The two of them had a very childish quarrel, and when they sat down again, they could talk calmly.

Chen Luo sat on the main seat and had breakfast with Wang Xi.

Wang Xi saw that he ate two vegetable buns, two meat buns and a bowl of white porridge with the pickles and pickles, and couldn't help but be secretly speechless.

The buns are not made from their small kitchen, at most they are the size of a wine cup, and the buns wrapped out of Chen Luo's kitchen are as big as a man's fist, and they have a lot of thick skin and filling, which is more honest than what is sold in the restaurant outside. There are also those pickles and pickles, which are in the sea bowl, and they are in her house, and they have to eat for two or three days, including the ginkgo seeds.

Wang Xi once heard her eldest brother say that the people in the north are real, and they like to use sea bowls for everything. But this is the capital, and when she went to the restaurant to eat, she didn't have such a large amount.

Her heart moved.

Unless it was a barracks or a laborer, it would not have been possible to have such a large amount of food.

But Chen Luo is used to eating.

She took the opportunity to rinse her mouth after dinner and quietly asked Bai Guo: "Have you been to the stove to see it?" What does a cook look like? ”

Bai Guo said in a low voice: "It's a middle-aged man, not tall, but very burly, he doesn't look like a cook, but his hands and feet are very sharp, and he kneades his dough as if he doesn't have any strength, which is very light." ”

Although the meals are rough, they have their own flavor and do not seem to be casual.

Eight or nine out of ten are cooks in the barracks who are accustomed to making big pots of rice.

But Chen Luo is such a dilapidated house, why should he hire such a cook?

and the appearance of Chen Luo eating, which is not in line with his background and status at all.

Thinking of Chen Luo bowing to her twice, Wang Xi wrapped his fingers around the handkerchief, and only after a while did he say "Okay" to Bai Guo, and led the servants around him to the hall.

It's not good if the house is too small, and we eat and drink tea together.

The dishes in the hall had been cleaned up, but the smell of food was still in the air.

Bai Guo ordered a lily incense, and saw that Chen Luo had no discomfort, so he retreated with Bai Zhi.

Wang Xi took a sip of tea.

Replaced the yellow buds that I brought out.

The tranquil aroma of tea lifted her spirits.

Chen Luo took a sip but hesitated: "This, is this Emei Peak?" ”

Wang Xi was shocked.

Chen Luo, he doesn't understand tea.

It shouldn't.

Which meritorious son has not been fine with food and clothing since he was a child, and he has all been fine in food and clothing, not to mention that the Zhenguo Mansion has always been a powerful family, and he has never been down, it is impossible for Chen Luo not to understand this.

She suppressed the strangeness in her heart and said with a smile: "This is Mengding Yellow Bud." Look at the color of this soup, whether it is translucent and translucent, and then look at this tea, it is all tender yellow. That's how it got its name. ”

Chen Luo looked at it and let out a noncommittal "oh", not quite able to say a thing or two, and not very interested.

Wang Xi still had doubts in his heart, so he took the opportunity to test him and said with a smile: "What kind of tea does Lord Chen usually like to drink?" Our family also does a tea business, but it is mainly sold to the northwest and southwest, and there are more fermented teas, but it is not difficult to get green tea and white tea to be privately treasured. ”

Chen Luo said: "Didn't you say that your family likes to drink Emei Peak?" ”

"It's my grandfather who liked to drink it." Wang Xi smiled and said, "I don't care, as long as it's good tea, I like it." At this time, in addition to green tea such as Longjing and Biluochun, it is also a good season to drink yellow tea and white tea. He gave me a few pounds. I haven't drunk it for a few days, and I take it out to entertain you, but I also want to see if you like it or not. ”

She drank his tribute tea, exchanged courtesies, and would also bring good tea to him.

Chen Luo nodded, and suddenly ended the topic, and talked about Doctor Feng: "I want him to help me recommend a doctor who is willing to enter the palace to see the emperor's illness, I don't know if he has any candidates for this." If not, I'll have to ask Dr. Feng to help me find a way. ”

The emperor has palpitations, and it is actually very unwise for the courtiers to recommend a doctor. If the doctor cures the disease, it's okay to say, but if something goes wrong, the person who recommended it will definitely be implicated. But Chen Luo is different, in addition to being a courtier, he is also the emperor's nephew. The nephew recommended the doctor to the uncle, which is care and filial piety.

It's just that it's a bit unusual to mention it again and again.

Not to mention that it was in front of her.

Wang Xi smiled and said, "Do you want our family to find a way to find you another doctor who can see the emperor's heart palpitations?" ”

Sure enough, Bing Xue is smart.

It's just not hard to talk to someone like that.

Chen Luo nodded and said, "This matter is very important. ”

Wang Xi smiled but did not speak.

It's really important.

The more Chen Luo is used in front of the emperor, the better he will be for the Wang family.

But if he didn't tell her anything, he would be a little unkind.

