Chapter 42(2/2)
The stomach that warmed up because of ginger soup suddenly became hungry.
"It smells so good!" Lord Tang couldn't help but say.
A Dong put down the bowl and said, "This is the porridge made by Brother Sui himself, it smells so good! There are minced meat, mushrooms, celery, and crumbled peanuts in it. Brother Sui, Brother Sui is such a great person, such a great person!"
This little girl was just carrying Suizhou on her back and arranged her Zhou cousin. After being discovered by Suizhou, she hurriedly tried to make up for it.
Unfortunately, she is too young and can't think of any new words. After tossing and turning, she can only read "What a great person" several times.
Tang Fan glanced at her sideways, but did not expose her. He lowered his head and scooped a spoonful of hot porridge, then put it into his mouth after smothering it.
The porridge and rice have been simmered by low heat, and the meaty aroma will appear in your mouth.
The existence of mushrooms and peanuts has increased the taste of the porridge to a higher level. You don’t have to chew it in your mouth. You are already full of fragrant and soft mouths. It is best for Lord Tang, who has been hungry for a long time.
Tang Fan stopped talking and just buried his head in the hard work.
Seeing this, Suizhou also picked up the spoon and started eating.
After the two of them had almost finished their meals and slowed down, Suizhou asked: "There are a lot of things happening in Shuntian Mansion during this period?"
Tang Fan remembered the words he had just asked about how thin he had just asked him, and shook his head and said, "It's not from Shuntian Mansion."
He sent Adong to bed first, and then he started to Suizhou.
However, there are many taboos when it comes to the inner palace. Even if you are close to Suizhou, you can't say much. If you know a lot, sometimes it is a disaster but a blessing.
Tang Fan then picked some of the main ones and said it. There were many unfinished words, and Tang Fan did not need to explain them clearly in detail. With Suizhou's intelligence, it can naturally be guessed.
After hearing this, Suizhou was silent for a while, as if thinking, and then said for a long time: "There are many secrets in this matter. As an internal official, Wang Zhi may not be in trouble, but as your identity, it is better not to get involved too deeply."
His meaning is very clear. Wang Zhi is a eunuch, and he is his own person to the emperor and imperial concubine, but Tang Fan is a foreign minister and his rank is still very low. If you know too much, the people above will be unhappy and want to deal with him, it will be something that can be solved with a casual wave of your hand.
Tang Fan smiled and said, "Don't worry, the murderer has been sentenced to death. No matter how many there are, I can't control it. I will not interfere with the matter of Eunuch Wang in the future."
Even though Tang Fan was extremely smart and had many wisdom and tricks, he would never have expected that after that, he would have countless opportunities to deal with Eunuch Wang, and changed the political life that Eunuch Wang should have flashed like a meteor.
He finished drinking the porridge, put the bowl, and praised: "A Dong's rice is already pretty good. Your skills are better than hers. In comparison, I am like a mediocre person with little diligence!"
Suizhou had a faint smile in his eyes: "Since we are here, why should you do it?"
What this means is that if A Dong gets married in the future and you marry again, what should I do?
The foodie Lord Tang was not happy because of this sentence from his good friend, but became melancholy.
It was getting late, and the two chatted for a while before they went back to their house to rest.
Although I drank ginger soup, Tang Fan was still infected with wind and cold the next day.
This disease came with great danger, and Lord Tang was knocked down without exception.
He lay on the bed, coughing after coughing, and getting a little hot, making his face red and his eyes blurred.
There is always gain if you give up. What comes with it is that you don’t have to go to the yamen and the class. Lord Tang can finally ask for sick leave with confidence and take a sick person at home.
Although it is very uncomfortable to get sick, the treatment of patients is obviously different. Some people have prepared the meal and brought it to their mouths. They don’t have to use the water to wash their faces by themselves. Some people twisted a veil and took the initiative to help him wipe the face.
But Lord Tang still feels unhappy.
Just like at the moment, he looked at the white porridge and pickled vegetables in front of him, and felt that the bird was about to fade out of his mouth. He couldn't help but beg the person in front of him, "Can you come with some meat? Even beef sauce or crystal meat?"
