Chapter 5: The Three Meals of the King of the County (II)
Zhao Yan took his breakfast angrily, walked through the corridor to Cao Ying's room, and threw it in front of Cao Ying, who was eating, and said angrily: "Cao Ying, I know that Niangniang asked you to supervise me to recuperate, and I also know that you hate me, but you can't declare your personal vendetta and give me these pig food every day!" ”
"His Royal Highness the King of the County said cautiously, isn't the thing you don't like to eat is pig food?" What Zhao Yan didn't expect was that when Cao Ying heard his words, she also stood up angrily and said loudly, without even wiping her mouth, Zhao Yan could see that there was still a grain of millet hanging from the corner of her mouth.
"I ......" Zhao Yan was originally angry, but when he saw the meal in front of Cao Ying, he immediately felt a little short of words, because the other party's food was exactly the same as his, the only difference was that Cao Ying's meal was almost finished, but his own did not move at all.
"I ...... I'm also the county king of the Great Song Dynasty, and I'm a sick person, how can I eat these things every day? "The so-called unreasonable stirring up three points, Zhao Yan is like this now, anyway, he can't eat these green vegetables and tofu anyway.
"What's wrong with these things? I have always been diligent and thrifty in governing the country, and the royal family is an example in the world, even if it is an official family and a mother, the daily diet is very simple, not to mention that His Royal Highness the King of the County is not in good health, and it is absolutely not suitable to eat meat, so I can only eat these light diets, and there is nothing bad about these meals, I also eat these every day, if it is placed in ordinary people's homes, I am afraid that I can't eat it if I want to! Cao Ying was also very angry, originally marrying someone like Zhao Yan was enough to make her wronged, and now she has to supervise Zhao Yan to recuperate, but she didn't expect the other party to pick and choose, which in her opinion is nothing to do.
"Okay, I don't object to some light meals, but I'm a county king, and I can get a lot of money every month, can you take out a little money from my money and improve my food, every day I eat green vegetables and tofu, I'm about to become a monk!" Zhao Yan stood on his own position, and did not feel that he had anything wrong, and he also knew that the Song Dynasty's Yulu was notoriously generous, taking him, the county king, as an example, he could receive three hundred yuan of money per month, in addition to a large amount of cloth, grain, etc., which were worth hundreds of yuan together, and these Yulu alone were enough for the expenses of the entire palace.
"Smack!" As soon as Zhao Yan's words fell, he saw Cao Ying on the other side take out a stack of sheets from a small box next to him and slam it on the table, and said with anger on his beautiful little face, "His Royal Highness the King of the County is really a noble person who forgets things, you better take a look at these first!" ”
Zhao Yan was also taken aback by Cao Ying's inexplicable anger, although in his opinion, the other party was just a girl who was not a few years older than his previous students, but ancient women seemed to be very precocious, at least Zhao Yan always unconsciously treated her as an adult when facing Cao Ying, although the other party was only fifteen or sixteen years old.
"On the third day of the sixth month of the sixth year of Jiayou, Zhao Yan owed a thousand rounds of highlights, and he was specially established; On August 16 of the sixth year of Jiayou, Zhao Yan owed Cao Song 1,300 yuan, and the material was established; On February 23 of the seventh year of Jiayou, Zhao Yan owed Hu Yanping 2,100 guan ......"
Zhao Yan looked at them one by one, but the more he looked at them, the more frightened he became, and the cold sweat on his forehead also fell, this stack of lists were all Zhao Yan's IOUs, adding up to more than 20 pieces, and each one was not less than 1,000 yuan, and the most even reached 5,000 yuan, it can be said that this stack of IOUs added up to 50,000 or 60,000 yuan, God knows how the young Zhao Yan owed so many debts outside?
"His Royal Highness the King of the County has read it, these are only part of the debts you owe outside, I have asked people to send the money over to get back the IOU, and the remaining 63,710 guan has not been repaid, in a few days I will let people take out part of the property of the palace, plus some of my dowry to sell, although it may still not be enough, but the remaining debts will not be too much, and then the palace will be able to pay off after a few years of frugality!" Cao Ying said with a cold face, she is completely desperate for her marriage, other women are happy to marry, but she is not only married to a prodigal, but also has to bear a huge debt, and even her own dowry has to be paid off to pay off the debt, is there a woman in this world who is more miserable than herself?
Zhao Yan heard that Cao Ying was going to sell his dowry to pay off his debts, which made him feel a little guilty, although these debts were owed by the previous Zhao Yan, but now he occupies the body of the other party, and also inherits the identity of the other party, according to the principle of equivalent exchange, he cannot only enjoy the rights and not bear obligations, these debts are one of his obligations.
"What ......, these IOUs are not written when to be repaid, and people have not come to ask for debts, I think it is better to slow down first, and after a while I will find a way to repay these debts, I can't let the entire palace suffer because of repaying debts, and the usual expenses can't be too reluctant!" Zhao Yan said with some embarrassment, no matter how Cao Ying is also his wife, he doesn't want the other party to suffer with him as soon as he passes the door. In addition, he doesn't pay too much attention to these debts, after all, he is a traverser, and he has thousands of years of knowledge more than the people of the Song Dynasty, and he doesn't believe that he will not find a way to make money!
