For a whole day, Zheng Fu and a group of small stewards in the secretary room were so busy that they even had to trot to pee, and they didn't even have the time to eat and drink.

When Zheng Fu replied that the secretary sat down, drank a cup of hot tea, and warmed his body, he looked at the thick roster and was confused, why did people change sex overnight, and they all figured it out?

"Hey, you guys are standing still, you want to eat and wait at the door, I'll get it for you, don't go in!" At this moment, Zheng Fu heard the sound of argument outside and hurriedly walked out.

"Don't get in our way, we're the people of the house!" Said a little child.

"Nonsense, this is the palace and not a beggar's nest, why are you people in the palace?" The door blocked the group of little beggars who broke in and said with a sneer.

"Uncle Tian, we are the little guys next to the second master, don't you recognize us?" A child asked, leaning his face over the lantern.

"Yo Yo, you are Zhao Ren, you are Zhao Yi... How did you get to this point? Lao Tian finally recognized these people, they were really the people around the second master.

"Zhao Ren, why don't you stay by the second master's side, pretending to be a beggar, what kind of demon are you making trouble?" Zheng Fu walked over and said with a stiff face.

"The chief steward, you are a dog biting Lu Dongbin, we are hungry and cold to help you recruit people, and you still train us!" Zhao Xin's face turned red with anger, and he jumped out and said.

"You're going to help us recruit people, won't you?" Zheng Fu was a little vague, "Let's go to this house first and talk about what's going on!" ”

"Okay, let's tell you, then you first order the kitchen to get us something to eat, I drank a lot of wind last night, and today I only ate a bowl of wheat rice, and I starved to death!" Zhao Xin pouted and said, he didn't seem to be afraid of Zheng Fu at all.

Zheng Fu immediately ordered someone to bring a pot of haggis soup and half a basket of Hu cakes, and a group of people roasted the fire while eating, and told him what had happened. Zhao Ta made Zhao Zhao If he is a modern person, he can see at a glance that the entrance of a big hospital, the opening of a new building, and the opening of a shopping mall are all this method, which is to find a trust.

He asked Zhao Ren and the others to disguise themselves as beggars to spread the news that they heard that the Zhao Mansion was going to build a large-scale water conservancy and was recruiting people in the state capital, and gave a few 'pledge maids' who paid off their debts, and before leaving, they were 'strictly ordered' not to talk about recruiting people in the mansion casually, because there were not many places left, so as not to cause confusion when there were too many people who signed up.

Zhao Ta just took advantage of some people's weaknesses, you tell him well, he doesn't listen, thinks you lied to him, but they believe in gossip, especially this kind of 'inside' news. These people who put it back are all carefully selected 'little trumpets', although they are strictly not allowed to say, but the more you don't let them say, the more itchy his heart is, first secretly tell the family, and then the best partner, but who didn't give the three relatives a good word, and the people who should know the Tao of Lu overnight all know the Tao...

"It turned out to be arranged by the second master, no wonder so many people came today, he really expected everything..." Zheng Fu suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness, he wanted to use this matter to show himself well in front of the prince, but he didn't expect that this matter was under the control of the prince from beginning to end, and without his secret help, he was afraid that he would mess things up.

······

The light was still on in the prince's study, and there was an old man of fifty or sixty years old sitting opposite Zhao Ta, but Jianxi who was standing behind him was in a daze, his body seemed to be swaying constantly, and the hot breath exhaled from his mouth was heavy with a strong smell of wine.

"Uncle Zheng, have you ever brewed wine in the Guogong Mansion? I've heard you're also a big wine connoisseur. Zhao Ta personally poured him a cup of tea and said. At the end of the year, the old man thought that his poor grandson was alone, and sent someone to send a batch of things for the New Year.

"Don't call it that, the old man is just a small steward in the Guogong Mansion!" Zheng Quan raised his buttocks and said in fear, "When I was young, I followed Grandpa Guo to clean up the wine shop, and I still know a little about it, and I dare not say that I am proficient!" ”

"Uncle Zheng, how about you taste this wine?" Zhao Ta asked Jianxi to take the wine jug and poured it for Zheng Quan and said.

"Uh, Steward Zheng's wine is very energetic, you have to drink it slowly!" Jianxi couldn't help but burp and said.

"Hehe, thank you for reminding!" The old man said thank you in his mouth, but he could see that he didn't think so, if I die tomorrow, old man, I will be mixed in wine for a lifetime, and I have never seen any wine. But when he saw the wine poured into the glass, his face became solemn, when the wine was full, he couldn't wait to pick up the glass, put it under his nose and smelled it, then put down the wine glass, took a sip of tea from the teacup on the side, and then took a sip of the wine glass to his mouth, and took a sip again. ,

"Lord Wang, this wine is mellow and clear, and it seems to be burning in the throat, it is definitely not a brewed wine, it is soju!" Zheng Quan said with surprise on his face.

"Oh, there's shochu now?" This time it was Zhao Ta's turn to be surprised, he thought that he had found a deal that could make a lot of money, but he didn't expect that the Song Dynasty already had it, and he couldn't help but be disappointed.

