Qingzhou trip

The renovation of the academy was proceeding in an orderly manner, and the proposal to build a watchtower inside and outside the city was immediately accepted by King Jin.Although Li Mo hesitated a little because he also considered the hidden worry of peeping from a high place, Zhao Yifang didn't care, "A few streets away, can you tell what it is? Even if you can see it, all the people who come in and out will be reassigned to go out from the house." It’s okay if you don’t.”

"Your Highness, this is..." Fascinated by the female county magistrate, whatever Xie Penglai suggested, as long as Zhao Yifang weighed it up and made sense, he would follow through.The money has not been transferred to the hand yet, so it will be used by the Prince Jin Mansion for private use.If this goes on like this, within a few years the majestic Prince Jin Mansion will have to be evacuated.

"Yanzhou, Qinzhou and Weizhou are not places where this king can stay. There are too many eyes and ears, and the foundation of the former officials is wrong. Since I made up my mind to stay in the sand sea, this king is ready to smash into the entire palace property." Zhao Yifang also knows Luzhou's fortune. In addition to the annual donation, the actual contracted military expenditure of Liuzhou is only 30 taels of silver.This amount of money is not enough to cover half a year's expenses from top to bottom, and the states and counties are stretched thin, and they are even more crying and poor when encountering military wars.

I have to find the newly appointed transfer envoy to make some connections, but before that, I have to write some unreasonable letters to Jingli to explain the whole story.She has never been good at such things, but right now she has the most suitable pen catcher.

"Li Mei, ask the cook to make some northern food and wrap it up. At noon, I'll go find Master Xie in person." Zhao Yifang changed clothes in the dormitory after finishing her orders.When the weather got colder, she also gave Xie Penglai some clothes, but she never wore them. Every time she came to the mansion, she would wear a robe that was gray and washed white.

Master Xie himself doesn't care about food and clothing, nor does he care about what King Jin wears.Thinking of this, King Jin took off the hairpin from his hair, and simply followed Xie Penglai's example and wrapped strips of cloth around the high bun.

"Your Highness, Fan Shu's family has sent another letter." Li Mo still had this hot thing in his arms.From official to privy envoy, Fan Shu is the number one person in the West Mansion.Lu Jie, the political counselor of Hedong Mansion, was called "Lv Fan".There is a folk proverb, "Lu Fan, Lu Fan, recruited bandits and repeatedly committed crimes."It was these two "peacemaker officials" who were scolding for backing down every inch, which attracted Beixia and Xiliao to press on every step of the way.

Fan Shucheng's youngest son was once favored by the emperor and wanted to be "King Shang Jin".He was a high-spirited Jinshi of the new department, and he was passed on to this family. When he was full of enthusiasm, he boasted that he was a "student of the Emperor of Duojin".Zhao Yifang whipped him from the second floor of the restaurant in the capital to the street.After two bones were broken, he was bedridden for half a year, and the marriage failed, but this person couldn't forget Zhao Yifang.

"Here." Zhao Yifang smiled after taking the letter and scanning it, "It is said that I want to ask the emperor to go to the northwest, even if I am a Sima who joins the army, I will help me."

"I'm afraid he didn't come here to help, and I don't know how many troubles he will cause if he opens his mouth." Li Mo knew that after the word "Duojin" came out, there was a sudden wave of gambling in the capital, and everyone wanted to see Jin who had inherited the mantle of King Shang. Who will be the king?

But Zhao Yifang refused to accept when reprimanded by the emperor, "Ke Yifang is not a dodder girl, nor is she a flowing peach blossom."Grandmother raised her children to be self-respecting, neither flattering nor flattering.

"Let him come. There are still many people in the capital who want to climb the dragon and become the phoenix, just come. If you don't pinch them, I won't be able to make a fortune." Zhao Yifang smiled "haha" and looked at the bronze mirror again.

The appeasement envoys of the three states were not easy to leave through the main entrance. The merchants, the people, and even Beixia's secret agents all kept an eye on the mansion secretly.King Jin, dressed in regular clothes without hairpin decorations, was carrying the still warm Beishi like an ordinary man in charge of the palace.She went straight to the county government office and the academy, but found that Xie Penglai was not there.

When I turned to the courtyard behind the county government office, I saw the courtyard door was closed.Talking and laughing came from inside, and Zhao Yifang only heard a man say, "Walking from Xitou to Shahai for more than five months, this is the first time I've had this kind of wine. Mr. Xie is really generous, and Kong Xian admires it." .”

Just pour a few glasses with yourself, and talk and laugh with others.Zhao Yifang's pretty eyebrows almost stood upside down, and she didn't know whether to send in or take away the things in her hands.

