Chapter 246: The Queen Mother gnaws on pig's trotters
Wang Wan enjoyed the filial piety of her son-in-law with peace of mind, choked up and coughed a few times from time to time, and the tears were wiped more and more as if she didn't want money, so as to aggravate Li Han's guilt.
Sure enough, Li Han, who had no resistance to women, especially the tears of his relatives, was completely cried by Wang Huan.
Li Han rubbed his nose and hair in annoyance, and kept helping Wang Wan wipe his tears in fear, and said incoherently: "Uh, mother, don't cry, the child already knows that it is wrong, can I change it?" Can't I change it? ”
"You don't have to change it, you still take your family to go sightseeing, it's none of your business if the state affairs are rotten, and you don't have to worry about your mother crying to death...... Woowoo woo ......"
"Alas! Okay, okay, can I take care of it? Can't I care about it? Jingzhou disaster relief does not need the imperial court to allocate money and grain, only need to let the local state government directly allocate the taxes that should be paid to the state treasury this year to the disaster victims, and the state government and the prime minister's office will approve the amount to offset it. ”
Although Wang Wan still made a crying voice, her eyes were as sharp as stars.
"As for the difficulty of digging the waterway, I will immediately meet Uncle Liu's envoy and see how the situation is resolved."
"That'...... Hey, what about the Hundred Cavalry Division and the Arsenal? Aren't you going to close the arsenal? As soon as you see that the rooster's pouch is hopefully expanding, you have to close, you close! Boom ......"
"No, no, the child swears no!" Li Han hurriedly assured: "Not only is the arsenal closed, but the children will continue to develop new weapons, and strive to complete the rooster as soon as possible." ”
"Hmph, the promise at the moment sounds good, maybe you will change your hexagram because your mother is gone."
Li Han had a bitter face, so anxious that he was about to cry again, and repeatedly promised that he would not change the hexagram, so Wang Wan could be regarded as stopping crying.
"Didn't you change that Baiqi Division to the Eight Divisions? Qi Yueshan has also become your father. Your father asked me to ask you how to properly arrange the position of commander, and do you need to add some masters to the palace? ”
"Of course the master wants it!" Li Han's eyes lit up and said, "Is it like the one who picked me up and walked that day?" The more the merrier! ”
Wang Wan glanced at him and said, "Phew! Who do you think you are? There are no more than a hundred of that kind of chamberlain, and it's not enough to guard the court in different shifts, and the more you have, the better. I'll tell your father that I'll give you ten or eight at most, and I don't necessarily agree.
However, the inner palace guards can give you dozens, and if you don't have enough, you can recruit them yourself. ”
"The inner palace guards are also good, the four that I gave to the children last time were very useful. Is it okay to simply give a hundred? Li Jing, Zhang Yun, Huang Zan, and Wei Ting around the child are almost honed now, so let them enter the Eight Departments as small leaders, and other important positions have to be carefully selected personnel, which is rather lacking than excessive. ”
Wang Wan saw that Li Han was very attentive to the Eight Great Divisions, and she was relieved. After listening to Qi Yueshan's secret entry into the palace, Liu Qi was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night. has always praised Li Han as a genius, and this kind of perfect hundred horsemen is something that even Liu Qi can't imagine, so it is also what the royal family is most eager to complete as soon as possible.
Li Han saw Wang Huan's attention to the Eight Divisions. I feel a little proud in my heart, just kidding, this is the most suitable department for the Han Dynasty that I summarized and perfected after integrating the functions of various secret agencies in later generations. How can it not be awesome.
I beat and scolded, and I cried and cried. The goal was also achieved, Wang Wan was also tired, and finally, she stopped her tender torture of Li Han, waved her hand impatiently and said: "I'm tired from being born with you for half a day, you go to make some food and send it, so that my mother can rest here for a while." ”
Li Han finally broke free from the sea of suffering, hurriedly helped others cover the quilt, slipped out on tiptoe, stood outside the door, gasped for breath with his back to the sky, and covered his face with both hands and rubbed desperately for a while, before he could be regarded as adjusting the stiff expression of his smiling face.
As soon as he ran down the steps, he saw a large group of heads around the moon gate in the distance, all of them looked at him with schadenfreude eyes, seeing that he was furious, he grabbed a broom from the ground and was about to suppress this group of unrighteous bastards, but the effect was not good, because after this group of heads retreated in seconds, a second beast appeared at the moon gate that made him fear, Li Wan.
Obediently put down the broom, Li Han said with a dry smile: "Mother, the queen said that she was hungry, let the child cook some food for her, and the child will go to the kitchen." ”
Li Wan showed no signs of anger, she looked at her son's blue nose and swollen face, which was enough to show that the queen had just finished the violence, which made her feel distressed, usually her son made mistakes, she always screamed loudly, the board was raised high, but it was no less than tickling, otherwise Ji Lin would not have said that her mother didn't hurt anymore.
But now look at the bruises on the corners of my son's eyes, the redness and swelling on his ears, oops, there are still a few blood marks on the back of his neck, could it be that the queen mother still grabbed it with her hands?
