By the time the army returned to Beijing in triumph, it would already be in the spring of February of the following year.

In the court, Liang Shuye was awarded the rank of general of Zhenxi, attacked the marquis, and led the first grade of the emperor's grain, second only to his father Lao Lianggong.

As for the rewards of gold, silver, jade silk, and good land estates, there are countless of them.

Liang's mother is already a fate, and there is no seal, but the emperor let Liang Yu be buried and posthumously named his woman.

Liang Yu, the heroine of the battlefield, is dead, but Liang Yu, who has the soul of another world, is still alive, and she moved into Mao'er Hutong, a delicate small courtyard with Luo Xian.

Xu Sheng won the official because of his military merits, and he was on duty at the Yamen of the infantry army, making up for the lack of a city gate leader, and was in charge of the opening and closing of the nine gates of the capital city in the morning and dusk, and inspected the entry and exit.

However, the official rank of the promoted son is not high, although he has entered the stream, he has a fixed salary, but it is only enough to pay the rent of the courtyard, and when it comes to the problem of eating a few people, it is a drop in the bucket.

The price of goods in the capital is expensive, and there are many families.

Counting the three members of the Luo family, Liang Yu, and the full hoarding daughter-in-law, Sanniang and Douzi from Tongzhou-

Li Chen escorted Yougen back to the village at that time, and then came back to look for Sister A, there was no one, all the way from Liangzhou to Tongzhou, until Sanniang received a letter from Luo Shi, he didn't know that Sister A had settled in the capital.

So, he protected Qiqi and Sanniang, and several people entered Beijing together and lived in the courtyard.

Although Sanniang has silver in hand, she also plans to open a branch shop in the capital, but Luo Shi can't always reach out to her to ask for money.

Although the lady is her own idea, but in the past three years, Sanniang has been doing her best to maintain, develop and grow, people say that entrepreneurship is easy to keep and difficult to keep, so this snack shop has long been not her astringent.

In order to earn some rations, Luo Shi still plans to return to her old business and become a glorious cook.

This time, instead of opening a restaurant or selling spicy dishes, a spicy food team was set up in the kitchen, which went to Zhumen's mansion to cook food for people.

Specially fired blue and white porcelain, bright glaze, the bottom of the plate with cinnabar burned square seal, the only one; A set of easy-to-carry spatulas and retorts, as large as steamers and small grates, are fully prepared; The kitchen team with a clear division of labor, the main spoon of rastringen, the deputy who is full of daughters-in-law's side dishes, and a number of helpers who wash vegetables, wipe dishes, and spices.

The original Zhumen aristocrats, they do red and white ceremonies, and often charter a big restaurant to invite a feast, which is as expensive as flowing water, but there are only a few big restaurants in the capital that eat and go, and there is no freshness at all.

As a result, the private spicy dish team of Luo Shi has a market.

At first, she only received a few family banquets, but then the response was very good, and the spicy dish team gradually became famous in the upper circles.

Wang Sun Guiguan, high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen, regardless of whether it is a red and white wedding event or a farewell banquet, they are willing to invite this private spicy food kitchen team to come to the house to cook vegetables and set up a feast, decent and trendy, and the taste is very good.

Business was booming for a while, and in order to hold on to her worth, Luo Shi decided to only play twice a month.

Even so, the guests who booked her have been scheduled from February to the second half of the year.

Today, I just made three tables of thank-you banquets for a family of Li Hanlin's Mansion, and I packed up my things and went back to the yard in the middle of the night, and I was so tired that my back and legs hurt.

Qiqi rested early, and slept in the west wing room with Sanniang, Luo Shi resisted the urge to kiss her, washed and wiped her teeth quickly, and prepared to go back to the house to sleep.

"Rashi—"

Luo Shi turned around when she heard the sound, and saw Liang Yu wearing a coat, pulling her shoes, and standing in the courtyard with thin clothes, calling her.

"The spring is cold, you don't add an extra piece of clothing, how is your body?"

Luo Shi knew that Liang Yu's vitality was greatly injured in the battle of Shuiguan, Xirong was extinguished, the boulder in her heart fell, and the whole person seemed to wilt, and the medicine could not be broken for a day.

Liang Yu knew in her heart that she didn't have many days to stay in another world.

"Just like that, I can't die for a while, lie in the yard and blossom, listen to the flowers fall, in the past, there was never such a comfortable day"

"Listen to the artistic conception you said, with that little demon king here, where does it come from?"

