Come, guest, roast duck!! ”

The guy at the Quande Lou roast duck restaurant made a long sound and brought the roast duck and dough cakes, while the companion behind him brought two plates of side dishes.

After waiting for the shopkeeper to go down, the three people dressed as officials did not rush to eat, but first bowed to Yan Zhutou, who was sitting in the east seat, and said:

"Thank you for your hospitality!"

Yan Xiaoliu waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, eat." ”

"Then let's eat, hahaha, I've long heard that the Quandelou roast duck in the capital is the most famous."

"It's extreme, it's extreme, otherwise the Marquis of Zhenbei can eat five ducks in one go!"

"The Marquis of Jingnan has also eaten this mile."

The three officials rolled up the roast duck with thin flour cakes, dipped it in some sauce, and put it in their mouths, and immediately, the faces of the three showed enjoyment.

"Ah, I've never eaten such a delicious roast duck in my life."

"Yes, it melts in the mouth, fat but not greasy."

"Delicious, delicious."

Yan Xiaoliu smiled, snapped his fingers, and instructed Xiao Er who came over:

"Two more."

"Well, you're waiting."

"I can't help it, big head, ducks here are precious."

"Yes, let's try it first, we shouldn't spend so much."

Yan Xiaoliu shook his head and said, "If you want to eat, let go of eating, I have also collected a lot of the neighbors' oil and water and your filial piety on weekdays, and I can still afford to invite you to eat a few ducks." ”

"Big head, high righteousness!"

"It's a big deal!"

While the others continued to feast, Yan Xiaoliu also wrapped a piece of roast duck and put it in his mouth, took a bite, and put it down.

The heat is not very well controlled, and the duck selection is not the same as before.

The man surnamed Zheng said in the letter that a lot of business, if you hand it over to the government to do, it will often turn bad.

This Quande Building, in fact, has changed its taste.

Of course, if you want to say how delicious the roast duck of Quandelou was in the past, it is also nonsense, you can only say that it is okay, but now it is a little unsatisfactory.

In fact, the difference between the two is not very big, in the final analysis, the duck is a duck in the end, you make a flower, it is also a duck after all, after all, it is still a duck smell.

"Hey, big head, how did you say this duck in Quande Building, why is it so delicious?"

"I've heard that the ducks in the Quande Building are fed with good feed every day, which is different from the ducks in other places."

When Yan Xiaoliu heard this, he smiled and said:

"It's nothing unusual, to put it bluntly, it's just two words."

"Big head, what are those two words?"

"Authentic."

"Authentically?"

"Huh, authentically?"

"Yes, it's authentic, ducks are actually still ducks, in fact, the ducks in the auspicious duck shop in our Nan'an County, in my opinion, are much better than this Quande Building, and the price is much cheaper than here.

Compared with the two, the difference is nothing more than that after you enter Yanjing City, the locals will talk to you twice, saying that this Quandelou roast duck is the authentic taste of Yanjing.

You just want to eat it, and then you think it's delicious.

Actually, that's it. ”

"Huh?"

"What?"

The servants were obviously unable to understand the Tao for a while.

Yan Xiaoliu immediately felt a little high, in this era, there are not many people who can understand the added value of food, but that guy seems to be quite good, and he can often talk to himself, and that guy also named it, what is it called marketing.

Yanjing City is particularly lively today.

The county lord of Zhenbei Hou had already entered Yanjing three days ago, but since he did not enter the palace directly, even if an ordinary woman marries, there must be a charter to follow, not to mention the wedding of the county lord and the prince.

Therefore, the county lord first lived in the West Garden, which is where the Marquis of Zhenbei lived after entering Beijing.

Today, it is the day of the wedding, and the prince will personally lead people to the West Garden to greet his relatives, which also reflects the respect of the Ji family for the Li family.

In front of the county lord, the prince of the Ji family will also put away the so-called extravagance, just like an ordinary boy getting married.

When the prince gets married, it is natural that congratulatory gifts will be offered in various places, but His Majesty has already issued an order and did not prohibit the offering, but the requirements for congratulatory gifts are very stuck.

Nan'an County in Tiancheng County is really not poor, but the county government only sent a cart of cloth and rice noodles.

With such a little thing, Yan Zhutou and the servants are responsible for escorting them into Beijing to find the Ministry of Rites to hand them over.

