"No!" I don't know if I didn't hear Zhao Kuangyin's accent clearly, or if I had too much fun, the white-bearded old man actually looked unmoved, waved his sleeves vigorously, and vetoed the proposal of "giving a banquet". Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Your Majesty, it's just a meal!"
"Your Majesty, after the meal, I still want to appreciate Your Majesty's Mobao!"
"Your Majesty, Weichen is hungry!"
......
The tourists were having a good time, but they didn't expect the white-bearded old man to refuse so directly. I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in my heart, and I couldn't care about any more courtiers or not, so I stood up one after another and reminded them babblingly.
"All that is stored in the treasury is the anointment of the people, and it is right to take it from the people and use it for the people. I and Er, how can I be qualified to squander at will?!" The white-bearded old man suddenly picked up the emperor's shelf, looked down, and emphasized in a deep voice. "The kindness you waited for has been received, retreat from the dynasty, and go home!"
After that, he didn't even look at everyone anymore, stood up, and walked away.
"Retreat to the ββ!" the chief eunuch straightened his neck and dragged a long trill.
Behind the "ββ!snort" screen, someone seemed to have accidentally pulled his clothes by the door latch, making a short tearing sound. It's low, and it's gone in an instant.
"This is leaving?!" the tourists, who were dressed as civil and military officials, felt that they had been greatly insulted. The big guy who surrounded the pretending to be the secretary of the ministry was finished, and he did not give up. "It's only been less than half an hour of playing, and it's more than a hundred dollars! You are so good at making money, even if you hold the cane with open fire, you don't have such a fast way to make money!"
"Dare to love the last court for half an hour, which emperor dares to be so lazy? Hurry up and let him come back, Ben Shangshu still has something to do!"
"It was all their civil officials who spoke just now, and it was not our turn to be a general, return the money, return the money!"
"Either let him come back, or return the money!"
"Return the money, return the money ......"
The big guy Wan Yan Sui has also seen the wind and waves, and he didn't stand up to everyone at all, but just smiled and arched his hands and apologized. After grinding the big guys to the point of losing their temper, he pointed to the side room next to him, and continued to add with a smile: "Everyone, everyone is safe." Isn't eating with a deceased monarch to bring about his own bad luck? How boring it is! In this way, in the side hall, there are some calligraphy and paintings, all of which he personally made. I'll give you a 20% discount here, which one you like, you can choose whatever you like. When you go back, you can change hands casually, and you are guaranteed to make ten times the profit!"
"Hmph!
"The calligraphy and painting of the king of the dead country, I will buy it even more unlucky!"
"If you can't do it in the future, Lao Tzu will definitely call the door to get you!"
......
The tourists knew that he must have the support of high-ranking Khitan officials behind him, and they didn't dare to make too much trouble. I heard that there is a discount for calligraphy and painting, so I said a few hard words, and got off the donkey one after another!
When Shi Chonggui was young, he could be regarded as a handsome man with both civil and military skills. After being captured, he was bored in the Jin Wangzhai Village, so the calligraphy and painting he made were quite a bit of everyone's style. It's just that the style is too gray, whether it is words or paintings, behind the pen and ink, there is a sorrow that cannot be dissolved.
Most of the tourists are vendors, they have not read many books, and of course their ability to appreciate calligraphy and painting is very limited. When I saw that the content of the calligraphy was nostalgic for the past and the present, I already had a little dislike. When I saw the scenery in the painting, it was also extremely bleak, and I couldn't raise any desire to collect. Reading that it is possible to make money after these works are handed over, he picked up a few pieces hastily, but forced Wan Yan Sui and his guys to give an extra half a discount when settling the settlement, and then left one after another.
The only big customer who knows the goods is Han Jing, who is dressed as a son-in-law. I saw that every time she took a fancy to a work, she stopped to appreciate it carefully, and looked for the essence and shortcomings of the work, but she didn't ask about the size of the format and the price. After seeing enough, just ask the guy to take it off the wall and "pack" it for himself.
After picking out a dozen works one after another, and seeing that the tourists around her were almost gone, she stretched out with satisfaction and told her to take her to the checkout.
The guys knew that they had met a customer who was not bad for money, and they were overjoyed one by one. The stars held the moon like the moon, invited the four brothers to another room, first ordered someone to serve the top tea soup to the distinguished guests to moisten their throats, and then took out the abacus and paper in a hurry, and summarized and settled the works carefully selected by Han Gongzi.
