Chop the green onions, put them in the bottom of a bowl, cover them with hot rice, add a tablespoon of lard and drizzle with soy sauce, stir well, and finally, serve with a plate of dried salted radish and pickled ginger.

Zheng Fan picked up the spoon, scooped it up, and put it in his mouth, full of aroma and extremely satisfied.

It's just that the first spoonful goes down, and the second spoon has to be stopped first.

Marquis Zheng admits that if it is such a big bowl of lard bibimbap when he is marching and fighting, it will definitely be a dream to wake up with a smile, but it is a pity that on weekdays, he Marquis Zheng has no shortage of oil and water in his stomach, and he will still feel tired easily if he directly cooks this bowl of rice.

On the contrary, a few men dressed as Lifu on the two tables opposite ate a sweet meal.

oh

That's right

and Fan Li, who was sitting next to him, saw the bottom of a big bowl of lard bibimbap.

Then rub your chin,

looked at himself aggrievedly.

Marquis Zheng smiled and shouted to the woman who was busy working over there:

"Three more bowls."

"Okay!" The woman quickly began to prepare.

Fan Li smiled with satisfaction and anticipation.

Here, in fact, it is not a storefront, it can only be regarded as an alley on the street, with tables and chairs on both sides of the line against the wall, and a woman is there to run this business.

"Is it delicious?"

Zheng Fan looked at the Sword Saint sitting beside him.

The Sword Master chewed slowly and said:

"Yes."

"Hmm."

Since Hou Ye Zheng asked someone, he ate another spoonful, but fortunately, the pickled ginger here is crisp and refreshing, and it can suppress the greasy gas.

Sitting on a small table behind Marquis Zheng was an old man, with a pot of wine, a plate of peanuts, and a plate of dried tea in front of the old man.

What is particular is that on the side of the old man, there is a small screen-like thing to cover it, which is plain and pure, but it gives people a sense of nondescriptry.

And every time the old man smashed a sip of wine, he had to touch his goat's beard, shake his head slightly or nod slightly, as if the matter of Hongchen had already been seen through and as if he had just understood some principles of heaven and earth.

This kind of look, Marquis Zheng can be said to have seen a lot.

When I was in Fengxincheng, I don't know where it came from that the Marquis of Pingxi likes to come out to eat a soup cake near the Hou Mansion, so every day later, there are many "talented people" or "ambitious" scholars or so-called strangers in the soup cake shop, eating cakes while constantly doing this kind of action.

It's just that Marquis Zheng is relatively lazy, and he doesn't have the heart to learn from Qin Xiaogong to hook up with Shang Ying or learn from Liu Bei Sangu Thatched House, he came out to fight the tooth sacrifice just to make the tooth sacrifice, as for the work of recruiting and selecting talents, it is basically taken care of by blind people.

So, those guys are really making a show for the blind.

This meal, Marquis Zheng really can't eat it, it's too porcelain, and the material is enough, he is worried that he will get into trouble if he eats it again, this body is now a five-grade master, but as long as it is not in the war, he still looks a little squeamish.

At this time, He Chu came over, holding a large pot of rice in his hand, and helped set it on the small stove.

The woman took out a handkerchief and intimately helped He Chu wipe the sweat beads on her forehead.

yes

He Chu got married.

He was married to a woman of the clan.

But it's not a kinship;

Although the emperor of the Ji family is now in sole power, it will never make the Ji family as depressed as the Sword Saint sitting next to Zheng Fan when he was a child, but after the children and grandchildren multiply, even if it is a clan, some distant relatives are actually not much different from ordinary people, it is nothing more than that they can still be named on the family tree.

But neither the elite nor the bureaucracy.

During the reign of the first emperor, the power and responsibility of receiving money and grain from the clan were transferred to the household department, which was an act of digging the foundation of the clan.

Looking at the fact that the title of the abolished prince turned out to be an earl, it is enough to see that the new monarch will inherit the tradition of the previous emperor and continue to reduce the status and expenses of the clan.

Therefore, if the Yu clan is inferior to a dog because of the decline of imperial power, then the Ji clan has become a real dog because the imperial power is too strong and does not need the help of these poor relatives.

But no matter what, the clan is a clan after all, and the clan girls are still different from ordinary women.

