spring event night

It rained for half the night in autumn, and when I got up early, the morning was really cold.Jiang Shan was not in the room when Yun Xian got up, and the couch outside had already been tidied up.He opened the windows on the side of the flowers and looked, only to see fallen leaves all over the ground on the back porch, and a plum tree planted in the corner, which is not yet in bloom.

The door of the room was pushed open suddenly, Jiang Shan came over holding the washbasin towel and said, "You're awake."

Yun Xian responded and said, "You got up very early."

"got used to."

Yun Xian came over to wash his face and bathe, Jiang Shan was still waiting on the left and right, Yun Xian raised his eyes to look at him, "Although I used to always have someone waiting by my side, it's not that I can't get used to it now, you don't have to accommodate me like this."

Jiang Shan was taken aback, "It's just a trivial matter, so there are so many details."

Yun Xian refused, and said: "I never treat you as a servant."

"I didn't think so either." Jiang Shan pursed his lips, handed the cloth towel to Yun Xian, and went to tidy the mattress in the back room.

Yun Xian was stunned for a while, then suddenly laughed.

After washing up, Yun Xian went to change his clothes, he was wearing the snow blue straight dress that Jiang Shan made for him.Coming out from behind the screen, Yun Xian was very satisfied to see the amazement in Jiang Shan's eyes.

"How is it?" Yun Xian asked.

Jiang Shan smiled and said, "It's pretty."

Yun Xian smiled, "The clothes look good, but the person looks good."

Jiang Shan stopped talking and went to the table to set meals.Four or five kinds of porridge and rice, seven or eight kinds of side dishes were neatly placed on the table.

Jiang Shan sat down, picked up the porridge to eat, and said: "After eating, if there is no one, you can choose the path to go back. I come and go here, and there are too many people, so it is inconvenient."

Yun Xian nodded, and Jiang Shan asked, "When is your shop going to open?"

"Just a few days." Yun Xian said.

Jiang Shan nodded, "You can find some exquisite objects, such as jewelry, rouge and powder, and let me have a look at them, okay?"

Yun Xian looked at Jiang Shan and said with a smile, "Okay, regardless of these things, I also have other rare things. If you want anything, just tell me, and I will find it for you."

Jiang Shan smiled and responded in a low voice.

After Yunxian left, Fukang Futai dared to show his head only after watching the people leave. He looked into the room and saw that Jiang Shan, who was cleaning up the dishes, still had a smile on his face, so he knew he was in a good mood.

Fukang Futai stepped forward to take over Jiang Shan's work, and said, "Master, did Mr. Yun spend the night with you yesterday?"

Jiang Shan glanced at them and said, "What are you asking for!"

He spoke lightly, not in a reprimanding tone, and Fukang Futai was even less afraid.

After clearing the table, someone came outside, who was next to Wang Rong, and said that the things that Butler Jiang wanted had arrived.

Jiang Shan agreed, took the things, and gave Xiao Yao'er three or four hundred dollars to get rid of.

"What, what?" Fukang Futai looked closely.

Jiang Shan opened the small paper bag, and saw ginseng, donkey-hide gelatin, bird's nest, etc., all kinds of things were neatly packed, and they were all in good condition.

Jiang Shan took out two bolts of satin and a pair of gold hairpins with the word "Fu" from the cabinet, handed these things to Fukang, and asked him to find a cook with good craftsmanship and a strict mouth, and stew these supplements every day and send them to Qingzhu. Xuan, in name only said that Jiang Shan wanted it himself.

Futai watched eagerly and asked, "Are the supplements delicious?"

Fukang knocked Futai on the head, "It's unpalatable, like bitter medicine soup."

"Then...then I won't eat."

Jiang Shan laughed and said: "Forget it, let's call it a stewed chicken with ginseng. I tasted a porridge with bird's nest, white fungus and sweet-scented osmanthus in the palace earlier, and it was also good. I've made them all, and I'll ask you two to try it."

"Hey!" Fukang happily responded.

Another day, Yunxian sent things over there, various colors of silk, exquisite pearls, hairpins, bracelets, and high-quality rouge and gouache.Jiang Shan looked at them one by one, and ordered Ling Luo to cut the clothes, and put away the rest of the clothes.

As soon as he said that, Futai ran over excitedly and said, "What a big crab!"

Jiang Shan went out to look, and saw two baskets of big crabs in the courtyard, there were dozens of them, all fresh.

Fukang walked down quickly and scolded: "What are you shouting for, I'm afraid others won't hear you!"

Futai was not angry when he was scolded, but just smiled innocently.

Looking at the crab, Jiang Shan had a plan in mind.

At night, Jiang Shan ordered the chef to prepare a table of food and wine, and cleaned up all the crabs, either steaming, deep-frying or frying.Jiang Shan ordered another crab-stuffed orange by name, and told Fukang that when he got the crab, he picked it up and sent it to Qingzhuxuan, and sent the crab-stuffed orange together.

Over there, he ordered Futai to invite Wang Rong.

When the people from the previous night had left, Wang Rong came over Shi Shiran. Seeing that the food and drinks were complete, he couldn't help laughing and said: "It's so rare, butler Jiang is hosting a banquet for me?"

"Don't look at whether you deserve it or not?" Jiang Shan scolded with a smile, "It's just that I got two kinds of food, and I'm bored by myself, so I just asked you to have fun."

"Since that's the case, why don't I have to sing a song to Steward Jiang and laugh twice after I eat this crab?"

