"What do you want to eat?" The maid's voice interrupted Yao Chong's thoughts. He said, "Is there a dish for slaughtering pigs?"
"What a coincidence. Today's dish for slaughtering pigs is on a special price. It only costs a handful." The maid said with a smile as if she was happy with him.
Yao Chong, "…"
He didn't want to laugh at all. He didn't believe it. What coincidence? I asked if other guarantees were also coincidental, right?
"Just the dish for slaughtering pigs. Call your manager here." Yao Chong wanted to find someone to ask.
"Wait a moment." The maid gave Yao Chong a sweet smile and left.
Not long after, Xiaoyun, the "big shot" in Nanqu, came with a plate in person.
She put it on the table and removed the earthenware pot for slaughtering pigs. There were also spicy cabbage, cucumber with garlic, sea cabbage with onion slices, and coriander oysters.
In addition, there was a bundle of fifty-degree liquor and two sets of tableware.
The maid took the plate away from behind, and Xiaoyun sat down.
"Xiaoyun, are you on duty today?" Yao Chong asked. He knew her, not only in Heavenly World, but also in Pyong Kang Square.
"Yes, it's me." Xiaoyun said as she scooped garlic sauce for Yao Chong.
Yao Chong sat up straight. He didn't dare to despise Xiaoyun. He didn't think he could crush her when it came to poetry, essays, scriptures, and books.
If it was a competition of zither, song and dance, he would be crushed.
Among them, the "big shot" referred to the drinking game. This kind of "big shot" led everyone to liven up the atmosphere.
"Do you feel wronged to work in Heavenly World?" Yao Chong didn't know why he asked such a question.
Xiaoyun bit her lips and rolled her eyes. She looked delicate and charming, and then nodded gently: "When I first came here, it was just like what you said."
Her simple movement and voice caused Yao Chong, who was already so old, to feel his heart tremble.
Fortunately, Yao Chong knew that this was a normal operation and could not be interpreted in depth.
So he naturally followed the conversation and asked, "What about now?"
"Now? Now, he was even more resentful. If only life was like the first time we met. "
Xiaoyun blinked her eyes and spoke in a low voice, making people feel pity for her.
Yao Chong wanted to ask why, but he held himself back.
Xiaoyun didn't take it seriously and said, "The Heavenly World is Li Dongzhu's shop. I haven't seen him since he came here that day. It's really easy to say goodbye but difficult to see again."
Yao Chong closed his eyes. Just now, he actually had the impulse to go to the Li Family Zhuangzi and drag Li Yi over.
It was too scary. Xiaoyun was not so powerful when he saw her in the past.
With a single sentence, it was easy to say goodbye, but difficult to meet again. Immediately, he started to think about the future. Flowing water, flowers, spring, and heaven on earth.
That was a feeling of using the power of auxiliary words to affect people's mood.
"This glass, this position, and this pig slaughtering dish at a special price. How can you eat these four side dishes in one go? The spicy cabbage can't be found anywhere in the whole Tang dynasty except in the hands of Li Yi. "
Yao Chong didn't want to be disturbed, so he said in a low voice.
"They are all prepared for Boss Yao. When we knew that Boss Yao had a membership card, we immediately sent someone to tell Dongzhu. Dongzhu ordered people to send these and asked us to try to charge less money from Boss Yao."
Xiaoyun held the wine bouquet in one hand and the other hand, whispered to Yao Chong and winked, showing a mischievous look.
"Did he say why?" Yao Chong controlled himself and didn't want to fall into her trap.
Xiaoyun poured wine for them and put down the wine bouquet.
"It's difficult to be in a high position. It's difficult to satisfy people's desires. It's difficult to satisfy people's desires. It's normal to fall into the abyss forever.
Dongzhu knows that you came here with a membership card from someone else. He's afraid that you'll ask for more money after the card runs out.
You're the Prime Minister's assistant. Who dares to punish you? The more you want, the more you want. Even your family wants it.
