Chapter 509 Updated

"You came?"

The Liao envoy enthusiastically asked people to make tea.

"Yes, your envoy came to Bianliang not long ago, right?"

The two exchanged a few words and then the tea was brought.

The Liao envoy pointed to the tea cup and said, "Try it. This is the tea given to me by your Majesty last year. It is said that it is some kind of dragon and phoenix group tea...it tastes good."

The majesty he was talking about was naturally not Zhao Zhen, but Yelu Hongji.

This is showing off.

Shen An did not drink tea. The Liao envoy smiled and said: "Reluctant? That's right. Every year during the suburban festival, your Zhao family will reward the Central Committee and the Privy Council with one cake each, and the people in the two houses will share two cakes of tea... pitiful!"

The production process of Longfeng Tuan Tea is complex, and its fame is probably due to its status as dragon liver and phoenix marrow.

But the Liao envoy actually had one, and it was probably given by Zhao Zhen when the two countries exchanged gifts.

"This is not how you drink tea!"

Shen An just said something lightly, and the Liao envoy smiled and said: "Since you don't want to drink tea, let's talk about it. What are the Mangshan troops planning to do when they sneak into Daliao? An assassination? Most likely an assassination."

This is a head start.

Shen An said in shock: "Who said that the Mangshan Army went to the Liao Kingdom?"

"Playing dumb?"

The Liao envoy sneered: "At most half a month, the heads of the Mangshan Army will be sent to Bianliang. By then, the Song Emperor will be embarrassed..."

If this thing really happened, it would be one thing for Zhao Zhen to be embarrassed, but the Liao people would also take advantage of the situation and put pressure on him.

How do you respond?

The accompanying Chen Ang and the two officials from the ceremony room were looking at Shen An.

In their opinion, there was no solution to this matter, so they hated Chen Zhong even more for colluding with the Liao people.

Shen An said calmly: "This matter... Chen Zhong has a personal enmity with a certain person, and you actually believe what he said..."

He shook his head and laughed at the intelligence of the Liao envoy, but Chen Ang and the officials in the ceremony room were dumbfounded.

Isn't your attitude the same as Feng Li's?

Even if you find an excuse that Chen Zhong has a personal grudge against you, it's useless!

The Liao envoy obviously thought so too. He said with a ferocious smile: "Do you want to fight to the death? The news will come soon. It is estimated that it will arrive in half a month at most."

Shen An smiled and said: "How about... make a bet?"

"What bet?"

Gambling was so popular in these years that the Song Dynasty needed to issue a ban on gambling to restrict it.

Liao people also like gambling, so the Liao envoy's eyes lit up and he directly stated the bet he wanted: "How to make fragrant dew, other than that, Daliao does not accept any bets."

Xianglu is a cornucopia, and the money it can earn every year makes people jealous.

Chen Ang felt that Shen An would not agree.

If it were compensation, it would be within 100,000 yuan at most, but Xianglu could earn more than that every year.

But Shen An nodded slightly, stood up and said, "That's fine, but what are you going to use as a bet?"

The Liao envoy thought about it, but found that he had no corresponding bet.

If there is no corresponding bet, why should Shen An bet against you?

But he couldn’t bear to part with the formula of the fragrant dew!

He looked at Shen An and said slowly: "If the Mangshan army is fine, I will apologize in public!"

The envoy apologized in public, which represented the apology of the Liao Kingdom...

This greedy fool!

Shen An sneered in his heart and said, "That's fine, let's make a written statement."

After both parties signed a written note and signed a pledge, the bet was deemed established.

Gambling was banned in the Song Dynasty, but no one would question this bet.

After leaving the embassy, ​​the Liao envoy's laughter could be heard behind him.

"Hahahaha... Go and get some food and wine. Ask for the best. Don't be reluctant to give up the money. Go and buy it. You will get rich soon."

Chen Ang couldn't help it any longer, and he lamented: "Waiting for the imperial edict, you actually used your private property to fund the Song Dynasty, but it's not your fault!"

This matter is Chen Zhong's fault, you shouldn't take the blame, and how valuable is Xianglu? You were actually willing to take it out.

This bet is not equal!

Everyone was moved by this and felt that Shen An had suffered a big loss. He just gave up his own interests for the sake of the Song Dynasty. This kind of spirit is really touching!

The news spread. Zhao Zhen stayed for a moment after receiving the news, then dropped the memorial in his hand, got up and walked out.

The bright spring sunshine injected some vitality into his body.

He looked at the spring scenery quietly until Queen Cao came over.

"Officials, I heard that Shen An actually used the formula of fragrant dew to make a bet with the Liao envoy... Do you want to use fragrant dew to make amends?"

Zhao Zhen nodded, "The fragrant dew is valuable, and the Liao people should be satisfied, but I..."

He clenched his hands into fists, puffed up his cheeks, and said, "But I'm not satisfied. It's not his fault. It's not his fault."

This was more like an alliance under the city, which made Zhao Zhen feel aggrieved.

Empress Cao was also moved, "I used to think that young man Shen An was unruly, but his actions today made me know that I was wrong."

She said bitterly: "Chen Zhong died undeservedly. The official, the man from the Privy Council..."

Her words reminded Zhao Zhen.

Then a chamberlain went to the Privy Council and conveyed Zhao Zhen's order.

"Your Majesty has something to say. He is careless as an official. He shows off confidential information to others all day long, and even uses it to exchange favors with others. What are these officials doing here? Drive them out, and drive them far away, so that I won't watch. Upset..."

