[Red House] Men's clothing

In the early morning of the second day, the two eldest sons of the Siwang family and the Liuwang family waited early at the gate of Nanyuan. The families behind them lined up, and no one spoke, quietly waiting for the arrival of the emperor's personal guards. The emperor drove the four sons away. When they went out to the capital for disaster relief and investigation, they followed a group of eunuchs from the 24 yamen of the harem. A group of eunuchs usually seldom appear in front of people. They always listen to what the emperor says.The princes did not dare to refuse to listen, and the princes dared not ride in a carriage if they were allowed to ride horses.

As the folks say, grandparents and grandchildren have always been intergenerational relatives. When the two eldest sons left Beijing, the emperor sent out ten people each, a total of 110 people, to escort the servants except the Dragon Guards.

A group of people came out of Nanyuan mightily, Situ Yue was waiting halfway, and saw that the leader was a man wearing a golden mask, wearing a bright black hooded cloak, and put on a hood. The chin of the mask can be seen.After being the deputy commander of Tengxiang Guard for a few months, I looked at these guards again. With just a glance, I knew that these people were all hidden guards, and none of them were from the Twelve Guards. The posture of these people is ready to be seen The eyes of the person are scrutinizing.

"Big Brother" Cheng Yue got off his horse, ran over in a hurry, and grabbed Situ Yue's sleeve.The eldest son of the Fourth Wang family also got off the horse and stood affectionately beside Cheng Yue, and shouted "Brother."

"The two younger brothers went out really early, and I said that I would set up a banquet to see you off in the morning, but now I can only give you two steamed buns to eat on the way." He asked again, "Have you brought all your clothes and dry food? Jiangnan There will be miasma sooner or later, have you brought enough medicine?"

Cheng Yue pulled his wrist, and said reluctantly, "Brother, don't worry about the mother and concubine thinking about it yesterday."

Situ Yue nodded, put his two younger brothers on the horse, turned and said to Fang Yun who had already dismounted, "This king has entrusted my two younger brothers to my lord. Please take care of me on the road."

Fang Yun didn't take off his hood, and silently clasped his fists in a bow. When he bent down, Situ stepped forward, supported him with both hands, grabbed his hands and rubbed them twice, and said in a low voice, "Brother Chengyue will entrust the Cousin."

Fang Yun nodded, and wanted to turn around, but Situ Yue still held his hand, and gently withdrew it. He didn't speak the whole time. He rode on the horse briskly, and with a wave of his arm, the whole team started to move forward.

Situ Yue rode his horse and went to Nanyuan until he couldn't see anyone. He still played with the old concubine today.Halfway there, I was called away by the emperor, "Today, all the female relatives have accepted the invitation from the queen to come to the banquet, and the old concubine must show up. Don't meddle with you as a man."

So the grandparents and grandchildren brought her to the capital, the emperor led the way, and turned into an alley. Situ Yue looked at the narrow alley, and she would never have come in if the emperor hadn't led the way.

"Grandpa, where are we going?"

"There is a shop here that makes good donkey meat. Grandpa will take you to try it later."

After walking a few more steps, I suddenly saw a small shop with the words "Spiced Donkey Meat" written on the front door.walk into.In the front is the shopkeeper standing at the counter, pulling the abacus to settle the accounts. Behind him are a few small jars of wine, and a few pieces of meat are hanging on the beam as you walk in. Below is the chopping board. White cotton cloth, the store is tidy and there are no mosquitoes and flies.The emperor found a place to sit down, and motioned Situ Yue to look at the wooden sign hanging on the wall. Besides the spiced donkey meat, there were various side dishes listed on it.

Xiao Er was wearing a gray short jacket, and saluted neatly, "My lord, if there is something you want to eat, tell me, our back kitchen will bring it to you soon."

Situ Yue looked around, followed his grandparents and grandchildren in, and then 24 people came in, sat at three tables, pretended to whisper to each other, and ordered food, most of them still looked around vigilantly.

"There is still good wine in the shop, would you like a jug?"

"No, just go on as long as this." The emperor looked at Situ Yue's eyes and looked around, and said to the people who followed in, "Bring some wine." The gourd was respectfully placed on the table and went back.

Situ got more relieved, took the wine glass on the table, poured a glass for the emperor, poured himself a glass, and drank it in one gulp, it was extremely spicy.

"How?" the emperor asked her.

"Good wine." Just because of this stamina, it can be considered a good wine.

Soon Xiao Er brought up the dishes, and took out an extra plate of pickled cucumbers, "This is the secret recipe handed down from the owner of the shop. Try it, it's for you two."

Situ Yue picked up a piece of donkey meat and ate it first, "Mmm, it's delicious." It's not that he doesn't know how to respect the elderly, it's just that there are only two people at this table, and one of them must test the poison.

The emperor was very happy when he saw it, and he ate a piece himself. The grandparents and grandchildren happily ate with one chopstick, "How do you know this place? It seems a bit remote."

"My grandfather's grandpa, Liu Daniu's father, brought my grandfather here, and later brought your father here too. He doesn't like meat, and he doesn't say it's delicious, so he never brought him here again. gone."