Jiang Shan stretched out his hand to pinch Wang Rong, "It's hard to treat you to a fresh one, this mouth is not forgiving!"

Wang Rong hurriedly begged for mercy, "Okay, I was wrong! Butler Jiang, for the sake of this table of wine and food, please bear with me."

That's all for Jiang Shan, let Wang Rong enter the table, Fukang Futai only showed his face, then picked up the wine and vegetables and went out to eat.

Jiang Shan first poured Wang Rong a glass of wine, the two clinked glasses, and then took the crab and ate it.

"Where did your crab come from? It's so juicy and tender." Wang Rong broke off the crab roe and ate it with vinegar, full of praise.

"Last time I told you that the person who helped me sent it, and said it was his own." Jiang Shan ate slowly, and it seemed that he was not as delicious as Wang Rong.

Wang Rong's eyes immediately lit up when he heard the words, "So, you two still have more to say! Come and tell me."

"I gave him a thank you gift once, and now we have some contacts." Jiang Shandao: "There are not many crabs in total. I can't eat them all by myself, and I don't put them away. There are a dozen left. You can take them." .”

Wang Rong smiled and said, "Look at what I have been eating and taking, what has become of it?"

"You're being good-looking when you get a cheap price." Jiang Shan said angrily to him, and asked, "A few days ago, I heard that Concubine Li had lost her temper. What's the matter?"

"For things like jewelry and hairpin rings." Wang Rong said: "A few days ago, Concubine Li went to the Qi Palace for a banquet. Maybe she was not as well dressed as others, and she made a fuss."

"I said, the concubine was not very happy when she came back." Jiang Shan said unintentionally: "Speaking of which, the tribute given this time is indeed not as good as before. I don't think it looks good."

"Who says it's not?" Wang Rong said, "It's only King Qi. His family is in charge of weaving in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are a lot of good things."

Jiang Shan shook his head, "It's not a good idea to go back to this way, the end of the year is approaching, and there are a lot of banquets."

Wang Rong also frowned. This is indeed a matter. The master is not happy, and they will not be able to get along.At this moment, Wang Rong felt something. He looked at Jiang Shan and asked, "Why, do you have a solution?"

Jiang Shan got up and opened the cabinet, took out some things, put them under the lamp, and asked Wang Rong to look at them.

"Look, how does this piece of satin compare to the one worn by Concubine Li?"

Wang Rong wiped his hands, looked carefully at the lamp, and said, "The embroidery is more delicate than that dress."

"Not only clothes, but also gold and silver jewellery." Jiang Shan asked Wang Rong to look at them, and Wang Rong nodded and said, "They are all delicate things, and there is no need for tribute." After a pause, he asked again: "These things, Where did it come from?"

Jiang Shan pointed to the crab on the table.

Wang Rong suddenly realized, "No wonder you hosted a banquet for me, so it was because of your friend."

"Whatever is good, talk about what you have and what you don't."

"Yo, you're shy, aren't you?" Wang Rong shamed him more and more.

Jiang Shandao: "You just say whether to help or not."

Seeing that he was annoyed, Wang Rong smiled and said: "Don't worry, when you take the lead, I will make peace for you from the side, and it will be safe. It's just..." "Just what?"

Wang Rong covered his mouth and smiled, "It's just that when you two become a good thing, you have to give me a big red envelope to thank me!"

Jiang Shan scolded him a few words and said, "Go eat your crab!"

Here, the two brothers were eating, drinking and laughing, talking about bits and pieces.Over there in Qingzhuxuan, the food Jiang Shan ordered was set up on a table, Yun Xian drank wine to the moon, and in the shadows, a man was sitting, with the ruby ​​in his ear reflecting light.

He made calculations on the ledger, "That's good. It hasn't opened yet, so a lot of things have been sent out first. Young Master, Young Master, you are really a genius in business."

"What do you know?" Yun Xian said slowly.

"What do I not understand?" Murong Xi said: "Jiang Shan wants those things for the wives and ladies in the palace to see, so it is for the best. But I don't understand, what date do you draw every month?" What is the money for?"

"Of course I should buy things for him." Yun Xian counted them one by one, "Not to mention the clothes, but also the furs when winter comes. I promised him the spices a long time ago, so I can't go back on my word. Jade can support people, It also matches him. There are also Hepu beads. This year Hepu beads are even better than in previous years. There is a box of light pink ones that are very rare. I don’t know if he likes them. Even if he doesn’t like them, they are worth a lot of money. silver."

"My lord is very thoughtful." Murong Xi thought for a while, looking forward to it, "Jiang Shan has not done anything yet, and he is treated like this. For someone like me who works all day for your lord, the treatment is not bad."

Yun Xian looked at him, with subtle reluctance in his eyes, "Since that's the case, I'll add another five taels of silver to your monthly salary."

Murong Xi gritted his teeth, and Yun Xian reasoned with him, "Now is the time to get started. If you don't need money, save as much as you can. It's 55 taels of silver per month, and that's what a fifth-rank official can do."

Murong Xi pushed the abacus away, "I finally know why there are so many corrupt officials."

Yun Xian ignored him, and when Sanqiu came back, Yun Xian asked, "How is it? Is your master coming over when you are free?"

Sanqiu glanced at Yun Xian, hesitated and said: "Master invited Steward Wang to a banquet, and the food was also crabs. I guess I don't have time."

The smile on Yun Xian's face subsided in an instant, and Murong Xi happily picked up the abacus again.

The author has something to say: Yun Xian: The crab in my hand is suddenly not fragrant.
