Early the next morning, the two envoys from Liao got up early and blocked Su Jin's door at dawn. Su Jin had just gotten up and hadn't finished washing when he heard the noise of birds outside.
Xiao Sui'er listened to the turmoil between Su Jin and Rou Niang Huan Niang all night last night. She was unhappy with her black eyes. When she heard the noise outside, she walked out of the inner hall with her hands on her hips. As soon as she saw Xiao Temo
When they were blocked by servants at the door, they stepped forward and scolded: "You Liao people are really like scoundrels. You blocked the door early in the morning and made noisy noises, just like a group of old birds. Do you still understand human etiquette?"
?”
Xiao Temo was scolded by a little girl for no reason. Monk Zhang Er was confused. Fortunately, Xiao Temo was in a good mood. Last night he had a beautiful dream of getting promoted, getting rich, and becoming a general. Naturally, he would not follow this little girl.
The maid had common sense, and with a smile on her face, she stepped forward and cupped her hands and said: "My dear lady, please don't be angry. Please obey the authority when urgent matters arise. We don't want to do this either. Please inform Mr. Su of your family that military and national affairs cannot be delayed."
Xiao Sui'er muttered: "I don't care about your military affairs. My young master hasn't washed his face and eaten yet, so how can he see you?"
Xiao Temo smiled apologetically and said, "I can wait in the courtyard until your young master is done with his work and comes to see us."
She stretched out her hand to avoid hitting the smiling person. Xiao Sui'er wanted to provoke her, but she had no choice but to be greeted with a smile. She was a little girl after all, so she didn't dare to block her too much. The unknown fire in her heart vented a lot and became much calmer. She stood with eyes wide open for a long time and said:
"In that case, please come and sit in the flower hall. My son-in-law doesn't know when he will come out; he still has to run and exercise in the back house, and then he has to have breakfast, shower and change clothes."
Xiao Temo raised his hands repeatedly and said: "It doesn't matter, little lady, you can do what you want, just bring a stool for me to sit in the yard. There is no need to go into the flower hall to bother me. I bought some cooking cakes on the street, just for a moment."
A cup of tea and water will quench your thirst."
Xiao Sui'er was very puzzled. It's not that the Liao envoys were arrogant and overbearing and had a gentler temper than sheep. Could it be that after drinking the water of the Song Dynasty and eating the rice of the Song Dynasty for a few days, people had changed their nature?
?Of course Xiao Sui'er has to satisfy such a small request. After all, she is a kind-hearted little girl. She has never seen Xiao Temo commit evil and murder with her own eyes, so she can't harden her heart, so she said: "It's better to go into the hall.
Drink tea, otherwise my young master will blame the slave family for not treating guests well."
"Oh, the young lady is really a virtuous and reasonable person, and she will definitely be rich and prosperous in the future. I wish the young lady to find a rich husband and live a happy life." Liu Liufu stepped forward, holding Asan's head and interjected.
He thought his two sentences were very appropriate, but he didn't expect Xiao Sui'er's face to change immediately. He had just spent the night in bed last night, and he was almost forgotten by the young master, but this guy actually mentioned something about being a good husband.
How can you not be annoyed if you say something like that?
"You can just stay in the courtyard. There are no stools. There is a stone flower bed over there and you can sit wherever you want. The tea hasn't boiled yet. There is clean well water in the water tank over there. You can drink it if you like or not.
Wait, I still have a lot of things to do, so I'm sorry."
Xiao Sui'er said a few words coldly and turned around to leave. Xiao Temo and Liu Liufu looked at each other in astonishment. Is this girl a dog? If they fall out, they will fall out; those who know the identity will naturally know that she is the maid of the Su family.
, those who didn’t know thought she was the mistress of the Su family. Her behavior and temper were just like a little firecracker.
"It doesn't matter. I am happy today and won't argue with this yellow-haired girl. When I lead the army south to flatten Bianliang in the future, unless I can't catch you, if you fall into my hands, I will kill you first and then kill you."
