Chapter 119: Surprised
Seeing Zhao Shi and Li Lao coming in, Qi Ziping immediately stopped, picked up a handkerchief from the person who was waiting next to him and wiped his face, and then quickly greeted him, "Old Li, the virtuous brother got up so early, I still think here that I have to wait for some time before you can come over, quick, please inside, come here, come to tea." ”
Old Li had already turned his face at this time, and his voice came up, and he laughed and said, "I said Ziping, how can you practice these five poultry plays?" How about apprenticeship with me? I also have a set of swordsmanship here, and I show the true character of a famous man with a piano and a sword. ”
While letting the two of them into the house, Qi Ziping said with a smile: "I am entangled in mundane things here, but I can't learn the demeanor of Qinglian monks." Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at Zhao Shi and said: "The first time the virtuous brother came to the door, I know that the virtuous brother is good wine, I still have a jar of reed burning here, the real one is as fierce as fire, the entrance is like a knife, some time ago the prince rewarded, I thought it was too strong, so I hid it, I think the virtuous brother should like it, let's taste it together." ”
"We're not here to beg for a drink, but since you've said it, wouldn't we be sorry for your hospitality if we don't taste it? But with such good wine, you can't be sloppy with your meals......"
Hearing him say this, Qi Ziping suddenly appeared, shook his head and smiled: "I said, it turns out that Li Lao is worried about Neizi's craftsmanship again, Cheng, but you have to wait, I'm afraid that Neizi hasn't done it for a long time, and some hands are ......."
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, no matter how bad the burn is, it's better than the ......one in my house."
While laughing, several people had already entered the outer hall, and the guests and hosts were seated, and the next person immediately sent fragrant tea. Qi Ziping was a little thirsty, and immediately took a sip, but when he saw that Zhao Shi didn't move, he couldn't help but laugh, Li Lao was holding the tea bowl and was about to enter it, listening to his laughter, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then saw Zhao Shi's appearance. I couldn't help but laugh.
"Now Xiaoyou's reputation in this Jingwang Mansion has spread, just a sentence of tea is not as good as wine, it is estimated that many people who are good at wine can be regarded as confidants, and if it is passed around, it may become a good story."
Zhao Shi shook his head, "Literati are good tea, martial artists are good wine, there is nothing to say, I heard people say it in the barracks." Drinking alcohol after the battle can stimulate the body's anger the most, if you drink it with the blood and water on the battlefield, it can not only prolong life, but also ward off all evils. ”
As soon as I heard what he said. Old Li's face is dark, what's the matter with this kid, isn't it the one who has a heart? How to say it well, just blood. People lead the head, this morning, still let people eat?
Qi Ziping was already accustomed to Zhao Shi's way of speaking, but he also felt that he shouldn't take out the treasured good wine, but when he heard this, his stomach was a little uncomfortable, and he didn't drink the tea, so he stood up and said, "I'll go and inform Neizi, let her prepare immediately." Hold on. ”
This time, Zhao Shi didn't just want to disgust them, these words still came from that Li Feidi's mouth, but he didn't say the slightest lie.
After a while, Qi Ziping turned back, and saw Li Lao's bitter gourd face, which was not at all as hearty as before, and he couldn't help but smile in his heart, Li Lao's popularity in the house has always been good. I don't put up any stand for anyone. It's an old man in the house again, and whoever sees it has to give up three points. And he also read a book, even with the staff can talk about going together, to the first time I saw him look like he seemed to have eaten a few taels of coptis, but at the beginning he and Wang Hu had tasted it, even if it was the prince, when he was in Gongyi County, the number of wry smiles was not necessarily less, at this time, it seems that there is nothing unusual.
Although he smiled secretly in his heart, he didn't want to touch Li Laodi's head, and looked at Zhao Shi and said: "The prince went to the Yang Mansion this morning, but before leaving, he also said that the virtuous brother is temporarily in charge of the guards in the mansion, with Wang Hu and Du Shanhu as your deputies, and then let Wang Hu introduce you to the guards in the mansion."
and those soldiers under your command, they are also temporarily incorporated into the palace guards, but the virtuous brother has to take care of them, this Chang'an is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and it is difficult to clean up the trouble. ”
Seeing Zhao Shi nodded, he continued: "Another one is the matter of the little prince, it is estimated that he will be able to come back from the palace in the next two days, the prince said the ground, let you discipline and discipline the little prince well, the mother and the prince will not interfere, let you rest assured, but the virtuous brother...... I have to tell you a word for my brother here, in the end, the identity is wild, even if there is something wrong with the little prince, you can say whatever you want, but there is one, you can't hurt the little prince......"