A total of more than 7,000 Wen is full of Tianzan Tongbao, and after erasing the discount, it is still worth more than 5,000 Wen, which is equivalent to almost exactly five taels of silver. When Han Gongzi saw it, he didn't dwell too much, and directly took out five heavy silver cakes and threw them over, showing the taste of the gentleman in his bones. (Note 1)
When the men saw his bold move, they became more and more respectful, and one by one they were eager to lie on the ground and add the tips of his boots. Han Jing saw that the heat was almost up, so he put the teacup on the corner of the table, and said with a sneer: "These broken things, to be honest, my son didn't look at them at all. It's just that it's rare to come to Liaodong, and it's inconvenient to go back empty-handed, so I barely bought a few emergency items. β
"That's, that's, what is your identity, Son! No matter who you buy, it's all about lifting him!" The big guy saw that Han Jing's eyes were faintly blue, and there was a faint touch of dark gold at the root of his hair, guessing that this person was probably from the Khitan noble family, and he flattered him with all his might.
"It's a pity, it's just that some people don't know how to lift!" Han Jing slapped the table with his hand, the corners of his mouth turned up, and his face was full of sarcasm, "This son wants to have a meal with him, but he dares to push back." Are you afraid that my son will not be able to pay for it? You say, how much will it cost to call the king of the dead country out to have a meal with the four of us? Make a price, and my son will pay for it!"
"......?" I didn't expect Han Gongzi to still remember the matter of eating at the same table with the emperor, and the big guy was holding a teapot in his hand, and his teeth kept biting his cheeks.
The fat sheep boy in front of him, he can't meet one for a whole year, and pushing him out of the door is equivalent to having trouble with "Brother Kong Fang". But no matter how humble Shi Chonggui's status is, he is also a king of the dead country, once this person has a problem, no matter how much money he has, the person who causes trouble will also have a life to earn and spend his life!
"What's the matter? Your shopkeeper, didn't he teach you how to do business? Or do you think that General Yelu has a lot of money and can't afford to make a little money?"
lest the other party not pay enough attention to this sentence, she simply said it in Chinese and Khitan respectively. After hearing this, beads of sweat immediately appeared on his forehead. He put down the teapot, bowed silently, and walked out backwards.
"Jing, fourth, what is he doing, why is he so scared by you?" Zhao Kuangyin looked confused, gently pulled Han Jing's sleeve, and asked in a low voice.
Han Jing quickly looked around and made sure that the guys had all hidden out of the door. Sticking out his tongue, he responded in a very low voice, "I guessed right, a large part of the money they make will be handed over to the Khitan general who is responsible for guarding here, judging from the flag, it should be surnamed Yelu." And the Great Liao State has never paid the army, and it is all up to the generals to take their men to fight the grass valley. This place has been conquered by the Great Liao for many years, and there are no tribes of Jurchens, Murowei and other savages around, how can there be enough grass and valley to fight? Therefore, the money scraped from Uncle Shi is already a very important entry for the leather room army guarding this place. If you can scrape one more article, there is no reason to push the guests outward!"
"Oh!" Zhao Kuangyin suddenly realized, and smiled bitterly, "If they hadn't beaten the grass valley in the Central Plains back then, the people couldn't bear it, and they rose up to resist, they wouldn't have been driven back so quickly! Alas, people say that they will grow wisdom after eating a trench, they are good, and they are unwilling to have a long memory just by suffering losses!"
"You can't say that completely!" Han Jing's face turned slightly red, and he retorted in a low voice, "The Khitan was originally not a big clan in Liaodong, and the Turks, Xi, Mo, and even the Goguryeo people who fled from Maqishui were all stronger than them. It is completely by constantly plundering foreign countries that the men in the tribe have developed the character of being fearless of death. Therefore, the tradition of beating grass valley cannot be discarded for a while!"
"That's the same!" Zhao Kuangyin thought for a while and nodded seriously. "On the Central Plains side, the military salary is sufficient. But except for the commander's tooth soldiers, the soldiers and horses of the other battalions are purely to cope with errands when fighting. Therefore, when encountering the Khitans who went south, they always lost more and won less. β
"That's better than conniving at your subordinates to grab it. Unless you are not prepared to treat the other tribes under your rule as your own people!" Chai Rong, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly interjected faintly. The faces that were much more mature than everyone else were instantly filled with indignation.
Zhao Kuangyin and Han Jing didn't know why he was suddenly so excited, they were stunned, and closed their mouths with a smile. At this moment, the door shaft suddenly "creaked", and Wan Yansui's top boss, Li Zhiyuan, a businessman who had previously led his subordinates to beat gongs and drums all over the street, walked in with a smile on his face.
After getting started, I made a look for the guys. Immediately, he asked in standard Khitan dialect, "This son, please forgive the little old man for being clumsy, I didn't recognize you before! If you want to have a meal with King Jin, it's not non-negotiable." But the little one is just a businessman after all......"
"Oh, it's over!" Han Jing pouted, took out a gold medal of a baby fist from his waist, and slapped it heavily on the table.
