Chapter 34 Ye Weiyang, the jade bowl filled with amber light
The solar terms come early this year, and before July, geese are already flying north and south outside the city, and the forests are completely dyed, and cotton bolls can be seen everywhere in the fields, and the waves of wheat are golden. If the flames of war were not about to ignite, this should have been It is a great year of "both public and private warehouses are full of fruit".
The so-called "thunderstorms start from Yaodian, and the teacher comes before the prestige", before the war between the capital and Jinyuan, they have already made their own momentum. There are many mouths in the world.
The little emperor's actions included several major crimes of the Jin king, such as "usurping the power of the court, allowing himself to be prestige, arbitrarily cutting off all opportunities, and avoiding prohibitions".On the side of the king of Jin, he held high the banner of righteousness of "protecting the country's fortune, and the Qing emperor's side", and drafted an proclamation to tell the people that there are sycophants around the little emperor, so that he can "respect the remnant thieves, trust the treacherous slander, kill the loyal and upright, poison the soul, and slow down." Heaven insults the earth, goes against the law and reason.”
At the same time, King Jin even sent people to spread the news, saying that the little emperor conspired to kill Prince Mingcheng regardless of brotherhood, and took the opportunity to usurp his throne.Three people become a tiger, and one mouth makes money. No matter whether it is true or not, if you spread it ten times or ten times, it will become true.If the name of the emperor's throne for the little nephew is unfair, it is understandable for the uncle to come forward to uphold justice.
On the fifth night of Qiaolou, the king of Jin had already buried his head behind the table and started handling official affairs.The war is imminent, and he, the prince, Qiantui, has no choice but to show his vigor and readiness to prepare for the attack.It wasn't until the concubine cooked the meal and sent it to the study that he raised his head from the pile of books and papers and took the time to stretch his stiff muscles.
The breakfast looks very simple, only one porridge, one snack, and a few dishes of delicate side dishes.It's just that the porridge is made of ginseng and japonica rice, the dim sum is steamed with bird's nest and sweet-scented osmanthus, and the pickled side dishes are simmered with Jinhua ham and chicken broth.
Glancing at the various foods placed on the silver plate of the marigold, King Jin couldn't help laughing at himself secretly. Although he hadn't been an emperor for half a day in his life, he was no different from the emperor in terms of wealth and luxury. Qin Se and Ming are deeply affectionate, even if ten or a hundred emperors come to him, they will not change.
Thinking of this, he involuntarily walked to the window and looked towards the quiet small courtyard in the distance.It had just rained the night before, and the green brick path was washed clean, and the plane trees were covered with deep and shallow sycamore leaves, and there was a faint smell of mud everywhere.Unexpectedly, that long-lost figure appeared in the yard, barefoot in thought, only covered by a plain white gown, with black hair loosely tied on the top of his head, and a long sword in his hand was flying up and down, dancing like crazy. The robes are graceful and majestic.
On the other side of the yard, Niu Huang and the little fox were squatting side by side on the steps and watching foolishly.Niu Huang held half a pancake in his hand, Xu Shi was stunned by Shensi Wujian, he held it up in the air and forgot to eat it, and the little fox ate it all up.When Niuhuang thought about it and put it in his mouth again, unfortunately he missed it, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" he almost bit his own fingertips.The big living man was played by an animal, Niu Huang was so angry that he jumped up and wanted to chase the little fox, who knew that the little fox ran up to the eaves with a flash of nimbleness, kept kicking his hind legs, and kicked him down. A large piece of tile was hitting Niu Huang's forehead, and Niu Huang was dizzy and screaming, but he had no choice but to yell at the roof with his hands on his hips and his neck stretched out.
This "Human-Fox War" amused the contemplation and laughed out loud, and also made King Jin in the study couldn't help laughing.He couldn't tell whether Niu Huang's angry look was more ridiculous, or he was infected by his thoughtful and carefree smile. In short, the exhaustion accumulated for several days was swept away like this, and even the cold air he inhaled through his nose was sweet and refreshing.
The concubine put the hot porridge into a white jade bowl, and ordered someone to bring clean water to clean the hands of King Jin.She called "Shou Zhi" twice in a row, but the other party didn't respond. She couldn't help but walked to King Jin's side curiously and followed her gaze. When she saw it, she knew it in her heart, but she pretended to be puzzled and smiled. : "Why, the scenery in the garden is better today than in the past?"
King Jin came back to his senses and nodded embarrassingly: "It's not that there is a scene in the garden, it's that there is a scene in my heart."
The princess let him sit down at the table, served the chopsticks in person, and murmured softly: "The days pass so quickly, the first time the cool breeze arrives, the second time the white dew is born, and the third time the chilly cicadas Ming, it’s been another year in a blink of an eye. I remember the last time I went out to hunt in the city. When Nianqing came back from hunting a tiger, I asked the old master to tan a mattress with the whole skin. It was soft and warm. I will help you when the weather gets cooler. You take it out."
"That's right, the autumn wind is blowing in the Fen River again, and the scorched leaves are all over the Jinyuan..." King Jin agreed casually, before the mattress was used, his heart was already very ironed.
While chatting, a confidant came in and received a signal from the King of Jin. He bowed and whispered back: "My lord, I will send a report from the front. In the Huaiqing Mansion, the soldiers did not move, and the other road continued to go northward, and went to Zhending Mansion, as if they were going to join forces with the soldiers and horses under the Governor's Mansion of the Zuo Army, and encircled Jinyuan with the momentum of encirclement."
The King of Jin pondered for a moment, and said to himself: "Stand still? It's too cautious. If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move. Let's spend it together..." Slowly sipping a spoonful of porridge, the King of Jin ordered his subordinates to say , "Go and tell Mr. Shen that the weather is so fine today, the king invited him to herd horses in the outskirts of the city. By the way, tell him that the king has got a few good horses from the Western Regions, and he wants to have a race with his 'Zhanfeng'. The loser will be punished with three urns of wine."
King Jin couldn't understand Shen Si better, just talking about letting the horse go, Shen Xiaowu might not be willing to come here because of his bad temper, but if he wanted to challenge his BMW and riding skills, that kid would definitely refuse to admit defeat.
Sure enough, Shen Si not only agreed to the challenge, but also said arrogantly that the "three urns of fine wine" bet is really nothing, if he loses the battle, he will never drink again.
The black pony named "Zhanfeng" was more competitive than his owner. He had just set up the saddle bridge and was already kicking and kicking.Over the past few months, accidents have happened frequently, it can only be locked in the stable every day, it has not run smoothly for a long time, its whole body has already suffocated its strength, as long as it meditates and lightly pinches the horse's belly for a signal, it will be as invincible as an arrow that leaves the string. Dust away.Seeing this, Jin Wang and others hurriedly mounted their horses and chased after them, but unfortunately they tried their best, but they could only touch a nimble figure from a distance.
The wind whizzed past the ears, making the cheeks of contemplation ache, and the yellow mud path and the dense trees on both sides were pulled into countless thin lines, flying past the eyes.The sky is blue and shining, there is no cloud in the sky, and the pale yellow weeds are swaying with the wind.The creek gushes out from the crevices of the rocks, gallops happily all the way, and merges into the vast Fen River.
Meditation rode a horse into the vast mountain forest like a fish swimming into the sea.Suddenly, there was a movement in front, the birds flew up, the branches exploded, it turned out that the frightened herd of deer marched in a group, scattered and fled amidst the sound of horseshoes, looking for a way out.
Shen Si folded her bridle, reined in her mount, bent her bow and set her arrows at the herd of deer.Within the field of vision, the two deer standing alone didn't know whether they were frightened or stupid, or they knew that there was no hope of escape, so they stopped in their tracks, turned their heads and looked timidly in thought.Judging from the body shape, it should be a doe with a fawn. The doe licks the calf affectionately, and protects the fawn tightly behind her back with her body. Her eyes are dark and shiny, like two gemstones in the water.
Shen Si raised his arms steadily and tightened his bowstring, as if silently confronting the two deer. After a long time, he sighed helplessly and slowly lowered his hands.For some reason, the look in the doe's eyes inexplicably reminded him of the lost relatives, and for a moment, he felt sad and couldn't help himself.
