The torches were lit in such large numbers that they formed billowing smoke, and the originally dark sky was a hazy color, but the trees were as bright as day.

A few arrows flew by, and the man tried to block it with his body, but there were too many of them, and he was hit by more than a dozen arrows, but his wife and children were still screaming and falling in a pool of blood. The man lay on the ground, his body twitching from the loss of blood, and he looked directly at the faces of his wife and children, even though the enemy was behind him. He wanted to engrave the image of his beloved in his soul, expecting ...... Find it in the next life.

The village disappeared in a flash of fire. Only then did the chaos come out of the woods countless strangely dressed soldiers and armor, and densely stood on top of the still warm ruins, a full tens of thousands of people!

A man who was at least a foot tall walked out of the ranks, sat beside a fire, tore off a person's thigh from the corpse next to him, and burned it directly on the fire. Even when he was sitting, he was a lot taller than the average person.

"Nanming is really a good place, that is, the human flesh is much better than other places, juicy and soft...... Rest for a day, and after a day, the army will swing directly to Dawan City! ”

……

Princess Wenhua has been very busy recently, she is very popular, and she will welcome many sisters to greet her every day in the harem. And since she went to Ningxianglou that day, she has been even more 'busy' here, and people are blocked at the door. It's all because when Ning Xianglou closed that day, she was actually given a large package 'to take', which was full of pastries and meat that could be stored for a long time, as well as a small jar of fine wine. Even out of the door, there was a carriage pulling a closed round wooden barrel, and returned to the palace with the princess, which was of course full of beer, which was what the heavenly sin called 'walking in the clouds'.

After she returned to the palace, she was just happy to invite a few friends who she had the most friends on weekdays, eat delicious food, and give some to her mother and a few widows of the former emperors, originally planning to keep this matter a secret, but she didn't want to ...... In a world where there are only women and eunuchs, there are no secrets to speak of. It only took two or three hours of effort, and His Majesty came to 'rub the rice'!

With this old shameless leader, how can others be polite? One by one, they came to the door with gifts, nominally 'reminiscing', but if they didn't give food and drink, they would definitely sit until they were old, and they wouldn't leave.

I could have eaten a meal for two or three months, but it was completely gone in two days. And those concubines and princesses will still come, or if they don't eat it, they will never leave, all because those things are delicious to a certain level, and then go to eat the dishes in the palace after eating, it is like chewing wax, it is difficult to swallow, the so-called from thrift to luxury is easy to go from luxury to thrift, after eating the best oil, the best salt, the most luxurious sugar, and the most charming craftsmanship to make a meal, and then to eat that bitter thing, it is really a torture.

And Princess Wenhua finally blushed and said that she was gone, in exchange for the anger of a lot of women, and even when she was walking to the door, ready to drink another big glass of beer and eat a piece of bacon, she hurriedly ran away. If this food comes from somewhere else, it is okay, and His Majesty has given an order, people will be grateful to Dade for coming in and offering it, but these things are sinful, hateful and annoying, but they have to be fascinated by him.

So I thought about it for a night, and especially took out my own fairy crystal jade pendant and sent someone to give it to Princess Wenhua, this kind of jade pendant has only one function, that is, she can enter and leave the palace freely, Princess Wenhua is not stupid, when she sees the jade pendant, she knows that her brother is letting him go to Ningxianglou to 'take' again.

The next day, Princess Wenhua looked at the women who almost surrounded her palace, gritted her teeth, and went out of the palace with Qing'er, and came to the door of Ningxiang Building again.

It's been four days since she's last visited, and it's a completely different place! In the past, there were some noble sons and daughters in front of this door, but now there are indeed sedan chairs and carriages here, one is more high-end than the other, one is more than one person, and even there are several sedan chairs carried by eight people.

Standing at the door is Nan Mingpo, who even Princess Wenhua knows, and everyone is annoyed by General Guo.

"What do you mean you came yesterday and won't let you in today?! Do you know who the Sprinkler family is? General Zhenguo! General Zhenguo, you dare to stop it? Tired of being crooked, isn't it?! ”

Cui Siyuan smiled and said respectfully: "I have seen the old general, the old general is really old and strong, not weak and young." However, the state-owned national law family has family rules, and we also have our own rules in Ningxianglou, enter the door according to the reservation, the old general has used the reserved quota yesterday, and there will definitely be no more today, naturally...... Hehe, the old general, please go back. ”

General Guo said angrily: "What words? What do you mean definitely not? Keep your dog's eyes open and see, what is this?! ”

As he spoke, he took out a gold medal from his arms, and it was really the number in today's limited quota. Don't even ask, this must have been snatched from some unlucky bastard.

