Chapter 375: Food
Lin Xu is a man, it is normal for him to have scruples, most of the men in the Great Zhou Dynasty, especially those who read, like women to bow down in front of them, and no one wants to go home to serve an ancestor. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Hongchen held the young lady of the Lu family too high, maybe it would affect the relationship between the husband and wife, and make a couple who might have loved each other respectful.
Glancing at Lin Xu, Hongchen snorted stingily.
If the son and brother of the Wu family really treat Sister Yao coldly because of this matter, it is better to respect each other as guests.
She knows Sister Yao'er's temperament very well, she is a sensible and reasonable, serious reading and reading girl, and she is not rigid, the higher she praises her, the more confident she is, the more peaceful her temperament will be, and the more she can arrange her life well, Hongchen feels that her ability to see people, even if she can't compare with a demon like Lin Xu, it is quite good, it won't take so long, and she can't understand a simple girl.
"Sister Yao knows it in her heart."
Hongchen closed his eyes, leaned on the car and fell asleep.
Lin Xu put on a cloak for her, turned her head to look at the jubilant scene outside, and suddenly felt a little envious.
In fact, he also wants to ask the queen for marriage, in the palace, he still has some connections, and if he wants to meet the queen, it is not as simple as Hongchen, and it is not particularly difficult, but unfortunately, he can only think about it, if he really does this, he must provoke his girl.
"Xiaolin, who is the son of the Youwang family?"
Xiaohe suddenly probed in from the outside, "Luo Niang said that he wants to rob Hongchen and leave, he is not allowed to rob it, Hongchen is ours." ”
“……”
It's time to teach Xiaohe how to speak, practice martial arts and quickly train her brain into wood, what's the use of just having a face like a fairy, how can you rest assured that you can do this.
Until now, the master of Xiaohe's family has always felt that Lin Xu abducted his own child.
Lin Xu raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xiaohe, but his gaze suddenly became a little solemn.
A few days ago, he also heard the news, that kid from the Youwang family in the Southern Regions has always been the idea of Hongchen, and he also took the opportunity to send a congratulatory gift, and said it in front of the long-lived lord, if it weren't for the queen's refusal, the emperor has always listened to the mother's opinion on these matters, and it would be a little troublesome.
The relationship between the imperial court and the Southern Regions has always been delicate and complicated, and the power of King Youwang is not weak, so it is a good way to mix water into it and marry.
Lin Xu smiled, and he was also glad that their family Hongchen was not only not an easy to handle, but also a very good spirit master.
The emperor no longer likes spirit masters, and he will not casually give up a promising spirit master to the Youwang.
Lin Xu was ready to move for a moment, and suddenly wanted to put everything aside, first obey the master's wishes, and give his life's major events.
"Childe."
Outside, a dark shadow flickered.
Xiao He glared angrily, the spy in black hurriedly lowered his head, and Lin Xu sighed: "Xiao He, you send Hongchen home, and wait to find me in the old place." ”
"Oh, I'm going to ......"
"You can come back after dinner."
Lin Xu said with a smile.
Xiaohe seemed a little happy at this time, and obediently agreed.
Lin Xu saw Hongchen open his eyes in a daze, hurriedly lowered his body, and said softly: "Sleep, I have something to do, let Xiaohe send you back." ”
"Hmm."
Hongchen yawned, turned over and continued to sleep, don't care what Lin Xu was going to do, it didn't have much to do with him.
However, Hongchen's guess this time was a little wrong, maybe it didn't really have a big relationship, but it wasn't unrelated.
Lin Xu sent Xiaohe away and entered a small stronghold in the capital of Guigu, which was an ordinary shop, buying musical instruments such as pianos and flutes.
As soon as he entered the door, several Guigu disciples in various costumes inside got up to salute.
One of them, a middle-aged man in his thirties, with a white face and beard, dressed as a scribe, said with a solemn expression as soon as he saw Lin Xu: "We are also looking into other things, and we accidentally found that something is wrong, long live the lord to get a wild man in the palace, not many people know, but it is not a big secret, that Fu Qiu's details are quite clean, and everyone in the court has nothing to do with it, the emperor must have carefully examined it, we have also checked, and we have not found anything wrong, only know that he is indeed a miracle doctor, The three generations of ancestors and grandchildren are very famous, but in the past few months, people suddenly disappeared, no one saw him in the palace, and there was a fire in the eastern suburbs of Fujiazhuang years ago, a few people did not die, the family wealth was gone, and a few were accidentally disfigured, the imperial court specially allocated silver to rebuild, and now the whole Zhuangzi has a blue brick and tile house, the sick and injured are treated for free, and the children are also sent to the academy to study, and the people around them say that the Fu family is relying on a big official in the court as a backer, and some say that their family has a stunning beauty, Let the big official buy it, very favored. ”
The message is fragmentary and particularly one-sided.
