Chapter 106: Old Wine and Beef
Xie Shence faced the question asked by the queen casually, smiled slightly, and said: "It's also a coincidence, this is still inspired by the people of Suzhou who like to eat dried vegetables, but this is not the credit of my nephew alone, this kind of tea making method is still the result of the brainstorming of many tea makers in Huaiyang Dao." ”
The queen said: "You have been on the grassland for half a year, I don't know your reputation in Jindu, but it is getting louder and louder." ”
Xie Shence was slightly shy.
The queen looked at Xie Shence's expression and said with a smile: "Do you know that the young lady of Yang Shangshu's family in the Ministry of Industry has rejected several marriages because of you." ”
Xie Shence was stunned.
"What's going on?"
The queen laughed and said, "It's not your poem?" The plum blossoms are blooming, will the purple and red be far away? This poem is not a poem but a poem. When the news spread, everyone in Kyoto knew about it. Then there were rumors that you had something with Miss Yang, which made Kyoto people talk about it. And Miss Yang and the poems that love you, with the sentence 'drunk and lying on the battlefield, Jun Mo smiled, and a few people returned to fight in ancient times' rejected the proposal of a general's son, which made the people of Kyoto even more happy. So much so that half a year has passed, and several groups of people who proposed to Miss Wang were actually blocked by her. ”
Xie Shence smiled embarrassedly, and then said: "Niangniang, you know, I have only a one-sided relationship with Miss Yang Family, and I haven't seen each other since then, where does it come from, I will explain these people clearly in the future, and give Miss Yang a clean slate." can't delay the youth of the girl's family in vain. ”
The queen said: "It's good that you know, but it's not appropriate for you to come forward in this matter, or this palace will defend you." ”
"Then thank you, mother."
The queen took a sip of tea, and then said, "You haven't been to Taixue yet, have you?" ”
Xie Shence replied honestly: "I really haven't been there yet." ”
"Qian Bo'an is waiting for you to go back."
"What are you waiting for me to do when I go back?"
Xie Shence was puzzled.
The queen took another sip of tea and asked, "Have you forgotten?" ”
Xie Shence frowned and recalled, and soon said with a smile: "Indeed, I promised last year to bring a few catties of tea with him, but I didn't want to go to the northwest for so long, which is considered a broken contract." ”
The queen smiled but said nothing.
"But I have something to do, you can't blame me, Niangniang, if Qian Lao comes back to me, you have to help me plead with His Majesty."
"You kid, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and I won't talk about it from Your Majesty. As for the matter, it's really interesting. It is said that Qian Bo'an went to Weihou Mansion to ask for tea, but was humiliated by Mrs. Xie, and went out angrily in a fit of anger, and put down the cruel words before leaving, saying that you can't do well in Taixue. Not many people know about your return to Kyoto this time, but the reward you received is to tell the world. At that time, the people of Kyoto will know that you are back, and you will no longer be able to hide. ”
"Taixue, you are going to go after all, how many people in Kyoto have their eyes on Taixue, just wait for you to come back, and see how you are cleaned up by Qian Lao."
Xie Shence looked helpless.
After talking to the queen for a while, the queen let him back, and then Xie Shence went to Xie Shenwei's general's mansion.
The queen seemed to have told him something homely, but she was vaguely telling him that in Kyoto and even the Great Jin Dynasty for a period of time in the future, Xie Shence will be the focus of people.
It's not just his scandalous anecdotes, but also his acceptance of the Ti Cavalry. Whether or not he can handle the huge dark institution of the Jin Kingdom will be a huge turning point in his life.
This turning point will also be a turning point for many people.
Xie Shence understands that he has a long way to go.
Now he carries more things than before. Not only himself, but also the Xie family, the Wang family, and even the country.
Of course, it's one thing to thank Shence for understanding, and it's another thing to accept it.
He doesn't care about those great causes and fame in history, he just wants to live a safe life.
When he arrived at the General's Mansion, Xie Laosan stepped forward to report, and soon a housekeeper came out to welcome Xie Shence in.
This general's mansion really has a palace atmosphere, whether it is the vast area or the exquisite architecture, it greatly exceeds the specifications of the princess.
Xie Shence browsed the scenery in the mansion and sighed that the emperor and empress were really willing to spend money for their daughter. This general's palace should be called the Royal Annex.
has only been gone for a while, and now the former princess Wanting and the current princess Jinyang, who are already Xie Shence's sister-in-law, have personally ushered in her.
"I've seen the first, uncle."
Obviously, Princess Jinyang is not used to calling Xie Shence her uncle.
Xie Shence saluted very calmly: "I've seen my sister-in-law." ”
Xie Shence didn't shout "sister-in-law", because he knew that his sister-in-law must have more than one, in order to prevent chaos, Xie Shence called Princess Jinyang the eldest sister-in-law in the order of entering the Xie family, and the one in the future will be the second sister-in-law.
Princess Jinyang didn't care about this, and chatted with Xie Shence very quietly for a while, and didn't leave until Xie Shenwei came over.
Xie Shence is actually very unaccustomed to such a quiet Princess Jinyang.
Xie Shence and Xie Shenwei have never had a lot to say, and many words between the two are often passed through their eyes. This is a tacit understanding.
Like at this time
Xie Shence looked at the direction in which Princess Jinyang left, and cast an inquiring look at Xie Shenwei.
Xie Shenwei glared back impatiently.
Xie Shence laughed silently.
Xie Shenwei frowned slightly.