Cui Siyuan smiled again and said, "This ...... Even if there were, the old general would not be allowed to enter unless he ...... The old general can pay off yesterday's wine and food, because of the arrears of the old general yesterday, the small one was really punished by the young gentleman, and the small one was also mixed to eat, and I hope the old general will forgive me. ”

General Guo's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he roared: "It's just that I owe a few small money, and when the Sprinkle family has money in the future, I will double it, don't talk nonsense, let the Sprinkle family go in!" Besides, the Sprinkle family hasn't settled accounts with you yet, the wine and food you sell here must have added some poison, otherwise why don't the Sprinkler family think about tea and food after eating, and the women don't want to hug it, just waiting for you to open the door today? ”

Cui Shiyuan shook his head again and said: "Old general, what the old general owes is not a small amount of money, a total of one hundred and thirty-seven spirit stones, tsk, even if you sell the small one, you can't get it." In a word, even if the old general punches the kid here today, the little one can't put you in. ”

"Oops?! Look at the Sprinkle family, it's killing you! ”

General Guo raised his hand violently, but it didn't fall for a long time, he was stunned for a moment, and turned his head and shouted: "Grandma's ball, there is no one who comes up to pull the house?!" Hmph, don't talk nonsense with you little ghost, quickly call your little marquis out, he will definitely not stop the Sprinkle family from entering! ”

Cui Siyuan laughed and said, "This ...... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the young gentleman of this family went back to his house for retreat the day before yesterday, and now he is not in the store, if the old general is willing to wait, the little one can send someone to inform him, what does the old general think? ”

The corners of General Guo's mouth twitched, he was so angry that he really wanted to smash it directly, but ...... There are too many rules in Ningxianglou, not to mention the use of force, even if you touch the bodies of those maids, you will be included in the unwelcome list, and it will stink all over the capital at once, the most important thing is ...... And His Majesty's holy decree is not, who dares to make trouble.

It took a long time before he said, "Okay! Go and call him! The Sprinkle family is waiting here! ”

Princess Wen Hua watched from afar, and couldn't help smacking her tongue for a while, good guy, it costs one hundred and thirty-seven spirit stones for one meal? Who can afford this, and I don't know how much General Guo has eaten...... In other words, even if it is Princess Wenhua's own family, I am afraid that I can't afford to raise him.

Princess Wenhua is in the emperor's family, but after all, she still has a 'maiden family', and her mother, that is, the mother of today's Majesty, is the person who is the current overlord of the Southern Ming Kingdom, the 'Xue family'. The Xue family is not the most powerful in the Southern Ming Kingdom, but it is definitely the richest in the Southern Ming Kingdom. According to folk rumors, the ground in Xue's Mansion is sprinkled with oil! People sprinkle water to eliminate dust, and their family directly poured precious oil on the ground, walking up the clean, smelling the strong fragrance from afar. Just grab a handful of soil and pinch it hard, and the dripping oil is enough to fry a dish.

And the reason why His Majesty stood out among more than a dozen princes and became the emperor was mostly due to the financial resources of the Xue family.

Qing'er grinned, stuck out her tongue at Guo Zhennan and General Guo, and then shaved Cui Siyuan with a big white eye, who hurriedly made way and invited Princess Wenhua and Qing'er in like an ancestor.

Princess Wen Hua walked in the middle of the building, and suddenly her heart moved, so she picked up a menu from the other tables, looked at the food and prices on it, and her heart was shocked. She thought that General Guo had eaten too much to spend so much money, but now she knew it when she looked at the price of each dish...... It's simply that these drinks and dishes are expensive.

Then she suddenly thought of the ones she had eaten, as well as the takeaways, but she hadn't given a penny, and she couldn't help but feel a little sweet in her heart.

When she came, Hua Niang ran over to receive her as soon as possible, and brought her to the Moon Pavilion again. Princess Wen Hua sat on the only futon in the continent and couldn't help asking, "Has the little marquis really returned to the Hou Mansion?" ”

Hua Niang nodded and said: "Distinguished guest, you are really well-informed, the proprietor has indeed returned home, the proprietor said, 'The mountain rain is coming and the wind is full of buildings', his old man has to make full preparations, hehe, those of us who are subordinates naturally don't know what his old man thinks." By the way, the proprietor said that if the guests returned, they would bring a pastry specially made for them. ”

As he spoke, he clapped his hands again, and immediately several maids came in, holding a pure gold square plate with great care, and it was tightly covered. When you open it, you will find square pastries stacked like a pyramid.

Princess Wenhua was very curious, and grabbed it lightly with her hand, but with a little force, she accidentally crushed the pastry, and the powder was scattered, revealing a white crystal luster under the lamp. Smiled awkwardly, gently twisted a piece again and put it in his mouth, and as soon as he touched his tongue, the pastry suddenly melted, as if the first snow had touched his skin. And...... There is a burst of sweetness, sweet and with a strong floral fragrance, in addition to the floral fragrance, it is a piece of cold, refreshing. It can be swallowed almost without chewing.

Princess Wenhua blinked her eyes in a daze, and then smiled lightly and said, "Little Hou Ye has a heart." ”

Hua Niang said with envy on her face: "The proprietor made these pastries with a lot of difficulty, but he made people work hard to find several mysterious things, and locked himself in the treasure house for a day before he made them, and the proprietor is for you...... Hehe, it's really enviable. ”
