The empty city plan is the apex of wisdom, and riding into the enemy camp alone is the pinnacle of courage, whether it is wisdom or courage, which one reaches the apex, will be invincible in the world.

Wang Xian neither has the wisdom of Zhuge Liang nor the courage of Huo Yao, but the big family of Fuyang is not Sima Yi, let alone Wang Xian, who has experienced a cruel baptism in Pujiang by the King of the Huns.

At the end of the day, these people are no longer his opponents......

The boat approached the dock, and before it could stop steadily, its firecrackers were set off on the shore. Amid the crackling sound of firecrackers, fiery red debris, and white gunsmoke, the dock workers took the cables thrown from the ship and skillfully tied the two ends of the boat. After the pedal was put down, under the support of four shy family members, Wang Xingye and his wife slowly got off the boat

At this time, the sound of firecrackers stopped, but the sound of gongs and drums sounded again, and the lions on both sides began to dance and fight vigorously, trying to attract the attention of the distinguished guests, until the drums beat rapidly, and then they separated. In the denser and denser sound of drums, the lions on both sides slowly stood up.

The moment he stood upright, the drum beat abruptly, and after a few breaths, the drum struck hard and crisp twice, and the lions on both sides opened their mouths at the same time, and each spit out a red vertical banner

When the scroll was unfolded, I saw that the vertical banner on the left read, 'Gui Ning Naibang,' and the vertical banner on the right read, 'With honor,

Although they didn't quite understand what they meant, Wang Xingye and Aunt Wang still applauded vigorously. The gentry and wealthy businessmen hurriedly stepped forward, competing to bow down to pay their respects, full of 'good luck, but a pair of eyes floated behind the two of them-there, Wang Xian, who was dressed in a big coat, was holding his little niece and walked down unhurriedly.

"Congratulations to the New Year" "Congratulations to the New Year, my lord" Sure enough, when Wang Xian got off the boat, the voices of the officials and wealthy businessmen suddenly increased several times. Although they didn't want his father to see the difference, there were some emotions that couldn't be pretended.

"Hehe, happy New Year, everyone." Wang Xian smiled and nodded, teasing the niece in his arms and said, "Xin'er, hurry up and greet your grandfather and uncle." Along the way, he taught Xin'er this, and the little girl was also obedient, obediently holding her pink little fists in the depths, hugging them together and shaking them vigorously.

"This kid is so good" The gentry smiled and said, but the rich businessmen took out the red envelopes that had been prepared for a long time and stuffed them into Xin'er's arms. The gentry didn't expect that there were children, and now it was too late to prepare, so they stood aside, and they were embarrassed...... The merchants won another game.

Collecting the New Year's money for Xin'er, Wang Xian glanced at the father who was polite to everyone there, nodded to everyone, and boarded the carriage of Erhei, without waiting for his family.

How could the squires let him go like this, a few people outside pulled the door frame and said with a straight face: "My lord, we have set up a feast in the Drunken Immortal Building, please be sure to enjoy the light." ”

"......" Wang Xian sat in the carriage, his expression could not be seen clearly, and his voice was low and palpitating: "I'm a little tired, I've got my kindness, let's talk about it another day." He said to the driver, "Drive." ”

Driver, the driver waved his whip, and Erhei slowly drove out of the dock.

"Lord Wang, what's wrong?" The gentry were dumbfounded.

"Don't be surprised, he's been like this for the past few days, with a stinky face for the New Year." Wang Xingye explained for Wang Xian: "It's as if everyone owes him 800 yuan." ”

The gentry chuckled in their hearts, Wang Xian was very angry, and the consequences were very serious......

"I'll wait for the feast," the gentry had to turn to the next and said, "Please also invite the king and the master to appreciate the light." ”

"Oh, I just promised Li Yuanwai and Lu Yuanwai." Wang Xingye looked sorry and said, "Aren't you all together?" ”

"No......" The gentry couldn't help but be depressed when they saw that they couldn't even invite Wang Xian and his father.

"Let's let it, I'll return Li Yuanwai's side, let Wang Gui come to your side, how about it?" Wang Xingye has a lot of ideas.

"What is this......" The gentry cried and laughed, and we invited Wang Da to have a fart dinner, but after thinking about it, if we couldn't even invite Wang Da, today's trip would be a big one. Even if you want to go down the stairs, you have to quickly agree: "Good idea......"

So Wang Xingye followed the people of the Chamber of Commerce in the Zhou Family Restaurant, Wang Gui followed the gentry in the drunken fairy building, and the female dependents were sent to Wang Gui's house, and their own Hou family served there

Wang Xian did not live in Wang Gui's house, but stayed in another business outside Lu Yuan. In order to welcome his arrival, Lu Yuan had just cleaned up the furniture a few years ago, prepared furniture, and sent eight maids and servants to serve him.

In the backyard study, Wang Xian had already taken off his big coat and thick boots, and was wearing a ninety percent new lake blue satin thin cotton robe, extremely structured leggings, white cloth socks, and black satin shoes, and sat comfortably on the chair. Beneath his feet was a brazier of snow-white copper, burning with smokeless filament charcoal. On the table of the Eight Immortals, there are eight high-legged plates containing fruit snacks

Wang Xian ate two pieces of dim sum, and then sipped on the good Biluochun, relaxed and chic.

