Chapter 183: Pulling and Talking
In fact, in the final analysis, it is just the two of them, and there is really no need to be too restrained like in the palace. It's just that only Xie Tianrui seems to think so.
He replied with a smile: "Whatever General Tang said, these dishes are very good." It seems that your tastes are still very similar to that of this king and the general! I'm also meatless! Now when I see this table full of meat dishes, it's too late to be happy. ”
"Hahaha...... So much better! Then you're welcome, please! Tang Feng said heartily.
The two of them began to eat, and after they were almost used, Xie Tianrui began to talk about the topic without a trace.
"By the way, General Tang, do you know that the emperor recently asked the king to be responsible for counting the grain and grass and transporting it to the front line, I don't know how the battle situation is on the front line now?"
Tang Feng didn't expect Xie Tianrui to suddenly ask this question, but he also knew that the emperor had let the little county king be in charge of this matter, as the saying goes, when the war starts, the grain and grass go first. The position of grain and grass in a war is not ordinarily important, and knowing what the situation is at the front line is also beneficial for the transportation of grain and grass.
He thought about it, put down his chopsticks, and said seriously: "Now, the surrounding countries have long been scared, and they dare not attack for the time being. But I'm a big land, and I'm a big populace, like a piece of fat. They don't give up easily, so they still come to harass them from time to time, trying to test them, give them a little chance, and they may want to tear a piece of flesh off our body. ”
In fact, Xie Tianrui didn't know about these situations, he just wanted to find an excuse and topic, so that he could smoothly mention the following things. After all, the excuse he made at the beginning was because of business, and after the business was discussed, he could mention personal matters "by the way", wasn't it?
"It's good that there is no fighting, and the people around are the people around who are most affected by the war. The general can rest assured that the grain and grass will be delivered to the border at the specified time and on time, and our soldiers will not be starved. ”
Tang Feng said disdainfully in his tone: "That's what I said, but the light will disgust people, and the harassment from time to time is really annoying." Of course, it is best for the grain and grass to arrive on time, after all, the people take food as the sky, and if they don't eat for a day, there will be a big mess, and everything can wait, but this one can't wait. ”
"What the general said is very true, and this king also thinks so, so he has already instructed the people below." Xie Tianrui said solemnly.
......
After this topic was over, Xie Tianrui continued to talk about it on another topic, but after several topics in a row, none of the topics could be involved in Tang Yining, which made Xie Tianrui feel very frustrated.
However, it is not completely fruitless, no matter what, Tang Feng has been able to stand in the court for so many years, and he still has some real skills. For example, although the court does not participate in large and small things, it can be seen very clearly.
On the premise of not involving standing in line, Tang Feng thought that there was nothing that could not be said or shared with Xie Tianrui, so in Xie Tianrui's question, he gave Xie Tianrui a lot of his own thoughts.
Let Xie Tianrui have a different view of Tang Feng, frankly speaking, Tang Feng is also in the handling of the inner house, which really makes Xie Tianrui a little disdainful, but it is undeniable that Tang Feng has different views in military and politics.
However, although Tang Feng and Xie Tianrui seemed to communicate very smoothly, but for some reason, Tang Feng intuitively felt that Xie Tianrui should have something to say yet, and what Xie Tianrui really wanted to say was not what he just mentioned. It's just that since Xie Tianrui has been holding back and not saying anything, there must be a reason, and he doesn't have to expose Xie Tianrui.
Make up your mind and just go with the flow. After all, what should be said, will still be said. Maybe Xie Tianrui was just looking for a time that he thought would be more suitable? Who knows!
Thinking of this, Tang Feng raised his wine glass and took a sip of wine, his arm covering his current expression. Anyway, as long as Xie Tianrui didn't say anything about leaving, Tang Feng didn't think about opening his mouth to drive people away.
There is always a time to eat when you are full, and it is not a matter to sit at the dinner table all the time and talk. Near the end, Tang Feng stood up and inadvertently gave Xie Tianrui a chance.
"Little Junwang, I wonder if you are satisfied with today's lunch?"
"The general's hospitality, this king naturally felt at home. I really want to thank the general for his hospitality today, and answer questions for this king so carefully. Xie Tianrui said, and then stood up.
"If the little county king has nothing else to do, why don't you go to the small garden and take a walk together to eat while taking a look at the scenery of the General's Mansion? It's just that the General's Mansion may not be as magnificent and domineering as Prince Gong's Mansion, please forgive me! Tang Feng invited.
Xie Tianrui has been waiting for this opportunity, he originally came with a purpose, and he hasn't started yet! How could it be just like that?