Cao Ying obviously misunderstood Zhao Yan's meaning, with her bad impression of Zhao Yan, she thought that the other party wanted to repay the debt, which made Cao Ying's face flush with anger, and her white and tender little hand slapped the table and said angrily: "Our daughter of the Cao family will never owe anything to others, let alone owe the debt, and I will be responsible for the expenses of the palace in the future, so I won't worry about His Royal Highness the King of the County!" ”
Zhao Yan didn't expect that his kindness would be exchanged for a white meal from the other party, which made his face a little unbearable, and he didn't want to explain in anger, so he turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait, Niang Niang asked me to supervise you to recuperate, in addition to taking medicine, diet is also necessary, so please ask His Royal Highness the King of the County to finish the meal before leaving!" Before Zhao Yan could leave, Cao Ying suddenly spoke again.
"What if I don't eat it?" Zhao Yan heard that the other party was going to force him to eat, and the anger in his heart surged again, Huo Ran turned to stare at Cao Ying and asked.
"This is the county king's mansion, the county king doesn't want to eat, naturally no one dares to force it, but the concubine is entrusted by the mother, if the county king doesn't eat, then the concubine can only go to the mother!" Cao Ying also calmed down her anger at this time, and said with a cold face, she actually didn't want to care about Zhao Yan, but if Zhao Yan's body had any problems again, Cao Ying would also be responsible.
"Good! Count you ruthless! Zhao Yan heard that the other party took out his mother Empress Gao to press him, so he could only sit down hatefully and eat breakfast one bite at a time.
The last time Zhao Yan left him few memory fragments, the most profound of which was about the Queen Gao, and for some reason, the original Zhao Yan seemed to be very afraid of his mother, the last time Queen Gao came to visit him, Zhao Yan also felt that the Queen Gao didn't seem to care too much about herself, who was a son, and asked Cao Ying to supervise him after asking a few words casually, and didn't say anything about Zhao Yan if she cared about it, and then left, could it be that the royal family has no family affection, and even the relationship between mother and son is so indifferent?
Thinking of the indifferent mother, combined with the memory left by Zhao Yan, Zhao Yan was also quite jealous of the Queen Gao in his heart, there was no need to alarm the other party because of some trivial things, so after Cao Ying moved Queen Gao out, he could only eat the meal honestly, in fact, he also had his own tricks to deal with unpalatable meals, when he was in school, the food in the school cafeteria was this kind of boiled dish, and there were occasionally some small animals such as insects and flies, not to mention the taste, but as long as he closed his eyes when eating, When you imagine the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, you will see that these meals do not seem to be particularly unpalatable.
Zhao Yan stuffed breakfast into his stomach as quickly as possible, put the dishes and chopsticks on the table, looked up at Cao Ying and said, "I'm done eating, don't you want to supervise me to eat?" Good! I'm able to move around on my own now, I don't have to bring food to my bedroom every day, and every time I have to eat with you from today onwards, I'm going to see if you can eat green vegetables and tofu all the time. ”
After Zhao Yan finished speaking, he turned around and left, he was really ruthless this time, and he didn't believe it, he had eaten this kind of pig food for many years in his previous life, and if he continued to eat it now, he would think that it would be bittersweet and sweet, but Cao Ying is such a pampered eldest lady, Zhao Yan didn't believe that the other party could always accompany him to eat green vegetables and tofu, he had to let the other party take the initiative to improve the food!
It's a pity that Zhao Yan really overestimated his ability to bear it, the so-called "from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift", although Zhao Yan had suffered before, but after becoming an adult, he never treated his mouth badly, as a result, this made him already raise his appetite, and at the same time he also underestimated Cao Ying, maybe the other party naturally likes to eat vegetarian food, or his ability to bear is really stronger than him, so after eating green vegetables and tofu for half a month, Zhao Yan feels like going to the execution ground every time he goes to the restaurant, On the contrary, Cao Ying can finish her meals very elegantly every time.
At dinner that day, Zhao Yan was bored with the tofu on the plate, and drank millet porridge without a sip, and finally he couldn't help it, and coughed at the moment: "That...... Cao Ying, we are also the county king's mansion, as the owner of the county king's mansion, each person only has such a dish per meal, is it a little too unorthodox? ”
Hearing Zhao Yan's words, Cao Ying, who was eating, raised her head and glanced at him, then nodded unexpectedly and said: "As a prince, the county king only has one dish per meal, and there is indeed a ** portion, small bean sprouts, let someone add a dish to the county king tomorrow!" ”
After Cao Ying finished speaking, he continued to bow his head to eat, but Zhao Yan was a little confused, because with his understanding of Cao Ying during this time, the other party should not be such a good talker, and the other party hated himself very much, so it was absolutely impossible to agree to his conditions so happily.
Zhao Yan's doubts were soon answered the next day, and at breakfast, he was no longer a lonely plate of green vegetables and tofu in front of him, but it really became two plates, but one plate of green vegetables and one plate of tofu respectively.
