Yan Mansion, family banquet.

Yan Song sat in the first seat, followed by Xu Jie. Lin Haoran came to see the play today, and it was impossible for him to compete with Yan Shifan, so he obediently sat at the end and waited quietly for the show to be staged.

Bah!

Yan Shifan spit a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground, but sat down opposite Xu Jie.

As if the whole world owed him money, he sat there drinking with a stinky face, and looked at the hospitable father, and even more unpleasant to look at the two people at the same table who stabbed him.

He had already made up his mind in his heart that as long as he survived this hurdle, the first thing he would do when he returned to the cabinet was to clean up these two people properly. first drove Xu Huating back to his hometown in Songjiang, and then sent Lin Ruoyu to a place, so that these two would never turn over.

The wine is a high-quality wine, and the dishes are also varied, and the Yanfu family banquet is extraordinary.

Yan Song's age no longer allowed him to have such complicated thoughts, and after beckoning Xu Jie and Lin Haoran to eat, he also slowly picked up a piece of soy tofu.

Due to the loss of teeth, it is impossible to eat meat in large pieces, but it is the pickles that love Liubiju alone, and the piece of soy tofu is sent to the mouth, which seems to be chewed with taste, and finally stops the chopsticks and sighs: "This pickle in the capital is the best in Liubiju!" ”

As the saying goes: seven things to open the door: firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and tea. Since the store does not sell tea, it is six of the seven, so it is named: Liubiju.

Yan Song's teeth are not good as he grows older, and because he follows the holy monk's path, he gradually rarely chews meat anymore, but he prefers pickles, and has a soft spot for pickles in Liubiju.

At the request of the shopkeeper, he also gave an inscription to Liubiju, which made Liubiju quite famous in Beijing.

But I don't know if it's from the heart, or if it means something, Yan Song seems to be heartfelt to the two of them and recommends Liubiju pickles.

"Truly! Previously, Xiaguan had been eating pickles from other families, but since he had eaten Liubiju sauce tea, he had to be Liubiju! Xu Jie just put a piece of pickle in his mouth, revealing an intoxicated expression.

Lin Haoran has become a carnivore since he experienced the hard days in Changlin Village, and he must eat meat at every meal, but he doesn't even glance at the pickles on the table. I was putting a piece of venison in my mouth, but I found that the topic was pickles, and it was only then that I realized that there were indeed a few plates of various pickles on the table.

In the past, even if he was not the protagonist, he was still an important role, where did he sit in the last seat like today. He was about to reduce his sense of presence and pass the test with an expression of approval, but he found that Yan Song was looking at him.

Lin Haoran faced Yan Song's gaze, smiled with meat in his mouth, but was ruthless in his heart, swallowed the slightly large piece of venison directly into his stomach, and said lightly: "Don't hide it from Lord Yuanfu, there are several jars of Liubiju pickles stored in Xiaguan's house, and this pickle is indeed very delicious!" ”

It is true that there are indeed a few jars of pickles stored at home, but they have been left there since they bought them, and their family does not like to eat pickles at all. Except that Wu Qiuyu may eat a little, he and Hu Niu are both carnivores.

It's just that the top is good, and the bottom must be very bad, and he naturally became a loyal fan of Liubiju pickles like Xu Jie.

"Huh...... If you all like it! Yan Song laughed happily, but suddenly said with infinite regret: "It's just a pity, if you want to eat such a good pickle in the future, I'm afraid it's difficult!" ”

This......

Lin Haoran really wanted to spit out the venison that had been swallowed into his stomach before eating, but he dared to love that this was not just chatting, nor was it to express how attractive Liubiju pickles were, but to make a kind of temptation.

The bright face is talking about Liubiju pickles, but in essence, he is expressing to the two that he is about to leave Beijing and return to Jiangxi, and he is no longer attached to the position of the first assistant.

Xu Jie naturally heard the voice-over, but said with a straight face: "Lord Yuanfu, Xiao Ge Lao sometimes does things inappropriately, and it is really inappropriate to drink and have fun during the period of filial piety. It's just that someone accused Xiaoge Lao of being corrupt and bending the law, and the lower officials categorically didn't believe it! ”

Unbelief...... Your sister!

Lin Haoran didn't dare to put the venison in his mouth again, but dealt with the loveless pickled cucumber in front of him with tears, and found that Xu Jie glanced at him, and he already regarded him as the "culprit", and couldn't help but curse secretly in his heart.

If you talk about the degree of hypocrisy, there is no doubt about Xu Jie. Obviously, he instigated Zou Yinglong to use "corruption and perversion of the law" to make trouble. Now that he is being preempted by himself, he has become a defender.

Xu Jie, like a loyal subordinate, looked at Yan Song affectionately and said, "Lord Yuanfu, you have been in power for many years, and you have made remarkable achievements, which has given the Ming Dynasty the image of prosperity." Although there are villains now, but the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty still have to be commanded by you, and the emperor still trusts you, you must not be so pessimistic! ”

It's a temptation again!

Lin Haoran put a piece of pickled cucumber in his mouth, and despite the saltiness, he shook his head lightly and swallowed it.

"It's old, it's useless!" Yan Song waved his hand firmly, and immediately asked, "Zisheng, you have a good time with the old man!" The emperor summoned you today, what did he tell you, don't hide it! ”

After holding back for most of the day, Yan Song still asked what he was most concerned about. In the past, he was the one who controlled the "way of speech", but now the emperor avoids him, causing him to become "blind" like most officials.

Yan Shifan no longer put on that stinky face, stopped his wine glass, and looked at Xu Jie with concern.

Lin Haoran came here cheekily, just to watch this good show, and he also quietly fell his eyes on Xu Jie, and at the same time wanted to know what the emperor said.

"Lord Yuanfu, how dare the lower officials hide it!" Xu Jie immediately put down his chopsticks and replied with a heartfelt expression.

Yan Song nodded with satisfaction, as if he was saying that he had not mistaken Xu Jie.

Xu Jie's whole train of thought was about to tell what happened, but he glanced at the left and right vigilantly, and then took out the note from his sleeve, and respectfully handed it to Yan Song: "This is Zhang Hongtu's note, and I ask Lord Yuanfu to decide, how to vote!" ”

This......

Seeing that Xu Jie actually took Song Shu out of the palace and handed it over to Yan Song. Not to mention Yan Shifan, even Lin Haoran widened his eyes, and he couldn't imagine that Xu Jie would do this.

If he didn't know that Xu Jie's relationship with Yan Song had been fighting openly and secretly, and that he was the one in the entire court who wanted to bring down Yan Song the most, he would probably think that Xu Jie had always been Yan Song's little brother.

You know, this is a very significant vote. If it was really manipulated by the Yan family, and the spearhead was not pointed at Yan Shifan, then if Yan Song could get through this hurdle unharmed.

After the shock, Yan Shifan and Lin Haoran turned their heads to look at Yan Song, but they wanted to see how Yan Song would decide, and how he would propose to vote for this note.
