Chapter 57: Such a coincidence
After more than ten days is the Mid-Autumn Festival, because of the poverty of the Chu State, the Chu Emperor has never advocated large-scale celebrations, so it is just a gift for each family to have a reunion dinner. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Chu Shuhuang prepared early in the palace, and after several experiments, he finally made exquisite and delicious mooncakes in the imperial dining room. There are sesame walnut filling, lotus paste egg yolk filling, osmanthus filling, bean paste filling, these are several kinds of stuffing that Chu Shuhuang loved to eat in his previous life, and they are made into two kinds of fragrant soft and crispy respectively.
The moon cakes in the previous life were very sweet, Chu Shuhuang didn't like them, these moon cakes only put a small amount of sugar, or no sugar, retaining the original aroma of the ingredients, and the emperor and queen were full of praise after tasting it. I also asked the imperial dining room to do a lot, and sent people out with the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The gift that Chu Shuhuang gave to his parents was a few pots of golden camellias, and after the palace people reported in the morning, Chu Shuhuang asked them to be sent directly to Fengxiang Palace. Pots of graceful and elegant golden camellias, marigold, beautiful and pretty, the queen's heart is full of golden light, and her milk doll has grown up!
Chu Shuhuang said some auspicious words with him, and then took people out of the palace. She is going to the Anguo Mansion today to send a festival gift, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, Hua Chang is still in the barracks, and she also wants to visit the old Anguo Gong by the way.
Chu Shuhuang's carriage directly entered the second gate of the Anguo Mansion, and there was no master in the mansion at this time, but it was still orderly and orderly. Chu Shuhuang is no stranger to such a scene, when Hua Chang didn't come back two years ago, it was like this most of the time. The difference is the brisk pace and happy expression of the subordinate, she asked people to send the reward down, and she led people to send the camellia straight to Rongguitang for placement.
I went to Yinglan Pavilion to settle down again, and then went out again. Now some ears and eyes in Beijing know that Yingxia Pavilion and the soon-to-be-opened Garden Restaurant are the property of Princess Shengping, so Chu Shuhuang is not deceiving himself and traveling in disguise, so he changed into simpler clothes and took people directly to Yingxia Pavilion.
The shopkeeper Zhao of Yingxia Pavilion has long known that the identity of the owner is valuable, and now looking at the dressed Princess Shengping, he still can't believe it, that is the most noble daughter of Chu State, the only princess! What kind of good luck did you have to climb to the sky in one step?
The weather is getting cooler, people are gradually changing into autumn clothes, the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is also indispensable, and there are a few sets of clothes to go out, and the business of Yingxia Pavilion is very prosperous. Shopkeeper Zhao said that the general situation in the shop was running normally, and Chu Shuhuang let him go down.
The business of Jiyuan Warehouse has always been taken care of by Yuan Cheng Yuanguang, and Jiyuan Warehouse is as popular as Lu Yuan by all kinds of traders, and it is busy every day.
The carriage and horse shop set up by Lu Yuan has already run twice, but the business is relatively cold in the early days, and the manpower needs to be run in a lot. In autumn, the local products are gradually ripening and all walks of life are gradually entering the peak season, so it should be very busy.
Although the carriage and horse shop are not the same as the dart game, they are also eating the rivers and lakes, in addition to maintaining the various relationships on the road, the most important thing is to be hard enough.
When he first arrived in Nanshi, he saw those children who were sold, so Yuan Cheng Yuanguang secretly picked some good bones and bought them according to Chu Shuhuang's instructions, and placed them in two inconspicuous small mansions to teach martial arts and some skills.
When these children are apprenticed, they will become the main force of the chariot and horse dealership, but it will take three years at the earliest. Now don't be in a hurry, just find out the way everywhere and accumulate slowly.
Everything is in order, Qinghe sent the prepared festival gifts to everyone, so that everyone can have a good holiday, and asked Yuanguang to bring a share to Lu Yuan.
