Chapter 164: The Six Kingdoms Come to the Dynasty
The stove room had long expected that Jiang Fuyuan's cooking could not be eaten, and as soon as she left, they immediately waited for her, as long as Zhao Bo gave an order, they immediately began to prepare another meal.
Soon the servant removed the braised carp from the table and replaced it with a new delicacy.
Jiang Fuyuan did not touch the red date lotus seed soup in protest, but poured a glass of wine and sipped it slowly.
Today, the wind is blowing, and it is good to drink some wine to warm up your stomach, and by the way, you can warm up your self-esteem that was hurt by your daughter-in-law.
The two cubs were big ghosts, and they knew that A-Niang had stayed in the stove room for an afternoon, so they asked Uncle Zhao for snacks early to cushion their stomachs and escaped dinner.
Now that the two of them are sitting opposite each other at the table, they might as well be more emotional, Zhong Yongfeng also poured himself a cup and drank it slowly with her.
Huadiao wine is not a strong wine, and it has little stamina, and after the two of them drank a few glasses, Zhong Huifeng only had a faint heat on his face, but Jiang Fuyuan was already half drunk, and there was a bit of confusion in her eyes, which showed that her complexion was extremely amazing.
"Daughter-in-law, you're not good." Her tone was low and seductive, "Don't cheer me on at all, bad." ”
Zhong Yongfeng smiled: "Yes, I'm bad, the little phoenix scolded right." ”
He saw that she was a little drunk, and the amount of alcohol was really not very good.
"I didn't scold you." Jiang Fuyuan muttered dissatisfiedly, "How can I scold you, I am the first person in the world to love my daughter-in-law, and I will never scold my daughter-in-law." ”
"Yes, yes, you're right." Zhong Yongfeng reached out to take the wine glass from her hand, "I scolded myself." ”
Step by step, there is no bottom line.
Jiang Fuyuan raised his hand holding the wine glass, avoiding his hand, and was quite unreasonable and angry: "No, you can't scold yourself!" ”
and the drunkard are the most unreasonable, not to mention that he himself spoils the little phoenix that he is used to, Zhong Jifeng cried and laughed and connived: "What does the little phoenix want?" ”
"You scolded my daughter-in-law, you have to compensate me." Jiang Fuyuan approached him and whispered in his ear, "I want to make amends, do you know, Xuesheng~"
Zhong Yongfeng's earlobes were surrounded by the hot breath she exhaled, and the feeling of numbness went from her ears to the tip of her heart.
He remembered the compensation that the little phoenix in the dream asked for, and instinctively swallowed his saliva.
When it comes to this, he really can't say anything if he doesn't agree, not to mention that he himself wants this award...... Ah no, it's compensation.
When there is no one left or right, he kisses one...... It should be fine, right?
Thinking so, he picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the flower carving, and stepped forward to hold two pieces of red.
After a lot of verbal swords, a shallow bite of the flower carving has long been unknown into whose mouthpiece.
Zhong Jifeng was just about to deepen the battle when a clear young man's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Mu Xiangu! I'm here to get the talisman! ”
It was Ding Zhaoliu's voice.
Zhong Yongfeng was startled, and the two immediately separated.
"Tsk, I forgot the agreement with Ding Shaoqing, and said that he would come to get the talisman tonight." Jiang Fuyuan's drunkenness dissipated without a trace, and his eyes were clear.
Pursing her lips, she patted Zhong Yongfeng's thick chest: "Daughter-in-law, we have to continue another day." ”
Seeing her sober up in a second, Zhong Yongfeng: ......
Little Phoenix is pretending to be drunk at all, right?! He had every reason to suspect that she had been here for the kiss from the beginning.
Uncle Zhao knocked on the door three times outside: "Madam, do you want to invite Ding Shaoqing to wait in the front hall?" ”
This young Dali Temple Shaoqing is an informal master, and when he arrived at the house of an acquaintance, he didn't care about any red tape, and when he heard him say that Jiang Fuyuan was eating in the dining room, he didn't have to report it with a wave of his hand, and went straight to the dining room by himself.
He couldn't stop him.
Alas, I hope it didn't disturb the two-person world of Madame and General Zhong.
Jiang Fuyuan sat back in his position, raised his eyebrows calmly, and said, "No need, let him in." ”
Uncle Zhao answered, opened the door of the dining room, and after Ding Zhaoliu entered, he silently closed the door and retreated.
