I will accompany you, and no one will doubt you." As for him, no one will ever see him again. β
Chen Yuan heard the meaning, and he also knew that if he resigned now, no one might see him again in the future.
He immediately said: "Okay, then I will prepare hundreds of bags of salt tomorrow, Xiangguo rest assured, I will set off as soon as possible." β
Pang Ji sneered: "Hundreds of bags of salt? Don't be petty. If you want them to look up to you and fill the face of Master Fu Xiaotian, it will cost hundreds of cars to say the least. β
Lu Yijian put down the teacup: "The problem of salt, you don't need to worry." We've got everything in place for you, so let's go right away after you're done with the wedding of the new champion. β
Chen Yuan nodded: "Yes, the villain knows, it's just that the villain has one more thing, he wants to trouble Lord Xiangguo." β
Lu Yijian asked, "What's the matter?" β
Chen Yuan glanced at Pang Ji: "The third of the three heroes in the north of the desert who served in the Taishi Mansion a few days ago is now being locked up in Kaifeng Mansion, and the villain hopes that Xiangguo will help, so that the villain will take him out, and there are many helpers on the way." β
When he participated in Yan Chasan's wedding, Chen Yuan was already like a pompous little boss. Even though they were all dignitaries, his two-horse carriage would not be too shivering. It was Han Qi who drove the car, and the carriage stopped in front of Liu Hong's house, and Han Qi immediately jumped down from the wheel and lifted the door curtain.
Amuda who was riding a horse and followed by him also jumped off the horse, stood around the carriage, and looked around, his expression was similar to that of the bodyguards of those dignitaries.
On both sides of the gate are pergolas dedicated to welcoming guests, and in each shed there are family members busy registering guests who come to congratulate them.
"The old friend of the new champion, Chen Shimei and Chen's shopkeeper are happy with one hundred taels of silver, I wish the newcomers a good 100 years!"
Selling a hundred taels of silver is indeed a bit generous. But Chen Yuan can get this money now, especially after accepting the task of going to Liao, Lu Yijian and Pang Ji repeatedly explained that he had to support the scene of a businessman no matter where he was.
Liu Hong's house is a standard Song Dynasty folk style building, with a low wall outside, and a high wall after the living room divides the whole house into two floors.
The inner building is more diverse than the outer layer, with a compact layout, and each group of buildings has its own courtyard, surrounded by courtyard walls, which is used for family living.
The layout of the outer layer is much simpler, mainly spacious, mainly used to receive guests.
The main venue of the wedding was obviously set up in the outer living room, and when Chen Yuan walked into the door of Liu Hong's house, a subordinate hurriedly greeted him, and after some politeness, he led Chen Yuan into the banquet and sat down.
Master Pang also came, he had no friendship with Yan Chasan, and he didn't want to sit with these righteous people, the reason why he came to this wedding was because the emperor sent him as a plenipotentiary representative to send a congratulatory gift to Yan Chasan.
Although he could not participate in the imperial government, Renzong still had the qualifications to appoint him to attend a wedding banquet.
The fluffy phoenix is not as good as a chicken, this sentence is now vividly embodied in Pang Ji's body, and the situation of hugging in the front and back is completely gone, even those who are sloppy and patting horses, they just say hello politely, and then sit next to Fan Zhongyan and Ouyang Xiu, who are now proud.
After Chen Yuan came in, he first said hello to Ouyang Xiu, but Ouyang Xiu didn't snub him, stood up and returned the salute.
Then Chen Yuan came to Pang Ji and bowed in a proper manner: "The villain salutes the Taishi." β
Pang Ji smiled slightly, and pointed to the still empty seat next to him: "There is an empty seat here, sit here." β
Chen Yuan was not polite, and slowly sat down: "Taishi, there are many adults here that I am not familiar with, if you say something wrong tonight, please ask Taishi to correct it more." β
Pang Ji glanced at the adults sitting beside Fan Zhongyan and the others with contempt, and raised his voice slightly: "Shimei, do you know that the position next to the old man has always been rushed by those first-class masters to sit in the past?" β
Chen Yuan didn't speak, Pang Ji looked at a person dressed as a military general opposite, and said unceremoniously: "Have you seen that imposing general?" He was originally a protΓ©gΓ© of the old man, and if he didn't have the old man, he would still be looking at the armory. Ren Fu, aren't you going to come to have a drink with the old man today? β
That Ren Fu's face was blue and white for a while, and in the end, there was really no other way, so he picked up the teacup and walked towards Pang Ji: "The grace of the Taishi, the last general is unforgettable, this banquet has never come up, the last general will first salute the Taishi with a bowl of water, and it is difficult to express the gratitude of the last general." β
Pang Ji snorted coldly: "No need, it's not like the old man hasn't drunk tea." β
After speaking, there was no movement at all, and Ren Fu stood alone in front of the table, unable to advance or retreat, so he was not embarrassed.
