458 Is He Not Happy?
Uncle Guo was deceived by the face of Qingsheng, and completely forgot who slaughtered them 50,000 taels of silver on the first day they entered Zhuangzi, and only felt that this was a simple and honest adult.
Eating fish, drinking wine, and sandwiching two bites of side dishes, not to mention how beautiful the days are, no wonder people who have been to Dayan Country in the past say that Dayan food makes people forget to return, even this wine is not ordinary, and this grade of wine is worthy of his noble status, compared with this wine, the so-called fine wine he drank in Jiangmeng Country in the past has become scum.
It's a pity that Wen Xiangrong's old thing is too stingy, all he has been thinking about these days is how to save money, and they didn't bring enough silver when they came? Or is his emperor's brother-in-law not allowed to spend? I don't know who this old thing is saving money for.
Alas, the wine is good, the food is good, but unfortunately there is no beauty around him, the more Uncle Guo drinks, the more melancholy he becomes, the Zhuangzi is good, but all day long, in addition to Wen Xiangrong's consideration, eat some delicious but cheap food, only fishing is left, he is a dignified uncle, who has always enjoyed it, how can he be idle? If the Emperor's decree of the Great Yan Kingdom has not been reached, they have been trapped in Zhuangzi?
Look at the honest man's birthday, "Steward, there is wine and food, but there is no singing and dancing, isn't it boring?" ”
Qingsheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, he really didn't prepare this in his Zhuangzi, he originally planned to let the girl who was holding the boat come over and sing two songs to Uncle Guo, but when he saw that Uncle Guo was drunk and hazy, he didn't look like a serious person, Qingsheng still decided not to let those girls come over, in case he was taken by Uncle Guo, he couldn't let the people in his Zhuangzi suffer casually.
But when I went outside to call the girl, the road was too far, and besides, Weicheng Mansion was also going to have a curfew, and no one could bring it out. The most important point is that he celebrates his birthday, and he is not pimping, and he loses his share when he does this.
Uncle Chao Guo smiled, "Uncle Guo, you will embarrass me, the Zhuangzi are all vulgar Zhuang families, how can anyone sing and dance?" Why don't you take a look at Xiao Liuzicheng? Let him sing you a song? ”
When the Zhuangzi that had been pondering his own house was opened, whether to simply copy the Zhuangzi celebrating his birthday, or go to learn from the princess again, Xiao Liuzi heard it, and immediately put a big smile on his uncle.
Although it is a bit of a shame to let him sing a song for others, but this song is not sung in vain, this uncle is a well-known person in the envoy group this time who is stupid and has a lot of money, how can he get a few taels of silver for singing a song, although a few taels of silver is nothing to him, but no matter how small the mosquito is, it is also meat, didn't the princess earn it from setting up a barbecue stall, one or two silver?
As a result, looking at the snow-white teeth on his black face, Uncle Guo suddenly felt so bored, what he wanted was a fragrant and soft woman, where is such a black, ** man?
Snorted angrily, but continued to eat his fish and drink his bar.
Seeing that Xiao Liuzi was disliked, he showed a dissatisfied expression, and waved his hand on his birthday, in fact, it really said, Xiao Liuzi's singing voice, roaring twice in the military camp can also be called heroic, but the uncle of the country does not appreciate this style when he wants to, in case the little Liuzi roars that voice scares the uncle again.
Xiao Liuzi 'hummed', and Uncle Guo raised his eyebrows, "Yo, he's not happy anymore?" ”
Qingsheng said: "Isn't he trying to earn money to save his wife's capital, but unfortunately with his appearance, temper and stubbornness, he has not been favored by guests in Zhuangzi, and he hasn't made much money. ”
Uncle Guo will still give some of the face of the birthday, and when he mentions the wine, although Uncle Guo is a little dizzy, he is still reluctant to stop, "I said in charge, your wine is really good, and I will let someone load a few catties for my uncle later, and it will be counted as a pot of one hundred taels." ”
Qingsheng looked embarrassed, "Uncle Guo, it's not that I'm stingy, this wine is really not much, you have also drunk it, can this wine be made from ordinary materials?" That is, when I saw someone like Uncle Guo who understands wine, otherwise if someone else came, I would feel distressed even if I drank two more sips, and I really didn't make money for a pot of one hundred taels. ”
Although Uncle Guo thinks that he is wealthy, he also knows that he can take advantage of it, since he gave him a hundred taels of wine before his birthday, presumably one hundred taels will not make money, and he will not lose it, at this time, seeing Qingsheng's reluctant face, his face sank, "You say this, but you don't treat Uncle Guo and me as a friend, don't you make me a friend of Uncle Guo, and it is not worth your wine?" It's a big deal that Old Man Wen will pick and instigate again in the future, I'll say a few more words for you, so that you can earn more silver. ”
When he heard it, his eyes lit up, "Is Uncle Guo's words serious?" ”
Uncle Guo raised his chin proudly, "That's natural, Uncle Guo, can I still use these little things to trick you?" Don't look at the old man who is the leader of the envoy this time, but most of the envoys are people from the uncle, these are not the words of the uncle? Well, it depends on whether you're a friend or not. ”
Qingsheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and instructed outside: "Little Liuzi, you go and ask someone to send another five catties of wine to Uncle Guo." ”
Xiao Liuzi answered, came back after a short time, carried a five-pound wine jar in his hand, put the wine jar on the table, and said in a weird manner: "General Mo said, there is not much wine left, let you take it easy, she hasn't drunk enough, but she can't sell it all." ”
Qingsheng waved his hand, "I know, it's none of your business here, go down!" ”
Xiao Liuzi 'hummed' to Uncle Guo again, but Uncle Guo was very interested in what he said about General Mo, thinking that they came to Dayan, in addition to taking Feng Wu and others back to China, there is another purpose to bribe Dayan officials, although Beijing officials want to bribe, like the officials here in Weicheng Mansion are more important, after all, from Jiangmeng to Dayan, Weicheng Mansion is the only way, if you can buy a few officials from Weicheng Mansion, it will be convenient to do things in the future.
