Chapter 209: A Narrative in the Room
For what Mrs. Li secretly decided, Li Wensong, who was busy outside, didn't know that the Drunken Immortal Building was the property of the Li family, and there was a private room left for Li Wensong alone for many years, as long as he sent someone over to say it, he could clean it up.
With so many chefs from the Drunken Immortal Building, tonight's banquet will definitely not be out of sight. Li Wensong consciously had the chance to win, and he didn't even write a post, but went directly to Kong Yu's former mansion to visit.
It's just that the Kong family is less scary, and finally knocked on the two riveted big red doors behind the stone lion, and a short man with sleepy eyes rubbed his head raised and scolded.
"Knock on it, when is this coming, and it can't make people sleep well."
Obviously, it was just past dinner time at this time, and Mrs. Li was inexplicably told, but the location was in front of Kong Yu's house, and he didn't want to be too strong, so he held back his anger and politeness.
"This official is Li Wensong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and he specially came to visit Master Kong to congratulate Master Kong on his promotion and housewarming, and I hope that the little brother will go in and help me spread the word."
"What Shangshu, adults, said a lot, where do I remember?" The little guy sounds like he's not very old, but he's just a little older. Regarding Xiaowu's call, Li Wensong really didn't know what to say.
"But if you're looking for us, Master Kong, then it's not the right time for you to come, two adults have already invited us over for dinner this afternoon, and they haven't come back yet."
"Which two adults are they, please tell me." Li Wensong's eyes widened, looking very curious, the little guy tilted his head and thought, "I don't know, there are so many officials in the capital, one by one, where do I remember it?" ”
Such a stupid little guy, Kong Yu has no taste to choose this person to come to the home nursing home. Li Wensong felt that the patience he had pretended to be exhausted by him was almost exhausted, so he only gritted his back molars and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth.
"Then you should remember where they ate."
"Of course I remember this, you make me stupid." The little guy gave Li Wensong a very unconvinced look, Li Wensheng hung his hands helplessly, he really had no way to deal with this little guy.
"I heard that it is the most famous drunken immortal building in the city, and many officials and nobles like to eat there, and our adults said that if there is a chance one day, they will also take me to taste it."
After going around in a big circle, not only was the target taken precedent, but the place was specially chosen under his nose.
The fact that Drunken Immortal Building is the property of the Li family has always been very secretive, but the person who invited Kong Yu to go out chose such a special place that Li Wensong really can't be doubted.
"In that case, then the official will come back next time." No matter what aspect he considered, Li Wensong felt very unhappy in his heart, and he immediately threw his sleeves away with a calm face.
The little guy looked at him very innocently and suddenly lost his temper, and hid most of his body behind the door with one rivet door frame, looking a little frightened by Li Wensong's formation.
"Why are you so angry? Could it be that he can't afford to eat Drunken Immortal Mansion and still be an official, and he even wants to be angry with my little girl,"
The little man's muttering was listened to by Li Wensong, who had not yet left, and the groom who was driving was worried that he would say something disrespectful later, so he immediately threw his whip and drove away.
And when the little guy saw that they suddenly quickened their pace, he felt that his guess was correct. "I guess I also took a fancy to our Master Kong's promotion and fortune, and wanted to come over to join in the fun. In that case, thanks to my cleverness, I stopped him outside, and when Master Kong came back, he would definitely praise me. ”
After muttering these last few words, the little servant closed the door contentedly.
The horseman drove outside in fear, and at the same time cautiously asked Li Wensong's opinion, "My lord, shall we go to the Drunken Immortal Tower to have a look?" ”
"What are you going to do, aren't you ashamed of today?" The curtain of the car covered everything inside, and only Li Wensong's deeply hidden angry voice came from behind.
The groom shook his hand at this reprimand, and quickly changed direction and went home.
As for the Drunken Immortal Building, except for the private room booked by Li Wensong, it was almost full of friends. The hall on the first floor is a place for some ordinary people to eat, the rooms on the second floor are only for businessmen and wealthy people, and the private rooms on the third floor only reach the officials and nobles, and as for Li Wensong's single room, it is on the highest fourth floor.
Zuixianlou almost deletes the intersection of the two main streets and goes out to the right hand side through the alley, which is the residence of the people, and the left hand side crosses the main street, which is the only way to the most prosperous place in the capital.
Therefore, under the extremely convenient geographical conditions, coupled with the unique chef in the building, Zuixianlou has become the most famous restaurant in Beijing.
All the big officials in the capital, whether they are greedy or incorruptible, like to come over occasionally to patronize, which can be regarded as a major mainstream in the capital.
The person who invited Kong Yu to eat here today was none other than Su Jingye and Shi Zhengcheng, two friends.
