Chapter 187

It was almost noon, and all work had begun.?                                                         

?b?i    q?u? Zeng Yuanzi invited two envoys of the delegation and the commander of the escort Chen Fenglin to the banquet, thinking that they were welcomed and washed away the dust. The dust banquet was considered traditional in the Song Dynasty. For this reason, the yamen in various prefectures and counties had special expenses, which can be said to be an extremely normal official activity, and of course it was also a legal public fund to eat and drink.

Because yesterday, the two envoys Gao Yingsong and Zhuang Gongzhe both politely declined, Zeng Yuanzi was thinking for a long time. Although they represented the General Secretary and the General's Office, they were the "indian envoy" to do things, they were still the title of political affairs and the governor, and they could be called their superiors. Jiang Yu was the road transshipment envoy, and it was said that the sentence was on the same level as Gao Yingsong's, but they still had the hat of the royal family Yishan on their heads, so it was condescending to take them to dinner. Unexpectedly, neither of them gave them face.

Therefore, Zeng Yuanzi felt something was wrong, and was worried that the two of them would not be able to get in. Not to mention letting them say something good, even if they were scheming, they would have nowhere to do it. Then they would be stern and do things in business. Then they would be really hard to hide what they did. If they really reached the imperial court, they would not be able to take care of themselves. But unexpectedly, today was very smooth. Except for Chen Fenglin who said he had no time to load and unload supplies, both envoys happily agreed to go to the banquet.

Zeng Yuanzi was of course very happy. He was sure that as long as there were once, there would be two. After several times, people would become relatives. If they were to use some means, there would be nothing else to do. Therefore, although he repeatedly claimed that the place was poor and there were no good things, there were many flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the water, and singing and dancing in the silk and bamboo. Even though the two of them had seen some worlds, they shook their heads secretly. His Highness had made such a huge fortune, but they didn't even put up such a table to invite everyone.

This dust-washing banquet is said to be a public banquet, but it looks more like a private banquet, and not many people attended. Jiang Yan and Zhuang Siqi were four people in the General Administration, and there were only two clerks who served as accompanying him. Although the staff was equal, the General Administration was obviously unable to compare with the drunkenness of the General Administration, and Zeng Yuanzi was very good at speaking. Sometimes it was for the revival of the Song Dynasty, sometimes it was the Queen Mother's Holy An, and sometimes it was for His Majesty's health... Anyway, it was all reasons that you could not refuse. After a few rounds, Gao Yingsong and others were a little drunk.

"Master Gao, how are your highness recently?" Jiang Qi came today without hesitation, his face turned red, and he asked with his tongue wide.

"Your Highness is all right. After finishing his homework every day, he still has to review official documents. He has no time to do it!" Gao Yingsong replied with a smile.

"Haha, your highness must complain again. Have you sneaked out of the mansion again?" Jiang Yu said with a smile after hearing this.

"It's still Jiang Yishan who knows His Highness. He often complains a few times when discussing the court, but it's not easy to go out. Master Yuanmiao is in charge of the mansion!" Gao Yingsong said.

"Haha, it is indeed not easy to escape Master Yuanmiao's magic eye. Your Highness has some brains!" Jiang Qi laughed and said.

"Why are Lord Jiang so happy to hear that His Highness was defeated?" Zeng Yuanzi had never seen Jiang Yu laugh like this and asked in confusion.

"Mr. Zeng doesn't know anything." Jiang Yu took a sip of wine and stopped laughing, "Master Yuanmiao is a royal family member, but he loves martial arts. For this reason, he has entered the Shaolin area of ​​Quanzhou to practice, and has learned a peerless martial arts. He is the elder of the temple. After the Quanzhou Incident, the temple was destroyed and the people were taken in by His Highness and taught him to practice martial arts. Although His Highness is young, he is smart and smart, but which child likes to be trapped in the mansion. So His Highness often sneaks out to play when people are unprepared, but if the peace is not peaceful today, it makes people feel at ease. Everyone has a lot of brains."

"Haha, so that's it! But no matter how smart your highness is, he is only seven years old, and he can play tricks. He still needs to take care of a master like Master Yuanmiao!" Jiang Yu talked happily, but Zeng Yuanzi was unhappy. He went over and asked for nothing to talk to him, but he never said anything except business. But when it comes to Your Highness, he couldn't tell whether he was envious or jealous of this child, so he couldn't help but talk!

"Hey, Lord Zeng is such a bad thing! Your Highness's intelligence is extremely powerful. Even if you are, I am not even in case..." Jiang Qi said unhappily.

"Yes, Your Highness is very naughty. Not to mention the two lords, even if we add all the people on our seats, you can't compare to them!" Before Jiang Yu finished speaking, Gao Yingsong snatched the conversation, "I remember when I was in Guangzhou City, Your Highness sneaked out twice, and I don't know how he avoided the layers of alert. As a result, all the departments in the mansion put down their work and sent all the people in the city to find people."

"Then have you found your highness in the end?" Zeng Yuanzi asked with great interest.

"Oh, Guangzhou City is so big, where can I find it? In the end, Your Highness sneaked back to the mansion by himself, so that he would not have to worry about it." Gao Yingsong sighed and complained, "I just entered the city at that time, and there was so much trouble. Everyone was busy all over the place. Your Highness... The second heaven I remembered, Jiang Yishan and Deng Shidu advised Your Highness to calm down, but they even had a dispute and were scolded by Fushou, right?"

"Children are naughty, and it is common for parents to beat them a few times. Jiang Yishan is the king's teacher. He can't help but be harmonious after teaching a few lessons. It's too doting to comfort the coach." Zeng Yuanzi raised his glass and invited everyone to drink wine, and said unfairly to Jiang Yu.

"Mr. Zeng cannot say this. Your Highness has been suffering enough. He has experienced a few more adventures, so it is understandable to be naughty. Now that he has to support the affairs of the mansion at a young age, he will inevitably get angry. It is because I have too strict requirements. What is the lesson of tutoring the coach." Jiang Yan drank the wine, put down his glass, and shook his head thoughtfully.

"It is said that strict teachers produce great disciples. Lord Jiang is more strict with His Highness for his own good, so why is there anything wrong with it?" Despite Jiang Yu's words, Zeng Yuanzi still felt deeply unfair for him.

"Now that the General's Mansion has just moved to Qiongzhou, the General Fu and the Supervisor must be very busy. Has Your Highness's homework been delayed?" Jiang Xu didn't seem to appreciate Zeng Yuanzi's kindness, and asked again with him aside.

"It's okay! I heard that Fushuai and Deng Shidu taught His Highness the classics, history and strategies respectively, and took turns teaching His Highness homework for an hour every day, but it is inevitable that it will take several days to delay the work for a long time." Gao Yingsong said.

"Yes, now Qiongzhou needs to build cities, strengthen coastal defense, train soldiers, and rectify officials, and be so busy that he is dizzy. When Lord Gao left, Shidu Deng wanted to rectify military discipline and handle criminal affairs, but he was afraid that he would not have enough time to sleep. In this way, Your Highness would be the happiest!" Zhuang Gongzhe interrupted and smiled.

"How can your highness's homework be delayed... Alas, it's all my fault!" Jiang Qi said anxiously after hearing this, but he realized something again in a blink of an eye. He picked up the wine and drank it all in a low voice... (To be continued.)