"It seems that the old man is not wrong, soju has been used since ancient times, has the prince heard of 'Crane Bud'?" Zhao Ta shook his head, he had never heard of that thing, how could he know that he said, "Legend has it that before the Tang Dynasty, Liu Bai, a native of Hedong, was good at making wine, and the wine made could make people drunk for a long time, becoming a masterpiece at that time. But the white fall spring mash' said, what he does is soju! ”

"Damn, could it be that he also crossed over and robbed Lao Tzu's job!" Zhao Ta scolded in a low voice.

"Oh, what did you say, lord?" The old man's ears were a little back, and he couldn't hear clearly.

"I mean, is there still any man-made wine like this?" Zhao Ta asked vaguely.

"The old man drank it once when he was young, it is said that it was passed from Sichuan, it is as expensive as gold, and then he has never drunk it again, and now he only occasionally hears that some people still have treasures, but they are all secret!" Zheng Quan said with regret on his face.

"Hmmm! Is this really that little wine? Zhao Ta was shocked when he heard this, the old man was still panting when he spoke, if his body was not much better, or he had to 'crash' again, it seems that there is still something to be done about this matter, he hurriedly asked.

"Yes, a daughter is rare, where did the prince get this good wine?" The old man looked at the remaining half of the glass of wine on the table and said with a lingering meaning.

"This... This is made by a subordinate in the house according to the ancient recipe that he got by chance! Zhao Ta stammered and said, seeing that Xi pouted on the side, the prince played this game again, I don't know who Lu Dao put this 'good thing' on whose head, this is obviously the prince came up with it, and he followed him to fiddle with it for a day before he made it out, and secretly drank two sips, and now his head is still dizzy.

"Huh?!" The old man stood up with a shout, "This person is here, can you let the old man see him!" He said in a hurry.

"Uncle Zheng, don't worry, this person is not going home for the New Year in the mansion for the time being!"

"Oh, the old man has lost his temper!" Zheng Quan is old and refined, and immediately figured it out, such a person is also a treasure in his own house, how can he easily let him see outsiders.

"See, Uncle Zheng brought the remaining jar of wine to my grandfather when he returned, which is also a little bit of my heart!" Zhao Ta said to Jianxi behind him.

"The prince is really filial, if the prince drinks this wine, he will be very happy!" The old man arched his hand and said, Zhao Ta waved his hand, and asked Jianxi to lead him down to rest, and the old man didn't forget to take away the remaining half of the glass of wine before leaving.

"Second master, why did you let that old man go, he is very proficient in wine, aren't you just looking for such a person?" Jianxi looked at Zheng Quan's departing back and asked puzzled.

"Hmph, there is that jar of wine, are you still afraid that he won't come back, I'm afraid that the Guogong Mansion will send someone again after the New Year, and he has to be a heavyweight, you and I have that wine is so delicious!" Zhao Ta said with a smile.

"The second master wants to bring the Guogong Mansion in, so didn't they take a big advantage?" Miki said.

"Ha Luha, this is called investment, can I take advantage of my cheap things casually!" Zhao Ta stretched out his hand and wanted to knock on Jianxi's head to experience the feeling of the chief educating the 'little ghost', but he was much shorter than him, and his feet could barely reach his shoulders, which was really depressing.

Zhao Ta sent away the old steward, saw that he was clothed with a big hat, two small yellow doors lit lanterns in front of the way, out of the main hall, Meng Tao and Yang Feng immediately followed, hanging behind him a few steps away, in the middle of the palace, the lanterns under the porch were lit, and the whole mansion was shrouded in a red light, although it was a cold winter, it made people feel peaceful and peaceful, and experienced a strong New Year's flavor.

"It's good to be an ordinary person..." The people in the courtyard were busy coming in and out, and when they saw him come out, they would stop to say hello, their eyes were full of love and gratitude, Zhao Ta nodded in response, looking at the satisfied smile on their faces, and suddenly said to himself with emotion.

At the end of the year, these people got a few catties of pork, a few feet of silk, and a few more money, and they were already satisfied, and they could happily live a small life with their wives and children on the hot kang after they were busy.

"How many people dream of being born in the emperor's family, but the second master envies us people, who are really born in happiness and don't know how to be blessed!" Yang Feng, who was behind, listened to the prince's sigh, shook his head and said.

"Haven't you heard of 'thinking of your relatives every festive season'? The second master is so young for the New Year, but it is difficult to return home, he is alone, although there are so many people in the house, but none of them are his relatives, isn't he uncomfortable in his heart? Meng Tao whispered.

"No wonder the people up and down the house feel the kindness of the second master, the second master asked everyone to bring their families to celebrate the New Year together, it turns out that he knows the hardships of everyone in his heart!" Yang Feng figured out the joints and said in a low voice.

"Brother Yang, we have been wandering on the rivers and lakes for many years, it is not easy to meet a good master, although the second master is young, but he is clever and intelligent, and what is even more rare is that he is kind-hearted, and he will be set as a dragon and phoenix among people in the future, we think we should settle down!"

"Hmm!" Yang Feng looked at the prince who was walking in front and hummed thoughtfully.