"Congratulations to Master Kong on his promotion, with the previous articles of Lord Kong that were favored by His Majesty, it must not be long before he can replace Li Wensong's favor in front of His Majesty."
Su Jingye can be regarded as following the convenience of Shi Zhengzhi, and he can also get acquainted with Kong Yu through tonight's banquet. It's just that Kong Yu is a slow person, Su Jingye raised his wine glass and said it heroically, his expression was still faint.
"Thank you Lord Wang, today is also thanks to the Lord for protecting in front of His Majesty, otherwise the lower officials would not have achieved such an achievement." Kong Yu was very polite and touched a cup with him in the air, "It's just that I don't know why the prince looks down on Master Li so much?" ”
"Lord Li is humble and submissive, and his tone among the hundred officials has always been excellent, and it is expected that he can win His Majesty's favor, why should the prince hold him?"
"Be humble and obedient, I'm afraid it's just a vain." Su Jingye put down the wine glass, the expression on his face became serious, and exchanged glances with Shi Zhengzhi, Shi Zhengzhi nodded, and then took his words and continued.
"In fact, we suspect that Li Wensong has a close relationship with the framing of Master Bao."
"Master Bao's personality, presumably Master Kong has worked with him for many years, and he should know best. If there is no powerful and powerful person behind the scenes, who can force him to be disheartened in the end and ask for guilt and belittlement. ”
Worried that Shi Zhengzhi's words alone would not carry enough weight, Su Jingye also specially moved out of Bao Changchuan. Sure enough, Kong Yoo's eyes that didn't matter to him at the beginning suddenly changed.
"That's why you targeted Li Wensong, but if there is no evidence, these are just our random speculations, and they can't be true."
"Actually, when Lord Bao was framed, we didn't know very well, this king was called into the palace at that time, and Lord Shi had something to do, so he could only perform his own duties." As he spoke, Su Jingye glanced at Shi Zhengzhi, who shook his head very regretfully.
"As for Zhao Ming, this is a useless embroidered pillow, Pei Shuren is a guy who doesn't think it's a big deal to see the excitement, and he is still clear about all this, and only my princess."
"In this way, Xia Guan can still understand that the prince is worried that the princess and the woman can't believe it, so he is so hesitant and suspicious of Li Daren." Kong Yu lowered his eyes, looking pensive.
Su Jingye, who was sitting opposite him, did the opposite, shaking his head very firmly, "On the contrary, it is precisely because it is my wife's words that I can be more sure." ”
Shi Zhengzhi also echoed casually, "This is true, just like my wife, Kong Yun, don't underestimate the princess's ability, sometimes, she can also bring up some blind spots that we can't think of." ”
"In fact, before that, Li Wensong had already shown his feet, and even made a vague and uncertain speech in front of this king many times," Su Jingye said this, his eyes instantly sharpened a lot.
"If Master Kong wants evidence, this king can give it to you at any time. It's just that this king needs to advise Master Kong, Li Wensong has already set his sights on the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and now that Master Kong is in office, he will definitely aim at you, no matter what he comes to the door and tells you, Master Kong must not believe it. ”
"Your Majesty hates the most about court officials forming gangs, and the lower officials know it in their hearts, even if Master Li comes with a different mind, the lower officials also have a degree in their hearts, and they will never cross the rules and give him a chance to take advantage of."
Speaking of which, the two of them can be regarded as reliable people, and now they have repeatedly emphasized in front of themselves that even if Kong Yu can't believe it, he will have some doubts in his heart.
"But now, this king remembers an interesting thing," Su Jingye took his words to heart when he looked at the peacock bird, and turned his head to look out the window.
The wooden windows of the private room were held up at an angle by the cyan bamboo poles, and from this gap, Su Jingye could barely see the pedestrians and carriages under the traffic.
At nightfall, people who find that their final destination is wrong will eventually make a way back in the middle of the intersection. Su Jingye stared vacantly at the carriage running down the street with lanterns hanging below, but he was talking to the other two people in the room.
"According to Li Wensong's habit, he will definitely invite Master Kong today, trying to persuade him to stand in the same line with him. But now, Master Kong is with the two of us, and a person as arrogant as Master Li wants to eat behind closed doors, what kind of anger should he have. ”
"What does Xiaguan's movements have to do with Lord Li?" Kong Yu understood the meaning of the pun, but he was not willing to beat around the bush, and still said the original words very straightforwardly.
"If it weren't for Shi Zhengcheng inviting me out today on the grounds of friendship with my classmates, and saying that there are any important things that need to be discussed with me, I may not be willing to agree to any other minister, and how can Master Li have the confidence to be sure that I will definitely go if I am invited."
