"Da Changqiu turned out to be such a powerful official!" Zhao Zhong remembered Cao Song's words and asked Cao Fu on the road, "What is Da Changqiu", Cao Fu thought that if he entered the mansion, it would not be a secret, so he told Zhao Zhong and his sisters......

Changqiu Palace, the residence of the Queen of the Han Dynasty, the elders have been for a long time, and the autumn is the beginning of the maturity of all things, the queen mother of the world, the blessing is long, upright and serious, and it is the name of the palace. And this Da Changqiu is the head of the queen's close attendants, in charge of the affairs of the Changqiu Palace, and proclaims the queen's will.

"The master has gone through five dynasties, and no one in the palace knows better than him." When Cao Fu talked about Cao Teng, his expression was full of respect, and when he heard Zhao Zhong praise his master, he was also happy in his heart, so he couldn't help but say a few more words.

"The current emperor is supported by the lord and the general, the second sister of the general is the current empress dowager, and the third sister is the current queen. The old man was named the Great Changqiu, Fei Tinghou because of his meritorious service in welcoming the new emperor. Cao Fu continued.

"Hey, why are the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother sisters?" Although Zhao Zhong said that he didn't understand so many court things, the queen and the empress dowager still knew, and the empress dowager was the emperor's grandmother, how could it be ......

"Little boy, you don't know something, the current Empress Dowager is the queen of Emperor Shun, and then Emperor Shun's young son Emperor Chong ascended the throne, but died early, and then established Emperor Qian, but this Emperor is not Emperor Shun's parent, but he is still the same generation as Emperor Chong, and Emperor Chong was also ...... eight years early" Cao Fu said here, unconsciously his tone was a little vague, as if he didn't want to mention it.

"After Emperor Shun and Emperor Chong had no heirs, the general and the Empress Dowager had to find another line, the grandson of the King of Hejian, that is, when today's son is the emperor, and when today's son and Emperor Shun are the same generation, the Empress Dowager married her sister to the saint, this Empress Dowager has gone through many dynasties, so she became the Empress Dowager......"

Cao Fu knew a lot about the royal affairs, but Zhao Zhong could hear it in a fog, this emperor in the east and an emperor in the west, he didn't know who was who, but he understood the meaning that the current emperor and the empress dowager were peers, so he nodded as if he didn't understand.

"Just because several emperors have died early since Emperor Shun, the government is upheld by the Queen Mother, and today's son has not performed the rite of adulthood, so the government still listens to the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother needs to rely on her mother's family, in fact, if the general is in charge today, and the lord is close to the general, it is to haha......" These words were said in a very small voice, which was a rebellious word, but seeing that the other party was still a teenager, it didn't hurt to say it, or couldn't help but whisper.

Hearing this, Zhao Zhong couldn't help but be shocked, he couldn't imagine that the Lord Cao he knew was such a powerful person, he was a little fluctuating in the clouds, and he and his sister almost starved to death in the early morning, and the situation was ......

Zhao Zhong listened carefully, but Zhao Yan on the side was absent-minded, and flew to the young man he had just met, listening to it bits and pieces, but Xiao Cao Song had heard these things in the palace many times, not to mention that the child's heart was willing to listen to this, he was impatient to listen to it, and he only looked around to see the lively scene of bustling and selling in the southern city.

"Sister, look, this person can breathe fire, and that person can stand on such a thin bamboo pole." But it is a few people who are performing arts in the city, every time Cao Song sees something fun and good-looking, he calls Zhao Yan "sister, sister", he was reluctant to do so earlier, but when Zhao Yan changed into this fairy-like dress, he liked her even more in his heart, and he couldn't stop it after screaming.

Zhao Yan was called by Xiao Cao Song at the beginning, and her face was slightly red, but looking at this immature and innocent face, she really regarded him as a younger brother in her heart, and as soon as her heart opened, she answered a few words from Cao Song from time to time, sometimes laughing, and the two couldn't help but get closer. On the side, Cao Fu was still giving a special lecture, and Zhao Zhong, a student, also listened carefully, and had left the other two behind, forgetting that one was the son to be taken care of, and the other was the sister to be protected......

"Sister, come on, this is my favorite 'fire cloud'" Cao Song didn't see it, his little hand grabbed Zhao Yan's hand, and wanted to pull him to a stall, Zhao Yan first blushed, and then he no longer cared about it, and he pulled it, only to feel that the boy's little hands were delicate.

I saw that the stall was full of people, I don't know what to see, after the two squeezed in, it was a copper round tripod, burning firewood under the tripod, behind the tripod was an old man with white hair, the old man's right arm was very stout, and he was shaking an iron rod connected to the copper tripod vigorously, and the left hand held a bamboo stick, hanging on the copper tripod, and the fingers were kneading the bamboo stick.

