Chapter 90: The Great Feast
Early in the morning, the Chen family had already begun to work in Erpigou.
The third uncle felt that he was young again, and suddenly, surrounded by many dignitaries and wealthy businessmen, the third uncle suddenly felt that life began to become meaningful.
It's just that...... Knowing that Erpigou was going to kill the pig as a guest for the banquet, this guest was still the emperor, which made the third uncle a little worried.
Pork is so fishy, can it be eaten by the emperor? He was very flustered, isn't this Zhengtai Hu Lai?
The third uncle found Chen Zhengtai in a hurry, pulled Chen Zhengtai's clothes, and said earnestly.
"Zhengtai, it's not the old man who interferes with you, you are the head of the family, of course, you have the final say in everything, but what about it...... Inviting the emperor to Erpigou may not be a good thing, if the hospitality is not good, His Majesty will inevitably alienate you. Even if it is in line with His Majesty's wishes, how much more can this add to His Majesty's favor for you? It's just a banquet, and Your Majesty won't favor you more because of this. Let alone...... Where is there a banquet for such a distinguished guest, but it is a pig killing? In the future, it's better to discuss these things with the old man, I have lived a long time......"
Chen Zhengtai only smiled at the third uncle, and then said word by word: "The third uncle is right, but ...... If this banquet can be held, our Chen family may have another livelihood and can make a lot of money. ”
Yes...... Strive...... Big...... Money......
As soon as he heard these four words, the third uncle's words stopped abruptly, and the worried face suddenly appeared with joy, he didn't ask for details, Zhengtai didn't say anything else, the third uncle admired it very much in terms of making money.
It is admired from the bottom of my heart.
As long as CHINT says it can make money, it will definitely do.
Therefore, a smile broke out on his wrinkled face: "Ah, I see, old man...... The old man went to the kitchen to see how the pigs were killed. ”
said nothing more, and almost jumped up, and left in a hurry.
In fact, the matter of the banquet was all about the Chen family, Chen Zhengtai just sat back and enjoyed it, thinking that the holy car would arrive soon, Chen Zhengtai had to recuperate first.
The third uncle arrived in the back kitchen, and here, a big fat pig was pulled out.
The butcher has sharpened his knives.
As instructed, he tied the fat pig to death, and then stabbed it into the throat of the fat pig, and put a basin under his head, and the pig's blood flowed into the basin like a fountain.
Chen Fu was also here, and kept saying: "Childe said, this blood must be cleaned." ”
The butchers were amazed: "This pig is really fat, I'm afraid it hasn't been raised for two years." ”
On the other side, someone whimpered, it was Chen Zhengde, Chen Zhengde reluctantly sent the pig, his eyes were red, he kept wiping his tears, and said vaguely: "My pig, my pig ......"
The third uncle originally had a smile on his face, since he became the president of the construction guild, and now he feels proud of the spring breeze, when he heard the cry, he saw Chen Zhengde wiping his tears in the corner, and he was stunned for a while.
He is both distressed and annoyed, look at the people Zhengtai, and then look at you.
They are all descendants of the Chen family, why are you so unproductive.
Pig...... This pig raising is a cheap business, let you raise pigs is Zhengtai's problem, but you raise pigs and raise pigs out of feelings, you ...... You......
The third uncle gritted his teeth and picked up Chen Zhengde, seeing that he was smelly all over his body, where did he look like his grandson, he couldn't help but scold.
"I don't have a grandson like you, your father and mother went early, and the old man worked hard to raise you, and he didn't point to you for being promising, but what are you doing all day long, embarrassing things......"
Many people were on the sidelines, looking at this pair of grandchildren, and many people were snickering.
The third uncle felt even more disgraced, and he was also a person with a head and a face in the Chen family......
He actually has such a stupid grandson.
It's really over......
Finished!
He sighed heavily, shook his head, and left.
…………
The holy car finally arrived, and the mighty men and horses arrived at Erpigou.