Lin Xu watched it for a long time, but he vaguely felt that something was wrong, he had no specific ideas, no way, he knew too little things.
But after all, it is about the emperor, this is the person around the emperor who has an accident, even if it is just a little abnormal, they have to be very cautious.
Now is a critical juncture, one step ahead, the crown prince succeeds to the throne smoothly, the Great Zhou Dynasty has a smooth transition, the Four Kingdoms are peaceful, the next step, the disaster Xiao Wall, the Great Zhou Dynasty may not be guaranteed, at least it will consume a lot of vitality, and it will be difficult to say at that time.
The three countries outside were eyeing each other, and when they saw such an obvious flaw, it was strange that they didn't pounce on it and take a big bite.
Lin Xu exhaled and laughed: "The emperor doesn't want to die, he is trying to survive, and it is not ten out of ten selfishness, at least when he was in his prime, things were not so chaotic and not so complicated." ”
When he was young, he was decisive and sinful, but he gave the ordinary people a little peace at that time, but now that the tiger has no teeth, he doesn't take the people seriously.
"You pay more attention to the news in the palace, and be cautious in communicating with the prince, don't let people seize the handle."
Lin Xu closed his eyes, sank his thoughts, and said lightly.
Several people responded and didn't say anything.
After sending away a few subordinates, Lin Xu sat at the table and flipped the book out to read, but today he was a little uncertain and couldn't read it.
In fact, he can rest, and he has done the same thing that should be done, and he can't think that one person can do all the big things in the world.
Anyway, when the toothless tiger went and the prince successfully ascended the throne, he honestly only thought about how to please Hongchen and go out with her to see the scenery.
With one of the most troublesome spirit masters, you will definitely be able to see spectacles that ordinary people in the world will never see.
The spirit master who is the most troublesome doesn't cause trouble at this time.
Hongchen took Luo Niang and the two of them to buy cakes in line.
A while ago, there was a particularly famous cake stall in the capital, which is a small stall, which sets up a stall on the street every morning and evening, selling some ordinary cakes, as well as a kind of flower cake, made of various flowers, very sweet and delicious.
Hongchen had always felt that among the cuisines of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it was her own chef who made the best taste and the most variety, after all, she had a jade jue space, and there were countless recipes waiting for her to try.
The dishes in those recipes, she may not be able to eat them all in her life, no matter how great the cook's ability is, it is estimated that she can only learn a few in a lifetime, which is enough for her to eat happily and slowly.
I didn't expect to go out by chance, and I actually tasted something very delicious outside, so she said that she was holding this piece in her hand now, and she didn't know what kind of filling it was made of.
Hongchen planned to buy a few more, go back so that his family could also taste them, and by the way, he would send them to Lin Xu, that guy also had a good sweet tooth.
And Xiaohe, Xiaohe definitely likes it.
After queuing for a while, after all, it was a small stall, although because of its good craftsmanship and good business, there were not too many people, and it would soon be the master and servant of Hongchen.
Xiao Yan also breathed a sigh of relief, she followed her own lady out today, and she actually ran to this kind of place to queue up honestly, no matter how short the time was, she was uncomfortable.
Luo Niang glanced at her and laughed in a low voice: "It's really incomparable to before." ”
Now they have become more hypocritical, and those hard days in the past have finally turned into a little smoke, not non-existent, and have become less concerned.
"Xiao Yun, Xiao Yun, hurry, hurry up and go home, you, your sister has an accident."
The little boss in front of the stall was stunned, staggered, didn't even care about the stall, turned around and ran, and the panting young girl who came to call her hurriedly took a breath and came over to help her collect the stall.
"It's all gone, it's gone, she has something at home, she won't sell it, she won't sell it today."
Several of the guests in line were suddenly a little unhappy.
Hongchen also felt very disappointed, but if someone had something at home, he couldn't help but let people go.
"That's it, anyway, I've already eaten the delicious food, as for our Lin Gongzi, it can only be regarded as his lack of good taste."
Luo Niang and Xiao Yan shrugged their shoulders and honestly sent their young lady back.