Zhang Sheng was dumbfounded.

It was his instinct to protect the official who 'accidentally leaked the secret'. After this incident, many officials in the Privy Council looked at him with reverence in their eyes.

No matter what the reason is, the Shangguan who protects his shortcomings is worthy of everyone's following.

But it’s only been a few days?

I just assured him that he was fine, but the official family turned against him, and he was even exiled...

If you drive far away, isn't this exile?

This matter...

Zhang Sheng said anxiously: "That's all, I take your orders."

The official was then taken away by people from the Imperial City Department, and the Privy Council fell into silence.

Shen An's bet with the Liao envoy using the formula of fragrant dew was spread everywhere. Everyone in Bianliang City was moved by Shen An, and felt that this man might have become stupid, and he was willing to The fragrant dew formula was put to bet.

Bao Zheng came. When he entered, he talked to Guo Guo about how Bao Shou now hates dogs, and then went to find Shen An.

Shen An was writing something, Bao Zheng took a look and said: "It's been two months, Jia Lian is here..."

"Who is Jia Lian?"

Shen An said: "A character in a storybook, a character who struggled for a long time and finally sank."

He has been busy lately, so Stone Notes has stopped updating for a long time. Sister Xiao Yang has sent Ah Qing to remind her more times. The girl was very dissatisfied with him for making Lin Daiyu so helpless, but she was even more dissatisfied with his discontinuation of writing.

Do you want to be a eunuch?

Seeing his calm demeanor, Bao Zheng's worries dissipated.

"Although Xianglu can make money, you are still young, so you will naturally have many opportunities in the future."

"I just lost a little, so I can give you money."

Bao Zheng tried to comfort him, but in the end he couldn't hold back his discomfort, "Did you panic at that time?"

Shen An lost a lot on this bet. If he hadn't been in a panic...how could he be so stupid?

"No."

Shen An said seriously: "Don't panic."

Not only did I not panic, I even wanted to laugh.

This kid is stupid!

Bao Zheng sighed in his heart and said, "Your father-in-law knows..."

Well……

This is a bit embarrassing!

It doesn’t matter if the whole world thinks I’m crazy, but my wife can’t!

Bao Zheng patted him on the shoulder and said, "Since we have agreed, let's do it."

He felt that Shen An should have been heartbroken during this period, and was heartbroken because of his decision.

That's all, don't irritate him.

Not only Bao Zheng thought so, but the Yang family also thought so, so Xiao Yang asked Ah Qing to send a handkerchief with a person embroidered on it and two poems.

——The noble man lies in the snow-covered mountains, and the beauties come under the moonlit forest.

Is this... a hint?

Soon, sister Xiao Yang will get married, and now she has embroidered this poem by Shen An...

"Come beauty."

Shen An's energy improved immediately, and it took only half a day to write two chapters.

He checked for typos, then looked up to the sky and sighed: "With this ability, I can survive without being an official and leave a name in history."

This man was not ashamed of plagiarism and proudly asked people to send these two chapters to the Yang family.

Yang Zhuoxue is undergoing bombing...

"...That kid thought he was smart, but...how much money can Xianglu earn in a year? He just gambled it away. It's not like the court has no money, so why should he gamble with his property?"

Mrs. Li was very aggrieved.

When the neighbors saw her before, they were all smiling in a weird way.

Then there is some gossip.

The Yang family found Shen An as their son-in-law. The neighbors used to be envious and jealous, but now they laugh at him.

Your son-in-law lost the most valuable property of the family to the Liao people. Are you dumbfounded?

Faced with these gossips, Mrs. Li was very angry, so she came to explain the matter to her daughter.

"You should keep an eye on these things after you get married. Don't let all the Shen family's property go to waste. What will you use for food then?"

Yang Zhuoxue is making clothes. Before she got married, she made two sets of clothes for everyone in the family, and now she is making them for Shen An.

She raised her head and said seriously, "Mom, he has a salary and can support us."

"fool!"

Li said angrily: "Including his sister, there are only three of you. It's easy to support, but what about the servants?"

"There is also Zhuangzi."

Yang Zhuoxue's words made Li just want to vomit blood.

"You, you, you know how to make your mother angry!"

Ms. Li stood up and said, "Let's see if you don't regret it in the future."

She hurried out. Yang Zhuoxue looked outside, shook his head and smiled.

She has no regrets. UU reading www.uukaｎshu． net

I would happily write about such a person, even if he is impoverished, as if he could write "I smiled at the sky from the side of my sword, leaving behind my liver and gallbladder"; could write "The Story of Stone"...

"Little lady, little lady..."

Ah Qing came and happily took out some pieces of paper.

Yang Zhuoxue suddenly stood up and came over: "The latest one?"

"Yes, the latest two times."

Yang Zhuoxue felt happy, took the manuscript and read it carefully.

——Jia Er secretly married Sister You…

After reading the title, Yang Zhuoxue sighed: "Jia Lian has endured it for so long and finally fallen..."

The girl was reading The Story of Stone, and she reached the end in a daze, feeling a sense of loss.

"Is he so insightful into the world? Compared with him, I am so useless."

Men in the Song Dynasty can get married at the age of sixteen, and they are adults when they get married. In later generations, they will still be junior high school students, carefree, and only have headaches at the age of homework and exams...

But at the age of sixteen in the Song Dynasty, he was about to become an adult and had to learn to establish a family.