Chen Zhengtai had already put on his court clothes, and together with his father Chen Jiye, he personally arrived in front of the chariot, and the two said respectfully: "The minister (student) greets His Majesty (teacher)." ”
Immediately, Li Shimin got off the chariot, and then helped the eldest grandson queen out.
Chen Zhengtai didn't expect that Empress Changsun would also come here, but when she saw Empress Changsun's face strained, as if she had something on her mind, she glanced at Chen Zhengtai and his son, Li Shimin was only silent, and only waited for Empress Changsun to write lightly: "No need to be polite." ”
Her voice was soft, different from the attitude she had had in the last rage.
However, Chen Zhengtai could feel the resentment of Empress Eldest Sun towards him.
Chen Zhengtai smiled and said: "The master is also here, and the teacher has been saying in front of the students that the master is the most beautiful woman in the world, and the students are ......."
Li Shimin forced a smile on his face, but remained silent.
Empress Eldest Sun interrupted: "This palace has its own number in its heart, and what Your Majesty said, there is no need for Chen Qing to relay it." ”
Chen Zhengtai said: "Yes, the students are really damned...... My wife is simple and unwilling to listen to these words, which shows that my wife is a person who knows right from wrong. ”
Empress Eldest Sun wanted to reprimand her, but she couldn't help but sigh, and said suddenly: "This palace knows that Chen Qing is panicking now, and I am afraid that this palace will condemn you......"
She paused, and then said calmly: "But Chen Qing rest assured, Cheng Qian fell and injured himself, this is the godson of this palace, he is too arrogant to him on weekdays, this palace thinks about it, this matter has nothing to do with the Chen family after all, you don't have to worry about it." ”
Chen Zhengtai couldn't help but think in his heart, Empress Eldest Sun was really as generous as the legend, and she still understood things very well.
But at this time...... Although she said so, Empress Changsun may not have no complaints in her heart, so Chen Zhengtai said: "My mother is magnanimous and unprecedented, and the students look up to Mu for their grace, and it is difficult to repay them in the third life." ”
Seeing this Chen Zhengtai's sincere and frightened look, even if Empress Eldest Sun has great resentment, it is not easy to attack. But no matter what, after all, Li Chengqian's own death was the case, not to mention, Li Chengqian's leg was lame, even if Chen Zhengtai instigated the emperor to go to Li Chengqian's knife, which made Li Chengqian suffer a lot, but now Li Chengqian still left his life after all, and he is still lame.
It's just that thinking of her son like this, the eldest grandson queen is even more melancholy, and her heart seems to be blocked by something, but she is the mother of the country, and of course she can't show it in front of everyone's eyes, so she still looks calm and enters the banquet hall with Li Shimin.
This banquet hall was built in more than a month.
At that time, Erpigou had manpower, and a large number of houses and schools were built in Erpigou.
But...... It still looks shabby.
Fortunately, for Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, this decoration is simple, but it is exactly what they want.
The banquet hall was large enough to hold a hundred people, and the ministers also came in one after another, all of them like stakes, all with straight faces, and they were silent.
Recently, the country has been in trouble, many people are worried, and they don't have much thought, especially after the crown prince is lame, which makes many people realize that the originally stable court may be reshuffled at any time.
After all...... If there is a problem with the crown prince, it means that the stable situation originally laid out by His Majesty has been broken, and in the future, I am afraid that in order to rearrange His Majesty, the honor and disgrace of countless people will also change.
Everybody's preoccupied.
Li Shimin and Empress Changsun sat upright, and Chen Zhengtai stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that this whole pig banquet will need to wait for a while." ”
Li Shimin nodded: "No hurry." ”
In fact, everyone didn't have the heart to eat this whole pig feast.
Pig is something eaten by the common people, and the taste is really unpalatable, Li Shimin is just fulfilling his promise.
The atmosphere was very awkward at the moment.
Finally, at this time, the servants began to serve the first course.
Pork bone broth.
