Xie Wei stood at the door of the side hall, looking at the courtyard in front of him from a distance, seeing that Xie Zheng was very familiar with the big internal official, and the imperial meal must not be the first reward, Xie Wei leaned on the Zhu Gate, thinking in his heart, it seems that his "sister" is still a big celebrity in front of the Son of Heaven!

Good! All right! His trip was not in vain!

What else do you say about climbing dragons and phoenixes? What is the stammering of the powerful? It turns out that his good "sister" can be regarded as a powerful person for half a month!

Xie Zheng watched Du Chun walk away, and then turned around and walked in the direction of the side hall with Huan Ling, Yuzhi carried the food box and followed behind Xie Zheng.

And Xie Wei, who was standing at the door, saw that Xie Zheng was walking back, and immediately walked down to greet him, flatteringly: "Sister! ”

As he spoke, he pretended to support Xie Zheng and returned to the side hall with her.

The three of them returned to the side hall, and Huan Ling and Xie Zheng had already sat down. But Xie Wei stood beside Xie Zheng fixedly, neither saying a word nor saying a word, just smiling at Xie Zheng, why he was like this, Xie Zheng also knew it, so he didn't ask him.

Yuzhi walked in with the food box, and was about to put the food box on Xie Zheng's seat, but Xie Zheng gave her a look, and then made a gesture and pointed to Xie Wei's guest seat, Yuzhi understood, so he had to put the food box on Xie Wei's seat, Xie Wei glanced back, Xie Zheng smiled: "This imperial meal, I have never been used to eating it, brother eat it." ”

Like Xie Wei, who has not seen much of the world, as soon as he heard Xie Zheng's words, he immediately turned around and sat back, and said with a smile: "My sister treats me really well!" ”

Yuzhi opened the food box layer by layer for him, and took out the three dishes inside, which were mixed with celery and garlic, honey ginger strips and steamed honey lotus.

These three dishes seem to be really newly made dishes by the imperial chef in the palace, although Xie Zheng has never tasted them in the palace, but he has eaten them a few times in the Hou Mansion.

Xie Wei was not polite at all, and immediately picked up the chopsticks and tasted them one by one, and then praised Xie Zheng and said: "Sister, this imperial meal, it feels different when you eat it." ”

Huan Ling, who was sitting opposite, couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, lowered his head and pretended to scoop soup to drink, but secretly smiled.

Xie Zheng also squeezed out a hint of embarrassment and said, "If my brother likes it, all the imperial meals rewarded in the harem will go to my brother." ”

"That's natural, you're a sister, you can't do anything good with your brother first?" Xie Wei was engrossed in enjoying the imperial meal, and when he heard Xie Zheng say that all the imperial meals would be his, he didn't even think about it, and said such an offensive and annoying sentence with one mouth.

Xie Zheng finally couldn't bear his unceremonious attitude, so he raised his eyebrows and asked, "That's natural?" ”

Co-author Xie Wei took her politeness for granted? Be! Xie Wei was kind to her, and she really should have entertained him, but when he said such a thing, she was naturally not happy.

Xie Wei was stunned, he didn't react until this time, he said the wrong thing, too, this newcomer, he always has to be polite with others, he hurriedly laughed: "No, no, I mean, my sister has good things to follow my brother, and my brother has good things to naturally follow my sister, brother and sister, isn't it all like this?" ”

After he finished speaking, he picked up a few pieces of steamed honey lotus and sent them to the plate in front of Xie Zheng, Xie Zheng didn't want to say anything more, people were guests after all!

After breakfast, Xie Zheng hurriedly rode into the palace in an ox cart to thank him, and Yuzhi was also a companion.

Xiao Daocheng got out of the early dynasty and was sitting in the Shiqian Hall to review the recital, but he was holding Mao Ying, but he didn't seem to have any intention of reading the recital, but asked the little eunuch from time to time: "Why hasn't this girl Xie Zheng come yet, have you told her that you want to come to the palace after breakfast to thank you?" ”

Twilight Chun smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the county lord is smart, you don't need the slave to mention this matter, the county lord himself will ask the slave and the maid." ”

Xiao Daocheng became interested at this time and asked, "What did she ask you?" ”

Twilight Chun smiled, and said in a ghostly manner: "The county lord asked the slave maid if His Majesty was thinking about Fa'er to summon her into the palace again." ”

"This girl," Xiao Daocheng laughed, and then asked, "Then what did you say?" ”

"Hey...... "Due Chun half-bowed, learning the tone of Qu Ping's daily speech, and replied with a smile: "Where do you dare to confess your majesty......

Xiao Daocheng stretched out his hand, pointed at him with a smile, and then gave the two inner supervisors standing next to him a look, signaling them to remove the notebook on the bookcase.

