Chapter 106: Eyes opened
Bescin.
Zhu Gaoxu summoned Zhao Heng and filled him with a glass of wine: "There is an errand in this palace that you need to do." ”
"Second Highness, but it doesn't hurt to say it, as long as the villain can do it."
Zhao Heng arched his hand.
Lord Lin has the grace of knowing him, and now above the court, everyone knows that the second highness and Lord Lin are the closest, so if you don't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, you have to accept the request of the second highness.
"Today, you will accompany Lord Song to perform a play, and tomorrow morning, you will follow Huang Duan, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, to this Jiangnan Mansion, and record the silver in his hand without a penny, and register it in Huibaotong branches in various places."
Zhu Gaoxu deliberately lowered his voice.
"Don't talk about acting, even if His Royal Highness asks him to kill people on the street, he won't frown, but when it comes to escorting the White Lotus Sect Master, just send a few brocade guards, and I want to stay by Lord Lin's side."
Zhao Heng shook his head, it was not easy to see Lord Lin, this is about to leave, and he has to walk around the entire Jiangnan Mansion, at least a few months, when he thinks of not seeing Lord Lin for a few months, his heart aches faintly, how can he accept it.
"This matter is very important, the White Lotus Sect Leader has millions of taels of silver in his hands, and he definitely can't leak the slightest rumor, now the brocade clothes are full of the eyes of the father, this morning's matter will reach the ears of the father and the emperor in the evening, Brother Lin is also out of this consideration, so he decided to hand over this matter to the most trusted person to do, if you don't want to, this palace will never force it."
After all, Lin Hao also regarded Zhao Heng as a brother, and he couldn't use the identity of the prince to force him to obey, so he resorted to indulgence.
Zhao Heng directly hugged his fist towards Zhu Gaoxu, and said sonorously: "His Royal Highness Lao Fu told Lord Lin that he was determined to live up to his mission!" ”
I didn't expect that I was Lord Lin, the most trusted person, and my heart can be said to be extremely beautiful!
……
Wang Xianzhi and Hu Yan, who were under house arrest in the mansion, still got the news through the errand service, and Lord Qincha was like a divine help, and overnight, he broke through the Luoxiao Mountain Range, introduced the water of the Xiangjiang River into Xichang Mansion, and solved the drought in Xichang Mansion.
The matter of the White Lotus Sect being taken to the end naturally couldn't escape the many eyeliners in Xichang, and Wang Xianzhi and the two of them were restless in the house.
When Lord Song Li freed his hands, it is estimated that they are the ones who want to clean up, the two of them rely on the mountain high emperor Yuan, and there was a backer of Liu Guan, the head of the household department, and it can be said that there is no evil in Xichang.
All kinds of bad deeds can't stand up to investigation at all, the money has been gathered, and he almost got on the line with Song Li, but now he can't even go out of the mansion, how to honor Lord Song.
"Wang Zhixian, you can't sit still like this anymore, you have to think of a way to get out, with Lin Hao's temperament, I don't know how to drum up the two of us in front of Lord Song behind my back."
Hu Yan got up, put on his official robe, and was about to walk towards the outside of the mansion.
"Lord Qincha has an order, but without a warrant, the two adults are not allowed to leave the mansion for half a step."
Jin Yiwei made a gesture to pull out the embroidered spring knife in his hand.
"Wait, why don't you let the two adults out of the house?"
Song Li, who was passing by "coincidentally", lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and asked.
"Lord Song, it was ordered by Lord Qincha, and now there are remnants of the White Lotus Sect hidden in the city, in order to ensure the safety of the two adults, they are not allowed to leave the mansion for half a step."
Jin Yiwei arched the embroidered spring knife in his hand.
"It's okay, Lord Lin is also for the safety of the two adults, and now that the official is going to dinner, he wants to invite the two adults to accompany him, isn't it a problem?"
Song Li glared at Jin Yiwei.
