Chapter One Hundred and Six: The Temptation of the Dinner Party
Ye Fu and his entourage have been set off for half a month, and after leaving Yujing City, they arrived at the boundary of Luzi County.
Adhering to the belief of touring the mountains and rivers, Ye Fu can rest on the way, and is to arrange a first-class hotel to live. Occasionally, I will make do at the post station.
has passed by a few small counties, Ye Fu is faintly skipped, indifferent attitude so that those magistrates are frightened, do not dare to have problems in the reception.
Question, Ye Fu smiled and glanced at the large stack of small books he was carrying.
is about to enter Yancheng, the center of Luzi County, Ye Fu and Fu Di temporarily lived outside the city, and sent someone to the county guard to go to Guanwen.
Ye Fu was resting after dinner, holding a book to read. Fu Di walked outside the door or knocked on the door to come in, wringed his hands, and asked timidly: "Why didn't Xiangye bring the stinging guards and brought the small one?" Along the way, I watched Xiangye sort out his official business, and I worked hard, but I couldn't help anything. ”
Ye Fu raised his head from the book, smiled, and said: "Fudi is a good driver, I have been in the carriage for so long, and I have not been uncomfortable once, and I will not be stunned." ”
"That's right, too." Fu Di touched his head, raised his eyebrows and smirked, "Xiao is finally a little useful." ”
"Of course."
"Xiangye took one with him when he went out, wouldn't it be too dangerous?"
"It's okay." Ye Fu took out the map on the side and spread it out, and pointed out a road in the cyan brown, the valley crisscrossed the place, "The first two counties are not much of a problem, mainly the back, the farther away from Yujing City, the greater the trouble." But you don't have to worry, when the time comes, Yu Fuyin will send someone to pick him up, and you, follow his people back to the capital. ”
"Xiangye! Small, small! Fu Di was so anxious that he cried out, and knelt on the ground with a plop, "The little one is not greedy for life and afraid of death!" ”
Ye Fu left the book and pulled Fudi's arm, frowned and said, "Who said that you are greedy for life and afraid of death?" You just have to follow the arrangement. ”
Seeing this, Fudi sighed slightly.
Xiangye is always well-planned, and he is too talkative.
"That Fudi doesn't disturb Xiangye's rest, waits in a room next to him, and Xiangye calls me if he has something."
"Well, you don't have to call me Xiangye outside in the future." Ye Fu waved his hand, looked at the back of Fudi going out, shook his head, and picked up the book again.
I don't know why my ideological consciousness is so high, because I failed to develop morally, intellectually, physically, aesthetically, and laboriously before, and now I want to read books whenever I have time, and I don't look at it! Ye Fu no one is convinced of himself.
Turning over the cover of the simple and elegant page, someone is actually making up for the county town that is about to arrive: Yancheng in Luzi County.
The next day, Fu Di drove a carriage under the ancient city wall and entered the inner city, where a team of men and horses came to meet him and went to the county guard's mansion.
"My lord, don't we need a private interview with Weifu? It is said that such a secret investigation can know more. ”
"Do you know what rumors are there in Luozi County?"
"What?"
"Every inch of land is golden, and Zi County, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Moon Kaoru. Kaoru Mochizuki is the Kaoru City of Mochizuki County, and Yancheng of Luozi County is rich and rich. So we have to reach out to the wealthy at the top as much as possible to see more valuable things. ”
"Oh!"
Ye Fu was very satisfied to see Fudi's surprised appearance, smiled lightly, and looked at the rumored "inch of land" boundary.
Yancheng in autumn is not less hot, pedestrians on the street are still in thin shirts, and there is no curiosity when they see the battle of Ye Fu and his party, and they are still wandering around after glancing twice.
At the end of the street, a few people sat outside, suspected of playing dice, shouting five and six, and looking up at a gambling house, the Hessian store was smoky, and the smell of alcohol was smelling when passing by.
The streets and houses in the inner city are neatly arranged, with green tiles and flying green walls, and the red walls are full of branches, which is much more magnificent than the previous small cities and counties.
Ye Fu, who could see it, saw it, and soon arrived at the private house of the county guard.
Just as I was wondering why I didn't go to the yamen, an old man came out of the mansion.
The county guard met Ye Fu in a rigorous official robe, and his head shook when he spoke, and the long beard at the chin was swept on the collar.
"Xiaguan Ji Cheng, see the envoy."
Ye Fu raised his hand: "No need to be polite." ”
"Envoy take a seat!" Ji Cheng led Ye Fu to talk about people's livelihood in the main hall and discuss inspection matters.
Most of the words are Ye Fu is saying, and Ji Cheng should be harmonious. Suddenly met such a good talking magistrate, Ye Fu was surprised.