Chen Luo probably also thought of this. He coughed lightly a little uncomfortably, and said in a low voice, "I won't tell you, it's for your own good." Sometimes, knowing too much isn't necessarily a good thing. ”

Wang Xi smiled: "Everything is here and there. ”

Like in the woods of Lu Mingxuan, it is not a good thing that she knows too much.

But now, she and Chen Luo are going to become grasshoppers on a rope, and it is not a good thing to know nothing.

She continued: "My grandfather liked nothing more than to pull us juniors to tell stories about his youth. He once told me that he was lazy when he was a kid and liked to take shortcuts in everything. When he first started to get into the family business, my great-grandfather left him to work as a second shopkeeper in a small county grocery store. My grandfather didn't like to get up early every day and was tired and half dead and didn't make much money, and he didn't want to do it after a few days.

"Just tell my great-grandfather. I asked my great-grandfather to give him a shop for a year, and if he could do better than his old shopkeeper's business, my great-grandfather would promise him never to be an apprentice again.

"My great-grandfather agreed.

"My great-grandfather lost a state grocery store for my grandfather to practice.

"My grandfather would summon the big and small guys in the shop and the shopkeeper to have a meal together, and tell them how much money they would make next year, and then how much they would earn every month, and how much they would be making every day. If it can't be reached, how much wages will be deducted? If so, how much wages will be awarded.

"Let everyone think of a way, how can you make more money?

"Those people knew that my grandfather might be a big proprietor in the future and could get more wages, so they all worked hard to give my grandfather ideas, and they also took the initiative to go out to pull business and run sales. As for my grandfather, he only needs to maintain a good relationship with the government and deal with a few big customers. Although I have to drink and socialize a lot, I can sleep until three poles a day.

"My grandfather thought that days like these were days.

"And he has earned back the previous year's silver in less than half a year.

"Shocked the eyes of a group of clan elders.

"My grandfather said that since then, he has felt that the most important thing in doing business is to give the people below a goal, and everyone knows where the goal is, and only then does they know how to achieve that goal.

"Later, my grandfather took over from my great-grandfather and more than doubled our family's business.

"I think Master Chen can also learn from my grandfather.

"What do you think?"

Chen Luo looked at her and didn't speak, but his eyes seemed a little deep.

Wang Xi sighed secretly.

A shopkeeper who doesn't listen to advice is not a good shopkeeper.

If Chen Luo is such a person, should she break up with him?

She was pondering in her heart, who knew that Chen Luo said frankly: "What you said makes sense." Since Ling Zu was successful, it can be seen that this method is feasible. “

Wang Xi was overjoyed.

Chen Luo has said: "As you said, the emperor's illness and the establishment of the prince are the two major events in the imperial court today. But these two major events are different, but they are actually the same thing. Although I am the emperor's nephew, and the princes are all my cousins, but the emperor has not established a prince for so many years, I really want to know what the emperor thinks in his heart.

"But just a month ago, I was on an errand one day, and the emperor suddenly had heart palpitations. At that time, it was Bai Dajin who served the emperor when he was in the palace. He didn't dare to make a noise, and found me with a frightened expression, asking me not to alarm others, and quickly went to find Imperial Doctor Yang, who often diagnosed the emperor's pulse.

"It's just that by the time Imperial Doctor Yang and I arrived, the emperor was already fine.

"I found that there was an incense stick lit in the study of the Qianqing Palace.

"I often work on errands by the emperor's side, and there is a slight change around the emperor, and those of us who are on errands around the emperor should know and know where these things come from.

"Usually, Bai Dajin never hides from me.

But this time, he noticed that I had noticed the incense, and not only did he not explain its origin to me, but he also whitewashed it and hid it as I turned around.

"I knew there was something wrong with that.

"But Bai Dajin is the emperor's most trusted person, and he doesn't make friends with anyone, even if it's me, it's impossible to know anything from his mouth.

"At first, I was curious, trying to find the incense stick, and I wanted to know where it came from."

When he said this, he paused, and a blank look flashed in his eyes.

Wang Xi couldn't help but be whimsical in his mind again, and helped him answer: "As a result, you found that you couldn't find out where this incense came from." After excluding courtiers and close ministers, you suspect that this incense was offered by a concubine in the palace. ”

"Not bad!" Chen Luo glanced at Wang Xi, his eyes were calm and indifferent, reminding Wang Xi of the air before the storm, quiet but depressing, "But whether it is the queen or the concubine, they are not the people who don't know the rules, the emperor has never accepted the medicine or food they offer without going through the internal affairs office." ”

"The emperor hasn't suddenly favored any beauty recently," Wang Xi said.

If there is a newly fortunate beauty in the palace, Chen Luo will definitely suspect that it is that beauty, and he will not be clueless like this.

"If this incense is respected by the harem concubines, it will definitely be the old man in the palace." She continued, "This person can privately present things to the emperor, and the emperor can use it at a critical time without a trace of doubt, which shows that this concubine is the person the emperor really believes in and loves!"

"If she has a son, maybe the son she gave birth to is the one the emperor really wants to be the prince."

Chen Luo looked at Wang Xi deeply, did not deny her words, but fell silent again.