If he buys this General Mo, wouldn't it be a great achievement? So he asked, "Brother, who is General Mo that Xiao Liuzi is talking about?" At this time, but in Zhuangzi? ”
Qingsheng frowned when he heard this: "General Mo is General Mo under the command of King Ningyuan, and Uncle Guo should also know that our Zhuangzi actually relies on Ningyuan Palace, otherwise where can we find these delicacies and wines?" Just like the wine that Uncle Guo drinks, it is brewed by the palace, otherwise many of these precious materials in the wine are bought with money and no land, General Mo and I ...... The personal relationship is very good, this is not the first jar of wine brewed in the palace, she got some to taste with me, originally this wine is not for sale, but also I am greedy, and I think Uncle Guo is a person who understands wine, I think this kind of good wine can not be buried. I think it was General Mo who felt that the wine was sold by me, and it was sold cheaply, so he was dissatisfied, and when I went back later, I had to appease and appease her. ”
Uncle Guo didn't take anything else to heart, and the only thing he remembered in his heart was 'General Mo is General Mo under the command of King Ningyuan', and this time he was really touched by him.
Wen Xiangrong was still worried about how to get close to the people of King Ningyuan, although he couldn't buy people directly, but many times as long as it was convenient, it was enough for them Jiangmeng people, but unfortunately he was brought to this Zhuangzi after he set foot on the land of Dayan Kingdom, and in addition to the tour guide and steward, there were only some Zhuang households, and they didn't have a chance, so they finally met a General Mo, but they couldn't miss it.
"Steward, you see, we came to Dayan to meet the emperor of Dayan Kingdom, but we don't want to stay in your Zhuangzi for many days, and we don't know anything about the situation in Dayan Kingdom, although we don't want to do anything, but in the end, it's not like that in the eyes of Dayan Kingdom, or you go and talk to that General Mo and meet with us, it's not for her to divulge the secrets about Dayan, as long as she gives us a reminder or two, so as not to touch Dayan's taboo, or talk about the matters to be paid attention to when meeting Emperor Dayan or King Ningyuan."
Uncle Guo's eyes were extremely sincere, and he took out a stack of silver tickets as he spoke, all of them were fifty taels and one of them, and the strength was estimated to be ten, or the silver tickets of HSBC Yinzhuang in circulation in Dayan Country, thinking about the time when they sold Fushou paste in Dayan, most of the silver tickets were accumulated at that time.
Qingsheng felt that this kind of thing that originally belonged to Dayan, he didn't take it for nothing, and he took it for nothing, which was much more profitable than selling wine.
I just glanced at the silver ticket a few times in embarrassment, and after being pushed twice by Uncle Guo, I looked at the silver ticket on the table with a look of embarrassment, "Uncle Guo, wait a minute, I have to go and talk to General Mo about this matter, as for whether I see it or not......"
Uncle Guo pushed the silver ticket over again, "Whether it is successful or not, since the steward has taken the effort, this silver ticket still has to be accepted." ”
Qingsheng's face was overjoyed, and he finally accepted the silver ticket, "Since Uncle Guo said so, I will do my best in this matter, you wait a minute, I will go and talk to General Mo." ”
Seeing the birthday celebration leaving in a hurry, where can Uncle Guo still sit still? Get up and run outside.
Of course, he knows that because of his identity as his uncle, how many people in the court mention him on the surface and despise him in their hearts, and they all regard him as a gentleman who relies on his sister to eat, if he does things well this time and succeeds in getting on the line with this General Mo, it will be a credit, that is, the right minister has to look at him differently.
It's just that he can build a line for this matter, how to bribe General Mo is Wen Xiangrong's business, after all, the gold, silver and jewelry brought are all in the hands of his people, and meritorious service can be made, but this silver can't be paid by him.
It's the silver ticket that he just gave to celebrate his birthday, and he has to get it back later.
Qingsheng went to tell General Mo that he had to hurry up to see the right minister, and the right minister would talk to General Mo about the rest.
As a result, when Wen Xiangrong heard that there was a General Mo in Zhuangzi, he first frowned, feeling that a Zhuangzi's steward had a general friend who had a very good personal relationship, which was a little untrustworthy, but when he thought that King Ningyuan could put them in Zhuangzi, it was not easy to come to Zhuangzi's stewardship, so why was it difficult to know a general? Maybe he himself is King Ningyuan's person?
Thinking about it like this, Wen Xiangrong felt suddenly enlightened, why didn't he think of it before? Perhaps from the mouth of this steward, you can find out a lot of inside information about Dayan that has been difficult to understand before.
