The feudal lord is on Taobao every day

After the snow stopped, the weather cleared up, but the days became shorter. Xie Jingan felt that he was just looking at the tent in the study for a while, and the sky darkened before he knew it. woke up.

"Your Highness has been sitting in the study for a whole day," Cui Tong said worriedly, "Besides, looking at things by candlelight is easy to hurt your eyes, Your Highness should take a rest."

"It's time to rest." Xie Jingan responded, slightly stretched his sore back, and asked, "What time is it?"

Cui Tong replied: "It's a quarter of the hour."

Xie Jing'an nodded, waved away the arm of the servant who was about to come up to help him, stood up, walked to the window and opened it, and said: "It's a quarter of the hour, it's time for dinner, is the dining room ready?"

Cui Tong smiled and said: "Since the highness gave the order for lunch, the people in the dining room have been busy. They just sent someone here, and they are still waiting outside. They said that the dinner is ready, so I asked your highness if you want it now." Have a banquet?"

Xie Jingan took a look outside, and sure enough, he saw a steward of the dining room waiting in the corridor, noticed the look in Xie Jingan's eyes, and hurriedly smiled and saluted him through the window.

Xie Jingan waved his hand to avoid his ceremony, turned to look at Cui Tongdao: "Don't worry, wait for General Lin and Liu Zhubo to arrive before we start the banquet, and it is not convenient for Miss Lin to have the same banquet with the king, so I will let the dining room Prepare a single table and send it to Miss Lin's room, as for you..."

Cui Tong didn't expect to have his share, so he couldn't help being overjoyed, his eyes lit up, Xie Jingan couldn't stand his eyes like this, he patted him on the head, and said with a smile: "You are also doing business for this king these days It's hard work, let's open a seat alone, with the general manager of Qin, Jiang Zheng, and Shen Wei, let's use it in the outer hall."

Just as Cui Tong was about to show a smile, Xie Jingan said again: "Just one thing, you are not allowed to drink."

Cui Tong's smile stopped immediately, Xie Jingan saw his aggrieved face, ignored him, and only ordered the guard outside the door: "Go and tell your commander, just say what the king ordered, and let him take care of Cui Tong. Cui Tong dipped in a drop of wine, and this king took him for questioning."

Knowing that Xie Jingan was teasing Cui Tong, Su Wei was not angry, so he responded with a smile.

Sitting in the study for a whole day and looking at the uninteresting account books, even though it was not time for the banquet, Xie Jingan couldn't sit still, so he asked Cui Tong to bring him a cloak and put it on in the palace. move around.

He walked along the promenade to the flower hall, and while admiring the snow scene, he asked Cui Tong: "Liu Zhubo was called away by the people in the workshop after lunch, so that I couldn't go out of the house in the afternoon. Patrol, do you know what happened to the workshop? That’s why you panicked.”

Cui Tongdao: "Reporting to Your Highness, it is a workshop outside the city that has lost water."

Hearing that the workshop was flooded, Xie Jingan frowned fiercely, and scolded: "Why didn't you report such a big matter as the workshop leaked water?"

Cui Tong was taken aback, lowered his eyebrows and said cautiously: "Master Liu ordered his subordinates not to report to His Highness. Master Liu said that the workshop where the water flowed was located outside the city. The accident was still man-made, fearing that His Highness would be hurt, so he stopped his subordinates."

Xie Jing'an let out a long sigh, and said, "The Liu family really has deep roots and leaves, and I don't know if this is to save the Liu family or to save myself."

Xie Jingan's words contained too much information, Cui Tong reacted for a while before he said in surprise: "Your Highness means that this is man-made, not an accident?"

Xie Jingan laughed, pointed to the white snow outside the corridor and said, "With such a heavy snow, the workshop and warehouse are the most important thing Liu Zhubo takes care of, and there is no fire source inside, so how can it catch fire by itself? yes……"

Xie Jing'an paused when he said this, seeing Cui Tong's half-understanding face, he did not finish his words, lightly pinched the soft flesh on his cheek twice, patted his head and said: "Go, no need Let me accompany you now, go and see when General Liu Bo Tonglin will come, and let the dining room prepare Miss Lin's banquet earlier, so as not to starve her."

After all, Cui Tong was young and used to being obedient, so he didn't ask any questions when he heard the words, he agreed crisply, and ran and jumped away.

Xie Jing'an walked around the mansion by himself for a while, until Hu Lai reported that Liu Zhubo and Lin Yan had arrived, then he put his hands away and went to the flower hall.

Lin Yan looked around day and night for the past two days, although his expression was as indifferent as before, he was a bit haggard. Liu Zhubo was also a little more tired than during lunch. Whenever he saw Xie Jingan, he came up to salute and wanted to speak, but Xie Jingan He waved his hand and said: "The king invited you here for a banquet. During the banquet, we don't talk about official business. When we are full, we can go to the study to discuss it. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a disappointment to the delicious food?"

Xie Jingan was very interested in hot pot, but Liu Zhubo was absent-minded because of something in his heart, he stopped talking for a while before following Xie Jingan into the flower hall, but Lin Yan showed a slight smile, showing no nervousness or anxiety, and stayed with Xie Jingan Bypass: "The last few days have been almost sleeping in the wind, and I was thinking about the food in His Highness's mansion, and I was planning to wait for the Liu family's case to be investigated, so I must eat a few meals to make up for it, but I don't want His Highness to host a banquet for the last general." gone."

