Chapter 7 The Emperor Makes an Invitation for Dinner

On the morning of the second day, Xia Zimo sat on the dragon chair, looked at the ministers below, and saw Qiu Luoxue standing obediently in the position of the prime minister, showing a satisfied smile.

Qiu Luoxue has been glaring at him angrily, and now she really understands what it means to crush people to death at the level of an official, she now dares to be angry and dare not speak, so she can only silently endure Xia Zimo's oppression of her. After all, the ministers are going to hang themselves, and she can't sit idly by, as a young man who has received socialist education, how can she ignore their deaths? As a result, Qiu Luoxue could only go further and further on this road where women dressed as men and went to the court.

"Is the prime minister willing to come to the court?" Xia Zimo asked, Qiu Luoxue always felt that he was smiling treacherously.

"Well, here we are." Qiu Luoxue said unexpectedly.

"Not resigning today?"

"Well, no more."

"Haha, that's good." Xia Zimo smiled with satisfaction and said: "The prime minister can have such an awareness, thanks to the full persuasion of the ministers, in order to reward your behavior yesterday, the officials of the DPRK and the central government have doubled their salaries this month."

"Thank you, Lord Long." Hearing this, the officials thanked in unison.

Xia Zimo looked at Qiu Luoxue and said with a smile on his face: "The money to increase Yulu will be paid by the prime minister."

"Why?" Qiu Luoxue was originally indifferent to this matter, but when she heard that she had to pay for it herself, she immediately looked like a fried rooster, no, it was a hen.

"Aren't they working hard because of the prime minister." Xia Zimo said it as a matter of course.

"I didn't let them go."

"But if you don't resign, they don't have to work hard, in the final analysis, it's for you, the prime minister, so the money still has to be paid by the prime minister."

Ah~~ Xia Zimo, the old lady is not finished with you, I have been here for so long, I haven't moved a finger of the treasures and money of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and you actually made me lose so many silver taels at once. Woo woo~ I knew that the flowers were finished, how could there be a feeling that the carefully raised cabbage was arched by the pig? Qiu Luoxue wailed in her heart.

After leaving the court, he walked out of the main hall, and every step was extremely heavy.

"Alas~ my silver." Qiu Luoxue's heart hurt so much that she said to herself. It's just that these ministers don't have long eyes, so they have to come over, "Thank you, Prime Minister." ”

Thank you, thank you, sister, I don't want to give you the silver?! I originally wanted to use this silver to spend my old age in peace, but alas~ It seems that there is no guarantee in my old age.

Thinking all the way out of the palace gate, Qiu Luoxue planned to get in the carriage and go home.

"Mom, why are you here?"

Qiu Luoxue opened the door of the carriage and was just about to go in, when she saw Xia Zimo sitting inside, she was so frightened that she subconsciously retreated, but because she was in the carriage, she almost fell down. Fortunately, Xia Zimo quickly grabbed Qiu Luoxue's hand.

"Was it so pleasantly surprised to see me?"

"It's not a surprise, it's a fright. Your Majesty, why are you in my carriage? ”

"I thought Aiqing would want me to do that."

"No, I don't want to, I don't want at all, you better hurry back to the palace."

"I thought about it, since Aiqing doesn't plan to resign, we will get along day and night in the future, we still have to cultivate our relationship well, let's start today, I will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion for lunch, and I can contact Aiqing for affection."

Wow, rubbing rice is rubbing rice, and also contacting feelings, the first time I saw someone say that rubbing rice is so fresh and refined. By the way, do all of you in the Xia family have this habit? Lord Yan always goes to the Prime Minister's Mansion to eat, and now even the emperor is here, is the rice in my Prime Minister's Mansion so easy to rub? No, the Xia family is a royal family, isn't it ashamed to do this kind of thing?

Qiu Luoxue's heart is really bitter, and it seems that she will not be able to get rid of this family in the future.

Xia Zimo saw that Qiu Luoxue didn't speak, thinking that she agreed with her own words, and said: "But it is said that Aiqing is very satisfied with my face, hands, and voice, and it should not be difficult for us to cultivate feelings." But if you spend a little longer, I will make you feel that there is more to me than this to satisfy Aiqing. ”

Satisfied with the yarn, am I in love with you? It's useless to just look handsome, have good hands, and have a good voice. (Although these are enough if you are in love.) )

"Alright, let's go, I'm hungry." Xia Zimo said that with a force in his hand, he dragged Qiu Luoxue into the carriage.

Ahem, it turns out that they haven't let go of their hands since just now.

Qiu Luoxue and Xia Zimo had just arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion on the front foot, and Xia Ziyan on the back foot also followed.

"It seems that there are quite a few people who have come to eat today, you wait in the main hall for a while, I'll prepare lunch, Imperial Doctor Xu, help me take care of them." After Qiu Luoxue finished speaking, she went to prepare lunch.

Everyone sat down around the dinner table, Xia Zimo naturally sat in the main seat, followed by Qiu Luoxue and Xia Ziyan, the two sat beside him one on the left and one on the right, and Xu Zhonghang sat next to Qiu Luoxue.

The four of them sat around the round table, looking at the dismal dishes on the huge table.

"How is this ...... All vegetarian dishes? Xia Ziyan asked dumbfounded.

"Alas~" Qiu Luoxue sighed and said, "The government has recently cut expenses, let's eat alive."

"No, I cut expenses last time, but I still have meat, it's only been a few days, and you've cut too much." Xia Ziyan said.

Qiu Luoxue pointed at Xia Zimo, looked like a complaint, and said, "It's all good things he did, you ask him."

"What does this have to do with my royal brother?" Xia Ziyan asked.

"He doubled the amount of money to the ministers of the court, but he asked my prime minister's office to pay for it. If I don't cut my expenses and live frugally, where will I have money for those ministers? Qiu Luoxue began to cry.

