The 232nd time came to apologize
Han Changwan smiled awkwardly and let Chen Xian pull him into Honglu Temple.
On the floor of the main hall are neatly placed six half-person-high Nanmu boxes.
Chen Xian was born with a smiling face, he didn't smile or talk to anyone, he entered Honglu Temple at the age of eighteen or nineteen, and he stayed up for ten years.
He said with a wry smile: "Young Envoy Han, look at how these gifts are." ”
Han Changdui opened the lid of the box in turn, and the six boxes were full of gold, silver, jade, porcelain and silk rulers, all of which were official treasures, and this gift was not insignificant.
"Chen Shaoqing, this gift is too heavy." Han Changdui picked up a wrong gin jug, looked at it for a while, and said lightly.
Isn't it heavy, this ritual continues to empty the treasury of Honglu Temple, and let the saint cut the flesh.
Chen Xian sighed, of course the gift should be what he likes, in the past ten years, he has dealt with a lot of Tubo people, the preferences of Tubo people have nothing to do with plain elegance and elegance, they like extravagance, the more gorgeous and expensive the more they can show their identity and style.
He covered the box, sealed it, and said in a deep voice: "That's all, it may not fill the appetite of those Tibetan people." ”
Han Changwan thought about it, and it was exactly like this, so he nodded and said, "Then, let's go." ”
The two of them rushed to the Sifang Pavilion with heavy gifts to apologize to the Tubo Mission, and the two of them sat in the hall of the Sifang Pavilion for more than an hour, no one served tea and no one asked, and seeing that it was about to be time for lunch, a retinue with a horse and a stool came out.
Chen Xian hurriedly smiled and said: "Your Majesty ordered the official and the young envoy Han to convey his apologies to Prince Daishan together, I wonder if I can meet the prince in person?" ”
The entourage listened to the Chinese dialect for a while, stiffened their faces, spoke not very fluent Chinese, and mixed with a half-sentence of Tubo: "The prince can't see it, he can't see it." ”
Han Changdui didn't look smiling, and said lightly: "Why can't you see it." ”
The entourage had never seen Han Changdui, and he didn't know that he was the famous killing god in Tubo, the two thick black eyebrows were twisted, and the horizontal flesh on his face trembled viciously, and he said in a rough voice: "No, just no, go, go." ”
Han Changdui said lightly: "Then, is Lord Chahag here?" ”
The attendant shook his head violently: "Go, go, go." ”
The smile on Chen Xian's face gradually solidified, although he served in Honglu Temple, the most important thing was to be shameless, but he had never received such humiliating treatment, his face was slightly pale, and he endured his anger and said: "This official and Lord Han are here by holy order, and they must see Prince Daishan today." ”
The entourage also came angry, and snorted angrily: "I don't see, I can't see it." ”
"You," Chen Xian felt that the entourage was too kicking his nose in the face, pointing at him, and his angry eyes were red.
Seeing that the posture was wrong, Han Changdui hurriedly stepped forward and said lightly to his entourage: "It's okay if you don't see it, there is a sentence, please bring it to Chahag." ”
The entourage glanced at Han Changdu, and his mustaches trembled angrily, this person was too big to dare to call the adult's name.
Han Changdui didn't care about the arrogant attitude of his entourage, and still said indifferently: "Tell Chahag that Tuoba Fuyun will enter Beijing in a few days." ”
The entourage's face changed, and he was about to speak, but Han Changwan turned his head to Chen Xian and said, "Lord Chen, since Prince Daishan is in poor health, then let's meet again another day." ”
Chen Xian regained his smile and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay." He said to his entourage: "Please convey the condolences of this official and Lord Han to the prince on your behalf, and the prince will be cured one day, and this official and Lord Han will come to meet again." ”
The entourage opened his mouth, anxious, not to mention Chinese, and watched as the two of them dropped a few boxes of heavy gifts and walked away together.
Out of the gate of the Sifang Pavilion, Chen Xian asked in a low voice, "Lord Han, what do you mean by that sentence." ”
Han Changdui looked up at the sky, the sun hung high above his head, the faint fragrance of rice was in the air, and he twitched the tip of his nose.
Chen Xian immediately understood, and said with a smile: "Let's go, I have a treat today, go and taste the dumplings of the Shen family's wine shop." ”
Han Changdu: "The Shen family's wine shop has a new dish, called agate pork, I heard that it is very good." ”
Chen Xian choked, isn't it good, a hundred yuan a piece of meat, it has caught up with the price of a pound of pork. He glanced at Han Changdui a few times, according to this physique, there is no ten or eight pieces, so he can't get down.
But he said a lot of things, and he couldn't take it back, so he could only go and bleed.
The Shen family's liquor store is very prosperous, the Shen family lady sits behind the counter, pulls the abacus beads, takes notes, and the guy who runs the hall wears a white sweat towel on his shoulder, holding the menu card in his hand and inviting diners to order.
When Han Changwei and Chen Xian arrived, there were no seats, but fortunately, Chen Xian was a regular customer, and there were empty seats in the restaurant, so the guys who ran the hall immediately invited the two in.
The two sat opposite each other, and the guy who ran the hall held the menu card and asked the two to order.
Han Changdui was very unceremonious, his bony fingers fell on the menu, and he spit out a series of dish names in his mouth.