A faint mourning sound came from thousands of miles above the sky, and looking up in deep thought, it turned out to be a lone goose fluttering its wings, like a drop of inconspicuous ink on a blue scroll.The hanging shadow is divided into thousands of geese, and its roots are scattered into nine autumn canopies. I don't know if its brothers and sisters are also like peng grass, forced to be separated into the world, and it is left alone.
With a sigh of relief, he rushed to the top of the peak, stood on the edge of the cliff and looked far into the distance. The mountains, rivers and lakes stretching for hundreds of miles under his feet were shrouded in dazzling halos. The great country that my father devoted himself to defend.His father had earnestly hoped that this country would be clean and clean, with well-grown fields and fields, and that the Great Zhou, which he was loyal to, would coexist with the heaven and the earth, and shine with the sun and the moon.
Fame is not yet a man's business, and his heart is tied to his heart. His father and brothers can no longer wait for the day when their long-cherished wishes will be fulfilled, but as for myself, have I just stayed in Jinwang's mansion to waste my time?
"Nianqing is indeed a heroic young man, I am convinced." At some point, King Jin finally rushed up panting, he urged his horse to the side of Shen Si, stood there to build an awning and looked around, his tone could not stop Cozy and proud, "How's the autumn scenery in Jindi? Can it still catch the eyes of General Shen?"
Shen Si answered the question, and said calmly: "Jinyuan is high in the north and low in the south, with many mountains and hills, uplifts on the east and west sides, and a subsidence basin in the middle. Beikang Mountain' is called a "majestic city" in the art of war, and it cannot be attacked. But these advantages are only for the imperial court. Don't forget that Jin was originally an important frontier fortress, and it was adjacent to Tatar in the north. In case Tatar sent troops at this time, Jinyuan will be attacked from the front and rear, and it will be difficult to protect itself."
"Uh..." Jin Wang's full stomach was choked back instantly, he gulped and spit, tsk, why did he forget that this black boy is an incomprehensible guy, I'm afraid the three mountains and five mountains are looking at him In the eyes, it is almost the same as the mound with a small flag on the sand table... No matter how much he slanders in his heart, the King of Jin still tells each other with a gentle face, "Nian Qing, don't worry, I have sent someone from Tatar to find out We have received solid and reliable news that Gulich Khan is dying of illness and will pass away soon, and the two brothers Buxian and Haribah are now vying for the position of Khan, and I am afraid that within a year or so, there will be no time to look around."
Nodding thoughtfully, after a moment of silence, he asked King Jin again: "I heard from the princess, how many new tiger squat cannons have been added to General Zhang Shijie's camp?"
King Jin was taken aback for a moment, and then raised his eyebrows resignedly, obviously he was the one who was under one person and above ten thousand people, how come in front of Shen Xiaowu, he can only answer honestly?There is also her incompetent daughter, who can only inquire about important military and political affairs in private, so why should she go around beating gongs and drums to publicize what family background her father is hiding in her hands?well……
Without waiting for King Jin to answer, Shen Siwu analyzed: "This cannon is two feet long from the beginning to the end. The cannon head is supported by two oblique iron claws. It is more flexible and suitable for field combat. When it is fired, the projectiles of all sizes fly out together. , The roar is like thunder, not only has great lethality, but can also quickly destroy the enemy's formation, the army of the Great Zhou Dynasty is mainly infantry, and it is most effective to use it to fight."
Hearing Shen Si's words, the King of Jin was very surprised: "Unexpectedly, Nian Qing also has a lot of research on new firearms. What you said is very true. I am discussing with A Yuan to set up several elite cavalry battalions based on the Shen family army, each with 3000 troops. People, equipped with [-] cannons. Most of the troops sent by the imperial court this time are the guards of the Beijing camp. Although the soldiers are young and strong, they lack actual combat experience because they have been paid too much for many years. Boom, then attack with heavy armored cavalry, divide and break them, and hope to annihilate them in one fell swoop." He was excited, but suddenly thought of something, "By the way, Nian Qing, I was reading "Wu Jing Zong Yao" a few days ago, and the above mentioned See something called 'Thunderbolt Cannon Poison Fireball', it is said to be very powerful, do you know?"
Shen Si hesitated for a while, and answered after consideration: "This object was used as early as in the 'Battle of Quarrying' led by Yu Yunwen in the Southern Song Dynasty. In addition to gunpowder, it also contained wolf's poison, arsenic, croton, lime, and asphalt. When it explodes, it can generate poisonous smoke, causing the poisoned person to bleed from the mouth and nose and fall to the ground. In my opinion, even though this object can quickly defeat the enemy, it is too insidious and contrary to morality, and it should not be used in war.”
King Jin quickly waved his hands when he heard the words: "Don't worry, Nianqing, I just asked a few questions out of curiosity."
After a while, Shen Si raised the corners of his lips and smiled faintly: "I know...otherwise I won't say anything."
Jin Wang squinted his lips, and also laughed.
Now that they have gone up the mountain, they cannot return empty-handed. With the permission of King Jin, a few young guards followed the footprints of the wild beasts, and soon succeeded in rounding up a black-haired wild boar weighing more than a hundred catties. Rabbit, let alone.
On the way back home with a full load of spoils, the King of Jin ordered someone to roast the most tender piece of meat from the front fan bone of the wild boar to make it a side dish, and asked him to ponder, "How about having dinner together in the water pavilion at night?"
Shen Si blinked noncommittally: "Is there any good wine?"
Jin Wang smiled: "Whether it is Shaoxing's daughter red, Guilin's Sanhua Niang, Xiaoyi's lamb milk, Nanyue's Luofuchun, or Jinyuan's Zhuyeqing... as long as you can name it, Nianqing, in my palace Everything should be there.”
After listening to Shen Si, she neither answered nor reacted, she just turned her head and left in a hurry.The attendants were puzzled and looked at King Jin one after another, but they were even more amazed when they saw that King Jin was giving orders in an orderly manner with a calm expression on his face.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the barbecue was served and the wine was unsealed, Mr. Shen would come back punctually, taking a bath and changing clothes to make himself refreshed.He was wearing a plain and half-worn gown, his hair was loosely pulled up, tied only by a forehead band, and water dripped from the tip of his hair, his posture was more casual than in his own bedroom.
King Jin could see more clearly than anyone else that Shen Xiaowu was lured by the wine worms. When he read out a long list of wine names, he clearly saw the boy's Adam's apple move. What is it if you are not so greedy that you are drooling?As for coming and going in a hurry, it must be because they are afraid that the good wine will be tasted first by others.
The wild pork is fresh and tender, but it is even more delicious after being cooked by the royal chef's ingenious workmanship. It has a different flavor than the usual delicacies.
There were no outsiders around, so the King of Jin greeted softly: "Ah Qu, come over and have a drink together." After waiting for a long time without seeing anyone, he raised his volume slightly and called out, "Ah Qu?"
After a while, Tu Mo'er floated out from some corner, quietly sat down at the bottom, bowed slightly to King Jin, and began to eat and drink quietly.
Ever since I heard about the life experiences of Tu Mo'er and others from the princess, when I get along with them, I can't help but pay more attention to them.Normally, Tu Mo'er would personally protect the King of Jin, and he could not be caught by ghosts, but now sitting at the same table and meditating, he could truly see the appearance of the other party.Tu Moer always hangs his neck down, his long hair hangs down to cover half of his face, if this half is exposed, his forehead is already covered with hard and dry scars in the shape of fish scales, which is hideous and terrifying, only his slender eyebrows and eyes can be discerned in the past handsome appearance.
Thinking back ten years ago that a young master Pian Pianjia ended up in such an end, Shen Si couldn't help but feel infinitely sad.The same family was ruined in an instant, and he was also burdened with blood and deep vengeance. At least he could still show his real name to others with dignity, and there were still people who loved and loved him. He was regarded as a jewel and treasure. In fact, it was considered a great fortune among misfortunes...
Just as he was thinking wildly, Tu Mo'er suddenly raised his head and looked over at Shen Si's eyes. Shen Si was just about to put a glass of wine into his mouth when he was inadvertently startled. The wine choked his nose, which aroused him Coughing.Seeing this, King Jin quickly reached out to help him pat his back, and teased in a low voice: "Even if you are greedy for alcohol, you have to be patient. You are so strong in martial arts, are you afraid that you won't be able to catch others?"