Coincidentally, the two inner eunuchs were carrying the notebooks on the bookcase and were walking towards the side hall, and the inner eunuchs guarding outside hurriedly entered the hall to report: "Your Majesty, the county lord of Shanyin is here." ”

Xiao Daocheng's face showed visible joy, and he hurriedly waved towards the door of the hall, saying, "Quickly call her in, don't bask in the sun." ”

The inner eunuch turned around and went out to spread the word, Xie Zheng immediately walked in with the jade branch, Xiao Daocheng saw her coming, and pretended to be serious, and when Xie Zheng saluted, he asked with a straight look: "Xie girl, why do you have time to come to the palace to see me today?" ”

Xie Zheng also said bluntly: "Isn't it that Your Majesty wants to summon Weichen?" ”

"Nonsense," Xiao Daocheng picked two thick, thick, and black eyebrows, just like two caterpillars wriggling on his eyebrows, he still had eyes, and only said, "When did I want to summon you." ”

Xie Zheng smiled playfully, also raised his willow eyebrows, and said: "Your Majesty rewarded Weichen with the imperial meal, and Weichen will inevitably enter the palace to thank him. ”

"Hey," Xiao Daocheng finally couldn't help laughing, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Xie Zheng again, and quipped: "You girl, you are really shrewd." ”

After he said that, half of his body involuntarily went forward, reached his head, and beckoned to Xie Zheng, and said, "Xiao Xie, you come closer." ”

Xie Zheng then took two steps closer to her, and then asked, "Your Majesty, today, what do you have to say to Weichen?" ”

When Xiao Daocheng heard this, he immediately sat up straight, like a coquette, and said: "What you said is nothing serious, I can't summon you into the palace to play chess and talk about your heart?" ”

Xie Zheng put his hands behind his back, shook his head, pretended to think about it, and said with a smile: "Hmm...... Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven, and whatever you say is what you say. ”

"However, I summoned you here today, and I really have something serious to tell you," Xiao Daocheng stood up and walked down unhurriedly, Xie Zheng didn't ask what was going on, just looked at him and waited for the next step.

Xiao Daocheng walked up to her and said: "Yesterday, I received Shen Wenhe's book, saying that the team escorting grain and grass has now arrived in Jiangzhou, and it is very thorough along the way, and also said that according to the current process, in two months, the grain and grass can be safely delivered to Jiuzhen County. ”

Xie Zheng listened to it and pondered: "From Jiankang to Jiangzhou, it will not be possible to arrive in half a month, and it will only take ten days to arrive in the matter, and this trip is considered extremely fast." ”

"Well," Xiao Daocheng also nodded, and then said: "However, I am not here to praise Shen Wenhe with you today, do you know that because of your advice to let the Shi clan donate grain, now the granary of the Taicang Department is full of piles, Xiao Xie, you are a hero!" ”

It turned out that he wanted to reward her for this matter, and Xie Zheng speculated.

She smiled, and then said humbly: "The matter of collecting grain, Weichen just used his brain, but he didn't make any contributions, your concubine Niangniang and Si Nongqing Lu Envoy Jun are the great heroes, Your Majesty, if you want to make merit, you need to be the noble concubine Niangniang first." ”

Xiao Daocheng also habitually put his hands behind his back, and then paced around Xie Zheng in the hall, and said: "Concubine Xie, I have rewarded her earlier, I have rewarded her with a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, and she has also accepted it, as for Lu Huilin's ......" When Xiao Daocheng mentioned Lu Huilin, he suddenly stopped, thought about it, only sneered, and then said: "Why is the granary of the Taicang Department empty, and it has not been emptied little by little?" Lu Huilin is in the important position of Si Nongqing, and the granary is empty, will he not know? ”

When he said this, he withdrew the two hands behind his back, and then put the two hands in front of him and saved them, and sighed: "In this Manchu Dynasty, who is loyal to me, who is loyal to me, who is false and wronged to me, I have always known in my heart. ”

Xie Zheng's heart trembled slightly, this Xiao Daocheng, talking about this matter inexplicably, didn't he mean to tell her? But she didn't treat him too perfunctory......

She couldn't tell whether Xiao Daocheng was talking about those courtiers or her.

Xie Zheng is really too careful, Xiao Daocheng is really just sighing about those ministers.

He came back to his senses and immediately said to Xie Zheng: "Xiao Xie, in the final analysis, it is you who offer advice to me, so that the situation in Taicang will not make it difficult for me to do, you are a hero, I summoned you today to reward you." ”

Xie Zheng knelt down and said: "Weichen now claims to be the lord of Shanyin County, and is respected by the people, and it is already a gift from His Majesty, and now he no longer dares to ask for a reward." ”

"Merit is not rewarded, this is not my style, you know, I have always been a person with clear rewards and punishments," Xiao Daochang breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with a smile: "I have already thought about your reward, I want to make you the lord of a county, Hengyang County, three thousand households, what do you think?" ”

Xie Zheng was stunned, not because Xiao Daocheng named her the county lord, but because there were 3,000 households in the food town, and you must know that the 3,000 households in the food town were the princess's mining land, and as the county lord, there were only 2,000 households at most......