Come on!" Xiao Te did not change his face and comforted himself; as long as the firearm manufacturing diagram is sent back to Daliao, Daliao has sufficient iron ore, and it will take less than half a year to equip the army in batches. By then, I will worry about whether he will be able to say this.
go?
At the end of Xiao Temo, Liu Liufu actually entered the yard with four of the ten tigers of the Xiao family. He squatted by the flower bed and took out the cooking cakes he bought on the way and munched them.
Looked dumbfounded.
After eating five pieces of cooking cakes, Xiao Temo let out a full burp and felt thirsty. Seeing that the Su family had no intention of coming to deliver tea, he actually ran to the large water tank filled with water under the courtyard wall and leaned down.
I drank a lot and was full; fortunately, the water there was clean well water. It was originally used to prevent fires in the house and was used to put out fires, but no one made any dirt in it.
Looking at the strange looks around him, Xiao Temo comforted himself. When he was herding horses and sheep on the grassland, he said that it was clean well water. Even the sewage stained by sheep excrement and eggs could be drunk. What is this? Food.
Only after suffering a lot can one become a master. The reason for forbearing today is to make him proud in the future, so he lets Su Jin humiliate himself a little more, and he will be rewarded twice as much in the future, no! Ten times a thousand times more.
"Oh! Isn't this Mr. Xiao? Why are you squatting on the ground in the courtyard? How unbecoming is this?" Before Xiao Temo wiped off the water stains around his mouth, he heard Su Jin's voice coming from the hall door, and in the blink of an eye he heard Su Jin's voice coming from the hall door.
When I looked at it, I saw that Su Jin was neatly groomed and walked over with a smile on her face.
"How do you people treat guests? Ambassador Xiao is a distinguished guest from the Liao Kingdom. Have you forgotten all the hospitality skills I taught you on a daily basis? As a punishment, you are all not allowed to eat today;
This is outrageous!" Su Jin cursed at the Su family's handyman who was standing by and watching.
Everyone was so aggrieved that they thought to themselves: Who dares not to listen to what that girl Xiao Sui'er said? It's good. We'll all bear it for her. If we can, we'll bear it. It's better not to mess with that girl Nainai.
Xiao Temo hurriedly stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "Oh, Mr. Su, I see you here. It's because I don't know the rules and the rules of your Song Dynasty, so I came here early in the morning to disturb you and don't interfere with the affairs of the brothers in your mansion."
Besides, when I was waiting in Daliao, it was a common thing to eat and drink under the vast sky, so this was nothing."
Su Jin looked guilty and said: "This is really neglectful. Hurry up and go into the room to talk." He turned to the servants on the steps and shouted: "Why are you all standing there? Hurry up and serve snacks and make tea to entertain the guests.
They are just like lumps of elm wood; if Master Xiao had not been generous today, I would not have spared you."
Everyone rolled their eyes and hurriedly dispersed. Su Jin introduced Xiao Temo and Liu Liufu into the hall. After a while, some delicious snacks were served and tea was served. Xiao Temo regretted why he caught the tasteless cooking cakes.
After eating four or five, I drank a lot of cold water. At this moment, the cold water instant noodles were swollen in my stomach, and there was a faint tendency to bubble up. I couldn't take another bite.
Liu Liufu had a good appetite. He only ate half of the cake and did not want to drink the cold water in the vat. At this moment, he happened to eat three or four hot tea, osmanthus and lotus paste cakes in one go, and his mouth clicked; he was so angry.
Xiao Temo suddenly raised his foot and stepped on his foot, which almost made Liu Liufu cry from the pain.
Su Jin stared intently at the white cloth wrapped around Liu Liufu's head for a while, then he cupped his hands and said, "Deputy Ambassador Liu, have you forgotten your relatives at home? Please express your condolences and accept the change."
Liu Liufu touched Xiao Temo's face with a mouthful of snacks, and his face was all muddy. He was so frightened that he quickly stretched out his hand to help Xiao Temo wipe it. Xiao Temo cursed: "What are you doing? Are you reincarnated as a starving ghost? Damn it,
It stinks."
