Chapter 127: Desperate for Thoughts
Zhao Guangyuan stayed in the Yamen of the Si Nong Division until noon, and at lunchtime, Huixian Lou sent food, Zhao Guangyuan distributed them to the Si Nong Si and the others, and went to the Huixian Lou by himself.
Huixian Mansion is the third day of entertaining wedding guests today, and it is still full of people. coincided with the noon meal peak, and the door ushered in the delivery, so it was not lively.
"Lord Wang!" The big shopkeeper Jiang Li saw Zhao Guangyuan appear and hurriedly greeted him.
"Hmm." Zhao Guangyuan nodded lightly, entered the first floor, and glanced at it.
In other restaurants, in order to show their identity, dignitaries and nobles are not allowed to enter the non-elegant room, but when they arrive at the Huixian Building, they come on the contrary, and everyone competes to sit in the lobby on the first floor. If you can't sit at the rotary table, you have to sit on the card seat on the first floor. The private room upstairs became a helpless choice for the guests.
On the performance stage on the first floor, the music and dance are beautiful, and the posture of the performers is graceful, and the guests watch it with relish.
Glance upstairs again, the tea seats set up at the barricade on each floor are full of people, one is to look down at the revolving table on the first floor, and the other is to enjoy the song and dance, and it is called an eye to watch.
"King Yue."
They were all guests who came to congratulate on the day of the wedding, and when they saw King Yue, they didn't know anyone, and they greeted each other.
Zhao Guangyuan smiled all the way and nodded in greeting. Seeing Jiang Xuyang beckoning to him on the fourth floor, Zhao Guangyuan was about to go up, and when he saw the turning table on the first floor, Jiang Xiang also stopped him, and Zhao Guangyuan couldn't help but laugh.
gestured to Jiang Xuyang and walked towards Jiang Xiang.
"Master Jiang, Old Lady Sun," and then looked at the man on the other side of Jiang Xiang, "Master Fang." ”
Dingbei Hou Fangsheng, is the emperor's confidant, in charge of the ninth camp of Gyeonggi, garrisoning Gyeonggi, and the second son Fang Zhe Layue is about to be the fifth princess Zhaojia.
Fang Sheng didn't deal much with these princes and grandsons, not to mention that King Yue had been away from the capital for a long time, and nodded at Zhao Guangyuan, "King Yue." Yue Wang ingenuity, this turn table, Ben Hou likes it very much. ”
It's just that the amount of dishes is too small, and I can't enjoy it, so I look at myself left and right, and I stacked the dishes that are arm high, and the guys have taken it once, so I'm embarrassed.
"It's good if Master Hou likes it. I'm just bored in the Imperial Mausoleum, I like to read some idle books to pass the time, and there are always local customs and wild interests in gossip and interests, and I like to ponder. ”
Seeing that there was a person next to Old Lady Sun who had a very discerning seat, Zhao Guangyuan sat next to Old Lady Sun.
And on the left side of Mrs. Sun sat Jiang Xiang, and to the left of Jiang Xiang was Fang Houye.
After hearing this, Mrs. Sun smiled and said, "King Yue's foolish thinking is good, the old man can have the honor to see it, and it will not be in vain to come to the world." ”
He is not like Fang Sheng's martial artist, he obviously eats a lot and feels that eating a small plate and a small plate is not enjoyable, he is old, no matter how good things are, he can't eat more, but he is the best food, this kind of local flavor food, into a small plate and a small plate, the most suitable for his heart, just taste one or two bites, and you can taste dozens or hundreds of delicacies at once, fast.
"Old lady, you look healthier than ordinary young people, and your body and spirit are not as good as this king. Just last night at a palace banquet, the king almost couldn't get out of bed in the morning. ”
Old lady Sun laughed when she heard it, who listened to others praise her for being so unwell?
"That's because you young people don't have moderation, relying on your body to eat and drink. I often don't take it seriously and overdraft my body, and when I get old, I know that I am suffering. ”
"The old lady is right." Zhao Guangyuan responded with a smile, remembering the unpleasantness that happened between Xia Er and Sun Miaoren in the palace last night, and explained, "Yesterday in the palace, the princess said a little too much, and this king will say no to you on his behalf." ”
What happened in the palace last night, Old Lady Sun naturally had someone tell him.
He didn't care and said: "The princess scolded right, if the old man was here last night, I wish there was no granddaughter like her." She is not sensible, she has already learned a lesson at home last night, and this morning the old husband asked her grandmother to take her to the door to ask the princess for her guilt. ”
Zhao Guangyuan was stunned for a moment, "This, a little thing, where is it to the point of asking for guilt." ”
sighed, "This king is in poor health, and he doesn't even want to marry the princess, for fear of delaying her." Not to mention others. ”
A self-reproachful expression made Mrs. Sun feel more and more that her granddaughter was ignorant.
