Xia Hongsheng and Tang Jia chatted in the hall while waiting for Tang Jian to go back.

Mo waited for about an hour before seeing Tang Jian come back.

Xia Hongsheng naturally wanted to go up to meet him: "Meet my uncle, my little nephew got some fresh things that are in season in spring, cooked them at home, and came to send you some to taste fresh." ”

When Duan Zhixuan got his help, Xia Hongsheng himself also had eyes, when Duan Zhixuan introduced everyone, they were all this uncle and that uncle, and Xia Hongsheng also called him uncle and regarded himself as a little nephew, so that the relationship became a lot closer. In addition, they are all friends who often play together in the Hongwen Museum, and they often move around in each house, so they are familiar with each other. Of course, there is also the result of Xia Hongsheng's deliberate management, he is alone in Datang, and he has to weave a net for himself. Doing business in the form of shares, forming a community of interests with the juniors of these bigwigs' families is one of Xia Hongsheng's nets. This sounds a bit utilitarian, but it is also Xia Hongsheng's real need. He was able to maintain stability after entering the court, even if there were previous officials who felt that although he was good at things, he was young after all and his political desire was not strong, but it was impossible for these relationship networks created by Xia Hongsheng to be ineffective.

"Oh? What did you get again? Tang Jian was a little curious about what Xia Hongsheng brought: "Seasonal things? …… This locust flower hasn't bloomed yet, well, the locust flower made last spring is a good taste, the old man never thought that this locust flower is still delicious, what, what is it this spring? ”

"It's similar to last year's steamed vegetables, but this time it's not the acacia flowers, but the elm money." Xia Hongsheng said with a smile: "Yuqian is also very good, not only does it eat well, but it can also strengthen the spleen and calm the nerves, clear the heart and reduce fire." Cough and phlegm, clear heat and water, kill insects and reduce swelling. If anyone has insomnia or loss of appetite, eating this will be cured. ”

Tang Jian smiled: "Huh! In the end, the person who can cure malaria can eat the leaves of this tree to make a healthy health? ”

"Uncle Mo wants to laugh at the little nephew, it's all with Sun Shen's medicine!" Xia Hongsheng moved out this shield. Laughed.

"Done! Old man taste! Tang Jian nodded, and said with a smile: "It's already noon, and it's not worth leaving, so I simply stayed and had lunch together." ”

"Haha, that's exactly what I mean!" Xia Hongsheng smiled: "I'm going to rub rice!" ”

Tang Jiahui laughed on the side, beckoned his subordinates to prepare lunch, and at the same time brought up the food box kept in the hot drawer.

In a short time, a table was full—before that, everyone had eaten on their knees. Since Xia Hongsheng's house, a large round table and high chairs have been made. After the family sat around a large round table to eat, this back and forth spread, and now in Chang'an City, it is not very common to kneel and sit.

Soon, the steamed elm money was served on the table, and suddenly there was a sweet and slightly bitter fragrance of the elm money, mixed with the fragrant noodles. Draw a wide open index finger.

"Two boxes, one box is plain. It has the original flavor of elm money. There is meat in a box, which is mixed with the fresh air and meaty aroma of elm money, and it tastes more delicious. Each has a different flavor, where to try it first? Xia Hongsheng asked.

"Then ...... Well, it makes the old man drool, and it's hard to choose! Then try the light one first! Tang Jian sniffled. Look back and forth, and laugh.

Xia Hongsheng stood up, took a small bowl and gave Tang Jian a small bowl, and put it in front of Tang Jian: "Uncle, try it." ”

After speaking. also served a bowl to Wang Xuance. Tang Jian narrowed his eyes and smiled, staring at Wang Xuance a few more times.

Tang Jian picked up a chopstick and put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times, nodded and praised: "Well, sweet and slightly bitter, don't be a refreshing taste, leave a fragrance between your lips and teeth, good!" The old man had never eaten this thing, and he couldn't imagine that there was a different kind of fresh taste in the mountains. ”

"Hehe, it's all things that people often eat. In a disaster year, it all depends on the wild vegetables and plants in these mountains and fields. Xia Hongsheng said with a smile: "In fact, it's not just this food, it's just people, and there can also be people with lofty ideals among the gangsters." is like the Ma Zhou in the military academy, who came from a mediocre background, and didn't take care of the military school very well, even Uncle Duan secretly said that he was a character who was in and out of the picture. ”

"Haha, Brother Sheng, don't talk about Ma Zhou, you are also from a humble family, but who dares to say that you can be more talented than you? Don't you always say that the master is in the people! Tang Jiahui interjected with a smile.

Tang Jian put down the dishes and chopsticks, laughed, looked at Xia Hongsheng, and then at Wang Xuance, and said: "The old man knows that you are going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, tell me, this young man is ......"

Wang Xuance was immediately ready to stand up and salute to introduce himself, but he was secretly pulled by Tang Jiahui, and he couldn't get up, and when he was stunned, he heard Xia Hongsheng smile and said: "I asked Uncle before, but someone has come to ask to see him." ”

"Oh...... I asked the old man. Tang Jian nodded, and said with a smile: "But the old man has no talent, and he is not a Confucian family, let alone the joy of those great Confucians, what is the use of throwing the scroll to the old man." ”

Indeed, although Tang Jian was famous for serving his relatives and filial piety when he was young, he was straightforward and heroic, but he was the kind of person who did not follow the rules, and he was always able to find another way and was unwilling to follow the rules. And because he always does the kind of thing that pits opponents with a clever mouth, he is an unruly and clever person in the eyes of some rotten people. Therefore, although the hard work is high, it is inevitable that there will still be some rotten Confucians who secretly look down on him in their hearts.

Xia Hongsheng smiled, suddenly turned his head, and asked Wang Xuance: "Brother Xuance, now that there are many countries around my Tang Dynasty, I don't know what you think about this?" ”

Wang Xuance was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that it was time for Xia Hongsheng to give him a chance to express his opinions and show Tang Jian his qualifications. So there was gratitude in his eyes, then he took a deep breath, calmed down, and opened his mouth to say, "This ...... It's a little shallow below. Nowadays, around the Tang Dynasty, there are Turks in the north, Nanyue in the south, Goryeo and Jin in Liaodong, and Tuyuhun and Tubo in the west. Now that the countries are at peace for the time being, however, there will be a war between our Tang Dynasty and the Turks, which is almost inevitable. Not only that, but if the Turks are defeated, among the current Turks, the Xue Yantuo tribes may not necessarily live in peace. I thought that the Liaodong and South Vietnamese tribes could slow down and leave him alone for the time being. Tibet, there is no movement for the time being. The Turks are a priority. The Turks have been accumulating power for a long time, if the Tang Dynasty can defeat the Turks, then for a considerable period of time, other surrounding countries will not dare to disturb the Tang Dynasty because of the prestige of the Tang Dynasty to defeat the Turks. But in the long run, it won't be peaceful. If you think about it carefully, it is the South Vietnamese tribes that pose the least threat. ”

Tang Jian smiled and said, "Then the Tang Dynasty, how should we get along with these neighboring countries?" ”

"Hui Ju Guogong, in the next opinion......" Wang Xuance was clearly organized, talked about the paragraphs, and brought the ideas in his heart one by one. (To be continued.) )
