Jin Yuan moved his stiff neck, raised his eyes to look out of the window, it was already dark outside, and it had already passed, the cold wind came in through the crack in the window, Jin Yuan simply pushed open the window, and cleared his sullen mind.

I will return to Beijing tomorrow, and I will be able to see Ning Zhao immediately, not only that, but also the King of Chu and the crown prince, calculate the time, and it will be completely completed in a few days.

Arranged the two of them in the same place, not knowing what interesting things happened, Jin Yuan was very interested, and even a little impatient.

The crown prince and the king of Chu confronted each other for the first time, and the two forces in the court were also competing, and when he returned to Kyoto, he should see some changes, but I don't know which of the two of them is better.

Even more exposed, Jin Yuan only stood at the window for a while, his body was already cold, he reached out and closed the window, took off his coat and went to bed.

Say the other side.

Murong Cheng was sent to Zhigu Village to deal with the finishing touches of the construction, and Ning Jian was left alone in the East Palace.

The banquet was not held again, Ning Jian was not stupid, the East Palace was not favored by the old emperor now, and when the treasury was empty, if he was holding a banquet on a large scale, this was obviously going to anger the Son of Heaven.

Ning Lian wouldn't be stupid enough to do this.

At the previous painting appreciation meeting, she also contacted some previous friendships, Murong Cheng stood on the cusp of the struggle for power and profit, and what she needed most was the support of those ministers.

What Ning Jian did this time was very close to Murong Cheng's intentions, and because of this, Murong Cheng made it clear that when the position of the concubine was vacant, the affairs of the East Palace would be handed over to Ning Lian to take care of.

Ning Jian was also helping to take care of it before, but he was only helping, but now with Murong Cheng's words, he used to ask the housekeeper about everything, but now he does have to ask himself about everything.

This is the real panache of the lord of the first house!

Ning Jian was very proud, so proud that he almost got carried away. The silver was spent every once in a while, and Ning Jian only needed to find a reasonable reason to write it in the account book.

The housekeeper didn't dare to ask, but she was very suspicious in her heart. However, Murong Cheng is not in the palace, and even if the housekeeper wants to report it, she can't find anyone.

In this way, not long after Murong Cheng left, the hole of 730,000 taels in Ning Mansion was smoothed out by Ning Lian's back and forth!

Ning Hong was surprised and delighted after knowing this, and praised Ning Jian without hesitation, Ning Jian was even more in a good mood, and the little headaches and brain fever before were not bothered.

"It's been so long, have you discussed it?" Ning Jian has been in a good mood recently, and it is difficult to have the heart to meet the shopkeepers of several stores.

She sat on the main seat, looked at the newly dyed bright red Kodan, and her eyes swept lazily over the few people below, and slowly opened her mouth.

The steward followed behind Ning Lian, and when he heard this, he hurriedly glanced at the nearest shopkeeper in the furnace.

The shopkeeper swept away, hurriedly stepped forward, bowed and replied: "I have discussed the results of the export, and I am about to report to the mother." ”

"Oh?"

Ning Lian replied softly, didn't look at anyone again, admired his nails again, and said, "Then let's talk about it, what has come out of the discussion?" ”

The shopkeeper swallowed his saliva, looked at a few people around him, and then said:

"The border adjacent towns suddenly became popular with a dish, before an old friend came back from the border, happened to mention it to the small, the small one paid attention, and went to a special trip, when he came back to investigate along the way, I didn't expect that even Daxing has risen."

"What dish?" Ning Jian was a little interested, sat up slightly straight, and looked at the shopkeeper.

"It's not accurate to say that it is a dish, it is a copper pot, heated on the spot, the red and red soup bases are distinguished, and then the food you want to eat is put into the pot to boil, and when it boils, it will make a 'coodong' sound, hence the name 'coodong pot'."

As he spoke, the shopkeeper added another sentence and said: "The little one also went to taste it once, it is indeed quite delicious, and it can be changed according to personal taste, it is really delicious!" ”

"Boom." Ning Jian raised his eyebrows and asked again, "Is it really so good?" ”

Although Ning Jian married into the royal family not long ago, there are delicacies everywhere in the palace, but she has never heard of this 'Gudong pot', she still doesn't believe it, and says: "Since you have eaten it, do you know how to do it?" ”

"Of course!" The shopkeeper hurriedly replied: "The little one paid attention, so he found out the method of this grunt pot, and went back to find the chef to try it, although the taste is still a little different, but it can be regarded as a delicacy." ”

Ning Jian squinted slightly, looked at the shopkeeper, and then looked at the steward who followed her, and then she nodded lazily and ordered:

"Since this Gudong pot is so mysterious by you, and you already have a recipe for it, let's try it for this palace."

The shopkeeper nodded again and again, and hurriedly retreated to prepare.

The rest of the shopkeepers, you look at me, I look at you, and they all talked about their own ideas.

Ning Jian listened to the words of several people, all of them were not interested, but he did not refute it, after all, only by adapting to the world can he do a good job, and it is not for personal preference.

After everyone finished speaking, Ning Jian waved his hand and said, "Just do what you say." ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but this breath was not completely relieved, and Ning Jian added, "Give you three months, I want to see results." ”

She slowly raised her eyes and swept over a few people, her eyes were not happy or angry, and she also gave a strong sense of oppression to several people, "If there is still no improvement after three months, then you don't have to be the shopkeeper." ”

The shopkeepers hurriedly nodded yes, and Ning Jian waved his hand and asked them to retreat.

Ning Lian didn't go back to the East Palace, but went to Ning Mansion, she was still thinking about the Gu Dong pot, Ning Hong happened to be there, and she also wanted Ning Hong to see the achievements she had made.

At dinner time, the shopkeeper really came with a Gudong pot, followed by a chef, who personally introduced Ning Lian's eating methods.

Ning Hong stayed in Kyoto on weekdays, although he was in charge of the royal horses and the wartime military horses, he had never been to the border once, and the escorts were arranged for the officials below.

It was also the first time he had seen what the pot looked like.

The broth began to boil, the chef made the ingredients, and the fragrance quickly dispersed, Ning Jian and Ning Hong glanced at each other, and both eyes were full of surprise.

When the food is out of the pot, there is a gurgling sound, and the rich aroma is even more vigorously drilled into the human nose.

Ning Lian's appetite has not been very good since she was pregnant, and it is difficult for her to have any food that will make her want to eat a lot. But the pot did it.

Ning Lian saw the chef putting food into the pot, and asked a little impatiently, "When can I eat it?" ”

The chef quickly replied respectfully, "You can eat the food when it's cooked." ”

As he spoke, he looked at the food in the pot again, nodded towards Ning Lian, and said, "Now you can move your chopsticks." ”

Ning Jian still held his identity and slowly picked up the chopsticks, but Ning Hong didn't have so many worries, picked up a piece of beef and put it in his mouth.
