The emperor is embarrassed

imperial capital.

It's not that Li Pingzhou didn't think about welcoming the Supreme Emperor back to the palace, but Xu San said, "The matter of His Majesty's poisoning has not yet been investigated. The Supreme Emperor is far away in Yunnan and Guizhou, at least it is safe. As long as the Supreme Emperor is here, the imperial capital will be safe. Li Xiang, the Supreme Emperor is right." We all have the grace to be promoted and reused. However, if the Supreme Emperor does not hesitate because we are eager to welcome the Supreme Emperor back to the imperial capital, then you and I are criminals of the Dafeng Dynasty, Li Xiang."

Xu San's words also hit Li Pingzhou's heart.

Ming Zhan was seriously ill due to poison, and the cause of the poison was unknown, so the court would be unstable.The reason why the world is peaceful and the imperial capital is peaceful today is because the Empress Dowager Wei can suppress the situation; second, the cabinet leaders such as Li Pingzhou and Xu San are loyal and loyal; In the imperial capital, the prestige still exists.

However, as Xu San said, to welcome the Supreme Emperor back to the imperial capital, on the other hand, is to put the Supreme Emperor in crisis, at least Li Pingzhou would not be able to do such a thing.

"Li Xiang, according to my opinion, it won't be too late to welcome the Supreme Emperor back to the emperor after the truth about His Majesty's poisoning comes to light in the future." Xu San suggested.The Zhennan Palace has always been powerful, but now there are advantages and no disadvantages. At least the Zhennan King is the brother of the Supreme Emperor. Moreover, the army of Yunnan and Guizhou is not a small deterrent to the emperor.

Hearing Xu San's words, Li Pingzhou thought about it, and pondered, "The empress dowager..." This powerful woman is not only the mother of the emperor, but also the first wife of the king of Zhennan.If the Empress Dowager Wei had an accident, it would be difficult to explain.Li Pingzhou didn't like Queen Mother Wei, but from the perspective of the cabinet courtiers, he had to think about Queen Mother Wei.

The palace is unstable, but the empress dowager and the empress dowager are still in the palace... Even if Li Pingzhou doesn't think about the empress dowager Wei, he has to think about the empress dowager, the mother of the empress dowager.

"It's better to invite the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager to go to the palace to recuperate." Xu San said this, but he was not sure in his heart. The Empress Dowager Wei is not stupid. It's time.

In this matter, Queen Mother Wei can also be said to be calm.Thinking of this, Li Pingzhou felt a little admiration for Queen Mother Wei.

Li Pingzhou said, "Let's do our duty as courtiers." As for Queen Mother Wei's agreement, that's another matter.

Huaiyang.

Ming Zhan and Ruan Hongfei originally wanted to go to Suzhou, where Wu Nong spoke softly, to live for a while, but the weather was not good, and it rained non-stop for several days, so they had to stay in Xiaozhou Village temporarily.

Because Ruan Hongfei and his party were generous and courteous, they were well liked by the villagers.Even Zhou Yuan, a big family member in the village, also sent people to send post visits.

Zhou Yuanwai can be regarded as a respectable person in Xiaozhou Village, and the three houses in his family, especially Zhou Yuanwai's eldest son, are well-known figures in Xiaozhou Village.He was doing big business outside, and in the past two years alone, Zhou Yuanwai used the money his son earned to buy more than half of the land in several neighboring villages, becoming a real big landlord.

Now that such an out-of-the-way person came to my village, Zhou Yuanwai had some knowledge, so he naturally wanted to send someone to visit him.

In this village, only a self-confident person like Zhou Yuanwai would formally post a visit.Moreover, this post is still bronzing, which shows that he has good financial resources and is quite confident.

After receiving the post from Zhou's family, Yaoguang spontaneously asked the head of the village about the situation of Yuan Zhou's family.

"Zhou Yuanwai's family is well-off, with [-] hectares of land. The eldest son is doing business outside. His name is Zhou Daquan. I heard that Zhou Daquan has also returned to Xiaozhou Village. This time, the husband and the second master will go there. I can see this Uncle Zhou." Yao Guang said, "Sir, according to your instructions, I have prepared some small gifts, and I will take them with me when the time comes, so that the landlord Zhou Laocai will not pick our eyes."

