Chapter 22: A Bowl of Noodle Soup Causes a Tragedy

As night fell, the palace was brightly lit at the moment, and the emperor was staying tonight, and the defense level naturally implemented the strictest standards, and the students gave up their usual rotation on duty and all went out.

The current Jue Mansion is the mansion of a marquis in the former dynasty, covering an area of hundreds of acres, but there are more than 20 other courtyards in the mansion, if you want to defend them all, it is impossible to do it with the existing manpower of the Jue Mansion, so the focus on defense is the several places where the Jue Mansion lives permanently.

The hall in the front yard, which is used to receive guests on weekdays, is located here for today's banquet.

Entertaining is a very expensive thing, and inviting the emperor requires heavy bleeding.

As a loser with millions of debts, it is impossible not to feel pain, but the candle used to burn tonight is a huge amount of money.

"San Lang, today is a family banquet, you don't need to divide the case and eat, I feel very good about the way you eat on weekdays." Zhao Lao Er, who was sitting at the top of the hall, was a little dissatisfied with the way of feasting and eating in separate cases.

He knew that the Jue Mansion used to sit in groups on weekdays.

"Returning to the official's house, dividing the case and eating, this is an ancient etiquette, which should be observed, and must not be abandoned." Wen Qihang hugged his fists and saluted.

In fact, Wen Qihang is more accustomed to the way of eating, but he can't stand a group of eunuchs, and he always tastes the food he makes, and then he is willing to serve it.

This group of dead eunuchs didn't know how long they had been starved by Zhao Lao Er in the palace, and half of the food they had made went into their bellies.

"Just a few of us? I remember that there are not only these few people in the Lord's Mansion, right? Seeing and hearing that what Qihang said was obviously a prevarication, Zhao Lao Er didn't bother to be angry with him, if he wanted to talk about etiquette, he had never seen any real courtesy of a monarch and a minister when he smelled sailing, and every time he was hastily hugging his fists.

"Back to the official's house, according to the official position, only Weichen can attend the banquet in the palace, and if it is according to the family banquet, only Fengyi can attend in the palace, so it's just the two of us." Wen Qihang explained.

"Today, I am not a guest at the Emperor's Mansion as an emperor, please invite everyone who can be invited, and it will be more lively." Zhao Lao Er commanded.

There are only five people in a huge hall now, Xiao Zhao and Shi Shouxin are sitting on the left, Wen Qihang and Tan Fengyi are sitting on the right, no matter how you look at it, it looks a little empty, not to mention that there is not even a person waiting next to you.

"I'm afraid of disturbing the official family, and Weichen can't escape the blame." It's hard to smell the sail. There are actually not many people in the Jue's Mansion who can attend now, Mei Yiqi and the little nun Jingyuan, which is not suitable for anyone to come.

"The little lady of the Mei family, I also have a fate, Jingyuan little master, I have known him for a long time, I heard that there is a little lady in the house, saying that it is your disciple, since it is your disciple, what is there to disturb.

You don't have to prevaricate, just shout. Zhao Lao Er said unceremoniously.

"Yes, Weichen will shout." Wen Qihang got up and said.

"Don't you even have someone to wait for, and you still need to shout?" Seeing that he was going to set sail out of the hall and call people in person, Zhao Lao Er said angrily. This Wen Qihang usually looks extremely clever, but now what's going on, actually put the emperor aside to do such a trivial matter.

"Official, there is really a shortage of manpower in the Weichen Mansion." Wen Qihang said helplessly.

"I'll go." Tan Fengyi got up and said a word, and then walked out.

"There is Lao Fengyi." Smelling Qihang, he hurriedly thanked.

Seeing Tan Fengyi going to call someone, Zhao Lao Er asked: "You have been a baron of the national dynasty for a long time, why don't you even have a complete family business?" ”

"There are labor officials who are concerned, and all the daily necessities in the house are actually ready, and there is no need to add any items." Wen Qihang really didn't feel that something was missing in ordinary life.

"As a baron of the dynasty, you always need a few servants and maidservants." Zhao Lao Er has a very clear understanding of the personnel situation of the Jue Mansion, and now there is only one servant girl in the entire Jue Mansion, and she is not Wen Qihang.

"Ah....... Thank you for your concern, and Wechen will make up for it immediately. "Speaking of servants and maidservants, it is a shame to smell Qihang. It seems that this evil old society has not had time to corrupt itself.

In ancient times, servants and maidservants were actually a kind of property of the master's family, and Wen Qihang, who came from later generations, obviously did not have the bad habit of treating people as goods.

"If you don't have a few supporters, you will not only lose your face, but also lose the dignity of the country." Zhao Lao Er said with an unhappy expression.

"What the official said is very true, but Weichen is really shy in his pocket, and he hasn't received Yulu for a long time." Wen Qihang cried.

Although the dynasty has been issuing state bonds for several months, for those high-ranking officials who have received state bonds, they have their own land and channels for money, and naturally they will not rely on this money to live, but Wen Qihang really owes too many debts, and no matter how small the flies are, it is not meat. How can you not feel distressed.

"Well, since San Lang is shy in his pocket, then I will help you, there are still many maidservants from the previous dynasty in the palace who need to be disposed of, or I will give you some. Saburo, what do you think? Zhao Lao Er snorted and laughed.

