Chapter 237: The Second Prince's Mansion Banquet
Okay, let's not talk about this topic for now, it's almost the New Year, you can take Lian'er and Xuan'er out more in the past few days, buy more new clothes and come back, and the New Year should have a New Year's appearance!
Yu Linlin agreed: "Okay, I'll take them there later, I know all the famous cloth shops in the national capital!" ”
At this time, Xuan'er had come to the palace, because she had the queen's token in her hand to enter the palace, so she quickly met the queen, Xuan'er told the queen about the matter, and the queen said: "No wonder Yao'er's wife has never been pregnant, it turns out that this is the reason, it seems that Yao'er will be matched with a few women over eighteen years old!" ”
Xuan'er chuckled mentally, does the queen want to summon me back?
When the queen saw that Xuan'er's face was wrong, she knew what Xuan'er was thinking, so she said to Xuan'er: "You still go back to Yao'er as a personal maid, and finally Yao'er begged me once, so I stuffed you in, and now it's not easy to stuff someone to Yao'er!" ”
Xuan'er immediately agreed: "Then queen, I'll go back first!" ”
The queen said 'um' and said, "Go back, if there is any situation in Yao'er, you can report to me in time!" ”
After Li Yao had breakfast, he was about to go out to continue looking for talents, when the housekeeper of the Second Prince's Mansion came, and the housekeeper of the Second Prince's Mansion respectfully handed over the invitation, Li Yao said to the housekeeper of the Second Prince's Mansion: "You tell the second brother, I will come on time!" ”
Li Yao had already sent his guards back to the fiefdom to inform Song Boming to handle the peasant petition, and now even if the Jin Kingdom wanted its own people, it wouldn't work!
I met two talents again today, Li Yao felt that they were okay, and they both sent out invitations for them to go to their fiefdoms to be officials, but one of them thought that the road was far away and he was reluctant to leave Yidu, so he politely declined Li Yao's invitation, Li Yao was not angry, after all, in ancient times, going to other countries to be an official was already considered to be uprooted, so Li Yao didn't mind if he didn't want to go!
In the evening, Li Yao went straight to the second prince's mansion, the second prince is much more than the eldest prince, when Li Yao's carriage came to the second prince's mansion, the second prince and the housekeeper were waiting outside the door, Li Yao looked at the second prince's outfit, it is estimated that they waited for at least half an hour, and there was a trace of white on the coat, thinking that it was caused by the cold weather!
Seeing that the second brother was actually waiting for him in such cold weather, Li Yao was really a little moved, so Li Yao jumped out of the carriage, came to the second brother's side, and said, "Second brother, why are you bothering, you can wait for me in the house!" ”
The second prince smiled: "What is this cold, it turns out that when I was in the barracks, I was still training soldiers in winter, and I was wearing iron armor at that time, so it was called cold!" ”
Li Yao admired: "Second brother, I usually admire a man like you!" ”
The second prince smiled: "Third brother, let's go in and have a drink to warm up!" ”
Li Yao nodded and said, "Okay, I want to have a drink with my second brother today!" ”
After the two of them drank a few glasses of wine, their bodies warmed up, and the second prince asked, "Third brother, I heard that you went to the eldest brother's house to drink yesterday!" ”
Li Yao also knew that he couldn't hide the fact that he went to the eldest prince's house for a banquet, so he said: "Well, I received an invitation from my eldest brother yesterday morning, and after receiving the invitation, I went out to play, and I played until the evening, and then I went directly to my eldest brother's house, and when I got home in the evening, I heard that the second brother also gave me an invitation, this is my second brother, I will punish myself!" ”
Li Yao drank another glass of wine, and the second prince smiled and said, "Third brother, what are you talking about, it's my housekeeper who can't do anything, and I can't complain about you!" ”
The second prince's mansion is relatively tough, which may also be the reason why the second prince has been guarding the border for several years, and the second prince's banquet is also relatively simple, all of which are large pieces of meat, as well as flatbread, although the dishes of the eldest prince's house are not exquisite, but they are very real!
The second prince picked up a roast leg of lamb and handed it to Li Yao, and said, "Third brother, when you come to my house, don't be polite to your second brother, they are all your own brothers, just let go and eat!" ”
Li Yao looked at this roast leg of mutton of more than ten catties, and said secretly: "If I eat this leg of mutton, I won't have to eat for the next three days, and I'll die!" ”
But Li Yao couldn't refuse, so he picked up the knife inserted in the leg of mutton, cut off a few pieces of roasted meat and put them on the plate.
The second prince's cook is estimated to often barbecue in the wild, and Li Yao ate a piece of roast lamb leg, which tastes so good! Li Yao asked, "Second brother, what did you roast this meat from?" It tastes good! ”
The second prince said with a smile: "When your second brother was at the border, he often went hunting with his subordinates, and he didn't bring back the prey when he caught it, he directly found a place with a water source, skinned it and made a fire, and roasted it with his subordinates!" After many barbecue experiences, the meat grilled with poplar trees is the most fragrant! ”
Li Yao asked, "Second brother, is your meat roasted from poplar trees?" ”
The second prince nodded and said, "I used to eat the meat roasted by poplar trees, but now I can't get used to eating other barbecues, so when I returned to the capital this time, I also asked the caravan to pull back a lot of poplar tree heads for barbecue!" ”
Li Yao gave a thumbs up and said, "Second brother, you really enjoy life, by the way, second brother, have you ever eaten red willow barbecue?" ”
The second prince asked, "Is it roasted with large pieces of mutton skewered with red willow branches?" ”
Li Yao nodded and said, "That's right!" ”
The second prince smiled: "Third brother, I must have eaten this, don't worry, my kitchen is roasting, eat red willow barbecue while it is hot!" ”
After a while, a large plate of red willow barbecue was brought out, and looking at the pieces of meat about the size of an egg on the red willow branches, Li Yao's saliva remained!
Li Yao picked up a skewer, bit off a piece of meat, and praised: "Second brother, your barbecue is really unusual!" ”
The second prince also picked up a string of red willow barbecue, ate a piece, and said with a smile: "Third brother, don't think how good these cooks of mine are, these are all Huotou Army, but it turned out that I followed me to eat all the game in the south of the Yangtze River, so now the barbecue skills are better!" ”
Li Yao swallowed the large piece of meat in his mouth, picked up the wine glass, and said to the second brother: "Second brother, eating meat in a big piece, drinking in a big bowl is the coolest thing in the world!" Come on, second brother, do one! ”
The second brother also raised his wine glass and said, "Come, do it!" ”
The wine glass in the second prince's house is not an ordinary wine glass, but a wine bowl similar to a bowl, Li Yao drank the wine in the bowl and shouted: "Cool! Eating with the second brother is cool! ”
The second prince saw that Li Yao was so happy, so he said, "Third brother, your second brother called you over this time to ask for your help!" ”
Li Yao also knew that the second brother would not ask himself to drink in vain, so he asked: "Second brother, what are you doing, you just say that the third brother will help if he can!" ”
The second prince patted the table and said, "Third brother, it's refreshing, just say this to you, let's do one first!" (To be continued.) )
