Chapter 196: Debt Collection (For Happiness)

Zhao Zhen's car drove away, and Wang Anshi and Zai Fu walked out together.

There's not much to see in this weather, and no one wants to stay longer.

Not far ahead, Shen An stood there, surrounded by a group of colorless messengers.

Shen An said to Zhi Kexing: "Your archery skills are still a little less interesting. ”

it!

The archery skills of these three arrows hitting the heart are not good enough?

Are you bragging?!

Zhi Kexing bowed his head slightly, waiting for the teaching.

Shen An looked at the void with his hands in his hand, frowned slightly, and said: "When you only have the arrow target in your eyes, this is the first realm, this realm seems to be good, but it is still a lot worse." ”

The Zaifu couldn't help but laugh, thinking to themselves where this guy knew what archery skills were, that is, to coax these foreign envoys.

Shen An didn't see them, he felt that he was standing on top of the peak of thousands of feet, and there were thousands of laypeople at his feet.

Life is lonely!

He said lightly: "The second realm is that there are arrows in your hands, no arrows in your heart, and you are as light as you lift weight." ”

Hey!

Everyone felt that this was a bit mysterious, and they thought it was a trick, but someone said: "There is an arrow in your hand, but there is no arrow in your heart, that is, aim with your heart, high!" Tall! ”

Zhi Kexing looked at Shen An with a look of adoration, and felt that what he said was really right.

Those sharpshooters really don't need to deliberately aim, after a thousand tempers, they only need to glance at the target, and then release the arrow in their hands, and they can hit the target.

Could it be that Brother Anbei is a hidden archer?

Zhi Kexing remembered the miserable results on Shen An's arrow target every morning, and couldn't help but feel a little confused.

Could it be that Brother Anbei has been enduring it and saving me face?

Shen An shook his head slightly and said, "Obey the road, let's go back." ”

Yao Lian and his subordinates were in front, and Guoguo was led by Aunt Chen and had already begun to struggle.

Someone couldn't help but ask: "Dare to ask Shen Zhizhao, is there a third realm?" ”

Shen An stopped, frowned, and said, "Yes." ”

He raised his head slightly and said, "The third realm is that there are no arrows in your hands...... It's just that realm is just a legend. ”

He walked away with his hands, and Guoguo in front of him broke free from Aunt Chen and rushed over with cheers.

"Brother......

At this moment, Shen An laughed.

The smile was so pure, and the pampering was overflowing.

Everyone remembered his mastery just now, and then looked at his current appearance, it was clear that he was an elder brother who doted on his sister!

"There are no arrows in your hand, what's underneath?"

The heart of good archery is itchy, so I keep figuring it out.

"I'm so cheap!"

Everyone was still figuring it out, and Jin Chengdao, who had lost to bankruptcy, faltered.

"I'm really cheap, I actually believe that Shen An doesn't know archery......"

Everyone looked at Shen An who was far away melancholy, and only felt that they had missed an opportunity to ask for advice.

The road was full of cheers, and countless teenagers in front of them accompanied the Shen family's carriage, and the cheers of the 'good man' were endless.

After arriving at Yulin Lane, Shen An was also stunned.

The neighbors all came out, men, women and children came, except for those who couldn't get out of bed, the entire neighborhood of Yulin Lane came out.

"God bless the Great Song!"

"Good man!"

The cheers of the neighbors were particularly loud, and the joy of pride made them shout with all their might.

The reputation of the old Shen family has come back a little! Shen Anxin was excited, so he ordered: "Set up a banquet, count how many people are in the alley, and if you invite them all, you will put them in the alley." ”

Now the neighbors were even more happy, and the cheers alarmed the people in the streets and alleys next door.

Someone smiled coldly when they got the news, and then there was a royal history outside the palace to hand over the note.

Then Chen Zhongheng left the palace.

He went all the way to Yulin Lane, and saw that there were tables densely packed inside, and the alleys were full of earthen stoves at both ends, and the cooks who were cooking looked a little familiar.