The most shrewd person is an official, after His Majesty's will, no one dares to be the first bird, whoever sends it will check whom, don't you hurry up and keep a low profile?

Don't be a sycophant, first lose the black gauze hat.

Yan Xiaoliu looked at the lanterns on the street, and he could feel that the people of Yanjing were very happy about this big wedding.

You must know that not long ago, the 300,000 iron cavalry of the Zhenbei Army was like a mountain pressing on people's hearts, so depressed that people couldn't breathe, and now this situation can be regarded as a sign of the complete integration and reconciliation of the Zhenbei Army and the imperial court, and the big guy no longer has to worry about his family fighting, so this joy is really from the heart.

According to the hour, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should have led a team to the West Garden at this time, and it is estimated that it will not be long before he will enter the city from the Xizhi Gate, and then enter the palace through the Son of Heaven Kuodao.

Along the way, many people are already looking forward to taking a position in advance.

"Brothers, eat first, I'll go to the toilet."

"Go ahead."

"We'll keep this duck for you."

"Don't stay, your stomach is uncomfortable, you can't eat greasy, you just eat it, save wasted things."

Yan Xiaoliu left his seat, and after walking out, he didn't go downstairs, but went upstairs and entered a first-class box on the second floor.

Pushing the door in, there were two people sitting inside, it was Father-in-law Zhang and Father-in-law Zhang.

When Little Liuzi came in,

One big and one small Zhang Gonggong immediately got up,

"The slave greets the master!"

"The slave greets the master!"

Fortunately, Grandpa Zhang is an old man in the palace, and he is the companion of Xiao Liuzi who has been by his side since he was a child, and he has such a cultivation in it.

Xiao Zhang's father-in-law was different, after seeing the six princes, tears unconsciously poured out.

"Master, the slave really wants to kill you!"

Saying,

Xiao Zhang's father-in-law also kowtowed to the six princes three times.

This kind of emotional outpouring is true and cannot be faked, folk women pay attention to marrying chickens and dogs, in fact, eunuchs are not far behind.

Moreover, it is much more difficult for eunuchs to change their masters than for folk women to remarry.

The master is the pillar of your life, your spirit, and your faith.

In the past, his own master was the most unpowerful of the princes, but no matter what, after all, there can still be such a disgraced fantasy in his heart.

It's good now, the master is gone, Xiao Zhang's father-in-law really feels that he has become a child without a father and mother in the past few months, and he used to look at his good appearance and often flattered himself Xiao Ju, the palace maid who often flattered him, and he didn't care about himself for a while, and there was no fun with food.

The already crippled life suddenly became even more bleak.

The Sixth Prince walked to the window and stood, looking at the bustling scene below.

Since the Beihou Mansion was established in Beifeng County and isolated the threat from the barbarians, Yanjing City has almost passed decades of "singing and dancing".

Zhang Gong said openly:

"Master, how are you doing?"

A smile appeared on the corner of the sixth prince's mouth, and he said, "It's good, it's quite comfortable." ”

It's much more comfortable than being trapped in the prince's mansion.

In Grandpa Zhang's eyes, there was a touch of gloom that was fleeting.

Today is the day of the prince's wedding, and other princes will wear python robes to accompany the second prince to greet their relatives, but their own master, who is obviously also a prince, can only stand here in the clothes of catching fast and watch from afar.

is also the prince, and His Majesty's heart is too ruthless.

"By the way, is that done?"

"Is it the prisoner named Ran Min?"

"Yes."

"Back to the master, your orders have been carried out, the batch of prisoners he is in will be sent to Litian City, his subordinates have already made arrangements, opened a letter, and then sent from Litian City to Shengle, there should be no variables."

"Hmm."

Ran Min is the one who kills, drinks and eats meat in the county hall, and the six princes think that person is a little interesting, so they take a look at the surname Zheng.

Among the princes, only the eldest prince can legitimately control the army, and the rest of the princes have more or less some influence on the army.

The only military leader that the six princes have contact with is Zheng Fan, in fact, to tell you the truth, the six princes also know that if Zheng Fan hadn't relied on his military exploits again and again and Tian Wujing's appreciation and protection, would his father have started directly.........

It's hard to say.

"By the way, I have one more thing ........."

"Knock!!!! Boom!!!!! Boom!!!!! ”

The dull and heavy bell rang suddenly,

Followed by

In the four directions of the entire Yanjing City, bells rang out.