The daughter of this clan was fined two hundred taels of silver because her father had an accident on an errand, and the family had no money left to be fined, so it was counted in the bride price.

In the past, the daughter of the clan is not worried about getting married, her vision is lowered, and she can always find some good people among the people, but there are follow-up statements on her father's errand, and it has not been completely decided, so although many families are tempted to afford this bride price but dare not really wade into this troubled water.

At that time, the emperor was still in the back garden, and the princelings and the six masters were fighting in full swing, and the people below were actually not very able to participate, but this did not affect a wave that would shoot them to death.

Therefore, you just can't get married.

Lao He Tou has been giving He Chu Zhang Luo's daughter-in-law, and his request is very simple, the daughter-in-law had better be literate.

The matchmaker came to invite, so he asked his son to go to the meeting, at first, I only heard the matchmaker say that it was the daughter of the family, everyone was beautiful, and the family was fined for lack of money.

Lao He Tou thinks it's good, and it's cheap.

The family background of Nan'an County has been brought to Beijing, and the business has been good in Beijing, and there are no local ruffians or government officials who come to extort bamboo.

Two hundred taels of silver, hey, Lao He can really get it!

Most importantly,

Although Lao He Tou usually does not keep silent, and he strictly forbids his own son to speak, in fact, he has always had a bottom in his heart, and he usually goes to the teahouse to listen to stories, and then listens to other people's stories on the streets and alleys, and he understands;

Or, his own family will be finished with his uncle;

Or, follow your uncle to heaven together;

Uncle went to heaven, he didn't want to follow, but at least, the old man has something to rely on, right?

Don't expect your uncle to send him to the end, he can't afford it;

But at least you won't look at yourself when you're seriously ill and you don't have money to buy medicine, right?

Therefore, he is really willing to spend money.

The clan is broken, and has been worried about the silver penalty for the public, and there is no place at all, when I heard a family patting their chests and saying that they could wrap it up, hey, not to mention how refreshing.

The process of a water is in a hurry, and I can't wait to hand over the silver with one hand and the other hand.

ultimately

Married.

When they got married, the palace gave a gift, but it was silent.

But the next day, Lao He Tou asked He Chu to return these original items, and also added Danxi noodles and red egg oil sieves.

The daughter-in-law's surname is Ji, and her name is Bihe.

The day after marrying into the He family, he began to make breakfast for the two of them, and there was a serious hostess in the small courtyard, and the days were really warm.

The daughter-in-law is capable, and she set up a stall of lard bibimbap, opposite the pork shop of the He family, although they are all doing the business of the bottom Han, but there is also a lot of income, after all, the husband's family sells pork, and this lard is self-produced and sold.

After He Chu became a parent, his life finally settled down, running back and forth on both sides of the shop every day, and helping wherever he was busy.

Thanks to the care of the He family's pork shop, oh no, to be exact, because this is a derivative branch of the He family's pork shop, there is nothing in this soy sauce bibimbap shop that dares to make trouble and find fault.

day

It's going to be red-hot.

But who knew that within half a month of getting married, the daughter-in-law's grandfather came to the door.

The old man is naturally surnamed Ji, with the word "Guang" in his name, and Lao He Tou calls him "Lao Guangtou".

Lao Guangtou came, with the family's house deed.

He originally followed his eldest son to live in Nanwang City, and after hearing that something happened in his hometown, that is, the capital, he came back immediately, and when he came back, he learned that his second son had redeemed his granddaughter in order to pay the fine, and he relied on the bride price money to make up the silver, and he almost died of anger.

But people are already married, what else can they do?

Lao Guangtou is a hard-tempered man, holding a knife across his neck, and forcing his second son to take out the deed after the division of the family, this is the old house in Beijing, counting their ancestral home, not big, but it is worth three or four hundred taels of silver.

The old man directly mortgaged the deed here, saying when he would collect the arrears of two hundred taels of dowry and send it over, and when he would take back the deed.

If you can't get through, then this deed is your family, sign and draw.

It was a lively day,

The second son has a wooden temper and doesn't like to talk after committing an accident, but his wife and a little aunt are making a lot of trouble.

Even Bihe said that he was supporting the shop to make up money, but he was scolded back by Lao Guangtou, saying that granddaughter, if you marry into the He family, you are a member of the He family, where is the reason for the money earned to make up for the deficit in the family? This is what your father owes you, your father is useless, and your grandfather will bear it for you.

