Chapter 023 The drama will begin

"I'll come!"

The originally noisy scene suddenly became silent.

Yan Xiufu has a wide forehead and a big face, a medium figure, three strands of black beard under the jaw, and a pair of eagles under the thick eyebrows. He exudes a bit of a suppressed and solemn atmosphere between opening and closing.

He wore a purple robe, no crown, only a simple silk and rough head, and a blue gem and jade belt around his waist.

He walked out slowly with his hands behind his back, and his official position was ashamed.

As the saying goes, when a person is in his position, his official power will arise.

As a senior cadre of the Tang Dynasty, Yizhen Jiedushi and a high position and power, Yan Xiufu did not need to be deliberately pretended. The invisible qualities and majesty of the chief officials in the border naturally emerged.

Behind him, Song Ji and Geng Lu, two confidants, were closely followed, both literary and military.

Everyone bowed and went down: "I have seen the envoy!"

"Meet Mr. Yan!"

Those who call envoys are usually under the command of officials, while those who call Yan Gong are gentry and celebrities from Qingzhou.

Tang Kuang continued to bow with everyone, sighing in his heart, thinking that he was so glorious that he was so miserable now...

Yan Xiufu walked to the venue and stood still, laughed loudly, waved his hand and said, "Everyone is exempt from gifts!"

At this time, Yan Ding, the butler of Yan's mansion, cleared his throat, stood on one side, and began to sing a ceremony.

It is nothing more than announcing the list of gifts given by the people who come to celebrate the birthday today, as well as gift lists. It is nothing more than gold, silver, jade, jewelry, silk and silk. Of course, some people also give it to a certain farm or garden outside the city, a certain fertile and rich mountain forest, and other large fixed assets.

Whenever Yan Ding read someone's name, he would go up to pay a birthday to Yan Xiufu. Yan Xiufu returned the greeting at the same time, and then this person would come to the seat under the guidance of Yan's family.

Sitting wherever you should sit, and you must not be confused at all.

Since ancient times, the officialdom has been strictly regulated and has been maintained for thousands of years.

It is such a cumbersome etiquette and process that is indispensable.

However, this means that the birthday party has officially begun.

Yan Ding sang one after another, and the guests gradually returned to their seats.

"Zhu Teng, the governor of Qingzhou, respect a pair of jade Ruyi in Hetian of the Western Regions! A cart of agate in the East China Sea!"

Following Yan Ding's lyrics, Zhu Wei stood up and bowed to Yingying: "Weier paid a birthday to the envoy on behalf of her father and her family, and wished her to be as blessed as the East China Sea and as long as the South Mountain!"

Yan Xiufu waved his hand: "Give me up, where is the governor Zhu? Why don't you give up a glass of water and wine? Let's have a fun together?"

Zhu Wei replied respectfully: "The envoy's fiftieth birthday is a grand event in our Qingzhou city, and the whole city is celebrating. For this reason, my father dared not neglect. He is now allocating personnel to maintain public order in the city. He then came to pay his birthday to the envoy and then arrived!"

Zhu Wei explained clearly why Zhu Teng didn't come, the key point was to emphasize that Zhu Teng "will arrive later."

Yan Xiufu smiled slightly: "Governor Zhu is intent, please sit down with a good niece!"

While speaking, Yan Xiufu turned his head slightly to Geng Lu and gave a secret wink.

Geng Lu quietly retreated.

Yan Xiufu and Zhu Wei's answers, as well as Geng Lu's secretly leaving the table, all fell into Tang's eyes one by one.

He understood that the show was about to begin.

Although Zhu Teng and his daughter are still starring, the plot and plot have been laid out in a reversal direction, because there is a little supporter who is so important that he is no longer at the mercy of the Zhu family.

"The Tang family's concubine son - Tang Tujing for hundreds of years of Jiannan's old wine."

After Yan Ding finished singing, many playboys with good things burst into laughter.

Although the gift is light and the people are strong, Yan Xiufu is the governor of the Ziqing vassal state in the end, and he is in power. The poor boy of the Tang family licked his face to pay his birthday. Let's come, but he can't even get a decent birthday gift. He just makes two jars of wine to fool people. Is this embarrassing himself or the embarrassing emperor?

This is the mentality of most people.

Yan Xiufu smiled slightly.

