This conversation between Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Ling'er cannot be written into the annals of history, because the conspiracy in it is too disgraceful, so that everyone in later generations wants to inquire why the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Expedition temporarily changed generals, but there are different opinions, and no one can find a suitable reason. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

People only know that the day after Zhao Gu, the Marquis of Zhuozhou County, returned to Kaifeng, the holy decree appointing him as the marshal of the Western Expedition came down.

When Zhao Gu received the holy decree, he was changing the diapers of his two sons, when he heard the eunuch coming over, he just let out a faint 'oh', until he changed the diaper and washed his hands, and then slowly went to the hall to receive the decree.

There is only one theme of the will, that is, I hope that Zhao Gu can clean up the mess left by Mi Dechao, and continue the Northern Expedition, and strive to return Western Xia to the Great Song Dynasty next year.

Zhao Gu happily accepted the order, and at the same time gave Zhao Ling'er a thumbs up in his heart, who said that this eunuch is not enough to succeed and more than to lose, this time Zhao Gu asked him to do something, didn't he do it very well?

In fact, Zhao Gu could probably guess what Zhao Ling'er would say to Zhao Guangyi, which made him reuse Zhao Gu again, which was nothing more than to let Zhao Guangyi calm down for a while, and wait until the Western Xia returned before unloading the mill and killing the donkey!

As for whether Zhao Gu is a donkey or not, then we can only wait and see.

Maybe Xixia won't be able to get it back in three or five years, maybe it's just these three or five years, you, Zhao Gu has grown to the point that Zhao Guangyi can't find an excuse to kill?

Hehe, who can say what the future will be.

Sending off the eunuch, Zhao Gu found Uncle Li and began to inquire about the affairs in the Hou Mansion for the first time.

I only heard Zhao Gu ask: "Uncle Li, I left dozens of people in the Hou Mansion to watch the house, why is there a bit of depression inside and outside the Hou Mansion, and I have been back for so long, and I haven't seen a few people come to say goodbye, where have all the people in our Mansion gone?" ”

Uncle Li smiled bitterly: "Since you decided to retire, Master Hou, those subordinates who look down on people feel that you have lost your position, and they have the intention of changing their ways, and then you took the ladies to Jiangling Mansion, and these subordinates have basically run out, if it weren't for the fact that our Hou Mansion would not lose their monthly money every month, I am afraid that there is no one except me now." ”

Zhao Gu nodded clearly, people go to high places, and water flows to low places, this is the normal state in the world, he smiled, and did not continue this question.

Zhao Gu followed: "Then Uncle Li, you can recruit some more reliable people, I don't require them to be capable and smart, as long as they are loyal." In addition, you will sign an agreement with these family maids in the future, ranging from one year, two years, three years, five years, and ten years, and the longer the person who signs, the higher the salary, so as to avoid them from leaving if they want to leave, although the Zhuozhou County Marquis Mansion is not a prince's mansion or a Guogong mansion, but in the end it is also a mansion of the powerful. ”

At the beginning, Lu Mengzheng's protégés targeted Zhao Gu and plotted against the first two cooks and men of Baiwei Restaurant, which paralyzed Baiwei Restaurant for a while, and the scene on that day was very similar to today's Zhuozhou County Marquis's Mansion.

After that day, when Zhao Gu recruited people at Baiwei Restaurant, he adopted the contract system, and Zhao Gu wanted to introduce that system to the Hou Mansion.

Uncle Li nodded, signaled that he knew, and then went down to make arrangements.

Zhao Gu took a turn in the backyard and found that Su Xiaocheng and the Cheshire Lord were gone, thinking that they would go to the county lord's mansion, and they were willing to live with Zhao Gu in the deep mountains, but after returning to Kaifeng, with the reserve of the second daughter, it is conceivable that they are unwilling to live in the Hou Mansion.

After saying hello to Liu Qiaoqiao and Shangguan Sisi, Zhao Gu left the Hou Mansion and came to Baiwei Restaurant alone.

Now it's almost time for lunch, and the business of Baiwei Restaurant is as hot as ever, Zhao Gu looked at the name of the store he wrote himself, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile.

Seeing that there was a table vacant in the restaurant, Zhao Gu entered the restaurant, called Xiao Er to order more than ten dishes at random, and then said a few addresses and asked Xiao Er to help invite people to the banquet.

This Xiao Er should be the person who was recruited later, he didn't know Zhao Gu, but the few addresses reported by Zhao Gu were the residences of Li Danran, Er Gouzi, and Hao Baibai, and the business of Baiwei Restaurant was all in charge of the three of them in the past two years, Xiao Er naturally guessed that Zhao Gu was going to entertain them, and couldn't help but be very interested in Zhao Gu's identity, and when Zhao Gu finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Gu several times in a row.

But the guys at Baiwei Restaurant are all qualified, although he was a little suspicious of Zhao Gu, he still sent another Xiao Er to invite someone, and he himself ran to the back kitchen, and whispered to a cook who was turning the spoon: "Master Li, there is a strange guest in the restaurant, he ordered a table of dishes here, and he actually wanted to entertain Boss Li, Boss Hao, and the second boss." ”

Master Li is the Master Li personally recruited by Zhao Gu at the beginning, his wife was helping Master Li cut vegetables on the side, Wen Yan and Master Li glanced at each other, and said: "Lao Li, this person is afraid that he is very familiar with the details of our restaurant, and he will directly invite the three bosses to come over, I am afraid that he has ulterior motives!" ”

Although Master Li is only responsible for cooking most of the time, he is the veteran of Baiwei Restaurant, and the other cooks are brought out by him, and he has a superb status in this Baiwei Restaurant. ”

After speaking, Master Li lifted the curtain and walked out, and immediately saw Zhao Gu sitting at the dinner table smiling.

"Master Hou! You're back! Master Li was pleasantly surprised.

Master Li's wife heard him call Hou Ye, and also came out, but when she saw that it was Zhao Gu, she couldn't help but be very happy, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

When Zhao Gu saw Master Li and his wife again after a year, he also felt a little like a world away, and got up to stop the two, otherwise they saluted, and said with a smile: "You two don't have to be polite, this Baiwei restaurant is thanks to the hard work of your husband and wife, so it can have its current prosperity, speaking of which, I should thank you." ”

Master Li and his wife were not good at words, they smiled when they heard the words, but they didn't know how to reply, Zhao Gu also smiled, and they started a family routine, and after talking for a while, Zhao Gu looked around and asked, "Why didn't you see the two little sisters of rock sugar Sydney?" ”

When Master Li heard this, a trace of nervousness flashed in his eyes, and he said: "It's not all because of those gangs, Boss Li was afraid that the two young ladies would encounter accidents in the restaurant, so he took them to the mansion on the street to live."

"Gangs?" Zhao Gu's expression was cold, he had long known that there were a lot of people from three religions and nine streams in this slum in the north of the city, and there were a few underworld gangs rampant on weekdays, but Baiwei Restaurant was Zhao Gu's industry, and naturally no one dared to make trouble in the property of the dignified marquis, but he didn't want to go back to Kaifeng for a long time, and even a few gangs that were not in the stream dared to come to Baiwei Restaurant to make trouble.
