Volume 1 Above the Temple Chapter 78 Going to the Banquet (1)
Mu Qiuhuang thought that after Wuxin broke the killing ring, he would break the shackles in his heart and go further, but he never thought that the killing would affect Wuxin's heart, and finally became an unintentional demon. Although Wuxin acted relatively calm that night, Wuxin locked himself alone in the house for the next few days, not eating, drinking, sleeping, or sleeping...... After three days like this, he had no intention of saying goodbye to Mu Qiuhuang that he was going back to Futu Temple to cleanse his demons. In the face of his unintentional resignation, Mu Qiuhuang did not keep it, but gave him enough entanglement and sent it out of the city...... After sending Wuxin away, Mu Qiuhuang remembered that if Wuxin was calculated according to age, he would actually be just a child.
After leaving unintentionally, Mu Qiuhuang's days in Kyoto are still very busy. Su Xiaoxiao would collect all the information of the court officials in Kyoto who had collected more than five grades in Kyoto every day and report it to Mu Qiuhuang for knowledge, and Mu Qiuhuang would analyze the likes and dislikes of these officials according to the collected information, so that they could be used for great use in the future...... In addition to being busy with these business, Mu Qiuhuang will also go to the Taishi Mansion for banquets from time to time. I don't know what Situ Luqi thinks? Since that meeting with Mu Qiuhuang, the next step is to invite each other every once in a while, although Mu Qiuhuang is a little reluctant to do this, but it is not good to brush the face of the Taishi Mansion. Although Situ Buqi is now a cloth cloth, anyone with a bit of status knows that if Situ Buqi wants to make a comeback, it will be easy...... Therefore, no one dared to lose respect for him.
……
……
Not long after lunch, Mu Qiuhuang began to bathe and change clothes...... After an hour, when he came out of his room, he was already dressed up in a bright and heroic manner.
"Yo! Why is Childe dressed up so flamboyant today? But I was going to meet the eldest lady of the Situ family again...... "Su Xiaoxiao saw Mu Qiuhuang from afar and began to laugh.
Mu Qiuhuang has long been surprised by this, although he and Su Xiaoxiao are masters and servants, but in these daily lives, the two often joke with each other, big or small, and get along very well...... It's just that since Mu Qiuhuang and Situ Luqi have met frequently, Su Xiaoxiao's tone of voice to Mu Qiuhuang has a little more indescribable anger, but these angers are not very obvious, at least Mu Qiuhuang is not aware of it at all.
"What? Seeing my son, I dressed up brightly and glamorously to see Miss Situ, are you jealous? Mu Qiuhuang raised his eyebrows and smiled at Su Xiaoxiao.
"Where is Xiaoxiao qualified to be jealous! Xiaoxiao is just a dusty woman, how can she compare with the daughter of the Situ family? Su Xiaoxiao pretended to complain.
When Mu Qiuhuang saw her appearance, she was also angry and said, "Is there anything else you dare not do?" Last time, you asked me to help me pick a gift for Miss Situ, but it turned out that you were good, and the money to buy rouge gouache for yourself is more expensive than the one that Miss Situ picked for others......"
Su Xiaoxiao listened to Mu Qiuhuang revisiting the old things, and couldn't help but hide her face and chuckle, and said proudly while laughing: "That's no wonder Xiaoxiao, it was Gongzi who personally told Xiaoxiao to the little novel that day, and let Xiaoxiao pick it casually, Xiaoxiao didn't expect that the set of rouge gouache she picked would be more expensive than the one given to Miss Situ." ”
Mu Qiuhuang scoffed at Su Xiaoxiao's explanation, rolled his eyes and said, "The ghost believes that you don't know?" ”
Seeing that Mu Qiuhuang was just recalling the past without the slightest sense of anger, Su Xiaoxiao was very happy in her heart, and stepped forward with a shy face and continued: "Childe is dressed so solemnly today, it can be seen that this date with Miss Situ is extraordinary...... Do you want to pick another gift for Miss Situ? I know there is a good jade shop that sells jewelry, do you want me to take my son to have a look? ”
Mu Qiuhuang saw Su Xiaoxiao's appearance, and said angrily: "If you want to, just say it, what is Miss Situ going to do...... Say, what do you like about that piece of jewelry? If you have to be free, my son will buy it and send it to you. ”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled when she heard this: "Xiaoxiao just wants to touch Miss Situ's light, how dare Lao Gongzi give Xiaoxiao a gift alone......"
"So you really don't want it? It's okay not to, but it saved Ben Gongzi a sum of money. Mu Qiuhuang looked at Su Xiaoxiao playfully and said.
"Yes, I want!"
Su Xiaoxiao saw that Mu Qiuhuang didn't plan to send it, so she hurriedly said: "The son said that he wanted to buy it and give it to the little one, how can he regret it?" ”
"You didn't say it yourself, but you only dared to touch Miss Situ's light ......?" Mu Qiuhuang retorted with a smile.
"Xiaoxiao is joking, Childe took the initiative to give a small gift, Xiaoxiao is fortunate to have three lives, where is there any reason to refuse? Besides, don't be in vain, don't be ......" Su Xiaoxiao said with a smile, looking at Mu Qiuhuang with longing in her eyes: "Xiaoxiao fell in love with a purple jade hairpin from their family, when will the son buy it and give it to me?" ”
"I don't have time today, I'm going to go to Ji Yan's Tianxiangju banquet soon...... Mu Qiuhuang explained.
