Chapter 20 19

In April of the first year of Suiyuan, General Wei Sima Feng brought school lieutenants Sima Tong and Xie Qing to Daijun to replace Gu Yan who was about to become the former sheriff.

Xie Qing didn't recover from that strange encounter until he left, and his attitude towards Zhao Yanzhi has always been strict, with more than respect and not enough intimacy.Because Zhao Yanzhi was wronged, he has been listlessly paying attention, and quietly took care of Xie Qing's "luggage".

To some extent, Xie Qing is actually a rich and noble son worthy of the name.As for the matter of not knowing how long it would take to go to Daijun, he thought very simply, as can be seen from the luggage he packed for himself: a small bag of change of clothes, and two boxes of bamboo slips.

Xie Qing moved out from Xie's house after becoming crowned crown, there is no hostess in his house, so he has to take care of everything by himself.Mr. Xie thought about it, and came to the conclusion: this trip will be a bit more difficult along the way, and it will be fine when you arrive in Daijun. I will definitely be able to buy the one I like, not to mention that my own book has my own experience notes, it is really the only one.Streamlining and streamlining, only brought the most practical and favorite things, packed out two big boxes.

Zhao Yanzhi was simply overwhelmed.Although Xie Qing is easy-going, he is not at all easy-going when it comes to food and clothing.Xie’s century-old family, even if he doesn’t pay attention to him, there is absolutely no reason for the eldest son to suffer from food and clothing; when he was a little older, he was a prince’s companion until now. How elegant and exquisite.

Mr. Xie's clothes don't need expensive materials but they must be comfortable to wear, the styles don't need to be gorgeous but they must look elegant, and don't wear them if you don't have incense or if you smell the wrong incense.Xie Qing is a master at pouring spices. The incense he gave himself is called Qingshan, the ingredients are complicated, and the taste is light but attractive; and he has a very good nose, as long as the fragrance is adjusted wrongly, the clothes that are smoked will definitely not be worn. .

Mr. Xie is very picky.There are too many taboos to enumerate.What's more, even if the food used for cooking accidentally touches the ingredients he doesn't eat, he can tell that the taste is wrong.Then, naturally, he put down his chopsticks and stopped eating.

In addition, pine trees must be planted on the windows of the residence, and rosin must be smelled in all seasons; although drinking tea is a cow drink, it must be brewed with years of snow water; in summer, the ice container must be lotus leaves, otherwise I would rather die of heat Needless to say, "eccentricity" and so on, if you really want to talk about it, you are three points more delicate than Zhao Yanzhi.

Therefore, it is conceivable that when Zhao Yanzhi saw Xie Qing's simple packing that could no longer be simpler, it took a lot of effort to resist not rolling his eyes at him.

The luggage that Zhao Yanzhi packed for Xie Qing was much more practical.In addition to his daily clothes for four seasons, there is also a special box of spices and a waiter who has been mixing spices for him; in addition to snacks made according to his taste, there are four usual cooks; The two sets of Liubo chess made of jade, the favorite Jinbo mountain stove, the Guqin Jiaowei that is often played, and the special piano boy are all there.In addition to the four most useful attendants, Han Zhang, Zhao Chengchu's disciple, and Xin Wan, who is beside Zhao Yanzhi, were planned to accompany him.

Seeing Xie Qing staring dumbfounded at the pile of things and people lined up that filled half the yard, Zhao Yanzhi, who was afraid that Xie Qing would be wronged in the slightest and wished to move the entire Guangming Palace away, smiled complacently.

The first thing Xie Qing did when he came back to his senses was to protest dumbfoundingly: "Your Majesty, although Dai County is not as good as Chang'an, it doesn't mean that there is nothing there. I can just buy what I need. Besides, I am going to guard the border. It’s not going to settle down, what’s it like to bring so many things?”

Zhao Yan only thought that you would never want to settle there. If you are not in charge of the family, you don't know how expensive it is, Mr. Xie really doesn't know how difficult it is to serve him!His Majesty the Emperor patiently refuted Xie Qing's remarks in terms of food and clothing, and finally came to a conclusion: "Huaifang, it's not that I have to bring you these things, it's that you are too picky."

Xie Qing was speechless, but at the same time was a little moved in his heart.Xie Qing never told Zhao Yan only what he liked, but he knew it all; how much effort did it take to understand the details of daily life better than himself?

He suddenly felt that Zhao Yan only raised a male favorite who looked somewhat similar to himself. Even if he didn't respect him, how could it be worth being awkward for so many days?

But it's absolutely not okay to bring so much luggage!

Under the mediation of both parties and Gu Shenxing's mediation, the luggage that Xie Qing decided to bring changed from twenty cars to six cars; except for Xin Wan and Han Zhang, he only brought two waiters and two cooks with him.

Even so, Xie Qing was laughed at by Sima Tong the whole way.

The day before Xie Qing left, Zhao Yanzhi held a small banquet for Xie Qing to farewell.There were only the two of them together with Zhao Wangzhi and Gu Shenxing at the dinner.During the period, Xie later toasted Xie Qing with a glass of wine, and the circles of his eyes were a little red.Xie Qing was complacent and coaxed again, and repeatedly promised to bring her exquisite gadgets when returning to Chang'an, which would be considered good.

