Chapter 352: Preparation
In the dark kitchen, Tan's face is very ugly, she is also from a famous family, but she doesn't mind that her daughter-in-law can't cook, but the problem is not here.
Xiao Qi stood aggrievedly aggrieved, not to mention the previous life, even in this life, he had never cooked, and he didn't know until he was reminded a few days ago that he was cheated by his mother's family.
When the young lady of the family went out of the pavilion, the maids and servants around her were all standard, personal service, clothing, accounts, and the bottom of the box, and naturally there were also stoves, but the food in the garden was too good, and Xu Fu simply saved the last one.
Qian Yuan was also speechless, in fact, there is a kitchen in the outer courtyard, and the mother has to toss her daughter-in-law to do anything, and Xiao Qi is too, if you burn the kitchen once, you have to burn it a second time.
"Ahem." Qian Yuan coughed twice, didn't bother to pay attention to his mother who was still complaining and Xiao Qi, who was sulking, called his mother-in-law to make a fire, and fried a few dishes quickly.
"Mother likes spicy food." Qian Yuan persuaded: "Taizhou is very humid, eat more chili peppers." ”
Chili peppers are already famous in the capital, Qian Yuan once counted, and in his previous life, he likes to eat spicy food the most in Huguang, Sichuan and Jiangxi, Tan's taste is very heavy, and Xiaomei and Huang's are not too spicy.
Seeing his son flattering himself, Tan's face finally looked a little better, and then looked at the dishes on the table that he liked to eat, and his eyebrows danced...... Xiao Qi on the side can only comfort herself, this kind of mother-in-law is quite easy to deal with.
After eating, he talked with him for a while, and the Tan family's psychology of serving was relaxed, so Qian Yuan went back to the kitchen and got a boiled fish fillet to take back to the yard.
"Count you on a little conscience!" Xiao Qi ate a layer of oil on her lips, she likes to eat chili peppers more than Tan's, there were no chili peppers some time ago, and a batch was not sent from Hangzhou until a few days ago, and today the dinner table is suffocated.
"Be considerate, there's no way to do it, she's not bad, she's just a bit stereotypical." Qian Yuan was playing with a pale green inkstone in his hand, which was a cultural relic that Yan Song gave him during the Chinese New Year and was passed down to future generations to enter the National Museum, "But if it was a previous life, you and my mother would definitely be able to talk." ”
"Of course." Xiao Qi snorted, "My aunt and I have met a long time ago, by the way, my aunt asked you to come on a blind date, and you pushed again and again...... If your aunt hadn't said she was sick, you wouldn't have come. ”
"Hey, it's all my mother's fault, otherwise we wouldn't have fallen to such a point if we met at another time!"
"If I am fallen, you may not be." Xiao Qi wiped his mouth, "I guess you are beautiful in your heart, in the past, even if you have money, dare to lead Xiao San around in front of his wife?" ”
"What do you say, I'm that kind of person!"
"Who knows?" Xiao Qi took the towel handed by Qian Yuan to wipe his sweat, "You don't have to worry about women's affairs, I will take care of it." ”
Qian Yuan squinted his eyes, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a hint of curvature, "That is, get up early and learn to cook?" ”
Xiao Qi glared angrily, "You, do you really think she wants me to learn how to cook?" ”
Qian Yuan was stunned, this is true, the Qian family is a scholarly family, and there are seven or eight big and small maids around Xiao Qi, where is there any need to cook.
Xiao Qi glanced at Qian Yuan, it has been nearly two months, and the head-on conflict between himself and the Tan family is actually only because of one thing, the Tan family wants to stuff two rooms for his son, and this is absolutely intolerable to Xiao Qi today.
In the final analysis, the three views do not agree, the Tan family wants to suppress the daughter-in-law, and adopts the most common method used by the mother-in-law in this era, which is difficult for Xiao Qi and Qian Yuan to accept...... Well, maybe Qian Yuan's acceptance is slightly higher, but he can't show it in front of Xiao Qi.
