After tidying up the room, settling the carriage and horse luggage, it was getting late, and the kitchen of the post house was used to clean up the meals. After eating, Zhao Ta and the two old men gossiped for a while, they didn't sleep well last night, and they took the overhead train again, and they were old and in good spirits, so they went to bed early. He was bored, and when he went out of the house, the lantern had been lit in the courtyard, and it was like daylight, and he looked at the three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry around his residence, and laughed secretly.

"Zhao Yuzhong, don't be so nervous, let everyone withdraw, have a good rest, but take care of that kid and don't let him run away!" Zhao Ta called Zhao Yuzhong and ordered.

"Second master, it's not a big mistake to be careful, if you break your skin, I won't have the face to go back to see my brothers!" Zhao Yuzhong said.

"If you lift weights lightly, tight inside and loose outside, you think that if you put so many people, they will be afraid!" Zhao Tan patted Zhao Yuzhong on the shoulder and said with a smile, he walked straight to the courtyard, Zhao Xin made a grimace at Zhao Yuzhong and followed behind him half a step behind.

Now that it has entered September and it is the late autumn season, Zhao Ta walked aimlessly in the garden, thinking about his thoughts, although he had expected that the day of returning to Beijing would not be too far away, and arranged a number of things in full swing, but it still disrupted his plan, and the most unfortunate thing was that he was involuntarily involved in the battle for succession, and no one expected how far things would develop.

"There is a monkey at the top of the mountain, and the guests nod as soon as they arrive. The head is large, the neck is small, the belly is large, and the mouth is upturned. ”

"A little cub is white, and his mouth is born on the tip of his forehead. Seeing the guest, he nodded wildly. ”

"Born in the mountains, sold under the mountains, and when it reaches the water, it will bloom."

"Born in the green mountains and leaves, died in the lake and dyed red. People love to invite me first, and I am not in the banquet. ”

Unconsciously, Zhao Ta walked along the corridor to the backyard, and suddenly heard the sound of someone talking, and listened carefully to the family surnamed Zhu who lived in the backyard making tea in the pavilion and guessing riddles, it sounded interesting, and the two stopped to peek, "Go downstairs and come to the money: ask the sky, where are the people?" hates Wang Sun, and has been going: to sign the enemy, it is difficult to stay. I regret that at the beginning, I missed my mouth: there is a handover, there is no handover: why do you need to ask? Don't use a knife to separate: Don't rely on the enemy from now on: a thousand miles of lovesickness will be wiped out. Then a little lady with her back to him groaned.

"Second master, what is she talking about!" Zhao Xin listened and thought hard for a while, and then turned his face and asked Zhao Ta.

"There are words hidden in this poem, and the design is quite exquisite!" Zhao Ta thought for a moment and knew the answer, and couldn't help but praise.

"Second master, what is it?" Zhao Xin pulled the prince and asked anxiously.

"Listen to me: Say goodbye to your son, and no one will be able to reach the end of the world. Looking forward to the return of spring and sunset, there are few pedestrians, and you can't stop it, so you can't tell if you have a mouth. Good intersection, you throw me so that I have no upper end and no lower tip. The soap heat is indistinguishable, and you don't need a knife to break up. No one is hateful, and a thousand lovers are still skimmed off. Guess what! Zhao Ta said word for word in order to make Zhao Xin understand.

"Childe is so literate, can you bend over and have a drink together!" Hearing Zhao Qing's answer, he stood up and said.

"What a son, it's clearly a villain, secretly eavesdropping on people!" A crisp female voice came, clearly with disdain.

"I'm sorry, I'm just passing by, and I overheard you gossiping and talking on a whim, disturbing your Yaxing, please forgive me!" Zhao Ta grabbed Zhao Xin, who was about to step forward, and confessed to the crime.

"Where is the childe, the little girl is not sensible, please don't blame the child!" Over there, a middle-aged man wearing a scribe's shirt and a Dongpo scarf stood up and saluted back.

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Zhao Ta politely said a few words and left.

The next day, the sky is not beautiful, it rained early in the morning, as the saying goes, an autumn rain and a cold, the body has always been very good, Huangjing County hurt the wind, fever and sneezing can not get up, let Yi Cheng invite the best doctor in the state city to diagnose the disease, fortunately, there is no big problem, two medicines are prescribed only to recuperate, but the trip has also been delayed, can not go again, had to live in the post house.

Zhao Ta ordered someone to decoct the medicine, personally served Huang Jingchen, and just after talking for a while, he heard that Chen Liuzhizhou led a group of subordinate officials to come to greet him, he didn't know this person, but he couldn't dial the kindness of others, so he could only deal with it and say something useless. There was a conversation until noon, Zhizhou asked the prince to come over to the house to pick up the wind and wash the dust for him, Zhao Ta refused because of the bad weather, and there were patients, but these people did not give up, and ordered a few good banquets on the table and sent them to the post house, and invited the big and small officials in and out of Beijing in the post house to accompany him, Zhao Ta had no choice but to change his clothes and take the teacher to the banquet. ,

The banquet was placed in the hall of the post house, Zhao Ta took two "chief guards, saw Xi and Zhao Xin and a few guards entered the door, everyone quickly got up and saluted, he also nodded with a smile in return, he looked left and right and suddenly his eyes lit up, he found a hint of light red in a crimson green official robe, this is a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, she is like a flower, budding to be released. Eyebrows, red lips, Qiong nose, white melon seed face, combed with tassels, wearing a light red narrow-sleeved shirt, wearing a long skirt of the same color, tied with red palace silk, draped in peach-colored silk, although he is not very old, but the flowers and moon appearance that have come and gone, radiant, and pure, make Zhao Ta, an old virgin man, can't help but feel a wave in his heart.

