After the delivery of the letter, Zhao Wenhua said earnestly: "My words, you can get this kind of grace all depends on the favor of Master Yan. You can be grateful for your kindness."
Seeing the silence and responding, Mr. Zhao smiled and said, "You are the future pillar of the court, but what you should do now is to study hard, strive to be a Jinshi as soon as possible, and be a Hanlin. As for local government affairs, it is very complicated and involves the anti-Japanese war. If you are a child, don't mess around, it's better to worry about us old men."
Silently said with a humble look: "Students should follow the teachings of adults, and focus on reading only the books of sages, and turn a blind eye to the things outside the window." He said sincerely: "I will not cause you any trouble."
Very satisfied with his attitude, Mr. Zhao nodded and smiled, "It's very good." The tone of the conversation changed: "Of course, Your Majesty still has expectations for you. If you don't submit a memorial, the emperor will be disappointed."
Silently said with a panic look on his face: "Please teach me, sir."
"Well... I am not good at interfering in the affairs of the government." Zhao Wenhua made a fuss.
Tang Shunzhi smiled and said, "I have been in the center for a long time and have a lot of luck in my heart. Please help me, my junior nephew."
"That's it." Zhao Wenhua then said reluctantly: "At the end of every month, I will hand you some things that should be reported. You can sort them out and write them into a memorial in your own tone and send them out."
Silence was grateful and said inexplicably: "Thank you for your help."
Tang Shunzhi also smiled and said, "You are the kindness of a kind man from ancient times!"
The two of them blew it, which made Zhao Wenhua happy and couldn't help but smile and said, "Others think that I, Zhao Wenhua, will go back after the sacrifice to the sea. I insist on staying in Zhejiang and doing something to show those who have forgotten!
Tang Shunzhi and Shen Mo looked at each other quickly, and both saw surprise in each other's eyes... I originally thought that this guy was just a stinking wind blowing through Zhejiang, but he was about to turn into a rotten nail and stay here and not leave!
Zhao Wenhua didn't notice their abnormality, and stood up with a smile and said, "Let's go out."
The two separated and bowed and said, "Sir, please." Then they accompanied him to go out to the seat.
Zhao Wenhua went out and looked around. He saw that there were quite a few people coming. After asking, there were a total of 1,084 people. Among these people, some of them were officials who retired from the city, and more were famous Confucian scholars, officials, gentry, and wealthy families in the suburbs.
The reason why Tang Shunzhi had made up these positions shows that Tang Shunzhi had made great efforts. At this time, no one knew what he intended. He just thought that the prefect was so happy that he was unwilling to lose face in front of the imperial envoy.
After the imperial envoy greeted everyone, everyone sat down in a panic. Then the host shouted: "Seat..." The dishes came up like flowing water, nothing more than chicken, duck, fish, and the most valuable thing was a dish of Tianxiang abalone and a pair of pipa shrimps. In fact, there was nothing rare... But everyone couldn't help but swallowed their saliva and had to restrain themselves so that they could not reach out to grab it. It was not that they were in no time, but that everyone had not had half the time since they got up in the morning, and the rice had not yet entered, and it was all supported by bowls of tea and dried fruit candied fruit on the table.
Waiting patiently for the two adults to finish their drinks, everyone started eating like a wind and clouds. When they were hungry, their eating behavior was really not good, which surprised Mr. Zhao and thought to himself: "It is said that in the rich land of Jiangnan, everyone knows etiquette, but they look so gluttonous? They look like the natives in Yunnan." But they don't know that they are all guilty.
The main table where he sat was a few old people, all of them were officials, so his food was naturally much better... Of course, the dishes were not comparable to other tables, but were specially cooked by masters who had cooked for the royal palace. Needless to say, some ordinary dishes were also cooked very well.
What made Zhao Wenhua particularly satisfied was that there were several authentic Yunnan dishes on the table, all of which were placed in front of him. Zhao Wenhua picked up a chopstick and roasted chicken mushrooms, which was as if he was red from Shaoxing's daughter. As he chewed, he felt like he fell into a fairyland, and almost swallowed his tongue.
Try the steamed pork leaves, steamed bamboo leaves, and pickled beef tendons again, which made him cry.
Seeing that the imperial envoy was crying, everyone asked him why. Zhao Wenhua wiped his tears and said, "Where is where, I have been away from my hometown for half a year. I unexpectedly encountered the pure Yunnan flavor here again, and I felt like homesickness for a while."
Everyone accompanied him to sigh for a while, and Minister Zhao asked the chef to the prefect Tang. Tang Shunzhi ordered someone to call him over and ask him on the spot. The chef was very willing and directly became Minister Zhao's servant.
