Chapter 100: First Hearing

Seeing that spring is about to begin, the spring exam is about to be carried out and the new policy of the imperial court is about to be implemented, and it is still a little intriguing that the Wang family chose to enter Beijing at this time. Although it was just a junior, it was just a front stop. Wang Yuanfeng, who has been in charge of the Wang family for more than ten years, is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

In the Cui family's study, Cui Yan was listening to the news of the Wang family's report from the next person, raised his hand to stop the report of the next person, Cui Yan twisted his eyebrows and asked, "You mean that the Wang family went to the Yasukuni Mansion first after entering Beijing?" ”

"Yes, sir."

"The Lin family?" Cui Yan twisted his eyebrows and thought for a while, then asked, "Is it only the eldest young master of the Wang family?" ”

"There's also a woman, but the little one doesn't see it too clearly."

Speaking of which, Cui Yan also has a general understanding that the one who entered the mansion with Wang Linpeng may be the eldest lady of the Wang family who is rumored to marry into the Yasukuni Mansion, but I don't know if this matter can be done. If it happens, it won't be a good thing for the family.

As an old family, the Wang family is in decline at the moment, especially after the catastrophe, the Wang family has been on the verge of collapse several times. That is, there has been a slight improvement in recent years. But after all, emaciated camels are bigger than horses. As long as the imperial court has the Wang family in hand, the affairs of Jinju are not a matter. The implementation of the New Deal may enter a state of doing more with less.

Cui Yan is not opposed to the new deal, but once it comes to his own interests, this matter is up for debate. Most of the Cui family's foundation has been in the capital over the years, and now it has no damage to the Cui family itself, but in the long run, it is tantamount to a catastrophe for the Cui family.

As the leader of the family, the Cui family has always been the spokesperson of each family in the court, and now that the new deal has moved the cake of these people, the Cui family as a representative can no longer be silent, so Cui Yan is now under more pressure than anyone else. This thing is not difficult to operate, as long as you unite a few companies, you can make this thing end without a problem.

It's not that Da Zhou hasn't carried out New Deal reforms, and most of the previous times were operated in this way, which led to the failure of the New Deal. But this time it was a little different, because the historian had already stood on the side of the court with a clear attitude, and the Wang family now had an ambiguous attitude. This approach of the south and the north made Cui Yan a little unsure of the attitude of the imperial court. If it is too powerful, it is difficult to guarantee that the Cui family will be strangled to death as a bird.

Compared with the entanglement of the Cui family, Shi Yu did laugh a few times after hearing that the eldest young master of the Wang family had entered Beijing, and scolded Wang Yuanfeng for being too careful.

Some didn't understand what his father meant, Shi Yuechuan asked suspiciously: "Father, has this Wang family done anything wrong?" ”

Shi Ju shook his head, looked at his eldest son and said: "The Wang family has not done anything wrong, my father just thinks that this Wang Yuanfeng has always been bold and generous, but this time he is so cautious and cautious, and he has been tempted again and again, and he thinks it is funny." ”

"What are the Wang family worried about?" Shi Yuechuan was a little puzzled.

"It's nothing more than the attitude of the imperial court, it was rumored that the imperial court was going to implement a new policy a few years ago, and the Wang family has been following the imperial court step by step over the years, and now that he suddenly came to such a hand, he was naturally a little suspicious. As for him, Wang Yuanfeng wants to marry his daughter, but there are still more tentative elements. ”

"It seems that the Yasukuni Mansion is not keen on this family business."

Shi Ju nodded and said: "Whoever has been away from home for many years is naturally reluctant to do such a thing, and the palace is also in a state of watching a play about this matter, if it is done, both sides will be happy, if it doesn't work, the face of each family is still there, after all, no one says that it is promised to do this family business at the moment." ”

"I heard that the eldest lady of the Wang family is also here this time." Shi Yuechuan said with a smile.

"That's a headache for Wang Yuanfeng, and now it's safe that he has already left for Beijing." Shi Ju laughed.

Wang Yuanfeng had indeed set off at this time, and after thinking about it at home, he felt that this matter was not very reliable, especially since his daughter also followed, which made the uncertainty increase exponentially. It's okay if it happens, but if your daughter dies in the capital, what will you do to save people.

And Wang Lingyu, who was considered by his father to be an unstable factor, was honestly staying in the Wang family's courtyard at the moment. Holding a branch in his hand, he sat in the gazebo in a daze. Wang Lingyu feels that she is going crazy these days, and she has never been out since the last time she went to the Yasukuni Mansion.

First, because Wang Linpeng was busy with her these days and had no time to accompany her, and secondly, because she was not very familiar with herself in the capital, so she had to sit at home in a daze. As for the trouble that Wang Yuanfeng was worried about, she hadn't done it yet.

Somewhat irritated, he threw the branch in his hand aside, and Wang Lingyu shouted: "Someone! ”

A maid walked into the pavilion quickly, saluted Wang Lingyu and said, "Miss." ”

"How many years have you been in the capital?" Wang Lingyu looked at the maid and asked.

"Miss Hui, the slave has been in the capital for three years."

"Haven't you been out of the house all this time?"

"When I go out, sometimes I buy something." The maid replied.

