Bingwen was startled when he heard this, and quickly saluted: "General Zhao."
After speaking, he glanced at Su Qian'an complainingly and said angrily to him: "General Zhao is here, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"I have sent Sang Yi to Mingxiang Garden for a long time, but you are not here. Jiao Shi said that you and Lord Kong went out together, probably to Admiral Huo's Mansion, so I left a verbal message for him." Su Qian'anbai glanced at him.
"In that case, it's my fault." Bingwen thought that it was indeed not Su Qian'an's fault, and smiled apologetically.
Su Qian'an hummed twice without comment.
Bingwen hurriedly turned to Zhao Xingwen and said, "My Majesty, Bingwen, I wonder if the young marquis has mentioned this to the general."
"Of course, I sent him a letter on the way back to Beijing, so naturally I went to find Su Qian'an after he mentioned it." Zhao Xingwen smiled heartily.
Bingwen felt a little relieved after hearing this. If Xia Chu hadn't said it, his intrusion would have been inappropriate.
"I don't know about Young Marquis?" Bingwen hesitated to speak.
"General Zhao didn't know where the young master had gone. He thought the young master had returned to Beijing before writing to him. Who knew that the young master didn't reply? The letter told him that if he came to Beijing and had nowhere to go, he might as well come to us to relieve his boredom. ." Su Qian'an saw Bingwen's hesitant expression and knew what he was going to ask, so he answered the question.
There was a hint of disappointment in Bingwen's heart, but his face was gentle. He politely asked Zhao Xingwen to sit down before speaking: "I see. I wonder if General Zhao has something important to do when he comes to Beijing this time?"
"It's nothing important. I just went back to Beijing to report on my work." After Zhao Xingwen finished speaking, he looked at Kong Changhui again.
Bingwen followed his gaze and looked at Kong Changhui. Then he remembered that he had forgotten to introduce him and quickly introduced him: "This is Kong Changhui, who was ranked second in the Jinke Ranking and is temporarily serving as editor of the Hanlin Academy."
"I've met General Zhao." Kong Changhui quickly bowed after hearing this.
"Hurry up and sit down. Since we are all friends, don't be polite. We who have been fighting for many years have always been informal. Don't be too rigid. I can't stand the formality." Zhao Xingwen nodded.
All three of them smiled, and the atmosphere instantly became warm.
"I just like General Zhao's character, he is bold and forthright." Su Qian'an toasted Zhao Xingwen after hearing this.
When Bingwen saw Zhao Xingwen finish the drink, he picked up the wine bottle and filled it for him and asked: "General Zhao, did you have a smooth journey back?"
"It was okay. I just saw the huge wedding procession. After entering the capital, I found out that it was Prince Yu's wedding procession."
After Bing Wenjing mentioned it, he remembered that today is May 1st, the day when Xiao Yanjun's wedding team left the city.
"I heard that the wedding team was preparing to set off some time ago. During the process, His Royal Highness the Fourth Highness granted him the title of King Yu, and the standards were increased, so the departure was postponed until today." He explained to Zhao Xingwen.
"Now that Meng Xiao is also married, the Hu State will feel more at ease after this battle. The Liang State is garrisoned by King Mo's army, so naturally there will be no mistakes. As for the Western Regions, there has always been no dispute with other countries. If you want to come to this world, There will be peace for a long time." Zhao Xingwen nodded.
"In this case, General Zhao might as well stay in the capital for a little longer. When the young master returns to the capital, I might as well entertain you." Su Qian'an suggested.
He and Bingwen originally wanted to ask Zhao Jiajun's story in detail, but since Kong Changhui was still present, they decided to talk about it later.
Zhao Xingwen nodded and said, "That's exactly what I meant. I have to wait until Xia Chu comes back to cook me a meal."
"Young master can also cook?" Su Qian'an and Bingwen were shocked at the same time.
"None of you have eaten it?" Zhao Xingwen wondered.
Then I thought about it, the legitimate sons of Xiahou Mansion should be pampered and pampered in the past, so why would they cook for them.
Bingwen and Su Qian'an shook their heads at the same time, laughing when they saw Zhao Xingwen mentioning it with salivating expressions: "I think the young marquis' cooking skills are very good. General Zhao just mentioned it, and he had endless aftertaste."
"Don't make fun of me. When you taste it in the future, you will know what it means to miss it day and night." Zhao Xingwen argued with a smile.
Although Bingwen and Su Qian'an didn't believe it, they still smiled together. Bingwen interrupted and asked, "If General Zhao is bored living in the General's Mansion, why not come and live in Mingxiangyuan for a while. "
"General Zhao, why don't you go and stay for a while? It's hard to find a place in Mingxiang Garden now." Su Qian'an encouraged.
"Oh?" Zhao Xingwen became interested. Nowadays, the General's Mansion is full of women, so he is indeed a bit boring.
"It's just a garden where some literati activities are held from time to time." Bingwen saw that General Zhao frowned when he heard about the literati activities, and quickly continued: "In addition to the literati activities, the decoration is also quite elegant, and the scenery is not bad. . The most important thing is that if General Zhao wants to have a drink when he has nothing to do, he can still have someone to accompany him."
Bingwen's last words spoke to Zhao Xingwen's heart.
Alcohol is prohibited in the army, so he will definitely drink heavily when he returns to Beijing this time.
The general's residence also suffers from the lack of drinking friends. He grew up in the army. It is really difficult to find a drinking partner in this huge capital.
"If that's the case, it would be disrespectful to refuse." Zhao Xingwen didn't show any pretense, and as soon as he thought about it, he happily agreed.
"It is Mingxiangyuan's honor that Master Kong also lives in Yuanzi." Bingwen introduced.
"The editor of the Hanlin Academy is also a sixth-grade official, and the emperor doesn't even grant him a mansion?" Zhao Xingwen asked with a frown.
"No, no, Xiaguan has been living there before the results were released. Now that I'm used to it, I'm too lazy to move." Kong Changhui quickly explained.
"After General Zhao moved in, this Mingxiang Garden has become both civil and military." Bingwen joked.
"That's right, Mr. Kong is second in the Jinke rankings, plus me." Zhao Xingwen was not polite and laughed.
"It's not just Mr. Kong. All the top three people in Jinke originally lived in Mingxiang Garden. Now one of them has gone to Guwan to take up his post, and there is still a top scholar." Bingwen smiled.
"You are not an ordinary member of the garden." Zhao Xingwen heard that all the top three were there. No wonder Su Qian'an said that it was hard to find a post in the garden. Just the joy alone made so many people want to take part in it.
Bingwen leaned forward, leaning slightly forward, and whispered into General Zhao's ear: "There is another person in the garden who is the Young Marquis. He has a weird and cruel temper. In the future, I will let the Young Marquis personally introduce you to you. I will help you." Don’t touch him.”
Bingwen was referring to Wuma Huacai, and when Zhao Xingwen listened to Bingwen's whisper, the face of the raven came to mind.
I thought to myself that it would be better to stay away from the people in early Xia.
But he forgot that the people drinking with him at this time were all people from Xia Chu...
The four of them drank and chatted happily, and except for Kong Changhui, the remaining three were extremely happy.
Although Zhao Xingwen was a general, he never put up a fight.
Bingwen and Su Qian'an were very happy because of his bold and cheerful personality.
Only Kong Changhui was a little restrained, and he was still thinking about Admiral Huo's incident.
At first glance, it seems a bit lonely and sad...
