Chapter 633: Ancestral Hall
Well, Lan Xin's hand on the table was stunned, obviously not expecting the emperor to ask himself such a question. She squirmed her lips quickly, savoring what it was like to swallow the liquid in the cup just now.
Because after sitting down, my mind was racing all the time, and I didn't even notice what was in the teacup.
The corner of his eye swept to Chang Gonggong's dust. I understood and quickly got up.
The emperor smiled and waved his hand, and said with a kind face: "This is not the previous dynasty, so there is no need to be restrained." ”
Lan Xin raised his eyebrows in surprise, and felt that the emperor's kind attitude was reasonable and unexpected. Moreover, at this time, there is a chance to see the emperor's appearance clearly.
The emperor did not wear a dragon robe today, only a clean and bright white brocade robe. The hair was tied up with a flawless jade crown, the face was as angular as a carving, and the pupils under the thick eyebrows were bright and dark. The thin lips are pursed, and the innate kingly aura is intimidating.
Lan Xin bowed his head lightly and said with a smile: "The soup is emerald green, crystal like amber. The aroma is high and the taste is strong. It is a rare drink. ”
Of course it's rare!
The other three people in the main hall muttered to themselves. They had heard that this fine pine needle dew was the first drop of dew that thousands of palace maids had collected from the pine trees when the sun was just showing its head, but it was not fully revealed.
After the dew is collected, it is mixed with hundreds of precious medicinal herbs and brewed into pine needle dew after 7749 processes. It is said that nearly 100 palace maids collected dew for ten days in a row to make the cup of pine needle dew in front of Lan Xin.
Moreover, this pine needle dew not only tastes mellow, but also has the effect of strengthening the spleen and stomach, relaxing muscles and invigorating blood, and beautifying the skin.
Because of the huge cost of the project, in the entire palace, only the emperor, the queen mother and the queen are eligible to drink. Moreover, the emperor ordered that there should only be one cup per person per month.
Lord Song gasped for breath, his eyes were red, and he felt that the cups on the previous cases were unsightly! The concubine didn't drink a drop of pine needle dew, and was actually drunk by a little girl from the countryside. How unreasonable?!
But even if the green tendons on his hands burst out, he didn't dare to make a mistake in front of the emperor.
The emperor smiled and said, "That's right, this kind of pine needle syrup tastes very good, but it takes a lot of effort to make." After changing the topic, he continued, "The location of your Jade Family Ancestral Hall, can you choose?"
Ancestral Hall? Lan Xin was stunned again. As a daughter, she will marry sooner or later. Now even if the ancestral hall is established, who will come over to take care of it in the future? Is it a successor from the clan to inherit the incense of his father, or does the emperor have other arrangements?
"Hehe! The ancestral hall is good. Lan Xin's mind turned back and forth, and An Pinghou answered with a smile, "The dignified Jade King's Mansion doesn't have a decent ancestral hall, isn't it a joke? ”
The last sentence lowered his voice and said it with eyebrows, as if he was reminding Lan Xin and as if he was currying favor with the emperor.
"Hehe!" the emperor laughed, "Marquis Anping reminded me." It's just that what does Lan Xin have in mind?"
Lan Xin would not hesitate any longer, and said with a smile: "Back to the emperor, Hou Ye." Lan Xin really didn't know much about the ancestral hall. Please also ask the emperor and the marquis for guidance. ”
The emperor held a teacup in his hand, leaned on the back of the chair behind him leisurely, and said with a smile with an indescribable nobility: "You are young and have not experienced it." Naturally, I don't understand.
But that's okay. Find someone who knows how to do it, won't it be over?! I think, since An Pinghou understands, it is better to leave this matter to An Pinghou. ”
Belch?
Yes?
As soon as the emperor's words fell, Lan Xin and the Marquis of Yongning were both shocked! What Lan thought to himself was that although the ancestral hall of the Jade King's Mansion was a major event, it would not be enough to work the Marquis of Anping?
And Yongning Hou's mind is deeper. Twisting his brows, he secretly thought to himself: What is the purpose of Anpinghou, an old thing, at this time, to find an opportunity to go out of Beijing?
"Hey, hey, hey!" An Pinghou raised his sleeves and snickered with his mouth, "Your Majesty, you really can't see the old minister idle." Lao Chen's little grandson will be born in a few days.
Teasing his grandson and raising his children for the rest of his life is the biggest ideal of the old minister's life. But the emperor, you just didn't let the old minister get his wish. This ······ This ······· It's all to blame for the old minister's mouth.
If the old minister was like them and didn't say anything, wouldn't he have to leave Beijing?
Lan Xin pretended to be deaf and dumb and sat there tasting pine needle dew. She was a newcomer, and she didn't know what was going on, and she didn't want to speak rashly.
Besides, in this hall, from top to bottom, no one is a fool. What to say and what not to say, my heart is clear. An Pinghou answered at this juncture, definitely with a purpose.
The emperor said with a smile with his usual gentleness on his face: "Don't be cheap, but sell well! This is a good thing! After a while, you will go to the household department and let them prepare the silver as soon as possible." The sooner you set out, the sooner you can build the ancestral hall. ”
"Yes, the old minister obeys!" An Pinghou stood up and bowed in agreement. casually, he continued to ask, "I don't know, the emperor, you let the old minister out of Beijing." In which direction?"
The emperor smiled and said, "I think Huzhou is good." Of course, he said this to Lan Xin. "I went to your ancestral home. It is indeed a good place by the mountains and rivers. Besides, in that house, there are still more than 200 souls of the Yu family. ”
Therefore, it is the best place to build an ancestral hall there.
Lan Xin blinked his eyes, no wonder no matter how much silver he paid, he couldn't buy the Yu family's old mansion in Huzhou. It turned out that it had already entered the hands of the emperor.
Also, the matter of the ancestral hall should have been thought about by the emperor a long time ago. I just don't know what the purpose of bringing it up at this time and sending An Pinghou over to preside over the overall situation. Also, the emperor has mentioned the things in Huzhou twice before.
She did not shy away from talking about his own and the Yu family's past affairs, and it seemed that the remnants of the eldest prince had been wiped out.
The emperor looked at Lan Xin's dazed appearance, and said with a smile: "By the way, I will give the mountain behind the ancestral house of the Yu family to the Yu family. In this way, after the ancestral hall is built, it will be even more magnificent. ”
