Chapter Eighty-Eight: Take the Initiative to Ask for Help
Du Zhongyang was the adoptive mother of Li Miao, the king of Zhang, who was deposed for plotting a rebellion and demoted to the Duke of Chaoxian County. Du Zhongyang "returned" to his hometown Runzhou.
Du Zhongyang was also in the limelight for a while, and Tang Xianzong gave Du Zhongyang as the autumn concubine.
After Xianzong's death, Mu Zong ascended the throne and made Du Zhongyang the Fu Mu of his son Li Cao. Li was convicted, and Fu Mu was "returned" to his hometown.
Du Zhongyang has no children and no daughters, and he is lonely. The life encounters fell directly from the sky to the ground and smashed into the mud.
Not to mention glory and wealth, brocade clothes and jade food are hugged before and after. Even the minimum food and clothing cannot be guaranteed,
The weather was cold, Du Qiuniang knitted a winter coat, and borrowed the neighbor's loom to make clothes in the dark.
When Li Deyu saw the old and poor Du Qiuniang, he felt pity and took her to the Taoist temple to be supported by the official family.
So he offered Du Qiuniang, intending to befriend Li Miao's bad intentions, which became the second charge of impeachment of Li Deyu by political opponents.
The impeachment of Li Deyu was put on the court case. A few charges made Wen Zong happy.
Okay, you Li Deyu, come back when you come back, stay and don't return, and play Tai Chi with him.
He figured out that he didn't want to get involved in the matter of Lichu. The backers will fall, everyone will run, and he needs the help of his courtiers, so he has a small abacus.
Wenzong was not angry with anything else. said that Li Deyu had a second heart, but Wenzong would never believe it.
As he wished, let him who falls get up. If you don't want to come back, stay outside.
Wenzong made a decree and appointed Li Deyu as an observer envoy in western Zhejiang.
Li Deyu did not wait to see the 'Ten Talented Women', received the holy decree, and after returning to Chuzhou to hand over, he went to serve as an observer in western Zhejiang.
Jiang Xin will be recuperated for half a year, his body will recover seventy or eighty percent, there are still faint whip marks on his body, and his appearance will return to the same as before.
Compared with the meeting when he was just rescued by Jiang Yao, the whole thing was reborn, as if he had returned to the furnace to reshape his body, and he was judged to be like two people.
Afterwards, Liancheng talked about how he felt when he first saw him, and Jiang Xin couldn't stop laughing.
"Childe, I'll tell you the truth, the first time I served you to take a bath, I didn't eat for two days."
Jiang Xin smiled: "If you serve me to take a bath now, will you eat two more bowls of rice?" ”
Liancheng asked, "Why?" ”
"Because I'm so good-looking." Jiang Xin laughed after speaking.
In the process of Jiang Xin's begging and wandering, he suffered a lot of white eyes, and people were afraid to avoid him when they saw him.
Even out of pity, what was given to him to eat was thrown at him far away. So it's not easy to joke with Liancheng confidently now.
One day Jiang Yao came to see him, and Jiang Xin said, "Childe, can I go to the restaurant to help?" ”
Jiang Yao: "Of course you can, if you go, Xiuying will be a lot easier." ”
With Jiang Yao's approval, Jiang Xin immediately went to work.
Jiang Yao went out with him and walked to the door of the restaurant, Jiang Yao didn't stop.
"Childe, where are you going?" Jiang Xin asked.
Jiang Yao: "Wrap it up." ”
Jiang Yao took him to the Splendid Workshop and bought a duck egg blue round-necked robe, Jiang Xin's hair was a little short, and he pulled it to the top of his head and put it on his head.
People rely on clothes and Buddha rely on gold, and no one will associate Luotuo beggar with the son in front of him. What a delicate and elegant son.
Jiang Yao was in front, Jiang Xin was behind, and the two entered the restaurant.
"Brother Jiang."
Xiuying stood behind the counter and saw another person come in behind her, "This guest..."