The face of the sixth prince changed,

Father-in-law Zhang was also shocked,

Only Xiao Zhang's father-in-law was a little inexplicable, and couldn't help but ask stupidly:

"Is this the wedding bell?"

Father-in-law Zhang slapped the back of the head of Father-in-law Zhang and scolded:

"Bastard, this is Lizhong!"

The sixth prince licked his lips,

Road:

"Looks like something is wrong."

………

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is dressed in a gold-rimmed robe specially made for today, and the patterns and accessories on the clothes, pearls, etc., are all lowered according to the emperor's standards, but they are definitely a lot higher than the brothers around him, so as to show the different atmosphere of the lord of the East Palace.

The eldest prince led the troops outside, and the sixth prince was forbidden to go out by his father, so the people who accompanied His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today were his fourth, fifth and seventh brothers.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in front,

The three princes are behind,

After that, there is the younger generation of nobles from all walks of life.

Today, for the crown prince, is an extremely important day, to be the son of His Majesty today, it is not easy, even if he is the eldest son, but over the years, he has been trembling.

Especially last year, his own uncle destroyed his mother's family, and the queen mother fell ill after returning to the palace, and the prince once thought that his future was bleak.

Who knew that he would not only successfully enter the East Palace, but also marry the county lord of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion today.

After today's wedding, he will naturally get the natural support of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion and the Zhenbei Army.

The position of the prince will be more steady!

On the way to greet relatives, the people on both sides of the royal road flocked to kneel, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered people to scatter copper coins and have fun with the people.

The team, stop-and-go, the scenery and scenery, finally came to the gate of the West Garden.

The Zhenbei Hou and his wife did not return to Beijing, but on the periphery of the West Garden, there was a Zhenbei army stationed, and they were the county lord's mother's family.

But

In the end, it is the marriage of the royal family, and the act of greeting relatives and boasting on the street is out of line, and the kind of playful games and difficulties similar to those when the people welcome relatives are impossible.

There should be decency and solemnity, but there must still be it.

The sound of gongs and drums sounded, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince turned over and dismounted, and first signaled the sedan chair that was doing thirty-six lifts to stop and hem;

forthwith

He took a few steps forward,

Bow down:

"Boy Ji Chenglang, Xie Zhenbei Hou Ye and Zhenbei Hou Lady are in love, I have to ask Ling Yan to enter the sedan chair."

Zhenbei Hou and his wife didn't come, but they should be thanked, they still have to be thanked, and the process of the scene also has to go.

Next

There is also His Majesty's holy decree, followed by the family letter of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, followed by the queen's decree, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu has to personally preside over some processes.

Therefore, although there is no folk joyful game when greeting relatives, the process is cumbersome, compared with the folk, only high.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also ate early,

The three princes also had their stomachs full early in the morning,

Ready to fight a protracted war.

But His Majesty's decree has just been recited,

There's still a lot of process to go through.

The gate of the West Garden suddenly opened from the inside.

One of the four great swordsmen, the famous sword of Yan State, Li Liangshen, the chief soldier of the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei, held the sword in front of him in his left hand, and led a young woman wearing a phoenix crown and red makeup in his right hand to slowly walk out of it.

When the surrounding civil and military nobles saw this scene, they were all stunned, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu was even more stuck in his throat with a mouthful of old phlegm, unable to cough out and swallow, and almost rolled his eyes and fainted.

Li Liangshen is the righteous son of the Hou of Zhenbei, that is, the righteous brother of the county lord, his parents are not in the capital, and Li Liangshen led him out to send his relatives, which is a matter of course.

But you shouldn't skip the ceremony in this way, it's an attitude, a gesture that you don't want to use these rules of etiquette to restrain me!

Now that the forbidden army in Beijing is not there, the defense of the capital is actually the Zhenbei Army, which is the dowry of the county lord and the confidence of the county lord.

His Royal Highness the Prince's face froze slightly, but soon, his face was full of warm smiles, and he took the initiative to walk over, ignoring the master of ceremonies next to him and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu who was about to burst his cerebral blood vessels, this was planning to do the same and go to meet his wife.

The three princes, except for the seventh year younger, the fourth and fifth highnesses glanced at each other, with schadenfreude and a wry smile in their eyes.

The schadenfreude is that the second child married a tigress, but some of them suffered.