Looking at Li Han, who was hanging her head and slipping away quickly, Li Wan was distressed, but no matter how sad she was, she didn't dare to reason with the queen, so she had to stomp her feet and turn around and go back to her room to wipe her tears.
Poor Li Han went into the kitchen and handed over the group under the command of the cook to him to prepare the materials, and originally planned to wrap a few of Wang Huan's favorite pork and celery stuffed buns, but when he looked down, he saw the big pig's trotters that were tumbling in the braised pork pot that kept burning all year round at home, and suddenly he made a bad taste again.
The cook looked at the lord in astonishment and laughed a few times, and used the big iron hook to scoop out all the pig's trotters one by one, and fished out more than a dozen of them, and ordered to burn the fire under another iron pot, he put sauce, frosting, rice vinegar, chili, pepper and other seasonings in the pot, boiled into a thick soup, put the almost cooked pig's trotters into it and continued to simmer, and kept turning when the soup was about to dry, so that the red and shiny soup was all hung on every pig's trotters, sprinkled with a handful of chopped chives, garlic sprouts, and chopped coriander, and served out.
At this time, more than a dozen pig's trotters filled a copper basin, the bones and crispy meat were fragrant, and the other was the ready-made millet porridge and pot helmet buns in the kitchen, so they were ready to be sent to the queen.
As soon as Li Han got into the kitchen, the kitchen manager Jin Huan came, drove the cook out and personally helped Li Han, and when she saw that this was all alive, she was frightened, and shouted: "Young master, are you going to give the queen mother food?" Don't you dare to play tricks, even if your mother beats you a few times, she is the queen and your mother-in-law, so she should be the one, how can you give such a vulgar thing to your mother? Listen to my aunt's words, so I fried a few fine hair vegetables and sent them. ”
Li Han has great respect for this bridal maid who has always accompanied the old lady, and said with a smile: "Aunt Jinhuan, this is a dish specially ordered by the queen's mother, she likes to eat this the most, you don't have to be afraid." ”
Jinhuan was suspicious, but he didn't dare to stop it, and looked at Li Han with a sad face, and with a smile on his face, he commanded his subordinates to take the copper basin and pot helmet porridge away, thinking that it was inappropriate, and hurriedly ran to Li Wan for instructions.
When passing through the courtyard, a large number of heads were still there, Li Han deliberately lit up the big copper basin at them, and the aroma wafted over, and a group of people swallowed saliva together, and watched the good thing come into the house.
Wang Wan had already gotten up, and the palace maid she brought helped her to fix her makeup, and she was reading the manuscript on Li Han's desk with great interest.
Seeing the big pot brought in, Wang Wan was stunned for a moment, walked over and said with interest: "Han'er, this thing is such a wolf pit, how can my mother eat it?" ”
Li Han said with a smile: "Queen Mother, don't pay attention to your appearance when eating, you see, this thing has to be eaten like this to be enjoyable." As he spoke, he first grabbed a pig's trotter and took a big bite, and the translucent hoof tendon was bitten into his mouth by him, and he swallowed it in a few bites.
At that time, there was no perverted custom of palace maids and eunuchs trying dishes, Wang Wan looked at the sweetness of Li Han's food, and couldn't help but grab one, and elegantly bit off a little skin and flesh with her teeth. "I began to gnaw it, at first it was still a small mouthful, and then it encountered the position of the hoof tendon that was not easy to bite, and that thing was the essence of the pig's trotters, where was I willing to let go, and soon there was no image.
Those restless people who were lured by delicious food were automatically diverted at the door, those who were not qualified to enter the house rushed to the kitchen, and those who were qualified to enter the house all rubbed into the house, Liu Xi, Liu Lian, Liu Che, and Gillian were stunned together, and they all felt that there was something wrong with their eyes! ——
The person who was holding a huge pig's trotter in both hands and gnawing on it was getting carried away could be his mother and aunt who were so noble that they were not stained with dust?
Looking at the four big mouths that couldn't be closed, Li Han, who also had no image, squeezed his eyes at them, and when he landed, in addition to Liu Lian, the other three people who had obviously eaten rushed over with a flattering smile, and didn't dare to stretch out their hands, and the six eyes stared at the pig's trotters with green light.
Wang Wan said angrily: "You can eat if you want." ”
When they landed, the three hands grabbed three pig's trotters, since the queen can gnaw, why can't they gnaw? It was wiped out in an instant.
When Wang Wan was full, she saw that the copper basin that was still full just now was only soup, and stood up with satisfaction and said: "The food is good, I will go back to the palace for my mother first, you will deal with the urgent affairs later, and take the fireworks at night, and take these babies to Changle Palace together." ”
After sending the queen away, Li Han had no strength in his whole body, and he was paralyzed in the recliner like a dead dog, and he was about to fall asleep.
However, the people who had been waiting at the door for almost a day were anxious to hang themselves, and those who hit the wall were going to hit the wall, and when they saw the queen mother coming out, they all came over to say hello, but the mother actually said that they should all go in, and Li Han was waiting for them.
At this moment, the fate of a group of people was saved by the queen, and the queen was respectfully sent away and swarmed in from behind, and Li Han's dream was estimated to be gone. (To be continued......)