Then the miraculous thing appeared, only to see from the bottom of the tripod spewed out a wisp of cotton wool thing, this cotton wool saw this bamboo stick, then wrapped around this bamboo stick, with the old man rubbing the bamboo stick, this cotton wool was wrapped around the bamboo stick, to the end of the cotton wool has the size of a bow, like a small cloud on this bamboo stick, and then the old man took a wooden spoon, scooped out a spoonful of juice in another iron pot on the side, this juice is dark red, the juice is evenly sprinkled on this cotton wool, it is really red wrapped in the cloud, like "fire clouds" The same.

As soon as the old man finished, the people around him clapped their hands and applauded, and the old man handed over the "fire cloud" to a person, who gave the old man a few copper coins and left satisfied. Zhao Yan on the side was also attracted by this miraculous means, and stared at it on the side, while Xiao Cao Song glanced at the girl, and said proudly in her eyes, "Sister, it's fun, it's more delicious, let Cao Fu buy you one." ”

"Young master, young master, are you here......" Cao Fuzheng said and found that the little young master was gone, so he looked around and saw it, and hurriedly ran over.

"Uncle Cao Fu, I want to eat 'Fire Burning Cloud', buy one for me and Sister Yan." Cao Song said to Cao Fu with a light in his eyes.

"Young master, this kind of thing, hey, okay." Saying that, he bought two from the old man, Zhao Yan thanked him, and ate the "fire cloud" in his hand, which really melted in his mouth like a cloud like cotton wool, and was sweet and silky, and gave some to Zhao Zhong to eat, Zhao Zhong said, "It's so sweet, it's delicious." Everyone smiled and walked forward again, and finally arrived at this "Drunken Immortal Residence".

Entering the hall, the shopkeeper immediately came to entertain, knowing that it was a distinguished guest of Caofu, he greeted the elegant seat on the second floor, and waited for the four people to sit down, it was a large round table, which was enough for more than ten people to eat together. The shopkeeper came up and asked, "Mr. Cao, what are you here, are you still as it is?" ”

"I want to eat 'Bazhen Cake', 'Crucian Carp Rice Soup' and 'Roast Venison'." But it was Cao Song who shouted to himself first, he was already hungry, and he had already thought of what to eat all the way.

"It's all, it's all there, young master." Cao Fu shook his head with a smile on the side, thinking that after all, it was a child's heart, and turned to Zhao Zhong's brothers and sisters and said, "Do you two have anything you want to eat?" ”

Where would his brother and sister order, they had even heard these names, they all shook their heads and blushed, Cao Fu smiled, "Then it's as you go, it's still the previous ones." Said to the shopkeeper.

"Okay!" The shopkeeper shouted and went to the back kitchen to order the dishes, and after a stick of incense, the shopkeeper came up with a plate of dishes, while reporting the name of the dish, "Six soups, beef soup, wild duck meat soup, suckling pork soup, mandarin fish lotus soup...... Three kinds of lean meat...... There are dozens of dishes ...... fish belly meat", and there is a big table full of them, and the Zhao Zhong brothers and sisters are stunned, how can they have eaten it, and they have never even seen it.

"Please, two! Young master, please! Cao Fu said to the three of them, Cao Song first took a piece of "Bazhen Cake" and ate it, and said to the two, "Sister, eat it, it's delicious." The two of them were no longer polite, and they ate together, which was really a delicacy of the mountains and seas, and a delicacy of jade food.

Halfway through eating, Zhao Yan put down the bamboo chopsticks, reached under the table, and gently pulled the corner of Zhao Zhong's clothes, Zhao Zhong was eating happily, and before he knew it, Zhao Yan pulled it again, Zhao Zhong realized it, turned his head, and asked, "Sister, what's wrong?" Zhao Yan's face suddenly turned red, and she whispered something in Zhao Zhong's ear. Zhao Yan hehehe, and said to Cao Fu, "Uncle Cao, my sister wants to go to make it convenient, how can there be ......?" As soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Yan's face turned even redder.

"Ah, shopkeeper, this young lady wants to make it easier, where can I ......?" Cao Fu understood that this was human nature, and he didn't care, and asked the shopkeeper.

"Ah, I'll lead the girl to ...... in the back room," he said, and he was going to take Zhao Yan there.

"Sister, I'll go with you!" Zhao Zhong also put down his chopsticks and said.

"Brother...... Daughter's ......" Zhao Yan was a little embarrassed, and said to Zhao Zhong with disgust.

"Then you go for yourself, be careful." Zhao Zhong also felt inappropriate, so he didn't say it anymore, Cao Song was also worried about Zhao Yan, but he hadn't eaten his favorite dishes yet, while looking at Zhao Yan, while looking at the food in his hand, he was reluctant and quite interesting.

Half a moment later, Zhao Yan finished the convenience and was about to go back to the front hall, but suddenly saw a figure rushing into the dry domain (1), flashed behind her, grabbed it with one hand, and covered her mouth and nose with the other......

Note: (1) Dry Domain: The name of the toilet in ancient times, or "圊", "Xuan".
