Chapter 215: Chinese New Year's Eve
Li Rao was happy because the old emperor actually handed over the matter of selecting salt merchants to him after the year, and this kind of fat difference is obviously to make a lot of oil and water, and it is indeed false to say that he is not happy. No, looking at Wang Ruzhen, who has always been a little disgusted next to him, now he also feels that her dress can get into his eyes, and even with a little appreciation in her tone: "This wine and food are good." ”
When Wang Ruzhen heard this, she immediately smiled and said, "Master, this is what my brother brought here, and it was specially ordered from Phoenix Restaurant, so I will try it." As he spoke, he sandwiched a piece of eight-treasure tofu.
Li Changqing looked at Wang Ruzhen wearing the clothes made of the Splendid Pavilion, and his eyes were smiling.
Obviously, Bai Ruge did it very successfully.
Because it was the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, even the old lady was pushed out and sat in the right seat, and Bai Zhu was waiting beside her. Li Changmou actually sat next to Li Changqing today, and even talked a lot less, Xu was frightened by Li Changqing last time, and such a scandal made him more timid now.
On the other hand, Li Changhong sat calmly in his seat, looking down at the food in the bowl, but he didn't know, and he couldn't see what he was thinking.
However, Li Changqing finally turned his eyes and looked at Liu Ruyan.
Today's Liu Ruyan is almost six months pregnant, and her body is getting heavier and heavier. Because of Li Rao's permission, he sat on the other side of Li Rao, and Toon and Xia He sat next to Liu Ruyan. It's just that there was a hint of longing in the eyes of the two, and they kept throwing flattering glances at Li Rao.
And Li Rao somehow? Today's Dao is extraordinarily important, Wang Ruzhen.
Li Changqing specially ordered the food to be more delicate today, in fact, the food on weekdays is already exquisite, but today there are a few more dishes, and dumplings are added, and the steaming noodle soup is also a little mouthwatering.
Li Rao said a few thoughtful words in front of everyone, and then rewarded one of his subordinates with golden melon seeds, and everyone got red envelopes, and they kept the New Year happily one by one.
The atmosphere in the whole hall was extremely harmonious, and even the old lady was wearing a crimson short jacket today, looking more energetic than usual.
It would be best if this big year had been like this, but after eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Li Changmou's face was actually pale and miserable, and he began to break out in a cold sweat, and after a while, he foamed at the mouth.
Everyone panicked all of a sudden, but fortunately, the doctor in the house brought his wife and children to the Li Mansion this year, and found the doctor to come over, but said that it was food poisoning, which was caused by such food discomfort.
Li Changqing was a little puzzled, this little overlord was very healthy on weekdays, how could he be so weak now, besides, the food in the Li Mansion was all tried by Yinzhen, and suddenly food poisoning was a bit nonsense.
Li Changqing thought like this here, and Wang Ruzhen over there looked anxious, and suddenly asked with anger on her face, "What did the second young master eat just now?" ”
The little girl who was waiting for the vegetables next to her immediately knelt on the ground with a "poof", and hurriedly replied to Wang Ruzhen: "The slave has short arms, and only gives the young master a few small dishes that are close to him, that is, a soup dumpling, a piece of steamed pork, and a lean white rice porridge on behalf of the young master. ”
Wang Ruzhen was suddenly annoyed, turned to Li Rao and said: "These dishes are brought by my brother from the Phoenix Restaurant, and they are not even opened, because although the dishes in the Phoenix Restaurant are simple, they are better than the exquisite taste, my brother brought them for us to taste, but I didn't expect this to be such a scene now?" As he spoke, he glanced at Li Changmou and burst into tears.
Li Rao was a little drunk, but now that his second son had an accident, most of them woke up.
Hurriedly asked the doctor: "How is he now?" ”
The doctor shook his head and said, "The situation is not very good, I can only prescribe some medicine to force out some poison first, and then force some more needles to the second young master, so I have to repeat it four or five times, and I have to take medicine to wash my stomach and intestines. ”
It is the Chinese New Year's Eve that something happens at home, and if something bad happens, it will definitely be a bad thing in the coming year.
Li Rao is a superstitious person, his original good mood was mixed up by Li Changmou, but now he was not very irritable when he looked at Wang Ruzhen's accusation, but when he turned his head, he saw Li Changqing sitting there calmly, as if there was nothing at all, and he couldn't help but feel angry: "How did you act as a sister-in-law?" Your brother has an accident, and you still walk there leisurely? ”
Li Changqing's eyes were cold and said: "The doctor said it clearly, I can't help it in a hurry, it's better to send Changmou back to the house to rest first, so that the doctor can quickly administer the needle to save people, and if it goes on like this, it will only delay the condition." Li Changqing gave a pertinent answer as soon as he spoke.
Seeing this, Wang Ruzhen first agreed, and then said: "Doctor, go and see, is there poison in this food?" ”
The doctor nodded, and then tried a few times with a silver needle, but it was very bright, and when he took it out, he accidentally touched the outside of the millet porridge bowl, but when he saw the silver needle, it immediately turned black.
couldn't help but change his expression and said: "This bowl is poisonous." ”
Wang Ruzhen's face changed suddenly, and she said to Li Rao: "Master, this bowl is from Phoenix Restaurant, when my brother brought the food box, it was sealed on the outside, and there was a seal. Unexpectedly, they actually wanted to harm us? Wang Ruzhen said, grabbed Li Rao's arm, and said anxiously: "I beg the master to tell Jing Zhaoyin and let the Phoenix Restaurant be investigated and punished." ”
Li Changqing's eyes narrowed, she didn't expect Wang Ruzhen to say so much, she was actually waiting here, it turned out that she wanted to slander Phoenix Restaurant, but what good did this do to her?
