657 Birthday Banquet Preparation

This General Shen is really a strange woman, and it can be seen from this incident that her vision and pattern are far greater than I imagined. Xiao Fengqi sighed softly, "She knows about this, there is no need to tell us at all, you can see our jokes, but she didn't." ”

"I used to think that Xia Ren was cunning and not sincere at all, but General Shen impressed me." Yelu Nan nodded, "It's worth intersecting." ”

"I sigh now, we are all sober and understanding people, if it were replaced by any of the families in Linhuang Mansion who are not clear-minded, it will not be the current practice." Qi Zhifeng glanced at Xiao Fengqi with slanted eyes, "Don't talk about others, it's those people in your family, I guess the first thought is to rush to cooperate with others." ”

"Seeking skin with tigers is a stupid thing they often do." Xiao Fengqi, who was sarcastically ridiculed, was not angry at all, "I was sold, and I happily gave the number of money!" Thankfully, they've been convicted now, otherwise, we'd have a headache. He looked at Yelu Nan, "You say, these spies don't only exist in Xia and Liao, but there should also be in the Jin Kingdom, right?" Will General Shen ......?"

"With their current relationship with Wan Yan Ping, it shouldn't be, but Wan Yan Xi will know." Yelu Nan touched his chin, "These spies have not been in Lixia and Liao for a day or two, and it has been at least a hundred years since they went back, and it is not so easy to find out. It's just that I can't figure out why the Tantai family and the Black Armor Battalion arranged eyeliner between us and Jin back then. ”

"First of all, to correct you a mistake, the Tantai family and the Black Armor Camp have been more than a hundred years, how can there be a ......" Qi Zhifeng glanced at Xiao Fengqi, "Three hundred years, almost, right?" ”

"Almost!" Xiao Fengqi nodded, "At that time, the land we stepped on was within the territory of Liang Kingdom. ”

"You two ......" Yelu Nan looked at Xiao Fengqi and then at Qi Zhifeng, "Do you know a lot about the Shantai family and the Black Armor Battalion?" ”

"Tan Taice is a generation of war gods and legends, doesn't Anan know anything about it?" Qi Zhifeng stared at the two big round eyes, with an incredible expression, "In the past few hundred years, all the generals who have led the troops have regarded the Taice as a benchmark and a goal to surpass. Unfortunately...... "he spread his hands," he said, "no one has reached his level, and no one has surpassed his merits." ”

"I've only heard that he's very good, and I don't know him very well. Besides, I didn't think about leading troops before, so I didn't need to know about this, did I? ”

"You don't understand, it doesn't matter, the two of us know each other very well." Qi Zhifeng and Xiao Fengqi glanced at each other, with the same evil smile on their faces, "We can help you make up for it!" ”

Seeing the ill-intentioned appearance of the two people, Yelu Nan suddenly regretted what he had just said. But the words have already been spoken, and it is too late to regret it, so they can only resign themselves to fate and be at the mercy of them.

What happened between Yelu Nan, Qi Zhifeng and Xiao Fengqi, Shen Cha, who had not yet received a reply, did not know, and similarly, it was not clear that Ye Lu Nan was in dire straits of "tutoring common sense" because of one of her letters. If she knew, she wouldn't care, since it was inevitable for the Shangtai family and the Black Armor Battalion, it was also necessary to have an in-depth understanding of their situation, after all, everyone came step by step like this.

Xue Ruitian personally returned to Beijing to learn from His Royal Highness King Ning about the specific situation of Mrs. Xue Hou's case in person, and this proposal was unanimously agreed by the acting prince, Wu Qingruo and His Royal Highness King Ning, and even His Royal Highness King Ning took the initiative to propose that if Xue Ruitian was inconvenient to return to Xijing, he could go to the border pass. However, this proposal was rejected by everyone.

Mrs. Xuehou's case finally came to a conclusion, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, this trip to Xijing finally did not come back in vain.

Having solved this matter, they began to concentrate all their energy on the issue of cooperation with Wan Yanxi.