"Toutuo is self-effacing. This is the best-selling 'Purple Sparrow'. Shahai people like strong alcohol. I didn't expect you to like it when you are used to staying in the capital." Xie Penglai then asked, "Northern Xia people Don’t you know how much you’ve spent on drinks all these years?”

"The tribute from this dynasty is naturally not enough." Toutuo, who called himself "Kong Xian", did not take care of the face of the dynasty when he said, "Northern Xia people mostly use sorghum to make wine, and now you can see wine shops in Xiajing market or border villages. "

After listening to Zhao Yifang, she realized that the two of them didn't just talk about wine, they chatted casually about the customs and landscapes of the western countries, and the promotion and promotion of nobles.She hung the few bags of food on the door knocker, then patted on the door and left quickly.

"Who?" Xie Penglai opened the door curiously and looked around, seeing something on the knocker.It was hot in her hand, and after sniffing, she was slightly happy. "I'm afraid that my naughty apprentice won't bother me when he sees that I have a guest, so he will leave with some food." While talking, she was shocked when she opened it. Isn't this cooking method from Prince Jin's mansion?

The black-faced Toutuo sitting across from her with a beard on his face laughed, "Who knows that Toutuo has had wine and meat in his intestines?"

Xie Penglai put the food in front of him, and said with a smile, "I'm afraid it is." But his heart wavered.The person who came was probably King Jin, so he left after hearing that she had a guest.Although King Jin is domineering and straightforward, he can also be so elegant and considerate sometimes.

When it comes to being considerate, from dressing and eating to asking about policies and policies, King Jin treats himself more than just knowing him.A few years ago, the Linglong girl in Jibei County would really remember it because of a poetry meeting?

"Master Xie, is there something on your mind?" Toutuo grabbed the mutton and stuffed it wildly into his mouth. After wiping his beard, he smiled and looked at his old friend whom he met several years ago.

"How did Toutuo see it?" Xie Penglai didn't hide it, and suddenly smiled over the mouth of his cup.

"A wave of sorrow leads thousands of miles away. Although Toutuo doesn't know the world, he knows that this meat is not easy." Kong Xian ate his mouth full of oil, "It's delicious, this is the authentic way of northern food, I didn't expect Shahai to come Such a great cook."

The cook is great, but it can be seen that Xie Penglai's melancholy is even worse.Xie Penglai settled down and continued to eat, drink and chat with Kong Xian.

Zhao Yifang wandered around in the market, many people in the cottages in Huaxiang recognized her, so it was inconvenient to find Liu Qinsang to listen to the piano.The wine alley is a good place to go, and it is also rewarding to listen to alley discussions occasionally. The phrase "Duojin Emperor's disciple" was heard in the restaurant.

The wine of "Purple Sparrow" is indeed strong, and Xie Penglai is willing to try it if she favors it.When Zhao Yifang arrived, it was already the time when there were the most lunch guests.In desperation, he shared a table with someone, and when he sat down, he found that it was Yun Bailu, who was drinking wine while clutching his neck.

"It seems that the work of serving and studying is still too leisurely." Zhao Yifang signaled Yun Bailu to stop talking with his eyes, and Yun Bailu poured her a cup. Toutuo talked a lot over there, and thought I was in the way." Kong Xian had met her once, but she was not familiar with her.

This was also rejected by Master Xie.But choosing a date is worse than bumping into it, and asking someone secretly is worse than guessing, "Why is Master Xie still single?"

Yun Bailu smiled and waved his hands, "I don't understand either? My father once offered to thank Teacher Xie for his kiss, and she was unwilling. But it's right not to agree. That general would have died long ago, otherwise Xie Shi would be troubled." The teacher became a widow."

Zhao Yifang turned around and changed her to a better wine, she stared at Yun Bailu with burning eyes, "Does Master Xie like women?"

Yun Bailu turned his face away, "I don't dare to guess. You have to ask Master Xie." A face was caught by King Jin's ears, and Zhao Yifang smiled, "Could it be you?"

Almost spit out a mouthful of wine, Yun Bailu became anxious, "How is it possible? I...I am", not right now, but sooner or later it must be Yueniang's.But it is rare to see King Jin's red eyes in a hurry to thank the teacher, Yun Bailu only let it go, "A man and a woman whom the teacher admired... all passed away."

Seeing that King Jin was obviously relieved, he drank several cups of spirits in a row, but couldn't hold back the drunkenness for a while, Zhao Yifang rubbed her head, "If I don't die, this king will also thank Master and become a widow."

Yun Bailu gasped, "That won't work, my husband may not be willing to marry Xie Shi again." If he really entered the Jin Palace, the emperor would be the first to refuse.It's all for folk girls to form a bond, where is the royal dignity?

"This king is also a widow, so it's fair."

Yun Bailu finally spit out a mouthful of wine.
