Chapter 232 Silence is Gold
The green mountains and buildings outside the mountains, and when will the singing and dancing in West Lake be stopped? Hangzhou has always been known as the three major gold-selling caves in the world, along with Jinling and Yangzhou, with fragile and prosperous and luxurious appearance.
Although Qingyu Tower is not as famous as Louwai Tower and Qingyuan Tower, it is also carved beams and painted buildings, so it is not obvious that it is not weak. At noon, the sun is warm, and several women in fashion and gorgeous clothes are invited by the threshold. They are not hired by the restaurant, but private prostitutes who help the restaurant attract customers, and they are also for their own performance and laughter. This is called "selling customers". It is considered a win-win situation with the restaurant.
When they saw this young master with a healthy servant, they were as beautiful as flowers... Of course, this young man was a little younger, but it was indeed beautiful... the women came without saying a word, and spoke in a sweet voice, but asked the guests to enter the building with them.
Seeing that the adult frowned slightly, Tiezhu waved his hand, and several personal soldiers stepped forward, separated the women, and protected Chen Si and Aman in.
The shopkeeper inside looked sharp-eyed. Seeing that the distinguished guest didn't like this, he quickly stepped forward to repel the women and smiled humbly at the silent and humble voice: "This guest official, the upper floor is already full, but the elegant seat downstairs is also very spacious."
"Then let's go to the hall." Silently smiled, "It's still lively." He pulled Aman to sit down by a table next to the window, and ordered the shopkeeper, "Let's go to a table with good dishes, and a jar of Shaoxing Penglaichun."
As soon as the shopkeeper left, there were blowing robes and singing gong boards to come over and said silently, "No need", and then quickly retreated. Someone held a large tray, holding plates of crabs, roe sheep hooves, wine clams, shrimp glutinous rice balls, braised chicken wings and other foods, and asked, "Master, what kind of 'family style' flavor?" The so-called 'family style' is the air-dried cured flavor made at home.
Silence made Aman pick up a few of the things he liked, and some of them sold wine soaked in Jiangyao, oyster meat turtle feet, crispy snail horseshoe sauce and other seafood flavors, and some of them sold vegetarian cold dishes. Silence knew that, "This is called "before the wine arrives, you should first check the dishes for several dishes, raise a glass, and then serve meat and vegetable dishes." In other words, these dazzling cold dishes are not food, but just to fill the scene before the main dishes come on.
This is a world of extravagance and extravagance. This is a sensation. I don’t like it in my heart and don’t want anything. Fortunately, I dare not disobey the customer’s wishes in the store, so I stopped harassing me when I saw this.
Sitting silently at the window, you could see the door at a glance, waiting for the time of delivering the dishes, but unexpectedly saw a familiar figure, and blurted out: "The eldest son?" His big brother was wearing dark blue armor, with a black cloak hanging on his back, and a foot-long red tassel hanging from a wide-back waist knife. He was wearing cowhide military boots under his very crisp black pants. He was majestic and imposing. He was walking in from outside with a few soldiers carrying jars of wine.
The eldest son also saw the silence and couldn't help but show joy. He whispered a few words to the person beside him, then quickly came up, and smiled silently and joined hands with him, "Why are you free to come to Hangzhou?"
The eldest son smiled and said, "I came with our general. He still went to the inn to find you. He was disappointed."
He looked at the stairs silently and said, "Could it be that General Yu had taken the upper floor?"
"There are also Lord Wang, the prefect of Suzhou, and Lord Wang, the deputy envoy of Su Song's military preparations." The eldest son whispered.
"It seems like I have to visit you." He said silently, and asked Tiezhu and others to accompany Aman to have dinner, and he followed Tiezhu up. At this time, Yu Dayouli also received a report and came down from the building, and said with a hearty smile: "It's really a place to search for it without any effort. Brother Chen is here to invite you."
Chen Si took him up to the second floor and walked into a private room guarded by guards. Suzhou prefect Wang Chonggu and Su Songbing and Ren Huan had been waiting there for a long time to greet Chen Si. They were officials from Nanzhili, and Chen Si was an inspector in Zhejiang, and no one could care about anyone. If he were Su Song's inspector, they would have welcomed him long ago.
After the four adults sat down, they were silent and saw four dried fruits on the big round table, eight cold dishes, ten hot stir-frying dishes, full but almost didn't move. It was obvious that the table had just started. Then they smiled and said, "A few adults have just arrived?"
"I've been here for a long time." Ren Huan, with fair face and extraordinary appearance, said: "It's just that these two men thought the wine in the store was too light, so they asked their personal soldiers to go out to buy wine. The meal has just started."
Wang Chonggu, who was over there, smiled and said, "The signature wine in this store is the 'Liuke Hall'. It is too elegant. It is used by literati and poets to shake their heads and embellish poems and essays. It is not enough to drink. As for 'Qionghua Lu' and 'Broken Bridge Fengyue', it is even more bitter and spicy, and it is more sweet and fragrant. It is the wine that women drink, not the wine that we fight on the battlefield." As he said, he took a beating of the newly bought sauna and said, "It's better, it's spicy and satisfying." It can be seen that even if he was a Jinshi, he would become unrestrained after being on the battlefield for a long time.
