One Piece of Song Dynasty

Wang Xiu said flatteringly: "Our achievements are not worth mentioning."

Wanyan Xiyin shook his head and said: "No, no, you two adults must not underestimate yourselves. You have done a good job in managing the two places very smoothly without any major troubles during the war between the two countries."

Fan Wen sighed: "Lord Gushen has given you the reward. I think Lord Gushen should also know that Han officials have no real power in Daliao, so we can only manage the Han people. In fact, a certain person wanted to join Daikin last year, but unfortunately he never found him. Opportunity, I didn’t get the chance until recently.”

The three of them were eating and chatting. After a while, He Yichen ordered someone to carry a small box into the box and clasped his fists, saying, "You must be Mr. Wanyan Xiyin."

Wanyan Xiyin replied: "Yes, may I ask who you are?"

He Yichen said: "I am the shopkeeper of Shuixianju. My surname is He and my given name is Chen. Mr. Wang is a frequent customer of our restaurant. In the afternoon, Mr. Wang told a certain person that he would entertain Mr. Wanyan Xiyin at our restaurant in the evening. I don't know. The food and wine in the restaurant are quite suitable to Mr. Wanyan Xiyin’s taste.”

Wanyan Xiyin nodded and said, "It turns out to be the shopkeeper He from Shuixianju. The food in your restaurant is indeed delicious. It's better than anything I've ever eaten before."

He Yichen said respectfully: "That's good, that's good. There are one thousand taels of gold here, five hundred taels of which are considered military expenses given to our Dajin army by Shuixianju, and the remaining five hundred taels of gold are given to Wanyan Xi. Lord Yin’s.”

Wanyan Xiyin flashed his eyes and said: "Oh, why does shopkeeper He pay so much attention to courtesy?"

He Yichen said with a smile: "Master Xiyin, you also know that we are just a small business owner of a restaurant. What we are most afraid of is war and chaos. If Master Wang had not followed the timing and invested in Daikin this time, a certain restaurant would have been destroyed in the city." We are about to suffer a disaster at this time, and besides, our Shuixianju doesn’t have a backer in Daijin, so it’s easy for people to miss us because we have no roots, so we would like to ask Mr. Wanyan Xiyin to take care of us, we just want to open the store with peace of mind.”

Wanyan Xiyin said thoughtfully: "I heard from Mr. Fan that you have more than one Shuixianju. I wonder if the shopkeeper He represents yourself?"

He Yichen hurriedly said: "I am not speaking on behalf of myself, but on behalf of our family. Since Mr. Fan has told you, you should also know that our Shuixianju is a restaurant that mainly serves Han cuisine. It is mainly located in areas where there are many Han people. Yanyun opened a shop, but it is still the territory of the Liao Kingdom, so it is difficult for our master to come over."

Wanyan Xiyin nodded and said: "Okay, I understand what Shopkeeper He means, and I will take over this matter. As long as you can abide by my Daikin laws and open the store with peace of mind, no one will make things difficult for you."

He Yichen hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Xiyin, we will abide by Daikin's laws. From now on, Mr. Xiyin will eat at Shuixian Residence at half price."

Wanyan Xiyin asked: "Shopkeeper He, I would like to ask if I can know the name of your master's family."

He Yichen replied: "Of course. The owner of a certain family is Liang Xing, who is the founder of Shuixianju. He currently lives in Xijin Prefecture, Nanjing, Daliao. The main store of Shuixianju is also in Xijin Prefecture."

Wanyan Xiyin said: "Okay, Shopkeeper He, I understand."

He Yichen clasped his fists and said, "Those adults will eat slowly, and I will leave first. If you need anything, just call me."

After He Yichen left, Wanyan Xiyin asked: "I wonder if you two adults know anything about Liang Xing, the owner of Shuixianju?"

Wang Xiu replied: "Because I often eat at Shuixianju, I only heard about this person from shopkeeper He. I don't know much about him specifically."

Fan Wen echoed: "The same is true for a certain person. He didn't delve too much into it."

Wanyan Xiyin said thoughtfully: "Okay, I understand, come on, you two adults, let's continue eating."

After eating for a while, Fan Wen asked: "Lord Gushen, I don't know what the arrangements are for the two of us. Should we go with the army or something else?"

Wanyan Xiyin said: "We still need to wait for the emperor's edict for the new appointment of the two adults. During the period before the edict arrives, the two adults will follow me and join the army first. It just happens to be a good experience for me. Jin’s military power.”

Wang Xiu then asked: "What about our family members?"

Wanyan Xiyin replied: "Let them stay in your original residence first and don't let them move around. When your new edict comes, you can take them to move."

The two nodded and said, "Okay, we get it."

The three of them finished eating at the end of Xu Shi. He Yichen said at the door of Narcissus Residence: "The adults have eaten well today."

Wanyan Xiyin was a little tipsy and said, "Well, we've all eaten. I think the food at your Shuixianju main store in Xijinfu must be better."

He Yichen said flatteringly: "That's for sure. Some dishes can only be made in the main store. If Mr. Xiyin has the opportunity to go to Xijin Mansion in the future, he must go to the main store to taste it. I think the master will entertain Xiyin well." For adults.”

Wanyan Xiyin said: "Shopkeeper He tells your master to evacuate Xijin Mansion as soon as possible. The Song Dynasty will soon launch a northern expedition to Yanyun, and that place will soon become a battlefield. Let your master bring people there. Open a store on my Daikin territory. I, Daikin, welcome businessmen like him. On Daikin’s territory, as long as I am here, no one will cause trouble for him."

He Yichen said in surprise: "Master Xiyin's words are serious."

Wanyan Xiyin replied: "Of course it is true. This is written in the covenant between Da Jin and Da Song."

He Yichen knelt down and said, "Thank you so much, Master Xiyin. I will inform the master of this news as soon as possible."

Wang Xiu asked: "Lord Gushen, can the Song Dynasty's Northern Expedition to Yanyun be successful? According to someone's knowledge, the Song Dynasty's Northern Expedition to Yanyun has not been successful several times since the founding of the country."

Wanyan Xiyin burped and said: "It's hard to say this. In the past, the Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty to Yanyun was a one-on-one fight, but now it's a two-on-one fight. I, the Jin Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty jointly attacked the Liao Kingdom. I think The Song Dynasty should have a better chance of winning."

Wang Xiu asked tentatively: "Lord Gushen, I, Da Jin, really want to give up the land of Yanyun to Da Song."

Wanyan Xiyin smiled and said: "It depends on the Song Dynasty. Okay, I have to go back to the military camp. Soon we will march to Dading Mansion. Do you two adults follow me back to the military camp?"

Wang Xiu cupped his fists and said, "Lord Gushen, I need to go back to my hometown to make arrangements. I will go to the military camp early tomorrow morning."

Fan Wen scratched his head and said: "I can't go back to Hui'an. If Mr. Wang doesn't mind tonight, can I stay at Mr. Wang's house for one night? I will rush to the military camp with Mr. Wang early tomorrow morning."

Wang Xiu replied: "Okay, I don't mind, Lord Fan, just come."

Wanyan Xiyin said: "Okay, gentlemen, I will take my leave now. We will meet at the military camp tomorrow."
