After this turmoil in Shengjing City, the civil and military courtiers did not dare to take a breath, and they all kept a low profile, for fear of touching the mold of Emperor Taikang.

Emperor Taikang made up his mind this time, and uprooted the eyeliner of the crown prince and the five princes in the court in one go, and for a while, the officials of the six departments of the Manchu Dynasty were reduced by half.

For half a month in a row, there was a depressing atmosphere in the DPRK and China.

It was not until mid-September, when the victory in the first naval battle was heard from the port of Donghae, that the atmosphere between the DPRK and China improved.

By this time, Lou Zheng had received more than ten letters from Xiao Zhe in the county lord's mansion, but except for the first one, she had not replied.

September 19 is General Lou's 37th birthday, although it is not an integer, but he has led troops to the border for many years, and has never celebrated well for more than ten years, Lou Zheng is thinking about holding a banquet for his father this time.

In addition to inviting some female dependents of officials who are close to the family on weekdays, my father's colleagues and friends in the court are also indispensable.

Lou Zheng prepared twenty gold stickers for his father, sent them to his father's study, and asked him to fill in his friends and distribute them in person when he went to court.

Although General Lou is now in a second-class idle position, but after a while of turmoil in the court, who doesn't know that the lord of Fuchang County has the emperor's attention, and now Lou Zheng helps Emperor Taikang to do weapons and armor as long as he has some ears and eyes, he basically knows in his heart that this used to be the job of the weapons supervisor, in other words. The emperor put the lord of Fuchang into the ordnance prison in disguise, and this is worth it.

And the lord of Fuchang County just arrived at the beginning of the year, which is the age of the family, and the news a while ago that the emperor intended to make the lord of Fuchang County to King Rui the princess has not been heard for so long, and it has long been forgotten.

So some thoughtful people are also starting to move at this time.

It happened that General Lou was about to celebrate his birthday, so he didn't start asking around about the invitations distributed by the county lord's mansion.

Early in the morning of September 19, as soon as the day dawned, Lou Zheng got up and took a few maids to get busy.

In order to celebrate his father, and now there is no shortage of money in hand, Lou Zheng spent half a month preparing for General Lou. Big enough with guest lists. As small as the return gift of the banquet, she basically handled it herself.

In the afternoon, guests came to the county lord's mansion one after another, and Lou Zheng changed into a light red formal dress and went to the front yard to greet the female guests.

Today, not only the eldest princess of Changxi is here, but even Mrs. Anguo, who has not been out for a long time, has also arrived. There are a lot of little girls like the county lord of Huiyi. Some of the big people who didn't have invitations in Shengjing Cat in the house actually came. For example, Taikangdi's aunt, Mrs. Mo, and her aunt, Princess Chang'an......

Lou Zheng's eyes widened in surprise at first, but later when he saw that the pies were bigger than the other, the corners of his mouth twitched and began to numb. Now, even if the queen who is not in good health and has been raising the deep palace for a long time, she will not feel strange when she is present.

Finally settled this big Buddha, Lou Zheng wiped the sweat on his forehead and rushed to the big garden in the backyard.

There are pergolas and soft stools, tables and chairs in the garden, and there are famous singers performing songs and dances on the water platform opposite.

When Lou Zheng arrived at the big garden, it happened to be the time for dessert, and the dessert of today's hospitality was the cake that the medicine slave learned a few days ago, on the round cake, the flowers were made with various colors of cream stained with fruit pigments, which were lifelike, and finally in the middle of the peach flesh, orange petals, lantern fruits and other fruits, cut into fan-shaped pieces and placed in various delicate disks, the tea with the cake was the freshest green tea, not the turbid sencha that the people of the Dawu Dynasty were accustomed to drinking.

As soon as Lou Zheng arrived, Mrs. Mo smiled and beckoned to her to come to her.

Walking over with a smile, Lou Zheng asked, "My father's birthday, Mrs. Lao ran today." ”

Mrs. Mo was a hearty woman when she was young, and immediately smiled: "Your father rarely celebrates well, this is as it should be, you little girl, quickly tell the old body what kind of food this is, how to look so good-looking, there are flowers on it, it smells good, the old body has lived for most of his life, and he doesn't know this thing!" ”

Lou Zheng glanced at the high-ranking and powerful women present, and suddenly seemed to be blessed to the heart, and understood why so many people came today.