After everyone had eaten and drank for a while, Chen Mo accompanied Chen He toasted at the table. Chen He first toasted thirty tables, then turned his head to say to his son, "Son inherited his father's business..." and then fell drunk. Fortunately, Shen Mo was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and quickly supported him, and sent him to the backyard to rest.
He had no choice but to cheer up and respect the 31st table. After half an hour, he toasted all the remaining seventy tables. Although the wine he drank was 90% water mixed in advance, he couldn't help drinking too much. He felt a dizzy moment and became drunk.
When he woke up, it was already evening. He felt dry and drank a bowl of honey water made of spring flowers. This made him much better... After rubbing his swelling and painful forehead, he went out in silence, but he saw the moon in the sky, the stars were sparse, the cups and plates in the yard were messy, the ground was full of fish bones and the fruit and skin cores. I thought the servants were exhausted, and they had not been cleaned up yet.
He saw someone sitting under the flower trees in the corner of the yard, and walked over with some shaking. It turned out that Mr. Shen was drinking alone.
Mr. Shen asked him to sit down, and saw only beef sauce, fennel beans and oil tofu, a few side dishes, and a small wine pot on the table. He asked quietly, "Are you leaving?"
Mr. Shen nodded and sneered: "When the guests are going home, the shop who invested in the shop, Mr. Zhao also moved into the Shenyuan with the accompaniment of the prefect Tang." As he said that, he poured him a glass of wine and said: "Can you still drink it?"
Silent smiled bitterly and said, "I really drink too much, and I feel uncomfortable when I smell it."
"Then let's talk to the old man." Mr. Shen smiled and said, "Today is your big day, and I'm so happy for you." His smile was very difficult.
Chen Shu asked softly: "Uncle seems a little sad..."
Mr. Shen sighed and said, "Do you know that everything today was discussed with Prefect Tang?" As he said that, he drank a cup of wine, he said with a self-deprecating expression: "If I hadn't had my old face and sent out invitations from house to house, it would be impossible for the prefect to gather so many people."
Chen Si was slightly surprised and said, "Uncle, why are you?"
"Why should I, a Qingliu, who is at home, flatter you so much to a corrupt official?" Mr. Shen smiled desolately, and poured a glass of turbid wine directly on his neat clothes. He stood up in silence and said, "Uncle, you are drunk."
"I'm not drunk." Mr. Shen slowly stood up with his silent shoulder and patted his arm hard, his eyes full of expectation. He wanted to say something, but he felt like a thorn in his throat and could not speak. He had to shake his head and go home with the help of Chen Jing who came to hear the sound.
The night wind brought Mr. Yin's low and desolate voice: "The water of Canglang is clear, so that I can wash my tassels; the water of Canglang is turbid, so that I can wash my feet..."
The next morning, the yard was cleaned up and there was no oil on the ground. Only the faint smell of wine in the air reminded people of yesterday's feast.
Seven tall soldiers stood on the ground that had just been washed away. They were wearing tattered military uniforms and looked at the inspector standing on the steps indifferently.
Silent put his hands behind him and smiled bitterly: "So you will eat mine and live in the future?" These old men were the entourages given to him by the court.
The first one on the left, with a dirty pheasant tail on the hat, was the leader of the seven soldiers. He smiled and said, "Sir, you are always an imperial envoy, and your brothers are also sent from Beijing. The salary and rice are all paid in Beijing. You can't let us go back to Beijing every month." He said, "Or can you tell the Beijing camp and let them send the salary and rice every month."
Chen Si nodded slightly and said, "So I am your parents of food and clothing?"
"My lord is right." The soldiers said with a smile: "We don't have high requirements. Two dry and one thin, just have fish and meat." "If you can give two taels of silver pocket money every month, that would be great." As he said that, he smiled unrestrainedly.
Chen Si laughed and said, "It's so funny."
"Sir, are our statements ridiculous?" Bingtou said with a smile.
He nodded silently and smiled faintly: "If you eat people, you have to be obeyed. Since you treat me as your parents, you have to take it as your son."
A group of big-headed soldiers looked at each other, and they didn't expect that this young boy would have such a big tone. When the soldier saw him so tough, he immediately softened and laughed repeatedly: "We are all rough people, and they don't speak well. Don't care."
Chen and relaxed his expression, "You will know after a long time, I, Chen, are definitely not a petty person. As long as I work well, I have single clothes in summer and cotton jackets in winter, I will never treat you badly." As he said that, he changed his sentence and said, "But anyone who is cheating or committing a crime, immediately put the bed back to your Beijing!" He said, "Did you hear it?"