Shen Si always chatted and laughed with Jin Hulu, Niu Huang and others on weekdays, and was used to being one with regardless of superiority or inferiority. At this moment, he was so forgetful that he shot a chisel back at King Jin.King Jin was unprepared, and he froze when he hit his forehead with a "boom".
No matter how approachable or approachable he is, no matter how humble he is, a prince is a prince after all, and he must always be respectful in front of others.Seeing the slight change in King Jin's face, everyone stopped their movements, bowed and stood aside silently, not even daring to move their eyes.The entire water pavilion was silent for a while, only the wind blowing the curtains rustled.
At this time, Shen Si also noticed his gaffe. He planned to cough dryly to ease the embarrassment, but he couldn't hold back the cough before the intensity of the cough was over. The whole house could only hear him coughing suppressedly.
For a long time, King Jin raised his hand and touched his forehead with a strange expression, shook his head self-deprecatingly, then smiled and stroked Shen Si's back to help him breathe, and sighed softly: "You..."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after watching their words and expressions. After a while, there were gradually slight chewing sounds and the crisp sound of chopsticks touching dishes.
The food is almost finished, but the wine is not enough.The king of Jin ordered people to remove the greasy food from the table, put some fresh vegetables and vegetables on the low table together with the aged liquor, and pulled Shen Si to sit opposite each other on the Arhat couch, and began to drink slowly.With the blessing of fine wine, the atmosphere became much warmer, and the smile on the pensive face became more and more real.
After a while, a servant came back and said that Mr. Ge Xiaobai happened to pass by. He heard that the prince was drinking here, and wanted to come in and play a piano for him to help him enjoy himself.King Jin has been busy preparing for the war these days, and has no more energy to deal with the young masters in the back garden. Ge Xiaobai encountered a setback in his repeated requests to see him, so he couldn't help getting angry with himself, and lost a lot of weight in just a few days lock up.Now that he has come, the King of Jin couldn't be more kind to him, so he ordered someone to "invite" Mr. Ge in.
As soon as Ge Xiaobai entered the door, Shen Si was amused by his posture as if he was facing an enemy, and he said that he "just happened to pass by", and he clearly "came prepared". , there was a burst of fragrant wind when walking, the eyebrows were carefully traced with dark blue, and a little rouge was dotted between the lips, what a handsome man with red lips and white teeth.Looking at Ge Xiaobai, then at himself, he smacked his lips in deep thought, and Gulu swallowed his wine.
Ge Xiaobai ignored his contemplation, and his big black and white eyes just flew towards King Jin: "What song does the lord want to listen to, Xiaobai will make a fool of himself today. I just hope that the lord will listen to my song, and don't forget the "God-given world" song. Match people'."
He didn't realize what he said after thinking about it, but King Jin could understand it.Ge Xiaobai clearly knew that he and Shen Si had never had sex in bed, so he pretended to be frivolous, trying to overwhelm Shen Si with the attitude of a "comer", but unfortunately he really overestimated Shen Si in this, let alone Shen Xiaowu. If you don't understand those obscene words and prose, even if you understand, you won't be aware that the other party is provoking them.The more Ge Xiaobai became jealous, the more Jin Wang refused to accommodate him. Instead, he nodded with a smile on his face and asked Shen Si: "Is there any song Nian Qing wants to hear?"
Shen Si is a rough man, not good at guessing people's hearts. Since King Jin asked, he answered truthfully: "I know very little about the songs and articles. I'm drinking happily at the moment. It's not too late to do arty things later. I said it's better to add another pair of cups and chopsticks, and invite Mr. Ge to sit here and make fists, and drink a few cups."
Ge Xiaobai was already unhappy when he saw that the King of Jin always asked Shen Si for his opinions on every matter, but he was even more dissatisfied when he heard Shen Si say that he played the piano as "arty". A man of temperament can drink so freely. It's just that "arty" people like me can only serve wine with poems and music, but can't roll up our sleeves and punch out orders like a reckless man in the market. "
No matter how slow Shen Si was, he could still hear the sarcasm implied in the other party's words. He looked up at King Jin, and King Jin happened to look at him, and they both looked at each other and smiled, only taking Ge Xiaobai's words as It was the young master's temper, and he didn't take it to heart.
This tacit understanding seemed to Ge Xiaobai to be more and more irritating, and he saw a chessboard on the table next to him from the corner of the eye, and he suggested angrily: "Since Mr. Shen doesn't like rhythm, you and I will play a game of chess." How about it? In ancient times, the sages of Yao and Shun used chess to teach their sons, but now you and my brother make friends with chess, what do you think, Mr. Shen?"
Ge Xiaobai is a talented man from Jinyuan, who is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. He asked Shen Si to play chess, and he made it clear that he wanted to use chess skills to give Shen Si a blow, so as to relieve his anger.Not only King Jin could see this point clearly, but he also understood it when he meditated.The King of Jin was afraid that Shen Si would suffer some grievances, so he immediately stepped forward to stop him and said, "Nianqing just drank a lot of wine, and his eyes are sleepy. I'm afraid he can't even tell the difference between sunspots and whites. If you want to play chess, there will be opportunities in the future."
Who knows that Shen Si didn't accept his kindness at all: "Hey, the world says that Li Taibai, the poet, can win a hundred poems in a wine fight. How do you know that I can't win a hundred games in a wine fight. It's better to be drunk. Lu Dongbin is very powerful when he is drunk. It's true that Tieguai Li Xuan is drunk when he hits his heels and knees. If you are drunk, you will not be drunk, and you will not be drunk when you step. Then pay 'Yunyaozi' and get it."
As soon as the words fell, Hu Buxi hurried over and trotted over, still shamelessly flattering: "Yes, yes, I will come right away, the young master is really talented, so there are so many sayings about playing chess when drunk, old slave really Really taught."
Hu Buxi has always been bullying and fearful of the hard-nosed, he used to look down on Shen Si's ordinary appearance, rustic clothes, and always looked at people with his nostrils, but now knowing that King Jin hurts Shen Si to the apex of his heart, he can't wait to kneel down and lick the soles of Mr. Shen's feet.It's a pity that this flattery was slapped on the horse's leg. Shen Si didn't appreciate it at all. He knew how much he weighed. Eight thousand miles.
The chessboard is set, how old is Inge Xiaobai, and he grabs a handful of white pieces in his hand as a "guess first".Without thinking too much about it, Shen Si picked up a black coin and threw it on the table. Ge Xiaobai spread out his palm, and it happened to be an odd number, so Shen Si took the black coin first and dropped a coin.
King Jin poured a glass of wine and held it in his hand and slowly sipped it. His eyes were also focused on the chessboard, and he was prepared to make a point or two when Shensi was weak, so that Shensi's loss would not be too tragic.But Shen Si didn't even look at him, and just fought with Ge Xiaobai between square inches.The two play chess very fast, and in the eyes of others, there is almost no time to think. The black and white two push and pull, one pass and one break, one break and one jump. Deal with tricks and deal with them calmly.
Before King Jin finished his glass of wine, the two of them had already finished. After counting, Ge Xiaobai narrowly won by one son.Shen Si didn't take it seriously when he lost. He still drank happily and talked and laughed as usual. Ge Xiaobai won but was not reconciled to winning.After taking a few sips of wine, Ge Xiaobai said to Shen Si: "The battle just now was too hasty and I didn't enjoy it to the fullest. How about you and I fighting again?"
Shen Si raised his eyebrows and looked at him for a moment, with a half-smile on his face: "Playing chess with Mr. Ge has also benefited a lot. Since you have this intention, I will accompany you to the end."
This time it was Ge Xiaobai who took the black position, he took advantage of the first move to gain the upper hand everywhere, and his speed was much slower than before, and he had the ruthlessness not to give up until he was taught a lesson.Unexpectedly, at the end of the game, they still narrowly won by one piece.Cold sweat dripped from the temples on Ge Xiaobai's forehead. Could it be that he has really met a master?But judging from Shen Si's consistent performance, it doesn't look like it. He can only comfort himself in his heart. Shen Si must have had good luck, so he was lucky enough to lose only one hand twice. He just needs to be more cautious, so that If you show your true skills, you won't be able to subdue that black boy.
