Chapter 645: The Gap
Watching the Turkic envoys retreat to the side, almost all the Tang courtiers breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Xiao Han knew that the Turkic envoy was naturally not a conscience discovery by doing this! Because from his angle, he happened to be able to see that at the moment when Pei Lin shook hands with him just now, there was an extra piece of colorful thing in the messenger's hand.
Looking up at Pei Lian, who was slowly retreating from the team, Xiao Han sighed in his heart.
Sure enough, in this world, no one can casually ascend to a high position!
Pei Lin may not know how to fight and deal with national affairs! But when Li Yuan, or Datang, wants to lose face! Among so many ministers, he is the only one who can easily resolve the matter.
Next, the process of the Yuan Day Ceremony was inexplicably sped up a lot, and the things that should have been tossed for a day ended hastily just after noon.
After all, being made such a fuss by the Turkic envoys, neither Li Yuan nor the people in the Ministry of Rites were in the mood to continue.
burned the congratulatory watch of the sacrifice to the sky, and in a wisp of green smoke, the news that the waiter of the Ministry of Rites announced the end of the Yuan Day ceremony made Xiao Han, who had been standing all morning, also breathe a sigh of relief.
The minister walked out of the hall in silence, all of them looked preoccupied, Xiao Han vaguely heard Xiao Lizi shouting to himself, but the scene was too chaotic at that time, and before he could turn around, the people had already been crowded out of the Taiji Hall by the minister next to him.
Out of the warm palace, the cold wind mixed with light snow outside made Xiao Han shiver violently.
When I looked up, I didn't know when it had snowed outside.
Thin snowflakes fell from the sky one after another, and the steps under their feet were paved white, but as soon as the wind blew, the thin layer of snow was blown up, revealing the original stone color.
"Xiao Han!"
Just when Xiao Han tightened up, someone behind him shouted at him.
"Brother Chai?" Xiao Han followed the voice and looked back, but found that it was Chai Shao who had just left the palace gate and was walking towards him at this time.
"Let's go, go out for a drink or two!" When he came to Xiao Han's side, Chai Shao, who had always been optimistic, turned out to have a gloomy face, and grabbed Xiao Han's arm and was about to go down the steps.
Xiao Han was reluctant to go, because he still wanted to visit Xue Pan today.
However, seeing Chai Shao's ugly face, these words swirled in his mouth, and he didn't say it after all.
was half-pushed out of the palace gate by Chai Shao, Xiao Han just got into the carriage, but he didn't expect Liu Hongji and Duan Zhixuan to catch up.
A few people didn't say anything after seeing it, as if they had discussed it before, they got on their horses and followed Xiao Han.
"Hey, where are you going? My home? Your home? Looking at Chai Shao, who was leading the way, Xiao Han shouted loudly in the carriage.
Chai Shao, who was riding a horse, paused when he heard the sound, but soon continued to move forward.
"Don't be so troublesome, didn't you say a while ago that the restaurant you bought opened for a while? Just go there! ”
"Go there? Big brother, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year! Can there be someone there? ”
Xiao Han shouted again, but Chai Shao didn't bother to answer.
Xiaodong, who was driving the car, explained in a low voice: "Master Hou, the restaurant, the teahouse and... Well, the Qinglou is not closed for the New Year! ”
"So?" Xiao Han just asked casually, and when he heard that there were people there, he didn't say anything more, where to eat or not?
Xiao Han's restaurant is in Pingkangfang, which is very close to the palace! It took only a cup of tea for a few of them to arrive at the door.
Xiao Er, who was leaning on the door to watch the snow scene, saw Xiao Dong and stunned from a distance, he knew these two people, and when he saw this posture, he naturally knew that the owner was coming, so he quickly straightened up, put the towel on his shoulder, and greeted him with a slippery one.
Chai Shao never treated himself as an outsider when he was with Xiao Han, got off the horse, stuffed the reins into the little second-hand, and opened his mouth to ask: "Little Er, is there anyone on the third floor?" ”
That Xiao Er is also a clever person, looking at Chai Shao in a purple robe, I don't know if this is a big official?
Hurriedly took the reins and nodded and replied: "Back to my lord's words, the third floor was specially set aside by the owner, and it never received outsiders, so it has been empty." ”
"Oh?" Chai Shao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but he was immediately relieved.
With Xiao Han's ability, opening this restaurant is not to make money at all, so it is not surprising that there are some strange rules.
"Let's go, let's go in! What are you doing outside? ”
At this time, Xiao Han in the carriage also jumped down, saw Chai Shao standing at the door, muttered, and together with Liu Hongji and Duan Zhixuan, pushed Chai Shao into the restaurant.
In the restaurant, because it has passed lunch, there are only two or three tables of guests in the huge hall on the first floor, no wonder Xiao Er is so idle just now.
The few people who were eating in the house also saw Xiao Han and them, they were startled at first, and then quickly lowered their heads, and even the sound of conversation disappeared instantly, and when Xiao Han went upstairs, they looked at the staircase with envy.
Xiao Han and the others ignored these people's gazes, or they were used to this situation now.
When I came to the familiar room on the third floor, I just pushed the door in, and the flattering shopkeeper in the back followed.
"Adults, proprietors! Would you like to have some tea or some food today? ”
Lao Hu, who successfully demoted from the boss to the shopkeeper, was smiling at this time! I can't see the miserable appearance of being pressed by these goods to sell the restaurant for 250 yuan!
This, naturally, is not pretended!
Although he was not bad when he was the boss, it wasn't until Xiao Han took over that he knew that he could still play like this in a restaurant that he had worked in all his life!
Wine? It is the best wine from Xiao Fu! The dish is a cooking method that has never been seen before! Even this table, chair and bench is brand new!
Just with these things, a few days before the opening, people almost broke the threshold of the restaurant, and later the price rose several times in a row to control the flow of people.
"Hey, what do you think? Get some meat, and a few pounds of good wine, be fast, and be hungry! ”
Just when Shopkeeper Hu was still thinking nonsense, Liu Hongji's loud voice sounded in his ears, almost startling him!
"Oh, okay! Coming soon! ”
Shopkeeper Hu reacted very quickly, and in an instant, he agreed with a smile.
At this time, he also saw that these masters seemed to be a little unhappy today, although he didn't know who left these people to block on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
But he didn't want people to sprinkle the anger on his head, so after agreeing, he hurriedly retreated, ready to order the back kitchen to put other people's dishes first, and serve them at the host's table first!
The room was closed by the shopkeeper, and only Xiao Han was left in the room.
However, unlike the previous few people who got together and bragged, today in the room, several people were full of resentment, and no one spoke first.
Xiao Han sat on a chair and looked at the other three, and after a while he sighed and comforted: "Hey, don't keep your face tight, that stupid messenger is not here!" You put on a stinky face here, and people can't see it! But to be honest, just now in the court, I'm really afraid that you can't help but go up and beat him! ”
"Beat him?"
Liu Hongji, who has the most fiery personality, heard Xiao Han speak, and Pu Fan's big hand slapped the table heavily, almost slapping Xiao Han's Huanghuali table with a handprint!
"Phew! If our Tang Dynasty has the strength to fight with the Turks, Lao Tzu will definitely strangle him today! Also Ashina! Don't beat his out, Lao Liu, I have his surname! ”
Xiao Han heard Liu Hongji's angry words, tried to withdraw his gaze from his precious table, looked at him in surprise and asked, "Isn't it, we don't even have the strength to fight with others now?" ”
