Chapter 502: The entire capital knows
Qi Wangfu
In the evening, a person came out of the back door of the Qi Palace, this person was about forty years old, of medium stature, wearing half-new cotton clothes, but a closer look can be seen that just the deerskin boots worn by the steward are already expensive, and wearing cotton clothes is nothing more than a low-key show to the master above.
The extra money he gets from everywhere every month alone is far more than the monthly money, so every evening, when he is fine, he is willing to take some silver and go to the gambling house to gamble a few handfuls, and then go to the Qinglou to find a girl to have fun.
It's the same today, but he didn't go far before he was stopped by a person, who threw his hand at him and said, "You are Steward Chen, right?"
"It's me, who are you?" Steward Chen was stunned and asked.
It seems that half of the person's face is covered by a leather hat and a leather robe, and it is impossible to see who it is.
The person who came looked very respectful, and handed over a purse directly: "That's right, this is ten taels of silver, my lord said it was given to you, thank you for helping last time." ”
Seeing that Steward Chen was still a little stunned, he forced the purse into his hand and left directly.
"Hey, wait! your lord......"
Who is your master, pinched the purse in his hand, bulging the bag, his hand was heavy, opened it to see, sure enough, it was two silver ingots of five taels, and he had the heart to ask who the master was, but when he looked up, he found that the person had already gone away.
"This is strange, who gave the gift?" Although thinking like this, Steward Chen still put the purse in his arms and continued to walk, he was the steward of the palace, and there were many flatterers, maybe he was a person who wanted to make a good relationship.
What are you afraid of, just take it, the dignified Qi Palace, what else can't be taken, can't be pocketed?
Because of today's ten taels of silver for no reason, he didn't want to go to the gambling house, but went directly to the Qinglou with a good relationship, this place is not the property of the King of Qi, but because he is the manager of the King of Qi, he also has some face here, the old bustard saw him from afar, and immediately pulled him in enthusiastically, and let a few young women accompany him.
Because of the recent lack of physical strength, I don't plan to do anything else, as long as I have a table of wine and food, on the first floor, accompanied by a good girl, eating and drinking, it is quite happy.
Raising his head to drink, Steward Chen smacked his lips: "You have got all the high-grade Chunlu tribute wine, it has a lot to do with it!"
Authentic Chunlu Tribute Liquor, it is said that there is only one well for water, and only 17 acres of land are used for rice, which is exclusively for Ouchi, and it is extremely rare for the people, so they don't want to flow out.
The girl smiled and did not answer, and Steward Chen did not care, and at this moment, several people who came down from the upper floor passed by and were talking.
"Here is a confidante and empathetic. A person said: "If you want to say that the dishes are not actually top-notch, there are several unique ones in the capital, and the seafood restaurant of Daihou is new, I am afraid that there will be a must." ”
"It should be said that there is this potential, it is indeed fresh, it is indeed tender, but if you taste it carefully, I am afraid that it is not as good as Tianguanglou in terms of craftsmanship. ”
"It's just a new opening, this cooking skill is also practiced, after a year and a half, I'm afraid it's okay. ”
Because of the mention of "Daihou", Steward Chen's face suddenly sank, and several people knew his intentions, and continued.
"This time I went to the Daihou Wenhui, there must also be a seafood banquet, I heard that Yao Xun and Yu Zheng were also invited, these two are both calligraphy and painting masters, and they also have attainments in piano and chess. ”
"Yes, my cousin received an invitation, he has always admired Yao Xun, and he knew that he could see Yao Xun at the literary meeting, but he was very happy. ”
"Daihou is the champion in the end, he is a scholar, and it is not surprising that he can invite these people......
The discussion of these people was clearly heard by Steward Chen, he should not have expressed his opinion, after all, he was only in charge, and the master did not instruct the matter, so he could not make decisions without authorization, but when he heard the words "Daihou" and "Wenhui", suddenly, he had an irrepressible disgust, snapped, put the chopsticks on the table, and said in a gloomy voice: "Go to the Wenhui of Daihou, presumably I don't want to go to the Wenhui of King Qi?"
This sound directly overwhelmed the voices of several people, and the content was terrifying, which frightened several readers.
Several of them looked at each other, because they liked to come here for recreation, they were all from very good families, and some of them recognized that the person in front of them seemed to be a steward of the Qi Palace, thinking of what they had just said, their faces suddenly turned bitter, and they wanted to explain, but they didn't know how to explain.
As soon as Steward Chen spoke, he realized that he had said the wrong thing, and without the instructions of his master, how could he speak on behalf of the Qi Palace, and he was annoyed in his heart.
But what he had already said was like water spilled out, and he couldn't explain it to a few more people in front of the woman he was like, so he could only deliberately keep a dark face, and continue to drink and eat vegetables there, looking too lazy to pay attention to a few people.
These people were afraid that their words would cause trouble for their families, so they hurriedly slipped away.
When Steward Chen was full of wine and food, threw away the silver, walked out of the Qinglou, and was quiet for a while, a few tables of guests, and then he banged and whispered again.
"It turns out that there is really no harmony between the Daihou and the King of Qi?
"One of my fellow villagers agreed to this cultural meeting, and I have to go back immediately and persuade him to resign immediately!"
"Me too, my cousin also agreed to go to the Wen Hui of the Marquis, and I have to persuade him not to get involved in this kind of dumping!"
There is a way that immortals fight, mortals suffer, a prince, a prince, two powerful people fight, they are ordinary people, but they can't be involved and become cannon fodder.
A few people were in a hurry at the moment, left the table to pay and left, but a few people showed dissatisfaction and sighed: "The prince is the son of the prince, and the prince is the eldest son, and he is the chief of the kings." ”
"Now that the Daihou has been to the people for eighteen years, it is not easy to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, not to mention loving his nephews, so he can't wait to tear his face and hatred?"
"Where is the ethics, where is the filial piety, where is the brother, the friend and the brother?"
This person probably drank too much, shook his head, and grabbed the person at the table in fright, and whispered: "You drank too much wine, can you comment on this matter?"
"Why don't you come with me to blow the wind?"
Waiting to see these people leaving, the Yedao people also got up and walked out of the Qinglou, and a few seemingly ordinary people followed, so they whispered: "You go to Taixue, the teahouse, and the storytelling office, and tell this matter casually." ”
"I want the whole capital to know within two or three days. ”
Saying this, the wild Taoist couldn't help frowning, now what the Daihou wants is to be famous, and to smoothly complete the Wenhui, so that it will be integrated into the capital, but the lord is operating the opposite, what is the purpose of this?
It's really unfathomable!
As for the words of the steward, he was used to it, and he didn't dare to think about it.
"Or maybe that's what destiny does!"