When he said this, he couldn't go any further, in fact, he had already counted himself as benevolent and righteous, after all, he couldn't directly say what the prince said, you can only listen to three points, and the remaining seven points are your own words, but seeing Zhao Shi's expression didn't move, he also sighed in his heart, everyone has their own fate, and they can't ask for it, but the young man in front of him is not a stupid person, I believe that he has understood what he means, as for whether Zhao Shi can do what he wants, he is not sure at all.
"What the prince means, you have been walking around Chang'an City in the past two days, and the errands in the house are not in a hurry, there is no major event here, but there are a lot of trivial matters, so I can't accompany you to roam Chang'an, but with Li Lao to accompany you, I believe that it can also make the virtuous brother happy, and the four maids are still satisfied?
These are people who have just entered the house, Niangniang personally picked, the prince and Niangniang are very important to the virtuous brother, the virtuous brother must have a number in his heart, but he can't let the prince and Niangniang down to ....... ”
He is eloquent here, such as to his brothers and nephews, his tone is calm and sincere, and he is not pretentious, it sounds comfortable to the heart, Zhao Shi knows that this person is very honest, and he has told him something after he was drunk, everything is true, less talk and more action, it is the right way of a gentleman, this person has never been a bully since Zhao Shi saw him, he has indeed never spoken or deceived people, he has spoken and done his duty tightly, and he can be described as a person who walks in the body.
This earnest admonition is much better than Li Laofang's pretending to be bold.
After almost half an hour, the wine and food have been prepared, the table is set up on the main hall, the three of them sit together, and a subordinate carries a wine jar in, the outside of the wine jar is mottled, it is obvious that it has been some years, Qi Ziping smiled and patted the mud seal, and immediately a rich aroma of wine wafted in the house, Li Lao shrugged his nose and shouted: "Sure enough, it is good wine." ”
Qi Ziping asked his subordinates to pour the wine into the wine jug, and said with a smile: "This wine has been in the hands of the prince for some years, and it has been hidden here for two years, and I have tasted a glass of land, but the wine is too strong and not to my taste."
I drank this kind of liquor in the morning, I am afraid that it is not in line with the way of health preservation, but I drank a lot of wine from the virtuous brother in Gongyi County, if I came here, there was no decent wine to entertain, and I would not be laughed at by the virtuous brother?
Elder Li, I can listen to what your family said, you have a headache these days, and the doctor said that it is not appropriate to drink, you see ......"
"Don't listen to that kid's nonsense, the old man has lived for such a long time, how many days can he think about it? Such a good wine is in front of you, but you can't drink it, you might as well not take it out, come, pour it quickly, and be happy in time is real. ”
Seeing him like this, Qi Ziping also shook his head and smiled, and poured the two of them in turn, the pale yellow wine looked very attractive, and then Qi Ziping raised his glass and said: "The wine is a thousand glasses of confidants, come, let's make this cup." ”
As soon as the wine was in his mouth, Zhao Shi already knew that this wine was indeed much higher than the degree he had drunk before, but according to the height of the later generations, the wine was still much worse, the wine went down his throat, and after a slight sting, a hot breath came up from his stomach, which lifted his spirits.
Li Laoha took a sip of wine, picked up chopsticks and picked out a piece of melon slice into his mouth, "Good wine with delicious food, it's rare to enjoy." ”
Zhao Shi became determined not to let this old man feel better today, and then said: "Does Old Li know how to go to the palace of Lord Shi Zhou?" ”
Before the melon slice in Li Lao's mouth could be swallowed, he almost didn't choke when he asked, so he quickly picked up the teacup and drank a sip of water, and then said angrily: "Why are you asking this?" ”
"My eldest brother entered the curtain at Lord Zhou's mansion, and he doesn't know the news that I came to Chang'an, anyway, there is nothing to do now, I have to go and see him."
"Your big brother?" Qi Ziping was surprised, he had been in Gongyi County for so long, and he hadn't heard that he had a big brother, so he had already thought that he was probably not a relative, but he could enter the scene in the palace of Shi Zhoulu, and he didn't think that anyone could do it, but he didn't expect him to have such a relative, and he was strict enough.
Zhao Shi nodded, "Well, my cousin, his name is Zhang Shijie, Zhang Shiwen, the salt supervisor in the county, is my third brother, he has been studying abroad since he was a child, and I haven't seen him a few times. ”^-^^-^