Wan Yan Xi voluntarily and took the initiative to ask Great Xia to send troops to help him defeat Wan Yan Ping and regain the throne that belonged to him. In return, he promised that the Jin Kingdom would be reconciled with Great Xia for a hundred years, and that he would never violate the borders of Great Xia for at least a hundred years, and not only that, but he also promised to temporarily hand over the fifteen cities adjacent to Great Xia to Great Xia for a period of seventy years. Seventy years later, Bactria returned these fifteen cities to Zhao.

According to Wan Yanxi's original meaning, he also wanted to pay tribute to Great Xia twice a year, but starting from Song Jue, the important ministers involved in the negotiations all objected, believing that this tribute was actually completely unnecessary, after all, the Jin State was not a vassal state of Great Xia.

"When Wanyan Gongzi first ascended the throne, the Jin Kingdom had already experienced many years of war, and the people were struggling to make a living, so it was time to recuperate. And the tribute that Wanyan Gongzi said is a move to work hard and lose money, if it causes trouble and burden to the people of Jinguo, this is not in line with our original intention of helping you. ”

Song Jue said so and did so, completely disagreeing with Wan Yanxi's proposal, Wan Yanxi insisted that there must be a return, Daxia sent troops, and people ate horses to feed, this is a huge expense, he can't pretend not to see it.

As a result of the dispute, each side took a step back, and the fifteen cities managed by Great Xia were handed over to Great Xia every year as compensation for the troops sent by Great Xia.

The most important conditions were negotiated by everyone, and other minor problems were solved smoothly.

On the fortieth day after Wan Yanxi followed Shen Jiajun back to Xijing, he finally got the biggest thing in his life, and his fate changed dramatically.

Tuoying Thirteen sent Wan Yanxi back to the garrison of the forbidden army, and all the people moved to the imperial study and began to discuss the arrangements for the Queen Mother's birthday banquet next month.

According to the custom of Daxia, when the mother is 66 years old, she needs her daughter to slaughter a pig by herself, select the best part of the pig and cut it off, cook a delicacy herself, and personally enrich her mother in front of all the guests at the birthday banquet.

And the Queen Mother is exactly sixty-six years old this year, she has no biological daughter, only Song Jinyu is an adopted daughter, and this heavy responsibility falls on Song Jinyu.

Song Jinyu is happy to do anything for the Queen Mother, as long as she can do it, she will not refuse. But only in the matter of cooking, she really didn't have any confidence, it was beyond her ability.

"Little tea ......" Song Jinyu glanced at Shen Cha, who was checking the birthday banquet process with Song Qiyun and Bai Meng, "There should be one too, right?" The queen mother always said that she wanted to accept Xiaocha as a righteous daughter, and you should also contribute, right? ”

"Me?" Shen Cha, who was named, raised his head to look at Song Jinyu, "Let me cook?" Yes! ”

"What can be!" Song Jue waved his hand at Shen Haolin and Song Qiyun, and asked them to quickly stop Shen Cha, who was eager to try, "Can you eat what you made?" ”

"Brother Xiao Jue, don't look down on people, why can't you eat it?" Shen Cha looked unconvinced, "It's just a little unpalatable." ”

"Unpalatable?" Song Qiyun patted Shen Cha's shoulder, "Sister Xiaocha, it doesn't matter if it's unpalatable, this is something we can bear, but the things you make are not just unpalatable, and if you don't do it, it will kill you." He turned his head to look at Song Jinyu, "There is such a saying circulating at the border gate, cherish your life, please General Shen stay away from the dining room." ”

"Is it so scary?" Seeing Shen Cha nodding helplessly, Song Jinyu couldn't cry or laugh, "I didn't expect that Xiaocha, you are inferior to me in this regard." ”

"Didn't I just say that? From the beginning of the pig killing to the final cooking, let me do it, no problem at all, it just depends on whether you are bold enough to let my dishes appear at the birthday banquet. ”

"Forget it then!" Song Jinyu waved her hand, "I don't want to scratch my life at the birthday banquet." ”

"Actually, with your qualifications, if there is a famous teacher to guide you, you can still make a dish in the remaining twenty days."

"Famous teacher? Who is it? Song Jinyu looked sad, "The master of the imperial dining room has given up on me." ”

"The master of the imperial dining room is not a famous teacher." Shen Cha raised his eyebrows at Song Jinyu, "In front of Miao Miao, they only have the advantage of bowing down!" ”