Chen Xian twitched the corner of his mouth, his flesh hurts, he can't keep his money for a month, if he goes on like this, his own lady will not let him go, and he will have to kneel when he goes back.
Seeing that Han Changwan had no intention of stopping, he covered Han Changdu's hand and said with a sneer: "That, Han Da, Brother Han, I can't finish eating too much, it's a waste." ”
Han Changwan smiled: "It's okay, the wine shop provides food boxes, and you can take them away if you can't finish eating." ”
With a "flutter", Chen Xian choked on a sip of tea and was speechless.
The wine shop served the food very quickly, Chen Xian was still choking and coughing here, and the guy who ran the hall over there had already neatly served the food on the table.
The lamb in the water basin with pepper is put aside, and the boiled soup is clear and tender; The fish is as thin as paper, and it can be rolled up by a gust of wind, and the entrance is fresh and slippery; The ruddy and oily agate pork is soft and fragrant, melts in the mouth, is really fatty but not greasy, and there are a few exquisite marinated side dishes.
Han Changdu's orders are all the specialties of the Shen family's wine shop, as well as a few new dishes that have just been served, with a unique flavor and a style of imperial cuisine in the palace.
As soon as Chen Xian saw the food on the table, he immediately put the bad things of kneeling and abacus behind him, and ate a big meal first.
He picked up the last piece of agate pork and swallowed it in one gulp, with an endless aftertaste, it was a must to be able to make the most unworthy pork so delicious.
He wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and said in a low voice: "Brother Han, what do you mean by what you said just now." ”
Han Changdui looked left and right, the diners were all eating hard, no one noticed them, so he said in a low voice: "The Tuyuhun mission is here this time is Prince Tuoba Fuyun, this prince's concubine is the sister of the eldest prince of Tubo, he and the eldest prince have always been good friends, and they are like brothers, and they communicate with each other. ”
Chen Xian understood in an instant, Prince Daishan lost face in the Dajing Dynasty, Tuoba Fuyun would not hide it for him, and he would definitely try his best to add fuel and vinegar to the return to Tubo, he lost face in Dajing, and the matter of harmony had twists and turns, if the eldest prince fanned the flames in front of the King of Tubo, he would definitely lose the trust and favor of the King of Tubo, so he would definitely try his best to redeem everything and gain the support of the Dajing Dynasty.
He let out a long oh, with a clear ending, and said with a smile: "That means that this matter will soon have a result." ”
Han Changwan smiled and nodded: "Yes, Prince Daishan will have to make a choice soon." ”
Hearing this, the gloomy and bleak days suddenly dispersed, Chen Xian's appetite widened, he waved his big hand with a smile, and shouted arrogantly: "Little Er, add two dishes." ”
The guy who ran the hall suddenly came over with a smile and a smile, and after a while, he went to the back kitchen to add vegetables with a smile.
The dish was served quickly, Chen Xian's heart was also relieved, and he ate happily, and at this moment, a respectful voice suddenly came from behind him: "Yo, Lord Chen." ”
Chen Xianyi turned his head, was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Yo, Lord Wang, what a coincidence." ”
The person who came smiled and looked very generous, glanced at Han Changdui, and said thoughtfully: "Lord Chen, who is this?" ”
Chen Xian hurriedly introduced with a smile: "This is the Young Envoy of the Internal Security Division, the Young Envoy of Han Lord, Lord Han, Lord Han, this is the Ancestral Department of the Ministry of Rites, and Lord Wang Lang." ”
As soon as Wang Zhen heard that Han Changdui was the young envoy of the Internal Security Division, he immediately changed to a more generous smile, and almost humbly saluted: "The lower official has seen the young envoy Han." ”
Han Changwan politely replied: "Wang Langzhong is polite." ”
Wang Zhen looked at the various dishes on the dining table, and said with a smile: "It's better to meet by chance, the lunch of the two adults is counted in the account of the lower official, and the lower official treats you." ”
Originally, Chen Xian invited him to treat him, and after ordering so many dishes, he was in pain, and when he saw that someone had taken the bill from the heavenly family, he narrowed his eyes with a smile, and thanked him again and again: "It seems that this lady of the Shen family will soon change her surname to the lady of the Wang family, and the two of you are about to do a good thing." ”
Wang Zhen blushed rarely, and said with a smile: "What Lord Chen said is that on the day of the wedding, Lord Han and Lord Chen will be invited to watch the ceremony and have a drink." ”
When Han Changdui heard this, he frowned slightly, watched Wang Zhen walk to the back of the counter with a familiar car, and asked Chen Xian in a curious low voice: "The lady of the Shen family, is it the shopkeeper of this wine shop?" ”
Chen Xian stuffed a mouthful of mutton, nodded and said, "Yes, it's that little lady in her twenties, I heard that she was widowed just a year after getting married, and it is pitiful to be widowed for many years." ”
Han Changdui's brows furrowed even tighter, although the Ministry of Rites Langzhong is only a subordinate to the fifth grade, but he is also a Beijing official, looking at the appearance of this Lord Wang, it is only about forty, if you release the words to marry a wife, a famous and noble girl will naturally not marry, but it is not difficult to marry a lady from an ordinary family, how can she marry a little lady who has been widowed for many years, or a shopkeeper of a wine shop, this is unreasonable.
He hesitated for a moment and asked, "What is the origin of this lady of the Shen family, how could she let Cong Wupin's Lang Center be willing to marry?" ”
