It seems that I am still too full [travel]

Suzhou, in the past five years, the Shen family's ancestral house, which was originally a grand gate with a flying pavilion and a deep courtyard, seems to have been expanded, and now it is not as simple as "Shen Bancheng".Especially not long ago, Han Gong's army approached the city, and the Shen family led the rich people in the city, and cooperated with them inside and outside, and joined hands to force Suzhou Governor Yin to open the city gate and surrender.

Therefore, despite the change of days, the people of Suzhou, after a panic at the beginning, found that life was going on as usual later on. Even because of the change of master, business was more prosperous, taxes were reduced, and their hearts became more stable.In addition to welcoming the army into the city at the beginning, and taking the lead in donating money and food for the army to gain the limelight, the Shen family then under the repeated emphasis of the Patriarch, kept a low profile and kept hidden. However, they developed better secretly.

One day, in front of the Shen residence, a fast horse stopped in front of the gate. The strong man dressed as a bodyguard didn't care to take a breath. After showing his identity card from his waist to the porter, he walked through the courtyard without stopping. Go straight to the master's study at the back.

"This matter is serious, the news is conclusive?!" In the study, Shen Rong's face flashed with astonishment, and then his face was serious, he went down to the hall, and asked again.

The bodyguards standing in the hall cupped their hands and said loudly, "Patriarch, the chief steward has sent three groups of people to inquire about the news. report."

Shen Sen who was listening quietly at the side finally couldn't hold back his excitement, and said: "Father, you must send someone to thank you, Young Master..."

Shen Rong raised his hand, stopped his son's words, then he waved his robe to let the bodyguard go down to have a good rest, and then he turned around and sat down on the Taishi chair.

Only the father and son were left in the study room at this time, Shen Sen would walk back and forth, muttering: "Father, Mr. Xie is really wise and close to a monster, and has unparalleled strategies. Who would have thought of it, a small mercury mirror, gorgeous and exquisite , worth thousands of gold, if you don’t apply the protective layer, you can kill people invisible! It’s just that Mr. Xie’s target was Peng Yu, but Peng Yu actually dedicated the mirror to his lord. Now that Xu Shouzhen died suddenly, Qishui is in chaos, father, in your opinion, is this situation good or bad for our Shen family?"

Shen Rong stroked his long beard and sighed, "It shouldn't have much impact on us, as long as we keep up with Duke Han, donate food when it's time to donate, donate money when it's time to donate money, and wait until later." Han Gong ascended to the throne, and he has the richness and blessings of the Shen family. This time we did the errand entrusted by Mr. Xie, and presented the special mirror through the caravan. It was Xu Shouzhen who died, but maybe the current situation is more favorable for Mr. Xie and Mr. Han."

He stood up and bowed devoutly to the picture of the cornucopia hanging in the middle of the wall.This painting has a lot of history, and it was written by Xie Shi. Shen Sen visited Xie Shi in Le County one year to get in touch and send him the account book of Mercury Mirror.It coincided with Mr. Shen's birthday, and Xie Shi wanted to give some other birthday presents, but Shen Sen had a very strange hobby, so he wanted to ask for a painting by Xie Shi himself.

Xie Shi had no choice but to write him an ink painting of a fairy holding a cornucopia.Although the content of the painting is vulgar, Shen Sen is very precious. However, after taking it home for a few days, before warming it up, his father found out about it, and it was quickly taken over by him. In the study room, it is more reassuring than worshiping any god of wealth.

"This time we helped Mr. Xie, and the Shen family won Mr. Xie's favor. Even after I go, no matter how unsatisfactory you descendants are, as long as you don't commit crimes or plot rebellion, follow Mr. Xie's disposition. , presumably they will protect the Shen family in front of the new emperor."

Shen Sen was surprised, "Father is so optimistic about Han Gong?" Even the new emperor said it...

Shen Rong glanced at his aunt, "You're still young, you still have a good eye."

"My son is dull, please give me some advice from my father." Shen Sen bowed and humbly asked for advice.

