After the afternoon, the hundred and tenth people climbed out of the pit to eat, Zheng Lao took out a cage from his carriage, opened it and saw that it was two meats, two vegetables and four exquisite side dishes.

A stack of braised pork ribs, a stack of stewed carp, stir-fried greens and stewed tofu, and two snow-white fluffy white flour steamed buns.

The tofu recipe offered by Liu An, the king of Huainan, is quietly popular in Chang'an, and is currently limited to the nobles of Changle Palace and Weiyang Palace, as well as the children of the two great nobles in Chang'an City.

In these days, it is not uncommon to have gold and silver at home, and it is not uncommon to sit on a few acres of fertile land, only strange and unseen good things are valuable, such as the stone honey of Magadha that is worth gold, and the smooth tofu in the mouth, which is a representative of privilege.

It is said that the old princes of Chang'an City like this smooth and tender tofu very much, and the old Zheng Lao, who is not old, also likes to make a stack of tofu when he has nothing to do, quietly showing the intimate relationship between his family and the Hou Mansion.

Inadvertently revealing high-grade, low-key luxury.

Boom!

The two old men opposite Zheng Lao had their beards curled, and the two recognized the expensive tofu in the Chang'an market at a glance.

Are the people of Nanzhuang so rich?

The two old men chuckled in their hearts.

At the beginning, several Zhuangzi, including Nanzhuang, became the private land of the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, and the villagers in the countryside a little farther away had secretly laughed.

Not to mention that the little Li Zheng offended Zhang Wuhou Dou Wan, even if he changed to an ordinary Guanneihou, he would have to be soft when he met the Dou family, and the people in Nanzhuang were so bold that they accepted the instigation of the Pingyang Hou Mansion to pull Zhang Wuhou off the horse. Offending Zhang Wuhou Dou Wan was like asking for his own death, and he thought in his heart that Nanzhuang would be unlucky, and the destruction of the family could be expected.

I didn't expect the times to change. More than a year has passed in the blink of an eye, Nanzhuang has lived a very stable life, men, women and children have not lost a cold hair, but Zhang Wuhou Dou has been completely dead and alive, his face has been beaten into a huge pig's head, hiding in the Hou Mansion for more than a month before he turned back to his original state, and the villagers who did not know suddenly understood the power of Pingyang Hou.

At the beginning, they all looked down on the Marquis of Pingyang, who was not tied to Mao. said that he was just a little hairy child who was lucky enough to be favored by the emperor, how could he fight the Dou family with big roots and deep roots. But the people just didn't say a word and put the arrogant Dou family down.

If you don't want to be convinced, you can't do it.

"Envious?"

The two old men nodded silently.

Zheng Lao touched his beard and was very proud: "I know your thoughts, because of the trouble last year, the relationship between our old brothers is also a lot more estranged, but time has passed, who dares to say that we chose the wrong one?" ”

The two old men shook their heads in shame. Now to say that Nanzhuang chose the wrong direction is to slap themselves in the face, they can't wait to go back to more than a year of money, and replace the proud old man of the Zheng family in front of them, and sell their own Zhuangzi to Pingyang Houfu as a tenant farmer.

"The prince and marquis of my family are the marquis of ten thousand households, ranked among the nine kings of the nine kings, and have made great contributions to the two generations of the Son of Heaven in governing the country and taking care of the people, and the Dou family who is not diligent and industrious is not qualified to compare with the princes and marquis of my family. The noble Empress Dowager of the Dou family is not young, maybe one day she will leave earlier than us, and by then the Dou family has lost the backstage and is not qualified to compare with the prince of my family. You say don't you? ”

The two old men nodded busily.

The fool also knows that the future of Pingyang Hou Cao is limitless, and he has no less power to speak in the court than the three princes at a young age, and if he dares to underestimate his ability, he will have to suffer a big loss, and the Dou family has suffered two big losses.

How popular is Cao Shi? Everyone's answer is different.

But the consensus of the world is that being a prime minister is the minimum requirement, and specifically being a prime minister for a few years is a topic that people care about, and in private the villagers and even the county officials like to discuss the topic. They hoped that Cao Shi would be prime minister for sixty years, preferably as long as Zhang Cang, the Marquis of Beiping. Let the Han family be peaceful for a hundred years.

Zheng Lao suddenly smiled mysteriously: "Let me give you a thorough explanation, follow the old brother, I will recognize the brand of Pingyang Hou, in the future, we will eat a large bowl of meat and drink without worry, do you understand what I mean?" ”

"What do you mean?" The two old men were surprised.