She came out from behind the counter, "Brother Jiang Xin, I didn't recognize you when I looked at you." ”
Jiang Yao went upstairs first. Jiang Xin stayed in the hall, ready to show off his skills.
Ashina came down from upstairs after delivering wine to the guests, "Brother Jiang Xin, have you changed your face?" ”
Jiang Xin waved at her: "It's a new life." ”
"Shopkeeper, I'll go to work." Jiang Xin and Xiuying said hello and went straight to the kitchen.
Serving tea, serving food, wiping the table, and sweeping the floor, Jiang Xin is quick with his hands and feet, and agile.
Up and down the restaurant, there is a busy figure of him shuttling, he is a brick, where he needs to move.
Xiuying teased him: "Brother Jiang Xin, you are called by three people alone, how can you pay your salary?" ”
Jiang Xin: "Just take care of food and housing, don't use wages." ”
He turned to face the women seated, "A few Yaochi fairies, please wait a moment." ”
He took the menu to the back kitchen, and quickly turned back with a pot of chrysanthemum tea in his hand.
The handsome little brother was also attentive and answered a few guests correctly.
At dinner, several female guests came, and several women were dressed in Hu costumes.
Yun Sideburns are combed into a sword-like bun, and he is dressed in a robe with narrow sleeves and tight lapels, trousers, and high-waisted boots. He carries a sword and wraps diagonally over his shoulder.
"How many fairies go upstairs, or do they sit in the hall?" Jiang Xin greeted him attentively and asked.
A few people looked at each other, and the older woman said, "It's in the hall." ”
Jiang Xin took them to the window and sat down, and they could see the lively street scene of Dongshi outside the window.
"Restaurant, what are your signature dishes?" The woman asked.
"There are many delicious varieties, such as fish as fine as snow, donkey mane venison meat, taro soup, steamed roe piso cake, jade dew ball, wheat cake, wonton..." Jiang Xin reported a long list in one breath.
Xiuying leaned on the counter and listened to Jiang Xin's mouth like a river. When did he do his homework? I have worked hard and am very familiar with the restaurant business.
"Fairies, please wait." He took the menu to the back kitchen.
Jiang Xin poured wine for them with a cormorant spoon, and the parrot cup was fragrant and clear.
"Good wine." A few people smelled the wine and praised.
"Senior sister, let's bring some back to Master."
"Senior sister is only afraid that the drunkard will not be in the bar?"
"I didn't tell my brother."
The youngest girl stared at her eyes and distinguished, there were no innocent words of three hundred taels of silver here, and even Jiang Xin was amused.
The girl blushed and glared at him.
"I mean, thanks to a few people's love, I will give a few people a pot, and the right to make a promotion for the small store."
Jiang Xin knows how to do business, and he makes decisions directly. Jiang Xin cut first and then played to Xiuying.
"Shopkeeper, I promised to give them a jug of wine."
Xiuying waved his hand and said, "Whoever has enough to drink a pot will give a jar of peach blossom brew." ”“
Shopkeeper, you are a person who does big things, and you are atmospheric enough. ”
Jianghu people go south and north, and wherever they go, they are widely publicized. The wine is produced in our own backyard, and it has become a series, peach blossom brew, plum fragrance, etc.
Bolene cabbage, cut sashimi, wheat cakes, ravioli, donkey's mane venison, steamed roe piso cake on the table.
"A few slow users." Jiang Xin smiled and turned away.
At this time, several guests entered the door, one of them was a bewitching and beautiful woman, looking at King Ying with a smile, and the two were walking into the door with a smile.
Jiang Xin's gaze fell on the woman, and a smile froze on her face.
The woman on the seat saw that his face suddenly turned like ashes, and asked with concern, "Is the little brother okay?" ”
The woman who was laughing with King Ying looked at them at this time.
Jiang Xin's soul was like leaving his body, turning around mechanically and striding mechanically. didn't say hello to Xiuying, and walked straight to the back kitchen.
