Chapter 64
After getting to know each other, these traitors must find a place to gather together, sit down and have a good drink.
The backbone of the eunuch party, led by Wei Zhongxian and Zhang Yong, the unscrupulous uncle and nephew, began to find a place to have dinner.
"Two brothers, you are here in Beijing for the first time. Xu invites you to the barbecue shop. The roast duck is awesome!" Xu Xianchun couldn't wait to show himself in front of Zhang Yong's potential stock.
Wei Zhongxian stopped Xu Xianchun: "Xu Qianhu, our family is an elder. They are all my nephew's brothers and our nephews. How can you spend money when you come to Beijing for the first time? Let's treat us!"
Jiu Qiansui was no longer the case when Zhang Yong just saw him. Jiu Qiansui had already begun to have the prototype of Jiu Qiansui. Since Wei Chao brought him back to the palace, Jiu Qiansui's waist bag gradually bulged. Although the roast duck from Bianqifang is not cheap, he can still afford it once a few times.
Huang Degong and Kong Youde introduced themselves, shocking Zhang Yong. He thought to himself: My elder brother is like a divine helper! These two famous generals were actually pulled by him to be younger brothers! I wonder if it was because he was too lucky or something else? Could it be that he had traveled through time?
But no matter how suspicious he is, he is still not sure. When he finds an opportunity, he must test it.
If the elder brother really traveled through time, that would be great. From now on, the two brothers joined forces, what else can't be dealt with?
But after thinking about it, Zhang Yong felt it was unlikely. Just imagine, if he was a time traveler like himself, would he like the Donglin Party that harmed the country and the people?
All the upright people in Donglin yelled: "Damage to the country and the people?" Your eunuch party is to harm the country and the people!"
When Zhang Yong thought of this, he could only classify this as the butterfly effect brought about by his time travel. If he hadn't traveled through time, Gao Shixin would have been dead. It was precisely because he was not dead that he had taken over the two younger brothers Huang Degong and Kong Youde.
After walking into the Bianyifang Roast Duck Shop, Wei Zhongxian opened his voice and shouted at the counter: "Shopkeeper, come five roast ducks, each of us is one!"
Zhang Yong quickly corrected: "Uncle, we need to order other dishes, just give a roast duck."
Wei Zhongxian pointed at Xu Xianchun, Huang Degong and Kong Youde three strong men: "Look at them so strong, can each of us eat? Today, my uncle is the host, don't argue, five, one of them!"
Even Xu Xianchun couldn't stand it anymore, and he whispered: "Eunuch Wei, one person is just too many. Each roast duck also needs lotus leaf cakes, sweet noodles sauce, green onions and cucumbers. We also have to order other dishes, and each person can't finish it."
Zhang Yongdao: "Uncle, I'll do it some."
The menus were all bamboo and wood signs hanging on the walls. Zhang Yong ordered a roast duck in front of the bamboo and wood sign, a fried duck strip with sauce, a red stew, a duck liver frozen, a sea bass roast, a small fried tofu, a stir-fried vegetable heart, a Buddha-hand golden roll, a mutton roast, a fragrant shrimp, and finally a duck soup with monkey head mushrooms.
After ordering so many dishes, seeing Wei Zhongxian's face unnatural, Zhang Yong whispered in his ear: "Uncle, my nephew knows that you are not very rich, so let's do this. I'll give you the money after the meal."
"It's okay, no need, my uncle still has some money here." Wei Zhongxian said hurriedly.
"Uncle, you still owe money to your guest mother. Please save some money."
The wine and food were on the table. Huang Degong and Kong Youde had such a good meal for the first time. The two of them ate the red elbow that had just been served was eaten up like a wind and cloud. The mutton came up and was eaten up by the two of them in a short while, and each of the other three had only eaten a small bite.
When the roast duck came up, Huang Degong was about to put it into the bowl, but Zhang Yong spread a lotus leaf cake on the plate: "Two brothers, you learn from me and eat it like this."
