Huiji Taishou Mansion, "Mansion Jun has a letter from your family here." A scribe handed the letter in his hand to Tang Mao and said. Tang Mao took the letter and read it, and after a while, he laughed: "Okay, Bo Jiao (Cai Yong tablet): You old horseman also have today." ”

"Fujun, what's the happy event?" Looking at the smiling Tang Mao scribe, he asked.

"It's nothing, it's just that the old man's son is back." Tang Mao couldn't hide the joy in his heart, and when he thought of Cai Yong's old puppet in the letter, he said about his son and his daughter's relationship, Tang Mao felt very happy. Now that the old man is actually proposing marriage to his daughter, the more Tang Mao thinks about it, the more relieved he becomes.

By the way, his son is also a court official now, and he is still not much different from himself than the two thousand stone Nongdu Lieutenant, thinking about himself, he didn't know where he was fooling around when he was so old. It seems that he has suffered a lot in the past two years of disappearance, and he has grown up a lot.

"Oh, then congratulations to the Fujun family on finally being reunited." Almost everyone knows about the disappearance of Tang Mao's second son, not to mention the scribe in front of him who can almost be regarded as Tang Mao's confidant.

"Hahaha, you go to the court on behalf of the old man to report that the young son of the old man's family has returned, and the old man is anxious to return to the province and ask the Holy Lord to approve it."

"Okay, my subordinates will do it." After speaking, the scribe turned around and left, and after a while, the scribe who left fell back again, and there was an extra newspaper from the imperial court in his hand.

"Why are you back again?" Tang Mao looked at the scribe who had gone and returned.

"Fujun, this is the palace report just sent by the envoy, and there is also a copy of the emperor's will for you." After speaking, the scribe handed him the newspaper in his hand and the will given to Tang Mao by the imperial court. Tang Mao took the report and the will, opened the will first, and couldn't help laughing: "It seems that the saint still understands the old minister, you don't have to write a report, the saint knows that Tang Zheng is the young son of the old man and has allowed the old man to go home to kiss him." You go down and get ready, old man, then get up and go back to Luoyang. ”

The scribe was ordered to turn around and go down to prepare for Tang Mao's return to Luoyang.

Cai Mansion, in Cai Yong's study, Cai Yong sat alone on a chair and looked at the letter in his hand and frowned, "Old Man, the Wei family does not agree to withdraw from the marriage?" At this time, Lao Zhong looked at his old man and asked with a sad look.

Cai Yong shook his head and didn't speak.

"Since the Wei family has agreed to withdraw from the marriage, why is the master still worried."

"The Wei family agreed, but judging from the letter, I'm afraid that my friendship with Brother Wei will end here."

"Ah, how is that good?"

"Forget it, I understand what Brother Wei meant when he was born as a father, but I also have a daughter of Zhaoji, I hope Brother Wei can figure it out," Cai Yong said lightly. Although I can't see anything on the surface, I still feel a little uncomfortable in my heart, after all, I have been friends for decades, but now I don't get along with each other for the affairs of my children.

"Lao Zhong, go and return the dowry sent by the Wei family." Cai Yong instructed the old servant.

"Okay, sir, I'll do it."

Cai Yong waved his hand to signal Lao Zhong to go down, and when Lao Zhong was about to turn around and leave, Cai Yong stopped him again, "By the way, where did Yan'er go?" Cai Yong asked.

"Master, Miss went to the Tang Mansion early in the morning."

"Hey, this kid. Forget it, let her go. Cai Yong waved his hand to the old servant again.

"Brother Shi, why are we buying so many herbs back? The people in the hospital just now looked at us with something wrong. Cai Yan saw that Tang Zheng had bought a lot of medicinal herbs and asked puzzledly.

"Yes, Childe, why are you buying so many medicinal herbs? We can all open a pharmacy. Zhang Chao also complained on the side.

Since Cai Yan gave Tang Zheng a piece of clothing last time, the relationship between the two has improved a lot, of course, Tang's mother threatened with death. Tang Zheng had no choice but to admit such a family affair in the end, of course, it was not yet to propose to the Cai family, after all, everything had to wait until Tang Mao came back to decide. Although it was not a marriage proposal, the relationship between Tang Zheng and Cai Yan was privately admitted, and Tang Zheng was ordered to take Cai Yan out to play. To be honest, Tang Zheng was secretly relieved to be able to get Cai Yan, after all, this is a talented woman in the future. In later generations, that man was not full of illusions about the beauties of the Three Kingdoms period.

"You'll know when you get home, I said Zhang Chao, have you been lazy lately? Why so much nonsense? Tang Zheng looked at Zhang Chao and asked. He thinks that he has been too relaxed about them recently, which has caused even Zhang Chao to complain all day after day.

"Zhang Chao, from tomorrow onwards, you will start training like when you were in Rinshan, and then I will rent you a yard in the suburbs."

"Ah, okay Childe, I won't talk much in the future." Zhang Chao said with a face crossed.

"Hmph, you fools, I won't tell your brother that he uses these to cook." Tang Ji looked at Zhang Chao and said.

"Ah, Brother Shi wants to use these to cook? Nothing will happen, right? Cai Yan said in surprise that she was very curious about how Tang Zheng used these medicinal materials to cook.

In fact, these things that Tang Zheng bought were very common in later generations, such as nutmeg, grass fruit, fennel, cinnamon, etc. In this era, these are used as medicinal materials, and when I bought these in the pharmacy just now, the doctor sitting in the hall also strongly instructed Tang Zheng that medicinal materials should not be used indiscriminately, and he must distinguish between the monarch and the minister, otherwise there will be a big problem.

Everyone returned to the Tang Mansion with a large bag of spices they bought, and Tang Zheng asked people to bring the spices directly to the kitchen. Tang Zheng asked a family member, "Have you bought the things you bought?" ”

"Back to the young master, I've already bought it and put it in the kitchen." Jia Ding replied. Tang Zheng nodded and walked straight towards the kitchen. Tang Ji and Cai Yan also followed Tang Zheng and walked towards the kitchen together. "Zhang Chao, you need your help after a while." Tang Zheng stopped Zhang Chao, who was about to leave, Zhang Chao nodded and walked towards the kitchen with him.

"Zhang Chao, you cut off these pig's feet from here and split them in half." Tang Zheng said to Zhang Chao with a pig's foot, Zhang Chao washed his hands and rolled up his sleeves and began to implement Tang Zheng's arrangement.

Tang Zheng himself put the spices into the pot one by one according to a certain proportion, and then instructed the kitchen fireman to start a fire to boil water.

"Hey, it's a pity that there is no beef, it would be more perfect if there was beef." Tang Zheng said to himself.

"Brother Shi, it is illegal to kill cattle and eat meat." Cai Yan said to Tang Zheng that he was afraid that Tang Zheng would run to kill the cow for the sake of appetite.

"Well, I know, I'll just talk about it." Tang Zheng said absentmindedly, thinking of the spiced beef in later generations, Tang Zheng swallowed his saliva unconsciously. It's been a long time since I've eaten beef, so I miss the taste of beef.

After a while, the water in the pot boiled, and the unique aroma of spices was emitted. Tang Zheng instructed the fireman to reduce the fire and then boil it slowly, at this time Zhang Chao had already split all the pig's feet in half, Tang Zheng asked him to wash them, and then asked Zhang Chao to marinate the pig's feet with salt.

Wait until all the processes are completed, Tang Zheng Tang Zheng asked people to come back to call him after three hours, and then led everyone out of the kitchen.