At first, King Jin also thought that Shen Si didn't know anything about chess skills. Seeing that he lost to Ge Xiaobai, King Jin was impressed.After all, Ge Xiaobai has worked hard on this and has also been taught by a famous teacher.When he saw that Shen Si still only lost one son the second time, Jin Wang knew that he was playing Ge Xiaobai on purpose, and he also blamed Ge Xiaobai for being too conceited and didn't know how to stop in time, so he could only bring himself to humiliate himself .
Watching Shen Si get the limelight, Jin Wang felt both amusing and proud.He has seen countless beautiful men in his life. Thinking about it carefully, all of them are either picturesque or gentle like jade. It is not an exaggeration to compare them with the posture of pines and cypresses and the demeanor of Mei Lan. , it seems too dull, and the beauty is so beautiful that it is lifeless.Shensi is like a little beast galloping around in the wild, unable to catch up with it, unable to catch it, opening its mouth to bite when cornered, and might even see blood.But no matter how disheartened and brutal that guy is, he is still alive and well, and it makes people scratch their heads and worry about him.
Ge Xiaobai is an extremely stubborn person, he does not do what the King of Jin expected, and he is not reluctant to fight Shen Si in the third game.This time he moved extremely slowly, every step was carefully considered and reconsidered, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't close the gap with Shen Si in the end.
Three wins in three rounds, but the opponent only loses one piece every time. The two sides of the game will decide whether to judge. Even a complete layman can see the mystery of this.Ge Xiaobai's face gradually turned blue and gray, with a look of despair, he sat down for a while, then stood up with the corner of the table, forced a smile: "My lord, it's late at night, Xiaobai is very tired, so I will leave first It's gone." After speaking, he staggered and walked out, and when he went down the steps, he missed his foot, but fortunately, the little boy who was accompanying him had quick eyesight and a quick hand to help him, so that he didn't fall and get hurt.
The wall collapsed and everyone pushed, Hu Buxi was still talking coldly beside him and muttering in a low voice: "Oh, this person, face is earned and lost by himself. If you don't have diamonds, don't take on the porcelain work. It's like our family has no roots. If you are a good man, you shouldn't imitate other people's extravagant expectations of a virtuous wife and filial son..."
Although Shen Si didn't like Ge Xiaobai's aloof and lofty appearance, he hated Hu Buxi's villainous tone even more, so he immediately interrupted Hu Buxi's words: "Mr. Bar."
As the chief manager, Hu Buxi didn't need to do these errands and miscellaneous jobs, but since Shen Si had told him, he naturally refused to let go of this great opportunity to flatter, and immediately ran out with two bowed legs, wishing he could Use a cinnabar pen to clearly write the three characters "dog slave" on the forehead.
Shen Si pushed the chessboard indiscriminately, leaned comfortably on the cushion, pointed at Hu Buxi's back and curled his lips: "This repeated villain, if I had already kicked him out of the house, you can bear it."
"Although villains can't 'talk', they can 'deal'. As long as they give some favors, they can be encouraged at will. What's wrong?" King Jin fiddled with the side dishes on the plate with the tip of his chopsticks, took out a piece of ginger, and held it up. He said, "Nian Qing still remembers that you blocked your meridians earlier due to cold evil entering your body. I ordered Ah Yuan to write a prescription for you to recuperate. There is a herb called Nanxing, which is poisonous. Taking it alone will make your stomach ache. The epigastric hematoma festers, but this southern star is taken together with ginger, but it becomes a good medicine for dispelling wind and cold."
Shen Si raised his head and took a sip of wine, shook his head disapprovingly, and said, "I understand what you said, it's the merits and demerits of people, and things make the best use of them. But his face just now is so annoying that people can see it." Wouldn't even you be underestimated?"
"Nianqing, do you know why the rich man keeps a vicious dog? Whenever a poor relative comes to borrow money, it is not advisable to go out in person, so he let the beast out howling twice to scare people away." King Jin smiled meaningfully. He smiled and said, "This prince, there are many things that are not easy to say in person. Ge Xiaobai is too arrogant, and he should suffer a little bit, so he should be suppressed. There is a ready-made white face by his side, so he can't say it in person. It's also convenient."
"Guard, guard, it's strange that you are admired by all the people in Jinyuan. It turns out that the wicked and the vicious dogs have taught others to do it." Shen Si exaggeratedly said with emotion, "A person like you is really deep in the city, and you can't hide it."
King Jin looked over, and laughed loudly: "Ha, it's you who are talking about 'hidden without leaking', right? Nianqing is really surprising people everywhere. I don't know how much you have. of?"
Shen Si spread his hands and smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid you will be disappointed. Apart from that, I really have no other skills. It's just because my mentor, Mr. Zeng Cang, loves to play chess, and he always goes to the back mountain to wash his mind when he has nothing to do at night." The temple went to the old abbot to play chess with candles. The mountain road was rugged and the teacher had trouble with his legs and feet, so he brought me and Bo Ling every time. I was responsible for carrying the lantern in front to repel mosquitoes, and Bo Ling was responsible for supporting the teacher. After a day of onlookers, no matter how dull I am, I can become a half-expert. Once I come and go, when the teacher plays chess with the abbot again, Bo Ling and I will also play a few games outside. Patience, always unable to sit still, often dragged him to the courtyard to compete with swords in the middle of the session, so that he didn't make much progress after a few years..."
Noticing that when Shen Si mentioned Wei You, his face immediately became full of joy, and he talked endlessly. King Jin gradually fell silent, poured himself a drink and drank several glasses of wine in succession. I don't know what to think about the dancing candlelight.Shen Si mistakenly thought that he was tired, so he sat up and stretched his waist: "The wine is almost drunk, the midnight is approaching, you should go back to rest earlier."
Unexpectedly, the king of Jin grabbed him and ordered out the door: "Bring more wine, more wine."
After a while, several maids came forward with wine, removed the extra cups and plates on the table, and bowed to ask for instructions: "I don't know where the prince plans to rest tonight, please ask for instructions, so that the maids can go there first." Prepare."
King Jin closed his eyes and waved his hands indiscriminately: "Go, go, go down, wait far away, as far away as you can, don't teach me to look at it and feel irritable."
A group of attendants and maids did not dare to disobey Shangyi, they all retreated lightly under the leadership of the steward, and covered the doors, windows and curtains by the way, leaving only King Jin and Shen Si in the huge water pavilion.Seeing that King Jin was drunk between words, he asked thoughtfully, "But do you want to sleep? I'll ask someone to take you back."
The King of Jin raised his eyelids, looked at him with a grin, lifted the jug directly, raised his head and drank several sips, and sang: "When the autumn wind rises, white clouds fly, and the grass and trees fall yellow, and the geese Going back to the south. Orchids are beautiful, chrysanthemums are fragrant, pregnant with beautiful women, I can't forget..."
Shen Si listened for a while, trying to interrupt King Jin: "Are you... are you really drunk?"
But the king of Jin ignored him at all, and still sang in a low voice: "Fanlou boats come to Jifen River, cross-flows come to Yangsubo. Flute and drums sing and sing songs, joy is great and sorrow is much. How young is Nai Lao He, how long have you been young... Nai Lao He..."
Shen Si didn't know what to do, he was stunned for a moment, and wanted to get up and call someone to take care of King Jin and go back to bed.Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the couch, King Jin leaned against the bed with his hands on his chest, looking like he wanted to vomit.
"Hey... hey..." Shen Si hurriedly turned around, found a rinse bowl and gave it to King Jin, and then slapped King Jin's back like a parody.
King Jin retched twice with his hands, but he didn't spit out anything, and then he lay back on the pillow and ordered in a daze, "tea!"
Although Shen Si was not used to these things, he couldn't leave people alone, so he ran to the table to pour water, while eagerly calling out the door: "Come here, where is he?" But everyone was sent away by King Jin No matter how far he had to go, Ren Shi shouted for a long time, but there was no one.When he was about to go out to call, but he only moved away for a while, King Jin lay down on the bed and vomited, asking for wine and tea again, which made him overwhelmed and unable to go far.
After so many times of tossing and tossing, sweat broke out on Shen Si's forehead, and he finally sat down to catch his breath, but was suddenly pulled by King Jin from behind, and he was dragged down.The clothes of the two were entangled, and they accidentally rolled together. King Jin's arms went around behind him, and he hugged him tightly like a tree stump.
Shen Si pushed hard with both hands, trying to break free, but before he succeeded, King Jin shook his head and shouted repeatedly: "Don't move, you're dizzy, you want to vomit."
