One Piece of Song Dynasty

Wanyan Zonghan said to Wanyan Xiyin: "Gushen, you have to entertain these two adults well for me."

Wanyan Xiyin replied: "Yes, Deputy Capital Commander."

Wanyan Zonghan said: "Okay, you two adults, please step aside first. I still have something to discuss with Gushen."

The two clasped their fists and said, "Yes, Lord Tong."

Wang Xiu and Fan Wen came out of the handsome tent. Wang Xiu said: "Brother Fan, that is Wanyan Xiyin. Someone once heard Liang Xing say that this Wanyan Xiyin was a Jurchen wise man, and it was he who created Jurchen writing. .”

Fan Wen nodded and whispered: "Yes, we can have more contact with this person. He is a person that Wanyan Aguda attaches great importance to. We can get a lot of information from him."

Wang Xiu said thoughtfully: "Well, we can do that, but we also need to be careful not to expose our identity. Since Wanyan Xiyin is called a Jurchen wise man, he must have his own merits. We and It’s better to be careful when coming into contact with him.”

Fan Wen said: "Well, that's true, but they can't even guess our identities. After all, we have been in Liao for almost three years, and we are still Liao officials."

Wang Xiu shook his head and said: "Brother Fan, don't underestimate the enemy so much. If we are not careful in the environment we are in, it will be doomed, and it will also ruin the major affairs of the master's family. Therefore, it is better for us to be lenient to the enemy and think of the enemy as stronger. Gives us an advantage."

Fan Wen nodded and said: "Okay, thank you Brother Wang for reminding me. I understand. I think we should wait here for a while. When Wanyan Xiyin comes out, how about we treat him to a meal at Shuixianju in Enzhou City?"

Wang Xiureo glanced at Fan Wen thoughtfully and said, "Okay, this is a good idea. Let's wait here for him to come out."

Soon Wanyan Xiyin came out of Wanyan Zonghan's tent. When Fan Wen saw Wanyan Xiyin coming out, he stepped forward to flatter him and clasped his fists: "Master Gushen."

Wanyan Xiyin said in surprise: "You two adults haven't left yet."

Wang Xiu asked: "I wonder if Mr. Gushen is free tonight?"

Wanyan Xiyin replied: "I am free tonight, but we will be heading to Dading Mansion soon. I wonder what the two adults want?"

Fan Wen said: "The two of us would like to invite Mr. Gushen to have dinner at Shuixianju, the best restaurant in Enzhou, tonight. I wonder if Mr. Gushen can honor us."

Wanyan Xiyin thought for a moment and said, "Okay."

Wang Xiu said: "Okay, then the two of us will wait at Narcissus Residence for the arrival of Master Gushen tonight."

Wanyan Xiyin nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

After the two said goodbye to Yan Xiyin, Wang Xiu said: "Brother Fan, we are going to Shuixianju now. We must inform Shopkeeper He of Shuixianju in Enzhou about this in advance so that he can prepare in advance."

Fan Wen nodded and said, "Okay, let's go now."

The two of them soon arrived at Shuixianju in Enzhou. After entering Shuixianju, Wang Xiu raised his hands and said, "Shopkeeper He, Wang is here again."

He Yichen smiled and cupped his hands and said: "What kind of wind brought Mr. Wang here? To be honest, He would like to thank Mr. Wang. If Mr. Wang hadn't obeyed God's will and joined the Jin Army, He's restaurant would have suffered."

Wang Xiu waved his hand and said: "The Liao Kingdom is already over. There is no point in fighting anymore because all lives will be ruined. Shopkeeper He will introduce to you first. This is Mr. Fan Wenfan, the former governor of Huizhou. Mr. Fan also led the city of Huizhou to surrender to the Jin Army just like Mr. He. ."

He Yichen cupped his fists and said, "He has met Lord Fan. Lord Fan is also someone who knows current affairs."

Fan Wen said: "Shopkeeper He, I wonder what your relationship is with Shopkeeper Wei of Huizhou Shuixianju. Fan is a regular customer of Shopkeeper Wei, so Fan can be considered a regular customer of your Shuixianju."

He Yichen suddenly realized: "It turns out that he is a customer of shopkeeper Wei Kaiwei. He and shopkeeper Wei are very familiar with each other. I wonder why the two adults came to my shop today?"

Wang Xiu stroked his beard and said: "Tonight, the two of us are going to entertain Mr. Wanyan Xiyin, the deputy to the deputy commander of the Jin Army Wanyan Zonghan, who is known as the "Great Golden Wise Man" at Shuixianju. Shopkeeper He, please tell me in advance. The best wine and food here are prepared for us."

He Yichen patted his chest and said, "Just wait and see, you two adults. I will prepare a box for you tonight. I will definitely not delay your business."

In the evening, Wang Xiu and Fan Wen personally welcomed Wanyan Xiyin downstairs.

Wanyan Xiyin rode his horse to Shuixianju. When he saw Wang Xiu and Fan Wen dismounting, he said, "My lords, I am not too late."

Wang Xiu waved his hand and said: "It won't be too late, Lord Gushen came at the right time. The food and wine are already prepared. Please come to Lord Gushen."

Wanyan Xiyin made a gesture and said: "You two adults also invite me."

The three of them entered the private room on the third floor of Narcissus Residence together. Wang Xiu made a gesture and said, "Lord Gushen, please take a seat."

Wanyan Xiyin replied: "You two adults, please sit down too."

After the three people sat down, people filed in to serve the dishes. Wang Xiu introduced: "Master Gushen, these dishes are the specialty dishes of this restaurant. This restaurant is also the restaurant with the best food in Enzhou. Lord Gushen, please taste it."

After tasting a few dishes, Wanyan Xiyin nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well, this dish is indeed very delicious. It is better than all the food I have eaten before. You Han people's food is just good."

Wang Xiu smiled and said: "Haha, food is the most important thing for the people. Everyone needs to eat. Eating delicious food is also a kind of enjoyment."

Wanyan Xiyin nodded and said, "Well, that's true. Master Wang is right. It seems that Master Wang is also a regular customer here."

Wang Xiu replied: "Yes, after all, this is the most delicious restaurant in our Enzhou. I often eat here. In fact, Shuixianju is not just a restaurant in Enzhou. There is also Shuixianju in Master Fan's Huizhou. I also I heard that there are narcissus residences in other places in the Liao Kingdom."

Wanyan Xiyin said in surprise: "Oh, that's right, but I didn't see a restaurant with the words Shuixianju in the Liaodi city I occupied before."

Fan Wen said: "I heard that Shuixianju are mostly located in Xijin Prefecture and Datong Prefecture, but there seem to be only two or three near Dading Prefecture."

Wanyan Xiyin said thoughtfully: "So that's the case. Think about it. After all, Xijin Mansion and Datong Mansion are places where you have more Han people. The further you go to the north, the fewer Han people there are."

Wang Xiu nodded and said, "That's true. Come, Master Gushen, I'll offer you a glass of wine." After that, Wang Xiu drank it all.

Wanyan Xiyin replied: "Okay, by the way, I don't know why you two adults invited me to dinner today."

Fan Wen said: "The two of us have heard that Lord Gushen has a good relationship with the emperor. We would like to ask Lord Gushen to speak kindly to the two of us in front of the emperor in the future."

Wanyan Xiyin nodded and said: "This matter is not a problem. I have seen both Enzhou and Huizhou. Your governance is pretty good. I will report your ability to the emperor."