Xie Shence immediately stopped laughing.
Xie Shence didn't know why the lively and active Princess Wanting became the gentle and virtuous Princess Jinyang after marrying Xie Shenwei.
Xie Shenwei declined to answer the question.
Because of Xie Shenwei's marriage to Princess Jinyang, He Ruoque's already small good impression of the Xie family was gone, and he lost his temper with Xie Shenwei on the grassland before, and Xie Shenwei, who has always been as fierce as fire, was scolded by He Ruoque to the point that he had no power to fight back, which shows how high He Ruoque's combat effectiveness is when he is angry.
After returning to Tiemen Pass, Xie Shenwei wanted to take He Ruoque back to Kyoto, but was also resolutely opposed by He Ruoque, and He Ruoque finally chose to stay in the northwest under the dilemma, so Xie Shenwei and Xie Shence came back with the Iron Guard's personal soldiers and Zhou Jinmian and the black armor, and He Ruo's brothers and sisters stayed in the northwest.
This matter is a stalk in Xie Shenwei's heart, and even Xie Shence does not dare to touch it easily.
Finally, in an extremely uncomfortable atmosphere for the servants, Xie Shence had a lunch. The servants were uncomfortable because they were all personally selected by the queen, and they didn't know the temper of the Xie brothers, and they thought that there was an awkward quarrel between the brothers when they didn't speak and just lowered their heads to grab the vegetables, so they were very frightened. This atmosphere made Princess Jinyang a little embarrassed.
However, Xie Shence and Xie Shenwei didn't care, because this was what their brothers were.
Xie Shence will officially take over as the deputy commander of the Tiqi Division for a while, so Xie Shence must report to Taixue tomorrow.
Taking advantage of the fact that there was still half a day, Xie Shence decided to find out from Sima Yu.
He asked Xie Laosan to squat at the gate of the Tai Academy, intercept Sima Yu when he came out, and then shamelessly invited Sima Yu to eat in the tavern.
Sima Yu was surprised and quickly calmed down. He knew the purpose of thanking Shence.
In the tavern, Sima Yu greeted everyone with a smile as usual.
The proprietress still served the same wine and dishes as last time, Xie Shence poured a bowl of wine for Sima Yu and said, "Uncle, can you tell me about Qian Lao's situation?" ”
Sima Yu was not in a hurry, ate a salted peanut, drank a sip of wine, and then peeled a salted duck egg, and said, "Old Qian, I'm going to dismantle you into eight pieces." Judging from a note on Qian Lao's desk that Professor Yan accidentally saw, you are in trouble enough. ”
Xie Shence cautiously asked, "What note?" ”
"The bill that the money always calculates for you."
"Bills?"
"Yes, bill, how many catties of tea do you owe?"
Xie Shence's eyes widened.
"I owe him tea, don't I just have a few catties?"
Sima Yu sneered: "How many catties? I'm afraid it's a few thousand pounds now, right? ”
"What? A few thousand pounds? Even if you let the donkey roll and break, it will not rise to thousands of catties! This old man, the old lady is here! ”
Xie Shence was so angry that he almost said the three words of the old horseman.
Sima Yu said with a smile: "It is said that this is the case, Qian Lao recorded that because you asked him to come to the door to beg for tea, the kung fu money has to be counted as two catties." And because the old lady humiliated him, this face is worth at least five hundred catties."
"How can this be true? His face is worth five hundred catties of tea?! One or two dragon wells and one or two silver! His face is worth five thousand taels of silver? Then why didn't he sell face and repair the river? ”
"It's useless for you to yell at me or reason with me, you have to yell at him."
"I just yelled at him, what's wrong!"
"Then you roar again."
"How can this be justified?"
As soon as Xie Shence spoke, he instantly turned to look at the door.
"Then you roar again" just now, it was said by the person at the door.
The person at the door is Qian Bo'an and Qian Lao.
Thank God for the loss of color.
The pretty face was distorted by fright, and the face was full of frightened colors.
After a short moment of stunned, Xie Shence hurriedly bent over and pulled Qian Bo'an's sleeve and pulled him to the table and sat down.
Then he ran to the proprietress and asked the proprietress for a pair of chopsticks.
Then help Qian Lao set it up, and pour a bowl of good wine.
Qian Lao's old face like a black cloud in the city is a little better-looking.
Qian Lao killed a bowl in one bite, Xie Shence stretched out his thumb and said proudly, and as soon as Qian Lao put the bowl on the table, Xie Shence hurriedly got another bowl.
Qian Lao drank a bowl of wine and ate a piece of meat, drinking wine very quickly and eating meat very slowly, and after he finished eating a plate of beef, the men in the tavern gradually dispersed.
The little boy who came back from school didn't dare to ask Sima Yu for advice because of Qian Boan's angry face, and when he saw that the plate was empty, he hurriedly brought another plate.
Sima Yu gave him a smile that didn't hurt, and the little boy ran into the back hall in a hurry, and then took out an old book, Sima Yu ignored the stalemate between Qian Bo'an and Xie Shence, and explained the knowledge to the little boy with an oil lamp.
Half an hour later, Xie Shence left a piece of silver and helped the drunken Qian Bo'an out of the tavern.
The three of them walked in the alley, out of the alley, and into the street. Three people were in front, and three carriages were not far behind.
Qian Bo'an pushed Xie Shence away, staggered forward, and laughed.
Then he turned around and pointed at Xie Shence and said, "Boy, you are so self-conscious." ”