Luo Xi smiled, Qiqi longed for heroes, the most powerful general who longed for the battlefield, Liang Yu's temperament of killing, she was not afraid at all, but was very close.

One by one, my aunt shouted very kindly, she was like a fire, and Liang Yu, a piece of 10,000-year-old ice, was about to melt away.

At the mention of Qiqi, the corners of Liang Yu's mouth moved, and he smiled lightly:

"Uncle Liang has seen her at night?"

Luo Shi shook his head, smiled a little reluctantly, and after he returned to Beijing, the emperor issued an edict ordering him to live in the princess's mansion to comfort the little princess's grievances of staying in the empty house for three years.

Except for the parade on the street after being sealed, she had gazed at his back from afar, and after that, she had never seen him in private.

"It's okay if I don't see you, I promised Mrs. Liang that if I don't step into the capital half a step in this life, I will break my promise."

"All my mother's code of conduct, for the Liang family, for Uncle Ye"

Liang Yu paused, his eyes were stained with three points of sickness, and he said a little wistfully:

"The little princess has been guarding the empty house for three years, and there is nothing to come out of, and my mother has scolded and urged her to give birth to a son for the Liang family as soon as possible...... Everyone in the world knows her suffering, and thinks that after Uncle Liang returns to Beijing at night, he will cherish her more, but my mother understands the facts and knows that this marriage Uncle Ye is extremely disgusted, not to mention raising the case and raising eyebrows, heart to heart, it is the most basic reproduction of children, he can't do it"

Luo Shi lowered her eyes, found a stone bench in the courtyard and sat down, and listened to Liang Yu continue.

"In a few days, the peach blossoms will bloom, and the princess's mansion will hold a flower viewing banquet, invite the capital celebrities, and look for people in the room for the uncle's night."

Liang Yu looked at Luo Shi's face, and when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't swallow them.

"What do you mean, you want me to be his concubine?"

Luo smiled gently, without a hint of mockery or annoyance, as if to say something inconsequential.

"Not my hope, but your own choice. I'm the same as you, I have been educated since I was a child, and I can't tolerate sharing my husband with others, a single-minded person, a total of white heads - Ke Luo, in the past three years, I have been more or less clear about your feelings, at that time I didn't know you, so I naturally persuaded you to break off your love and leave, but after a few life and death, I will always ask myself: You are not afraid of dying for him, why are you afraid of that princess? ”

"It's not that I'm afraid, it's disdain, my affection for him shouldn't have become a weapon for me to offend my marriage, since he has married her, whether voluntarily or not, it is already a reality"

"Then what did you do with him in the capital? I bothered to engage in this spicy food team, but I just wanted to use an excuse to enter the house, and for the sake of his hysteria, I was willing to make a human flesh plasma machine."

Luo Shi's secret thoughts were ruthlessly pierced by Liang Yu.

Yes, what she said was so righteous and awe-inspiring, chic and free! But her behavior is humble, just to stay by his side, guard, protect, even so, she is content and at ease.

The fists are clenched, the nails that have not been trimmed for a long time, the flesh that is buckled into the palms-

He stood up and said in a muffled voice:

"I'm tired, go to sleep, you should rest early"

Liang Yu glanced at her, nodded, looked at the crescent moon in the dark night sky, and said lightly:

"From childhood to adulthood, in addition to the art of war and military skills, he is a person who has difficulty in choosing, and the only thing I have seen him believe in and never hesitate to do - is to love you"

Liang Yu's words blew away the night wind, and Luo Shi left in a panic, as if she was on the run.

The Eldest Princess's Mansion, copying the verandah

Jia Yuan ate breakfast, and because he was greedy for a few more sweet bowls, he went to the verandah to feed the fish.

The fish scrambled to break through the water first, scrambling for the fish food in her hand, but she didn't smile at all.

She was in a bad mood, she got up in the morning and looked at herself in the mirror, there was a fine line at the corner of her eyes, the polycore that Dongfang Tanjin offered, she used it almost again, if there was no fresh polycore, her skin and flesh would age very quickly, which made her irritable every day.

The blood poison on Liang Shuye's body, I don't know if it has any effect? At least the spies in the barracks report every month, and they don't find the traverser.

A handful of fish food in his hand was scattered, Jia Yuan helped the verandah and sat down sideways.

"The eldest princess, the little princess asks to see, and now the people have already arrived at the teahouse"

The willow waist of the woman dressed as a big girl is swinging, and she is blessed to tell Jiayuan.