After the conflict more than half a month ago, the Tan family was keenly aware of the attitude of Qian Yuan and his wife, and no longer mentioned the matter of intercourse, but turned to other aspects...... And Xiao Qi also complied, at least he wouldn't refute it.
"You don't care about such trivial things, I don't want to be changed by this era, but I have to integrate into this era, you men, you always want to change this era when you encounter this situation." Xiao Qi tilted his head and thought for a while, "I heard you say that day, the southeast anti-Japanese war is no longer the same as the historical process?" ”
Qian Yuan was silent for a moment and nodded, "Before entering Beijing, there was not much change, at most, Qi Jiguang entered Zhejiang ahead of schedule, Hu Zongxian ascended the throne in advance, and then the changes were great, the Qi family army should have come out in advance, and the most important thing is that there should have been no large-scale conflict in Wang Zhi and Xu Hai's previous life......
"Actually, Taizhou is the location I have chosen a long time ago, and I will come regardless of whether my mother has moved to Taizhou or not."
Xiao Qi took a large teacup and drank a few sips of herbal tea, "By the way, you said on the way to Taizhou before that Qi Jiguang was in Taizhou in history, is it because of this?" ”
"There is also Tan Lun, who is also a famous anti-Japanese general in history, and Qi Jiguang is called 'Qi Tan', and later promoted to the governor of Fujian, and once again cooperated with Qi Jiguang to suppress the Japanese." Qian Yuan said casually: "There are only a few famous anti-Japanese generals who have made great contributions in history, except for Qi Tan, there are only Yu Dayou and Lu Bo, and Taizhou is unique, which means that Taizhou is likely to be the main area for the next Japanese invasion." ”
Glancing at Xiao Qi, Qian Yuan said with a smile: "Don't worry, the historical trend may be deviated, and Taizhou City has not been breached in history, let alone the Qi family's army." ”
Xiao Qi was silent for a moment, "That's why you chose Taizhou?" ”
"More than that." Qian Yuan pulled Xiao Qi to sit down, "The most important thing is Tang Shunzhi." ”
"Jing Chuan Gong?" Tang Shunzhi's black and thin body appeared in Xiao Qi's mind, "He's amazing?" ”
"From a literary point of view, it is already very remarkable, the so-called Tang and Song Dynasty Eight Masters come from him, and he is still a school of mind." Qian Yuan said slowly: "But that's not what I like. ”
"Two years ago, I fought side by side in Chongde County, and then Tang Shunzhi moved to Taizhou Tongzhi, and I have been in correspondence, and he may be the one who best meets the standards."
"What standard?" Xiao Qi asked curiously.
"In the face of the Japanese rebellion in the southeast, the countermeasures he proposed were quite different from those of other civil and military officials, and he suggested that the new army be trained, more training, and supplementary food and salary, which were still ordinary, but in addition, he emphasized the use of time to keep the enemy at sea, open the sea and prohibit trade routes, so that bandits could turn to business ......
Qian Yuan finally came to a conclusion, "If I want to make some preparations in Taizhou...... To change the preparation of this era, Tang Shunzhi may be able to help. ”
In fact, Tang Shunzhi is indeed a rare person in this era, who can be compared with Qian Yuan, a traverser, in terms of thinking.
In the past thousands of years, countless high-ranking people and civilians would only look down at the land under their feet, but at the critical moment of the southeast war, for the first time in Chinese history, a foreign enemy invaded from the sea, and people like Tang Shunzhi raised their heads.
They see the crisis, but also the opportunity, but also the infinite possibilities.
According to historical records, Tang Shunzhi led the Ming army to the sea many times by boat, and finally died of illness at sea, and said when he was dying, "Died in battle, died loyal to the enemy, or died at sea, all three have no regrets." ”
"Alright, you can rest." Qian Yuan pushed Xiao Qi to take a nap, asked his subordinates to clean up the table, drank a bowl of mung bean soup by himself, and split a watermelon with Yang Wen and Zhang San, and then went out to the mansion.
At this time, Qian Yuan didn't know that the great war that swept the southeast was about to kick off, and the unknown legend he staged in this storm was officially staged from this time. (Recommended reading: Reading Files 2013)
