Chapter 73 The Situation in the Court [Request for further reading]
Wei Yi also looked at the orange cat in Wei Qing’s arms in surprise, and then looked down at the orange cat lying at his feet.
I was a little stunned for a while.
From the size and appearance of that orange cat, it's really hard to tell the difference from my own orange cat.
If you hadn't looked carefully, you would have thought it was the same cat.
"Here, is this orange cat at home?" Wei Qing was a little confused about whether to laugh or cry.
"Where did you pick it up from?" Wei Yi was also a little surprised.
"I just went out for a trip, and when I came back, I met him at the door of our house. I thought it was our orange cat that ran away!" Wei Qing explained.
I couldn't help but look at the obedient big orange cat in my arms: "I asked why it was so obedient today. It actually came over and let me hold it. It turns out it's not the same cat!" "Don't tell me, they really look alike. They don't know
. He must be a long-lost brother!" Wei Yi looked carefully at the orange cat in Wei Qing's arms and said with a smile.
"But strangely enough, I just went out and saw more than one orange cat on the road. When did there appear to be so many orange cats in this city?" Wei Qing said with some confusion.
"Is it possible that raising orange cats is popular in Qingzhou City?" Wei Yi was also dumbfounded.
Could it be that my luck halo caused a surprise in the orange cat's nest?
Could it be that the first personal armed force he owns is the cat army?
"Then... what should I do with this one? Why not adopt it too!" Wei Qing said looking at the orange cat in her arms.
"Okay, since you have brought it back, let's raise it. It happens to be willing to follow you, and you will be responsible for taking care of it from now on!" Wei Yi said with a smile.
"Well, okay!" Wei Qing smiled widely, then ran out holding the orange cat.
But Wei Yi couldn't help but think about what Wei Qing just said.
It's definitely not normal for so many orange cats to suddenly appear.
But he couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it and continued to write.
At the same time, Guo Pixiu, who was supervising the work in the restaurant, also received news from the housekeeper.
"The prince wants to drink Lansheng wine?" Guo Pixiu was a little surprised.
Because the Zhao Hanqing he knew was not a good drinker.
But he immediately figured it out and couldn't help but slap his forehead: "Look at how busy I am, I even forgot to send some of this Lansheng wine to the Crown Prince to try. The Crown Prince is being unreasonable!" "Talking about learning to sing, prepare
. Carriage, go to Zifu!" Guo Pixiu said.
Guo Pixiu did not go to the brewery to get wine.
After all, the location there is quite remote, so I went around there on purpose to waste time.
The two new wine shops they opened also had Lansheng wine, which happened to be on their way.
So Guo Pixiu went to the wine shop and got a few jars of wine.
I happened to meet Du Shaoling and bought two jars of wine from the wine shop and left.
Guo Pixiu went to the Prince's Mansion, while Du Shaoling took a carriage to the county government office.
After arriving at the Prince's Mansion.
Guo Pixiu first apologized tactfully and explained why he had not sent Lansheng wine to the prince before.
Then there was a lot of flattery and flattery.
But he was interrupted by Zhao Hanqing mid-sentence.
"Don't be nervous. I don't mean to blame you. I really don't like drinking. I just heard that Lansheng wine is on the market again, and it's a winery opened by you, so I asked someone to send you some. I just want to have some tonight
. I'm going back to the palace to visit my grandfather. He likes fine wine very much, so I thought I'd bring him some to try!" Zhao Hanqing said with a smile.
"It turned out that I wanted to give it to the old prince. It's a great honor. If the old prince likes it, just tell me in the future and you can have as much as you want." Guo Pixiu said with a smile.
Zhao Hanqing smiled and said immediately: "By the way, let's stay and have dinner together. We just want to talk to me about your wine shop!"
...
In the East Flower Hall of the county government's house.
Du Shaoling and Su Che were drinking at the same table.
The dishes on the table are very simple, just home-cooked dishes.
"I didn't expect Qingzhou City to have such fine wine. It tastes so good. It's like drinking nectar, with a long aftertaste!" Su Zhe said with a satisfied look on his face.
Ever since Su Che came to Qingzhou City, Du Shaoling would come over every three days.
Let's drink and chat together to relieve the depression in our hearts. Express your worries and dissatisfaction with the current court.
It can also be regarded as the joy of suffering among brothers in distress!
"Yes, I have only drunk this kind of top-notch wine when I was in the capital before. I didn't expect to be able to drink it in Qingzhou City now. It is really a blessing in life!" Du Shaoling looked at the wine in the glass and said with a smile on his face.
"Brother Du, let me toast you again!"
Su Che and Du Shaoling each drank from a small cup.
Then we talked about wine and poetry.
Finally, he mentioned the calligraphy that Du Shaoling gave him last time.
Although there were only two lines of poetry written on that piece of writing, it was so majestic and heroic that Su Che was greatly touched and inspired.
"There will be times when the wind and waves break, and the clouds and sails will sail across the sea. Brother Du's poetic talent really surprised me and admired me. These two poems also inspired me!" Su Zhe said excitedly.
"I'm really ashamed. I didn't write those two lines of poetry. I just borrowed flowers to offer to Buddha. I hope it can bring some encouragement to you!" Du Shaoling said with shame.
"Oh? It wasn't Brother Du who did it. Who was it?" Su Zhe was a little surprised.
"It's a pity that I still don't know who wrote it..." Du Shaoling talked about the origin of those poems.
"So I have always regarded him as a soul confidant and a soul master." Du Shaoling said seriously.
"How could such a masterpiece be buried in the market? It's such a pity, alas -"
Su Zhe couldn't help but think of himself and Du Shaoling again.
Thinking of today's court.
His Majesty is obsessed with cultivating immortality and worshiping immortals. He regards the Celestial Religion as the state religion and places great responsibilities on the people of the Celestial Religion.
Nowadays, more than half of the officials in the court are members of the Heavenly Man Sect.
Most of the rest are people who follow the trend and follow the trend.
The group of demons from the Celestial Being Sect brought trouble to the court and made the entire court a mess.
However, Your Majesty turned a deaf ear and allowed the Heavenly Man Sect to suppress talented people and eliminate dissenters.
As upright as he is, he will not follow the crowd, let alone associate with traitors.
He can only end up being demoted.
If this continues, the court of the Great Yan Dynasty may turn into a temple of the Celestial Being Sect.
"Master, master!" Lu'e's voice brought Su Che's thoughts back to reality.
"Master, the young lady still refuses to eat!" Lu'e stood at the door and said with a worried look on her face.
"If you don't eat, you'll be hungry. You'll be making trouble all day long!" Su Zhe said angrily.
Thinking about his willful daughter, he became angry.
Since he came to Qingzhou City as an official.
There were many merchants and gentry who wanted to curry favor with him, but he refused to give them gifts or money.
Unexpectedly, the cat-hunting notice posted by Su Lingyun attracted these flies again.
There was originally a cat search notice posted, but it was nothing.
However, the address written above is the county government office and the name is Su Lingyun.
The thoughtful man immediately knew that his daughter's cat was missing.
How could those people let go of such an excellent opportunity to please?
So during this period, more than ten or twenty cats were sent to the county government every day.
Su Zhe almost fainted from anger.
I can only scold those people and drive them away.
Then he scolded Su Lingyun again.
He also ordered people to clear all notices of missing cats.
But despite this, some people still came to curry favor with him under the guise of giving away cats, which annoyed him endlessly.