Put duck meat in the lotus leaf cake, then put shredded green onion in it, then dip the cucumber in sweet noodle sauce on it, roll it up, and then put it into your mouth. Huang Degong and Kong Youde imitated Zhang Yong's way of eating it, and felt that it was much better than simply eating duck meat.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, Huang Degong spoke: "Eunuch Wei, Eunuch Zhang, and Xu Qianhu, this time we came to Beijing and planned to buy a yard in Beijing, so that at least ten people could live in it. The boss gave us 1,000 taels of silver and two trucks of goods. The goods were to be sold, and we would buy another house."
Xu Xianchun smiled and said, "It's best for you to find me in this matter. Although the Jinyiwei has been useless in recent years, he still has connections. After Xu went back, he would ask you where there is a cheap house for sale. You two are not in a hurry for one or two days. The inn that Xu rented for you has paid for ten days."
Zhang Yong quickly stood up and thanked Xu Xianchun: "Then I will thank Xu Baihu for my elder brother!"
Although the housing prices in Beijing are cheap these days, they are not worth the market. It is not easy to buy a suitable house in Beijing. People in this era do not have the concept of hoarding houses and speculating on houses. Real houses are for living, not for speculation. Some people are houses left by their ancestors and will never take action unless they have to.
Generally speaking, people who sell houses are not only those who are owed to gambling and are lazy and unable to survive, or are officials who are retired and return home.
The house of Huang Degong, the officials who retired and returned to the countryside, and some old houses passed down from ancestors are too small to live in so many people. In the future, not only will Gao Shixin live in this house, but Zhang Yong will also often live in it.
In fact, many father-in-laws with certain status in the Ming Dynasty had their own houses outside the Forbidden City. Going to the palace was like going to work. They went to the palace during the day and went back to Beijing at night to have a warm kang. Ugh, it seemed like they were wrong, only wives who had the right food, no children. However, there were exceptions. Eunuch Wei had children, and more than one, but they were godsons, and even godsons older than him.
It is precisely because there are too few people who want to sell houses that it is not easy to find a suitable house. However, with the Jinyiwei coming forward, there is basically no problem.
Zhang Yong also knew that the Jinyiwei was already very useless under Luo Sigong's leadership at this time. It was not until the Tianqi came to power and the nine thousand years later that the Jinyiwei restored its original majesty. Originally, the Jinyiwei was a supervisory agency for the imperial officials, not only the intelligence agency of the Ming Dynasty, but also the anti-corruption agency and the anti-corruption agency. However, the current Jinyiwei commander Luo Sigong was in harmony with those civil officials who should have been under their surveillance. How can such Jinyiwei not be abandoned?
Luo Sigong's son is the famous Luo Yangxing. This kid first committed suicide by robbers and then the Qing Dynasty.
However, no matter how useless the Jinyiwei is, he has a wide range of connections. It is not a problem to buy a suitable house at a cheap price in the capital.
After drinking and eating, Wei Zhongxian was already drunk and couldn't even sit steadily. As for the matter of paying the bill, he had already been thrown to Java, and of course Zhang Yong took out the money to pay the bill.
"It's only a few taels of silver, it's not expensive." Zhang Yong said to Xu Xianchun and others with a smile.
Huang Degong and Kong Youde were shocked: Three taels of silver are not expensive? These three taels of silver are the living expenses of people like himself for three years! Huang Degong is better. Every time he kills the head of the Tartars, he can get drunk. Kong Youde, a miner, has always lived a tight life. This time he entered the capital, just like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden.
There is no banquet that will never end. After that, Zhang Yong returned to the palace alone. Xu Xianchun naturally returned to his own house. Huang Degong and Kong Youde returned to the inn where Xu Xianchun helped them pay their ten-day rent. What about nine thousand years later? He did not return to the palace, but went to Keshi's residence.
Zhang Yong knew very well that the couple had already walked together. He couldn't think of any reason, so he made Kebaba abandon his ex-husband Wei Chao, who was on par with food, and chose an old man in his fifties. Perhaps Jiu Qiansui had some skills.
Three days later, the Jinyiwei went to the inn rented by Huang Degong and Kong Youde.
Seeing a group of Jinyiwei strode into the inn, the inn was full of chaos and customers scattered. The shopkeeper and waiter were so scared that they hid down on the table.