Ji Cheng said, what firewood, rice, oil, salt, gold, silver, iron and copper can be checked, and by the way, he brought Ye Fu a bunch of keys, as well as a few thick account books.
Mundane things and surprises came too suddenly, Ye Fu planned to have a meal and press.
Ji Cheng was sensible, and after seeing Ye Fu's tired appearance, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and the dinner was booked like this.
Ye Fu temporarily lived in the courtyard arranged by Ji Cheng, and Fudi sorted out.
"How did Fu Di feel after entering Yancheng?"
"Hmm...... It's casual. ”
"How?"
"Harmony, there is no small fight, there are a lot of people on the street, most of the people are having fun, they are not very fortified, and I have seen several people pay a gold ingot in the restaurant."
"Probably rich." Ye Fu glanced at the thick stack of ledgers.
"Childe is going to the banquet in a while, but he can't lose the battle!" Saying that, Fu Di went to turn out Ye Fu's shining splendid dress, "This is a new dress specially made for you by the stinging guard!" ”
Ye Fu glanced at a little flash clothes, which is two-layered, the inside is a snow-white shirt, covered with azure brocade, embroidered with complex rich flowers in the world, elegant and beautiful, a collision has become a stunning color.
"Ugh." Ye Fu still misses being the prime minister, the last dynasty has official uniforms, the lower dynasty is the palace system, several sets of prime minister's clothes throughout the year, do not have to worry about wearing.
Now, you still need to use this shiny and shiny shirt to support the scene.
In other words, he has no quality as a "Qin envoy"? I didn't even get an official uniform!
Ye Fu pushed the clothes that Fu Di took out, and said with a little anger: "Let's keep a low profile." ”
"Oh."
"However, you also need to be appropriately high-profile, see if there are any things that can be worn by those things given by adults, and pick up two for me."
"Good!" With the air and solemnity of counting the treasury, Fudi went to reverse the carriage.
The two of them picked up and followed the people sent by the county guard to the place of the dinner.
If the most elegant dining place in the capital is Yunshui, the most brilliant entertainment place is the drunken pavilion, then Ye Fu is in the place at the moment has the characteristics of the first two.
Ye Fu Leng at the door of the "kiln" Mingmei Fang, not in, not in. She really didn't expect that Ji Junshou, who looked serious, would arrange the reception banquet in **.
Ye Fu heard the pleasant silk bamboo coming out of it, and sighed: Are rich people so good at playing?
A few flower-like girls pounced in front of Ye Fu under Ji Cheng's instructions, took a certain Ye's little hand through the lobby that seemed to be obscene and went to the private room on the second floor.
I thought that the private room would be much quieter, not so flashy, but after entering the door, Ye Fu realized that he was very wrong.
There was a table full of people sitting in front of him, talking and laughing like giants meeting.
Ji Cheng came in, took Ye Fu to the upper seat, and then sat next to him.
Ye Fu was stunned, and was attracted by a pleasant and bright female voice: "I have heard the name of the prime minister for a long time, and I finally saw it today." ”
Ye Fu looked over, and the bright woman smiled and raised her glass and walked towards her, as if she smiled angrily: "The prime minister forgot me?" ”
"I've lived in the capital for a long time, but I'm ...... to this aunt Madame is not very familiar. ”
Ye Fu raised his eyes, and his gaze fell on the elegant and generous woman in front of him.
Said to be a woman, Ye Fu is also judged according to her woman's bun, if you look at the skin like condensed, full of charm of the face, it seems deceitful.
The woman smiled, and the diagonal golden phoenix on both sides of her hair swayed and swayed, and in the middle was a delicate and dazzling hairpin, which did not look like a nouveau riche in the black hair, but was a dazzling embellishment.
"The prime minister and nobleman forget things." The woman spoke, then rolled up her sleeves and poured a glass of wine and handed it to Ye Fu, "When the palace is not married, I often go to Taixue to find you and my eldest brother!" ”
"Second princess?"
Ye Fu maintained a smiling appearance, mechanically drank the wine, and quickly recalled some information in his mind.
Second Princess Grand Hyatt......
There is no information.
just knew that she got married a few years ago, and the emperor also favored her, and it seemed that the two met later. The stunned did not specifically point out this person, and Ye Fu was not very impressed.
You can only take one step at a time.
"I have such a bad memory, I didn't even see that it was Her Royal Highness the Princess, I punished myself with three cups, and I asked the princess to forgive me."
Jun Yue Yingying smiled, didn't say much, everyone sang and made a noise for her to pour wine.
Ye Fu didn't push it, three glasses of wine down.
After three rounds of drinking, Ye Fu realized that the person at the dinner table was the treasury of Yancheng.
In addition to the salt and iron business in the hands of Ji Cheng, the rest of the silk grain, goods transportation, the most prosperous gambling house in the city, the most popular restaurant, the most popular "kiln" are all these people tinkering.