"Your Majesty, isn't your reward too heavy...... Xie Zheng felt that it was inappropriate, but Xiao Daocheng didn't think so, he smiled and said: "What is heavy or not, since I have decided to do so, it is naturally after careful consideration." ”

Even so, Xie Zhengzi didn't want to say anything more, so he kowtowed, "Yes, Weichen thank Your Majesty for your grace, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live." ”

Xiao Daocheng didn't say anything, only raised his hand, Xie Zheng was helped by the jade branch to stand up, Xiao Daocheng immediately ordered: "Summoning the province of Zhongshu and ordering them to draw up a decree." ”

Qu Ping stood aside, and when he heard this, he gestured to Duchun, and Duchun understood, so he hurriedly walked out.

Xiao Daocheng turned around and was about to sit down in front of the bookcase, but after walking two steps and turning around, he asked, "Xiao Xie, do you know how to throw pots?" ”

"Pitcher?" Xie Zheng pretended to be surprised, frowned again, pretended to be embarrassed, and then replied: "Yes, yes, but I am not very proficient." ”

Thinking about this pitcher, she is very good, in Jiankang, if she is second, I am afraid no one dares to call herself the first.

Xiao Daocheng was proud when he heard this, so he clapped his hands immediately, and was complacent at Xie Zheng, "You're not proficient?" All right! I can't play chess, elephant play, shooting, and pampering, but now I finally have a game that can be pressed on top of your head, and I still think you can play everything. ”

Xie Zheng smiled and said nothing, Xiao Daocheng saw that there was a hint of playfulness and amusement in her smile, and couldn't help but think that she was making fun of him, and immediately asked, "What are you laughing at?" Aren't you also proficient in this pitcher? I know, you must be trying to tell me to let down my guard, the last time you said you wouldn't, you ended up winning all the tricks, and now you want to deceive me. ”

When the palace eunuchs heard this, they all covered their mouths and snickered, Xie Zheng couldn't help laughing, Xiao Daocheng hurriedly asked: "Tell me, what else do you can't do, Ye Zixi?" Playing chess? Grip the lance? Hidden hooks? Dramatic shooting? ”

Xie Zheng replied with a smile: "Weichen won't have too much, and he can't count them on one finger." ”

Xiao Daocheng here suddenly seemed to remember something, and hurriedly asked Xie Zheng: "By the way, Xiao Xie, can you ride a horse and shoot arrows?" If you do, I'll ...... next autumn."

Before the words fell, the inner supervisor guarding the entrance of the hall suddenly went to the hall to report: "Your Majesty, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites is here." ”

Xiao Dao seemed to have been waiting for the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and immediately beckoned when he heard the words, "Xuan!" ”

In the blink of an eye, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites came to the palace, and when he was about to salute, Xiao Daocheng said impatiently: "You don't need to salute, I asked you to prepare the roster?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it's ready," said the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and then presented a roster like a notebook, opened it and looked at it, and then said, "Rong Zhen, take a look, you can step down." ”

The waiter of the Ministry of Etiquette retreated, Xiao Daocheng took a closer look at the roster, Xie Zheng also stretched his head over to look, and saw that there were many noble daughters in the Jiankang clan who were waiting for words on the roster, many of which she recognized, such as "Yingchuan Yu Zizhao", "Wujun Lu Lu Wei", "Langya Wang Lingyi", "Langya Wang Lingyue", ......

Xie Zheng couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, what are you doing?" ”

Xiao Daocheng replied: "I want to give Xichang Hou (Xiao Luan) a marriage, after all, he is my eldest nephew, and he has not yet married in the year of his establishment, and his mother has come to annoy me twice in three days." ”

Xie Zheng understood that the nobles on this roster were all the wives that Xiao Daocheng wanted to choose for Xiao Luan.

Xiao Daocheng seemed to close the roster inadvertently, and said to Xie Zheng: "Xiao Xie, you go back first, and then I will summon you to throw the pot when I am empty." ”

"Yes, Weichen retired."

After Xie Zheng left, Xiao Daocheng opened the roster again, he removed the thumb on the roster, and on the white paper, four big words "Shanyin County Lord" suddenly appeared, Xiao Daocheng stared at these four words for a long time, and then suddenly threw the roster on the ground, and said angrily: "Go and ask the Ministry of Etiquette, who came up with the idea to add Xie Zheng, and told him to go to the court to get twenty boards!" ”

Qu Ping walked over and picked up the roster, opened it and looked at it, and then lowered his head and responded, "Yes." ”
