Chapter 138: Xu San Starts Work

"Morning tea?" The prince was curious and took the invitation card and asked the grandson, "How can anyone invite someone to eat tea in the morning to celebrate his birthday?" ”

Taisun smiled: "Look at the place where this tea is: upstairs on the bank of the Qinhuai River." I heard that Wei Guogong's new wife is preparing a restaurant, probably upstairs here! It's good to get this name! ”

Taisun didn't know that morning tea originated in Guangdong during the Qing Dynasty, and there were high and low tea houses. There is a saying: If you have money, you go upstairs, but you don't have money. It means that the rich spend their time in the richly decorated teahouses, and the peddlers and pawns can only make a happy living in cheap small restaurants. Bai Tang simply named this teahouse "Upstairs Upstairs", in exchange for Qin Jianhao's praise for dropping the bag!

"Tea in a restaurant?" The prince still felt uncomfortable.

Taisun smiled: "He Xu Qiu'an dared to bring a pot of tea to entertain us, and Wei Guogong and his wife refused to do anything!" ”

"That's right!" The prince recalled: Stinky boy, dare to sign your own store? Morning tea, it's a little interesting!

When the news spreads, naturally no one dares not to give face to the Great Demon King! Please are you looking up to you, don't come? Gile! Each obediently backed up the generous gift, waiting to be slaughtered by the Great Demon King: Isn't it a slaughter? Whose birthday dinner is eaten in the morning? Alas! Forget it, who called it Xu Qiu'an of the Duke of Wei? The right to destroy the wealth and eliminate the disaster!

Yang Qianjun of the Ministry of Rites also received this invitation. Disapplauded, he threw it to the side. He didn't have any spare money to give Xu San a gift!

A dilapidated sedan chair carried him to a staggering stop in front of the gate of the Ministry of Rites.

Yang Qianjun calmly dressed slightly, and prepared to start his day's work with a pious heart. He entered the door and took off his coat, habitually glanced at the roster - he rubbed his eyes, and then looked: Xu Qiu'an's three big characters neatly ranked first.

This is - what is the situation?

At his peak, Qiu Jing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, deliberately chose a good angle and peeked at Fan Yang Shilang's rare stunned expression with a smile, and then stepped forward and said, "That master arrived early in the morning." I'm sitting inside. ”

Pointing to the office room of the Foundry Bureau, Yang Qianjun coughed lightly, held back his surprise, and pushed the door in as if no one was around.

"Lord Yang!" Xu San raised his head and smiled at him, holding a scroll in his hand that he was very familiar with, "I have memorized the general book by heart." ”

In the following days, Yang Qianjun felt like he was in the clouds. Xu San was so well-behaved and obedient that he felt a sense of unreal nothingness! The burden of the chief envoy of the Foundry Bureau is not light, although Xu San has also been a deputy envoy before, but he has never seriously performed his duties. In the past few days, I have obediently started from scratch, getting familiar with the process step by step, and getting to know the craftsmen. Yang Qianjun is also worried that he is arrogant and uninhibited, and it is easy to offend people. The masters in the bureau have always been respectful of Xu San. As a result, within a few days, Xu San became one with them!

Yang Qianjun observed and summarized. There are three reasons for this. First, Xu San is rich!

Every day, tea and melons are sent to the workshop like water. From time to time, please go out and have a tooth sacrifice. Since he was on duty on time, everyone shouted Xu Zhengzhi in their mouths and the god of the stove in their hearts. Within a few days, the masters began to find fault with the food of the Ministry of Rites!

Even if you don't look at the face of the silver, no one dares to get along with Xu Qiu'an. At most, he scolded a few villains without anger behind his back.

Reason 2: Xu San is good-looking!

Yang Qianjun was very unconvinced by this reason, but he had to admit that Xu San, who was good-looking, was likable. As long as he doesn't play tricks, a peach blossom face with boundless spring can coax the emperor and deceive the children. Not to mention these uncles and uncles in the bureau? Master Jiang, who has the most resources, likes to recruit Xu San the most and asks him to sit on the side and watch his drawing.

"Concubine Jin Xian wants to make a jade medal." Master Jiang said slowly, "Use it on her new paintings." ”

"Concubine Jin Xian?" Xu San said curiously, "I don't remember that she was good at painting." How is her drawing skills? ”

Master Jiang glanced at him: "Your Majesty likes it." ”

Xu San stretched out his big finger: "No wonder your surname is Jiang!" ”

Master Jiang smiled and waved his hand: "Let's go, don't break my picture!" ”

Xu San got up with a smile and said before leaving: "Concubine Jin Xian loves plum blossoms." ”

Master Jiang looked at it for a moment, and the top of the jade medal was painted into a five-petal plum.

