Chapter 174 The Chief Shepherd of the Dynasty and Xi Shi Tongue
Chapter 174: The First Patriarch of the Divine Dynasty and Xi Shi's tongue
What made the guard Ding even more dumbfounded was that the Governor actually came out to greet him in person, holding the young man's shoulder intimately, and laughed: "You're so stupid, you've kept me waiting for a long time."
Not to mention those soldiers watching the fun, even the silence was quite uncomfortable with this sudden enthusiasm, so they had to show a look of flattery and bow to the bottom: "The master of the ministry is going to kill the lower officials."
Zhang Jing reached out and lifted him up, and smiled and said, "You don't have to say that. You are the emperor's envoy, so you should maintain your dignity for Your Majesty."
Chen Si had to stand up obediently, and with Governor Zhang's unusual warm welcome, he followed him to the entrance of the front hall.
There were still two or three meters away from the hall door. The four tightly closed hall doors slowly opened silently, and a fragrant heat rushed towards him, making Chen Si squint his eyes involuntarily.
Zhang Jing smiled and said, "Please come in with my words."
"Mindang asked first." Chen Mo quickly turned sideways and gave in.
"Then let's go in together." Zhang Jing laughed, pulled his silent arm and walked into the hall side by side.
I saw that the hall was very open. I looked up and saw a large plaque on the bottom of the green, with four large gilded characters "Kegong Shoumao" written on it. There was a line of small characters behind it: "In September of the 33rd year of Jiajing, the letter was given to the Southeast Governor Zhang Jing". There was also a seal with the "Treasure of the Holy Emperor", which turned out to be written by Emperor Jiajing.
Under the plaque is a large red sandalwood carved dragon table, under the ground are two serrated 16 nanmu cereals, and in the middle is a precious cashmere carpet. As for all the decorations, they are all precious and needless to be described. However, the four smoke cages placed at the four corners of the house made Chen Mo look more... I saw that the bronze hollow smoke cage about three feet high was burning silently, which was neither smoke nor smelly, making people feel warm as spring, and there was no choking fireworks like ordinary charcoal furnaces.
The graceful maid served tea for the two adults and left silently.
"Longjing, Mingqian." He picked up the teacup as thin as a cicada's wing, gently lifted the lid of the cup, and greedily sniffed the faint fragrance. Zhang Butang laughed and said, "Please use my words, this is my treasure."
Chen Si picked up the teacup as he said, sipped a sip of fragrant tea, nodded and praised: "When the first taste was fresh and mellow, I sipped it carefully, and it was as rich as orchid. After taking a sip, I had already filled my mouth with saliva." He praised from the bottom of my heart: "Although Xiaguan loved tea ceremony, he had never drunk such a rare product."
Hearing his admiration came from the heart, Zhang Jing smiled like an old naughty boy, "This is not just before the rain, but was born from the oldest tea trees on Shi Peak. Even I have to ask Li Tianchong pitifully, and I have only gotten so few taels. I will never give up when ordinary people come."
"My elder, what is your singing?" The so-called 'The wise and noble people must have something to ask for'. If you are silent and pretend to be stupid, you will have to be regarded as a fool by Zhang Jing. So he simply put down the tea cup and asked directly: "There is no one here, just tell me directly to the students, otherwise the good tea will be like tasting the fragrant tongue of a beautiful woman." As he said that, he suddenly smiled and said, "You Shaoxing people don't eat this dish."
Chen Si said strangely: "Why can't Shaoxing people eat?"
General Zhang, who was in his sixties, smiled narrowly and said, "Because there is a piece of snow-white and red tender flesh in this clam, which often sticks out of the shell, just like a beautiful tongue, so there is a elegant name called Xi Shi Tong... For the sake of the fellow villagers, let's stay away from me." Xi Shi was from Zhuji, Shaoxing, so Zhang Jing joked about his silent hometown.
Even Xu Wei couldn't take advantage of the silence. Zhang Butang obviously found the wrong opponent. He heard that Chen Si bowed to the 'Xi Shi tongue' with a solemn face and said seriously: "Miss Xi Shi, since the battle to destroy Wu, people have never seen you again. I thought you had been sleeping by the Huansha Creek, but I still wandered on the bottom of the Fujian sea. Thousands of years have passed, and you must be very homesick." As he said, he said with a compassion: "Now please go to Xiaosheng's Wudian Temple for a while. I will take you back to my hometown after a few days."
Zhang Jing smiled so hard that he leaned back and forth, so he had to ask silently to enjoy this plate of chicken soup boiled in sea clams alone.