"Haha, this king is disrespectful. The general is still polite, the scenery inside the house still depends on the master who lives inside. Different masters have different designs and dresses, and naturally there will be different scenery, so why should General Tang be humble. ”
Xie Tianrui originally wanted to be a vassal and elegant, such as "The Burrow", but when he thought that Tang Feng was actually a rough man, he shouldn't be very interested in this time, so he didn't say much.
However, the two of them are indeed a little overwhelmed, and it is not good to talk about things at the dinner table. If you talk too much, you will be thirsty, and if you are thirsty, you can only drink, and when you drink, you will easily have a stomach.
Now Xie Tianrui feels that his stomach is full of water, and when he stands up, he still feels the water in his stomach swaying. Tang Yining, Tang Yining, for you, it is not easy for him.
You must know that even if he is staring at the name of the gentleman, but when he really goes out to eat, which one is not to give him a few thin noodles, and where to dare to pour him wine. Besides, he usually goes out relatively cold, like this time at the dinner table, if he didn't want to bring out the topic he wanted, he wouldn't have said so much.
Seriously, it's really rare for him to rack his brains to say such things!
Tang Feng called the housekeeper, and after arranging the matter, he smiled at Xie Tianrui and said, "Little County King, please!" ”
"Please!"
After that, Tang Feng took Xie Tianrui to the back garden for a walk. In order to prevent the people in the back house from colliding with Xie Tianrui, Tang Feng just called the housekeeper to arrange it.
The back garden of the General's Mansion, to be honest, is actually very decent, there is nothing particularly outstanding, and it will not be too rude, but Xie Tianrui said with a sigh: "General Tang has a terrifying reputation on the battlefield, but this General's Mansion is quite elegant." ”
"Haha! Is it? General Ben didn't feel anything, these trivial matters were handled by insiders. ”
Tang Feng actually admired scholars, and thought that back then, he also had a dream of being the champion. You know, if there is a champion in the family, it is really a matter of glory to the ancestors.
If not, he really wouldn't be the material for reading. Later, although he also became a champion, it was a pity that he was a martial champion. However, no matter what, he is still a champion.
Therefore, in order to satisfy a little caution here, when building the mansion, I specially instructed the people below to plant a lot of flowers and trees in the general's mansion, and also made a small lake and a rockery, and made a vassal elegance.
When Zhou's was taking care of the feed, Tang Feng also specially told him that he must clean it up well. Therefore, looking at it now, the back garden of this general's mansion is a bit of an artistic conception of mountains and flowing water.
Xie Tianrui's words hit the itchy flesh in Tang Feng's heart, the whole person was very comfortable, and his expression softened a little.
"What the general said is already very good, and it has a bit of artistic conception." Xie Tianrui really spared no effort to praise, and it could be seen from Tang Feng's expression that Tang Feng listened to what he said very well.
Although it is said that loyalty is good for deeds, even if many people know and understand this truth, they still like to listen to some words that are pleasing to the ear, even if they know that these words are not true. Listen, it's really soothing.
Tang Feng actually guessed in his heart at the beginning that Xie Tianrui might have come here just to see Tang Yining? Since there is nothing that makes him dislike between words and conversations, and it makes him listen to it quite pleasantly, it is not impossible to make it convenient.
Thinking of this, he instantly turned his feet and took Xie Tianrui close to the location of the back house. As for whether they can see each other, it depends on the luck of the two!
Maybe it's providence! Xiao Cui saw that the sun was just right today, and her young lady had been in the room for many days and had not come out. If you continue to stay like this, maybe something will go wrong.
He dragged Tang Yining out, saying that he was going out for a walk, distracting his mind, opening up his thoughts, relaxing his mood and breathing fresh air by the way. In short, it's a matter of counting in one fell swoop.
Moreover, now that the eldest lady Tang Jingwen is not in the mansion but in the third prince's mansion, she doesn't have to worry that her young lady will let her out because of someone, which will become an annoying thing.
Tang Yining agreed under Xiaocui's soft grinding and hard bubbles. Then she casually dressed her up, but her eyes were still glued to the jewelry on the table, and she was reluctant to leave.
Xiao Cui saw that her young lady had no intention of dressing up, so she decided to change her young lady into a bright red dress today! This color is rarely worn by his young lady, but it actually matches her young lady very well. It's just that because she has to put on a little thicker makeup, Miss is troublesome, so she rarely wears it.
But she's in a good mood today, and Miss doesn't care about it, so it shouldn't matter if she dresses up for Miss, right? Xiao Cui couldn't hold back and smiled secretly.
