Han Ting thought about it, in addition to opening a restaurant, that is, opening a restaurant, Xi Hongdou himself opened a restaurant, and all the ways to attract people were also thought of, and it was really not good-looking for him to eat ready-made food like this.

"When you open a restaurant, you can't nod your head." Han Ting said,

"Not necessarily, she never has a monopoly." Han Yushu said.

Han Ting also very much agrees with this, otherwise Xi Hongdou's business will be done by himself, and now they have made their own money, and they have a lot of taxes to the court, and the court is also happy to see them send money, and the relationship with the family has eased a lot, but it is not easy to start construction in winter, even if he is in a hurry, he can only wait until March Spring is warm to make plans.

During the New Year, Kyoto City was also very lively, and people who had been released from Beijing to serve as officials in the early years also came back one after another. Those who have political achievements will be directly transferred back to Beijing, and then those who have no political achievements in Beijing will be transferred to the place, and there are still people who are so-so, and there is a high probability that they will not be able to return to Beijing for the rest of their lives, but those with superior family backgrounds also secretly helped, and finally came back.

Soon, the news of Yan Qi's marriage came out, but to everyone's surprise, Yan Qi's engagement partner was a princess.

Today, the emperor has sons and princesses, and Princess Jiarong, who is engaged to Yan Qi, is not from the queen, and her biological mother is just a little nobleman, but because the emperor loves Princess Jiarong, the rest of the nobles are still nourishing in the palace. However, Princess Jiarong has been frail and sick since she was a child, and she has never decided to marry, and now she has directly given her marriage to Yan Qi, and many people also feel that the Yan family is really at a loss.

And what everyone is most surprised is that the emperor would let Yan Qi be his son-in-law, under normal circumstances, the emperor will not be too important to use the master's concubine, but Yan Qi is a pillar of the material, and the emperor will give marriage to the princess, which is ......

"I don't know what the Yan family thinks now, the emperor has always trusted the Yan family very much, and now Jingzhong has also begun to speculate about what the emperor meant." Master Xiao also talked about it.

Xiao Zhi shook his head: "Maybe there is something else, but the emperor will not be so confused as to waste such a good talent." ”

Master Xiao said: "Now many people are ready to move, thinking that the Yan family is a precursor to losing power. "Yan Xiang has been a cabinet leader for many years, and there must be people who want to replace him.

"Let's wait and see what happens." Xiao Zhi said that with his understanding of the emperor, he would rather let the princess marry someone else, and he should not waste a pillar.

After the year, there was a palace banquet in the palace, and Xiao Zhi was promoted because of the matter of the king of alcohol, and he was also in the banquet list, in previous years, Mrs. Xiao would go, but this year, there was a grandson in the family, and the matter of entering the palace to participate in the palace banquet was handed over to Xi Hongdou.

"Huh? I don't want to go either! Xi Hongdou smiled bitterly, there are many things in the palace, there are many rules, Mrs. Xiao has a sore back every time she goes, and she says that she can't move while sitting, she doesn't want to suffer this crime!

Mrs. Xiao said: "Go, Xiao Zhi can take his family there at the same time this year, you can't let him go by himself, you can also go and see, and have a long insight." ”

Xi Hongdou is helpless, you don't have to think about it, you know that after entering the palace, your grandfather's background must be discussed, anyway, if there are more lice, you are not afraid of biting, and you are not afraid of being talked about anymore.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, there was a banquet in the palace, and Xi Hongdou was a little nervous when he participated in such a palace banquet for the first time.

The clothes on his body were specially selected by Mrs. Xiao, low-key and luxurious, Xi Hongdou did not dare to separate after Xiao Zhi took a step, for fear that he would be treated as a person who could be treated if he got lost.

Sitting in his own place, Xiao Zhi said: "Don't be nervous, the palace banquet will not be so restrained, and don't be scared by your mother, she will only get tired if she holds it." ”

Xi Hongdou looked around, and the daughters-in-law of other families were also in place, one by one, the public sat smoothly, and there were few people looking up, and she was the only one looking around like her.

"After eating this meal, it definitely tastes like chewing wax, and it is better to nibble on sauce-flavored chicken feet at home!" Xi Hongdou said, but there is no way, this kind of scene must be there, and if you want to eat delicious food, you don't need to use this place.

The emperor is sitting on the main seat, Xiao Zhi is not a big official position after all, and the place is far away from the emperor, Xi Hongdou took a sneak look, and finally saw what the emperor looked like, ordinary appearance, but that aura was really not angry and arrogant.

Xiao Zhi poured fruit wine for Xi Hongdou, so he didn't have to hold it so far away, but his father's position was even higher, and it was estimated that he would be affected this time.

She didn't know the little daughters-in-law sitting opposite, and the ladies who had never seen it in the circle of noblewomen who thought it was Kyoto City were also divided into several circles.

Xi Hongdou sat for a while, drank a lot of fruit wine, and went out directly to the toilet, and there was a little palace maid at the door to guide the way, and Xi Hongdou followed.

After the toilet was finished, Xi Hongdou came out only to find that the little palace maid who led the way was gone.

