Chapter 229, Nine Lives

The red tassels on the window lattice are somewhat similar to Chinese knots, but they are not exactly like them, they were drawn by Yan Yan based on his impressions and then woven with Qinghe for several days, the purpose is naturally to draw a joy.

Coincidentally, the original owner's grandmother, Mrs. Yan, also likes to weave these small objects, such as tapes, ropes, pendants, etc., so when the queen mother saw this red tape, she couldn't help but think of her sister.

Seeing this, Yan Yan hurriedly took over the words, "So that's the case, no wonder everyone praised me for being smart, it turned out to be with my grandmother, I said, my grandmother is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and embroidery, and can do business, and cooking skills are also serious, I still learned this cooking from my grandmother, I remember when I was a child, my grandmother taught me to make dim sum and always like to make it while chanting, 'This dim sum sister loves to eat, The eldest sister also likes that dish, for this reason, I also specially prepared two hometown dishes for the old lady today, but unfortunately, I definitely don't have the authentic ones made by my grandmother. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Yan also got on the kang and climbed to the side of the Queen Mother.

"This kid is really not ashamed, how can anyone boast of being smart?" The Queen Mother reached out and poked Yan Yan's forehead, and then hugged her again.

Zhu Shi looked at the interaction between the two people, and then looked at Yan Yu, who was still sitting on the cold bench on the Luohan collapse, and his heart was even more uncomfortable.

"This boy is indeed smart, and no one can praise him. By the way, Da Lang's daughter-in-law, I just said that you can make a map, what is going on? Mrs. Lu saw that the Queen Mother's eyes were a little red, and she hurriedly diverted the conversation.

"In fact, I bought a barren mountain and wasteland, thinking of building a Zhuangzi, but it was inconvenient for me to go out and deal with the steward, so I drew the layout and planning of the Zhuangzi, and then I thought that the drawing was still not clear enough, and I was afraid that they would not understand, so I made such a big mold with sand, mud, wood and other tools." Yan Yan gestured as he spoke.

"Can Zhuangzi also be made into molds?" The women present were curious.

"Yes, you can go and see when the emperor and them finish talking, and it's there, but we can go to dinner now, and I invite you elders to move." Yan Yan accepted this topic, took the lead in getting off the kang first, and helped the Queen Mother get off the kang and helped her put on her cloak, and on the other side, Zhu also helped the old lady Lu to get off the kang.

Coming out of the upper room, Yan Yan led everyone along the verandah into the side hall on the west side, the side hall is very large, and there is a stage on the north wall, it is estimated that it was originally a place to sing and listen to operas, Yan Yan was not interested in this, and changed it into a large dining room for banquets, separated by a screen.

Because the space in the side hall was too large and the usage rate was not high, Yan Yan did not install a fireplace in this room, but only ordered someone to place a few pots of charcoal fire against the wall, so when he lifted the door curtain, there was also a hot breath.

But the first thing that catches your eye is the half-human-high moon season in the middle aisle, which is in full bloom, all bright red, very festive.

"Yan'er, your flower is well raised, no worse than the one in Cining Palace." The Queen Mother couldn't help but praise.

"Back to the Queen Mother, I really don't dare to take credit for this, it's my grandmother's credit, and those narcissus in the house are also given by my grandmother." Yan Yan took advantage of the situation to push out Old Madam Lu.

Sure enough, Mrs. Lu also smiled like a flower on her face when she heard this, "Back to the Queen Mother, when the courtiers were young, they were good at fiddling with flowers, flowers, or something, and now that they are old, they have nothing else to worry about, and they have put their thoughts on these flowers. ”

"Okay, thank you very much." The Queen Mother gave Mrs. Lu this face.

While talking, Yan Yan led everyone to the other side of the screen, and then glanced at Qing Glaze, Qing Glaze hurriedly turned around and went out, Yan Yan had just arranged the seats for everyone here, and Lu You also brought Li Zhi a few in, and Yan Yan personally ran out to invite the emperor a few.

Li Cong, Lu Duan, and Yan Peng obviously talked happily with each other, and several people were all smiling when they came out, and when they saw Yan Yan, Li Cong reached out and patted her on the head, "Yan'er, you have done me a great favor again, tell me, what reward do you want?" ”

"Really?" Yan Yan's eyes lit up, but he quickly bent into an arc again, "Then I can say, Your Majesty, this house is too big, there are too many houses, the blessing characters you wrote last time are not enough, when you have time, write a few for me, and you must cover the jade seal." ”

Theoretically, this is not a high requirement.

But who knew that Li Cong didn't follow the routine when he heard this, but raised his eyes and looked around, and nodded, "It's a bit big, just two of you, why don't you change to a smaller house?" ”

Yan Yan's face immediately collapsed when he heard this, "Isn't it, Uncle Emperor, you are too unkind, don't you take such a toss?" We just ... ”

"Bold, dare to say that I am not kind, how many heads have you grown?" Li Cong glared at Yan Yan.

Lu Duan and Yan Peng on the side were frightened and hurriedly asked for mercy, but they saw that Yan Yan quickly changed his smiling face and rubbed to Li Cong's side, "Your Majesty, you don't know yet, I was a cat in my previous life and had nine lives." My grandmother didn't talk about this a lot when she was young, so I came back from the dead. ”

As soon as he said this, Li Cong also took Yan Yan out of temper, and smiled at Lu Duan and Yan Peng, "This kid is going to eat me." ”

"That's the emperor who loves her." Yan Peng replied respectfully.

"But even so, the Yan family is also presumptuous, and there is a difference between monarchs and ministers." Lu Duan said cautiously, he was afraid that if the emperor was unhappy one day, he would settle accounts after the autumn, and the Lu family would not be able to afford it.

"I am her uncle, and I am equivalent to half a father, Peng Cheng left early, who can protect her if I don't protect her?"

As soon as he said this, Yan Peng immediately knelt down, "The minister is derelict in his duties, please ask the emperor to surrender." ”

Seeing this, Lu Duan also knelt down, "If you want to say something wrong, the minister's fault is even greater, and the dog has no blessing and no virtue, which has caused the Yan family to suffer so much and suffer so many grievances." ”

"That's it, let's all be even, I don't mean to blame you, it's all over, let's look forward." Li Cong personally stepped forward to help the two of them, "You, it's better to be transparent than a child, Yan'er knows that I am a guest today, a relative, not a monarch and a minister, you are trembling one by one." ”

"Back to the emperor, it's the ministers who are pedantic." Yan Peng bowed his head and replied.

can admit his mistakes and admit his mistakes, and he will never dare to let him talk to the emperor like Yan Yan.

Without him, the emperor has never looked at him with that kind of loving, joyful, and equal eyes.

And Lu Duan is even more, he has no relatives and blood relationship with the emperor, so he can only abide by the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, fortunately, he has military merits, and now it is the time to employ people, he speaks more hard than Yan Peng in front of the emperor.

No matter how tough he is, he will never dare to be on an equal footing with the emperor, and he will not dare to disobey the courtesies of the monarch and ministers.