Liu Liufu apologized profusely, and Su Jinwu said to himself: "Master Xiao, please don't blame him. The death of a family member will naturally lead to a lack of evidence. As the saying goes: turning grief into food, this refers to Deputy Commander Liu's state at this time."
Liu Liufu took a big sip of tea, gargled the residue in his mouth and swallowed it, and said hurriedly: "Master Su, please stop joking. I don't have any relatives in my family who have died."
Su Jin said in astonishment: "No? Looking at the way you are wearing sackcloth and mourning, could it be that your father or your father has passed away?"
Liu Liufu cursed Su Jin for his wickedness, but he made up an excuse, saying that he accidentally fell when he got into the car and his head was bleeding, so he wrapped Yun Yun with a white step.
Su Jin suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and confessed again and again.
Xiao Temo found it funny and laughed so hard that he was shaking all over. Su Jin looked at Xiao Temo and said, "Master Xiao is in a very good mood today. People feel refreshed when happy events happen. Is there any happy event?"
Xiao Temo waved his hands hurriedly and said: "What happy event can I have? Yesterday I came to your house to look for you. I said you went to the theater. Mr. Su was really in a good mood. We couldn't sleep all night long because of the negotiations.
, Mr. Su is quite relaxed and at ease."
Su Jin chuckled and said: "Combining work and rest, I did go to listen to an actor's music yesterday. I came back in the evening. I heard from my maid that the two of them had been here. I even scolded the maid, why didn't you go?
Find me."
Xiao Te finally thought to himself: You are still pretending!
"Have you heard Miss Song from Red Sleeve Moves singing?" Xiao Temo said with a smile.
"Red-sleeved moves?" Su Jin said in astonishment: "We can't go to that kind of fireworks place. I went to Queyunfang to listen to Miss Su singing. Miss Su is a serious person. She relies on her voice.
Let’s eat, what Song Xiaoxiao is here?”
Xiao Temo rolled his eyes and said, "Damn! It turned out to be Su Xiaoxiao. I misheard him. He thought it was Song Xiaoxiao. He followed the picture to find Ji Yuan. Where the hell can he reason with me?"
But Su Jin asked: "How did you two know that Bianliang has a red-sleeved trick? It turns out that you two are romantics, not bad, not bad. Are you a good person from the brothel of the Song Dynasty?"
Xiao Temo and Liu Liufu were sweating profusely and were beaten up by others. How could it not be wonderful?
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding. We don't have time to do anything red-sleeved. It's just hearsay. Mr. Su, please don't misunderstand me. I think we should get to the point. I came here today to ask Mr. Su to quickly restart the negotiations between the two countries.
Time waits for no one, I have already been in your capital for six days, and I will leave for home in three or four days, and up to now I haven't even discussed a single thing."
Su Jin waved his hand and said: "What are you busy with? There are still three or four days left. The worst thing is that you can postpone your return for a few more days. I am planning to invite you to visit Bianliang City today to show your friendship as a landlord."
Xiao Te finally said seriously: "Deputy Ambassador Su, we can't afford to delay. It's more serious to do business first. If the business is not done, how can I have the time to have fun."
Su Jin said with a smile: "I really admire the two of you for your dedication to your duties. Well, let's just do our business first."
Xiao Temo was overjoyed and said: "Very good, go to Guanyi or somewhere else? Do you want to send someone to invite the rich owner's envoy?"
Su Jin laughed and said, "Why are you so anxious? Can't we start talking tomorrow?"
"Why do we have to do it in the morning?" Xiao Temo asked with a face.
"Because..." Su Jin smacked his lips and said, "I just turned over the almanac. Today is February 14th. The almanac clearly says 'It is forbidden to discuss, negotiate or trade anything'; we cannot violate the taboo, so
There must be no negotiation today, otherwise I cannot afford to offend the gods."