"What about people?" Xi Hongdou wondered, but fortunately, she wrote down the way she came, and returned the same way.

Halfway through, I came across a small garden, and I have to say that the garden in the palace is also colorful in winter, and there are evergreen vegetation, looking lush.

"Did you just see that? The one of the Xiao family, I had heard that the Xiao family married a daughter-in-law who couldn't get on the stage, and when I saw it, it seemed a little squeamish! ”

A woman's voice came, the person who spoke was behind the tree, and she didn't find anyone eavesdropping outside, but Xi Hongdou saw that the toilet had to pass through this road, even if she didn't hear it, others would hear it, and the people inside would not be stupid like this, obviously they didn't care about saying bad things about people, and because they couldn't see people, they also wanted to talk about it!

Xi Hongdou listened to the discussion and continued to talk about it, saying that it didn't matter if she was born in the countryside, after all, this is a fact, but it would be too much to say that she was born in the countryside as if everything was not good, who said that countrymen don't know etiquette?

"I see that the woman has no rules, and Master Xiao also served her vegetables, and she still ate with peace of mind, it must be because the female training has not been read all!" The other said again.

Xi Hongdou couldn't help it, the other party couldn't see her anyway, and there was no one around, so he raised his voice and said: "People don't have any etiquette, and it's better than some people talking about people behind their backs, and it's so blatant to say bad things about people, and I don't know how a few people study women's training!" ”

A few of them didn't expect someone to talk, and they all shut up and listened to the movement all of a sudden, and Xi Hongdou said: "Your husband doesn't give you vegetables, and I don't think I feel sorry for you, you are nothing more than sour in your heart!" After shouting, Xi Hongdou bricks left, and when the people inside were brave enough to come out to see, the people were already gone.

After returning to the banquet, Xi Hongdou didn't say anything, lest Xiao Zhi think too much, and then the daughters-in-law came back, and their eyes at her were also weird, and they were not sure whether the person who shouted just now was Xi Hongdou.

Xi Hongdou ignored it directly, as if nothing had happened, and the only way to deal with the keyboard warrior was to spray these people directly, and he would be happy.

After a while, a woman came in from outside the gate, followed by the palace maid, the woman looked a little pale and thin, Xi Hongdou wondered and asked, "Who is this?" ”

Xiao Zhi said: "Yan Qi's fiancée, Princess Jiarong. ”

"It turned out to be a princess, but it didn't look very good." Xi Hongdou obviously saw that this princess seemed to be unrestrained, and her sick appearance was undisguised.

Xiao Zhi also wondered: "When I entered the palace before, this Princess Jiarong looked quite healthy. ”

The two of them muttered quietly that the wives of other families were not very happy in their hearts, Yan Qi is a hot young talent in Kyoto City, he was given a good position after returning to Beijing earlier, and it is needless to say that if it were not for the emperor's marriage, Yan Qi might be their son-in-law, and now they can only look at Yan Qi This dragon fast son-in-law cheapens the princess.

It is said that the emperor's daughter is not worried about getting married, but this Princess Jiarong is not like that.

The emperor has few daughters, and the eldest princess died at an early age, which made the emperor very distressed. It's just that Princess Jiarong is sick and weak, and drinking medicine all the year round is said to be a medicine jar, plus the emperor loves her, so she has to be naughty, and now the emperor is not good at finding her in-laws, on the one hand, she is afraid that her daughter will marry low and be wronged, and on the other hand, if she marries too well, she is also afraid that her in-laws will dislike her daughter's illness and weakness, so the marriage has dragged on to this time.

The emperor of the Yan family also mentioned it in advance, and Yan Xiang was also worried that his son would be pushed out of the circle of power after sitting on the horse, but the emperor also promised that his daughter was not born by the queen after all, so it would not have any impact, and his trust in the Yan family would not change because of his daughter.

Even though the emperor is a king, he is also a father, and as a result, the matter of marriage was speculated about by people in Kyoto City, which made people panic.

Xi Hongdou was eating with her head down, although she was depressed in the palace, but fortunately, the thing was really fragrant, and the taste outside the palace was not the same.

Xiao Zhi continued to pick up vegetables, and when the daughters-in-law and wives who had said bad things before saw it, their faces were even more unoptimistic, and what Xi Hongdou said was not wrong, they were indeed sour and very jealous.

"Look, the princess has gone to find the village girl!" A person next to him whispered, Xi Hongdou just heard it, thinking that the "village girl" they said was her, so he looked up.

Princess Jiarong was looking at her with a smile at this time, her eyes were full of curiosity, Xi Hongdou quickly put down the chicken leg in her hand, wiped her mouth, and said, "The princess is polite." ”

Xiao Zhi was puzzled and asked, "Does the princess want to ......?" ”

"Can I borrow your daughter-in-law?" The princess said with a smile, the smiling face on her sick face was cute, Xi Hongdou looked at Xiao Zhi, and she didn't know what this princess was going to do.

Xiao Zhi had also seen this princess a few times, so he nodded: "Princess, please." ”
