Then the servant came to the treasury of the Prime Minister's Mansion. After some careful searching, a dagger was found, and the servant arrived with it. In the meeting hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Then the servant handed the dagger to Zhuge Liang with a flat face.
After Zhuge Liang took the dagger, he gently scraped off the sealed layer of oil wax. After scraping off this layer of oil wax, Zhuge Liang opened the lid of the wooden box. Soon, a booklet in the shape of a fold appeared in sight.
After looking at it carefully, Zhuge Liang said to Wei Zhongxian with a smile: "There is nothing wrong with what His Majesty Gonggong Wei wants to give me. ”
"Since the check is correct, the miscellaneous family left the palace first, and there are still some things waiting for the miscellaneous family to go back to deal with, so I will stay for a short time." Wei Zhongxian said to Zhuge Liang with a smile.
"Then Father-in-law Wei, I won't be far away."
"Lord Zhuge please stay, I know you are busy with official business, so you don't have to send me." Wei Zhongxian said to Zhuge Liang in a flat tone.
Then Zhuge Liang watched Wei Zhongxian leave the Prime Minister's Mansion. Immediately afterwards, Zhuge Liang said to his servant with a smile: "You immediately take my prayer post to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion to find Pang Shiyuan, and say that I have something important to find him." ”
"Yes, I'll do it, little one." After saying the name, the servants in Zhuge Liang's mansion went to Zhuge Liang's study to get a prayer post, and then rushed towards the right prime minister's mansion.
After walking about a stick of incense, the servant in Zhuge Liang's mansion came to the right prime minister's mansion.
At this time, the door of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion was opened, and the servant of Zhuge Liang's Mansion was ready to enter the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.
But when he was about to walk in directly, he was stopped by the porter who wanted the prime minister's mansion.
Then the porter of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion smiled and said to the servant of Zhuge Liang's Mansion: "Who are you?" Why is it here? Don't you know what this place is, and this place is also what you want to enter. ”
"I have been commissioned by my master to come to you to find your master. Please let me know. ”
"There is no evidence, what proof do you have to prove that you have come to meet my master." The porter asked the servant of Zhuge Liang's mansion with a smile.
"This is a message that my master asked me to hand over to your master." After speaking, the servant of Zhuge Liang's mansion handed over a piece of paper to the porter.
After receiving this post, the porter of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion said to the servant with a smile: "Please wait a while, and I will report to my master." ”
After speaking, the porter of the right prime minister's mansion walked into the mansion with Zhuge Liang's greeting post.
After about a cup of tea, the porter of the right prime minister's mansion saw Pang Tong with a prayer post.
After Pang Tong saw this person, he asked this person with a smile: "Ah Fu, is there something wrong with you coming to me in such a hurry?" ”
"There is a man outside the master who holds a prayer note and says he wants to see you." Ah Fu replied to Pang Tong in a respectful tone.
"And where is that prayer now?"
"If you return to the master, this prayer is in my hands." After saying that, Ah Fu put this prayer post
It was transferred to Pang Tong.
Then Pang Tong took the letter of worship that Ah Fu handed him and looked at it carefully. Then Pang Tong said to Ah Fu in a hurried tone: "Ah Fu go and invite that person in." ”
"It's the master, I'm going to go and get that person in." After saying that, Ah Fu trotted back to the gate of the right prime minister's mansion.
Then Ah Fu saw the person before, and then said to the person with a smile: "My master invites you in." After speaking, Ah Fu took this person and approached the right prime minister's mansion.
Soon the servant in Zhuge Liang's mansion saw Pang Tong, and then Ah Fu said respectfully to Pang Tong: "Master, the person you want to see, I have already helped you bring him in." ”
"Okay, I know, Ah Fu, you can go down first!" Pang Tong said to Ah Fu with a smile.
"Yes, master." After speaking, Ah Fu left the meeting hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
After Ah Fu left, Pang Tong said to the servant in Zhuge Liang's mansion with a smile: "Are you in such a hurry to see me as your master?" ”
"If you go back to the big man, my master will ask you to come over to discuss it, saying that there is something important to discuss." The servant of Zhuge Liang's mansion said to Pang Tong in a respectful tone.
"Did your master tell me what the hell was going on?" Pang Tong asked the servant of Zhuge Liang's mansion unsatisfactorily.
"My master just ordered, saying that there was a consultation, but he didn't tell me what was the matter, so please ask a huge person to follow me to see my master, and you should know when the time comes."