"Thank you for the kindness of the officials, the manpower problem will be solved by Wechen." Wen Qihang hurriedly refused.

Now that there are already nine royal belt craftsmen in the mansion, if there is another group of people who don't know the details, won't this mansion be completely controlled by Zhao Laoer.

"San Lang, you don't have to be polite, it should be regarded as the court's reward for your two rebellions, your ambition is not to support the United States, and when you return to the palace, I will definitely fulfill your wishes." Zhao Lao Er said with a smile.

"The official's words are serious........ "Wen Qihang grinned.

"The people's daughter Mei's family, see the official family." When he heard that Qihang was in embarrassment, he saw Mei Yiqi walking in and squatting down to give a salute. It seems that someone has already instructed him to call the official, not His Majesty.

"The people's daughter Qiu, see the official family." Xiaohua also squatted down and saluted in the same way.

"Poor nuns are quiet, and I have seen the official family." The little nun Jingyuan clasped her hands together and bowed her head slightly.

"Today's family banquet, there is no need to be restrained, just sit down." Zhao Lao Er waved his hand.

"Thank you." The three women said in unison.

Seeing that everyone was seated, he heard Qihang shouting Xiaohua and sat beside him, so he motioned to the drug test attendant standing outside the hall to prepare to serve the food.

Zhao Lao Er now finally knows that all his chamberlains have gone there, it turned out that they were going to serve dishes, and they saw that each of them was carrying a tray and placing the dishes on the dining table one by one.

Zhao Lao Er looked at the big bowl of braised soup cakes in front of him, and suddenly smiled bitterly in his heart. If the emperor can be entertained in other people's homes, it is all delicacies from the mountains and seas. But this damn smell set sail, and actually used a bowl of soup cakes to send himself away.

"Official, don't underestimate this soup cake, this soup cake is the latest research and development of Wechen, and cooked by Wechen himself, this soup cake, not only gluten, there are dishes, but also with rich gravy for compatibility, the amount of large tube is full, it is not enough to reflect its many advantages.

Wechen gave it an elegant name, called lo mein, please taste it. Wen Qihangkou spit out a lotus-like introduction.

No matter what you say, the mouth spits lotus, it is also a bowl of soup cakes, although Zhao Lao Er is slandered in his heart, but he still picked up the bamboo chopsticks on the side, picked up a noodle, put it in his mouth, chewed it lightly, the noodles are actually full of strength, and the fragrance of beef juice and Chinese cabbage instantly makes people appetite.

After tasting a bite, Zhao Lao Er sighed and praised: "Oh, I really didn't expect that San Lang actually has good cooking skills, although it is just an ordinary bowl of soup cakes, but it is also very delicious, but where does this beef juice come from, I remember that the dynasty is not allowed to kill cows." ”

Although Zhao Lao Er pursues frugality, after all, the current food is nothing more than steaming, and it is basically inseparable from meat, so this kind of soup cake is only with the help of gravy or green vegetables, which is very suitable for his taste.

"Your Majesty, killing a cow is a violation of national law, and Weichen naturally knows it, so this beef juice is not made of beef, but made of yang after the cow gelding, especially for men, it can have a great tonic effect." Wen Qihang said with a smile.

Burst!

Burst... Burst.......!

As soon as he heard Qihang's words, he instantly heard a few pops, and in surprise, he saw Tan Fengyi, Xiao Zhao, Mei Yiqi and the little nun Jingyuan, whose faces were blushing, and looking at themselves with cannibalistic eyes.

After all, making noodles is the housekeeping ability of Wen Qihang, whether it is in later generations, or in the first debut in ancient times, he relied on this craft to support himself, plus this time after all, it was a banquet for the emperor, so he did it with extra care, after all, just inviting the emperor to eat a bowl of noodles, it was shabby enough, if the taste was worse, it was really a little too much, and even the group of dead eunuchs ate a lot for this.

Just put this bowl of lo mein on the table, the fragrance it exudes is already extremely appetizing, and it is even more delicious when you eat it.

Just when everyone was enjoying the food, they were suddenly shocked to hear that the raw material for making the soup cake was actually the yang of the cow, which may be nothing to the man, but how can the woman accept it.

Especially the little nun Jingyuan, who can't wait to rush up at this moment, eat it raw and smell it and set sail.

She's a nun, not close to meat.

Although the meal is simple, but full of taste, Zhao Lao Er was still a little unhappy just now, just became soothing, and was about to enjoy the food, but when he heard such a vigorous introduction from Wen Qihang, his hands holding bamboo chopsticks immediately fixed in the air and stopped moving.

After Zhao Lao Er took a deep breath, he reluctantly put down the bamboo chopsticks and said, "I'm done, you continue." ”

After saying that, he ignored the crowd and left first.

Shi Shouxin also shook his head and left the hall helplessly.

When the women saw that the emperor had gone, they all got up and sailed to Wen.

"What do you want to do?" Seeing the women walking towards him viciously, Wen Qihang swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said.

"You did it on purpose, didn't you?" Tan Fengyi said coldly.

"What is deliberate, I did it on purpose......." Wen Qihang carefully explained.

"I know you're not kind." The little nun Jingyuan shouted angrily, interrupting Wen Qihang's explanation: "Hit him!" ”

“.......”
