Most of the scholars who accompany you in the hall are the children of the county's right surname, Chen, Bu, etc. There are few Han scholars, but only one. Yue Jin introduced their names to Xun Zhen one by one, and Xun Zhen talked with them in a friendly and close manner. Because of Que Xuan and Lu Su, there were children of these two surnames among the county officials who were sitting, and they were specially summoned by Le Jin to enter the government. Xun Zhen also chatted and joked with the county officials including them.

When the narration lasts until dusk, the music enters a banquet, and everyone sits together happily, drinking and dancing, and drinking until everyone is intoxicated.

The banquet was scattered, and because of the curfew, the county officials and county officials who were feasting had to live in the official quarters.

If you drink to your heart's content, but don't feel sleepy, two or three people sit in the dormitory, or three or four people gather under the moon in the dormitory. His prestige is illustrious, and he talks with words, but his smile is kind and makes people feel like a spring breeze.

Following the vassals of Xunzhen Xingzhou, Xin Ai and other military officials did not enter the city, but stayed outside the city with their troops. Chen Ying and other literati were also placed in the official residence to rest, Zhang Zhao, Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai, etc. Several high-ranking officials and Xun Zhen went to the residence of Le Jin to sleep together. It was getting dark, Zhang Zhao and the others went into the room to rest, Xun Zhen had something to tell Le Jin, so he would talk to Le Jin for a while.

As early as in Fanyang Pavilion, Le Jin followed Xun Zhen and learned about Xun Zhen's food preferences.

He knew that Xunzhen liked to drink Shu tea, so he immediately took out the tea cakes he had kept, and scorched them into red, then smashed them into powder, put them in the porcelain, poured them into a pot of water, set them on fire, and poured the tea when the water boiled. In the end, he sprinkled onions, ginger, and oranges, and boiled them together with the tea. When it was cooked, he put it into a pottery bowl. He held it and presented it to Xun Zhen, saying, "This tea was bought by Mizizhong. , It is said that it is Wuyang tea, it is rare and rare, I don’t dare to drink too much when I enter it, and I have a few cakes left, waiting for the general to go down to the county, please the general to taste it.”

Nowadays, the tea-making process is still in its infancy. The so-called "picking tea from Jingba to make cakes and making them with rice paste". It is used for bonding and forming, so the brewed tea soup will smell faintly of rice. Although the method of making tea is still in its early days, the method of adding seasonings to it when brewing tea is similar to that of later generations. , Xun Zhen was originally against this method of brewing tea, but after drinking it a few times, she got used to the taste. The tea of ​​the present age is different from that of later generations. The manufacturing process is simple, and it does need to add some seasonings to make it delicious.

Xun Zhen took the tea bowl, first glanced at the brown color, then smelled it, then took a sip, closed her eyes and savored it for a moment, then said with a smile, "I drink the tea, just drink it from the cow, the famous tea entered my mouth. , there is a better comparison: cow chewing peony is also. Even if this tea is Wuyang tea, I don't know whether it is good or bad." He was not arrogant, and his tasting behavior just now was not pretentious, he really wanted to taste it. Good or bad, good or bad, but you can't really taste it. Wuyang and Nan'an produce famous teas. Xunzhen has drunk tea from these places before, but compared with teas from other places, he drank the same taste, and he did not feel that there was a difference.

In the present day, there are very few people in the north who drink tea, and a little more people in the south. Le Jin is from the north, and has little interest in tea drinking. It is only because of Xun Zhen’s influence that he sometimes cooks and drinks a little bit of tea. Seeing that Xun Zhen is not dissatisfied with this tea He took out all the remaining tea cakes and presented them to Xun Zhen.

Xun Zhen smiled and said: "Wen Qian, it's rare to see Shu merchants these days. The value of these tea cakes may not be low. Don't you feel bad if you offer them all to me?"

The military is in chaos at sea, and the roads between the north and the south are blocked. Not to mention the merchants in Shu, even the merchants in the south of the Yangtze River are now rare in the north of the Yangtze River.

"Jin is really not good at drinking tea, but now that I live outside the office, I can't always get close to the general. When I think about the general, I will drink a little bit of it. If the general can't drink this tea, I don't know how good or bad it is. If it's bad, it's better to give it to the general."

Xun Zhen smiled and accepted it happily. Looking at the furnishings in the room, she saw that it was very simple. She remembered hearing about Le Jin's integrity in the county, and said to Le Jin, "I Wen Qing's daily food is not heavy. Is there any such thing?"

Le Jin replied: "Jin and Jin's wife are just two people. One meal and one dish are enough for use. Too much is a waste."

Le Jin has no children, only his wife lives in the county with him.

Xun Zhen said, "Can your wife sleep? Please come and see me."

Xun Zhen wanted to see him, but he shouted even when he was asleep. He went in and out of the room, and went to wake up his wife in person, leading him to see Xun Zhen.

Le Jin's wife, surnamed Guo, married Le Jin when he was in Yingchuan. Seeing that Le Jin had brought her into the room, Xun Zhen put down the tea bowl, looked up, and saw that she didn't apply any grease, she wore a cloth skirt with Jing Chai, and her clothes were simple. ?

Xun Zhen couldn't help sighing: "Wen Qian, He Qinglian is like this!" Guo Shi bowed down and saluted, Xun Zhen called her up, looked around the room again, patted the mat where she sat down, and sighed again, "The food is tasteless, The guests don’t have a blanket, it’s over!” He said to Le Jin, “You have two thousand stones for me, how can I make Qing Dingzi as my next servant?” Dian Wei, who was called to the guards outside, said, “Order the young mansion to take money and silk of 100,000 yuan. Gift Wen Qian."

The Shaofu is in charge of Xun Zhen's private money. After all, rewarding Le Jin this time is a private act, and it cannot be paid from the public treasury of the state capital.

Dian Wei Yingnuo made a note of this, and when the next day dawned, he would pass Xunzhen's order to the people of the shogunate and let them do it.

Le Jin and Mr. Guo give thanks.

Xun Zhen Wenyan said a few words to Mrs Guo. Seeing that she was timid, she didn't say much, and told her to go back to rest. After she left, Xun Zhen and Le Jin talked about Xiapi County and Yanzhou for a while. , The war in Yuzhou, and then went straight to the topic, saying: "Wen Qian, today's county hall and tonight's banquet are not the place to talk. I have something important to tell you."

Le Jin replied respectfully: "I dare to ask the general to show you~www.wuxiaspot.com~ If my brother and friend can worship the prefect of Jiujiang, you know this matter."

"Yes."

"Chen Wen, the governor of Yangzhou, violated the power of Jiujiang prefecture quite a bit. The other day my brother sent a secret letter to me, saying that Chen Wen seemed unwilling to return his power easily, and he was afraid that a war might end. Xiapi borders Jiujiang. There is no need for the minister, but it is necessary to transport food and supply equipment. You can take stock of the county treasury in the past two days, and report the exact number of grain and equipment storage in the county to the shogunate."

The state and the shogunate have records of the number of grains and equipment currently stored in Xiapi and other counties, but before they are needed, they must be checked again, so as to avoid things that are too inconsistent with the accounts due to damage and other issues.

Le Jin replied, "No."

Seeing that Le Jin didn't say anything, but there was excitement between his brows and eyes. He knew that he must have the intention to fight, but he swallowed it because of his own words, "You don't need to act in a decisive battle". , without saying anything, Xun Zhen smiled and said: "Zhiqing is good in the army! It's just that Pengcheng and Jiujiang are Xinde, and Xiapi cannot be guarded unless they are important. Back in the army."