I like people like Lin Yan who invite you to dinner. Xie Jingan became more and more excited at the moment. He grabbed his wrist and sat down on him. Having a meal together, seeing how delicious General Lin's food is, I also feel that the meal is a bit more delicious, so I ate an extra bowl before I knew it."

"That's because the food in His Highness's residence is already delicious." Lin Yan said flatteringly.

"What is this delicious?" Xie Jing'an said: "If Mozhou is not too barren and many rare dishes are not available, I can let the dining room make more delicacies, but it doesn't matter, wait until the spring of next year, Mozhou Then it will prosper, and at that time, the king will hold banquets every day, which will surely satisfy General Lin."

Although Lin Yan had always been serious, but now he followed Xie Jingan's interest with a smile and said: "Then I will just wait."

Xie Jing'an enthusiastically pulled Lin Yan to talk about some delicacies that later generations had eaten, and then he died down. Looking out through the half-open window, he sighed, "Speaking of which, the feudal domain of this king has been enfeoffed for several months. Seeing It's the new year, how will General Liu Master Bo Tonglin plan to spend it? Should he stay at home with his family, or go to the palace to watch the new year with the king? If you want to watch the new year with the king, then the king must prepare for the new year's ceremony, so that it will not be in vain. the human mind."

Talking about delicious food, suddenly the topic turned to the New Year. Liu Zhubo couldn't help but feel strange, and Lin Yan was also a little stunned. The two sisters of the same house live in the palace, so naturally they want to watch the new year with His Highness."

"The same is true for my minister," Liu Zhubo said: "The minister only has his wife and daughter. After all, the three of us will be quieter during the Chinese New Year. It's better to be with His Highness. It's just that His Highness doesn't think the little girl is noisy."

"It will be lively when there are more children," Xie Jing'an said with a smile, "But the courtyard of the palace is not big, and I'm afraid it won't be able to accommodate so many people, so we still have to clear out the idlers. Besides, the new year will bring good omens. You have to get rid of all the depression in your heart, so you can have a good year, right?"

Xie Jing'an's words contained deep meaning, both of them were smart, and they could tell when they heard it, although there was still a smile on their faces, their eyes were quite serious, and they cupped their hands and said, "Your Highness said so."

The three people's stomachs were full after eating a hot pot meal, Xie Jingan asked people to leave, and ordered some tea for digestion in the dining room, then took the two of them to the study room.

As soon as they entered the study, the expressions of the three people changed tacitly. As soon as Xie Jing'an sat down on the chair, Liu Zhubo stepped forward to plead guilty: "His Royal Highness, I am guilty of crimes. The storehouse in the workshop is flooded, and please Your Highness punish the crime of the humble minister."

This news was known earlier, Xie Jingan was not furious at first, but he was in a bad mood after all, waved his hand and said, "What kind of crime should be punished? No matter how careful you are, you can find an opportunity, the most urgent thing is to find out the person who planned this matter behind the scenes, not to plead guilty here."

"Your Highness is teaching you," Master Liu wiped his sweat with an ugly expression on his face, "I believe that this matter has nothing to do with the Liu family. There is a fish that slipped through the net, or someone is planning to divert the tiger away from the mountain, and the intention is not His Highness, but... the Liu family."

"It's also possible," Xie Jing'an nodded and said, "But it may not be because of Liu's family, and maybe it's about me, but it's just a guess now, you should tell me first, which workshop is the cause of the accident What about the casualties? Have all the goods in the warehouse been burned?"

Master Liu looked ashamed, and said: "Reporting to Your Highness, because the discovery was timely, there were no casualties, only the goods..."

Master Liu paused for a moment, and said: "Because the fire was too big, although the people in the workshop tried their best to put out the fire, [-]% to [-]% of it was still burnt down, but after putting out the fire, I carefully looked at it, and it was indeed arson. .”

Such a flood in a snowy day is naturally man-made. Xie Jingan said: "It's good that no one is hurt. Since it's just a flood in the warehouse, the workshop will continue to open for the time being, and then you send someone to report to the Zhao family. He sent a few cars to transport the products produced every day on the same day, and then the craftsmen rebuilt the warehouse as soon as possible. As for who is behind the scenes, this matter should be investigated by General Lin. This king knows General Lin. The errands are heavy, but I still want to say something, the matter of the Liu family must be settled before the New Year. I don’t want this matter to affect the mood of the New Year. If there is not enough manpower, General Lin can transfer the staff of the Palace. Su Wei."

"The people in the palace should not be moved," Lin Yan said, "His Royal Highness's safety is the most important thing. At the end there will be a group of soldiers patrolling the city guards, or at worst some soldiers guarding the city guards who were seconded when they went north to suppress the bandits. There are these hundreds of people, enough to drive the generals."

"That's good," Xie Jingan said thoughtfully, "But there is one more thing, it's time to bring up the regulations."

Liu Zhubo's heart moved, and he said tentatively: "Your Highness means..."

Xie Jing'an nodded, and said: "The king has too few people available, especially generals and sergeants. If there are enough sergeants now, it won't be possible for people to burn down the warehouse without anyone noticing it. .”