Fang Houye on the side glanced at Zhao Guangyuan with some surprise, thinking of his experience for so many years, he felt a little regretful. Back then, the king of Yue was demoted to guard the mausoleum, and those people were all killed, so he couldn't help but shake his head again.
Jiang Xiang saw that this disciple was becoming more and more humble and low-key, knowing how to hide his edge and win the attention and sympathy of others in a timely manner, and he became more and more satisfied.
Reaching for a glass of wine on the stage, "Come on, drink and drink." I don't know where the king of Yue found such good wine, this red, white, yellow, purple, green, I am dazzled, and this carmine, this amber wine is really beautiful in this glass cup. ”
As soon as Fang Houye heard about the wine, he immediately became interested, straightened his body, and swept it to the stage, those white ones hadn't turned to his eyes, he quickly grabbed a glass of purple wine, took a big sip and took a clean sip, and tasted it, "This wine is so good-looking and delicious, but it's not strong enough." ”
Jiang Xiang glared at him, "It's not strong enough, you still rob it!" How many people are waiting, you drink the most, and no one else can drink. ”
Old lady Sun also snatched a glass from the stage, "I, I'm old, I can't drink too strong wine, but these fruit wines are the most suitable." ”
I don't know where King Yue found so many kinds of wine, not only many varieties, but also many colors, which opened his eyes.
Living until now, I thought that the capital of Daqi was the most prosperous in the world, but once I arrived at the Huixian Tower, I knew that I was lonely and unheard, just the type of wine, this color, I had never heard of.
Zhao Guangyuan drank with them, while glancing at the business in the building, the turntable was full of people, as soon as someone got up, someone immediately filled the seat, and the large table of more than forty people was full. Not only men, but also children and women, which surprised him.
Thinking of the popular Qushui Liuzhen among the Shi clan in the capital, young men and women have fun together, but the tea and wine are replaced by dishes and drinks, which is also a bit similar.
There are big bouquets and flower pots in the middle of the stands, isolating the sight of the opposite side, the capital of Daqi is open, and there are not so many men and women to defend, this glance is gone, almost half of the women on the stage, remembering that Xia Er said that the business of women and children is the best, smiled and shook his head.
He thought that the business of Huixianlou would not be bad, there was a menu he collected in modern times, he changed the eight major dishes once a month, and his rivals couldn't copy them if they wanted to, as well as all kinds of wines that he couldn't find anywhere. I thought business would be good, but I didn't expect it to be so hot. Those in the back kitchen who just prepared and cut vegetables, both hands were almost broken.
But in the past few days, because it is a free hospitality, there are more people, and there is more food, but I don't know if it will still be so popular after five days.
Sent away Fang Hou Ye and Old Lady Sun, Zhao Guangyuan and Jiang Xiang, and Jiang Xuyang to the private room he left on the fifth floor to talk.
Asked about Zhao Guangyuan's recital in the court this morning, Zhao Guangyuan did not hide it from the father and son, and told him his plan......
Jiang Xiang's father and son were silent after hearing this.
"The prince wants to make some achievements, which is very good, but we still have time, everything has to be cautious, especially food is the foundation of the country, there is no room for loss, and the emperor is an official field, and the output is allocated to the palace and the royal family.
Zhao Guangyuan nodded, "I know." I have carefully considered this matter, and there will be no major mistakes. Now that the capital knows that there is no heir behind the king, it is estimated that few people will come to take refuge, if there is no achievement, I am afraid that the king will not be able to enter their eyes. ”
Having a good feeling and sympathy for him and praising what he has done is not the same thing as coming to him with sincerity.
Seeing that King Yue had a plan in his heart, Jiang Xiang's father and son didn't say more, and talked about the court again......
"The prefect of Lizhou is now halfway through, and he should arrive in Beijing in the near future, no matter whether he can clear his name, I'm afraid he won't be able to sit still."
Lizhou is not too far from the capital, and it can be reached in six or seven days by horse, and the carriage has also arrived in half a month. The geographical location is extremely important, and it is the passage from north to south to Beijing.
Previously, the prefect of Lizhou was the prince's person, and later Lizhou was affected by the disaster, and the king of Qin seized the opportunity to replace it with his own people, and now because of the connivance of the people under him, he took the people's land and aroused the anger of the people, and the emperor has ordered him to go to Beijing to defend himself.
"It would be nice if we could replace it with one of us."
Jiang Xuyang sighed deeply, his Jiang family has been suppressed by the emperor all these years, and his younger brother Jiang Wentao can't get any real difference, let alone other clansmen and good friends.
The officials who had been close to them had also been very discerning to stay away from them, but now they wanted to place their own men in key positions, and after looking around, there was no one available.
Zhao Guangyuan tapped his fingers on the table and muttered for a long time, "Maybe there is someone available." ”
"Who?"
