Chapter 80: New Year's Greetings
"Queen, what about Qian'er's marriage, I will consider it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info let's taste the dumplings first! Emperor Ling picked up a dumpling and put it in the queen's dish.
The emperor often decided to leave someone to accompany him to the meal, so the tableware on the table was spared, and when everyone was talking, there were eunuchs who had already prepared tableware for the queen and the princess Wannian.
"Dumplings? What is it? Empress Lingsi was puzzled, but she no longer kept a straight face, eased up a little, and after tasting it, Empress Lingsi's face was pleasantly surprised, "Your Majesty, the concubine has never tasted such food, is this called dumplings?" ”
"Exactly, Qian'er, come, taste it too." Emperor Ling also sandwiched a dumpling to Liu Qian.
Although the Lingdi recorded in history has a bad reputation, it is still very good for relatives, and when relatives get together, Lingdi Liu Hong becomes an ordinary husband and father.
"This dumpling was created by Zicheng, how about it? It's okay to eat, right? "Spirit Emperor Dao.
Jiang Sheng's battle story has long been made into a joke by the storyteller to speak everywhere, and Emperor Ling has also heard a lot, and the Spring Festival couplets made Emperor Ling take a look at Jiang Shenggao, and when this dumpling comes up, Emperor Ling attaches more importance to Jiang Sheng, and now look at it, this is a favored minister.
The queen was silent, maybe she felt that her attitude towards Jiang Sheng was a little too much, obviously Emperor Ling had a good impression of Jiang Sheng now.
"Emperor, queen, princess, it's getting late, Weichen is leaving!" Jiang Sheng didn't want to disturb the Spirit Emperor to enjoy the joy of family anymore.
"Zicheng, I am very optimistic about you, you must not live up to my expectations." Emperor Ling looked at Jiang Sheng, and then glanced at Liu Qian, Emperor Ling's meaning was too obvious, that is, he wanted Jiang Sheng to try to be the concubine of Princess Wannian.
Emperor Ling was originally a fun and free person, seeing that Liu Qian was interested in Jiang Sheng, Jiang Sheng was favored by Emperor Ling, and he was also a person who was both civil and military, so Emperor Ling would have this intention, if it weren't for this, he Jiang Sheng was not a child of a high-ranking official and nobleman, and he was not in the right household, I believe that no matter which emperor would not marry the princess so easily, right?
Emperor Ling is so obvious, Jiang Sheng will not be unaware, but he can't accept it, Jiang Sheng pretended to be stupid, and said: "Weichen must govern Le'an County for the emperor." After saying that, he bowed and retired.
Liu Qian watched Jiang Sheng leave, but Jiang Sheng did not look back.
"You idiot!" Liu Qian scolded secretly, tears flowed out.
Emperor Ling doted on Liu Qian, and couldn't bear to see her like this, so he said: "Zicheng wants to govern Le'an County for me, if he does a good job, I will let him be ranked in the court in the future." ”
"The emperor doesn't want Qian'er to marry that Jiang Sheng, right? The concubine did not agree. Empress Lingsi's attitude was clear.
"Queen, this Jiang Sheng is both civil and military, and it is okay for Qian'er to marry him, but I don't think that Jiang Sheng has this intention, and this matter needs to be considered in the long run."
"Your Majesty, the princess must marry the right family, this Jiang Sheng-"
"Let's discuss this matter again, if Jiang Sheng is interested in Qian'er, I have no objection, as for the right person, the matter is up to people." Emperor Ling is a statement, that is to say, as long as Jiang Sheng proposes to marry the princess, Emperor Ling will be gracious, and the title of marquis is also a matter of Emperor Ling's words.
The Spring Festival in the Eastern Han Dynasty had a sixteen-day holiday, that is, from Chinese New Year's Eve to the fifteenth day of the first month, there was no need to go to court, and the three princes and nine Qing provinces did not need to work, and it was really a holiday.
Songhelou is also on holiday, and some of the guys have also returned to their hometowns, but Jiang Sheng's proposal still interests Zhen Yan.
