Chapter 30 Prefect's Ticket

In fact, Song Ren said that it was coarse tea and light rice, which was just a humble word.

This breakfast meal can be described as quite hearty.

It's not that he sympathizes with the hard work of catching fast, nor does he foresee that Yu Guang will come in person.

Rather, he was to eat it himself.

In terms of eating, Song Renke never wronged himself.

He even cooked and made steamed eggs and other side dishes to reward himself after a night of review.

But this breakfast was specially prepared by Song Ren when he learned in advance that he was coming in person.

In my heart, I couldn't help but be a little moved.

The place to eat was chosen in the courtyard of the front yard, Yu Guang didn't know that this was this place, and there was blood all over the place last night.

As soon as Yu Guang sat down, Song Ren suddenly looked at the thin old man who had been following Yu Guang.

This old man in a gray robe with no eyebrows is hard not to notice.

And from the moment he entered, his gaze stayed on Su Mo, who was standing against the wall, and seemed to be very vigilant.

Song Ren guessed that this strange old man with no eyebrows should be Yu Guang's guard, so he said with a smile: "This old gentleman must have never eaten, let's sit down and eat some together." ”

Only then did the old man move his gaze to Song Ren, looking at him with a smile, and he didn't say anything.

Yu Guang was stunned for a moment, in fact, he wanted to propose to let the old man sit down with him at the beginning, but because of the identity of the old man, he didn't know how to speak.

This old man is not only his bodyguard, but also a eunuch, but also a master of the interior, who is deeply trusted by the emperor, and is also personally assigned by the emperor to escort Yu Guang to the safety of the patrol all the way.

It's just that the emperor mentioned that the identity of Father-in-law Nian needs to be kept secret.

Today's emperor relies heavily on eunuchs and has the idea of letting eunuchs take power.

The status of the eunuch is rising, and this young father-in-law has a strange temperament, and he has to keep his identity secret, Yu Guang has also been entangled for a long time.

Sitting with a guard seems to be out of lineage, literati are the most important etiquette, not to mention a literati like Yu Guang, who has been infiltrated in officialdom for several years, and even more values these red tapes.

But I don't invite my father-in-law, and I am afraid that he will be dissatisfied and will not be good for his official career in the future.

After all, the eunuchs have lost their roots, and the physiological changes will inevitably affect their psychological state, causing most eunuchs to be narrow-minded, as long as they offend them, they will definitely find an opportunity to take revenge.

Yu Guang understands this very well, so he is in a dilemma.

Unexpectedly, Song Ren's understatement helped him solve the current problem.

Yu Guang glanced at Song Ren with a little gratitude, turned his head and said, "Since the main family is invited, let's eat together when you are old." ”

Nian's father-in-law raised his head and raised the corners of Song Ren's mouth slightly, "Our family inherited Song Xiaoyou's affection." ”

His voice was a little sharp, and it sounded awkward.

Yu Guang was stunned, his eyes were a little strange, there were few people who could be called a little friend by this young father-in-law.

Master Song, it's really extraordinary!

Whether the others guessed the old man's true identity because of the old man's voice, Song Ren didn't know, but he guessed it.

looked at Nian's father-in-law's eyes, and there was a little more eagerness.

Ooh! Eunuch, alive!

As Song Ren, who studied ancient laws, he was all too familiar with the position of eunuch, which had disappeared in modern times.

One of the topics he once studied was called "Liu Jin's Changing the Law", which mentioned the unique method of cracking down on corrupt officials, "the case of punishing rice", which can be said to be a precedent for fines and gave a great reference to future generations.

And this Liu Jin is a big eunuch.

He didn't have any likes or dislikes for the eunuch Song Ren, he only felt strange.

But in the heart of Nian's father-in-law, Song Ren's "old man" made him very comforted.

The other party specially invited himself, and Xu discovered his true identity.

But the tone of his voice did not mean the slightest flattery, purely as an ordinary old man.

As a person with a handicapped body, Father-in-law Nian has an inferiority complex in his heart, although he has superb martial arts and some identities, although the officials are polite on weekdays, the contempt and ridicule in their eyes cannot be hidden.

Being able to be treated as an ordinary person, Father-in-law Nian was naturally happy, and when he looked at Song Ren's gaze, he also had a little more kindness.

Song Ren didn't notice that Father-in-law Nian's eyes had changed when he looked at him, he looked back at Su Mo, who was still drinking, "Do you want to eat more?" ”

Su Mo put down the flask and shook his head.

Song Ren didn't say much, turned to look at Wang Richun on the side, and ordered: "Divide the prepared food for the hunters, they are very hard, and prepare some more for the tea workers, they are also busy all night." ”

Wang Richun bowed, and then began to lead the tea workers to distribute food to the catchers.

Although the catchers were grateful, they really didn't have much appetite for the corpses that had just been moved.

Yu Guang, who had originally eaten fragrant, was out of curiosity, so he glanced at the corpses that had been moved away.

He was still praising the taste of this steamed egg just now, and suddenly felt that it was not so delicious.

