A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

"Lang Jun, Ermei is going to give birth in the next few days."

Zhuang Laoshi came to report on his work and told the good news by the way.

"Good thing." Shen An had just finished his morning exercise and was stretching. Hearing this, he glanced at Chen Luo beside him and felt that this guy was a little absent-minded, so he said, "Let's go and have a look."

"yes."

Chen Luo ran away in a flash, leaving Yao Lian there secretly feeling sad.

Back then, he was the first to express his love to Zeng Ermei, but in the end it was Chen Luo who "went home with the beauty", which made him extremely melancholy.

Shen An didn't understand why both of them had a crush on Zeng Ermei, and wondered whether Zeng Ermei was really a beauty?

"Huahua..."

Just when he was feeling incredible, Guoguo rushed out.

"Help……"

Lumao, who was squatting by the door, was competing with Huahua. As a result, Huahua became fierce and held it down with one paw. Then the dog opened its mouth, trying to bite it.

Guoguo rushed out, Huahua still held Lu Mao down, but her mouth was closed.

This dog is nice.

Shen An nodded to Wen Xiaozhong who appeared outside, indicating that he didn't need to worry about it.

If a dog dares to show its teeth to its owner, Shen An will throw it up to Zhuangzi to guard the workshop door.

"Don't bite the green fur."

When Guoguo handles conflicts between pets, she usually makes no sense, and Huahua is usually criticized.

Huahua moved her paws away angrily, and the green feather flapped its wings and flew out.

"Huahua, Huahua... bad dog..."

This cheap bird!

Shen An couldn't help but feel that Huahua was pitiful.

But Guoguo touched Huahua's back and muttered: "You are the eldest brother, you have to let Lu Mao go."

After breakfast, Yang Zhuoxue muttered why there was no new content in the Stone Notes, and was still thinking about what happened between Baoyu and Daiyu.

Shen An really didn't want to write anymore, but his wife hugged her son and looked at him with big eyes...

"Okay, okay, let's go and write it now."

He really wanted to change the ending, let Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu get married, and then leave the Jia Mansion to set up their own business. Jia Lian would unify the Jia Mansion and rectify the source...

How about this finale?

Shen An felt good, but felt unhappy.

Lao Jia's family has done a lot of bad things, but they all have a happy ending, which makes me feel uncomfortable!

Or let Lin Daiyu marry someone else?

For example, Jia Yun or something, I think it would be very cool.

But the reader will probably go crazy and come looking for the author and want to beat him to death.

"Lang Jun, that person came again yesterday, and there was also a man who claimed to be the envoy of occupying the city."

Zhuang Laoshi felt that it was time for his husband to work hard, so he sounded more hopeful.

"Please come in...it's not appropriate, let him wait in the front hall for a while."

Shen An said with an upright face: "My husband is going out to discuss important matters with envoys from foreign vassals. I will write the stone record later."

Yang Zhuoxue snorted, her disappointment palpable.

Shen An changed his clothes and went to the front. When he saw the envoy of occupying the city, his smile was particularly sincere.

Yesterday, the envoy sent someone to invite Shen An, but Shen An replied that he was "unavailable." Why did he come in person today?

Zhuang Laoshi felt that this envoy was coming to seek justice, so he watched carefully from the side.

The envoy stood up and fixed his gaze on Shen An, observing the young man who was responsible for negotiating with him.

very young.

His appearance... is just average in the eyes of the messenger, but his eyes are outstanding.

Shen An has a pair of single-lidded eyes, which look very gentle. When paired with other things, they actually look a bit handsome.

A nice young man with a sincere smile.

Champa is far away overseas. To travel to and from the Song Dynasty, you need to take a sea ship to Qiongzhou Island, then to Guangnan East Road, and finally land in Nan'an and cross Meiling to Bianliang.

Moreover, the Champa people didn't care at all about affairs north of the Central Plains. They only cared about whether the Song Dynasty was willing to support some weapons. It would be best if they were willing to send troops.

However, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty were not very good. The people in Champa felt that they would probably be lagging behind if they went there, so they thought it would be best to give them money and weapons.

The messenger's attitude was somewhat calm and calm, which puzzled Shen An.

"This is a private residence, but it's not easy to receive noble envoys. Let's go to Fanlou...Xiao Zhong."

"Mr. Lang, the villain is here."

Shen An ordered: "The envoy has just arrived in Bianliang. It is natural for him to receive the wind and wash away the dust. You go to Fanlou and rent a building."

"yes."

The messenger was a little confused, "Well... I don't dare, it's too expensive."

That's Fan Lou!

One of the symbols of Bianliang City, it is a must-visit place for Internet celebrities to check in in future generations. You actually want to rent out a building to support someone?

"It's just a small thing."

Shen An stood up and invited the envoy to set off.

The two of them were in front, and the entourage was behind. When they arrived at Fanlou, the shopkeeper was already waiting with the guys.

"I've seen Gui Xinhou."

The shopkeeper said happily: "The villain has prepared the ingredients and is waiting for the Lord to order."

As long as Shen An praises the quality of his food, the threshold for turning back will be stepped on.

This is the power of chefs and gourmets.

"this……"

The envoy went in like a country bumpkin, a little helpless and embarrassed.

So luxurious!

Moreover, the guys are all polite and look more elegant than the so-called scholars in middle school.

That's outrageous.

He was a little jealous and felt that the Song Dynasty really had the aura of a heavenly kingdom.

But what about occupying the city?

Champa is an unlucky guy caught between Jiaozhi and Zhenla.

"It's too expensive to convert."