Shen Rong then explained the current situation in the world in detail, "Three years ago, after the drought, Duke Han, as a descendant of the former royal family, held the jade seal of the country, and officially declared the world, and raised troops against Mongolia. It is not as good as Luo Futong, the leader of the Fragrant Army in Yingzhou. The servant is the ninth grandson of the former emperor under false pretenses, and Han Gong is the real royal blood, inheriting the great line and restoring the former dynasty, it can be said to be justified and well deserved. This is one thing, but it is not the most important point."

"The important thing is the following two points. Think about it. Since Han Gong took over the southern land, he has lightly paid for the land, promoted immortal rice, selected talents and promoted talents, and ruled the sages. From this, all parts of the country have prospered. People say that it has the reputation of a wise king through the ages." phase, the hearts of the people have nothing to do with it.”

"Three times, great Confucian scholars, talented people, and powerful generals all embrace him as the master. Whether it is the two Song Gongs, Qin Sui, or Qi Qi, Qiu Zhi, Cen Yu, etc., they are all famous wherever they are placed. He is a character, but he is willing to be under his command, not to mention the help of a god like Mr. Xie. Think about how many people want to assassinate Mr. Xie today? Tell me, is there any hero in this world, in terms of strength, wisdom, and wisdom? Can a person be as good as Duke Han? Now that Xu Shouzhen is dead, the fate of the court will be exhausted sooner or later, just wait, within ten years, the world will change its master."

There is no need for the Shen family to send someone to send a letter. In fact, the intelligence department under Han Ji learned of the news of Xu Shouzhen's sudden death in the palace faster than the people of the Shen family's caravan. .

When Xie Shi learned the news, he was teaching his brother Ji how to brew jade ice.Among all kinds of wine, Xie Shi’s favorite is plum wine. When drinking, there is a hint of plum fragrance, the aroma is elegant, but it does not burn the intestines, but it has a long aftertaste. It is easy to get drunk and wake up without headache.In the past, this plum wine was made by Han Ji himself. However, after he left the academy and started to compete in the world, he didn't have the time and thought to take care of it. Naturally, the stock of plum wine was getting smaller and smaller. I asked for a prescription and started to brew it myself.

Now that midsummer is falling and the plum blossoms are gone, it is naturally not the season to make plum wine. In addition, the two Mr. Song urged Xie Shi to drink wine. Xie Shi chose a sunny day as a gift for the plum wine recipe, and asked this temporary Master Han, who is at home leisurely, makes this jade ice shochu.Yubing Shao was especially loved by several old gentlemen in the academy. Since Xie Shi tried brewing it a few years ago, plum wine has become the old favorite of Mr. Song Xi.

This wine was originally a famous wine in Foshan, Guangdong, but it should not have appeared now, at least Mr. Song, who has traveled all over the world, has never heard of it.Yubing Shao uses rice to brew rice wine first, then hangs and burns the rice wine into white wine, then adds fat pork to the wine liquid, seals the tank for three months or half a year, takes out the wine liquid and waits for it to settle naturally for half a month, and finally filters it The meat slag is the finished product.The process is complicated and time-consuming, so Yubingyaki brewed in summer can only be drunk when the first snow falls in winter.

This Yubing shochu wine is clear and clean. Because of the addition of fat pork, the taste is smooth and soft, sweet and slightly sweet. It is really wonderful. Even Han Ji likes to drink it, so Xie Shi's brewing scale is also very large. After all, there are all men around who don't like to drink. Fortunately, brother Ji is not an alcoholic.

The two chatted while fighting, Han Ji dismissed the matter lightly, and Xie Shi didn't take it seriously.He indeed entrusted the Shen family to do this matter, after all, he still remembered Peng Yu's revenge for arson and wounding.Ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge, Xie Shi didn't do it at that time, it was just that the time was not the best time.Unexpectedly, instead of killing Peng Yu, this trick caught a big fish and killed his master. Now it seems that even God is on their side.

"Now Peng Yu surrounds Xu Shouzhen's youngest son as the emperor, but none of the subordinates are good. If they don't listen to the call, the Xu army will split sooner or later." Wipe the dregs off his hands with a fine cloth, and said with a smile, "Ah Shi really did me a big favor."