After finishing the meal, Li Zhutou, who had finished counting the corpses, immediately greeted him and said to Yu Guang: "My lord, the count has been completed, a total of twenty-five bandits, all of whom are masked and black, holding sharp weapons, and they cannot confirm their identities for the time being, pending investigation." ”

He concealed that these people might not be the same group, as well as some other discoveries, but he could only report back to Yu Guang in private.

Yu Guang nodded, and introduced to Song Ren: "Brother Song Xian, this is Li Zhutou of the Yamen, Li Mao, this matter is very important, he will be in charge of all matters, there may be something that needs to be asked in the future, let you know it first." ”

With Yu Guang's introduction, Li Mao immediately bowed his hand to Song Ren and said: "Mr. Song, the subordinates just asked Li to convey their gratitude, let the bandits invade the manor, and hurt Mr. Li's life, it was Li's ineffective performance, Mr. did not blame, and prepared food for me, etc., Li Mao really deserved it, and he specially complained to Mr. ”

After speaking, Li Mao bent slightly and took off his hat.

Taking off the hat is a gift of apology.

In fact, the night patrol is in charge of the inspection department, and as a fast shift officer, although they also have to patrol the streets, they can't really blame them for the crime.

Li Mao did this, undoubtedly hoping to win Song Ren's favor, and he also did it for Yu Guang.

In his eyes, these two people are in a gang.

He had examined the corpses, so many bandits were all killed by a sword, and the person who shot it was ruthless and decisive, and he was a top master.

A small master, with no one to support him, how could he find such a strong master to escort him.

Thinking of this, Li Mao glanced at Su Mo with trepidation.

Song Ren hurriedly replied, "How strange is this, it can't be blamed on Li Zhutou, the only thing to blame is that group of ruthless villains, Li Zhutou protects the safety of the people, and it is too late for Song to thank him." ”

These words were said to be profound, but they made Li Mao really feel a little guilty in his heart.

Taking advantage of this gap, Song Ren hurriedly moved his mouth towards Wang Richun, "Tea".

Wang Richun nodded in agreement, turned around and walked to the backyard.

After chatting for a while, Song Ren suddenly smiled and said, "As the so-called after-dinner tea, how can you come to my small tea house without tea?" ”

"Tea!"

"Come on!"

Wang Richun happily brought out the prepared tea tray, and placed the tea set and freshly boiled hot water on it.

The loose tea served in a porcelain dish attracted everyone's attention.

Yu Guang was even more puzzled and asked, "Brother Song Xian, why is this tea not suppressed?" ”

"Lord Yu doesn't know, this is a new brewing method researched by the grass people, you can wait for me to make a pot."

Song Ren said while brewing tea with hot water, and with the overflow of the tea fragrance, it attracted the attention of others.

"It's such a fragrant tea, but how can you brew it directly with boiling water? Don't you need to grind it? ”

When the steaming teacup was placed in front of Yu Guang, he asked in surprise, "This is ready to drink?" ”

Song Ren nodded, "Lord Yu, please." ”

In fact, Song Ren originally wanted to wait for the loose tea to be made, so he would first bring some to Yu Guang for tasting, he needed to borrow the identity and status of Yu Guang to make an endorsement for the new tea.

Since the other party came to the door in person, he naturally couldn't miss the opportunity.

The tea that everyone in the imperial history drinks, it must be good!

In addition to Yu Guang, Song Ren also personally poured a cup for Father-in-law Nian and Li Zhutou, and asked Wang Richun to brew a new pot and distribute it to those fast catchers.

With the propaganda of these people, he believes that when loose tea is introduced, it will be easier for the people to accept it.

Yu Guang raised the teacup curiously, leaned to the tip of his nose and sniffed, the fragrance instantly made him feel that his nose was clear.

He couldn't wait to blow it and took a small sip directly.

After savoring it carefully, Yu Guang's eyes lit up and praised: "Good tea!" The entrance is rich, the aftertaste is endless, Yu has tasted tea for many years, and has never drunk such a refreshing tea, although it is not so cumbersome, reducing a little elegance, but the real taste of tea is brewed out. ”

"Brother Song Xian, I really didn't expect you to have a lot of research in the tea ceremony in addition to poetry!"

Even Father-in-law, who doesn't like to drink tea, nodded at this time, "Our family thinks it's really good." ”

Song Ren smiled so satisfied, but just as he was about to talk to Yu Guang about the endorsement, the sound of a fast horse galloping suddenly came from outside the tea house.

"Report, Yangzhou prefect's card ticket has arrived!"

A red-clothed official hurriedly dismounted, ran straight towards the tea house, and when he heard the words of Yangzhou prefect, he didn't dare to stop him, and let him run into the front yard.

The official knelt in front of the light, holding an official letter in both hands and said: "Lord Yushi, Yangzhou prefect card ticket, please take a look." ”

Yu Guang frowned slightly, and looked at it in front of everyone.

Immediately, his face became a little ugly, and he didn't know if it was because of this card ticket that disturbed the tea tasting Yaxing, or the content of the official document.

He got up and arched his hand towards Song Ren and said, "The prefect of Yangzhou and the general judge are on their way to the Yamen, Brother Song Xian, Yu will say goodbye first." ”

After speaking, Yu Guang also deliberately patted Song Ren's shoulder.

Song Renmu sent the group away, he touched his chin, and felt that the timing of this card ticket was a little coincidental.