Shuai Hui stood aside, although he was going to be an official next year, but in front of Wang Xian, he still regarded himself as a messenger and refused to sit down. But his face was full of excitement, and his eyebrows danced to tell the scenery of his own days these days:

"Just a few days after I came back, it was still calm, that is, I walked around with a few good people in the yamen, who knew that since the tenth day of the first month of Dala, my guests have not been interrupted. At first, it was the housekeepers, nephews and the like from big families who came to send some New Year's goods. Later, I heard that I had already told myself, and the gang was completely let go, and I came to visit the door all day long, my grandfather was very upbeat at first, and then he was annoyed...... Shuai Hui smiled: "That's it, it's been more than half a month, except for Chinese New Year's Eve meals, I haven't eaten at home." ”

"I haven't slept at home for a night." Erhei came in with a hot square tray. "Sooner or later, this guy will die on a woman's belly."

"That's what I'm going to do." Shuai Hui hurriedly held the fruit plate, asked Erhei to put the tray down, and said with a smile: "Everyone has their own good, just like you are delicious." I didn't curse you to death. ”

"Come on, adults still have to eat." Erhei glanced at him and said with a smile: "It's right that adults don't sit at the table, Lu Yuanwai invited a chef from the capital, which is not comparable to the county restaurant." Salivating and said: "Authentic Jinling roast duck can't be eaten elsewhere"

Wang Xian didn't expect that on the tray was a roast duck that had just come out of the oven, jujube red, drizzled with oil, hot, and with steamed lotus leaf cake and onion sauce. What is the difference between this and the Peking duck of later generations, and why is it called Jinling roast duck?

After thinking about it, he remembered that in a few years, the capital of the Ming Dynasty would be moved from Nanjing to Beijing, and it was estimated that the roast duck was also passed on at that time. Whatever, authentic and delicious is king

Wang Xian skillfully picked up a piece of lotus leaf cake, spread it with the white onion with dipping sauce, and sandwiched a slice of roast duck. The cook's skill is indeed good, the slices are very thin, each slice has skin, oil and meat, roll it up and take a bite, and Wang Xian, who was moved, almost shed tears, that is, this taste has not changed for hundreds of years

beckoned the two of them to go down together, and the wind swept away the whole duck, and the three of them ate with red light on their faces, and they were addicted. At the place of arose, Wang Xian invited the chef to come over to meet, only to see that it was an old man in his fifties, thin and thin, and his body was cleaned up in the net and neat, not like those greasy, round, like a lion's head cook.

"This old man's surname is high, where was he originally high?" Wang Xian smiled: "This roast duck is not the art of ordinary stores. ”

"Your Excellency praised it." The chef smiled and said: "The old man's surname is Dong, you can call me Lao Dong, I have been in many shops, and my art is not too good." ”

"Okay, I'm good" Wang Xian said domineeringly as always: "Look at the reward"

Shuai Hui took two pieces of money, and the chef took it, thanked him politely, and took the tray and went down.

"This cook is quite stylish." Shuai Hui touched his head and smiled.

"One person, one character," Wang Xian shook his head and smiled, not caring.

However, after a while, the cook came back with a tray, and it turned out that he had steamed the egg custard with duck fat from the bowl of duck fat he had handed out when roasting the duck, and had cooked the duck rack into soup. The egg custard is golden and the duck soup is milky, making people salivate. It turns out that this Chef Dong is expressing gratitude with actions, not words.

This made Wang Xian have a good impression of him. Once again, the egg custard and duck soup are tender and delicious that they have never sung, which makes people feel that Chef Dong has a bit of personality.

After removing the food and serving the tea, Wang Xiancai opened his mouth and asked, "What are they looking for you, it won't be a family routine, right?" ”

"Actually, it's just a trick on me." Shuai Hui said with a smile: "Ask your Excellency about your experience in Pujiang, ask who your lord is good friends with, and ask your lord if you really know the feudal Tai Qincha?" He smiled and said, "The most important thing is to knock on the side and ask the adults how to deal with them." ”

"What's wrong with you?" Wang Xian asked.

"According to the adult's instructions, of course I refused, but I accidentally shook some fierce material to them." Shuai Hui said with a smile: "Before my lord left Pujiang, Zhou Zhentai had a special conversation with you for half an hour, and it seemed that he wanted you to go back to Fuyang and investigate some case." I don't know what the case is when they ask me directly, but what Zhou Zhentai personally ordered is definitely not a trivial matter. ”

"Later, they seemed to have inquired, and they knew that this conversation really existed." Erhei also said: "Then I started to guess, and some people guessed that it was the queen of the autumn to settle accounts...... At the beginning, they let the salt envoy detain the grain ship, so that the domain and the platform lost face, and now Zhou Zhentai poured it out and wanted to clean them up; Some people also guessed that Lord Wei gave Zhou Zhentai a message and asked him to help deal with them...... In short, I guessed everything, and I was scared to death. ”

"Alas, I am most afraid of this kind of half-truth and half-truth, and no one dares not believe it." Shuai Hui said with a smile: "Plus Li Yuanwai's old man defected, they were completely out of luck, and the third watch found me in the middle of the night last night and wanted me to have a conversation with the adults." ”

"What?"

"There is some misunderstanding in this matter, they definitely don't dare to confront the adults, please let them live." Shuai Hui said.

"......" Wang Xian smacked his lips, touched his chin and said, "How do I feel that I am in their hearts, similar to asking for impermanence?" ”

"Well, almost." Erhei nodded.

Wonderful recommendation:
