The land of the Central Plains has reached the season of withering, and a few snowfalls in early winter have turned the earth blanket. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 A convoy of carriages drove on the flat official road, and it was the mission led by Xu Yangzheng who was rushing back to the capital. This is already the boundary of Yunzhou, and the nameless hill next to the road has now been named Panlong Mountain, and a small temple has been built on the top of the mountain. Although the temple is small but not low, all use the golden glazed tile to pave the roof, and the plaque "Ejian Yunlong Temple" several gilded big characters shimmer brightly.

The incense of the small temple is very prosperous, the main hall in the temple is not the god and Buddha, but the life-size statue of the emperor of Haotian today, and the portrait of the king of Liaodong on the left, and the portrait of Zhou Xiaoxian on the right. Therefore, this small temple is also known as Haotian Temple, which was built by the local people with funds, and it is also a royal temple registered by the Ministry of Officials, and this incense is naturally prosperous.

Bai Rilun and Xu Yangzheng walked into the mountain gate, and faced a tall stone tablet engraved with the story of the Emperor Haotian, Wang Meng and Long Xingrong who worshiped the enemy here. It's just that there is no portrait of Long Xingrong in the main hall, and only Zhou Xiaoxian replaces him.

He nodded and said, "The past is like yesterday, and justice is in the hearts of the people." ”

"That's right, let's go to Yunzhou City, the old couple of Boss Ji, who stewed wontons three times, are back, and they are back in the old business, and the taste is still as good as it was at the beginning."

"Really? That's what I should have tasted, I haven't eaten it for more than ten years, and I miss that taste very much. ”

"Then don't delay, please defend the country."

"Lord Xu, please."

Wei Guogong is the new title of Greeting Rilun, since it is the lord of the country who was defeated and surrendered, he is usually given a title, of course, it is just a false name. Today's Celestial Wolf Khanate cannot claim to be the Celestial Wolf Khanate in the national credentials, and its lord can only call himself a subordinate.

The business of the three wonton restaurants in Yunzhou City is better than before, because the emperor once ate here, and the table was placed in the middle of the lobby, and it was covered tightly with bright yellow satin. This is also allowed by the Ministry of Rites, otherwise who would dare to use the color in the common people's homes. The diners wished to sit next to the table, saying that they could get His Majesty's ruiqi. Therefore, the business of the Sanhui wonton shop is very hot, and many people are standing in the store with bowls to eat. Even the delicate stables across the street from the shop have tables and chairs, and there are people eating there. And it's not cheap to eat there. Why? Because His Majesty's beloved horse, the Shenwu General Chi Yan, was eating wontons here back then.

But today, this delicate stable has really become a stable, a tall horse covered in fiery charcoal, snorting incessantly inside, and scratching the blue brick floor with its hooves.

"Come on, come on, let you wait for a long time, but our wontons wont taste good if they are not cooked, and they will lose the face of the owner, right? Don't worry, the little ones are waiting for you. ”

The bearded guy said as he held a large pot of wontons and shook the basin carefully to keep the wontons cool. The two imperial court officials beside Chi Yan were very surprised to see this guy chatting with Chi Yan, and what surprised them even more was that Chi Yan, who was very hot-tempered, actually didn't bite this guy.

"Dude, do you know our family's Chiyan?"

"Of course. I think that at the beginning, His Majesty came to Yunzhou in a white fish dragon suit, and it was the wonton that I ate at my house, and it was also the wonton that I personally served Uncle Chiyan to eat. Three pots, three whole pots. I haven't seen him all these years, Uncle Chiyan has become more powerful, and he must have eaten more. I use the best fillings today, to ensure that each thin skin and big filling, take a bite and lose your teeth, I don't believe you can taste it. ”

The horse officer came over and picked up one and tasted it, nodding and praising it again and again.

"The three raviolis really live up to their reputation."

"That is, a hundred years of craftsmanship is not blown. The two of you sit down first, eat slowly, and wait for me to finish serving Uncle Chiyan, and then come to serve the two of you. ”

"Haha, I think you should go back to Beijing with us, and serve General Chiyan. The general has a violent temper, but he is very affectionate to acquaintances, I see you can do it. ”

"That's a good feeling, then don't I want to eat the imperial grain?"

"Yes, if you agree, just go with us, Your Majesty will not treat us badly. I think that back then, I was also a member of the regimental training in Woniu Town, and I followed Your Majesty to fight in all directions, and I have always taken care of Chiyan for Your Majesty, and Your Majesty made me commander-in-chief, but I just didn't go, and I was reluctant to Chiyan. ”

"Aren't you a general, then? God, the general raises horses. ”

"Hahaha, what kind of general am I, I am a general, that is, a colonel."

"That's not small, the city captain of Yunzhou is also a colonel, wow, it can't be compared to you."

Bald Lulu, Chiyan and others were in a hurry, urging the guy to feed himself wontons. The guy hurriedly fed Chi Yan with a wooden spoon, and carefully wiped his mouth for it, the guy looked at Chi Yan who was squinting his eyes when he ate, and his face smiled like a flower.

Boss Ji and his wife have aged a lot, but because of the comfortable life, the old couple are ruddy, and Aunt Lu is even more kind and kind now that she is fatter, and her new clothes make her a little more noble. Originally, the old couple didn't have to work hard, but the old shop has been handed over to the eldest grandson and the younger couple to manage. The young couple also competed and learned the craftsmanship of the old Ji family, plus the people are also kind, so the neighbors say that the old Ji family has a successor.

But today is a special day, and the three wonton restaurants have been chartered. You can see the heads of people coming in and out here, they look like ordinary people, but you only need to take a closer look and you will find it. The old man who was sitting in the middle of the hall squinting and napping with his eyes was not Zhou Ruhai, the prince of Chu Guo, the prince of the dynasty, and then look at these people around, Wang Meng, Zhou Xiaoxian, Ouyang Xiu, Ximen Qing, Yuan Chong, Fan Jin, etc., which one is not a well-known product of the dynasty. The small three-time wonton shop has become the Imperial Cabinet. With these gods here, Boss Ji and his wife can not accompany them in person. Aunt Lu smiled and took a plate of freshly baked dim sum from her granddaughter-in-law's hand, and patted her granddaughter-in-law's pretty face with disgust.

"I'm so afraid, Your Majesty was about the same age as you back then, and it was still the wontons that the old body personally served to Your Majesty, how can the old body not be afraid."

"You're a grandmother~~~~"

The granddaughter-in-law whispered, lowered her head and hid in the back kitchen. Anyway, there are a few top chefs there, so you have to learn two tricks quickly.

Aunt Lu put the dim sum in front of Zhou Ruhai and Yan Hui, and made a squatting ceremony for her daughter-in-law to meet the elders. Although Aunt Lu's hair is gray, she is definitely a junior in front of Zhou Ruhai.

"You always try this freshly baked quiche, it's soft and fluffy, just right for you to get old."

"Hehe, you have a heart. Why didn't Xiao Ji come to talk? ”

"He, you don't know his temperament yet, he can't beat a fart with three sticks. Oh, look what I'm talking about. ”

"Hahaha, it's okay. When the old man was in Cangshan, he would lead his disciples to your house to eat wontons every time Mu Xiu arrived, and Xiao Ji was still very good at talking at that time. ”

"Hey, you don't know, my family likes to watch young children, when His Majesty came to my store, my family was also full of joy."

Hahaha, the room full of imperial ministers was laughing happily. In fact, listening to the people's words and talking more can also be very moving, and the courtiers are racking their brains hard day by day, isn't it also for the people to live a better and more comfortable life? Looking at the lives of the people of the empire now, what official is not full of pride in his heart.

Bai Rilun and Xu Yang are leading their horses and strolling on the street, Yunzhou City is much more prosperous than in the past, people come and go on the street, and the sound of selling is endless. He saw the people carrying baskets and buying them from the streets, and the baskets contained all kinds of goods, including wine and meat. There are even some mothers who hold flower cloths and compare them with their children, and the children's little hands are either holding sugar gourds or cakes, and the red smiling faces are like blooming camellias. The laughter on the street and the loud greetings on the street show that the people's hearts are full of energy, and that the people's life is good.

"That's great, this is the image of prosperity."

"Wei Guogong is right, now the empire is in order and the people are rich, which is indeed a sign of prosperity."

"Two~~Brother~~~"

A call came, and Bai Rilun raised his eyes to look, and tears couldn't help but slide down his cheeks. I saw Wang Meng, who was dressed in a fur suit, standing in front of him.

"Third brother, it's always good not to see you for many years?"

Wang Meng's lips trembled and he didn't say anything, he stepped forward and took the reins of the horse from Bai Rilun's hand.

"Second brother, do you remember the three ravioli? We're going to eat him again. ”

"Well, I won't lose to you this time."

Xu Yangzheng sighed quietly and twisted his face elsewhere.

When Wang Meng pulled Rilun to the door of the three wonton shops, he saw Yanhui standing in front of the door waiting for them.

"Why don't you wear the fur fur that Mengzi gave you? Are you strong enough to withstand the cold? ”

"No, I can't afford to wear it. Even the clothes given by the elder brother and sister-in-law, the younger brother still keeps them well. I am reluctant to wear it, but I am afraid that I will not have to wear it in the future. ”

Yan Hui looked at Rilun for a long time, and reached out to wipe the tears from his face for him. Then, Yan Hui untied his bear skin and draped it over Ri Lun.

"Your Majesty, your subordinates are guilty, how can you accept Your Majesty's gift."

"This is for you by the eldest brother, go, go in and warm up."

When he entered the store, he saw that the Manchu Dynasty was full of civil and military personnel, and he hurriedly bowed his hand, and the ministers also returned the salute one after another, but it was not as hot as just now. This situation is embarrassing, and Rilun came to Zhou Ruhai and bowed three times.

"Meet the Taishi, are you still safe?"

"It's okay, sit down. After a hard journey, use some hot tea to get rid of the cold first. ”

Peach Blossom pulled out a chair and asked Sunny Lun to sit down, and after Sunny Lun sat down, he patted Peach Blossom's hand and said, "Peach Blossom, has it always been good?" ”

"Okay~~~, are you ~~~ okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay."

Peach Blossom walked out of the store and stood at the door, crying silently. He smiled and turned to Yan Hui and said, "Peach Blossom is a loyal person. ”

"Yes, now that I'm grown up, the peach blossom who pretended to be a little beauty back then can't be seen."

"What my brother said is very true, how good it would be if people couldn't grow up."

"Then you will lose a lot of fun and you will not appreciate the true meaning of life."

"What my brother says is always so reasonable, it's irrefutable."

"That's because you don't really appreciate what's most important."

Bai Rilun nodded and said no more. Aunt Lu personally served the hot tea and handed it to Rilun.

"Take a sip of hot tea."

Bai Rilun took the hot tea and looked at the kind Aunt Lu, thinking of her mother who died in the chaos.

"Thank you, auntie, you are still so healthy, I don't know if Uncle Ji is good."

Aunt Lu held back her tears and turned around and pointed at Boss Ji, Boss Ji smiled and arched her hand at Rilun, turned around but wiped her eyes.

"Big brother, the second brother must have been hungry all the way, why don't you eat first, let's compare this time."

"Hahaha, okay."

Yan Hui and Bai Rilun replied at the same time, and the hot wontons were served. He was intoxicated with the smell of incense, and took another sip of soup.

"It's still the same taste, it hasn't changed at all."

"Two brothers, the younger brother ate first."

As soon as Wang Meng said a word, he picked up the bowl and stuffed it violently, also to hide the tears in his eyes. Once three good brothers, reunited in the old place after many years, there was no joy between them, only indescribable complex emotions in their hearts. This time, Rilun won, and even after eating three bowls, he couldn't sit still. Wang Meng and Yan Hui only ate two bowls each before stopping, watching Bai Rilun gobble up.

"It's still the same smell."

The brothers said a word at the same time, and Zhou Ruhai shook his head lightly without saying a word. The brother is still talking about the same taste, just talking about wontons, and there is no other meaning. The three high-spirited teenagers back then, the three good brothers who rushed to eat wontons, now due to their different status and identity, because they have experienced so many past events, there is no longer any feeling between them.

Before the end of the year, in the eternal peace palace of the Shenlong Empire, the emperor Yan Hui accepted the congratulations of hundreds of officials, received the audience of envoys from various countries, and accepted the credentials handed over by Bai Rilun. The national letter of the Heavenly Wolf Khanate said: The lower kingdom will meet His Majesty the Great Emperor of the Shenlong Empire, and the lower kingdom will from now on meet His Majesty with courtesy, and the lord of the lower kingdom will serve His Majesty as the monarch's father, and the subjects of the lower kingdom will be the ministers of the monarch's father. Lord of the Lower Kingdom: Greeting Rilun.

His Majesty the Emperor of the Shenlong Empire canonized Bai Rilun as the Duke of Weiguo, and gave him a mansion for him to live in, with 10,000 taels of gold and 100 brocades. and decreed that the Duke of Wei Guo was not allowed to step out of the house for half a step without a decree.
