Chapter 174: Birthday Feast (1)
Coming out of the house, that old Qi was already full of gratitude, and an orange-peeled old face seemed to be about to laugh, bowed down and walked in front of Zhao Shi, and when he arrived at the door, he walked slowly, if it weren't for his old arms and legs, and Zhao Shi looked too young, he would probably have to walk with a caress here.
No wonder he was so happy, he thought it was bad, he had stayed in the palace for a while, knowing that if the matter reached the ears of His Royal Highness King Jing, it might not be what it would look like, his old bones were estimated to be unkept, but he didn't think about it, this new old man was really a good person, and he was temporarily appointed as a housekeeper here in just one sentence, so the meaning was naturally clear, the master of the house was satisfied, and even if this matter was revealed, he was naturally grateful in his heart, but he didn't know, The two celebrities in the palace next to him, Li Lao and Steward Dong, were not greatly relieved.
Only then did the two suddenly remember that the origin of this champion in front of them was not high, such a large mansion, placed in the prosperous place of Chang'an, not to mention the ministers in the court, even some royal relatives were dwarfed, although it would take some time to repair. But how can a person from a poor family resist such a temptation, although this person's eyes are red and purple, but the age and background are there, and if there is no joy in the color, it can already be regarded as calm, where is there still a reason for dissatisfaction, so that the two of them think a little too much.
But there are some things they have to do, and how to make this dilapidated looking house look like a little radiant is the one they need to think about now, that is, tonight. The young man in front of him may be a five-grade military attaché, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is an important minister of the imperial court, such a person must match a decent house, which is also a problem of the face of the imperial court, so the things to be done are also more onerous, so Li Lao stayed here, only Zhao Shi and Li Quanshou and Chief Dong returned to the palace.
Although Zhao Shi had a moment of throbbing, he had already recovered his usual state of mind as he walked. In his heart, he secretly said that tonight, that is, tonight, as long as he kills that person, there will be a smooth road in the future. Now, power is getting closer and closer to him, and the alluring aroma is getting stronger and stronger, but most importantly, he is also more and more understanding. Danger is something that will become less and less of a matter as your full strength increases, just like tonight's challenge, and after he becomes the acting commander, nothing like this will ever happen again.
It is an undeniable fact that in the midst of raging storms, towering trees always stand tall. Only those flowers and plants are destroyed at will, ordinary people always think that they are in a high position, and there are more and more dangers that come with it, but they never want to think that when the risk comes, it is always ordinary people who have no power to resist, that is, those low-level officials, who are also up and down involuntarily in the face of strong winds and waves. Only those who hold the power of power really have the power of choice. After following Mr. Chen for these days, although Zhao Shi only vaguely understands this truth. But he has begun to firmly move towards his own path to power.
Returned to the palace, Manager Dong explained a few words and hurriedly went to Princess Jing to restore his life, following Zhao Shi always made him feel depressed, this is based on the scruples of the other party's future identity, or the previous life and death momentary lesson, and have to be cautious in words and deeds brought about by a kind of pressure, this has nothing to do with the spirit of the king, most of the superiors give people the feeling that this is actually the same, so I can't get away from this young man immediately, that is, I don't even have the slightest idea of being close and flattering.
Li Quanshou is looking forward to tomorrow's trip to Caiyufang, tonight's birthday banquet he also has to participate, but this kind of occasion is not a happy thing for a nine-year-old child, etiquette, rules, etc. make him feel bored, but tomorrow to go to Caiyufang is different, since Zhao Shi came to Jingwang's Mansion, he has been in contact with the guards in the mansion more and more frequently, these people are all fierce men, and Daqin has no restrictions on the pleasure of prostitutes, and even some literati use this to boast of being elegant and elegant, What can these people say when they are left alone? Especially seeing that this little prince was very interested, he couldn't wait to take out his intestines and show him, he had to answer his questions, but these people are not stupid people, and they will not talk about things so dirty, they are all described in good places.
