Chapter 217
Seeing that Shi Xi was listening, Wen Zhimian reluctantly revealed it, and changed the subject, "If I remember correctly, your father is in charge this year? It's a civil examination. This year, we added martial arts. I'm sure I'm incapable of avatar recently. The news from the top is impossible. Did he tell you? Where did you hear it from? ".
Ever since the two became good friends, they have often visited each other's house. They know a little about each other's parents and their personalities. The person who told Shi Xizheng about the court affairs, although she normally beat and scolded Shi Xi, basically she made the mistake first.
And anyone with a discerning eye can see that it's the Yanjun King right? She hates iron but not steel? The old cow licks the calf, and it is out of love and protection that she doesn't tell Shi Xizheng about the court affairs? In my heart, after all, according to the current law of honor and honor, she can be unrestrained? It will only be the last two years. After becoming an adult, she will be a servant in the court after being crowned.
Of course, those who are congenitally or acquiredly disabled, mentally retarded, or physically weak enough to be unable to work are excluded. Obviously, Shi Xizheng, who has enough food and drink, jumps and dances without stress, is not included in this list, so no surprises, you can’t run away as a errand in the imperial court? Fortunately, she doesn't have to, as long as her mother supports her, she doesn't have to enter the court.
Just as Shi Xi was about to reply, the attendants outside suddenly reported that Xiao Er was serving the food, and immediately told someone to come in. Is it the same Xiao Er, who behaved? Put it away? Sidie cold dish, just salute and leave down.
Four small dishes are served with melon and fruit snacks and tea. The cups and dishes have been set up, and they are all high-quality porcelain. The simplest pair of chopsticks is also made of high-quality moso bamboo. The carving pattern on the head is even more lifelike.
Just these, half the table has already been set.The two sat opposite each other. No one was sitting. The three empty chairs had been taken away by Xiao Er at the beginning. There was a screen at the entrance to block the view from the outside, and incense was burning in the corner.
There are nearly a hundred large-scale restaurants in the complex city, but all boxes and private rooms are arranged in the same way. There is only the difference between square tables and round tables, but they are all equipped with chairs, while the lobby on the first floor and ordinary small restaurants are all the same. The Eight Immortals table or the long table are all equipped with benches.
People with a bit of status generally like to sit in boxes and private rooms, and don't like to eat with people in the lobby. They always feel that eating in the lobby is something for inferior people.
With the two identities of Shi Xizheng and Wen Yuzhimian, this is also the case when eating out. If the private room of the restaurant is full, they will not give in to the lobby, but will never give up. Hesitating? Choose another one.
"You know, my father basically doesn't talk to me about those things, especially the civil examinations, not to mention the top things, anyway, I never He has heard any advance news from his mouth, so besides my mother and classmates, where else can it be?" Shi Xi was laughing at himself, and then picked up his chopsticks and began to eat cold dishes.
Wen Zhimian had already eaten a chopstick ahead of her, swallowed it before continuing: "That's right, you don't have any other good friends besides me, I advise you to listen less to these hearsay news in the future Now, the one who is temporarily in power, right? My cousin is extremely protective, and spares no effort in implementing the new policy. If you really want to take your knife, you should understand that you can't escape?".
Ever since her emperor's cousin was assassinated, she has been recuperating, and all important affairs of government are temporarily handed over to Zhonggong Bu Qianxue for handling. Even the court conference, early court and grand court meeting have been presided over by Bu Qianxue for the past month. , but it is said that he did not sit on the phoenix chair, but specially added a chair to the front left of the phoenix chair, so he was quite appreciated by the courtiers.
In the past month, several missions from vassal states have arrived in Fandu. Bu Qianxue not only sent people to receive them as usual, but also met them in person and hosted a banquet. The shadow puppet show at the banquet was even more special. She is very popular with the officials of various missions. When the meeting was held, her cousin the emperor also made a fool of herself and said a few words.