Isn't that a vendor who works as a steamed chicken at the Zhouqiao Night Market?

He went all the way in, and when he entered the Shen family, he found Shen An, who had just come out of the bath.

"Just now, Yushi impeached you, saying that you invited people to buy people's hearts, I'm afraid there are some schemes."

Shen An said angrily: "Isn't this nonsense! The neighbors celebrated the Great Song Dynasty, and I just won some money, so I paid for a treat, is it also an invitation to buy people's hearts? Isn't that? ”

He said dissatisfiedly: "Could it be that the official family also thinks so?" ”

Chen Zhongheng said with a smile: "Then it's not a certain out of the palace, but Zhang Banian." ”

He said: "The official scolded that person for nothing. ”

This is about the same, as soon as Shen An was in a good mood, he shouted: "Ermei, get some delicious food for the official family." ”

"Yes, slave knows."

Zeng Ermei immediately cheered up, and almost wanted to go to the wall with excitement.

The food I made should be eaten by the officials!

How much glory does this have to be?

If it gets out, those men who dislike me for being ugly will definitely regret it.

Chen Zhongheng said with a disgusted face: "What can you eat at home?" I can't eat anything in the palace...... No, it's the official family who can't eat anything in the palace. ”

Shen An saw that his throat was surging, and he didn't expose it, and after the food was ready, he sent him out.

When the neighbors in the alley saw him come out, the cheers of the good men rang out again.

Shen An smiled and arched his hand: "Don't be polite, everyone, eat and drink well!" ”

"Thank you for waiting for the edict!"

This side cheered, but the Liao envoy was furious.

The Liao envoy knew that Shen An had written two poems, but there were many more who could compose poems, and he himself had composed thousands of poems, and he could compose a few poems every day, so he felt that it was really nonsense.

So he thought Shen An was a sour literati.

So after he saw that Da Song was Shen An's recommended companion, he despised it.

Then he fell.

“…… The first realm is that there are only arrow targets in the eyes, and the second realm is that there are arrows in the hands and no arrows in the heart. The third realm is the absence of arrows in the hand...... He didn't say it later, it sounded very profound. ”

The Liao envoy was listening, his eyes blank.

He walked out of the room and saw more than a dozen companions practicing archery in the courtyard.

"I have arrows in my hands, but how can I have no arrows in my heart?"

Shout!

The arrow missed.

"Hey! I can't find such a profound feeling! ”

Shout!

Missed the target again.

More than a dozen Liao people tirelessly searched for the advanced archery taught by Shen An, but they lost their own archery, and their results were worse than those of beginners.

"Idiot, he's lying!"

The Liao envoy didn't know why, but he felt that a fire was accumulating in his stomach.

He rushed over, punching and scolding, "Get out! Get out! ”

These Liao people didn't know what he was crazy about, and some people muttered that they had sent the wrong messenger this time, and that they should have sent an archer, not this idiot.

"Get out!"

The Liao envoy scolded angrily.

"Shen An is out!"

At this time, someone outside shouted.

The Liao envoy said angrily: "Drive out!" ”

He rushed out of the post house with people, and really saw Shen An.

Shen An rode on horseback, followed by Zhe Kexing and Yao Lian, and there was an ox cart behind him.

"Look at it!"

The Liao envoy followed with people, and he followed all the way to Duting Xiyi.

Wasn't this the station of the Western Xia Mission? What is Shen An doing here?

Shen An rode his horse to the gate and shouted: "Your envoy, if you are willing to lose the bet, it's time to pay back!" ”

Menzi looked at Shen An in amazement, and then approached and whispered: "Waiting for the edict, this is the embassy, but it is not easy to collect debts." ”

Shen An glanced at him and asked, "Could it be that you helped him pay back those two hundred guan?" ”

What?

"Two hundred?"

Menzi was stunned, and it wasn't worth two hundred yuan to sell his entire family!