Ming Zhan said, "A landlord with riches, Yaoguang, don't prepare too much money. Don't you expose your wealth?"

Yaoguang hurriedly handed the prepared gift list to Ming Zhan, and Ming Zhan read it carefully before he was speechless.

It's not that Ming Zhan is stingy, although he is indeed stingy, but Ming Zhan can tell the difference between serious and serious.It's human nature to make friends and pay respects.It's just that Ming Zhan doesn't have the temper of being taken advantage of, and he should be more cautious when going out, and there is no serious mistake.

Ruan Hongfei took a few attendants and visited Zhou Yuanwai with Ming Zhan on a rainy day.

Zhou Yuanwai was a slightly fat man, about fifty, with an arrogant look and a three-pointed intimacy, he personally greeted him out of the middle door, and said with a smile, "I heard that there are elegant guests in our Xiaozhou Village, so I rashly posted a post, it's rude and honorable gone."

This is so awkward no matter how you hear it.

Also "I", "our", upon hearing this, Ming Zhan knew that Zhou Yuanwai must be a vagabond with a bottle full of half a bottle, no knowledge and cultivation, and insisted on pretending to be knowledgeable.

Ming Zhan was delighted, and stepped forward and said, "My elder brother and I are deeply honored to have received Mr. Zhou's post. We are bothering Mr. Zhou."

When Zhou Yuanwai heard Ming Zhan call him "Sir", he felt very comfortable.In the past, most of the villagers called him "member outside", which was polite and respectful.Although his family has a hundred hectares of land, and there are women and maids to take care of him on weekdays, they are just ordinary people. These days, there is a clear concept of hierarchy, even the word "lord" is not something that can be called casually.

People who don't have fame can't be called "Master", but this "Sir" makes Zhou Yuanwai feel as if he has eaten ginseng fruit.

Zhou Yuanwai grinned, "Don't dare, it's my honor for you to come." The first greeting was learned by Zhou Yuanwai and the scholar who taught his grandson, so it was half written and half plain.The second sentence completely revealed the bottom line.

Zhou Yuanwai has been to Suzhou city and can speak official dialect.Moreover, after all, he has reached the age of knowing the destiny, and when he heard Ming Zhan's serious official words, he guessed that this pedestrian must have come from the imperial capital. Zhan's hand, laughed and said, "Brother, I really feel like old friends from the moment we meet."

Ming Zhan also laughed twice, and shook Zhou Yuanwai's hand, "Brother, I am the same, hahaha," turning his head to look at the young man with a short beard beside Zhou Yuanwai, Ming Zhan asked with a smile, "Brother, is this my nephew?"

At that time, Zhou Daquan and Ruan Hongfei had already known each other, and they had performed the courtesy.At this time, Zhou Daquan couldn't help being embarrassed when he heard the word "old nephew".Ming Zhan's face was as tender as a boiled egg with its shell peeled off, fortunately he had the face to tell Zhou Daquan about the generation of "old nephew".

Member Zhou also froze, but Ming Zhan couldn't be blamed for this matter, he called Ming Zhan "brother" first, since Ming Zhan was his "brother", Zhou Daquan naturally wanted to call him uncle.

Ruan Hongfei didn't look tender at all in this outfit. He also had a white face and short beard. He was gentle and elegant, and said with a slight smile, "My younger brother and I are ten years younger than me. His temper is out of character, which makes you laugh."

Zhou Daquan laughed and said, "Young Master Song is lively and cute, very rare."

Zhou Yuanwai laughed a few times and invited Ming Zhan and Ruan Hongfei to the table.

Zhou Yuanwai is a well-known figure in Xiaozhou Village. Ming Zhan and Ruan Hongfei came to visit with courtesy and brought a list of gifts. Naturally, Zhou Yuanwai couldn't be rude, so the arrangement of the meeting was very good.

Among them is Ming Zhan's special dish, spicy crayfish.

Member Zhou said with a smile, "We have wild game in the backcountry here. You are the nobles from the imperial capital, so you should try something new."

