Chapter 47 Dinner
Party
Entering the private room, Shen Jinyu and Song Yao sat in the upper seats. Next to their seats was the window. Looking out, they could have a panoramic view of the most prosperous night view of the imperial city.
A long lamp with no end extends out, with cars and people coming and going underneath, and the lights are bright. The vendors on both sides of the long street are selling their products enthusiastically, the lovers out for shopping are holding hands and chatting slowly, and there are performers performing in the wider area. , people gathered in a circle, and cheers came from time to time.
This Imperial City of Jin Dynasty is really prosperous. Qi Yue loves the excitement so much, he will definitely like it here.
"Jinyu, what are you thinking about?" Song Yao's words pulled him back from his thoughts. Shen Jinyu turned around and said calmly, "It's nothing."
They ordered a table of signature dishes, a large cold plate, roast lamb, gourd chicken, and pork elbow. Shen Jinyu looked around and found nothing he liked, especially the mutton, which had a strong smell of mutton, and he didn't like it even more.
When the dishes were served, the waiter filled their glasses with wine. Xue Ye was the first to raise a glass to Shen Jinyu.
"Master Shen, this is the first time I have dinner with you. I would like to toast you with this first glass of wine. The Potian Army and the fifth camp in the suburbs of Beijing are opposite each other. We can be considered close neighbors. Let's move around more in the future, Master Shen. , I’ll do it, you can do whatever you want!” After saying that, Xue Ye raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
"Okay! Mr. Xue still has a good drinker!" someone echoed.
Shen Jinyu curled up the corners of his mouth indifferently, raised his glass in return, and took a sip. The northwest wine was too strong, and there was a burning sensation in the throat. The wine had a mellow aroma, and Shen Jinyu frowned unconsciously.
After Xue Ye paid his respects, he went to pay his respects to Song Yao, "Sir Song, we are old friends, so I won't say much more. But last time you said you were cheating on me by inviting me to a drink, this time it's your turn to pay the bill!"
"Mr.
"Stop it, Mr. Song, are you still short of money?" A rough-looking man joked with a smile. That person was Xue Ye's subordinate, a hundred households in the fifth camp on the outskirts of Beijing.
Song Yao can fight with anyone, Shen Jinyu thought.
Xue Ye saluted each one in a circle. After completing the circle, his face was already red. The wine in the northwest was so strong that he was already drunk.
Everyone was drinking wine and eating meat. Shen Jinyu was not interested, so he picked up a few vegetables in front of him with chopsticks.
Just when he was bored, a man in green clothes and brocade robes stood up at the table opposite and walked over.
"Lord Shen, here is Tang Yuanqing, Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance. I would like to offer a toast to Lord Shen."
Shen Jinyu looked up and saw an unfamiliar face. Tang Yuanqing was handsome and handsome, with a scholarly air, gentle and elegant in his gestures. He was also a third-rank official, and he was incompatible with those people who were drinking and fist-fighting.
Shen Jinyu raised his glass and returned the greeting, "Sir, Mr. Tang, how did you get to hang out with those handsome military men?"
Tang Yuanqing smiled and said: "Master Shen doesn't know something. Zheng Li, the Minister of War, once rescued me, and I became sworn brothers with him. Master Xue and the others were introduced by Zheng Li, so they started playing together."
Shen Jinyu: "That's it."
After toasting, Tang Yuanqing returned to his seat. As soon as he sat down, a man in blue clothes and brocade robes beside him turned to talk to him. That man was Zheng Li, the minister of the Ministry of War. Zheng Li had a sunny and free-spirited appearance, and he was a scoundrel. Green appearance.
"Jin Yu, the people sent by the emperor to the southwest have returned. Duan Mufeng and Qi Yue are nowhere to be seen in the southwest. The emperor plans to search for them at the border areas of Shuobei. Duan Mufeng is cunning and is very likely to get out of the border." Song Yao He whispered in Shen Jinyu's ear.
Shen Jinyu paused while picking up the food, "Going out of customs?"
Song Yao: "His arrest warrants are everywhere in the entire Jin Dynasty. Apart from leaving the customs, it is impossible for him to remain silent. However, this is also a guess. Don't let go of any hope. All the checkpoints have been received. Order, whenever they appear, we will receive news as quickly as possible."
Shen Jinyu put down his chopsticks and took a sip of wine, "How come such living people disappeared without a trace like evaporating from the earth?"
Song Yao: "As long as people are still in the Jin Dynasty, it is impossible for them to have no interest at all. It may just be that we have not found any clues."
Shen Jinyu didn't answer. He reached out and touched the sword tassel on his waist. It was the sword tassel on Qi Yue's sword that he picked up in Changlin. He put Qi Yue's sword at home, took off the sword tassel and hung it up. On his waist.
Qi Yue bought this sword tassel when he went down the mountain to buy new year's goods during the New Year. The owner disappeared within two days of hanging it.
Shen Jinyu received everything about Qi Yue in his house, as if Qi Yue would definitely come back if these things were there.
The sword tassel was Qi Yue's favorite color, lake blue, with thin tassels of glass beads hanging from the bottom. Shen Jinyu groped for the glass beads, secretly feeling sad.
After three rounds of drinking, the landlady came in to entertain them. The landlady knew Xue Ye's identity, and the person who came with him must be a noble person of extraordinary status. As soon as she entered the door, she was attracted by the superior Shen Jinyu.
He sat there quietly, his eyes indifferent and distant, like a god who ignored all living beings.
"How are you, gentlemen? Are you satisfied?" The landlady looked away, turned around and said something to the boy, and he followed the order.
"Hey, Boss Mo, you're here... burp!" Xue Ye was already drunk. He burped, grabbed Boss Mo's sleeves and stood up, "Boss Mo's dress looks really good today."
"Look at what Mr. Xue said, don't my old clothes look good?" Boss Mo said angrily.
"It looks good, it looks good," Xue Ye said foolishly.
"Hey, this is my first time here, sir. This is my first time meeting you," Boss Mo asked, looking at Shen Jinyu with a smile.
"That's Mr. Shen, the newly appointed Lieutenant of the Potian Army. He comes with us for the first time today," explained Zheng Li, who was still conscious.
"No wonder, this is the first time for the slave family to meet such a handsome man," Boss Mo shyly covered his mouth with a handkerchief, "Today Master Shen is here for the first time. As a meeting gift, the slave family will give you a bottle of wine. But I am reluctant to drink the good wine that I have secretly stored."
Song Yao became excited when he heard about the good wine, "Okay, today I will take advantage of Mr. Shen and try the good wine that Boss Mo has secretly collected."
"Mo Shu, bring the wine," Boss Mo called to the door. As soon as he finished speaking, a young girl came up with the wine. The girl was wearing a red dress, and the colored bells on her body rang with the movements. He made a noise, lowered his head, and the bangs on his forehead blocked his eyes, but did not hide his dewy face.
"Hey, Boss Mo has such a beautiful maid?" Someone noticed Mo Shu and looked him up and down.
Boss Mo gave the person an angry look, "What maid? This is my biological sister, her name is Mo Shu."