"Huh! Don't think about it! I mean, we're going to have to do some work in the future, and we don't have to discuss it in advance so as not to fight for a place, don't you say? ”

"Yes, yes, this requires a lot of cooperation."

The two old men nodded busily like chickens pecking rice, and now everyone in Guanzhong 75 counties knows the prestige of Shaofu Caoshi, and the foreman who didn't get the quota a few days ago walked around the racecourse non-stop, looking at the happy appearance of the people who got the quota and was about to crush his teeth, and the fool would refuse.

Zheng Lao is very satisfied, these days to the nearby ten miles and eight towns to greet hundreds of Zhuangzi, as long as the Hou Mansion needs to move the customs in the conscription, as long as the money and food are in place, you can call more than 100,000 people at any time, saving the three princes and nine Qing chirps and causes trouble.

The three old men ate, drank, and gossiped.

"Pingyang Hou really has nothing to say to us, we have all the things in Jingshi, I went to other villages to try that flushing toilet, old man, I don't have to walk so far to go to the toilet in the middle of the night."

"I also tried a public bath in the Zhuangzi next door, there is a secret room on the second floor of the small building, leaving only a small mouth for filling water, and the hot water in the cauldron is poured into it to cooperate with a pool of cold water, and it is very comfortable to take a warm bath in winter, and the eldest girl and little daughter-in-law no longer have to worry about the trouble of bathing in the cold winter."

Zheng Lao smiled and said, "Our prince has a lot of ability, and you can see better things." ”

"Good stuff?" The two old men perked up and said, "Recently, I heard that every Zhuangzi's field has to install several beehives, and that thing is really useful?" ”

"It works, what are you doing with it?" Zheng Lao glared and said.

The structure of the beehive is not complicated, mainly for the bees to find a nest that can be controlled, choose a place to the leeward and sunny, the foot of the South Mountain is the best location, the fields of each village are slightly inferior, and the bees should leave enough spare honey to eat in winter, otherwise they will die in the next year.

"Don't lie to our brother. What can those wooden chests be used for? ”

Seeing that the two old men didn't believe it, Zheng Lao blew his beard anxiously and glared: "Don't be unconvinced, you two are still unconvinced, that thing is used to feed bees to produce honey." The beehives on our village were put down last year, and each beehive can take out two or three catties of honey, and then the spring bee colony went to collect honey again, and the prince felt that this idea was suitable for promotion, so he installed it for your villages, if you are not happy, take it off, and don't cry when you produce honey! ”

"Don't! Don't be angry. The two of us are just nonsense. One of the old men pulled his brother and said with a smile.

Zheng Lao huffed and said, "I'll go first, and I have to go to Xiaodongzhuang in the afternoon." Tomorrow, I'll come over and take a look at your biogas pond, and keep a careful eye on those bastards, don't make a business trip, the rotten poisonous water in the biogas pond pollutes the land, and the poisonous gas released is flammable and explosive, and can suffocate and kill. If you are not careful, your Zhuangzi will be finished. ”

The two old men nodded in horror, and the little caution in their hearts vanished.

Changle Palace, Changqiu Palace.

The residence of the Queen Mother.

Mrs. Chen, the wife of Wuyang Hou Fan Itguang, and Mrs. Xu, the wife of the Marquis of Qinghe, gathered together.

"The Queen Mother is really convincing, she gave birth to a smart and good daughter, our group of women and Taoists have beautiful clothes, perfumes, silk handkerchiefs, and stockings. There are also silk shoes, which are rare items produced by Pingyang Garment Factory, and they are now walking in Chang'an City to contact feelings. If you don't wear a few garment factory clothes, you're embarrassed to say hello. ”

"The clothes in the garment workshop are novel and atmospheric, the silk fabrics are varied, and the quality is exquisite, even the old and old-fashioned people in my family are praising the things in the garment workshop!"

The Queen Mother was beaming with pride: "Wan'er, this girl has liked female red needlework since she was a child, even I didn't expect her to make a big move, everyone likes too fiddling needlework." ”

"Huh! The Queen Mother is modest, how can Princess Yangxin be called a female red needle. I went to the garment factory to see the production process, from the selection of materials, rinsing, and weaving to the line of dozens of processes. I heard that this is called the division of labor and cooperation assembly line, I learned the system of making crossbows, arrows and bows in the Great Qin Dynasty, a piece of clothing has been repeatedly processed by hundreds of people, and the quality is far more complex than a needle and a thread in my daughter's family. ”

The Queen Mother Wang Wan was modest with a smile on the corner of her mouth, her eldest daughter Liu Wan was promising, and her face as a mother was also glorious.

