Chapter 246: Kang Boquan's Native Specialties
On top of the largest restaurant in Xingyang City, it is still the tallest pavilion, which is the place where the Manjing girl sang a song here last time. Two days later, they were together again. The difference is that the last time was Kang Boquan's reception banquet for Zhou Xiaocao; And this time, it was a celebration banquet to celebrate Zhou Xiaocao's defeat of the mountain bandits. The heads of those village owners are still hanging in Nanshi and fluttering in the wind at the moment. Although these are the merits of Zhou Xiaocao, Kang Boquan is the parent official here after all, and he is also honored when the bandits in the territory are lifted.
Kang Da Yaxing is very high, and he specially called a few Kabuki from the hook bar, and Kang Daren and General Zhou drank and talked happily, wouldn't they be happy?
After three rounds of drinking, Kang Boquan said: "This time, General Zhou's soldiers are very fast, and in addition to the big trouble in my Xingyang heart overnight, the officials are very lucky, and the people of Xingyang are very lucky!" Here, the next official salutes General Zhou with a cup, please! ”
After speaking, he picked up the wine glass and drank the bottom to the sky, and then looked at Zhou Xiaocao with a smile. I've finished drinking, you can do it.
Zhou Xiaocao took a sip of his wine glass and said, "Master Kang, this bandit has been under your rule for eight years, harming the place every year, and you still manage the huge Xingyang City in an orderly manner, this is a great merit!" ”
Kang Boquan's face flushed slightly, bringing out a hint of unnaturalness. Zhou Xiaocao's words were mixed with cynicism at him, how could he not hear it? It's just that what Zhou Xiaocao said is also the truth, after all, after eight years, he has watched the bandits in Bishan get bigger and bigger, and he has no ability to stop it. To put it mildly, this is dereliction of duty; To put it seriously, this is a big crime, once the court blames it. Even if he has the support of the Zhongwang Mansion, then the time comes. If you don't die, you have to peel off your skin.
Kang Boquan took a deep breath and said, "What then." General Zhou laughed. The strength of the bandits on this mountain, General Zhou must have seen it with his own eyes. I, the guards in Xingyang City, where can I beat them? They are nested on the mountain and can't come down, and there is nothing the officials can do about them. Therefore, I also asked General Zhou to say a few kind words on behalf of the lower officials in front of the emperor. In this way, the subordinate will definitely accept the favor of General Zhou. ”
This is very clear. If you Zhou Xiaocao are on the road, it will be convenient for you to be with others, and I, Kang Boquan, am also a relative of Zhongwangfu after all. When the time comes, I will also mention you in front of the loyal prince, wouldn't it be beautiful for everyone to have a good whereabouts?
However, Kang Boquan didn't know that Zhou Xiaocao at the moment was already at the point of never dying. Even if he didn't catch Kang Boquan's handle, Zhou Xiaocao would secretly put him together. It's good now, this old boy obviously has a great deal of power. As long as you grasp it exactly, you can kill him immediately! Such a "good thing", Zhou Xiaocao wished he could do two more things, how could he agree to Kang Boquan's wishful remarks of "making it convenient for others and convenient for himself"?
Kang Boquan saw Zhou Xiaocao bowing his head and was silent. I thought that what I had just said was already a little moved, and I couldn't help but smile. Yes, how generous your own conditions are. I can't help it, Zhou Xiaocao doesn't think about it. For so many years, Kang Boquan has not moved his nest in Xingyang. Even if some people can't get used to him, they are all frightened by the name of the Zhongwang Mansion. Who would dare to go against the emperor's own nephews and brothers? Isn't this looking for death?
Zhou Xiaocao gently raised his wine glass and said to Kang Boquan: "Drink, drink!" ”
The corners of Kang Boquan's mouth outlined a curved arc, stretched out his hand to summon a servant, and whispered two commands, and the servant nodded and left. Kang Boquan seemed to have let go of a matter, and the expression on his face became relaxed, and he said to Zhou Xiaocao: "General Zhou, why didn't Mrs. Ling see it?" ”
Zhou Xiaocao paused for a moment, and then he figured out that what he was referring to should be that Wan Piaohong, right? Still thinking about her? If she's really here, I'm afraid she'll be the first person to kill you!