He then patted the mud seal and poured it on Yu Dayou and Ren Huan. He was silent but waved his hand and smiled, "I don't have that amount of alcohol. From the bottom, it seems that the lighter the wine, the better." The first time everyone saw him, Wang Chonggu didn't force it, so he let him go.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors, I felt something was wrong when I was silent. Why were these people laughing? While I was full of questions, Yu Dayou put down his wine glass and said, "Two masters, Mr. Shen is a young man and has a long-term plan. He is deeply appreciated by Zhang Butang at that time. Yu is also very impressed. Why would you please ask for advice and listen to his opinions?"
The two of them saw that Chen Si was too young and did not value him at all, but now Yu Dayou said so, but they had to give him face. Wang Chonggu forced himself to smile and said, "It will definitely be of good use to listen to Lord Shen's high opinions." Ren Huan also nodded and echoed: "That's true."
Silent smiled bitterly and said, "General Yu praised it. How could he have any outstanding opinions? At best, it is a bad idea."
"Three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang." Yu Dayou waved his hand and said, "Let me tell me what's going on." Then he told Chen Si that the reason why the three of them came to Hangzhou-
It also has to start with Cao Bangfu taking the initiative in the first month of the year. Jieshu reported the matter first. Although it eventually led to the fall of Zhou Yu, Zhao Wenhua was the one who benefited. However, the complaint against King Zhao, Mr. Zhao, was narrow-minded and loved to hold grudges. While participating in Zhou Yu, he did not forget to bring a copy of Governor Cao and reported to him: "It is easy to take refuge and attack, and it will be later in the army."
The new governor Yang Yi knew the fate of the two exes, so he was careful and flattered Zhao Wenhua every day and obeyed him. Therefore, with Zhao's benefit, he also reported that Cao Bang's assistance was "so he violated the control and was actually a bad horse."
There were examples of two governors and Li Tianchong before, and the government and the people believed that Governor Cao was in danger, and the three generals under their command were inevitably in danger, which was quite unfair.
Yu Dayou sighed and said, "The day before yesterday, we received an order from the Governor's Office, and ordered us to come and report overnight. Who knew that after we arrived, we didn't see Yangbutang at all, so we were directly taken to see Mr. Zhao." As he said, his face gloomy, "Mr. Zhao told me that the Jinyiwei who arrested Mr. Cao would arrive soon. If we don't want to be implicated, we must write the memorial according to his request and accuse Mr. Cao, otherwise..." As he said that, he pounded his thighs hard, picked up the wine cup and drank it on his back, and was in a state of anger and couldn't speak.
Wang Chonggu continued the following sentence: "General Yu means that he will never agree, but we are slight and cannot change anything at all. If we persist, we must follow us and do nothing. But if we turn black and white and act as an accomplice, it is inevitable that the infamy will be made in life after life, which will make people feel embarrassed..." Youdao is that birds of a feather flock together, and those who can sit with Yu Dayou and drink, at least their conscience will not be bad.
After listening to their story, he cursed silently: "Except for being more educated, what is the difference between Zhao Wenhua and the underworld?" But he already knew the dangers of the officialdom, so how could he easily reveal his thoughts? Then he gave Yu Dayou a wink and then kept silent.
Wang Ren and the other two were very disappointed and said to themselves: "Isn't this asking Yu Biao?" Yu Dayou kept silent and stopped asking.
After sitting for a while, he said goodbye and went downstairs in silence. Wang Chonggu and Ren Huan just stood up to express their slightest desire for him. Yu Dayou got up and sent him to the corridor, and smiled apologetically: "These two old Xi'er are good at everything, but they are too sour. Brother Chen, don't mind."
Silently held his hand and sighed, "I can't help my elder brother, maybe things are not as bad as I thought. My elder brother might as well make an optimistic point, maybe it will be calm soon." As he said that, he shook his hand vigorously and said in a deep voice: "Take care." He said very lightly and quickly, "Why didn't you let anyone testify when you were in Governor Zhou?" After that, he floated downstairs.
Yu Dayou also clasped his fists and said, "Take it." He just silently wrote the word "drag" in his palm. With the obscure hint just now, the meaning was unrecognizable - things were not as bad as imagined. After a while, they could turn around.
After returning to the box, the two couldn't help but sarcastically silence, and said that Yu Dayou had misunderstood. However, Yu Dayou said, "Actually, he has given us a reminder."
"I only saw him keep silent, but there was no prompt." Wang Chonggu and the other two said without believing.
"That's the reminder he gave us." Yu Dayou said in a deep voice.
Both of them were not stupid and said, "Silence?"
Yu Dayou nodded and said, "Maybe things are not as bad as imagined. Let's not rush to express our opinions. If you delay, it may be calm soon." He said, "When Zhou Butang was overthrown, I didn't hear anyone else wanted to impeach the book."