Ye Fu looked around, not to mention that all of them were ugly with fat heads and big ears, at least half of them were old-fashioned and ugly......
In addition to Ji Cheng and Junyue, there is also a young man who makes wine a little more thoughtfully, and Ye Fu is simply an elegant and noble white crane sitting in it.
And at this moment, the "big white goose" who drank high and stood up to speak, looked at Ye Fu and said: "I said you kid, what are you doing just sitting, come and pour wine for the master!" ”
Ye Fu's eyebrows furrowed.
I've been traversing for so long, and I've never seen someone like this. Ye Fu couldn't help but look at the past with stingy eyes, the eyes were golden clothes wrapped in a body full of flesh, wine and rice spilled out in front of him, crooked mouth and squinted eyes like a smile but hung with wine residues.
I have to say that this is really the standard configuration of the nouveau riche in the impression.
Ye Fu glanced at Ji Cheng, who was silent with low eyebrows on the side, got up and brushed his sleeves, and said, "Are you sure I want to pour you wine?" ”
"If you want to pour wine, pour wine, where do you have so many words!" The man roared.
Ye Fu smiled, left his seat with a curved mouth wine jug, and walked in front of the person.
Everyone seemed to be ready to watch a good show, so they all stopped their business and looked over.
Ye Fu walked in front of the man, took the wine glass he stretched out and poured eight points full of wine, handed it over and asked, "What kind of business does this old man have at home?" ”
"Restaurant!"
"No wonder."
"What's the wonder?" The man drank violently, glared at Ye Fu and asked, "Say!" ”
"No wonder you look so convincing." Full of overnutrition.
"Hahaha! He Laosan! ”
The people on the side are very familiar, and they laughed after listening to Ye Fu's ridicule.
He Laosan seemed to be displeased, blew his non-existent beard, threw the wine glass angrily, and grabbed Ye Fu's white sleeve: "Okay, you don't know what to do, you dare to laugh at Uncle Ben!" ”
Ye Fu was obviously displeased, reached out and pulled back his sleeve, and directly threw He Laosan under the stool and slammed his butt.
He Laosan was stunned, and he had to struggle to get up and beat Ye Fu.
"Eh, Master He, I said what are you angry with a young man?"
Ye Fu glanced at the few people present, and then looked at Junyue, who got up to appease He Laosan: "Forgive me for being clumsy, I really don't see any sincerity in this dinner." ”
Then Ye Fu turned to look at the screen behind a group of prostitutes, "Since I came to Yancheng, I will always see the true face of Lushan." ”
When the words fell, I heard He Laosan scolding.
"Fuck! A prime minister who has no power, no power, and is so arrogant with Lao Tzu! ”
Ye Fu heard the words and brushed his sleeves away.
Ji Cheng saw that the situation was not suitable for sitting and eating, so he found an excuse to leave, and the young man who was making wine on the side also made an excuse to slip away, and left with Ji Chengyou and laughing.
Everyone left, Junyue put away the smile, raised his hand, and the people singing and dancing in the room also silently retreated.
Silence spreads in luxury.
"Humph!"
"You know, that kid can drink refreshingly, so just get some medicine in it." A few people came out from behind the screen, dressed in noble and luxurious clothes, but they were not as rich as the few who were sitting.
The man at the front had a pair of beautiful eyebrows, crooked, and a little smile in his words: "The prime minister's temper is still so weird." Second princess, what do you say? ”
Jun Yue's brows furrowed, a killing intent appeared on her bright and bewitching face, and she threw a dagger from her hand and threw it on the table: "Give Bengong a reason to keep him from killing." ”
The man raised his hand, and before everyone's sense of smell could react, he was invaded by a burst of medicinal incense, and his body softened and slowly fell on the dinner table, and the man turned around, his face was covered with hideous scars, but it did not affect his elegance, the man looked at Junyue, bent his eyebrows and hooked his lips and said: "The person you ambushed outside the city was not killed by me, but I hid the past for you." The emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and he was the head of the hundred officials in the court a few months ago, how could you be assassinated so easily? Don't forget, she just slaughtered Helan Quan before she left the city. ”
"So what? Helan Quan's temptation and sacrifice can also be regarded as beneficial. If we don't take advantage of her loss of momentum now, when will we wait? ”
"What are you in a hurry, do you think she came to Yancheng and can still go out?"
The man looked at the few people who were still awake behind him, and they all smiled: "After all, we all want to live a long life and be rich." ”
"Then why are you showing her all these pretenses?"
When someone came to tidy up the private room with a table, the smell of wine and wealth disappeared, and the atmosphere of conspiracy was permeated.
The man said quietly: "That is, to test what level of treatment our opponent is worthy, it seems that the prime minister has discovered us." ”
Several people nodded, and couldn't help but deepen the curvature of the corners of their mouths.