Zhao Guangyuan leaned forward and whispered, Jiang Xiang and his son were stunned at first, and then their eyes lit up, "It is indeed the best candidate!" I just don't know if he will appreciate it. ”
"Wait for me to write a book to him first......"
Several people said that they had decided, and they went out of the Huixian Tower one after another and returned to the yamen.
And in the Yue Wangfu, Lin Zhaoxia is also sending people out of the house.
"The princess stays."
"I'll send it again." Lin Zhaoxia held Mrs. Sun's hand and said with a light smile, "I just ate here, so I just took a walk to eliminate my appetite." ”
Old Madam Sun smiled and was held by her, "That old body will also take a walk with the princess, and then take a look at the scenery of this Yue Palace." ”
looked around, quite nostalgic, "In the early years, this was still the palace of the first Jin Dynasty, the first emperor loved the first Jin king, and gave him the largest and best mansion, at that time, in this mansion, there was a small banquet in three days, a big banquet in five days, the scenery was different at four times, and everyone was willing to come here to see the scenery." ”
With the king of the first Jin Dynasty committing a crime and sealing the mansion, this mansion was ruined.
Lin Zhaoxia was a little pity, "It's a pity that I wasn't born decades early." If we want to see the beauty of the past, the prince and I will have to work hard to earn money. Most of the houses have not been repaired. ”
Old Madam Sun laughed, "Don't worry, I heard that someone went to line up early in the fairy building, and it was only a matter of time before the day came in to make money for a position." ”
"Then I'll borrow the old lady's good words."
Mrs. Sun, who took two steps behind, looked around the Yue Wangfu, the place was extremely wide, and the eaves were overlapping and overlapping to see clearly, just in front of them, you could see the elegance of the past, but unfortunately it fell into the hands of this dilapidated prince, and there was no money to repair and close more than half of it.
It's a pity.
looked at his daughter, who was walking with her head down, sighed, and squeezed her hand. Sun Miaoren was pinched and pained, and looked up at her mother blankly, and Mrs. Sun sighed again.
Before I saw Princess Yue, Mrs. Sun felt that her daughter's marriage into the Yue Wangfu was an excellent family affair, and it was a matter if she had no heirs, look at her own house, the heirs were abundant, and she had to deal with her in-laws and concubines, and she had to fight with her husband's woman, and she was so tired that she couldn't wait to be reincarnated again. She really thinks it's good for her daughter to marry King Yue.
If Princess Yue is the kind of country woman who is timid, has no scheming, and can't get on the stage, her daughter being a side concubine is only temporary, and she will soon be able to turn over her head. It doesn't matter if you don't have children, it's important to live a comfortable life.
But after receiving some lessons in the palace yesterday, today the old lady and the old lady escorted their mother and daughter to the door to ask for guilt, and this princess Yue was sincere today, and after saying such a thing from the heart, Mrs. Sun also completely stopped thinking.
The daughter has no chance of winning against such a princess of Yue.
Mrs. Sun was still in a trance until she got into her carriage, and Mrs. Sun glanced at the mother and daughter with their heads hanging and sighed.
"I thought that this princess Yue came from a small place, and it was not as good as the noble girl who had been cultivated since childhood in the big family of the capital, thinking that she would sincerely come to ask for the guilt today, and also thinking that she might be moved, at least she had all the thoughts of the wonderful people, where did she know......"
Where did I know that Princess Yue from this small place did not reveal her words, and bluntly said that she was unwilling to serve a husband with others, and also clearly said that this was what King Yue meant.
And the analysis is the way, it seems that the wonderful person married such an heirless king of Yue, without children, not to mention, he can't even think of living a quiet life, and the future days will be no different from the monks and nuns who are sent to abide by the rules and precepts.
That means that since they are willing to come to the Yue Palace, they are not good at knocking on wooden fish at home?
And the words are not offensive, just like the words of the relatives and family, wholeheartedly planning for the wonderful person, the words are all in the hearts of the people, not only rejecting people, but also making people grateful to her.
The art of speaking is very human.
Miaoren wants to be a side concubine under her, but I'm afraid that it will be like what she said, and she will come to Yue Wangfu to knock on wooden fish.
"Miaoren also stopped thinking about it. Let your mother find a family business for you, our family is there, and no one dares to bully you. ”
Mrs. Sun responded, "Yes." The daughter-in-law will definitely find a family business for the wonderful person. This princess ...... Yue"
"Your father admires King Yue very much, and when this Princess Yue sees her today, she is also a generous and upright person, and she is a good person. Let's have more contacts in the future, and it will be good for her to learn a little bit from Miaoren. ”
Su Miaoren came back to her senses and answered in a low voice. The thought that must be the king of Yue was finally dispersed.
After sending off the three of the Sun family's mother-in-law and grandson, Lin Zhaoxia wanted to go back to the courtyard to rest. Unexpectedly, another guest came to the door.