Keeping the tree stump upright for a while, he thought about getting up again, but was dragged back by King Jin in the same way.brooding never cared
The so-called "thunderstorms start from Yaodian, and the teacher comes before the prestige", before the war between the capital and Jinyuan, they have already made their own momentum. There are many mouths in the world.
The little emperor's actions included several major crimes of the Jin king, such as "usurping the power of the court, allowing himself to be prestige, arbitrarily cutting off all opportunities, and avoiding prohibitions".On the side of the king of Jin, he held high the banner of righteousness of "protecting the country's fortune, and the Qing emperor's side", and drafted an proclamation to tell the people that there are sycophants around the little emperor, so that he can "respect the remnant thieves, trust the treacherous slander, kill the loyal and upright, poison the soul, and slow down." Heaven insults the earth, goes against the law and reason.”
At the same time, King Jin even sent people to spread the news, saying that the little emperor conspired to kill Prince Mingcheng regardless of brotherhood, and took the opportunity to usurp his throne.Three people become a tiger, and one mouth makes money. No matter whether it is true or not, if you spread it ten times or ten times, it will become true.If the name of the emperor's throne for the little nephew is unfair, it is understandable for the uncle to come forward to uphold justice.
On the fifth night of Qiaolou, the king of Jin had already buried his head behind the table and started handling official affairs.The war is imminent, and he, the prince, Qiantui, has no choice but to show his vigor and readiness to prepare for the attack.It wasn't until the concubine cooked the meal and sent it to the study that he raised his head from the pile of books and papers and took the time to stretch his stiff muscles.
The breakfast looks very simple, only one porridge, one snack, and a few dishes of delicate side dishes.It's just that the porridge is made of ginseng and japonica rice, the dim sum is steamed with bird's nest and sweet-scented osmanthus, and the pickled side dishes are simmered with Jinhua ham and chicken broth.
Glancing at the various foods placed on the silver plate of the marigold, King Jin couldn't help laughing at himself secretly. Although he hadn't been an emperor for half a day in his life, he was no different from the emperor in terms of wealth and luxury. Qin Se and Ming are deeply affectionate, even if ten or a hundred emperors come to him, they will not change.
Thinking of this, he involuntarily walked to the window and looked towards the quiet small courtyard in the distance.It had just rained the night before, and the green brick path was washed clean, and the plane trees were covered with deep and shallow sycamore leaves, and there was a faint smell of mud everywhere.Unexpectedly, that long-lost figure appeared in the yard, barefoot in thought, only covered by a plain white gown, with black hair loosely tied on the top of his head, and a long sword in his hand was flying up and down, dancing like crazy. The robes are graceful and majestic.
On the other side of the yard, Niu Huang and the little fox were squatting side by side on the steps and watching foolishly.Niu Huang held half a pancake in his hand, Xu Shi was stunned by Shensi Wujian, he held it up in the air and forgot to eat it, and the little fox ate it all up.When Niuhuang thought about it and put it in his mouth again, unfortunately he missed it, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" he almost bit his own fingertips.The big living man was played by an animal, Niu Huang was so angry that he jumped up and wanted to chase the little fox, who knew that the little fox ran up to the eaves with a flash of nimbleness, kept kicking his hind legs, and kicked him down. A large piece of tile was hitting Niu Huang's forehead, and Niu Huang was dizzy and screaming, but he had no choice but to yell at the roof with his hands on his hips and his neck stretched out.
This "Human-Fox War" amused the contemplation and laughed out loud, and also made King Jin in the study couldn't help laughing.He couldn't tell whether Niu Huang's angry look was more ridiculous, or he was infected by his thoughtful and carefree smile. In short, the exhaustion accumulated for several days was swept away like this, and even the cold air he inhaled through his nose was sweet and refreshing.
The concubine put the hot porridge into a white jade bowl, and ordered someone to bring clean water to clean the hands of King Jin.She called "Shou Zhi" twice in a row, but the other party didn't respond. She couldn't help but walked to King Jin's side curiously and followed her gaze. When she saw it, she knew it in her heart, but she pretended to be puzzled and smiled. : "Why, the scenery in the garden is better today than in the past?"
King Jin came back to his senses and nodded embarrassingly: "It's not that there is a scene in the garden, it's that there is a scene in my heart."
The princess let him sit down at the table, served the chopsticks in person, and murmured softly: "The days pass so quickly, the first time the cool breeze arrives, the second time the white dew is born, and the third time the chilly cicadas Ming, it’s been another year in a blink of an eye. I remember the last time I went out to hunt in the city. When Nianqing came back from hunting a tiger, I asked the old master to tan a mattress with the whole skin. It was soft and warm. I will help you when the weather gets cooler. You take it out."
"That's right, the autumn wind is blowing in the Fen River again, and the scorched leaves are all over the Jinyuan..." King Jin agreed casually, before the mattress was used, his heart was already very ironed.
While chatting, a confidant came in and received a signal from the King of Jin. He bowed and whispered back: "My lord, I will send a report from the front. In the Huaiqing Mansion, the soldiers did not move, and the other road continued to go northward, and went to Zhending Mansion, as if they were going to join forces with the soldiers and horses under the Governor's Mansion of the Zuo Army, and encircled Jinyuan with the momentum of encirclement."
The King of Jin pondered for a moment, and said to himself: "Stand still? It's too cautious. If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move. Let's spend it together..." Slowly sipping a spoonful of porridge, the King of Jin ordered his subordinates to say , "Go and tell Mr. Shen that the weather is so fine today, the king invited him to herd horses in the outskirts of the city. By the way, tell him that the king has got a few good horses from the Western Regions, and he wants to have a race with his 'Zhanfeng'. The loser will be punished with three urns of wine."
King Jin couldn't understand Shen Si better, just talking about letting the horse go, Shen Xiaowu might not be willing to come here because of his bad temper, but if he wanted to challenge his BMW and riding skills, that kid would definitely refuse to admit defeat.
Sure enough, Shen Si not only agreed to the challenge, but also said arrogantly that the "three urns of fine wine" bet is really nothing, if he loses the battle, he will never drink again.
The black pony named "Zhanfeng" was more competitive than his owner. He had just set up the saddle bridge and was already kicking and kicking.Over the past few months, accidents have happened frequently, it can only be locked in the stable every day, it has not run smoothly for a long time, its whole body has already suffocated its strength, as long as it meditates and lightly pinches the horse's belly for a signal, it will be as invincible as an arrow that leaves the string. Dust away.Seeing this, Jin Wang and others hurriedly mounted their horses and chased after them, but unfortunately they tried their best, but they could only touch a nimble figure from a distance.
The wind whizzed past the ears, making the cheeks of contemplation ache, and the yellow mud path and the dense trees on both sides were pulled into countless thin lines, flying past the eyes.The sky is blue and shining, there is no cloud in the sky, and the pale yellow weeds are swaying with the wind.The creek gushes out from the crevices of the rocks, gallops happily all the way, and merges into the vast Fen River.
Meditation rode a horse into the vast mountain forest like a fish swimming into the sea.Suddenly, there was a movement in front, the birds flew up, the branches exploded, it turned out that the frightened herd of deer marched in a group, scattered and fled amidst the sound of horseshoes, looking for a way out.
Shen Si folded her bridle, reined in her mount, bent her bow and set her arrows at the herd of deer.Within the field of vision, the two deer standing alone didn't know whether they were frightened or stupid, or they knew that there was no hope of escape, so they stopped in their tracks, turned their heads and looked timidly in thought.Judging from the body shape, it should be a doe with a fawn. The doe licks the calf affectionately, and protects the fawn tightly behind her back with her body. Her eyes are dark and shiny, like two gemstones in the water.
Shen Si raised his arms steadily and tightened his bowstring, as if silently confronting the two deer. After a long time, he sighed helplessly and slowly lowered his hands.For some reason, the look in the doe's eyes inexplicably reminded him of the lost relatives, and for a moment, he felt sad and couldn't help himself.
A faint mourning sound came from thousands of miles above the sky, and looking up in deep thought, it turned out to be a lone goose fluttering its wings, like a drop of inconspicuous ink on a blue scroll.The hanging shadow is divided into thousands of geese, and its roots are scattered into nine autumn canopies. I don't know if its brothers and sisters are also like peng grass, forced to be separated into the world, and it is left alone.