Xia Ziyan also felt that this was not right, and said unjustly for Qiu Luoxue: "Brother Huang, how can the minister's Yulu let Luo Xue come out?"

Xia Zimo sighed and said, "Alas~ The treasury has not been abundant recently, how can there be so much money to give the minister a fortune, and you have to cut expenses." The ministers were affected because of the prime minister, and the prime minister naturally came out. ”

Xia Ziyan looked at these two people who were crying poor one after another, and said, "You two, it's really ...... Alas~ Even if this is the case, you can't make such a simple dish, it's too shabby. ”

"Simple? This is not an easy dish. Qiu Luoxue introduced seriously: "These dishes are all home-grown, natural and pollution-free, green and additive-free, and can supplement calcium, iron, zinc, selenium, vitamins and other nutrients, which is not simple at all."

Xia Ziyan listened with a blanket face, reacted for a long time, and still didn't understand, so he asked Imperial Doctor Xu, "Do you understand?"

"I don't understand." Xu Zhonghang replied.

"Ah, I can't at all." Xia Ziyan said regretfully, and then said: "Even so, we can't just prepare these dishes."

"What's wrong with these dishes? There are four of us, eight dishes and one soup, which is more than enough. Qiu Luoxue said.

"It's obviously four dishes." Xia Zimo corrected.

"No, it's eight dishes." Qiu Luoxue said.

Xu Zhonghang, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help it, and quietly patted Qiu Luoxue and said, "My lord, it's four dishes."

"It's eight dishes." Qiu Luoxue said stubbornly.

"It's obviously four dishes." Xia Ziyan said, "Greens, radish, potatoes, cabbage. Isn't it four dishes? ”

"And these."

Qiu Luoxue pointed to the things on the table and said, and everyone looked in the direction of his finger.

"Green onions, garlic, ginger, miso. That's a total of eight dishes, yes. Qiu Luoxue said seriously.

Xia Ziyan looked at Qiu Luoxue with a expression on his face, and said, "Are you kidding?"

"No, I'm super serious right now." Qiu Luoxue replied.

After speaking, seeing that the others didn't move the chopsticks, she picked up the chopsticks first and said to Imperial Doctor Xu: "If they don't eat, forget it, let's eat."

The two brothers, Xia Ziyan and Xia Zimo, glanced at each other, this was definitely the most vegetarian dish the two of them had ever seen in their lives. But what can be done? They didn't invite them, they had to come over by themselves, so they could only pick up chopsticks to eat.

Xia Zimo raised his chopsticks and wanted to pick up the vegetables, but he felt that he didn't know where to start, he hesitated for a long time, but he put down the chopsticks and said: "Starting from my ancestors, I have rewarded the Qiu family with countless gold and silver treasures, even if it is necessary to give the ministers, the prime minister will not have to live so poorly in the future."

"Do you know where to put the gold and silver treasures?" As soon as Qiu Luoxue heard that she was rich, her eyes immediately lit up, and she approached Xia Zimo and asked.

"How would I know?" Xia Zimo said.

Qiu Luoxue's expression immediately changed from joy to loss, and said, "I don't know where it is."

"Anyway, it's in a vault or something, and there's always something to look for." Xia Zimo said casually.

Haha, I knew that there were definitely treasures in this Prime Minister's Mansion, and as I expected, the emperor said it himself, there must be one.

At night, Qiu Luoxue was bored alone, so she began to think about where to put the treasure of Xiangfu. Hey, it's not good to have the memory of this body deity, obviously a rich man, but he doesn't know where to put his money, it's really embarrassing.

"Where will you put your baby?"

Underground vaults? But the Prime Minister's Mansion is so big, who knows that the underground vault is in that corner of the place, it is unrealistic to find an underground vault, and I haven't seen a place like a vault for so many days.

Treasure Chamber? But I've seen the Treasure Pavilion and the Library Pavilion, but I've never seen what the Treasure Pavilion looks like.

"It's definitely not blatantly put outside, it's going to be by your side, and it's not easy for others to find out. This kind of place ......"

"Childe, why did you put the jade pendant indiscriminately, what an important thing this is." Qiu Luoxue was thinking about it, and Weak Water took a jade pendant from the outside and walked in.

"Ah, that, I forgot to take it when I put it outside." Qiu Luoxue said with an embarrassed smile.

"The prime minister said first, this is a very important jade pendant, you must carry it with you, you can't lose it." Weak water admonished again.

"Is it a very important jade pendant? Why? Qiu Luoxue asked.

"Childe, you don't know something, how can the slave know." Weak water said.

Qiu Luoxue took the jade pendant from her hand and looked at it carefully for a while, but she couldn't see any clues except for the exquisite workmanship.

"Alright, you go down first." Qiu Luoxue said.

After driving everyone away, I started thinking about the so-called treasure hiding place again.

According to what is written in the novel, in the bedrooms, study rooms and ancestral halls of ordinary rich and noble families, there must be valuable things. Anyway, I don't have anything to do tonight, so why don't I check it out.

In the ancestral hall, it's too dark and gloomy at night, so forget it. In the bedroom, there must be nothing in my bedroom (because it has long been turned over).

Generally speaking, there is a greater chance that something is hidden in the master bedroom. The master bedroom of this family is the yard where Qiu Luoxue's parents live, because her father Qiu Yinghao is a model worker, no, it should be said that the Qiu family is a model worker in the era, so the study and bedroom are connected.

"It seems that I should be in the study or bedroom of the main courtyard, walk up, look for gold and silver treasures, haha, I feel that I will soon become a little rich woman."

Thinking of this, Qiu Luoxue couldn't hold back the excitement in her heart, and immediately set off to look for treasures.
