The reason why this banquet became famous was not only because Qin Shaoyou had recently risen, which made him the object of attention of the people of Luoyang, but also because all the people who accepted the invitation were powerful figures in Luoyang City.

Power and fame often go hand in hand.

With power, you can't help but want to sell your reputation, and with fame, you can't help but hug the thighs of the powerful, no matter what year it is, it's probably the same.

But......

In Princess Taiping's mansion, someone hurriedly arrived at the palace of Her Royal Highness the Princess.

His Royal Highness had not yet changed his clothes, but sat in front of the bronze mirror in a profane dress that could barely cover his body.

The eunuch fell to the ground and said uneasily: "Your Highness...... News came from Ruchun Restaurant. ”

Her Royal Highness the princess looked at the beauty in the bronze mirror, and seemed to be indifferent, opened her lips and said: "What news can there be from Ruchun Restaurant, can't it be that the banquet has been canceled?" ”

The eunuch said with a sad face: "Then Qin Shaoyou, he said that he invited so many distinguished guests, so he had to take charge of the spoon himself......"

Princess Taiping in the bronze mirror, her face stagnated, and then she suddenly rose, so that she fell to the ground, revealing a ketone body like mutton fat, her face was very ugly, at this time she turned around, she was bare in the bronze mirror, and her slightly upturned buttocks appeared in the mirror, under the faint light of the candle flame, it was very angry.

"What did you say?" Princess Taiping was as cold as frost.

Her shoulders trembled slightly, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

"Then Qin Shaoyou has to take charge of it himself."

Her Royal Highness the Princess spit out a mouthful of pandan, and her tone was a little unkind: "This guy, why is he so annoying." ”

I have to say that Princess Taiping wants to befriend Qin Shaoyou for only one reason, it is nothing more than that her reputation is not very good, and she wants to know more young Junyan and make a good name.

And Qin Shaoyou has recently relied on two poems, which has caused Luoyang paper to be expensive, and he has now become a famous figure in Luoyang. It is precisely because of this that Her Royal Highness the Princess wants to touch his fame.

So Qin Shaoyou invited, and she decided to go to the banquet without saying a word.

But now, this Qin Shaoyou is inexplicable, he actually wants to be in charge, although he is a chef, but after all, because of two poems, everyone forgot that he is a cook, and he has become a genius with a gorgeous turn. But this guy seemed to be afraid that others would forget his identity, so he actually ran to take charge.

Think about it, Her Royal Highness the princess, go to hang out with a cook, go to his banquet, eat the dishes he cooks, and then ......

It's going to be laughed out of big teeth......

Originally, it was a graceful thing to go to the banquet, but now it ...... But it became a joke.

"Your Highness, if not, let's not go."

Princess Taiping's temper was very bad, she glanced at the eunuch angrily, and said coldly: "Don't go? That Qin Shaoyou is making such a big fanfare, and now everyone is talking about this matter outside, the palace has already agreed to go to the banquet, if he doesn't go, wouldn't he be dishonest again? This Qin Shaoyou is really confused and bastard, he ...... He ......"

Princess Taiping gritted her teeth, and she was so elegant, but as a result, the wind and snow became a fire, and Princess Taiping's perception of Qin Shaoyou became very bad.

She smiled coldly and continued, "Go, why don't you go?" Let's see what's in the way of this kid's joke! ”

She turned around angrily, just naked, facing the bronze mirror, and herself in the bronze mirror was full of spring.

………………

As soon as the news of Qin Shaoyou's chef came out, it was not only a princess Taiping who was angry, but most of the invited magnates suddenly fell silent.

Oh no.

What kind of bastard is this, we are here to talk to you, but you are playing with us with firewood, rice, oil and salt?

They have a feeling of being pitted, and it is difficult to ride a tiger at the moment, and it is not to go to the banquet, and it is not to go to the banquet.

But there was a criminal department, but some people began to go out in a big way, and Qiu Guan Shilang had a hint, and many people began to secretly search for something.

Everything in the Qin family was secretly turned out, and then it came to the hands of Wang Hong, the cloud cavalry captain, to summarize.

The prison officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty have a characteristic, that is, they are particularly able to toss and fight, and they are all fighting chickens among hens.

But for Qin Shaoyou, he was very entangled.

He ran out of money.

For this banquet, the restaurant was repaired behind closed doors, which cost a lot of money, and a lot of ingredients were purchased, so that Qin Shaoyou's only little savings suddenly came to naught.