Jin Yiwei also pretended to be entangled: "Lord Song, don't embarrass the villain, if there is no edict from Lord Lin, the villain will release the two adults, which will be to lose this flying fish suit." ”
Wang Xianzhi and the two suddenly understood, and it was clear that Lin Hao's gang was making a stumbling block, not letting the two of them go out, maybe fanning the flames behind their backs, it was really despicable!
"Lord Wang, don't worry, Lord Song has spoken, just two brocade guards, can stop us, the more Lin Hao is like this, the more it means that he has no bottom in his heart, for fear that Lord Song will find out, we are more comfortable than him."
Hu Yan showed a touch of cunning and pulled Wang Xianzhi's placket.
Wang Xianzhi was also suddenly, and secretly gave Hu Yan a look, and it had to be Master Hu, who saw it thoroughly.
As long as he has a good relationship with Lord Song, that kid will be a grasshopper after the autumn, and he won't be able to jump for a few days.
"Presumptuous, your Lord Qincha is just a doctor of the country's Zijian, and Lord Song is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, ranking Jiuqing, I don't think you know how many eyes Lord Ma has!"
"Lord Song, if you don't remove his identity as Jinyiwei, we are now a thousand households in the tobacco department, and we can directly appoint Jinyiwei."
Zhao Heng pretended to be on the side.
The Jinyi guard guarding the door suddenly became anxious, and hurriedly stepped forward to curry favor and said: "Zhao Qianhu, what are you talking about, we are just begging for life, since Lord Song has spoken, the villain should not see it." ”
This acting skill is simply amazing, and it feels like to play the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.
……
"Two adults get in the car."
Zhao Heng opened the curtain of the carriage and made a gesture of invitation to Wang Xianzhi and the others.
Wang Xianzhi and the others were also secretly cool in their hearts, how dare they offend Jinyiwei on weekdays.
Sure enough, the official level crushed people to death, Lord Shangshu is not ordinary, and he opened his mouth to remove the official body of Jinyiwei, if he can sit in this position one day, he really has not come to the world in vain in this life.
According to the etiquette, Jiuqing's sedan chair can be carried by eight people, the top of the sedan chair is silver, and the sedan cover and sedan cloth are made of soap.
And as county officials, they can only take a small sedan chair carried by two people, which does not dare to exceed the rules, otherwise it is the crime of trespassing by killing the head.
Sitting in Song Li's sedan chair, Mo said that if he sat on three people, even if he added three more, he felt spacious.
The maid next to Lord Song Li can also be called the national color and natural fragrance, her skin is like clotted fat, and there is a faint fragrance all over her body, which makes Wang Xianzhi and the others feel ashamed of themselves and dare not look directly.
The bottom of the sedan chair is covered with embroidery worth 100 gold and Shu, and what is even worse is that there is a plate of lychees in the fruit bowl.
It's not the season for lychees, and the freshness of the lychees looks as if they have just been plucked from the tree.
As soon as the concubine laughed on the red dust, no one knew that it was a lychee.
Thinking of this, a flash of greed flashed in Hu Yan's eyes, why are they the same people, but there is such a big difference.
One day, he will do the same!
"The two adults haven't eaten yet, I heard that the most famous restaurant in Xichang is the Wangjiang Tower, why don't you dine with this official?"
The little peach pinching his leg next to Song Li peeled a lychee and put it into Song Li's mouth, spit out the kernel, and said with a smile.
"Lord Song appreciates the light, naturally he can't ask for it, the boiled meat in Wangjiang Tower, sprinkled with a handful of salt, is called a fragrant."
"There is also the seventy-year-old daughter Hong, which is said to be brewed with grain, and now in Daming, I want to drink wine made from grain, and there is definitely only one Wangjianglou in this year."
Wang Xianzhi greeted with a smile.
Speaking of eating, he hasn't served anyone, a proper glutton.
Just saying that every time the meat is cooked, it has to be heavy oil and salt, who can compare to him will enjoy it, even His Majesty today, it is said that there is a strict quota for salt.
"That's really borrowing Wang Zhixian's face, so I have such a blessing."
