Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Joyful Event of the Northwest Marquis
Murong Wangfu is Tiansheng's biggest trouble. Sometimes it wavered in favor of the Turks, and sometimes it leaned towards the Tiansheng Dynasty.
Murong Wangfu is also the only heterosexual palace in the Tiansheng Dynasty, located in Hebei Province, which is the birthplace of the Murong clan, where the rice produced there is good, so after Tiansheng seized power, he did not slaughter and kill the Murong clan, but gave them a piece of land to continue to survive.
"Over the years, the Murong royal family has become more and more inclined to Turkic." Xiao Ke looked at the iron sword that gave birth to a cold glow in the candlelight.
Li Chun couldn't help but sigh, "Four years ago, it was also the queen who made a difference. ”
Xiao Ke raised his eyes slightly, and his tone became cold, "I'm afraid that Hui Hui is better than the Murong royal family." ”
Four years ago, when the Hui and Murong royal families came to ask for marriage, there were only Li Chun's sister Princess Huaiyang and Lu, and the emperor was also very embarrassed.
In the end, the emperor chose to return to the royal family instead of the Murong royal family, firstly because Murong Huan, the eldest son of King Murong, was a frequent visitor to the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, and secondly, the Duke of the Kingdom also put pressure on the emperor.
"So what is Gorou going to do right now?" Li Chun looked at Xiao Ke's dark pupils and knew that he had already made a decision.
Xiao Ke removed the hand leaning on his nose, "Cousin, I want to ask you to take a Hebei Road." ”
"Okay."
Li Chun responded, and Xiao Ke added: "You go back to Huaibei first and go north from the canal." ”
Hearing Li Chun's answer again, Xiao Ke took the arrow in his hand and studied it in detail, and was silent for a long time before letting out a sigh, and he was worried a lot in his heart.
The Murong Palace, which is close to the Turks, is this arrow related to the Mansion of the Kingdom of He, is it collusion with foreign countries......
This matter was temporarily put aside with Li Chun's departure, and the Northwest Hou Mansion was still closed this month, and there were many happy events at home.
Northwest Hou's birthday was September 27th, and Song Niangzi was diagnosed as pregnant on the 20th, and now the matter of Xie Yuan's birthday is back in the hands of Zhou.
Zhou will not let go of this good opportunity, and he is pulling Xie Ying around the kitchen every day. Xie Ying, who returns to Huanhuatang every day, has not been clean for a day.
"Amitabha, are you going to fight in the kitchen?"
Xie Ying fanned the ash in front of her, and then looked at Song Jinqin walking towards her with a smile.
She raised her hand and wanted to pat the ashes on her body, but she was too embarrassed to do it, so she looked back at the red leaves, and dared to take the handkerchief and wipe her hands.
"Sister-in-law laughs at me again!"
Song Jinqin laughed out loud, and then looked at his stomach, "Little guy, you haven't been born yet, your aunt is going to blow up the kitchen, how can you eat well?" ”
Xie Ying hurriedly stepped forward and gently comforted Song Jinqin's stomach, "I didn't hear it!" Didn't hear me! ”
"I promise, before you are born, you will never destroy the kitchen." As he spoke, the two looked at each other and immediately laughed.
"There are two ladies here, our lady's children must be lively." It was the maid who served Song Jinqin, Yuan'er, who joked.
Song Jinqin's cheeks turned red with a smile, and she glanced at Yuan'er embarrassedly, "You talk a lot." ”
As she said that, she stopped laughing and looked at Xie Ying, "Didn't Auntie say a few days ago that you don't have to go to the kitchen in the future?" ”
"It's twenty-six today, and tomorrow is Daddy's birthday." Xie Ying sighed helplessly, "In previous years, when I was in the northwest, I used to make wine for Daddy, but this year I forgot about it when I returned to Chang'an." ”
Xie Ying looked at her seriously, "My sister-in-law taught me a tricky fruit during the begging festival, I wanted to change the filling, but my noodles are not good, and I can't make a crisp several times." ”
"That's it?" Song Jinqin stretched out her hand and patted her shoulder, leaving a little flour behind.
