Chapter 223: Catch the wind and wash the dust
"This, sir, there are only these breakfasts in the inn. This adult's breakfast is not provided by the inn, it should be bought outside." The guy had no choice but to do it like this. If you want to eat good food, you either buy it yourself or give it money. I can't let me pay for it.
"I can't buy it on the street. This is from the Marquis of Zhenhai. I went out for a walk in the morning and met the Marquis. I would like to give it to me two." Eunuch Gao finished eating half of the bun in one bite, picked up the other one and took it one bite first. With this person's character, he might rob it directly. Only those who have bitten it can feel at ease.
"Tsk, what's so rare? You can eat a little bit of silver until you're overwhelmed. Look at you." Dou Yi shook his head, tore the steamed buns apart, grabbed some pickles and put them in the middle, and it tasted similar to buns.
"The Marquis said that we welcome us at the governor's mansion tonight. Will you go?" Eunuch Gao was not fooled. This is the Marquis' own breakfast, and it is a great honor to be given half of it. Besides, I gave a big gift before.
"Go, of course I have to go. This time I come, mainly to communicate with the Marquis." Dou Yi came here with a mission, so he naturally wanted to see Sun Yu. But he was a great scholar from the Sect Master, so why did he have to wait for his summons? It seems that the etiquette is wrong.
"Where will Lord Dou go after breakfast?" Eunuch Gao stuffed all the last buns into his mouth, and the corners of his mouth were oily and watery. He wiped it with his hands, which was so bright.
"Let's go around the streets and see the customs and customs in the city." Dou Yi finished eating the steamed buns and peeled off the eggs. Although there were no meat buns, the food was also good. The ordinary inn inns in the Song Dynasty was really not as good as that.
"Our family is free, so why not go with Lord Dou to take a look." Although he was cheated yesterday, Eunuch Gao felt that he had to follow him and act as Sun Yu's eyes and ears. After all, he could not accept gifts for nothing, which would break the rules.
Jianpu City in the sun is not very lively, but it is orderly. Dou Yi was not very interested in the shops on both sides, so he walked along the street to the city, and was about to reach the gate of the city.
"Sir Dou, are you going to leave the city?" Eunuch Gao grabbed Dou Yi. It doesn't matter if he goes around the city. If he leaves the city, he must say something to Sun Yu.
"No, it's mainly to take a look, just look at the city gate." Dou Yi suffered a loss yesterday and decided to take a look at the rules of Jianpu City first. If he was punished again in broad daylight, it would be embarrassing. Besides, Eunuch Gao has experience, he probably won't take the blame for himself anymore.
"All people entering the city must abide by the following rules: 1. Easy to go to the public toilet, no urination or defecation, 2. No trash must be discarded at will, please put the garbage in the trash can, 3. No sacrificial bath or wash feet in the canal, ..." There are more than 20 items in total, basically involving all aspects of life, which is considered to be outside the laws of the government, and has higher requirements for the quality of the people.
"It is not a good thing to oppress the people too much. All people should be educated, not restrained." Dou Yi thought that Jianpu City was very clean, but he did not expect that it would be forced by high-pressure policies. The so-called extremes of things will turn back, but we must start with education and make the people willing from the bottom of our hearts.
"Well, Lord Dou, you are a Grand Secretary, and you are considered a person who carries out education. But even you have been fined. This matter is probably not easy to educate, so you have to set rules clearly." Eunuch Gao sneered. The so-called education is in the hands of you great scholars, and you can even urinate and defecate anywhere, which can lead to nothing.
"Well, Eunuch Gao's words are wrong. I didn't know about it last night, but I will not make any more mistakes now." Dou Yi looked embarrassed and turned around and walked into the city. Eunuch Gao didn't open the pot.
Dou Yi walked around but couldn't see anything different. Except for the workshop where women worked, this was relatively rare. Dou Yi wanted to go in and take a look, but was stopped by the guards.
"Women's workshop, man stop!" The old woman, who was also wearing a red armband, pointed to the sign hanging at the door and signaled them to leave quickly.
Dou Yi didn't even want to defend himself, so he turned around and left. Now he saw the person wearing the red armband, and he felt a little scared. Lord Sun was really so he didn't send anyone to accompany him, which made them uncomfortable everywhere.
"Sir Dou, why are you walking so fast?" Eunuch Gao saw Dou Yi being turned away and felt relieved. He deliberately took a few quick steps and asked loudly.
"Well, as a man, I can't get in, so what can I do?" Dou Yi specially emphasized the tone on the word "male", meaning that Eunuch Gao is not a man, so he can get in.
"Since that's the case, we'll go to the restaurant for dinner, it's almost noon." Eunuch Gao seemed to have not heard it, and directly pulled Dou Yi to the restaurant. If you can't tell me, I'll kill you.
Dou Yi wanted to say silence, but he couldn't stand the enthusiasm of Eunuch Gao. In addition, the wine worm in his stomach was caught, so he had to go to the restaurant with him.
"Oh, two guests, please come upstairs." The shopkeeper's eyes were so bright. These two were obviously rich. They were wearing excellent silk, and compared to ordinary linen, the price was so high.
Going to the second floor, the entourage guards set up a table at the door of the elegant seat, and Eunuch Gao and Dou Yi were at the same table.
"Shopkeeper, come two pounds of Feitian and get a few special dishes. Just put a few special dishes on the table outside." As soon as Eunuch Gao sat down, he told the shopkeeper's instructions. It would be fine if he and Dou Yi drank it like nothing, but these guards and entourages were not good, otherwise someone would carry Dou Yi back in a while.
