Lin'an.

More than 30 years have passed since the imperial court moved to the south, from the beginning of the panic to today's prosperity, it is not overnight, more than 30 years have passed, although the front line can still feel the danger of the soldiers, but here, it is a peaceful place, its prosperous scene, reminiscent of the Bianjing elegance of the year.

It was not the first time that Xin Qiji came, but every time he came, on the one hand, he felt yearning for this kind of prosperity, but on the other hand, he began to worry that prosperity would corrode the will of the Song people and lose his will to resist gold.

After meeting the new emperor, Xin Qi was full of joy and sorrow.

The worry is that Zhao Tuan learned from his mouth that the situation on the battlefield has probably reached a very bad situation now, and in these days in Lin'an, I learned from various channels that the debate between the main battle lords of the imperial court is becoming more and more intense, and it has almost reached the situation of fighting in the same room.

Happily, in the conversation with Emperor Zhao Tuan, he could feel that the emperor was ambitious, and he also praised his suggestions, but when it came to resisting Jin, Zhao Tuan did not give more promises, but only comforted Xin Qijian that he would have a chance in the future, and proposed to put more burden on him.

This is Xu Guan.

Xin Qiji is a smart person, and he can probably guess that the current situation has moved towards a situation of peace, which can be seen from Tang Si's retirement as the right minister.

Tang Siwei advocated abandoning the four counties of Hai, Si, Tang, and Deng to negotiate peace, and rejecting Zhang Jun, who was the main battle faction, these are all things on the surface, and the imperial court is like a leaky sieve, and the things on the national policy cannot be hidden.

Therefore, although Xin Qiji has been here for a few days, he can also inquire about these things.

"It's time to go back."

Xin Qiji sighed, led the horse out of the post house, said goodbye to the post house people, and left Lin'an from the north gate, before leaving, someone in the crowd stared closely at his back, Xin Qiji felt a little strange, looked back, the market was still bustling, there was no abnormality, and he patted the horse away.

Although Xin Zhi is much smarter and smarter than before, he is only a seven-year-old child after all, and it is always worrying that there is no adult to take care of him.

All the way, Xin Qiji returned to Jiangyin, and when he returned this time, he felt a different atmosphere from before.

Although Jiangyin is still nervous, Zhao Shipeng, the intellectual, is quite enthusiastic, and he greets him for a while, and there are also real power figures such as the general judge, who are also quite enthusiastic, and want to wash the dust for Xin Qiji.

It's just that Xin Qiji missed his son at home, and he shirked that he was tired all the way and wanted to go back to rest and rest, so he was able to get out.

When he got home, Xin Qiji was quite surprised, originally thought that he was not at home, Xin Zhi would look thin, after all, a child may not be able to take care of himself, but he didn't expect Xin Zhi to be holding a chicken leg with a red face.

Xin Qiji was quite relieved: "Which colleague's family gave you this chicken leg, who gave it to you, I have to thank them for my father." ”

Xin Zhi smiled: "Where someone sent it, I bought it myself." ”

Xin Qiji was surprised: "I bought it myself, where can I afford to buy meat with the little money I left for you?" ”

Xin Zhi said with a smile: "I made a deal, I finally have a little spare money in my hands, you are hungry, I will buy you some wine and food, eat and sleep well to relieve fatigue, this journey is really not easy, you have to make up for it." ”

Xin Qiji exclaimed: "Did you make a deal? What kind of business, didn't I say don't give people a handle? ”

Xin Zhi said: "Dad, don't worry, either go outside to do business, or sell some knowledge, I happen to know a little cooking, and I sold it to the Lu family, and I got a thousand guan, and in the future, our family will eat meat if they want to, enough for our father and son to eat for a while." ”

"What, a thousand kans?"

As soon as these words came out, Xin Qiji thought that he had heard it wrong.

Seeing Xin Qiji's surprise, Xin Zhi hurriedly told the story of the story, of course, the original form of the story is still the story of the old master of Fan Lou, he was indeed taken care of by a cook for a while, but the cook was actually just an ordinary cook.

Xin Qiji pondered for a moment and said: "Then Master Wang's cooking skills are just average, didn't he make some flowing water banquets in the countryside, how did he become the master chef of Fan Lou?" ”

Xin Zhi said with a smile: "Dad, you are the secretary in charge of the army, where would you care about such a small person, people are also afraid of being targeted, so they deduced that they were engaged in running water banquets, he didn't believe in others, but he got along with me for a long time, and saw that I was quite talented in cooking, so he taught me for a while, and he didn't hide his origins." ”

Xin Qiji was relieved: "I didn't expect that there would be such a character under his command, alas, too, when the sky collapsed, everyone was just a dog, and even the nobles of Tianhuang were reduced to slaves, and the rest of the people could be better." ”

Xin Qiji sighed.