The wry smile is,

Such a strong sister-in-law, her status is still so special, these little uncles, they will live in the future, alas......

On the wall of the palace gate of the Yan Imperial Palace, the dragon of the Yan Emperor has been prepared, and Wei Zhonghe is accompanying His Majesty.

The county lord married into the Ji family,

Li Liangting can not come,

But he Ji Runhao, he must give face to his brother who grew up together.

As the king of a country, as the head of the family, he surrendered himself and waited at the gate of the palace to greet him.

At this time, from time to time, eunuchs come and go from the West Garden to get the latest news there.

After hearing that the county lord directly skipped the etiquette and took the initiative to walk out by himself,

Ji Runhao laughed,

This temper,

has the demeanor of her mother.

Once, in the West Garden, after Emperor Yan and the Marquis of Zhenbei got drunk, Emperor Yan himself once said, if your daughter has the ability to kill Si Chen, then come.

He Ji Runhao is still alive, she has no chance.

When he Ji Runhao leaves, as long as she doesn't do anything sorry for Lao Ji's family, the rest can be tossed by her.

Therefore, for the outrageous behavior of the county lord, who is his daughter-in-law, who will pass through the door, Emperor Yan really doesn't care at all, but finds it interesting.

"Jingnan Hou Mansion, has the door been closed?"

Emperor Yan seemed to think of something and asked.

Wei Zhonghe immediately said: "Back to Your Majesty's words, yes, there have been several batches of edicts, but whether it is a secret decree or a middle decree, the Jingnan Marquis Mansion refuses to accept it." ”

Emperor Yan nodded, but there was no joy or anger on his face.

In this matter, Wei Zhonghe did not say a word more, and he did not dare to speculate on the holy will.

Shaoqing,

Emperor Yan said again:

"Later, you go and hand a note to Zhao Jiulang, and when Wujiang finishes the battle this time, let him get married, and let Zhao Jiulang personally figure out a charter for Wujiang's marriage etiquette.

can't overshadow the limelight this time, but it can't be too shabby, since his old barbarian king is willing to marry his daughter, our Dayan can't be too childish. ”

"Yes, the slave knows."

At this moment,

"Knock!! Boom!!! Boom!!!!!! ”

The bell rang suddenly.

It's the sound of the bell!

Away from the bell, has not been ringed for many years, on the four gates of Dayan, there is a bell from the emperor, the ancestor of the Ji family set up, this bell, not for the time, not for the joy and mourning, not for the festival;

The reason why it is called the bell is off,

It is that once the war in Yanguo changes, once this bell rings, it will mark that the descendants of the Ji family and the big Yan Erlang in Yanjing City will say goodbye to their families and separate, get on the horse with a knife, and go to the battlefield.

Back then, when the battle between Dayan and the barbarians was the most tragic, the bell could be said to ring every year, and over the years, in fact, they had already rested in peace, and many young Yan people didn't know about the bell.

Dayan ancestral system, once the news of the defeat of the larger battle in front comes, the military situation but through the city gate, the bell will inevitably ring, and the rest of the city gate will respond quickly.

Yanjing up and down, suspend all celebrations and funerals, and jointly deal with the crisis.

This is also a warning from the ancestors of the Ji family to future generations, worried that there will be the kind of unscrupulous descendants who can only enjoy themselves despite the monstrous floods outside.

The emperors of later generations are not allowed to play any whitewashing, bury their heads in the soil, and play a superficial stability maintenance trick that has not happened.

Wei Zhonghe immediately said:

"Your Majesty, the first bell is coming from the East Gate."

It came from the east gate, which meant that it was military intelligence from the east, not from the desert from the west.

It was the army of the Eastern Crusade, the army of the Eastern Crusade, which was defeated.

"Spread my will, the wedding will be suspended, and hundreds of officials will be announced."

"The minions obey."

Even if it is the prince's wedding, when the departure bell rings, it must be stopped.

Long Man was raised, and Emperor Yan would also leave here and go to the main hall to wait for the civil and military officials to come to discuss the matter, but before leaving, Emperor Yan suddenly said:

"Immediately send an edict to the Marquis of Jingnan, and ask him Tian Wujing, has he made enough trouble!"

————

The body has not recovered yet, the spirit has recovered a little, and he is already trying to get more yards as much as possible, clenching his fists.