With a sigh of relief, he rushed to the top of the peak, stood on the edge of the cliff and looked far into the distance. The mountains, rivers and lakes stretching for hundreds of miles under his feet were shrouded in dazzling halos. The great country that my father devoted himself to defend.His father had earnestly hoped that this country would be clean and clean, with well-grown fields and fields, and that the Great Zhou, which he was loyal to, would coexist with the heaven and the earth, and shine with the sun and the moon.
Fame is not yet a man's business, and his heart is tied to his heart. His father and brothers can no longer wait for the day when their long-cherished wishes will be fulfilled, but as for myself, have I just stayed in Jinwang's mansion to waste my time?
"Nianqing is indeed a heroic young man, I am convinced." At some point, King Jin finally rushed up panting, he urged his horse to the side of Shen Si, stood there to build an awning and looked around, his tone could not stop Cozy and proud, "How's the autumn scenery in Jindi? Can it still catch the eyes of General Shen?"
Shen Si answered the question, and said calmly: "Jinyuan is high in the north and low in the south, with many mountains and hills, uplifts on the east and west sides, and a subsidence basin in the middle. Beikang Mountain' is called a "majestic city" in the art of war, and it cannot be attacked. But these advantages are only for the imperial court. Don't forget that Jin was originally an important frontier fortress, and it was adjacent to Tatar in the north. In case Tatar sent troops at this time, Jinyuan will be attacked from the front and rear, and it will be difficult to protect itself."
"Uh..." Jin Wang's full stomach was choked back instantly, he gulped and spit, tsk, why did he forget that this black boy is an incomprehensible guy, I'm afraid the three mountains and five mountains are looking at him In the eyes, it is almost the same as the mound with a small flag on the sand table... No matter how much he slanders in his heart, the King of Jin still tells each other with a gentle face, "Nian Qing, don't worry, I have sent someone from Tatar to find out We have received solid and reliable news that Gulich Khan is dying of illness and will pass away soon, and the two brothers Buxian and Haribah are now vying for the position of Khan, and I am afraid that within a year or so, there will be no time to look around."
Nodding thoughtfully, after a moment of silence, he asked King Jin again: "I heard from the princess, how many new tiger squat cannons have been added to General Zhang Shijie's camp?"
King Jin was taken aback for a moment, and then raised his eyebrows resignedly, obviously he was the one who was under one person and above ten thousand people, how come in front of Shen Xiaowu, he can only answer honestly?There is also her incompetent daughter, who can only inquire about important military and political affairs in private, so why should she go around beating gongs and drums to publicize what family background her father is hiding in her hands?well……
Without waiting for King Jin to answer, Shen Siwu analyzed: "This cannon is two feet long from the beginning to the end. The cannon head is supported by two oblique iron claws. It is more flexible and suitable for field combat. When it is fired, the projectiles of all sizes fly out together. , The roar is like thunder, not only has great lethality, but can also quickly destroy the enemy's formation, the army of the Great Zhou Dynasty is mainly infantry, and it is most effective to use it to fight."
Hearing Shen Si's words, the King of Jin was very surprised: "Unexpectedly, Nian Qing also has a lot of research on new firearms. What you said is very true. I am discussing with A Yuan to set up several elite cavalry battalions based on the Shen family army, each with 3000 troops. People, equipped with [-] cannons. Most of the troops sent by the imperial court this time are the guards of the Beijing camp. Although the soldiers are young and strong, they lack actual combat experience because they have been paid too much for many years. Boom, then attack with heavy armored cavalry, divide and break them, and hope to annihilate them in one fell swoop." He was excited, but suddenly thought of something, "By the way, Nian Qing, I was reading "Wu Jing Zong Yao" a few days ago, and the above mentioned See something called 'Thunderbolt Cannon Poison Fireball', it is said to be very powerful, do you know?"
Shen Si hesitated for a while, and answered after consideration: "This object was used as early as in the 'Battle of Quarrying' led by Yu Yunwen in the Southern Song Dynasty. In addition to gunpowder, it also contained wolf's poison, arsenic, croton, lime, and asphalt. When it explodes, it can generate poisonous smoke, causing the poisoned person to bleed from the mouth and nose and fall to the ground. In my opinion, even though this object can quickly defeat the enemy, it is too insidious and contrary to morality, and it should not be used in war.”
King Jin quickly waved his hands when he heard the words: "Don't worry, Nianqing, I just asked a few questions out of curiosity."
After a while, Shen Si raised the corners of his lips and smiled faintly: "I know...otherwise I won't say anything."
Jin Wang squinted his lips, and also laughed.
Now that they have gone up the mountain, they cannot return empty-handed. With the permission of King Jin, a few young guards followed the footprints of the wild beasts, and soon succeeded in rounding up a black-haired wild boar weighing more than a hundred catties. Rabbit, let alone.
On the way back home with a full load of spoils, the King of Jin ordered someone to roast the most tender piece of meat from the front fan bone of the wild boar to make it a side dish, and asked him to ponder, "How about having dinner together in the water pavilion at night?"
Shen Si blinked noncommittally: "Is there any good wine?"
Jin Wang smiled: "Whether it is Shaoxing's daughter red, Guilin's Sanhua Niang, Xiaoyi's lamb milk, Nanyue's Luofuchun, or Jinyuan's Zhuyeqing... as long as you can name it, Nianqing, in my palace Everything should be there.”
After listening to Shen Si, she neither answered nor reacted, she just turned her head and left in a hurry.The attendants were puzzled and looked at King Jin one after another, but they were even more amazed when they saw that King Jin was giving orders in an orderly manner with a calm expression on his face.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the barbecue was served and the wine was unsealed, Mr. Shen would come back punctually, taking a bath and changing clothes to make himself refreshed.He was wearing a plain and half-worn gown, his hair was loosely pulled up, tied only by a forehead band, and water dripped from the tip of his hair, his posture was more casual than in his own bedroom.
King Jin could see more clearly than anyone else that Shen Xiaowu was lured by the wine worms. When he read out a long list of wine names, he clearly saw the boy's Adam's apple move. What is it if you are not so greedy that you are drooling?As for coming and going in a hurry, it must be because they are afraid that the good wine will be tasted first by others.
The wild pork is fresh and tender, but it is even more delicious after being cooked by the royal chef's ingenious workmanship. It has a different flavor than the usual delicacies.
There were no outsiders around, so the King of Jin greeted softly: "Ah Qu, come over and have a drink together." After waiting for a long time without seeing anyone, he raised his volume slightly and called out, "Ah Qu?"
After a while, Tu Mo'er floated out from some corner, quietly sat down at the bottom, bowed slightly to King Jin, and began to eat and drink quietly.
Ever since I heard about the life experiences of Tu Mo'er and others from the princess, when I get along with them, I can't help but pay more attention to them.Normally, Tu Mo'er would personally protect the King of Jin, and he could not be caught by ghosts, but now sitting at the same table and meditating, he could truly see the appearance of the other party.Tu Moer always hangs his neck down, his long hair hangs down to cover half of his face, if this half is exposed, his forehead is already covered with hard and dry scars in the shape of fish scales, which is hideous and terrifying, only his slender eyebrows and eyes can be discerned in the past handsome appearance.
Thinking back ten years ago that a young master Pian Pianjia ended up in such an end, Shen Si couldn't help but feel infinitely sad.The same family was ruined in an instant, and he was also burdened with blood and deep vengeance. At least he could still show his real name to others with dignity, and there were still people who loved and loved him. He was regarded as a jewel and treasure. In fact, it was considered a great fortune among misfortunes...
Just as he was thinking wildly, Tu Mo'er suddenly raised his head and looked over at Shen Si's eyes. Shen Si was just about to put a glass of wine into his mouth when he was inadvertently startled. The wine choked his nose, which aroused him Coughing.Seeing this, King Jin quickly reached out to help him pat his back, and teased in a low voice: "Even if you are greedy for alcohol, you have to be patient. You are so strong in martial arts, are you afraid that you won't be able to catch others?"
Shen Si always chatted and laughed with Jin Hulu, Niu Huang and others on weekdays, and was used to being one with regardless of superiority or inferiority. At this moment, he was so forgetful that he shot a chisel back at King Jin.King Jin was unprepared, and he froze when he hit his forehead with a "boom".
