Chapter 80: Warmth

After the implementation of the matter of supervising the army, Xie Xiangcun had a relatively long time and lived in Hangzhou. began to follow Zhen Jinshu to take regular classes on the art of war, and Qian Hongzuo became Xie Xiangcun's "classmate" again. Xie Xiangcun is more trusting and unswerving, and most of the specific things of the military department are managed by Juunswerving, so although Xie Xiangcun's official position is quite big, he is not busy, and he belongs to the kind of supervisor who is bold and careful, and very decentralized.

When Zhen Jinshu held the funeral for his father for about two years, under the discussion of Concubine Tian and Mrs. Zhen, it was decided that Mrs. Zhen and Zhen Jinshu would officially return to their hometown to sweep the tomb for Zhen Fu, and the funeral was over. Concubine Tian was anxious to make Zhen Jinshu the queen, and quickly settled it; And Mrs. Zhen was anxious to settle the marriage between Zhen Jinshu and Xie Xiangcun. Two people with different ideas, but they made a joint decision to end the funeral early.

Mrs. Zhen specially implored Xie Xiangcun to escort her and Zhen Jinshu back to their hometown to sweep the tomb, Xie Xiangcun originally performed the eldest son ceremony for him when Zhen Fu passed away, and there was a folk saying at that time that when carrying the deceased into the coffin, the one holding the head was the eldest son, Xie Xiangcun did it at that time, it was not deliberate, and it was pretending to be a little maid, but by mistake he took the eldest son ceremony, and he was Zhen Fu's nominal closed disciple, so Mrs. Zhen's request was reasonable.

Qian Hongzuo played accurately, so Xie Xiangcun temporarily put down the affairs of the military department, became the leader of the honor guard for Princess Ruyi to return to her hometown to sweep the tomb, and began to prepare for the preparations for Princess Ruyi's return to her hometown to sweep the tomb, and followed the authority of the military department to make instructions and handover. The military department is related to the security of the country, and whenever he leaves the yamen, Xie Xiangcun must be handed over, in case there is an emergency, and the command of the soldiers and horses is chaotic.

In the past, when Dai Yun was in charge of the military department, his tiger talisman military seal was carried with him as long as he went out, and it was only kept in the military department when he returned to Hangzhou. He never handed over any command, and his going out was equivalent to a vacation in the military department. But Xie Xiangcun is completely different from him, fortunately, after Xie Xiangcun took office, he often went out to inspect the soldiers and horses of various states, and he was already familiar with the transfer of power between him and Juji. Soon put a qiē and arranged it properly.

Qian Hongzuo was reluctant to go out because Xie Xiangcun was going out. The day before he left, Qian Hongzuo specially asked Xie Xiangcun to visit the palace. As a result, Xie Xiangcun brought many flower seeds, and the two of them began to plant flowers in the imperial garden. Qian Hongzuo asked Xie Xiangcun to play, there is no special arrangement, as long as people come, everything to play is with Xie Xiangcun, so Xie Xiangcun mentions yì planting flowers, and he also likes it very much. Qian Hongzuo had never planted flowers, and he had doubts that these inconspicuous seeds and bulbs could grow into beautiful flowers, but he still solemnly helped Xie Xiangcun dig pits, plant, cultivate soil, and water them, and did it meticulously.

When Xie Xiangcun was an apprentice at Imitation Pear Villa, he often planted flowers and did a decent job. The waiters persuaded them a few times, saying that planting flowers was the job of the flower slaves, but seeing that Qian Hongzuo ignored him, he had to follow with an umbrella, and most of the waiters also knew that as long as it was Xie Xiangcunti's matter, they couldn't stop it at all.