In the long run, can you still turn back? At that time, you won't know that you're a guest in a dream. "
Xiaoyun's face was tranquil. She didn't look as charming as before. Her voice was soft, but it was less tender.
Her eyes were clear as she looked at Yao Chong quietly.
Yao Chong was completely stunned. So that's how it is.
Li Yi knew that he could save a seat and reduce the price by taking a membership card from someone else so that he could afford to eat. In this way, he didn't have to ask for bribes.
He could also recharge money for every meal.
Even when he needed to recharge money, the special price would be 10 copper coins per meal.
"Thank you for your advice." Yao Chong raised his hand and made a fist salute.
Xiaoyun stood up and returned the salute. She said, "This glass is also specially prepared for you. Through it, you can do righteous things. Through it, you can see the suffering of the people."
With that, Xiaoyun picked up the wine cup with both hands. She raised her head and drank it all.
Yao Chong hurriedly raised his cup and drank it.
The smell of the wine rushed and he was suddenly out of breath. He took a long breath and slowly exhaled.
Then he looked at Xiaoyun and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I'll find an excuse to punish you?"
"I was sold when I was young. I don't know my family and have no worries. If I can persuade you, it's worth it even if I die. "Xiaoyun raised her chin and said proudly.
Yao Chong was shocked. He wanted to raise his hand. He was afraid that Xiaoyun would jump down after saying that.
As a result …
Xiaoyun suddenly stuck out her tongue and smiled shyly. "Of course, I still know that His Majesty has a share in Heavenly Earth and the face of the Fifth Prince. Boss Yao won't do anything to me."
Yao Chong, "…"
He pretended to be angry. "What if I do? I'll take revenge for the smallest grievance. "
"Dongzhu isn't. My family's Dongzhu is the prime minister. He's magnanimous and wins people over with virtue. Even if Steward Song De is bullied, he won't dare to stand up for him."
Xiaoyun said with a smile.
Yao Chong suddenly trembled. He admitted that he was more afraid of that young man, Dongzhu.
That young man was evil and had a black heart.
What did she mean by 'Steward Song De is bullied and didn't dare to stand up for him'? What did Steward Liang and the others have experienced?
And Steward Yu, even now, still couldn't enter Pyong Kang Square.
"You girl … why aren't you pouring wine for this old man!" Yao Chong pointed at Xiaoyun and pretended to be angry.
"Boss Yao, please forgive me." Xiaoyun poured wine for the two people again.
Then she turned sideways and opened the satchel that Li Yi gave her and all the women in Heavenly Earth.
She took out a small wooden box and put it on the table.
"Dongzhu Yao, this is what the people in the palace told me to give you when I met you when they came to eat." Xiaoyun pointed at the beautiful wooden box.
Yao Chong directly took it and opened it. He leaned back and looked at it carefully. He whispered, "This mirror?"
He knew that Empress Wang had a lot of mirrors, big and small. They were all given by Li Yi. Li Yi wouldn't give them to anyone else.
Xiaoyun held up the cup again. "It can be seen that the clothes are upright and the heart is sincere. Looking at the affairs of the palace, there should be no competition since ancient times. "
When Yao Chong heard this, the hand holding the mirror trembled slightly.
He understood that the Empress knew something, so she wanted to stop it. She had arranged a backup plan many days ago.
Today or in the next few days, even if he didn't go to Heavenly Earth, he would have other opportunities to meet a mirror.
This mirror didn't just mean that the clothes were upright and the heart was sincere.
Wei Zheng, ah, spoke bluntly and was tolerated by Taizong.
But after death …
And looking at the affairs of the palace, it was talking about the problem of Empress Zhangsun's tomb that Wei Zheng said.
Now it seemed that Empress Wang was telling him not to interfere. Be careful not to say too much and end up like Wei Zheng.
Yao Chong thought about His Majesty's response to the crown prince today. He sighed secretly and put away the mirror.