He and Tang Pingben have been together for many years. As a junior, Yan Xiufu didn't care about what gifts he brought to pay homage to his birthday, let alone care.

In fact, he was addicted to alcohol in his life, and the best thing was Jiannan Aged Brewing. The two jars of Jiannan Aged Brewing are not considered luxury. However, because Qingzhou and Shu are far away, this wine is also rare. Compared with the precious gifts given by others, it is naturally not worth mentioning, but you may not like the worthless things.

In a sense, Zhu Wei’s choice and planning are correct, and the so-called “to what he likes will have better results.

Tang Ping died in vain. The Tang family's desolate son held a grudge against the court and poisoned the senior officials of the dynasty in alcohol to vent his personal anger. Although this "motive" is a bit far-fetched to judge, as long as the evidence is conclusive, no matter whether Tang or not, others doubt or not, he is the scapegoat for the Zhu family to poison Yan Xiufu.

In the eyes of Zhu Teng and his daughter, taking risks today is an indispensable piece of chess piece.

No one would think of hiding poison in the birthday wine, especially the wine given by old friends after a sudden gift, including Yan Xiufu. After the matter was completed, just push all the charges on Tang Qiu, and then kill people to silence them, and then finish them all.

Even though Yan Xiufu was already deeply alert to Zhu Teng at this moment, he could never have imagined that Zhu Teng's methods would be so crazy and unscrupulous, and he would dare to poison him, the governor, directly.

How is that possible?

How dare you?

Zhu Teng may really not dare, but the people behind him dare.

I saw through this abruptly.

At this time, he took a deep breath, stepped forward and bowed, his little face turned slightly red, and his voice was weak and weak: "I wish you a sudden visit to the envoy. I wish you a long life and a long blessing!"

Yan Xiufu nodded slightly, nodded, and smiled slightly: "I am a guest when I come. Get up and return to my seat. I will appreciate your feelings."

The housekeeper Yan Ding continued to sing the ceremony, and sat down honestly, and began to watch the servants and maids of the Yan family come and go, serving wine and food.

There is a small table in front of each person, and there are three dishes and one soup and a little bit of heart.

A plate of hot, freshly steamed pork balls sprinkled with minced garlic and sticky bean paste.

A plate of green fish soup with cold pineapple (it is spinach from later generations). I don’t know what the taste is, but it looks good.

A small dish of white translucent cut into silky sashimi, accompanied by a spice of seasoning such as scallion, mustard, fermented black, and orange shredded, the number is cut into shreds. This is the most famous and common dish at the banquet of the Tang Dynasty nobles.

Another cup is okra soup. The complete sunflower leaves are like pig's ears, with green leaves and floating in the white soup, making you a little dizzy.

Tang Chang couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He lowered his head and stared at the simple and vulgar three dishes and one soup in front of him. The cooking technology of the Tang Dynasty was still in the low stage of filling his stomach. His tricky taste that was used to being nourished by modern food really needed to adapt slowly in the future.

For example, this sashimi is actually the only desirable thing, and the taste of the dipping sauce is really not satisfactory.

As for the freshness, it can be guaranteed. After all, Qingzhou is only a hundred miles away from the nearest coastline of Laizhou, and it can be reached in one day with a quick horse.

"This is a big bass caught from the sea. I took it to Qingzhou with a fresh horse and whipped it up, and I cut the thorn and occupied mustard to eat it. It tasted really delicious. Atu, you can try it."

Zhu Wei smiled and pointed out her slender hand and pointed to the sashimi in front of her. That means that if the small plate in front of Tangbang was not enough, she could still eat her.

Tang smiled abruptly, nodded, picked up a piece of it, hesitated for a while, and gently dipped some seasonings into his mouth.

However, he was unintentionally savoring the taste of sashimi at this moment, and his whole mind was already focused on Yan Xiufu.

The abrupt "carelessness" fell into Zhu Wei's eyes and was not polite, which added a little disgust.

But she didn't care. Anyway, the life of the Tang family's waste servant has come to an end.

After you die, don’t blame me for being cruel. If you make you fall in Qingzhou, you will be killed by a eunuch. If you want to blame, you will be blamed for your bad luck.

Zhu Wei recited silently in her heart, her heart was as cruel as a knife.