"Eunuch Gao, I am unhappy. Lord Sun, I am too lazy. You represent the king of the country. Can you bear this tone?" Dou Yi was still a little sober, thinking about getting a little bit of apart before talking about it, maybe he could find some breath.
"The Marquis is busy with noble people. Our family is idle anyway. The task is to accompany Lord Dou, which is not in the way." Eunuch Gao sniffed his mouth and said with a smile. People have prepared generous gifts for them, but you don't know. How can this be considered negligent? If everyone in the world is so negligent, Eunuch Gao will wake up in a dream. If you really want to say negligent, then you, Lord Dou, are just negligent.
"Eunuch Gao, you are really extraordinary. You have a broad mind. Come and drink one!" Dou Yi, who is a man with average alcohol tolerance, but he is quite generous in drinking and never cheats. Therefore, he gets drunk more times than ordinary people.
......
"Come on, carry Lord Dou back." Eunuch Gao saw Dou Yi lying on the table and stopped moving. He pushed him with his hands, and wanted to give him two more cups, but he did not respond at all and could only give up.
The Grand Grand Secretary of the Song Dynasty was carried by two followers and walked back to the inn. If Dou Yi could see the scene in front of him, I wonder if he would quit drinking from now on. The main reason was that Dou Yi himself said he wanted to take a walk in the morning, but the carriage was parked in the inn and did not move.
At sunset, a luxurious carriage parked at the entrance of the inn, with several guards in front and behind. It was Sun Yu who sent to pick up Dou Yi and Eunuch Gao to the banquet.
"Eunuch Gao, I am here to pick up the two of you at the banquet at the order of the marquis." Xu Yi got off the carriage and bowed to Eunuch Gao. He was the governor and came to pick him up in person. This face was enough.
"Mr. Xu, the envoy of the Song Dynasty, Lord Dou, is still resting. Feitian wine is very good. I drank a little too much at noon, so please forgive me." Eunuch Gao said with a smile. He was well fed at noon and was still asleep.
"It's too ridiculous. The marquis actually celebrates the guests.
So negligent." Xu Yi knew it in his heart, but he had to say so loudly and spread it out so that the people could know the true face of the Song Dynasty.
"Well, Lord Xu is here to wait, I'll go and urge you." Eunuch Gao nodded, waved to the two followers, and signaled to go in with him.
After half a stick of incense, Eunuch Gao walked in front, and two guards behind him carried Dou Yi. Under the surprised gaze of the onlookers, Dou Yi was carried into the carriage. The waiter in the inn was standing among the crowd to explain that the person being carried was a distinguished guest invited by the Grand Secretary from the Song Dynasty, the Marquis of Zhenhai and the governor of the Zhongyong Army, Lord Sun, tonight.
The onlookers shook their heads. The Grand Secretary of the Song Dynasty was so virtuous that he didn't even have basic etiquette, which was simply unsightly.
"It's him, who was urinating and defecating everywhere last night. I was fined fifty cents and asked someone to take the blame." The aunt who issued a ticket to Dou Yi last night joined in the fun in the crowd. Suddenly, she felt a little familiar. When she saw Eunuch Gao, it was the ones yesterday, and immediately started to explain.
Eunuch Gao was so excited that he was about to cry. Oh my god, he finally took away his pot. Now, everyone knows that the fine notes that were urinating and defecating everywhere were the envoys of the Song Dynasty. The guards touched their chests. This was confirmed. If the official could record it, the notes would be valuable.
Amid the discussions of the people around, the carriage slowly set off on the road. Xu Yi and Eunuch Gao sat on the outside, leaving Dou Yi lying on the inside alone. The carriage was really comfortable. It was much lighter than the ordinary carriage, but it shaked, making Eunuch Gao feel like he was about to fall asleep.
Dou Yi twisted his neck and felt so good today.
"I've been stolen for half a day in my life, Lord Dou, I'm so happy!"
Just when Dou Yi was thinking about whether to continue sleeping or getting up, a voice came into his ears, which was very strange, but the sound was very young.
"Are you?" Dou Yi opened his eyes and saw a young man staring at him with a sharp eyebrows and a smile on his face.
"I am the governor of the Loyal and Brave Army, Sun Yu, the Marquis of Zhenhai, here tonight to welcome the Grand Secretary." Sun Yu bowed and bowed. This Grand Master Gao was cruel enough to drink this person. He was a grand Grand Secretary with a disheveled head and a dirty face, no different from a beggar.
"Oh, how dare you come here to greet the marquis. How lucky is this official?" Dou Yi thought he was still in the inn, and the marquis wanted to come to invite him in the room. It was so decent to spread this.
"Well, Lord Dou, this is in the governor's mansion, not the inn." Eunuch Gao stood behind Sun Yu and almost laughed out loud. Dou Yi has not noticed any abnormality yet.
"What?" Dou Yi was stunned and quickly looked around. He was actually sleeping in a carriage, not in the guest room of the inn.
"Mr. Dou, when the official went to invite you, I saw that you were sleeping soundly. Eunuch Gao couldn't bear to wake you up and said that you would sleep for a while." Xu Yi walked up and bowed to Dou Yi and said, "This person is really big."
"I have lost my manners, sorry!" Dou Yi shook his head, woke up a little, finally figured out the situation, quickly dismounted and said to Sun Yu.
"It's okay, should Lord Dou clean it first, or go to the table directly?" Sun Yu waved his hand. As long as you want, it would be better to do this every day. If you can bring the one on the emperor's throne so much, that would be great.
"Then let's clean it first, please wait a moment." Dou Yi remembered that he had some serious work, so it would be better to be more sober.