"Hissββ!" As soon as he saw the color and texture of the gold medal, Li Zhiyuan, a merchant of the Straw Tree, couldn't help but gasp. When he saw the Khitan characters in the center of the gold medal, he immediately took a few steps back and bowed, "It turns out that Xiao Gongzi is here." The villain is clumsy, the villain is clumsy, I don't know ...... you are Son-in-law?"
"You shouldn't ask, don't ask! I'll ask you, are the four of us qualified to have a meal with the Emperor of the Central Plains?" Han Jing glanced at him, stretched out his hand, and quickly covered the gold medal that everyone had collected from the corpses of the Khitans in the Grass Valley in Yanshan.
"Yes, yes, the little ones are going to be prepared. The little one will order someone to prepare!" Li Zhiyuan, a merchant who was a merchant of the Straw Tree, didn't dare to say more, and arched his hands and agreed.
The Khitan characters on the gold medal are Oguni, and the corresponding identity is a small general. According to the official system of the Northern Court of Liao, the rank of a small general in a tribe is not high. But Oguni's three Khitan characters are not to be underestimated in any case. That is the source of the Khitan queen before the family changed her surname, and she said that he would not dare to provoke a businessman, even if General Yelu Deguang, who was guarding this place, was present in person, I am afraid that he would have to salute three points.
In line with the principle of not causing disaster to himself, Li Zhiyuan, a merchant of Motar, immediately sent someone to prepare the "imperial banquet". As for the attitude of Shi Chonggui, the nominal owner of this meal, he didn't have the time to ask at all.
After a while, the food and drinks are ready to stop. His Majesty the Emperor "had a decree" and invited everyone to the garden to take their seats. Li Zhiyuan, a merchant of Mota, was afraid that Shi Zhonggui would offend the guests by playing a trick, so he personally led everyone to the back garden. He carefully toasted the guests with a few glasses of wine, and then ordered Shi Chonggui to serve him, and he bowed down and retired.
"What kind of smell? It's so embarrassing!" Chai Rong watched him leave, then twitched his nose a few times, and his eyes swept back and forth over the eunuch who was holding the lamp for everyone at the table.
"Let's, our family ......" Several eunuchs were so angry that their faces were bruised, staring at the white-bearded old man Shi Zhonggui, praying for the master to administer justice for him.
Who would have thought that Shi Chonggui was completely convinced, smiled helplessly, and waved his hand lightly, "A few of you go down, change a few palace maids over." Even though we're getting older, I can't mean that I deliberately treat the guests slowly!"
"Yes!" the eunuchs saluted with red eyes, put down the flask, and staggered away.
In the blink of an eye, on the wine table, only the four siblings and Shi Chonggui were left. The atmosphere immediately became extremely eerie. Chai Rong, Zhao Kuangyin and Han Jing tacitly handed over the power to speak to Ning Ziming. But Ning Ziming just raised his head and looked at his legendary father in a daze, with a thousand words, not knowing how to speak.
Along the way, when he couldn't sleep, he once depicted the appearance of Shi Chonggui countless times in his heart. or burly and majestic, or Yushu Linfeng, although he has become the king of the dead country, he is still heroic and iron-clad. But he never expected that Shi Chonggui's true appearance was a bad old man with no face and no skin. In order to survive, he did not hesitate to wagging his tail and begging for mercy to everyone he saw every day like a play.
When he couldn't sleep along the way, he also warned himself countless times in his heart that after seeing Shi Chonggui, he should not lose his temper no matter what, no matter what, he must pretend to be a rich and noble son with a good life and no shortage of food and clothing. Let Shi Chonggui rest assured, give Shi Chonggui confidence. Let the father not worry about his son, and let the father know that the son has not forgotten him, and one day he will find a way to save him from the sea of suffering.
However, all the preparations were shattered the moment he saw Shi Chonggui pretending to be crazy and stupid in front of tourists. This is not the heroic hero he imagined who would rather die than be his grandson! Nor is it the mighty and unyielding father he imagined, a poor and unswerving father! This is an ordinary person, a bad old man who gave up everything in order to survive! But the real age of this bad old man is less than 40 years old, but the feeling that this bad old man gives him is indeed connected by blood!
"Erbao, you shouldn't have come!" It was Shi Chonggui himself who broke the silence. "I recognized you at first sight today, but, I never thought that you were still alive!"
Note 1: Tianzan Tongbao, cast by Yelu Abaoji around 922. Because of the eagerness to show the national strength, the materials are quite particular and the amount is sufficient. The complete five-loss Tianzan Tongbao weighs about 4.9 grams each, which is comparable to the Kaiyuan Tongbao of the Xuanzong era with the best texture.
Note 2: The Khitan characters were created around 920 A.D. by Yelu Abaoji with reference to Chinese characters. But what made Yelu Abaoji very depressed was that this word could only be used as an official text. On folk occasions, most of the Khitans, including most of the royal family and descendants, are proud to learn Chinese and write Chinese characters.