When I saw more than ten large bowls being served with lids on, I couldn't help but twitch my fingers.

"I'm not short of money."

Shen An answered his thanks casually.

Well!

When the money ability was activated, the messenger was a little confused and secretly happy.

Is this a powerful person?

Yes, officials only have salaries, and no matter how rich they are, their salary is limited.

Moreover, it is impossible for the Song Dynasty official to book a building to accommodate him, so this is Shen An's private behavior.

Hao, Youhu?

This was all he had in mind at this moment.

The lid was lifted to reveal some exquisite dishes.

"Taste it."

After finishing the meal, Shen An didn't eat much because he had just eaten breakfast, but the messenger almost wiped the dishes away.

When he realized that he looked ugly when eating, he touched his round belly and explained: "When a certain person was in junior high school, he could eat five kilograms in one meal."

"That's not enough?" Shen An praised: "Good appetite. Come, bring the envoy another leg of lamb. I want it to be fat. If it is not fat, I will not pay for this meal."

The messenger was startled and hurriedly waved his hands and said: "I'm full, I'm full..."

Shen An smiled and said: "Envoys, please don't be polite. This is the Song Dynasty. Everyone knows the name of hospitality. Anyone who is polite will suffer."

The messenger thought that I would be sick if I ate any more, so he forced a smile and said, "I'm really full."

"The messenger said he could eat five pounds..."

Your sister, if you eat five kilograms of food, won’t your little body explode?

The messenger was a head shorter than Shen An, and he dared to say that he could eat five kilograms, which really subverted Shen An's outlook on life.

"Someone said it wrong, hahahaha."

The messenger was forced to admit that he had lied before, and his original calm posture could no longer be seen.

The officials in the ceremony room were watching from the side. At this moment, they looked at each other and felt that they had learned a trick.

First use extravagant moves to make your opponent relax.

Then take advantage of every opportunity to find opportunities for your opponent to make mistakes, and be good at taking advantage of them to build up your opponent's momentum and get the upper hand in subsequent negotiations.

He is indeed a convert!

These officials wished they could live with Shen An day and night and learn from each other. At this moment, Shen An stood up, and two people went over to guide him, and they were very attentive.

The envoy then stood up and followed, and found that the officials in the ceremonial room were all attentive to Shen An, forgetting about him as the envoy.

Both parties then appeared in the Privy Council.

Fu Bi exchanged glances with Shen An outside the duty room.

Get him!

Shen An nodded.

What a joke!

Seeing him enter the room, Fu Bi turned around and said to his subordinates: "I hope the envoy to occupy the city can hold on, so that I can see Shen An make a mistake."

After saying that, he felt something was wrong and said with a smile: "But that means Song Dynasty will suffer a loss, that's all, let's look at him."

An official said: "The Duke of Guifa has not been involved in foreign affairs for a long time. I am afraid he may be a stranger."

Fu Bi shook his head, "No, but this old man believes in him. Although he hasn't taken care of him for a long time, I think he will be more cunning. Anyone who becomes his opponent must be very alert, otherwise he will be beaten by him." I dug a hole and buried it without even knowing it.”

…

There are two ice basins placed indoors, which is quite cool.

Someone was making tea. Shen An pointed to the side and said, "Please sit down."

"Thank you for your trust, Hou."

After everyone sat down, Shen An looked up at the envoy and said, "Your envoy came from afar, what did you bring?"

The envoy did not expect that he was not polite at first, but straight to the point. He was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The foreign minister has brought the things to occupy the city, and he is still loyal."

"Then what do you want?" What kind of things, UU Reading www. uukanshu.netｔ It's just a local specialty, but Shen An doesn't like the local specialties in Zhancheng.

Is this person so direct?

Those who engage in diplomacy these days know to state their intentions in a subtle way, rather than being so explicit.

"The foreign minister hopes that the Song Dynasty can send reinforcements to help Champa resist Jiaozhi and Zhenla."

This was a polite statement. Champa City had never thought of this. I felt that the Song Dynasty was reluctant to spend a huge amount of money on garrisoning troops in Champa City.

"Are you sincere?" Shen An asked with a smile, not sure if he was joking or serious.

The messenger was amused in his heart, and then said seriously: "I tell you the truth."

"That's fine." Shen An turned his head and looked at the officials from the Ministry of Rites, "Have you written it all down?"

"It's all written down."

The discussions between the two parties were naturally recorded, but Shen An's instructions were to record every word, which was a bit puzzling.

Shen An turned around and said: "Within three to five years, the Song Dynasty will go to Champa City. I hope the envoy's words today can be evidence of the good relationship between the Song Dynasty and Champaign City."

What?

Will the Song Dynasty go to sea to capture the city in three to five years?

The messenger was a little confused, "I'm afraid we have to go back and discuss this matter."

He suddenly remembered Fu Bi's smile, which was very strange.

Why is he smiling like that?

"Does Zhancheng know about the fighting between the Song Dynasty and Jiaozhi?"

"Uh...what kind of fight?"

The messenger felt something was wrong.

Shen An changed the topic again, "The envoy said before that he was eagerly waiting for the Song Dynasty's heavenly troops to seize the city, why do we still need to discuss it?"

Sweat appeared on the messenger's forehead, "Foreign Minister... Foreign Minister cannot make the final decision on this matter."

Shen An leaned back, folded his arms, and sneered: "Then were you trying to trick Shen earlier? Yes, when you were in Fan Lou, you said you could eat five kilograms of food, but then you said you were full, so People who repeat themselves, what are you talking about? Let’s go!”