Song Li smiled heartily, but when he heard the word boiled meat, he couldn't help but feel sick in his heart.
Last night, I tasted the fairy-like duck, and when I ate the meat in the morning, I only felt bland, and it was accompanied by a strong fishy smell, which was disgusting.
If you can eat that spicy duck every day, and then take a sip of Wusu beer, you can't enjoy it too much.
His Royal Highness has told himself privately that these things are all from Taoyuan County, and as long as he has a Taoyuan hukou, it is no different from giving it away for nothing.
Immediately, Song Li secretly made up his mind that after the construction of the water system was over, he would return to his hometown with His Majesty.
Pull down this old face and ask Lord Lin what kind of Taoyuan account he wants, and go to Taoyuan County to live that fairy-like life.
……
Wangjiang Tower.
Located next to a tributary of the Xiangjiang River, just leaning on the city wall, you can overlook the river, and the scale is not too large compared with the restaurants in Yingtianfu.
As soon as the shopkeeper of Wangjiang Tower saw the eight sedan chairs, he knew that he was a distinguished guest.
Hurriedly stepped forward, rubbed his hands, and said with a flattering face: "I said how to open the door this morning, I heard the magpie calling on the branch, it turned out to be an omen that there are distinguished guests in Wangjiang Tower today." ”
The Jinyi guard who was driving opened the curtain, and saw Wang Xianzhi and Hu Yan walking out, and the old face of the shopkeeper who was still full of smiles a moment ago suddenly turned cloudy.
These two grandsons often come to his Wangjiang Tower, and every time they keep accounts, but they have never settled the money, but the two are the masters of the county government, and he does not dare to offend.
Immediately following the nonsense, he greeted the sedan chair full of flattery: "Lord Song, Zhao Qianhu, you two beware of staying down, don't hurt your body." ”
Wang Xianzhi was even more neat, prostrate directly on the ground, acting as a small horse, and let Song Li and Zhao Heng step on his back and get out of the carriage.
Hu Yan groaned in his heart, Wang Xianzhi, this kid didn't play cards according to the routine, and actually walked in front of himself.
After the two dismounted, Wang Xianzhi hurriedly got up and swept away the dust on his body: "The sedan chair is quite high, it is estimated that the adults of Jinyiwei forgot to bring Ma Zha and wronged the feet of the two adults." ”
Wang Xianzhi's operation, the corners of his mouth twitched when he saw Hu Yan, and he could still play so much!?
The shopkeeper was also dumbfounded, Wang Xianzhi did all kinds of evil in Xichang Mansion on weekdays, but because of a child, he accidentally stepped on his official robe.
was skinned alive and thrown into the mountains to feed the wild wolves, such a vicious lord, this time he actually knelt down as a horse, it is really unheard of.
Similarly, it also reflects from the side that the dignity of the two identities on the sedan chair is not even offended by Wang Xianzhi, how can he dare to slack off in the slightest when he only opens a restaurant.
Hurriedly greeted, several people went up to the second floor, specially moved out of a private room, and invited in.
"What do you want to eat?"
The shopkeeper squinted slightly, bowed his body, and asked with a smile.
"Forty hens of the right age." Song Li pinched his nose and looked around the restaurant, full of disgust.
"You're just three of you, and you eat forty chickens?"
The shopkeeper was a little surprised.
Song Li glanced at Xiao Er, and said in a strange manner: "Maybe it's not enough for me to eat alone, it depends on how you do." ”
Although the shopkeeper was surprised, it was not easy to ask, after all, the two adults sitting next to this master were Xichang Zhixian and County Cheng, even if they made fun of themselves, they had to consider themselves unlucky.
In business, how can you beat the master of the official family, accompanied by a smiling face, and he has to walk towards the back kitchen.
"Slow, don't want to be on the side, as long as the tip of the chicken tongue is taken alive, it must be taken alive, in order to ensure the tenderness of the tip of the tongue, a little marinated and fried elm money, and there are forty pieces for one person, a total of one hundred and twenty, go ahead."
Song Li called the shopkeeper and didn't forget to remind.
