Chapter 142: A Conversation with Tian Rong

Li Shuang'er had already made preparations, so Zi'er asked Xu Chen to change his clothes and went straight to the carriage at the door.

There were two cars parked at the door, and at first I thought that the woman was going to sit separately from me, after all, I couldn't speak in a car. The relationship between the princess and the concubine, the people in the house are naturally clear, and the two have nothing to worry about on the surface, but what the people see in their eyes is that the couple has never lived together.

No one dares to talk nonsense, doing things in the royal family, most of them understand a truth, the most taboo is to talk about the master in private, and if you don't make a good scene, you will lose your head.

But Zi'er was called into Li Shuang'er's carriage, looking at Xu Chen's curiosity, Zi'er said, "There are high-quality cloth in that carriage." ”

Probably the cloth transported from Suzhou and Hangzhou, this Li Shuang'er really wants to save face, she brought a lot of gifts when she went last time, and this time she went together, and it was a whole car.

It is not surprising that the relationship between the eldest princess and Li Shuang'er is close, and Li also said that he once said that the two princesses Li Cai'er and Shuang'er, together with him, the prince, often played in the eldest princess's mansion when they were children, and often lived here.

The eldest princess's mansion lives in the nearest square to the imperial city, the carriage travels fast, but the road is very long, there is nothing to say all the way, when you arrive at the eldest princess's mansion, you come out to greet a housekeeper, and there is no scene like when you came by yourself.

Li Shuang'er instructed the housekeeper to let the subordinates in the house carry the cloth in, and then entered the mansion with the housekeeper.

The courtyard of the eldest princess's mansion is as big as the square, and the reception hall is directly opposite, at this moment, the eldest princess Li Qing and the concubine Tian Rong all walked out of the hall, and there was actually Princess Yuzhen.

Li Shuang'er was obviously a little surprised to see Princess Yuzhen, in Shuang'er and this aunt did not have much intersection, when she was a child, Princess Yuzhen always had a straight face and a cold expression, and children were most afraid of these people. Even when I grow up, my heart is more of an awe.

The three old men greeted them, and they were polite words, especially the eldest princess seriously criticized the cloth that Li Shuang'er brought, but she was still very happy in her heart, Li Shuang'er was very familiar with the cloth in the palace since she was a child, and the things she gave must be of the highest quality. Everyone went into the hall together and chatted for a while, of course, Li Shuang'er was there, and Xu Chen had nothing to do, a few women started to do homework, and Tian Yuma was also listening, smiling at Xu Chen from time to time.

Xu Chen didn't have much of a good impression when he saw this old face, but he also responded politely. Seeing that the time was not early, the banquet was ready, so everyone moved to the side hall again to eat.

These royal people are nothing more than such a habit, the banquet is a must, not only to be rich, but also to pay attention to a waste, no matter if you can eat or not, first serve dozens of dishes.

There are a few dishes that are obviously in the style of modern cuisine, and the chefs in the Eldest Princess's Mansion Restaurant have learned some skills from Xu Chen, and several large restaurants in the capital have also quickly popularized, and the practice of modern cuisine has gradually become the mainstream.

Sitting on the banquet, the well was also brought up, Xu Chen was sure in his heart that this banquet must not know that it was as simple as eating and cooking, and this Lao Tian must have something to explain.

Xu Chen sat at the banquet and didn't say anything, Princess Yuzhen sat on the table, and said to Xu Chen at this time: "Is the little nephew's house in Yangzhou?" Do you have any relatives at home? ”

Xu Chen nodded and said, "The little nephew has been alone since he was a child. ”

"In the end, he is a poor child, but he has learned a skill, and it is also a blessing for Shuang'er to have such a horse."

When Li Shuang'er heard this, she smiled slightly, but she was a little flushed.

Xu Chenke was not happy, and said in his heart that Princess Yuzhen was so uncomfortable when she spoke, but this old lady always gave people a sense of oppression, just two simple sentences, there will always be an inexplicable majesty, whether she is happy or not, and it is not easy to say anything.

For his own life experience, Xu Chen also did a special investigation, it is indeed a child in a poor mountainous area, in a small village in Yangzhou, it is said that he has a younger sister, but he was separated very early. Since Xu Chen saw that his background was indeed too simple, as for his sister's affairs, he didn't pay attention to it, so he said to Princess Yuzhen that she was alone.

At the beginning of the banquet, he put down the chopsticks, spoke, raised his glass, and repeated the movements constantly, and Princess Yuzhen was obviously very interested in this little colt while talking, and kept asking Xu Chen questions, from winemaking to cooking, to poetry, Xu Chen also had to answer questions.

It was very boring, and the old thief Tian Rong was also talking without a match, but Princess Yuzhen was very energetic, and she was curious that she had said so much, and this concubine didn't even mention the official position of the squire of the military department.

If an ordinary person had recommended such a big official, he would have knelt on the ground and bowed three times, but now this colt doesn't even have a polite word.

"What does the little nephew think of the official position of the squire of the military department?" Princess Yuzhen is an old woman after all, and she couldn't help but ask, just to remind him.

"What this official did, he can't do." Xu Chen said.

As soon as Princess Yuzhen heard this, she felt a little unbearable on her face, she worked hard to fight for an official position for you, but in exchange for such a dispensable sentence, no one could stand it.

Li Shuang'er doesn't have much opinion on Xu Chen's official matter, there is no doubt that his current reputation as a colt is too powerful, and his father is very fortunate to him, and it is normal to do such an official position, but it is obviously inappropriate for Xu Chen to say this now.

Just wanted to play a round, but saw Tian Juma open his mouth and say, "Ao? What do you mean by that? ”

Xu Chen glanced at Lao Tian, and said in his heart You are a bad old man who asked knowingly, and then said with a smile: "This official can't be because the little nephew has no qualifications, and it is very inappropriate to suddenly let me be such a big official." And since this official is recommended by my aunt, it shows that my aunt attaches great importance to my little nephew, and Your Majesty has approved this official, and my little nephew will definitely do it, and he will do it well, and he will not live up to his aunt's expectations for his little nephew. ”

When this sentence came out, Princess Yuzhen's smile grew, and she said in her heart that you kid was still panting when he said something, but he was still listening.

As soon as Tian Rong heard it, he knew that Xu Chen, this kid, was playing tricks, and called him over today, of course, it was not as simple as just eating, there was indeed something to say to this little horse, as for whether the little horse could listen to it or not, it was difficult to say.

Xu Chen also saw that his being an official had little to do with the old princess Yuzhen, and he must have been entrusted by Tian Rong.

The banquet was full of small talk, and the eldest princess asked about the recent business of Xu Chen Bank and the equipment for making wine, and answered truthfully.

Chatting and chatting, it was already dark, and the banquet was almost eating, Tian Rong and the horse glanced at Princess Li Qing, and Li Qing nodded.

Princess Li Qing took Princess Yuzhen and Li Shuang'er out of the palace on the pretext of watching the Seran flowers that came from the Western Regions.

Only Xu Chen and Tian were left in the field.