Suizhou looked at Lord Tang’s pitiful expression and felt a little funny, but he still looked cold and indifferent: “No.”
Lord Tang sneezes, tears are almost coming out, his vision becomes hazy, his nose is still itchy, and he looks more and more pitiful.
The Baihu Sui was so hard that he was still unmoved to see this and handed the white porridge in his hand to Lord Tang.
"Eat yourself or feed me?"
"Eat yourself, eat yourself!" Lord Tang raised the white flag and surrendered.
Just kidding, if he was fed spoon by spoon, his wise and powerful image would be gone.
Just as he saw this tasteless white porridge and the salty pickled vegetables, he really lost his appetite.
At this time, the savior fell from the sky.
Adong pushed the door open and came in: "Brother, someone is coming to you outside. He is very stylish and said he is from the West Factory."
Tang Fanru received a general amnesty and wanted to put down the bowl in his hand when he heard this. Sui Zhou glared coldly and then held it up embarrassedly.
Suizhou asked A Dong to come over to supervise Tang Fan to eat the bowl of porridge no matter what, and then he got up and walked out.
As soon as he walked out of the room, he saw two people walking towards him.
The leader, although wearing a regular dress, walked away with his hands behind his back and looked arrogant, was obviously a man with a great background, and Suizhou really knew him.
The visitor was the Xichang Admiral who had become famous recently, and the eunuch Wang Zhi and Wang, who inherited his predecessors such as "traitorous officials" and "power officials".
Although he visited the door, Eunuch Wang came in directly before the host was greeted. He was like entering a no-man situation, and he was really imposing.
While walking, I also commented: "There are too many flowers and plants in this yard, and they are planted in a mess. I don't know how to play tricks at all. I'm dazzled by others. I really don't taste it!"
Suizhou bowed and said, "I don't know if Mr. Wang is coming, and I'm sorry to forgive me."
He has such a personality and looks so slight and dead when talking to the emperor and the empress dowager. However, Suizhou has a strong ability to do things. Because he is a family member of the empress dowager's mother, Emperor Chenghua and Empress Dowager Zhou like him very much. He thinks that he is a person who can do things like this, and he does not rely on his status as a relative of the foreign affairs. He is much better than those meritorious relatives who do nothing.
So Empress Dowager Zhou likes to tell everyone: What is the state of Azhou?
Emperor Chenghua even compared Suizhou to Sun Jizong, the elder brother of Emperor Yingzong.
Who was Sun Jizong? He was the first foreign relative of the previous dynasty and the current dynasty. He was deeply trusted by the emperor in both dynasties. He was able to get on horseback, govern the army, restored Emperor Yingzong, and helped the emperor to preside over the compilation of history books.
How much did the emperor trust? He handed over the military power to him, and even refused to let him retire. When there was a major matter in the court, he would definitely be the leader. A few years ago, he was just added to the Grand Tutor, and the civil servant impeached him, saying that the foreign relatives should not be in charge of the army, and the emperor ignored him.
When a relative of the foreigner takes this position, it is really enviable and jealous.
Regardless of whether Suizhou really has the style of Sun Jizong or the emperor specially praised me for my mother's sake, anyway, with such an evaluation, Suizhou's status will naturally be unique.
Although he himself was unwilling to go through the back door, he was still an ordinary Jinyiwei household, but in time, he might not be able to rise to the top. It is not difficult to find people with status, and it is not difficult to find people with ability. What is rare is that they have both identity and ability.
Therefore, although Wang Zhi was favored by the emperor and Concubine Wan and held great power, he reluctantly restrained his arrogance in his body in the face of such a person, and he bowed to Suizhou and bowed back to his favor: "I said who it is? It turns out that the master here has come. I just made a comment. I hope you don't be surprised!"
His tone was casual, and it didn't seem like he was really apologizing. Suizhou naturally didn't care about him.
"You are polite to Mr. Wang."
After saying this, the two of them suddenly stopped talking and looked at each other.
One is speculating on the other party’s purpose.
One is thinking about the relationship between Tang Fan and the other party.