Seeing her nod fiercely, he smiled and comforted her, "You don't have to ask for crispy pastries, you can use peaches for birthday celebrations, and you can also make peach cakes." ”
"There are only chrysanthemums in this world, where do peach blossoms come from?" Xie Ying was worried, and her eyes suddenly lit up, "Chrysanthemums also have the meaning of longevity!" ”
"I've got it in my yard!" Xie Ying was happy, but Song Jinqin's expression was bitter, Xie Ying had no choice but to retract the corners of her mouth and scratch her head to look at her.
Song Jinqin sighed, "Everything in your courtyard was given by His Majesty, and you still used it to eat, how would you get it if someone knew about it?" ”
Xie Ying puffed out her cheeks, glanced at the steps to the side with a weak heart, and then deflated.
"That's it!" Song Jinqin stepped forward and grabbed her hand, "I'll make a peach-shaped steamed cake tomorrow, and I will also make you happy with your uncle!" ”
"Then thank you, sister-in-law!"
September 27, the birthday of the Marquis of Northwest.
Xie Ying got up early, and when she passed by the garden behind her, she saw the red dates tree, and she suddenly had an idea in her heart, and her steps accelerated towards Fenglin Hall.
The cook looked outside the kitchen, "I don't know when that one will come to the kitchen?" ”
Xie Ying learned to cook not only tortured Xie Ying, but also tortured the kitchen ladies in the kitchen.
"Then you don't want to do your own thing, if the second lady comes, I'm afraid you won't be able to do anything today." A few of the cooks laughed at her.
The cook lady felt concerned and quickly turned around to do things, and the maid who chose vegetables in the kitchen hurriedly came, "Song Niangzi and Erniangzi are here!" ”
Everyone, you look at me, quickly put down the things in your hands, and prepare the things that Song Niangzi said yesterday to prepare.
At this moment, the kitchen hall is highly nervous inside and out, and with Song Niangzi present today, it should not be a big sin if they destroy the birthday banquet prepared by Mrs. Hou Ye for Hou Ye.
"Two ladies Ann."
Xie Ying carefully supported Song Jinqin, and the scene was like offering a "Bodhisattva" who could help her make pastries.
"Where is it so delicate?"
Song Jinqin shook her head helplessly, and walked to the kitchen counter, "Let the second lady make noodles first!" ”
Xie Ying nodded, and the cooks quickly brought half a catty of flour and two or five thousand water, and they all watched Xie Ying knead the dough with bated breath.
This time, nothing went wrong, Xie Ying just had more strength, and kneading the dough was faster than the kitchen lady in the kitchen.
Then it's time to prepare the red bean paste.
"I saw a tree of dates in the back garden today, why don't you use red dates instead!" Xie Ying looked at the red bean paste and always felt a little single.
When the cook heard this, she immediately persuaded: "Although the dates are red, they have not been sun-dried and cannot be made into pastries." ”
Xie Ying was stunned, "Can't you?" ”
"Not really." Song Jinqin said with a smile, "That jujube has to be dried to be sweet." ”
"Then you can always hold it in the stuffing!" Xie Ying doesn't give up, and the dates are quite sweet if they are not sunburned.
The cook said seriously: "It's not sweet with jujubes." ”
Xie Ying was a little discouraged, the cake in front of her was her sister-in-law's proposal, and she couldn't bury her sister-in-law's mind. You have to have some heart to do it.
"Go ahead!" Song Jinqin smiled and spoke, and Xie Ying came to her senses, "Really! ”
Song Niangzi nodded, and Xie Ying excitedly took away the small basket in the kitchen hall and hurried to the back garden.
Yuan'er leaned in, "Lady knows, there are people in the back garden!" ”
Song Jinqin nodded lightly, only smiled and did not speak......