In the end, the deed remained at the He family.

It's also a strange thing, a month after getting married, Bihe's Mu Ne's father, who had committed trouble, actually came down on a new errand and moved into the imperial city as a guard.

In fact, the guards in the palace have a tradition of being selected from the nobles of the clan, after all, people with the same surname can be trusted, and it is also a kind of welfare among relatives, but there are so many people in the clan, and if you want to go up, you have to fight for the relationship to make the silver, who would have thought that this great thing would suddenly fall?

Now, there is hope for the life of the family, and the dowry is no longer far away.

And this old Guangtou, who has been going back and forth with Lao Hetou, is also familiar with each other.

Old He Tou will be a man,

The old Guangtou can also be a man,

Every afternoon when Lao Guangtou has nothing to do, he likes to go to his granddaughter's shop to drink a little wine.

Wine, bring your own, rub a small plate of peanuts and a small plate of dried tea for his granddaughter and grandson-in-law, in his words, I didn't feed this granddaughter snacks when I was a child, and I should get it when I get old.

So

On the table of Marquis Zheng, when Fan Li killed three more bowls of lard bibimbap and ordered three more bowls,

Lao He Tou came, first kicked his son and told him not to get tired of guarding the pork shop with his daughter-in-law now, and he sat down with the grandfather of the Qin family, grabbed a handful of dried fruits or melon seeds from his pocket and didn't know which shop next door sent them to the neighborhood, and put them on the table, and the daughter-in-law added a small wine glass, and the two old men sat there and began to drink.

In fact, the two old men are different in generation, but they still talk about each other as equals.

Lao Guangtou is a clan, and he has been in Nanwangcheng, so he can be regarded as "well-informed", and he loves to brag, so he likes to find people to talk to;

What about the old man, I used to go to the teahouse to listen to stories, but now I even saved the tea money.

One loves to blow, the other loves to listen, perfect match.

"In-laws, I used to hear people say that Chongxi Chongxi, the old man I still don't believe this, now, but some have to believe it, you see, my eldest son is now promoted to the captain of the palace guard, and my second son also sent a letter, in Nanwangcheng, served as a grain transport officer.

ah

Originally, this house was about to break, who would have thought, this is less than half a year old, and the wind direction is different. ”

"That's, that's."

Lao He nodded with a smile.

Your son was promoted,

My son-in-law has also been promoted,

This official can, Emperor.

The new monarch succeeded to the throne as Ji Chengjue, the sixth prince of Dayan, the former princess He, and the queen.

After learning the news,

Lao He Tou and He Chu, the two of them sat together, facing each other, and they didn't come out of the stall, so they sat all night.

was so frightened that Bihe thought that the father and son of the family had bumped into each other.

"Oh, even now, Your Majesty has just succeeded to the throne, and it will not be peaceful, you say, I am the prime minister of Dayan, and I was intercepted and killed by that barbarian on the street.

barbarian! ”

Marquis Zheng on the side listened quite interestingly.

Lao Guangtou added:

"This son has no ** barbarian!"

"........." Marquis Zheng.

Lao He nodded and said, "So, is there another war?" ”

Lao Guangtou waved his sleeves,

Road:

"Isn't it, a country is a country, a family, do you know how big an official a country is? That's really one man under ten thousand people.

I, Yanren, have suffered such a great humiliation, how can I swallow my anger?

Your Majesty has issued an edict,

Order the two princes of the north and south to immediately go to Beifeng County to lead the army to recruit the barbarians, and they will definitely pay for their blood debts! ”

"The two kings of the north and the south are going?" Old He Tou asked.

"Go, it's in a hurry, it's impossible to open any more ceremonies, but, alas, in-laws, desert, have you ever been there?"

"No, you've been?"

"When I was young, I got a transfer errand, I went once, the desert, the big mile, I haven't even gone in, just on the side, glance at it, damn it, it's all sand, endless sand.

This barbarian, it's in the sand, in fact, it's not difficult to beat them, the problem is, they can run.

alas

Not surprisingly,

It's going to be a big war again. ”

"No, we're going to fight again."

It's going to be war again.

This was the first reaction of the people of Yan after hearing the edict of the new monarch declaring war.

fight

The main army is okay, Beifeng County is ready-made, and outside the capital, there is also a Zhenbei army available at any time.