"Okay! I see, so let me change my clothes first! Pang Tong said with a smile to the servant of Zhuge Liang's mansion.
"Then I'll wait for the big people here." The servant of Zhuge Liang's mansion replied to Pang Tong in a respectful tone.
"You don't have to, just go back and tell your master first, I'll go find him soon."
"Okay, then the little one will go back first and report to my master." After speaking, the servant of Zhuge Liang's mansion returned the same way.
After about a stick of incense, the servant returned to Zhuge Liang's mansion.
Soon the servant saw Zhuge Liang again, and then said to Zhuge Liang respectfully: "Master, what you told me to do has been done, and the huge man said that he will come over soon." ”
"I know, you go down first, and remember to go to the account office to get a tael of silver, and say that I will reward you. If Mr. Bookkeeper doesn't give it to you, then you let him come to me, and I'll explain it to him personally. ”
"The little one thanks the master for the reward." Zhuge Liang's servant thanked Zhuge Liang respectfully.
"Okay, you go down first, and remember to tell the kitchen to prepare some wine and food. And remember to take out a jar of my treasured home-brewed wine, and I'll have to drink it with a huge crowd later. ”
"Yes, master, I'll go and command the kitchen." After saying that, Zhuge Liang's servant left happily.
Soon the servant came to the kitchen again, and when the kitchen steward saw the servant, he smiled at the servant and asked, "Alin, is there any reason why you have come?" ”
"The master has asked me to instruct you to prepare some good wine and food, and then the master may have to entertain your guests. There is also the master's treasured wine to brew, take out a jar of warm and wait for the master to use.
Alin said with a smile to the kitchen steward.
"Okay, I know, you can go back first! But I wondered who the host was going to entertain, and how he could get the host to entertain him with his own treasured wine. The kitchen steward asked Arin curiously.
"What the master wants to entertain is a huge number of right prime ministers who are officials in the same dynasty as him." Alin replied to the kitchen steward with an indifferent face.
"It's no wonder that grandpa is reluctant to take out his own collection of fine wines to entertain them when guests come, and it turns out that the good wines that my grandfather treasures are here to entertain huge people." The kitchen steward said to Arin with a smile.
"Steward Lin, if there is nothing to do, I will leave first, and I will go to petition to receive some rewards." After saying that, Alin excitedly left the kitchen and walked in the direction of the bookkeeper.
And Steward Lin hurriedly ordered the people in the kitchen to get busy after Alin left. He himself personally led people in the direction of the storehouse.
Soon, Steward Lin took his two helpers to the underground cellar of the warehouse.
Then the forest steward asked the two helpers to open the entrance to the underground wine cellar. Soon the two helpers removed the large stone that was blocking the entrance to the underground cellar.
Immediately afterwards, Steward Lin took away the plank again. Then Steward Lin said to the two helpers, "You two go down with me and bring up a jar of the master's treasured family brew." ”
"Yes, Steward Lin." The two helpers said respectfully to Steward Lin.
After speaking, the three of them walked into the underground wine cellar, and in the underground wine cellar in Zhuge Liang's mansion, hundreds of jars of aged wine were treasured. Soon, even though he took the other two people to a jar of the best tasting wine.
Then Steward Lin asked one of the helpers to take the jar of wine, and then said to the other helper, "Go and bring the jar of wine over there." After saying that, the helper walked in the direction that Steward Lin pointed to, and then the helper took the jar of wine.
After everything was done, he smiled at the two helpers and said, "Let's hurry up, maybe the lord's distinguished guests are almost here, if the wine is not delivered to the lord and them in time, then we can't afford to blame the others." ”
Then the three men walked up quickly, and the two helpers put down and sealed the entrance to the cellar again.
After doing all this, the three of them left the storeroom.
After leaving the warehouse, the three of them returned to the kitchen, and then Steward Lin said to the two helpers with a smile: "Go and warm the wine, if it is delayed, you can't afford it." ”
"Yes, I'll do it with Steward Lin." The two helpers replied to Steward Lin in unison.
"Let's go and see how their dishes are prepared?" After saying that, Steward Lin walked towards the interior of the kitchen.
Soon Steward Lin came to them, and then Steward Lin asked these people with a smile, "Master Ding, how are the dishes prepared?" These dishes are all used by the lord to entertain distinguished guests. If you delay, you can't afford to suffer. ”
"We have almost prepared the wine and food that Steward Lin should prepare, but there are still a few dishes that have not been prepared yet." Master Ding said to Steward Lin with a smile.
"Then let's do it as soon as possible!"