The emperor was a little sad, and Situ Yue said carelessly, "This is what my grandson is not like my father, and my grandson is not fond of flesh and blood."

"That's right, you also have a naughty mouth, so you know how to pick up delicious food and save some for your grandfather. See if you eat all of this plate."

"Why are you so stingy? Order another plate."

On the chopping board next to the counter, a young boy came over, lifted the white cloth covering the basin, picked up a piece of meat, raised the knife in his hand, put it on a plate, and Xiaoer came over.

At this time, a man wandered into the store with a big shoulder and a round waist, shaking a folding fan, and the shopkeeper immediately came out to say hello, "Master Jia, you are the same this time."

The old man called Master Jia pointed to the place where his grandfather and grandson were, "Who took the place of Master?"

The hidden guards who pretended to be passers-by eating put down their chopsticks and were all ready to go. The emperor asked slowly, "Marquis Jia En, is this seat yours?"

Situ Yue answered, "Did you call it to see if it agreed?"

Jia She and Jia Enhou walked over cautiously, bowing his body. First, he greeted him, and then quickly defended himself, "I didn't know you were here. I am a regular visitor here, and I used to sit here."

The emperor snorted.Ask him, "Lao Jia's memorial day has passed for a few days, what kind of regulations are there in your house?"

It is said that Jia Daishan was injured in order to save his driver, and the wound was poisoned, so he died after two years of procrastination. Tell the grandson that this man's father died to save him, and let the six kings treat their family better.

"My mother is in charge, and I invited a monk, a Taoist priest, and an aunt for my father to hold a seven-day water and land meeting."

Situ Yue sounded all right, she didn't understand this aspect, but the emperor was angry, "Are Taoists really here? The Water and Land Conference is a Buddhist ritual, so what does it have to do with Taoism?"

Jia Amnesty knelt down immediately, "I dare not lie, it is true that a Taoist priest has come."

This matter is not important, what is important is that when Jia She knelt down like this, other diners around looked over, and the emperor suppressed his anger and said, "Get up, sit down and talk."

Jia Amnesty sat down honestly and said, "What I know is that our family gave up porridge and food for seven days to perform a religious ceremony, which cost 1000 taels of silver."

Situ Yue not only clicked his tongue, "Is the porridge in your family made of silver?"

During government disaster relief, the standard for porridge is that a bowl of porridge can only be called porridge if the chopsticks are inserted into it. When it comes to folks, it is basically half water and the same as rice, and you can drink 90% full.In comparison, the rice invested by the private sector is not as much as that invested by the government. Another situation is that when the government provides disaster relief, there are too many victims. As long as the moldy rice is not black-heartedly put into the pot, it can save lives. In many cases, it is rice and rice. All kinds of grains are cooked together, such as mung beans, soybeans, and wild vegetable leaves.Most of the porridge donated by rich and noble families is old rice, but even so, you can still have a full meal.In the capital city, some well-to-do families would not drink this kind of porridge. Today, there are 90 people in the capital, and if one in a thousand people drinks porridge, it will definitely alarm the government, not to mention the secret guards who monitor the world. According to the calculation of one-thousandth of 500, according to the current prices, the price of new rice for seven-day porridge will not exceed 100 taels.There is also the water and land meeting, which generally does not exceed [-] taels, so it is said that someone was greedy for money during this sacrifice.Seeing Jia Amnesty, a fool, Situ Yue knew that this guy didn't know how much the price was, and he deserved to be cheated.

The emperor sighed, the shrewd Jia Daishan in the past was so confused that he couldn't even heal his family.

"Marquis Jia En, do you know how much a bucket of rice costs in the capital?" Situ Yue asked Jia She.

"I don't know."

"Fortunately, this person was not allowed to come out on errand." Situ Yue said with emotion to the emperor, and there was a bit of meaning in his words that he survived the disaster.

The emperor sighed again.With a wave of his hand, Jia She retreated in a hurry, and ran away in a gust of wind.

"I think back then, Lao Jia was so shrewd. At that time, those old nobles led by him helped me a lot." The emperor couldn't eat anymore, thinking of his old friends, he fell into memories.

Situ Yue didn't say a word. As a person who aspired to become a powerful minister, it was a compulsory course to study the cronies that appeared in the court before. Back then, the emperor did praise the old nobles and beat some scholars.After all, it's just a word of balance.

"Then Jia Daishan saved my life, I remember it, and you should also remember that one day, the Rongguo Mansion will commit crimes, even if it involves the nine clans, it will give their family a way to survive." You don’t need to involve women and children. Remember, you have to tell Cheng Yue, you don’t need to tell Cheng Yue’s son, Jun Zi Zhi Zhe V shall be beheaded.”

Situ Yue nodded, filled the emperor's cup with wine, picked it up and handed it to him. The emperor drank it all in one gulp, held the cup and thought for a while, and said to Situ Yue, "Come back, I've eaten the rice, and the wine I drank it too. Next time I will take you to see a cockfight."