After planting all the flower seeds, the two of them came to the flower hall, and the attendants immediately brought the basin and face towel for washing their hands and faces, and when Xie Xiangcun washed his hands and face, the attendants were still busy waiting for Qian Hongzuo to clean, in fact, the more people served, the slower the washing. Xie Xiangcun was not in a hurry, poured out a cup of brewed tea and cooled, and after Qian Hongzuo finished cleaning, Xie Xiangcun tested the temperature at the bottom of the teacup with his hands, and felt that it was almost ready to eat, so he brought it to Qian Hongzuo and said, "Holy Lord, please use tea." ”

Qian Hongzuo took the teacup with one hand, and pulled Xie Xiangcun to sit with him with the other, Xie Xiangcun took care of the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, and did not dare to sit on an equal footing with Qian Hongzuo, Qian Hongzuo said: "Aiqing, you are good at everything, but you are too formal." This is not the upper court, and this seat is not the king's chair, do we still have to sit apart from each other and negotiate with the two countries? Sit down next to me. ”

Xie Xiangcun thanked him first, and then sat down next to Qian Hongzuo, Qian Hongzuo took a sip of tea, and then handed the teacup back to Xie Xiangcun, looking at the imperial garden, where Junchen had just planted flowers, and asked, "Can these flower seeds really grow flowers?" ”

Xie Xiangcun said: "It's all up to luck, if the weather is good, the rain is good, and no one spoils it, it is possible to grow flowers." ”

Qian Hongzuo sighed: "It turns out that it is not easy for flowers to bloom in one season. ”

Qian Hongzuo stared at the place where the flowers were planted for a while, and felt that Xie Xiangcun had not spoken for a long time, turned his head to look at him, saw that he was thoughtful, looking down and thinking about something, he was drinking his remaining half cup of tea, and said busily: "Aiqing, you" said and pointed to the teacup, Xie Xiangcun suddenly realized that he had used the wrong teacup, and hurriedly put it down. Qian Hongzuo made a mistake, picked up the teapot, filled his teacup, and said to Xie Xiangcun: "Aiqing continue to use tea." He smiled slightly.

Xie Xiangcun drank all the tea, stood up, and said softly: "Shengshang, when Weichen was an apprentice in Fangli Villa, he once learned some massage techniques, and often gave my master massage, do you want to try my skills?" ”

Qian Hongzuo said: "Okay." ”

Xie Xiangcun walked behind Qian Hongzuo, first gently helped him beat his shoulder, and then began to massage his shoulder, the force was not light or heavy, very comfortable, and then the back was massaged.

Qian Hongzuo closed his eyes and enjoyed: "It's so comfortable." ”

Xie Xiangcun said: "You usually review the folds, and it is an hour to sit, if your shoulders and back feel stiff, then let the waiter help you press it, which can relieve a lot." Although you are physically strong, after all, the government is busy and tired almost every day, so you need to take care of yourself more. ”

Qian Hongzuo said: "Where will the waiter massage?" Or Aiqing is comfortable to press. ”

Xie Xiangcun was silent again, just concentrating on helping Qian Hongzuo push his back.

After a while, an attendant came to report: "Holy Lord, such as a princess asking to see." ”

Xie Xiangcun hurriedly put down his hand, Qian Hongzuo was very comfortable, and felt that it was not the right time for Zhen Jinshu to come, but Xie Xiangcun and she were going to leave for Xiuzhou tomorrow to sweep the tomb, and it was normal etiquette for her to come to visit, so she said, "Quickly invite the princess in." ”

Zhen Jinshu came with money, Ying Ying bowed, and said: "See the saint, Chitose, Chitose, Chitose." ”

Qian Hongzuo said: "The princess doesn't need to be polite. You may be seated. ”

Zhen Jinshu said: "Thank you for sitting." ”

Xie Xiangcun saluted Zhen Jinshu and said, "Humble to meet the princess." ”

Zhen Jinshu also saluted: "Thank you, Lord Wanfu." ”

Without waiting for Qian Hongzuo to ask, Xie Xiangcun said: "It's the princess who is about to come from Weichen." There is one thing, I hope that the saint will approve it, and Weichen will thank the saint first. After that, he bowed to Qian Hongzuo and half-knelt.

Qian Hongzuo hurriedly helped Xie Xiangcun up and asked, "Why should you be so solemn?" ”
