Chapter 122: The State of Affairs
After Zhang Ning left, seeing the lively people disperse, Xie Fan came back.
Gessel repeatedly asked to see the emperor, Xie Fan witnessed Batu and others being taken away in the restaurant, and Zhang Shaotong explained in detail what had happened, how could he be polite to him again, just said: "Don't be impatient, Your Majesty will announce your audience." The excuse prevaricated.
Xie Fan regretted it very much, he knew that Zhang Ning would show up, so he shouldn't have hidden, but now it's good that Zhang Shaotong steals the limelight. Although Zhang Shaotong didn't handle it very well, he was familiar with it in front of Zhang Ning.
To Zhang Ning's surprise, the military department quickly completed the transfer of troops, and in the afternoon, Liu Nian received an edict and took 500 spear battalion sergeants to surround the Yuhong Temple.
Xie Fan intervened, Liu Nian took out the talisman, shook it in front of him, and said, "Lord Xie has something to say to the military department." ”
Having a talisman is enough to explain everything, Xie Fan immediately flattered: "Since there is a talisman, Lord Liu will please." ”
The temple was almost entirely populated by the envoys and the retinue brought by the messengers. Suddenly there were sergeants surrounding, and it was clear who was targeted. Gessel came out to look for Liu Nian in a panic, but was stopped at the gate. He was clamoring to see Liu Nian, where did Liu Nian pay attention to him.
Gessel couldn't sleep all night, and his entourage was terrified. They didn't expect the Ming court to be so tough, not only detaining Batu and the commander of the thousand commanders, but also sending troops to surround them, seeing that the sergeants were wearing fire guns on their waists, obviously with bad intentions.

Yang Rong'er was very uneasy when she returned home, and she didn't know how her grandfather would punish her when he came back.
It was getting late, Yang Shiqi returned home, changed out of his official uniform, washed his hands and face, sent someone to call her over, and said comfortingly: "You did a good job, Your Majesty praised you." ”
Yang Rong'er was surprised: "Your Majesty praised me? ”
It's good if you don't punish it, how can you still do it well? Do you still have to be praised by Your Majesty?
Yang Shiqi smiled and said, "I said earlier, Zhang Ning, this young man is very clever. If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely rush to Yunhong Temple immediately after receiving the news, but he was not. He went into the palace to explain the situation to His Majesty, and moved His Majesty in a few words. Your Majesty not only praised you, but also said that you would take the royal conquest yourself. ”
"The Imperial Driver?" Yang Rong'er was taken aback. Was it because she was so angry that she fought with the messengers of Warat, that she raised an army? I don't know how many people died in the war.
Yang Shiqi stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Whether it is the imperial drive or not must be considered in the long run, but if the war cannot afford the dispute, I think the imperial court will not send troops." You don't have to worry. In this way, the matter of your command to beat the messenger of Warat is revealed. ”
I see. Yang Rong'er was originally an extremely smart person with a clear mind, how could he not understand the meaning of his grandfather's words? smiled and said, "Grandfather said that with his guidance, the granddaughter will turn the corner?" ”
Yang Shiqi bowed his head lightly and said, "Don't be so reckless next time, you have to think twice before doing things." ”
The granddaughter remembered. It's just that it's hard to think twice about today. Yang Rong'er bowed her head and said. After returning home, she also felt that she was too impulsive, and it was right to save people, but if she caused a big disaster for her grandfather, she was uneasy and fell second, what if it caused the family to be restless?
Fortunately, with him, it's okay now.
Thinking of him dressed in purple, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, handsome and extraordinary, he stood up at a critical juncture, she was like drinking honey, and her heart was sweet.
…………
Early in the morning, Zhang Ning first taught the cook to make ice cream, and then went to Jinyi Weidong Courtyard to deal with official business, near noon, the cook sent a food box, opened it to see, there were four different flavors of ice cream inside, each cup of ice cream was surrounded by ice cubes, kept in.
"Childe, the little one tried all morning, and finally made it. You taste it. The cook wiped the sweat from his face. I don't know if it's the hot weather, or I'm worried that the ice cream doesn't suit Zhang Ning's taste, or if I stepped into the most famous fierce place in the capital, Jinyiwei, in short, he was sweaty, and his face was sweaty, like rain.
Zhang Ning picked up the silver spoon, tasted two bites of everything, and finally finished the cup with red beans, nodded and said, "Well done, go to the tent to pay five taels of silver." After lunch, I went to the Lord's Mansion in Anding, and the chef in the Church made ice cream. ”
"Huh?" The cook was stunned for a moment and said, "The little one just learned." ”
"It's never too late to learn, anyway, you will." Zhang Ning said: "Leave these." He immediately rewarded Ren Gao and Brother Gao with the unfinished ice cream.
The two of them almost ate the ice cubes that kept them warm.
…………
In the evening, Zhang Ning's carriage quietly drove into the back door of the Anding County Lord's Mansion again. When he got out of the car, he looked left and right, quite a bit of a thief. He didn't believe that King Zheng didn't know that he came in in the dark at night, but just pretended not to know. Of course, it is not excluded that Yoyo bought Granny Liu and other servants, how did King Zheng come when he first came, his ears and eyes were not good, after all, the house was full of her people.
But after a long time, he must know, what to do when the time comes? Zhang Ning thought as he walked, and he hadn't figured it out when he got to the courtyard where Youyou lived, since he couldn't think of it, then he didn't care about it for now, and then he would talk about it when he bumped into King Zheng, I don't know if he would beat himself to death?
Zhang Ning was thinking crankily as he walked around the lush bamboo.
Youyou still ordered people to set up a bamboo coffee table and small chairs in the courtyard, in addition to a few plates of snacks, there is also a sandalwood food box, the lid is tightly covered.
"Is this ice cream?" Zhang Ning sat down and pointed to the sandalwood food box and asked with a smile.
Yoyo chuckled and opened the food box, which contained four cups of ice cream in clay cups, and crushed ice was piled up around the clay cups, apparently the cook had taught not only how to make ice cream, but also how to preserve it.
"Yes, yes, your chef learned it so quickly." Zhang Ning's sycophant was served, talking about the cook, but in fact, he was boasting.
Youyou couldn't hear it, rolled his eyes, took out a cup, handed it over, and said angrily: "I didn't do it." ”
"Have you eaten it?" Zhang Ning took it, and it happened that it was the red bean flavor he liked. Due to the limited flavors, the modern popular chocolate flavors and strawberry flavors can only be replaced by natural ingredients such as red beans, mung beans, and roses.
The taste of roses is better than the color is good-looking, but the fragrance is too strong, and Zhang Ning doesn't like it.
"When the cook made it, I ate everything. ”
"Everything?" Zhang Ning was taken aback: "Eat four cups at once, will it be too much?" ”
He was about to tell her that girls can't eat too much cold things, when he saw Yoyo raise his chin and make a tsundere shape, snort lightly, and said, "How can I eat four cups?" Only eat two bites per cup, and the rest will be rewarded to them. ”
It turned out to be the same as me. Zhang Ning ate silently.
I have to say that the chef in the Lord's Mansion of Anding County has good skills, he did not copy the recipe, but added or subtracted according to the taste of Youyou, and the ice cream made was blue, which was much richer than the taste made by the chef in his house.
Zhang Ning finished a cup of red bean ice cream in two bites.
