Manchu traitor, how can you let me be the emperor of the ages

Chapter 53 Heshen's Treat
"He Shen is eating here too?"

After those officials left, Yan Song raised his head and looked at Yan Yi behind him.

"Master, I'll go ask now." Yan Yi trotted all the way to the counter, chatting with the shopkeeper.

There was a wry smile on the face of the shopkeeper of Xinghelou, but finally he confided the truth to Yan Yi.

"My lord, I'm in the mountain and moon room on the third floor with my lord." The long follower came back to report.

Yan Song's eyes lit up slightly, he stood up resolutely, and was about to walk up the stairs.

But as soon as he took two steps, he paused and turned his head to look back at the table.

There were the remaining nine fennel beans, a small piece of thick bread, and half a glass of beauté.

Yan Song turned to look at Yan Yi: "Go ask the shopkeeper for a small bowl, and take these back."

"Yes, master." Yan Yi responded immediately, walking towards the counter in a brisk manner.

Yan Song strode towards the stairs, attracting the attention of the diners downstairs.

"As soon as He Shen was upstairs, Lord Yan went up immediately. Could it be that he wanted to reprimand the treacherous officials?"

"It must be so. An upright official like Mr. Yan must be incompatible with a corrupt official like He Shen!"

"Excuse me, my younger brother has just arrived in the capital, who are you talking about He Shen?"

"He Shen, you don't know? This is the most corrupt official in the world! Anyway, there is absolutely no comparison to a clean official like Lord Yan..."

The diners were talking and elated, but it was a pity that they had to spend money to enter the upstairs seats, but they didn't have the chance to appreciate it.

But the arguments of these people are still effective after all, Mr. Yan straightened his back a little when he went upstairs.

The second floor of Xinghe Building is designed in a hollow ring, and you can directly see the situation in the lobby on the first floor from the fence, but due to the exquisite curved design, diners in the lobby cannot see the situation on the second floor.

The restaurant staff didn't dare to come up to stop him, and Yan Song didn't stay here any longer, but strolled to the third floor of Xinghe Building, which was just like a normal restaurant.

Yan Song walked briskly, and soon found the so-called Shanyuejian.

The plaque of Suanzhi Huang is engraved with the two ancient seal characters of Shanyue. The sound insulation of the gate is very good, but the sound of singing and dancing from inside can still be faintly heard.

There were two guards outside the door. When they saw Mr. Yan approaching, their expression changed immediately.

One person hurriedly opened the door and went in to report the news, while the other greeted him with a smile: "Mr. Yan, I have seen Mr. Yan."

"You know me?" Yan Song frowned at him.

"Miss Yan was joking, the younger one is a servant of the Master's house, the last time Xiang Xiang came over, it was the younger one who led you in." The servant nodded and bowed back.

Yes, this is not the first time Yan Song met He Shen in Xinghe Building, but how many times.

There is no way, the capital is very big, but small, there are always many chance encounters and coincidences.

"Yeah." Yan Song nodded, calmly: "Lead the way."

"Okay, Yan Xiang, come with me!" The boy shouted loudly, reminding the people inside that Yan Xiang was about to come in.

Opening the door of Shanyuejian, what you see is not a table, chairs and food, but a small rockery, which is located on the third floor.

There are lush vegetation and fragrant flowers on it, and there are three dwarf bamboos on the side of the mountain. The bamboo leaves are swaying, and the fragrance is elegant.

However, this rockery does not affect Mr. Yan, I saw that he walked around the rockery from the left side with ease, and came to the outside of the inner compartment.

The song "Picking Mulberries" is sung: "Green willows and red wheels take tin carts. Tourists will leave each other at dusk, wake up and make noise..."

Yan Song pushed open the mahogany horizontal sliding door painted with golden patterns, the sound of silk and bamboo was amplified, and a seductive aroma followed.

As far as the eye can see, it is a table full of meals, flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the water... After being carefully prepared by the top chefs of Xinghe Building, they are placed on the dining table with adults.

On the small stage behind the dinner table, a group of musicians played the pipa and flute in their hands, and the singer danced lightly, babbling and singing beautiful libretto.

"What a coincidence! Prime Minister Yan!"

He Shen got up to greet him, with a bright smile on his face, but secretly complaining in his heart.

Even though they came late on purpose, they didn't expect to meet this old man.

"It's not too coincidental, and my lord."

Yan Song also smiled very easy-going: "I heard that you are on the third floor, so I came here specially to catch up with you."

The two talked and laughed happily, as if the little friction at the court meeting today did not exist.

Yan Song started the conversation with a smile: "I heard that His Majesty entered the palace today and was bestowed with shoulders by His Majesty. The emperor's grace is great."

He Shen laughed dryly: "Mr. Yan's news is very well-informed! But I'm still not as good as Mr. Yan. To be rewarded by His Majesty in Qianyang Palace, the honor is as high as the sky..."

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, but instead of showing sympathy for each other, they looked at each other with disgust.

He Shen looked at Yan Song's wrinkled old face, and was so disgusted that he almost spit out the shad he had just eaten, so scared that he quickly covered his mouth tightly.

Yan Song looked at He Shen's oily pig's head, and felt that his appetite had dropped a bit, so he turned his head immediately, not daring to look any further.

But the nausea returned to his stomach, he just insisted on not leaving, and he had to find a few words to say when he had nothing to say.

He Shen couldn't bear it anymore, knowing that today was destined to end up like this, he had to hold out his hand with a forced smile: "Oh! Look, talking to Prime Minister Yan is like spring breeze, I even forgot to invite Prime Minister Yan to sit down! Prime Minister, please sit down!"

He then directed the servant beside him: "So blind? Hurry up and prepare a pair of chopsticks for Xiang Yan."

"Yes, sir!"

Yan Song's goal has finally been achieved, and looking at He Shen now is not so nauseating.

Of course you can't watch too much.

"Haha, then I would like to thank you and my lord for your hospitality."

Yan Song was talking to He Shen, but his old eyes were looking at the dishes on the table.

Although He Shen was in conflict with each other, there was nothing he could do about this old man who came up for food.

Life is like that, if you can't resist, then enjoy it.

"Enjoy it, Yan Xiang. If it's not enough, I'll let Xinghelou send some over." He Shen had a smile on his face that he didn't know if it was real or not.

"Can you send it again?"

Yan Song raised his head, frowned earnestly and said: "Then it's troublesome, my lord. I saw that the dishes on this table are missing a piece of money fish maw, a piece of three-color fish ball with crab roe, a piece of palace lantern anchovy shrimp, and a piece of meat. Three pieces of spicy duck..."

It was rare for Mr. Yan to be generous, and he ordered four or five dishes in one go, and almost all of them were the most expensive in Xinghe Building.

At the end, he still couldn't forget the authenticity: "These three pieces of spicy duck are still delicacies in my hometown. I haven't seen them for so many years. I never imagined that today, my lord and I can taste this familiar taste again."

He Shen:? ?

Song, are you serious?

"Yan Xiang... Yan Xiang's appetite is really amazing..." He Shen had a stiff smile on his face, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"Haha, if you are still very restrained when you come here to be a guest with Sir He, wouldn't it be a disappointment to Sir He's kindness?" The smile on Yan Song's face came from the heart.
