Biography of the traitorous officials who dominated the Song Dynasty

Chapter 120 Crab Roe Buns
Ping'er immediately became anxious and said to Earl Ying, "Say this again? I'm sorry you can speak out."

"Is it possible that you don't know what those gold and silver treasures mean to the slave family? Those are all the hard work of the old eunuch Hua who has worked hard to accumulate for most of his life."

Earl Ying suppressed his cynical smile and placed his hands on Ping'er's shoulders.

He said seriously: "How could I not know this?"

"Otherwise, tomorrow I will tell the matter to the sage, and I will ask the sage to personally send someone to Qinghe County to move all the things in the house to Bianliang City. What do you think?"

After Earl Ying said this, Ping'er felt a little relieved in her heart.

After a while, Ping'er nodded and said, "In that case, let's do it."

When the two of them turned around, they saw that Huan'er and Ying'er had already woken up.

The two women, an older one and a younger one, were lying on the bed, looking at the two of them.

Earl Ying and the others woke up one after another, first washed themselves, and then went to the dining room of Cai Jing's mansion.

Earl Ying saw with his eyes a dozen maids and servants standing on both sides of the road in the dining room.

Everyone holds a large basket of steaming steamed buns in their hands, and each bun is very exquisite in appearance.

It looks as white as snow, and it even seems less like food and more like art.

Cai Jing's eldest wife, Mrs. Sun, saw that Earl Ying and others had arrived at the dining room, and immediately ordered several maids to take bowls and chopsticks for Earl Ying and others.

Earl Ying pointed to the drawer of buns in the arms of everyone in the field, and asked Mrs. Sun with great interest: "I have made so many buns, are there any guests at home today?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the three maids standing around behind Mr. Sun burst out laughing.

Mrs. Sun looked at Earl Ying and said softly: "It is true that we have guests. Aren't you the guests?"

Upon hearing this, Earl Ying turned to look at Jin Lian, Chun Mei, and Ping'er, all of whom smiled knowingly.

Sun's maid explained to the Earl: "Master Ying, today we only eat steamed buns and nothing else."

"But don't think these are any ordinary steamed buns. Every steaming and fragrant steamed bun you see is made of crab roe."

"Take a closer look. Adding these and the dozens of steamed buns in the kitchen that haven't been served yet, this meal will cost you fifteen hundred guan!"

Pan Jinlian and Pang Chunmei both looked pale, looked at the maid and asked: "Wha... what? Did you hear that right? One thousand five hundred dollars!"

To put it bluntly, this fifteen hundred dollars is equivalent to the total annual living expenses and income of seventy middle-class families.

Just eating a meal of steamed buns would cost so much, it’s really hard not to be jaw-dropping.

Huan'er and Ying'er looked at the trays of steamed buns held in the arms of the maids and young men on both sides of the dining room.

It was like seeing pots of glittering gold.

For a moment, I didn’t know how to be willing to eat this priceless bun.

Earl Ying was unambiguous. He stood up and took three crab roe buns from the arms of a handsome maid.

He rubbed his hands and said, "In that case, you're welcome."

As soon as he stuffed one of the crab roe buns into his mouth, the bun immediately overflowed with fragrance and the soup splashed everywhere.

He felt as if he was in a fairyland.

What a great enjoyment that is!
Mrs. Sun just repeatedly asked the maids to serve tea and porridge to Earl Ying and others.

She is a woman, and she just fulfilled the tasks Cai Jing asked her before going to court today, that's all.

Pan Jinlian, Pang Chunmei and others saw that Earl Ying was enjoying his meal, so they started to get busy with bowls and chopsticks.

Earl Ying ate for a while when he suddenly heard rapid footsteps coming from the courtyard outside the dining hall.If you listen with your ears, you will know that someone from Cai Jing's house is back.

It sounds like there are quite a lot of people.

As soon as he finished the remaining half of the crab roe bun in his hand, a boy walked in from outside the door.

The young man whispered to him softly: "Sir, please come to me quickly. My master has something to ask you."

Earl Ying just asked Huan'er and Ying'er to eat without worry, while he followed the young man out through the door of the dining room.

"When did your master come back? Just now?"

Earl Ying followed the young man and asked in a deep voice as he walked.

The boy didn't say anything, just nodded.

Earl Ying noticed that he was in a hurry. It seemed that something big had happened to Cai Jingying.

This young boy led Count Ying to Cai Jing's study as quickly as possible. As soon as he opened the door, what caught Count Ying's eyes were Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Gao Qiu, Liang Shicheng and other members of the "Six Thieves". .

Everyone was wearing official uniforms and official boots.

It looked like he had just gone to court and hadn't even had time to change out of his clothes.

Earl Ying frowned, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and found Cai Jing standing in front of the desk, writing something intently.

The boy reported, but Cai Jing didn't even raise his head.

He just said: "Just come in, waiter, and close the door before you leave."

The boy immediately accepted the order, walked out quickly, and closed the door tightly.

Earl Ying stood in front of the six thieves and felt very embarrassed.

After all, Gao Qiu and others didn't know who he was.

So I just looked at him with my eyes and did not get up to say hello to him.

Cai Jing held the brush in hand and was really busy for a while.

After a long while, Cai Jing took a long breath and raised his head.

Looking at Earl Ying, he smiled softly, turned around and introduced to Gao Qiu, Tong Guan and others: "My lords, this is Lord Ying Guanghou who was just appointed by the Holy Lord to give things to others."

As soon as Cai Jing finished speaking, Gao Qiu, Tong Guan and others' eyes immediately lit up.

They all rushed to stand up, quickly approached Earl Ying, and complimented Earl Ying repeatedly.

For a moment, Earl Ying even felt a little embarrassed.

All he could do was say: "Hello, adults."

Gao Qiu hurriedly grabbed Earl Ying's right arm with his hand, and said to Tong Guan, Liang Shicheng and the others, "I have heard about it for a long time. Sir Ying was the favorite of the Holy Majesty when he was in Qinghe County."

"Speaking of it... speaking of it, we can serve as officials in the same court as Mr. Ying, hehe! It can be regarded as a blessing for us old brothers!"

Tong Guan quickly answered: "That's true. Sir Ying, please accept my bow!"

Tong Guan then bowed to Earl Ying.

Earl Ying saw that Tong Guan was eight feet long and muscular. The visual effect was truly extraordinary.

But hearing Tong Guan's voice, Earl Ying's heart froze.

I thought: Damn it!I always thought that Tong Guan was a general who was close to Emperor Huizong, but it turned out to be a eunuch!