Ding Zhaoliu didn't notice the charming atmosphere in the room that had not completely dissipated, and when he saw a table of wine and food, he said happily: "Mu Xiangu, Lord Zhong, are you eating?" ”
Zhong Yongfeng coughed and cleared his throat, and greeted in a very formal manner: "I don't know if Ding Shaoqing has dinner, do you want to eat with us?" ”
Ding Zhaoliu was not polite at all, responded boldly, and sat down at the table.
"I've just finished and I'm hungry." He said that he was hungry, but instead of picking up the vegetables first, he picked up a wine glass and poured it for himself, and drank it all with his neck up.
"Ahh He sighed and snorted, "It's worthy of Mu Xiangu's family, this wine is extraordinarily warm to the stomach, and it will dispel all the hard work of the day for me!" ”
Jiang Fuyuan poured it for him again, and asked curiously: "Is Dali Temple so busy?" A whole day without a break? ”
She has the impression that the cases to be managed by Dali Temple are not only the major cases appointed by the emperor, but also the internal cases that the royal family cannot be known to outsiders, so it stands to reason that they should not be so busy.
Ding Zhaoliu sighed lightly when he heard this: "I wasn't busy before, but this time it's not the Six Kingdoms that have come to the court, and there are many more fresh faces in the palace, all of which are envoys and the entourage they brought." When there are more people, there will be more things. ”
Jiang Fuyuan was puzzled: "Isn't it the matter of the Ministry of Etiquette to entertain the envoys?" Why is there such a shortage of manpower in the Ministry of Rites, and even your Dali Temple has to be seconded to it? ”
Ding Zhaoliu shook his head: "We don't care about reception, this matter is complicated and complicated, and it is simple to say simple." ”
"In previous years, several countries came to the DPRK, the distance was far away, and the distance of the carriage and horses was different, so there was always a priority. If you arrive first, you will arrange it first, be closer to Your Majesty, and those who will arrive later will be farther away, and there will always be a stagger. ”
"This year, it is strange that the envoys of the six countries have arrived at about the same time, and the accommodation arrangements have all arrived in one place. Mu Xiangu, you also know that the six countries have their own grievances, and they don't get along peacefully, and they don't know how many good shows they can stage every day. ”
Jiang Fuyuan listened to it with relish, and even poured Ding Zhaoliu a few glasses of wine, urging him to continue.
Ding Zhaoliu saw that she was interested, and the conversation box was completely opened, treating the contradictions between the envoys of the six countries as an interesting matter, and shaking them all off for Jiang Fuyuan to listen to.
"Liang and Cardan are old enemies, the two countries often fought each other in the early years, and now although they have become subordinates of my Dashun, the envoys of the two countries have not said a word more, and they greet each other with their nostrils."
"There is also the Lan Kingdom, who claims to be the eagle on the grassland, but he can't even get a decent tribute, and he has been ridiculed by the envoys of the Maier Kingdom and the Wei Kingdom for a long time."
"Qingguo pays attention to harmony, and the envoy is also a gentle and elegant character, but the wealth of a small country is a crime, Qingguo is said to have brought a lot of treasures to offer this time, and the other five countries are eyeing each other, sour and greedy, and the courtyard of the envoys is hanging around every day."
After saying Qingguo, Ding Zhaoliu sighed a long sigh: "The problem is in Qingguo, they bring a lot of things, but few people come, and the envoys and servants are full of no more than ten people, how can ten pairs of eyes stare at the treasures in the house." ”
"This is not just less than three days into the palace, there was a theft of tribute, our Dali Temple can only be hard to check, where did the three hands come from, dare to hit the idea on the tribute."
"How dare anyone steal tribute?" Zhong Yongfeng frowned, he originally thought that the palace was heavily guarded, and it was the most unlikely place in the world to be stolen.
Ding Zhaoliu raised his eyebrows: "It's not certain whether you steal or not, now it's just Qingguo's words, after all, they even lost the gift list." ”
After talking for a long time, he finally remembered the matter: "These are all gossip, it doesn't matter, Xian Gu, how many ready-made talismans do you have in your hand?" I went to check on the courtyard of the Qingguo envoy today, and when I chatted with him, I talked about Fu Seal, but I didn't expect that he also wanted to buy some self-defense. ”
"They have the money, and they are willing to pay twice the price for the talisman!"