The third point that Qiu An can mix is that he is familiar with the head and the background is hard.

The big and small concubines and eunuch leaders in the palace, which one didn't smile politely when he saw him? Those eunuchs who want to pick up some money, and concubines who are dissatisfied with the seal and want to find fault, as long as Qiu An comes out, they are as quiet as chickens and retreat!

Knowing that Xu Zheng began to serve in the Foundry Bureau in a serious manner, even the Ministry of Rites pulled out the silver for the first quarter of the Foundry Bureau, and it was simply neat and not bad! Xu Qiu'an is not a person who can put sand under his eyes! If there is a fuss, no one can get out as much as him!

Yang Qianjun couldn't close his mouth with joy: It's useful, this kid is so useful! Does Xu Qiu'an, the treasure of the town bureau, have it?!

So when Qiu An politely asked him to point out the ritual chapter of "Da Ming Law", Yang Qianjun naturally knew everything, said everything, and taught him wholeheartedly.

It is different to have a master to teach you to memorize it to death.

Yang Qianjun has his own way of reading. He took the royal weddings and rituals since the founding of the country, the regulations of the sacrifices, the list of utensils, and the details of the expenses, and corresponded to the law, and Joan only found it interesting and not boring to listen to. After a period of time, Qiu An changed his name to Master Yang, which shows his respect for him.

"Master Yang." Xu San went out with Yang Qianjun after getting off duty, "Tomorrow I will wait for the master and wife in the outer building!" ”

Yang Qianjun stuffed him with a dozen rolls that he had sorted out, and said without blushing or panting: "This set of questions can be regarded as a congratulatory gift." ”

Qiu An happily accepted: "Thank you, Master Yang!" "Got on his horse and walked away.

Yang Qianjun's smile faded, and he looked back at Qin Xuan.

"Lord Qin."

Qin Xuan arched his hand, walked side by side with him, and said with a smile: "Recently, Lord Yang's prestige has shocked the court. ”

Yang Qianjun asked in surprise: "How do you say this?" ”

"Tame Xu Qiu'an, everyone regards you as the reincarnation of a Confucian saint."

Yang Qianjun smiled: "Nonsense - how can I have that ability." It was he who had ambitions. ”

Qin Xuan's eyes were as heavy as ink. He learned from the prince that Qiu An wanted to seek the position of imperial history. At first, he laughed it off, but he didn't expect that Xu San was serious.

"Let's keep our stomachs for tomorrow. Go upstairs and try the morning tea! Yang Qianjun was slightly excited. The Duchess of Wei went upstairs and bought his wife's family heirloom side dishes!

The liveliness of the Qinhuai River has always been only at night. Early in the morning on the tenth day of the first month of March, there was a rare rush of traffic. The carriages were taller than the other, and they all stopped in front of the upstairs decorated with flowers and silk. It was amazing to see the pedestrians.

This upstairs looks low-key, I don't know where it came from?

Xu Huizu naturally arrived early. Qiu An frowned and asked, "The British public is still close to Bozhong?" "When his brother got married, Zhang Bozhong was not present, and he didn't show up on his birthday today, so it must be that the British public imprisoned him.

"Uh-huh. Didn't dare to let him out. Bo Zhong has that temperament, it is possible to do anything about abducting people and running away. His father didn't dare take that risk. Xu Huizu inspected the decoration of the tea house and praised: "Not bad." Your new sister-in-law is quite capable! ”

The lobby on the first floor and the private rooms on the second floor are large and small, which can be opened and closed. The third floor is full of private rooms. The decoration is elegant and luxurious, and overall, the style is elegant and tasteful!

When the guests arrived on time, they all looked surprised: Invite them to tea in such a beautiful restaurant?

Xu San has no time to talk nonsense with them. When someone arrived, his task was completed, and after saying hello to the crown prince and grandson, he went to the box of Bai Tang, Qin Jian and Huizu to invite them for credit. Wei Guogong didn't have a problem with him, and it was not good to get angry on his birthday, so he had to greet the guests with Qin Wu.

"Is that okay? Lord's face is big enough! Xu San was so nervous, "Next, it depends on how our dishes are!" ”

Bai Tang and Ah Jian looked at each other and smiled: "Let the kitchen serve the food." ”