But the question is,

A large-scale campaign inevitably requires the mobilization of a large number of men and auxiliaries, and the requisition of a large amount of grain and grass.

Everyone's life is already difficult now, and there will be another big war, how should we live our lives?

But then,

And not many people complained,

Everyone doesn't want to fight, because they can't survive anymore, but everyone is not against fighting, because it's going to fight barbarians.

Leaving aside the prerequisites for Zaisuke's killing,

YU Yanguo,

The court is from the people, fighting the barbarians, that is political correctness!

No one dared to dissuade the emperor at this time, to start with the people, to swallow his anger, and to slowly try to do it.

No one would dare, and no one would.

For hundreds of years, the Yan people have long understood a truth from countless bloody battles with the barbarians, and they must not take a step back against the barbarians!

As for the anti-war sentiment, it really didn't take off;

If the new monarch issues an edict at this time, and then attacks or destroys Chu with the strength of the whole country, the people will really be unable to bear it.

But the goal is the barbarians,

Complain to complain, sigh to sigh,

But the old Yan people still do what they should do, those who are ready to enlist in the army, those who are ready to be conscripted into the army, those who are ready to serve the people, and even, the bureaucratic system at all levels has begun to operate spontaneously, and the statistics of the county, the county, and even the village can be young.

The old swallow people are also people,

During the reign of the first emperor, he was already tired of fighting for many years, and if he went on an expedition to other countries, he would inevitably be war-weary.

But the question is,

The barbarians don't fight, the barbarians are up,

The Yan people's home will inevitably be affected, and the land of the Yan people will also be ignited by war.

Still war-weary, huh?

beat

It can only be fought!

Dayan is now a giant beast that looks powerful on the outside, but is actually extremely tired, but at this time, he still instinctively began to wipe his fangs, ready to pounce on this old neighbor to his west.

The clouds of war, accompanied by the edict of the new monarch, have begun to gather.

At this time, He Chu deserted from the butcher shop stall to see his daughter-in-law.

"Chu, when it's time for the recruitment, you can go too, fight the barbarians." Lao Guangtou shouted to his grandson-in-law.

Old He nodded first,

Road:

"Okay, he should go."

He was the eldest brother,

His sister-in-law is the emperor of Dayan,

Old He Tou thinks,

Dayan wants to fight, and he's the first to go.

The people, even if it is a person like Lao Guangtou, who seems to know a lot of inside stories, he can't actually count the dates of these events.

When the prime minister died, the new monarch was furious, and first killed the barbarian envoys in the Honglu Temple, and then issued an edict to attack the barbarians.

After waiting, the results came, and no one could tell clearly, and there seemed to be something wrong with the distance and time.

Zheng Fan forcibly pressed another bite of lard bibimbap,

With your eyes closed,

Swallowed.

Seeing this scene, the Sword Master said:

"It's delicate."

"That's it."

Marquis Zheng made no secret of it.

At this moment,

A group of cavalrymen with colorful flags behind them rode from the capital and shouted:

"Great victory, great victory, the two princes broke through the royal court and killed countless barbarian kings and barbarian nobles!"

"Great victory, the royal court is destroyed, and the Jingguan is cast!"

"The desert is a great victory, and the barbarian king is beheaded!"

Time

On the street,

Regardless of the magnates and leaders, they all cheered and shouted wildly, and with the continuous spread of the news of the great victory, the Great Yan Capital, which was immersed in the sad atmosphere of losing the emperor a while ago, suddenly became a sea of noise.

And with that,

It is the spontaneous voice of the people who call for long live the mountain.

It was a thrilling victory, and its significance could even go beyond victories over other countries.

At this time, the swallows felt,

Their emperor is gone,

but

Their emperor, in fact, is still there!

Marquis Zheng pushed away the remaining half bowl of lard bibimbap with some disgust,

Laughed:

"Ouch, I'm scared."

"You were more sure than anyone else before, and you couldn't imagine the possibility of losing." Juggernaut said.

"How can there be no risk in a war? I'm also worried that I'm talking too much, and I'm going to slap my face, hehehe. ”

Juggernaut shook his head.

Marquis Zheng clapped his hands,

Road:

"Okay, the battle has been won, and the royal court has been destroyed.

hehe

LAO Tian,

I should be back soon. ”
