Chapter 018: Spring

"This is the dim sum master in the palace of Zhengjun County for the old lady to make, I know that the old lady likes to eat sweet, today is sent pine goose oil crisp rolls, jujube paste rolls and two steamed food, osmanthus sugar steamed chestnut cake and lotus root osmanthus sugar cake, sweet and greasy, the old lady eats the best at this time."

In the east room of Sanhui Hall, there were two food boxes with gold painted and lacquered inlays open on the small table near the window, Lin Yiqiu stood under the old lady Wei and introduced the food in the box, and after speaking, he turned his head and glanced at the young man on the rosewood carved pink lacquer circle back chair on the east side.

The man was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a white jade face and delicate facial features, and only wore a moon-white robe.

This person's two long legs were dangling in front of the chair dishonestly, and his back was comfortably nestled on the back of the chair, looking relaxed and comfortable—this kind of demeanor could never be allowed by the elders in the Weilin family.

When he saw Lin Yiqiu's eyes, he responded with a warm smile on his face, and the old lady Chaowei smiled sweetly, "Grandmother is old, so she may not like to eat the craftsmanship of the imperial pastry master." Today, I went to Fan Bailou in Kyoto to ask the chef to make steamed cheese and osmanthus, with their secret recipe of peach blossom dew, soft and glutinous, Kyoto spring is dry, just to moisten my grandmother's lungs and clear her throat. ”

Lin Yiqiu was about to reply not to blindly climb to recognize his grandmother, but Mrs. Wei beckoned to Zu Yong first, and when he approached, she took his hand and looked at him a few times, her eyes were full of joy.

Zu Yong is also crazy personally, seeing that the old man likes to be even sweeter, he leans his head on the old lady's knee and refuses to get up, and occasionally throws a provocative and show-off look at Yiqiu, which makes Yiqiu angry.

"Brother Yong'er has a heart, I think your father loves to eat these when he is old now, so he brought them to my wife."

Mrs. Wei has been a little slurred since she saw the body of her only son and eldest grandson pass out that day, and occasionally cry silently, and more time seems to forget her sadness, and her mouth is also trivial, and she has a hobby of eating sweet and glutinous food.

After the doctor checked the pulse, he sighed quietly, the old lady is old, and it is normal for her to be forgetful and talk a lot. Looking at the current situation in the central government, it is not necessarily a bad thing for the old lady to be like this.

"Grandmother, you don't know, Ancestor Shangshu is afraid that he has not been treated so well, where have you enjoyed the food he bought."

Yiqiu covered her mouth and chuckled, since she entered Beijing and met Zu Yong by chance, this guy has been pestering her for three days.

Zu Yong was originally the old son of Zu Facheng, the old man of the former household department. The ancestral family is the style of the humble son of the hand-me-down, has always loved the main room and does not accept the partial room, the law fell in love with the tiger girl in adulthood, and it was easy to make sense that the parents would marry the favorite beauty, but the old wife preferred to give birth to a daughter, three daughters in one go, although each beautiful and filial piety to find a good son-in-law, the old couple asked for a son but the heart was more hot and pious, until the old lady Zu was over forty years old to get such a baby son, the whole family was spoiled lawlessly.

It is said that when Zu Yong was a child, whether it was reading or eating, he was under the watchful eye of the Facheng family, and the family sat around and diligently looked at this God-given baby brother, no matter how they looked at it, they were satisfied, this scene was well known to everyone in Kyoto, and even the Son of Heaven had joked about this matter.

Seeing Yiqiu smiling wantonly, Zu Yong's heart moved, Zhengse walked up to her and looked at her for a while, and when he saw that Yiqiu was about to be angry, he took out a bottle of peach blossom dew from another food box and gave it to her, and said in a deep voice: "You drink peach blossom dew first, I'll tell you something important!" ”

Yiqiu saw that his face was suddenly solemn, and his heart became uneasy, and without thinking too much, he took the Ruyao thin-necked amphora, took a sip from the mouth of the bottle, and said bluntly: "After drinking, you can tell me quickly." ”

"The peach-colored gold-threaded skirt you are wearing matches today's peach blossom dew very well - for Aijiao's daughter's family, this is not the most important thing!" Zu Yong held back a smile and said softly.