Thinking that he has jumped from a commoner woman to the wife of the Son of Heaven for decades, he has experienced countless conspiracies and tricks, hardships and obstacles, and has worked hard for decades so that his children can be masters, and now that the goal has been achieved, she has no extra thoughts, it is enough to enjoy life.

To a woman at the level of Wang Wan, what she has to do every day is nothing more than personal enjoyment, and the new clothes and new perfumes made by Liu Wan just cater to the general trend of aristocratic women enjoying life.

Inside and outside the city of Chang'an, the capital is proud to wear the clothes of the garment workshop, from the cheapest flower cloth clothes of only 5o yuan, to the luxury clothes embroidered with gold thread for 5o yuan.

Princess Tao looked displeased, originally she just came out of Changle Palace to talk to the Queen Mother, but she never thought that as soon as she entered the door, she saw dozens of old women surrounding the Queen Mother to flatter her, and she was also praising her annoying niece Yangxin Princess Liu Wan, so that she couldn't leave if she wanted to, and she was unwilling to stay.

If two or three years ago, she and Liu Wan had no conflict of interest, and would probably be happy to talk to these liehous' ladies for a while, after all, these women claim to be the main force of the meritorious liehous, and it is already very cool to let them talk and chat with themselves helplessly, maybe they can make these women angry half to death, and they will also have a bad breath that has been accumulated for decades.

"Why is it her again!"

The chief princess of the pavilion Tao glanced at the fancy dresses of the ladies of the Liehou, don't turn her face and secretly scold the old shameless stinky woman, and the bells and whistles of the dress may go outside to hook up with men and raise men.

Liu Concubine is also a broken jar, and she doesn't care how bad her own discipline is, like a crow falling on a pig, she only sees others black, but she can't see her own black.

Princess Xu is Pavilion Tao's face changed more obviously, and several ladies aimed their eyes at her with a look.

"Yo! The princess of the pavilion is also there! Tsk, look at your dress, the style of 30 years ago is also worn on the street, is this nostalgic for the good old days? ”

"This can't be blamed on others, back then, our eldest princess Her Royal Highness was also a flower of the Liu family's royal family, looking at the gate of the Marquis of Jiang's family and anxious to marry, but she married the Marquis of Tangyi by mistake. It's really a trick! ”

"I don't think it's very good, the marquis of Tangyi is a little less, and the closure is also a little less. But the family is also a liehou, it's better than marrying the Hou of Guannei, and it is also good to say that the position is small, and the honest duty does not dare to cause trouble, the old Zhou family of the Marquis of Jiangyi has fallen, and the old Chen family of the Hou of Tangyi is still doing well, but it is too timid and too cowardly. ”

"You mothers-in-law are so unreasonable. Didn't you see that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess had a bad face? It is a bad habit to close your eyes and talk nonsense, and to talk about the rights and wrongs of others. No matter how good or bad people are doing, they always live their lives, what's wrong with being timid and honest, at least they won't kill people when they see things they shouldn't see, there is not a new proverb in Chang'an City. If you want to live your life, you have to have a little green on your head. ”

The princess of the Pavilion Tao trembled angrily, she had long known that none of these Liehou ladies were fuel-efficient lamps, but when the sudden attack hit her face hard, the hot pain still made her unbearable.

The ladies were not afraid at all, half-truths and half-truths laughed and scolded, sneered and scolded, and persuaded them, and lifted up and down the little up and down the Tangyi Marquis' Mansion.

But with a warm smile on his face, he seemed to be doing something unimportant to his parents.

"Yo! Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, what's the matter? The face is blue for a while, and white for a while. It can't be that you're seriously ill and unwell, right? ”

"Oops. That's not possible, we have to ask a doctor to treat Her Royal Highness the eldest princess. If there is a problem, it will be very bad, and the mess of the old Chen family of the Marquis of Tangyi will really not be able to play without Her Royal Highness the eldest princess. ”

"Don't say it, I heard that the Hou family of Tangyi lent 500 million yuan, and the Hou family lent 100 million yuan, so much money is rolling outside and it is all under the command of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess. In case there is a three-game two short accounts, it is not good to ask. ”

"That's a lot of money! I can understand the Hou family in Tangyi, and it is also very good for the Hou family to get so much money to invest and lend. I think it must have been the Empress Dowager who rewarded 1o billion dollars of gold and silver treasures, which is really a great deal! ”

The eyes of the princess of the pavilion were dark, and her hands clenched her sleeves and panted.

She understands that today is a big heel.

It was the most unwise move to go up to the Lady of Liehou at this juncture, and once she made the first move, she would immediately fall into passivity.

