Chapter 204: The Female Cook
Yang Guang was anxious to get out of the town and the state, just for the sake of fighting on the battlefield and making contributions, after listening to Changsun Sheng's words, he was quite disapproving, but because he had not seen Changsun Sheng for many days, it was inconvenient to talk back to him in person, so he handed over the "Iron Hoof Dragon" to Xian Yu Luo Haosheng to feed, and he asked Changsun Sheng to return to the main hall to sit down and speak.

Seeing that Yang Guang was talking about it left and right, Changsun Sheng did not respond to him positively, he had already seen his thoughts, and he didn't say anything more at the moment, only hugged his fists and said: "Your Highness, I came to the door today to ask for a meeting, in addition to returning the 'Iron Hoof Dragon' to Your Highness, I actually said goodbye to Your Highness." ”
"Oh? But I wonder where Mr. is going? Yang Guang asked with concern while instructing people to prepare wine and dinner.
"Since a dozen days ago, after a certain order to send Luo Yu's father and son to leave Chang'an, he received a new mission: to go out of Longyou Road to welcome the envoy of Datou Khan, Jinjing. I haven't come to the prince's mansion these days, and that's what happened. The eldest grandson replied, "I don't think about it, I only sent away the envoy of Datou Khan yesterday, and His Majesty urgently summoned a certain person to enter the palace, and asked him to leave Beijing tomorrow to go north, out of the Huanglong Road, to Liaoxi, and to envoy the Khitan and tapir departments. ”
Yang Guang has been engrossed in investigating cases and taking people these days, and he has never heard of these things, after listening to Changsun Sheng's brief explanation, he thought for a while, and asked in confusion: "Sir, in the past few days, I have been looking at the map of the northern territory in the Fuzhong, the territory of the Datou Khan is in the northwest, and the Khitan and tapir tribes are in the northeast, with a difference of thousands of miles in between, why would my father hand over the two errands to Mr. to handle?" ”
"It's true. Before His Majesty's resignation yesterday, His Majesty asked His Highness to come before leaving Beijing, and explained to His Highness a little about the reason for his envoy to Liaoxi. Changsun Sheng smiled slightly and replied calmly, "As His Highness said, Datou Khan is now the Western Turkic Khan, and the Khitan and Tapir tribes are east of the Eastern Turkic territory. A few days ago, His Majesty adopted a certain suggestion and wanted to do a divisive plan against the Turks, so there was a matter of the servant Qing Yuanhui sending an envoy to Datou Khan and giving him a wolf's head, according to the will revealed by the Datou Khan to Chang'an: At present, Datou obviously does not dare to openly break with his nephew Sha Bo and make friends with my Great Sui alone. At this time, Goguryeo, a foreign country far away in Liaodong, had the desire to dominate again, and slightly colluded with the Eastern Turkic sand bowls, and sent the Khitan and tapir tribes to cross the Great Wall to the south, intending to turn Youyan and other places into their new pastures. His Majesty wanted to take this opportunity to send an envoy to the Khitan and Tapir tribes, and strongly persuaded his tribal chieftains to move south to join our Great Sui, so as to get rid of the dual envoys of Goguryeo and the Eastern Turks, so as to weaken the strength of Sha Bolu and Gao Baoning in the western Liaoxi area, and also lay the groundwork for further persuading Datou to make friends with our court. ”
It was only the Turkic and Northern Qi remnant general Gao Baoning who colluded with each other to capture Linyu Pass in one fell swoop, and now Goguryeo, who was far away in Liaodong, took the opportunity to make waves, Yang Guang also felt that the situation in the north was developing in a grim direction, and couldn't help frowning.
"Your Highness, now that the imperial court is at war with Nan Chen, and the situation in the north is changing suddenly, long live not only intends to entrust the affairs of the north to His Highness, but also hopes that His Highness can experience the holy will with his heart, and study the geography of the mountains and rivers in the north and the details of the tribes, so that he can share and solve problems for His Majesty in the future. If His Royal Highness has nothing to order, he will leave. What should be said, Changsun Sheng has already said it to Yang Guang, so he didn't delay any longer, immediately stood up, hugged his fists at Yang Guang and said goodbye, and wanted to turn around and leave.
Seeing this, Yang Guang hurriedly got up and stopped Changsun Sheng, and said sincerely: "Xiao Wang has always taught Mr. Domeng, and today Mr. Cheng came to tell him many things, and there is no way to repay him, please stay for a while, Xiao Wang has ordered someone to prepare wine and dinner, and the right is to go north for Mr. today, please use the wine and dinner before leaving." As he spoke, he loudly ordered the servants in the house to serve wine and rice.
After a while, he saw Xiao Xiao in front and Se Se behind, and his two personal maids actually walked into the hall with trays in their hands.
When the two maids laid out the wine and rice on the tray on the same table in front of Yang Guang and Changsun Sheng, Yang Guang saw at a glance that one of the dishes looked very familiar, as if it was the "picky chicken" that Xie Wei was good at cooking, and blurted out to the two maids at the moment: "Who made this 'pickled chicken'?" ”
Hearing that the prince really asked about this "pick-up chicken", he pursed his lips and turned his head to look at Xiao Xiao beside him, Xiao Xiao hurriedly replied: "Back to the prince's words, this 'pick-up chicken' was made by the servant, and it was given by Xie Xian." ”
Yang Guang saw that Xiao Xiao's face was flushed when he answered, and he faintly seemed to be shy, so he nodded thoughtfully, and didn't ask any more questions at the moment, only picked up a bottle of wine and toasted to Changsun Sheng.
Changsun Sheng had a lot of official business that needed to be handled properly before leaving Beijing, so he had no intention of staying in the Jin Palace, so he hurriedly drank three bottles of wine, chewed a spoonful of "picky chicken" silk in his mouth, smiled and nodded at Xiao Xiao frequently, and then got up again to say goodbye.
"Lord Yu, Yu Xiaoren and Yu Gongzi are now asking to see you outside the mansion." At this time, a Qianniu sergeant guarding the gate of the mansion came to report to Yang Guangyu.
"Hyo-in has a blessing today, please invite him in." Yang Guang saw that Changsun Sheng insisted on leaving, and it was inconvenient to forcibly keep him, so he instructed the sergeant to invite Yu Xiaoren into the mansion, and at the same time stood up and wanted to personally send Changsun Sheng out of the mansion.
Changsun Sheng tried his best to persuade Yang Guang to stay in the main hall, and told him two words while studying the situation in the north with his heart, don't forget to practice the art of riding and archery every day, so he turned around and left the Jin Palace, and left.
As soon as Changsun Sheng walked with his front feet, Yu Xiaoren, who was smiling, walked into the hall happily.
"Xiaoquan, have you eaten early today? If you haven't used it yet, let's use some together. Yang Guang smiled and ordered Yu Xiaoren to sit on the seat of the eldest grandson Sheng, and pointed to the wine and rice on the table in front of him and said.
Yu Xiaoren is familiar with informality, listening to Yang Guang say this, although he had eaten before he came, he really didn't say anything polite to Yang Guang, and he didn't use chopsticks, he reached out and picked up a piece of chicken thigh meat and put it in his mouth, chewed and swallowed, and praised inartishly while eating: "Today, I was fortunate to eat Chef Xie's 'wisp chicken' cooked early in the morning, which is really a great joy in life." Lord Wang, I regret it a little now: I shouldn't have recommended Xie Wei to Lord Wang a few days ago, if I had left him at my house, wouldn't I have been able to eat such delicious food every day? ”