No matter how approachable or approachable he is, no matter how humble he is, a prince is a prince after all, and he must always be respectful in front of others.Seeing the slight change in King Jin's face, everyone stopped their movements, bowed and stood aside silently, not even daring to move their eyes.The entire water pavilion was silent for a while, only the wind blowing the curtains rustled.
At this time, Shen Si also noticed his gaffe. He planned to cough dryly to ease the embarrassment, but he couldn't hold back the cough before the intensity of the cough was over. The whole house could only hear him coughing suppressedly.
For a long time, King Jin raised his hand and touched his forehead with a strange expression, shook his head self-deprecatingly, then smiled and stroked Shen Si's back to help him breathe, and sighed softly: "You..."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after watching their words and expressions. After a while, there were gradually slight chewing sounds and the crisp sound of chopsticks touching dishes.
The food is almost finished, but the wine is not enough.The king of Jin ordered people to remove the greasy food from the table, put some fresh vegetables and vegetables on the low table together with the aged liquor, and pulled Shen Si to sit opposite each other on the Arhat couch, and began to drink slowly.With the blessing of fine wine, the atmosphere became much warmer, and the smile on the pensive face became more and more real.
After a while, a servant came back and said that Mr. Ge Xiaobai happened to pass by. He heard that the prince was drinking here, and wanted to come in and play a piano for him to help him enjoy himself.King Jin has been busy preparing for the war these days, and has no more energy to deal with the young masters in the back garden. Ge Xiaobai encountered a setback in his repeated requests to see him, so he couldn't help getting angry with himself, and lost a lot of weight in just a few days lock up.Now that he has come, the King of Jin couldn't be more kind to him, so he ordered someone to "invite" Mr. Ge in.
As soon as Ge Xiaobai entered the door, Shen Si was amused by his posture as if he was facing an enemy, and he said that he "just happened to pass by", and he clearly "came prepared". , there was a burst of fragrant wind when walking, the eyebrows were carefully traced with dark blue, and a little rouge was dotted between the lips, what a handsome man with red lips and white teeth.Looking at Ge Xiaobai, then at himself, he smacked his lips in deep thought, and Gulu swallowed his wine.
Ge Xiaobai ignored his contemplation, and his big black and white eyes just flew towards King Jin: "What song does the lord want to listen to, Xiaobai will make a fool of himself today. I just hope that the lord will listen to my song, and don't forget the "God-given world" song. Match people'."
He didn't realize what he said after thinking about it, but King Jin could understand it.Ge Xiaobai clearly knew that he and Shen Si had never had sex in bed, so he pretended to be frivolous, trying to overwhelm Shen Si with the attitude of a "comer", but unfortunately he really overestimated Shen Si in this, let alone Shen Xiaowu. If you don't understand those obscene words and prose, even if you understand, you won't be aware that the other party is provoking them.The more Ge Xiaobai became jealous, the more Jin Wang refused to accommodate him. Instead, he nodded with a smile on his face and asked Shen Si: "Is there any song Nian Qing wants to hear?"
Shen Si is a rough man, not good at guessing people's hearts. Since King Jin asked, he answered truthfully: "I know very little about the songs and articles. I'm drinking happily at the moment. It's not too late to do arty things later. I said it's better to add another pair of cups and chopsticks, and invite Mr. Ge to sit here and make fists, and drink a few cups."
Ge Xiaobai was already unhappy when he saw that the King of Jin always asked Shen Si for his opinions on every matter, but he was even more dissatisfied when he heard Shen Si say that he played the piano as "arty". A man of temperament can drink so freely. It's just that "arty" people like me can only serve wine with poems and music, but can't roll up our sleeves and punch out orders like a reckless man in the market. "
No matter how slow Shen Si was, he could still hear the sarcasm implied in the other party's words. He looked up at King Jin, and King Jin happened to look at him, and they both looked at each other and smiled, only taking Ge Xiaobai's words as It was the young master's temper, and he didn't take it to heart.
This tacit understanding seemed to Ge Xiaobai to be more and more irritating, and he saw a chessboard on the table next to him from the corner of the eye, and he suggested angrily: "Since Mr. Shen doesn't like rhythm, you and I will play a game of chess." How about it? In ancient times, the sages of Yao and Shun used chess to teach their sons, but now you and my brother make friends with chess, what do you think, Mr. Shen?"
Ge Xiaobai is a talented man from Jinyuan, who is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. He asked Shen Si to play chess, and he made it clear that he wanted to use chess skills to give Shen Si a blow, so as to relieve his anger.Not only King Jin could see this point clearly, but he also understood it when he meditated.The King of Jin was afraid that Shen Si would suffer some grievances, so he immediately stepped forward to stop him and said, "Nianqing just drank a lot of wine, and his eyes are sleepy. I'm afraid he can't even tell the difference between sunspots and whites. If you want to play chess, there will be opportunities in the future."
Who knows that Shen Si didn't accept his kindness at all: "Hey, the world says that Li Taibai, the poet, can win a hundred poems in a wine fight. How do you know that I can't win a hundred games in a wine fight. It's better to be drunk. Lu Dongbin is very powerful when he is drunk. It's true that Tieguai Li Xuan is drunk when he hits his heels and knees. If you are drunk, you will not be drunk, and you will not be drunk when you step. Then pay 'Yunyaozi' and get it."
As soon as the words fell, Hu Buxi hurried over and trotted over, still shamelessly flattering: "Yes, yes, I will come right away, the young master is really talented, so there are so many sayings about playing chess when drunk, old slave really Really taught."
Hu Buxi has always been bullying and fearful of the hard-nosed, he used to look down on Shen Si's ordinary appearance, rustic clothes, and always looked at people with his nostrils, but now knowing that King Jin hurts Shen Si to the apex of his heart, he can't wait to kneel down and lick the soles of Mr. Shen's feet.It's a pity that this flattery was slapped on the horse's leg. Shen Si didn't appreciate it at all. He knew how much he weighed. Eight thousand miles.
The chessboard is set, how old is Inge Xiaobai, and he grabs a handful of white pieces in his hand as a "guess first".Without thinking too much about it, Shen Si picked up a black coin and threw it on the table. Ge Xiaobai spread out his palm, and it happened to be an odd number, so Shen Si took the black coin first and dropped a coin.
King Jin poured a glass of wine and held it in his hand and slowly sipped it. His eyes were also focused on the chessboard, and he was prepared to make a point or two when Shensi was weak, so that Shensi's loss would not be too tragic.But Shen Si didn't even look at him, and just fought with Ge Xiaobai between square inches.The two play chess very fast, and in the eyes of others, there is almost no time to think. The black and white two push and pull, one pass and one break, one break and one jump. Deal with tricks and deal with them calmly.
Before King Jin finished his glass of wine, the two of them had already finished. After counting, Ge Xiaobai narrowly won by one son.Shen Si didn't take it seriously when he lost. He still drank happily and talked and laughed as usual. Ge Xiaobai won but was not reconciled to winning.After taking a few sips of wine, Ge Xiaobai said to Shen Si: "The battle just now was too hasty and I didn't enjoy it to the fullest. How about you and I fighting again?"
Shen Si raised his eyebrows and looked at him for a moment, with a half-smile on his face: "Playing chess with Mr. Ge has also benefited a lot. Since you have this intention, I will accompany you to the end."
This time it was Ge Xiaobai who took the black position, he took advantage of the first move to gain the upper hand everywhere, and his speed was much slower than before, and he had the ruthlessness not to give up until he was taught a lesson.Unexpectedly, at the end of the game, they still narrowly won by one piece.Cold sweat dripped from the temples on Ge Xiaobai's forehead. Could it be that he has really met a master?But judging from Shen Si's consistent performance, it doesn't look like it. He can only comfort himself in his heart. Shen Si must have had good luck, so he was lucky enough to lose only one hand twice. He just needs to be more cautious, so that If you show your true skills, you won't be able to subdue that black boy.
At first, King Jin also thought that Shen Si didn't know anything about chess skills. Seeing that he lost to Ge Xiaobai, King Jin was impressed.After all, Ge Xiaobai has worked hard on this and has also been taught by a famous teacher.When he saw that Shen Si still only lost one son the second time, Jin Wang knew that he was playing Ge Xiaobai on purpose, and he also blamed Ge Xiaobai for being too conceited and didn't know how to stop in time, so he could only bring himself to humiliate himself .