Using Li Changmou's body as bait, her own son can do it, but it is difficult for her to be a mother.
Li Changqing's face was cold, and when he looked at Wang Ruzhen, he had a little more disdain.
"Dare to ask my aunt, why does Phoenix Restaurant want to harm Changmou? Besides, I've heard that Phoenix Restaurant has only risen in recent months. ”
Wang Ruzhen was dumbfounded, but soon, she found an excuse, "You say this to excuse Phoenix Restaurant?" Or is your brother's life worse than a small restaurant? ”
Wang Ruzhen's blood has reached the point of perfection, which inevitably makes Li Changqing a little unbearable.
After Wang Ruzhen finished speaking, she shouted at Li Raojiao squeamishly: "Master-"
Li Rao glared at Li Changqing with some annoyance and said, "You kid, your aunt is also thinking about Changmou's body, if there is a problem with this meal, you should always find them to find reason." ”
When Li Changqing heard this, he was silent, it seems that Wang Kun is not just delivering food today, she saw this twist, there must be some traps waiting for her behind.
It's just that when I think of Wang Kun, I suddenly thought of a little, no wonder Wang Ruzhen kept asking Li Rao to find Jing Zhaoyin to investigate and deal with Phoenix Restaurant, which originally affected Wang Kun's business, and couldn't help but deepen his eyes a little, and then he really didn't speak, what should he do if he looked at Li Rao?
Li Rao'er was really happy today, but he really didn't want to make such a disgusting scene on Chinese New Year's Eve, and he always wanted to suppress it in his heart, so he said: "It's so late, first look at Changmou's body, let's press it first, this matter, which big New Year's Eve trouble goes to Yamen?" ”
"But, master, this can't be cheap Phoenix Restaurant, in the end, Changmou ate their food and had an accident, if the master doesn't care like this, if there are people who eat food and are poisoned in the future, wouldn't it be a disaster to the world? It's better for the master to deal with it today, report this matter to the emperor, and in the future, the Tao will be to purge these evil businessmen who don't know what to do. ”
After Li Changqing heard this, he only thought of two words: amazing.
Of course, this is to say that Wang Ruzhen's eloquence is really white and black for her, just like how white she and her brother are, in fact, they are a wolf in sheep's clothing, and they are not as good as animals.
Speaking of evil businessmen, even if they are the best in the entire Shangjing, they are the Wang family, and now they are putting it out and saying that the Tao is a little sneering.
However, Li Rao is now carried away by interests, and when he heard Wang Ruzhen say this, he also had a new idea, so he asked Li Changmou to be brought down, and then photographed someone to find Jing Zhaoyin.
Jing Zhaoyin has been in the Li Mansion many times this year, and now he is also familiar with the car, and when he arrived at the Li Mansion and returned the salute to Prime Minister Li Cheng, Li Rao Dao didn't say anything, so that Wang Ruzhen said the previous words again, and Jing Zhaoyin took away all the food on the table from the Phoenix Restaurant, and when he left, when he passed Li Changqing, Li Changqing reminded Jing Zhaoyin with words that only the two of them could hear: "I advise Lord Zhaoyin to stop in moderation, don't mistake it for someone else's chess piece." ”
After speaking, Li Changqing lowered his head, and when Jing Zhaoyin turned his head to look at her, he could only see her side face, but he couldn't figure out the meaning of what she said for a while, but he also had scruples in his heart.
Naturally, there was such a scene at night, and the people were originally given a golden melon seed, but after this incident, the Tao made the New Year's flavor lighter, and everyone took the opportunity to go back to the house.
Mrs. Li sat there, only her eyes moved around, and her face turned dark, so she must be in a bad mood.
Li Changqing said that he was not afraid that Jing Zhaoyin would investigate and deal with something, Wang Ruzhen was just making the Phoenix Restaurant have a bad reputation and destroying the restaurant for her brother. However, this Jing Zhaoyin is an iron-faced and selfless person, and he will not be so easy to fool after all.
At the last moment of the New Year, Xuanyuan Qi secretly ran over from the banquet in the palace.
Because everyone is tired, only Li Changqing is sitting at the table writing the last few pages of the scriptures in Tingfeng Pavilion, this is to be given to Master Hongfa, she copied it for more than two months, all written with gold powder, and now this is the sixth book, this unique book, in the whole world, only Li Changqing knows.
In her previous life, in order to echo Xuanyuan Chu's enthusiasm for Buddhist scriptures, she got this unique Buddha from a strange person and recited the scriptures for Xuanyuan Chu every day. Later, although after her death, this lone book was also burned, but the scriptures in it, she rarely remembered it clearly.
Now that these pages are copied, she is ready to sleep, but her eyes are dark, and her eyes suddenly have a cool and soft feeling, and the corners of her mouth can't help but curl, "Why are you here?" ”