The assassination of the emperor, after a month of precipitation, especially when the murderer was arrested and brought to justice not long ago, and now everyone's attention is focused on the empress After marriage, Enke will take the test, especially this year's Enke test will be divided into civil and military, which has attracted the attention of a large number of curious people.
Even the local officials from all over the world were completely relieved after receiving the official reply, especially after receiving the official reply of the official memorial and secret letter, they resumed their usual busy schedule, even if the handwriting It's different, but it doesn't matter, because they both know it's only temporary.
It was the last thing I found out. Xuan Changle of the vassal states, especially Kang Guozhen, was almost too frightened to bring it up. Fortunately, it turned out that there was no serious problem, otherwise she would really suffer. Without this blow, they sent people to start collecting the country's precious medicinal materials and tonics on the same day, and finally loaded a three-horse cart, and sent a minister to lead a team to personally escort it to Fandu Jin to present it to Shi Min.
Kang Guo has done this, and other vassal states? It’s not good either. They don’t say anything, so they can only send a team of people to offer precious medicinal materials and supplements. Of course, those who are reluctant? Including Braque's Kingdom? Dynasty Lu.
When Chaolu learned that Kangguo had donated three carts of precious medicinal materials and supplements, he immediately ordered all tribes to provide a certain amount of precious medicinal materials or supplements. The "small country" plundered a lot and loaded four full carts before he was satisfied. He was escorted and set off, which meant to compete with Kang Guo.
Among them, the most reluctant one belongs to the wolf hegemony of the wolf country. She neither wants to spend money or things by herself, nor does she want the people to contribute money and efforts, but she has to express it, so the idea hits the minister? So, I only buckled up and collected a cart, appointed the person who made the contribution, and just hid in the palace without seeing anyone.
The minister asked for an interview? No way, and heard about other vassal states? At least two carts of precious medicinal materials and supplements were used to start. They were afraid of offending the Hua Dynasty? They used Wang's name to search some more, and finally searched two and a half cars, which was half a car more than the least.
If it weren't for the folk search, the finished goods are average, at most they are barely enough, and the ministers of the wolf kingdom would not take out their own private collections. The high-ranking ministers were somewhat bleeding.
The wolf hegemony is due to their own bleeding? So they turned a blind eye? They didn't pursue it. The main reason was to pursue it. The consequence was only to return to the previous situation, because she Her ministers' fear of Hua Chao has been engraved in her heart, and it will still be the same if she changes a group of ministers. She is too lazy to change.
Therefore, each vassal state has sent two batches of missions. The first batch of tribute and wedding congratulations can basically arrive on time, and the latter batch? It’s not clear. The ones who move quickly are naturally fast. , Slow? Naturally procrastinating.
Everyone in Fandu basically knew about the arrival of the mission from the vassal state. Shi Xizheng and Wen Zhimian had the honor to attend the banquet, and naturally they also saw the mission and Shi Min. Mian also went to the palace to visit privately according to his mother's advice, but each time he stayed for a short time, but he could see that Shi Min's health was getting better day by day, and then he couldn't go back.
Anyway, since her brother died, if she could not enter the palace, she would try her best not to. She was often talked about by her father about this matter, but she always went in one ear and out the other, and didn't take it seriously at all.
Shi Xi was listening to Wen Zhimian's words, and instantly became worried. She turned to chopsticks and stopped eating cold dishes, because she knew that what Wen Zhimian said was true, and what would she really do if she got up? , these wingless "birds", how can they?Revolt?Shi Shuang's lessons learned from others' past can be laid out ahead.
She also heard another meaning in Wen Zhimian's words. Although it is obvious that the Zhonggong is now in charge, in fact, everyone knows that the real decision is still made by the current emperor. If there is a policy to be implemented, it must have been approved by the Holy Majesty.