"The people in our Xiaozhou village have no other advantages except hospitality." Zhou Daquan took his father's words and said with a smile, "This crayfish is especially delicious. I don't know what it is these two years. The reason is that these bugs began to grow in the rice fields, and it was difficult to catch them. At the beginning, there were not so many. It was still in the past two years, and gradually there were more. The folks in the village mostly caught them and chopped them to feed chickens or compost them. Now it seems that they are really reckless. .”

"Especially the name that Young Master Song chose, Little Lobster, it's really nice and delicious." Zhou Daquan praised it again and again.

Although Zhou Daquan can be considered a powerful figure in Xiaozhou Village, he is far inferior to people like Mingzhan Ruan Hongfei.Ming Zhan thought to himself, he just mentioned the name of the crayfish casually, but Zhou Daquan found out clearly this week, and he also knew that the name of the crayfish was given by him, not Ruan Hongfei or Yaoguang Tianheng and others.

It seems that this banquet is well prepared.

Ming Zhan smiled modestly and said, "It's not worth mentioning. I think ordinary shrimps in the river are not small, but they are not as majestic as this kind of shrimp. Besides, it's normal that ordinary people don't know this kind of shrimp. Or should I stay away from my friends?" I saw it occasionally when traveling, so most of the prawns are born in river ditches, with thick shells and little meat. If they are boiled, they are not as good as prawns. Dinner."

Zhou Daquan laughed and said, "Mr. Song is young, but he is well-informed. Zhou admires him."

Ming Zhan laughed, "Thank you, thank you." He responded twice, and no matter how Zhou Daquan tried for the rest of the day, Ming Zhan refused to say a word, only praised the food and talked about romance.

After a while, Ming Zhan and Ruan Hongfei bid farewell and left.

Zhou Yuanwai asked his son, "Daquan, I think their brothers are very good at dealing with people and things, and they are very particular."

Zhou Daquan said, "Well, Dad, I think it's not bad, especially Mr. Song, who looks blessed when he looks at it."

Go back to Li Chang's house.

Ming Zhan and Ruan Hongfei began to murmur, "Do you think that Zhou's origin is not right?"

Ruan Hongfei glanced at Ming Zhan, loosened his belt, and smelled alcohol in his breath, "How do you say that?"

Ming Zhan pushed Ruan Hongfei, "Are you stupid? That crayfish is not from our Dafeng Dynasty at all, it's from overseas. It's no wonder you know it."

After a pause, Ming Zhan blustered, "I was born in a fairy, so I know it naturally. Tell me, how did Zhou Daquan meet? He wants to try us today. Hmph, I see, he is earning money outside It’s not right.” At the end of the sentence, Ming Zhan was quite meaningful, with a pair of small eyes, and he looked at Ruan Hongfei with a grimace.

Ruan Hongfei rubbed his brows and said, "Look at Zhou Laocai is white and fat, but Zhou Daquan's complexion is slightly brown and rough. The sun is strong on the sea, and the sea wind is also strong. People who live on the sea have such a complexion. Or, I see Zhou Daquan's arms are round and waist thick, his fingers are thick and strong, and when he holds him, there are thick calluses on his palms, he is not a pampered person. The big boss who makes money at sea is definitely not like him. I thought, even if he It's just living at sea, and it's definitely not an important person."

Ming Zhan nodded while feeling quite proud in his heart: Sure enough, he deserves to be his wife!Sentence by sentence, there is a lot of analysis in place, and it is extraordinarily incisive and reasonable.

Ruan Hongfei looked at Ming Zhan's face flushed and smirking after drinking some wine, and disgusted: This fat man is getting more and more stupid.On the one hand, he became emotional for some reason, and his fingers involuntarily touched Ming Zhan's face.

Ming Zhan and Ruan Hongfei have been together for many years, now seeing Ruan Hongfei's emotion, he thought, Lao Tzu's charm is really increasing day by day, there is nothing to hook up with, his family Feifei is like a wolf face, as a husband, it is really a sense of accomplishment up.Ming Zhan was so proud that he couldn't help giggling and laughing strangely. Before Ruan Hongfei stepped forward, he rushed forward!

He was still screaming strangely, "Honey, let my husband satisfy you! Oooohoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"