Humanity is the four joys of life, "eating, drinking and having fun", since this food is the first place, it naturally has its reason.

Although the diet of the upper class nobles of the Dawu Dynasty is more than ten grades higher than that of the common people, it is still far from that of later generations, and I am afraid that the diet of ordinary people in later generations is richer than that of today's nobles.

Food is a major event, and Xungui pays more attention to food.

And now the folk customs pay attention to the secret recipe, most of the broom self-cherished, it is this kind of environment, this family of food is so fast.

When she was in Liangzhou, Steward Wu once accompanied her shopping, and Lou Zheng heard Steward Wu tell her such a story.

There is a family in Dongmen Lane, Liangzhou, good at making pot helmets, there are more than 100 people who line up to buy pot helmets in front of his house every morning, and this family has been passed on for three generations by selling pot helmets.

This shows how precious it is to master a secret recipe in this Great Martial Dynasty.

Most of these noble ladies in Shengjing City are old, and even some of them have no family affairs, only at home to care for the elderly, they are all desireless, it is rare to have something to stir the heartstrings, and now it is not just for food to come to the Fuchang County Lord's Mansion.

Although they are ready to move because of the food, they are all etiquette and discipline, and they will not do anything to find the secret recipe in person, so if they want to eat, they can only go to the master's house with a cheeky face.

Thinking about how the reputation of the fine food of the Fuchang County Lord's Mansion spread, Lou Zheng thought of his father's friends who often came to eat......

It must be these big mouths.

Lou Zheng couldn't help crying and laughing, she made some strange food, thinking that it should be appropriate to the occasion and enjoyed it at home, but she didn't expect to put it on the edge of the pond and catch so many big turtles......

Facing Mrs. Mo, who was a head shorter than even the princess, Lou Zheng had to explain carefully, "Mrs. Hui, this is called a cake, which is made of flour and milk, soft and fragrant, and can be eaten even by the elderly and children with bad teeth, but if you eat too much, you will get tired, and it should be accompanied by greasy tea." ”

Hearing her explain, Mrs. Mo nodded, her age was there, and she lost two teeth in her mouth, and she had long since stopped eating hard things, but now this is called a cake that is very suitable for her.

I dug a bite with a beautiful small magnetic spoon and put it into my mouth, and a pair of wrinkled eyes instantly lit up, and then praised again and again.

The county lord of Huiyi, who was sitting next to the princess of Chang'an, looked at Lou Zheng again and again, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that Lou Zheng was suitable for his brother, filial piety and intelligence, and he could cook food, and he was also beautiful.

Princess Chang'an glanced at the county lord of Huiyi, and there was a smile in the corner of her eyes, "Fuchang is now in time, right, but there is someone who agrees?" ”

Where did Lou Zheng know that this group of noble ladies mentioned her marriage while eating, although she and Xiao Zhe's marriage was decided, but after all, it had not been announced, where was the good thing to say from her mouth, so she could only shake her head helplessly.

got Lou Zheng's answer, Princess Chang'an didn't say anything, just looked at her and smiled, and Lou Zheng was covered in hair.

Here Lou Zheng was talking with a room of bigwigs, and Lu Qiao came to inform her, "County Lord, Mr. Yaowang has arrived at the house!" ”

Master is here!

Lou Zheng couldn't hold back his excitement, but when he thought that there was a group of female dependents here, he immediately didn't want to greet the master in person, and was about to tell Lu Qiao to find Han Di to arrange it, when he heard Mrs. Mo beside him say, "Oh? The King of Medicine? Fuchang, let your people invite the Medicine King, we haven't seen each other for many years. ”

Mrs. Mo was stunned by one sentence, could it be that Mrs. Mo still has an old relationship with Master?

Thinking of the age of Mr. Yaowang, who was already past the age of men and women who needed to be guarded against, he didn't think much about it, confessed, and personally went to invite the master over.