"It's a big holiday, and the three princes and nine governments don't have to work, so it's a good time for us to make friends with them. If we open on a long holiday, business is bound to be booming. ”
"However, during the Spring Festival, they all visited relatives and friends, and did not patronize the restaurant."
"When visiting relatives and friends, you can't eat and drink and entertain? We launched a dumpling feast in Songhe Tower! ”
"Dumpling feast? The dumplings you just said you ate with the emperor in the palace? Zhen Yan said.
"Exactly, the other dishes are the same, but this main meal will be changed to eating dumplings."
"But most of the guys in the restaurant have returned to their hometowns."
"Then keep the other dishes simple and serve as side dishes, and the dumplings are the real feast."
As soon as he said to do it, Jiang Sheng took a group of people from Songhelou to start preparing, and then posted a notice on red paper outside the store, saying that Songhelou would be open on the fourth day of the first lunar month, and only a dumpling banquet would be launched, and fifty dumplings would be given away for lunch on the opening day.
The people don't know what this "dumpling feast" is, and they all feel fresh, but there is an eye-catching word called free, which has attracted many good people to consult.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zhen Yan sent red envelopes to the guys left behind in Songhe Tower, and then went to the mansion of the court officials with Jiang Sheng to pay New Year's greetings. Jiang Sheng only then knew why the Zhen family in Jizhou would be strong, just look at the court officials who made friends, since Sikong Zhang Wen and the three princes and nine kings were seven, and the three rank and above the sixteen court officials, Jiang Sheng also knew Zhang Wen, Yuan Kui, Yang Ci and other second-grade officials, which was of great benefit to the future development.
At the same time of greeting the New Year, Zhen Yan did not forget to inform about the dumpling banquet and warmly invited these dignitaries to taste. After visiting these people, Jiang Sheng took Zhen Yan to visit Yuan Shao, the captain of the General's Mansion, Zhen Yan didn't know why he wanted to visit this person, Jiang Sheng said that the Zhen family would rely on this person in Jizhou in the future.
Due to the influence of Zhen Yi, Zhen Yan was convinced of Jiang Daxian'er's words, and prepared a generous gift to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao was deeply surprised, but after thinking about it, he was relieved, Yuan Shao said that he wanted to help Jiang Sheng intercede, but later heard that Jiang Sheng had been appointed, so he didn't say anything more.
Jiang Sheng exchanged a few words with Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao said that he would often communicate with Jiang Sheng in the future and treat each other with sincerity.
After returning from the barracks, Zhen Yan went back to the restaurant, and Jiang Sheng also had to visit the ten permanent servants.
Although Zhang Rang and others had already had a problem with Jiang Sheng, Jiang Sheng still decided to go to them to pay New Year's greetings and ease the conflict.
"Jiang Taishou has won the sacred heart, why do you still remember our family?" Zhang Rang spoke in a weird way.
"Zicheng deeply feels the support and love of the adult, the emperor loves Zicheng, it is all for the sake of the adult's face, otherwise how can Zicheng be virtuous, and can he get the emperor's favor?" Jiang Sheng said humbly.
"I haven't forgotten my roots. Our family can hold you to the sky, and naturally we can step on you into the ground, as long as you do things for our family, fame and fortune are indispensable to you. ”
"Zicheng keeps it in mind and thanks Lord for his cultivation. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zicheng came to greet the adults, and a small gift was not a tribute, and I hope the adults will accept it with a smile. Jiang Sheng took out a golden eagle tiger to Zhang Rang, because he found out that Zhang Rang belonged to the tiger.
Zhang Rang couldn't put it down, it seemed that Jiang Sheng had eliminated the mustard in his heart.
Jiang Sheng looked at Zhang Rang, and scolded his ancestors for the eighteenth generation in his heart, let you be stunned for a few more years, and come back to clean you up when the time is ripe!
The rest of the nine permanent servants are the same, they regard Jiang Sheng as their own again, Jiang Sheng's move was not understood by the Zhen family, they felt that it was really difficult for Jiang Sheng to be mixed with the ten permanent servants, but Zhen Yi sent a message back and asked Zhen Yan to meet all Jiang Sheng's needs.
