The rise of the poor

Chapter 1593 How is this wine
"Master, you haven't told me yet, have you been promoted to governor?" Mrs. Zhang asked again with concern.

"Having been trusted by the Holy One, he has been promoted to governor." Zhang Jingyun said calmly, as if he was saying that he had returned from shopping for vegetables.

"Really, that's really thankful, Amitabha." Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but smile when she heard this, the crow's feet around her eyes faded several times, and she clasped her hands together and bowed several times.

"You worship heaven and earth, and recite Amitabha Buddha, isn't Buddhism and Taoism going to fight in the sky?"

Zhang Jing shook his head helplessly, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Many people don't blame people, but gods and Buddhas wouldn't." The smile on Mrs. Zhang's face remained unabated, and she opened her mouth to argue.

"I've always told you to be cautious of independence, to be upright and pure in heart. It doesn't matter if you're dismissed or promoted. Power is nothing but a foreign object. If you're not upright and your heart isn't pure, power and wealth are nothing."

Zhang Jing shook his head slightly and said softly.

"Master, you have no conscience when you say this. We have been married for decades, don't you know me? When you were still called Cai Jing, I followed you. After you became an official, how many times did you know me?" Ten years have been like a day, how have I ever relied on your power!" Mrs. Zhang said angrily when she heard the words.

Before Zhang Jing could speak, Mrs. Zhang continued, "The reason why I care about your promotion is not because you were dismissed a few days ago. You tossed and turned for several days, unable to fall asleep, and sighed endlessly."

"Yes, I blamed my wife for my husband." Zhang Jing begged for mercy with a wry smile, and then said again, "The reason why I sighed and couldn't sleep a few days ago was not because Zhang Jing was greedy for power, but because I needed this power to fulfill my ideal—— Sweeping out the Japanese pirates will restore the trust of the saints, the peace of the common people, and the prosperity of the universe."

"You don't need to explain, I understand." Mrs. Zhang said tenderly.

Zhang Jing looked at him and couldn't help being moved.
Zhu Pingan couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, what did I do wrong, I was stuffed with dog food before I drank the wine.

"Ahem, I'm going to instruct the kitchen to fry some more appetizers." Mrs. Zhang was the first to recover, her face flushed slightly, she coughed, and leaned over.

"No need, ma'am, just the usual dishes." Zhu Pingan said politely, cupping his hands.

"How can I do that? The master finally brought people back, so how can we not cook more dishes. Besides, today the master is promoted, so I have to cook more dishes to celebrate." Mrs. Zhang said with a smile.

"Ma'am, I also brought the royal tribute wine 'Pearl Red' from my collection. Today is the time for it to be unsealed."

When Mrs. Zhang left, Zhang Jing emphasized a reminder.

Mrs. Zhang couldn't help being stunned when she heard the words, her face was full of surprise, and she doubted her ears. The jar of wine was the master's lifeblood. The master hit a wall in front of him, and thought that the master was going to take it underground, but he didn't expect to open it to drink today? !

Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but look at Zhu Ping'an more. This young man named Zhu Ping'an looks quite ordinary, but the master looks at him so differently.

Zhu Ping'an. This name seems a bit familiar, and I always feel as if I have heard it several times.

Mrs. Zhang went to the kitchen while recalling.

"Zi Hou, please." Zhang Jing stretched out his hand and invited Zhu Pingan into the living room.

The furnishings in the living room are also relatively simple, but elegant, which shows that Zhang Jing and his wife have good taste.

Soon the dishes were ready, eight dishes and one soup in total, cold lotus root, vinegared peanuts, scrambled eggs with fungus, braised tofu, vinegared mung bean sprouts, vinegared white cabbage, braised pork, steamed fish, and a pot of fish head tofu soup.

This is home-cooked food, unlike the last reception banquet, which has the name of home-cooked food but not the reality of home-cooked food.

Of course, the altar of "Pearl Red" is indispensable.

"Oh, you are Zhu Ping'an, the number one scholar who is famous in the sky! Well, yes, although you don't look very good, you are very talented, and you are also a good-looking talent. You are not very old, have you ever been married?"

When Mrs. Zhang came to deliver the wine, she suddenly remembered who Zhu Ping'an was, and asked curiously.

Then, without waiting for Zhu Ping'an's answer, he warmly introduced, "There is a little girl in my distant cousin's family. She is beautiful, well-educated, well-known in the workshop, and has never been married to anyone."

There are not many people who can catch the eyes of the old man, and there are even fewer people who can make the old man look at him differently. They must have excellent character and talent.Moreover, this Zhu Ping'an was the number one scholar, and he wiped out the Japanese pirates who invaded Yingtian. He was a rare man with both civil and military skills.Wouldn't it be a great thing for such a young talent to marry my niece.

"Ma'am." Zhang Jing frowned.

"I'm also concerned." Mrs. Zhang explained.

"Thank you Madam for your concern, but Ping An is already married, so I can only thank Bu Min." Zhu Pingan thanked her with cupped hands.

"That's such a pity, I still want to introduce you to each other." Mrs. Zhang said regretfully, and then said with interest, "I don't know what kind of girl she is, so blessed, next time I come, I will bring your wife along with you." superior."

"Thank you ma'am, I will definitely have a chance." Zhu Pingan cupped his hands.

"Okay, I won't bother you, you can eat while it's hot. Although you are happy today, you should drink in moderation. Drinking too much will hurt your health." Mrs. Zhang got up and left before leaving.

Because ancient times paid attention to different seating for men and women, Mrs. Zhang went to eat in other rooms instead of at the same table.And Zhang Jing's son accompanied his wife to visit relatives at the father-in-law's house in Henan. He left last month and hasn't come back yet.

Therefore, there are only Zhu Pingan and Zhang Jing at this table.

"Come on, Zihou, try this imperial wine 'Pearl Red'." Zhang Jing opened the wine jar, poured it into the jug, and poured wine for Zhu Pingan with the jug.

Zhu Pingan got up and held the wine glass with both hands, received the wine, poured the wine into the wine glass, and the carmine red wine was rippling in the glass.

Didi Pearl Red is about to burn, no wonder it is called "Pearl Red".

"Your official has the audacity to borrow flowers to present Buddha. This glass of wine is a toast to my lord. Congratulations to my lord for being promoted to governor-general." Zhu Ping'an respected Zhang Jing with a glass of wine.

"Hehe, speaking of it, it's really a good excuse. This glass of wine is owed to you." Zhang Jing smiled slightly, and picked up the wine glass.

The two raised their glasses to signal, and then drank it down.

After drinking a glass of wine, Zhu Pingan felt a mellow and sweet wine enter his stomach from his throat, and the aftertaste was very mellow.

"How is this wine?" Zhang Jing asked with a smile.

"It is mellow and sweet, with a long aftertaste. It is worthy of the royal wine. With the blessing of my lord, I am lucky enough to drink the royal wine. In the future, I will have another enviable conversation topic." Zhu Pingan replied with a slight smile.

"That's right. This wine is yellow wine fermented with red yeast rice. It has a long aftertaste, just like the great grace of the emperor. We, as subjects, should be like red yeast rice. We should not forget our responsibilities and work hard for the sake of the saints, the people of Ming Dynasty, and the people of Ming Dynasty. Lang Lang Qiankun contributes all his strength and will not change until death." Zhang Jing said with emotion.

"Ping'an has been taught." Zhu Ping'an nodded vigorously.