They felt that it didn't matter, this kind of thing on the street stall, they were afraid that their county lord would eat too much and make their stomachs hurt.
After taking two steps, Hongchen was still unwilling: "I'll buy it tomorrow." ”
"Okay, okay, when the time comes, the two of us will come and buy it for the county lord." Anyway, I know the place, I don't need my own master to run a trip in person, it's a trivial matter to find someone to run an errand, besides, maybe I will go back and be busy, the county lord has forgotten what kind of cake this is.
Unexpectedly, Hongchen didn't forget that for three days in a row, Luo Niang and the others ran out of power, and they couldn't buy it at all.
Later, I asked the people around me, only to hear that the little girl who sold cakes that day was going back to get married, and I don't know if she will continue to work out of the stall in the future.
Luo Niang asked carefully, and her face was not very good when she went back, and when Hongchen asked, she didn't hide it.
"That girl is very pitiful, surnamed Bai, called Xiaoyun, is a person from Guojiatun near the capital, the family originally opened a tofu workshop, her mother's cooking skills are very good, I heard that there was an old imperial chef out of the palace to care for the elderly, see her mother is smart, she taught a few hands, she also learned a good cooking, she can also ponder new dishes and pastries, and then her mother died of illness, her father married a bride, and the bride also brought a stepson, because his father has never had a son, to treat the stepson as his own, and want to provide him with education, the family's money is not enough, she is not young now, I thought about going to the capital to set up a stall and supplement my family. ”
Hongchen raised his eyebrows: "Something happened to her family?" ”
Luo Niang nodded: "But no, I heard that the stepson of the Bai family was sick, unconscious, and it was not good to see the doctor, and then someone introduced and went to see a goddess, and the goddess gave an idea, saying that there is a girl who matches the stepson, if she marries into the door to rush to the joy, it will definitely be good, the Bai family is also sick and rushed to the doctor, so I found the woman's side according to the guidance of the goddess, the woman's side is also a poor family, not unwilling to marry a daughter, but the woman also has a son, the eldest is not small, because he is poor, he can't get a bride price, and he is still playing singles, I had to let their family pay twenty taels of gold as a bride price. ”
Hongchen: "......"
Xiao Yan almost squirted.
That's twenty taels of gold, where can an ordinary girl be so golden, not to mention anything else, even Xiao Yan herself, she never thought that she would get married one day, and she would take care of the man's dowry of twenty taels of gold.
Of course, Xiao Yan is too humble, with her current grade, twenty taels of gold is far from enough, at least Hongchen will not agree.
"Twenty taels of gold, the Bai family will definitely not be able to take it out, for the sake of their son, both of them have tried their best, crying and begging, at first the woman refused to let go, what people said also makes sense, your son is sick, he is not angry, let their daughters go over to be happy, who knows if it can be good or not, in case it can't be good, their daughters are finished for the rest of their lives, shouldn't they have a bride price?"
"Later, I didn't know where the woman heard about it, Bai Xiaoyun, the daughter of the Bai family, looks like a flower, and is very good at making money, has the ability, and is also literate, she is really a good girl, so they relented and said that it is okay not to give so many dowries, as long as they can get by, but Bai Xiaoyun has to marry into their family."
Xiao Yan frowned, "This is equivalent to changing relatives, but other people's families don't need a bride price for changing relatives, and this family still wants it." ”
Luo Niang also complained about the little girl in her heart: "The cheap son of the Bai family is getting sicker and sicker, and he hasn't eaten water and rice for three days, and the two of them are really distressed, Bai Xiaoyun and her father can't help it, I heard that she still agreed, and now Bai Xiaoyun is going home to prepare for marriage, saying that she is preparing to marry, but in fact, for the sake of her son's life, it is estimated that she will marry directly tomorrow." ”
After the two girls finished talking word by word, the female officials in the county lord's mansion didn't speak, and Hongchen didn't say anything.
This kind of thing is not uncommon at all, the world has multiple patriarchs, and it doesn't matter what the daughter does for the sake of the son.
"If the person set for Bai Xiaoyun is a good one, then that's it, I heard that not only a lot of people are old, but they are almost thirty years old, and they are also very terrifying, fierce and vicious, and their temper is not good, they are rude and rude, and everyone is afraid, hey, poor girl, I don't know what will happen in this generation."
Xiao Yan felt very uncomfortable.
Hongchen also remembered Bai Xiaoyun's appearance, his hands were particularly dexterous, he looked white and thin, and he smiled before speaking.
"Looking at the face, it's not a blessing." (To be continued.) )