Seeing that Shi Xi was looking like an eggplant beaten by frost, Wen Zhimian was quite happy, but he said comfortingly: "Why are you worried about this? If the sky is really going to fall, isn't it because your parents are still there?" Well, no matter how bad it is, your family is not alone in this situation. If everyone else is doing well, you will naturally be doing well too. When you have wild thoughts, why not eat more? Eat well? Go back to college study hard".
Wen Zhimian has already tasted all the four butterfly cold dishes. Two of them have not been tasted before. They should be new products. The taste is not bad. I wrote down the names of the dishes. If I want to eat them next time, I will ask my servants Come to order directly, I can't help but eat two more chopsticks.
Shi Xi was listening to what she said. Thinking about it, it makes sense? She was anxious, but it was useless. Seeing Wen Zhimian eating again? So happy, no worries, picked up the chopsticks again .
When the two of them ate about the same amount, Xiao Er started to serve the main course and soup, and the melon and fruit snacks that hadn’t been touched before were moved to the small table, while the cold dishes were directly withdrawn by Xiao Er gone.
In the afternoon, Guo Fanqiu reported the content of the conversation between Wen Zhiyuan and Shi Xizheng to Shi Min in a low voice. So I asked the whisperer to pay more attention to one or two, for fear that she would not think about doing "stupid things".
But in fact, after more than two years, Wen Zhimian also talked a little less, became quieter, and matured a lot, and stayed away from the former friends and came to the palace less , people are also quite transparent, and have not done anything out of the ordinary.
Er Mian was able to play with Shi Xizheng, which Shi Min never expected? After thinking about it, I realized that this is normal, because Shi Xizheng has a thick skin and a heart, while Er Mian has a kind heart , and it just so happens that I don't have my previous friends, so if I can't refuse, I accept it.
Sometimes, Shi Min is quite envious of them. With a generous monthly allowance, he wants to eat and play, and he doesn’t have to worry so much, and he doesn’t have to think so much. Drinking, or going to a restaurant for a small gathering, can be regarded as one of the great pleasures of life.
The Xungui and Guan N generations in Fandu City basically have monthly money, but the amount is different. Even if the monthly money is small, it is still a lot of money in the eyes of the poor, and like Ishizai Zhenghe Wen? With Zhimian's status, in addition to the monthly allowance from his parents, he also has court salary. As long as he doesn't consume extravagantly, he can save money excluding daily expenses.
According to the previous laws, nobles like Wen Zhiyuan would have no salary to receive, but the imperial court promulgated the "New Imperial Order System" three months ago, and this month It started to be implemented, so she can also get her salary. Although what she gets is only a quarter of her mother's, but at least she doesn't have to spend a penny herself and has to ask her family for it.
And not only does she have a salary, but her father also has a salary, and it is more than her. It is half of her mother's salary, and it is also paid on a monthly basis. The only difference is that they don't have Lumi. There are no other incidental benefits, only salary.
For this matter, she and Shi Xizheng had a quiet discussion in a restaurant for a long time, and finally came to the conclusion that the new imperial order system is more popular, more humane and reasonable than the previous one. Is it given after "a few slaps"? The biggest and sweetest "jujube", a large number of nobles and nobles are all happy.
What they didn't know was that even though the discussion was very quiet, Mimi was finally brought to Shi Min's place.
It's a pity that now and then Shi Min can only think about it in his dreams for such a simple request as occasionally making tea with his best friends, because most of his young friends and playmates are not in busy life now. Well, Xing Boen is there, but her temperament, even if she doesn't mind, she will be reserved, after all, she is not as casual as she was when she was a child. Fortunately, there is Bu Qianxue who can stand on the high place with her.
Thinking of this, Shi Min couldn't help turning his head to look at Bu Qianxue, who was reviewing the memorabilia beside him, his lips were tightly pursed, his brows were slightly raised, and he was writing non-stop. It seemed that he was still writing and had just agreed upon it. The? Reply. ?