The Queen Mother Wang Wan, who usually looks weak and incompetent, may not give him much help, and maybe she will not hesitate to stand on the opposite side of her, after all, she can pull down her face to bully other people's daughters, so she can't expect people to give her much face, even the Queen Mother of Changxin Palace can't give her much support.

What does a Soaring woman look like? It is the current state of the princess of the pavilion.

"You deceive people too much!"

The Lady Liehou was slightly stunned, and then laughed and said, "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, what is this?" We elderly mothers-in-law speak with broken mouths, in case that sentence accidentally goes against your ears, we can't change it, stand up and shout which one is this singing? ”

Singing!

I even ridiculed me for singing as a haiyu!

Haiyou is one of the most lowly professions in ancient times, "Guanzi" called "Advocacy", "Xunzi", "Han Feizi" is called Haiyou, with the tambourine chanting ancient and modern anecdotes as the name, in the pre-Qin and Qin and Han dynasties, Haiyou and prostitutes, merchants, and lazy people who live in the same status, they do not produce and do not pay land taxes, the pre-Qin era belongs to the slave class, to the Qin and Han dynasties are also Luzuo pariahs.

The taunt of neither yin nor yang, the princess of the pavilion chief Tao had a black face and her lungs were about to explode.

"Suddenly feel unwell, let's talk! I'll go back first. The princess stood up angrily, threw down a sentence and turned her face away.

Poof!

A lady of the Marquis couldn't help laughing, and the laughter was contagious to everyone, and dozens of noble ladies laughed.

Concubine Liu was so scared that she turned around and ran away!

The Lehus taunted even more unscrupulously.

"Some yellow flower daughters marry and raise sons when they enter the door, some people get married and do nonsense outside, and some people are corrupt and shameless."

"And what! sneered at her niece as an aunt, no wonder this family is all strange things, it turns out that the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, and the end is ridiculous. ”

"When you are an elder, you don't look like an elder, and it's embarrassing to bully a junior, if I did such a shameful thing, I would have been killed on the stone pillar at the door, so as not to lose face and be shameless."

Liu Yan's face was red and her throat was sweet, she was so angry that she almost spurted out a mouthful of blood, and walked out step by step, she didn't want to see the hateful faces of these women.

From beginning to end, he watched his mother-in-law Liu leave with a cold eye, but Wang Wan did not say a word.

She hated Liu very much in her heart.

Imagine a woman's family, married once and gave birth to a daughter, and was forced by her mother to enter the palace as a palace maid, and finally survived for a few years to climb the emperor's dragon couch, and gave birth to her only son Liu Che at the age of twenty-six.

That is the emperor's bloody descendant, and it is the hope of Wang Huan's life, and she needs to protect the important things with her life.

finally raised her son to the age of four, and she was crowned the king of Jiaodong, and she herself was named Mrs.

Liu Concubine suddenly came to the door and opened two options for her.

Accept a daughter-in-law who is ten years older than her son, and her son will be crowned prince, or refuse this family affair on the spot, and the prince's throne will be next to his house.

Wang Wan had no way to refuse the huge temptation of the throne, and willingly chose a correct path, she successfully got the one she wanted, her son was the prince, her daughter was the concubine, and she was the queen mother.

But with the passage of time, gradually the family of Princess Tao Chang is not simple, Chang'an and outside belong to the Tangyi Hou Mansion with the most rumors, Chen Wu can not be humane, Liu Concubine is raising noodles outside, Chen Ji steals his father's maid, Chen Ji must not show the mountain and water to fan the flames, Chen Ajiao's reputation is not very good, this family has a bad reputation, just like the annoying princess of Jiangyi, who provoked the Beijing teacher Chang'an to be full of wind and rain.

If she encounters such an in-laws, eighty percent of them will have to get married with a letter of divorce, and everyone in the world can do this, but she Wang Wan just can't and dare not do it, and the queen mother can eat her alive.

Originally, she also wanted to endure the past, but her daughter-in-law Chen Ajiao was very difficult, and she made some disturbances in the palace every once in a while, her mother-in-law not only couldn't suppress the arrogant daughter-in-law, but was subject to the suppression of Liu Concubine everywhere, and she couldn't say her bitterness.

"It's better to teach her a lesson and gain more knowledge, so as not to be arrogant and ruin the reputation of the queen mother."

The Queen Mother Wang Wan smiled at the corner of her mouth, and her face became more gentle and kind. (To be continued)

ps: The wicked have their own wicked grinding, and it is not Cao Shi and Liu Wan who are young people who deal with Liu Yan, but the group of pungent old women, Liu Wan is just a little woman, and her Taoism is much worse than that of the old women.