The shopkeeper's face was embarrassed, and he looked at Wang Xianzhi, although his Wangjiang Mansion was the largest restaurant in Xichang Mansion, how to find one hundred and twenty hens of the right year with this effort.
Wang Xianzhi glanced at the shopkeeper, hinting that he would do it, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this Lord Song is worthy of coming from the heavens, and the official worships the six departments, and he is really arrogant like this.
Ordinary people, how can they think of this way of eating, it is estimated that they don't even dare to dream like this, it seems that they are still a full earth leopard.
"Come back."
As soon as the shopkeeper was about to leave, he was called down by Song Li again.
"Master, what else do you command?"
The shopkeeper didn't dare to offend in the slightest, and hurriedly turned around to greet him.
"Take another twenty, half a pound of mandarin fish, not a centimeter can be bad, only half a pound of mandarin fish, not reproduced, the meat is the most delicious, the official wants to see the slaughtered mandarin fish, each must be weighed."
Song Li grabbed the jade wrench that Lin Hao borrowed from Lin Hao.
The shopkeeper's headache, now it is the middle of winter, the lake has frozen, where to get fresh mandarin fish, even if you can get it, how to ensure that each one is just half a pound of weight, this is clearly to find fault.
But looking at Wang Xianzhi and Hu Yan's scrutinizing eyes, the anger in their hearts could only be suppressed.
"Under the eighth scale on the tail fin of each mandarin fish, take a piece of skin as big as a fingernail cover, and use this jade bowl to steam in the pot, the pot can not be covered, and the jade bowl can not touch the water in the pot, it is best for people to hold it up and steam it with their hands, so as not to overshoot the steamed fish skin and affect the taste of this dish."
"I've made two dishes and served them to me, do you understand?"
Song Li closed his eyes and said in a deep voice.
"Understand, this mandarin fish should also be twenty for one person, and sixty for a total of sixty."
The shopkeeper is almost doubting life.
"Go ahead."
Song Li waved his hand.
"Come back."
As soon as the shopkeeper was about to leave, Song Li shouted again.
"Master, what else do you command?"
The shopkeeper's back molars were about to be crushed, but there was still a sycophantic smile on his face.
"Zhao Hengna, take out our golden pot and let him use it, the pot next to it can't be done, the taste of the fried is wrong, the official has to smash your shop."
Song Li glanced at Zhao Heng.
Zhao Heng hurriedly took out a pot made of pure gold from the carriage, which weighed ten catties!
"Don't be afraid to spend silver, the silver is less, our lord won't agree!"
Zhao Heng took out five Da Ming Dao Treasure Bills of 1,000 taels from his sleeve and stuffed them into the hands of the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper almost didn't sit directly on the ground, five thousand taels!
I can't spend a lifetime!
Don't say that if you eat this young hen and a half-pound mandarin fish, even if you want to eat bear's paws and shark fins, he has to think of ways to get them.
The previous displeasure was suddenly swept away, and the sycophancy on his face became more and more intense: "Master, you can see it, the cook of our restaurant in Wangjianglou is hired from Ying Tianfu at a high price, and it is said that he has also worked as an imperial chef in the palace, and he is cooking for the emperor, and his skills are absolutely not said!" ”
What kind of bullshit should be dug up by Tianfu, it is clearly his brother-in-law who is not in the climate, but who is sure about eating this thing, five thousand taels of silver in hand, even if this lord smashes his shop, he will not complain.
After finishing this ticket, you can go back to the countryside to buy a few hundred acres of fertile land, and then marry a dozen concubines and live that fairy-like happy life.
Hu Yan swallowed his saliva subconsciously, thinking that he had seen the world, but this time it was really a knife and an ass-opened eye.
Not to mention this ten-pound pot made of pure gold, it is 5,000 taels of silver for a meal alone.
Who dares to say that this Lord Song is not greedy, compared to Lord Song, the fire they owe is not a star and a half.
However, I also wondered in my heart, the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver prepared by the two, would this Lord Song not look down on it at all.