Well, it's too much, so we don't care.

Menzi let go, and Shen An and the envoys didn't know much about the gambling game, so a group of idlers were coaxing on the side.

"I've never seen an envoy gamble for money, but the Xixia people are unprecedented!"

"Willing to gamble and lose, Xixia Xiao'er, can you still hide for the rest of your life?"

“……”

Outside, shouting and scolding gradually began, and the sergeant of the military patrol shop came, and when he saw this, he couldn't help but look like dirt, worried that these people would anger the Tangut people.

"Wait for the edict, or ...... How many days will you be back? ”

Shen An was stunned and said, "Who is it that Ye Lirong runs away in a few days?" Are you going to help him pay off his gambling debts? ”

The sergeant hurriedly waved his hand and said he didn't dare, and then walked away.

Later, Ye Lirong appeared, followed by two Tangut people.

They dragged two big bags, and after they came out, Ye Lirong said embarrassedly: "There are not many copper coins......

The bag opened, and Shen An saw the gems, as well as the gold and silver.

When he saw a jade Buddha statue, he sighed: "This is just a gamble, and I can't help myself, otherwise the people in Bianliang City will say that you are a noble envoy...... It's just a matter of saying that you are a noble envoy, but they will also say that Western Xia has no credit......"

There is also a reason for Xixia to be willing to gamble and lose, so Ye Lirong feels that there is nothing wrong with this.

He was a little embarrassed and said, "Those are all ...... Is it enough? ”

Shen An had already seen a lot of ornaments with alien customs, so he knew that this time he was miserable for the Western Xia Mission.

His face was slightly pale, and he said, "What is not enough, just make a show for others to see, obey the way, and accept it." ”

Zhi Kexing stepped forward in response and said casually: "Brother Anbei, do you want to check?" ”

Shen An said angrily: "What to check? A certain and the messenger are brothers' friendships, just make a show, and then you will be cleaned up if you are noisy. ”

Zhi Kexing shrank his neck, thinking to himself when Brother Anbei and the Western Xia people were brothers?

"Shen is leaving, your envoy can go to the Privy Council to find me later, let's get some good wine, and talk about the wind and snow and heroism in the northwest."

Ye Lirong stayed inside for a long time, just looting his group and the property in the embassy, and in the end the things he looted were not enough, so he was a little worried.

Who knew that Shen An didn't even look at it, and even said that it was just for a show.

This is a real friendship!

Otherwise, Shen An only needs to embarrass him, Xixia's face will be lost, and he will not be able to escape punishment after returning to China.

He felt that his attitude towards Shen An was a little colder last time, so he said guiltily: "Wait for the edict, a certain ......"

Shen An's eyes followed the bag containing the Jade Buddha, and when he saw that Zhi Kexing had casually thrown it on the ox cart, he couldn't help but twitch in distress.

"What?"

He said with a smile on his face: "Your envoy thinks too much, friends can't be seen overnight, our days are still long, take your time." ”

Honest people!

Ye Lirong couldn't help but be moved, although it was only an instant, Shen An still managed to leave an impression on him.

- This mallet, if you change Lao Tzu's words, if you don't force you to go to heaven today, there is no way to enter the ground, Lao Tzu will not be Ye Lirong.

Shen An and Ye Lirong said goodbye with pity, and the two agreed to drink together next time they met, and then Shen An continued to move forward.

Where is this man going?

When the Liao envoy found out that Shen An was not heading home, he was a little puzzled.

Shen An got into the ox cart first and checked the Jade Buddha.

The Jade Buddha is warm and moist, the carving is delicate, and the expression is lifelike.

This kind of jade Buddha......

Zhi Kexing leaned over and asked curiously, "Brother Anbei, are you really brothers with Ye Lirong?" ”

Shen An took out the jade Buddha and said happily: "That mallet, such a good jade carving turned out to be a big road goods." This thing was sold to those powerful people, and if it was less than 500 times, Lao Tzu would smash it. ”