After sighing, he asked about Lu Mengkun again: "Then the head of the Lu family should really be willing to give a thousand guan?" That's not a small amount. ”

Xin Qiji lifted the bed board and took out a box of gold and silver, even though Xin Qiji had seen the world, he couldn't help but be a little dizzy.

He touched Xin Zhen's head and said with a smile: "This money is coming from the right way, but I'm not afraid of people saying it, so keep it, this time has hurt you, it's me who didn't think about it, I should have left some money, otherwise you won't even be able to eat a piece of meat, alas, poor child." ”

Speaking of this, Xin Qiji couldn't help crying: "Although my parents died early when my father was young, I was taken care of by your great-grandfather, and our Xin family is even more big, although it is quite hard to study and practice martial arts, but there is no shortage of food for me, and there are servants at home, I didn't expect you, but you have to go through these hardships......"

For Xin Qiji's emotion, Xin Zhi was quite strange in his heart, his parents died early in his previous life, and he really didn't experience any family affection, and he was a little uncomfortable in the face of such a scene, especially Xin Qiji, a human tiger who shed tears, which surprised him even more.

But even if it is a tiger, there are times when he licks the calf deeply, and he doesn't understand, but he just doesn't get used to it.

Xin Zhi was really allergic to this kind of scene, and hurriedly said: "Dad, you take a bath first, this body is dirty, I'll buy you wine and food, drink a few glasses for a while, and sleep well, so that you can relieve your fatigue, and it can be regarded as catching the wind and washing the dust." ”

Xin Qijian wiped away his tears and smiled: "Well, okay, your mother was like this before, you are quite similar to your mother......"

Xin Zhi was about to sigh when he saw Xin Qiji, so he quickly turned around and went out.

Seeing this, Xin Qiji shook his head and laughed in a low voice: "This kid." ”

……

The father and son ate around the table, Xin Zhi was quite cheap, chicken, duck and fish, or he personally cooked it, and did it quite carefully, Xin Qiji ate such amazing food for the first time, and couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder the Lu family is willing to spend so much money to buy recipes, it is indeed unique, when he traveled to Bianjing for his father, Fan Lou actually reopened, and tried it for his father, and the taste is really not much better than you." ”

Listening to Xin Qiji's praise, Xin Zhi just smiled.

Seriously, his cooking skills may not really be better than Fan Lou's master, but the food he makes, after all, still carries some of the bonuses of the times, and some spices that have not been reused in this era are used by him in these foods, and naturally have some unique fragrances.

Xin Zhi asked about the harvest of Xin Qiji's trip, and Xin Qiji picked up a good one, but Xin Zhi heard Xin Qiji's loss.

However, Xin Zhi didn't ask much, just said something good, Xin Qiji has achieved a legend in this era, but it is also a great tragedy.

A person who is dedicated to serving the country, but he cannot be reused, and the imperial court will soon turn into a period of suppressing the main fighters, and the stronger Xin Qiji's ability, the more intense the pain in his heart.

Sure enough, Xin Qiji couldn't stop him when he started drinking, Xin Zhi was young, so he naturally couldn't drink, Xin Qiji drank alone, but the more he drank, the more energetic he became.

Xin Zhi didn't stop him, the bitterness in Xin Qiji's heart, only the wine could be slightly extinguished, let him go.

When he got to the back, Xin Qiji was finally drunk, and Xin Zhi spent a lot of effort dragging him to the bed, but fortunately, he had already taken a bath and slept directly.

Looking at Xin Qijian lying on the bed, Xin Zhi sighed and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Although Xin Qiji's heart was depressed, there was still hope, but he, a seven-year-old child, was full of despair.

The more you know, the more desperate you become.

Xin Zhen is not a hard-hearted person, he still has many scenes of hell on earth when the sky collapsed in his mind, in the troubled times, people are not as good as dogs, but what can he do?

The Jin soldiers, who were now feared by the imperial court, were defeated by the more powerful Mongols a few years later, and this peaceful country was inevitably overthrown.

This is a national war, and without a country that strives for progress, it will not be possible to achieve anything at all by relying on individual efforts!

What can he do as a social animal of later generations?