Coming out of Yingxia Pavilion, along the upper street, you will come directly to the garden restaurant on the Yanhe embankment that is ready to open.
The three-storey restaurant, with a floor area of more than 20 zhang wide, has a new look of decoration, and it is very dazzling among the shops lined up on the embankment of the Yan River. The shopkeeper Yan led a few young men to clean up and wipe the details, just waiting for the flowers to be in place. A total of eight chefs have been put in place, in addition to the original chef of the restaurant, two more imperial chefs have been found from the palace, and the eldest prince has sent three chefs who specialize in special dishes from all over the world.
Seeing Chu Shuhuang in full costume, Shopkeeper Yan was a little flattered. Shopkeeper Zhao had a rough guess about Chu Shuhuang's identity for a long time because of Hua Chang's original introduction, but Shopkeeper Yan was not psychologically prepared at all, and respectfully bowed to worship, but he couldn't find a place in his heart. It must be the ancestor who accumulated virtue, and after going back, he must put on two more incense sticks.
Chu Shuhuang didn't seem to see the embarrassment of the shopkeeper Yan, took a closer look, and then had lunch in the restaurant, and rewarded the festival before returning to the Anguo Mansion with satisfaction.
The Anguo Mansion was still the same as it was, and after Chu Shuhuang freshened up, he rested for a while, and arranged for someone to send a gift to Jiang Li.
The fan cover prepared for my uncle and several cousins last time, after I made it, I found that there were two colors that were too bright and a little ostentatious, Chu Shuhuang thought that Hua Chang was more suitable, so he kept it. Let the people around you take those two fan covers and walk towards Zizhuyuan leisurely.
It was still Ah Qi who was staying in the study, of course he knew early that Chu Shuhuang was coming to the house, and he would give Chu Shuhuang a salute from afar.
"Let's be flat." Chu Shuhuang said listlessly, he always felt that this Anguo Mansion was empty, but if the flowers were there, it would be too annoying to be cloudy and sunny.
Ah Qi raised the curtain, and Chu Shuhuang took the fan cover from Qinghe's hand and walked into Huachang's study. The study room is still the same layout, but there are two more pots of spider plants in the corner of the room, and Chu Shuhuang is still sitting on the chair in the outer room, and he does not take one more step inside.
After Ah Qi respectfully served tea, he stood next to the door. With the first few experiences, he is also down-to-earth, Princess Sheng Ping will not move in the study, and the prince does not dislike the princess entering the study independently, he just needs to wait well.
Chu Shuhuang sat for a while before he said, "How often does my cousin come back?" ”
Ah Qi turned around, took two steps forward, bowed and said, "Only a few days ago, when the old lady of Changguo celebrated her birthday, the prince came back once, and he only stayed in the study for a while, and then went out in a hurry. When will I come back, the little one doesn't know. ”
This is a little weird, when Hua Chang will come back, she doesn't care, such a cloudy person really didn't want to see it. Chu Shuhuang glanced at Ah Qi twice, there was really no need to explain.
He put the two fan covers on the table, and then said, "Maybe my cousin will like these two fan covers, so you can put them away first." It's a craft in the palace, and it's good if you don't like to give it away. ”
"Yes, when the prince comes back, the small one must be handed over to the prince."
At this moment, I heard Qinghe and others outside: "Say hello to the prince." ”
Chu Shuhuang is a little weird, is it really so coincidental?
Ah Qi was already greeted with surprise on his face, "Master, are you back?" ”
I saw a man wearing a rude brocade robe with blue and silver thread, covered with a bright blue embroidered dark flower gauze robe, walking in. The black and vertical hair, the slanting and straight sword eyebrows, and the angular outline, I have to admit that it matches his arrogant look very well, and such a sharp beauty hits the heart.
Chu Shuhuang smiled and said, "Cousin is back!" At the same time, he suppressed the exclamation in his heart, searched for Hua Chang with his eyes recklessly, and finally came to the conclusion that it was the same as before, but stronger.