Zhou Xiaocao said with a smile: "Oh, I am not accustomed to the water and soil, and I am accidentally ill, and General Ben has already asked her to go back to Beijing first." ”
Kang Boquan said verbally: "Oh, that's really wrong!" didn't take good care of General Zhou's family, General Zhou did his best for me Xingyang, but Mrs. Ling came back with a bad heart. ”
I thought in my heart, you pretend! That red girl is obviously a local, I don't know how you hooked up with someone, and you really think it's your wife? Look at your obscene appearance, you couldn't find a woman in your last life, and you can't think about it in this life! Really, I miss Kang Boquan, Yushu is in the wind, and I am suave, so why can't I be looked down on by Piaohong? And that mangrove girl, that appearance is peugeot, that figure is mysterious, how can you not lie to me? Take a look at Zhou Xiaocao again, why is this kid so lucky? It's a pity, what a watery two cabbages, but the pig arched!
At this moment, one of the servants of Kangbo's family came upstairs, holding a tray in his hand, covered with red silk, and he couldn't see what was underneath.
Kang Boquan saw the arrival of this subordinate, the smile on his face became even brighter, and he pointed to the tray and said to Zhou Xiaocao: "General Zhou has come here to suppress the bandits, and he has made a great contribution. The lower officials couldn't repay it, and asked General Zhou to accept some local specialties. ”
Zhou Xiaocao looked at the tray and saw that the tray was not very big, presumably it was full of silver underneath, and it would not exceed one thousand taels. This amount of money is really nothing to Zhou Xiaocao, who now has a big business. You must know that when you are in the capital, before leaving, invite these 4,000 forbidden soldiers to have a meal, and the cost will not be less than 1,000 taels! Although most of the restaurants paid for it later, after all, Zhou Xiaocao had the courage and ability.
Waving his hand slightly, Zhou Xiaocao said, "No need! Suppressing bandits is a matter within my responsibility, and I don't treat it like this. Please take back these souvenirs. ”
Kang Boquan smiled, knowing that Zhou Xiaocao was thinking that there was too little money. With a mysterious smile on his face, he said, "Actually, these local products are all supplements. Isn't Mrs. Zun sick? Use some of our local products to ensure that the medicine is cured. General Zhou, the lower official suggests that you might as well open it and take a look. ”
Everyone said that this was the point, and Zhou Xiaocao had no choice but to be disrespectful. Kang Boquan glanced at the man, and the man immediately walked to Zhou Xiaocao's side with the tray, lowered his head, and held the tray with both hands, slightly above his head, to show his respect for Zhou Xiaocao.
Zhou Xiaocao stood up, pinched the corner of the red silk, and gently pulled it, and the red silk slid to the ground like a miniature red wave, revealing what was covered underneath.
Twenty ingots of glittering gold ingots, a pearl of round jade, plus a fist-sized high-grade jade jade Guanyin. The best thing is that the whole body of Jade Guanyin is translucent and crystal clear, but the half of the willow branches sticking out of the jade bottle are emerald green. This is a whole piece of superb jadeite carving, natural and certainly valuable.
Zhou Xiaocao couldn't help but gasp, this Kang Daren's handwriting is really not small! How much gold and silver treasure did this old boy loot at home? Just this one for oneself is so luxurious, this gift, even if it is taken to the current emperor Liu Mingli, it is not shabby!
Looking at Kang Boquan, who was amused by his stunned appearance, Zhou Xiaocao secretly thought in his heart, what are you so angry about? Sooner or later, all your gold and silver treasures will have to be surnamed Zhou!
At this moment, in Zhou Xiaocao's eyes, Kang Boquan seemed to have become a bamboo, and Zhou Xiaocao was a woodcutter, holding an axe, and striking on this huge bamboo, "Bang Bang", and many treasures fell from the tree.
The feeling of ripping off the bamboo is just one word, cool!
Zhou Xiaocao reached out and grabbed a handful of beads, felt the cold lubrication, and said: "General Ben likes these sustenances very much, and he must also like them very much." ”
Kang Boquan said with a smile: "It's good if General Zhou likes it, but the lower officials are afraid that these local specialties are too ordinary and can't get into General Zhou's eyes." ”
Zhou Xiaocao immediately said: "Get in, get in!" What, General Ben is a little tired, and he needs to go back to his room to rest, Lord Kang, please take care of yourself. ”
Looking at Zhou Xiaocao's figure leaving with the tray, a smug smile appeared on Kang Boquan's face. When I turned around, I suddenly found a beautiful and delicate face on the window of the building opposite. Seeing Kang Boquan looking at her, the woman smiled and turned away from the window. Kang Boquan was greatly moved, and his legs involuntarily began to walk towards the stairs, and the exclamation of the people in the house sounded behind him: "Master, pay attention to the stairs" (to be continued......