But the grade of the restaurant is still the same.

Qin Shaoyou looked at the finished work in a daze, for a long time, for a long time......

"Cousin, why don't you borrow some more money? You're now an official ......"

Qin Shaoyou shook his head and said, "The reputation stinks." ”

"What did my cousin say?"

"When I became an official, I wanted to borrow money. People don't dare to borrow money if they have money, I have an official body, if I don't pay it back, what can they do? ”

Qin Shou sighed: "Then what should I do?" ”

Qin Shaoyou thought about it, and finally said: "Go and find waste bricks, stones, firewood and grass, let's use dead horses as live horse doctors." Are all the ingredients in the kitchen ready? ”

"Ready."

"Good." Qin Shaoyou took a deep breath and said, "Very good, very good......"

………………

June 19.

It was getting late, and before the moon could dissipate the daylight, it rose impatiently from the mountainside.

This hook-like moon glows with a bleak light, rendering Luoyang City like a twilight.

A soft sedan chair has been parked outside Princess Taiping's mansion.

Originally, Her Royal Highness the princess was deeply loved by the Holy Emperor, and in order for her to live in Luoyang City, she even gave her a phoenix chariot, and she paid special attention to her diet and daily life. Princess Taiping goes out, in order to show her imperial favor, she often likes to ride the phoenix chariot to swagger.

But today, Her Royal Highness the princess behaved extremely low-key, and the low-key was a little unusual.

But the eunuchs who accompanied her knew what she was thinking.

It was a good banquet, but it turned out to be an extremely ridiculous thing, and recently public opinion in Luoyang City has reversed, although some people think that Qin Shaoyou is informal, but the vast majority of scholars are quite critical of it.

In this case, of course, it is better to keep a low profile.

Lose face!

Princess Taiping almost had a cold face, and she reluctantly got on the sedan chair.

When the sedan chair landed steadily outside the Ruchun Restaurant, she got off the sedan chair, and then saw this simple small building.

The small building is very inconspicuous, there is no song and swallow dance, there is no splendor, like a dilapidated house in Luoyang City, lackluster.

Her embroidered eyebrows couldn't help but lock, and she was hesitating whether she should go home.

Then, a crisp voice sounded: "Wan'er has seen His Highness." ”

It turned out that Shangguan Wan'er had also arrived.

Seeing Shangguan Wan'er, Princess Taiping immediately showed her intimacy, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold her hand and stop her from saluting: "Wan'er, you're late." Don't be polite, we sisters don't have to be so stubborn. ”

Shangguan Wan'er smiled, and by the faint light, she showed a smile that made Princess Taiping couldn't help but be a little jealous: "Yes, I have to be on duty today, and I have served the Holy Emperor for dinner, so I came out in a hurry." ”

"Oh? I haven't been in the palace for the past two days, how is the mother? ”

"Very good, Your Majesty is very concerned about Your Highness."

The two whispered affectionately, but the two pretty bodies seemed very separated and distant.

Women are enemies.

The princess spoke, looked at Shangguan Wan'er's dress, and saw that although she did not apply powder, she had a kind of dust-free beauty, and she couldn't help but feel a little unhappy in her heart, thinking that she should wear the long skirt given by her mother, and put the mandarin duck lotus pattern gilt honeysuckle hairpin on her body.

And when Shangguan Wan'er saw her grace, she couldn't help but feel a little comparative.

The two talked and laughed, and the greetings were endless.

The owner knew that the guests had arrived, and thought that they would enter the building the next moment. Who knows, left and right, etc., will not come.

Qin Shaoyou sighed in his heart: "Women are really troublesome, and the matter of sesame mung beans is enough for them to talk about for a long time." He had to cheer up, Shi Shiran walked out of the restaurant, and saluted Princess Taiping and Shangguan Wan'er: "Xiaguan Qin Shaoyou, I don't know that His Royal Highness and Shangguan have arrived, and I hope to forgive my sins." ”

Princess Taiping saw Qin Shaoyou, and saw that he was young and very handsome, especially under this lamplight, his deep eyes were shining like jewels, she had a good impression, but when she thought that this guy was going to be in charge, she immediately lowered her face, so she ignored Qin Shaoyou, but said to Shangguan Wan'er: "There is really no fun place in Luoyang City, the only good thing is that the weather is milder." ”

Wan'er glanced at Qin Shaoyou, who was deflated, and said to Princess Taiping with a smile: "What His Highness said is true." ”