In this way, it painted a colorful picture for Li Quanshou, but every time I think about it, it is a hundred times more wonderful than this palace, so when several maids and women and subordinates were sent by Princess Jing to urge him to go back to bathe and change clothes, and prepare to participate in the evening birthday feast, the little prince was holding Zhao Shi's cuffs until Zhao Shi promised him that he would take him tomorrow.
However, Li Quanshou is not the only one who needs to be well prepared, like Zhao Shi and Du Shanhu, both of whom have to participate in tonight's birthday feast, and they have to be thoughtful in their clothing and etiquette, Zhao Shi doesn't know how Du Shanhu is now, but he is surrounded by a group of people to tidy up here, tidy up there, and can't help but have a big head.
Several women in his house have already heard the news, the master has won the martial champion, and he will be awarded an official tonight, such news is enough to smash a few women with low status unconscious, compared to the famous literary test champion in later generations, in addition to those romance novels, the martial champion does not seem to be so valued, but in this era of frequent wars, Daqin's martial champion is also a rare honor, and even sometimes more than the literary champion is valued by the imperial court, especially this martial arts is the emperor's personal trial, only the protégé of the Son of Heaven, It is enough to show its honor.
Four women, no, it can only be said that among the four girls, the most excited is only afraid that they will be red, he used to be just a dancing girl in the palace, and in the past Zhao Shi was still the head of the palace guard, all kinds of jealous or envious eyes have been around, which is very different from his previous treatment in the palace for more than ten years.
And now Zhao Shi has won the martial champion, and it is rumored that he is the future commander of the Yulin Left Guard, this time, it is to send those maids who have a certain status in the palace to surround her side with a smiling face, looking at a common person who may not even glance at her eyes on weekdays, and then she is a reserved look of the palace celebrity, but now she can't wait to laugh at her eyes, she is like falling into a dream.
But when she came back to her senses, she also understood that these people's smiling faces were not for her, but more to let the old man know through her mouth, there are few secrets in the palace, and there are secrets that are also the prince's and Niangniang's, Zhao Shi has obviously not reached that Cheng dù here, she is in Zhao Dutou's house, although what she said is not good, but it is the truth, and even she vaguely heard some ugly words, nothing more than words such as fox charm and bewitching the lord, this thing can't be hidden from the eyes of people with hearts, Some rumors are inevitable in places like the palace.
But now as Zhao Shi may be the closest person in Beijing, the treatment he has received is self-evident, although the scene has made her a little unprepared, but in the palace for so many years, entertainment and the like are still proficient, and although she is a little scheming, but she is really not an ambitious character, she has adapted to the praise of everyone, but she is already secretly warning herself in her heart, you must grasp your mind, the master is a person who does great things, and now he is younger than her, it is conceivable that there will be no fewer women in the future, To be able to fight for a place in the heart of the master, it is a great blessing to live this life in peace and stability in the future, if you can give birth to a son and a half daughter, so that the old man has something to rely on is the right reason, and you must not have a non-share of thoughts, and attract the taboo of the lord.
can have such a sober understanding, but it is also rare among women, so when Zhao Shi returned to his residence, he saw that Xihong led a group of people to say hello to him, and then he commanded in an orderly manner, which made him feel a lot less trouble, but he also looked up to the red in his heart.
Without further ado, when the sun was sinking, the eunuch in the palace finally came to the palace.
"Zhao Shi received the order, and Zhao Shi is brave and unparalleled, a young talent...... Special Jin Wu Champion...... Zhao Zhao Shi entered the palace for a banquet, and the emperor answered correctly...... Chin this. ”
After the decree was announced, the reward money prepared was also offered, but all the chores were handled by the people of the palace, and the dots were not leaked.
After that, Zhao Shi and Du Shanhu followed the smiling and respectful eunuch through the inner city, and went directly to the palace, looking at the palace gate that became clearer and clearer, Zhao Shi was also excited, here, maybe his other, maybe it will also be a road to death, but it all depends on his own efforts, perhaps, this is the ......^-^^-^ he pursued in his previous life