Gu Shenxing sighed: "After all, brothers and sisters are by nature. Although Huaifang and his family are not very close, they treat this sister really well."

Xie Xiang has been married to Zhao Yanzhi since he was eight years old, and he is the only elder brother by his side.Zhao Yanzhi is a child himself, so it is impossible for him to have much patience with his eight-year-old wife.Xie Qing is different, anyway, one is coaxing and two are leading, Zhao Yanzhi is much more troublesome than Xie Xiang.Xie Qing's teaching and love for his younger sister can be said to be as conscientious as a father is like a brother, so Xie Xiang has been closest to his elder brother Xie Qing who has no feelings at home over the years.

Gu Shenxing only said "do it well" to Xie Qing, but Zhao Wangzhi chattered about various matters to Xie Qing.

Zhao Wangzhi told Xie Qing: "Dealing with the Daijun guards is different from the Taiping people in Chang'an City. Those people are very rude. Many generals are old with me. Su Anshi He and Shen Buyi were my personal soldiers. Come on, let me tell you about them..."

Zhao Yan only saw them talking happily, the old and the young, and couldn't help but lament that such a thing as fate really couldn't be said.He is connected with his uncle by blood, and he seems to be separated from him, but he has a green eye for Xie Qing.

Xie Qing hadn't been out of Chang'an City for 20 years, he was used to seeing prosperity and prosperity, but he didn't know the hardships of people's livelihood.Dai County is no better than Chang'an, although it is not barren, but in Xie Qing's eyes, it is a real backwater.

He felt ashamed.From a young age, he knew that he was a master of literary and martial arts and the emperor's family, and he has always been a minister of the emperor.Until today, seeing a different world, Fang Fang felt that he was really superficial before.Xie Qing is proficient in the six arts of a gentleman, and is good at the art of maneuvering. In his lifetime, he knows all about serving the king, but he rarely thinks about the common people in the world.The trip to Daijun made Xie Qing truly appreciate the great mind and wisdom of the sages who are compassionate and compassionate, which cannot be taught by even the best teachers, and they are well-done.

But no matter what, the luggage and people that Zhao Yanzhi brought him were really worthless.According to his own bag of clothes and two boxes of letters, he couldn't live in Dai County at all.Among other things, the spices he used for flavoring are not suitable here.

After Xie Qing and his party arrived at Sanggan, they immediately went to see the outgoing prefect Gu Yan without stopping.At this time, the sun is falling, the daytime eclipse has passed, and the afternoon eclipse has not yet arrived, but the pommel horses of this group of people are exhausted, and their stomachs are empty. Xie Qing walked all the way, and his thin body was almost unable to support him. At this time, he was so tired that he was not hungry at all. strength; but Sima Tong was young, strong and energetic, so he would be really hungry.However, Gu Yan was particularly ignorant, even if he didn't even have a polite word to clean up the dust for everyone after the exhaustion of the journey, he couldn't wait to make the handover, as if the fire would burn to the door of their house if they had a meal .

Gu Yan's enthusiasm for resigning is simply jaw-dropping.He didn't seem to have considered whether such resignation would affect his official career. He rushed back like burning his ass, and happily said to Xie Qing: "Huaifang, you don't know, the princes of Daijun The general system is very messed up by Dai Wang. I didn’t know until I came that the county guard still has to rule the army! You say I’m a literati, how can I do this. You guys came too timely, just a few days later , I really can't hold it anymore."

Xie Qing: ...

Xie Qing simply didn't know what to say to him, it was the first time that he really realized that the saying that a tiger father has no dogs and sons is not so reasonable.

In two days, Gu Yan completed the handover procedures as quickly as possible. Even the local officials and generals, including Su Anshi and Shen Buyi, whom Zhao Wangzhi mentioned, met back and forth. The efficiency was so high that Xie Qing Can't help but suspect that he is possessed by his father—whether this person in front of him is Gu Yan who wrote a small box on a bamboo slip and cried to the emperor about how mediocre he is and cannot be qualified for the post of sheriff?He is clearly a capable official!

Probably the first time I met Xie Qing, the image of a disheveled face was too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even in the next few contacts, Xie Qing, no matter how elegant and elegant he was, failed to earn much image for himself.He didn't know it himself, but now he has become the latest talking point of the Daijun garrison.

Qu Changjia: "The new one was appointed captain at a young age. I think he looks like a sick child. Do you think he can fight?"

Sima Yi: "You don't understand that, do you? That's Mr. Xie's family. He's a former companion, and he's very affectionate. What's wrong with being named a school captain?"

Captain Wei Zhi: "Go and work, what nonsense are you talking about here!" Then he said loudly to himself: "But that Colonel Xie is really good-looking! She looks like a sick beauty, and she can't help but look like a sick girl!" I don’t know if our water and soil can support us?”

Qu Changjia: ...

Sima Yi: ...