Wang Lingyu's eyes lit up and asked, "Is there anything interesting in the capital?" ”

"This..."The maid looked at her young lady with some embarrassment, thought for a while and said: "There are a lot of places to play, but most of the places to play in the capital are better in spring and autumn, and there is really no good place to go at the moment." ”

"That's right." Wang Lingyu lost interest in an instant.

Seeing the unhappy appearance of the young lady, the maid thought for a while and said: "If the young lady is really bored, you can go to the West Market, there are a lot of delicious food, especially Luoxian Tower, no one who comes to the capital does not go, if you happen to be able to eat Miss Li's cooking, you can go back and blow it for a long time." ”

Wang Lingyu's eyes lit up again, although he is not a foodie, but this thing may be the most common pastime for the people of Dazhou. Wang Lingyu touched her stomach and looked at the sky again, and it was almost time for lunch, so she said, "Let's go, take Miss Ben to the Luoxian Tower to have a look." ”

The master and servant went straight to Luoxian Lou like this, because it happened to be a meal, there were a lot of people in the store, and Wang Lingyu was still a little satisfied with the environment, but there were too many guests in the lobby, so Wang Lingyu frowned and looked at the shopkeeper and asked, "Is there still a place upstairs?" ”

"Yes, two upstairs, please." The shopkeeper leaned sideways and took Wang Lingyu to the second floor, but seeing that Wang Lingyu's expression was still not very satisfied, the shopkeeper asked in a low voice, "Do you think the guest is okay?" ”

Wang Lingyu nodded, which made the shopkeeper a little embarrassed, touched his head and thought about it and said: "This young lady, there is a house on the third floor that is vacant today, but I am worried about you..."

Wang Lingyu was not angry, she knew what the shopkeeper meant, and asked instead: "Money is not a problem, I want to know if the Miss Li in your store is still cooking today?" ”

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Guest, you are here, the empty room on the third floor today is Miss Li's, if you think it's okay, I will notify the kitchen to prepare food for you." ”

"You don't have a menu here?" Wang Lingyu said curiously.

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "Miss's cooking is all based on her mood, and there is no menu." ”

"Okay, that's her." Wang Lingyu nodded and walked up to the third floor.

Looking at the furnishings in the house, Wang Lingyu was very satisfied, looking at the furnishings in the house, there was some taste, after a turn, Wang Lingyu looked at the maid and asked: "Xing'er, has this Miss Li always been like this when she cooks without a list?" ”

Xing'er thought for a while and said: "The slave maid doesn't know, after all, the people who come from this Luoxian Mansion are all people with small wealth, especially Miss Li, listening to the news from the capital, only cooking four tables of dishes in January, and the date is uncertain, it all depends on the mood." If you're lucky, you can catch up, and if you're unlucky, you won't be able to eat. ”

"It's an interesting person, and I have a chance to meet him." Wang Lingyu said with a smile: "Then she hasn't done it according to the menu until now?" ”

Xing'er thought for a while and said, "It is rumored that there is only one person in the capital who can order. ”

Wang Lingyu was suddenly interested, I thought that this Miss Li was enough to put on the score, but I never thought that there was another powerful one, and asked curiously: "Who is so good?" The Emperor? ”

Thinking about it, only the emperor is so powerful in this capital, cooking depends on the mood, and only the palace can manage this kind of thing if it is done in the capital without being smashed.

How do you know that Xing'er shook her head, looking at her Miss and didn't know whether to say it or not, after all, the person in this matter still has something to do with Miss, and she has heard about some things.

Seeing Xing'er like this, Wang Lingyu said with a smile: "Say, it's okay, I want to know who this person is." ”

Looking at her young lady carefully, Xing'er said: "I heard rumors that only the Duke of Yasukuni can order food in the capital." ”

Hearing this answer, Wang Lingyu was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and looked at her young lady with some concern, Xing'er hurriedly said, "Miss, are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, it's just a little unexpected, I didn't expect that my brother still has this kind of ability in the capital, it seems that I will have to stutter more in the future." Wang Lingyu was a little surprised by this result, she always heard all kinds of rumors about the Yasukuni Mansion at home, but now that she came to the capital, she didn't expect that there would be such an interesting thing. It was a bonus.

asked about some things about this Luoxian Building, and Wang Lingyu finally waited for his own meal. Because it is two people, there are fewer meals but more styles, four dishes and one soup, which is not much different from what Wang Lingyu eats at home.

"It's pretty well presented." Wang Lingyu nodded with satisfaction, and then began to taste the dishes.

As soon as the dish was eaten, Wang Lingyu's expression changed, and her eyes brightened up a lot. Xiao Er on the side is not surprised, almost everyone who eats the dishes made by the lady has this reaction, after all, it is the top culinary existence in the capital, I dare not say that it is the first in the world, but it is not too much to think about.

Wang Lingyu was indeed a little surprised, and she was already prepared, but after tasting it, she still felt that she had underestimated the craftsmanship of this beautiful chef in the honorary capital. The dishes are delicious, and the original flavor of the ingredients is retained to the greatest extent, and Wang Lingyu is now thinking that even the craftsmanship of the imperial chef in the palace is nothing more than that.

At this moment, Wang Lingyu had already developed a strong interest in this eldest lady of Luoxianlou, who had never met before, put down the chopsticks, Wang Lingyu looked at the shopkeeper and asked, "Is your eldest lady still in the store now?" I want to meet her. ”