"It turns out that Childe is going to do business! Xiaoxiao still thinks that Childe is going to meet a beautiful woman? Su Xiao laughed.
Mu Qiuhuang said angrily: "Don't you know what I'm going to do? When have you ever seen me take Miss Szeto so seriously? ”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled silently when he heard this, and only after a while did he continue to remind: "Childe, don't forget to promise to give the little purple jade hairpin......
Mu Qiuhuang was puzzled when he saw Su Xiaoxiao's appearance: "I have never seen you so greedy for money!" How can you remind a jade hairpin again and again? Tell me how much that jade hairpin is? I'll give you the money now, and you can buy it yourself. ”
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Mu Qiuhuang with some displeasure when she heard this, and said angrily: "Who wants the son's money?" It's not that you don't have the money to buy it? ”
Seeing this, Mu Qiuhuang looked at Gui with a puzzled face and said angrily: "Is there any difference between me going to buy a jade hairpin for you, and I will directly take the money to buy a jade hairpin for you?" ”
"Of course there's a difference." Su Xiaoxiao said angrily.
"Isn't that different? I have to spend money on the left and right, what difference can I make? Mu Qiuhuang was still confused.
Just as he was about to argue with Su Xiaoxiao about right and wrong, Ling Huyu suddenly walked in and reported to Mu Qiuhuang: "The carriage is ready, it's time to set off." ”
Seeing this, Mu Qiuhuang was too lazy to argue with Su Xiaoxiao, turned his head and said to Su Xiaoxiao: "When I come back from the banquet, I will buy it and send it to you." ”
After that, he walked out with Ling Huji.
Su Xiaoxiao stayed in place and stared at Mu Qiuhuang's back, thinking about what he had just said, his face was slightly red and full of pleasure.
————————————————————————————————
When it is close to the last day, the heavy snow in the imperial capital is also suddenly stopped, there is no law at all, the temperature in Fengling City is cold, and the high-rise buildings along the street are hung with red lights, and the bright lights are bright.
The place where Ji Yan set up a banquet was in Tianxiangju, although Mu Qiuhuang had not been to this place before, but he had already heard the name of this Tianxiangju, when he went to Taishi's Mansion for the first time, the last dish "three sets of duck" that Situ Buqi invited him to eat was made by the chef of Tianxiangju...... I have to say, the taste of that dish is really good.
……
Tianxiangju is located in the south of the city of Zhuque Street, it is rumored that the founder of this Tianxiangju is the special imperial kitchen of the period of Emperor Longqian, and later after the death of Emperor Longqian, Emperor Longshuo felt that his hard work was high and authorized him to return to his hometown...... Subsequently, the imperial chef opened this tenkaya in Kyoto. There are more rumors that Emperor Longshuo also sneaked out of the palace many times during his reign to dine in this Tianxiangju, after these rumors, Tianxiangju is also rising with the tide, in addition to only receiving high-ranking officials and nobles, there is a famous saying that circulates outside, "When you enter Tianxiangju, there are only dishes that you can't think of, and there are no dishes that Tianxiangju can't make." Is this statement true or false? But no one has ever discerned. According to those officials who were fortunate enough to eat the imperial banquet, in addition to a few dishes with obvious prohibitions that they dare not make, the dishes that can be made in the imperial dining room can also be made in Tianxiang Curie, and the taste is the same as that of the imperial dining room...... Therefore, this Tianxiangju is also different from other restaurants in that it integrates food and accommodation, and Tianxiangju only provides meals and does not provide accommodation.
But even so, Tianxiangju has captured the stomach of a large number of guests because of its excellent geographical location and outstanding taste, and there are many guests in the city every day.
However, today, Tianxiangju is a little different from the past, and the previous door court Ruoshi has also become a door bird...... And on Suzaku Street, which is bustling on weekdays, today is also very different from the past.
There is a thick leather curtain hanging on the door of Tianxiangju, and occasionally the servants in the building pass by lifting the curtain, and the heat in the building gushes out, and for a while, the ground in front of the gate of Tianxiangju can not even save the snow.
Suzaku Street was also empty at this time, and there were no pedestrians, only the soldiers of the Kyoto Prefecture and the Kyoto Patrol Battalion who were guarding the area...... The group of soldiers shrunk their necks, rubbed their hands that were about to freeze, and looked at Tianxiangju with blank eyes, although they didn't dare to say anything in their mouths, they were secretly scolding their mothers in their hearts, those indigenous children who came to Beijing from desolate places were eating and drinking inside, but their own group of people had to work overtime outside to guard, no matter how they looked at it, it was damn unfair, but although this group of soldiers had a lot of complaints in their hearts, they didn't dare to relax in the slightest on the patrol...... Because, this order to transfer them here was given by His Majesty the Emperor himself.
It turned out that Ji Yan had already reported in the Honglu Temple before the banquet, and it was related to the safety of the children of the major princes, and the Honglu Temple did not dare to delay the reporting layer by layer.
In fact, this little emperor is also a little helpless, this group of princes' children entered Beijing according to his will, so their safety must be guaranteed by the little emperor.
Although the true power of imperial power is no longer what it used to be, the prestige of imperial power still exists in the hearts of the people of the world...... Therefore, at least in this Fengling City, the little emperor has to show his absolute authority, whether it is for the princes and officials, or for the people of the world...... The important thing is that he has to have that authority.
To put it mildly, if something happened to these princes' children in Fengling City? Who will be happy not to think about it first, the first to be sad will definitely be the little emperor.