"Lord Wang, this is Deputy Envoy Zhu's young daughter Shuzhen, although she is young, she also reads poetry and books, knows music and rhythm, and is known as a talented girl!" Chen Liuzhizhou saw that the prince was distracted, and hurriedly stepped forward to introduce.

"Lord Wanfu, Shu is really polite!". The little lady stood up, put her hands on her waist and bowed slightly.

"Auntie...... Hello girl! ”。 Zhao Ta woke up, and hurriedly returned the salute in a panic, the little girl saw Zhao Ta's appearance, her eyes were hooked, and two blushes flew out of her face.

"Lord Wang, please take a seat!". Seeing that the prince was out of shape, the prefect hurriedly made a round and invited him to take a seat.

Zhao Tan sat down, Zhizhou sat on his lower left, He Qufei was invited by several subordinate officials to sit at another table, Zhao Xin led two guards to the curtain behind him, the left and right screens carefully checked one side, stood behind him quietly, saw Xi took a box from Wangfu's hand, replaced the chopsticks and wine glasses in front of the prince, they were at the mercy of the prefect a little embarrassed, but they didn't dare to say anything, but they didn't call people to serve food and wine, only a cup of tea.

"Hello everyone, the old man is late!". When everyone was a little impatient, a person walked in with a big grin, although he said loudly in his mouth, but there was no apology on his face, and the people in the hall stood up and bowed as if he should be like this, although some people were not angry, but they were helpless.

Zhao Ta didn't move, frowned slightly, and then realized that he hadn't held a banquet for a long time, and it was this old guy who was waiting, but seeing that he was wearing a green robe, even if he was an official, he would not be higher than the seventh grade, but everyone was more respectful than him.

"Hello, Lord Wang!" The man walked to Zhao Peng's right hand and said hello, and was about to sit down.

"Excuse me who you are!". Zhao Ta raised his hand, didn't let him sit down, and asked without his eyes clipping, but the man was stunned.

"Lord Wang, this is ......" The prefect quickly got up and smiled and prepared to introduce.

"Did I ask you? Let him speak for himself! ”。 Zhao Ta glared at him and said, his tone was quite unkind, the prefect blushed, and retreated in a sneer, neither standing nor sitting.

"Lord Wang, the next official is Zhu Xugao, the head of Lord Zhu's mansion in Suizhou Observation Envoy, meet the prince!" The man chuckled dryly and bowed.

"A subordinate of the family who is looking for flowers and willows, digging graves, and building houses and plastering mud also dares to sit with this king and call him a lower official, get out of the house!" Zhao Ta slapped the table and shouted, his words were vicious enough, Zhu Bi relied on contributing strange flowers and stones, digging some antiques from the ancient tomb, and helping the emperor build a house to make a fortune, but he also hated people to say this, Zhao Qing exposed people's shortcomings in public, and these words were no different from taking off people's pants and spanking them on the street.

After Zhao Ta's words were finished, not only Zhu Xugao was stunned, but the people in the hall were also stunned, Zhu Bi now is what kind of market everyone knows, he really wants money and money, and he wants to be powerful, not to mention those local officials, they are loyal ministers in the court, and there are many people in the emperor's relatives who regard him as a guest, and it is the first one like Zhao Ta who dares to humiliate him in front of everyone!

"Lord, my lord is a big member, and the younger one has also been blessed by the chemical officer, and he has followed the lord into the palace and been to the kings' palaces, even if the prince doesn't look down on the small ones, it depends on the master to beat the dog, right?" Zhu Xugao has also been in and out of various palaces, where is not accompanied by the prince, and he is waiting for good food and drink, but today he was scolded by Zhao Qing in public, and he felt deeply faceless.

"Bastard thing, I know that I am a dog, and I dare to sit next to the prince and fork out!" Zhao Ta behind him couldn't help but shout loudly. He thought to himself that the old man had followed the prince for so many years, and he was now the first cronie, or I smelled the prince when he ate, what the hell are you, and I want to sit down and eat!

"Prince Chong, you will regret treating me like this!" Zhu Xugao was dragged out like chickens by Zhao Ta's two guards, and shouted angrily.

"The prince is angry, or don't do it on the thin face of the main observer envoy and the lower officials!" Zhizhou originally got the benefits of Zhu Bi, and promised him to agree with the prince for him, and the idea was to come out of Zhu Rudan, but he didn't expect the opening scene to be like this.

"Oh?! Since you intercede for him, bring him back! ”。 Zhao Qing gave Zhizhou a lot of face, and ordered with a smile.

"Thank you, Lord Xie......" Zhi just breathed a sigh of relief, and when he heard the second half of the prince's sentence, he was so shocked that he almost bit his tongue off.

"Okay, you go back and take back the little piggy's head, I'm here to see how your master makes me regret it!". Zhao Ta still said with a smile.

"Lord Wang, you have a lot of adults, so spare the little one and the nephew and the young master, and let us fart today!" Zhu Xugao looked at the prince's cold gaze, and said knowingly, "Grandson, you can do what you say, it's still a trivial matter for you to be beaten, and now I'm on the order of the master" Redeem, young nephew, now take your head back, the master still doesn't record himself alive, his legs are weak, he kneels on the ground softly, kowtows like a chicken pecking rice, and there is no longer the arrogance just now.

"Giggle...!". Zhao Ta suddenly heard a chuckle, raised his head suddenly, and met the eyes of the girl in the banquet, he scratched his scalp and threw her a slightly apologetic smile! (To be continued.) ）
