Chapter 117: The Qingluo Umbrella Came from Outside the Door
Xu Ping looked at Lu Gongbi, who was full of embarrassment, and said to Wang Su: "How could Lu Xianggong offend me?" I'm just telling the truth. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThe medicines I use now are all prepared and sent by the Imperial Pharmacy, so naturally there is no shortage of anything. ”
Seeing Xu Ping pretending to be stupid, Wang Su shook his head slightly at Lu Gongbi. Lu Yijian originally thought that he had changed his attitude and that his son would come and take a trip, and Xu Ping should have lifted this page, but he didn't expect Xu Ping to really hold a grudge.
In Xu Ping's case, if it is really for official business and has no selfish intentions, then it is fine. This time, Lu Yijian was obviously not like this, and he obviously had the intention of knocking. This kind of thing Lu Yijian may have been used to doing before, but he just did it easily, if Xu Ping didn't have an attitude, it would be endless in the future. Now how many people in the court are working against Lu Yijian, and he still provokes him, so he uses this method.
Lu Gongbi was about to say more, but a subordinate hurriedly ran over and said to Xu Ping: "Junhou, I don't know which ruler came outside, and I didn't bring an honor guard, but I saw it from afar." ”
Xu Ping was stunned, how could there still be Zaizhi? I have never had a private relationship with the ministers of the Privy Council and the Political Council, so I shouldn't give such a big face.
Wang Su reminded in a low voice on the side: "Yunxing, don't hurry up and greet you!" ”
Xu Ping hurriedly asked his subordinates to lead the way, straightened his official clothes, and rushed out. After walking a few steps, I heard someone in front of me: "Xue Shilang and Wang Shilang have arrived, where is the master's house?" ”
When I caught up, I found that it was not the current Zaizhi, but Wang Shu of Zhishi and Xue Kui who were recuperating.
Both of them used to be governors, and now they have retired, and they are both senior ministers and scholars, with a note. That is, there are the words "Enshu looks at the slaughter", and enjoys the treatment of the slaughter. The two of them drove lightly, not only did they not have a guard of honor, but even the entourage only brought a few people, but the Qingluo umbrella that indicated their identity was still seen from a distance by the guards at Xu Ping's house.
Xu Ping stepped forward, saw the salute, and said: "I don't want the two of you to come together, I'm really scared!" ”
Wang Shu looked at the people not far away, and said lightly: "The weather is fine today, Xue Shilang and I originally wanted to find a place with good mountains and rivers outside the city to take a walk." I just heard that you are entertaining colleagues here, so I came over to take a look. ”
"Recently, the watermelons I grew at home are ripe, so I invite my colleagues to taste them. The two ministers are here, please. ”
The two followed Xu Ping and walked slowly towards the pond. Xue Kui said: "The watermelon at home is indeed a good thing. Two days ago, the palace sent a few to me, saying that it could cure asthma, and it was really useful to eat it. ”
Xu Ping listened to it and hurriedly said: "If it is useful, I will send some to the Prime Minister's Mansion every few days in the future." ”
Xue Kui nodded: "I have a heart." Since the beginning of the year, my asthma has become more and more severe, not because of my greed. ”
Xu Ping Liandao understands that watermelon does have this effect, didn't there be any watermelon cream in his previous life, but why didn't he think of it before? It's embarrassing to let a ruler-level figure come to your own home and ask for it.
Wang Su and Lu Gongbi were the first to get the news and greeted them. Xue Kui, Wang Shu and Lu Yijian are not all the way, and there are many contradictions, but they have no prejudices against Lu Gongbi.
The Lu family is the lintel of the Yuanguang gate from the middle of Lu Meng, but academically it is still from Lu Gongbi. There are many schools of the Two Song Dynasty, and the school of the Lu family is also one of them, although it is not as good as the new Luoxue, and its status is not low. As the son of the prime minister, Lu Gongbi has devoted himself to academics and has achieved success, and his reputation among scholars is still quite good.
At this time, everyone under the thatched pavilion by the pond also saw the big man and greeted him.
Ordinary people may not pay attention, but in the officialdom, the meaning of the inconspicuous Qingluo umbrella is known to everyone. In the hearts of many officials, it is a supreme honor to be able to mix such an umbrella for a lifetime.
Yan Shu's political performance is mediocre, and the capital to settle down in the officialdom is an article, and the other is popularity. No matter which faction it is, he can't be offended, and he can speak. Of course, they don't get close, and they stay outside the faction.
After seeing the ceremony, everyone sat down.
Ouyang Xiu silently walked a little away from Liu Sanchang, without a trace. The two people who came, one was his father-in-law, and the other was his lord who entered Beijing from the place, but these two people were both square and serious, and they were notoriously difficult.
When Xue Kui was in Yizhou, he liked spring outings and wrote a lot of spring outing poems, calling himself "Xue Chunyou". Later, Ren Zhi Kaifeng Mansion, because of the strict governance, was changed to "Xue out of oil", and he did not rub sand in his eyes. Wang Shu is Kou Zhun's son-in-law, in view of Kou Zhun's indulgence in lust, informality, and several disasters, and finally died in Lingnan, he is very serious as an official. Qian Weiyan was quite conniving with his subordinates in Henan Mansion, and Ouyang Xiu and others just traveled the mountains and rivers every day, drank alcohol, and raised a far-reaching Qian Mu literati. Wang Shu took Qian Wei's performance, strictly controlled his subordinates, and ended the happy time of those people.
Just now there was only one Yan Shu here, and the repertoire of the courtesans was restricted, and now as soon as these two people sat down, the sound of silk and bamboo simply stopped. Both of them are veterans and important ministers, and their words in the court are quite weighty, leaving a bad impression on them, and their future will be clouded.
Lu Gongbi looked at Wang Su and shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly. I didn't expect Xu Ping's face to be so big, and he was able to invite these two people, it seems that it is not a simple matter to complete the task by himself today. But he didn't want Xu Ping to invite at all, and he didn't think he had enough weight to invite a person of this level, and people came by themselves smelling the smell of melons.
Full of wine, Xue Kui led the drink for a few rounds. He had been coughing a lot lately, and he had a lot of phlegm, and this cool fruit wine was just right for the taste, so he drank two more glasses before he knew it.
Wang Shu saw that the scene was a little dull, and said to everyone: "The weather is fine today, and it is not too hot. Xue Shilang and I are both old and can't walk anymore, so let's gossip with the marquis here. ”
Those young officials had long been uncomfortable, and when they heard this, they got up one after another, hugged Yan Shu out of the pergola, and went to see the scenery in Xu Ping's mansion together. As for what Xue Kui said that the weather was not hot, it was relative to the two of them, and others didn't think so. But it's better to sweat two drops than to be confined there.
Seeing everyone leaving, Xue Kui asked again how the fruit wine he drank was brewed. Xu Ping hurriedly asked his subordinates to prepare two buckets, and told Xue Kui how to add ice to the well water, and finally recorded another copy of the recipe that Yan Shu had just copied to Xue Kui.
After talking about these gossips, Wang Shu said his true intention: "Xu Ping, I heard that you have recently used some methods to use people to obtain horse essence and breed horses, Li Tingshi tried to be quite effective in the former military supervisor, but is it true?" ”
"Hui Xianggong, this is indeed the case. My family also raises horses in the countryside of Zhongmu, and after a few years, there are still a lot of good horses. ”
Wang Shu nodded: "If it really works, can you record the method to me?" When I was in my prime, I once compiled the ancient and modern Ma Zheng as "The Story of Herds". Now that I'm old, I want to sort it out and print it again. (To be continued.) )