There are only Chi's mother and Yiqiu's mother-in-law next to the old lady in the house, everyone likes the young master very much on weekdays, and they are used to seeing him joking with Yiqiu, so they all hide their mouths and snicker at this time, only Yiqiu is really angry, if it is not in front of his grandmother, he will immediately wave his powder fist and beat him.

Everyone was laughing, and they heard the daughter-in-law in the courtyard shouting: "Master Lin is here!" ”

Lin Shifan is of medium height, different from ordinary generals, he is thinner and has a whiter complexion, and at first glance he looks more elegant and elegant, like a Hanlin master. But when he saw the fierce killing look between his eyebrows, he understood that he was a military attaché, and he had been on the battlefield for a long time.

He came in listening to the laughter in the house, and after saluting Mrs. Wei, he quickly glanced around, Zu Yong immediately said that Uncle Lin was saluting, and then he said that it was inconvenient to bother to go home, and seeing that Shifan and Mrs. Wei both nodded in permission, they were taken out by Chi's mother.

Seeing that Zu Yong was gone, Shi Fancao turned his head and said solemnly to Yiqiu, "In the future, I will be entangled with my ancestral brother." ”

After saying that, he waved her hand to let her out, and when she saw the brocade curtain lowered, she turned her head and said to Mrs. Wei, "Zu Lao Shangshu took the old lady to see me for this matter today, and the old couple cried at their age." The only son who came to be old enough, the old couple hurt like flesh and liver, and they didn't want to let him follow Qiu'er...... I think my martial arts children are too noisy. ”

At the last sentence he lowered his voice and smiled at the old lady again.

Seeing Yiqiu and the others leaving, Mrs. Wei looked at Chi's mother and nodded solemnly, Chi's mother understood, and took all the people in the room to the courtyard gate to stand and listen to the dispatch, and she silently took the door to the door.

"You moved Zu Fa out of the mountain as this slippery old loach?" Mrs. Wei picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, looking at Shifan who was sitting at the bottom of the head.

"Not only that, even your brother Mrs. Wen, I have also brought it to Kyoto, and I will be there in a few days."

Shi Fan picked up the tea bowl on the table, leaned to the end of his nose and sniffed, his face stretched comfortably, and looked at Mrs. Wei with a smile.

"It seems that whether it is to obey the will of heaven or for the reproduction and prosperity of the Lin Wei family, we need to support Yuan Zheng, the child, to practice Zuo." Mrs. Wei looked out the window, the magnolia flowers with the big mouth of the bowl were about to happen, and the shadows of the tall branches fell on the window under the warm sun, and there was a fine fragrance faintly on the nose with the wind. Her voice was a little erratic, as if it had been far away.

The king of Yanling County was born by the first emperor Mingzong Shufei, and although the king of Lin was close to the Wei and Lin families, his mother was originally the maid of the concubine, and she had been sent by Mingzong to live in Yan'an Palace.

In terms of origin, Yanling County is much higher than the king of the lineage, but the concubine has always been virtuous and not tolerated by Mingzong, and the funeral ceremonies after her death are simple, until the king of Yanling County became an adult, and he begged hard to be admitted to the concubine's tomb by Ming Zongen.

After the first emperor succeeded to the throne, most of the time, King Ling was very trusted by the first emperor, and Yanling County had a mother concubine who was not tolerated by Mingzong for virtue and loss, and was not valued by his younger brother and the son of heaven, and was still excluded from the core power.

Shi Fan stepped forward gently, staring at the old lady Wen, the sadness and respect in his eyes changed for a while, and then he picked up two pieces of tender yellow osmanthus sugar steamed chestnut powder cake from the food box and slowly put them into the empty dish next to him.

"I plan to tweet that the old lady will enter the Feng Pavilion as the first assistant, and I will take the position of the official of the Ministry of Shangshu and Heavenly Officials, and govern the six departments. Right now, Yanling County only has a son-in-law who is the secretary of the military department-" He picked up a lotus root powder osmanthus sugar cake and put it down, "More importantly, Li Chongwei is in my hands, and dealing with Li's rebellion against the party is a great thing for the world, and it has to be done by the king of Zhengjun." ”