Jia Yuan sneered when he heard this, as if he knew what this simple little niece was here for, he lazily leaned on the trunk, and opened his lips and said:

"Please come in—"

"Auntie! Aunt! You have to help me, that mother-in-law of the Liang family is angry with me, if it weren't for Uncle Ye's victory, she wouldn't dare to bully me like this! ”

Before anyone arrived, the sound of whirring had already drifted into the porch.

The little princess was dressed in a brocade skirt, a wide-sleeved gown with gold silk flowers, and a pair of embroidered shoes with Dadong beads.

"Mother-in-law? But your mother-in-law who is the commander of the golden sword? ”

Jia Yuan smiled and motioned to the maid to hand the little princess a piece of incense to moisten her throat.

"I am a princess, only the master of the heavenly family, and the courtiers and slaves, and there is no mother-in-law! She, she also ordered me to give Shu Ye a concubine, and even my father agreed, I can't give birth to a son, it's all because of ...... It's because ......"

As he spoke, he was about to shed tears of grievance.

"Alright! Crying and crying, what does it look like, how big is it, but after accepting a concubine, which famous family can still surpass you? ”

The little princess didn't like to hear this, and said angrily:

"If the princess is still the princess, there is no reason to take a concubine, I don't raise a face, I have already given him face, and he still wants to have other fox spirits, I will never agree!"

When Jia Yuan heard this, his face sank, this yellow-haired girl was open-mouthed!

Raise the face first, don't give the horse face...... Don't you say her Jiayuan again?

The little princess obviously realized her mistake, and lowered her head, afraid that her aunt would be angry, and said angrily:

"Aunt, my father will only listen to you now, this capital court, the imperial harem, where is not you in charge...... I don't want to take a concubine for my uncle...... Aunt! ”

Jia Yuan made the little girl have a headache, waved his hand and said:

"You come here, I have a way to listen to you, you do it, within three years, Uncle Liang will not only not be able to accept a concubine, but no one will dare to say that you are not."

The little princess was surprised, and hurriedly listened to Jia Yuan's instructions, nodding from time to time, indicating that she had written it down.

*

In the morning, Luo Shi was busy working in the stove room and made a bowl of pea yellow for Qiqi.

Qionghuang is a piece, but it is too sweet and cold, and it is not easy to eat more on this day.

Qiqi pinched one in one hand, and went to knock on the door of the pocket early with her radish legs, she was full of thoughts about her little uncle, and she had already forgotten about Shengzi.

This made Shengzi very hurt, today he was at home, and he wanted to play with Qiqi for a day, but this little girl only had others in his eyes, which made him so sad.

A person squatted in the yard to help Luo Shi chop wood, very aggrieved, and finally Liang Yu spoke up, saying that he was willing to teach him another set of gossip knife techniques, and he smiled again, like a child.

In the stove room, the firewood crackled and burned.

Luo Shi and Mantu's daughter-in-law wanted to prepare a big family's lunch, and while she was rolling out the dough, she asked about Erkui and Uncle Manchu about the current situation.

"And don't worry, when I left, Erkui was already with Niu Qian, and he planned to learn a carpenter's trade, so that the serious girl of Tongzhou could look at it; As for the old man, he is very good in the errand team, he has a bite to eat, and the young man Chang Gung is good and willing to take care of him, and his life is much better than when he was in the bitter water."

Luo Xin nodded, knowing that Aunt Cuiying came to Beijing to help her, and she always remembered this kindness.

For Aunt Cuiying, she also treats her as her own aunt, and like Sanniang, she is a person who talks intimately.

"Tuk-tuk—"

At this time, someone knocked on the door of the courtyard, Luo Shi had Feiluo powder in her hand, and it was inconvenient to open the door, she probed out of the stove room and saw that Shengzi had opened the courtyard door.

"Girl from the host!"

The person who came was Lao Chen, the steward of the spicy team, who was responsible for liaising with business customers.

"Old Chen? What's the matter, but the wedding banquet of Lord Wang's family next month has changed? ”

"Yes, someone spent a lot of money to ask Lord Wang to buy an appointment time, and he also booked thirty tables of running water banquet in the restaurant for him, as long as the girl you cook for her next month!"

Lao Chen was also amazed by the employer's generosity, and he kept sighing.

"Which one?"

"The princess's mansion in Guangxiang in the south of the city, I heard that it was going to hold a flower-viewing banquet, and I gave a large amount of reward."

Lao Qian took out three silver tickets from his arms and handed them to Luo Shi.
