Chapter 154: Winter Festival (9)
After eating a lot, the king summoned the palace manager and ordered: "Allocate 5,000 gold coins to Xiang Fu, order Xiang Fu to make 5,000 dumplings, and invite all the ministers to taste them at the winter banquet." ”
The palace manager glanced at the dumplings on the table: "King Guoguo, all the outside food in previous years was provided by Lin Fulou." ”
"What is Lin Fulou, can it be compared to the dumplings invented by the God of War? Lin Fulou has provided food for so many years, and there are only a few things every year, and you are not tired of eating them?"
"King Guo, I can't attend the winter feast, so I don't get tired of eating. ”
"Less nonsense, don't think I don't know. Lin Fulou's things, you eat more than me. Did you take advantage of Lin Fulou, why do you always speak for him?"
"The slave doesn't dare, it's just that Lin Fulou is General Lin's property after all. General Lin is also the father of Concubine Lin. ”
"I don't care who he is, the winter feast is to make everyone eat to their heart's content. ”
"But in previous years, eating out was only allocated a hundred gold coins, but this time it has been raised to 5,000, I'm afraid it will be ........ ”
"You talk less nonsense, what food and what price, I know in my heart. Do you want to resign from this position before the holiday?"
"If you don't dare, I'll arrange it. As soon as he heard that he was going to be expelled, the manager immediately stopped talking nonsense.
If Xiang Bei heard the news, he would definitely praise Chu for his pity. He really didn't know that there would be outside food sent to the palace at the winter banquet. It seems that this Chu pity was premeditated, and it was too cost-effective to exchange a dumpling for a gold coin. 5,000 dumplings, no matter how good the filling is, it can only last for the cost of 50 gold coins. This is a deliberate gift from the king.
But Lin Fulou should be unhappy now, it is the property of a Tianwu general, Xiang Bei has offended people inexplicably.
Thanks to Xiang Bei's blessing, these guys in Xiang Fu have a surprise from time to time. After eating and drinking, the group cleaned up the table and retreated contentedly. Xiang Bei left Hao Pang and Xiao Jiu.
Xiang Bei poured tea and told Chu to pity: "I should go to the street to be bait in the afternoon." I hope the killer will come and me sooner, and don't make me wait too long, I don't have time to spend with them. ”
Chu pity fell on the recliner and told her to do whatever she wanted, just come back alive. Ask him if he wants to go out with a guard?
Xiang Bei said that he had just been assassinated, and if a person didn't take it out and run out, it would be too much like fishing. The guards still have to bring two, two is enough, no more, too many for the enemy to dare not move.
"If you want to bring too much, you just have a fat winter melon and a skinny eggplant. Chu pity is full, and he is lazy to speak at this time.
Hao Pang raised his hand: "Princess, can you not always call the fat winter melon fat winter melon?"
"Do you still have an opinion on a guard, but the princess can listen to a suggestion, since you have an opinion, let's call it Fat Watermelon." Fat watermelon, you are smart, keep your husband safe. Even if the mission is not completed, come back alive. Don't be busy with the whole house for the holidays. ”
Xiang Bei couldn't stand her crow's mouth, and told Hao Pang and Xiao Jiu: "Let's go quickly, and then follow the princess and talk nonsense, and be cursed to death by her." ”
The three of them got up and left, and Chu pity told him to come back early in the afternoon and not to go drinking again.
"I know, I'm quitting. Xiang Bei replied and left Xiang Mansion without looking back.
They didn't ride horses, so the three of them wandered towards the main street of the city. Xiang Bei hugged Xiao Jiu's shoulders: "Are you still used to working in my house?"
Xiao Jiu said that it is very good, it is good to eat and live. When will you be able to go to war?
"You can fight the same as you say, don't worry, it's fast. If you want to go to war, you have to wait for the outbreak of war. I promise you that as soon as war comes, I will send you to the battlefield. But I'm afraid you won't go again. ”
Xiao Jiu said no, he was looking forward to killing the enemy on the battlefield day and night, how could he refuse to go.
Hao Pang put his hand on his shoulder from the other side: "Brother, you are still young." I don't understand it now. You'll know when the time comes, all you can do on the battlefield is kill the enemy. And by the side of Mr., he learned to use soldiers. But let me ask you a question, if I were to take you away in the future, would you stay with my husband, or would you come with me?"
Xiao Jiu asked where to go?
"Don't ask too much about this, in short, what Mr. can give you, I can give you. It's up to you and me to see who is more iron. ”
"I am a brother with you, and a master and servant with my husband, I don't know. Xiao Jiu didn't dare to answer.
Xiang Bei laughed: "Xiao Jiu is still fragrant, when the time comes, you can just go with the fat man." It's better to follow him than to have a future with me, you brother is terrible. It's amazing, you're pretty good at making friends. ”
Xiao Jiu didn't answer, honest boy, he couldn't understand what these two guys were saying.
All the way to the main street, Xiang Bei ran to a vendor selling sugar gourds and asked if the seller of sugar gourds still remembered himself?
The seller of sugar gourds hurriedly said that he remembered and did not dare to forget. He originally held the king's order to eat sugar gourds on credit, how could such a person forget.
Xiang Bei asked again: "Did I give you the sugar gourd money back?"
"I returned it, and my lord came to pay it back on the same day. ”
"It's good to pay it back, I can't bully someone poorer than me. I'll have three more, let me pick them. ”
Xiang Bei was picking a sugar gourd, and at this time, in front of a wooden building behind him, a woman was looking at him carefully.
The woman was watching, and another woman came out of the building: "Fan Niang, you haven't been to the Hazy Garden for a long time to do work, why did you suddenly come back again?"
The woman named Fan Niang chuckled, her smile was intoxicating, and she told the woman, "Isn't there no money again?" The winter festival is approaching, come and pick up some live festivals. ”
After speaking, this fan girl walked towards Xiang Bei. This is the city's largest entertainment venue, the Hazy Garden.
Xiang Bei also picked out the sugar gourd at this time, divided it with Hao Pang and Xiao Jiu, and asked Hao Pang to pay.
The fan lady stepped forward: "This son, the winter festival is approaching, come to the Hazy Garden to take care of my sister's business." ”
Before Xiang Bei could answer, Xiao Jiu suddenly pushed Fan Niang away: "Flash away, my husband doesn't enter this vulgar place." ”
Fan Niang fell to the ground with a sigh, her face full of grievances: "If you don't come, you won't come, why do you push people so much." Childe, your guard is so vicious. ”
"That's it, girl, I'm sorry, I'll help you up. Xiang Bei helped Fan Niang up, and scolded Xiao Jiu for not being rude.
Fan Niang hugged Xiang Bei's neck with both hands, and helping him up was like holding it up. When he stood up, he never let go. With a charming face, he whispered softly: "Gongzi Xie is considerate, Gongzi, do you think I am good-looking?"
Fan Niang winked at Xiang Bei, Xiang Bei only felt a burst of fragrance coming, looked at Fan Niang's eyes, suddenly became intoxicated, as if she had lost her mind, and replied softly: "It's good-looking, it's so beautiful." ”
Hao Pang looked at Xiang Bei, and then looked at the fan girl, only to see that there was a faint layer of pink light in the eyes of the fan girl, which made people seem to take away their minds at a glance. Hao Pang hurriedly twisted his head away, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but tilt slightly. Apparently already understood something.