Watching Shen Si get the limelight, Jin Wang felt both amusing and proud.He has seen countless beautiful men in his life. Thinking about it carefully, all of them are either picturesque or gentle like jade. It is not an exaggeration to compare them with the posture of pines and cypresses and the demeanor of Mei Lan. , it seems too dull, and the beauty is so beautiful that it is lifeless.Shensi is like a little beast galloping around in the wild, unable to catch up with it, unable to catch it, opening its mouth to bite when cornered, and might even see blood.But no matter how disheartened and brutal that guy is, he is still alive and well, and it makes people scratch their heads and worry about him.
Ge Xiaobai is an extremely stubborn person, he does not do what the King of Jin expected, and he is not reluctant to fight Shen Si in the third game.This time he moved extremely slowly, every step was carefully considered and reconsidered, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't close the gap with Shen Si in the end.
Three wins in three rounds, but the opponent only loses one piece every time. The two sides of the game will decide whether to judge. Even a complete layman can see the mystery of this.Ge Xiaobai's face gradually turned blue and gray, with a look of despair, he sat down for a while, then stood up with the corner of the table, forced a smile: "My lord, it's late at night, Xiaobai is very tired, so I will leave first It's gone." After speaking, he staggered and walked out, and when he went down the steps, he missed his foot, but fortunately, the little boy who was accompanying him had quick eyesight and a quick hand to help him, so that he didn't fall and get hurt.
The wall collapsed and everyone pushed, Hu Buxi was still talking coldly beside him and muttering in a low voice: "Oh, this person, face is earned and lost by himself. If you don't have diamonds, don't take on the porcelain work. It's like our family has no roots. If you are a good man, you shouldn't imitate other people's extravagant expectations of a virtuous wife and filial son..."
Although Shen Si didn't like Ge Xiaobai's aloof and lofty appearance, he hated Hu Buxi's villainous tone even more, so he immediately interrupted Hu Buxi's words: "Mr. Bar."
As the chief manager, Hu Buxi didn't need to do these errands and miscellaneous jobs, but since Shen Si had told him, he naturally refused to let go of this great opportunity to flatter, and immediately ran out with two bowed legs, wishing he could Use a cinnabar pen to clearly write the three characters "dog slave" on the forehead.
Shen Si pushed the chessboard indiscriminately, leaned comfortably on the cushion, pointed at Hu Buxi's back and curled his lips: "This repeated villain, if I had already kicked him out of the house, you can bear it."
"Although villains can't 'talk', they can 'deal'. As long as they give some favors, they can be encouraged at will. What's wrong?" King Jin fiddled with the side dishes on the plate with the tip of his chopsticks, took out a piece of ginger, and held it up. He said, "Nian Qing still remembers that you blocked your meridians earlier due to cold evil entering your body. I ordered Ah Yuan to write a prescription for you to recuperate. There is a herb called Nanxing, which is poisonous. Taking it alone will make your stomach ache. The epigastric hematoma festers, but this southern star is taken together with ginger, but it becomes a good medicine for dispelling wind and cold."
Shen Si raised his head and took a sip of wine, shook his head disapprovingly, and said, "I understand what you said, it's the merits and demerits of people, and things make the best use of them. But his face just now is so annoying that people can see it." Wouldn't even you be underestimated?"
"Nianqing, do you know why the rich man keeps a vicious dog? Whenever a poor relative comes to borrow money, it is not advisable to go out in person, so he let the beast out howling twice to scare people away." King Jin smiled meaningfully. He smiled and said, "This prince, there are many things that are not easy to say in person. Ge Xiaobai is too arrogant, and he should suffer a little bit, so he should be suppressed. There is a ready-made white face by his side, so he can't say it in person. It's also convenient."
"Guard, guard, it's strange that you are admired by all the people in Jinyuan. It turns out that the wicked and the vicious dogs have taught others to do it." Shen Si exaggeratedly said with emotion, "A person like you is really deep in the city, and you can't hide it."
King Jin looked over, and laughed loudly: "Ha, it's you who are talking about 'hidden without leaking', right? Nianqing is really surprising people everywhere. I don't know how much you have. of?"
Shen Si spread his hands and smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid you will be disappointed. Apart from that, I really have no other skills. It's just because my mentor, Mr. Zeng Cang, loves to play chess, and he always goes to the back mountain to wash his mind when he has nothing to do at night." The temple went to the old abbot to play chess with candles. The mountain road was rugged and the teacher had trouble with his legs and feet, so he brought me and Bo Ling every time. I was responsible for carrying the lantern in front to repel mosquitoes, and Bo Ling was responsible for supporting the teacher. After a day of onlookers, no matter how dull I am, I can become a half-expert. Once I come and go, when the teacher plays chess with the abbot again, Bo Ling and I will also play a few games outside. Patience, always unable to sit still, often dragged him to the courtyard to compete with swords in the middle of the session, so that he didn't make much progress after a few years..."
Noticing that when Shen Si mentioned Wei You, his face immediately became full of joy, and he talked endlessly. King Jin gradually fell silent, poured himself a drink and drank several glasses of wine in succession. I don't know what to think about the dancing candlelight.Shen Si mistakenly thought that he was tired, so he sat up and stretched his waist: "The wine is almost drunk, the midnight is approaching, you should go back to rest earlier."
Unexpectedly, the king of Jin grabbed him and ordered out the door: "Bring more wine, more wine."
After a while, several maids came forward with wine, removed the extra cups and plates on the table, and bowed to ask for instructions: "I don't know where the prince plans to rest tonight, please ask for instructions, so that the maids can go there first." Prepare."
King Jin closed his eyes and waved his hands indiscriminately: "Go, go, go down, wait far away, as far away as you can, don't teach me to look at it and feel irritable."
A group of attendants and maids did not dare to disobey Shangyi, they all retreated lightly under the leadership of the steward, and covered the doors, windows and curtains by the way, leaving only King Jin and Shen Si in the huge water pavilion.Seeing that King Jin was drunk between words, he asked thoughtfully, "But do you want to sleep? I'll ask someone to take you back."
The King of Jin raised his eyelids, looked at him with a grin, lifted the jug directly, raised his head and drank several sips, and sang: "When the autumn wind rises, white clouds fly, and the grass and trees fall yellow, and the geese Going back to the south. Orchids are beautiful, chrysanthemums are fragrant, pregnant with beautiful women, I can't forget..."
Shen Si listened for a while, trying to interrupt King Jin: "Are you... are you really drunk?"
But the king of Jin ignored him at all, and still sang in a low voice: "Fanlou boats come to Jifen River, cross-flows come to Yangsubo. Flute and drums sing and sing songs, joy is great and sorrow is much. How young is Nai Lao He, how long have you been young... Nai Lao He..."
Shen Si didn't know what to do, he was stunned for a moment, and wanted to get up and call someone to take care of King Jin and go back to bed.Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the couch, King Jin leaned against the bed with his hands on his chest, looking like he wanted to vomit.
"Hey... hey..." Shen Si hurriedly turned around, found a rinse bowl and gave it to King Jin, and then slapped King Jin's back like a parody.
King Jin retched twice with his hands, but he didn't spit out anything, and then he lay back on the pillow and ordered in a daze, "tea!"
Although Shen Si was not used to these things, he couldn't leave people alone, so he ran to the table to pour water, while eagerly calling out the door: "Come here, where is he?" But everyone was sent away by King Jin No matter how far he had to go, Ren Shi shouted for a long time, but there was no one.When he was about to go out to call, but he only moved away for a while, King Jin lay down on the bed and vomited, asking for wine and tea again, which made him overwhelmed and unable to go far.
After so many times of tossing and tossing, sweat broke out on Shen Si's forehead, and he finally sat down to catch his breath, but was suddenly pulled by King Jin from behind, and he was dragged down.The clothes of the two were entangled, and they accidentally rolled together. King Jin's arms went around behind him, and he hugged him tightly like a tree stump.
Shen Si pushed hard with both hands, trying to break free, but before he succeeded, King Jin shook his head and shouted repeatedly: "Don't move, you're dizzy, you want to vomit."
Keeping the tree stump upright for a while, he thought about getting up again, but was dragged back by King Jin in the same way.brooding never cared
