Chapter 32: It's time for a mission
Full of wine and food, Ximenqing sat on the recliner in the courtyard, enjoying a rare afternoon leisure time. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info He is used to the sneaky glances of those next to him, and when the interest comes, he will also play a set of boxing techniques, tiger and tiger, full of momentum, and provoke those little girls to scream constantly.
When they suddenly found that Ximen Qing was missing in the courtyard, these palace maids looked left and right, looking around, looking for their traces. They only felt a breeze blowing around them, and Ximenqing returned to the recliner. And between the buns on their heads, I don't know when, there were more flowers. This miracle provoked them to chatter constantly~
Ximenqing was a little uncomfortable at this time, just now the strength was too strong, and he used light work, and it was involved in the sore ribs. Ximenqing laughed at himself: Self-inflicted!
The sun was setting, the lights were on, Ximenqing stayed in this courtyard for a day, and when he was bored, Sima Bai came. Ximen was overjoyed and hurriedly followed him to find Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu, who had been busy with the Assassins for a day, was now free to rest, and ordered the imperial dining room to cook a few delicate side dishes, while he himself was already waiting in the pavilion in the old place, the imperial garden.
This pavilion records the comfort of pretending to be a soldier, the boldness of drinking grape wine with Ximenqing, and the miracle of Ximenqing's victory over Sima Bai. Now this is a wonderful place to let go of the burden of the court and enjoy life happily. Zhao Xu retracted his thoughts, because Sima Bai came with Ximenqing.
Looking at Ximen Qing's bumpy pace, looking left and right, unrestrained, Zhao Xu showed his signature smile and greeted Sima Bai and Ximen Qing to sit down quickly.
At this time, the surrounding maids and forbidden soldiers all retreated, and the three of them seemed to have returned to the scene two months ago, and they couldn't help but look at each other and laugh.
Not long after, the imperial dining room sent the dishes over, and Ximen Qing couldn't help but move his appetite when he saw it: there were appetizing sweet and sour pork ribs, fried shrimp with soy sauce, fried beef with small red pepper, boiled beef with white radish, braised pork with honey sauce, dried shrimp and winter melon, colorful mashed potatoes, fried crispy tofu, shredded apples, steamed eggs with slippery tofu, a total of ten exquisite dishes, plus three servings of omelet rice.
As soon as it started, Ximenqing was like a starving ghost reincarnated, swept by the wind and clouds, and ate a lot. Anyway, it's free, and it's a palace dish, so you don't eat it for nothing.
Looking at his indecent appearance, Sima Bai moved his mouth, and finally did not speak, but he also did not move his chopsticks to take a bite. Because the two dishes in front of him were all pulled away by Ximenqing with a bowl, and the remaining few leaves were really difficult for him to eat, so he simply stopped eating.
However, Zhao Xu was enthusiastic about picking vegetables and pouring wine for Ximenqing, and if those ministers saw it, their jaws would definitely drop.
Ximenqing has some conjectures about Zhao Xu's behavior, and he is courteous when he has nothing to do, and he is either a traitor or a thief!
Feeling that he couldn't eat anymore, Ximenqing stopped his chopsticks, burped, and said to Zhao Xu: "I thought of an interesting joke, do you want to hear it?"
"You say it, come and hear it. Zhao Xu looked at him, but what he thought in his heart was whether this guy was a rice bucket?
Ximenqing lowered his head and thought about it, and hummed the lines of those classic sketches according to his memory: "
Palace jade liquor, one hundred and eighty glasses. How's this wine? One cup is appetizing, two cups are not lost in your kidneys, three cups and five cups are delicious, to ensure that your little face is so beautiful~ How about this wine? This wine is really beautiful~ In fact, it is the boiled water mixed with the second pot head!
Look at this dish, there are many heroes, and if you are eighty years old, it is not expensive at all! Come and take a look, taste it with your own mouth, and it will be very crispy in your mouth. If you don't believe it, you taste a piece of crunch not crispy. I ate a piece and chewed it in my mouth, and indeed it was a bit crunchy. Why is it so crispy?Why is he so crispy?~ He's just a big turnip!" After that, Ximenqing also pointed to the half plate of white radish on the table that he didn't move.
This time, not only Zhao Xu, but Sima Bai, who has always been unsmiling, was also amused by Ximenqing after hearing it. This classic line is from the sketch "Part-time Job Adventure", which is a classic that has always been talked about by Zhao Lirong, Gong Hanlin, and Jin Zhu during the Spring Festival in later generations.
"Where did you get these interesting facts? Zhao Xu smiled with a little stomach ache, and said: "Wouldn't it be nice if you usually stayed in the palace, accompanied me, and told some strange things from time to time!"
This is Zhao Xu recruiting Ximenqing, although he gave him his head and waist card last night, but he did not give him any official position, this time it is officially going to appoint him. This is also one of the purposes of Zhao Xu's invitation to Ximenqing to dine in the pavilion this time.
"Aren't all men by your side eunuchs? I don't want to be a eunuch!" Ximenqing reacted very quickly, not only tactfully rejecting Zhao Xu's solicitation, but also not losing face in front of him.
Zhao Xu listened, it was a pity, and said that a talent like you would not enter the palace to bury talents, and that it would be a pity that you did not join the army with martial arts like you~
Of course, Ximenqing was unmoved, what he wanted was a free, unrestrained, and prodigal life like the prodigal son of the rivers and lakes, so he took Zhao Xu's words as a deaf ear, one ear went in, the other ear went out, he smiled, and did not answer.
Zhao Xu found that Ximen Qing was unmoved by his praise, so he stopped nagging: "Since Brother Ximen doesn't want to be an official, then I won't nag anymore."
Sima Bai on the side suddenly interjected: "But the antidote you gave us last time was to help us deal with Western Xia, which shows that you still have your heart for the country; So why not join us?"
Sima Bai didn't ridicule Ximenqing again this time, everything he said came from the bottom of his heart, and he actually said Ximenqing's thoughts and wishes.
Although Sima Bai said the central matter, Ximenqing is the kind of person who slaps his face and becomes fat, of course he can't admit it. He snorted: "I just can't get used to seeing them just face it, secretly using poison, it's too dirty!"
Sima Bai gave him a big white eye, and said that others are dirty, didn't you use 'sad and crisp breeze' at the beginning, so that the plan won me?
Zhao Xu changed the topic and said: "If you don't want to be an official, forget it, I don't force it, but I have a big deal here, it's your old business, do you dare to do it?"
"Is there anything in the world that I Ximenqing dare not do?" Ximenqing sneered and replied.
"Yes, I have heard some rumors here that Chu Fuyan, the secretary of the military department, has some problems, and has frequent contacts with people who do not know the details in private; and someone has reported that this person is greedy for military salaries and takes the lead in violating discipline, so I want to investigate this person thoroughly. However, the evidence is not sufficient to act rashly. So I want to invite Brother Simon to go to his mansion and take a walk~"
"I like this!" Ximen Qing danced with his hands, he was trying to make a vote in the past two days, and this off-the-shelf deal was sent to the door, "When the evidence is yours, the money will be mine!"
